Chapter 172: Yan Xing and Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying stare at each other, why did you surrender too?

"Sorry, my lord."

"If I want to live, I have to kill you."

Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying looked at Han Sui, whose breath was gradually fading, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

But the next moment, this trace of guilt dissipated with the wind.

Historically, Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying was indeed a loyal subject to Han Sui.

After Yan Xing betrayed Han Sui, Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying still did not abandon him.

But... at that time, Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying had been following Han Sui for nearly thirty years!

Not like now, where every day he was either following Han Sui in rebellion or on the way to rebellion!

To put it bluntly,

what kind of lord teaches what kind of subordinate.

Since Han Sui debuted, he had rebelled no fewer than five times.

Looking at the history of the entire late Han and Three Kingdoms era, the number of people who could exceed Han Sui in rebellion could be counted on one hand.

Although every rebellion of Han Sui was to head toward a better future,

the subordinates who followed him were being nurtured by this rebellious ideology every day.

This led to there being no loyalty to speak of toward Han Sui himself.

More importantly,

Han Sui was someone who "could neither share adversity nor share prosperity."

When encountering danger,

Han Sui subconsciously wanted his subordinates to cover his retreat.

When encountering benefits,

Han Sui ate the meat, and his subordinates were highly likely not even able to drink a mouthful of hot soup.

This is why Han Sui had ambition, aspirations, and a certain degree of ability,

but could only struggle on this little patch of Liangzhou!

Compared to Dong Zhuo,

Han Sui had no "vision" to speak of.

Dong Zhuo's treatment of the Bingzhou faction and the Luoyang Imperial Guard faction could not be called good, and could even be called harsh.

But he was extremely good to the Countless Countless Xiliang loyalists who followed him in starting the business!

In Dong Zhuo's eyes, the high-level generals of the Countless Countless Xiliang loyalists were as important as family.

Looking at Han Sui again?

Subordinates take the blame, he takes the benefits.

If such a lord didn't encounter betrayal, that would be strange!

In the desperate situation just now,

Han Sui patted his butt and left, leaving Yan Xing to cover the retreat.

But what if Yan Xing couldn't hold on?

Then the next person left to cover the retreat would nine times out of ten be Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying!

Under such circumstances,

Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying, who knew Han Sui's personality, naturally had to strike first.

Otherwise, if Han Sui didn't die, the one who would die in a moment would be him!

Cutting off Han Sui's head,

Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying shouted loudly:

"The bandit leader Han Sui is dead!"

"We are willing to surrender!"

Zhang Xiu, who was galloping toward Han Sui, was stunned in place by the sudden change.

What's the situation?

He hadn't even made a move, and Han Sui was already dead?

Looking at Zhang Xiu, whose eyes were slightly dull, Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying came to his side and smiled slightly:

"This general, do you want Han Sui's head?"

Zhang Xiu nodded almost subconsciously.

Subsequently, a bloody object appeared in his hand.

It was exactly Han Sui's head!

"Hehe, I will leave this to the general."

"But I ask the general to be able to save my life."

Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying was very smart.

He intended to give the credit for killing Han Sui to Zhang Xiu.

In exchange for his own safety.

Although Zhang Xiu was a bit dull, he was not stupid.

After Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying's guidance, he understood Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying's meaning at this moment.

He nodded fiercely and promised Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying:

"Sir, rest assured."

"With me, Zhang Youwei, here, I will definitely guarantee your life safety!"

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying's mouth.

His goal was not just to exchange for his own life.

Instead, he intended to use Zhang Xiu as his stepping stone for promotion!

It is rumored that the strategists of the Dong Zhuo army are all ruthless and venomous.

Since that is the case, adding himself, that wouldn't be too many, right?

Anyway, the backgrounds of the high-level Dong Zhuo army are not high.

Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying himself is also from Liangzhou.

After joining the Dong Zhuo army, building a good relationship with the high-level Dong Zhuo army can also be barely called "Countless Countless Xiliang loyalists."

Isn't this more fragrant than hanging out with Han Sui?

Having made up his mind, Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying intended to follow Zhang Xiu to see the commander of the Dong Zhuo army in this battle.

Meanwhile,

beside Gu Yi, Yan Xing was standing at this moment.

Yes, Yan Xing also had the same idea as Cheng Cheng Cheng Gongying.

He planned to abandon Han Sui and join the Dong Zhuo army.

Looking at this young man who was much younger than himself, Yan Xing couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.

Although

he had defected very timely,

but... he still carried the identity of Han Sui's son-in-law.

If the commander of the Dong Zhuo army in front of him was unwilling to accept him,

I fear things would become very bad.

Fortunately, Yan Xing's worries were purely superfluous.

Gu Yi was pondering the historical records regarding Yan Xing.

Yan Xing's deeds were not many; to be precise, they were pitifully few.

But each one was a major event that affected the entire historical process of Liangzhou!

The first was that Yan Xing became the psychological shadow of Ma Chao in his youth!

Ma Chao in his youth, relying on his superior martial arts, challenged the generals of Han Sui's army one by one.

As a result, he was rubbed on the ground by Yan Xing.

The second was that Yan Xing followed Han Sui to betray Ma Chao.
