Chapter 87

the military formation originally set up by Han Sui’s soldiers was destroyed to a great extent!

Taking advantage of Han Sui and the Qiang and Di tribes being in a state of confusion, Gu Yi ordered the Flying Bear Army to raid Han Sui at the fastest speed!

To capture the bandits, first capture the king.

As long as Han Sui was killed,

this battle could be declared over.

But if they fell into a long stalemate, even the powerful Flying Bear Army would be drowned by the sea of people.

"Die!"

Zhang Xiu, as the vanguard, danced the golden spear in his hand with great vigor.

The number of soldiers who died by his hand was already no fewer than ten in the blink of an eye.

And Huang Zhong stood by Gu Yi’s side, constantly watching for potential threats from all directions.

With Ma Yunlu, the two became Gu Yi’s exclusive bodyguards, one on the left and one on the right.

On the city tower,

seeing this scene, Zhang He, Zhao Yun, and others had the light of survival in their eyes.

Especially when they saw Gu Yi in the crowd, the excitement in their hearts was beyond words.

Xu Rong immediately ordered Zhao Yun and Zhang He to act as the blade and launch a surprise attack on Han Sui’s army below the city!

The opportunity for battle is fleeting.

Zhao Yun and Zhang He were both brave in the chaotic army.

Especially Zhao Yun.

On the way to raid Han Sui, he even encountered a ten-thousand-man commander of the Di tribe.

That commander, relying on his own bravery, wanted to cut off Zhao Yun’s head.

But he didn't expect to be killed by Zhao Yun with a single spear thrust!

The group of Di cavalry following him were all terrified.

Han Sui’s face was as gloomy as water.

His army was collapsing at an incredible speed.

The Qiang and Di tribes were not much better off in comparison.

Especially the Di tribe, which had sent two ten-thousand-man commanders this time.

One had just been lost, and the army under him had fallen into chaos.

"My lord, retreat quickly."

"That Flying Bear Army is too good at finding loopholes."

"They are killing their way here; if we don't retreat, I fear it will be too late!"

Cheng Gongying urged Han Sui.

He understood that the Flying Bear Army’s target was Han Sui himself!

Including Xu Rong and the others on the city tower, they were also rushing here at this moment.

If Han Sui didn't leave, what awaited him was being surrounded from front and back!

"Hateful!"

"Just a little more, and I could have broken this Fufeng City!"

"Just a little more!"

Han Sui was so angry his back teeth were almost crushed.

But even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to face the fact that he was about to be defeated.

"Yan Xing, you stay behind to cover the retreat."

"I will retreat first."

Han Sui, under the protection of a portion of his army, left his original location.

Looking at Han Sui’s departing back,

a flash of resentment crossed Yan Xing’s eyes.

Han Sui, this selfish old father-in-law, once he encountered a thankless task, would hand it all over to his son-in-law Yan Xing to do.

And when he encountered good things, he always thought of himself.

Over time, the resentment in Yan Xing’s heart had grown heavier and heavier.

At this moment, facing defeat,

Yan Xing understood that Han Sui no longer had any possibility of rising again.

Rather than following Han Sui to a slow death,

it would be better to...

Thinking of this, Yan Xing decisively ordered his troops to retreat in another direction!

Zhang Xiu and the others, who were killing their way toward Han Sui, were slightly stunned looking at Yan Xing, who had suddenly dodged away.

"Aren't they the rear-guard army?"

"Why would they suddenly retreat without a fight?"

Zhang Xiu’s heart was full of confusion.

But at this moment, Yan Xing had retreated, and Han Sui had been exposed in Zhang Xiu’s field of vision!

In an instant,

Zhang Xiu seemed to see huge military merit beckoning to him!

"Flying Bear Army!"

"Follow me and kill!"

"Plop!"

Another wave of flying halberds fell.

The soldiers following Han Sui suffered a significant reduction in numbers once again.

"What is Yan Xing doing?"

"Why was the Flying Bear Army let through?"

Han Sui’s heart was in chaos.

Yan Xing not only didn't guard the rear but also brought a significant number of troops to make way for the Flying Bear Army.

This caused the distance between the Flying Bear Army and Han Sui to be shortening at a very fast speed!

"Yan Xing, he..."

Cheng Gongying saw the clues.

But at this moment, it was clearly not the time to settle scores with Yan Xing.

If they didn't retreat,

I fear Han Sui would definitely be buried here today.

"I absolutely cannot die!"

Han Sui roared sternly.

His ambitions, his aspirations, everything had not yet been realized, so how could he lose his life here?

"Kill a way out for me!"

It must be said

that the personal guards beside Han Sui had quite considerable combat power.

Fighting to the death, they actually managed to charge out a bloody path.

However,

just when Han Sui thought he had hope of escaping,

a spear leaping up pierced his heart!

"You..."

Looking at the person who thrust the spear,

Han Sui’s pupils constricted.

His eyes were full of disbelief!

"Sorry, my lord."

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

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 Gongying was indeed a loyal subject to Han Sui.

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

But... at that time, 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 Xiliang loyalists who followed him in starting the business!

In Dong Zhuo’s eyes, the high-level generals of the 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 Gongying!

Under such circumstances,

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

He nodded fiercely and promised 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 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 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 "Xiliang loyalists."

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

Having made up his mind, 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 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.
