Can I get to the other side?

With Ma Chao's order, many armored soldiers were like tigers out of their cages, drawing their swords and killing Han Sui and his many generals!

Before entering the banquet, Han Sui and others' weapons and armor were replaced. They were unarmed and could not be the opponents of this group of fierce soldiers.

For a while, killing and blood splattered everywhere!

"Ma Chao! You are despicable and shameless!"

"I will kill you!"

Yan Xing dodged a sharp blade that was slashing at his head, then kicked away the armored soldier who rushed up, looking at Ma Chao with red eyes.

He directly raised the table and rushed over!

But the next moment, he was beheaded by another armored soldier from behind, his body fell down weakly, and his head rolled to Han Sui's side.

Looking at Yan Xing's angry expression, Han Sui felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him unable to suppress the fear in his heart.

Ma Chao really wanted to kill them!

"Mengqi, let me go, I will follow you in everything from now on... No! I will hand over all my troops to you!"

"From now on, the Xiliang army will be under your control!"

Han Sui saw that all his subordinates were slaughtered, and finally couldn't help but give in, and began to try to communicate with Ma Chao.

He knew that Ma Chao must not kill him for the simple purpose of revenge, but also for the military power in his hands, just like he wanted to kill Ma Chao to seize power before.

"Leave the army to me?"

Ma Chao seemed to have heard a joke, shook his head, took a knife from the armored soldier beside him, stood up and walked towards Han Sui, with a sneer on his face.

"I think you are really old and confused."

"If I kill you, the army under your command will also be mine. Why should I keep you, a scourge?"

Hearing this, Han Sui could not help but get angry and cursed: "Ma Chao! I serve the emperor. I am a marquis personally appointed by the emperor, and I am also an official appointed by the court!"

"If you kill me, it is equivalent to treason. Your father and others will also be executed! Do you really not care about their lives?"

Han Sui could not figure out why Ma Chao dared to take action. The biggest reason he dared to come to the banquet was because Ma Teng, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were all hostages in Yecheng.

He didn't believe that Ma Chao would ignore their lives!

But Ma Chao didn't say much nonsense. As soon as Han Sui's voice fell, he raised his knife and cut off the head of the "Nine Bends of the Yellow River" who had been famous in Xiliang for many years.

So far, Han Sui and his trusted generals who came with him were all killed!

"Deal with this."

Ma Chao grabbed Han Sui's head, gave his soldiers an order, and then left with Pang De and returned to the barracks.

Tian Feng was waiting in the tent.

Ma Chao walked into the tent, threw Han Sui's head directly on the ground, and said to Tian Feng: "Han Sui has been killed by me."

Tian Feng couldn't help but look at the head. He was surprised at Ma Chao's quick action and decisiveness, and he was also happy.

Because once Han Sui died, Ma Chao could unify the Xiliang army, which was the most critical step in the counterattack against Jizhou!

"Very good!"

Tian Feng took his eyes off Han Sui's head and then told Ma Chao: "Although Han Sui was killed, his death cannot be announced immediately."

"In the next few days, the general should continue to publicize the fact that Han Sui was worshipped as his adoptive father. After a few days of fermentation, the news that Han Sui encountered a large number of Huns who entered the pass and plundered on his way back and died was fabricated and reported back to Han Sui's army."

"Then the general can take a batch of Huns' heads and say that the group of Huns who attacked and killed Han Sui have been killed and avenged Han Sui. At the same time, he will take over the leaderless army as Han Sui's adopted son."

"In this way, the Xiliang Army can be unified smoothly."

Although Han Sui and his confidants all died here, the two armies have been hostile for a long time. Ma Chao suddenly ran over to take over the Xiliang Army, which would definitely cause conflict.

So it is better to establish his status as an adopted son, frame the crime on the Xiongnu and avenge Han Sui, and then take over the Xiliang Army, so as to minimize the resistance of Han Sui's army.

"Sir, you are really thoughtful!"

Ma Chao was impressed by what he said. Tian Feng not only helped him kill Han Sui, but also arranged how he would take over Han Sui's army, and he only needed to act according to Tian Feng's plan.

This is much more efficient than fighting and killing.

After explaining all this, Tian Feng stood up and said, "General, since Han Sui is dead, I will not stay here for long."

"I hope the general can integrate the Xiliang Army as soon as possible, and wait until the beginning of spring next year to jointly attack Jizhou."

The reason why he stayed with Ma Chao was because he promised Ma Chao to kill Han Sui to show his sincerity.

Now that Han Sui was killed, Ma Chao only needed to act according to his strategy and integrate the Xiliang Army. He no longer had to stay.

"Are you leaving now, sir?"

Ma Chao felt particularly reluctant to hear that Tian Feng was leaving.

Although he had only been with Tian Feng for less than a month, he had already deeply realized Tian Feng's talents, so much so that he was now a little bit inseparable from him.

He couldn't help but persuade him to stay, saying: "Sir, your talents are unparalleled in the world. Why don't you stay in the Xiliang Army and be my military advisor?"

"My Xiliang Army has 100,000 cavalrymen, and the wealth of weapons and armor is invincible in the world. Dong Zhuo relied on this to dominate the world back then. Isn't he stronger than the tens of thousands of remnants in Jinyang City? Why do you have to go back, sir?"

"If you are willing to stay, you can choose any position in my army; whether you want gold, silver, treasures, or good fields and concubines, I will satisfy you!"

Ma Chao really wanted to recruit Tian Feng.

In his opinion, if he could get the assistance of a wise counselor like Tian Feng, it would be more useful than getting tens of thousands of troops!

But in the face of such generous conditions given by Ma Chao, Tian Feng still did not agree, but said calmly: "I already have a master."

The tone was full of determination.

Ma Chao heard this and could only say regretfully: "It seems that I am not destined to be with you, please do as you please."

"I'm leaving."

Tian Feng bowed to Ma Chao and left the tent without saying a word, without any nostalgia or reluctance.

Ma Chao had a complicated look on his face, shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, if such a talented person could be used by me, it would be great."

"Yuan Shao is really abominable!"

He didn't have a single decent strategist under his command, but Yuan Shao had a large number of strategists like Tian Feng, but they were all defeated by Yuan Shao.

Comparing people is really annoying.

Pang De watched Tian Feng leave, frowned and said to Ma Chao: "General, although Tian Feng's strategy for you is good, it still has flaws in my opinion."

"Huh? What flaws?"

Ma Chao looked at Pang De in confusion. He felt that Tian Feng's strategy was already perfect, so how could there be any flaws?

Pang De said: "General, blaming the Huns for Han Sui's death may fool his soldiers, but it may not fool the emperor."

"If the emperor is furious and punishes him, Han Sui's army will inevitably mutiniate."

"So I think whether it is to deceive the emperor or to deceive Lu Bu who holds the emperor hostage, a more appropriate reason must be found."

"The reason why Han Sui was killed by the Huns is too far-fetched."

"In my opinion, this is a flaw that Tian Feng left intentionally, in order to cut off the general's retreat. The only way to go is to form an alliance with Bingzhou to fight against the emperor."

Pang De didn't know whether the emperor was held hostage by Lu Bu. He was just considering it from the perspective of Ma Chao's incorporation of Han Sui's army.

The reason why Han Sui was killed by the Huns is hard to fool anyone with a discerning eye, and no one would want to see Ma Chao unify the Xiliang army.

One hundred thousand cavalrymen were blocked outside Bingzhou, which is not bad.

But once they enter Bingzhou, they can gallop across Hebei. Who wouldn't be afraid?

Ma Chao didn't think it was a big deal, but after Pang De said that, he felt that he had to consider this issue.

Because it would take time to recruit Han Sui's army. If Yecheng questioned Han Sui's death at this time, it would definitely cause a big mess in the army.

"Tian Feng is really a great talent..."

Ma Chao couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Pang De spoke again: "General, I have a plan."

"Speak quickly!"

Ma Chao immediately showed joy on his face and urged repeatedly.

Although Pang De's wisdom is not as good as Tian Feng's, it is not bad. At least he is much better than him, and he often makes plans on weekdays.

Pang De's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said, "I think the best way now is to kill Tian Feng and send his head to Yecheng!"

"What?"

Ma Chao's expression suddenly changed, and he said in surprise, "Ling Ming, are you crazy? I have joined forces with Tian Feng and will attack Jizhou together after the spring. How can I kill him?"

"And what is the connection between killing Tian Feng and Han Sui's death? Can I tell Yecheng that it was Tian Feng who designed to kill Han Sui?"

"General, listen to me." Pang De was not in a hurry, and patiently analyzed to Ma Chao: "In fact, the general has been wrong all along. The most important thing now is not to attack Jizhou, but It is to unify the Xiliang Army! "

"As long as the Xiliang Army completes the unification, whether or not there is the help of the tens of thousands of Yuan Shao remnants, Lu Bu's army will not be the general's opponent. "

"Therefore, for Yecheng, the general can say that Tian Feng heard that the general wanted to reconcile with Han Sui, so he took the opportunity to come and persuade the general and Han Sui to rebel. "

"Han Sui was tempted to agree to Tian Feng, and the general killed the two in anger. "

"In this way, we can find a reason to kill Han Sui, and we can show loyalty to dispel suspicion and buy time for the unification of the Xiliang Army. Isn't it a best of both worlds? "

Pang De expressed his thoughts.

The current enemy is Tian Feng and the remnants of Yuan Shao. Regardless of whether Lu Bu held the emperor hostage, it is an undeniable fact that Yuan Shao held the emperor hostage.

The remnants of Yuan Shao are the common enemies of Lu Bu and the emperor. Killing Tian Feng, Yuan Shao's confidant and adviser, to show loyalty is undoubtedly the best choice.

After hearing Pang De's plan, Ma Chao frowned and pondered. After a long time, he said quietly: "Go prepare a fast horse for me. I want to see you off in person."

"Yes!"

Pang De understood what he meant, clasped his fists and accepted the order, then turned and walked out of the tent.

...

After leaving the Liangzhou Army camp, Tian Feng rode back to Bingzhou alone, while thinking about how to join forces with Ma Chao to attack Jizhou after the spring.

But at this time, he heard a sound of horse hooves behind him, so he turned his head and saw Ma Chao leading dozens of cavalrymen to catch up.

Seeing this scene, Tian Feng frowned and said to Ma Chao: "General, please go back. I will not stay in the Liangzhou Army. There is no point in forcing me to stay."

He thought Ma Chao regretted letting him go, so he brought people to chase him back.

"Sir, you misunderstood."

Ma Chao shook his head and smiled at Tian Feng: "I know that your husband is very loyal to Yuan Shao and that fame and wealth cannot change his mind. I am not here to try to persuade you to stay."

When Tian Feng heard this, he felt confused. If he wasn't here to save him, then why was he chasing after him?

He was about to ask a question when he saw a group of cavalry following Ma Chao begin to gather towards him and surround him.

"General what do you mean?"

Tian Feng felt bad when he saw this, his eyes became cold, and he stared at Ma Chao coldly.

Ma Chao took out his sword from his waist and said calmly: "It is not appropriate to frame Han Sui's death on the Xiongnu after all. It is difficult to hide it from Your Majesty."

"Since you have already helped me to this extent, why don't you help me one last time and let me borrow your head to appease Your Majesty!"

Tian Feng's expression suddenly changed.

With his resourcefulness, how could he not understand what Ma Chao was planning? This guy wanted to use his life to dispel the emperor's suspicion!

"Shameless!" Tian Feng was furious and cursed through gritted teeth, "I helped you kill Han Sui and unify the Xiliang army, how could you cross the river and burn down the bridge!"

After a period of contact, he had already understood Ma Chao's villainous character, but he never expected that Ma Chao would be so shameless!

Ma Chao ignored Tian Feng's abuse and just threw the sword in front of him and said, "For the sake of helping me eliminate Han Sui, sir, please commit suicide."

He actually didn't want to kill Tian Feng, but Pang De was right. The most important thing for him right now was to unify the Xiliang army.

As long as he buys enough time for him to annex Han Sui's army, it doesn't matter whether he has tens of thousands of troops from senior officials to help him.

So in order to buy time, he could only ask Tian Feng to die.

What a pity for such a talented person.

Tian Feng knew that he was bound to die today. He looked at the sword on the ground with endless anger, endless unwillingness, and endless resentment in his heart.

But in the end it turned into a heart full of desolation.

He tried hard to reverse the situation and avenge his lord, but all of this was in vain because he mistrusted a villain.

Tian Feng reached out to pick up the sword on the ground, and knelt down heavily facing the direction of Jizhou, with tears streaming down his face.

"Lord, I tried my best."

After saying these last words, Tian Feng slashed his neck with a sword, and his vitality spurted out with hot blood, turning into bright red all over the ground.

This Yuan Shao's only remaining and hardest-boned counselor has finally reached the end of his life today.

Life and death are so big, life and death are so small.

Ma Chao stared at Tian Feng's body for a long time, and finally said: "Cut off his head and send it to Yecheng to present to the emperor. Immediately order someone to carve the head out of sandalwood and bury it together with the body."
