The game starts with Cao Cao as the main character, and the beauty sheds countless tears.

Chapter 451 Han Sui and Ma Chao's love-hate relationship, Yan Xing: My rise as a son-in-law!

next morning

Han Sui summoned Yan Xing into his tent, narrowed his eyes, and asked him:

"Yan Xing, where did you go last night?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xing's expression remained unchanged. He cupped his hands in greeting and said:

“Ma Chao came to me last night, intending to harm you, Father-in-law, and trying to win me over to work with him.”

Upon hearing Yan Xing's words, Han Sui nodded noncommittally.

Ma Chao has no bottom line or limits, so it's not surprising that he does anything.

Moreover, Han Sui and Lü Bu didn't even give Ma Chao a sip of the soup when they divided up the military power of the minor warlords in Liangzhou.

It would be strange if Ma Chao wasn't angry!

Han Sui had always been wary of his son-in-law, Yan Xing.

Last night, his trusted subordinates reported to him that Yan Xing and Ma Chao met late at night.

However, due to the distance, it was impossible to hear exactly what the two were saying.

There's nothing we can do about it, given the martial arts skills of Ma Chao and Yan Xing.

If Han Sui's confidants tried to get close to eavesdrop, they would be discovered and dealt with by the two men.

At this moment, Han Sui was fairly satisfied with Yan Xing's reaction.

But the wariness in my heart was not dispelled.

He beckoned Yan Xing to come closer to him.

Yan Xing was very obedient and immediately did as instructed.

There was a "pop" sound!

Han Sui left a huge handprint on Yan Xing's face.

Although Han Sui was old.

But to rise to become a powerful figure in a place like Liangzhou, where demons and monsters gather, one must naturally possess considerable martial prowess.

Despite the burning pain on his face, Yan Xing knelt down, his forehead pressed tightly against the ground, and begged Han Sui for forgiveness.

"Remember your identity, and everything you have, was given to you by me, Han Sui!"

"Without me, you are nothing!"

"Here!"

Yan Xing adopted a very humble posture, as if he were a pet dog kept by Han Sui.

But what Han Sui didn't know was...

Even pet dogs will bite when pushed to the limit.

Moreover, Yan Xing is no ordinary pet dog, but a vicious dog that killed its master!

After beating Yan Xing, perhaps Han Sui felt that it was inappropriate to keep pressuring Yan Xing, or perhaps he wanted to give Yan Xing a good beating and then offer him some sweet treats.

Han Sui then spoke to Yan Xing with a pleasant expression:

“Zhongming (Yan Xing’s courtesy name is Zhongming), I didn’t mean to attack you just now, I was just a little anxious.”

"Alright then, I'll entrust you with the management of the two thousand newly acquired soldiers."

"You must train them well, lest you disappoint this old man."

"Father-in-law, you are overthinking it. I know you hit me for my own good."

"Without your guidance, I would not be where I am today, so how could I blame my father-in-law?"

Yan Xing hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Han Sui, but in his heart he secretly cursed Han Sui for being shameless.

Han Sui and Lü Bu joined forces to eliminate the group of minor warlords in Liangzhou, and Han Sui gained control of at least tens of thousands of troops.

Of the tens of thousands, only two thousand were given to him, and he was made to manage them. This shows how stingy Han Sui was.

And that's exactly how Han Sui usually behaves.

On the surface, he seemed to rely heavily on Yan Xing.

But behind the scenes, he kept a tight grip on military power.

In the army, all those who held the rank of battalion commander, or above, were Han Sui's confidants.

This is also a major reason why Yan Xing has been unable to find an opportunity to take action against Han Sui.

Even if he were to kill Han Sui with his martial arts skills, he would still be killed by Han Sui's confidants once his deeds were exposed.

but now.

With Ma Chao, this hungry wolf, Yan Xing saw hope in eliminating Han Sui!

……

at dusk

Han Sui reached an agreement with Lü Bu and Chen Gong to withdraw his troops from Lantian three days later.

Therefore, we need to build as many warships as possible in these three days.

In the Chencang direction, after Xiahou Yuan defeated Ma Chao's 30,000 mixed cavalry, he had already led his troops to block them.

In order to avoid being attacked from both sides by Cao Cao's army, Chen Gong suggested that the route back to Liangzhou should still be by the Wei River.

Furthermore, instead of landing in the Chencang direction, they went further towards Jieting.

But so many coalition soldiers are here.

Even if we work hard to build warships these days, many soldiers will inevitably be abandoned.

These people, under the guise of being left behind to cover the rear.

The rearguard was naturally composed of Ma Chao's troops, as well as a few minor warlords from Liangzhou who had survived by chance and for whom no evidence of collusion with Cao Cao had been found.

Han Sui and Lü Bu, on the other hand, planned to happily return to Liangzhou to annex territory and further expand their own power.

War, at times, really is a shortcut to wealth.

In particular, internal strife is the fastest way to seize more power.

After the troublesome Ma Chao and the minor warlords of Liangzhou were gone.

Their combined strength has only increased since they formed the alliance!

But when Han Sui returned to his camp...

Suddenly, his personal guards reported to him that Ma Dai had arrived and was inviting Han Sui to a banquet at the Ma family army camp on behalf of Ma Chao.

"Heh, is Ma Chao trying to kill me?"

"How ridiculous! How could I possibly fall for such a simple trick?"

Han Sui smiled dismissively.

Ma Chao underestimated him.

He's not like that idiot Ma Teng, who was secretly sidelined by Ma Chao without even realizing it!

Speaking of Ma Teng, after being exiled by Ma Chao, he actually followed Han Sui in this coalition, but was temporarily sidelined by Han Sui.

"Go and tell Ma Dai that I am feeling unwell and will not be attending the banquet today."

"I will definitely invite Meng Qilai to a banquet here another day."

Han Sui said to his personal guards with a smile.

The guards turned and left, declining Ma Dai's invitation.

Soon.

The guards turned back again and said to Han Sui:

"General Ma Chao has come personally to invite you to a banquet."

Han Sui frowned slightly and angrily cursed:

"Is this kid haunting us?

"I already said I'm not feeling well and will not attend the banquet."

"Why did he have to come in person?"

The words fell.

A sudden commotion arose outside the camp.

Han Sui was furious, thinking that Ma Chao must have been stirring up trouble.

Upon arriving at the camp gate, they found Ma Chao attempting to break into the camp and beating several guards.

Han Sui could no longer contain himself and pointed in the direction of Ma Chao, cursing loudly:

"Ma Chao! What are you doing?"

"You come to my camp and attack my men. Do you think I wouldn't dare to take you down?"

After saying this, Han Sui ordered the soldiers beside him to surround Ma Chao.

Ma Chao knocked the nearest guard to the ground with a single punch, then looked at Han Sui with a forced smile:

"Isn't Uncle unwell?"

"But when Uncle scolded his nephew just now, his voice was full of energy, and I didn't hear anything wrong with it."

Han Sui was so angry he laughed.

You're just a bunch of reckless brutes who came here to provoke me, and now you're trying to put me in the right?

If it weren't for the hope that Ma Chao would be the last man standing in the rear when the army retreated three days later, and thus become the scapegoat.

Han Sui now wished he could stab Ma Chao to death.

But as it turns out, those who are favored become fearless.

Oh no, it's because of his own value that Ma Chao can act recklessly.

Even if Han Sui was furious, he wouldn't actually order his soldiers to kill him.

Because Han Sui was just too greedy!

He was reluctant to part with Ma Chao because he valued Ma Chao's role in covering the rear.

Ma Chao seized upon this point, making Han Sui both angry and unable to vent his anger.

at this time.

Ma Chao suddenly said to Han Sui with a meaningful look:

"Uncle, do you think I could kill you instantly from a hundred paces away?"

Han Sui suddenly had a sudden realization.

"What do you mean?"
