Xiliang, Jincheng.

Han Sui had already returned to his home base with his army.

As the site where Han Sui made his fortune, Jincheng was built like an iron barrel. There was no need for Han Sui to prepare too many additional things.

Moreover, protecting Jincheng does not require much mobilization by Han Sui. In his words, most of his subordinates are the children of Jincheng. Letting the children of Jincheng protect Jincheng means letting them protect their home.

How can we not use all our strength to protect our homeland?

What he is more interested in now is why the leader of the imperial court this time is Ma Chao.

However, although he couldn't figure it out, he felt that it didn't matter. Even if Ma Chao and he fell, Ma Teng couldn't beat him, let alone Ma Chao?

Ma Chao is brave, but in terms of resourcefulness, there is a big difference.

"My lord! The general requested to be the vanguard to test the opponent's strength!" Just as Han Sui was sitting in his seat thinking about how to deal with Ma Chao and his party, Liang Xing below took the initiative to say.

When Han Sui heard what Liang Xing said, he didn't immediately agree, but he didn't reject it directly either. He just looked at Liang Xing and thought about what Liang Xing meant.

In fact, Liang Xing's life was very unhappy during this period.

Since the last time, he pursued Pound with superior force, but was defeated by Pound on the edge of the Great Wall. As a result, he was the only one to escape back, and all the other soldiers died in the battle.

From then on, Han Sui no longer trusted him.

If it weren't for the fact that Liang Xing had followed him for many years, Han Sui would have had Liang Xing withdraw from the camp and behead him in public.

In fact, to be honest, Han Sui was not a benevolent and righteous man. In his opinion, no one could not be sacrificed.

In his eyes, there are only two labels for anyone, one is useful, and the other is useless.

A useful person will give you glory and wealth and show his utmost trust in you, but once he falls out of favor, the consequences will often be disastrous.

It is very difficult to preserve the whole body.

In Han Sui's view, the closer someone is to someone, the more secrets they know, but these secrets are often shady. Living people cannot keep secrets, only dead people can.

When the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook it, Han Sui has done a lot of it.

Therefore, when Liang Xing returned from defeat, he was worried that he would fall out of favor. In that case, as a close confidant of Zeng Jin and Han Sui, the only thing waiting for him would be death.

Even when he first returned to Han Sui, he was already ready to say goodbye to his family.

However, the development of the matter was far from what Liang Xing thought. Han Sui still received Liang Xing very cordially, and encouraged Liang Xing a few words, telling him that there is no undefeated general.

However, Liang Xing, who was familiar with Han Sui's character, knew that the more polite Han Sui was to others, the more dangerous he would be, because it was a sign that Han Sui no longer trusted him.

Therefore, now Liang Xing saw Han Sui lowering his head and thinking deeply, thinking that Han Sui was worried about Ma Chao's arrival. So he wanted to take the initiative to stand up and ask for a fight.

As long as Han Sui is willing to let him go on the battlefield, he will be sure to prove himself and make Han Sui trust him again.

Han Sui looked at Liang Xing who took the initiative to ask for a fight. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He was doubting Liang Xing's motives.

….

To be honest, Han Sui didn't believe that Liang Xing brought thousands of troops to hunt down the remnants of the Ma family, but he was defeated in a few days.

Han Sui also asked about the surrendered soldiers in Guzang City, and the unanimous answer he received was that Ma Dai and the others took away three thousand loyalists.

In other words, the opponent was fully prepared and only had 3,000 people. Some of them needed to cover the evacuation of Ma Teng's family, so the number of people who stayed to stop the pursuers was only 2,000 at most.

You brought 5,000 of our elite cavalry in pursuit. I was afraid that you didn't have enough manpower, so I gave you 3,000 more, for a total of 8,000. You went to chase and kill the 3,000 remaining soldiers. In the end, a single cavalry escaped.

No matter how you look at this matter, it is unreasonable. You also said that you have no contact with the other party and there is no adultery?

Okay, to be honest, you really didn’t have any liaison with the foreign enemy, but you fought with 8,000 soldiers against 3,000 defeated soldiers, but you only came back alone. What else do you want to do with such a waste?

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Liang Xing is no longer worthy of his trust.

However, Liang Xing has been with him for more than ten years at least, and he is also very familiar with other generals.

If Liang Xing had other ideas, he would at least pull over a large group of people. This is something Han Sui absolutely cannot tolerate. Therefore, as long as Liang Xing is not trusted by Han Sui, what will happen to him?

It will definitely be miserable.

But for the same reason, Han Sui felt that he could not act rashly, especially when Ma Chao brought the imperial army to seek revenge, and he could not let these things affect his internal unity.

This is why Han Sui did not capture Liang Xing immediately after learning that Liang Xing was defeated and returned, because he did not know whether Liang Xing had ever thought of betraying him or whether he was secretly wooing others.

If so, who are these people and how many there are? This is what Han Sui wants to find out.

But before he figured it out, Han Sui felt that his best way was to stand still. If there was a chance, he could get rid of Liang Xing with the help of others, that would be the best.

Han Sui was alert. When he heard Liang Xing's invitation to fight, his first thought was to refuse.

But the words of rejection were already on his lips. He suddenly thought that it would not be impossible to let Liang Xing take the initiative to test it out. At least after Liang Xing fell into crisis, he could observe the other generals and see who they were.

Get close to Liang Xing.

When the time comes, get rid of them all together.

The Xiliang Army can only be Han Sui's Xiliang Army. No one else can interfere. Anyone who dares to put his hand on his plate will take Han Sui's hand, no matter who he is.

Cut it off.

"I am very relieved that you have such intention. It would be great to have you take action." Han Sui nodded to Liang Xing, then looked around at all the generals present, and continued to say slowly: "I don't know what else to do.

Who is willing to go with Liang Xing?"

After hearing Han Sui's words, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one took the initiative to speak. They all knew Liang Xing's current situation, and they didn't want to get into this muddy water.

"Father-in-law! My son-in-law is willing to go!" Just when everyone was silent, a loud voice suddenly came from beside Han Sui.

Han Sui looked back in surprise and found that it was his son-in-law Yan Xing.

"Okay..." Han Sui's expression changed several times when he saw this, but in the end he still held back and did not explode.

Then he turned his head, looked at the generals, and said slowly: "The matter of sending out troops will be discussed later. You must retreat first and rectify the soldiers to prepare for war. However, if there is an order, anyone who does not respect it will be killed!"

When everyone heard Han Sui's words, they knew that Han Sui was issuing an order to expel the guests. When they heard what Han Sui said, they also knew that if they stayed any longer, they would be asking for trouble, so they all said goodbye to Han Sui.
