Han Sui led a thousand people and did not leave in a hurry after burning Ma Chao's camp.
Instead, he asked his soldiers to wear the clothes of Liangzhou soldiers.
Disguised as Liangzhou soldiers, they are waiting outside this camp.
Han Sui just tried his luck. Based on his understanding of Ma Chao's strength, he felt that if Ma Chao wanted to run away, there was still a high chance that he could escape.
Unexpectedly, he was really made to wait.
"Nephew, are you surprised to see your uncle?" Han Sui laughed and said.
In the past few days, Ma Chao called for formation in front of the city gate, but he also scolded him.
As Ma Chao's uncle, Han Sui also had a lot of anger accumulated in his heart.
Even if he surrenders to Wang Ding now, he was still Ma Chao's uncle before. Watching Ma Chao grow up, can't this kid save some face for him?
When Ma Chao saw Han Sui, he stopped struggling and said, "Uncle, uncle, let them loosen the rope quickly."
At this time, Ma Chao recognized Han Sui as his uncle again.
Han Sui shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not possible. My uncle knows your martial arts skills well. Once the rope is loosened, my uncle and the others are not enough for you to kill alone."
Ma Chao shouted: "Uncle, you have watched me grow up. No matter who Meng Qi wants to kill, it is impossible to kill my uncle."
At this time, Ma Chao's mind doesn't look too stupid.
He went on to say: "The king is not here now. Uncle Hebu returned to Xiliang with Meng Qi. Why should he serve for the king?"
"Father misses uncle very much. Doesn't uncle miss sister Juaner?"
The sister Juaner mentioned by Ma Chao is Han Sui's youngest daughter, named Han Juan.
Han Sui was a little silent.
He surrendered to Wang Ding, but his family was still in Liangzhou.
To say that I don’t miss you is definitely a lie.
If it had been a month ago, Han Sui might have been persuaded by Ma Chao and returned to Liangzhou with Ma Chao.
With his foundation in Liangzhou, after returning, with Ma Teng's help, he can still gain a foothold, and there will be a chance for him to make a comeback in the future.
However, even if he returns to Liangzhou, he can make a comeback. What's the use?
Han Sui didn't think he could defeat Wang Ding in one visit.
Don't say it once, even if he was given ten chances, Han Sui felt that his chances were slim.
As long as Wang Ding is still in Guanzhong, they will have no choice but to hide in Liangzhou. Moreover, they probably won't be able to stay in the counties such as Anding and Beiping that are close to Guanzhong. They will have to go to Wuwei County or even Jiuquan, which is further away.
After only fighting against Wang Ding once, Han Sui no longer had the will to become an enemy of Wang Ding again.
Do you want to be trapped in Liangzhou for the rest of your life?
Han Sui didn't want to either.
Now that the world is in chaos, who doesn’t want to compete in the Central Plains?
Originally, he and Ma Teng also wanted to imitate Qin Shihuang and Han Gaozu, but now Han Sui thinks that Wang Ding is more like the Qin Emperor.
Han Sui shook his head and said: "My dear nephew, my uncle will not harm you. You should follow my uncle to see the right general."
Ma Chao immediately turned his face and cursed: "Han Sui, you are ashamed to be a native of Liangzhou, and your children will be humiliated for the rest of their lives because of you."
Han Sui said: "Stop his mouth."
It is true that he would not harm Ma Chao, but he also did not want to listen to Ma Chao's curses.
If he didn't block his mouth, Ma Chao would probably scold him all the way from here to Chencang.
Han Sui tidied up and returned with Ma Chao.
In Baoji Mountain, I met Wang Ding and Xu Huang who were still cleaning up the battlefield.
Wang Ding was happy, looked at Ma Chao and said with a smile: "Meng Qi, this means that the sky net is not leaking out. If you are destined to be like this, you will not be able to escape."
Ma Chao had a cold face and turned his head away from Wang Ding.
If his mouth hadn't been blocked, he would have sprayed Wang Ding until his head was bloody.
Wang Ding did not untie Ma Chao. This proud young man was not willing to surrender after being captured alive. Otherwise, Han Sui would not have to tie him up and gagged him.
Xu Huang came to Wang Ding without looking at Ma Chao. He reported: "Lord, the count has been completed. There are 381 people killed in our army, 215 seriously injured, and 21 seriously injured."
Two thousand one hundred people."
Compared to Wang Ding's previous pursuit of deserters, Xu Huang's ambush battle here was even more brutal.
After all, these cavalrymen were cut off from their escape and had no choice but to fight tooth and nail if they wanted to survive.
Wang Dingdao: "For those who died in the war, the pension should not be less. For those who were seriously injured, we will send them back to Chang'an when their injuries are stable."
Those with minor injuries can regain their fighting strength and continue fighting after recuperating.
"Those who are slightly injured will be recorded as third-class meritorious service, and the remaining officers and soldiers will be recorded as meritorious service according to the number of enemies killed."
Xu Huang said: "Here."
Some were escorting prisoners, others were leading war horses, and tens of thousands of people marched along the original road back to Chencang.
Fan Chou asked for the task of watching Ma Chao, and walked beside Ma Chao along the way, constantly chanting: "You are not very powerful, how come you were captured alive?"
"If the lord of a certain family says he wants to capture you alive, he will definitely capture you alive."
"You just talk about being awesome, but the lord of a certain family is really awesome."
……
Ma Chao wished he could plug his ears or tear Fan Chou's mouth to pieces.
Why are there such annoying people?
But his mouth was blocked, and he couldn't even refute Fan Chou.
After being tortured by Fan Chou all the way, after entering the city gate of Chencang, Fan Chou was called by Wang Ding first, and then Ma Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had just been fished out of the water and was breathing desperately.
Back in the city, the number of prisoners was also counted.
A total of 11,000 prisoners were captured, 3,500 Liangzhou soldiers died in the battle, and more than 5,000 others fled to Longshan, unable to pursue them.
"Sir, what should we do with Ma Chao?" Wang Ding asked.
With Ma Chao's current appearance, Wang Ding feels that the possibility of the opponent being willing to surrender is very low.
Ma Chao's current arrogant appearance gave Wang Ding the impression that he was one of those unscrupulous young men who take life and death lightly and do whatever they don't accept. At worst, eighteen years later, he will be a good man again.
Jia Xu said: "Ma Chao is young and frivolous. He must be dissatisfied with this trick to capture him alive. However, he is also a little clever. If the lord asks him later if he is willing to surrender, he will definitely say yes and then look for opportunities to escape.
."
"If my lord truly loves his talent, let him go home today and look for opportunities to conquer him in the future. If he feels that this boy will become a serious trouble in the future, he will be killed now to eliminate future troubles."
Wang Ding nodded and said: "Fan Chou, go and bring Ma Chao up."
"Here." Fan Chou happily accepted the order, walked happily, and soon brought Ma Chao.
Wang Ding walked up to Ma Chao, personally removed the rag from Ma Chao's mouth, and said, "Meng Qi, are you willing to surrender?"
Ma Chao glared at Wang Ding and moved his teeth. His mouth had been blocked for a long time. Now that the rag was removed, his teeth were very sore.
Wang Ding said: "Meng Qi, surrender or die, what do you choose?"
Ma Chao was startled. He wanted to negotiate some terms with Wang Ding. He could surrender, but he had to give himself a general position no matter what, and it could not be lower than Han Sui.
I didn’t expect Wang Ding to be so direct. He himself had sore teeth, so why wouldn’t he open his mouth if he moved around?
