Chapter 240 Are you looking for an appointment in Korean?
"Meng Qi, three days! I only give you three days. If you can catch Han Sui within three days, you can kill him. If you can't catch him within three days, then you must return to the army in time. Can you agree?"
"
Looking at Ma Chao's expression, Ying Zige had no intention of obstructing him. What's more, Ma Chao's growth and control of his emotions now satisfy Ying Zige.
Of course, there are restrictions on him that cannot be removed.
After all, there are other important things to do next, whether it is conquering the large area of ownerless forces left by Han Sui after his escape, or the situation on the Qiang side, especially on the side of Xicheng. Wang Jianke also led the army to confront Xiliang.
, all these important things require manpower, how could Ying Zige let Ma Chao waste ten days and a half a month chasing down a Han Sui?
"Don't worry, what Gu said still stands true. Old thief Han is very tough, and he has not been able to take his life in successive decisive battles. But it is different now. Old thief Han's hometown Jincheng has been lost, and the army has collapsed.
.
Now there is only one general left, Zhang Heng. Even if he fled to Dunhuang and Jiuquan, our next goal is to conquer there, so I can continue to let you lead the army there!"
Looking at Ma Chao who was struggling after hearing his request, Ying Zige knew that Ma Chao was worried that three days would not be enough, but he did not want to disobey his order, so he smiled, changed his voice, and continued.
"Thank you, my lord, I will be able to do it in the end!" Ma Chao no longer had any worries in his heart and said solemnly with a fist to Ying Zige.
————————————————————————————
After killing Han Sui, Meng Tian and Jia Xu led the army slowly toward the Weishui River, but they were preparing to join Ying Zige.
Just after crossing the Wei River, Meng Tian noticed the flying dust in front of him. He looked closely and saw that it was Ma Chao who came to chase Han Sui along the official road to Lingju after asking for his life from Ying Zige. Meng Tian immediately stepped forward.
He stopped and asked loudly, "Is General Ma here to hunt down Han Wenyue?"
"General Meng, why are you here!" Ma Chao also saw the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in front of him, and was shocked. Just when he was about to give the order to meet the enemy, he saw the banner with the word "Mongolian" and the horses.
Meng Tian rushed out to ask questions.
Although he was confused about why Meng Tian appeared here, after hearing Meng Tian's question, he had a guess in his heart and asked loudly, "Did General Meng capture the old thief Han?"
"Not bad!" Meng Tian laughed and waved for someone to take out the box containing Han Sui's head. He rode his horse to Ma Chao and handed it over. "After taking Jincheng, a certain person was preparing to come to support the lord, but he happened to catch someone on the way.
Arriving at Han Sui, the old thief
After questioning, the sentinel knew that the master had defeated Old Thief Han, and at the same time, the remaining soldiers of Old Thief Han had fled not far from us, preparing to go to Lingju, so they rushed up without hesitation, and the result was that
Kill this thief!"
"Actually, I originally wanted to capture him alive and send him to General Ma to avenge myself. However, when the thief saw that his life was determined, he drew his sword and killed himself. Therefore, I had no choice but to order someone to chop off the thief's head!"
"Meng Qi thanks General Meng! I will keep this kindness in my heart!" Ma Chao took the box and looked at Han Sui's head, which was covered in blood and stained with blood. His expression was incomprehensible, and his eyes filled with hatred suddenly flickered.
At this time, he himself couldn't figure out what he was feeling in his heart. He paused for a long time, then looked at Meng Tian, solemnly dismounted and bowed in thanks.
"General Ma's words are serious. Let's not mention that this thief has repeatedly provoked wars with the intention of destroying us. Let's talk about the matter of Duke Shoucheng. My lord also often mentions it. Given this opportunity, I will naturally not sit back and let him escape from his hands!" Meng Tian said to
Ma Chao cupped his fists and said.
"Two generals, since Han Sui has been captured, let's go back to the camp first! I think my lord will be very happy if he knows this good news!" It was Pang De who still spoke. After Ma Chao asked for orders, Ying Zige was afraid.
In the end, he couldn't control himself and let Pang De follow him. Firstly, Ma Chao trusted Pound and would not be monitored, but Ying Zige didn't feel like he trusted him. Secondly, Ma Chao could listen to Pound's words.
"Okay, let's go back together!" The two looked at each other, commanded the army to merge together, and rushed towards Ying Zige's camp.
On the other side, Ying Zige looked at the direction Ma Chao was leaving, smiled faintly, and then organized the army with Guo Jia to pack up the remaining supplies in the camp. When Guo Jia used his secret technique, Han Sui's army had just left.
The camp gate was not penetrated deeply, so the wind and fire seemed shocking, but in fact they only burned down the first half of the camp. There was not much damage to the material tents from the Chinese army camp onwards.
"Feng Xiao, do you think Meng Qi can catch up with Han Wen Yue?" After arranging everyone in the central camp, Ying Zige did not return to his camp, but instead sneaked into Guo Jia's camp again, lazily
He lay lazily on the couch and asked.
"My lord already has the answer in his heart, so why bother asking Jia!" Guo Jia was lying aside lazily, taking his beloved wine gourd and pouring wine into his mouth, while dealing with his lord casually.
Looking at Guo Jia's lazy look, Ying Zige smiled faintly, suddenly reached out his hand and snatched the wine gourd from Guo Jia's hand, and took two sips, "Although I already have the answer in my heart, I still want to hear it.
Fengxiao’s wonderful inference!”
"Lord, slow down!" Guo Jia helplessly looked at the wine that Ying Zi Gehe poured into his mouth like water, and snatched it back with distress, "Jia is just mentally exhausted, but my lord's body is still traumatized.
, it’s better not to drink!”
"He can't catch up! According to Han Wenyue's ability, unless he is stopped by someone in the middle, he must have almost reached the boundary of Lingju at this time!" After snatching the wine gourd back, Guo Jia was still staring at it.
Ying Zige, who was drunk on his own, quickly took a sip in his mouth and put it away, saying, "Meng Qi led the army and wasted too much time at Han Sui's camp, otherwise there would be a chance!"
"Meng Qi's hatred for Han Sui is always a double-edged sword! Although it can quickly promote his growth, the damage to him, especially the mental pressure, cannot be underestimated!"
Ying Zige nodded, stretched out his hand to touch his growing beard, thinking about the pros and cons in his mind. After pondering for a long time, he raised his head and looked at Guo Jia and said, "Feng Xiao, Han Sui can no longer stay. Now he treats Meng Qi."
The disadvantages have outweighed the advantages.
It’s not worth it to hurt Gu’s general just for the surprise he might bring in Dunhuang or Jiuquan!”
"Um!"
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Jiahui informed Heibingtai and Luowang that if Han Sui reaches Lingju alive, they will find a way to deal with it!"
