It was Ma Chao and Pang De who came. It turned out that Xu Shu had used a trick to kill Song Jian, and took advantage of the situation to attack Ma Wan by surprise. He was chasing the remaining soldiers and went to Angu to join Liu Qi.
Halfway through the chase, they suddenly saw many Xiliang troops on the bank. They were startled and suspicious, thinking that there was an ambush. Just as they were about to stop, they saw a man climbing up from the river bank, mounted his horse and left.
"Han Sui?" Ma Chao was surprised, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Ling Ming, do you think he is the old thief?"
Pang De frowned and looked around warily: "It is indeed Han Sui, the old thief. What is he doing here?"
Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what he does, I will just kill this old thief."
"Da Lang, be careful!" Pang De became more and more suspicious when he saw the Xiliang army was in chaos.
They thought Han Sui was trying to lure the enemy, but Ma Chao had already chased him and couldn't stop shouting, so he had to lead his troops to follow.
The Xiliang army was already demoralized after the defeat. Seeing Ma Chao's sudden attack, they suddenly panicked.
Han Sui said nothing, ran to the bank, mounted his horse and left. The other soldiers also rushed to grab the horses, and there was a chaos on the river bank.
"Han Sui, please leave!" Ma Chao chased after him on horseback, his spear trembling violently, and the enemy troops in front of him fell like straw.
Pound followed closely behind and rushed into the chaos. Only when he got closer did he realize that these soldiers were disheveled and some were stained with blood. They looked like defeated soldiers who had been fighting, and they became increasingly vigilant.
While he was observing, Ma Chao had already caught up with Han Sui and shouted: "The old thief is here to take your life!"
When Han Sui heard the shouting behind him, he was frightened out of his wits. He turned around and saw Ma Chao chasing after him. He hurriedly shouted: "My good nephew has something to say. It's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding!"
Ma Chao snorted coldly. He was constantly blocked by the rebel army. In anger, he took out the meteor hammer and hit three of them at the same time.
Hearing just one sound, Han Sui hit the target and knocked him off his horse. The deserters around him scattered to avoid him. He rolled several times on the ground and fell until his eyes were filled with stars.
Seeing this situation, Pang De was sure that the Xiliang army had been defeated before. Even if he lured the enemy, Han Sui would not gamble with his own life. He roared and galloped to chase Cheng Gongying.
Ma Chao urged his horse forward, pointed his gun at Han Sui, and shouted: "The old thief colluded with the Cao thief and harmed a certain family, what else can I say?"
Han Sui sat on the ground and kept retreating, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and explained: "It's all Cao's thieves who are forcing me to do it. I have no choice. For the sake of my sworn relationship with your father, please spare my life!"
Ma Chao looked up to the sky and laughed: "That's good. I must have been thinking about our sworn relationship when my father was killed."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Han Sui nodded repeatedly: "My good nephew does not remember the faults of others. I am willing to retire and leave Jincheng, Hexi... no, the entire Xiliang to you."
Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, you go and apologize to my father. Whether he can forgive you or not depends entirely on him."
"Yes, Shoucheng is heroic by nature...ah?"
Han Sui was secretly delighted when he suddenly realized something was wrong. When he looked up, Ma Chao had stabbed him with a spear, right in the center, and he fell to the ground with a miserable howl.
Ma Chao raised his head to the sky and roared, urging his horse to chase and kill the fleeing Xiliang army. He killed the defeated army along the river and fled in all directions. He abandoned his horse and hid in the mountains and forests to escape, leaving only the ownerless horses wandering and neighing.
Pang De returned with Cheng Gongying's head and said: "Looking at this situation, Liu Qi must have defeated Han Sui and captured An Gu. Do you want to see him?"
Ma Chao took a deep breath and said with emotion: "If it weren't for Liu Qi's great help, you and I would have been buried in Wuquan Mountain long ago. There is no way to repay the life-saving grace. If you want to take revenge, you still need to rely on him. My father's lifelong ambition is to prosper the Han Dynasty, and I am willing to help him achieve it. great cause!"
Pang De was overjoyed and said: "This is exactly what I mean, so I went to see Liu Qi first."
Ma Chao sent someone to report the news to Xu Shu, and he and Pang De rushed to Angu with ten guards. The other soldiers gathered their horses and came to join them.
…
On the bank of the Tao River, the Han army was withdrawing its troops and moving supplies into Angu. Only the Chinese army's tent had not been moved.
Liu Qi, Zhang Fei and others were all in the tent, standing in a circle around Song Long who was lying on the ground bleeding from all his orifices and dying, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Ji Miao fed the last pack of medicine he had found and waited for a long time, but saw Song Long rolling his eyes, kicking his legs, and making no more movement.
"I'm out of breath!" Ji Miao tested his breath and pulse, shook his head and sighed.
"You deserve a good death!" Zhang Fei kicked Song Long and cursed: "You didn't learn well at a young age, you did all kinds of crooked ways, and you tasted all the medicine on your body before you died. This is retribution."
Liu Qi signaled his soldiers to carry the body out and throw it into the horse trap. He frowned and said, "Although Song Long deserves his punishment, third uncle, you..."
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter!" Zhang Fei waved his arms and laughed: "I am worried that I can't meditate, and now I can't do anything even if I want to, I just want to take a rest."
Everyone smiled and comforted him, but they all secretly regretted it. They all knew that Zhang Fei was aggressive and impatient. He suddenly lost his strength and could not lead his troops to kill the enemy. They must be extremely disappointed in their hearts.
When the men of Zhengming were dismantling their tents and preparing to set off, they saw two horses galloping towards them. When they got close, they dismounted and clasped their fists, saying, "Ma Chao pays homage to General Liu!"
"Meng Qi?" Liu Qi was overjoyed. He hurried forward to help Ma Chao up and exclaimed: "What a Xiliang Jin Ma Chao."
I saw that Ma Chao was eight feet long, with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, a face like a crown of jade, and eyebrows like blades. Although he had gone through a fight, he still looked heroic, especially his pair of black eyes, which were full of an unruly spirit.
Ma Chao has Qiang blood and a typical Qin appearance, which is exactly the opposite of Zhao Yun's calm and resolute appearance. He is as aggressive as an unsheathed sword.
Seeing that the person behind him was not Xu Shu, he asked, "Where is Xu Yuanzhi?"
Ma Chao was also looking at Liu Qi. Seeing that he had an elegant temperament and an indescribable nobility, he became more and more heartbroken. He cupped his fists and said, "The military advisor is at Baihu Ridge and has sent someone to report the news."
Liu Qi asked: "I heard that Han Sui asked Song Jian to send troops to help. How can I escape from danger?"
Ma Chao sighed: "It was all thanks to the clever plan of Military Master Xu. He asked Agui to show weakness to Song Jian and repeated Han Sui's plan. He held a Hongmen Banquet and was killed by someone during the banquet. He also took advantage of the opportunity to break through Mawan's camp and came to help the battle. Unexpectedly, the general had already arrived. After Han Sui was defeated, he was bumped into by a certain person on his way back, and he was beheaded to avenge his shame."
"Treat him with his own medicine, Xu Yuanzhi really had a brilliant plan!" When Liu Qi heard that Song Jian and Han Sui were dead, he knew that the overall situation in Xiliang had been decided, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the general behind Ma Chao was tall and rough-looking, he asked, "Could this be my younger brother Ma Dai?"
Ma Chao introduced: "This is the last general's personal guard Pang De, whose name is Mingming!"
"The villain Pound pays homage to General Liu!" Pound stepped forward to pay homage.
Speaking of Pound, Liu Qi had mixed feelings in his mind. The most famous scene was the Battle of Xiangfan, carrying the coffin and fighting Guan Yu.
It is regrettable that such a tiger general ended up in Cao Ying by mistake and became the last straw for Guan Yu.
Although he was captured by Guan Yu, he died generously and was still a loyal man.
However, Lao Tzu's heroic son Gou Xiong, whose son Pang Hui wanted to avenge his father, actually killed Guan Yu's descendants at a later stage.
A villain succeeds in his ambition and avenges his private revenge, which is a disgrace to his father's great reputation!
