Han Sui shouted, and the atmosphere instantly became tense, as if the two sides were about to fight at any moment.
"General Han, please don't be angry. Let me explain slowly!" Lu Li remained calm and composed.
He took out a silk scroll and handed it to Han Sui, saying, "This is a letter written by Ma Chao. I believe General Han will be very interested in it."
Han Sui glanced at Lu Li suspiciously, but ultimately took the scroll, opened it, and examined it carefully.
A moment later, he looked up in surprise and said, "Meng Qi actually became your disciple?"
Ma Chao was quite prestigious in Xiliang. Even his soldiers held him in high esteem, as Xiliang was a place where the strong were respected.
Moreover, Ma Teng and Han Sui were sworn brothers, but Ma Chao's alliance with the Yellow Turban Army to seize his Xiliang made Han Sui very unhappy.
However, Ma Chao also said in his letter that all of this was to force Han Sui to join the Yellow Turban Army. As long as Han Sui was willing to surrender, Ma Chao would definitely come to apologize to Han Sui in person.
These are not the main issues; Han Sui now has no other way out.
When he learned that Lu Li had come to persuade him to surrender, he had already backed down and only wanted to gain more benefits.
"I can surrender, but since you've already occupied Xiliang, fine. I want Bingzhou!" Han Sui said slowly.
Lu Li nodded in agreement. Bingzhou was a piece of fat meat; whoever occupied it would reap huge benefits.
However, Bingzhou was a hot potato, coveted by both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Since Han Sui had taken the initiative to ask for Bingzhou, why not?
"Okay, I promise you!"
After a moment of contemplation, Han Sui knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands, and said, "Han Sui is willing to surrender!"
Lu Li quickly stepped forward to help Han Sui up and said loudly, "General Han, there's no need for such a grand gesture. From now on, we are allies."
After Han Sui stood up, he asked, "May I ask, sir, what should we do next?"
Now Cao Cao's army and Yuan Shao's army are at the city gates. If we can't hold them off, we'll all be doomed.
"Don't worry, I have a way to repel the enemy!" Lu Li said confidently.
"Um?"
Han Sui frowned. Did he still have some trump card up his sleeve?
Han Sui couldn't help but ask, "Please enlighten me, sir!"
Lu Li chuckled a few times and said, "General Han only needs to hold off the Ji Province army. Cao Cao, leave him to me!"
Han Sui had fought against the Ji Province army before and had some understanding of their strength and capabilities, so he couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Are you confident in defeating the Yan Province army?"
"General Han, please rest assured, I can take it with a few words!"
After hesitating for a moment, Han Sui gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, then I'll take the gamble."
Subsequently, Han Sui led a large army to resist the Jizhou army.
Ma Chao's 20,000 cavalry have now once again entered Bingzhou.
"Master! Uncle has surrendered?" Ma Chao was overjoyed upon receiving the news.
"That's right, Han Sui has already surrendered to the Yellow Turban Army!"
"Excellent! This way, Xiliang can unite and fight together against a common enemy!"
Ma Chao is still young, and Han Sui will not surrender so easily. This is just a helpless move. Once he has secured Bingzhou, he will no longer be under Han Sui's control.
Lu Li was naturally aware of this, so his ultimate goal was not to make Han Sui surrender, but to take away the 40,000 Xiliang cavalry under Han Sui's command!
"Mengqi, Han Sui has already led his troops to resist Yuan Shao's army. You will come with me to resist Cao Cao's army," Lu Li instructed Ma Chao.
"Yes, sir!" Ma Chao immediately accepted the order; he had been eagerly awaiting it for a long time!
Fighting alongside Lu Li is so exhilarating! Every move he makes is perfectly timed, and we always achieve great victories.
In this battle, Ma Chao led the Xiliang cavalry to hunt down Cao Ren's 200,000-strong army in Shangdang County.
Xun Yu had anticipated this long ago. As long as they defeated Ma Chao, they could enter Bingzhou and move freely without hindrance.
However, Xun Yu had never anticipated the terrifying nature of the Xiliang cavalry, especially in cavalry warfare.
Cao Ren clashed briefly with Ma Chao and found Ma Chao to be exceptionally brave; his two iron cavalrymen were like divine soldiers descending from the sky.
Ma Chao led 20,000 cavalry, advancing with unstoppable momentum into Cao Cao's camp, slaughtering them like cutting melons and vegetables.
This scene shocked many people, especially Cao Ren himself, who witnessed the terror of the Xiliang cavalry for the first time.
I had always heard that the Xiliang cavalry was brave and invincible, but I had never truly experienced it.
"General, let's retreat! If we continue fighting, we'll all die here!" Lieutenant General Li Dian whispered a reminder.
Cao Ren's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. Finally, he sighed deeply and gritted his teeth, saying, "Withdraw!"
Although he was very unwilling, he knew he had lost when facing the Xiliang cavalry.
Li Dian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the army to retreat!
Ma Chao led 20,000 cavalry in pursuit for a while, but stopped when he saw that Cao Cao's army had fled far away.
They weren't fools; if they continued to pursue deep into enemy territory, they would easily be surrounded.
"Hmph, they're lucky they ran fast, otherwise I would have executed them without mercy!" Ma Chao sneered.
Ma Chao led his troops back to Shangdang County, but Lu Li said with a smile, "Cao Ren suffered a great defeat this time, so Cao Cao will definitely lead the expedition himself, and his troops will be even more numerous."
"Mengqi, you and Ma Dai will each lead 10,000 iron cavalry to ambush Cao Cao's army on their way."
"When Cao's army approached the city of Shangdang, Ma Dai led his troops out to attack Cao's central army, leaving Cao unable to defend both ends."
"Then, Meng Qi outflanked and cut off Cao Cao's army's retreat!"
