Three Kingdoms: Do you want me to get out of here? Liu Bei, you wait

Chapter 200: Unconvinced Ma Chao, suspicious Han Sui, Su Chen's counter-espionage plan

Ma Chao spoke with certainty.

Seeing him like this, Han Sui was also stunned. After coming back to his senses, he shook his head again.

"Using the emperor to control the princes? It's not as simple as you think. Cao Cao has been rooted in Xuchang for many years. His foundation is so deep that you can't imagine it. Even if you break into Xuchang this time, the result will be the same."

Han Sui was unmoved by any circumstances.

Seeing him like this, Ma Chao became even more excited and said,
"How can it be the same?"

"Even if it's true, isn't this also a revenge for my father's death? Doesn't it mean that in my uncle's eyes, my father's death is unimportant?!"

Hearing this, Han Sui's face was filled with anger. "When did I ever say such a thing? If I really had such thoughts, why would I have traveled thousands of miles from Xiliang to come here today?"

Ma Chao realized that he had spoken out of turn and bowed to apologize.

"I'm sorry, uncle. I broke my promise."

Han Sui still had a frosty expression on his face while sitting in the main seat. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Pang De stepped out to smooth things over at the critical moment.

"That's right. My lord, this is human nature. I hope you can forgive me and don't take it as a fault.

However, what my lord said was not entirely impulsive. As the current situation shows, it is indeed a godsend opportunity.

It would be a shame to retreat like this. We must at least take Tongguan and Chang'an."

"Ling Ming, this is the advice of a mature and wise man for the country."

"That's indeed what the Qilin scholar said in the letter just now. How about this? I will use this as an excuse to mediate with the Qilin scholar. As long as we can take over these two places, our expedition will not be in vain and we can return with a full load."

Hearing this, Han Sui's face showed a satisfied smile, and he nodded in agreement.

Seeing him like this, Ma Chao obviously wanted to say something else, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Pang De beside him. He reluctantly bowed and left the Tongguan government office.

Ma Chao had just returned to his garrison position when he couldn't hold back his temper towards Pang De.

"Just now at the government office, why did Brother Ling Mingming stop me?"

Seeing this, Pang De tried to persuade him earnestly.

"My lord, please do not act on impulse. Although Han Sui had many grievances with you and his father before, that was after all an internal matter of Xiliang. Now that he is willing to lead his troops to help, it proves his intentions.

We should really work together on this structural point, otherwise if that genius takes advantage of the opportunity, it will be really troublesome."

Ma Chao heard this and sighed.

"Brothers working together can break metal, how could I not understand this truth? But right now it's not that I'm not united, it's clearly that Han Sui has ulterior motives.

Ling Ming, don't you think about what he just said on the stage, what he meant by taking Tongguan and Chang'an? This trip will not be in vain.

How could this guy lead 100,000 troops to support us? He is clearly here to pick peaches."

The more he spoke this time, the angrier and more upset his expression became.

"Although my lord is brave, he is still too immature. If he continues like this, disaster is not far away..."

Seeing his indignant expression, Pound sighed in his heart.

Although they did not share the same hatred for the enemy, they became increasingly pessimistic about Ma Chao's future.

Of course, although I thought so in my heart, nothing extra happened on the surface.

Just there to comfort Ma Chao.

Let him not take undue care in the matter.

In any case, at least at this stage, his goals are basically the same as Han Sui's.

After much persuasion, Ma Chao was finally persuaded.

Look at his back as he leaves.

Pound let out a long breath of relief.

I thought this matter was finally over.

Little did they know about the conversation and expressions of the two people at the moment.

The servant in the corner saw everything clearly.

After a moment's time, he found the letter, wrote it down, and secretly sent it out of the city by carrier pigeon.

Yes, this servant was none other than the secret spy sent by Su Chen.

He is a member of the Jiangzuo League.

After Su Chen moved to Xuchang as the main base, the focus of the Jiangzuo League also moved northward.

The Jiangzuo League's secret agents also began to infiltrate every corner of Xuchang and even the surrounding towns.

It was just a random move.

Su Chen didn't expect that it would work so well at this critical juncture.

That night, the relevant information was delivered to Su Chen.

Looking at the letter in my hand.

Su Chen was naturally happy as well.

There burst into laughter.

"What happened to make the military advisor so happy?"

Seeing him smiling so happily, Gao Shun was also surprised and couldn't help but ask again.

"Gao Shun, take a look for yourself."

I heard Gao Shun asking questions.

Su Chen did not hide anything and immediately handed over the letter in his hand and said with a smile.

"What did I say?"

"Han Sui and Ma Chao really have different opinions. They appear to be in agreement but their hearts are not."

Gao Shun was surprised when he heard this, and after he glanced at the content written above, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Yeah, that's true."

"Isn't this the godsend opportunity I've been waiting for?"

"Military Advisor, why don't you let us send someone to talk to Han Sui right now? Deliberately throw out Chang'an and Tongguan as bait to induce Han Sui to withdraw his troops? Let's take advantage of the situation. Han Sui will definitely be tempted when he hears this news."

He then looked at Su Chen again and immediately expressed his proposal.

But listen to him say so.

Su Chen shook his head and rejected his proposal. I have a negative opinion on this.

He believed that giving up Chang'an and Tongguan this time would not achieve the best effect.

He immediately spoke and made his own arrangements.

"It is at times like this that we should do the opposite, and then we will have unexpected gains."

"Gao Shun, send someone to keep an eye on the Tongguan direction right now.

Now Xu Chu and his men have arrived in Hexi and are stationed there.

Given Ma Chao's character, it was impossible for him to just sit in Tongguan and wait for death.

We will wait until he leaves Tongguan, and then move forward.

Then all we need is this... this...

"It will make Ma Chao feel like an enemy every bush and tree, and he will be in a state of panic all day long."

Gao Shun listened and kept it in mind silently.

Not to mention him, even Su Chen thought that it would take some time to actually implement this strategy.

I never thought about it.

I had just dozed off when someone brought me a pillow.

There wasn't even three days left.

The Jiangzuo League's secret agents sent intelligence again.

It means that Ma Chao has left Tongguan.

Went to inspect Hexi.

Everyone was naturally excited to hear the news.

Immediately, Su Chen led a large number of troops and rushed towards Tongguan.

However, this time he was not coming with the intention of attacking Tongguan, but rather under the pretext of visiting an old friend on behalf of the Prime Minister.

In front of the two armies, in full view of everyone.

He started chatting with Han Sui, the governor of Xiliang.

No one doesn't like to hear nice words.

Especially someone like Su Chen who is already a world-famous talent and strategist.

Listen to him express his respect and admiration for himself.

Even though he knew in his heart that what Su Chen said this time could not be taken seriously, it was mostly just politeness.

Han Sui still felt overjoyed.

He made her laugh several times in front of the two armies, and she was still very proud of it when she arrived at her own camp.

He had no idea that he had fallen into Su Chen's trap without even realizing it.

He felt that the innocent were innocent, and there was nothing to avoid when chatting with Su Chen in public.
Little do they know that three people make a tiger.
All the mouths of gold, accumulating and destroying bones.

As the news spread more and more widely, it finally reached Ma Chao's ears.

Things are completely different from what they were before.

Ma Chao had already suspected that he was not here to help but to pick fruits. When he heard the news, his first reaction was naturally not to feel any celebrity style.

Instead, he felt that the scene he was most worried about was about to become a reality.

So, not long after they arrived in Hexi, they rushed back overnight.

At this moment, he didn't care that Han Sui was meeting friends in the mansion.

He went straight to Han Sui's house that night and found him directly.

"Good nephew?"

"It's already the middle of the night. I wonder what brings you here so late at night?"

Han Sui was meeting with friends in his mansion.

Looking at Ma Chao, who came to him angrily with red eyes, his first reaction was naturally surprise.

The first thing he asked was,
Seeing his confused face, Ma Chao asked while suppressing his anger.

"I heard that uncle met with the talented Qilin scholar in front of the two armies today and had a very pleasant conversation. I wonder what uncle talked about with him? As far as I know, uncle didn't know this talented Qilin scholar before, right?"

"Why did I come here for this matter?"

Han Sui didn't think much about it and replied with an "oh".

"I'm not familiar with him. So I didn't talk much with that genius scholar. We just talked about some poems and songs.

A great reputation is a real honor. This talented scholar has the manners and manners of a great man. He is very polite and knows how to entertain guests. "

At the end of the conversation, there was a hint of smugness on his face.

Hearing this, Ma Chao responded with deep doubt.

Yes, he added with a fake smile.

"That talented scholar Qilin led a large army here with such sincerity, but he actually came here just to talk about poetry and songs with my uncle? If this is spread out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince others."

Han Sui's expression became serious. "My dear nephew, what do you mean by that? That is why I said that this talented scholar Qilin is very polite and knows how to entertain guests. Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Ma Chao asked, "No, I'm just curious. Uncle and this talented scholar only talked about poetry and songs. Didn't they talk about other things, such as military affairs?"

"What do you mean, nephew?"

"It is said that guests should follow the host's wishes. The talented Qilin did not mention this matter himself. Wouldn't it be even more impolite for me to bring it up?"

Han Sui is not an idiot.

I was complacent at first and didn't think much about it.

But after hearing what he said this time, I naturally guessed something.

There was a hint of unhappiness in his words.

I just felt the elegance between him and the talented scholar like the flowing water in the mountains.

All of this was ruined by Ma Chao's malicious speculation.

Seeing his look, Ma Chao sneered twice.

"Yes, then in the end, it was my nephew who was rude."

Having said this, he didn't ask any more questions. He snorted coldly, waved his hand, and left in a hurry.

"This Ma Chao is going too far, he really doesn't take me seriously..."

Look at him like this.

Han Sui was also very angry.

He sat in the mansion with his hands behind his back, cursing at Ma Chao.

He was cursing loudly, and the news reached Cao's camp.

Gao Shun and others couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this.

He immediately turned around and gave Su Chen some advice.

I feel that now is the time to use military force.

Since the two sides have already had a rift, it is a good opportunity to seize Tongguan at this critical moment.

But listen to him say this.

Su Chen just shook his head again.

"No rush, no rush."

"There's only one last fire left."

Gao Shun was puzzled. "The last fire?"

"good."

"Go ahead and send someone to deliver this letter to Han Sui. Remember to let Ma Chao find it by accident..."

As Su Chen spoke, he handed a letter that he had prepared long ago to Gao Shun.

"Okay, I'll do it right now!"

Gao Shun naturally had no doubts.

Just do it silently.

The next evening, the letter was delivered to Han Sui's residence in Tongguan.

And with the precise cooperation of the Jiangzuo League.

As luck would have it, this letter was spotted by Ma Chao who was on night patrol.

Ma Chao had been suspicious of Han Sui's conspiracy with Cao's camp for several days.

Seeing that it was late at night, the talented scholar Qilin still sent someone to deliver a letter.

And he was so sneaky the whole time.

Naturally, I felt even more alarmed.

He didn't even have time to go back and discuss countermeasures with Pang De.

So he hurried towards Han Sui's mansion.

When he arrived, Han Sui had just opened the letter in his hand and had no time to read it carefully.

Ma Chao rushed in hurriedly.

He opened his mouth and explained his purpose.

He said he saw a letter from Cao Cao.

I want to see with Han Sui what is written in the envelope.

"You still don't believe me after all."

Seeing Ma Chao's vigilant look, Han Sui naturally felt particularly unhappy.

"I'm just reading the letter. There's no need to be so excited, uncle?"

"Hmph, the innocent are innocent. There's no reason for me to be excited. Since you want to see it, I'll show it to you."

Han Sui was truly upright. After saying this, he handed over the letter he had just opened without even thinking.

Then he put his hands behind his back, waiting for Ma Chao to apologize.

However, he never expected that after reading the letter this time, Ma Chao not only did not show any shame on his face, but his eyes were shining brightly.

Even now he was even more angry than him.
With a slap in the face, he slapped the letter back on the desk.

He pointed at Han Sui's nose and questioned him again.

"What a clear person is clear. Is this what uncle calls innocence? It's a good letter, but the important parts are smudged everywhere. It's a good letter, but the important parts are smudged everywhere. Uncle, can you explain to me why these smudges are made?"

"smear?"

Han Sui was stunned.

He turned around and looked at the envelope in Ma Chao's hand.

Just as he said, I felt surprised after applying it on the important places.

After a moment, he thought about it and said.

"It really is."

"Perhaps the talented Qilin was busy with official duties and sent the draft by mistake when delivering the letter."

He spoke in a light-hearted manner, but Ma Chao could not help but burst into laughter after hearing it. However, his smile was filled with a chilling coldness.

"What a mistake in sending the draft over. Can we be so careless about military and national affairs? Did my uncle think that genius scholar was a three-year-old child, or did he think I was a three-year-old child who could be fooled at will?!"

"The evidence is irrefutable now. Uncle, are you still going to deny it?!"
