When Han Sui saw that the letter had been leaked, he felt ashamed.
His daughter Han Qi had exchanged letters with Yuan Xi. This was Han Sui's escape route.
However, now that Ma Chao had exposed it, he could not explain himself.
Han Sui could only say, "In the letter, my daughter did not reveal any military information. She also did not collude with Yuan Xi. I did not betray the alliance! "
Ma Chao scoffed, "This letter did not mention any military information. What about the other letters?"
Han Sui insisted that there was only this one letter.
Ma Chao was furious. He pulled out his sword and wanted to kill Han Sui. Pang De hugged Ma Chao's arm and advised, "The main force of the Xiliang army is the young general and Governor Han. If we kill Governor Han, his subordinates will definitely cause internal strife! What can we use to resist Yuan Xi? "
Ma Dai also hurriedly advised, "Han Sui is the uncle. We are the younger generation. If we kill the uncle, it will go against filial piety. "
Ma Chao suppressed his anger and said, "If we keep this old thief, he will probably join Yuan Xi in the blink of an eye!"
Ma Dai said, "Why don't we temporarily detain Han Sui in the camp and not let the news leak? Then, we can use his name to send our trusted subordinates to seize his military power."
Ma Chao listened to Ma Dai's plan and ordered his trusted subordinates to detain Han Sui in secret. Then, they found a small seal that Han Sui carried with him and forged an order to send his trusted subordinates to seize power in Han Sui's camp.
…
Until nightfall, there was still no news from Han Sui's camp.
Ma Chao was anxious. He sent scouts to gather information, but none of them returned.
Suddenly, there was a report that the camp was on fire.
A fire in the camp was a big deal. Ma Chao hurriedly brought people to inspect the camp. When he saw that the fire was small, he ordered the soldiers to extinguish it. Fortunately, it did not cause a big disaster.
Unexpectedly, when Ma Chao arrived at the camp, he heard a series of reports. An assassin had broken into the camp, killed the guards, and rescued Han Sui!
Ma Chao was shocked. He hurriedly got on his horse and led his men back.
When he returned to the camp, he heard chaos. Two groups of soldiers were fighting each other. They were all wearing the Xiliang army's armor. A few generals protected Han Sui as they fought and retreated.
Ma Chao recognized that one of them was his sworn sister, Han Qi. He shouted, "Han Qi! You really want to rebel! "
Han Qi, also known as Camille, spat when she saw Ma Chao. "You're not the emperor. My father was imprisoned by you, and you won't allow me to save him? You're a junior, yet you're imprisoning your uncle. That's disgraceful! "
Ma Chao angrily said, "If you did not betray our alliance, how could I be like this?" Immediately he shouted his order, the elite soldiers stepped forward, not a single one was allowed to leave.
Camille's weapons were two pistols — — under the transformation of the Spirit Realm's rules, they were two crossbows, and it was unknown how the crossbows were automatically loaded. She held the gun with both hands, held it horizontally, and fired continuously.
After the bullets hit the Xiliang Army under Ma Chao's command, although the damage was average, they were randomly inflicted with rather troublesome negative statuses such as confusion, speed reduction, dizziness, bleeding, and so on.
The generals by Camille's side also had their own unique abilities.
One of them was a burly general with a slightly tanned face. He held a large shield and a wrench in his hands, and his defense was tight.
The waves of attacks from the Xiliang Army under Ma Chao's command were all blocked by him. When a leader-level general swung his sword at him, a yellow light flashed on the surface of this general's body, and he swung his shield horizontally. This general's blade was retracted, and he was sent flying like a fly.
There was also a slim female general. She held two swords in her hands, and her figure was like a ghost. Every time she swung her sword, an ordinary Xiliang Army soldier would fall.
Ma Chao felt that these two people were somewhat familiar, but he was sure that they were not the generals under Han Sui.
Beside him, the military secretary Zhou Fu said, "Young General, these two people are Yuan Xi's generals! The one with the shield is called Han Yang, and he's brave. The one with the two swords is called Li Shu, and she's also not to be underestimated. "
Ma Chao was furious. "Han Sui! You colluded with the Yuan Army, what else do you have to say! "
At this time, Han Sui had already shed all pretenses of cordiality. He pointed at Ma Chao and said, "I didn't collude with them, but you've gone too far! You imprisoned me and even forged my military orders, trying to plot against my troops. Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being unjust. "
Ma Chao gritted his teeth. Seeing that the crowd in front of him was congested, he couldn't use his spear, so he dismounted from his horse and walked. He drew his sword from his waist and charged in.
At this time, Han Xu was in the state of being buffed by his aura shield. He raised his shield to meet Ma Chao.
Ma Chao's swordsmanship was good. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he wielded his sword and fought against five generals under Han Sui. The result was that he cut down two of them, and the other three fled. However, compared to Ma Chao, who was armed with a spear and was buffed by the Prairie Fire Spear Technique, his attack power was still much weaker.
Han Xu raised his shield to block Ma Chao. His feet were firm, and he stood firmly in place. After activating the shield's [Iron Will] skill and the Sandalwood Great Armor's [Solid Wall] skill, Ma Chao, as a powerful Lord, couldn't take down an elite Awakened for the time being!
A trusted aide came to report, "Young General, it's not good! The granary is on fire! "
Ma Chao's heart tightened. Suddenly, he heard the sound of drums from all directions. Fire arrows covered the sky and landed on the yurt. The fire quickly spread.
War cries rose from all directions. One after another, scouts came to report that the enemy was attacking from all directions. Three of them were the Yuan Army, and the other was the army under Han Sui's tent. They all had white scarves wrapped around their arms as a mark.
It turned out that Ma Chao had sent his trusted aides to seize Han Sui's military power, but they were all killed by Camille. As for the news of Han Sui's imprisonment, of course, it couldn't be hidden. Therefore, Han Sui's subordinates were all agitated. Camille also had a reason to formally unite with Bai Xiaowen under the banner of saving her father.
This banner of righteousness was still very important. Otherwise, betraying Ma Chao for no reason would inevitably be looked down upon in the Three Kingdoms Plane where filial piety was the main theme.
Originally, Bai Xiaowen's plan was to sacrifice Han Sui, but Camille didn't want to do so.
Therefore, Bai Xiaowen slightly changed the plan. He sent Li Shuyi and Han Xu to cooperate with Camille to rescue Han Sui from Ma Chao's camp.
There were benefits to doing so.
Firstly, Han Sui was still useful alive.
Secondly, Camille and the other two could lead elite soldiers to infiltrate Ma Chao's camp and create chaos. This would allow Bai Xiaowen's army to defeat Ma Chao more easily.
When Ma Chao heard that Yuan Xi's army was coming and saw that he couldn't defeat Han Xu, he gave up on Han Xu and turned around to gather his troops to face the enemy.
Han Xu didn't chase after him, or rather, he didn't dare to chase after him. This was because the duration of his special technique and other equipment's additional skills was almost over. If they continued to fight, they would definitely be exposed.
However, the Western Liang Army was currently having internal strife. When the military order was given, their reaction speed was much slower than normal. The four armies broke through Ma Chao's camp.
Ma Dai shouted, "Big brother! This matter can't be done. Let's retreat to Chang 'an first and plan our next move! "
Ma Chao glanced at Han Sui and Han Qi again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!"
He led Pound, Ma Dai, and a few hundred of his personal cavalry to open up a bloody path and escape.
