Yan Xing laughed loudly after hearing this, "Han Gong is my father-in-law, how could I betray him? In other words, if I even betrayed my father-in-law, how could Pei Qing believe in my loyalty? There is nothing to say about today. Since our army was defeated, we can only die. But what I wondered about is why even Ma Chao almost died in my hands, but I was defeated by yours?"

Wei Yan smiled faintly when he heard this, "I think you are obsessed with your past glory. It is a fact that Ma Chao was almost killed by you at that time, but it does not mean that you can be better than Ma Chao. Even top experts are careless. What's more, Ma Chao was underage at that time, and it's normal for him to make a mistake. But if you think that Ma Chao is not your opponent now, then you are a little deceiving. Although he is a hostage in Chang'an, his martial arts are making rapid progress, and even I don't have the confidence to defeat him. As for you, it's not that I underestimate you. Your martial arts are at most second-rate top level, and even first-class generals can't be called a first-class general, but you blindly think that you are a first-class general. Fortunately, you have not met a truly top-level master. Otherwise, how could you live to this day?"

Yan Xing's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He sighed and murmured: "You are right. I really thought that even Ma Chao was not my opponent. I could definitely be considered the best master in the world. But if I think about it carefully, Ma Chao was underage and lacked combat experience, so I succeeded. If it were now, it would probably be even worse than defeating you today. I always uplift myself by the standards of Ma Chao's defeat under my hands, and at the same time underestimate the heroes in the world. This is not a real master. Otherwise, my grave grass would probably grow taller. But now I'm useless to say those things. With today's situation, can I still have life?"

Yan Xing smiled bitterly, and then said loudly: "I, Yan Xing, have a very high opinion of himself, but in fact, it's just a second-rate general. I am really stupid enough, and I think I am brave enough to the world."

Yan Xing laughed loudly, then bowed to Wei Yan and said, "Thank you, General Wei, for your advice, and let me wake up from my dream, but I can't repay your love in this life."

After saying that, Yan Xing turned the spear head and stabbed directly into his lower abdomen. He screamed, and fell straight from the horse's back, vomiting blood, and died immediately.

"General, General..." After seeing Yan Xing commit suicide, all the soldiers under his command were terrified, and some soldiers who were loyal to him even spoke sorrow and cried bitterly.

When Wei Yan saw this scene, he felt very moved. Yan Xing was also a man, but he did not keep his mind clear and immersed himself in the dream he woven. Once he woke up, he found that he could not accept this bitterness at all, and thus lost the motivation to live and could only die.

"I want to accept his lesson, keep a clear mind at all times, never expand myself and underestimate the heroes of the world. Otherwise, once I wake up from my dream, it will only be like this."

Wei Yan sighed in his heart, and then shouted loudly: "You are the Lord General Yan Xing is dead. When will you not surrender again? Those who surrender are exempted from punishment, and those who resist die!"

With Yan Xing's suicide, the morale of the soldiers in the army had already collapsed. These confused and helpless soldiers heard Wei Yan and his soldiers say that those who surrendered could avoid death, so how could they care about anything else? They immediately abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

In fact, most of these soldiers had a herd mentality, and when they saw someone surrender, they naturally surrendered with the crowd.

So less than an hour after Yan Xing's death, most of the soldiers in the city chose to surrender.

In this battle, Wei Yan lost a total of four soldiers, but more than 4,000 prisoners were surrendered, which was a great victory.

However, there was no slight expression of pride on Wei Yan's face. After breaking the city, he immediately ordered that all the soldiers of the army be on guard immediately and be prepared to start a war.

Of course, his 4,000 prisoners were first detained because they were difficult to win the trust, and they provided free soup and food. Although this would cost a lot of supplies, it could ensure that these prisoners would not rise up and attack.

The reason why Wei Yan ordered to be alert was of course to prevent Han Sui from leading his army to attack the city, because he knew that Han Sui was not a fool and would definitely arrive at Guzang City quickly. Although he was one step ahead, he could not relax at all.

The facts proved that Wei Yan's prediction was correct. Han Sui ordered the soldiers to advance to Guzang City at full speed early the next morning. Although some soldiers were a little dissatisfied with Han Sui's return on the original route, they did not dare to make any abnormal movements under Han Sui's accumulated power and could only follow the large group of people to Guzang City.

However, halfway through, Han Sui saw many soldiers wearing Xiliang military uniforms coming. He quickly ordered to stop the people and asked what had happened. Only then did he realize that Guzang City was lost, and even his son-in-law Yan Xing was dead.

"What, what?" Han Sui's eyes suddenly turned dark when he heard this scene and almost fainted. He tried so hard to get on the road, but Wei Yan was still snatched the first. Moreover, his son-in-law Yan Xing was so skilled in martial arts that he was even dead.

Han Sui was suddenly overwhelmed by anger and said loudly: "At this time, Wei Yan must be unprepared for our army. All the soldiers of the army must rush to the city of Guzang before dark and immediately launch an attack on the enemy. Anyone who can capture Wei Yan alive will be rewarded with tens of millions of dollars, and those who kill Wei Yan will be rewarded with five million yuan, and those who kill Wei Yan will be rewarded with five million yuan, and those who are partially appointed as generals."

But Cheng Gongying came forward and advised, "Lord, this may be inappropriate. Since Wei Yan planned to capture Guzang City, how could he be unwarranted from our army? According to the officials, our army should go to Zhangye, which is a military important place, a major transportation route, and a developed farming and sericulture. As long as we guard the narrowest section of the road, even if a million troops invade it will be useless. As long as we manage the three counties of Zhangye, Dunhuang and Jiuquan well, and at the same time appease the Qiang and Rong tribes, the lord will not achieve great achievements in the future."

Han Sui said unhappily: "I don't agree with Gongying, what you said. First of all, Wei Yan won twice in a row, and may not be able to be prepared now. Besides, even if they are really prepared, even if we retreat, we need to retreat to Jincheng. How could we go to Zhangye? Jincheng is our foundation."

"If the lord really arrives in Jincheng, I'm afraid we don't know how we died in the future..."

"Shut up! When is this now? How can you say such a discouraged thing?" Han Sui heard Cheng Gongying say this, he shouted angrily and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for my attention to you, you could be punished by your words alone. Jincheng is the foundation of our army and we can't give up anyway. Of course, retreat is actually the most unstoppable way for us. Now the most urgent thing is that we should attack Guzang City. Okay, don't say anything. Let's set off immediately and go to Guzang. I must give Wei Yan a little color to avenge my son-in-law!"
