Seeing this, Ma Teng fled back to Xiliang, then raised the flag to attack Cao Cao, preparing to go south to Xudu to attack Cao Cao. However, later the Yi Zhao incident was leaked, and Dong Cheng and others were executed. Fortunately, Liu Bei was able to go to Xuzhou and escape.

After a calamity, Ma Teng saw this and had no choice but to give up.

But not long after, Ma Teng learned that his Hanoi County had been captured by Cao Cao. Ma Teng was even more angry when he heard this. So he ordered Ma Dai to prepare to attack Cao Cao. At this time, he heard that Yuan Shao had sent troops to Liyang. Ma Teng knew

The time had come, so he ordered Ma Chao to guard the rear to prevent Han Sui, while he marched out of Xiliang.

At this time, Cao Hong, the governor of Hanoi County, heard that Ma Teng had sent troops to Xiliang, so he secretly ordered Han Sui to attack his rear. A few days later, Cao Hong's army and Ma Teng's army were stationed several miles away from Hanoi County. Ma Teng ordered Ma Dai to fight. Cao Hong

Seeing this, he went out to fight in person. After dozens of rounds, Ma Dai was defeated and returned. Ma Teng had to withdraw his troops temporarily.

The next day, Zhao Yun went to see Ma Teng. Ma Teng asked Zhao Yun and wanted to refuse, but because he was Ma Yunlu's husband, he met him. Ma Teng had always looked down on Zhao Yun's background, and he could not make any achievements at this time.

, so he didn’t even want to look at him.

Zhao Yun came to the tent and paid homage to his Lord Taishan. Ma Teng asked him why he came to see him. Zhao Yun said: "I heard that my father-in-law led an army to attack Hanoi County, so I came to find out."

"So you didn't come to help me?" Ma Teng said contemptuously.

"I'm here to persuade you to go back." Zhao Yun said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Now is the time to take back Hanoi County, but you tell me to go back?"

Zhao Yun then explained: "You are leading your army out of Xiliang at this time, and Han Sui will definitely steal Fufeng County later." Ma Teng said, how could Han Sui dare to come when his son Ma Chao was guarding the rear.

Zhao Yun saw Ma Teng's confident look, so he said: "Although Ma Teng is brave, he is too hasty and may not be a match for Han Sui."

But Ma Teng seemed not to listen to Zhao Yun's words, and then said: "I have my own rules, you don't have to say anything anymore!" He refused Zhao Yun's advice and invited him out of the military camp.

Zhao Yun was helpless. He didn't want to see the whole of Xiliang fall into the hands of Han Sui, so he could only lead two of his own guards to Xiliang. At this time, Han Sui had already received a secret letter from Cao Hong. Han Sui had originally wanted to sneak attack Ma

Teng's rear, but he had been worried about Ma Chao's bravery, so he did not dare to advance. At this time, Cheng Yinjin admonished: "My lord, this is a good opportunity to unify Xiliang, there is no room for failure!"

"But Ma Chao is as brave as Lu Bu. I'm afraid..." Han Sui hesitated.

"Although Ma Chao is brave and unintelligent, he is worthless!"

"I wonder what your plan is to defeat Ma Chao?" Han Sui asked.

Cheng Yin said: "Now that Ma Teng has taken away most of the soldiers and horses, we can attack Fufeng County with one fell swoop. If Fufeng County is in danger, Ma Teng will definitely return to the army to rescue him. Cao Hong will attack him when the time comes.

, if we divide our forces to outflank Ma Teng, Ma Teng will undoubtedly be defeated, and Xiliang will be the general’s territory by then!"

Han Sui was overjoyed when he heard this, so he raised 50,000 troops to attack Ma Chao. When Ma Chao heard that Han Sui was leading his army, he personally led 20,000 troops to camp east of the Wei River, waiting for Han Sui's army to come.

Han Sui came with his army and saw that Ma Chao had already set up camp to fight. So he also set up camp on the west bank of the Wei River. The two armies faced each other across the bank, and there was a small bridge across the Wei River. Ma Chao led his army out to fight first, but Han Sui seemed to be in no hurry.

Fighting with Ma Chao, he used archers to drive Ma Chao back. Ma Chao returned to camp and thought about how to repel the enemy.

Suddenly it was reported that Cheng Yi, a general of Han Sui's army, had come to challenge him. Ma Chao was angry. Just now he challenged himself to fight, but no one came out to fight. Now that he had returned to camp, they came to challenge him. Ma Chao thought about this, so he raised his gun and went out. He only heard Cheng Yi insulting him.

He and Ma Chao rode out. Cheng Yi saw Ma Chao coming out, so he reined in his horse and returned to camp.

Ma Chao shouted there for a long time, but no one from the enemy army came out to fight, so Ma Chao returned to the camp. However, not long after he sat down, someone came to report again, and the enemy general came to challenge him. Ma Chao came out again, but Cheng Yi left again. And so on.

Three times in a row, Ma Chao finally couldn't help it and was furious: "Han Sui, I will definitely kill you!" So he led his army towards the camp.

However, Han Sui had already ambushed his cavalry near the bridge. Now he saw Ma Chao leading his army, so he rushed out. Ma Chao's army was defeated, so he led his army back to Fufeng County to defend it. Han Sui led his army to besiege the city, while Ma Chao rectified the defensive equipment.

He sent people to Ma Teng for help. However, the envoy was intercepted and killed by Han Sui's army not far from the city gate. Ma Chao defended for more than ten days, but still did not see his father leading the army to rescue him. At this time, he realized

His contacts with the outside world were also controlled by Han Sui. Seeing that there was not much food and grass in his city. If this continued, the morale of the army would definitely be weakened. At this time, Ma Chao planned to abandon Fufeng County.

However, he was dissuaded by Ma Yunlu. He said that this was his father's inheritance and should not be given up easily. Ma Chao persisted. The next day, Zhao Yun suddenly came to see Ma Chao. Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu were very happy, so they went to the east gate in person.

Welcome. At this time, there were not many enemy troops at the east gate, so Zhao Yun rushed into the city casually.

Ma Yunlu saw Zhao Yun coming, so he held Zhao Yun's son and threw himself into Zhao Yun's arms. Zhao Yun was also very happy to see them. They hugged each other. Ma Chao then informed Zhao Yun of the current situation. After Zhao Yun heard this, he

He said to Ma Chao: "Today, only a quick victory and a quick decision have a chance of survival."

Ma Chao said: "Now that Han Sui has besieged the city for more than ten days, the city is about to run out of food. What can we do?"

"Now if I can push Han Sui back to the west of the Wei River, I will have a way to push them back," Zhao Yun said.

Ma Chao thought for a moment and then said: "Now Han Sui knows that our city is short of food. If we go out of the city tomorrow to fight to the death with them, Han Sui will definitely retreat!"

Zhao Yundao: "This is the only plan for now!"

When Ma Chao heard this, he went down to reorganize his army and horses in preparation for the battle tomorrow.

The next day, I saw Ma Chao leading his army out of the city, and then started a melee with Han Sui's army. Ma Chao said to the soldiers: "Now there is a shortage of food in the city, and the only way to have a chance of survival is to rush out." The soldiers were fighting bloody battles at this time.

Han Sui saw that the morale of Ma Chao's army was high and seemed to be making a last-ditch struggle. As the saying goes, "a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, but a rabbit bites someone in a hurry." Han Sui thought of this, so he had to retreat to the west of the Wei River, waiting for Ma Chao's army to collapse without a fight, and then take advantage of a false attack

Enter the city.

At this time, Zhao Yun saw that Han Sui had retreated to the west of the Wei River, so he asked Ma Chao to station east of the Wei River. Ma Chao did as he was told. That night, Zhao Yun discussed his strategy with Ma Chao. After Ma Chao listened, he asked Zhao Yun if he wanted to
