The siege in the past few days has not made any progress, which allowed Ma Teng to accumulate a lot of energy.
Ma Chao on the side also frowned and looked not very good.
Pang De stepped forward and bowed and said: "Judging from the situation in the past two days, there is still a lot of food, grass and baggage in the city. I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve results by storm."
The arrows in the hands of the Huaili County defenders are as if they are free of charge. They have never been economical. If you want to use them with them, you may not get any advantage.
Sima Yi stopped talking and looked extremely ugly. The plan that he thought was a sure win that day did not have any effect.
Because of this, he almost lost Ma Teng and Ma Chao's trust in him.
At this time, he couldn't think of any suitable strategy at all.
"Tap!"
The sound of rapid footsteps made Ma Teng, who was already irritable, even more angry. He stood up and roared: "Whoever disturbs our discussion of war, drag him out and kill him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier stumbled into the camp and fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
Seeing this person, Ma Teng's expression changed slightly, because this person was a Qiang person.
The Qiang people have good relations with him and have provided him with a lot of resources, so naturally they will not damage their relationship.
His anger also subsided slightly, and he said calmly: "What's the matter?"
I saw the soldier panting and saying: "General, it's not good, Cao, Cao's army."
Seeing his intermittent words made Ma Teng very curious and asked: "What happened to Cao Jun?"
The Qiang man seemed to have regained his breath, and said in one breath: "Cao's army went to kill the Qiang people. Now the entire Qiang army has been wiped out, and the entire Qiang people have been captured!"
After he finished speaking, a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, and Ma Teng said tremblingly: "What? How is it possible? How could Cao Jun still have troops to attack the Qiang people?"
Everyone looked extremely shocked. Cao Jun had been defending the city under their noses. How could he send troops?
Sima Yi's face became even more ugly. This time he met an expert.
The person behind Cao Jun actually hid everything from him, which made his face somewhat dull.
They had already hit a wall in the battle of Huaili County, and now they didn't even notice this movement.
Words: Everyone in Ma Teng's handsome tent looked unhappy. Why is Cao Jun so brave?
Moreover, they actually managed to elude the 100,000 Xiliang army and went directly to the rear to capture the Qiang people.
Sima Yi was frowning and holding his forehead, thinking carefully. Now that Cao Jun had killed the Qiang people, it meant that Cao Jun had set out at least three or four days ago.
And what was the Xiliang army doing at that time?
He briefly recalled that three days ago it was when they led their troops to attack the city for the first time.
Immediately afterwards, Sima Yi's heart was shocked again, and his lips trembled a little.
Who is behind Cao Cao's army? Is it Cao Cao's former military advisor and the current Wei King Zhao Feng?
This series of plans simply made him feel a little frightened. It was not like a situation that a person could plan.
For a moment, Sima Yi's voice was a little hoarse.
"Huaili County is a bureau."
Then he shouted loudly in front of Ma Teng and Ma Chao: "Huaili County is a huge situation!"
Everyone here looked at Sima Yi. Why was he more excited than Ma Teng and others?
Ma Teng gave him a strange look, and no one disturbed him. They looked at him quietly, as if they could understand.
The more this happened, the more excited Sima Yi became. His hoarse voice roared loudly: "All of this was designed by Zhao Feng. We should never have given up on the surrounding empty cities from the beginning!"
"This Huaili County outside Chang'an is a bait deliberately thrown by Zhao Feng!"
After hearing this, everyone fell silent. What exactly did Sima Yi mean?
What they tried their best to attack was just a bait deliberately set by Cao Jun?
What's more important is that they couldn't even take the bait. They also took the bait, but in the end they got nothing. The Qiang people were even attacked by Cao's army.
This time, even the angry Ma Teng calmed down. After looking at Sima Yi for a long time, he said: "Zhongda, what do you mean by bait?"
Sima Yi suddenly laughed like crazy.
He pointed at everyone's noses and cursed: "Haha, you idiots, haven't you understood yet? There is definitely Cao Cao's army in Sizhou!"
"They knew that we would definitely not be able to take Huaili County, so they deliberately did not send troops to make us think that we were getting some great opportunity. Then they sent a hundred thousand troops to attack, but in the end they got nothing."
"And what about them? They're here watching the monkeys play."
Everyone's hearts were extremely shocked. Faced with Sima Yi's yelling, although they were displeased, they also fell silent at the moment.
If Sima Yi hadn't said anything, they would still be in the dark.
After venting his anger, Sima Yi calmed down, sighed in frustration, shook his head and said, "My lord, I was so offended just now."
"At this time, we should withdraw our troops as soon as possible. If we do not withdraw our troops, I am afraid that the entire army will be lost in Sizhou."
Ma Teng waved his hand and said with an ugly face: "You are not to blame for this matter. Cao Jun is too cunning."
At this time, Ma Teng had no trace of anger left, only a deep sense of powerlessness. He suddenly felt that Cao's army in front of him could not be shaken, and the 100,000 troops and horses he brought had no effect at all.
There was a trace of fear in his eyes, while Ma Chao on the side had an ugly face, but still said coldly: "Why was our army completely annihilated in Sizhou?"
"Without the Qiang people, wouldn't we be able to defeat Cao Cao?"
Sima Yi glanced at Ma Chao indifferently, and then said coldly: "When the soldiers and horses who massacred the Qiang people return, and then they are surrounded by the dormant army in Chang'an City, I want to see how you win!"
As soon as these words came out, Ma Chao's expression changed drastically.
Yes, there are Cao Cao's troops behind them. If they return, they may even leave Sizhou.
Although they don't want to admit it, their best choice now is to withdraw their troops.
Even though he was young and energetic, he could not think of any words to refute Sima Yi's words at this time.
Ma Chao froze on the spot and clenched his fists tightly. He had never suffered a defeat from Xiliang to now, and now it was a disastrous defeat.
Ma Teng on the side sighed heavily. Compared to Ma Chao, he obviously saw things more thoroughly.
"Zhongda, according to your advice, where should we go?"
Sima Yi looked at everyone and said: "At least withdraw from Sizhou to avoid being outflanked by Cao's army, which will ensure peace for a while."
Then he glanced at Ma Chao and said: "In the future, we will definitely fight Cao Jun head-on."
As soon as he said this, Ma Chao glanced at Sima Yi but said nothing. As usual, he turned around and left the commander's tent.
At this time, Ma Teng stood up with difficulty and said slowly: "It's getting late today. Order the soldiers to reorganize and rest. Let's withdraw for the time being."
After finishing speaking, he walked outside in despair.
