When Han Sui in Xiliang learned that Ma Teng had fled to Hongnong and that Hongnong launched an offensive against Zhang Baiqi, he was obviously surprised and angry. It was obvious that Han Sui was very dissatisfied with this result and still gave Ma Teng such a good opportunity. Ran
Of course, this was not what surprised Han Sui the most. What shocked Han Sui most was that Cao Jun actually provided help to Ma Teng. He not only provided food and grass, but also provided a solid backing for Ma Teng to attack Zhang Baiqi.
Regarding this result, Han Sui said that he could not accept that Cao Jun was too generous. He actually treated an enemy like this and repaid vengeance with kindness. Is there such a good person in the world? Obviously, this is not an era of cannibalism. People who repay vengeance with kindness will eventually be eaten by others.
Although Han Sui was a little surprised by Cao Jun's actions, after thinking about it, he could obviously guess why Cao Jun did this. After saving Ma Teng, Cao Jun's harvest was indeed a stable Guanzhong, but Cao Jun saved Ma Teng and kept it for himself. A relentless enemy
Although Han Sui is not afraid of Ma Teng, he is also worried about it. Han Sui doesn't know what kind of agreement Cao Jun has reached with Ma Teng. When Ma Teng goes to the army, will Cao Jun assist Ma Teng and will he send troops to assist Ma Teng?
If Cao Jun assists Ma Teng, Han Sui will feel a lot of pressure. Although Cao Jun is not capable of expedition now, Cao Jun will have such an opportunity sooner or later. If Cao Jun assists Ma Teng, Ma Teng will really be even more powerful.
Fortunately, judging from the current situation, neither Cao Jun nor Ma Teng has the ability to carry out an expedition. In the middle, the princes of Guanzhong fought against Ma Teng, and Ma Teng also caused heavy losses to the princes of Guanzhong. This feud has been settled and will never be extinguished. Ma Teng, the prince of Guanzhong, obviously cannot leave Guanzhong.
But it is obviously very difficult to destroy the princes in Guanzhong, otherwise Guanzhong would not have been in chaos for so long. It is obviously very difficult for Ma Teng to capture Guanzhong. But with the help of Cao Jun, no matter how difficult it is, now Ma Teng has occupied a little territory in Hongnong. As long as Ma Teng has occupied Hongnong, which proves that he has a foothold in Hongnong. As long as Cao Jun assists in assessing Guanzhong, it is obviously only a matter of time.
However, Han Sui definitely did not hope that Ma Teng could go so smoothly. After all, Ma Teng really judged that Guanzhong would come to seek revenge on him as soon as possible that day. Although he could take this opportunity to accumulate more strength, who would think that he was more prepared?
The more prepared he is, the better he will be able to withstand Ma Teng's crazy offensive in the future. So Han Sui decided to create some difficulties for Ma Teng, at least not to let him win Hongnong so easily. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning. If Ma Teng is allowed to have such smooth sailing, If so, then it will be difficult to control it.
What is certain is that the one who is most anxious now is Zhang Baiqi suspecting that Ma Teng suddenly appeared on his territory and easily occupied part of Zhang Baiqi's land. Zhang Baiqi is not afraid or anxious. This is obviously impossible.
If he helps Zhang Baiqi at this time, Zhang Baiqi will obviously be grateful to him. He can not only gain the favor of the princes in Guanzhong but also create trouble for Ma Teng. This is a move that kills two birds with one stone. Obviously Han Sui will not let go of this opportunity.
However, it was obviously inappropriate to send troops hastily, so he had to contact Zhang Baiqi first and then find a way to transport the soldiers from Guanzhong, and also transport them quietly, so as to achieve a surprise effect.
Zhang Baiqi's face has been getting worse and worse these days. Due to Ma Teng's offensive, Zhang Baiqi obviously has no way to fight hard. If Ma Teng's Xiliang cavalry can defeat him completely, Ma Teng's infantry combat effectiveness is also quite strong. This is obviously It's not something I can compare to.
Defending the city, with the siege equipment supported by Cao Jun, he is still no match for Ma Teng's Xiliang army. It is obvious that Zhang Baiqi has reached the end of his rope, but the soldiers sent out to ask for help have no news at all. This makes Zhang Baiqi trapped. in great pain
What should he do now? Zhang Baiqi asked himself secretly, but he obviously didn't know how he should solve this dangerous situation. At this moment, a guard appeared in front of Zhang Baiqi, and with the arrival of the guard, good news finally came. It reached Zhang Baiqi’s ears
Han Sui sent an envoy, hoping to meet Zhang Baiqi. After hearing the news, Zhang Baiqi obviously smiled. Since Ma Tengjun's attack, Zhang Baiqi had never smiled. After all, he was in a close mood. Depressed for a long time
Soon Zhang Baiqi summoned Han Sui's envoy. The first thing the envoy said when he saw Zhang Baiqi was, "It can be seen that the general has not been living a good life these days. I guess there must be something difficult to solve." It’s bothering the general.”
Hearing what Han Sui's envoy said, Zhang Baiqi was obviously a little angry. It's no wonder that if it weren't for Han Sui, how could Ma Teng have cholera in Guanzhong? It can be said that he was the one who suffered, and it was indeed Han Sui who benefited.
But no matter what, my life-saving straw is still with Han Sui, because the princes in Guanzhong can no longer count on it, so if Han Sui can send reinforcements, it will definitely help me.
In any case, the hatred between Han Sui and Ma Teng is deeper than the hatred between himself and Ma Teng. The relationship between himself and Ma Teng is only about interests, but the hatred between Ma Teng and Han Sui is not only about interests.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although Zhang Baiqi is very dissatisfied with Han Sui, joining forces with Han Sui is obviously the best choice under the current circumstances. In any case, stabilizing his own territory is the first priority.
Looking at Han Sui's envoy Zhang Baiqi in front of him, he smiled bitterly, "My life is indeed not easy, but General Han Sui must not be much better off either. The hatred between Ma Teng and General Han Sui is obviously deeper than mine, if there is not a Guanzhong in the middle." I'm afraid Ma Teng will attack General Han Sui immediately."
"In this case, General Zhang and my lord have a common enemy, and that is Ma Teng." The messenger smiled strangely [
Zhang Baiqi nodded and then said: "Then let's talk about General Han Sui's sincerity." Zhang Baiqi said very directly. At this moment, Zhang Baiqi very much hopes that reinforcements will arrive. After all, he can no longer support himself.
"My general is willing to send five thousand troops to assist General Zhang in defeating Ma Teng," the envoy said loudly.
"Five thousand" Zhang Baiqi underestimated this number. It was obvious that Zhang Baiqi was somewhat dissatisfied with this number, but at this moment he obviously had room for bargaining. Anyway, five thousand troops is already a lot.
With Han Sui's five thousand troops and his own soldiers, as long as he blocks Ma Teng's attack, he can win the battle. After all, in Hongnong, he still has more knowledge than Ma Teng. If so, Ma Teng will never be his opponent.
Zhang Baiqi nodded and then heard the envoy say: "My lord said that these five thousand troops will enter the general's territory in batches. The reason why this is done is to cover up others' eyes. As long as Ma Teng's eyesight is hidden, these five thousand troops of ours will be hidden." People can suddenly appear on the battlefield. At that time, our army can attack Ma Teng's army and win the battle."
Zhang Baiqi nodded with satisfaction, but at this time the envoy changed the subject and said: "But before that, we still have to rely on the generals to defend the city to the death."
After hearing this, Zhang Baiqi cursed in his heart. If he could still withstand it, would he need to be so humble? But now, everything he said was in vain. As long as he could defeat Ma Teng, he would obviously risk his life.
When Zhang Baiqi contacted the envoy sent by Han Sui, Han Sui had already prepared five thousand troops and the vanguard had already set off. The reason for this was because Han Sui knew that Zhang Baiqi would definitely agree to the alliance, but even if Zhang Baiqi
Bai Qi disagreed that Han Sui would still send troops because he didn't want to give Ma Teng a chance.
In the camp, Ma Teng looked at the soldiers under his command with a smile of relief on his face. It was undeniable that Han Sui's rebellion had greatly damaged his vitality, but now he had a firm foothold in Hongnong. This was definitely gratifying news.
In the past few days, he led the Xiliang army to conquer three towns of Zhang Baiqi one after another. Although the three towns are relatively small, they are already very good for Ma Teng who already has territory. In any case, he has a place to live.
Not having to eat and sleep in the open made Ma Teng a lot more energetic. However, at this moment, he still dared not relax. It was obviously difficult for the three small cities to feed his 20,000 troops, especially the 5,000 Xiliang cavalry. They were the top priority, and the more elite they spent on food and money.
The more bowel movements
"Father, Zhang Baiqi has concentrated most of his troops. Judging from the looks of it, he should be planning to defend the city." Looking at his somewhat high-spirited father, Ma Chao said loudly.
Ma Teng nodded and then said in a deep voice: "Even if Zhang Baiqi gathers his soldiers, what if with Zhang Baiqi's strength, he is our army's opponent? It doesn't matter if Zhang Baiqi gathers his soldiers, it will save our army."
For many things, as long as Zhang Baiqi’s main force can be eliminated in one battle, what else can he expect?”
"Having said that, our army has to be on guard against the princes of Guanzhong. After all, our army has fought with them and severely damaged the princes of Guanzhong." Pang De said in a deep voice. Although the princes of Guanzhong are not strong, their combined strength is obviously much greater than Ma Teng's.
At this time, if the princes of Guanzhong attack their own army, it will inevitably lead to a lack of concentration of troops.
"The princes in Guanzhong are just a piece of loose sand that cannot be established. When our army takes Hongnong, we will turn around and deal with the princes in Guanzhong." Ma Teng waved his hand and said that he really doesn't like the princes in Guanzhong.
