Ma Han coalition army, Ma Teng's camp tent, looking at the letter in his hand, Ma Teng's face is not much better than yesterday when Dian Wei came all the way back, the letter was sent by a fellow villager, the other party was a military marquis under Chen Mo, and received an arrow book when he was guarding the camp during the day, he did not hand it in immediately but opened it to see, after hesitating for a long time, he still took advantage of the night to go out of the camp and send the letter to Ma Teng.

It's not that I haven't doubted the authenticity of the letter, it is very likely that it is Chen Mo's discord plan, but there is still a little pimple in my heart.

It's a really bad fight.

"Lord!" A personal guard came in and smiled at Ma Teng: "The young general is back!" ”

"Oh?" Ma Teng's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "Let him come to see me." ”

"Whoa!"

Soon, Ma Chao took Ma Dai to Ma Teng's tent, describing a little embarrassed, originally Ma Chao wanted to take advantage of Chen Mo's army outside, attack Ji County to cut off Chen Mo's back road, but Ji County is heavily garrisoned, and Ji County's defense is far from being comparable to Pingxiang, with these remnants in Ma Chao's hands, it is not easy to break through Ji County, not to mention that Chen Mo still has a large number of cavalry to patrol the grain road, Ma Chao has no chance to take advantage of it, so he can only take a detour, it took three more days to come, and the 10,000 Qiang warriors he brought when he set out on the expedition were ambushed by Zhao Cen on the way, Ambushed by Tai Shici, attacked Pingxiang and then went straight to Ji County, many escaped, and now Ma Chao brought back less than 3,000.

With Ma Chao's prestige and achievements in Xiliang, this is really a bit miserable.

"Is Tai Shi Ci really so powerful? Can't even my son win? Ma Teng looked at Ma Chao with some incredulity, he naturally knew the name of Tai Shi Ci, before Chen Mo conquered Xiliang, the three lines of defense placed on the border, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Ci is the general who garrisons this Longxi area.

Ma Teng thought that it would not be too easy to deal with the characters who could be ranked with Xu Rong and Hua Xiong, but it was unexpected that Ma Teng could almost defeat Ma Chao on the frontal battlefield.

"Although he took advantage of the ambush, but that Tai Shi Ci is really not under the child." Ma Chao nodded, in front of his own Lao Tzu, there is no need to be strong, whether it is martial arts or commanding troops to fight, Tai Shici is quite good.

Ma Teng was a little irritable, originally Ma Chao came back, and he also wanted his son to kill the prestige of the Guanzhong Army, but first a Dian Wei, now this Tai Shi Ci doesn't look ordinary, at this moment, Ma Teng can feel the strength of Chen Mo's command, even if Ma Chao is in his hands, he may not be able to get benefits.

"Father, although Pingxiang is occupied by Na Tai Shi Ci, as long as Chen Mo can be defeated here, this battle will be the victory of our army, and wait for the child to recuperate for two days, and then personally lead the army to attack the camp and break the enemy camp!" Ma Chao re-energized and said, although Tai Shi Ci is powerful, Ma Chao doesn't believe that Chen Mo can be stronger than Tai Shi Ci? It's just a little more famous.

"Don't be reckless!" Ma Teng shook his head, looked at Ma Chao and said, "Now that the situation is unclear, I don't have to be good at making claims." ”

Li Kan's matter is a lump in Ma Teng's heart, this is not only Li Kan's attitude, will it also be Han Sui's thoughts? Ma Teng didn't want to be sold by Han Sui like Beigong Boyu in the past, after all, this guy had a criminal record.

Ma Chao looked at his father with some doubts, now that the soldiers and horses have been arranged, the two armies are facing each other, and there is nothing unclear.

Meng first looked at the letter. Ma Teng hesitated, but still handed the letter to Ma Chao, after all, now that Pang De is not around, there is no one who can discuss countermeasures, Ma Chao has now reached the championship, and has made a great reputation, it is time for him to participate in some decisions.

After Ma Chao read the letter, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Why didn't my father personally question that Han Sui?" ”

"I'm not sure if this is Li Kan's intention or Han Sui's intention!" Ma Teng shook his head and sighed, if there is still Han Sui's meaning behind this, I am afraid that he will have to turn his face directly tomorrow, this battle has not yet been completely fought, the two families will act first, wouldn't it make Chen Mobai cheap?

"But with such suspicion and mutual suspicion, how can this battle be fought?" Ma Chao asked rhetorically, this question seemed very simple to him, take it out and confront it face to face, depending on Han Sui's attitude.

"Even if it's Li Kan's intention, do you think Han Sui will kill him?" Ma Teng asked rhetorically.

"That's nature!" Ma Chao said as a matter of course, this is already a betrayal.

"Things in this world are not so simple, although my son is detached in martial arts, but in other things, he has a little less knowledge, Li Kan is a general under Han Sui, if Han Sui really beheads Li Kan, then Li Kan's troops will definitely defect, Han Sui's rear is in chaos, how to continue to fight?" Ma Teng shook his head, his eldest son is a good hand at fighting, but when it comes to the intrigue between the princes, it is too much worse.

"If Han Sui had this intention, he would definitely argue that this was Chen Mo's plan to disentangle, and he did not rule out this possibility, this letter cannot be taken out at present." Ma Teng said with a headache.

Ma Chao was a little dizzy by what Ma Teng said, and finally didn't think about it at all, looked at Ma Teng and said, "I don't know what my father means......"

"Pretend not to know first, and send someone to secretly monitor Li Kan and Han Sui, if they really have the intention of surrendering, I should make plans as soon as possible." Ma Teng sighed.

"Father is saying......" Ma Chao looked at Ma Teng.

"First strike!" Ma Teng said categorically, if Han Sui really had the heart to surrender to Chen Mo, then he couldn't be given a chance to betray the alliance.

"The child understands, so he will arrange for someone to spy on him." Ma Chao nodded in understanding, and there was even a little excitement in his eyes, compared to Chen Mo, in fact, Ma Chao hated Han Sui more, and the relationship between the two families was never as harmonious as it seemed.

"No need, just pay attention to Li Kan to see if he is active in combat, as well as Han Sui's military arrangements in the past few days." Ma Teng shook his head, at this time, if you send someone to investigate, you will definitely not be able to find it, after all, even if it is the Qiang army, there are military regulations, you send people to run around in other people's camps, and they will cut it directly, and you don't even have a place to reason.

"This ......" Ma Chao frowned, what can be found out here?

"Go ahead and do it, my father will teach you how to look in the next few days." Ma Teng shook his head and motioned to Ma Chao to do this, as for how to look at it, this has to be taught slowly, a person's mouth can lie, but behavior can't lie, this truth sounds simple, but if you really do it, you really can't do it without some life experience, otherwise Han Sui wouldn't have eaten so much in Xiliang.

"Whoa!" Ma Chao nodded in agreement, and said goodbye to Ma Teng to arrange things.

On the other side, the camp of Luomen, Chen Mo's tent.

"Lord, the letter has been sent, I don't know what ...... next" Xu Shu looked at Chen Mo and said.

"Just wait, this is a lie, the best way is to let him guess for himself, I am now also within the scope of Ma Teng's suspicion, so no matter what I do now, it will arouse Ma Teng's suspicion, it is best to do business as usual, let him guess by himself, what people are best at is to find other people's shortcomings, don't say that Han Sui and that Li Kan have ghosts in their hearts, but no, Ma Teng can find out the suspicion!" Chen Mo said with a smile, he has a lot of research on people's hearts, and he is full of lies, so he can deceive children, and some knowledgeable people can't deceive.

"The lord is clever." Xu Shu smiled bitterly.

"In addition, inform the generals of all armies that they only need to hold on during this time, and no one is allowed to leave the camp without the general's order." Chen Mo looked at the weather outside the tent and said, "This winter is better to defend than to attack." ”

Xu Shu nodded, he knew that Chen Mo was waiting for the fighter, and now when the combined forces of Ma Teng and Han Sui were in full swing, Chen Mo had few soldiers, and if he took the initiative to attack, he would suffer heavy losses, so Chen Mo needed an excellent fighter.

In the next few days, the Ma-Han coalition army still came to attack the camp every day, but neither the momentum nor the combat power were as strong as the first day, which was of course due to the Qiang army itself, but on the other hand, Ma Teng was suspicious of Han Sui and was unwilling to go all out, and Han Sui was also thinking about preserving his strength so that Ma Teng could consume more.

Ma Chao saw it in his eyes and felt even more suspicious.

"Father, the child found that Han Sui had been using soldiers all these days to avoid casualties, and he was unwilling to do his best to burn the elite soldiers of the department, and he didn't move at all these days, and it was clear that there was a ghost in his heart!" Ma Chao came to Ma Teng's tent and frowned at Ma Teng.

Burning Dang is Han Sui's main force in the Qiang people, and it is also because of Han Sui's support and help that Burning Dangqiang has become a strong clan.

In Ma Chao's opinion, this is not suspicious at all, but is used to deal with them when he is preserving his strength and preparing to turn against them.

Ma Teng frowned and nodded, in fact, all along, the two families cooperated, and Han Sui fought like this, letting the vassal forces go to death, and then sending the elite up in the decisive battle, and waiting until after the war, not only can they enjoy the fruits of victory, but they can also take the opportunity to completely pocket those vassal forces.

Even so, now Ma Teng is really worried that as Ma Chao said, Han Sui is preparing to kill himself.

"There is no conclusive evidence at the moment, so we just need to take precautions, and don't do it for the time being." Ma Teng said in a deep voice, if you do it now, it is equivalent to completely handing over Longxi, Anding and other places to Chen Mo, even if he destroys Han Sui, his power will not grow too much, but he will have to face Chen Mo alone.

As long as he hasn't torn his face yet, Han Sui will carry Chen Mo with him.

"Whoa!" Ma Chao is a little resentful, these days, many people have said that he is not worthy of his name, which makes Ma Chao want to cut people.

On the other side, in Han Sui's camp, Li Kan frowned and looked at Han Sui and said: "Lord, the Ma family has been quite strange these days, not only Ma Chao rarely appears on the battlefield, but the broken people and horses have also been taken back now, and the people who attack the camp are vassals of all ethnic groups, relying on these soldiers and horses to attack the camp, when will the camp be able to break through?" ”

Han Sui nodded when he heard this, he also knew about this, but it is estimated that he is not angry that he has always retained the elite, so he will follow suit, and thought about it: "Let the Qiang soldiers go into battle tomorrow, if he still refuses to send troops, I will personally go to him!" ”

"Whoa!"
