In the next few days, Ma Teng's army attacked the city as usual, and did not slack off at all, Han Sui led his subordinates to attack the city in order to prove his innocence, and he also worked hard to make Ma Teng feel a lot more at ease, and Cao Jun's side was also defending as usual in the past few days, but other than that, Cao Jun did not have any other special moves, and the letter seemed to have been forgotten by them and never mentioned again

The progress of the Ma Teng army's siege of the city was still slow, and there were several times when the soldiers finally captured the city, but they were finally beaten back by the defenders of Chang'an

This Chang'an city has been standing in front of the Liangzhou army as if it was unshakable

However, no matter how strong the city wall is, it is impossible to hold it all the time under the long-term attack, and Ma Teng's trip brought a full 200,000 troops, which can be said to be not afraid of consumption, although the losses of Ma Teng's army are not heavy in a few days, but they can still put more than 140,000 soldiers into the siege at this moment

The defenders in Chang'an City have also been sharply reduced from the original 50,000 to less than 20,000, and the reinforcements brought by Xiahou Yuan outside the city have also been reduced by 10,000 thousands so far

Although Chang'an City still looks indestructible, Ma Teng knows that he has seen the hope of breaking the city, and it can be said that as long as he can hold on, it will only be a matter of time before he captures the city

Now Ma Teng can't care about anything, and he can attack Xuchang before Sun Jian, and now he just wants to take the Chang'an army and get a piece of the pie when he enters Xuchang, so he will be satisfied

The only thing that made Ma Teng feel pressured was the problem of food and grass, the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops was too great, and the logistics were already a little unbearable, but for this dilemma, Ma Teng also came up with a way to deal with it

Ma Teng originally brought 10,000 Liangzhou cavalry, all of which were one-man and two-horse configurations, and now the Liangzhou cavalry has been destroyed, and the war horses have also been collected by Cao Jun, but there are still more than 10,000 military horses left on his side

Anyway, now I don't have cavalry here, and even if I do, I can't use these 10,000 war horses, and they are just idle in the barracks

Although the act of killing the war horse was bad for a soldier, Ma Teng had already seen the hope of capturing Chang'an City, and he did not allow this glimmer of hope to slip through his fingertips

Of course, if he can capture Chang'an City before the military rations are exhausted, it will be the best ending for Ma Teng, but judging from the current situation, there is still strength to resist in Chang'an City, and it is almost impossible to achieve the goal of breaking the city within a few days

Just when Ma Teng was ready to kill the military horses for food, the accident suddenly came

One day, as dusk approached, the day's siege had ended, and Ma Teng had returned to his tent to rest

Suddenly, a guard came to report and arrested a suspicious person who was visiting at the gate of the barracks, and suspected that it was Cao Jun's meticulous work

When Cao Jun heard the news, Ma Teng ordered the man to be put into the tent

"Who is you?" asked Ma Teng directly after the person who came was escorted into the big tent

"The villain is General Han Sui's old acquaintance, and I came to meet General Han Sui today," the other party replied respectfully

"You look at it like a person of low status, how can it be Wenyue...... General Han's old acquaintance: "Han Sui's old acquaintance, Ma Teng, no matter how he looks at the other party, he doesn't feel like it."

Although Ma Teng is not a wise man, he has been in a high position for many years, and there are always some people in front of him, who seem to be ordinary peddlers and pawns at a glance, and Han Sui was born in the Xiliang Shi clan, and he also has some pretentious problems, how can he intersect with such an ordinary person

"Earlier, I had a few encounters with General Han, but I didn't have too many deep friendships, but this time, I heard that General Han was fighting with Cao's army here, so I wanted to see the old man," the visitor replied in the face of Ma Teng's questioning

The man's words didn't sound too flawed, but Ma Teng always felt that something was wrong

But what's the problem?

Suddenly, Ma Teng remembered the letter that Cao Jun had sent to Han Sui a few days ago

The messenger wrote to each other, and for a while, Ma Teng seemed to have an understanding

This person lied that it was Han Sui's old friend, maybe it was Cao Jun who made this mistake to discuss the letter with Han Sui

The more Ma Teng thought about it, the more he felt that his inference was correct, and a burst of sweat flowed down his back

"Er'an dares to lie," Ma Teng calmed down his mood for a while, and suddenly shouted loudly at the man

"The little one, the little one didn't lie," the person who came was frightened by Ma Teng and said resignedly

"Do you know who I am, then?" asked Marten

"The little one, the little one, don't know the general......," the visitor said in a sincere panic, and even his tongue was a little knotted because he was nervous

Although Ma Teng is the commander of the Liangzhou Army, as the commander-in-chief, he naturally will not charge into battle in person, so many people in the Cao Army have never seen their appearance, and it is normal for them not to know themselves

If this person is really from Cao Ying, and he doesn't know himself, he probably won't know Han Sui, so he will look in front of the camp gate

"I ...... It was Han Sui," he already had a plan in his heart, and Ma Teng said so
