Ma Teng left Guo Yan and his Eighth Cavalry Brigade in Ji County, and asked him to wait for Zhang Liao to come to rendezvous, in fact, the main thing was to avoid Guo Yan hindering him, and also shared his credit.

In any case, factions exist in any group, Ma Teng and Zhang Ji are closer, but they can't pee in the same pot as Li Dao and Guo Yan, Dong Zhuo's old subordinates.

He only brought the 7th Cavalry Brigade and the 9th Cavalry Brigade into Longxi County, and the brigade commander of the 7th Brigade was his confidant and good brother Pang De, who was naturally of the same heart with him.

The brigade commander of the Ninth Brigade is an old man from the Bingzhou Army, or a graduate of the first phase of the Shaling Military Academy, named Zhang Yang, who worked in the nomadic army of the grassland before.

The Bingzhou Army has always paid attention to obeying the command in all actions, so these fine traditions have also been passed on to the Central Army, so Zhang Yang did not hesitate to implement Ma Teng's military orders without discount.

It had been a few days since the army arrived at Didao, and Ma Teng and Pound were revisiting the old place, and they were embarrassed.

Ma Teng stayed here, mainly waiting for the men he sent out to find out the news. After Ma Teng entered Liangzhou, he felt that he had been in Liangzhou for many years and had friends all over Liangzhou, so he was not interested in Li Su's intelligence department.

Ma Teng did not take the initiative to contact the Ministry of Intelligence and ask them to provide any information, but to listen to the news through his own channels, especially Han Sui's movements.

In any case, Han Sui and he both had the hatred of killing their wives, and the revenge was not avenged, and Ma Teng vowed not to give up.

This time, he actively returned to Liangzhou, and left Zhang Liao, Fa Zheng, Guo Yan and others to work alone, in order to take revenge.

He thought that Han Sui was already a lost dog, with only three or four thousand people left, and he was unpopular, unable to replenish the people, and could not compare with himself at all.

Ma Teng's two cavalry brigades, both of which are regular armies of the CSKA, have been replaced with a full set of standard equipment.

Excellent armor, halberds, crossbows, throwing spears, horizontal knives, are really armed to the teeth, and the soldiers have also undergone strict training, full of physical fitness, fighting skills, and skillful cooperation in battle formations.

Ma Teng is a person from the past, of course, he knows the huge gap between the Xiliang cavalry and the cavalry of the Central Army, so he feels that his 10,000 people can be worth the previous 20,000 or 30,000 Xiliang cavalry.

Where did Han Sui go to get so many people, so it was very easy to eliminate Han Sui by himself, as long as he could find his whereabouts.

Soon, the people sent by Ma Teng to inquire about the news came back with good news, and the news that Ma Teng wanted the most was indeed found in Han Sui's traces.

According to reliable information, Han Sui's army lacked food and grass, and did not dare to come to Wuwei and other places, and the population of the four counties in Hexi was sparse, so it was impossible to support so many of Han Sui's troops.

Han Sui could only quietly go to Jincheng County, where he was doing food in the area of Poqiang and Anyi, and heard that he was going to Linqiang, where some Qiang tribes had a good relationship with Han Sui.

In particular, the Yueshi Hu in Huangzhong was the origin of the Beigong Boyu Rebellion, and the relationship with the Han court was extremely poor.

When Ma Teng heard the news, he was eager to fly over immediately, and he immediately ordered the whole army to attack.

Zhang Yang persuaded him whether to contact General Zhang Liao, but Ma Teng thought that the opportunity should not be lost and not come again, if the news was leaked, Han Sui heard the news and fled, and it would be difficult to find him again.

Ma Teng told Zhang Yang that if he didn't want to, he could stay in Longxi, and it would be enough for him to take Pang De's Seventh Brigade by himself.

How could Zhang Yang let him go alone, Ma Teng was his boss again, and finally compromised.

They left one regiment of the Ninth Brigade to stay in Didao, and the remaining two brigades and five regiments traveled through the starry night, crossing Taoshui, passing through Caohan, and then crossing the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and arriving at Yunwu first.

At this time, Ma Teng made a fatal mistake, he only brought half a month's dry food from Di Dao, but cut off from the logistics supply in the rear.

When the army crossed the Yellow River from Heguan, it entered the boundary of Jincheng County.

The customs here are very different from those of other counties in Liangzhou, and most of the Han people live in Jincheng, Yuzhong, Zhiyang and other counties.

There are very few Han people in the Huangzhong area, and there are more Qiang and Hu people, mainly the Xiqiang tribes and the Yueshi Hu and other tribes.

When Ma Teng's army arrived in Yunwu, the people who heard the news also came back to report that it had been confirmed that Han Sui's men and horses were in Anyi, and there were about 3,000 horsemen.

Anyi was less than two hundred miles away from Yunwu, and Ma Teng was really anxious so far, and immediately led his men and horses to attack Anyi.

He didn't have the heart to restore the government departments of Jincheng County at all, but let the leaders of the Han Hao clan who came to greet him put a cold face on their butts.

Sure enough, before he arrived in Anyi, he met Han Sui's small group of men, and after a fierce battle between the two sides, he captured a few prisoners, and learned from the captives that Han Sui was in Anyi.

Without saying a word, Ma Teng commanded the whole army to surround Anyi County, but after he surrounded Anyi, the local wealthy clan in Anyi sent people to see Ma Teng.

The person who came told Ma Teng that Han Sui had heard Ma Teng's rumors, and fled first and fled to Linqiang.

Ma Teng sent people into the city to check, and there was indeed no one from Han Sui, so he appeased the local wealthy clan and asked them to wait for the follow-up troops to receive it, and then continued to chase Linqiang.

On the outskirts of Linqiang, Ma Teng's scouts finally discovered Han Sui's camp, and the scouts on both sides had an encounter first, and the results were of course one-sided, after all, the scouts of the Central Army were all from the Dangkou cavalry.

Ma Teng was definitely an enemy who was very angry when he saw each other, and he didn't care about the fatigue of the long journey, so he rushed to Han Sui's camp.

Han Sui didn't expect Ma Teng's pursuers to come so quickly, so he only put up a little resistance, abandoned the camp, and fled west in a hurry.

Ma Teng took Pang De to chase hard, Han Sui fled all the way to the west, Zhang Yang and Pang De both faintly felt that Han Sui's whereabouts were a little suspicious, and further west was the hinterland of the Qiang people.

Most of the Qiang people there were tribes who were late in civilization and were more hostile to the Han people.

As a hero who has been fighting in Liangzhou for so many years, it is impossible for him not to know this, Zhang Yang and Pang De repeatedly reminded Ma Teng, Ma Teng was also a little calmer at this time, and he also felt a little suspicious, so he suspended the pursuit.

Unexpectedly, the next night, Han Sui led the army to steal the camp, burned a lot of camp tents, and teased and abused Ma Teng.

Ma Teng's heart was on fire, and he immediately chased after him closely, Pang De and Zhang Yang were afraid that Ma Teng would lose, so they hurriedly followed closely behind.

This time, Han Sui fled west along the Huangshui River into a large canyon, which was very wide, and the mountains on both sides were also covered with dense vegetation.

Ma Teng followed with the vanguard and chased in, Pang De and Zhang Yang tried to dissuade him, but it was too late.

It can only be Pang De who led people to follow Ma Teng, and Zhang Yang led the army to defend the valley pass, just in case.

Zhang Yang sent people to inquire around and learned from a herdsman that this place was Mucheng Valley.

A hundred years ago, Zhang Xu, the Taishou of Longxi County, as the captain of the Qiang Guard, defeated the Xiqiang army at that time.

Ma Teng chased into the Mucheng Valley, and suddenly lost the trace of Han Sui, and when he was wondering, he heard the sound of a horn, the sound of arrows, and the ambush of soldiers.

There were Qianghu people on all sides, and Han Sui also triumphantly turned back with the "remnants of the defeated army" who had desperately fled before.

"Brother Shoucheng, don't come unharmed! Unexpectedly, you will also have a day when you will fall for my Han Sui's plan! Hahahaha, aren't you known as the descendant of some horse aid? You can't even see such a simple trick to lure the enemy? ”

Ma Teng was so angry that he couldn't speak, and the wild geese were pecked by the geese all day long.
