As Guo Jia's wedding came to an end, Zhao Fei obviously became relaxed. Now that the Cao army has no major battles, although the surrounding princes are not very quiet, they rarely put their ideas on the Cao army, after all, the Cao army is not only effective in combat, but also powerful.

Although Cao Jun is now unable to organize a major offensive, this does not mean that Cao Jun has lost its combat capability. Now Cao Jun is a sleeping tiger, although it seems to be gentle, but if you really want to annoy him and wake it up, then its ferocity is obviously not something you can bear.

Of course, not everyone dared not provoke this tiger, just like Ma Teng in Liangzhou, he was obviously not afraid of Cao Jun's tiger. Ma Teng is not only not afraid of the tiger of Cao Jun, he obviously wants to move this tiger, if you want to chase the reason, Ma Teng is a loyal minister of the Han family.

Although Ma Teng has a self-respecting army in Liangzhou, he obviously still has the Han Dynasty in his heart, and he still has the emperor Xiandi in his heart. Ma Teng was loyal to the Han family, during the Li Guo ** period, Ma Yu and others in the court connected Ma Teng and Han Sui to crusade against Li Guo and the two, Ma Teng led his troops to attack Chang'an, Ma Yu and others were defeated and killed, Ma Teng finally had no choice but to retreat.

And now is the period when Cao Cao controls the imperial court, Ma Teng has the intention to save the Han family and the fire and water, but his idea obviously cannot be realized, after all, Liangzhou and Xuchang are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, even if Ma Teng has some strength, it is impossible to take his soldiers all the way to Xuchang.

When Cao's army was on an expedition to Hebei, Ma Teng wanted to take the opportunity to attack Cao's territory. However, it was stopped. The reason why Ma Teng was stopped was that Cao Jun had a large army attacking and annexing the state. If Ma Teng ventured in, he might be blocked by Cao Jun.

Besides, let's not talk about anything else, just a few checkpoints in front of the Xiliang army are not something that the Xiliang army can conquer if they want to. After all, the Cao army, which occupies a favorable position, will have stronger combat effectiveness, and in the Xiliang army, cavalry is the most important combat power, and it is also the most elite combat force. Using cavalry to attack heavily guarded enemy checkpoints is an act of hitting a stone with an egg.

In addition to this reason, the complicated situation in Guanzhong obviously gave Ma Teng a headache. For example, today, the most chaotic place is Guanzhong. It's a time of chaos, and it's painful for people from all walks of life to compete with each other. The situation in Guanzhong is chaotic, and if he moves rashly, the princes of Guanzhong will naturally not easily let their army go. If there is a delay here, Cao Jun is afraid that he will have already made preparations, and then the sneak attack of the Xiliang Army will obviously become a bubble.

For the Xiliang Army, solving the situation in Guanzhong is obviously the best way. But this is not something that I want to solve by myself, and there is a reason why Guanzhong is chaotic until now. Although the princes of Guanzhong crusaded against each other, when they encountered an invasion by foreign enemies, they were able to release their previous suspicions and jointly send troops to deal with foreign enemies. The strength of a prince may be small, but it is not so much when many people are connected.

Moreover, Liangzhou is obviously not the only one who says it, his sworn brother Han Sui is also from Liangzhou, and his power is no worse than his own. Moreover, although Han Sui and Ma Teng are sworn brothers, the relationship between the two is obviously getting worse and worse.

The two forces are in Liangzhou, and in order to develop their own forces, the forces of the two always meet. The meeting of the two forces caused friction between the tribes, and at the beginning, the two could tolerate each other, but as time progressed, it was obvious that things would not always develop on the good side.

And as the friction between the bends became more and more intense, the relationship between Han Sui and Ma Teng obviously became tense. Now that Ma Teng's army is still there, Han Sui may not tear his face, but if Ma Teng's army leaves Liangzhou, it is obviously impossible for Han Sui to still talk so well.

Although Ma Teng and Han Sui are sworn brothers, both of them are obviously wary of each other. The land of Xiliang is so big, if the two want to develop their own power, then they must swallow one of them, and both of them are obviously unwilling to be swallowed by the other.

It was for one reason after another that Ma Teng's idea eventually became a bubble and finally burst. However, as a loyal minister, he obviously would not give up, he first ordered people to operate in Guanzhong, hoping that the princes of Guanzhong could make a way for him, and then he began to persuade Han Sui.

In order to prevent Han Sui from sneaking up on him during his crusade, the best way was obviously to drag Han Sui into the water as well. In this way, two people who are equal in strength do not have to be afraid of who will sneak up on whom, nor do they have to fear who will be against whom.

However, persuading Han Sui is obviously a very difficult approach, after all, Han Sui is a very ambitious person, such people often have a great appetite, and they can't easily satisfy such people, so in order to persuade Han Sui, Ma Teng obviously racked his brains.

In Ma Teng's opinion, the only way to move Han Sui to send troops is to give him his own territory, in this case, Han Sui will definitely send troops without saying a word. But Liangzhou's territory is its own foundation, and if it really loses its foundation, it really has no way to live.

However, Ma Teng has another idea, that is, he can really occupy Xuchang, and if he is the emperor, it is obviously a good choice to occupy Xuchang, after all, Xuchang is a country and the foundation of Cao's army, and its value is obviously not comparable to those cities in his territory.

Cao Jun can take credit for a Xuchang city and occupy such a large piece of territory, so why can't he be. He occupied Xuchang, not only to protect Emperor Xian, but also to develop his own power, after all, Liangzhou has no future at all.

Ma Teng made a promise with this, as long as Han Sui sent troops with him, if he occupied Xuchang, he was willing to withdraw from Liangzhou and give all his territory to Han Sui, and Han Sui obviously did not refuse Ma Teng's attention, he gladly accepted Ma Teng's opinion.

Although Han Sui felt that Ma Teng's attention was really not a good suggestion, Han Sui had his own ideas. In any case, Han Sui coveted Ma Teng's turf, and now is obviously a good opportunity.

Of course, Han Sui's so-called opportunity was not to help Ma Teng ask her to sell her life. Instead, he was going to take advantage of Ma Teng's expedition to Cao's army to secretly take Ma Teng's territory.

In Han Sui's opinion, Ma Teng's move is to find death, judging from Cao Jun's strength, is he something you Ma Teng can fight against. Not to mention anything else, but Cao Jun's army of more than 100,000 is not something that you Ma Teng can easily deal with, and your little strength is not enough to give Cao Cao a tooth jam.

Not to mention your Ma Teng's little strength, even if the entire Liangzhou army poured out, it may not be the opponent of the Cao army. Not to mention occupying Xuchang, if your Ma Teng army can take Hangu Pass, it will already be a great victory. And how far Hangu Pass is from Xuchang, taking Xuchang is simply a fool's dream.

Seeing that Han Sui agreed to his request, Ma Teng was obviously very happy, and then, there was good news from Guanzhong, and the princes of Guanzhong were willing to make a way for Ma Teng to attack Cao's army. Of course, if Ma Teng has any bad intentions, then don't blame their ruthless men.

Ma Teng was obviously very happy that the Kwantung princes were able to make a way for him, but as for the ill intentions, Ma Teng obviously did not have this idea. He doesn't want the land in Liangzhou anymore, how can he go back to pay attention to Guanzhong.

And in terms of the level of chaos in Guanzhong, these people are obviously not rippled enough, after all, you don't know when victory will break out. Either you will attack me, or I will attack you. Therefore, Ma Teng didn't want to fall into this whirlpool and couldn't extricate himself, let alone attack Cao Jun at that time, he might perish.

Everything was good news, and Ma Teng fortunately began to prepare to attack Cao's army. After all, the Cao army is strong and strong, even if it is in the Luoyang generation, the Cao army has a lot of soldiers, if you want to capture Xuchang, then Luoyang must be captured first.

Although Luoyang had been burned by Dong Zhuo and plundered the land of Gyeonggi, Cao Jun obviously did not give up Luoyang. Although Luoyang burned, it was not burned down in a fire, and on the original basis, it was obviously not a problem to rebuild Luoyang City.

With a large number of people, the strength of the Cao army, and the addition of some soldiers and civilians, Luoyang City soon regained some vitality with the help of the Cao army. And with the revival of Luoyang City, the land of Gyeonggi has also begun to become popular. And with this reason, Hangu Pass has obviously become particularly important.

Hangu Pass is one of the earliest Xiongguan fortresses built in Chinese history, and its defense level is comparable to the Tiger Prison Pass, the first pass in the world, so if you want to conquer Hangu Pass, Ma Teng needs to be fully prepared, otherwise, he can really only sink into the sand.

Ma Teng had been preparing for several months, and then he was fully prepared. In order to conquer Hangu Pass, Ma Teng prepared his old bottom. This battle is related to his Ma Teng's net worth, if this battle fails, Ma Teng will not be able to continue to gain a foothold in Xiliang.

Hearing this news, Han Sui was obviously very happy. In addition to secretly scolding Ma Teng for being a fool, he was obviously very happy in his heart, he was ready, as long as Ma Teng sent troops to Hangu Pass, he would have a way to occupy Ma Teng's territory.

Although Han Sui had already prepared for this, he obviously didn't expect that this opportunity would come so quickly and so easily. Let Ma Teng go to death, so he doesn't have the spare time to fight Cao Jun.

If the real enemy is Cao Jun, although Cao Jun will not attack immediately, Cao Jun will obviously not let go of himself easily. Han Sui is self-aware, he didn't occupy a Liangzhou by himself, so why should he compare it with Cao Jun.

Occupying Liangzhou is the first step in his plan, take this step first, and the rest of the things need to be done slowly, after all, it is impossible to drop pies in the sky, and it is not possible to be careless in the troubled times.
