Hearing this answer, the scribe opposite Ma Teng obviously showed a look of relief. He smiled, and then said, "I think you will be glad for this decision, General. Ma Teng was glad that the scribe didn't know, but he knew that his goal had been achieved.

Ma Teng, on the other hand, showed a wry smile, his smile was obviously unusually bitter. This time sending troops is definitely the biggest shame in my life, I came to attack Cao Jun, but what I didn't expect was that this was the situation, and I needed Cao Jun's help to continue to live.

But what can be done about this, if it weren't for his bent crusade against Cao Jun, he wouldn't have encountered this dilemma. Everything was fate, but Cao Jun didn't fall into the ground, which surprised Ma Teng a little. However, now is not the time to be grateful to Cao Jun, and the primary purpose now is to take root in Guanzhong.

Although Ma Teng thought so, he had a big problem in front of him, that is, because he didn't have much grain and grass in his hands. Even if it is frugal, there are not a few days for Ma Teng's army to consume.

The scribe stood up, he looked at Ma Teng with a smile, it was obvious that he saw Ma Teng's heart and then said: "General Ma doesn't need to worry, in view of the current situation of your army, our army is willing to provide you with the food and grass that the army needs for January!" ”

Hearing this news, Ma Teng was naturally very happy. But the more this is the case, the more suspicious Ma Teng's heart becomes, but now is not the time to think about this matter, if he can't get the grain and grass supported by Cao Jun, then he can only hate Yu Hongnong.

"Cao Jun is so sincere, then I will gladly accept it!" Ma Teng said loudly, now he is waiting for these grains and grass to live, but it is not the time to be polite.

The scribe nodded, and then said, "It's getting late, so I'll go back first." With that, the scribe gave Marten a salute.

Ma Teng obviously didn't expect the scribe to be in such a hurry, but Ma Teng was obviously more anxious than the scribe. The 20,000 army is waiting for food, how can he not be in a hurry. So Ma Teng just thought about it for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then I won't force Mr. to stay!" ”

The scribe obviously knew that Ma Teng was in a hurry more than himself, so he smiled at Ma Teng, and then turned and walked out of Ma Teng's tent. Out of Ma Teng's camp, the scribe went straight to Hangu Pass.

At dawn the next day, a large amount of grain and grass escorted by a team of Cao soldiers appeared outside Ma Teng's camp. When Ma Teng learned the news, he was obviously even more shocked. Cao Jun's efficiency is really fast enough, and it has only been long before grain and grass have appeared in his camp.

However, these grains and grasses can be regarded as solving their urgent needs, and with these grains and grasses, Ma Teng has the confidence to attack Hongnong. In any case, Hongnong was captured first, and then the entire Guanzhong was captured. After gathering the entire Guanzhong forces, he has the ability to go to Han Sui to take revenge.

"Father, what's going on?" Ma Chao came to Ma Teng's side and asked. Obviously, Ma Chao was obviously puzzled about the source of grain and grass. He obviously didn't know who had given this cart of grain and grass to his army. At this time, is there still anyone sending charcoal in the snow?

"Alas......" Ma Teng let out a long sigh, his long sigh was obviously full of helplessness. Looking at Ma Chao, Ma Teng said in a deep voice: "These grains and grass were sent to our army by Cao Jun, in the hope that our army can defeat Zhang Baiqi and capture Hongnong!" ”

"Cao Jun will have such good intentions, is this a conspiracy of Cao Jun?" After listening to Ma Teng, Ma Chao's first thought came to mind. This does not mean that Ma Chao is suspicious, and others still have to think so, after all, everything came too suddenly, and Ma Chao was not given time to think.

Ma Teng was obviously very pleased that Ma Chao thought so, but he sighed again, and then said: "Cao Jun does have a conspiracy, but I know what can be done. Without these grains and grasses, would our army be able to capture Hongnong in a short time? ”

"Moreover, Cao Jun's conspiracy is also to use our army. For Cao, a stable Guanzhong is obviously more important than a chaotic Guanzhong. If such a guanzhong is under his control, it will be better for Cao Jun. ”

"The reason why Cao Jun funded our army was to hope that our army could contain the princes of Guanzhong. After Cao's army captured Hebei, it needed to recuperate, and after recuperation, Cao's army would target Jingzhou. Guanzhong is dispensable for Cao Jun, so this is also an opportunity for our army. ”

Ma Chao nodded when he heard this, and then asked again: "Father, did Han Sui's villain really take Liangzhou?" ”

Hearing this, Ma Teng's face showed a trace of anger, and then he nodded and said, "Judging from the situation these days, this matter should be a fact. It's all my fault, knowing that Han Sui is a wolf, and he actually joins forces with him. ”

Ma Chao was unusually angry, and his handsome face was full of hideousness due to anger. "Han Sui, a despicable and shameless villain, one day, I will definitely stab this villain, I want to make him worse than dead!" Ma Chao roared angrily.

Ma Teng's mood is not as bad as Ma Chao's, but Ma Teng knows that with his current strength, it is absolutely impossible to take revenge. Or take advantage of the current accumulation of strength, and when you have the strength, there is obviously no problem in wanting to find Han Sui for revenge.

"Okay, now what our army needs to do is to occupy Hongnong, and with this territory, our army has the ability to support 20,000 soldiers. Our army can't always count on Cao Jun, otherwise our army will always be Cao Jun's puppet! Ma Teng said in a deep voice. He is not a person who is willing to be ordinary, so he really doesn't want to be subject to Cao Jun all the time, so when he has the strength, he has to break away from Cao Jun.

"Cao Jun is just a villain who robs while the fire is in time, as long as I have the strength, I will change my army and go east and destroy him Cao Cao!" Ma Chao said angrily, but Ma Teng stopped Ma Chao with his eyes. Now is not the past, I was not afraid of Cao Jun before, but now I need the food and grass given by Cao Jun to continue to live. If the Cao army is now cut off from the supply of food and grass, what should he do with his 20,000 people.

Moreover, now that Cao Jun has occupied the righteousness, it is Cao Jun who helps him in his most difficult time. And when he regains his strength, he will turn his head and attack Cao Jun again, which makes the world see him. Saying that he is an ungrateful villain, Ma Teng really can't afford this title.

Looking at Ma Chao, Ma Teng shook his head and said, "In my lifetime, there will definitely be no more wars with Cao Jun." Although Cao Jun's actions were a bit villainous, they did help our army tide over the difficulties. If there is no food and grass for Cao's army, how should the 20,000 soldiers of our army live? Could it be that the soldiers are robbing food and doing the bandits' work? ”

Ma Teng's words made Ma Chao's face change, and it was undeniable that Cao Jun's behavior made him feel disdainful. But Cao Jun did help his father, if it weren't for Cao Jun's help, then his 20,000 army would only be able to be bandits, and he would have to be the kind of bandits who slaughtered the people.

Ma Chao is very proud, he will definitely not do such a thing. But if you don't do this, what should you feed the soldiers under your command? It can be said that Cao Jun saved himself and the soldiers under his command in disguise.

Ma Chao is almost the same as Ma Teng, he is the same person who knows how to repay his kindness, Cao Jun saved himself, and he owes Cao Jun a great favor. If he doesn't repay this kindness, Ma Chao obviously has no way to attack Cao Jun, which is a headache.

Just when the two fathers and sons, Ma Chao and Ma Teng, were talking about everything, the scribes who appeared in Ma Teng's camp yesterday reappeared. The scribe looked at the two fathers and sons, and then said in a deep voice: "The grain and grass have arrived, and these grain and grass are enough for the 20,000 soldiers under General Ma's command for a month. Moreover, my husband knew that General Ma lacked siege equipment, so he specially sent some under the name of the place, and hoped that the general would accept it! ”

The scribe's words surprised both Ma Teng and Ma Chao, but they didn't expect Cao Jun to prepare so thoroughly. Not only did they send food and grass for themselves, but they also sent siege equipment, which was really a relief in the snow.

Siege equipment Ma Teng's army was not without it, but in the encirclement of the princes of Guanzhong, in order to break through, Ma Teng could only abandon those bulky siege equipment. Without siege equipment, it is obviously very difficult to capture Hongnong if there is no siege equipment.

With Cao Jun's grain and grass, and Cao Jun's siege equipment, Ma Teng is obviously more and more confident in conquering Hongnong. Ma Chao once fought with Zhang Baiqi's soldiers, Zhang Baiqi didn't seem to be the opponent of the Xiliang Army, since this was the case, then he was polite to Zhang Baiqi.

The day after Cao's grain and grass were transported into Ma Teng's camp, Ma Teng began to launch an offensive against Hongnong. Now that he has Cao Jun's support, there is obviously no problem in gaining a firm foothold in Guanzhong.

After Zhang Baiqi learned the news that Ma Teng had a direct connection with Cao Cao, he sat down on the seat. Zhang Baiqi's face turned pale, and it was obvious that he was very worried about this matter.

Now Ma Teng's offensive is very fast, and without paying attention, Ma Teng conquers a town. Although this town is not very important to him, it also represents the prelude to Maten's attack.

Ma Teng's Xiliang Army is so powerful, and now he has the backing of Cao Jun. With his own strength, how can he be comparable to Ma Teng.

At this moment, Zhang Baiqi's stomach was full of bitter water, and he obviously didn't know how to describe his mood. Ma Teng's offensive was fierce and he had been prepared, but he still occupied one of his towns for a short time.

It can be seen that his soldiers are definitely not Ma Teng's opponents. Now that it has reached the point of life and death, looking at Ma Teng's meaning, he obviously does not occupy Hongnong and vows not to give up.

Now he obviously can't defeat Ma Teng on his own, so he can only ask for help. But like who asked for help, and whether it was really reinforcements or attracted jackals, Zhang Baiqi was obviously not sure about this. But he knew that the princes in Guanzhong were all jackals.
