Ma Teng only sent the vanguard cavalry to test Dong Shouye this time, and did not carry out the charge of the whole army.

Ma Teng is not stupid, he has always had reservations about Han Sui, if he loses too much in the battle with Dong Shouye, I am afraid that the happiest person is not Dong Shouye but Han Sui. When the time comes, the first person to stab Ma Teng is Han Sui, and Ma Teng, who has suffered a great loss of power, is afraid that he will be swallowed up by Han Sui immediately.

Both of them started out as rebels, and they were not good birds, and they were always on guard against each other.

This is also the reason why Dong Shouye only let Zhang Liao lead a part of the cavalry to fight, both sides have reservations and are unwilling to tear their faces. They all wanted to leave a little room for negotiations at a later date.

Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future.

At this time, Yang Feng, who was beside Dong Shouye, saw that his master did not order the pursuit, and he had to say goodbye when he had a big opportunity, so he couldn't help but feel very anxious, so he said: "Childe, right now, the shape is very good with our army, but why don't you order to take advantage of the victory to pursue and win more?" ”

Dong Bai smiled when he heard this, and said secretly: "Yang Feng's vision is still a little worse. But he explained: "Ma Teng's strength must not be lost too much, otherwise there is a risk of being annexed by Han Sui." If these two forces are combined, it will not be a good thing for our army. ”

After saying that, he didn't continue to speak, but lowered his head and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.

After Yang Feng listened, there was still a look of confusion in his eyes.

Jia Xu next to him explained: "When two tigers compete, hunters will be happy." If there is only one tiger, the tiger will concentrate on attacking the hunter! ”

There is a way that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, but there are two tigers on the ground of Xiliang, Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Xiliang only has so many resources, and the two are bound to fight for their own inventory. If the strength of the two is equal, then the fight will be exciting. If one side suffers a significant loss, the balance of power between the two sides will be broken, and the previous balance will not be maintained, and the weak side will only be swallowed up by the strong side.

And Dong Shouye didn't want Han Sui and Ma Teng to form a rope, so he had to try his best to maintain the balance of strength between the two sides, avoid one being swallowed up by the other, and let them fight for a while, so that it would be beneficial for Dong Shouye to operate Xiliang in the future.

Dong Shouye was stunned for a while, and then ordered: "Pass on the order of the prince, and the whole army will set off immediately to pursue Ma Teng's army." However, the army only needs to follow behind them, do not catch up, do not kill. ”

As soon as this strange order was given, the army set out in pursuit of Ma Teng.

The direction of Ma Teng's escape was under the city of Ji County, and this guy obviously wanted to make plans after meeting with Han Sui.

At this time, Han Sui was commanding the troops to attack the city, and his progress on this side was also very unsmooth. Although the city guards do not have a lot of experience in defending the city, they have been steadily improving under the training of Ma Teng and Han Sui. This may be the positive impact of Han Sui and Ma Teng's siege!

Han Sui lost a lot of soldiers and horses under the city of Ji County, even more than the soldiers and horses lost by Ma Teng just now. However, Ma Teng's loss was cavalry, and Han Sui's loss was only infantry, and in general, the losses of both sides were half a catty and eight taels, about the same.

Han Sui was depressed due to the loss of a lot of soldiers and horses, and when he saw it, Ma Teng led the soldiers and horses over, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed: "Didn't this guy go to stop Dong Shouye?" Why did you come back so soon? Could it be that he has been defeated by Dong Shouye, it won't be so fast! Dong Shouye's combat power is too strong! ”

How could he know that Ma Teng was also a slippery head, and when he saw that it was not good, he immediately walked away.

After Ma Teng saw Han Sui, he said: "Brother Wen Yue, Dong Bai'er's combat strength is extremely powerful, and the younger brother is not his opponent, so I have come to ask Brother Wen Yue for help, and after meeting with Brother Wenyue, I will fight with Dong Bai Xiao'er." ”

When Han Sui heard this, he immediately understood, of course, this old fox would not make his words clear. He responded, and then said: "Brother Shoucheng, I can't hide it, Han Mou's progress in this Ji County is also very unsmooth, and he has lost a lot of soldiers and horses. ”

When Ma Teng heard Han Sui say that his soldiers and horses had also lost a lot, his heart finally settled down.

For Ma Teng and Han Sui, the most terrifying thing is not how strong Dong Shouye is, but that after the forces under his command are damaged, they will be swallowed by Han Sui. The greatest danger in their eyes is their allies.

This is a bloody lesson, in the Xiliang Rebellion that the two experienced, this kind of thing happened every day, and the reason why these two people were able to get to this day was because they stabbed their allies in the back.

People who are not strong enough will not be able to survive in the ** land of Xiliang at all.

After Han Sui and Ma Teng rendezvous, they neither dared to stay in place, nor did they dare to send troops to fight against Dong Shouye. They were afraid of being attacked by the enemy on their backs, and were flanked by Dong Shouye and the defenders in Ji County.

He led the army back to the camp to make another plan.

Generally, soldiers pay attention to one thing, avoiding reality and making up for nothing.

You must know that the current Han Sui and Ma Teng are both lost soldiers and their morale is not high. On the other hand, Dong Shouye led the army, but he won consecutive battles, and he was high-spirited, and he was invincible.

At this time, if Han Sui and Ma Teng rashly chose to fight Dong Shouye, I am afraid that they would suffer a lot of losses, and they might even lead to a great rout of the whole army, and even more strictly would even lose their lives in this battle.

Although the two of them were determined to retreat temporarily and avoid Dong Shouye's troops, Dong Shouye would not let them go.

Dong Shouye led the army to chase for a distance, but did not achieve any effective killing, and the results were not objective at all.

However, at this time, Dong Shouye's strategy was not to focus on killing, but to try to maintain the status quo and maintain peace in Xiliang for a period of time. After Dong Shouye's father, Dong Zhuo, crossed the historical mark, it was really a good time to send troops to Xiliang.

At that time, Dong Shouye will be able to free up his hands to eradicate all the rebel forces on the ground of Xiliang, stabilize the rear of the Xiliang army, and then start to fight for hegemony in the world.

The current strength of Han Sui and Ma Teng is not high, and in the eyes of Dong Shouye's father and son, it is just a disease of scabies, and the operation in Chang'an City is the top priority.

However, today's Dong Shouye is not without gains, in the battle against Ma Teng, he captured hundreds of horses in Ma Teng's army, but his own casualties are minimal, basically it can be said that there are zero casualties.

Of course, there are reasons for the elite soldiers and horses under Dong Shouye, but the main reason is that after Ma Teng was beaten by the cavalry under Dong Shouye, he did not have the courage to organize a counterattack, but chose to retreat in the first family.

And Ma Teng's retreat is also its cunning.
