Ma Teng's face was gloomy, he didn't know what Han Sui said, but if he fought with his life, could he fight for it? A Zhangye, how long have they been attacking? Behind Zhangye, but there are still countless "Zhangye", they are such a few people, even if they are exhausted, what can they do?

His mind was turning, Ma Teng's face was even more gloomy and about to drip water, he could be regarded as half his life, but he had never been as decadent as he was now, no matter how he thought about it, in the face of Dong Zhuo's behemoth, what rose in Ma Teng's heart was a kind of powerlessness and despair.

"Stand down, all of you." Suddenly, Ma Teng made a sound and kicked everyone in the room out except for Han Sui, even his eldest son Ma Chao, who he had always favored.

"Wenyue." Seeing that everyone had retreated, Ma Teng still waited for a long time before he whispered: "During this time, we were trapped in Jiuquan, it's not that Niu Fu didn't have the troops to attack again, Niu Fu is good at defending, Duan Xuan can attack, and the Xiliang soldiers can fight better than us, the most important thing is that they have the entire Yongzhou land behind them as a supplement, and there is a steady stream of soldiers, you and my brother, I don't want to hide it from you, the war has been fought so far, and now we are powerless." ”

When it comes to Xiliang, many people will think of Ma Teng and Han Sui, not only the relationship between the two is intimate, but more, the two have been the same for many years, and they have been friends for many years, and the two have not had no conflicts, and even more so, the two even turned their faces and fought for power, but after facing Dong Zhuo's coercion, the two quickly connected again, but even so, the two soldiers still belong to their own command and do not interfere with each other.

Ma Teng's words suddenly surprised Han Sui, in terms of the number of soldiers, perhaps because of his reputation, it is easier to recruit soldiers, because the number of soldiers has always far exceeded Ma Teng, but if it is about the elite soldiers, he is far inferior to Ma Teng.

Weak follow-up? What kind of serious situation must have made Ma Teng say such a thing.

The two have intersected and fought each other for many years, and they can no longer be familiar with each other, if the situation is not serious, Ma Teng would not say this anyway, not to mention, most of the first soldiers under the command of the two of them are men who grew up in the border areas, and their endurance is more tenacious than that of the soldiers in the Central Plains, even if the recruits recruited later are not of great use, there should not be any big situation, right? Thinking like this, Han Sui looked at Ma Teng for an explanation.

"You know, when we fought with Duan Xuan before, we were defeated several times, and the soldiers lost too much, so we had to recruit on the spot, but the people around here are basically Qiang people, even if it is not all Qiang blood, at least half of the bloodline is Qiang." Ma Teng sighed with a wry smile.

"At the beginning, when there were no difficulties, these people could still be used, but now, I don't know how the news of the lack of food in the army leaked out, and now in my army, except for the soldiers who followed me all the way back, now they basically have no fighting spirit, and the matter is even more serious." Sighing again, the decadence on Ma Teng's face suddenly became more obvious, and in the depths of his eyes, the tiredness that could not be concealed scattered and escaped, for so many years, Han Sui had never seen Ma Teng in such a state, and he was stunned for a while.

"The Qiang people are unrighteous, this point must be clear, at the beginning of the year, we asked the Qiang people to send troops, just because of the entanglement of interests, and now the loss of troops is not to mention, but also the food and grass they raised are consumed. The Qiang people are already short of food, which makes it even worse, and the current situation, if they can't break through Zhangye before the food is cut off, and don't need Niu Fu and Duan Xuan to send troops, the Qiang people themselves will collapse. When talking about the Qiang people, Ma Teng's eyes couldn't help flashing a coldness, obviously for the Qiang people, even if he married a Qiang **, Ma Teng still didn't have much good feelings in his heart.

"Of course, there is no war without food, this is a serious situation?" Muttering secretly, the doubts in Han Sui's heart became more, and he was silent, just looking at Ma Teng.

"If it's just a shortage of food, if you reduce the amount of food, you can support it for a while, but the problem is that now my army is almost on the verge of running out of food." As if he understood the meaning in Han Sui's eyes, Ma Teng sighed again.

Today alone, his sighs were almost comparable to the number of sighs he had in his life, and when Han Sui saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: "Perhaps, the situation is more serious than I thought." Bowing his head and muttering for a moment, Han Sui was affected by Ma Teng, and he lost confidence in his heart for a while.

Just as he lowered his head and pondered, Ma Teng suddenly scolded angrily: "The Qiang people misunderstood me, damn the Qiang people, they are all a group of white-eyed wolves who can't be raised." ”

Han Sui is not stupid, when Ma Teng said this, he suddenly thought of something in his heart, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes when he looked up, and then a wave of killing intent spontaneously arose from his heart: "Brother, does he know who he is?" ”

"Alas!" Staring at Han Sui for a long time, Ma Teng wanted to open his mouth to speak several times, but finally stopped, and the anger and killing intent in his heart finally just turned into a sigh, and the helplessness and sadness in his voice could not be concealed.

"Really?" Han Sui stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

"It's not your sister-in-law, it's your sister-in-law's family, but you also know your sister-in-law's temperament, this kind of thing let her know, I'm afraid that it will be sad, you also know that your sister-in-law's body is not as good as day by day during this time, but when something like this happens, I'm really afraid that your sister-in-law will not survive this hurdle!" Ma Teng's face was full of entanglement.

Han Sui was stunned for a moment, and then sighed.

Ma Teng's wife is a good Qiang person, but whether it is for Ma Teng or Han Sui who is married to Ma Teng, it can be said that they are doing their best, when they were driven out by Dong Zhuo last year, not only did they defeat the old bottom, but even the ambition of the two was consumed, and the two were able to regain their fighting spirit, thanks to Ma Teng's wife.

No matter when, the Qiang people have never been rich, they will not or do not want to farm, no matter how much wealth they have, they will always sit on the mountain, the two were defeated and expelled, and the poor were sent to rob them.

People are poor and short-minded, this wise saying has meaning no matter when and where, the two of them are almost nothing under the successive blows, and the two of them no longer have the intention of competing for power, but like a drunkard, they began to get drunk every day, Ma Teng's wife can't see it, and he returns to the clan alone, and the two don't know what happened, but after Ma Teng's wife returned, her clan began to pour its whole clan strength to help the two.
