Jincheng County, Han Sui's prefect's mansion.

"Lord, Ma Teng is here with his men!" Cheng Gongying hurried in and said to Han Sui.

"What?" Han Sui frowned and stood up and said, "How many people did he bring?"

"There are tens of thousands of soldiers!" Cheng Gongying said with a serious expression.

"What's crazy about Ma Shoucheng!" Han Sui's face turned ugly. He didn't think that Han Sui came here with so many soldiers to visit, so he walked out: "Go and see! What seal is Ma Shoucheng sending?"

Although I had thought about annexing Ma Teng, the two sides were evenly matched, and the Ma family's sons were very powerful. When Ma Chao was twelve years old, he had a conflict with Yan Xing. Although he was almost beaten to death by Yan Xing, Yan Xing was not feeling well at that time. You know, Yan Xing was already eighteen at that time. Now Ma Chao is adult, and he swept the Qiang with a big gun, which is quite prestigious among the Qiang people. In addition, although Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and Ma Teng's congregation Ma Dai were not as brave as Ma Chao, they were all powerful generals who could fight well. If it were not necessary, Han Sui really didn't want to start a war with Ma Teng at this time.

Soon, Han Sui and his generals came to the top of the city and saw Ma Chao and his men shouting under the city.

"Nephew Ma Chao, what's the point?" Han Sui took a deep breath and made his face look as kind as possible.

"Bah, old thief, please marry me!" Ma Chao pointed his gun at Han Sui and said, "I have known for a long time that you are not a good person. I don't want to take away the tributes of the Western Regions. My father came to strangle you, a rebellious thief, by the order of the court!"

Tribute from the Western Regions? The imperial court?

Han Sui was stunned at first, then reacted, his face turned pale in an instant. Others seemed to be Ma Teng coming to find fault, but he knew that this was the one Changan took action!

But he couldn't figure out why Ye Zhao was looking for the Ma family rather than himself? As long as Ye Zhao was willing, he could present Xiliang to Chang'an like the Ma family!

Tributes from the Western Regions...

Han Sui looked at Ma Chao and suddenly understood that Ye Zhao wanted to let him spit out all the things he had swallowed before, together with him? Moreover, there was no need to even move a soldier! Ma Teng was a brave and reckless man and could not see clearly the power of this, but Han Sui was called the Nine Curves of the Yellow River, and there were a lot of twists and turns in his heart. He could see through the other party's plan at a glance, and his sinister thoughts were very sinister.

"Nephew, you won't understand some things. Please come forward and talk to Brother Shoucheng. I want to tell him some things." Han Sui looked at Ma Chao and said.

Since Ye Zhao wants to kill all the people, don’t blame him for counterattacking. At worst, he can escape from the Western Regions and occupy a country to become king. Although it is not as prosperous as the Han Dynasty and does not have the wealth of money and water today, at least he will not be plotted by Ye Zhao.

"Want to see my dad? OK!" Ma Chao's handsome face had an unruly smile and pointed a gun at Han Sui and said, "By defeat me!"

"Ma Mengqi! You are so arrogant!" Although Han Sui was angry, he still endured it. However, Yan Xing, the son-in-law, suddenly became furious and grabbed a bow and arrow and shot it at Ma Chao.

Yan Xing's bow is a three-stone bow, not the kind made by the Shengong Camp. This kind of bow requires a huge pulling force and a long range. Yan Xing opened the bow, and the arrow cluster broke through the air, instantly crossed the void and headed straight for Ma Chao's face.

Ma Chao was prepared for a long time. He groaned and raised his head. Arrows passed through the sky above his face. Then he started to do it again, and laughed and said, "Is that right? This general came today just to kill you. If you don't fight back, it will be meaningless!"

"My nephew, you..."

"Father-in-law, why bother talking nonsense to him? This little beast doesn't listen to the good words at all. Defeat him first!" Han Sui wanted to say something, but Yan Xing, who was standing beside him, interrupted.

Without Han Sui saying anything, Ma Chao had already begun to attack the city. The arrow clusters of both sides briefly gathered in the air and then shot to the other party's camp.

There were not many defenders in Jincheng, and Ma Chao came suddenly. For a moment, Han Sui was suppressed by Ma Chao and could only defend passively. Yan Xing had already ordered people to light the beacon, and they just needed to persevere until the reinforcements arrived.

Han Sui felt something was wrong. Ma Teng was not just this kind of people. His previous conversation with Ma Chao made Han Sui basically sure that Ma Teng was not in the army. Since he was going to tear his face apart, where was Ma Teng now? If the troops he arranged on various sides were intercepted by Ma Teng, then even if he won in the end, how much money could he have left?

And there is another point. Even if he is not prepared for Ma Teng, he will be blind in the two counties along the way when so many soldiers come. If he is caught, how can he escape and report the news?

However, Han Sui didn't have to think about these issues. If he didn't light the beacon, there would be only 3,000 troops in Jincheng. Ma Chao's offensive was like a tiger and there were no reinforcements. Han Sui really didn't know whether he could defend it. In the end, Han Sui decided to save his life first. As for the others, he could only talk about it later. If the city is gone, he could plan again. If the soldiers are gone, he could recruit them again, but if his life is gone, it would be all over.

Fortunately, following Ye Zhao to drink soup this year has really earned him a lot of money. Many of these money have been used by him to equip the army. Since he cannot expand his army, he will work hard on the equipment of the army. Although there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses left by Jincheng, they are fully armed with leather armor, inner armor, and new weapons. With the support of the city, although Ma Chao attacked fiercely, it is difficult to break for a while.

Ma Chao did not participate in the siege, but led a team of cavalry to command the war around him. This time he came prepared and Han Sui was careless. He didn't think that Ma Teng would turn against him at this time. Even if he wanted to turn against him, he should be himself, so Ma Chao brought his troops to the city before he could notice it.

Looking at the battlefield from ten miles away, countless people rushed to the city like ants from all directions, and shouting to kill him could still be heard even though they were ten miles away.

The fire continued to light up, and more and more beacons were ignited, and the entire Jincheng looked like a whirlpool.

On the hill ten miles away, a small wave of people stood here. Li Ru held a cup of wine, looked at the battlefield, and took a sip of wine from time to time, as if he was admiring his masterpiece.

When Ye Zhao sent troops, Li Ru had already begun to plan Xiliang. Han Sui and Ma Teng, only one family could survive, and the losses must be heavy enough to achieve the expected results of Ye Zhao. Whether Han Sui or Ma Teng, if he brought too many troops to join Ye Zhao, it would be an army with insufficient control.

Now Ye Zhao is leading troops to fight, whether it is Xu Rong or Guan Yu, although he can command the army, all the troops are obeyed Ye Zhao. Ye Zhao's orders have absolute authority. When the generals contradict Ye Zhao's orders, the army will be inclined to Ye Zhao's side without hesitation.

This is also why these troops were sent to the battlefield after surrendering the Xiliang army of Li Jue, Guo Si, Duan Wei and others.

Ye Zhao did not allow troops under his command to appear without Ye Zhao's control, so the Ma family army or the Han family army was never allowed to exist. Under Ye Zhao's rule, if there must be a private armed force, it could only be the Ye family army.

Therefore, Li Ru persuaded Ma Teng.

In fact, Li Ru hesitated between Ma Teng and Han Sui. Although Han Sui likes to cheat his teammates, Ye Zhao did not intend to reuse him. Now Ye Zhao is full of talents, and the younger generation of talents are also emerging. Han Sui has the ability, but with the power under Ye Zhao, there are too many people who can replace him.

The reason why Li Ru finally chose Ma Teng was that Li Ru had considered a lot. First, Han Sui intercepted a large number of Western Regions resources without hiding Ma Teng. As long as this matter is exposed, innate hatred will be placed there. On the contrary, if Han Sui had any intention, he could share some of the benefits to Ma Teng, and he could instantly win back this friendship and continue his good brothers.

Secondly, compared to Han Sui, who was twisting around his belly, most of the Ma family had a very long brain muscle development and was easier to convince. This is the case. After Li Ru made it clear that Han Sui used the business path provided by Ye Zhao to make profits for himself without telling Ma Teng's stomach, and then helped Ma Teng analyze the possible future development direction of Han Sui, Ma Teng, under the instigation of Ma Chao, finally chose to join Ye Zhao.

Of course, the premise is to kill Han Sui first.

Li Ru said that Ma Teng was so stupid that Ma Teng was so stupid that he would fight with Han Sui. Most of the two were Qiang tribes. If they were in a fight, they could weaken the power of the Qiang tribe to a certain extent. In the future, naturalization of the Qiang tribe will be less obstacles.

Last point, when Li Ru inspected both sides, he found that although Han Sui's troops had not increased, his military equipment was at least one level higher than Ma Teng. If Han Sui was asked to attack Ma Teng, he might directly achieve the crushing effect without intention. Then the previous plan would be difficult to implement, and it might even help Han Sui grow stronger.

Starting from Ma Teng's side, there was no such concern. Li Ru spent a lot of effort to subdue Han Sui's two county magistrates and cut off Han Sui's eyes and ears. Then Ma Teng, Ma Tie, Ma Xiu and Ma Teng's general Pang De led a group of troops to attack several important towns under Han Sui, while Ma Chao led his own army to directly attack Jincheng.

If Ma Teng came, he might have been fooled by Han Sui, but Ma Chao would not be able to do so. It is not that Ma Chao is smarter than Ma Teng, but based on the information, Ma Chao had no favoritism towards Han Sui, and it could even be said that he was disgusted with Jincheng. There would be no reconciliation between the two sides.

"Sir, when will we do it?" Gu Cheng stood beside Li Ru, looking at Jincheng, who was filled with war, and asked.

"Don't worry, your mission is to kill Han Sui when necessary. This person must not be kept. The others will be left to Ma Teng's people to deal with." Li Ru thought for a while and said, "In addition, notifying General Fang Yue over and taking over Xiliang may have some problems, and the army needs to be suppressed!"
