Chapter 251: Snipe and Clam Fight

Compared to Han Sui's anger and panic, there was joy in Jincheng.

In the courtyard where Han Sui was stationed, Ma Teng set up a banquet to celebrate the celebrations with everyone.

In addition to Ma Teng's confidant generals, there were two new faces on the table. You may have guessed that, yes, these two people were Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou who betrayed Han Sui.

After three rounds of drinking, Ma Teng came to Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou. Seeing this, the two of them quickly stood up and saluted.

Ma Teng laughed and said, "It is up to the two of us that our army can successfully capture Jincheng. Come on, I wish you a cup of the two generals." After speaking, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine.

Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou showed a flattering expression, quickly raised their glasses to greet Ma Teng, and then drank them all in one go.

The three of them put down their wine glasses, looked at each other, and laughed.

Ma Teng returned to the main seat and sat down, then said to Beigong Boyu: "General Beigong, I will leave this Jincheng to you in the future!"

Beigong Boyu showed joy and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Lord Governor! I will definitely guard the good Jincheng for Lord Governor!"

"Okay! I'll feel relieved with General Beigong's words!"

After a little pause, Ma Teng turned his gaze to Li Wenhou, "General Li."

"Sir, Governor." Li Wenhou hurriedly left his seat to salute.

Ma Teng smiled, "General Li doesn't need to be so reserved, sit down."

"yes."

"General Li, you will be my right camp general and follow the battles around me, how about?"

Li Wenhou hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Governor, for your love!"

Ma Teng laughed, then raised his glass and said to everyone: "Today, I will never return drunk!"

All the generals quickly agreed.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and most generals were drunk.

Due to the rebellion of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, Ma Teng easily captured Jincheng, and Ma Teng's army expanded to nearly 60,000 people, which does not include Ma Chao's army.

As for the current situation, there will be no threat between Jincheng and Longxi, so Ma Teng only released 5,000 troops in Longxi.

After a few days of stopping in Jincheng, Ma Teng personally led a 50,000 army westward, preparing to annihilate Han Sui with Ma Chao. The accompanying generals included Ma Wan, Pang De and other confidants, and Li Wenhou, the newcomer who had just joined the account. Only 5,000 men were left to guard Jincheng. The guard of Jincheng was Beigong Boyu, but Ma Teng also arranged a trusted general Cheng Yin as the deputy, nominally assisting Beigong Boyu. In fact, he was also responsible for monitoring Beigong Boyu. We can't blame Ma Teng for doing this, because Beigong Boyu rebels and loyalty remains to be tested.

Ma Teng led an army of 50,000 to advance westward. This information was soon learned by Han Sui.

Han Sui was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Once Ma Teng's army arrived, Han Sui basically had no chance of turning over.

How did things turn out like this?! Han Sui couldn't help but sigh so much.

Looking at the generals and aides under the tent, Han Sui asked anxiously: "Who can you deal with the current situation?" His eyes were full of hope.

Everyone looked at each other, then lowered their heads one after another, and each responded to Han Sui.

Han Sui couldn't help feeling disappointed and yelled for the first time: "What's the use of you guys, what do I want you to do?"

Everyone showed shame and their heads hanged even lower, but there were also a look of sarcasm flashing across several people's faces.

Han Sui sat down with a solemn expression and his eyebrows were deeply locked.

The tent suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere was very depressing.

After a moment of dullness, Han Sui's candidate for trusted general suddenly stepped out and said, "General, why don't we ask the general to mediate?"

Han Sui was stunned, then his eyes opened and his face showed excitement, "Yes! Why did I forget the general! The general is in charge of the world's troops, and he has the reason and strength to mediate!"

He stood up suddenly and immediately asked to give an order. However, someone raised objections at this time.

"General, our strength is greatly reduced now. I am afraid that the Northern Army will take the opportunity to annex us!" The person who spoke was Liang Xing, who was also Han Sui's confidant general.

As soon as Liang Xing said this, Han Sui hesitated...

What Liang Xing said is not unreasonable.

At this time, the election said again: "If the Northern Army of Zheng does not come forward, then we will have only one way to die; and if the Northern Army of Zheng comes forward, the Northern Army of Zheng only has the possibility of annexing us. Please judge the pros and cons of the gains and losses in it."

Han Sui was shocked, nodded, then glanced at the generals and said resolutely: "As General Hou said, I decided to send someone to ask the general for help immediately!"

Hearing Han Sui's words, many generals under the tent breathed a sigh of relief.

After distributing the tent, Han Sui sent an envoy, who was his confidant candidate.

The candidate brought a team of cavalry and Han Sui's handwritten letters.

Looking at the backs of the candidates' group of people leaving, Han Sui was feeling a little solemn, and at the same time he was filled with hope.

Ma Teng's army was moving very fast, and it approached Longyou five days later. At this time, Han Sui had already led his army to build a camp in accordance with the mountain. It was obvious that he planned to rely on the danger to defend. However, what Ma Teng didn't understand was why Han Sui chose to defend. He originally thought that Ma Teng would either surrender or flee north.

After Ma Teng joined Ma Chao's army in Longyou, he surrounded Han Sui's camp and set up camp.

Ma Chao proposed to attack immediately, but Ma Teng did not accept it. Ma Teng first sent an envoy to Han Sui camp, intending to persuade Han Sui to surrender.

However, things went against my wishes, and soon after, the messenger's head was sent back.

Ma Teng was furious and immediately ordered the army to attack.

Ma Teng's army began to launch wave after wave of strong attacks.

After several days, Han Sui's camp had become riddled with holes. The corpses of soldiers on both sides were covered with the camp, and the yellow mud became bloody and mottled.

Ma Teng sat in the position of commander, listening to the casualties reported by his subordinates, his heart couldn't help but feel a little painful. In just six days, his army paid the price of 6,000 casualties.

Ma Teng severely broke a wooden stick and said coldly: "It seems that Han Sui is planning to spend the rest with us!"

Ma Chao, who was in the left hand, frowned with a look of annoyance, but he did not rush to ask Ma Teng for battle as usual. In the past few days, he has been cursing in front of the formation, trying to curse Han Sui out of the battle with him, but Han Sui seemed determined to be a turtle, just ignore his insult. Ma Chao couldn't help feeling that a mouse pulled the turtle and had nowhere to start.

Everyone was silent and could not think of a good idea.

At this moment, the gatekeeper hurriedly ran in with a very urgent look.

Seeing this, Ma Teng couldn't help but frown.

As soon as the gate general entered the tent, he knelt down and replied: "General, the general has sent an envoy!"

Ma Teng was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Please please!"

"Yes." The gatekeeper of the gate turned around and retreated immediately.

"What does Chen Chu send someone here at this time mean?" Ma Chao asked with a frown. Everyone showed a confused expression.

At this time, Ma Teng looked worried and said, "The messenger must have come here to mediate our disputes with Han Sui."

"He said mediate, and he really treated himself as a general!" Ma Chao shouted dissatisfiedly.

But the others did not look like Ma Chao, and their expressions seemed a little solemn.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you feel scared when you hear Chen Chu's name?" Ma Chao was very dissatisfied with everyone's performance.

Everyone knows Ma Chao's temperament, so they don't take Ma Chao's words to heart. However, there is one exception. This person is Pang De, who is second only to Ma Chao in the Western Liang army. Pang De's face looks a little ugly, but he doesn't say anything.

"Enough! Meng Qi, sit down for me!" Ma Teng scolded unhappily.

My father said something, but Ma Chao didn't dare to disobey. He was so angry that he sat back.

At this time, Ma Teng said again: "After the messenger comes, you must not be rude!"

Ma Chao did not make any sound.

Ma Teng couldn't help frowning, slapped the table, and shouted, "Did you hear it?"

Ma Chao was startled, his face turned blue and red, and finally he clasped his fists at Ma Teng and said, "Father, I won't do anything randomly." His tone was very reluctant.

Ma Teng couldn't help but sigh. He could understand Ma Chao's mood, but with their current strength, they could not conquer the Northern Army at all...

In confrontation, they have to look at people's faces.

A moment later, the envoy of the Northern Army, led by the gatekeeper of the Yuan Gate, entered the tent. This envoy was an old acquaintance to Ma Teng, who was Li Su and Li, who often sent envoys to Ma Teng.

"General Li, don't be fine!" Ma Teng clasped his fists at the other party with a smile.

Li Su smiled and replied with a kind look on his face.

Ma Teng quickly ordered someone to bring a chair and stool next to him, and then asked Li Su to sit down.

Seeing this, Ma Chao, who was on the left, glanced at the corner of his mouth and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"General Li, what's going on here?" Ma Teng asked.

Li Su clasped his fists at Ma Teng and said, "I will not hide it from the governor. I will follow the order of the lord to mediate the dispute between the governor and General Han."

Ma Teng couldn't help but say intently: Sure enough.
