He can only bet that Liu Bei is not actually cooperating with Cao Cao.
But even so, there was already a rift between the two.
Bai Chuan was planning to take advantage of this to break through Ma Teng's defense.
It is precisely because of this that Ma Teng cannot die yet.
"General, General!"
At this moment, the scouts sent to the front hurried back, and hurriedly arrived in front of Bai Chuan.
"Did you find anything?"
Cao Chun on the side asked in a deep voice.
The soldier said out of breath:
"General Qi, about thirty miles ahead, we found traces of the Xiliang Army!"
Cao Chun was taken aback, and immediately looked at Bai Chuan and said:
"Sir, the Xiliang army is less than thirty miles away from our army."
"If there are Xiliang cavalry, it is very likely that they will sneak attack our army."
"At this time, the army is already exhausted, and the weather is cold, and the soldiers are a little bit overwhelmed."
"Should we retreat a certain distance and recuperate?"
Bai Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
To be honest, Bai Chuan underestimated the coldness of Xiliang.
Even soldiers wearing extremely thick cotton-padded armor can hardly resist the cold.
What's more, not everyone in the 30 army has such sophisticated equipment.
Just now, soldiers who had fainted from freezing appeared.
At this time, I had to rest and prepare a bonfire to keep warm.
Xiahou Dun also said:
"Sir, these Xiliang troops may not be the only ones we found."
"If there are from all directions, once they find us and launch a surprise attack, it may be harmful to our army."
Bai Chuan shook his head and said:
"Just camp here."
Everyone looked at Bai Chuan in puzzlement.
Bai Chuan continued:
"If we retreat, the significance of our night march will not be great."
"Also, that Ma Teng didn't dare to attack."
Cao Chun was puzzled and said:
"Why are you so sure, sir?"
Bai Chuan opened his mouth slowly, and said in a deep voice:
"Because Ma Teng doesn't dare to gamble."
"He doesn't dare to take the initiative to have a frontal conflict with our army now."
"Rectifying right under their noses will have a deterrent effect on Ma Teng."
"Ma Teng's current strength is not capable of confronting our army head-on."
Hearing Bai Chuan's words, everyone suddenly became enlightened.
Yup!
There are a full 30 of my own army!
And Ma Teng's army, although there are 30, has already lost a lot in the battle of Xudu.
Moreover, after returning to Xiliang, it is impossible for him to place all his troops at Tongguan.
After all, the surrounding areas of Xiliang still need soldiers to guard against foreign raids.
Sending troops to take the initiative to attack at this time is no different from hitting a stone with a pebble.
Now, everyone understood Bai Chuan's intention of marching high-profile all the way.
It was what aroused Ma Teng's caution!
A high-profile march all the way must have been well prepared.
As if to say, hurry up and attack me.
Ma Teng is not a fool, and the situation is even more tense now. He definitely does not dare to move, and he can only watch the 30 army under his nose, and dare not act rashly.
……
At this moment, in the camp of the Xiliang army.
The camp of the Xiliang Army that Bai Chuan's soldiers found was right here.
And here is where Ma Teng, Han Sui and others are located.
The hinterland of Xiliang cannot go back for the time being.
Ma Teng knew in his heart that if he lost this battle, many tribes would doubt him after he returned.
But today Ma Teng is bedridden and extremely weak, unable to deal with them at all.
Now they can only camp near Tongguan and wait for the opportunity.
Return to Xiliang after your health improves.
At this moment, Ma Chao hurriedly came to the commander's tent, and said eagerly:
"Father, uncle!"
"There are enemies ahead!"
"Cao Cao's army has come to Xiliang, and now it is less than [-] miles away from Tongguan!"
Hearing this news, Ma Teng was excited for a moment, coughed several times, and said with a frown:
"what?!"
"Aren't they still hundreds of miles away yesterday?"
"Why all of a sudden..."
Han Sui hurriedly said:
"Shoucheng, don't get excited!"
"Although Bai Chuan said he would lead an army, he must not dare to act rashly."
"After all, he doesn't know how many people our army has ambushed!"
"If he dares to step forward, he will definitely be wiped out!"
After Ma Teng calmed down, he said:
"That's right, keep watching their movements."
Seeing that the two of them seemed to have no intention of doing anything, Ma Chao said eagerly:
"Father!"
"These guys are all here, how can I not do it?"
"They can't stand the climate in Xiliang. I heard that some soldiers have passed out from the cold."
"At this time, their morale is unstable, so they should attack directly!"
Ma Teng was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, shook his head again and again and said:
"Don't be fooled!"
"This Bai Chuan is full of tricks. Since he dared to tell us blatantly, he has already come here."
"It must have been prepared long ago."
"Don't wait for me to be careless!"
Han Sui also nodded and said:
"Meng Qi, your father is right."
"The more we get to this kind of time, the more we have to hold our breath."
"Then maybe Bai Chuan wants to take advantage of this and wait for us to fight."
"Don't be fooled! The safest way is to wait and see what happens!"
Chapter 161 "Could it be that you plan to do it?"
Hearing Han Sui's words, Ma Chao was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the two of them in disbelief.
In his eyes, Ma Teng and Han Sui have always fought a battle, and they have never been afraid.
But now, why are you so timid?
Moreover, Bai Chuan is still the biggest enemy of Xi Liang.
He was already under the nose, and the two actually said they would not fight?
However, although Ma Chao was a bit more tempered, he also knew that his father's physical condition was extremely poor at this time.
Therefore, he could only take orders and dare not say anything more.
If the father is moved, what should happen if the situation gets worse.
Thinking of this, Ma Chao could only sigh, and left with a displeased face.
After leaving the camp, Pang De hurried over, with Ma Dai at his side.
Seeing that Ma Chao's complexion was not very good, Pang De's heart tightened suddenly, and he said suspiciously:
"Why, did the lord not agree?"
Ma Chao sighed lightly, and said slowly:
"I don't know how much father is afraid of Bai Chuan."
"I haven't even said about the call for soldiers, they started to stop them, unwilling to send troops."
Ma Dai suddenly said with red eyes:
"what?"
"These Cao Jun are now under our noses, and they are all bullying us!"
"We can't just watch like this, can we?"
Pound also said with a gloomy expression:
"Yes, this is an army of 30!"
"If they start moving, the whole of Xiliang will be bleeding like a river!"
"We can't just sit and wait!"
Ma Chao frowned:
"No!"
"Father said that Bai Chuan acted like this on the surface, just to make it clear that he wanted me to be fooled."
"If you send troops without authorization, I'm afraid it will make your father unhappy."
Since Ma Teng fell ill, Ma Chao seemed to have grown up overnight, and his edges and corners had been worn away.
Now, he only hopes that his father can get through this.
Ma Dai frowned, and said in a deep voice:
