At this time, another general suggested temporarily withdrawing the army, and this time, Han Sui agreed.

The sound of the golden bell on behalf of the retreating troops immediately sounded, and the besieging troops immediately retreated.

This is the end of a siege battle.

In the next few days, Han Sui learned his lesson and did not give Ma Chao another chance. After attacking for five days in a row, they failed to attack Longyou, and the losses on both sides were not small. At this moment, there were less than 40,000 people left in Han Sui's 60,000 army, and Ma Chao's men and horses were only in their early 10,000s.

After that, Han Sui seemed to have lost the sharpness of the attack, and he no longer attacked Longyou as quickly as he did a few days ago.

As the days passed, Han Sui had been unable to open the situation in Longyou, and the soldiers' fighting passion seemed to have been exhausted. Han Sui couldn't help but start thinking about the issue of retiring from the army.

At this moment, very bad news came from Jincheng. Ma Teng actually captured Jincheng.

"What? How is this possible? Han Sui shouted with a look of disbelief on his face. It is no wonder that he is like this, because Ma Teng's army in Longxi is less than 30,000 people, while the defenders of Jincheng have 40,000 people, and it is impossible for Ma Teng to capture Jincheng.

"What the hell is going on?" Han Sui asked urgently.

The bloodied general replied with a look of resentment: "Ma Teng led his army to attack Jincheng ten days ago, and the last general wondered at that time, how could Ma Teng be so unwise to attack Jincheng, whose strength was superior to his? It turned out that Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou had already secretly communicated with him and colluded with each other!

"What did you say? Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou colluded with Ma Teng? How is this possible? The

general said urgently: "It's true! Seven days ago, Ma Teng's army was stolen into the city from the south gate guarded by Beigong Boyu, and in the subsequent melee, the last general also saw Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou attacking us together with Ma Teng's army!

After hearing these words, Han Sui's complexion changed several times, and it was very ugly, and in the end, he only heard him roar angrily: "Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, I will definitely break your corpses into ten thousand pieces!"

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

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

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

After three rounds of drinking, Ma Teng came to Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, and the two hurriedly stood up and saluted when they saw this.

Ma Teng laughed and said, "Thanks to the efforts of the two of them, our army can take Jincheng so smoothly." Come, I'll give you a glass to the two generals. With that, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine.

Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou showed flattered expressions, and hurriedly raised their glasses to Ma Teng, and then drank them all.

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

Ma Teng returned to the main seat and sat down, and then said to Beigong Boyu: "General Beigong, in the future, this golden city will be handed over to you!"

Beigong Boyu showed joy, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, Lord Thorn Shi!" I will guard the Golden City for Lord Thorn Shi!

"Good! With General Beigong's words, I am relieved! After

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

Lord Thorn." Li Wenhou hurriedly left his seat and saluted.

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

Yes."

"General Li, you will be my right battalion general, and you will be on my side with the expedition, how about it?"

Li Wenhou hurriedly bowed: "Thank you Lord Thorn Shi for your love!"

Ma Teng laughed, and then raised his glass to everyone: "Today, I will not get drunk or return!" The

generals hurriedly agreed.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and most of the generals were very 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, a figure that did not include Ma Chao's army.

As far as the current situation is concerned, neither Jincheng nor Longxi will pose any threat, so Ma Teng only released 5,000 men and horses in Longxi.

After Ma Teng stopped in Jincheng for a few days, he personally led an army of 50,000 to the west, preparing to annihilate Han Sui together with Ma Chao. The accompanying subordinates included Ma Wan, Pang De and other cronies, as well as Li Wenhou, a newcomer who had just surrendered to the account. Only 5,000 men and horses were left to guard Jincheng, and the guard of Jincheng was Beigong Boyu, but Ma Teng also arranged for a cronie to make Cheng Yin his deputy, nominally assisting Beigong Boyu, in fact, he also had the task of monitoring Beigong Boyu. Ma Teng can't be blamed for doing this, because Beigong Boyu rebelled, and his loyalty has yet to be tested.

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

Han Sui was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, once Ma Teng's army arrived, he Han Sui basically had no possibility of turning over.

How did it turn out like this?! Han Sui couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Looking at the subordinates under the tent, Han Sui asked anxiously, "Which of you has a way to deal with the current situation?" His eyes were full of hope.

Everyone glanced at each other, then lowered their heads one after another, and no one responded to Han Sui.

Han Sui couldn't help but feel disappointed, and for the first time he yelled out of character: "You rice buckets, what use do I want from you?" The

crowd looked ashamed, their heads lowered, but a few had sneers on their faces.

Han Sui sat down, his face solemn and his brows furrowed.

The big tent suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

After a dull moment, Han Sui's cronies suddenly came out and said, "General, why don't we ask the general to mediate?"

Han Sui was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes opened with excitement, "That's right!" How did I forget the general! The general is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and he has the reason and strength to mediate! He

stood up sharply, and even though he was about to give the order. At this time, however, some people raised objections.

"General, our strength is greatly damaged now, I am afraid that the Northern Army will take the opportunity to annex us!" It was Liang Xing who spoke, and he was also Han Sui's cronies.

As soon as Liang Xing's words came out, Han Sui immediately hesitated, what Liang Xing said was not unreasonable.

At this time, Xuan said: "If the Northern Army does not come forward, then we will only have a dead end; And if the Northern Army comes forward, it is only possible for the Northern Army to annex us. The benefits and disadvantages are still up to the general to judge.

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

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

After the account was dispersed, Han Sui sent an envoy, who was his confidant candidate.

Hou Xuan brought a team of cavalry, as well as Han Sui's handwritten letters.

Looking at the backs of the group of candidates, Han Sui's mood was a little solemn, and at the same time full of hope.

Ma Teng's army marched very fast, and reached Longyou in five days. At this time, Han Sui had already led his army to build a camp along the mountain, and it was obvious that he intended to defend it by relying on danger. 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, and Ma Teng first sent an envoy to Han Sui's camp, intending to persuade Han Sui to surrender.

However, it backfired, and soon after, the head of the messenger was returned.

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

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

For several days, Han Sui's camp had become full of holes, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides covered the front and back of the camp, and the yellow mud ground had become mottled with blood.

Ma Teng sat in the handsome seat, listening to the casualty figures reported by his subordinates, and 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 slammed a wooden stick and said coldly, "Han Sui seems to be planning to spend it with us to the end!"

Ma Chao, who was on the left side of Ma Teng, frowned tightly, with a look of annoyance, but he was not in a hurry to ask Ma Teng for battle as usual. In the past few days, he has been scolding in front of the battle, trying to scold Han Sui out to fight him, but Han Sui seems to be determined to be a turtle, just ignore his insults. Ma Chao couldn't help but have a feeling of 'rats pulling turtles, nowhere to start'.

Everyone fell silent, unable to think of a good way.

At this moment, the general hurried in. He looked very urgent.

Seeing this, Ma Teng couldn't help frowning.

As soon as the general entered the big tent, he knelt down and said, "General, the general has sent a messenger!"

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

Yes." The general agreed and immediately retreated.

"What does Chen Chu mean by sending someone at this time?" Ma Chao asked with a frown. Everyone looked dazed.

At this time, Ma Teng's face was worried, and he said, "The envoy must have come here to mediate our dispute with Han Sui.

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

The others were not like Ma Chao, and their expressions were a little dignified.

"What's wrong with you? Why was it that when he heard Chen Chu's name, he was so frightened? Ma Chao was very dissatisfied with everyone's performance.

Everyone knows Ma Chao's temperament, so they didn't take Ma Chao's words to heart, but there is one exception, this person is Pang De, who is second only to Ma Chao in the Xiliang Army. Pound's face was a little ugly, but he didn't say anything.

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

When his father spoke, Ma Chao didn't dare not listen, so he held back his anger and sat back.

At this time, Ma Teng said again: "Later, the messenger is coming, you must not be rude!"

Ma Chao was silent.

Ma Teng couldn't help frowning, patted the case, and shouted, "Did you hear that?"

Ma Chao was startled, his face turned blue and red for a while, and finally hugged his fist at Ma Teng and said, "Father, I won't mess around." The tone was very reluctant.

Ma Teng couldn't help but sigh, he could understand Ma Chao's mood, but with their current strength, they couldn't compete with the Northern Army at all, they had to look at people's faces.

A moment later, the envoy of the Northern Army entered the big tent under the guidance of the general Yuanmen. This envoy is an old acquaintance of Ma Teng, that is, Lieutenant Li Su and Li, who often send envoys to Ma Teng.
