The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 290 Liangzhou Incident
Dongfang Sheng wanted to take the opportunity to chase and beat the dog in the water, but it was a pity that something happened in Liangzhou.

Han Sui and Ma Teng, who had been attacking each other, made peace and surrendered to the court together. The first thing they did after surrendering was to join forces to attack Dongfang Sheng.

Xiliang soldiers are good at equestrianism, there are a lot of cavalry, and their mobility is first-class, so Zhang Xiu took defensive measures as soon as the spies found out the news.

Because Zhang Xiu is originally from Xiliang and knows the tactics of Han Sui and Ma Teng quite well. They belong to the kind that sticks with you and try it. If you are weak, they will continue to attack. If you are strong enough, they will just run away.

The mobility of the cavalry provides technical support for this tactic of fighting if you can, and running if you can't.

But Zhang Xiu is familiar with this tactic, so he made arrangements in advance.

Dealing with cavalry is nothing more than one word: trap.

Using various obstacles that can immobilize the horse or tools that hinder the progress of the horse can make a cavalry become restrained.

If a cavalry is caught in the enemy's obstacles, it is already a failed attack.

Han Sui and Ma Teng suffered a small loss when they first contacted Zhang Xiu.

However, they did not give up, but waited aside, wanting to find an opportunity to continue attacking.

In this regard, Dongfang Sheng decided to take the Flying Eagle Camp to attack the camp. Of course, the most important thing is that Dongfang Sheng wants to meet Ma Chao.

Dongfang Sheng called Wang Hu and Badao over, and asked them to gather the soldiers of the Flying Eagle Camp, take a rest in advance, and prepare to attack the camp in the middle of the night.

In a leeward camp, the bonfire was in full swing, each of the military tents had been set up, and plates of meat were brought out, and the camp was immediately filled with the smell of mutton.

In the middle of a group of soldiers sat two generals wearing leather armor. The general on the left was a little younger, but he was approaching middle age, and the general on the right was older.

These two generals are Ma Teng and Han Sui respectively. There are no permanent enemies, only interests. This sentence is fully reflected in the two of them.

Not long after Han Sui killed Ma Teng's wife, they shook hands and made peace.

But a young man standing next to Ma Teng kept staring at Han Sui with hatred.

But Ma Teng chatted happily with Han Sui, and Han Sui's gray beard was still trembling with laughter.

"Brother Wen Yue has a good plan to deal with Zhang Xiu'er?" Ma Teng asked as he tore a piece of mutton and threw it into his mouth.

Han Sui smiled and said, "There is no other, but I am tired."

"Okay, let's keep harassing them to keep them from being safe, and then we can break them with one blow." Ma Teng took a sip of his wine and applauded. "I will go to Beijing soon to take up a post. The dog Ma Chao will lead my subordinate Erlang. I also hope that Brother Wen Yue can take care of the dog."

Han Sui laughed loudly and said, "Meng Qi is a promising young man, and he will surely achieve extraordinary things in the future. Don't worry, Brother Shou Cheng, I will try my best to take care of Meng Qi."

After the two finished speaking, they lifted their wine glasses and raised their necks to drink the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then smiled at each other.

"Come on, Meng Qi, give Uncle Wen Yue a cup." Ma Teng pulled the young man beside him to Han Sui and said.

This young man looks very handsome, he should have just reached the age of the crown, he is wearing a high-quality cowhide soft armor, a golden crown on his head, a lion belt around his waist, and a pair of eyes that are particularly radiant.

This person is Ma Chao, the eldest son of Ma Teng. Ma Teng has three sons, Ma Chao is the oldest, and the other two are Ma Xiu and Ma Tie.

This time Ma Teng went to Cao Cao to take up his post, intending to bring Ma Xiu and Ma Tie there so that Ma Chao could control his army.

"My nephew has met my uncle." Although Ma Chao was not happy in his heart, he had to toast Han Sui respectfully on the surface.

Han Sui didn't feel any displeasure, he still had a warm smile on his face, and no one could find a single fault.

After Ma Chao finished drinking, he stood directly behind Ma Teng and did not say a word to Han Sui.

Ma Teng's face was gloomy. He glanced at Ma Chao and was about to get angry when Han Sui smiled and said, "Come and have another drink with me, Brother Shoucheng."

Ma Teng snorted at Ma Chao, "I will leave the security of the camp to you at night!"

Ma Teng knew that Han Sui deliberately changed the topic because he didn't want to make Ma Chao look bad, but he did it to show Han Sui that he didn't deliberately target him. Of course, he also hoped that Han Sui could take good care of Ma Chao after he left.

Although Ma Teng claims to be a descendant of Ma Yuan, General Fubo of the Han Dynasty, everyone knows that he is just a famous product like Liu Bei, so he wants to join the court and get a real name. He had no choice but to swallow his anger and take his two sons to Xuchang as hostages.

Of course, his righteous brother Han Sui's idea was not for fame, but for being able to lean on a big tree safely, so he didn't think about being a hostage with the past.

After eating meat and drinking wine with their own minds, the two went back to the army tents to rest. Although they were allied forces, the camps of the two were clearly separated. Ma Teng was on the left and Han Sui was on the right.

As the night deepened, the bonfire continued to burn, making crackling sounds.

Ma Chao was bored and led his soldiers to patrol around the camp.

Ma Chao's attitude towards Han Sui couldn't change as quickly as his father Ma Teng. One moment he was a life-and-death enemy, and the next moment he could sit together, drink and eat meat, chatting and laughing.

No matter how good Ma Chao is, at this age, he can't show his emotions and anger.

"What is Daddy going to do? Why do you want to drink with the old thief Han Sui? Is the reward from the court so important?" Ma Chao shouted dissatisfied.

The soldiers around him immediately stepped forward to persuade: "My lord, don't shout indiscriminately, it would be bad if others heard it."

"Hmph, so what if I hear that, the current imperial court is just decided by Cao Cao and his fellow? What kind of imperial court is that?" Ma Chao continued to vent. "Sooner or later, I will let the old thief Cao Cao know how powerful I am!"

Seeing Ma Chao's appearance, the soldiers around Ma Chao knew that persuasion was useless, so they had to step aside.

The lord is good at marching and fighting, but he is so sophisticated about people... The soldier shook his head helplessly.

Ma Chao took a look at his surroundings by the light of the torch. Weeds were overgrown, and all of them were half-human tall.

"Tomorrow, when the grass is burned with a fire, let me see how the spies who embroidered children hide?" Ma Chao said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

After finishing speaking, Ma Chao took his soldiers and continued to go elsewhere.

The weeds that were five steps away from where Ma Chao was standing suddenly moved, and then a vigorous figure stood up from the weeds.
