Not long after the envoy sent to Han Sui successfully completed the mission, the envoy sent to Ma Teng also successfully completed the task, and his task was mainly to coordinate the attack rhythm with the Xiliang army.

The Northern Army and the Prefecture Legion marched very fast, and arrived at the foot of Tianshui City on the seventh day after departure. At the same time, Ma Teng's Xiliang army had also entered the city of Longxi and began to attack the city.

At this time, although Dong Zhuojun's morale was already very low, Dong Zhuojun did not give up resistance. In the process of attacking Longxi City, the Xiliang army suffered great losses.

At the same time that the Xiliang Army was attacking Longxi City, in the big tent of the Northern Expedition Army outside Tianshui City, hundreds of miles away, Lu Bu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Mr. Wenhe, we've been here for a few days! When did the siege begin?

Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu, who was fidgeting, and said with some amusement: "Fengxian doesn't need to be anxious, when the time comes, Tianshui will naturally be ours!"

"Sir, you say it easy, can I be in a hurry? Do you know that the Xiliang army under Longxi City is storming Longxi City day and night, and if this development continues, they will capture Longxi City sooner or later! At that time, our northern army will have no face!

Jia Xu smiled, stood up, pressed the restless Lu Bu to his seat, and then said, "Feng Xian is right! But don't worry, this won't happen!

Lu Bu looked up at Jia Xu, who looked confident, and asked suspiciously, "What is the best plan for sir?"

Jia Xu smiled mysteriously and replied, "Feng Xian will naturally know when the time comes!"

Lu Bu rolled his eyelids dissatisfied, "You scholars like to play tricks!"

Hearing Lu Bu say this, Jia Xu couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled a little embarrassed. Lu Bu is really good, Jia Xu is selling Guanzi.

The Xiliang army attacked Longxi City for five days in a row, and although it suffered heavy losses, it still did not capture Longxi City. In this case, Ma Teng was a little relentless, he was worried that his strength was too much to consume.

Although Ma Teng was a little shaken, Ma Chao strongly demanded to continue attacking Longxi City. Ma Chao thinks that Dong Zhuojun is already at the end of the crossbow, and as long as he persists, he will definitely be able to capture Longxi City.

At Ma Chao's insistence, the Xiliang army continued to storm Longxi City. Finally, on the tenth day, Dong Zhuo's army in Longxi City collapsed in the wave of attacks of the Xiliang army.

As soon as the city gate of Longxi was broken, Ma Chao personally led the cavalry into the city. Ma Chao rushed to the front, riding a horse and wielding a gun, unstoppable! Wherever Ma Chao's war horse passes, there will always be a rain of blood! No one can stop Ma Chao, no one can catch Ma Chao's shot!

Dong Zhuojun, who was still resisting, quickly collapsed under Ma Chao's blow like a storm.

The battle lasted until the night of the same day, and after paying a considerable price, the Xiliang army finally cleared out the stubborn Dong Zhuojun in Longxi City. The main general, Niu Fu, escaped from Longxi City with only a few dozen followers.

In this battle, the Xiliang army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, while Dong Zhuo's army also suffered about 30,000 casualties, and nearly 20,000 were captured. It should be mentioned here that 20,000 of the 30,000 casualties of the Xiliang Army belonged to the Ma Teng Ma Chao line.

After the Western Liang Army captured Longxi, Ma Teng immediately summoned the generals to discuss the military.

"Now that our army has captured Longxi, what should we do next? Let us share your opinions. Ma Teng said first.

As soon as Ma Teng's words fell, Ma Chao stood up and suggested: "Father, our army is currently in full swing, and we should take the opportunity to wave our army east to take Tianshui!"

Ma Teng frowned, didn't say anything, thought for a moment and then turned his head and asked Han Sui: "Wenyue, what do you think?"

Han Sui glanced at Ma Chao, and then hugged his fist at Ma Teng and said: "What our army agreed with the Northern Army is to take Longxi as the demarcation line, and the west of Longxi belongs to our Xiliang Army, and the east belongs to the Northern Army." If we march and capture Tianshui, what will Big Brother do? "。 Han Sui's words are very interesting, he actually asked Ma Teng to make a multiple-choice question, whether to turn his face with the Northern Army for the sake of immediate interests, or to abide by the covenant.

Before Ma Teng could answer, Ma Chao raised his voice arrogantly: "Captured Tianshui, of course it belongs to our Xiliang Army!"

Han Sui smiled slightly, and did not respond to Ma Chao's words, but looked at Ma Teng.

Ma Teng pondered for a while, and finally raised his head and said, "Our army is an ally of the Northern Army, how can we be treacherous. Our army will send troops to the east tomorrow, aiming to help the Northern Army capture Tianshui!

Han Sui smiled and nodded, while Ma Chao was taken aback.

"Father, why do we make wedding garments for others?" Ma Chao's expression looked very unconvinced.

"Meng Qi, how can you say that? Our army has an alliance with the Northern Army, and it should be observed! Ma Teng said with some displeasure.

Ma Chao was still unconvinced, and wanted to argue, but before he could speak, he was blocked by Ma Teng, "Meng Qi, you don't need to say it anymore!" I've made up my mind!

Ma Chao couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but he couldn't disobey his father's order, so Ma Chao sat down with a depressed face.

Han Sui on the side saw Ma Chao deflated, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

At this moment, Ma Teng ordered: "Wenyue, you immediately go down and give an order, gather 50,000 troops, and prepare to set off tomorrow!" "

Yes, big brother." Han Sui immediately stood up and promised. The reason why Han Sui called Ma Teng the eldest brother was because the two were sworn brothers.

After Han Sui received Ma Teng's order, he retreated.

Although Han Sui advised Ma Teng not to turn his face with the Northern Army, Han Sui actually had other plans in his heart. Han Sui originally wanted to use this opportunity to provoke Ma Teng's relationship with the Northern Army, but he thought about it, the current situation of the Northern Army is not very optimistic, if there are variables in Guanzhong, the Northern Army is very likely to be very passive, and at that time, he Han Sui may not lose more than he gains, so Han Sui decided to let go of this opportunity and think of a way later.

The day after the Western Liang army captured Longxi City, Ma Teng left Ma Chao to defend Longxi, and he led 50,000 Western Liang troops to the east together with Han Sui.

The reason why Ma Teng left Ma Chao in Longxi was ostensibly because he was worried that Ma Chao would clash with the Northern Army, but in fact, the more important reason was that he wanted to firmly control Longxi.

The Xiliang army marched at a fast speed and with a rainbow of momentum, and Ma Teng was full of confidence in the upcoming battle of Tianshui.

However, just when Ma Teng led the army to advance for about fifty miles, a news came from Tianshui that shocked Ma Teng and the others.

Tianshui has been occupied by the Northern Expeditionary Army!

"How is this possible?" Ma Teng asked incredulously. In front of him were the fast horse scouts he had sent to Tianshui to prepare to liaise with the Northern Army.

The scout hurriedly said: "This matter is absolutely true, and the lowly will never dare to deceive the general!"

It wasn't that Ma Teng didn't believe the scout's words, but it was a little hard for him to accept. Tianshui is Dong Zhuo's last lair, with nearly 100,000 defensive troops, although the city wall is not as good as Luoyang Chang'an, but it can be regarded as a high city and a wide river! How did the Northern Expeditionary Army capture Tianshui in such a short period of time?

Could it be that the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army is really so strong! Ma Teng couldn't help but think so, and then fine sweat involuntarily overflowed on his forehead.

Han Sui on the side was also shocked, he didn't expect the Northern Army to take Tianshui so quickly. After the shock, Han Sui couldn't help but secretly rejoice again, congratulating himself on how wise his choice was.

"Big brother, what should we do now? Do you want to move on, or do you want to go back to Longxi? Han Sui asked after being silent for a moment.

Ma Teng thought for a moment and replied, "The army was brought back to Longxi by the deputy general, and you and I only took our own soldiers to Tianshui.

Han Sui nodded, and felt that it should be so.

Subsequently, the Xiliang army divided its troops. The large army was led by the deputy general to return to Longxi, while Ma Teng Han Sui only led a few hundred personal soldiers to Tianshui quickly.

The Northern Army has never launched an attack on Tianshui, how did it take Tianshui in a blink of an eye? It all started two days ago.

Two days ago, when the news of the capture of Longxi by the Xiliang army reached Tianshui, Lu Bu was shocked and anxious. He found Jia Xu again and wanted to ask for an explanation.

Lu Bu originally thought that Jia Xu would say something inexplicable again, but he didn't want Jia Xu to say to himself simply and clearly this time: "Fengxian, you came just in time." Please gather the army immediately, after nightfall, the army will be ambushed at the west city gate, and at the third watch, when you see three bonfires rising at the head of the city, you will immediately lead the army into the city.

Lu Bu was puzzled, so he asked, "Mr. Wenhe, what kind of reputation are you doing?"

This time, Jia Xu did not sell Guanzi, and after listening to Lu Bu's question, he immediately replied briefly: "Li Su has sent someone to inform us that he will lead his cronies to open the West City Gate at the third watch tonight. At that time, Feng Xian will be able to take the opportunity to lead his army into the city!

"Li Su?" Lu Bu muttered in a low voice, with a look of surprise on his face.

Jia Xu knew why Lu Bu showed such a look, then Li Su and Lu Bu can be said to be fellow villagers, the two have known each other since childhood, and the relationship is not bad.

"That's right, it's Li Su! Feng Xian should be no stranger to this person! Jia Xu smiled.

Lu Bu nodded, "I naturally know Li Su, and Li Su and I are fellow villagers. "

Isn't that great? Feng Xian and Li Su are familiar with each other, so it will be more convenient to do this thing!

After a pause, Jia Xu asked, "What else does Feng Xianke have any questions?"

Lu Bu shook his head, then clasped his fists at Jia Xu and said, "Since Mr. Wenhe has already made arrangements, then I will go down and prepare." "。 Immediately, Lu Bu came out of Jia Xu's tent and gathered the army in a hurry.

In fact, Lu Bu had doubts in his heart, such as: Why did Li Su rebel against Dong Zhuo? Since Li Su had already rebelled against Dong Zhuo, why did he wait until this time to start acting? . Lu Bu temporarily suppressed these questions in his heart, and he planned to wait until he took Tianshui and then ask Jia Xu well.

'If Jia Wenhe dares to sell Guan Zi at that time, I will make him look good! Lu Bu thought fiercely in his heart.

The 30,000 elites of the Bingzhou Legion were quickly assembled. Before nightfall, all the soldiers had a full meal. After nightfall, Lu Bu led the 30,000 elites to lurk outside the West City Gate. At the same time, Jia Xu commanded the rest of the army to be distributed in the other three gates, as soon as Lu Bu's advance troops opened the city gates, the main force of the northern army would enter Tianshui together.
