Looking at Tongguan, Han Sui was not as worried as Ma Chao.

He smiled indifferently, pointed to the pass and said to Ma Chao: "They are guarding tightly, we just don't fight."

"Not fighting?" Ma Chao said in surprise: "I've come here, why don't I fight?"

"I'm sure I'll come here, but I won't be able to fight." Han Sui smiled and said, "Let the soldiers station at the gate first, and I'll talk about it in a few days."

Without understanding Han Sui's intention, Ma Chao frowned: "Uncle Shi, please tell me if you have any plans. If you don't say it, I won't sit firmly."

"First find out who is guarding Tongguan, I will talk about what to do." Han Sui said: "Don't worry, I will definitely make arrangements with you."

Looking at Han Sui suspiciously, Ma Chao didn't ask any more questions.

Han Sui shouted: "Send the order and the army will be stationed on the spot."

The Xiliang army dispersed one after another and set up camps not far from Tongguan.

They did not attack the pass, and Zhong Yao and others at the pass were confused.

"What are Ma Chao and Han Sui doing?" Looking outside the pass, Cao Hong said, "I have come here, but I don't mean to fight."

Zhong Yao and Xuhuan didn't quite understand the intentions of the Xiliang Army.

"Let's see what they will do next." Zhong Yao said: "When Cao left, he told me that we must defend Tongguan no matter what, and we must not give them a chance to break through the pass."

Looking at the Xiliang army busy building camps outside the pass, Cao Hong didn't say anything more.

The actions of the Xiliang Army not only did not seem to attack the barrier, but instead seemed to be spending time with them here.

The soldiers guarding the pass have food and supplies allocated from the Central Plains, and there will be no problem no matter how long they stay.

However, it was much more difficult for the Xiliang Army to allocate food and grass. Ma Chao and Han Sui did this just to cause trouble for themselves.

If I really couldn't figure it out, Cao Hong stopped thinking about it.

Since the Xiliang Army has arrived, it is impossible for it to be completely useless.

As long as they make moves, they will understand everything.

Ma Chao and Han Sui stationed outside the pass for two days, but the Xiliang army never intended to attack the pass.

As the main general, Ma Chao couldn't sit still anymore.

He came to Han Sui's tent with anger. Ma Chao did not let the guard report and directly opened the curtain and walked in.

"Uncle Shi, it has been two or three days since we arrived in Tongguan. When will we send troops to attack?" Ma Chao asked with a frown.

Han Sui was sitting in a tent reading a letter.

Hearing Ma Chao speak, he raised his head and smiled and said, "You are here just right, look at this."

Ma Chao walked over and took the letter from him in confusion.

After browsing it quickly, the expression on Ma Chao's face changed suddenly.

Looking at Han Sui in surprise, Ma Chao asked, "Cao Cao actually asked Cao Hong to guard Tongguan..."

"Cao Hong is young and arrogant, and we can take advantage of it." Han Sui said: "Wait a few days later, Cao Hong and others will definitely wonder why our army has never attacked the pass. At that time, we let the soldiers sit or lie not far from the pass. With Cao Hong's temperament, he will definitely feel that our army has been lazy and lead the army out of the pass to fight."

"So Uncle Shi had such a plan." Ma Chao's face looked much better and said to Han Sui: "I was rude before."

"Meng Qi is young and energetic. Of course, he wants to attack immediately when he comes to the gate." Han Sui said: "But sometimes, it is easier to achieve his wish without fighting."

"Shi Bo has led troops for many years, and his experience is indeed much more experienced than me." Ma Chao said: "Just attack Tongguan, Shi Bo will make the decision."

"Since Meng Qi can trust me, I will decide this time?" Han Sui asked with a smile.

"It's up to the Lord." Ma Chao said with certainty: "Where is something that works for me, just open your mouth."

Han Sui and Ma Chao looked at each other, raised their faces and laughed.

Cao Hong and others at the pass had been guarding for several days, but they never saw the Xiliang army siege.

Looking outside the city, Cao Hong frowned.

Just when he was confused, Zhong Yao pointed outside the pass: "What are the Xiliang Army doing?"

When he pointed out, Cao Hong and Xu Huang also saw it.

The Xiliang Army not only did not mean to attack the city, but instead walked out of the camp in groups of three or three, sitting or lying around to rest.

After leading troops for many years, Cao Hong and others had never seen such a scene.

They looked at each other in surprise.

Cao Hong asked: "What do you think the Xiliang Army wants to do?"

"I don't think they want to do anything." Xu Huang said: "I only see them seemingly resting..."

"There is no such thing as resting." Cao Hong said: "Our army is in the pass, and they are lying or sitting in disorganized manner. Once our army breaks out of the pass, they are just a group of lambs to be slaughtered."

"I don't think it's that simple." Zhong Yao said: "I wonder if the two generals have noticed that although the Xiliang army sat or lying in scattered areas, their approach seemed very deliberate. Perhaps it was Ma Teng and Han Sui who wanted them to do this."

Cao Hong and Xu Huang both looked at him, but they didn't say anything.

Zhong Yao continued: "I mean to follow Cao Gong's orders. No matter what the Xiliang army is like, we should not go out of the pass to fight. As long as we guard the pass, and when Cao Gong raises all the food and supplies, will we still be afraid of Ma Teng and Han Sui when the army arrives?"

"General Zhong is right." Xu Huang nodded: "I think so too."

Cao Hong never expressed his opinion. His face turned gloomy. He looked outside the gate and his brows were tightly locked.

"What do General Cao think?" Zhong Yao asked him.

"General Zhong didn't say it just now." Cao Hong said: "Look first and then talk about it. If the Xiliang Army has always been like this, I think it is necessary to go out of the city and kill the previous game."

"But Cao Gong wants us to defend Tongguan." Zhong Yao said: "Once Tongguan is lost, Chang'an is in front of the enemy's eyes, and Ma Teng and Han Sui can drive in."

"The Xiliang army came from afar. They marched slowly, and they must have been inadequate in preparation for food and supplies." Cao Hong said: "I see that the morale of the Xiliang army is low. It should be that something happened in the army."

"What if the Xiliang army leads our army out of the city, wouldn't it be their trap?" Zhong Yao said: "If there is a real change in the enemy's army, they will leave sooner or later. Tongguan will not fall into their hands."

"If they really have chaos in the army, we will take advantage of the situation to fight out and capture and kill Ma Chao and Han Sui, and Cao Gong will not have to travel long distances to attack Xiliang." Cao Hong said: "We have followed Cao Gong for many years. Can't even share this worry for him?"

"I also think General Zhong is right." Xu Huang said to Cao Hong: "Maybe there was something wrong with the enemy, but it is also possible that they just set up a trap for us to get into it. Once our army falls into the trap, Tongguan will be lost."
