The will of the Chang'an court was made public. As for whom it was made public, it can be seen that in this case, Ma Teng naturally could not continue to attack Han Sui. If he continued to fight, wouldn't it be obvious that the Chang'an court was inappropriate?

But similarly, Ma Teng did not withdraw his troops, but continued to confront Han Sui outside the city, which also showed his dissatisfaction with the court's obvious favoritism with Han Sui, and told the world about the persistence and grievances of the Ma family with practical actions.

This situation lasted for several days, and Zhang Ji was also helpless. It should be considered good that Ma Teng could do this. If he continues to force Ma Teng, it may be counterproductive. Therefore, Zhang Ji felt that it was necessary to let this matter go, and maybe as time went by, Ma Teng got up enough temper and felt that he could live up to face, so this matter would be easier to handle.

Zhang Ji also told Han Sui about this idea and warned Han Sui strictly not to continue doing anything that made Ma Teng misunderstand at this time.

Of course, Zhang Ji's judgment and disposal was also recognized by Chang'an, and the Chang'an court further comforted Ma Teng, for example, as long as Ma Teng agreed to withdraw his troops, he would give Yu Ma Teng more food and grass.

In Sima Fang's opinion, the first thing in Liangzhou is to find a way to exclude Fang Zhiwen. As long as the war ends in advance, no matter what benefits Ma Teng is, it is OK. Then he will provoke Han Sui and continue to rub with Ma Teng. At that time, Fang Zhiwen will not have any good excuses to intervene. After all, Fang Zhiwen cannot station troops in Liangzhou for a long time.

Chang'an's plan is of course good. Han Sui didn't dare to cause trouble for himself at this time, but it does not mean that others will follow Zhang Ji's ideas and pace.

It had just been quiet for a few days. Things came out. First, some strange rumors appeared in the cities of Zhangye County, saying that Xu Rong's army was not here to help Han Sui resist Ma Teng's attack. Instead, they came to occupy Zhangye. The evidence was that Han Sui's troops were completely gone in the city occupied by Xu Rong.

This rumor spread throughout Xiliang in just one day. For a moment, Han Sui became almost everyone's laughing stock, and he thought he would tear up the covenant and frame his brothers. Who knew that after being hit hard, he led the wolf into the house.

This rumor annoyed Han Sui and made Zhang very nervous, but before they could figure out what the rumor was going on. Originally, the city order appointed by Fanhecheng Han Sui was assassinated, and the matter seemed to be the attack of Yi Ren. This happened at this time, which was obviously consistent with the rumors that had just been circulated.

Then, the city order of Di's city was also attacked. Although it was not fatal, the city order was shocked and handed over the seal to Xu Rong's defending general and took Jia Xiaonan to Chang'an. His behavior seemed like a signal, and the other city lords occupied by Xu Rong also consciously handed over the seal.

Zhang Ji and Xu Rong immediately assured Han Sui that the court had no intention of spying on those cities. If Han Sui did not believe it, Xu Rong's army could immediately withdraw from these cities and station outside the city. He also asked Han Sui to appoint and remove the city orders of these cities by himself.

However, Han Sui had not issued a new appointment and removal, and another rumor was rumored that Han Sui was dissatisfied with the Chang'an court's robbery, wanted to make peace with Ma Teng again, defected to Fang Zhiwen, and was preparing to kill Zhang Ji to show his ambition.

If Zhang Ji had heard this rumor a few days ago, he would definitely not believe it. However, if you were not far away from the wronged soul of Fanhecheng, Zhang Ji would not dare to be so sure. Every time he saw Han Sui protecting his troops around him, Zhang Ji felt like he was under house arrest, and it seemed that his life would be over at any time.

Zhang Ji understood that even though Han Sui had no intention of killing him, Ma Teng and Fang Zhiwen now had a reason to take action. In the future, just push the headless case to Han Sui. Anyway, the one who took action would definitely be Yi Ren, and the rumors at the moment were probably to pave the way for this matter. No, from the beginning, those rumors appeared to kill Zhang Ji!

Zhang Ji was really scared this time, worried that Han Sui would really be rebellious, and worried that he would be killed by Ma Teng once he left Han Sui's protection. Feared, Zhang Ji finally thought of a solution, which was to leave Zhangye and go to Shandan, and hiding in Xu Rong's military camp was the safest place.

But when Zhang Ji made such a request, Han Sui's expression would be wrong. If Zhang Ji ran away at this time, who would restrain Ma Teng? And, as the rumor says, Xu Rong's real purpose is actually to completely annex Zhangye, then Zhang Ji's departure will be equivalent to Han Sui losing the last hostage.

"Mr. Zhang really wants to leave?"

"This Wenfu, my official will become the target in Zhangye City. If there is any accident, the responsibility of Wenfu will be unclearable!"

"Mr. Zhang doesn't believe in the ability of the lower officials, and is worried that the lower officials will not be able to protect the safety of the higher officials?"

"Of course this is not, it's just that, I just think that Wenyou should avoid suspicion at this time, haha, avoid suspicion!"

"Avoid suspicion? Why should we avoid suspicion? Will the subordinates harm Lord Zhang? In Xiliang, the one who is most worried about Lord Zhang's safety should be the subordinate? Lord Zhang is in a hurry to leave. Could it be that he is worried about something else?"

Zhang Ji asked inexplicably: "What else is it?"

"I'm worried about what happens to General Xu Rong, and Lord Zhang will be unable to advance or retreat at that time?"

"What will happen to General Xu Rong? He is strong and there is no enemy activity around him, unless"

"That's better. Let General Xu Rong come to Zhangye City and Zhaowu and replace our army with the defense south of Shandan. If Ma Teng dares not act rashly, and the lord can also successfully meet with General Xu Rong. Is that good?"

"This, how is this possible?"

Zhang Ji knew that Xu Rong would never come to the front. If Xu Rong came to the front, Han Sui would definitely try every means to fight Xu Rong and Zhang Liao. Such a thing would definitely not be difficult to do in Zhangyecheng and Zhaowu, and then Han Sui would really benefit.

Moreover, if Han Sui really had the intention of rebelling, Xu Rong would definitely be dangerous if he changed his defense. What was even more dangerous is Wuwei in the south. Without Xu Rong's block, Han Sui could go straight to Wuwei and threaten Yongzhou.

Since Han Sui and Zhang had no agreement, they had to go back to their own houses and continue to stalemate in this terrifying atmosphere.

The next day, Ma Teng suddenly sent an envoy to invite Zhang Ji to the military camp outside the city for discussion, wanting to make further complaints and exchange opinions on the imperial decree, but Zhang Ji didn't know whether he should go. In fact, he didn't dare to go because Ma Teng had retreated the military camp ten miles away, and it was really hard to say what would happen during this journey.

Zhang Ji found an excuse to refuse. That night, Zhang Ji's residence was thrown into tincture oil and torches. Fortunately, no losses were caused, but Zhang Ji was already scared.

Ma Teng got the news from somewhere. The next day, he led his army to form a formation under the city and asked Han Sui to hand over Zhang Ji to himself for protection. Han Sui naturally refused. Both sides quarreled and criticized each other for their ulterior motives. In Zhang Ji's view, this meaningless verbal battle was like a play.

Later, Xu Rong's troops found that there seemed to be signs of a large number of cavalry activities around the Xianmei Fortress in Wuwei County. Xu Rong was worried about the safety of the logistics channel and had to temporarily stop transporting supplies to Han Sui, and readjusted the military subordinates. The promise that the army was originally intended to be transferred out of the city also became empty talk.

The new city appointed by Han Sui was chosen, but none of them dared to take office. Xu Rong had no choice but to designate some people to temporarily undertake daily government affairs and maintain the operation of these cities. However, in this way, the rumors that Xu Rong occupied Zhangye County became a fact.

The matter in Zhangye County became extremely strange. The reason was that there was no trust between Han Sui and the Chang'an court. Both sides were just using each other. Xu Shu accurately grasped this loophole and put all the little thoughts that were originally hidden under the table on the table. In this way, Han Sui had no reason to cooperate with the Chang'an court no matter what, unless Han Sui was willing to truly accept the Chang'an court's orders and give up the privileges of being a warlord. This choice is definitely not something Han Sui can accept now.

So, after a logistics unit of Xu Rong was raided by a large number of unidentified cavalry, Han Sui and Xu Rong's false intentions were finally broken!

"Han Wen's appointment, isn't this really what you did?"

"Mr. Zhang, how could I do this? It must be Ma Teng and Zhang Liao who want to blame me!"

"But when you urge the food and grass, General Xu Rong's food team will be robbed, this."

"Mr. Zhang, even if I lack food, I can't rob General Xu Rong's food and grass, right?"

"So where did your food come from? Did you pick it up halfway!"

"This is really something that Liang Xing picked up outside Wulan City. If you don't believe it, the official can order the food and grass to be sent to General Xu Rong."

"Is that right? If I hadn't received this news, would you still send the food and grass back?"

"Of course this will!"

"Okay, in order to prove that Han Wen had no intention of asking you, please go to Shandan with me and explain the situation to General Xu Rong?"

"Don't bully this Lord Zhang!"

"What, can Lord Han want to rebel?"

"Secretary"

"Zhang Ji, don't go too far, don't forget that you are still on our territory now!" Yan Xing, who was standing beside him, had long been unable to see this. This Zhang Ji was really too bullying. Seeing that his father-in-law was forced to retreat, Yan Xing finally broke out!

This loud shout made Zhang Ji tremble, then he figured out his situation, and suddenly he was silent and stopped talking, and the matter was left in vain.

That night, Zhang Ji changed his clothes and pretended to be his servant, wanting to sneak out of the city in the name of purchasing, but when he came back, he had turned into a body and was sent back to the inn.

Han Sui was shocked to get the news and immediately blocked the news. That night, Han Sui led his army out of Zhangye City. (To be continued...)
