The benefits of winning Chang'an are naturally very numerous.

Ma Teng was actually tempted a long time ago, but he still hesitated.

Chang'an has been run by Xiliang for a long time, and has never experienced wars, and it is not easy to defeat it at all.

Ma Chao took tens of thousands of people to fight, and if he sent out a large army, the loss would be too great and it would not be worthwhile at all.

"Nowadays, our soldiers and horses are still insufficient, and we need to stock up food and grass. The west side, at most one or two years, may come over." Ma Teng said.

On Ma Teng's side, there is no shortage of military pay, relying on the Silk Road, he is developing very well in Liangzhou.

That is, the preparation of food and grass has been insufficient.

All the food and grass he needs need to be purchased from the east, but only Zhang Yu's caravan is willing to sell them.

Zhang Yu's caravans charge high prices, and they all like to bring high-value things when they are transported from afar. The caravans in the east are reluctant to bring the food he doubles the price.

It's very simple. The transportation of tea, liquor, etc. makes more money, the profit is high, and the food is heavy and difficult to transport, the consumption is large, the speed is slow, and the profit is low.

"Father, if Zhang Yu defeats Cao Cao, he will definitely occupy Chang'an directly, and then we will have no chance."

Ma Chao continued to persuade that he could not let go of this opportunity.

Ma Teng seeks stability, this mentality is not difficult to guess.

If they lose too much, Zhang Yu will come to Chang'an in half a year or a year, and he will not even have time to recover.

With more than 200,000 elite soldiers, according to the current state, they can still last for a year or two. When the western army comes over, they will have no worries.

Ma Teng traded with the empire to the west, knowing the power of that empire.

The sea is their inner lake, the area is vast, the population is large, and even the soldiers are very sharp.

Ma Teng even thought that with their support, he could even counterattack Zhang Yu.

In this case, the most important thing is to persevere. Persevere for a little longer, only then can you compete with Zhang Yu.

If he was annihilated early, and the empire on the west had no time to support it, what could be done.

Ma Teng sat still, thinking all the time.

"The risk is too great, and Zhang Yu's progress is too fast. We have no time to react. We should immediately send someone to the west to ask for help."

"Even if we take down Chang'an and Zhang Yu attacks from Bingzhou, what is the use of Chang'an? It is better to save the soldiers and horses. In Liangzhou, we can still compete with Zhang Yu."

Ma Chao fell silent, even if they could hold Chang'an, Zhang Yu attacked from Bingzhou and directly cut off the connection between Chang'an and Liangzhou. By then, Chang'an would be a burden.

"Father, what we lack most now is time. It is enough to buy us a year and a half." Ma Chao said, "That Zhang Yu is lustful. It's better to marry our two families. As long as we hold on for a while, the soldiers and horses to the west will arrive. , We will naturally win."

Ma Teng was serious and dazzling, so Ma Yunlu and Zhang Yu married.

Ma Teng was a little bit reluctant, he still loved this daughter very much.

"Father, let the younger sister go to the marriage. It is enough to hold Zhang Yu for a year or a half, and if it doesn't, if Zhang Yu knows our plan, we will immediately cut off our goods. Liangzhou will be so poor by then. How can you raise hundreds of thousands of troops?"

"We may not want Chang'an, but this is a great opportunity. Even if we occupy Chang'an, even if we looted it, we can move all the people over."

As soon as Ma Chao said, Ma Teng was moved.

"Okay, I'll give you 80,000 elite soldiers, but our soldiers and horses cannot lose too much. Once there is no chance, we must retreat immediately. In addition, I can suspend the book and beg for surrender, and marry my daughter to Zhang Yu. He will definitely not refuse. If we delay for another year and a half without surrendering, Zhang Yu will definitely be fooled."

Ma Teng struggled, his daughter and Ba Ye, he chose Ba Ye.

Ma Chao was pleased to prepare immediately.

Ma Chao hurried out and ran into Ma Yunlu.

"Brother, where are you going?" Ma Yunlu asked.

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said, "Father intends to surrender Zhang Yu and ask me to take Chang'an and make a nomination."

This time it was Ma Yunlu's turn to be stunned, she knew Ma Teng and Ma Chao's plan.

When Ma Yunlu was stunned, Ma Chao quickly slipped away.

Ma Teng asked him to go to war, where would he be delayed.

Ma Yunlu was puzzled and planned to go to Ma Teng for verification.

Ma Yunlu found Ma Teng and said, "Father, just now my brother said he was going to attack Chang'an?"

Ma Teng nodded silently, and then said: "We are too poor here. This Chang'an is a good place. Cao Cao has no virtue. It is a good opportunity to take Chang'an."

Ma Yunlu became cold, and the two people had different opinions, so it was not the same thing.

Ma Yunlu leaned forward and said, "Father considers that Chang'an is indeed a good place."

Ma Yunlu left, but he was even more uneasy.

This Ma Chao was going to attack Chang'an, but not to surrender Zhang Yu.

If they are allowed to fight down, their strength will be greatly increased by that time, plus the support of the western empire...

Ma Yunlu couldn't imagine.

She tried to inquire about the news, and was able to inquire about some news. Recently, Ma Teng speeded up the progress.

Ma Yunlu felt that she had to take the risk to find out the news, and then passed it to Zhang Yu.

Her matter has not been exposed, but she opposed it several times before, and Ma Teng and Ma Chao did not allow her to participate in many things.

Ma Yunlu did not pass the news of Ma Chao's attack on Chang'an, and tens of thousands of horses were dispatched, and Zhang Yu was able to find out the news soon.

Ma Yunlu walked around and looked around, no one dared to stop her.

Two days later, Ma Yunlu found out some news.

Ma Teng ordered to purchase grain and grass vigorously.

He has only one channel to purchase grain and grass, and this requires a price increase to allow merchants to send it from the east.

In the past, Ma Teng would slowly purchase, and then increase his own site operations.

But this time all the merchants were called over and asked them to organize another manpower to purchase.

With such a big move, coupled with Ma Chao going to attack Chang'an, the western empire is about to start moving.

Sure enough, after another two days of inquiring, he received the news, and Ma Teng sent an envoy to the west.

Needless to say, this is about to start.

Ma Yunlu sent someone to secretly pass the news to www.wuxiaspot.com~ and she began to inquire about the situation of the big granaries.

If the enemy from the west is killed, as long as the grain and grass are burned, then everything is solved. Without grain and grass, this empire is useless no matter how strong it is.

Over the years, under the name of Trade, people on both sides established more than a dozen large supply points on the Silk Road.

All the caravans that come and go can go to these places for supplies.

Food and fresh water are the most abundant.

This greatly facilitates the exchanges between East and West.

This is actually the reason why Zhang Yu has not attacked Ma Teng.

These supply points are not easy to build. With these things, the exchanges can reduce a lot of dangers.

When passing through the desert, the most important thing is fresh water. There are several points that can supply fresh water, and the danger is greatly reduced.
