A night passed, and in the daytime, in the morning, Ma Chao took over Anlu City with everyone.

As for the surrender of Xiancheng, the officials of Anlucheng were not embarrassed at all. In their opinion, just this little county soldier in their own city, can they still be the opponent of the nearly 100,000 Liangzhou army? Not to mention people, even if someone spits on it, it is estimated that they can drown their own people. The so-called "little arms can't twist the thighs", to do that kind of thing to hit stones with eggs, it is obviously not their style. And seeing the wind makes the rudder, this is what they are good at.

Originally, after Liu Biao's death, Liu Cong succeeded to the throne, and Cai Mao was in charge, and for the officials of Jiangxia An Lucheng, there were really few of them who were Cai Mao's family. But even if it's his lineage, there's nothing he can do now, only by taking refuge in the Liangzhou Army can there be a way out, or what else, is it difficult to drag his family and run away? It's basically impossible! ——

Ma Chao took a cadre of subordinates and some soldiers, and entered Anlu City, except for Liu Ye, who stayed in the camp, everyone else entered the city with him.

After entering the city, there were still a series of things, out of the list of Anmin, posted notices, and informed the people of the city that now Anlu has been under the rule of the Liangzhou Army. In fact, for the people, basically who is the state pastor and who manages the state and county has little to do with them. But the premise is that you can really buy people's hearts and don't do things that harm the people, then if you don't touch the interests of the people, the people will naturally not turn against you, otherwise, then it may be the opposite.

After that, Ma Chao saw the Anlucheng official with that face again. still encouraged them a few words, after all, many things still have to rely on them. In fact, to put it bluntly, it's just a use. But being able to use it means that they are still a little useful, isn't there a saying, "I'm not afraid of being used, I'm afraid that you're useless", sometimes being used means that you still have the value of use. But if you're worthless, it's probably even more pathetic—

In Anlu. Ma Chao rested for a while, and then continued to march towards Jiangxia's governance and Xiling City. When he knew that Xiling was guarded by Cheng Pu, a veteran of the Jiangdong Army, Ma Chao did not dare to slack off, and he also fought Xiling. Look at it very seriously. He doesn't pay attention to it, although Cheng Puqi is a person. In terms of the world. It's not a big reputation, but if you want to underestimate others because of this, then it's still that way, and you're the only one who suffers.

Faith is one thing, and faith must be had, but we should not underestimate the people of the world. It is certainly not advisable to underestimate the enemy. Although Ma Chao also believes that he can win and capture the Xiling guarded by Cheng Pu, he will definitely not underestimate the enemy. for he knows the word. As long as you underestimate the enemy, then you will definitely be defeated. For the sake of his own victory, in order to take more places in Jingzhou as soon as possible, Ma Chao knew that he must pay attention to the opponent and the enemy in order to act.

Within a few days, Ma Chao led the army to the outside of Xiling City, and Cheng Pu, who had already learned the news, had to worry about the war in Xiling.

Who is Ma Chao? What kind of army is the Liangzhou Army? Cheng Pu still doesn't know the Dao, although it is impossible for him to understand everything, but he knows a lot of basic things. And in the past, he followed Sun Jian to fight in the south and the north, of course, he had seen Ma Chao a few times. However, Ma Chao at that time did not have today's strength or strength, although he was also a court official, but he was not yet full-fledged.

But he was such a young hero at the beginning, but now he has already grown into a world-famous figure, and no one can and dare not underestimate him to help the wind and the horse and the horse Mengqi. Sometimes Cheng Pu thinks that if he wants to say that he is the lord, he was also a young hero in the world before, but compared with Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, indeed, there is still a big gap. This gap can be said to be a gap in many aspects, although Cheng Pu is Sun Ce's subordinate, but in his heart, he has to admit that his lord is not as good as Ma Mengqi.

So this time Ma Chao led the troops into Jiangxia, it can be said that Cheng Pu has been paying attention to it, but Ma Chao's advance speed is fast enough, and now he has already killed outside Xiling City.

Cheng Puzhi said that Xiling was estimated to be difficult to hold. It's not that he doesn't have confidence, but now in Xiling City, there are 5,000 people on his side here, and there are nearly 100,000 people on his side. And in terms of combat power, the land war is not as good as others, not to mention that Xiling has been destroyed several times, not to mention that the city is not very strong, even those things that guard the city, they don't collect much at all, so they are all unfavorable to their own side, but others have an advantage-

In stark contrast to Cheng Pu in Xiling City, that is, the Liangzhou army stationed outside the city, especially Ma Chao. Ma Chao didn't worry about the war in Xiling, anyway, for him, Xiling City was really nothing, and he wouldn't be able to take it down with great effort. At least Xiling is not Xiangyang, and he Cheng Pu is not Tai Shici, and Jiangdongjun is not Liu Beijun, so if you can't take Xiling now, it is really better to go home and go home to farm.

After resting for a day, on the second day, Ma Chao asked Ma Dai to lead his troops to attack the city. Cheng Pu, as a veteran figure, is naturally aware of Sun's loyalty to Ma Chao, so you don't have to think about making his people surrender. So aside from this, the only way to do this is to storm Xiling, which must also be done. Ma Chao knew that he had to speed up himself, after all, there were Liu Bei and Sun Ce in front, and Cao Cao in the back, not to mention the local potential, so Ma Chao also knew that it was better for him to be a little bit.

Ma Dai led his troops to attack the city again, and he didn't have much chance before. Anyway, since entering Jiangxia, Ma Dai has never led troops to attack the city. After all, whether it was Yundu City at the beginning or An Lu before, they all surrendered directly to their own side, so they were useless at all. But this time, it's okay, I'm leading troops to attack the city again. Although this time the opponent himself also said that he had some skills. But no matter how powerful it is, can there still be that Tai Shici who guards Xiangyang?

In Ma Dai's opinion, even such a powerful Tai Shici was repelled by his own side and fled, so what else can he count as Cheng Pucheng Demou of the Jiangdong Army? Could it be that he is more powerful than Tai Shi Ci, obviously he won't-

The first tentative attack still ended with Ma Chao letting the soldier Mingjin close the troops.

And from the first temptation, both sides have a certain understanding of each other's combat power. The two armies can be regarded as "gods have been friends for a long time", so naturally they have heard of each other. After all, the Liangzhou army is in the world. That's definitely the most famous team all the time. As for the Jiangdong Army, it is the first in the world in water warfare, can this reputation be too small?

But even though both sides had heard of each other, this was the first time the two armies had fought each other, and there had never been one before. But this is the first time I encountered it in such a situation. It's still on someone else's turf, and no one expected this.

And a siege battle down. After Cheng Pu returned to the Taishou Mansion. His brow furrowed even deeper. It is impossible for him not to be like this, the strength of the Liangzhou army, he is definitely the first time he has seen it with his own eyes, and he has heard of it before. But it is indeed "hearing is false, seeing is believing", after experiencing it personally this time. He can be regarded as a knowledgeable man, and he is indeed "a man without a false name", he can't accept it, and his own combat power on land is indeed inferior to others. That's exactly what happened.

And Cheng Pu also knew that the Liangzhou army had never missed a siege anyway. At least the city has always been broken, and it is not said that it has not been captured and retreated, anyway, he has never heard of it. So he can still not worry? After all, now they are all disadvantages, but others are advantages, and they are deeply favored by the lord and the old lord, and they have always been unable to repay it, but if they really want to lose the city, what face do they have to see their lord. And when did he have the face to see his old master, but now this ......

I have to say that the general thoughts of the ancients are like this, how to say it, anyway, Ma Chao will definitely not think like this, at least Sun Ce will definitely not think like this. The gains and losses of a county and a city, Sun Ce will definitely not pay too much attention to it. But Cheng Pu is definitely a big figure for the entire Jiangdong Army and the whole Jiangdong. So he is definitely not comparable to a Xiling City. But Cheng Pu's thoughts are a little ......

can't just say that he's wrong, after all, as a veteran figure and a loyal person, his thoughts are understandable, but some things may be different from what everyone is pursuing. At least in Cheng Pu's opinion, if he can't defend the city, he is sorry for his lord, but Sun Ce actually doesn't value such a place, he values Cheng Pu and his people more-

In Ma Chao's big tent, Ma Dai was reporting to his lord what he said he saw and felt today, and he heard him say at this time: "Lord, the combat power of the Jiangdong army is definitely inferior to our army, so don't look at them They have 5,000 men and horses guarding Xiling, but their subordinates dare to guarantee that within three days, they will be able to take Xiling City, and let the lord lead the troops into the city to rest!" ”

Ma Chao smiled when he heard this, "Okay, with Bozhan's words, I am much more relieved." is not universal, although it is not as good as Taishi Ziyi, but it is still not to be underestimated! Bozhan is extremely careful, don't be careless and underestimate the enemy! ”

"No! Remember the words of the Lord! ”

Ma Chao nodded with satisfaction, Cheng Pu and Tai Shici are still a little worse, and the Jiangdong army is not very good at defending the city, so he can naturally take Xiling, this Ma Chao has long known the way, and it is just a matter of time.

After listening to the words of their lord, they also nodded their heads. In fact, after today's battle, they and Ma Dai have similar ideas. At least they know that their own side will win, and the enemy army will be defeated. If you can't capture Xiling, then it's true, it's better to go home and farm.

For Cheng Puqi, although everyone really didn't think what he was, but since his lord said so, then he is at least a talent, but just with him plus 5,000 Jiangdong soldiers, he is still not his opponent.

It's definitely not arrogance, it's a kind of self-confidence, and everybody has that confidence, that's why they feel that way. It's not like this in a day or two, it's been how many years have made everyone feel like this-

Another day later, Ma Dai continued to lead his troops to attack Xiling, and he hadn't forgotten what he said in front of the lord that within three days, Xiling would be broken, so that the lord could lead the troops to rest in the Taishou Mansion in the city. And these three days, naturally, include yesterday, and then add today and tomorrow, so Ma Dai also knows that there is not much time left for him, this is so awkward, of course, it is not that meaning, but it really makes him feel that it will definitely not work if he doesn't hurry.

Looking at Ma Dai, who led the troops under the city to attack, Cheng Pu sneered in his heart, Liangzhou Army! I have been waiting for you for a long time, and today I, Cheng Pucheng Demou, am "sacrificing my life to accompany the gentleman", and I will definitely have a good battle with you, so that you will no longer dare to underestimate my Jiangdong Army.

After thinking of this, Cheng Pu shouted to the soldiers at the head of the city, "Brothers, take out your skills and let the Liangzhou army see, we are not easy to bully!" ”

"No!"

"Kill!"

……

I have to say that as soon as Cheng Pu's voice fell, there was a shout on the top of the city...... (To be continued......)
