Chapter Eighty-Four: The Liangzhou Army Reports Frequently
After storming Xiling City for two days, Ma Chao asked the Liangzhou army to suspend the attack and rest outside the city. For the Liangzhou army to behave like this, Cao Cao was not too surprised, they felt that it was normal, so they didn't pay too much attention to it.
As for Cao Cao, Ma Chao won't pay much attention to it, can it be said that they can still withdraw their troops at this time. If that's the case, I can't ask for it, but what is the truth, it's not like this.
After resting for two days, Ma Chao asked Ma Dai to lead his troops to attack Xiling City again. As for the division of troops that Guo Jia said before, Ma Chao sent Gan Ning, as well as a few people from Wu Anguo, with 30,000 troops, to take a detour to capture Anlu City. As for the result, they thought it was likely to be successful, but the final result was beyond everyone's expectations.
attacked three times in succession, and each time the Liangzhou army returned with a feather, and its morale was indeed declining all the time. Ma Chao and everyone thought that it might be Gan Ning and they divided their troops to get An Lu and were discovered, so they wanted to rescue An Lu, so ...... -
Ma Chao let the soldiers rest for two days at this time, and then asked Ma Dai to lead the troops to attack Xiling again, but as soon as he retreated this time, the soldiers came to report: "Report to the lord, Liangzhou urgently!" β
When Ma Chao heard this, he said that something happened in Liangzhou! Otherwise, it is impossible to use an urgent report, and it is definitely not a trivial matter. He glanced at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia was also looking at him. There was a trace of worry in the eyes of both of them, and sure enough, after reading the emergency report, Ma Chao handed the emergency report to Guo Jia. Then he said: "First Lingqiang united with several other Qiang tribes in Xiqiang, 200,000 horses are attacking Jincheng at this time, Zhang Xiu can't stop it!" β
When Guo Jia heard it, he also knew it. Ma Chao beckoned to everyone at this time, and they all returned to the camp and arrived at his own Chinese army tent.
Inside the big tent. Ma Chao told everyone about Zhang Xiu's urgent report, and everyone had to be a little worried. In the end, it was Guo Jia who spoke first, "Lord." It is normal for Zhang Xiu to be unable to resist, and now he should let the eighteen sons rush back to Jincheng overnight, and write a letter, Jizhou Jia Wenhe. Let it rush to Jincheng! So. Liangzhou can be stable, and the Qiang people can't afford to set off too much wind and waves! βββ
Ma Chao laughed when he heard this: "Okay, what Feng Xiao said is very much in line with my wishes, and now it should be so!" β
Ma Chao really thinks the same way, for the Qiang people, when Li was for them before, what was the first Qiang. No Qiang dared to send so many troops to attack Jincheng. However, the so-called "there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are the kings". Li couldn't bear to leave for them. Although Ma Chao also thinks that there is likely to be Cao Cao and Sun Ce's shadows in this, to be honest, even if they don't go to find the Qiang people, the Qiang people will have to attack Liangzhou, which is certain.
After all, they have been suppressed by Li Wei for them for so many years, and as soon as Li Wei is gone, they will all be liberated immediately, so it is natural to vent all the resentment and resentment that has accumulated over the years. To be honest, Ma Chao can say that he still understands this very well. Don't say it's a Qiang person, even if you encounter such a thing, you have to do it.
Victory or defeat is really not the most important thing, the most important thing is to let yourself vent, so that's it. And what he thinks is that the Qiang people should be like this, they have suppressed Li for the eighteen sons a little too hard over the years. You know, the extremes of things must be reversed.
The so-called "where there is oppression, there is resistance", it can be said that the Qiang people have been suppressed for a long time, so it is impossible for them not to resist. And as soon as Li left for them, didn't this give them a chance, so it was impossible for them not to grasp it, so it was like this.
However, Ma Chao really didn't take this too seriously, because he really didn't pay attention to the Qiang people. At least he knew that whether he went back by himself, or Li Wei for them, plus a "poisoner" Jia Xu, it could be said that it was more than enough to deal with the Qiang people.
He is indeed very famous among the Qiang people, after all, he personally led the troops to slaughter Dangqiang, so until today, he can still hear his name. And he is the Liangzhou pastor of the Han Dynasty, how can the Qiang people not know themselves and their strength.
As for Li Wei for them, not to mention, it is indeed the eighteen people who make them frightened. Or in their eyes, eighteen devilsβ
What kind of person is Jia Xu, a "poisoner in a chaotic country", let alone 200,000 Qiang people, no matter how many there are, it is not enough for him to kill. As long as he comes out with a poisonous plan, basically the Qiang people should be crippled, so Ma Chao really doesn't want to use Jia Xu, but now that the Qiang people dare to come, then let Jia Xu come out. I haven't made a move for a long time, and I don't know how many people in the world can remember that there is such a poison on their side.
So let Li Wei and Jia Xu, they combine to deal with the Qiang people, Ma Chao is very confident in them. To say that the Qiang people are not strong enough that they can't deal with this combination, at least Ma Chao doesn't think so, so he agrees with what Guo Jia said.
As a result, as soon as Ma Chao finished solving the matter of the invasion of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, another soldier came to report: "Report to the lord, the Yizhou messenger asks to see!" β
When Ma Chao heard this, what did his heart say? Could it be that something happened in Yizhou, it won't be stricter than Liangzhou, if you want to do this, it's really not easy to do-
You know, Liangzhou is Ma Chao's base camp. It is his foundation, so after so many years, it can be said that the business is indeed first-class. But Yizhou is different. Ma Chao is just an outsider to that place, even if Yizhou is his territory now, but he can't look at it like this.
At least Ma Chao knows that there are still hidden dangers in Yizhou, but he has never solved it. As a result, after the messenger came in, he gave the letter from Yizhou to Ma Chaohou. Ma Chao opened it and took a look, and sure enough, he was afraid of anything.
The letter was written to Ma Chao by the current Yizhou Mu, Zhang Song and Zhang Ziqiao. The content in my heart is very simple, that is, the Nanban Meng won and led 150,000 troops into Kouyi Prefecture, and now Yongchang County has been lost. Although Zhang Song sent troops to resist. The effect was not obvious, so he wrote to his lord to announce the urgency.
Zhang Song's meaning is very simple, that is, let Ma Chao preside over the overall situation. What he said is not unreasonable, because Yizhou belongs to the state that Ma Chao occupied relatively early. But to be honest, except for the beginning, Ma Chao didn't stay in Yizhou for long, he hadn't been to Yizhou for many years, and Ma Chao himself couldn't remember it clearly-
And Zhang Song means that. Taking this opportunity, his lord personally led his troops to meet the Meng Huonan barbarian army. As long as he is convinced, then the matter of Nanban will be basically solved, and there will be almost no worries in the future. And now people from all walks of life in Yizhou can also see their lord's martial arts, not just rumors. This is the benefit that Zhang Song said, and he also knows that Ma Chao is fighting in Jingzhou. But although Jingzhou is said to be a piece of fatty meat, it can only be eaten on occasions.
Now there is no such a good opportunity, it is not a good occasion, so I can only give up the matter of Jingzhou for the time being, and focus on the battle in Yizhou, or it will not be beneficial to both places.
Ma Chao didn't know about this, but if he wanted to leave Jingzhou, he had to arrange it. This Jingzhou, even if he is no longer enterprising, he has to let people keep the counties he has obtained now, or he will really come to Jingzhou for nothing. The war has been going on for so long, and if you haven't occupied a single city, it's really, sadly.
Ma Chao handed Zhang Song's handwritten letter to Guo Jia, "Alas, Fengxiao, take a look!" β
Then when Guo Jia read the letter, Ma Chao told everyone present about the changes in Yizhou, and everyone was a little anxious when they heard it, after all, Yizhou is also a very important place for their side, and it is absolutely impossible to lose.
At this time, Guo Jia had already read Zhang Song's handwritten letter, and only heard him say: "Okay, good, Cao Mengde, Sun Bofu, Liu Xuande, but he is very calculating!" β
Ma Chao heard the words and asked, "What do you mean by filial piety?" β
Guo Jia's eyes widened, and he said directly: "My lord, please think about it, why Liangzhou and Yizhou were attacked by foreign races one after another, if you talk about Liangzhou, it can be regarded as Li leaving for them, and the Qiang people see a glimmer of hope and come to attack Liangzhou." But Yizhou is definitely like this, over the years, under the special appeasement of the lord, Nanban Meng has won his people, although his ambition is still the same, but he is still honest. And he is by no means a person who dares to enter the army without being sure, but now he is ......"-
Guo Jia also knows what to say later, so he doesn't need to say more. Why did he Meng Shu go against the norm and directly lead 150,000 troops to enter Kouyi Prefecture, if there is no one here to pry up, no one to support, to be honest, kill Guo Jia, he doesn't believe it. And what is it to support Meng Shu and pry him to be like this, then it can be imagined. Is there anyone else besides Cao Sun Liu.
Everyone couldn't help nodding, they thought the same, but Ma Chao sighed lightly and said to Guo Jia and the others: "Hit the snake and hit the seven inches, I have to say, Cao Mengde and they hit it with one hit, but it made me Ma Mengqi have to go to Yizhou." In this game, they won! β
But isn't it, this matter is definitely out of Ma Chao's expectations, so it can really be regarded as "taking it by surprise and attacking it unprepared". Ma Chao thinks that he has lost a game, he has no temper at all, he is tall, but his own side is slightly inferior.
In fact, if you think about it, after all, there is only one Guo Jia here now, but what about others, it is considered several Guo Jia-
As a result, not long after, there was a report from the Malay: "Report to the lord, I found that General Gan Ning is leading troops thirty miles away from our army!" β
When Ma Chao and everyone heard this, they said in their hearts that it was really a disaster, and they found Gan Ning? Gan Ning, shouldn't they be fighting in Anlu and the Jiangdong Army guarding Anlu City now, but at this time, they appeared in the Xiling Territory. What does this mean, do you need to say more, Gan Ning has been defeated, so this is back with the remnants of the army.
Ma Chao shook his head, and spit out two words in his mouth: "Explore again!" β
"No!"
After Tanma left, Ma Chao was unusual, and smiled directly: "Hahaha!" Ladies and gentlemen, I thought that Cao Mengde, Sun Bofu, and Liu Xuande had no choice but to do anything about our army, but now they have given our army a surprise! Okay, okay, such an opponent can be worthy of our army, do you think so! β
When everyone saw that their lord was so optimistic, it could be said that they were also deeply affected.
To tell the truth, in Liangzhou, the Qiang people invaded, even if it was 200,000, a lot, quite a lot, but they were not afraid at all. Because they also know that as long as Li goes back for them, plus a Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, Mr. Wenhe, then it can be said that there will be no problem.
And Yizhou Nanban Meng Shu led troops into the Kou, which can be said to be a more tricky matter, but it seems that his lord wants to go out in person, so there is no problem. It's just that Jingzhou is here, but it's going to stop for the time being, but if it's not, what else can it do, there's no way.
To say that Cao Cao is indeed clever, this time Ma Chao has to estimate Yizhou. If he can not go to Liangzhou, then he can't go to Yizhou. (To be continued......)
