Chapter 37 Liangzhou soldiers to Yi County
PS: Thank you yangpan8 book friends for your daily recommendation, thank you~
As for the war to go to Yi County, whether it is Cao Cao, Sun Ce or Ma Chao, it can be said that they all went with great confidence. As for Liu Bei, who doesn't have so much confidence, at least he didn't say much, let alone pull back and say something not very good. Besides, it can be said that Liu Bei is very self-aware, he knows it in his heart, so let's not say that he is a soft-spoken person, just say that at this time, whether it is Cao Cao or Sun Ce, what is bad about what they can listen to.
And after all, a battle with the Liangzhou Army will happen sooner or later, and now it may be coming soon, so this is actually not an unexpected thing. Indeed, it is still the same sentence, from the day several people decided to unite against the Liangzhou army, it was destined that there would be such a day, and now it is not something unexpected.
Ma Chao took his Liangzhou army to the boundary of Yixian County, and to be honest, it was not much miles away from the county seat of Yixian County.
However, Zhang Ren still did not move at this time. Guo Jia, who was next to Ma Chao, smiled at his lord and said, "Lord, it seems that he is Zhang Ren, but he is still not small!" ”――
Ma Chao naturally knew what Guo Jia meant, and Guo Jia meant that he came from afar, even if he hadn't greeted Zhang Ren before, this was good. But it is impossible for him Zhang Ren not to know that he is coming with troops. To say that he is a third-rate general, he has so many people with him. The mighty people have come here, and they are already going to Yi County. Could it be that the guards in the city didn't know anything about it?
So everyone else can know, will he Zhang Ren know it? If Zhang Ren didn't find his army, then he really underestimated him, a famous general in Shu, really. At the beginning of Yizhou, there were indeed no particularly powerful generals in the Yizhou army, but Zhang Ren was definitely second to none, a first-class general in the Yizhou army, so he really can't be underestimated.
But even so, he Zhang Ren did not come out to greet him and his own people. This has to be explained.
To tell the truth, Ma Chao knew in his heart that at this time, Cao Cao's Yanzhou army and Sun Ce and Liu Bei's Sun-Liu coalition army had not yet arrived in Yi County, so Yi County was calm for the time being, and there was no war.
Then at this time, if there are other generals in Yixian again, no matter who it is. Aside from his Zhang Ren, Ma Chao dared to say that after anyone knew that he had brought a large army here, he would definitely go out of the city for several miles to greet him and everyone. But he is the only one who is Zhang Ren. It can be said that he didn't care about himself at all, so you can imagine what is going on.
Don't say it's Guo Jia and himself. Even those generals under their own accounts, including some of the soldiers in their own Liangzhou army. I guess I know what's going on. Ma Chaoxin said, you Zhang Ren really don't give yourself face at all. But fortunately, although it is impossible for me not to care about face at all, I am definitely not such a person with a good face. So you Zhang Ren is happy, if you change to a really good-looking lord, you Zhang Ren may not be able to leave anything good.
Ma Chao really thinks in his heart that with Zhang Ren's temperament, it can be said that he can live until now, which can be said to be really good. And he can deeply understand why in the romance, after Zhang Ren swore to die and not return, Zhuge Liang simply clicked his person. It can be said that Zhuge Liang understands Zhang Ren, and he must know his personality.
Ma Chao glanced at Guo Jia's more meaningful smile, and he smiled bitterly, "Fengxiao, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" To be honest, how Zhang Ren is, everything is expected, isn't it? What I know, please, how can you not know? ”
Ma Chao's meaning is simple, that is, you Guo Jia still didn't expect this, needless to say, even I had expected it, you Guo Fengxiao still don't know?
When Guo Jia heard it, he didn't say anything more about what his father-in-law said, after all, talking more was a headache for his father-in-law, and his father-in-law didn't like to always talk about these things that gave him a headache, after so many years, Guo Jia really knew Ma Chao very well. Of course he knows what kind of temperament his lord is.
Seeing that Guo Jia stopped talking, Ma Chao didn't say much, Guo Jia, you have to say that he is indeed very knowledgeable about current affairs, so he and smart people really don't need to say anything, maybe a few words, a sentence, they all understand-
At the speed of the Liangzhou army, although there are still a few miles away, it will soon reach the city of Yixian, but it is on the side of the east gate, Cao Cao and their army must come from the west or north, so Ma Chao has to take the army here to intercept the Yanzhou army and the Sun Liu coalition army. However, this matter can only be said after meeting Zhang Ren, after all, at this time, the gate of Yixian County has not been opened, so ......
At this time, the city gate of Yixian County is closed, which is good, but you can't enter or go out. After all, Zhang Ren had already known the movements in Xiling, so how could he still open the city gate at this time, isn't that a joke. Even if Zhang Ren is a master of the arts, it is not so bold, or you know when the Yanzhou army and the Sun Liu coalition army will come. Of course, he also firmly believed that when the enemy army was about to reach Yixian, the city gate would definitely be closed immediately. But to be honest, if that's the case, the city gates are in such a hurry. Isn't that a joke, Zhang Ren feels that he can't afford to lose that person.
As for the Liangzhou sergeant who guarded Yuyi County at the head of the city. I had already seen my army come to the city, but because there was no order from Zhang Ren. Nor can they just open the gates of the city.
Although the Liangzhou Army is not like the Yanzhou Army, the military discipline is particularly strict, and the army is very strict, but it is absolutely not lax no matter how it is said, so there will definitely be no shortage of things.
At this time, Ma Chao let his soldiers camp in the same place, and on the other hand, he took Guo Jia and Cui An to the city of Yixian. As a result, the soldiers saw their lords and their own generals. But there was still no action, of course, some soldiers also made a mistake in their hearts, their lords have already come, is it possible to open the city gate?
Ma Chao looked at it and was quite satisfied, although it was Zhang Ren's county of Yi, but when there was no order from him, even if he came by himself, no one opened the city gate. He wasn't angry at all. In his opinion, an invincible army has to be like this. I heard that the Yanzhou army has strict military discipline, but it is not bad for itself.
But Ma Chao actually knew it in his heart. There is indeed a gap between myself and the Yanzhou Army, this is good-
"How did you ......?"
Cui An shouted at his own soldiers at the head of the city at this time. But as soon as he shouted four words, he was stopped by Ma Chao. "Fuda, wait!"
In Cui An's eyes. It's true that there aren't many military rules and disciplines, and he doesn't think about them. And his idea is very simple, that is, his lord is under the city, why haven't his soldiers opened the city gate to let his lord in? And he was also very angry in his heart, he scolded Zhang Ren's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart. But isn't it, it's still a sin for him not to come to greet the lord, and he still closes the city gate and doesn't open it, what is this going to do, stop doing it?
But in the same way, after listening to his lord's stop, Cui An swallowed his words, and his shouting stopped abruptly. Not to mention, after so many years, Cui An listened to his father a long time ago, but after that, slowly, he listened to Ma Chao. As he gets older and older, it can be said that although Cui An's temper and personality have not changed, he is indeed much more stable than before. Isn't it, now that Cui An is over forty years old, maybe he is still the same as when he was in his teens and twenties?
Even Ma Chao is now over thirty, so I have to say that time flies really fast.
When Ma Chao saw Cui An shouting, he hurriedly stopped it, because he was satisfied and right with what his soldiers did, so Cui An shouted like this, after all, it was not good. Of course, almost everyone knows what kind of person Cui An is, so naturally no one will worry about him, or even if he cares, he may have something to worry about, after all, Cui An is a general in the Liangzhou army, except for Ma Chao, almost no one can do anything to him.
After listening to his lord's words, Cui An immediately shut up, but because he was next to Ma Chao, he didn't shout at the city, but he muttered two sentences in a low voice, all of which were for Ma Chao to listen. And Ma Chao just smiled in his heart, he can be said to know Cui An too well, no matter how he has become much more stable now, but the so-called "the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change", basically many things will never change, right.
After stopping Cui An, Ma Chao personally shouted to the city, "Brothers, whoever goes to invite Zhang Ren to the city will say that I am looking for him!" ”――
Don't look at Ma Chao is the lord, how many states and counties he ruled, and he is a strong general, but in the face of his own soldiers guarding the city, Ma Chao, the lord, is quite polite at this time.
After all, Ma Chao also knows that whoever works for you is not these soldiers, and he will never give up the opportunity to win the hearts of the soldiers. Ma Chao knows that in fact, it is not only himself, but also Cao Cao. It's Sun Ce and Liu Bei, but it's not the same. When they can really win people's hearts, which of them won't do it. So it's all each other.
Many of the soldiers shouted, "No! ”
The soldiers shouted a lot, but there was only one one who went down to the city to find Zhang Ren. Although the distance is not too close, Ma Chao can see that the person who went to find Zhang Ren should be regarded as a small leader, and he should be responsible for guarding the city gate.
At this time, Ma Chao smiled at the people behind him: "Everyone, it seems that we have to wait for a while!" ”――
As soon as Cui An heard his lord's words, he continued to mumble indignantly. "Damn Zhang Ren, he's too good at posing music, don't let me catch him, or he'll look good!"
Cui An was just talking to himself, but in the ears of Ma Chao and many generals, everyone smiled. To be honest, Cui An is such a person, he basically has no scheming, so many years. It's still like this. The brain is not very good, but it can never be said that you are an idiot and a fool, and there must be a difference between this.
Together with Ma Chao, everyone was waiting for Zhang Ren. However, although Zhang Ren did not go out of the city to greet him. And the city gate was even closed, and even the head of the city did not come at this time, but Ma Chao asked the soldiers to invite him again. He was still relatively fast, and everyone just waited for a while. Here he is.
In fact, Zhang Ren is indeed aware that Ma Chao has long known that Ma Chao is coming with troops. But he's really, not ready to go out of town to meet or anything. So he thought so much that even the head of the city, he didn't wait here for Ma Chao and them.
For him, it is actually very simple, he can defend the city here, which is already a great face for Ma Meng, after all, he is not his subordinate, at most it can only be said that he is forced to be helpless, so he has to serve in the Liangzhou army.
But if you want to let yourself out of the city to greet you, at least you can't do it for the time being. It is he Ma Mengqi who is not comparable to himself in terms of status and status, but who makes him not his lord, and he is not his subordinate, so he can not do those things that his subordinates must do, is there any problem with this.
Then since he won't go out of the city to greet him, then he won't wait for him at the head of the city, it's useless. Anyway, if he wants to enter the city, he will call someone to find him, otherwise it will be fine, and nothing else, there is no need for it.
So the soldiers came to invite Zhang Ren, and as soon as they said that the lord invited him outside the city, Zhang Ren came immediately. And in his opinion, Ma Chao still understands his temper relatively well, which is to let him open the city gate for him to enter the city. It's all easy to say, if he Ma Mengqi gives himself a temper, then hehe, I'm sorry, I don't necessarily serve him-
Seeing Zhang Ren appear in the city, Ma Chaoxin said, this uncle is finally here. If you want to talk about this, this is the first time I have encountered it, and it is estimated that Cao Cao and Sun Ce have never encountered it.
Look at him Zhang Ren, this is not his subordinate now, but the uncle, really, he treats himself like this, treats his own soldiers, and he has to greet him with a smile, and he can't say anything, can't lose his temper, can't ......
Ma Chao is crying in his heart, isn't he cheap, how else to explain this?
At this time, Ma Chao hadn't spoken yet, but Zhang Ren spoke first. Anyway, Zhang Ren thinks that Ma Chao has already given himself a lot of face, so this matter is to repay the peach, "People respect me, I respect people." Since he Ma Mengqi has already given himself face, he also has to give others some face, doesn't he. Otherwise, even if he Ma Mengqi might not say anything, but what about his subordinates, it is not necessarily.
But isn't it, look at this time, several people are not good-looking, what do they mean, don't you know? ――
And at this time, I saw Zhang Ren arching his hand at Ma Chao, and then said: "General Ma, don't come unharmed!" Is this going into the city? ”
These words were heard in the ears of Ma Chao and everyone, to be honest, they were all dissatisfied with Zhang Ren in their hearts. But dissatisfied to dissatisfied, his lord didn't say anything, and everyone swallowed their anger. To be honest, when have I ever been treated like this, but today I really met it, and there is nothing wrong with it, and this treatment is still given by my own people.
But isn't it, even if Zhang Ren didn't worship Ma Chao as the main thing, but he did do things in the Liangzhou Army, so everyone naturally classified him into their own camp, but this "own person" should be said to be very special.
Ma Chao rolled his eyes in his heart, and said in his heart that you Zhang Ren asked knowingly, and from the attitude and tone of his speech, it is not difficult to see that you Zhang Ren really don't give yourself a big face. (To be continued......)
