Chapter Thirty-Eight: Entering the County to Discuss the Enemy
If Ma Chao knew, it would be the result of Zhang Ren giving him face, I don't know what he would think. Anyway, the expression must be very exciting, but at this time, I can't see it.
And Zhang Ren's tone of talking to himself is like talking to his colleagues, to say that he is also the leader of the Liangzhou Army, the hussar general of the Han Dynasty, and the Liangzhou pastor, can his Zhang Ren's status be compared with himself? But looking at Ma Chao, he can be regarded as knowing, he Zhang Ren is really, has always been like this, it can be regarded as "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water", yes, that's it.
Anyway, it's a big deal, for him, he just picked on himself and quit, and he didn't have a problem with him. He knew that it was impossible for him to kill him, so how could he convince the public and confess to the world? After all, if that's really the case, I guess no one can come to join the Liangzhou Army.
So at this time, Ma Chao was holding back the anger in his heart, smiled at Zhang Renshi, and said: "Yes, I came from Qichun today, and I want to enter Yi County and discuss the future war with General Zhang!" ”――
Ma Chaoxin said that he is really cheap, he Zhang Ren does not give himself face, and he has to give him a smile, what is this not cheap? But he can only be like this now, or he Zhang Ren won't work, and the loss is still that he is the Liangzhou Army!
Zhang Ren nodded in his heart when he heard this, and then ordered: "Open the city gate!" ”
"No!"
"Squeak ......"
And when they saw their hearts, they said, This gate is at last opened. Ma Chaoxin said. Is this "coming out after a long time", it may be inappropriate, but I am really impatient to wait. Don't say it's yourself. Look at your subordinates, if they weren't here, they wouldn't have to be. If others don't say it, just look at Cui An, and they all understand-
Seeing that the city gate was open at this time, Ma Chao waved his hand to everyone, "Let's enter the city!" ”
"No!"
Although everyone is almost dissatisfied with Zhang Ren. But even he took the initiative to swallow his anger and didn't say anything, what else could he do. But everyone knows more or less in their hearts. In order to make him return to his heart, his father-in-law really put up with him too much. But isn't it, you said that you are doing things in the Liangzhou army, whether it is in the respected generals. A counselor who is valued by his own lord. Who is like him Zhang Ren, who is so rude to his lord.
And it's not just rude, looking at him like that, it's clear that he hasn't put his lord in his eyes all along, otherwise can it still be like this. But also, he Zhang Ren can't be regarded as his lord's subordinate after all, or you can take a look, among his own people. Who dares to be like Zhang Renhe, unless he doesn't want to live. Don't die.
Ma Chao took the lead and entered the city first, even if Zhang Ren didn't return to his heart, but the city was full of his own Liangzhou soldiers, so what else did he have to worry about-
And everyone followed closely, Cui An, Ma Dai and others followed their lords, and they also entered Yi County together. At this time, everyone knew in their hearts that the main battlefield was now near Yi County. Seeing that his lord was going to fight with Cao Cao and Sun Ce and Liu Bei here, he knew that his lord was going to come to the real thing, and it was definitely impossible for people not to know, so the battle was about to be staged.
The people of the Liangzhou Army, like the generals of the Yanzhou Army and the Sun-Liu Coalition Army, are all gearing up, waiting for the upcoming big battle. And they are also confident, although the enemy army is large, and there are more men and horses than their own, this is true, but the final victory or defeat of the war is not determined by the number of men and horses on which side. At least in terms of combat power, everyone knows in their hearts that they will never lose to the enemy, and may even surpass them.
Everyone followed their lord into Yi County, and this time Zhang Ren went down to the city. Anyway, now that Ma Chao and everyone have entered the city, Zhang Ren can't be in the city all the time, so he will come down immediately, or stay in the city all the time, then what's going on-
Everyone saw that Zhang Ren had come down from the city, and they were a little satisfied in their hearts, after all, if he Zhang Ren really didn't understand any reason, maybe someone might be unbearable. People's patience is limited after all, even if Ma Chao is here, it may not be able to prevent a few people from losing their temper with Zhang Ren. After all, there are a few military generals who are good-tempered and don't get angry, is it possible?
At this time, Ma Chao had already come to Zhang Ren's approach, and only heard him say to Zhang Ren: "Annoying General Zhang to take us to the mansion, I have something important to discuss!" ”
Zhang Ren didn't slack off this time, he also knew that this was already the most serious and important thing, if he still didn't give him Ma Chao much face, it is estimated that these people would have to tear themselves apart. However, Zhang Ren is not afraid of this, but to be honest, since he received Ma Chao's letter and came to Yi County, it means that he will not pick and choose not to do it, so of course he is obligated to guard Yi County-
Of course, he knew the intention of Ma Chao and the others, this was to intercept the Yanzhou Army and the Sun Liu Coalition Army here, but for Ma Chao not to inform him before he came, Zhang Ren also understood that with his own attitude, if people could say it, it would be strange.
For what Ma Chao said. Zhang Ren nodded, and then said to Ma Chao and everyone: "Everyone, please!" ”
So everyone followed Zhang Ren. came to the mansion where he lived temporarily, anyway, since he came to Yi County, Zhang Ren has been living here, and now Ma Chao and everyone are also here, naturally Zhang Ren brought them here. As for whether it can fit so many people, it is naturally no problem at all, isn't it a trivial matter?
And all the horses were brought down by soldiers. And Zhang Ren led everyone to the living room. Naturally, he wouldn't be polite to Ma Chao and them, anyway, these places are actually Ma Chao's, and Zhang Ren entered the house. I found a place to sit down. Ma Chao saw his heart and said, you Zhang Ren is really welcome, the first one sat down.
To be honest, I didn't sit down. Do you think any of your subordinates have made a move? ――
Ma Chao sat down on the main seat. Then he pressed his hand to the crowd and said, "Sit down, everybody!" ”
Everyone bowed their hands and said in unison: "Thank you, lord!" ”
Then he found his place and sat down. But the shouting was not small, to be honest, they were all deliberate, just to listen to Zhang Ren. That means you look at you Zhang Ren, but you're really welcome. Look at us, we all have to know etiquette and etiquette.
However, Zhang Ren does not see these things from time to time. Of course, he heard it clearly, yes, but at this time, he didn't look at what everyone was doing, he just closed his eyes and recuperated in his own position. To say that Zhang Ren didn't sit down casually, but found a corner and sat down. He also knew Ma Chao's location, and it was impossible for him to sit if he was killed, and as for other places, he was not Ma Chao's subordinate, and he didn't bother to sit down.
If it weren't for Ma Chao's coming to Yi County, he really had serious business, and if he wanted to fight with the Yanzhou Army and the Sun Liu Coalition Army, he wouldn't have been able to listen to what he said here.
So Zhang Ren's position, at a glance, is very unsociable, but everyone is used to it, and they said in their hearts, this is the best, you Zhang Ren is as far away from us as possible, you disdain to sit with us, do you want to be with you?
Everyone talks a little bit about face, as the saying goes, "people live with a face", since Zhang Ren didn't give face to his lord and his own people before, how can he talk about his own people to give him face. Yes, his lord values him a lot, but if he has always been so ignorant, then is such a person still worth his lord's doing? At least everyone thinks it's not worth it.
Seeing that everyone was sitting down, and seeing that Zhang Ren was pretending to sleep in the corner, Ma Chao just smiled slightly. To be honest, in his opinion, those who achieve big things basically don't have to worry about small things. He Zhang Ren is such a temper, or because he forced him, he made him feel very guilty, so that's it-
But although he didn't want him to do this, but the matter has come to this point, and it's really hard for me to say anything. At least I didn't regret it at the beginning, and now I don't regret it, as for Zhang Ren like this, then I really can't help it. I'm angry and dissatisfied or something.,It's really indispensable.,It's good.,But it's really bearable.,If you can't stand this little thing.,I've been messing around for more than 30 years.,Really.。
Don't talk about yourself, whether it's the traitorous Cao Cao, the little overlord Sun Ce or the heroic Liu Bei, it can be said that when it is time to endure it, can it be said that they can't help it? Of course not, at least Ma Chao knows that they will definitely not be worse than themselves, they can only be better than themselves.
At this time, Ma Chao cleared his throat, and then said: "Everyone, I came to Yi County today to intercept Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army and Sun Ce and Liu Bei's Sun Liu coalition army here!" ”
Ma Chao's words, the tone said that it was for everyone, but it was better to say that it was for Zhang Ren to listen to-
Indeed, the people still don't know what they are doing here. They couldn't be clearer.
So Ma Chao's words were for Zhang Ren to hear, even if he knew it. Zhang Ren must be clear, but he has to say it himself, and it's better to make sure that this matter is better, isn't it.
Sure enough, Zhang Ren was there before with his eyes closed and recuperating, which could be regarded as a fake sleep, but when I heard Ma Chao say this. His eyes opened in an instant. At this time, he said in his heart, sure enough, you Ma Mengqi and everyone came for this matter. It seems that here in Yi County, there is a big war soon!
How Zhang Ren behaved was naturally seen by Ma Chao, but he continued at this time: "We are here today. discussed how to intercept the Yanzhou army and the Sun Liu coalition army. General Zhang, you might as well come and discuss! ”
Zhang Ren listened to it and knew that the last words were the most fundamental thing for Ma Chao, after all, how to say that he Ma Mengqi and his subordinates should have discussed it a long time ago, so although they have to continue to discuss now, they mainly have to participate in themselves, which is important-
Zhang Ren didn't promise. Just nodded in agreement. And Ma Chao and everyone didn't say anything about this.
Of course, I didn't say anything on the surface, but I don't know what I thought in my heart. But I have to say that they are indeed used to Zhang Ren, and if he Zhang Ren hadn't behaved like this, they would have been surprised.
Seeing that Zhang Ren didn't speak, he just nodded, and Ma Chao continued: "Now Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army and Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande's Sun-Liu Alliance Army have not yet arrived, but on the way to Xiling to march into Yixian, there is no good place for ambushes, so this cannot be implemented!" ”
Ma Chao's meaning is simple, that is, if you want to ambush people, you must not work. doesn't have such a good location, not to mention, the strategists under other people's hands are definitely not vegetarians. You said that Xun You, Zhou Yu and Xu Shu, which one is easy to match, so ordinary means are not good for others at all.
It's not that Ma Chao is not confident, but the fact, that's it-
Thinking about it, let's just say that it is a Xun You or a Zhou Yu or a Xu Shu, in fact, take out one casually, Ma Chao thinks that he can't be underestimated, and it is estimated that ordinary means are useless to others.
So now it's not one person, but three people, not to mention Cheng Yu and Liu Ba, so Ma Chao doesn't dare to slack off, he also knows that ordinary small strategies, even if they are implemented, may be in vain in the end. Maybe in the end, it may be possible for someone to give a plan, which is not impossible.
Of course, Ma Chao would not think that Guo Jia's ability is small, on the contrary, Guo Jia's ability is still very large. But if you really compare with these people, if you say that you can deal with one, Ma Chao still has a fluke mentality, but four or five together, Ma Chao definitely doesn't dare to hold it up. Yes, can you underestimate the people of the world, obviously not. And these people, do you dare to underestimate them?
Then it's not good to use the plan, and there is no such geographical advantage, so it's the same as the previous idea, you can only fight with other people, or what do you want to do-
And Ma Chao also thinks that in fact, Cao Cao still has Sun Ce and Liu Bei, and they have the same idea as himself. After all, at this time, they also estimated that there was no good way or strategy that could be effective for their own side. After all, the two sides combined, hundreds of thousands of men and horses, how else can they use tactics to destroy the enemy? If you want to say that there is a situation like the Battle of Chibi, it can only be a minority, and really in history, Cao Cao's side definitely does not have more than 800,000 horses, isn't it a joke.
Yes, how can there be more than 800,000 horses, but there are more than 80,000 horses. However, now Cao Cao is in Jingzhou, there are not 80,000 horses, but Sun Ce and Liu Bei, together, have more than 100,000 horses, so Ma Chao also has to pay attention to it. And he is not facing one side, he is not facing one side, carefully calculated that it is three parties, three strong princes, even if there is a gap between Liu Bei and Cao Cao and Sun Ce's strength, but can he underestimate him, obviously he can't.
Who dares not to pay attention to Liu Bei and underestimate him, the last one to suffer is definitely you. Isn't Cao Cao careless, or Liu Bei can run away from under his nose? ――
And this matter has always been regarded by Cao Cao as a great shame in his life, and Ma Chao still knows it.
After listening to his lord's words, everyone couldn't stop nodding, it was Zhang Ren, after listening to Ma Chao's words, he also agreed in his heart. Because that's the way it is, if you can't use it, but are used by others, then the losses will be incalculable.
Indeed, even Zhang Ren knows that Guo Jia is powerful, but the reputation of the enemy army in the world may not be much smaller than Guo Jia, and some people are even more famous than him. (To be continued......)
