Chapter Twenty-Five: The Allied Troops Leave Xiling (continued)
Jiangxia ruled Xiling City, it can be said that among the three of them, Cao Cao is naturally Sun Ce who has the deepest relationship with it, and it is indeed him.
And in this regard, whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, it is clear to know. From the very beginning, the Sun-Liu coalition army was blocked in Jiangxia Qichun, and when the attack was fruitless for many days, Sun Ce and Liu Bei rushed to Xiangyang in Nanjun with their own soldiers.
On the way to Xiangyang, Sun Ce intended to occupy Xiling City, and Liu Bei had no opinion, the two hit it off, so there was a scene where Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army occupied Xiling City. However, the good times did not last long, and after the Sun and Liu coalition troops went to Nanjun, Ma Chao's Liangzhou army made a comeback not long after, this time it was definitely not something that Sun Ce's Jiangdong army could resist, so Xiling City was lost again, and then until now-
Outside Xiling City, Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei also sighed a little when they looked at this Jiangxia place.
Originally, this Jingzhou belonged to Liu Jingsheng, the pastor of Jingzhou, but unfortunately, he died of illness, and then the two sons were worse than the other, and the result became what it is now.
Originally, Jiangxia was Liu Qi's territory in the end, but as soon as he saw Sun Ce coming over with the Jiangdong army, Liu Qi was scared away, and now he is still hiding in the generals, so he doesn't dare to come out. However, Cao Cao and Sun Ce both know that this is really cheap Liu Bei, Liu Da'er, isn't it, Liu Qi's little bit of talent. Isn't it no different from him Liu Bei's own people?
Liu Qi has no great skills. It's a person who doesn't have any opinions, so if you want to be a puppet or something. It can be said that he is a very suitable person. Now that he is cowering in Jiangling, to be honest, he doesn't know what Liu Bei wants to do with him. However, Cao Cao and Sun Ce have some ideas in their hearts, at least Liu Bei will never kill Liu Qi, after all, Liu Bei is a person who cherishes his wings very much, and he can be said to value things like false names more than anyone else-
Isn't it, if it weren't for that, there wouldn't be so much of a mess.
You just said Liu Bei all these years. For more than ten years, how much has he done for his reputation. At least Cao Cao, or Sun Ce, but I really haven't heard anyone scolding Liu Bei or anything. To tell the truth, both of them know that there are more people who scold him Cao Cao Cao Mengde, and there are many people who scold him Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, even Ma Chao. It was not for nothing that scolded him. But it's Liu Bei, to be honest, it seems that I haven't heard of it.
So the two of them have to admit it, do you say that Liu Bei has no ability? That's definitely impossible, on the contrary, in some places, it really can't compare to others. And the two of them absolutely don't believe it either. No one scolded him Liu Bei Liu Xuande, but in comparison. It must be a minority, a very small minority. That's right.
Cao Cao and Sun Ce can't say that they are envious and jealous of Liu Qi for taking refuge in Liu Bei, but more or less, they do still have some ideas, and this is not wrong-
Anyway, Liu Qi's people are definitely a big help. Especially for a prince like Liu Bei, who doesn't have much strength and doesn't have many people, even if it's a few thousand, it's not a lot of meat, isn't it.
At least they all knew that in Liu Bei's thoughts, this was definitely the case.
Under the orders of their lords, the Yanzhou army and the Sun-Liu coalition army set up a large camp outside Xiling City. Now their morale is indeed high, no matter what, it is also the capture of the two county towns in Jiangxia, and it is still to let the enemy "flee from the wind". Although they also held on for a few days, they thought so that the Liangzhou army finally fled.
Therefore, even the strongest soldiers in the world and recognized as the strongest are not their opponents, so what difficulties and enemies are there that they cannot overcome and cannot be defeated.
This can't be said to be a self-confidence expansion, but to say that after such two siege battles, because of the victory, it really made the soldiers of Yanzhou and the soldiers of the Sun-Liu coalition army a little fluttering, after all, they are not saints, so how can they not be proud and ...... -
And for these things, it can be said that Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei know more or less.
But even so, they really don't have much to do about it. Why do you say that, the so-called "don't eat a trench, don't grow a wisdom", in fact, this is the truth. If their own side has always been smooth sailing, for example, the war in Jiangxia, if it has always been like this, then no matter what several people say, they know that it is of no great use at all.
Because you have been victorious, you say those words, even if you are the lord, but the soldiers don't like to listen to them. Several people have been lords for so many years, and they are all superiors, don't they know this?
So if you really want them to change, a few people are not unclear in their hearts, then they can only let their own side suffer, and it can't be too small a loss. At that time, even if a few of them don't say anything, many soldiers will know to reflect on themselves, after all, the facts are in front of you, what else do you have to say.
And people are thoughtful, and it's impossible not to think about anything, so several people also know that their side needs opportunities, and that can be to progress-
The keeper of Xiling City was Liao Hua, and he was also sent by Ma Chao in the end.
To be honest, it's been so many years, and Liao Hua has indeed accepted this lord from the heart, which is right.
As for Ma Chao, he is not a person who has always been so stingy, or who remembers so deeply. The so-called people respect me a foot, I respect people, although Liao Hua is his own subordinate, but it has changed the original way, so since it has become what he wants, then of course he will not always let it go. So Ma Chao also knows that when he can use others, he should use it.
Otherwise, it will definitely make some people think in their hearts that they are too stingy as the lord, if this is the case, it must be unavoidable.
For his subordinates, including Liao Hua, and for Ma Chao, the most important thing is to be misunderstood and misunderstood by his subordinates, and then have different thoughts, or other ideas-
Indeed, it can be said that this is the case, even Ma Chao thinks that his subordinates can be said to be basically loyal.
But this matter is only superficial, at least what they really think, and it doesn't mean that Ma Chao can know and understand.
Take Liao Hua as an example, no matter how long the generals have been in refuge with him, they basically know some things about him and himself. So how do you treat today's Liaohua, I have to say that this is definitely not a trivial matter.
If Liao Hua is still dissatisfied with himself, doesn't want to be his subordinate, and doesn't recognize himself as the lord, then he doesn't say that he doesn't reuse him, even if he kills him, it is estimated that his subordinates will not have too many complaints. But what is the situation now, is that people have realized that they used to be wrong, so they are no longer what they used to be, so if they are the lords, if they treat others the same as before, it should not be.
At least let people see that if they are the lords, they will not do very well, which will inevitably make people have some ideas-
How can I say it, if I look at my subordinates, Liao Hua has changed, but as for my lord, he still treats him the same as before. On the surface, they may not say anything, but there will inevitably be something in their hearts, which is definitely not impossible, anyway, it is very likely to happen.
Some people should not have no ideas, but it does not mean that everyone is not. So Ma Chao knew that he couldn't help but prevent this, and especially for Liao Hua, if he really didn't use him, it would indeed be unfair to him.
Yes, Liao Hua really doesn't have any big skills, he knows this, and others also know it. But this doesn't mean that I don't use him, at least even if I don't reuse him, but in some places, it's not that I can't use him.
What's more, the Liangzhou Army was originally a big family, but now it is also a big business, and it needs a kind of talent, no matter how capable you are, as long as you are loyal, you can be used by yourself-
There is one more update (to be continued......)
