Chapter 761: Meng Qi led his troops into Nanjun
PS: Thank you for the tips of dreamless book friends for the text is always expensive~
Sun Ce once again led his troops to Jiangxia and won the first battle. First, Zhou Yu defeated Gan Xingba in the Yangtze River, and then Dong Xi led his troops to capture Qichun, and Gan Ning had no choice but to retreat and disappeared, but the Jiangdong army won a complete victory, and the morale of the soldiers was even higher.
After Sun Ce led everyone into Qichun, he ordered the Jiangdong soldiers to rest here, and then marched to the northwest-
Ma Chao was from Jizhou and led the troops back to Sili Chang'an. And after he led the troops back to Chang'an, he only rested for one day, and then set off again with the troops. He made it clear to everyone, and everyone has been negotiating, that is, not to march from Nanyang, but to Hanzhong, and send troops from Hanzhong to Nanjun, as for Nanyang, let's give it to Cao Cao. Anyway, he definitely won't attack Xinye, after all, Zhuge Liang is not a good stubble, as for Cao Cao's words, he had better not attack Xinye, or hang.
In fact, Ma Chao thought clearly, if he was Cao Cao, at least he would not move Xinye now, but directly entered Jiangxia from Yuzhou, which is the best policy, as for attacking Xinye, even if he won the front line of Xinye, it will definitely not be less casualties. What kind of person is Zhuge Liang, anyway, Ma Chao is troublesome, he doesn't want to go, but Cao Cao is willing to take the lead, and he is happy to see this. To say that Cao Cao has lost less over the years, he has almost forgotten what it is like to fail.
After the most embarrassing Ma Chao, he asked Cui An, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Ma Dai, Guan Hai, Mi Fang, Wu Anguo, Zang Ba, Liao Hua, Wei Ping, Guo Jia and Liu Ye to go on an expedition with him to attack Jingzhou. As for Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, they had already let Ma Chao stay in Jizhou. After all, Zhao Yun is very familiar with Jizhou, so he will hand it over to him for the time being. Ma Chao is relieved. So leave him and defend Jizhou instead of himself. Although Ma Chao didn't think that Cao Cao would compete with him for Jizhou now, he had to guard against it.
Even if Cao Cao is in a hurry to attack Youzhou in Hebei now, but in Jizhou, he has to be careful. So Ma Chao left Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, who can be regarded as a super strong figure, and he also sent Huang Quan to Jizhou, plus the few who stayed in Jizhou before, so Ma Chao believed it. With these people here, plus their own Liangzhou soldiers and horses, it can be said that even if Cao Cao personally led a large army to attack, generally speaking, if nothing else. That can hold on for a long time-
When Ma Chao arrived in Hanzhong, Liu Bei had already taken Xiangyang at that time. Troops are being reorganized. Prepare to continue the assault on Gangneung.
In Hanzhong, Ma Chao also brought some people from Hanzhong, adding up, a total of 100,000 people, and Ma Chao directly led troops from Hanzhong into Nanjun.
When Ma Chaobing came to Xiangyang City, Liu Bei was fighting Cai Mao outside Jiangling City. Ma Chao arrived in Xiangyang. Only then did he realize that Liu Bei had pressed such a strong city at a very small price. But although he left 3,000 men and horses for Tai Shici, he had to say it. I really can't underestimate these 3,000 people. After all, Wen Ping didn't use Xiangyang's city defense at all before, so Wei Yan surrendered to the enemy and opened the city gate.
So the things that Wenpin didn't use, aren't they all cheap Liu Bei in the end. After all, where is Wen Ping now, he has already run back to Jiangling, but Xiangyang is occupied by Liu Bei, and Tai Shici is responsible for guarding this city-
At this time, Ma Chao was in the big tent of the Chinese army, Ma Chao said to everyone: "Now everyone knows the specific situation of Xiangyang City. Wei Wenchang surrendered to the enemy, opened the city gate, and let Liu Beijun enter the city, Wenpin had no time to defend at all, and Liu Bei's army entered Xiangyang City. So now all the rolling wood and stones in Xiangyang City can be said to be basically no consumption, and these days, I want to come to Taishi Ziyi will not be less to store these things, so tomorrow's battle is definitely a tough battle, although it is a temptation, but I hope you can go all out and do your best!! β
When everyone heard this, they shouted in unison, "No! We will obey the Lord's command! β
Ma Chao nodded, "Okay, then, then everyone will go back." Tomorrow, fight the enemy! β
"No!" After the promise was promised, everyone came out of the big tent one after anotherβ
After everyone left one after another, only Ma Chao and Guo Jia were left in the big tent, and at this time Ma Chao asked: "What is the purpose of Fengxiao here?" β
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Doesn't the lord have something to say to Jia?" β
Ma Chao also smiled, "It seems that I really can't hide my filial piety, indeed, I have a few words to say." β
Guo Jia nodded, knowing that his lord was like this, and at this time, he heard Ma Chao say, "Actually, everyone has a question, but no one asks." That's why our army did not attack Xinye, but made a detour to Hanzhong and entered Nanjun from the east of Hanzhong! β
"The lord's words are good, in fact, everyone does have doubts about this, but the lord didn't say it before, so presumably the lord also has his own intentions, but he didn't have time to say it, right?"
"Hahaha! Feng Xiao said well, in fact, I didn't explain it to you, but now I can talk to Feng Xiao first. β
"Jia is listening!"
Then, Ma Chao expressed his worries about Zhuge Liang, for him, if he really spent so much money to win Xinye, then he would rather not. However, I also thought of another possibility, that is, I didn't go to attack Xinye, but Cao Cao went, and the result was the most ......-
After listening to what his lord said, Guo Jia also nodded. To tell the truth, he only learned about it today, and it turned out that his lord took a detour because of this. But what kind of person is Zhuge Zhuge Kongming, since he can make his lord value it so much. If you want to say that your lord can attach so much importance to the person, it is definitely a great talent in the world, it must be rare, it seems that Zhuge Kongming is such a talent.
Thinking of this, Guo Jia is a little regretful, after all, there is such a talent, but it can't be for a while, isn't it a pity. However, Guo Jia also knew that this person was really as important as his lord, if he was a great talent, he would be able to deal with him sooner or later.
At this time, Guo Jia said to his lord: "Lord, since Zhuge Kongming can make the lord value him so much, then his person must not be able to compete with ordinary people." The lord's intention is to take Xinye, and our army's losses are too great, in fact, this is understandable. And our army is also beneficial to Zhou, adjacent to Jingzhou, it can be said that it has taken a detour, and it is nothing. It's just that the lord admires Zhuge Kongming so much, so if Cao Mengde attacks Xinye......"
Guo Jia didn't say any more, and there was no need to say anything about the rest of the words, whether it was himself or Ma Chao, they all understood.
But at this time, the two looked at each other and smiled. If Cao Cao really led his troops to Xinye, it would be strange if he didn't suffer a loss. After all, Cao Cao's character is now the time when he is easy to scheming. Because he was in Jizhou before, even if he didn't occupy as many counties as he owned, he had to say that he had indeed achieved the goal he had thought of before. So even if Cao Cao is more satisfied with this, and he is proud, not to mention forgetting, but he is indeed starting to float, so he is already very dangerous.
Cao Cao is like this, if he comes to a big defeat, even if it is his mistake, he will never say that he is wrong, because the lord will never be wrong. The wrong person is a subordinate, not a lord, that's what he thinks. But at this time, although Cao Cao would not admit anything, he would reflect on himself, and after knowing his mistakes, he would warn himself not to make the same mistakes in the future.
Therefore, Cao Cao, in addition to not admitting his mistakes in front of his subordinates, can still know his mistakes and correct them. But the good times are only a few days, and when he triumphs all the way, or when he is in high spirits, the old mistakes will still be made, so at that time, he basically can't listen to the persuasion of others, and then insists on going his own way, and finally falls into the plan of others, which once again leads to a big defeat. This is Cao Cao, the traitor of troubled times-
Ma Chao said slowly: "Fengxiao, now in order to avoid too many casualties in our army, I have to give up Xinye." If Cao Mengde personally led the troops to Xinye, then Xinye would definitely be very interesting. It's just a pity, I can't see such a good scene! β
Saying that, Ma Chao shook his head, how regretful it would be. And Guo Jia said: "My lord, since my lord thinks that Zhuge Kongming can make Cao Mengde suffer. So if they really lead troops to attack Xinye, it will be very beneficial to our army! β
When Ma Chao heard this, he thought for a while, and then nodded. This is indeed the case, after all, Cao Cao's army was blocked by Zhuge Liang in Xinye, even if it was only for a few days, it would be good for him. After all, the fewer people who come to Jingzhou, the more benefits they can get, and in the same way, if the more people come to share the benefits, then the less they will definitely get when they come here, that's the reason.
"I hope Cao Mengde can really be like this, in that case, for our army, the benefits are indeed many. And Zhuge Kongming helped us a lot unintentionally! β
After Guo Jia listened to his lord's words, he nodded. If that Zhuge Liang is really like this, then he will definitely make Cao Mengde suffer a big loss, and seeing that both of them want to "sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight", this is indeed what they want to see the most.
