In Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei's central army tent, the subordinates of the three came to the conclusion that Gao Pei and Deng Xian were going to run away, so the three made a quick decision.
"Send troops immediately!"
"promise!"
In Cao Cao's central army tent, he ordered to send troops to Yundu City immediately. After all, occupying the city has long been beneficial to their Yanzhou army.
And in Sun Ce's central army tent, "send troops!"
"promise!"
Liu Bei’s Central Army tent, “Everyone, send troops to Yundu City!”
"promise!"
Almost all of them were staged in the same scene, and no one was willing to fall behind. They ordered soldiers almost at the same time and then rushed towards Yundu.
-----------------------------------------------------
The Yanzhou Army and the Sun and Liu coalition, or to be more precise, the Yanzhou Army, the Jiangdong Army and the Liu Bei army, rushed to Yundu City almost at the same time. After all, according to the previous consultation, whoever occupied Yundu first could get the greatest benefit. Even if Sun Ce did not value Yundu City so much, he did not say that he would give Yundu to Cao Cao and Liu Bei. How could this be possible?
The Yanzhou Army, Jiangdong Army and Liu Bei Army arrived at the gate of Yundu City almost at the same time. Although Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei all saw each other, no one said anything or said hello at this time, but they all remembered the previous agreement.
The city did not enter the city at the same time, but the Yanzhou army, the Jiangdong army, and finally the Liu Bei army entered Yundu City in this order. As for whether it was the Liangzhou army's plan, whether there were ambushes or something in the city, Cao Cao and the others had thought about it. However, they all knew that it was almost impossible. But even so, the three of them had prepared long ago.
-----------------------------------------------------
So it was impossible for them to enter the city without any precautions. Cao Cao, a cautious person, was the first to let his subordinates lead troops into the city. This has to be said to be how determined he was to capture Yundu City. In fact, it was not difficult to think of this. After all, in the world, Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army was indeed the most powerful, but in Jingzhou, Cao Mengde now had the least powerful force, occupying a Xiangyang City, which was not as good as Liu Bei and Ma Chao. Even Sun Ce could not compare to him.
Even though Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army is now lost, there is still Guiyang County, right? As for Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army, there is only one Xiangyang, and the others are gone.
So in this way, Cao Cao and the others completely occupied Yundu. However, Gao Pei and Deng Xian had long left. At this time, they were already quite far away from Yundu.
Gao Pei and Deng Xian were heading east with their remaining soldiers. At this time, they were on the way to march. Gao Pei shouted to his Liangzhou soldiers: "Brothers, marching urgently and strive to arrive in Qichun as soon as possible!"
"promise!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Not long after, the two of them led their troops to Qichun. Although it was their first time here, they had been famous for the Qichun place for a long time. And they were quite well-known. After all, the Sun and Liu coalition forces had more than 100,000 troops, but they also did not break through Qichun City, so this city was famous all over the world. Indeed, many people in the world did not know about Qichun before, but after the battle of Qichun, they knew a lot.
Ma Chao closed his eyes in the mansion to rest, and then he heard the soldiers come to report: "Report to the lord, Gao Pei and Deng Xian, the two generals, ask for a meeting outside the mansion!"
When Ma Chao heard this, he opened his eyes and said to the soldiers: "Let them come in!"
"promise!"
The soldiers went down to pass the order, and Ma Chao said to himself: "Gao Pei, Deng Xian is back."
-----------------------------------------------------
After a while, the two of them entered the house. After seeing Ma Chao, they quickly bowed and said, "Gao Pei (Deng Xian), I have met the lord!"
Ma Chao nodded to the two of them, and then said, "Sit down, you two!"
Gao Pei and Deng Xian looked at each other, and then said to his lord: "Lord, I'm here to apologize, why dare to say that I'm going to sit down?"
Ma Chao smiled at them and said, "It's because Yundu City is lost?"
The two nodded. Ma Chao had known that Yun Du had lost a long time ago. And Gao Pei and Deng Xian sent a quick horse to Qichun to report, so of course they were not surprised. Besides, both of them have appeared in Qichun now, so isn't it conceivable how the situation in Yun Du City is.
When Ma Chao saw the two nodded and their expressions, he waved his hand and asked, "Do you still remember the contents of the letter I wrote to you?"
-----------------------------------------------------
Deng Xian said: "Natural."
Gao Pei also answered the same way, while Ma Chao smiled and said, "Then you won't forget what I said. Could it be that the withdrawal of the army is because of what I said in my letter?"
Then Ma Chao asked the two again, "What I said in my letter, you can tell me!"
Gao Pei said, "The lord's intention is that if things cannot be done, then you should abandon Yundu and lead your troops back to Qichun!"
Ma Chao smiled when he heard this, "That's right, that's right. So it doesn't matter if Yundu loses it, and you are not a big mistake. Don't mention this matter again!"
When the two heard this, they knew what their lord meant, but in their opinion, their lord was indeed quite generous and open-minded, at least they did not blame them because they lost the city. Although the lord had written a letter in person, it still could not change their gratitude.
-----------------------------------------------------
And this has to be said that Ma Chao's way of governing the country is indeed good, even if Gao Pei and Deng Xian are just third-rate generals. And there are quite a few generals of this level in the Liangzhou army, but he made the two of them grateful, so why worry about not serving him?
Afterwards, Ma Chao comforted the two of them a few more words, and then said to them: "You both have worked hard all the way. Let's go back and rest at this time. Just discuss matters before the Xu hour!"
"promise!"
Gao Pei and Deng Xian agreed in unison. This time they were indeed preparing to be punished by their lord. Although their lord said that they could abandon the city, if they lost the city, they would be lost, so they were also ready to be punished. But in the end, their lord did not punish the two of them. So they were indeed a little happy. After all, who wanted to be punished for no reason? Gao Pei and Deng Xian would definitely not be like this.
-----------------------------------------------------
After the two of them agreed, they took back with Ma Chao, and Ma Chao nodded to the two.
After Gao Pei and Deng Xian retreated, Ma Chao rubbed his forehead. Although he really didn't care about Yundu City. This is true, it would be impossible to say that he was not interested in Jiangxia's war. Now he just lost Yundu, so tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...
Ma Chao came to the hanging map of Jingzhou. He looked at it for a long time, then just shook his head, and then left the mansion to meet the Liangzhou soldiers guarding Yundu City brought back by Gao Pei and Deng Xian.
In his opinion, it was indeed necessary for him to see them. After all, they have made a lot of efforts to defend Yundu City. And his lord should be to comfort him, at least let them know that his lord will not forget them.
Ma Chao believes that if he does this, he will definitely win the morale of the army, so this will definitely not be a loss-making business, but will also make a big profit.
-----------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao met the ones brought back by Gao Pei and Deng Xian. It should be said that they were remnants, those soldiers from Liangzhou.
When they met their lord, to be honest, most people were very uneasy, or how could they calm down? After all, if their lord led troops to fight, it would be normal to see their lord. But what is going on now? His thousands of people are still defeated, but they didn't expect that their lord would come in person, so they were really flattered.
Many people were embarrassed to lower their heads. After all, if they made meritorious service, then it would be fine if their lord came to see it, but they were defeated, so...
When Ma Chao saw the expressions of everyone, he shouted to the soldiers of Liangzhou: "Brothers, the military strategy says 'Victory and defeat are common affairs'! Now our army is defeated, Yundu City is lost, but it is not with you!"
Ma Chao distinguished the responsibilities in just one sentence, and that was not your responsibility.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Fighting against nearly 200,000 people, let alone our army has only a few thousand people, even tens of thousands of people may not be able to do it!"
This is what Ma Chao said in his heart. After all, the people are placing on them. If you don’t admit it, it’s really powerful. This is certain and cannot be ignored, right?
Then Ma Chao said, "So, the matter in Yundu City is not on everyone's side, so brothers don't have to blame themselves! In the future, brothers need to work together to fight the enemy together! What do you think?"
The soldiers shouted: "Fight against the enemy with all their might! Fight against the enemy with all their might!"
Ma Chao smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then he waved his hand, and the soldiers stopped shouting, and then he shouted: "Okay, everyone is worthy of being a man for my Liangzhou army, I am proud of you!"
The soldiers shouted in unison: "Magnificent! Magnificent!"
Ma Chaoxin said that today's goal is to achieve it, and the effect is really good.
-----------------------------------------------------
Just after the Xu hour, people arrived in Ma Chao's mansion one after another. After all, he had already asked his soldiers to inform his subordinates. At the Xu hour, he came to discuss matters, so it was impossible for everyone not to come.
After a while, everyone arrived, and even Gao Pei and Deng Xian had arrived. When everyone saw it, they knew that Yundu City had been lost, but they didn't know. Seeing that they were also here, the fool understood what was going on, so there were a few people who couldn't help frowning. There was no way, and they had to worry.
After everyone came, Ma Chao said to them: "Everyone. Some people already know, but some people didn't know before, but now they should know it!"
"Yes, that's right, the Sun Liu coalition of Cao Mengde and Yanzhou Army, combined with Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande, has invaded our Jiangxia, and now Yundu City has been lost!"
When everyone heard this, they thought it was true! I heard that it was a mood before, but after hearing the exact news from my lord, it could be said that it was another mood. Anyway, it must be not a good mood.
-----------------------------------------------------
To be honest, everyone is basically the same as Ma Chao, and they don’t value Yundu City so much. But how to say it? After all, Jiangxia’s own side has occupied it for a long time. Even though the Sun and Liu coalition forces were blocked by the Qichun war before, they captured Xiling City on their way westward to Xiangyang, but later Xiling was still taken away by them. So from this we can see that Jiangxia, even one city or two cities, would not be too much valued by everyone. But they would definitely not allow outsiders to be involved in this.
What's more, whether it is Cao Cao's Yanzhou army or Sun Ce and Liu Bei's Sun and Liu Bei's Sun and Liu Bei's Sun and Liu, they are all enemies. And now they have joined forces, and they are even more powerful enemies among the strong enemies, so war is definitely inevitable, but how to do it needs to be carefully considered.
So everyone knew in their hearts that at this time, their lord summoned him and others to come, just to discuss how to fight the enemy. After all, they had already hit the doorstep, were they just defending, or taking the initiative, or...
At this time, everyone was looking at their lords, seeing what else they had to say.
-----------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao looked at the expressions of everyone. He was satisfied and continued, "The enemy is now powerful and powerful. It can be said that it is the only force I have seen in these years. But I think our army is fearless about it. After all, the other party has only been temporarily united, so what we say is that our army has some concerns about them will not make our army nervous, right?"
When everyone heard his lord's words, many people laughed. It was rare that his lord would say this half-jokingly when he was so nervous. But think about it carefully, in fact, his lord was right, isn't that the same? There must be some concerns, this is true, but if you want to say how afraid of them, you will definitely not be able to do this. Although it is impossible not to be afraid at all, it is just not that serious, isn't it?
Then he heard Ma Chao say again: "Now they are riding on our heads to stool and pee. I wonder what you think about this?"
The first person to speak was Cui An. As soon as Ma Chao finished speaking, he said, "Lord, what kind of damn coalition forces are really hateful. Damn it. If you give me tens of thousands of troops, I will bring you that Cao Heizi, his little grandson and his big-eared head back!"
-----------------------------------------------------
When everyone heard Cui An's words, everyone laughed. To be honest, it is probably only Cui An who can call Cao Cao Heizi. But when everyone thought, Cui An was right. Cao Cao was indeed a little darker than others, which is certain. Cao Cao didn't have much characteristics in appearance, but he was just a little darker than others, shorter than others, and then disappeared.
But to be honest, no one can compare to his treacherous heroic posture. At least no one dares to underestimate him. That is, someone like Cui An would say that.
Cao Cao didn't have much characteristics, but Liu Bei was definitely a characteristic. At least his arms were longer than ordinary people and his ears were larger than ordinary people, which was correct. As for the last Sun Ce, it was the appearance of a pure military general, so it was not too surprising. His brother Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou were a bit alien. It made people feel that he didn't look like a man from a big man, and he felt that he had a bit of an alien meaning, with blue eyes and purple beards. This is indeed not everyone like this.
When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help laughing, thinking that if you dare to call Cao Cao and Sun Ce, Cui An would be the only one. As for Liu Bei, there are so many people who call him Big Ears. Although the people like Liu Bei, these princes are really good. Few people think that Liu Bei is good.
-----------------------------------------------------
I saw Ma Chao sway his hand at this time, which meant, stop laughing, listen to me say a few words.
Chapter completed!
