So you don’t admit this, “the name of a person and the shadow of a tree”, isn’t that the case? Even Zhang Ren has never missed the plan of these people, but it does not mean that he doesn’t know the power of Xun You and the others, what is “the nameless scholar under the reputation”? In fact, that’s what it means.

Ma Chao said at the end: "Therefore, our army can only block the Yanzhou army and Sun and Liu coalition forces here. I wonder what you think?"

As a result, after Ma Chao spoke, he secretly observed Zhang Ren's reaction. Of course, this was what he said to Zhang Ren. He had finished speaking. It was impossible for him, Zhang Ren, to not respond at this time, right?

Sure enough, as soon as Ma Chao finished speaking, Cui An and the others didn't say anything at this time, because they had already heard their lord say this, otherwise what did they do now? The key is that everyone understands what their lord meant, so even though their lord asked this, Zhang Ren didn't say anything, so of course they wouldn't say anything.

At this time, Zhang Ren was still talking, and he couldn't help but not say it. After all, it was related to his next action, so...

-----------------------------------------------------

I heard Zhang Ren say to Ma Chao and to everyone, "General Ma, everyone, I think this is indeed the most appropriate thing now!"

No matter what, in front of so many people and Ma Chao's subordinates, Zhang Ren rarely puts himself in a relatively low position. No matter how you say that Zhang Ren is not a particularly arrogant person, of course. After all, he has been famous for many years, so he has pride in the end, but this is unavoidable.

After hearing Zhang Ren's words, Ma Chao nodded. Of course, if Zhang Ren was his subordinate, Ma Chao wouldn't have said so many words, but now the situation is not like this, so it must be like this.

After Zhang Ren finished speaking and expressed his opinion, the others were not willing to be outdone. Everyone knew that his lord was for Zhang Ren to listen, but everyone had to accompany him to act.

-----------------------------------------------------

Ma Chao made a decision: "Since that's the case, everyone has agreed. Then this matter is decided! The Yanzhou Army and the Sun and Liu coalition forces, as long as we come here, it will be the day when our army fights it!"

When everyone heard this, they were full of confidence. Of course, no one would retreat at this time. They were all looking forward to it, but they killed the Yanzhou army and the Sun and Liu coalition forces to be defeated. Even if this happens, their own side will have to suffer a lot, but if they can really defeat the other side and even drive them out of Jingzhou directly, it can be said that everything is worth it, isn't it?

"I hope you can put in a lot of strength. The victory or defeat will be here!"

"No! Everything will be fulfilled by the Lord's expectations!"

Even Zhang Ren shouted to everyone. But of course he wouldn't call Ma Chao the lord. But no matter what, since he came to Zhu County and defended the city, it really means that in his heart, he also thought that he could meet the Yanzhou Army and the Sun and Liu coalition forces for a while. For a general like him, the stronger the enemy, the more he could show his level, right?

-----------------------------------------------------

Indeed, it is still the same. If you always fight against someone weaker than you, then you will almost never make any progress, or you will basically not make any progress. Only when you are strong when you are strong can you make progress, or after failure, you will see your own shortcomings, and then you will be brave and truly improve yourself.

Always winning blindly may not be a good thing for yourself. Otherwise, only if someone has a comparable opponent or even a stronger opponent, and those who really understand the situation know that this is definitely a good thing. Only in this way can you surpass yourself, right?

Now, for the Yanzhou Army, the Sun and Liu coalition and the Liangzhou Army, this is actually the case. Although they are not very sure and will definitely defeat the other party, they all think that at least the other party is not weaker than their opponents, which is correct. They did not say with certainty that their side must be much better than the other party, and they would not be so arrogant.

-----------------------------------------------------

But indeed, if you have such an opponent, whether it is Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Liu Bei, or Ma Chao, they all know that this is not a good thing. Only at this time, when both sides are equal in size can you see more clearly who is the stronger one, "the strong one has a strong one." Both sides want to defeat each other immediately, but the result is what it will take, and they have to know it after fighting. However, both sides have confidence, but this is correct.

Ma Chao gave a few more words, and then it was over. Zhang Ren arranged a place for everyone to live. Originally, who asked him to come first, and it has been so long, so although he was unwilling to do this, he must have arranged it. Otherwise, we can't let Ma Chao find a place by himself. Zhang Ren is not the kind of person who can't see the situation. He knows that he hasn't arrived today for a day, and Ma Chao's subordinates have already seen that he is not good enough. If he really challenges their nerves, this will be bad.

Although Zhang Ren is not afraid of trouble, generally speaking, he definitely does not want to cause trouble. And now it is the critical moment, fighting against the Yanzhou Army and the Sun and Liu coalition forces is the main thing, the top priority, and everything else must be put aside, right?

-----------------------------------------------------

"Order the entire army and march quickly!"

"promise!"

"The lord has an order, march quickly!"

"Master..."

...

The same thing happened in the Sun and Liu coalition office in the rear. Because of the small number of soldiers in Yanzhou, Cao Cao always marched at the front, and behind was the Sun and Liu coalition army. Although Cao Cao didn't want to do this, there was no way. Sun Ce and Liu Bei had many reasons, so they could only walk at the end. However, everyone knows that there were no ambushing places along the way, and there were so many people on his side, which did not mean that you could ambush like you were ambushing.

The three of them had already agreed and had to arrive in Zhu County as soon as possible. If they could take down Zhu County before Ma Chao Liangzhou's army came, it would be beneficial to them.

-----------------------------------------------------

After the Yanzhou army and the Sun and Liu coalition forces had entered the territory of Zhu County, the Yanzhou army explored Malai News: "Report to the lord. Ma Mengqi personally led the Liangzhou army to Zhu County!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought that it was true that the speed was much faster than his side. What does this mean? It means that Ma Chao was ready early and was waiting to come here to stop the troops of his side and Sun and Liu coalition! Otherwise, from Qichun to Zhu County, it can be said that Xiling is far away, so why are he still running in front of him? It is not that his side is not as fast as his side, but that he left early, so that's why!

Cao Cao waved his hand and said two words to the horse: "Try again!"

"promise!"

The same was true for the horse-striking departure in front of Sun Ce and Liu Bei. The two were similar to what Cao Cao thought, and thought to himself that Ma Mengqi had indeed come, haha. He had been waiting for them for a long time.

-----------------------------------------------------

Although Ma Chao has led his army to Zhu County, his speed is not slow. Hasn't he already entered the territory of Zhu County? Of course, it is unknown where Ma Chao wants to fight with his side, but whether it is Sun Ce or Liu Bei, he knows that Ma Chao must also fight with his side in the territory of Zhu County.

It is definitely not going to leave this place. It is not difficult to know that it must be like this, just because he has brought so many of them. Besides, even near Zhu County, there is really no place for decisive battles. The Yangtze River can fight water battles, but can Ma Chao do that? Not to mention that he doesn’t have so many ships, even if he prepares, it doesn’t take much time. In addition, when fighting water battles, our side does not have so many ships, but it’s not impossible to make it prepare.

More importantly, it is to be true to one's own worries. It is a long way to go. In addition to Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army, the Jiangdong Army is also afraid of water warfare? Even if it is Liu Bei's army, there are many people who are not water warfare idiots, but they are much stronger than Yanzhou Army and Liangzhou Army!

-----------------------------------------------------

So there is no good battlefield, so we can only find a similar place in Zhu County and the two sides will fight the final decisive battle. Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei all think so, and they also know that Ma Chao should think so too.

Similarly, Cao Cao and the others learned about Ma Chao in Zhu County. Just the same, Ma Chao also learned about Cao Cao and the others in Zhu County.

Ma Chao was afraid of the table in front of him and said to everyone: "Everyone, send troops!"

"promise!"

Everyone knew that his lord was going to take action. Although Cao Cao and his team were still more than 100 miles away, their lord was already impatient to meet the enemy. Of course, this lord did not mean that he would fight them immediately, but just stationed outside the East City Gate and North City Gate of Zhu County, waiting for the arrival of the Yanzhou Army and the Sun and Liu coalition forces.

However, depending on the meaning of his lord, he probably had to go to ten or twenty miles and would not be able to welcome the enemy in the city.

-----------------------------------------------------

Indeed, the so-called "soldiers come to block the enemy, and water comes to cover the earth". Now they are almost at the door of their homes and are here to do something, so of course they have to go out of the city to meet the enemy. Otherwise, why don't you come? So Ma Chao is preparing to take everyone out of the city to intercept the enemy.

But the question still comes. Ma Chao meant to take everyone on his side, but someone had to stay in Zhu County. And looking at this, Zhang Ren should be staying here, so what can Zhang Ren do?

So at this moment he heard him say, "General Ma, I wonder who is staying in the city?"

Ma Chao smiled in his heart and said to Zhang Ren: "Of course, General Zhang will have to work hard for this matter!"

Zhang Ren shook his head slightly and said to Ma Chao: "General Ma, no matter how you say it is, he is also working in the Liangzhou army. Now that the enemy is facing, how can you not participate in the war?"

When Ma Chao heard this, he said, "General Zhang stayed in the city. Could it be that he had participated in the war?"

-----------------------------------------------------

Zhang Ren said, "General, how can this be the same? He is not talented, but he also wants to go out of the city to meet the enemy. I wonder if the general thinks it is okay?"

When Ma Chao heard Zhang Ren's words, he smiled in his heart. He said, "I'm just waiting for you, Zhang Ren, to be honest, Ma Chao saw it very clearly. If you say that if you ordered Zhang Ren to do something, he must be able to do it. After all, Ma Chao naturally knew some of his thoughts.

If Zhang Ren had no meaning, he would not have listened to himself and came to Zhu County to be the chief general. But now if he did not allow him to participate in the war, he would fight against the Yanzhou Army and the Sun-Liu Alliance. Then Zhang Ren would definitely not be able to sit still, so this is what happened.

Everything was as expected by Ma Chao. In his opinion, he would definitely not have been better off what he asked Zhang Ren to do. Anyway, Ma Chao believed that Zhang Ren would take the initiative to join the war and he could use tens of strength. If he ordered him, he could use eight points, which would be a lot.

-----------------------------------------------------

Actually, what Ma Chao was thinking was really right, or what he expected and worried about was not wrong.

If Ma Chao took the initiative to order Zhang Ren, although Zhang Ren could not give up, it would be good if he could do his best at this point. And this is not because Zhang Ren is looking for Ma Chao's sake, but because he really wants to fight Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army and Sun Ce and Liu Bei's Sun Liu coalition.

But now he took the initiative to propose it, and he said he wanted to join the war in front of Ma Chao and his subordinates. If Zhang Ren did not work hard, even if he wanted to do it, he could not do it. After all, there are a few people who really don’t care about their own face at all. Anyway, Zhang Ren would definitely not be like this.

So Zhang Ren understood, Ma Chao also knew, and everyone had basically thought about what Zhang Ren would do. If Ma Chao's step was indeed quite high, Zhang Ren had to fall into the trap. Yes, for Zhang Ren, either he was in Zhu County, and was a defender in the city, or he would just give up his face for the time being, ask Ma Chao to join the war, and then perform well.

-----------------------------------------------------

For Zhang Ren, who is a militant who really wants to fight the enemy, it is actually very simple to choose.

Ma Chao nodded after hearing this, "Since General Zhang asks for such a request, I must not refuse! Well, with General Zhang joining, our army will definitely win and succeed!"

After hearing Ma Chao's words, Zhang Ren was naturally satisfied. Even if he knew that Ma Chao was just a scene, who doesn't like to listen to good words? As long as it is not sarcastic, it is easy to say, right? Zhang Ren cannot avoid the vulgarity.

But in the ears of other generals, they don’t like to hear this. Many people think in their hearts that just such a person who doesn’t give their lord face, the lord must accommodate him almost everything. It is true that Zhang Ren is capable, but is it really worthy of his lord like this?

I am not without talents. Many people are not inferior to him, Zhang Ren, and some are even much stronger than him, Zhang Ren, but my lord is not like this either.

-----------------------------------------------------

Many people think so, but they are not dissatisfied with Ma Chao as the lord, but are really dissatisfied with Zhang Ren. They are still saying that, because Ma Chao is in the city. Or whether they can let Zhang Ren stay in the city may be a problem.

Zhang Ren also said a few politely, "The general is over-reputable!"

After hearing this, everyone despised it. Some people said, "You Zhang Ren is too good to pretend. You were so happy and proud in your heart, but you were polite. Why didn't you give your lord face like this before? It's better at this time. You are so bad, right?

Many people are dissatisfied, but they are not good at showing anything directly. They all know that, now that the earth is now, even if Zhang Ren can't just say he is his own person, he is really on his own side for the time being. So if you talk about other things in the future, it is better to solve the enemy now than anything else.
