Liu Bei sent the messenger away and asked him to receive the reward. No matter what, now is the time to unite people, so even if the other party did not send reinforcements, this was as expected and had nothing to do with the messenger. Therefore, he would reward him for his merits. Of course, he could get rewards. He had always had clear rewards and punishments, and this time was no exception.

After the messenger retreated, Liu Bei said helplessly to Xu Shu and Liu Ba: "As expected, Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen did not move their troops and did not send troops to aid!"

After hearing what his lord said, Xu Shu said, "My lord, even if that's the case, their lord Cao Mengde will never be like this. Now our army's hope is still there, just wait for the Yanzhou army to come to reinforcements!"

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, and if he wanted to say that this was the only way to do this now. Liu Ba also said to his lord: "My lord, my subordinates think that it is better to rely on yourself than to pin your hopes on others! Our army's main force is in Chenyang, and General Zhong Miao is here to defend it, but Ma Mengqi Liangzhou army may not be able to get any advantage!"

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

In Liu Ba's opinion, he did not expect Huo Jun to be able to withstand the attack of Ma Chao Liangzhou Army by relying on his own troops in Chenyang. But he must also believe that Huo Jun can withstand many things and perform well for a month. He thought that maybe it was okay. He also admitted in his heart that Ma Chao Liangzhou Army was so strong, but he also knew Huo Jun's ability, after all, this was something he experienced personally. So...

Speaking of which, the combat power of our own individual soldiers is not as good as that of the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army. But now our side is in a defensive side with an advantage, and there are also generals like Huo Jun, so it seems that it is really impossible to have nothing.

Ma Chao's side was responsible for siegeing the city by his clan Ma Dai. Ma Dai seemed to have good skills, but he had never heard of him as a general who sieges the city. So even if he faced Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao, Liu Ba felt that he could not gain any big advantage. It would be good if he could break the city. As for when, I don't know this.

Of course, I definitely hope that the later the better, the slower the better, and even the harder it can't even break down your own city. That's the best!

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

At this time, Liu Bei said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi's words are very good, it is indeed the case!"

However, he also said to Liu Ba: "Zi Chu's words are correct. In fact, the relationship between me and Cao Mengde. You all know the relationship between our army and the Yanzhou army, so there is nothing left, so there is no need to say more!"

After pausing, Liu Bei said to the two: "We have to wait for reinforcements. After all, it is still the time for the three parties to form an alliance. But we really cannot put all our hopes on them. This is for sure! It is better to rely on ourselves if we rely on anyone!"

Xu Shu and Liu Ba hurriedly bowed and said, "What the lord said is extremely true!"

Liu Bei nodded with a smile. Even if it was Liu Bei, he could not avoid the vulgarity and would definitely like to listen to good things. This is human nature.

"I believe that the messengers who went to the north and Jiangdong will bring us good news in the end!"

Liu Bei's words clearly meant to give hope to his subordinates and comfort them, but this was not to comfort himself.

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

Indeed, when Liu Bei said this, it was considered "the drunken man's intention was not to drink". He was definitely not saying it to comfort the two of them. He said it to himself, and of course it was for Xu Shu and Liu Ba. And it was also considered to be for him to cheer himself up and encourage him. There was absolutely no problem, and it was a bit like a psychological hint, which was indeed true.

When the two nodded when they heard this, their minds were as good as theirs, and they still didn't understand what their lord meant, but they obviously didn't mean to say it out loud. Really, if they did that, there would be no meaning. So instead of doing that, it would be better to pretend to be confused like this, just as the lord told them to them, just go through it.

Liu Bei finally said: "Actually, the people sent to Jiangling, I think they will bring us good news at that time. What do you think?"

Xu Shu bowed and said, "What the lord said is very true, and my subordinates think it is indeed the case!"

After hearing what his lord said, "My lord, my subordinates think so. But logic is that all the people who go to Xiangyang have returned, but those who go to Jiangling have not returned yet. I wonder what's going on?"

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

In fact, Jiangling is definitely closer to Chenyang than Xiangyang, but now everyone who goes to Xiangyang is back, but there is no movement from this sent to Jiangling, which makes Liu Ba suspect something.

Xu Shu reacted quickly and said directly: "Lord, my subordinates think that maybe the messenger was delayed because of something, so maybe this is possible!"

After hearing Xu Shu's words, Liu Bei was expressionless. He didn't know what was going on. But he had a premonition at this moment that Jiangling's reinforcements must be coming soon. He didn't know when, but it should be soon.

But in Jiangling, when several people in Jiangling City learned that Ma Chao's soldiers were approaching, they thought of sending reinforcements to Wuling. However, because they did not have the order of their lord (uncle), neither Taishi Ci nor Wei Yan or Liu Qi dared to act rashly.

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

After all, private automatic soldiers are definitely not a trivial matter. You see passive defense or something, so it is natural to be casual. However, if you have to lead troops to Wuling, the three of them did not dare to move without the orders of their lord (uncle), until Wuling came to the messenger sent by Liu Bei.

When the three of them saw that their messenger was indeed from the Han army. After receiving Liu Bei's letter, Wei Yan read it first. After all, he was the chief general of Jiangling, then Taishi Ci, and finally Liu Qi. After all, he was not Liu Bei's subordinate, but Liu Bei's junior, so as a guest, he could only read the letter at the end.

Wei Yan first asked the messenger to go on, and then made it clear, and replied to him after a while, but he also stated that he would definitely send reinforcements.

Reinforcements must be sent, but who will go, this is a question. Wei Yan still has a lot of considerations. Logically speaking, he should have let Taishi Ci go. After all, he is the chief general of Jiangling, and Taishi Ci assisted him in defending the city, so it is actually the most appropriate to let him go.

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

As for Liu Qi, Wei Yan never thought about it. After all, although he was a junior of Liu Bei, he was also a guest of their side, so he could not let the guests be reinforcements. Therefore, Wei Yan really didn't think about Liu Qi. He just thought about whether it was better to go by himself or Taishi Ci.

What he thought in the end was better if he had to go there himself. As for Taishi Ci, then let him be the chief general of Jiangling, which was a win-win situation. Why did Wei Yan think so? Of course, there is a basis for him to think so.

Because Wei Yan knew that after Taishi Ci was defeated by Ma Chao Liangzhou Army in Xiangyang, he fled to the general with his remaining soldiers and finally followed him to defend the city. Speaking of which, Taishi Ci thought that the other party was better than him, and he also admitted this and knew this.

But he was the commander of Jiangling, who was personally ordered by his lord, so he had to be under his control, otherwise he would not stay in Jiangling.

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

But I could see it myself, and I could even feel that because Liu Qi was a guest and his lord's son and nephew, he was actually nothing in Jiangling.

But Taishi Ci was definitely dissatisfied because he thought he was better than him in many aspects, but he had always been the commander of Jiangling, so he could only be a deputy, so he was naturally unwilling to accept it. However, his lord had no other orders, so this situation continued until now.

So at this moment, I can take this opportunity to lead my troops away and make contributions to the battlefield. And Taishi Ci, Taishi Ziyi, can also become the chief general as he wishes. Isn’t it worth doing this? Anyway, Wei Yan thinks there is no problem. If this is the case, as long as Taishi Ci agrees in the end, it will be a happy situation, right?

So he said to Taishici at this time: "I don't know what General Ziyi thinks should do now?"

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

Taishi Ci smiled and said, "Nature is the same as Wen Chang said before. Send reinforcements to Wuling!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
