Chapter 7 Ma Chao's Reflection After Failure
Ma Chao had to think about this, could he really change so much? Otherwise, how could he become like this now? ∈◆ After that, Ma Chao didn't care too much and said nothing all night. The Liangzhou Army failed that night and just passed. But obviously, this matter was not over yet. As the initiator, Ma Chao naturally had to give everyone an explanation, who made him insist on it?
So on the second day, Ma Chao summoned everyone, and in the central army tent, he had something to say. Everyone understood that his lord wanted to give everyone an explanation. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable. Yes, although his lord would not directly admit his mistake, the general things could still be reasonable, and everyone thought so.
Everyone was already present in the tent, but none of them had any expressions. After all, they had a new defeat last night, so they could not have any good expressions. But in front of their lords, they didn't want to have any bad faces, so they could only have expressionless expressions. Everyone knows that their lords understand what they mean, and they don't want to ask anything, but the death and injury of thousands of people last night had to be explained.
-----------------------------------------------------
Seeing that everyone had arrived and when they sat down, Ma Chao said, "The war last night..."
Halfway through his words, Ma Chao looked at everyone's reaction. Obviously, Cui An was very angry at this time. He was not convinced by the failure last night and was ambushed by others. But because it was the order of his lord, he really couldn't say anything. Even if Cui An was slow to think about it, he knew that the lord was always right. If his subordinates made mistakes, that was a mistake.
As for Ma Dai and Gan Ning, although they were not as cruel as Cui An, Ma Chao could see that they were not convinced. Yes, it was not the same as himself. So Ma Chao could actually understand them. That is, Guo Jia, he was still expressionless at this time. After all, he knew very well that his lord was in a bad mood. Therefore, it would be best not to show his expression. Otherwise, it would be a good thing.
As for Hu Zhen, Ma Chao was a little scared when he saw what he meant. Ma Chao was worried about saying that he was afraid that he would send all the fire to him, so that he was like this?
-----------------------------------------------------
In Ma Chao's opinion, if the other party really thinks so, he will underestimate himself too much. To be honest, let alone himself, Cao, Sun, and Liu, he did not say that he was the fault of being a lord, and finally he blew all his anger on his subordinates.
After scanning the expressions of everyone, Ma Chao continued to say: "Last night, although I didn't want to admit it, I had to accept this fact. Our army was defeated! It was indeed beyond my expectations for the failure of authenticity to achieve success in the end! Today I just want to say that I hope you can continue to work hard and strive to break Jiangling as soon as possible! As for the failure last night, I can only say that I can learn from the lessons and that such a thing will not happen in the future!"
"No! We will follow what the lord said!"
No one dared to say that his lord had everything. At least in the big tent at this moment, there was no such person in the Liangzhou army. They were not stupid, and they knew in their hearts that their lord was already in a bad mood because they had just been defeated. If someone said anything, it would be like adding fuel to the fire, so no one dared to say anything.
-----------------------------------------------------
After Ma Chao said a few words to everyone without any nutrition, he finally said, "I know you are not convinced by what happened last night. In fact, I am not the same? But it is not the same with me, 'Planning is in people, and success is in heaven'. The defeat last night is really the same as luck and fate! Okay, please come back and stay with me for filial piety!"
"No! We'll take our leave!"
Seeing his lord chased people out, everyone was relieved. Even though they knew that his lord was the main reason for his defeat last night, none of them dared to say more. And they were afraid that the fish would be affected, so it would be bad if they were scolded by his lord.
But at this time it was fine. My lord drove someone out, and this matter was just over for the time being. As for leaving Mr. Fengxiao, it was obvious that my lord had something to say to him, so he didn't need to think too much about these people. Anyway, seeing how my lord was like, it seemed like it was no different from before I dug the tunnel.
-----------------------------------------------------
Everyone felt that their lord had changed back, so they really hoped that their lord would be like this now, not like when digging tunnels.
Everyone left one by one, and as for Guo Jia stayed in the big tent, he almost knew what his lord wanted to say to him, in fact, it was nothing more than those. Maybe he wouldn't say that to others, but he would definitely do this to himself, or he had to do this.
This is not only because I am a counselor under my lord's account, but also because of my previous advice, but it is almost useless. Even in the end, it can be regarded as a way to avoid greater casualties from our side. This is good, but the fact is that our side is still defeated, and this is not false.
Of course, Guo Jia didn't think he was not capable enough, but he was really not good at persuading his lord. At least he knew very well that if it were someone else, such as Jia Xu, he would be better than him, and maybe he would persuade his lord to live.
-----------------------------------------------------
Seeing that Guo Jia was the only one left in the tent. After everyone else left, Ma Chao said to Guo Jiayan: "Would you not be ready to say a few words to me?"
At this time, he still had no expression. Even though Ma Chao didn't care so much about failure, but after all, it was not what he wanted. Moreover, this was really far from what he thought. He was extremely disappointed, but he had no place to get angry. Because this matter was his own mistake, who else could he blame?
When Guo Jia heard his lord's words, he smiled bitterly and then said, "Jia thought that the lord knew what Jia was going to say, so Jia didn't say much."
When Ma Chao heard this, he sighed lightly, "Oh, Fengxiao, talking about the war last night, I was indeed not careful. If Fengxiao hadn't been careful, our army would have suffered heavy casualties!"
Guo Jia quickly said when he heard this: "Lord, Jia dare not take credit for this. If our soldiers do not use their lives, they cannot do this!"
-----------------------------------------------------
At this time, Ma Chao waved his hand to Guo Jia. Then he said, "Fengxiao, we have known each other for more than ten years, right?"
Although Ma Chao was an inquiry, in fact, his tone was certain.
Guo Jia smiled when he heard this. "What the lord said is good, it is indeed the case!"
Ma Chao said: "Fengxiao feels that there is any change in me now and then?"
When Guo Jia heard this, he said, "The lord was full of energy back then, but now more than ten years later, Jia thought that there were changes. However, some things have changed, but some have not changed!"
Ma Chao nodded at this time, "Fengxiao, in the blink of an eye, I actually know that I have changed a lot. Yes, maybe some things have not changed, but many of them have changed!"
Guo Jia wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ma Chao. "There is no need to say much about filial piety. I think I should think about myself carefully. After all, like the previous one, it will not happen again!"
-----------------------------------------------------
This time, Guo Jia didn't say much, because he knew that his lord had a determination, and obviously, he realized some of his mistakes.
After being silent for a while, it can also be said that the tent was quiet for a while. After that, Ma Chao didn't say anything else. He just chatted with Guo Jia for a few simple words, and then Guo Jia said goodbye. For him, it was time for him to leave at this time. His lord admitted his mistake. He did not say that he was wrong in front of everyone, but what he said to everyone before was actually almost the same.
As for the later period, it can be said that he really admitted his mistake. With his lord's status and status, it is indeed good to be able to do this. It is just that Cao Cao and Mengde, who knew that he was wrong, never admits that he was wrong. No matter whether he was talking to in public or to anyone in the ground, he would not admit that he was wrong. As for the lord, he is always right.
After Guo Jia said goodbye and left, Ma Chao looked at his departure back and breathed a sigh of relief.
-----------------------------------------------------
Compared to Ma Chao's place, it is a different scene in Jiangling City. Of course, this did not happen at this time, but what happened last night Huo Jun led his troops to ambush the Liangzhou army. After the victory, it happened.
There were soldiers cleaning the battlefield, and Huo Jun was directly invited back to the provincial governor's mansion by the soldiers sent by Liu Bei. In the reception room of the provincial governor's mansion, even though it was already so late, everyone led by Liu Bei was in decline and was all in the reception room.
After seeing his lord and everyone, Huo Jun hurriedly said, "Lord, I'm lucky to be unfair to my fate!"
The meaning is very simple, that is, I have defeated the enemy and the Liangzhou army is defeated!
Liu Bei was naturally happy, so he hurriedly said, "But thank Zhong Miao for his hard work. Come on, come on, sit down!"
"Thank you! The victory tonight depends entirely on the lives of the soldiers, and Mr. Yuanzhi's clever plan is also indispensable!"
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Okay, I remember everything Zhong Miao said. But if I want me to see it, it is still Zhong Miao. Without Zhong Miao, how can there be a victory tonight?"
-----------------------------------------------------
Although the generals did not like Huo Jun so much, after all, because his lord valued him, he had no place to use his skills in Jiangling. However, they had to admit that Huo Jun's ability, at least in terms of defending the city, no one thought he could surpass him.
But even so, the generals did not have any opinions about their lord’s arrangements, which was a lie. However, because all these days have passed, it gradually faded, and this is not wrong.
However, even if they were still envious of Huo Jun, they had to say that they were both generals of the Han army, and they were in a good mood. After all, it was not easy to defeat the Liangzhou army once. If it weren't for Huo Jun or Xu Shu, then it would be really not easy to defeat the Liangzhou army once.
After all, the Liangzhou Army is not so easy to defeat. At least for so many years, there are really a number of cases of failure in their battles.
-----------------------------------------------------
The one who has different ideas from the generals is Xu Shu. After all, Huo Jun asked him for advice before, but now after winning, the person brought his help in front of his lord. Although even if Huo Jun doesn't say anything, his lord will not forget himself, for Xu Shu, Huo Jun had not forgotten to mention himself at this time, which means that he is indeed not so greedy for merit and is also a person who is grateful for his kindness. Therefore, his impression of Huo Jun can be said to be really good.
After all, Xu Shu is not a military general, so he cannot go to the city wall, so he has no conflict of interest with Huo Jun at all. Therefore, these generals have the same idea, but he has another idea.
At this time, after Liu Bei finished speaking, the generals were not stingy with praise. After all, Huo Jun was really so proud that he had made his side proud. In the past, he also repelled the attack of the Liangzhou army every day, but tonight was different from before. At least tonight was more inspiring and could improve his side's morale.
