But just comparing the siege, Cao Ren did not accept the number of generals of the Jiangdong Army. ☆→ He really didn't think that Guo Huai's siege level was much worse than Zhang Liao and the others. He thought so in his mind.

So when Cao Ren was really happy to see Niu Jin and Cao Zhen fighting for his face at this time. He thought that this was "Ten Years of Hedong, Ten Years of Hexi" was your Jiangdong Army showing his face yesterday, but today, it was our Yanzhou Army showing his face. Isn't it? It must be admitted that today's Yanzhou Army is better than that of Jiangdong Army, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it. So Cao Ren was naturally happy, and thought that you, Sun Bofu, wouldn't be proud of him today.

You performed well before and admitted it, but now, you are still fighting for the face. Cao Ren just thought of this, and Sun Ce asked him: "General Zixiao, can you withdraw the troops at this time?" Although Sun Ce was a questioner, it was not true that Cao Ren did not take this seriously. After all, he knew very well that no matter what he said, he could not stop Sun Bofu's intention to withdraw the troops in the end. Obviously, he felt that their performance was not satisfactory, so he wanted to call out the gold.

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

What else can Cao Ren say about this? Anyway, for him, it would be nice to stop when he sees it is better. But it seems that Sun Bofu is a little unwilling to accept it. But after thinking about it carefully, it makes no sense. If it were him, it would have to be like this in the end.

So Cao Ren said to Sun Ce: "I think so, General Sun said! I won't withdraw my troops at this time. When will I wait!"

After hearing Cao Ren's words, Sun Ce smiled slightly. Then he asked the soldiers of Jiangdong Army to yell the gold, "Give up the gold. Stop the troops!"

"Dingdingdingdingding...Dingdingdingdingding..." When the four people who were still siegeing the city heard that they had no choice but to lead their troops to retreat.

Especially Zhang Liao, he felt the most unhappy. He was not afraid of Sun Ce. He had a bad relationship with him and basically had nothing to say. But today he didn't even go upstairs, which was not embarrassing again. He really lost his face. Although he didn't care so much about his own face, there were a few who really didn't care about this at all. At least Zhang Liao was definitely not, he didn't care about Sun Ce. As for the Jiangdong Army, it was a little bit short, only him, he was for himself.

If it weren't for himself, Zhang Liao wouldn't have any ideas. After all, he thought he was worthy of the Jiangdong Army.

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

So Zhang Liao brought his troops back with regret. Sun Yi was in a good mood. Not only did he still perform well today, but he felt that he had surpassed Zhang Liao today. Isn’t this a great thing to make people feel happy?

Sun Yi knew his situation, compared to Zhang Liao, his martial arts skills were not as good as others. Although he was his lord's brother, it was obvious that because he was a lord, his lord didn't have to care so much about whether he was loyal. Of course, Sun Ce knew Sun Yi more well, no matter who could betray him. At least Sun Yi, a stubborn younger brother, would never betray him.

So Sun Yi knew in his heart that if he had really gotten his turn with his elder brother, he would definitely not be as good as Zhang Liao now. At least if he wanted to let him worship him, he would have to always think about this matter and when would it be better. Naturally, he had no such thoughts about himself. However, Sun Yi never thought that his status in Sun Ce's mind was obviously better than that outsider, especially those like Zhang Liao, who were not very convinced and not under control, would be even worse than Sun Yi's status.

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

The four of them led their troops to retreat. After seeing Sun Ce and Cao Ren, Sun Ce hadn't said anything yet, Cao Ren said, "Zi Dan, General Niu, you have shown the style of our army today!"

The two of them quickly humbled a few words. Cao Ren's words were not for Cao Zhen and Niu Jin, but for Sun Ce. Because in his opinion, before, Sun Ce asked him yesterday, Cao Ren felt that Sun Ce had said it on purpose. Therefore, today he had such a chance, so he naturally could not miss it, and he could not let it go.

Sun Ce just smiled at this, of course, in his heart. Then he said to Cao Ren: "General Zixiao, let's go to our army camp to have a chat?"

Sun Ce's inquiry was nothing more than a polite sentence. Cao Ren understood it, but in fact he was ordering himself and letting him follow him.

Therefore, he said, "I can't ask for it! General Sun, please!" "General Zixiao asked!"

After saying that, except for the Yanzhou Army, everyone else followed Sun Ce and Cao Ren to the Jiangdong Army camp.

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

The coalition forces were forced to retreat again, which really made Huang Zhong and the other three breath a sigh of relief. The three of them did not feel that much about forcing the enemy generals to retreat from the city. But when they saw the coalition forces retreating back to the camp, to be honest, the three of them could indeed breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, they didn't think that the other party could just withdraw their troops directly. That's not a joke. If Huang Zhong and the other two had such an idea before, they really didn't have this idea after Sun Ce brought 50,000 Jiangdong Army to Linxiang.

So the three of them, including the Liangzhou Army at the top of the city, were relieved every time when they heard Mingjin and saw the coalition forces retreat. This was the time when the pressure was relieved a lot. As for other situations, the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army retreated from the Linxiang territory, Huang Zhong and the others probably could really relax.

When the enemy retreated, Huang Zhong and the others naturally got out of the city. On this day, the war was becoming more and more unfavorable to their side, and they had to think more. If they really did not perform well, they might be able to break through the city by the coalition forces.

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

In Sun Ce's central army tent, he first praised Sun Yi. After all, Sun Yi's performance today is indeed remarkable. Not only did the Jiangdong Army generals see it. Even Cao Ren and others naturally know it very well, and they all see it.

Sun Yi was still not humble. After seeing this, he felt that he thought he was accepting all his lord's words and deserved it.

Afterwards, Sun Ce said to Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan is not in his state today. I hope he can adjust himself tomorrow and show the style our army should have!"

Regarding Zhang Liao, Sun Ce didn't think he did this on purpose. Anyway, he could actually see that he was suppressed by Huang Zhong on the city wall today. Of course, if this has always been like this, it might be that he did it on purpose. But obviously, it hasn't been like this yet. He performed well before, so Sun Ce understood.

But Sun Ce also had his own ideas about whether to talk about Zhang Liao or not. Because he knew that even if he didn't talk about Zhang Liao, he could not change his opinion of himself. Zhang Wenyuan would not be grateful to himself just because he didn't talk about him.

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

So, Sun Ce knew this, so could he not say anything about Zhang Liao? Anyway, if he didn't say it, the other party would not appreciate it. And if he said it, Sun Ce was not afraid that his relationship with Zhang Liao would become worse. Now, he doesn't think that his relationship with Zhang Liao has eased a lot. Speaking of which, there has not been much change in the past few years.

Therefore, Sun Ce was not afraid of anything, the least. His relationship with Zhang Liao became worse, so what was that? At least now, it was not much better. It was actually not far from the worst, and it was all right next to each other.

Sure enough, after hearing Sun Ce's words, Zhang Liao felt so unhappy. However, he knew some of Sun Ce's thoughts, so he could only smile bitterly in his heart. He thought that Sun Bofu, a heroic figure in the world, even if he did not worship him, even if he valued him, after all, he was still the leader of the army, the leader, and he was just a worker.

So if you really feel unhappy, don’t expect him to say nothing. That’s simply too much.

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

Zhang Liao said at this time: "No, the general's words are remembered in my heart!"

Although Zhang Liao said this, no one knows whether Sun Ce's words were taken seriously. When Cao Ren and his generals of Yanzhou Army heard what he said, they saw Zhang Liao's like this, and they laughed in their hearts. They had long heard rumors about how Zhang Liao was in the Jiangdong Army. They were not in harmony with Sun Ce, and they did not worship him as their lord today. When they saw him today, they were indeed well-deserved.

Of course, the Yanzhou Army was indeed a little gloating. For them, they might want the two sides to join forces to defeat Linxiang, but the Yanzhou Army definitely did not want to see the Jiangdong Army. Especially internal harmony and unity, this is obviously not what they want to see. Therefore, they felt happy to see Zhang Liao like this.

However, this is "every family has a difficult sutra to recite." Seeing Jiangdong Army like this, Cao Ren also thought that his side was not the same? Then Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang seemed to be no better than Zhang Liao!

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

To be honest, it seems that it is not as good as Zhang Liao, so it is not so. Every family has a difficult sutra. Moreover, Cao Ren also thought of the Liangzhou Army and knew that there was a Zhang Ren under Ma Chao's tent. He seemed to be even more dissatisfied with the Liangzhou Army, so he was really...

Sun Ce's attitude towards Zhang Liao was indeed expected. If Zhang Liao was not like this, then he might have shown a look of surprise. But like this, he has long been accustomed to it.

Sun Ce nodded and said nothing. If he had said something like yesterday, he might have said something to Cao Ren, but today, forget it. Moreover, Cao Ren also praised his generals of the Yanzhou Army before, but at this time, Sun Ce was not going to let him say more.

Cao Ren was also a gift for Sun Ce, so he didn't say much. Except for when the four of them just led their troops to retreat, he said something to Cao Zhen and Niu Jin until this time, he just listened to Sun Ce, but he didn't say much. After that, Sun Ce let everyone disperse and asked the soldiers to send Cao Ren and the others on his behalf.

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

Jiangling, after a day of rest, the Liangzhou army attacked again. However, it was obvious that the morale was indeed affected this time. After all, the previous failure in the tunnel did not affect the soldiers of the Liangzhou army, which was all fake. How could it not affect it? It was just a matter of size.

When Ma Chao saw the performance of Ma Dai and Ganning and his soldiers, he shook his head secretly in his heart. If this continues, his side will really not be able to take Jiangling.

It’s not that he has no confidence, but that fact is in front of him, so he has to think so. His soldiers do not have much morale, so why can we destroy Jiangling? Just the tens of thousands of people on his side? That’s obviously not possible. After all, Huo Jun is not a vegetarian. Not to mention that there are nearly 30,000 people in Jiangling City guarding the city, even if there are only half, to be honest, it’s not easy to destroy.

So Ma Chao knew that it seemed that he would be defeated by Jiangling, and this day would be a long time ago.

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

However, Huo Jun, he had nothing particularly happy to see the Liangzhou army performing like this. Logically speaking, as a chief general who defended the city, he should feel very relaxed when he saw that the enemy was not performing well. But Huo Jun was not like this. Of course, this reason was the same as before. Huo Jun believed that only by the greater the pressure, he could make himself and his side go further.

But if the Liangzhou army is in this state, then you and your soldiers will never make any progress. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
