So at this time, when Huo Jun faced the Liangzhou soldiers in such a state, he was not thinking about whether he could defend Jiangling. After all, if the Liangzhou army had always been in such a state, then if Huo Jun could not defend Jiangling, it would be really interesting.

What he is thinking now is whether he and his soldiers can go further. There are a few people who do not want their ability to improve, and Huo Jun is no exception. But as mentioned before, if you are worse than you, you will basically not improve or improve. If you want to make progress, you can only deal with people who are stronger than you, right? At least in Huo Jun's opinion, that's the case. This is actually the same as fighting against someone with superior martial arts.

Because of this, you may make a breakthrough. So when will you make a breakthrough when you deal with people whose martial arts are not as good as you? So Huo Jun naturally hopes to face a strong enemy that can make progress with himself and his side more. For example, at the beginning, the Liangzhou Army that was like before, he was unwilling to fight against the Liangzhou Army, which is now so low and seriously out of shape. This is clearly two situations from before, and anyone can see that Huo Jun felt even more regretful. He really didn't want to do so.

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

Ma Dai and Gan Ning have been easily repelled three times by Huo Jun, the Han army and Jingzhou soldiers at the city. Speaking of which, today is the easiest battle for the soldiers at the city, besides the previous tunnel blocking the Liangzhou army.

Isn't it? If it were the Liangzhou Army with a strong morale, even if Huo Jun was powerful, even if there were many Han and Jingzhou soldiers on the top of the city, they would not be able to deal with the Liangzhou Army so easily, and would not be able to take advantage of the Liangzhou Army so easily.

But now, at least Ma Chao saw it, so he should withdraw his troops as soon as possible. He didn't ask Guo Jia, and directly asked the soldiers to sing the gold. If this was not the case at this time, then when would he wait? If he didn't withdraw the troops, then wait for more and more casualties. Obviously, this is not what Ma Chao wanted to see, so it is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible. Therefore, Ma Chao didn't even ask Guo Jia, and directly asked the soldiers to sing the gold. Of course, he also knew. Just ask Guo Jia, the final result was the same.

Because Ma Chao knew that Guo Jia would definitely agree to withdraw the troops. In fact, this is true. Even if Ma Chao didn't say it at this time, Guo Jia would also give advice immediately and let his lord withdraw his troops.

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

The Liangzhou army retreated, and Ma Dai and Gan Ning also knew why their lords retreated at this time. To be honest, they were still the ones. Of course, they were both of them. Today's performance was really unsatisfactory. Neither Ma Dai nor Gan Ning said that they would put the responsibility on the soldiers or on the soldiers. Although they admitted that it was indeed because of the previous defeat, the soldiers were greatly affected. There was no morale today.

But equally, both of them did not perform well. Not good, this was indeed not in the state, so there was no need to say much. Therefore, because of their performance, Ma Dai and Gan Ning would not push this to others. Even if the soldiers of Liangzhou were worse than them, this was not the biggest problem. The problem is that from top to bottom, from the main general to ordinary soldiers, few of them performed well, so...

Naturally, the two of them would not blame the soldiers on their own. If Ma Dai and Gan Ning both thought they performed well, then naturally they could tell Ma Chao that they were ashamed of how bad the soldiers performed, and that they both felt guilty.

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

Ma Dai and Gan Ning led their troops to retreat. After seeing their lord, they said in unison before Ma Chao could speak: "Ma Dai (Gan Ning) is not fighting effectively, so apologize to the lord!"

Ma Chao was expressionless when he heard this, but waved his hand slightly and said, "You two follow me to go back to the camp first! Then discuss other things! Let's go back!"

"No!" Not only did Ma Dai and Gan Ning agree, but everyone else said in unison.

So everyone followed their lord back to the camp. Huo Jun at the top of the city saw him and thought that your Liangzhou army retreated too quickly today. His meaning was not that Ma Chao asked the soldiers to withdraw their troops quickly, but that after the Liangzhou army called Jin, Ma Dai and Gan Ning led their troops back, but this speed was not that it was particularly fast. Then Ma Chao took them back to the camp, which would have to delay a little time.

But this time, Huo Jun dared to say that it was definitely the fastest time that Liangzhou troops had withdrawn their troops back to the camp in so many days, so he thought so in his mind. Otherwise, he would never have been like this.

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

Huo Jun felt very regretful. At this time, he looked at the Liangzhou army returning to the camp and muttered to himself: "I hope you don't let me down tomorrow!"

As he said that, he punched the battlement of the city wall. At this time, he could see that Huo Jun was all the truth. It was really hard to find an opponent if he wanted to become stronger! For a person like Huo Jun, although the victory or defeat is indeed not that important, it is really impossible to say that this is the most important. At least there is something more important than victory or defeat, this is certain, for example, this one.

After reminding the soldiers a few words, Huo Jun got off the city and went to the provincial governor's office to report to his lord. He knew that he had to report to his lord in person about the Liangzhou army today, even if he already knew about the "eight/nine" situation.

In Ma Chao's central army tent, Ma Dai and Gan Ning once again apologized to their lords. Obviously, they did not think that they had no responsibility. On the contrary, they did not perform well, and the problem was even more serious than that of the soldiers. In this regard, although their lord waved his hand before, it seemed that nothing was wrong. But Ma Dai and Gan Ning obviously would not think so.

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

Ma Chao said at this time: "To put it, our army is indeed not in a state compared to before. So it is not just two generals. Almost everyone is like this! If you really want to calculate it, it is still related to the war on the eve of the previous one. In other words, it also has something to do with me!"

What else Ma Dai and Gan Ning wanted to say, but Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "Actually, you don't have to blame yourself. Your retreat today is not the fault of the two generals! If you really care about this, then tomorrow, continue to work hard and strive to show the style of our army!"

Ma Dai and Gan Ning quickly agreed to the promise, "No!" Obviously they knew what their lord meant. It seemed that their lord did not care about anything, otherwise they would not have said that. That means, you are not good at performing well, and the soldiers are the same. And counting this matter has something to do with me, so...

Both of them understood, or that the one in the big tent was Cui An, and he knew a little, so there was no need to say more.

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

His lord didn't care about anything. Then everyone wouldn't say anything. Even if they thought Ma Dai and Gan Ning were really bad today, how could they say it? Both of them were not easy to offend. Who is Ma Dai? Even Gan Ning knew a little, that Cui An knew him, so let alone other people who had been in the Liangzhou army for so many years.

So, maybe few people are really afraid of Ma Dai. But they have to say that they have to admit that many people are more afraid of him. At least they are revengeful and are close to the vengeful personality, which is more disgusting to almost everyone. Who doesn’t know that Ma Dai is a smiling tiger? If you haven’t offended him, then everything is easy to say. He can really talk to you. But if you really offend him a lot, then congratulations, maybe he just smiles, and then don’t know when,

Just give you a knife, it's nothing strange. Others may not be able to do it, but Ma Dai can do it.

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

As for Gan Ning, although he has not been in the Liangzhou Army for a long time, those who have really had a lot of contact with him and those who really know him know him. Perhaps he is not like Ma Dai, but he is definitely not a soft persimmon and is not so easy to deal with. He is not a good temper, nor a good person or a human being.

Indeed, otherwise, if this is the case, how could Gan Ning and his brothers cross the Yangtze River waterway and be known as the "Jinfan Thief". This is not a good nickname. What good reputation can a thief have? How many good people can there be?

So, to be honest, not everyone wants to offend a hero like Gan Ning who finally entered the world and was born in the Green Forest. Because you can't afford to offend him. If you want to offend him, then you will definitely be revenge. So only your lord will say something about him. If others can stop talking, of course they try not to say anything. They squint there, and they think it's good.

To be honest, there are no timid people, and not many of them who are afraid of them, so there are nothing they dare not do if they dare to do.

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

To be honest, even if Gan Ning has joined the Liangzhou Army now, the real constraints on him are not that great. And Ma Chao knows this, and others don’t know it, so it’s not clear. So, some people are more afraid of Gan Ning than Ma Dai, which is true.

After all, if you offend Ma Dai, at least because of his brother, it is not a dead grudge, and he will definitely not take your life. But for a person like Gan Ning who is born in the world, that is really not certain. After all, such a person may kill the person directly in the world with a disagreement. This has happened before. So it is impossible that no one knows it, not knowing it.

At least if Gan Ning was still like this now, then there are a few things that I have to think about. Therefore, at this time, except for Ma Chao, Ma Dai and Gan Ning, everyone else said nothing, just like nothing happened. It was like it was nothing. It seemed that these things had nothing to do with them. Whether it was Cui An, Guo Jia, or Hu Zhen, it was all like this.

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

At this time, when Ma Chao saw everyone's expressions, he felt a little clear. He thought to himself that Bo Zhan and Xingba were really, no one dared to offend them, and no one wanted to offend them. Otherwise, even if he said nothing, maybe everyone would agree with this. Maybe one or two would pop up and say something else.

But now, no one said anything, obviously this is an explanation. Of course, Ma Chao also knew that he had already determined the general direction, so naturally everyone would not say much. This is one of them, and it should be considered the main one. Second, it is naturally the relationship between Ma Dai and Gan Ning. There is no need to say much about this.

Therefore, these two main reasons have prompted everyone not to say a single word, which is actually quite good.

Finally, Ma Chao said: "Okay, if that's the case, I will continue to attack Jiangling tomorrow. Be sure to show the style of our army. Everyone, keep working hard!"

"promise!"
