When the Liangzhou army retreated, Huo Jun was indeed relieved. This was really something that had never happened before. When the enemy retreated, he actually felt extremely relaxed, not as he had not been satisfied before! Obviously, if this had always been the case, Huo Jun would never have been satisfied, but his attitude was now. And the one who breathed more relief than him was the guards at the top of the city, and they thought more than Huo Jun. After all, Huo Jun was at the top of the city, and the worst was that the city was broken, that's all.

But for these soldiers and ordinary pawns, if the Liangzhou army stays on the city for a while, they may die. As long as they spend a while, more casualties will increase. To say that the Han army and Jingzhou soldiers are not afraid at all, that is impossible. There are a few who are really not afraid of death, but they are really afraid of them anyway.

Even though Huo Jun said he wanted to ask his lord for reward, when he heard it, many people were excited, but now when he thought about it, they were sweating coldly. Because of this, I don’t know how many people died on the top of the city. Now, fortunately, the other party had retreated long ago, otherwise, the casualties on their own side would have been increasing, which was definitely not a good thing.

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

Ma Dai and Gan Ning led their troops back to our team. After Ma Chao met the two, he praised them, "The two really played the style of our army today!" To put it bluntly. That is to say, the two performed better this time than before, that's it, but Ma Chao didn't say that.

After hearing what his lord said, Ma Dai and Gan Ning quickly humbled a few words. To be honest, although they also believed that the attack after Yin hour today was indeed better than before. But speaking, it was not actually the credit of their own, and it was not the credit of those three thousand elites. Therefore, the two really did not dare to take too much credit, so this is certain.

Ma Chao just smiled at this. Then he waved his hand and told everyone to return to the camp. They followed Ma Chao back to the Liangzhou Army Camp. They all knew that their lord was still the same as before. He had to go back to the camp and say anything in the central army tent. Outside, there were very few things he said. So in this way, everyone returned to the camp with Ma Chao and entered his central army tent.

In the big tent, Ma Chao first briefly summarized the previous war, and then praised Ma Dai and Gan Ning. Of course, he did not forget it, and praised his soldiers. This is certain. He will never forget it, it is necessary.

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

Ma Dai and Gan Ning were not humble at this time. After all, they also knew that what is too much is not enough. Although they did not think that their previous performance was their greatest contribution. But obviously, at this moment, their lord wanted to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments and set a typical example for them, then they would have to bear it, and there was no other.

After all, if your lord says you are good, you are good, and it’s bad. Then if you are bad, you are bad, and it’s not good. This mouth belongs to your lord, so he will naturally say whatever he says. And Ma Dai and Gan Ning are actually like mirrors in their hearts. To be honest, they also know that their lord wants to establish a typical example of their own two. To put it bluntly, it’s just to give their soldiers bigger and stronger confidence. Look, the performance of their own generals has been recognized by their lords, so...

Speaking of Jiangling City, it may not be too late to be destroyed. This is not impossible. If it were before the beginning, the soldiers on the side may not have any confidence. The key is where the confidence comes from? But after seeing their performance before, it is obvious that the confidence is much more at this moment, right? So Ma Dai and Gan Ning both knew the intention of their lord and put the great contributions on them, and then the other contributions were all from their own soldiers. This is indeed good.

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

Compared to Ma Chao, Liu Bei and the others are indeed not very good. At least no one laughs, and they are basically expressionless. Obviously, it is something that has not happened before, and it is rare. After all, they were the dominant before. But now this time, it is obvious that the Han army is the dominant, so it would be strange if Liu Bei's subordinates could be in a good mood.

So before he could hear Huo Jun say anything, Liu Bei and others looked expressionless. Huo Jun knew clearly about this. But he had to continue saying what he should say. Therefore, at this time he reported to his lord.

Although Liu Bei and everyone had heard the soldiers' reports long ago, he had to listen to what Liu Bei said to Huo Jun. He would listen if he didn't say that he had the advantage, so he would not listen if he was not the advantage. Then he would not listen if he was not the advantage. How could that be, as the lord of the Han army, he would never do that. So when Huo Jun reported this, he had to listen carefully no matter what. Maybe his subordinates didn't like to listen, but he had no choice but to do so. It was all necessary.

Finally, Huo Jun finished speaking, and he could see that no one was willing to listen to his side’s losses, but he had no choice.

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

Of course, I didn't want the Liangzhou army to gain any advantage, which is certain. But I sent out the elite of the elite, and I had no good idea about it. Speaking of which, my own troops were lower than others' combat power, so let alone the elite of the elite of the other. In fact, in his opinion, it would be very good if I could lead troops to force the Liangzhou army to retreat. That's the case. The Liangzhou army has only a few thousand elites, and now I can deal with it. If it's tens of thousands, I won't be able to do it anymore.

So Huo Jun felt a little bit of gratitude and contradiction. On the one hand, he really didn't want to see his side like this, but on the other hand, he also knew that only when he encountered such a strong enemy could he make more and greater progress, which is absolutely true.

At least he knew very well that after the previous war, the troops who were still left behind were obviously more experienced than before. At least they had already had the experience of dealing with the elite of the Liangzhou army. Isn’t this a kind of progress? And for some soldiers, they have definitely improved a little, so they are only a little bit, but they are also progress, right? So Huo Jun also had a conflict in his heart, and he wanted the Liangzhou army to do this, nor did he want them to do this. There are indeed pros and cons in everything.

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

However, Huo Jun naturally knew that he had to accept this fact. And what he should do the most is to make this thing bring the greatest benefits and the most benefits to him. In this case, it would be correct.

As the leader of the army, if Liu Bei didn't say anything at the beginning, it was understandable. After all, he had to listen to Huo Jun finish his words. But now Huo Jun has finished speaking, and he also knew that it was time for him to go on stage. So he heard Liu Bei say to Huo Jun at this time: "Zhong Miao, Ma Mengqi and others waited for ten days before thousands of elite soldiers arrived. Now that we are in Jiangling for the first time, our army is caught off guard. It is indeed understandable! Thank you for your hard work in this regard, Zhong Miao and our soldiers!"

Liu Bei naturally didn't say anything about Huo Jun and the others, because he knew that this was certainly not the reason for his own soldiers, or because the other party was strong enough, otherwise Huo Jun could have such an expression? Do you say such a thing? He was not afraid of anything, but he still had to worry about it. As for Huo Zhongmiao, this idea obviously would not be missing. At least in the current war, he definitely did not want to do this, so now he still thinks that how can he deal with the elite troops coming from the Liangzhou Army is more important.

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

Seeing his lord's expression, Huo Jun knew very well that his lord would not care about the gains and losses of the previous war. But it was no wonder that if he was his lord, then he would be like this. After all, his lord had years of experience, and he knew what he should do the most and said, and what he could not say at all, and it was even more impossible to do. Huo Jun knew everything, so he understood that his lord could not understand, not understand, not know?

Finally, Liu Bei encouraged Huo Jun, of course, it was said to his own and the soldiers of Jingzhou, but naturally he would not say this in front of the soldiers. So even if Huo Jun was asked to convey it to others, or to let others convey it to the soldiers, that's all. Even if Liu Bei was dissatisfied with the previous war, he knew that it was not the problem of his own soldiers, nor was it Huo Jun's reason. Speaking of which, he could resist the Liangzhou army in the end, but it was really good.

Liu Bei is definitely not a person who does not know how to be content, this is definitely not. And speaking of this, he started from a small matter. Although he was a relative of the Han Dynasty, he was definitely the most down-and-out one. He was born in the market and grew up among the people. Therefore, Liu Bei did,

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

There are so many things he doesn't understand and doesn't know. There are not so many of them. At least in terms of dealing with people and interacting with people, there are really not many people who can tell Liu Bei don't know. So he is really a person, and he is not comparable to ordinary people.

Finally, Liu Bei waved his hand and asked everyone to go back and rest. After all, it was still too early at this time. At this time, everyone had not yet gotten up. But because of the previous war, it can be said that everyone had already gotten up and none of them could still fall asleep.

Isn't it? With such a loud noise, even if you want to sleep, you won't be safe. Of course, everyone is worried about the war, so no one goes to rest after getting up. After all, you haven't even gone to rest, and you may be even more than your lord...

Therefore, Liu Bei also knew, so he sent everyone away and let them go back to rest. As for tomorrow's war, Huo Jun would naturally worry about it. He wanted to take more control, but he would not have much effect. If he appeared on the city wall during the siege, it would have a considerable effect on his side. But obviously his subordinates would never agree with this. They would rather let their morale remain the same than let themselves take risks at the city wall.

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

Huo Jun was the last to leave, and he knew that it was hard to say whether the Liangzhou army that had just retreated could attack again today, after all, everything was possible. But now for a while, they would never make a comeback, so Huo Jun was not so anxious to go back to the city. But he also knew that even if he took a step back, even if Ma Chao and the Liangzhou army made a comeback again, he would go back as quickly as possible based on his reaction speed and the distance between the provincial and ministerial palaces and the city.

He would not delay anything at all, so he was still anxious? Of course, he didn't hear his lord call him and keep him, so Huo Jun knew in his heart that his lord had finished what he should say before, and now he had nothing to say to himself.

Huo Jun was the last one to leave. Liu Bei did not say anything and left him or anything else. He did finish what he said today. Of course, the war will basically be handled by him and Huo Jun. This is not a big deal, and even if Liu Bei took the initiative to ask, he would not ask. Of course, Huo Jun took the initiative to report, which was another matter. (To be continued)
