There may be other reasons. Think about it, isn't it normal? ? After Li Dian observed the Liangzhou army at the top of the city for a while, he got off the city. For him, he naturally put the first place to hold on to the Liangzhou army. And he had already received the news that the horses now had already brought the remaining Liangzhou soldiers and horses to attack Gucheng. Cao Hong was finally unable to withstand it, because there were only 5,000 troops in Gucheng, and Li Dian was really clear. The key was that Zhang Ren, the Liangzhou army, he was originally

It's true that Cao Hong has to go through it. It's not that Cao Hong is incompetent. If it's really a comparison, he is not as good as Zhang Ren. In fact, Li Dian understands the way Ma is doing, so why did he lead his troops to Gucheng in the end instead of coming to Xincheng. In fact, if it were him, he would also have to lead his troops to Luoyang from Gucheng in the front line, rather than to Xincheng. But the horse is definitely not because of this.

For Cao Hong, he led his troops to Gucheng. After all, to be honest, maybe Cao Hong is not as good as Zhang Ren in many places, that's right. But he also knows himself and is not as good as Cao Hong. At least he knows very well that Cao Hong's comprehensive strength is a little stronger than himself. You can't underestimate this little bit, just this, Li Dian

I know, but I can decide a lot. Especially on the battlefield, just a little bit, maybe it can decide the final victory or defeat. This is not impossible. So Ma can still not know this, but he still led the army to Gucheng without hesitation. I thought about it myself. The first Gucheng is closest to Luoyang, at least compared to his new city, which is closer to that place. And the second thing I have to say is that the two cities have the same number of people and horses, but Cao Hong is better than himself, but this

It is definitely not the reason why Ma chose to come to Xincheng. At least Ma Mengqi really doesn't care too much about this matter, and he can't know that Cao Hong is better than him, but he is just a little stronger, and for him, it's not a big deal. Because he is Ma Mengqi, he knows a little bit. So Ma chose to go to Gucheng, and this is really, no one came out.

As Li Dian expected, Zhang Xiu directly brought troops to Xincheng, which surprised him a little. At least when Li Dian learned the news, he was indeed surprised. For him, there is no shortage of generals in the army now, but there is little force. However, Zhang Xiu did not go directly to join the Jockey Club, but came to his own place at once. Doesn’t this explain anything? Of course, this still shows what the problem is?

Li Dian didn't believe it. Zhang Xiu dared not to obey the horse's military orders, and took the initiative by himself, so he led his troops here. Maybe the Liangzhou army dared to disobey the horse's military orders. This was not impossible at all, but it was definitely not just Zhang Xiu. If Zhang Xiu really had that ability, it would be true that he would not be like this now, right? He didn't have the courage, and he didn't have the courage. At least Zhang Xiu was definitely not a person with high skills and courage. He basically just followed the situation.

An, that's almost that. Li Dian dared not say how he understood the person, but he still knew what he should know. In fact, Li Dian's idea makes sense. Isn't Zhang Xiu that alone? It's true. Whether Zhang Xiu was in the past or after he came to the Liangzhou Army, he was actually like that. This is his personality. Li Dian absolutely cannot talk about it.

The master knew how much he knew about him, but he knew a little bit, which was right. Zhang Xiu took the Liangzhou army to rest for less than a day. On the second day of the arrival of Xincheng, he led the entire army to attack the city. He saw that his soldiers were in good condition, and now he was indeed a great soldier. He knew that his lord had been fighting for several days, so he was now behind. Of course, what was behind was the attack time, not the others. If he could take the Xincheng as soon as possible, then

In the end, it was because he led his troops to Luoyang early. Of course, Zhang Xiu felt that this possibility was not that great. After all, he had learned a lot about the situation on Cao Hong's side from his own side. Zhang Ren was a general who was a little better than Cao Hong, so it was hard to say. As for himself, in addition to martial arts, he thought he could surpass Li Dian. In other aspects, Zhang Xiu knew himself and thought he was not as good as others. That's it. So Zhang Ren was there to Cao Hong.

Compared with Li Dian, the former is worse than the latter. So he is not as good as Zhang Ren and his lord. Even if there are more people here than there, if the gap is not that big, it may not be so obvious. As for other things, Li Dian's current thoughts, he even knows himself, and he just wants to delay.

Live in your own side, so this new city is a difficult bone to crack. For me. But no matter how difficult it is, I have to lead my troops. Who made me choose to come here? I can go to Gucheng directly, but that is definitely not what my lord hopes most. If it is Luoyang, he would hope, but Gucheng is not Luoyang, so that's it.

In fact, in the Gucheng, the horses arrived more than a day earlier than Zhang Xiu. After all, even though he and his army were resting in Hongnong City, at that time, their messengers had just arrived in Chang'an, and Liu Xun and others had just received letters, which was it. So, Ma and Zhang Xiu could advance troops a little earlier than Zhang Xiu, and the troops he brought were fewer than Zhang Xiu. This has to be said that he had led troops to Gucheng early, and Zhang Xiu had not arrived in Xincheng at that time. Like a horse, he led troops to

After getting to Gucheng, he still let his soldiers rest for a day, and then the next day, Zhang Ren started the attack. In this regard, it can be said that Cao Hong in Gucheng had been looking forward to him for a long time. Cao Hong and Cao Cao were related. He was a clan brother of Cao Cao. That's it. He was a general of the Cao family and was highly valued by Cao Cao. After all, Cao Hong was capable and very loyal.

The heart, more importantly, is that he is a brother of the Cao Cao clan, and Cao Cao believes that the person will not betray him. Moreover, Cao Hong's biggest characteristic is nothing more, that is, greed for cheap money and money, which is his biggest characteristic. Therefore, in Cao Cao's opinion, this shortcoming is obvious, especially those who love money, which is very easy to control. This is the lord and the superior, who are not afraid of any shortcomings of subordinates.

Because that may be better controlled. If you have shortcomings, or more, your threat will be smaller. But those who are superior must be worried and worry. There is nothing obvious bad about this person, and it looks a bit like that. For this kind of person, they have to be on guard against it. It is inevitable that such a person will be difficult to control. Therefore, Cao Cao is indeed very relieved to his clan brother Cao Hong, otherwise he would not have arranged it for him in Gucheng.

Yes, this is indeed a problem. In fact, Cao Cao never thought about what else could Cao Hong be unfaithful to him? Just say that his identity is whether he can be valued by surrendering to horses? Or is it possible for Sun Ce? At least in terms of Cao Cao's understanding of the two of them, they definitely believe that Cao Hong has the ability, but if he can reuse him, he basically

Don't even think about it. Of course, it's really different for me. At least I am, Cao Hong is loyal to him and can use him and reuse him. That's it. After all, he is his relative and his clan's brother, so as long as he is loyal enough, he may not reuse him. Moreover, Cao Hong is not a fool, so there is nothing to say about using him. But despite this, Cao Cao didn't think that Cao Hong could stop the Liangzhou soldiers who were here. That's impossible.

But Cao Cao at least was relieved that he could do his best to defend the city, rather than work but not work, or even seek to surrender to the Liangzhou army. At least on this point, Cao Cao was relieved. And I have to say, does Cao Cao really not want a general to defend the city? But what can he do? In addition to the people who have been sent out, he is still in Xudu now, but few of them are really willing to send him to defend the city. That's the case, Cao Cao gave them a lot of opportunities, and they also have their own ideas.

At least they knew very well that among the people like Xu Du, if there was any war, my lord would have to take me and others to go there. If I go there, I would have a chance to make meritorious contributions. So I have to say that compared to defending the city, my lords really want to go to war with my lord, not to defending the city or something. Yes, defending the city is not impossible to make meritorious contributions, but

In their opinion, it was boring and even less interested. And it was really, it was okay to keep it well, but if it was not kept, it might even be complained in the end. So such a thing is really not what they want to do. Therefore, if you can, if you have a choice, they would not choose to defend the city, but would have to go to war with their lord. So Cao Cao wasn't really a little bit

He knew that it was their idea, so it was not good to affect it. Of course, he was willing to go to the city to defend the city, so it was not really difficult to solve it. For Cao Cao, he didn't say that he could not force someone to defend the city, but for him, he felt that that was meaningless. He felt that when he really needed them, they could actually stand up, so there was no need to say more. Since they were not willing to stand up, they didn't want to stand up.

If they come out, even if they are their lord, this is true, but in the end they listened to their military orders, they went there, but Cao Cao thought the effect would not be very good. So instead of this, he would rather not go if they were not willing to go. He had a human faction, and it was not that he had no one on his side, so he had to go there. He could do this.

It's not like that, okay. If Cao Cao really comes to a crisis, he doesn't believe that no one will stand up. Because it's already that time. If you don't stand up, don't you wait for your own side to suffer a big loss? That's definitely not what they want, and of course it's not what Cao Cao wants to see. Many times, something must be admitted, that is, this person is still afraid of being forced, once this is

No one knows what he would do if he was forced. And Cao Hong was the same. When the Liangzhou army was at the city and was stationed, he went to the city to see what the Liangzhou army that he had been dealing with for a long time was like now. Of course, he definitely did not want the Liangzhou army to be good, because that would only mean that his side would suffer more casualties, and the time for breaking the city might be shorter. Yes, Cao Hong didn't think that his five thousand men could withstand the 40,000 men.

The attack was just a matter of how many hours it could be delayed. Yes, it was 40,000, not 100,000. Cao Hong knew that when the Liangzhou army was at Hangu Pass, they did have 100,000 troops, which was correct. But after fighting in Hangu Pass, they occupied it, they left behind the troops there, and then began to fight against Hongnong. In the end, the Liangzhou army lost many soldiers in Hongnong City.

But after all, he took down the city, this is OK, but their losses... In the end, the horse left behind five thousand people, and then brought the remaining less than 40,000 people to Gucheng. Cao Hong knew this. After all, this matter was not a secret. With the ability of the Yanzhou Army, they could not find out? But even so, the Liangzhou Army was no longer 100,000 troops.

And there are less than 40,000. Yes, it is true, but Cao Hong did not neglect at all. Because the 40,000 troops of the Liangzhou army cannot be underestimated at all. If he is careless because the other party has fewer people, then the one who suffers a great loss in the end must be his own side, not their Liangzhou army! Cao Hong at least at this moment, he is relatively sober, which is normal. After all, he has not taken his own side to fight with the Liangzhou army, so he is a bystander. If he really brought Yanzhou soldiers and Liangzhou army with his own side and Liangzhou army, he is a bystander. If he really brought Yanzhou soldiers and Liangzhou army with him and Liangzhou army.

If he was still sober and calm in the war, it would be very rare. Cao Hong had already stepped down from the city and was waiting for the Liangzhou army to attack tomorrow. No, according to the rules of siege, that tomorrow was the first tentative attack of the Liangzhou army. He must perform well, and strive to prevent the Liangzhou army from taking advantage of the Liangzhou army. Although he also felt that

It's impossible, but I can't resist Cao Hong's idea, and it didn't just flash by, but thought for a long time. If he really can do it the same, wouldn't the hope of defending the city come? 8
