If there is a big battle, it is probably even if there are no 100,000 people thrown in, it will have to be tens of thousands. This is Ma Chao's idea. But just that, it is still a good situation. If it is not good, the losses will naturally be more. This is certain. So at least at this time, Ma Chao still doesn't want to fight so much with the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army. This is certain. I didn't see that he came out with his son, Guo Jia and the others, which means that it means that it is a problem. So whether it is Cao Cao, Sun Ce, or Ma Chao,

I never thought about it and insisted on launching troops this year. In addition to the Jiangdong Army, the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army had both fought last year. So if we really fought for years, it would be of no benefit to both sides. It can only be said that it would be beneficial to the Jiangdong Army. After all, strength is increasing one and declining, that's it. When you weaken your strength, the Jiangdong Army is increasing its strength. Isn't that the case?

To be honest, Ma Chao is not afraid of the Jiangdong Army being capable. It would be even more interesting to have them really had that strength, but obviously, they have not reached that level and still want to join forces with the Yanzhou Army to deal with their own side. This is the foundation for their self-protection. If it is said that it is the united forces with the Yanzhou Army, then destroying the Jiangdong Army is really not a difficult task, but really, I am

Thought, Cao Cao wouldn't do that. Indeed, even if Ma Chao was Cao Cao, he wouldn't do that, let alone someone else. So although the Jiangdong Army is the worst, they actually have an advantage over the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army in this joint alliance. Indeed, the Liangzhou Army will not join forces with the other two, or it is actually impossible for them to join forces with them. The Yanzhou Army wants to join forces with the Jiangdong Army and deal with the Liangzhou Army, and the same is true for the latter.

Because the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army have many territory, they fight more, and there are very few Jiangdong Army, so the latter is the dominant one. At least if the Liangzhou Army wants to attack Jiangdong in large numbers, they will not be able to avoid the navy, so... this is indeed a problem. And whether it is the Liangzhou Army or the Yanzhou Army, they all know that the enemy is definitely not the Jiangdong Army, but the other one

This is just a matter of whether the Liangzhou army destroyed the Yanzhou army, or the Yanzhou army destroyed the Liangzhou army, and finally dealing with the Jiangdong army, that is just a little bit. Even if the navy is strong, it still cannot withstand the general trend of the world. This is the fundamental reason. From a historical perspective, in the Battle of Red Cliff, it is true that Cao Cao was the one who occupied the general trend. To be honest, Cao's army did not have more than 800,000 troops, and he really didn't have that many.

After historical research, the Cao army's troops at that time should be between 100,000 and 200,000, which means at least 100,000 must be at least 100,000, but at most it will never exceed 200,000. How many Han people were there at that time? How could Cao Cao have 800,000? Anyone who knows it knows that it is just a fictional Romance. Others, the Sun and Liu coalition forces have only 50,000 people at most, and the troops are indeed quite different, but it is not said that 50,000 is so exaggerated to 800,000. So the Cao army is the general trend, but it has not yet been

If Cao's army had 800,000 people, then in terms of the ability to pacify Cao Cao and the strength of Cao army, their plan would have been unified in the world long ago. So many years later, it would be the three-point return to Jin? Indeed, after all, it was the Three Kingdoms period. How many people were in history? How many other princes had? This is the problem, and the Battle of Red Cliff

It is true that Cao Cao was defeated, but it was definitely not annihilated. This is certain. There is no specific number of people lost, but it is basically more than half. This is inevitable, but it should not exceed 100,000 people. After all, Cao's army was only 200,000 at that time. So at that time, Cao Cao was in the general trend, but not the absolute general trend of the world. If the world was left with Sun Quan's territory and Liu Bei was not very big, then even after the Battle of Red Cliff, Cao Cao could still be destroyed.

However, history is not easy to assume, so they can only say that this is the ideal result. But no matter what, it was not the absolute advantage of Cao's army at that time, so Cao Cao was defeated, and the Battle of Red Cliff laid the foundation for the three kingdoms. But now, without the Battle of Red Cliff, it is also a tripod. It can be said that although the three-pointers are very different from the Three Kingdoms period, these three-pointers are still the same three-pointers, but their own strengths are different. Indeed, their own strengths are different, Cao Cao

It is not Cao Cao in history, Sun Ce is not Sun Ce in history, Ma Chao, and of course it is not Ma Chao in history. Speaking of which, Ma Chao has a deep understanding. The difference between this situation and history is very big. Not to mention anything else, it is said that many people may have died in history, but they are still alive. How many people have not died in history at this time, but have not been alive long ago.

Yes. The Han Dynasty definitely did not have so many people during this period. Ma Chao was sure, but to be honest, how many people were under his command? Cao Cao had a lot of troops in Yanzhou, even Sun Ce’s Jiangdong Army, with hundreds of thousands of troops... So this is true. The Han Dynasty has a larger population than in history. Ma Chao didn’t know. Anyway, there were more people, so he naturally thought it was a good thing.

Of course, there are even more people and horses in the foreign race, so this... Indeed, the population of foreign races is definitely not as large as Han people, but almost all the people are soldiers, and there are definitely many people and horses, basically they are all cavalry. So Ma Chao has always been worried, and it is not right. Still, there are many Han people but not as large as Han people, but it does not mean that the people and horses are not as large as Han people. Isn't that the reason? So Ma Chao has always had a headache about this, but now, it's still the case.

Calm. Ma Chao and his friends rested in the General's Mansion in Xiangyang for a night. If they say that the Liangzhou army is in Jingzhou, in addition to the two counties in the hands of the Jiangdong army, and the provincial governors are not theirs, they do all of them. Of course, if you say that there are two counties, you must still lack it. This is the case. After all, Guiyang is still a little bit too, but Changsha is somewhat a big county, so this one is also

That's right. After a night off, Huang Zhong accompanied Ma Chao and the others to eat in the morning. After that, Ma Chao left the General's Mansion and went to Xiangyang City. Xiangyang City is definitely a very prosperous place. Although it is still not as good as Chang'an, it is definitely not much different. This is for sure. After all, Jingzhou is definitely not a poor place, and Xiangyang is even more of a place with a large population and a very developed business.

Indeed, if Xiangyang is in the world, it can be said that it is one of the best developed places. This is indeed true. It is also well-developed transportation and there are still many people. So Ma Chao is naturally not dissatisfied with such a place. To be honest, Huang Zhong is not good at governing counties, which is certain. Ma Chao is very clear. But his subordinates are also talented, and he has more management than Huang Zhonghui, so naturally, he has not lost development in recent years, and Ma Chao also knows this.

Indeed, even if Ma Chao doesn't know anything about Xiangyang, he can't know anything about such an important place and such a famous place. So even if he hasn't been here for many years, it's true that he should know what he should know. Just say that Huang Zhong, the governor of the state, was appointed by the imperial court, belonged to the Jiangdong Army, and Ma Chao was not appointed by the state governor, but his official positions were poor.

Not many. Huang Zhong goes to Chang'an every year, so even if Huang Zhong says, he knows the situation in Xiangyang. Of course, the person will not say he deceives his lord, that's not true. Moreover, it's not just Huang Zhong, but there are other channels. Ma Chao can also know the general situation in Xiangyang from others, which is certain. After all, he is the lord of the Liangzhou army. If he is the lord, he will definitely be able to do it. If he doesn't leave the house, he will know the world's affairs. Indeed, the Liangzhou army's intelligence is still good.

So, this is true. If Ma Chao is the lord, he can't just get news from the provincial governors of each state. If he doesn't say it, it's only theirs. Yes, every year, Jia Xu and the others have to go back to Chang'an to report to his lord. This is definitely true, but Ma Chao also got a lot of news from other channels, which is also a little good. So what Ma Chao knows is not only limited to the provincial governors of each state, so there is definitely not. He just wants to know what,

Basically, there are many ways to know, that's right. It's obvious that Gan Ning is more familiar with Xiangyang. After all, he has been in Jingzhou for many years and then surrendered to the Jingzhou army. Although he was in Jiangxia more often, he has been to Xiangyang many times, and this is indeed. So, in fact, compared to Ma Chao and others, Gan Ning knows this better here, after all, he is comparable to this place.

Ma Chao and the others came too much, and this is really true. Gan Ning knows more about Yizhou and Jingzhou. As a southerner, unlike Ma Chao and others, they are actually northerners. So naturally, Gan Ning knows more about it because he comes more than them. Therefore, Ma Chao also asked Gan Ning to say a few more words so that his son can understand the importance of the south.

If you know Xiangyang, Ma Chao may be a little more than Gan Ning, but to be honest, he definitely does not come here as much as the other party came here. This is certain. After all, even when the Jingzhou War was in Jingzhou for many days, Ma Chao had not been in Jingzhou for many times, but he had never been to Xiangyang several times. But Gan Ning was different. After all, he was a member of the Jingzhou army. Even if he defected to Huang Zu of Jiangxia, because Huang Zu did not value him, he did not value him, so Gan Ning did not restrain himself too much, and was relatively free.

Of course, he would go wherever he wanted to go. As long as he didn't delay the military affairs, there would be no problem. Moreover, there was Su Fei's help at that time, so it was impossible for Huang Zu to know anything, so Gan Ning basically wanted to go wherever he wanted to go, so he could come back early. Indeed, Jiangxia and Nanjun were next to each other, and Xiling and Xiangyang were actually not that far apart, so...

Gan Ning came here more than Ma Chao, but Ma Chao was the leader of the Liangzhou army after all, so what he could know was not just superficial. But he didn't say that much. After all, there were some things that Ma Huan knew were actually useless. When he was supposed to know, Ma Chao would definitely let him know, it was that simple. So what Gan Ning said now

Those are actually very important. The five people moved half of Xiangyang, and then the time came, and they returned to the provincial capital. For Ma Chao and the others, today was only the first day. Indeed, he also had to be in Xiangyang for five days, which was not wrong. After all, there is enough time now, so he was not in a hurry. Originally, Jingzhou could not go to several places, so it doesn't matter if he stayed here for a while. Indeed, it was "one time, another time". If the situation was different, it was naturally not.

The same thing. Indeed, what it was before, but now it is like. When I came out for three months, Ma Chao was worried, but when I thought about it carefully, I still had enough time. Even if I couldn’t go back for half a year, I would definitely be able to go back in less than seven months. Speaking of which, it might be that when I was in Liangzhou, I spent a long time in Longxian, and at most, at other times, it seems that I would be

In about five days, Ma Chao and his friends returned to the provincial governor's mansion. Huang Zhong's mansion was waiting for his lord and his group. After that, it was still a dinner party. After that, Ma Chao praised Huang Zhong. He did not hesitate to praise him. He said that although he was a general, Ma Chao could see that he was still very good at using people. Really, Huang Zhong was, and Ma Chao didn't think he could manage a good county, but as long as

If you know how to hire people, there is actually no big problem. Is there anyone here in Jingzhou? Is that needless to say? Ma Chao dare not say that they are all talents, but they are definitely a little stronger than other states except Sili. Indeed, after all, how long Ma Chao had been in Jingzhou, it should be said that the main official positions from state to county and county were appointed by Ma Chao, the governor of the state. When Ma Chao fought in Jingzhou, he also gathered a group of officials who were originally the Jingzhou army. To be honest, let's not think about it if they were asked to lead their troops to fight or something.

But really, letting them manage counties is definitely a good player. Otherwise, it depends on how much Liu Biao can develop Jingzhou by relying on his own to do so? Yes, Liu Biao, especially when he was young, Ma Chao admitted that he had good skills, but if he was relying on him alone, he would not be able to play with anything. Liu Biao still has to rely on a lot of

Only the local aristocratic families in Jingzhou, especially those like the Cai family, Kuai family, Huang family, etc., can he gain a foothold in Jingzhou. Everyone knows that Liu Biao is not the only one who has the final say in Jingzhou, and Cai Mao has a lot of power.
