Chapter 229 Yanzhou Army receives two counties (12)
They still think that they are forcing their lords, but they are really "that everyone wants", that's right. So it's imperative to proclaim their lords to be emperor, and that's what they didn't say, it's necessary. With everyone's "advice", he will definitely agree with this, yes. For Ma Chao, he really cannot disagree with proclaiming himself emperor in the face of so many people's "advice", let alone this is what he wants, but he thinks it's not that early. If he wakes up early, he still has to think about it later.
Yes, but if the time is right, he wouldn't have delayed it. Since it is right, then just call himself emperor, that's it. It's indispensable. Ma Chao knows it, not. For him, he is not afraid that everyone in his own country will force him. Anyway, the time is coming, so he shouldn't let himself be emperor. Actually, it's really, of course, no matter what, Ma
Chao means doing the right thing at the right time. Of course, this appropriate thing is to be the emperor. At this appropriate time, it will definitely not be too early, or it will be a little later. This is a good thing. But it is really not easy to know what it looks like. After all, Ma Chao cannot predict too much, and it is not wrong. He knows how to divine, but he is not even as good as the fur.
That's right. Indeed, why has Ma Chao basically never taught anything? In fact, he knows his level, that's it. Even if he is not as good as a half-baked person, then don't be ugly. Really. If he is capable, then it's normal to show it. But then he is inferior to a half-baked person, then what else can he show? Really. This can only be said to be embarrassing, and then nothing else is said, not. If he is capable, then pretending to be awesome x, but he is not capable enough, and he is not capable enough.
If you forcefully pretend to be x, you can only say that you will become stupid x in the end. Really, Ma Chao has experience, and it’s not that he has seen it, so he knows. In his opinion, if he has the strength, he can pretend to be x, but if he doesn’t have the strength, then forget it, really. For example, when it comes to divination, it’s obvious that he doesn’t have much strength, so Ma Chao doesn’t forcefully pretend to be x, it’s true that
In the end, he is easy to become stupid, so he will not come. Therefore, he does not know how to divine or something, and he is not sure when he can unify the world. Even if Ma Chao is indeed confident about this, can he be used as a food? It can be said that it is not useless, but it is very useful and may not play a decisive role. Maybe sometimes it can, but most of the time it is not decided.
Sexual effect. It's not that, if you have confidence every time you fight, you will definitely win? That's absolutely not. After all, there must be something else besides confidence, that's right. So confidence alone is not enough. You have to do something else. Yes, sometimes that can play a decisive role, but that's not every time, so this... has to be said to be a condition, that's not enough. If there are more, that's enough. After all, in war, the factors that affect the final victory or defeat,
In fact, there may be several, yes. So confidence alone is not enough, yes, that is indeed the case. So this also has to be said that confidence alone is not enough, and if there is more conditions, then it is OK. This is also true. If you want to win the war, it is not that easy, not that simple, and indeed. It depends on a lot.
The conditions are correct. Just like the Liangzhou army, they can be said to be the strongest in the Han Dynasty, and Ma Chao is the strongest among the three princes, but they won not every war. In the distance, they were defeated in the Jizhou war, and the Yanzhou army won. In the near future, Cao Cao and the Yanzhou army would soon occupy Changshan. In any case, the Liangzhou army could not defend this, so there was no way. So it was true that after the Liangzhou army seized the five counties of Jiaozhou, they also lost a county (country) in Jizhou.
That's right. If you lose your territory, it's really not what Ma Chao and Liangzhou Army want, so this is also true. If you just say that the Jiangdong Army gave the Yanzhou Army two counties and Changshan was not lost, Ma Chao and Liangzhou Army would definitely not think too much. But if you lose Changshan, they have to think more. This is normal. It will be like that when the time comes. Indeed, it's true. Now, Changshan has not been lost, and Jiuzhen and Rinan have not been occupied by Yanzhou Army. Liangzhou Army doesn't know the news, after all, it's in the sea.
The road, that's it. And before, it was also in Jizhou, but even after passing Yuzhou and then to Yangzhou, it would take several days to go to Yulin, Jiaozhou. That's right. Now, it's just that. However, if the Yanzhou army occupies Jiuzhen and Rinan, it will definitely not be stopped. Even if Ma Chao and Liangzhou army know the news, they will not do anything.
But if Changshan is lost, they definitely don’t think about it at all, yes. For the Liangzhou army, they definitely don’t think about it, they don’t think about it at all. But from top to bottom, from Ma Chao to the generals and strategists below, they also knew that this could not be stopped, and they could not stop the attack of the Yanzhou army. Cao Cao/they were definitely sure to take Changshan, which was good at all, so...
Most of the Yanzhou army must be defending the city, that's right. The other two parts, led by Cao Cao, attacked Changshan. Now, in addition to Zhending, Lejin has taken three more county towns. For Cao Cao, he only needs to sit in Zhending, really. He is in Zhending to take over the overall situation, and Lejin has led his remaining troops to attack several other counties in Changshan. Changshan plus Zhending, there are twelve counties. Now Yanzhou army plus Zhending, they have taken over four county towns.
But one quarter of Changshan. But to be honest, because of Changshan, this quarter of gold is more important than the territory of Changshan, that's right. After all, as the capital of Changshan, the meaning of the place is indeed different. It can be said that once the place is lost, other county towns should be said to be the Yanzhou army, and it will take it in a few days.
It's really. So now there are only three counties, but the Yanzhou army will be able to take over the other county towns in Changshan immediately. That's right. And it's true that that place belongs to Changshan's capital, so naturally the Liangzhou army has always valued the most, that's not. And operating that place must be better than other county towns, which is a bit good, so the Yanzhou army took over that
The place can be said to be absolutely half of Changshan, that is. In fact, in terms of influence, it is even bigger than getting half of Changshan territory, that is right. So the Yanzhou army came to Changshan from the beginning and attacked Zhending, which is actually not wrong at all. It is also true that Zhending is not good, and it can be said that it was directly exposed to the enemy's iron hooves. There is no way, indeed. But even so, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei and the others have tried their best, that is right. You let them defend the city,
There is nothing possible, but they have tried their best to hold the Yanzhou army as much as possible. That's right. But the Yanzhou army is performing well, that's right. Yes, otherwise, they will definitely break the city later and lose more, that's right. It can be said that they occupied the city so early, so they are definitely doing well. You can have a good performance, and the soldiers of Yanzhou army are even more
Needless to say, that is. For Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, this is definitely the pressure, so in the end it can't stand it. The remaining troops really can't support other people's strong attack, so it's impossible not to retreat. But overall, they also think that they performed well. They have been holding their own soldiers for so long, and they can indeed get a good deal with their lords in the future. It's good. If they don't perform well and their own soldiers are not good,
So I really can't hold on for so many days, that's right. It's up to them, of course, the 40,000 soldiers on our side are indispensable. But facing the powerful attacks of the Yanzhou Army every day, they are not Huo Jun or Hao Zhao, so it's really good to be able to hold on for more than ten days, really. Even if Ma Chao knew the specific situation, he would think it was good for such a result. That's it. No matter how many days, he underestimated the Yanzhou Army and looked up to his side. That's it, so...
Then Ma Chao thought they performed well, so of course. Zhao Yun and Dian Wei did, that was very good, yes. He didn't know yet, if he knew, then he would have thought so, that's right. After all, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei could do this, so it was good, that's right. For him, he never had too much desire, that's right.
Yes. It should be said that Ma Chao is a very realistic person, that is really. For him, Changshan will definitely not be able to hold on, so how long he can hold on to the other party is very important. Because this is true, it will indeed cause more casualties from the other party, which is not the case. Of course, he doesn't know anything now. In fact, when Jizhou came to Jiaozhou, the speed of this news is indeed not so fast.
It was actually necessary to pass through Sili and Jingzhou, and finally arrived at Jiaozhou. The distance was not close, so it should be said to be very far. Although it was just passing through two states, it was really far from Jizhou to Jiaozhou. That was true. It was equivalent to later generations from Hebei to Guang/dong. There was no need to say much about this. So the key to that journey was that there were no good communication equipment in ancient times, so there was only letters, phones, etc. No need to think about it. So when the news from Jizhou arrived in Jiaozhou, Changshan had already belonged to the Yanzhou army at that time, that was right.
That means that the Liangzhou army only lost one Zhending, that's it. Even Ma Chao knew that it would be like that. Even his side could not be able to defend the Zhending, so other counties... Yes, even the Zhending could not be able to defend the two generals, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were not good at it, so the other county towns could not be able to defend the Zhending, that's right, and I guess I won't even arrive for five days, so
He has to be taken down by Le Jin. If Ma Chao knows the news, he will know very well. That's it. After all, what's going on in Changshan? How can he not know? It can be said that Zhao Yun and Dian Wei have really collected 40,000 people to guard the true decision. Then the number of people left for other county towns is only 3,000, and some places may only be 1,000, and some places may only be a few hundred people. That's not
What is impossible, but it is said that it is like that. After all, in addition to Zhending, Changshan has eleven county towns, but Zhending has many people, and there are not many people in other places. So... the situation before was that it was impossible for the other eleven countys to have three thousand people, so it is impossible. So this is also true, there are not so many people, but Zhao Yun and Dian Wei and others, at least they gathered tens of thousands more people than before to Zhending. So where did those people come from? Naturally, they came from the other eleven county towns.
In some places, they can give away less people or even not. However, they have basically left hundreds of people to guard the unimportant counties... After all, both of them know that if they really lose their true colors, how can they still defend the other county towns? So how many people there are in other county towns is not important at all, that's it. But even if they think so, they still have some places.
It was because there was no troops dispatched, that's it. This also shows the problem. After all, in the two of them, how long can three thousand soldiers stop the other side? Three days or five days? It's probably only three days. After all, if it's true, there are 40,000 people, how long can they support it? Their previous thoughts were probably only ten days. After all, for the attack of the opponent's 100,000 troops, they lost more than three thousand people a day.
It's still normal. Of course, this is to rule out the first day's tentative attack. After all, the first day's tentative attack cannot lose more than 3,000 people. That's it. Even if it's facing an attack of 100,000 people, their tentative attack will only lose hundreds of people at one time. After all, it's just a tentative attack. This cannot be compared with the formal attack. Indeed, the tentative attack is less than half of the formal attack, one fifth? That's it, so if the loss is about to be more than 3,000 people
How many is that? Less than a thousand people, it must be. So for 40,000 people, true heart is nothing. But even if that's the case, how long can the Liangzhou army hold on to the True Decision? Therefore, it is true that Zhao Yun and Dian Wei do not hold too much hope, just say that they are doing their best. That's right, but it's not. So they say that they are doing their best.
In the end, it was a good final result they expected, that is. Or, at least they can get a good deal with Ma Chao in the future.
