Chapter 696 Jizhou Army retreats and returns
The Liangzhou army carried out the first tentative attack, and this time Wu Ban was ordered by Ma Chao to rest, and he asked Ma Dai to go on. After all, Guo Huai was not an ordinary opponent, so Ma Chao really attached great importance to it, so Ma Dai, who had more experience, took his soldiers to attack the city. After all, Ma Dai's experience was definitely not comparable to Wu Ban.
But even if Ma Dai took his soldiers to attack, Guo Huai was easily defended by Guo Huai. Although Guo Huai's experience is indeed not as good as Ma Dai, this is correct. However, his ability and command ability in the battle are not comparable to that of Ma Dai. So in the end, Ma Chao retreated his troops, and Ma Dai led his troops to retreat. It was indeed expected that this would be expected. At least in Ma Chao's opinion, this would be right. Otherwise, if Guo Huai was not as strong as he expected, it would not be enough to make him value him.
No matter what, it wasn’t Ma Chao who underestimated Ma Dai or looked up to Guo Huai. Now, although Guo Huai is not that old and has not had that rich experience, Ma Dai is indeed not as good as Guo Huai. So Ma Chao asked Wu Ban to rest early, and seeing that even Ma Dai is no match for him, let alone him, he doesn’t have much experience at a young age.

Ma Chao ordered the gold medal to withdraw the Liangzhou army, and everyone returned to the tent.
At this time, in his central army tent, Ma Chao saw that everyone was sitting down, and he asked, "Wangxiao, how do you feel when you observe Gaoyi City today?"
Of course, Guo Jia understood what his lord meant. His lord just asked him, but he didn't see any flaws in Gaoyi City. It's easy to use this, but, alas...
At this time, Guo Jia sighed in his heart after hearing his lord's words, and then slowly shook his head. He said to his lord, "Lord, everyone, today after Jia carefully observed the defense of Gaoyi City, he found that it is indeed a good thing for the lord to attach importance to Guo Huai and Guo Boji!"
Guo Jia's words made everyone nod. In fact, although only Ma Dai led his troops to attack the city, everyone was watching the offensive and defensive battles of the two armies at the city. It can be said that although Ma Dai did not understand Guo Huai's ability as intuitively as Ma Dai, they could definitely see some things. After all, although they were a little far from the top of the city, they could still see a lot of things.
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Ma Chao frowned slightly. Look at what he said before. He valued Guo Huai and said something. But when Guo Jia saw it with his own eyes, he confirmed that he was right. Ma Chao was also a little worried. He was worried and said, "I don't let my side get frustrated because of Guo Huai, and this is not good." Although he suffered more than once or twice, for Ma Chao, he felt that the less it was better for him, the better.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this time, Ma Chao asked, "I don't know what it means to be filial piety?"
Guo Jia continued to shake his head, "Lord, Gaoyi City naturally has weak walls. However, Guo Boji defended him like an iron barrel and was tightly controlled. It is indeed difficult for our army to start from here!"
After saying this, Ma Chao and everyone understood it. It turns out that Guo Huai had long known that his city was the weakest, and he was leading troops to defend his troops. As a result, he still wanted to start from here, but he was prepared for it.
Just look at today. Although today is our own tentative attack, the attack is actually where Guo Huai is. Otherwise, what is said is that Guo Huai is powerful is not that he defends himself, so he stands at the weakest place in the Gaoyi City Wall, but that he is attacking elsewhere, but he has not left that range at all and has been commanding there.
Everyone remembered it at this time, and it was true that Guo Boji did have two tricks, so they should not underestimate it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After hearing what Guo Jia said, although he was a little regretful, he didn't expect to destroy Gaoyi in one go. After all, he always attached great importance to Guo Huai, so he could not treat him as an ordinary general. Then, Ma Chao naturally did not prepare to break through the city he was stationed in.
At this time, Ma Chao used the joint of the index finger of his right hand to gently tap the long desk in front of him. Anyone who is familiar with him knows that his lord is thinking about a more difficult problem and has no good ideas.
After a while, Ma Chao said, "Now you have no good ideas for Gaoyi City, so our army will continue to attack Gaoyi tomorrow!"
"No! Follow the lord's arrangements!"
Everyone said in unison that in this situation, except for strong attacks, they are just truces, so they can't retreat, so strong attacks are indeed the only way to go.

Over the years, Shen Pei has been in a bad mood, yes, it is very bad. Because someone came to report that Zhao Rui's family was missing. Just like that, Shen Pei suspected that she had joined the house.
After all, Shen Pei is not stupid, so he believed that after asking the person responsible for monitoring Zhao Rui's family, he confirmed that Zhao Rui's wife and children must have been taken away. Then the most acceptable thing in the past few days is the carriage at the city gate.
When Shen Pei went to find Zhao San, the other two were gone. At this time, Shen Pei was even more sure of his judgment. He was so angry that he was not angry. Really, when was a famous scholar in Jizhou who was actually fooled by a pawn and cooperated with the enemy to play with him?
However, while Shen Pei was angry, he was actually very glad. What was he glad that Zhao San, the enemy's detailed work, should be from the Liangzhou army, had a head of the enemy. Fortunately, he appeared at this time, or if he really waited for the Liangzhou army to come to the city. As a result... Shen Pei really didn't dare to think about it. You have to know that in his city, he was still a small leader guarding the city gate. If he was a detailed work of the Liangzhou army, it would be really bad for him. Fortunately, the detailed work is gone now.
But Shen Pei was unwilling to accept it. After all, it was the first time he was fooled like this, so in his rage, he came to a great purge in Yecheng, especially those who had some relationship with Zhao San. Basically, even the eighteen generations of ancestors had asked, which showed that the investigation was deep, but he never found any detailed work again.
At this time, Shen Pei understood that maybe the Liangzhou Army's detailed works might be gone. But there might be Yanzhou Army's detailed works. But he didn't find them out. What does this mean? This means that the enemy's detailed works are hidden deeper. Zhao San's Liangzhou Army's detailed works are just the lowest level. If there are Yanzhou Army's detailed works, it may be higher than his official position.
It’s not a mistake for Shen Pei to think about it like this. It’s because Zhao San and Zhao Yun, and they were so angry that they both made him very angry.
Some scholars, especially those with some reputation like Shen Pei, value their reputation and care about their own face. Now he was fooled by Zhao San and Zhao Yun once and got away with it. He took Zhao Rui's family away from his nose. To be honest, this matter is actually no different from slapping Shen Pei a few times in front of all the soldiers in Jizhou.
So it was really difficult for Shen Pei to swallow this. For him, it was a great shame and it would not be possible to take revenge, but he didn't know where to go to find Zhao San and Zhao Yun. For Shen Pei, if this matter was spread, it was really a joke for others. How could he raise his head in front of his lord and colleagues? At that time, people would say that Shen Pei was fooled by a small man, and watched the enemy general take Zhao Rui's family away and then leave Yecheng.
Shen Pei also blamed himself for this, and his decades of wisdom will be ruined.
But at this time he had no time to think about anything else, because his lord was about to return to Yecheng. He said he was withdrawing his troops, but in fact he was retreating, but he couldn't say that, so he had to use some words that would not make people feel discouraged.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this time, Shen Peixin said, how should I deal with this matter to my lord and bus. Logically speaking, Zhao Rui's family was taken away, which is not a big deal at all. Really, Zhao Rui is nothing, it is probably difficult for the lord to remember him. At this time, can I remember it all the same. But as soon as I say this, my lord probably will have an attack. After all, my lord has failed one after another and Bingzhou is lost, so...
Shen Pei was indeed sweating at this time. But he also knew that it was definitely impossible to hide this matter, so it was better to confess it than to hide it so much. He still understood this.
There is a way, and Shen Pei thought of a method at this time, which may work. Anyway, no matter what, it is always good to try, at least it is better to have hope than to have no hope, right?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the gate of Yecheng, Shen Pei saw his lord, other colleagues, and the vast army behind them.
However, I have to say that before, the Jizhou army went to Liyang to cross the Yellow River and arrived at Guandu, how energetic it was, Shen Pei saw it all. But now if you look at it again, it is really no big difference with the defeated rooster.
Not to mention that the Jizhou army suffered heavy losses this time, it was almost defeated in a row, and it basically failed. As for that time, if it was counted, it would be a little advantage at most, and it would not be explained by others.
Looking at the soldiers of Jizhou at this moment, Shen Pei was indeed very moved for a moment, and even let down all his worries for the moment. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
