Chapter 886 Ma Chao gathers to discuss the enemy
The current situation is that apart from what your general suggested, you really have no other good way to prevent the Liangzhou army from attacking at night? No, so that's all.
So Chen Wu, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng all agreed with what Zhang Liao said. Indeed, it can be the case for the time being, but there is no other way.
Finally, the head coach Zhang Liao said, "Okay, since you have agreed at this time, then let's start from today. Our army must strictly guard against the night attack of Liangzhou army and wait for General Sun to bring reinforcements again!"
"promise!"
Several people said in unison, all of them thinking that if they follow their commander's approach and if they are more cautious, there should be no big problem for the time being. If this can allow the Liangzhou army to take the opportunity to attack at night, then how unpredictable the Liangzhou army would be? Is this possible?
-----------------------------------------------------
In fact, in the eyes of several people, what they really think and think, although their own land combat power is indeed not as good as the Liangzhou army, in other aspects, they do not think that it must be weaker than the Liangzhou army, and even their own water combat power is much stronger than the Liangzhou army. Therefore, few people do not think that the Liangzhou army can succeed, and they will not be as good as the will.
What should I say? Anyway, as long as the Jiangdong army really does what Zhang Liao said, and they are cautious enough. So let alone, at least Ma Chao has no way to attack the Jiangdong army. And if you really want to defeat them, it is probably the whole army that will take action. Maybe it will be possible, otherwise other small-scale fights will basically be useless.
After all, Zhang Liao has already made the Jiangdong army standstill, so it depends on what Ma Chao and the others want. The Liangzhou army in Qichun City is less than 100,000. To be honest, in Ma Chao's opinion, if he doesn't fight hard, he will definitely not be like this.
-----------------------------------------------------
The day passed, and it was night in a blink of an eye. This was not in Qichun. Ma Chao also gathered everyone and said he wanted to discuss something.
Seeing that everyone was here, Ma Chao said, "Everyone, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. After many days of attacking Qichun without any achievements, he first made a standstill, and now he has to report to the horse, and his army has retreated again. I wonder what you think about this?"
If Ma Chao and his subordinates knew the news, they all knew about this. After all, the Jiangdong Army withdrew troops outside Qichun City, and there was such a big disturbance. If they didn't know, they could only say that there was something wrong with their eyes and ears.
At this time, Ma Dai said, "Lord, everyone, I think Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan did this at this time, including the Jiangdong Army, so of course they are afraid of our army. So, haha, we don't need to worry about their Jiangdong Army!"
-----------------------------------------------------
If Ma Dai really thinks this way, he wouldn't have been too arrogant. However, because over the years, before the Jiangdong Army's truce, Ma Dai led his troops to defend Qichun City every day, so after these days, it was a victory, and the Jiangdong Army did not get any advantage, so his confidence was indeed a little inflated. Originally, if you can hold on for a few days, you may not feel too big, but this has been the case recently. A person like Ma Dai has to be proud of him.
Even at this time, he really didn't take the Jiangdong Army seriously. After all, after so many days of contact, he also knew that the Jiangdong Army's land combat power was still incomparable to his own side, so how could the Jiangdong Army still pay attention to it?
After hearing what Ma Dai said, Ma Chao frowned slightly. After all, what is Ma Dai's state at this time? He has known him for so many years, and he is Ma Chao's clan brother, so does Ma Chao still understand him? To be honest, Ma Chao is very clear in his heart. Ma Dai is actually quite dangerous at this time. The facts are right in front of him. The Jiangdong Army's marine combat power is indeed not as good as his own. This is good, but if you really underestimate them and underestimate Zhang Liao and those who suffer, then the one who suffers may be his own.
-----------------------------------------------------
But before Ma Chao could say anything, Guo Jia spoke. After all, as the first and chief strategist of the Liangzhou Army in Qichun, Guo Jia must be the first to take the lead and say a few words. And Ma Chao could see Ma Dai's problem, of course he could see it better, but what he wanted to say was not just Ma Dai, but there were other things.
At this time, I heard Guo Jia say, "Lord, everyone, now Zhang Wenyuan is leading his troops to retreat. Jia thinks that's just temporary!"
Zhang Fei, not far from Guo Jia, asked in confusion, "Sir, how do you see this?"
Zhang Fei can be said to be the most respectful to those who are capable and knowledgeable. Even if Guo Jia is younger than him, Zhang Fei always speaks of Mr. Xiao or just talks about Mr. Xiao directly. It is different from some people, because although some people may respect some literati as literati, in the actual situation, they may be very disdainful of literati in their hearts. But Zhang Fei is definitely not like this. He always respects these literati from the bottom of his heart, which is also a great advantage of him.
-----------------------------------------------------
As for Guo Jia, he smiled when he heard this. To be honest, he knew that someone would ask him something, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Fei asked himself first.
But no matter who asks you, just answer it, that's it.
So at this time Guo Jia said, "Lord, everyone, and General Yide. In fact, you might as well think about it carefully. Zhang Wenyuan asked Chen Wu, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to attack Qichun for nearly ten days, but then there was a truce. Why? It's because they felt that they were already invincible to Qichun. At least the city was not easily captured by their tens of thousands of people, so they had to truce it!"
When everyone heard this, they nodded. Although the other party had already ceased to fight before, everyone had not discussed this. But when Guo Jia said this today, everyone naturally agreed, because they also thought so. The Jiangdong Army has been fiercely siegeing the city. But why? Even if it came to an abrupt end, it was because of what Mr. Fengxiao said.
-----------------------------------------------------
Knowing that Guo Jia had other words behind him, Ma Chao waved his hand and calmed everyone for a while, then said, "Everyone, let Fengxiao finish his words, and then everyone will speak freely. Can you discuss it carefully?"
When everyone heard what their lord said, they immediately calmed down. Yes, who can't listen to their lord's words? And there is another key point, that is, they all want to hear, the first and chief strategist under the Liangzhou Army's tent, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, what does this Mr. Fengxiao want to say?
Seeing that everyone had already calmed down, Guo Jia smiled and continued, "After the truce, Zhang Wenyuan led his troops to retreat tonight. I think he was not going to really retreat, but to temporarily avoid the front of our army, afraid that our army would attack the Jiangdong Army camp at night!"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized, right? Why did Zhang Liao retreat? Is it because of the lack of food and grass, or other things? These people think it is impossible. Needless to say, the harvest in Jiangdong this year is good, so can it still be short of food? As for the others, if Zhang Liao wanted to retreat long ago, then there is no need to stop the war and just withdraw. Why do you have to do this? So everyone thought to themselves that Mr. Fengxiao’s words should be correct.
-----------------------------------------------------
Yes, their Jiangdong army wanted to avoid their own edge. After all, they were afraid that they would attack their camp at night, so Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan had no choice but to withdraw their troops. And once they retreated, no matter what the reason was, it would definitely have an impact on the morale of their soldiers. Therefore, what Mr. Feng Xiao said about Zhang Liao should be eight/nine.
This time, seeing that everyone didn't discuss anything, the room was still very quiet, so Guo Jia continued to say, "So, once Zhang Wenyuan retreated tonight, he will definitely come back tomorrow morning. They are just afraid of our army's night attack. And Jia believes that the person must have written a letter to Sun Bofu's knowledge, and then maybe he is waiting for Sun Bofu's reinforcements to come here at this time, maybe!"
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Ma Chao kept nodding. Indeed, he had to admit that what Guo Jia said was really reasonable.
-----------------------------------------------------
At this time, Ma Chao also said to Guo Jia, "Okay, Fengxiao's analysis makes sense. I think it may not be true. And Zhang Wenyuan, after all, I met him twenty years ago, so he is definitely not a person who can easily give up, and he will definitely not be afraid of our army!"
The previous words were mainly said to Guo Jia, but the latter words were obviously said to Ma Dai. After all, Ma Chao knew in his heart that his clan brother was still a little careless and underestimated the enemy. To be honest, this is absolutely undesirable, absolutely undesirable.
When Guo Jia heard his lord's words, could he still not understand what Ma Chao meant, so he also said what he prepared, "General Bozhan, Zhang Wenyuan's retreat is only temporary. Tomorrow morning, he will definitely bring the Jiangdong army back again! Of course, they will still surround Qichun without attacking, so if they do this, it will inevitably mean that Sun Bofu will personally lead the army, and then the general will be busy!"
-----------------------------------------------------
It's okay for everyone else to say that, after all, the words of his lord and military advisor have nothing to do with him. But when Ma Dai heard the words of the two, he had to think too much. After all, he is not a person who knows his mistakes, does not admit his mistakes, and does not correct his mistakes. On the contrary, Ma Dai is still a good person, at least different from Cao Cao.
At this time, he saw him stand up and bow to Guo Jia and said, "Mr. Dai is remembered by his words. Thank you for your advice!"
Guo Jia looked at Ma Dai with a smile. He thought to himself. Although Ma Dai and Ma Bo looked at him, although he was not a talent in the world, he was a little capable, which was correct. Moreover, he was still the clan brother of his lord. Therefore, his lord trusted him more. And he said a few words and gave him a few words, it was no big deal, and he should do it.
After Guo Jia smiled and said a few words to Ma Dai, Ma Dai then said to his lord, "My lord, my subordinates were a little careless before, so I would like to ask the lord to punish him!"
What Ma Dai said is definitely true, but it is not adulterated.
-----------------------------------------------------
When Ma Chao heard this, he shook his head and said to Ma Dai, "Bozhan, you can't blame you for this matter, but you have to learn from your lessons. After all, no matter whether it is Zhang Wenyuan or the Jiangdong Army, it is definitely not a general. There are so many heroes in the world. We must not look at the sky in the well!"
Ma Chao said to his clan brother earnestly, although Ma Chao is not a few years older than Ma Dai, to be honest, Ma Chao has lived for many years, so his experience is naturally not something Ma Dai can compare with.
Ma Dai quickly bowed his hand and said to his lord, "Lord, I'm taught me!"
Seeing this, Ma Chao said in his heart, "It's really "a child can teach you". Of course, this sentence cannot be said here. After all, it is not suitable for Ma Chao to say, so can he say it?
However, Ma Chao is indeed. He really hopes that his subordinates can be like Ma Dai. Of course, it is best if you don’t make mistakes. But if there are any mistakes, it is best to recognize them, correct them in time, and finally don’t make the same mistakes again.
-----------------------------------------------------
As for the others, after all, they have nothing to do with them, so it is hard to say anything. However, when everyone thought a lot when they saw Mr. Fengxiao, Ma Dai and his lord said a few words. After all, over the years, he and others have won countless victories, and they have indeed expanded their confidence. Although they have not been too much, it will be a matter of time before they continue to develop. Therefore, the words of his lord at this time have also sounded the alarm for everyone.
But everyone had to admit that although there was only one Ma Dai and Ma Bozhan in the Liangzhou army, was he the only one who had his idea? Obviously not, it was just that everyone was not as serious as him, so they had to think about it for a while. They were not afraid of failure, and there was no one who would not fail. But if they really lost to others because of carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, they could be killed by hitting them. Compared to failure, they could not afford to lose that person.
When Ma Chao saw that everyone was thinking, he was really relieved. To be honest, as long as this is the case, his subordinates can make more progress. Don’t think that if your army has strong combat power, strong soldiers, and superb martial arts, you can be invincible in the world. Anyway, Ma Chao has never thought so. After all, he has never met the most powerful person before, so he sometimes has to worry about these things. But looking at the reactions of everyone now, he is still quite relieved.
-----------------------------------------------------
Finally, it was Ma Chao, the lord who was the lord, and he said at this moment, "Everyone, our night attack will not be achieved, and we are not prepared to destroy the Jiangdong army led by Zhang Wenyuan. And if we really do this now, the final result will probably be more than worth the loss. You know, Sun Bofu may have to bring reinforcements. Compared to the people Zhang Wenyuan is now, his "little overlord" Sun Ce and Sun Bofu is our strong enemy!"
However, Ma Chao didn't say anything, that is, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, so Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin will definitely come by then, so he must not be underestimated. After all, he is a top strategist in the world. Can it be possible to underestimate it?
After hearing such solemn words from their lords, they were all like to face a great enemy. After all, the so-called "the name of a person and the shadow of a tree". So what is Sun Ce and Sun Bofu? He is a "little overlord". Although his reputation in the world may be slightly worse than his lord, it is definitely not much different. The key is how many years Sun Bofu has been famous and how many years his lord has been famous. But even so, his reputation is that he is chasing his lord, which shows that he is so powerful.
-----------------------------------------------------
At this time, after hearing his lord's words, everyone hurriedly expressed their opinions in front of Ma Chao, just that they would not carelessly underestimate the enemy, and then they had confidence in their own side. Finally, they promised their lord that as long as Sun Ce dared to lead troops to attack, they would definitely kill them. Ma Chao also smiled at this. He really didn't think about killing Sun Ce to the point of falling asleep. He just hoped that he could protect Qichun and Jiangxia, the strategic location.
And he also knew why Sun Ce wanted to seize Qichun and occupy Jiangxia again, but wasn't he afraid that he would use Jiangxia as a springboard and attack him directly in Jiangdong? Yes, he had no way to take Jiangdong for a while, which is certain. Not to mention other reasons, just the most basic one is that his own naval army cannot be compared with others, so you still invade Jiangdong? Then, no matter how many times you go, you have to be beaten back.
And Ma Chao knew very well, Sun Ce absolutely understood in his heart. Even if he couldn't think of it, would Zhou Yu not think of it? That is, if he didn't take Jiang Xia back from his hands at this time, then there would probably be no other way in the future. At least Jingzhou is as chaotic as it is now, at least there was no one before, and whether there is any future, or when will it be chaotic, no one knows, so when does Sun Ce come to take Jiang Xia at this time?
-----------------------------------------------------
It’s not that Ma Chao was arrogant. He really believed that Sun Ce didn’t think so, so Zhou Yu must think so, so it was impossible for Sun Ce to not bring his troops, especially when the war in Qichun is not good, and Zhang Liao temporarily failed to lead his troops here. And as Guo Jia said, although Zhang Liao is not a direct branch of Sun Ce, he may not send letters to Sun Ce or something. So as long as Sun Ce reaches the current situation in Qichun, he will definitely come soon.
Nowadays, the opportunity in Jingzhou is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The more chaotic it is, the easier it is to gain benefits from the chaos. I understand this myself, Cao Cao understands, Liu Bei and Sun Ce, and even those aristocratic families in Jingzhou are not understood. Therefore, for the sake of myself and for the benefit of our own, no one does not work hard, and no one does not want to get more and greater benefits. Therefore, Jingzhou will never be calm for a while, but will become more and more chaotic.
At least Ma Chao thought so. If there is nothing more important, he will not lead troops out of Jingzhou. If he doesn't get what he wants, can he give up? Similarly, the others are the same.
-----------------------------------------------------
Let’s see the situation today, maybe one update, maybe two updates. (To be continued...)
