Chapter 528 Meng Qi led his troops to Youyang
Seeing today's Wenpin, some people seem to have seen their future selves. This is the case with the clerk now, so if you can't keep it in the future, you will be like this. Of course, no one wants that, but who can say for sure?
This is definitely not to say that they are afraid of being beaten, how is this possible. Speaking of flesh and pain, it is indeed nothing to them. As a military general, what about a few people who are not injured, and those who are not injured, are they still considered to have been on the battlefield? Even if it is Xu Shu and Liu Ba, they are also injured people, which cannot be underestimated.
Maybe they are naturally different from Zhou Cang, but it doesn't mean that they are really scholars who have the power to tie the chicken by mistake. Needless to say, Xu Shu was originally a good ranger, but he once killed a lot of people in order to fight grievances, which is definitely not fake. As for Liu Ba, it is true that he looks like a scribe, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything. It's the same as a murderous master who doesn't blink, and that's not wrong at all.
So they're not afraid of being beaten, it's mainly a matter of face, and they really can't afford to lose that person.
In the same way, they all know that in fact, the same is true of Wenpin.
After Wen Ping was taken away by the soldiers, Liu Bei said to everyone: "Everyone, now Lingyang has also been lost. As long as Ma Chaoliangzhou's army passes Youyang, our Chenyang will bear the brunt, so don't you say anything? ”
The first to speak, it was Xu Shu, only to hear him say: "Lord." General Wen Chou is by no means comparable to the past, if the Liangzhou army still looks at him with old eyes. Then they may suffer. In fact, his subordinates also wanted to say that General Wei Yan might go to Youyang at this time. After all......"
Xu Shu told Liu Bei and the others about it, and he thought that Wei Yan might go to Youyang. No matter how Wenpin lost Lingyang in the end, Wei Yan and the Liangzhou army, he would take his men and horses to Youyang. And this is the best way to deal with the Liangzhou army now, that is, to unite with the men and horses of Wenchou Youyang, and defend the city!
Xu Shu doesn't think that Wei Yan doesn't understand this, and now he is "not seeking merit, but seeking no fault". So that's how it should be.
As a result, after listening to Xu Shu's words, everyone, including Liu Bei, couldn't help nodding. Now Wei Yan's situation, after Xu Shu's analysis, not to mention, everyone thinks it is very likely. If so, indeed, a lot of it makes sense.
Speaking of Liu Bei, he is against Wei Yan, indeed. It is impossible to say that there is no resentment at all. And this is because Wen Ping said that Wei Yan didn't do anything at all. I don't know what he was thinking, but he lit a cigarette just a little earlier. Then there was no movement, so Wen Ping was angry here. And after he finished talking about this, Liu Bei was also a little dissatisfied. Although it is said that "will be outside." The king's order is not subject to it", but this was made clear by himself before. Be sure to delay Ma Chaoliangzhou Army for a few days.
But in the end, Wei Yan didn't do anything. And Lingyang was lost in a few days. This made Liu Bei feel that he really didn't give himself any face. Even if it's a few days late, won't it? This, alas, Liu Bei doesn't know how to say it. Anyway, Lingyang is lost, even if he sees Wei Yan and can say a few words to him, that's all. After all, he really, not wrong, that's right-
Even if you talk about him yourself, why do you keep standing still, then if he Wei Yan really wants to refute it, then there are ten thousand reasons to wait for him, this Liu Bei knows it in his heart. He understands that the other party really wants to defend himself, so how many well-founded reasons can he say, so that you feel that it is really like that, and there is no way to refute it.
Indeed, what Wen Ping said before is very clear, you Wei Yan can't pass on the information because Ma Chao Liangzhou Army blocked the road to Lingyang. Then there are other reasons why you Wei Yan does not move, such as this, such as that, Liu Bei understands.
Of course, Wei Yan didn't want to argue anything, and directly admitted that he was wrong. So so, in fact, it is what Liu Bei wants to see. And Liu Bei also felt that if he said this in front of Wei Yan in the end, he would not be able to argue anything in the end, and directly admit that he had indeed done something bad.
As for why Liu Bei had such an idea, because he knew that Wei Yan was a smart person and a person with great ambitions.
So he felt that he wouldn't let himself fall into passivity because of this matter, leaving a bad impression on himself, the lord.
Anyway, Liu Bei thinks so, and at the same time, he also thinks that Xu Shu and Liu Ba also think the same way. Otherwise, you can ask them. But Liu Bei still didn't want to do such a thing.
At this time, after listening to Xu Shu, Liu Bei said: "Yes, what Yuan Zhi said is very true!" ”
Liu Bei, the lord of the lord, agreed, let alone others. Of course, they actually agree with it. The key to this is that what Xu Shu said makes sense, and they all think so.
"So what does it mean to be straight?"
After listening to his lord's question, Xu Shu hurriedly said: "Lord, according to his subordinates, now our army can pay attention to the situation in Youyang!" Because Ma Chao will inevitably march into Youyang next, and there, there will be a big battle, whether it is General Wen Chou or General Wei Yan, they will do their best to delay the footsteps of the Liangzhou army! ”――
Hearing Xu Shu say this, everyone nodded, it was really like this.
Now this group of people can be regarded as understanding Wei Yan's most likely next move. They are not in a hurry about anything, anyway, there is a Youyang in front of Chenyang. Wen Chou, he is indeed not what it used to be. So it's really not to be underestimated. Therefore, they all hope that the Liangzhou army is in Youyang. Suffer a little loss. In this way, it can also give them a little more balance.
In the end, Liu Bei instructed his soldiers to send more scouts to Youyang to investigate, and he must report the most timely and accurate news to himself. For him, even if there was Tang and Lingyang before, it was too far away. Today's Youyang, although it can't be considered particularly close, but compared with those two, the distance between Youyang and Chenyang is definitely very close.
And Liu Bei was a late loser when he ate the news. I have to wait for the other guards to come back, and I will know the news. So today he specially ordered the horse to be investigated, and he must go and investigate.
Because of the distance before, he didn't know how to say anything, but now that it's so close, if it's still like before, Liu Bei will definitely be mad. He doesn't think he's good-tempered, but in most cases, most of the time. What he showed in front of his subordinates, indeed, looked like his temper was not bad. But everyone who really knows Liu Bei knows that Liu Bei has a good temper. Definitely not good, it's just that most of the time, he's wearing a mask.
Tanma did not dare to slack off. After listening to his lord's words, he immediately sent more people to Youyang. They are kind of clear. How it was before, my lord didn't say much. But the meaning is obvious. If Youyang's information this time is not timely, then the consequences will be really, unimaginable.
There are some things that Liu Bei doesn't need to say, Tanma can also see it, after all, what is their situation, they still don't know. It's just that the previous intelligence, and it is true, this city has been lost, or the guards will arrive first, and this exploration horse will arrive later, which really makes the lord not very satisfied. But this is actually quite normal in the eyes of Tanma, but they won't say anything-
Anyway, here in Youyang, they think there is no problem. After all, Youyang is not a Tang Dynasty, let alone a zero yang.
Just when Liu Bei was still discussing the battle between Wei Yan and Wen Chou Youyang, Ma Chao had already led his troops to the outside of Youyang City.
He had already heard the report of his own Tanma, and knew that Wen Ping and Wei Yan had gone to Youyang. It's just that now I don't know what the situation between the two is.
Regarding this matter, Ma Chao specially asked Guo Jia, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Lord, that Wen hired Wen Zhongye, eighty percent of him has returned to Chenyang, even if he doesn't want to go back, but he has to go back!" As for Wei Yan, he won't go back lightly, so Jia is even more desperate, and his people have already merged with Wen Chou Youyang's guards and are ready to deal with our army! ”
When Ma Chao heard it, don't say it, Guo Jia's words sound so reasonable. If that's the case, that's the most plausible explanation today. Yes, Wen hired him to leave early, but Wei Yan wouldn't, and he had to work with Wen Chou to resist his own attack-
And after Ma Chao listened to what Guo Jia said, he did compare his heart to his heart. If you say that you are a civil servant, you are really going to return to Chenyang as soon as possible. Yes, even if you don't want to go back, you have to face this sooner or later, and it's still better to be late than early. For a lord, Ma Chao and Liu Bei are both in the same business, so he can know the thoughts of a lord, so Wen Ping also knows a little about it, so of course he knows that it is better to go back as soon as possible!
As for saying that if he was Wei Yan, he wouldn't have brought the troops back, that was a fool's business, and could Wen Chou let it? Therefore, Wei Yan can only stay in Youyang City, like Wen Chou, guarding the city here. And the men and horses he brought before were also going to join the defense of the city, which is the place where the soldiers are united.
After Ma Chao heard what Guo Jia said, he nodded again and again, "Not bad!" What Feng Xiao said is really reasonable, I think that's the case! ”
Guo Jia smiled at this, "I think the lord thinks the same way, Jia Du understands!" ”――
But then this question also came, a question that was stricter than before, Ma Chao asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Wei Yan's men and horses before this, plus Wen Chou's men and horses in Youyang, wouldn't the Han army now have more than 10,000 people to guard the city?" In this case, it really doubles the pressure on our army! ”
But isn't it, even if Youyang is not a city as big as Lingyang, it is definitely not a small city like Zuotang. Therefore, Ma Chao also has to worry about his own side to forcibly attack the city and finally take Youyang, but how many casualties will he have to suffer. The casualties of any soldier are enough to make Ma Chao feel distressed, after all, they are all family backgrounds.
Who says it's not, Guo Jia also thinks so, but now in this situation, he has no good way. You have to attack the city, or you will make a truce? The truce is okay, but the morale will go straight down. And you have a truce, can't you continue the truce? I have to attack the city, or I have to think of a way to break the city.
But this thing, is it so easy, isn't it, if it is really that easy, this Youyang may be broken tomorrow, so this matter can be regarded as "can be met but not sought".
Ma Chao smiled at this time, "This is indeed pressure on our army, but there is no way." Now it can only be to break Youyang, and then enter Chenyang, so that Liu Bei can be driven out of Wuling! ”
As for the last place, Ma Chao knew that if Liu Bei even lost Chenyang, then he would not go to Rongcheng, but could only run to the southeast and go to Lingling. If you don't believe it, then let's see, anyway, Ma Chao knows that if he has big ears, he will be like this. (To be continued......)
