Chapter 556 Meng Qi led the troops to Chenyang
Lu Su said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, the current situation is that our army, the Yanzhou army and Liu Xuande's Han army are extremely cooperative, otherwise, even if one party does not act, then the final result will be unimaginable!" ”
After Zhang Liao listened to Lu Su's words, he couldn't help nodding, in fact, he thought the same. However, he knew that Lu Su was by no means a short-sighted person, on the contrary, he was very long-term, so on his own side, Zhang Liao was not worried about anything. But the situation of the Yanzhou army and the situation of Liu Bei's Han army, he didn't know.
So he said to Lu Su: "Sir, I really hope that the generals of the Yanzhou Army can really see the current shape clearly, otherwise, this matter is really tricky and difficult to handle." ”
When Lu Su heard this, he sighed slightly: "Who said no, I also think the same, the same as Wen Yuan!" However, Cao Mengde is by no means short-sighted, so the generals he sent should not be bad! ”
Lu Su felt from Cao Cao's personality that he would not send people to lead troops casually, it must have been after careful consideration-
Then, he made a decision, so Lu Su still had a lot of hope for the Yanzhou army. After all, although his lord didn't see so far, he also took it seriously, otherwise he wouldn't let himself be the boss and let Zhang Liao be the deputy. Of course, Lu Su didn't arrogantly think that he was so capable, but even if it was okay. At least lead the troops to the rescue, and think that they are still competent.
Lu Su is this person. Not so arrogant, but also arrogant. He also has faith in himself. He knows the strength of Ma Chaoliangzhou's army, but he is not afraid of anything at all. What's more, today's shape shì, this is no longer a matter of Liu Bei's Han army, speaking of his own Jiangdong army, Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army and his Liu Xuande's Han army, a matter of three parties, therefore, Lu Su does not feel that he has anything to fear.
Yes, he has worries and concerns. This is not less, but Lu Su really doesn't care about the Liangzhou Army, on the contrary, he really hopes to have a good look at the world-famous Liangzhou Army, look at Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, and then look at that ghost Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao-
When Lu Su left from Chenxian, Cao Ren was already with Guo Huai, and the two of them set off, taking the men and horses of the Yanzhou Army and going south to Wuling. Although the distance between them can be calculated is closer than that of the Jiangdong Army to Wuling. But if you look closely, it's really not close, of course it's close, but it's not a world of difference.
Cao Ren and Guo Huai. Leaving with the people, Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen personally sent them two miles of land, and this is the end. No way. Who let Cao Ren's identity and status be there, the two of them didn't dare to slack off. As for Guo Huai. It's also a rising star, so they're just as they thought they were. They all want to make friends with the two.
"General Zhu, Zidan, you all go back, Boji and I will leave!"
Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen nodded with a smile, and Zhu Zan said, "In this way, we will leave!" General Cao, Berji, please! ”
"Farewell!"
Cao Ren and Guo Huai said to Zhu Zan in unison, and then took the horse away.
Looking at the backs of the two, Zhu Zan asked Cao Zhen: "Zidan thinks this battle is ......?"
Cao Zhen shook his head, "The current situation is unknown, and we don't know what the situation of Jiangdong Army is, so it's really hard to make a conclusion!" ”
Cao Zhen is different from Lu Su, although Lu Su does not know the specific situation of the Yanzhou army, but he and Zhang Liao can analyze and say what they think. But what about Cao Zhen, obviously he didn't make up his mind lightly, because on the Jiangdong Army's side, he didn't know the slightest news, so even if he had some ideas, he didn't say anything in the end. Not for anything else, just because Cao Zhen is still cautious about this, at least for now, he is indeed like this.
Cao Zhen is definitely not the person who talks big, and he understands that if you don't investigate these many things, you don't know clearly, you really don't have any right to speak, don't you?
However, Zhu Zan was not the same as Cao Zhen, so he said to Cao Zhen with a smile: "Zidan, I think our army can resist the Liangzhou army, after all, this is now a three-way deal with the Liangzhou army, isn't this still winning?" ”
Cao Zhen said in his heart, and said in his heart, Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu, you are really taking it for granted, if this matter is really that easy, why does our army only occupy Xiangyang City now? As for Nanyang's territory, it doesn't count. And Liu Bei only occupies half of Wuling, plus a Lingling, part of Nanjun, Nanyang will not say much. And Sun Ce is only a county in Guiyang and a part of Nanjun, isn't it.
At the beginning, the three parties dealt with Ma Chaoliangzhou's army, but they didn't get much bargain, until now.
But Cao Zhen didn't say this to Zhu Zan, he just said simply, "Actually, this matter is not so simple, our army wants to win the Liangzhou army, how easy is it!" ”
After that, the two left and went back to Xiangyang directly. And the matter here in Xiangyang can be regarded as an end for the time being.
"Guys, let's go!"
"No!"
Ma Chao took the generals and his own people and horses to Chenyang. It was time to send troops, so Ma Chao naturally left with everyone quickly. Don't look at how many days he can rest. But when he can enter the army quickly, Ma Chao will definitely not delay time.
In fact, he had already received specific information yesterday. The reinforcements of the Yanzhou army have arrived in Xiangyang, so now. It is estimated that the other party is coming like Wuling. As for the Jiangdong Army, it has already entered Guiyang, and as for the current calculation, it is estimated that it should be in Lingling.
This was calculated by Ma Chao, after all, after Tanma knew the news of the two armies, he came directly to report it, so of course they didn't know what happened after that-
If you want to know, then you can only wait for the next batch of exploration horses to come back. That is, today's Wuling's Tanma and Lingling's Tanma. But now that they haven't come yet, it can be seen that there is either no news, or they are on the way, and there are only two situations, isn't it?
On the war horse, Ma Chao did not forget to ask Guo Jia: "Come and see Fengxiao, are the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army about to arrive?" ”
Guo Jia smiled: "This is natural, Jia expected." Within three days, the lord will surely receive more specific news! ”
Ma Chao nodded, the news he got before was that the Yanzhou army was led by Cao Ren. There is one more, I don't know. As for the Jiangdong Army, I simply don't know who led the troops. So although Ma Chao also praised Tanma. But the news of this horse exploration really made Ma Chao unhappy. People say, "Know yourself and know your enemy." Invincible", now you don't even know the situation of other people. What else do you want to be invincible?
Later, Ma Chao thought that this party knew that Cao Ren was leading the troops, maybe because Cao Ren did not hide himself, so he knew-
So the situation of the Jiangdong Army, if you think about it, maybe the commander who led the troops wanted to hide himself, so Tanma didn't know. Then I don't think it will be Sun Ce who will come, after all, if Sun Ce wants to come, with his character, he will definitely make a big fanfare, for fear that he doesn't know that he will come, and it will not be Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu is such a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, so who can let him hide it like that. Then this person is a bit interesting, Ma Chao thinks that he will not be a general, after all, a military general basically does not have that character.
But who is it, he thinks it may be Lu Su, but let Lu Su lead the troops, what is the idea of this Sun Ce? What is Lu Su's ability, can Ma Chao still not know, if it is really him, he is indeed his own fierce rival. The words in the romance "Fulu guards Rao Zijing, and there is Zhou Lang in the river water battle", Ma Chao also knows that it is not said casually. Therefore, Lu Su is such a person who is good at land warfare, so he can't be underestimated.
Most directly, in Jiangdong, after Zhou Yu died of illness, Lu Su was able to replace Zhou Yu, which explains the problem, why is it not someone else, but Lu Su. Naturally, because of his ability, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan both knew it, and Jiangdong Wenwu also knew-
After Zhou Yu, there was Lu Su, after Lu Su, there was Lu Meng, and after Lu Meng, there was Lu Xun, isn't this what happened in Jiangdong at the beginning. However, except for Lu Xun, those three are relatively short-lived, which is indeed a pity. Even when Ma Chao thought of this, he also felt a little regretful in his heart.
Zhou Yu is gone at thirty-five or sixteen, Lu Su can be a little longer, forty-five or sixteen years old, Lu Meng is forty-one or two, almost like that. Speaking of which, in history, all three of them died of illness, so Ma Chao also has to say that the medical conditions of this era are true. However, the three of them are all working hard for Jiangdong, and even if they are in good health, it is estimated that they will be tired and sick in the end.
Don't say anything else, let's just say Zhuge Liang, he is in good health, he has never heard of any diseases, but in the end, he is tired, isn't it like that. It's really "do your best, and then die". And when it comes to Zhuge Kongming, then I have to say that no matter how Zhuge Liang is evaluated, at least one thing should be said to be recognized, that is, he is indeed dedicated to Shu Han-
Whatever he was for, whatever his motives were, this is an indisputable fact.
"Report to the lord. The Liangzhou army is coming towards Chenyang, according to which it is less than fifty miles! ”
"Let's go down. Revisit! ”
"No!"
Ma Chao's Liangzhou army was already less than fifty miles away from Chenyang, and Liu Bei also felt that he was under a lot of pressure. He's really worried. This Liangzhou army is not slow. But I didn't come to the left and the right and didn't arrive, so what do you want to do?
Yes, now Chenyang has gathered half of his subordinates, and there are generals like Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao to defend the city, but for the menacing Liangzhou army, Liu Bei is not worried that it is impossible. He really didn't think that Huo Jun could always hold on to the city, if that was the case, what would he do if he had to invite reinforcements. If only I could hold it. I won't invite them myself, just let them see, this is their own strength-
But in fact, this can't be like that, and I don't think that way I am. In this way, he underestimated the Liangzhou Army too much, and looked too highly up on himself.
Liu Bei didn't do that, and finally he said to Xu Shu and Liu Ba who were in the house: "In this current situation, the Liangzhou army is less than fifty miles away. When they arrived, they shouldn't have come to attack today. But tomorrow, it will be their tentative attack. Yuan Zhi, Zichu, what do you think, Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army and Sun Bofu's Jiangdong Army. When will it arrive? ”
Hearing that his lord asked such a thing, Xu Shu and Liu Ba also glanced at each other, but they had to say. They are also worried about this, thinking about it. I'm waiting for news from Tanma, but I haven't come yet. Is it because neither side has arrived? The two of them don't think so, but this ......
In fact, Liu Bei also knows that the so-called "it is better to ask for others than for yourself", but if he can do it, can he be like this. So what else can I say, it's because it's no longer good, so I have a lot of hope for others-
He didn't feel that he had pinned his hopes on the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army, but he did have a lot of hopes for them. Because Liu Bei knew that with his own Han army, he was not the opponent of the Liangzhou army, so he had to join forces with the three parties, so he could be regarded as having hope of winning.
But although they have been united, this is true, but the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army have not come for a long time and have not shown up, which makes Liu Bei feel uncertain. The heart said that if they didn't come, or if they came late, then they really put themselves in.
Today's Liu Bei, for reinforcements, is really closer than seeing his own father and mother. And really, as if looking forward to the stars and the moon, I just looked forward to them coming. In the past, I didn't deal with the Yanzhou army, and the festival was not small, but Liu Bei felt that the Yanzhou army was so cute now, but unfortunately it didn't come.
I didn't have any feelings for Jiangdongjun before, but now Liu Bei feels that it would be great if Jiangdongjun could appear in Chenyang.
What this person lacks the most, he basically wants what he wants. And now that Liu Bei is for his own interests, this has become like this, so it can be seen that it is indeed not easy for him-
Xu Shu said to Liu Bei at this time: "Lord, my subordinates think that the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army should be coming soon!" ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What Yuan Zhi said, how can this be seen?" You know, our army's exploration of horses, there is no news yet! ”
Xu Shu shook his head slightly, "Lord, my subordinates think that there is no news, but it is good news!" Maybe at this moment, they were on their way back to Chenyang. And as long as Cao Mengde and Sun Bofu don't send those short-sighted people, according to their subordinates, after the Liangzhou army arrives, within three or five days, the reinforcements of the Yanzhou army and the Jiangdong army will arrive in Chenyang! ”
After listening to Xu Shu's words, Liu Bei nodded, obviously he agreed with his words very much.
"After listening to Yuan Zhi's words, I am much more relieved, and if this is the case now, I really don't have to worry too much! It's just that it's not so sure, it's ...... now."
As a result, at this time, the soldiers came to report that Tanma had returned, and that he had come from Nanjun and Guiyang. When Liu Bei heard this, he almost didn't jump up, he knew that what he was expecting was finally here!
Sure enough, two places, two scouts, one in front of the other, entered the house.
The one who came back from Nanjun said to Liu Bei: "Lord, Yanzhou military ......"
Liu Bei smiled when he heard this, "Hahaha! Okay, let's go down and claim the reward! ”
"No! Thank you, Lord! ”
After that, Tanma, who came from Guiyang, also hurriedly said: "Lord, Jiangdong Army ......"
"Okay, you can go down and get the reward too!"
"No! Thank you, Lord! ”
Tanma went down, Liu Bei was much more relieved at this time. He also smiled at Xu Shu and Liu Ba for a long time. (To be continued......)
