Guo Jia smiled, but he didn't say anything more, in fact, he also knew what his lord meant. Anyway, he would never let his brother come to the Liangzhou Army, really, he is in the Jizhou Army, which is definitely the best place to go, very good, very suitable for him.

And Ma Chao looked at everyone at this time, except for Deng Xian who asked him to stay in Zhending, everyone else was in the big tent at this time.

As for Zhending City, it is necessary to keep people, and it is not possible to leave people at all. Although it is very smooth for your own side to capture Zhending, if you don't leave anyone, if the Jizhou army or Yanzhou army attacks one day, it will be really difficult to hold Zhending with your own soldiers. Therefore, Ma Chao left Deng Xian behind, as well as 5,000 men and horses, to guard Zhending. In his opinion, Deng Xian can still resist an ordinary attack, and as long as he can resist for a while, his reinforcements will be able to arrive, so this is okay.

If there is no main general, Ma Chao doesn't think that the soldiers of his Liangzhou army can hold the truth. But as for Deng Xianqi, Ma Chao doesn't believe that he has any great ability. However, Ma Chao still has a lot of confidence in Deng Xian and his own Liangzhou soldiers. Therefore, even if a strong enemy comes to attack, then as long as Deng Xian can drag on with the Liangzhou sergeants for a few days, he will definitely be able to bring reinforcements to rush over in time.

But to be honest, in the world, except for Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, Ma Chao really doesn't look down on anyone. It must be admitted that Cao Cao, whether he is employing people or governing the army, is indeed good, and he is definitely second to none. In the past ten years, under his leadership, the Yanzhou Army can be said to be indeed the number one in the world, and it is definitely one of the best armies.

But in Ma Chao's view, it has to be his own Liangzhou army. Lined up in front of the Yanzhou Army. Although there was not much confrontation between the two sides, it seemed that in the previous battles, their own side had an advantage, and the other party was at a disadvantage. Of course, just a few of them don't say anything, but facts are facts. Even if you encounter them in the future, you will never lose to them. If you want to say that Ma Chao has enough confidence in his Liangzhou sergeant, this is true-

After talking to everyone, everyone didn't have any plan to break the enemy. But they can all see it. His lord seems to attach great importance to Guo Huai and Guo Boji, the guards of Gaoyi City. To tell the truth, Guo Huai really has no reputation at all, or their own army arrives in Gaoyi and wants to attack the city, they have never heard of Guo Huai and his people. So everyone really didn't understand it at this time. How could his lord pay attention to such an unknown person.

But if you don't understand, you don't understand, but you have to say. The crowd is their own lord. I really believe it. All know that since his lord can value Guo Huai and Guo Boji, even if he has no reputation now, he is likely to be an extraordinary person, so he may be a person with real skills. Therefore, because of the attitude of their lord, everyone did not dare to underestimate Guo Huai.

Ma Chao took a look. Because of the importance he attaches to Guo Huai, and let his subordinates also pay attention to his people, he thinks this is indeed good. After all, he also hopes that his subordinates can be cautious and cautious, after all, Guo Huai is indeed a person with real skills. If you dare to underestimate him. Then the one who suffers the most is likely to be yourself.

Seeing that everyone didn't have any good ideas, Ma Chao didn't ask any more. Anyway, if you can make everyone pay attention to Guo Huai and his people today, then you didn't summon everyone in vain. Now Guo Huai does not have any reputation, but the fact that he is not famous does not mean that he has no ability. If he Guo Huai is really famous, it is estimated that he may not be guarding the city here in Gaoyi. But even so, the fact that his people can defend Gaoyi City here shows that his people are indeed valued by the people above, can the waste defend the city-

For Guo Huai in Gaoyi City, it should be said that at this time, it is a bit contradictory for him. This contradiction is that Ma Chao still has the Liangzhou army. Why do you say this, it is because, for Guo Huai, he hopes that Ma Chao will bring a large army to Gaoyi, but he doesn't want him to come.

I hope he comes, that's because Guo Huai is not very old now, and he has a competitive heart, facing Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, and the world-famous Liangzhou Army, he really wants to meet them for a while to see what position he can be in the world. After all, although Guo Huai was born in Yangqu in Taiyuan, Bingzhou, he rarely went too far, but he also knew that there are so many capable people in the world, and although he thinks he is okay, but what level is it among the people in the world, this has not participated in the war, and he really doesn't know.

But at the same time, he didn't want Ma Chao's Liangzhou army to come, because Ma Chao's Liangzhou army arrived in his own Gaoyi, which means that the Jingcheng and Zhending in front of him have been broken by him. The result was really beyond his expectations, Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou army went straight to Jingcheng and Zhending, Zhending's guard Zhang Yi was beheaded, and Ma Mengqi took Zhending without much effort.

And Guo Huai also knows about this. It's that Ma Yan took refuge in the Liangzhou Army and became a traitor, Zhang Yi is still stupid and doesn't know anything, he takes Ma Yan as his own person, and is ready to use him, but he doesn't know that Lu Dao has already stepped into the trap that Ma Yan has already dug -

Otherwise, how to say that Guo Huai and his people have real skills, the previous information was indeed told to him by the Jizhou sergeant in Zhending. But it wasn't the Jizhou sergeant who fled to Gaoyi and then told Guo Huai. But the soldiers of the Jizhou army deliberately fled from Zhending and fled to Gaoyi, and specially informed Guo Huai of these news.

And Guo Huai had already bought a number of Jizhou soldiers in Zhending, just to deliver useful news for himself. So with such a point, not everyone can do it, but Guo Huai has done it.

Therefore, on the way to Gaoyi from Ma Chao's army, Guo Huai basically knew the situation of Zhending. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have enough troops to attack the city. At this time, he can lead his troops to attack Zhending. Because this is a great opportunity, but unfortunately, my own men and horses still have to guard Gaoyi City. The 20,000 Jizhou soldiers can only be enough to defend the city, but not enough to attack the city.

When Ma Chao was in Jingcheng, in fact, Guo Huai was already prepared. Although Ma Chao came sooner than he expected, for him, he had already prepared his own side, and he was afraid of their Liangzhou army. And more, for Guo Huai. He was still very excited, because for the first time in his life, he had the opportunity to fight with a famous figure in the world's famous army, so he was really looking forward to it.

The contradiction is indeed a contradiction, but everyone is coming. Even if it is contradictory, Guo Huai knows that the Tao is useless. Again, that's a good point. "The soldiers are coming. Since Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou army has already come to the city, then the other party is going to attack, so he will defend here to see who can laugh the most.

Guo Huai didn't think that he would definitely be able to defend this Gaoyi City, but he didn't think that Ma Chao's Liangzhou army would definitely be able to take the city. For him. In fact, what he values most is definitely not victory or defeat, but that he can correct his position in the process of fighting against the Liangzhou Army and see how good his level is. There is also the most important thing for me to be able to see my own shortcomings and what needs to be changed.

As for the city being breached, and then he will be punished by his own lord, then he can't help it, if the lord wants to kill himself, then he can only go to someone else. Now Cao Mengde is in the middle of the day, "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", this person is suitable for himself to serve.

As for Ma Chao, Guo Huai didn't think much about it, for him, it was obviously better to take refuge in Cao Cao than Ma Chao. It's nothing, it's all a matter of personal preference. In this way, Guo Huai is optimistic about Cao Cao, and if he wants to join Cao Cao's side, it is as simple as that. As for who will have more development in the future, Guo Huai thinks that it is still Cao Cao for these things. As long as he can defeat Yuan Shao, then he is a big overlord in the Central Plains, and even Ma Mengqi has to avoid his edge for the time being, this is Guo Huai's idea-

In fact, Guo Huai thinks so, it is not unreasonable, he has his own opinions. In fact, in the eyes of the world, they don't know much about specific things, but they all think that Ma Chao and Cao Cao are actually about the same.

Ma Chao now occupies Liangzhou, Yizhou, Sili, and the merger state that he just occupied, these four states.

As for Cao Cao, he occupies Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Qingzhou, which is about to be conquered, which are also four states.

So in terms of the strength of the two people, in the eyes of the world, it is indeed about the same, is there much difference, if you really analyze it carefully, of course the difference is big, but it is impossible for everyone to go back and distinguish those things carefully.

However, in the eyes of the world, Cao Cao has one of the biggest advantages, that is, "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", and now when the people are still willing to Han, Cao Cao's "coercion of the Son of Heaven" is definitely of great use. Although it also made many people oppose him, but in fact, for Cao Cao, there are indeed more advantages and fewer disadvantages, which is not wrong.

Only with Liu Xie, the son of heaven, in his hands, Cao Cao can do anything else in the name of the emperor except that he can't directly claim the emperor, and it is indeed unscrupulous. Yes, the simplest one is that Cao Cao can fight whoever he wants to lead his troops to attack, as long as he asks the emperor to issue an edict saying that you are a rebel, isn't it that simple.

But what about others, who they want to attack, they still have to make a noise first, and then list a series of bad things about the other party, and then install a few charges after the worst, this division is famous, and then they can enter the army.

This is the most obvious benefit, and it is obvious. Cao Cao can have today's power, it is indeed his ability, but it is indeed inseparable from him, who "coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes", and this is not wrong.

And Guo Huai, what he values is Cao Cao's "coercion of heaven", so don't look at him working under Yuan Shao's Jizhou army, but if he is asked to choose again, he may go to Cao Cao without hesitation.

So this time, fortunately, Ma Chao brought the Liangzhou army to attack the city, and Guo Huai was ready to defend Gaoyi. If Cao Cao had brought the Yanzhou army, it was estimated that it might have been a different situation, although Guo Huai would not surrender the city at once. But it is estimated that after a few simple battles, he will vote for Cao Cao.

Yes, who doesn't think about themselves, so of course Guo Huai is the same. If there is really a chance to join the Yanzhou army, he must go without hesitation. (To be continued......)
