In fact, this thing is indeed true, after all, Xu Du is in the easternmost part of Yingchuan, so to attack Xu Du from Nanyang, then you must pass Cao Cao's Yuzhou defense line. But don't look at Cao Cao's troops in Guandu and Yuan Shao are facing each other, but the defense line west of Yuzhou has definitely never been relaxed. After all, there is Liu Biao in the southwest, and Si Li in the west is Ma Chao, so can Cao Cao not guard against it.

At least for Liu Biao, the "dog guarding the household", Cao Cao is confident that he can defend him. And since Liu Biao is called the "dog of the household" by the people of the world, Cao Cao really doesn't believe that he can have so much courage, and he dares to lead troops into Yuzhou directly. And Xu Du is the emperor's capital, Liu Biao, as a member of the Han family, if you really lead troops to Xu Du, it will inevitably make people in the world have other ideas. At least at that time, Cao Cao will definitely be able to grasp the guidance of public opinion, which will damage Liu Biao's reputation a lot.

However, in order to prevent the counterattack of Liu Biao, the "dog guarding the household", in fact, it is also to prevent Ma Chao from the western division, Cao Cao has already stationed heavy troops in the western defense line of Yuzhou, otherwise he really would not be at ease to confront Yuan Shao's Jizhou army in Guandu.

In fact, let alone Cao Cao, Liu Biao is in the south of Nanyang, as well as in the area of Xiangyang in the north of Nanjun, it can be said that he also has heavy troops. Ma Chao is no exception, in Henan Yin, the easternmost part of Sili, especially Luoyang and Bishui Pass, they are also stationed with heavy troops, so aren't they all the same-

As soon as Liu Bei heard what Liu Biao said, he understood that Liu Jingsheng did not dare to enter the army because of this great opportunity. Of course, Liu Bei also knew that in Jingzhou, his Liu Biao's words really didn't count. But you don't mean it, but half of the rights are always there. So in Liu Bei's view, he, Liu Jingsheng, is making excuses for not daring to enter the army. If he really wants to attack Xudu, then he can do anything, but if he really doesn't want to, then he has his own reasons.

Liu Bei's natural way Cao Cao's heavy troops in Yuzhou, but Liu Bei didn't mean to let Liu Biao capture Xu Du at once. Even if you capture Xudu, do you think you can hold it? The main thing Liu Bei meant was that he wanted Liu Biao to make some trouble for Cao Cao, so that he couldn't fight Yuan Benchu well in Guandu, and this would be okay. As for the results of the battle of Yuan Cao. This is not something that Liu Bei can decide.

But Liu Bei also understands that he can't do anything now, let alone himself as an outsider, who it is, he can't persuade him Liu Jingsheng. He has decided at this time. If you don't go to Yuzhou, then no one can persuade them. Unless it's Cai Mao, he said. He wants to enter Yuzhou, and it is estimated that Liu Jingsheng will be able to change his mind. However, Cai Mao and his people are pro-Cao. Everyone knows that it would be good if he didn't surrender to Cao Mengde, and you still expect him to enter Yuzhou? ——

Zhilu Dao had no choice at this time, Liu Bei could only say goodbye to Liu Biao, "Brother Jingsheng, go down first." ”

Liu Biao is worried that he can't take the initiative to send off guests. This is not just Liu Bei, he proposed to go down to rest by himself, and he was in harmony with him, so he came to push the boat down the river, "Ah Xuande has worked hard all the way." It's good to go down early and rest! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he also knew that Liu Biao had intended to let him leave a long time ago. Alas, it's better to go down early and rest, so as not to be annoying here. However, Liu Bei said in his heart, you Liu Jingsheng missed a great opportunity today, is it true that there are no people in the world who go to revive the Han Dynasty? I have to say that Liu Bei has been affected a lot now, after all, he feels that he is lonely now, and there are only a few subordinates, and there is nothing else, so what can he do to compete with the princes of the world.

It is indeed true that Liu Bei is planning for himself, but he has to admit that he does have a heart to revive the Han family, after all, now that the Han family is in decline, as a relative of the Han family, it is impossible for Liu Bei to have no ideas. And he knows very well that for himself, reviving the Han Dynasty is not only a goal for himself, but also an opportunity for himself, no one in the world has done this, so if he does it himself, he will be able to subdue many like-minded people with him, but now it is still not enough.

And Liu Biaoqi is an empty land, but he has done nothing, so he knows that Lu Dao guards his own "one acre and three points of land" as his state pastor. Therefore, he is doomed, but he must not be like him, and he will be defeated with him. Maybe there will be a good opportunity in the future, Liu Bei is really unwilling, he has great ambitions, but unfortunately he has been depressed. And Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng is a person, and he has a powerful territory, but he doesn't know how to make good use of it, and he is called "the dog of the household" by the people of the world.

Compared with himself, Liu Biao has everything, but he doesn't have the heart to fight for the world. But apart from his ambitions, he really has nothing.

Liu Bei was like this, unwilling, and depressedly went back to the accommodation arranged for him by Liu Biao and went to rest. But it is impossible for him to fall asleep for a while, after all, if he Liu Bei can still sleep well at this time, then his heart is too big-

In the state, Ma Chao has already led his troops to the city of Loufu, and this place is the only place to pass from Xihe to the Yin Pavilion of Yanmen County.

Ma Chaozhi said that Lu Weihuang must have troops stationed in Loufu City, but there were fewer than he expected. After the investigation of the horse exploration station, it was learned that Lou Fu City only had 5,000 guards. These 5,000 guards, if it were in the open field, would not be a cause for concern at all, but if it was used to defend the city, then it would not be as simple as 5,000 men and horses.

On the first day, Ma Chao still let the army rest for a day under Loufu City. And after letting Zhang Fei and the others take away 30,000 horses, there are still 70,000 horses left on Ma Chao's side. However, at this time, whether it is for Ma Chao or for the Liangzhou army, if they have 70,000 horses now, if they can't even capture a city with 5,000 guards, then won't it make the world laugh at shame.

Really, when the time comes, the people of the world should say that the 70,000 troops of the Liangzhou army can't even capture a small city of 5,000 people.

Whether it is Ma Chao or the soldiers of Liangzhou, of course they don't like to hear such words. So on the second day, Ma Chao asked Ma Dai to attack the city seriously, and he must let them see the strength of his Liangzhou army.

As a result, it was a bitter defender who was annoyed. The guards in Loufu City, you can say that they are soldiers of the Bingzhou Army, but they are not the regular troops of the Bingzhou Army, they are just county soldiers, and to put it bluntly, they are dedicated to guarding the city. Therefore, that combat power cannot be compared with the Liangzhou army at all. It's just that with the city as a backing and such a barrier, it can indeed compete with the Liangzhou army for a while, but after a long time, it will be attacked and lost by others for a long time.

Lou Fushou will know the way, but he can't help it. After all, there are 5,000 guards, which is not a shortage of people in the state. Yanmen is a big county with hundreds of thousands of people, so there are 5,000 people in this small city. Look at what he said in the Liangzhou Army, whether it is Shangjun or Xihe, it is estimated that there are no 5,000 men and horses together.

At this time, Ma Dai and the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army were attacking Loufu City. Ma Dai has indeed grown a lot after so many battles, at least that experience has increased in a straight line. Now that he is leading troops to attack such a small city, it is really no problem, Ma Dai is no longer the general who led troops to attack the city with little experience, and has already grown into a general who can lead a large army to fight.

To say that Ma Chao really values Ma Dai, after all, he is the same sect, and he can't write two horse characters in one stroke. If you can't trust the people of your clan, then who else can you trust? Just like Cao Cao, Cao Cao's most trusted brothers in his life are actually the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers, and not those generals with foreign surnames, this is right. Even Xu Chu is one of the people he trusts very much, but to be honest, Xu Chu is still not as good as the previous ones.

Ma Dai almost reached the top of the city several times, but was repelled by the guards of Lou Annoyance with his guards. Ma Dai also knew that the Lou Fu guards defended themselves for the first time, which was still good. Although the combat power is indeed inferior, but after all, it has an advantage, so Zhilu Dao makes good use of it, Ma Dai is three times unsuccessful in the city, and Ma Chao has already collected troops from Mingjin.

After all, it's just the first temptation, not a big attack, so it's okay to play your own momentum. And Ma Chao believes that Ma Dai can have a more intuitive understanding of the combat power of the Lou annoying guards, after all, he is watching the battle from behind, and Ma Dai can really fight against the enemy. Therefore, what I have seen must not be understood in more detail than anyone else's personal experience.

Hearing the sound of his own gold, Ma Dai led his troops to withdraw. After returning to his own side, he saw his lord, Ma Chao said to Ma Dai: "Bozhan, it's hard work, how is this battle?" ”

Ma Dai smiled, "Don't worry, the lord can rest assured, even if it is one day today, within three days, his subordinates will lead troops to break through Loufu City!" ”

Ma Chao wanted to be Ma Dai's words, and said: "Okay, Bozhan can be like this, then he has made a contribution, hahaha!" It's up to Bozhan! ”

"The subordinates are willing to serve the dogs and horses for the lord, and everything is done!"

When Ma Chao heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, okay, not bad. It seems that it is right to use Ma Dai to lead troops to siege the city, but others are really not suitable.

Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Guan Hai and Wu Anguo had already divided their troops and gone to Shuofang, so there was no need to say more. And the remaining few, Cui An is the least fond of siege warfare, and Guo Jia needless to say, Wei Ping is not good at this at all. So in fact, only Mi Fang may be okay, but he is not as strong as Ma Dai, and Ma Chao still understands this very clearly. So if there was no one else, Mi Fang would be able to go on top, but with Ma Dai here, of course it would be better for him to go. (To be continued......)
