But no matter what the result is, at least Liu Bei knows that Cao Cao and Sun Ce, after knowing their own situation, will definitely send troops over. Yes, they will not necessarily bring their own troops, but they will definitely send reinforcements.

So the role of Xiangyang on himself, the reinforcements of Linyuan are not there for the time being, so if there are reinforcements in Xiangyang, then they are not too far away from themselves, so they can reach Wuling quickly, which is naturally good for themselves and themselves.

Then if they don't come, they will have to wait for Cao Cao to send reinforcements, and Sun Ce will send reinforcements. If you don't support it at that time, it's really ......

Liu Bei believes that there is actually no problem with this. Of course, if you can't hold the cities of Wuling, you can retreat to Lingling, and you don't believe it, his Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army and Sun Bofu's Jiangdong Army are so slow? You must know that you can have Huo Jun, the general who defends the city, Huo Zhongmiao, so this ...... -

Can't you support the other party to come over? Liu Bei didn't believe it, he didn't have confidence in himself, but in his own soldiers led by Huo Jun, he had confidence. Even if he knew that the Liangzhou army was numerous, it was strong, but even so, Liu Bei actually didn't feel anything.

In Xiangyang, Liu Bei's messenger arrived, and he was directly brought to Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen by the soldiers of the Yanzhou army, and the two principals in front of him. Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen had chatted a few words before, of course, what they said was that it was impossible for them to send reinforcements to Wuling. That's for sure. Unless it was their own lord who ordered it immediately, then they had no choice. But there is no personal order from his own lord. The two of them really didn't dare to act rashly.

Don't look at how Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen treat others, but how they command their own lord. It was always done immediately, and it was done very well. After all, Cao Cao is an ordinary person who can be compared, of course, there is no need to say more.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, their own soldiers over there entered the house with Liu Bei's messenger-

Seeing Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen, the messenger hurriedly saluted, "I've seen two generals!" ”

Zhu Zan nodded slightly, after all, the other party was just a pawn, and of course it was impossible to let the other party sit down and talk or something. He could only sit with Cao Zhen by himself, and he was standing below.

The messenger had heard what his lord had said. Who are the two people who guard Xiangyang? But even so, he doesn't know this, anyway, he just knows a name.

At this time, before the messenger could speak again, Cao Zhen spoke first, "You are the messenger of Xuande Gong?" ”

The messenger said in his heart, "You are not knowingly asking, this is not nonsense, of course I am the messenger of my lord." But he didn't dare to say that, so he quickly nodded and said, "Back to the general's words." Small indeed! My lord has a handwritten letter, let the little one bring it to the two generals! ”

Cao Zhen nodded, and then ordered his soldiers, "Submit it!" "No!" ――

After the Yanzhou sergeant received the letter from the messenger's hand. handed it over to Zhu Zan, after all, he was the main general, Cao Zhen's deputy. It was to assist him, so naturally Zhu Zan watched it first. And then it could be him.

After Zhu Zan saw it, he said in his heart. This Liu Xuande really asked people to ask for help from his own Xiangyang, but without the military order of the lord, of course he would not send troops. Besides, there are not so many basic people and horses, what if Ma Chao wants to take the opportunity to come to Xiangyang again?

Of course, Zhu Zan didn't think about how far this Ma Chao and the Liangzhou army were from Xiangyang now, of course, this was not in his consideration, anyway, without his lord's military order, he would not do anything. He knew that before his lord left, he specially told himself and Cao Zhen to guard Xiangyang City, and the rest, really, was gone.

Indeed, Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei are actually the same, they are all in a hurry, so they didn't tell this and that at all, it was impossible. It can only be said that after they gave the general information to their subordinates at that time, they returned with the army, and as a result, they naturally did not help the allies.

After all, whether it was in Sun Ce's eyes or Cao Cao's view, in fact, at that time, they really didn't think too long-term. After all, Ma Chao was tired of the affairs of the Nanban, so it is difficult to say what happened to his Liangzhou army in the end, and even if he solved the affairs of the Nanban, no one knew when it would be, so the two naturally didn't think too much, so naturally they didn't tell their subordinates anything.

If they really thought that Ma Chao would make a comeback again, and it was faster and earlier than them, the two would not leave some behind, what measures, but now, there is really none. And one side is because it is really beyond its strength, even if it is just to think, but it is powerless and powerless. As for the other party, it is purely not too long-term vision, and it just doesn't want to help.

Whether it is Zhu Zan or Cao Zhen, in fact, the two of them really think the same way. After Zhu Zan read the letter, he directly handed it to Cao Zhen and asked him to take a look, and after Cao Zhen took it, he also read Liu Bei's handwritten letter-

At this time, not to mention that there is no personal order from his lord, even if there is, Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen will not immediately carry it out. Speaking of which, it is because of Liu Bei that they regard him as their enemy, even if they form an alliance, but they are still like this.

After all, according to the soldiers in Yanzhou, who doesn't know, in this world, only Ma Chao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei have not been destroyed by their own lords. As for the grandson of Liaodong, his lord only needs to be ruthless. The other side will not be able to stop their own attack.

But Ma Chao is powerful and his strength is not bad. Sun Ce even owns Jiangdong, the Yangtze River is dangerous, and without a strong navy, don't want to win in the Yangtze River, which is also one of the reasons why Cao Cao has been fighting for so long in Jingzhou. Not only to expand the territory of his Yanzhou army, but also because the people in Jingzhou are indeed suitable for the whole army. and then train into a naval army, which is definitely not comparable to those soldiers in the north.

Anyway, Cao Cao saw this, so Ma Chao didn't know about it, so the battle for Jingzhou, in the end, hundreds of thousands of horses from all sides fought for so long, and the result didn't seem to be much different from before-

And for the last Liu Bei, a soldier of the Yanzhou Army. It is not an exaggeration to say that he hates people to the core. After all, he doesn't know how many times he has been defeated by his own side, but if he loses once, the other party fights once, until now. Not only did they not destroy each other. On the contrary, it gave his people some power and some strength. Therefore, many people in the Yanzhou Army hate Liu Bei. That's really good.

So they actually wished that Liu Bei would be beaten by Ma Chao's Liangzhou army, and they were very down. That's what they want to see. As for alliances or something. At least from Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen's point of view, as long as Liu Bei does not die, then his own lord will not say anything about this matter. What happened to Liu Bei in the end, it was caused by Ma Chao from the Liangzhou Army, what does it have to do with his own side, isn't it.

Therefore, Liu Bei's messenger was still waiting for Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen to reply to him, whether he could send troops to rescue Wuling, but he didn't know that the two of them actually had their own ideas in their hearts-

At this time, I heard Zhu Zanyi frown, and then said: "I have read Xuandegong's letter. I also know a little bit about Ma Chao's situation. However, before the lord left Jingzhou, he really didn't give Zidan an an order to send troops, so this ......"

Zhu Zan didn't say any more, the messenger understood, and said that it was good, but people politely refused, and if it was not good, they just refused it directly, and did not send troops!

But obviously he still has a bit of luck, I saw that he was staring at Cao Zhen at this time, which meant that Cao Zhen could have some different ideas. After all, I also learned from my lord that this Xiangyang City was guarded by two people, and Zhu Zan was not the only one who could say it.

turned out to disappoint him, Cao Zhen looked at the other party and looked at him, and he also said almost the same thing as Zhu Zan. If you really want to talk about it, he can't look down on that Liu Bei more than Zhu Zanqi, so how can you expect him to do it-

The messenger sighed, and then took his own leave with the two, and he also knew that with the two of them like this, this would not be done. Unless Cao Cao immediately ordered at this time, the two of them could still listen, otherwise, even if they said it was the first day, the two would not change their minds.

Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen asked one of their own soldiers to send Liu Bei's messenger instead of the two, which can be regarded as polite. In this way, he sent him away.

Seeing the messenger leaving, Zhu Zan smiled at Cao Zhen, "Zidan, this Liu Xuande is going to be unlucky now!" Hahaha! ”

Anyway, as long as he thought that Liu Bei was going to lose, Zhu Zan was happy in his heart. When Cao Zhen heard this, he also nodded hurriedly: "Yes, who said it wasn't." Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande, is destined to be defeated by Ma Mengqi! Hahaha! ”

Cao Zhen looked down on Liu Bei even more, so as long as Liu Bei was not good, he was happy. If the other party is good, he will be unhappy, that's all. So thinking that he was going to be defeated, Cao Zhen was naturally in a good mood and very happy-

And Zhu Zan said again: "This matter is good, I think we might as well set up a banquet tonight to entertain everyone in Xiangyang City, what does Zidan think?" ”

Cao Zhen smiled when he heard this, "Okay, this is very good, and it is exactly what I want!" It's really 'the same as what heroes see', hahahaha! ”

For the two of them, Liu Bei's defeat is worth celebrating, and it is not difficult to think about what the two of them think of Liu Bei. In other words, in fact, many generals of the Yanzhou Army are almost like this to Liu Bei, or even worse. It's not something that doesn't happen, it's a fact, it's really there.

And obviously at this time, Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen are both in a good mood, they think it is rare, so it is indeed worth celebrating. Thinking about it, it has been a long time since I have invited everyone in Xiangyang, so it is not impossible to take this opportunity to hold a banquet at this time.

I thought of it, but Zhu Zan didn't go, but Cao Zhen went directly to work. After all, he has more experience than Zhu Zan in this matter, and as a deputy, of course he should be busy with such a thing, which is not wrong. You can't let Zhu Zan, who is the general of Xiangyang City, go to work on this matter, it's impossible-

"The moon bends and shines on Kyushu, a few happy and a few sad", that's really the case. Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen, because of Liu Bei's business, they held a banquet in Xiangyang City to celebrate, but when they arrived at Liu Bei's place, after he heard the messenger who came back from Xiangyang City tell him everything, he really scolded Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen's eighteenth generation ancestors in his heart.

As for short-sighted, short-sighted, and short-sighted words, he didn't know how many times he had used them. Liu Beixin said that if Cao Cao was here, even if he had a good holiday with himself, it could be said that he would never die. But his people will definitely not be like Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen.

If you talk about Linyuan City, the Jiangdong Army doesn't have many people here, and I know this. But what about Xiangyang City, there are more people than Linyuan City, but they still haven't sent reinforcements, isn't this because of their relationship with the Yanzhou Army. Of course, I have to say that Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen are short-sighted, and they can't describe it. (To be continued......)
