Chapter 797: Ma Mengqi's Resolution to Gather the Crowd (continued)
Ma Chao said: "Okay, what Feng Xiao said is good, I don't know what else you have to say?" ”
As soon as everyone heard it, their lord was in favor of the military advisor, so what Mr. Fengxiao said was what the lord meant? After all, they have been under Ma Chao's account for many years, even if it is Huang Zhong, he is the oldest, has rich experience, and understands Ma Chao, so he knows what Ma Chao means, and he wants to take a detour.
And in this regard, everyone's minds have to be lively, after all, looking at the expression of their lord before, it is not difficult to know that the lord is not optimistic about seizing Jiangling. It's not that you won't be able to take Gangneung, it's just that ......
Pay for one's whistle! This is what everyone thinks, yes, if you take Jiangling, you won't have many people, and then, that can only be a chance to be given, after all, Jingzhou is not the only one on your side. The local power of Jingzhou. Liu Xuande, Sun Bofu, and Cao Mengde, who is still in Nanyang, aren't they all coveting Jingzhou. But if your own strength is weakened, how will you compete for Jingzhou with these forces at that time?
Everyone is not stupid, so when you think about it, you will understand. Looking at what his lord said, what Huang Zhong said, and what the military advisor said, they know the way, and now Jiangling doesn't know what he can touch, anyway, at least for the time being, it will definitely not work-
At this time, I only heard Chen Zhi say something: "Lord, what the military advisor said before is very true!" ”
Ma Chao hadn't taken Chen Zhi on the expedition for a long time, so he came to Jingzhou this time to bring Chen Zhi with him. At the beginning, he often let Chen Zhi follow him, but as he became more and more powerful, his strength became stronger and stronger. There are fewer times when he takes Chen to go on the expedition together, but even so, he has not forgotten that he Chen to Chen Shuzhi is a hard worker, and he has followed him for many years, and has made countless achievements, and he is definitely a veteran figure in the Liangzhou army.
At this time, after Ma Chao listened to Chen Zhi's words, he smiled, and then nodded to Chen Zhi with satisfaction, "It seems that my uncle and nephew agree with what Feng Xiao said, okay!" I don't know what you think. Speak your mind, don't think about it! ”
Even if everyone is stupid, they all understand what their lord means. So who dares to say no, say it again. What they actually think, too. I am not going to attack Gangneung again. It's a detour, yes, a detour! ——
As soon as Ma Chao's words fell, one person said: "Lord, it is indeed not suitable for our army to attack the generals now, so the subordinates are also seconded." Take a detour and send troops! ”
As soon as everyone saw it, the person who spoke was Zang Ba Zang Xuangao, and they all knew that Zang Ba was not as simple as a simple general. He is also a bit strategic, not a simple person.
Zang Ba's words can be said to represent other people, and they can be regarded as speaking everyone's voice. After he finished speaking, everyone else also said it one by one, nothing more than agreeing with what his lord said, agreeing with what the military advisor said, and agreeing with what Zang Ba said, all of them seconded the proposal, and there were no other opinions.
Cui An, Zhang Fei, Ma Dai, Guan Hai, Mi Fang, Wu Anguo, Liao Hua, Wei Ping, Liu Ye, including Huang Zhong's father and son, none of them objected, and all agreed to take a detour. You can't object to this at all, it's useless not to say that, the key is that it won't benefit you at all. At this time, taking Gangneung is not only a loss for one's own side, but also a delay in time, and this calculation will be a big loss, so who can object, who can say that they disagree-
Ma Chao is very satisfied with everyone's attitude, and he also knows the way, even if he didn't know much before, after thinking about it a little, he also understands that what he is doing now is the most beneficial to his side. is still the same thing, if your strength is to reach the sky, hundreds of thousands of troops, is it possible to discuss this matter here, and directly divide the troops to take Jingzhou. At that time, all Jiangling and Jingzhou will be included in their own territory. It's just a pity, people still have to accept reality, Ma Chao sighed helplessly.
"Okay, since you all think that our army should take a detour, then our army will naturally not attack Gangneung for the time being. However, the question arises, that is, where is it appropriate for our army to attack? ”
Ma Chao once again threw out the problem to everyone, yes, now I won't attack Jiangling, but where should I attack? This is a question, after all, going south to Wuling is the same as Liu Bei, or to attack Jiangxia in the southeast to seize the place occupied by Sun Ce's Jiangdong army, this is indeed worth discussing.
And when everyone looks at their lord, it seems that they have not decided where they want to go, or whether they have made a decision but have not shown it? ——
After a while, it was Guo Jia who was the first to say, "Lord, Jia thinks that our army should send troops to Jiangxia!" ”
When Ma Chao heard this, his eyebrows raised, "Oh? I don't know this, how can I see it? ”
Ma Chao asked Guo Jia why he wanted to attack Jiangxia, in fact, he could already expect what Guo Jia was going to say, but he still wanted to know what Lu Dao was, in the end, he was different from what he thought.
Guo Jia smiled, "My lord, the two counties of Jiangxia and Wuling, the fourteen county towns of Jiangxia, have a population of twenty-five or sixty thousand, and the population of the twelve counties of Wuling is almost the same as that of Jiangxia. But why did Jia want the main army to enter Jiangxia, not Wuling, but I have to say that Jiangxia's position is very important to our army! ”
Ma Chao's eyes lit up, he understood what Guo Jia meant, Jiangxia County is in the northeast of Jingzhou, it is Cao Cao's Yuzhou to the north, and Yangzhou is to the west, so in the future, his own troops will enter Jiangdong, but this important place is indispensable. And because the north is Cao Cao's Yuzhou, so if you attack Yuzhou in the future, you can also send troops from Si Li to Jiangxia at the same time, which is enough for him Cao Cao to be busy, hahaha, thinking of this, Ma Chao is smiling in his heart, Jiangxia This place is indeed very important to himself.
Of course, they know the Dao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Ce, and they can't know the Dao, and similarly, Jiangxia is a very important place for them, so Ma Chao also knows that if he really wants to enter Jiangxia, he will have to fight with the Jiangdong Army-
Ma Chao nodded to Guo Jia with a smile and agreed, and sure enough, Guo Jia continued to say that the importance of Jiangxia was all to his lord and to everyone. When everyone heard this, they couldn't stop nodding. If you don't accept it, there are still a few people who think it's good to enter the Wuling Tomb, but as soon as they heard Guo Jia finish speaking, they immediately "defected". I also have to say that Guo Jia's words are indeed very convincing, at least this has already conquered everyone, this is really, it is not acceptable.
Guo Jia saw that everyone felt that what he said was right and reasonable, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued, "My lord, there is another point, that is, judging from the time of day, after Sun Bofu has taken Jiangxia, he will continue to march into the army. And Wuling, it is obvious that Liu Xuande should be fighting in Linyuan City now. And his subordinates also heard that Huo Jun, the lord of Linyuan City, is very clever in defense, which is not comparable to ordinary people, so ......"
When Ma Chao heard this, he nodded, obviously, Huo Jun was in Linyuan City in Wuling, and he also knew the Tao, so he was actually not going to go to Wuling for the time being, but went directly to Jiangxia. I have to admit that Guo Jia really said it to his heart. Ma Chao is naturally not afraid of Huo Jun or anything, but he still said that, if he really delayed in one city and one place for too long, it would definitely outweigh the losses, not to mention that he would have to lose.
I want to go to Wuling, and the last thing I face is Liu Bei, Liu Cong, and Cai Mao, and I go to Jiangxia, but I have to face Sun Ce's side, so where to go, Ma Chao of course has his plans-
Thinking of this, Ma Chao said: "Okay, what Feng Xiao said is the same as what I think, I don't know what you think?" ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly seconded the proposal, they not only knew what their lord thought, but also knew what Guo Jia said, it was all right and reasonable, so if they didn't enter Jiangxia, where else could they go. Wuling, hehe, that must be not suitable, at least for now, Jiangxia is suitable, isn't it.
"Since this is the case, then according to what you said, our army will immediately enter Jiangxia, and I hope that you will work together to defeat the strong enemy!"
"No!"
Everyone shook the sky in unison, and they all expressed their strong determination, although the Jiangdong Army was the strongest in the world in water warfare, but in land warfare, they really hadn't been afraid of anyone. But if it's really a water war, then you have to study it carefully, and you can't help but take it seriously-
After finishing speaking, Ma Chao sent everyone back, and they had all said before, before the afternoon, he would lead the troops to set off and go straight to Jiangxia. After all, if you rest, Ma Chao also let the army rest in Xiangyang for a few days, so at this time, it is natural to hurry up and go to Jiangxia, this is not that Ma Chao is in a hurry, but he thinks that the soldiers are still fast, hurry up and enter the army, and take Jiangxia as soon as possible, it is also beneficial to himself and himself.
Ma Chao led his troops straight to the southeast, all the way to capture Yundu in Jiangxia. To be honest, don't look at this place as a county seat in Jiangxia County, but the Jiangdong Army didn't have time to arrange men and horses here to guard the imperial city, after all, their follow-up troops haven't arrived in Jiangxia yet. And Sun Celiu's people were all in Xiling and Qichun, so there were only those county soldiers who had surrendered to the Jiangdong Army before, so when they saw Ma Chao's nearly 100,000 Liangzhou troops coming here, they directly surrendered. (To be continued......)
