So Ma Chao hurriedly ordered the soldiers to gather everyone to discuss important matters in the living room.

After learning that his lord had summoned himself and others, no one dared to slack off, and they all came to their lord's mansion in Qichun immediately. It can be said that it has been a long time, and his lord has not convened everyone to discuss anything, so everyone smelled something from this lord's meeting.

And after everyone arrived, Ma Chao smiled at everyone, "Everyone has arrived!" ”

"Lord!"

Whether everyone was sitting or standing before, they were all standing at this time, and then they all bowed their hands to their lords. And Ma Chao nodded to everyone, and finally raised his hands and made a downward motion, "Everyone sit down!" ”

"Thank you, lord!"

Everyone sat down, and then waited for their lord to speak, and all of them pricked up their ears, for fear of missing a word.

At this time, Ma Chao smiled again, "Everyone, I have summoned you here today, but I have to discuss it!" ”

Ma Chao went straight to the point, of course, after everyone heard his lord's words, they couldn't stop nodding. They naturally all know that their lord must have something big to look for him, but they want to know from their own mouths what the specific matter is. Although everyone has speculated about this, speculation is speculation after all, and what will happen in the end. But it has to be his own lord's say.

After looking at everyone's expressions for a while, Ma Chao continued, "Everyone. The purpose of summoning you here this time is to discuss what our army will do next, so I also ask you to speak freely, and it is okay to say anything! ”

When everyone heard this, many people looked at each other and said in their hearts. Sure enough, I knew that my lord had summoned his own people. That's what it's all about. After all, whether it is the Sun-Liu coalition army or Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, it can be said that they are all busy in Jingzhou, but they are the only ones. But there was no action. So after resting for so long, it's time for your own activities.

And everyone knows and understands the meaning of their lord, of course, from top to bottom, from their lord to various generals to ordinary soldiers, it can be said that there are definitely few people who are safe, so ......

It's been quiet for so long, so to speak, if you don't move anymore. I guess my arms and legs don't obey me. Of course, although that's not the case. But it's true, the longer you stay, the more people will slowly forget about it, now you are still at the forefront of Jingzhou, still in the most chaotic place in the world, and you are still on the battlefield, so peace can only be said to be temporary, temporary, and war is the topic that should be discussed now.

Therefore, everyone naturally understands that now they still have to continue to fight in Jingzhou, rather than be content with pleasure. These days, it can be said that they have relaxed and neglected a lot, and they are a little embarrassed when they think of themselves at this time. Fortunately, now the Sun and Liu coalition army is not here, but in Xiangyang, and Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army is in Wuling, which does not pose much threat to his side for the time being, otherwise he can't be so comfortable.

In fact, Mencius's words are still very reasonable, "born in sorrow and died in peace", and now he is already happy. At least after the retreat of the Sun-Liu coalition army, hasn't it always been like this. But his lord hasn't said anything, thinking that he knows today. Fortunately, he and the others will not be able to say that they are safe and do not think about danger, even if they have relaxed a lot these days, and slowly left the war behind, but they still haven't forgotten that they are still in Jingzhou now, and they are still on the battlefield.

Therefore, as soon as everyone heard the words of their lord, they immediately sat upright, knowing that it was time for their people to fight against the Sun-Liu coalition army and Cao Cao's Yanzhou army again. The previous period of comfort could only be temporary, and now it is still about to start a war that has not been going on for a while.

However, what is different from before is that it was the Sun-Liu coalition army that attacked itself before, but this time it was not, this time it should be their own side to attack others, as for the territory of the Sun-Liu coalition army, or the territory of Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, this is unknown.

Everyone still doesn't know that now Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, except for Nanyang County, has any territory in Jingzhou. But although Ma Chao knows about this, everyone doesn't know about it.

At this time, Ma Chao said, "Before you speak, let me talk about the current form. You may not know that my Liangzhou sergeant in Hanzhong has recaptured Fangling, which was lost some time ago, and drove Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, the main generals of Fangling, out of Hanzhong! ”

When they heard this, their hearts were glad. Because it was besieged by the Sun and Liu coalition forces before, the news here was naturally blocked for a long time, except for the first time when I knew that Cao Cao's soldiers had entered Fangling, the others were unknown. And after Sun Ce and Liu Bei and they retreated, Ma Chao and the others knew that Fangling had been lost, but now there is good news coming from Fangling, that the lost city has been recovered. Yes, this is definitely good news, even if everyone doesn't pay too much attention to Fang Ling.

But in any case, it is a county town of your own, so of course it is better not to fall into the hands of the enemy, so it is naturally better not to fall into the hands of the enemy. Especially Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army, it can be said that his Cao Cao Cao Mengde's ambition to enter Fangling can be regarded as well-known to passers-by, so at this time I heard that he had recaptured Fangling. And all the people were in a good mood, and their hearts were happy.

Ma Chao looked at everyone's expressions, and he was satisfied. No matter what you say, even if everyone no longer attaches importance to a county like Fangling, no matter what, the loss of Fangling has already made everyone unhappy. Anyway, it's all their own territory, so why let Cao Cao's Yanzhou army take it away, but now it's good. Fang Ling was recaptured by his own side again, so everyone was in a good mood, and of course they all knew it. I also understand, in fact, my mood is not like this.

Then, Ma Chao threw out a second bombshell, "The Sun-Liu coalition army has captured Xiangyang in Nanjun at this time. And Cao Mengde is in Jingzhou. In addition to the power of Nanyang County, if he hadn't made any contributions in Wuling at this time, then his Yanzhou army wouldn't have occupied any city in Jingzhou for the time being! ”

When everyone heard this, they said in their hearts, this is not a trivial matter. Yes, it's not that Cao Cao didn't occupy the city of Jingzhou, but when Xiangyang was occupied by the Sun-Liu coalition army, Cao Cao's Yanzhou army had no way to retreat at this time. Isn't it? There are enemy troops all around, so where else can he go. In addition to moving forward. Where else could he go?

It can be said that at this time, many people's hearts are very cool. The heart said Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, you also have today, this doesn't make Sun Ce and Liu Bei forced like this, this time I want to take a good look at you, how to break this situation!

Now Cao Cao still has a few people in Wuling, of course everyone knows, but they don't know the specific battle in Wuling. But it will definitely not be easy to think about, who doesn't know that the one who guards Linyuan City is the first general in Jingzhou, Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao, so since Cao Cao's Yanzhou army met this person, then it can only be said that they are unlucky. If you want to say how hard Liu Bei worked to subdue Huo Jun and his people at the beginning, everyone has not heard of it, so they all know that Cao Cao's Yanzhou army has encountered a hard stubble this time.

Really, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that Cao Mengde also has today, this is really an eye-opener, many people think so in their hearts. But then they also thought that now that the shape of Jingzhou has changed, how should they go about it. After all, what to do, in order to occupy in order to get more and greater benefits, this is what you have to do. And isn't that why my lord summoned himself and others to come?

How to do it next, then this is naturally how to obtain more and greater benefits, so ...... -

After Ma Chao finished speaking, he gave everyone a little time to digest, after all, these two things can be said to be indeed good things for everyone on his side, so Ma Chao also knows that he will calm them down first, and then talk about what he will do next.

After all, Jingzhou's shape is changeable, at least for now, hasn't it always been like this? In today's situation, even such a strong army as the Yanzhou Army is not at a disadvantage. In comparison, they are much stronger than them. Of course, for the time being, the biggest winner is still the weakest Sun and Liu coalition before the people, but now you can't underestimate others, at least now that they occupy Xiangyang, their power and strength have increased again.

It can be said that aside from Nanyang County, the other counties in Jingzhou, in addition to one Jiangxia, others, Nan County, Wuling County, Lingling County, Changsha County and Guiyang County, these counties are all occupied by Liu Bei or by Sun Ce, and they can be said to be the forces of Sun Liu's coalition army. So at the beginning, he looked at the weakest strength, but now he occupies most of the land of Jingzhou! ――

So even today's Ma Chao, he has to say the word admiration.

Indeed, isn't this the case, does it mean that your own side is weak, does it mean that the Yanzhou army is not strong? Neither, but is the Sun Liu coalition really that strong, naturally not, but people can grasp the opportunity, at least they can grasp what they should grasp, but they all grasp it. And I have to admit it. Their subsequent alliance, and then the alliance of forces, can be said to be absolutely a stroke of genius. Just such a move made neither his own side nor the Yanzhou army dare to act rashly, and in the end, it became what it is now.

After a while, Ma Chao estimated that everyone was about the same, so it was time to get down to business, as for the rest, about the Sun-Liu coalition. There is also the matter of Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, so it can only be put aside first and come to an end. Now it's more important to talk about your own business. The rest will only come later.

So at this time, Ma Chao said, "Everyone, I don't know what you think, but it's okay to say it." Today is a time for everyone to express their opinions. The so-called 'one person is short-minded', so it's good to brainstorm! ”――

And after everyone listened to their lord's words, they couldn't stop nodding, and now it's still like this.

Let your lord let everyone express their opinions and speak freely, and naturally no one will speak. Besides, they have indeed been comfortable for a long time, so at this time they are even more at war again. Naturally, they are all in charge, and they are ready to show more in front of their lords. Maybe I can make my lord more important.

The first to speak was the veteran Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong is different from everyone else, he not only met Ma Chao early, but also recently defected to Ma Chao and joined the Liangzhou Army. But even so, no one dared to underestimate him, at least as soon as he came, he made a contribution in Xiangyang, and his ability was definitely one of the best.

Although he is nearly sixty years old, he can be superb in martial arts, first-class martial arts, and his archery skills are not unparalleled in the world, but he is definitely ranked first in the world, and he is definitely at the top, if he is not the first, he must be the second. So for him to be the first to come out to speak, everyone naturally became interested, and they all listened carefully to see what he had to say.

At this time, I heard Huang Zhong say, "Lord, now Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army is in Wuling, and the Sun and Liu coalition army is also in Nanjun, so the opportunity for our army has come, in addition to leaving heavy troops in Qichun to defend the palace, at this time, we should go south to Changsha and seize its county!" ”

In Huang Zhong's opinion, it is the most beneficial to himself at this time, because whether it is Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei, they are not paying too much attention to themselves now, at least they are still some distance away from themselves. Needless to say, Cao Cao is using troops in Wuling, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei, they have just captured Xiangyang and are planning for the next step, so naturally they can't take care of themselves for the time being.

As for where to go now, then there are two directions, either all the way to the northwest and to Nanjun, or to the south to Changsha. Huang Zhong believes that if he goes to Nanjun, he may have to face the Sun and Liu coalition forces again, so if he goes to Changsha, he may be able to take the whole county as soon as possible. In fact, there is another point he didn't say, that is, because of his son's illness, he had stayed in Changsha for several years, and he was the first to go to find Zhang Zhongjing with his father-in-law, Huang Zhong can be said to know Changsha very well.

Therefore, he thinks that if he enters Changsha at this time, he can also play a big role.

And after Ma Chao listened to what Huang Zhong said, he nodded, I have to say that Huang Zhong's words are really reasonable.

For Huang Zhongqi, because he is loyal enough and has good skills, he is naturally valued by Ma Chao, which is not said. And his advice really made Ma Chao have to think about it, because if you think about it carefully, it does make sense.

You said that now Cao Cao's Yanzhou army is in Wuling, it should be said that it is a fierce battle, so he must not be able to care about his own side, besides, the two sides are still far away, and if the matter of Wuling cannot be solved, Ma Chao absolutely does not believe that Cao Cao can lead his troops to Jiangxia, so Cao Cao can not think about him for the time being. It can only be said that after they have solved the matter of Wuling, they can reappear in their field of vision.

And the only thing to worry about is Sun Ce and Liu Bei's Sun-Liu coalition, which is his current opponent. This is something I have to admit that more than 100,000 people, even myself, have to say that there is really some pressure. But there is pressure to pressure, but I am not afraid of them at all. When they besieged Qi Chun before, they met with them, and now even if they fight a few more battles, what can they do?

However, as Huang Zhong said, now that they have just captured Xiangyang, they should actually be the same as their own side, and they are all discussing the next move of their Sun and Liu alliances. As for whether he wants to deal with himself again, I think that this possibility is actually unlikely. (To be continued......)
