said to their lord, the three of them hurried to be humble, after all, it was true, coming out for more than ten miles to greet their lord, in fact, that was what should be done. What's more important is that isn't there still Liu Bei, to put it bluntly, it is actually for Liu Bei and them to see, so no matter what you say, Zhang Liao and they have to do it. As for Sun Ce and the others, to be honest, they are indeed very satisfied with Zhang Liao and them, which makes them feel very face-saving in front of Liu Bei.

After that, it was Sun Ce, the lord who spoke, "Okay, Wenyuan, Gongyi and Youping, this is not a place to speak, let's go back to the camp and talk about it!" ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly said, "The general's words are good, it should have been like this a long time ago, it should have been like this a long time ago!" ”

In the end, Sun Ce said to everyone: "Everyone, let's go back to the camp!" ”

After speaking, the army marched again, but it was Sun Ce and Liu Bei who walked in the front, and Zhang Liao and his subordinates could only follow behind the two-

To say that the distance of more than ten miles is indeed not far for them. It had been hundreds of miles before, but now there are only a dozen miles left, so what is it? And in terms of Sun Ce's marching speed, it was true, it didn't take long for them to arrive at the Jiangdong Army camp.

Zhang Liao has been these days, during the day, he has pulled the men and horses to the foot of Qichun City, and then retreated at night, and this has always been the case. So now that it's daytime, naturally the camp of their Jiangdong Army is not far from Qichun City. on this. Ma Chao's Liangzhou army didn't care about them at all, and they always let Zhang Liao and Jiangdong's behavior go. For them, there really is no plan to deal with Zhang Liao and them.

Sun Ce ordered his soldiers to camp on the spot, and Liu Bei, of course, is the same, but it must be some distance from Sun Ce's Jiangdong army. No matter how they unite, it will definitely not be that both sides are mixed together to garrison troops, that is impossible.

So the soldiers on both sides have found a good place. began to set up camp -

Qi Chun, in Ma Chao's temporary mansion, heard a report from a soldier at this time. "Report to the lord, I found that the reinforcements of the Jiangdong Army have arrived in Qichun! And Liu Xuande's men and horses also arrived at the same time as Sun Bofu's reinforcements! ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he frowned slightly, this news is not ordinary news. Zhilu said. Go down! ”

"No!"

After the soldiers left, Ma Chao went directly to the mansion, and then went to the city, he really wanted to take a good look, why did Sun Ce and Liu Bei's men and horses really come together? If that's the case, you're going to have to face a strong enemy.

Although it was Jiangdongjun or Liu Beijun before. No matter what, even if you don't underestimate the enemy. But it will definitely not attach as much importance to them as much as it attaches importance to Cao Cao's Yanzhou army. After all, there is a difference between strong and weak, Cao Cao's Yanzhou army is strong in his own eyes, and Sun Ce's Jiangdong army and Liu Beijun, in his own opinion, relatively speaking, are naturally weak.

But now the two sides are actually united, which makes me have to pay attention to it, after all, the union of the two sides is definitely not a simple effect of one plus one equals two, it must be greater than two, so can I not pay attention to it-

Ma Chao came to the head of Qichun City, and he didn't need soldiers to point it, he looked at the Jiangdong Army camp outside the city, and the black pressure was overwhelming, but no, fools can see that this, this is the arrival of reinforcements from the Jiangdong Army. And it doesn't seem to be a team, so what Tanma reported is not wrong, it is Sun Ce and Liu Bei's Sun-Liu coalition army that is here! It seems that this is what Sun Ce deliberately came to deal with himself.

Ma Chao thought clearly, no matter what the reason was, it prompted Sun and Liu to join forces and let the two unite together, but these are not so important, the most important thing is that the two sides are joining forces at this time to attack Qi Chun, who is defending their own side.

If it is said that he is facing either of the two parties, Ma Chao will not feel anything, but in the face of the coalition forces of the two sides, Ma Chao can no longer be calm. And he thought of one more point, that is, Shuang'an was actually united, and when he arrived at the city, he knew what Lu Dao did, what does this mean, it can't be said that their own intelligence is not good, it can only be said that they cover it too tightly, at least they don't know what to do. As for Cao Cao, it is estimated that he may not know the Tao, maybe he is still kept in the dark now.

After all, it must be his Jiangxia side that attacked first, Qichun was the first stop, and as for Cao Cao's Nanjun side, now it seems that it must be released-

Ma Chao thought a lot in his heart, and he really had to pay attention to it, but on the face, in front of his Liangzhou sergeant, he was still that light-hearted. After all, as the leader of an army, you must not be able to show negative emotions in front of the soldiers, even the slightest hint is actually undesirable. So Ma Chao, as the main father, has been a master for so many years, and of course he will not be ignorant of this little thing.

Before the end of the city, Ma Chao said to the Liangzhou soldiers at the head of the city, "Brothers, guard the city well, and don't let the enemy take advantage of it!" ”

"No!"

A deafening shout immediately erupted from the head of the city, for the Liangzhou soldiers, his lord is indeed relatively rare to come once, so he can come to the city today, and he can say a word in the city, which is indeed to make the soldiers happy, after all, Ma Chao is the supreme leader of the entire Liangzhou army, the leader of the figure, so he can speak, can he talk to other generals?

Ma Chao saw that the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers were good, and he nodded to everyone. Then he went down to the city, and returned home.

After returning to the mansion, Ma Chao directly instructed the guards guarding the mansion. "Someone will come and invite all the generals and the two gentlemen to the mansion for me!"

"No!"

The soldiers went to find everyone, and the two gentlemen, of course, were Guo Jia and Liu Ye. And for Ma Chao, such a big matter, even if he doesn't discuss it with others. But you have to let everyone know about it. Of course, it would be better if there was a good way to break the enemy or retreat from the enemy. However, to be honest, Ma Chao really didn't expect much from this. After all, if there was really a good plan, then Zhang Liao might have withdrawn his troops a long time ago. Do you still need to fight here?

Anyway, though. One thing is certain, that is, after all, one person is short of wisdom, so combined with everyone's ideas, he can always defend against the attack of the Sun-Liu coalition army, this is what Ma Chao thought at this time-

After a while, without letting Ma Chao wait for a long time, everyone arrived at the living room. Ma Chao motioned and asked everyone to find a place to sit down.

Everyone thanked their lord. Then they all sat down, and then I heard Ma Chao say, "Everyone, there is bad news to tell you!" ”

When everyone hears it, it's not good news? Since they can let their lord say this, then it must be bad, they have to listen carefully, what is the bad news, so that their lord has summoned everyone here. So everyone came to be interested, and pricked up their ears, for fear that they would fall, if they didn't hear clearly, it would be bad.

At this time, I heard Ma Chao say again, "This bad news is that Liu Bei and Sun Ce have united, and the Sun-Liu coalition army has arrived in Qichun at this time, and it is stationed in the rear of the previous Jiangdong Army camp!" ”

When everyone heard this, they said in their hearts that it was really not good news. Sun-Liu Alliance? Liu Bei and Sun Ce united and formed an alliance? Although the two of them are relatively speaking, they are the weakest of the two sides, but if they are combined, they will definitely become the stronger side-

Therefore, not only Ma Chaozhi Dao, but everyone also understands that if the situation in Jingzhou before, aside from the local potential that has not made any big moves, then outside the family, only his own side and Cao Cao's Yanzhou army are strong, and relatively speaking, Sun Ce's Jiangdong army and Liu Beijun's army are weak, so they have always been two strong and two weak. But now that I look at it, this is about to change, it should be said that it has changed, from the previous two strong and two weak, to the current three-strong opposition, so the situation in Jingzhou is ......

It's messy! It's messy! It's definitely even messier! Everyone said so in their hearts, the Sun and Liu coalition army can be regarded as uniting from the two sides to one side, but for everyone, they have definitely become stronger, so with such a strong party, Jingzhou can only be more chaotic, do you need to say more.

So after his lord said this, several of the people couldn't help frowning. After all, at this time, they still don't want to face such a powerful enemy. This should be said to be a portrayal of the hearts of most of them, and most of them actually think like this-

If you want to talk about the current situation in Jingzhou, the situation in Jingzhou is actually quite weird, where is this weirdness?

Everyone knows in their hearts and understands very well, that is, before, for the two strongest parties in Jingzhou, they now occupy Jiangxia, and they want others to besiege the city. As for Cao Cao, he just occupies Xiangyang, and Fangling is estimated to fall into their hands (Ma Chao doesn't know the specific situation of Fangling in Ludao), so ......

The two stronger parties did not have any advantage, but the two parties that were relatively weak accounted for many counties.

Think about it, isn't it, Liu Bei occupies the big city of Nanjun, and it is also the first fortified city in Jingzhou, Jiangling City, and they now have a lot of people inside and outside the city, but they and Cao Cao's Yanzhou army have no action, they can only look at the city and sigh, and they are discouraged.

Then Liu Bei also occupied Wuling County in the south of Nanjun, and Lingling County in the south of Wuling, do you need to say more.

Sun Bofu is not simple, whether the Jiangdong Army occupies Changsha County and Guiyang County, that is, Jiangxia, or they snatched it from others, and now they have to be besieged by others-

So today's situation, the situation in Jingzhou, for the time being, is like this, the dominant ones are Liu Xuande and Sun Bofu, and at this time, the two sides are still united, and its purpose can be regarded as just thinking about it.

After Ma Chao finished speaking, Guo Jia was the first to say: "Lord, judging from the current situation, the purpose of Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande is self-evident. ”

Everyone nodded, and then listened to Guo Jia continue, "The first is that both of them want to keep their current results, that is, the four counties of Jingnan (Changsha, Wuling, Lingling and Guiyang)!" ”

Ma Chao said, "Yes, Fengxiao's words are good, and I think the same way!" The two sides are united, of course, they want to keep their current achievements, and they don't want our army and the Yanzhou army to get involved in the four counties of Jingnan! ”

However, although Ma Chao said so, but in his heart, he thought, but you Liu Xuande and Sun Bofu are too simple, if you think that the two sides can join forces and join forces in one place to stop the progress of our army, then it is too underestimating our army-

This is really not Ma Chao's arrogance, but the overall strength of the Liangzhou Army is there, I have to admit that even if Sun and Liu are allied forces now, Ma Chao has to be guarded, careful, and attention. But for such a strong opponent, Ma Chao still thinks that he can achieve the most difficult victory, and he still has this confidence. But he also understands that he is also going to have a hard fight with the Sun and Liu coalition forces, which is inevitable. (To be continued......)
