Chapter 593: Ma Chao led his troops to Taoyang
Ma Chao, who occupied Lingling, was in a good mood, and directly praised everyone, especially Ma Dai, and then directly let everyone rest without making any summary. Of course, what you don't have in this place is that you can't do it inside and outside the city. The inside of the city is naturally the mansion where Liu Pan lived before, and of course there is still a big tent outside the city.
In fact, Ma Chao is also tired, so even if he is very happy, he also wants to rest early. Although it is not enough to sleep to death, but after all, it can be a lot more steady, and the key is that this is the first stop on the road to Quanling, so he is naturally satisfied. Ma Chaoxin said that he could rest well tonight, unlike before.
Everyone thought that their lord still let his people go to the living room, but his lord said that he wanted his people to rest, so they all knew that they were tired of daring to love their lord. In fact, these people are not tired, so they also followed Ma Chao to Liu Pan's place, and then found a place to rest.
The Han army ran away, they will not come, only their own side will fight them, and there will be no them to attack their own side.
The war is over for the time being, which can be regarded as a lot of peace of mind for everyone, so it is natural that they can rest. Before, even if they were the attacking side, not everyone could rest well. Just like Cui An, he can sleep very well. However, after all, he is a first-class peak martial artist, so even if there is a noise at night, as long as he doesn't sleep to death, he doesn't drink too much. He can still find out.
After all, they all arrived at Cui An's martial arts, and they should have the vigilance. There must still be. And even if he kills again, he will know. Vigilance when away from home. Even in your own barracks, it's the same. So in fact, there is no big surprise, it is true that a first-class military general is not so easy to be killed.
Even if Zhang Fei in history was assassinated by Fan Qiang and Zhang Da, it can only be said to be an accident. Otherwise, with two third-rate generals, can they kill the third master so lightly. The third master has relaxed his vigilance, there is no way, he is taken advantage of. It's bad luck, so I don't need to say more.
When the news of the loss of Lingling reached Xu Shu's ears, although this was what they had expected, Xu Shu and the others were still very regretful. After all, they still thought that Liu Pan could guard the palace for a few more days, but the final result still dashed their hopes. However, for Cao Ren and Lu Su, they don't care much about this, after all, although it is true that Lingling has been lost, isn't there still a distance between the Liangzhou army and Quanling. Won't it all take time?
So it's going to take at least ten days for them to get here, which is pretty fast. Of course, for the arrival of the Liangzhou army, Cao Ren and Lu Su are them. It's not the slightest bit of fear. The last time they let the family be defeated, this time they continued to fight, although they did not think that their side would definitely be able to defeat the Liangzhou army. But it shouldn't be like last time.
Before Liu Pan returned to Quanling, Xu Shu and the others already knew the news. It seems that their information on Lingling is not bad, at least not like Wuling. Of course, in fact, Liu Pan walks slowly. He went to Taoyang first, and then returned to Quanling.
As for why Liu Pan had to go to Taoyang and then return to Quanling, of course, he reported to Deng Yi, the guard general of Taoyang. Although this Taoyang is not a necessary place to go from Lingling to Quanling, Liu Pan has a hunch that this Ma Chao will definitely take the Liangzhou army to Taoyang. Therefore, he thinks that telling Deng Yi everything he knows will also be good for him to defend the city, isn't it.
So he went directly to Taoyang, so he was delayed on the road, and he didn't run as fast as their Han army's exploration horses.
And when Deng Yi saw Liu Pan, he was not too surprised. After all, he also knew that Ma Chao had brought the Liangzhou army into Kou Lingling, but looking at the speed of others, it was quite fast, and he had to admit it. And when he heard Liu Pan say some information about Ma Chao's Liangzhou Army, even Deng Yi frowned, he thanked Liu Pan while thinking, if this Liangzhou Army really came to Taoyang, he estimated that it would not be as good as Liu Pan.
Of course, Deng Yi is self-aware, Liu Pan is indeed better than himself, and he admits this-
After that, Deng Yi sent Liu Pan away, and he returned to Quanling. However, Deng Yi was left alone in Taoyang, but how to say it, he didn't think that Ma Chao would definitely bring troops over, which was just a five-five number.
So Liu Pan went back, and when he saw Xu Shu and the others, he was indeed a little embarrassed. However, Xu Shu didn't say anything about him, after all, he was only responsible for guarding Lingling, and Xu Shu didn't have other powers. To punish or not, it is all his own business, so of course Xu Shu will not do that.
At this time, I heard Xu Shu say: "General Liu doesn't have to be restrained, now that the lord is not here, so after your affairs are only known to the lord, please make a decision!" As for now, please ask General Liu to tell us about the current situation of the Ma Chaoliangzhou Army, and what is the battle in Lingling? ”
Liu Pan nodded, in front of a very important strategist like Xu Shu, of course he didn't dare to do anything. After all, he is not as good as others, not only his ability, but also his status, even if he is the son and nephew of his lord-in-law.
So Liu Pan briefly told everyone about the battle in Lingling, after all, it was not a glorious thing, so he didn't tell everything in such detail. However, everyone is considered to be cunning and cunning, so they all understand his thoughts, so no one said anything, let him talk carefully.
After all, they are all under one roof, and it is not good to rub salt on other people's wounds. Everyone knows that Liu Pan is not afraid of failure, but this defeat is not a good thing after all, so he actually didn't want to say it, but at Xu Shu's request, he also had to say it, so ......
After listening to Liu Pan, Xu Shu, as the current commander of Lingling, of course he wanted to comfort him, so he said to him: "General Liu doesn't have to worry too much about this, it's just a Lingling City now!" Our army still has a chance, doesn't it? ”
Liu Pan hurriedly nodded, "What Mr. Yuan Zhi said is very true, in fact, I think the same way. However, Ma Chao's Liangzhou army is indeed strong, so this ......"-
I all know what Liu Pan means, it is nothing more than to say, this Ma Chaoliangzhou Army is so powerful, is this opponent of others? However, he definitely couldn't say that directly, so he automatically omitted the following words.
Xu Shuxin said, even if you know something, don't say it in front of so many people, this place is not only your own people, but also outsiders.
Of course, what Xu Shu meant in his heart was that Cao Ren and Lu Su were all outsiders. Even if they are reinforcements, they are not their own people after all.
But Liu Pan didn't understand this, and Xu Shu couldn't say it directly, nor did he give him any secret looks. He just said: "If this Liangzhou army doesn't come to Quanling, as long as they dare to come, our army will let them know how powerful our army is!" Moreover, General Cao and Mr. Zijing are also here, and the two of them will definitely not sit idly by! ”――
Xu Shu said two words, and put Cao Ren and them in, which was expected for the two of them.
I only heard Cao Ren say at this time: "What Mr. Yuan Zhi said is good, that's it!" If he doesn't come, the Liangzhou army will come, and if he comes, he will let them know the ability of our coalition army! ”
Even Cao Ren doesn't think that the tripartite alliance can still be the opponent of others, but this loser loses the battle, but he can't lose this momentum. So in front of everyone, he can be regarded as letting go of his cruel words.
Listening to Cao Ren's words, Xu Shu smiled and nodded, "When the time comes, I will trouble General Cao!" ”
Cao Ren waved his hand and said, "Mr. Yuanzhi is polite, there is no need to be like this!" ”
As soon as Cao Ren's voice fell, Lu Su also smiled at this time: "I have the same idea as General Cao, Yuan Zhi can rest assured!" After all, the three of us are allies, so naturally we are ......"
Xu Shu listened to Lu Su's words, and couldn't help nodding his head-
And on the second day after Liu Pan returned to Quanling, Ma Chao had already taken his own people and horses to Taoyang. Originally, he didn't think about going to Quanling directly, after all, there are several counties in this Lingling, although he will not attack every county in person, but this Taoyang, he should lead the troops to go in person.
Although that place was indeed not on the way to Quanling, it didn't deviate much, so Ma Chao put the second destination there. (To be continued......)
