After a night's rest, after breakfast, Shi Yuan took a cup of tea and walked leisurely in his small courtyard, a rare moment of leisure! It still feels good to be in your own home! After crossing over here, I really haven't had a good rest! Take advantage of the fact that there is nothing to do at this time, so just enjoy it!

It's a pity that it backfired, just when Shi Yuan was just about to enjoy a while, a servant came to Shi Yuan's side and said to Shi Yuan, there was a person claiming to be Ma Chao outside the door, saying that he had something to look for. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After Shi Yuan heard this, he smiled helplessly, it seems that he can't rest this time. Then Shi Yuan told the servant to lead General Ma Chao to the main hall. Afterwards, Shi Yuan stopped wandering around the courtyard and returned to the main hall.

After seeing General Ma Chao coming, Shi Yuan said, "Meng Qi rested well last night?" ”

"There is a labor division to worry about. After this night's rest, the feeling of fatigue in the past few days has been completely expelled. I came to see the military advisor this time, just to ask when the military advisor is going to leave for Chengdu? My soldiers can't wait to go to war. Ha ha! ”

"If it is true that there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, this time with General Ma Chao and your soldiers, I am more sure."

"Oh. Why, listening to the meaning of the military advisor, will there be any difficulties this time? Ma Chao also has some doubts at this time, although Ma Chao has just returned to Liu Bei, but in the past few days, he has also been constantly understanding the current situation of his new lord, it can be said that everything is now developing in the direction of the lord's favor. The lord attacked Chengdu, but there were 50,000 elite soldiers under his command, plus the current 10,000 reinforcements, there were 60,000 soldiers, you must know that Chengdu only had 30,000 soldiers, and the number was twice that of the other party!

"I don't know if General Ma Chao has noticed that after we arrived in Luocheng, we didn't hear or see the refugees fleeing from the direction of Chengdu! Didn't General Ma Chao find this a little strange? Shi Yuan said.

"What the advisor said was that he hadn't heard anything like refugees. But maybe these refugees haven't come to the city yet! ”

"Hehe, Meng Qi said this difference. It has been more than ten days since the lord attacked Chengdu, and even if the refugees walk slowly, they should come to this city! You know, every time there is a war, there are many refugees who are displaced, but until now we have not seen any of them. ”

"What do you mean?"

"There are two reasons for this situation, one is that the lord's attack on Chengdu was very smooth, and the city of Chengdu was taken almost after no fierce fighting, so it had almost no impact on the lives of local residents, so there would be no refugees. There is another situation, that is, the local residents are very fond of Liu Zhang, so the residents in Chengdu have spontaneously organized to defend Chengdu, so that there will be no refugees. I wonder which of the above two situations does General Ma Chao think is more likely? ”

After listening to the words of the military advisor, Ma Chao lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to the military advisor:

"Strategist, don't play dumb riddles, it's no problem for you to let me go to the battlefield to fight, but I really don't have a clue about these things."

"Hehe, Meng Qi thinks, if it was the first case, then we should be able to receive the good news from the lord by now, but now we haven't received any news from the lord, so I think this first situation is almost impossible. Liu Zhang's subordinates once had a strategist who gave Liu Zhang a plan to clear the wilderness, but because it would cause the people to suffer a lot, Liu Zhang did not adopt this suggestion, and the person who came up with this plan was dismissed, which shows that although Liu Zhang has no ambitions, he is still very good in treating the people. Although our lord treats the people very well, but now we are outsiders after all, no matter how good you are, those locals will also have a natural rejection of you, and now these people in Chengdu do not know how good our lord is in treating the people, in contrast, these residents of Chengdu are also correct in choosing Liu Zhang, whom they know very well, so I think that now the residents in Chengdu should also organize to guard Chengdu together. ”

"Ahh After hearing the words of the military advisor, Ma Chao suddenly stood up and said in surprise.

"Then according to the meaning of the military advisor, it should be very difficult for the lord to attack Chengdu now."

As soon as General Ma Chao finished speaking, he saw a guard running in from the outside, and said in front of the two:

"Lord Qiqi, the envoy sent by the lord has now arrived in the city and is waiting in the council hall."

"Oh. General Ma Chao, come with me. Shi Yuan thought for a moment after hearing this, and hurriedly said.

In less than half a pillar of incense, Shi Yuan and General Ma Chao came to the council hall together, only to see that there was a person sitting cross-legged in the council hall at this time. After Jian Yong saw Shi Yuan coming in, he hurriedly got up, bowed to Shi Yuan, and when he saw the person next to Shi Yuan, he asked with a trace of doubt:

"Could this be General Ma Chaoma, the tiger general who killed Cao Cao in the first place?"

After Ma Chao heard it, he hurriedly returned: "Exactly, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”

"Under the main tent, Jian Yong is also, it is a great pleasure to have the honor to meet General Ma Chao today."

After Shi Yuan saw the two greetings, he said to Jian Yong:

"Xianhe, I don't know what instructions the lord has for coming this time?"

At this time, the three of them were already sitting cross-legged, Jian Yong sat and arched his hand to Shiyuan and said:

"Yesterday, after the lord received the news from Shi Yuan to the lord, he hurriedly sent me to the city to wait for the military division here, but I didn't expect that the military division had already arrived in the city before me. Here is a letter from the Lord, who asked me to pass it on to the Commander. After speaking, Jian Yong took out a letter from his clothes and handed it to the military advisor.

After receiving the letter, the military advisor hurriedly opened it, and after a while, after reading it, the military advisor took the letter into his bosom, and then said: "It seems that my guess is not bad at all! ”

"Xianhe, you can tell me and General Ma Chao about the specific situation of our army's attack on Chengdu now!" Shi Yuan said to Jian Yong.

General Ma Chao, who was sitting next to him at this time, also straightened up when he heard the words of the military advisor, with some solemn expressions on his face.
