Chapter 540: Jiaozhou Reversal

If it was Zhang Xiang's own army, Zhang Xiang could have taken advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate in one fell swoop, but unfortunately it was not, it would have been very good to be able to fight this kind of result, and if it continued, it was likely that Zhang Xiang would lose.

It's better to accept it when you see it! If you don't withdraw your troops, these barbarians will probably fall first.

These southern barbarians are very greedy, and Jiaozhou's temptation to them is very great, and they were the ones who hit the hardest last night, while the Tujia people are more conservative, regardless of whether they are the last strikers.

Still not ambitious, they are much smarter than the Southern Barbarians.

Meng Huo even went to Zhang Xiang to ask for his order to fight, "Lord, it is a good opportunity for us that the enemy has retreated, why don't you continue to pursue, is what the lord said is lying to us." ”

"I Zhang Xiang is a man of his word, this kind of thing will naturally not break his word and get fat, otherwise it is not a joke of the world, and those who take down Shixie will have to be handed over to the state, this order is true."

Meng Huo: "Then why?" ”

Zhang Xiang: "Meng Huo, why do you ask me?" Then I'll tell you, look at your men first, and how many of them can stand up now. Meng Yu glanced at the Southern Barbarian warriors under his command.

Most of them sit on the battlefield, and in this respect they are not even as good as the Tujia people.

"I don't need to say anything more now! Shi Xie's subordinates have a large number of soldiers, plus Zhuge Liang's men and horses, even if they retreat, it is not such a tired soldier who can pick up cheap, what can not be rushed, the southern barbarians have more hope of getting Jiaozhou. ”

Lin Xi is completely different from Meng Shu, of course he also wants the Tujia family to get Jiaozhou, but he knows better that even if the Tujia family gets Jiaozhou, they are also the people of Zhang Xiang's subordinates.

This will never change, Lin Xi thinks more than Meng Shu, so Lin Xi is more cautious.

Such a reckless move as Meng Shu, Lin Xi would never do.

Zhuge Liang returned to the camp and went directly to meet Shixie, it can be said that Zhuge Liang was also spoiled by Liu Bei, Liu Bei did rely on Zhuge Liang to achieve today's status, but Zhuge Liang did not rely on Liu Bei to achieve today's reputation.

Liu Bei can tolerate Zhuge Liang's rudeness, but Shixie cannot.

Last night, a soldier Xie retreated first, and was even cut by those foreigners, which was a humiliation for Shi Xie, and naturally he didn't want people to say it, but Zhuge Liang asked him face to face, and Zhuge Liang may have forgotten that it was Shi Xie in front of him and not Liu Bei.

There are some bad habits, maybe even Zhuge Liang himself didn't notice it, "Shizhou Mu, now is our chance to fight back." ”

"Fight back, is Mr. Zhuge mocking me? We just stepped back. ”

Zhuge Liang: "It's because we have just retreated, so the enemy will be defenseless, even if there is defense, if our strength is far above the other party, what is there to fear." ”

"I'm afraid, Wu Shixie has never been afraid, but Jiaozhou here is not another place, the terrain is very complicated, Zhang Xiang is not easy to provoke, I am afraid that he is in the right place to attack."

"What about Zhang Xiang, he is just a person, how to fight without troops."

Shi Xie: "Since ancient times, there have been countless things where less wins more, could it be that Zhang Xiang will be worse than those people, and Mr. Zhuge won't want to lose both!" "It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry.

Zhuge Liang never thought that it would be so difficult to offer advice, and Zhuge Liang was really deflated here in Shixie.

Taking advantage of the prosperity and returning from defeat, now is Zhuge Liang's mood at this time, if there is no Shixie's troops, it is impossible for him to fight against Zhang Xiang, and now there are only three generals on Zhang Xiang's side.

But who knows how many generals there are around Zhang Xiang, Yang Xu appeared in Long Ben, and there is already a lineup of big battles, and Zhuge Liang has no strength in leading troops.

It can be said that Zhuge Liang is good at defending but not attacking, if he only relies on one Zhao Yun, it is impossible to deal with Zhang Xiang, and he missed the opportunity!

Zhuge Liang can only use some small means to make the news of Zhang Xiang's appearance in Jiaozhou public, so that everyone in the world knows, in fact, Zhuge Liang values Cao Cao's reaction the most.

Cao Cao will not take the opportunity to go north, Zhang Xiang's subordinates are war-weary, so they did not go south to the Central Plains, but Cao Cao is not like this, Cao Cao and Zhang Xiang have been fighting all year round, and they do not stop every year.

Even if you send troops at this time and take advantage of it, but Zhang Xiang came back from Jiaozhou, it was just another tug-of-war, so what's the point?

With the power of Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao, it is not something that can be solved overnight, Cao Cao can finally stop for a year, and he will not be bored, but Cao Cao's eyes turned to Jingzhou.

Zhang Xiang's Jizhou and Liu Bei's Jingzhou are both places that Cao Cao covets, Jizhou Cao Cao is not sure yet, but Jingzhou is different, what kind of ability Liu Bei has He Cao Cao knows very well.

Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang to flourish, but now that Zhuge Liang is supported by Zhang Xiang, then Jingzhou is much easier for Cao Cao, and Liu Bei without Zhuge Liang is a toothless tiger.

What's more, Liu Bei also did something that surprised Cao Cao, since he asked Ma Chao to take the cavalry to support Zhuge Liang, he was afraid that Zhuge Liang would be injured by Zhang Xiang.

Although such worries are inevitable, it is simply unwise to reduce one's own strength.

Dividing the army into two halves is a taboo for soldiers, at least Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao will never do this, Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao have their own heavily defended places, and some places seem to be abandoned but actually not.

For example, in Yuzhou, Zhang Xiang's army made a fuss for so long, but it was easily taken back by Cao Cao, because of this.

Zhang Xiang often goes out, but there are never too many people around him, but he is afraid of dispersing his troops, Liu Bei does not have Zhuge Liang's help, and he is not Cao Cao and Zhang Xiang's opponent at all.

When Ma Chao entered Jiaozhou, Cao Cao suddenly took the big cake and stormed Wancheng, Cao Cao didn't want to help Zhang Xiang, because Zhang Xiang didn't need Cao Cao's help at all, he could still retreat.

Cao Cao is at most the icing on the cake, and neither side cares.

During this time, Zhang Xiang did not go further, Shi Xie and others did not take a step back, the two sides were also in a stalemate stage, and Ma Chao's entry would not be of much help to Shi Xie's side.

Jiaozhou is not suitable for the use of cavalry at all, and Zhuge Liang is just one more fierce general.

Shi Xie was very happy, but Zhuge Liang was not happy, "General Ma, why are you here, what should I do on the lord's side?" ”

Ma Chao: "There is no war on the lord's side, and the last general is here to support the military division." ”

Zhuge Liang: "The lord is really confused, Zhang Xiang is in Jiaozhou, it will inevitably affect Cao Cao's judgment, either north or south, at this time, the lord divides his troops, Cao Cao is afraid that he will go south." ”

"Wancheng is impregnable, and the lord is personally stationed there, so it should be fine."

"There is an ancient method of attacking the city, that is, heavy troops and strong attack, Cao Cao is very good at this, when the princes jointly fight against Dong, Cao Cao is the general of the army, how can it be so simple?"

Zhao Yun: "Military advisor, do we want to withdraw from Jiaozhou?" ”

"Yes, quit Jiaozhou immediately."

Ma Chao is a little reluctant, the grievances and grievances between Ma Chao and Zhang Xiang are known to the world, and finally Zhang Xiang left the north and came to the south, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ma Chao.

Besides, he just arrived in Jiaozhou, and he didn't want to go back immediately, "Military Division, all this is your guess, do you want to wait until the matter is confirmed before making a decision." ”

"When something happens, it's too late, General Ma's men are all cavalry, you can be one step late, unless, I won't stop you." Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun left first without asking Shixie to resign.

Zhuge Liang knew very well that if he resigned, it would not be so easy to leave.

If Ma Chao wasn't still there, Shi Xie would probably have to send troops to chase Zhuge Liang back, and I have to say that Zhuge Liang saw Shi Xie very thoroughly.

Ma Chao is the kind of person who can be recognized at a glance in the crowd, even in the midst of thousands of troops, Zhang Xiang saw Ma Chao at a glance from a high place, although it was only a vague figure.

Zhang Xiang is also sure that it is Ma Chao, and anyone who has seen Ma Chao will not admit his mistake in his life.

"Ma Chao is here, I haven't really shown up yet, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei are so confident!"

Yang Xu: "This is not self-confidence, sometimes you don't have to show up with the lord, it already says everything, the lord doesn't show up just because there is no silver here, who can you deceive!" ”

"Ma Chao is here, of course he greeted him."

Yang Xu: "It seems that Ma Chao's face is bigger than Zhuge Liang, but it's not necessary, he didn't show up before, and now he doesn't need to show up, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun left last night, which is also the reason why they see the lord below." ”

"Left, why?"

As soon as Guo Jia spoke, his mouth was full of wine, "It is likely that because he is worried about Liu Bei, Cao Cao will not let go of this opportunity." ”

Zhang Xiang: "Where did you get the wine?" ”

"Stolen." Guo Jia is also outspoken.

"Where did you steal it?"

"My lord! There's no wine anywhere else that can be seen by subordinates! This wine is simply a waste when hidden. When Yang Xu saw Zhang Xiang and Guo Jia's state, he knew that they didn't take Zhuge Liang's departure to heart.

However, it is also Zhuge Liang who stays is a problem, and it is not a problem if Zhuge Liang leaves, it is Cao Cao who should be worried, not Zhang Xiang in Jiaozhou.

Yang Xu: "Lord, do you want to try to recruit Ma Chao, he is alone now." ”

"If I could be recruited, I would have recruited a long time ago, and I don't have to wait until now, Ma Chao is a very grudgeful person, even if he is really forced to surrender, I don't have the confidence to reuse, forget it, kill if you can!"

Zhang Xiang wanted to kill Ma Chao at first sight, but it was delayed until now for various reasons.

Ma Chao did not restrain because of Zhuge Liang's departure, but directly fought the generals, this kind of scene is naturally what Shixie is happy to see, Shixie has no generals, so naturally he can't fight generals.

Even if Ma Chao loses, there is no loss to him, after all, Ma Chao is Liu Bei's person. (To be continued.) )
