Chapter 65 Liangzhou Army Occupies Quanling
His martial arts are not as good as Cui An, and his main force has entered the city. Now his own situation is over, and he is even more incapable of turning the tide. Therefore, Wen Chou knows that if he doesn't leave at this time, he will wait for him even more! For him, his carelessness and mistakes are naturally apologizing like his lord. Now he should quickly escape with the remaining soldiers. Even if it is for his own side, it is very necessary to reserve some troops for his own side.
Therefore, Wen Chou quickly greeted Huo Jun, and then stepped back, but Cui An did not chase him, because his lord clearly stated that he could not chase the enemy. Therefore, even if Cui An wanted to chase him, he could not do that.
Therefore, Cui An could only hold his breath and slaughter the Han soldiers to vent the anger in his heart.
Huo Jun had known for a long time that Wen Chou should call for retreat, but as a result, he did not forget to shout for retreat to his soldiers. For him, he had to take away as many brothers who had been through life and death with him as possible.
However, as the Liangzhou army entered the city more and more people, it can be said that the Han army suffered more and more casualties.
-----------------------------------------------------
Huo Jun still didn't know that his side could indeed deal with the Liangzhou army for a few days with the city. But now, the city that he relies on the most is gone. Without this support, his side is no match for the Liangzhou army. Therefore, when Wen Chou shouted to retreat, Huo Jun also shouted.
Although he was not willing to give up tonight, he finally thought that all the responsibilities for failure must be his slap. I guess it would be difficult for him to defend the city with him in the future.
However, Huo Jun did think this was a bit miserable. At least the difference between his own combat power and his other party was indeed quite large. If it weren't for this, Wen Chou wouldn't have retreated immediately. Speaking of which, this is the main reason. If his own combat power is stronger than their Liangzhou army, then he really wouldn't have been like this.
In the end, even if you lose again, your side will not suffer such heavy losses. But now, it would be good to lose less.
-----------------------------------------------------
Therefore, Huo Jun followed Wen Chou and fled under Cui An's nose with his remaining soldiers. Because Cui An remembered that his lord would not allow him to pursue him, he did not do that.
Ma Chao is not afraid of Wen Chou or Huo Jun. It’s not that he looks down on these two people and underestimates them. The main reason is that Ma Chao is very clear. Speaking of martial arts, Wen Chou is indeed very good. Huo Jun is even a general defending the city. He admits this himself, and it is the fact.
But I would not look up to the two of them so much because of these two. After all, for Ma Chao, this is really, the mind is more important, but obviously, the two of them can't do it.
What he was most worried about was Xu Shu. Ma Chao didn't think Xu Shu was not prepared, even if he ran away in a hurry. But Ma Chao believed that as long as he let Cui An and the others chase him, the consequences would definitely be unimaginable. Therefore, Ma Chao did not ask someone to chase the Han army. It would be better to let it go.
-----------------------------------------------------
Wen Chou and Huo Jun led their troops to run away. At this time, Ma Dai and his team came to Cui An. Cui An said to Ma Dai: "All ran away!"
When Ma Dai heard this, he felt very regretful and said directly: "Damn it, I'm still one step late!"
Cui An didn't say much about this. In fact, how do you say it? Even if Ma Dai came early, he might not be able to be Wen Chou or Huo Jun. But one thing is certain, that is, Ma Dai and the Han army celebrated the holiday, especially his resentment towards Huo Jun. Even Cui An knew about this, but he didn't talk much.
After that, the soldiers cleaned the battlefield, and Ma Chao had already entered the city. He came to Chen Ju and said to him: "It's thanks to General Chen that our army can take down Quanling!"
Chen was so busy that he didn't dare. He knew that even if he had any of his contributions, would he still dare to do this and that in front of Ma Chao? Speaking of which, it would be enough that he could get what he wanted in the end, and the rest was not that important.
-----------------------------------------------------
How to say, why did Chen take such a big risk and come to Ma Chao to make a city out of his mind. It was his idea. Because in his opinion, the Han army will eventually be destroyed by Ma Chao Liangzhou army, so instead of doing that, he might as well fight. As the saying goes, "wealth and honor are sought in danger". If you don't take some risks, how can you get a higher reward?
Therefore, Chen made up his mind to help Ma Chao seize Quanling, and his request was very simple, that is, to allow himself to live in Yizhou, and that Ma Chao could give him enough money and food, which was the top priority.
So after hearing Chen's conditions, Ma Chao knew that Chen was still a sensible person. Of course, he was not so greedy. He used this to threaten himself and asked for this and that. To be honest, it was not a problem. If that was all a problem, the Liangzhou army would have become poor. But now it is obviously not like that, and the Liangzhou army is still a very rich team.
-----------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao called everyone to the living room of the prefect's mansion, where he praised Chen for a lot of words. Of course, Ma Chao also knew what he wanted, so he said straight afterwards: "General Chen took my own letter and went to Chengdu to find Zhang Song, and he will definitely make arrangements for you!"
Ma Chao's words meant very simple. He asked Zhang Song to arrange for Chen. He must not be asked to do whatever he wants. In other words, Zhang Song, the governor of the state can pay more attention. After all, he is a person who has made great contributions to his own side. No matter what, the Liangzhou army has made contributions to his own side. He has basically never treated anything wrong.
So even though Chen is not going to be a general, he will be able to spend the second half of his life safely with the money and food given to him by Ma Chao. This is what Ma Chao thinks is the final outcome of Chen.
Ma Chao also knew that Chen was still self-aware. He knew in his heart that even if he used him, he would not reuse it. Therefore, it would be better to do this and go home and do something else. This is what Ma Chao thought.
-----------------------------------------------------
After hearing Ma Chao's words, Chen was happy. He knew that Ma Chao was just talking about it, so since he said that, he would definitely do it in the end.
Don’t you know yet? Ma Chao will never care about anything with him. If it weren’t for it, he would have made great contributions to the Liangzhou army. Even if it wasn’t, Ma Chao wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
And Chen hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, General, thank you!"
Ma Chao waved his hand with a smile. Afterwards, he praised everyone, and finally made a joke with everyone. He only heard him say, "Everyone thinks, if Cao Zixiao and Lu Zijing know what their current situation is, I wonder what their expression would be?"
After hearing what their lord said, everyone laughed. Indeed, they also knew that Cao Ren and Lu Su would know this sooner or later.
-----------------------------------------------------
After Ma Chao briefly summarized a few sentences, he asked everyone to go back and rest. He still had some things to say in the morning.
Wen Chou and Huo Jun led their troops away, and they were relieved to see that the Liangzhou army did not catch up. After all, they still didn't know the ability of the Liangzhou army. Later, they caught up with Xu Shu and others, and Wen Chou was very embarrassed to face everyone. But he still had to bite the bullet.
However, he was about to apologize, but was interrupted by Xu Shu. "Now we are going to Jiangling together. General Wen will tell his lord himself!"
After hearing this, Wen Chou nodded. He didn't know that if he hadn't been careless, if it were Huo Jun, there might not have been anything tonight. But these things cannot be changed, and he is helpless.
Everyone followed Xu Shu and went straight to Jiangling. Now there is really no other place to go except Jiangling. It would be Nanyang, but it was even further away, Nanjun, especially Jiangling, which was their first choice.
-----------------------------------------------------
And the most important thing is that Jiangling's various conditions also meet their standards, and their lord is still there, so Xu Shu and the others can only go to Jiangling, and no other place can do it.
In the Yanzhou Army camp, Cao Ren's central army tent, he just got up and heard the inquisition come to report, "Report to the general, Liangzhou Army occupied Quanling, and Liu Bei's army retreated!"
What? When Cao Ren heard this, he thought that he really came to whatever he didn't want. This was earlier than he expected. This...
Cao Ren cursed Liu Bei's army in his heart, and of course the Liangzhou army was also indispensable. But he also knew that he could not do anything other than complaining.
"How did this Quanling be lost?"
"Go back to General, that's because..."
-----------------------------------------------------
After hearing this, Cao Ren thought to himself, this is fate. Who would have known that Chen actually surrendered to the enemy and did things for Ma Chao. Wen Chou was even more careless, so he finally let the Liangzhou army take advantage of the loophole and succeed in the night attack. But really, Cao Ren didn't know how he should have said it.
A similar scene happened in the Jiangdong Army camp and in the central army tent of Lu Su. Almost at the same time, Lu Su and Zhang Liao also learned about the war in Quanling. After asking in detail, they were helpless in the end.
If the Quanling was destroyed by the Liangzhou army, it would have been a matter of time. But now it was earlier than I expected. It was really, and I don’t know how to say it was better.
However, their people have traitors and people who betray them. This is really true, and they may not have thought of it. Otherwise, Quanling would not have been like this.
In the end, Lu Su and Zhang Liao could only sigh, not knowing what they were thinking.
-----------------------------------------------------
Now even Quanling has been taken away by Ma Chao. As for the remaining counties, in his opinion, it should be "free and effort". At least in the Lingling realm, Ma Chao knew that there was no city that was more difficult to attack than Quanling. And now the main force of the Han army has run away. Therefore, there are still a few people who resist.
So the people sent by Ma Chao were frequently reported. In a few days, the entire Lingling County was all over the Ma Chao Liangzhou Army. This is really the case, now that Quanling has been lost, so there are still a few other Lingling counties who are fighting stubbornly and fighting to the death. Speaking of which, there are so few.
When the entire Lingling County was in Ma Chao's hands, he finally took his men and horses to Jiangling. He knew that it was time to go to Jiangling at this time.
Jingzhou is the largest city, the most powerful city, and it is also one of the best in the world. This has to make Ma Chao treat it more cautiously.
-----------------------------------------------------
After all, Jiangling is not just these. The people in his place have to make him more cautious. After all, Liu Qi's nearly 20,000 Jingzhou Army is in Lingling, this...
If Liu Qi's men were not there, then it wouldn't have put so much pressure on Ma Chao. But the fact is that their men have always been stationed in Jiangling. This is not a cabbage of 20,000, but nearly 20,000 people. Can Ma Chao not think about it much?
But no matter what, it would not change Ma Chao's idea, so he led his troops to Jiangling. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
