Chapter 47: Siege of Liangzhou, the city of Tang
Because he arrived at the destination in advance, Ma Chao was happy. For him, this soldier was powerful, so he could not be stingy. Originally, he was really not bad. Although it was impossible to eat meat every meal, but eating some occasionally was really nothing.
After Fei Yi heard the character who had his master handed over to him, he quickly agreed, "No!"
He all understood that this was his lord who gave him the opportunity to contact his soldiers. After all, he would definitely have to do this with his soldiers at that time. It would be impossible to kill sheep by himself. If he didn't say anything else, he wouldn't be afraid. He was afraid of the courage of a literati, in fact, it was not too young to talk about it. Similarly, Fei Yi was the same. Not to mention killing an animal, or killing someone, there was no problem.
After all, it is not a peaceful and prosperous era now, but it is a chaotic era. What is the most common in the chaotic era? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is dead. If you really catch up with a severe drought, you will be hungry all over the world and nine out of ten rooms are empty. This is definitely not an exaggeration, but a fact.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are not many people in troubled times who have never seen them. Even Liu Xie, who was the emperor, has seen them all, so let alone others. This has to be said that although Liu Xie is an emperor who listens to tragic, he knows the sufferings of the people better than ordinary emperors. At least he has seen a lot of people, but he doesn't think many emperors have seen nothing at all. He doesn't even know what food is. It has to be said that they are actually more tragic than Liu Xie.
"Okay, Wenwei, go and do your business, I'll have someone follow you!"
As he said that, he let one of his personal guards leave with Fei Yi. After all, Fei Yi was not a special person in charge of this food, so he asked him to take his soldiers to kill sheep. This would be a verbal order. Unless he found all the people in charge, otherwise everyone would not be able to listen to Fei Yi. After all, he was a newcomer and he did not give him any of his own orders. Then he had to let his personal guards follow him.
At least his personal guard is definitely not something that Fei Yi can command now, so no one will not believe him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Besides, no one really thinks that Fei Yi was going to pass the orders in fake way. However, before seeing his lord's personal order, some people were really cautious, afraid of causing trouble. After all, military discipline is unkind.
After they left, Ma Chao was a matter of trouble. After all, this made the soldiers tired for so long, and he was a lord. He should be rewarding them well, and he would attack the city tomorrow, so naturally it would be better to let the soldiers eat and drink enough, right?
And if this is the case, I think they will work hard to attack the city tomorrow. Maybe they will be able to take this Tangcheng in a few days.
Now the guardians of the Tang Dynasty are Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, which has to be said. Although it is a small town, Liu Bei does not despise it so much. Although the two of them have the ability to do so, in Liu Bei's Han Army, the defending city is definitely not in front, unless Huo Jun is like Huo Jun, the rest seems to be much different. This definitely doesn't need to be divided into top-notch, first-class, second-class, and third-class like martial arts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao had already known some of the information about Tangcheng at this time. Some of them were learned from their own exploration of Ma Xuezuo, and some of them were heard from Fei Yi. No matter which aspect it was, Ma Chao had learned a lot, and it was all very useful.
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao had already known that Ma Chao brought the army to Tangcheng. They had never thought so much, how could one day Ma Chao actually brought the army to come in person? Of course, they were really worried about this, because there were not many people in Tangcheng, and they had a lot of people, which was only more than 3,000. What was this little man in front of the 100,000 army?
Ma Chao led more than 80,000 troops, but he pretended to be 100,000. Of course, Zhou Cang and the others were not very clear about this. However, based on the experience of the two, the Liangzhou army did have nearly 100,000 troops. Because they already knew that Ma Chao had brought the troops, they were both on the top of Zuo Tang's city at this time, watching the Liangzhou army camping under the city.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zhou Cang said to Pei Yuanshao: "Old Pei, what do you think about Zuo Tang's situation?"
When Pei Yuanshao heard Zhou Cang's words, he looked helpless and ugly than crying. "Old Zhou, this, alas, stop talking about anything, you understand!"
Zhou Cang nodded. They didn't blame their lord for arranging it here for him, but speaking of it, they only brought more than 3,000 people with them. Can they be the opponent of the 100,000 army? I guess if it was Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao, they wouldn't be able to play in the end. Of course, I also believed that he would definitely be better than him, that is, he would hold on for a while. No matter how specific he was, he wouldn't know.
Zhou Cang is not stupid, and his mind is much faster than Pei Yuanshao, so he said at this time: "I said Lao Pei, although the lord has not given the order to come here, I think he will definitely ask for help. So our brothers also have to buy more time for the lord. Do you think this is the case?"
When Pei Yuanshao heard Zhou Cang's words, he nodded and said, "Yes, that's right! Old Zhou, you said it well, I think so too! If we can't stick to it for a few more days, we will be sorry to the lord!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zhou Cang knew that his brother was on his side, but it was up to him and his two men. No matter how you look at this, they couldn't hold on for a few days, two days? three days? or...
Who knows, if you can defend it anyway, you can't blame yourself if you can't defend it. Zhou Cang said so in his heart. He had no choice. This Tang Dynasty is not only small, but also small. Logically speaking, if he is Ma Chao, he may not pay much attention to it. But looking at the situation under the city, they absolutely do not despise it.
"Damn claws, let's go, Lao Pei, you're so frustrated to see, let's go!"
Pei Yuanshao heard Zhou Cang's words, so when he heard what he said, he followed Zhou Cang down the city and said, "Old Zhou, wait for me a while..."
If you can have such a conversation, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, who were born in the Yellow Turbans, it seems that the others will not be like this. However, those who really understand them are actually very familiar with their personalities and are very used to them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the same time, Ma Chao sent someone to pass on military orders to everyone. At the very hour tomorrow, the entire army will attack the city. After receiving the order from his lord, all of them are ready to fight and waiting for the war. Of course, they are mainly responsible for siege. As for the others, they are waiting for the city to break through and follow the army to enter.
The next day, at the time of Si, Ma Chao's order, Ma Dai rushed to Zuotang City with his own troops. The Liangzhou Army was still responsible for siegeing the city. After all, Ma Dai came to Jingzhou, so of course Ma Dai would not allow him. He was the main general who led his troops to attack the city. As for Meng Da, it was really a bit short of asking him to lead his troops to attack the city, and Ma Chao knew it.
Ma Dai was in a good mood. He hadn't personally led his troops to attack the city. After he finally captured Yundu City, he never led his troops to attack the city. Yes, there was no war for the time being. When his lord arrived, he restarted the war and had a place to use his skills again.
Ma Chao and Ma Dai have a good relationship. They are named as the Lord's subordinate, but they are actually cousins, so there is no need to mention the relationship.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the day Ma Chao led his troops to Yundu City, he specifically discussed Ma Dai and talked a lot with this brother. Ma Dai was counted as his clan brother and his uncle's son. In this group, there were only a few brothers left. Two of them were Ma Chao's younger brothers, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, and the last little sister was Ma Yuntu.
Later, Ma Chao also said specifically that when attacking Wuling, Ma Dai, as the main general of the attacking city, you will definitely be able to do your work. After listening to his brother and lord, Ma Dai kept nodding. At that time, he knew that he could finally take action again, otherwise, he would be so stubborn.
Although he is not like Cui An, and he doesn't kill people, his hands are itchy, but over time, it is indeed a problem. After all, Ma Dai is used to leading troops to attack the city. Without war, he has no meaning. In his opinion, only when he leads troops to attack the city can he be in a state. At other times, it is not very different to say that he is a walking corpse.
