So, now Cao Ren and Lu Su have brought troops to Changsha, and Ma Chao doesn't know yet, so naturally there is no trace of them. Therefore, Ma Chao is a little worried. After all, whether it is Cao Ren, Guo Huai, or Lu Su or Zhang Liao, none of them are Yi Yu, who are famous in the Three Kingdoms era. Even Cao Ren's subordinates, Niu Jin, are all people who have left their names, and they are not unknown people.

But he also knew that it was useless to worry now. After all, it may not be bad if you don’t know the other party’s situation. Of course, it’s good or bad. However, Ma Chao still hopes to know the other party’s whereabouts. And how to say it, he really doesn’t want to be a particularly bad result when he knows the other party’s whereabouts. If that is the case, it will be really regretful and unwilling to accept it.

Just when Ma Chao was not ready to think too much, he came to report: "Lord, Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army have entered the territory of Changsha County at this time!"

-----------------------------------------------------

When Ma Chao heard this, he thought to himself? What did Cao Ren and Lu Su want to do? Do you really want to snatch food from your own mouth? Can you snatch a piece of meat from your own mouth? If that wasn't the case, then what would they do? Will it be possible to surround Wei and save Zhao? It's not that he looked down on them, but this fact is really there.

Ma Chao asked the soldiers to find Guo Jia. He had asked Guo Jia before. Where did the Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army go? However, Guo Jia didn't say anything directly. He just said that the lord would know in two days. Ma Chao didn't ask much about it. Now he already knew the general situation. Ma Chao thought that Guo Jia must have known it for a long time, but he just didn't say anything to him.

But I knew it today. At this time, I guess he wouldn't hide it. Is there anything I can't say? So Ma Chao asked the soldiers to come to Guo Jia. He thought that if he asked him at this time, Guo Jia would definitely tell him what he asked him. If it was a bit confusing before, it was no longer necessary now.

After a while, Guo Jia came. Seeing his lord's expression, he asked directly: "Does lord know the enemy's movement?"

-----------------------------------------------------

Ma Chao didn't say anything at this time, but looked at Guo Jia with a smile. Guo Jia just smiled at this. He had already thought of the result of the matter from his lord's expression, so Guo Jia was sure to have a clear understanding.

At this time, Ma Chao told Guo Jia what he had said before, "Fengxiao, now the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army have all gone to Changsha. It seems that this is about to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth!"

Ma Chao said while laughing. Although he spoke like this, his expression obviously did not think that the Yanzhou army and the Jiangdong army could pose much threat to the defenders in Changsha. After all, they were siegeing the city. If in some counties, Ma Chao thought that it might not have time to defend or that there were not many people, it might be lost, but in most counties, Ma Chao thought it would not be lost.

He also admitted that Cao Ren and the others are indeed powerful, but are they just vegetarians? So it is true that the so-called "You have Zhang Liang's plan, I have a ladder" is that's it.

Therefore, although Ma Chao was worried, he believed that he could still deal with the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army.

-----------------------------------------------------

After Guo Jia heard his lord say this, he also observed his expression. At this time, he said: "Lord, actually Jia thinks that our army doesn't have to worry too much about Changsha!"

When Ma Chao heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and then asked, "So what is the meaning of filial piety?"

Guo Jia smiled at this time, "Although Jia also knew that Cao Zixiao and Lu Zijing were indeed good at it, but in Changsha, with General Han Sheng stationed, I think most county towns can still be saved. Even if the Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army have an opportunity, they will not gain any advantage in Linxiang City, which is guarded by General Han Sheng!

After hearing what Guo Jia said, Ma Chao nodded. In fact, he had almost the same idea. No matter what, because Huang Zhong is here in Changsha, there is basically no problem with Linxiang. Then Cao Renlusu and others want to take over the entire Changsha, although Ma Chao doesn't think that his side can be able to defend it, and this is not sure, if both of them don't pay any price, it will definitely be impossible.

-----------------------------------------------------

After all, Cao Ren, Guo Huai, Lu Su, Zhang Liao, and even Niu Jin are all very powerful, but Huang Zhong is not a vegetarian. Speaking of which, they are not as old as Huang Zhong, it can be said that their experience is not as rich as him. After all, Huang Zhong is so many years older than them, so it is definitely not a joke.

"I understand what you said in Fengxiao. In fact, just because of Cao Zixiao, the Yanzhou army and Lu Zijing, the Jiangdong army, they will not be Han Sheng's opponents. Haha, now I want to see how much fire the Yanzhou army and Jiangdong army can play in Changsha!"

It’s not that Ma Chao underestimated the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army. After so many days of fighting, there were indeed not many troops on both sides. Of course, there were not many Liangzhou Army, so Ma Chao also asked someone to go to Sili and Liangzhou to mobilize troops to reinforce Jingzhou. Otherwise, it would be impossible to break Jiangling.

Although Ma Chao would not belittle himself, he would not be arrogant. At least he is still clear about Jiangling's situation now.

-----------------------------------------------------

If we take these people on our side, he really doesn't think he can break Jiangling. Neither Liu Bei's Han army or Liu Qi's Jingzhou army, they are not good at it. In addition, there are generals defending the city like Huo Jun and all-around generals like Taishi Ci. To be honest, Ma Chao is really aware of the current situation.

Guo Jia only smiled at his lord's words, but he still asked: "I wonder if the lord will send troops tomorrow?"

Obviously, Guo Jia had seen it before that his lord seemed not to be planning to send troops for the time being, otherwise he would have sent troops here at this time? But this may not be necessary, after all, there are exceptions in everything. There is an accident.

However, Ma Chao said at this time: "Fengxiao, since I have sent troops to Jingzhou before, I will naturally not advance easily now. In this way, I think our army will be temporarily stationed under Jiangling City and stop moving!"

When Guo Jia heard this, he thought to himself that it was true that his side could only stop moving in Jiangling. Isn’t that? Even if he moved, just by his side, he would be defeated by others in the end. Needless to say, this is the case.

-----------------------------------------------------

After that, the two chatted for a few moments, and then Guo Jia sued. He also knew that his lord had told him everything he should say, so there would be nothing he had done about him.

Now that you don’t have to attack the city, you actually have a lot of things missing. This is actually pretty good for you. At least you can rest. As for what Liu Bei and the others think, this is not what they know.

On the second day after Ma Chao arrived in Liangzhou, Liu Bei found that the Liangzhou army had not come to attack the city at all, and did not attack tentatively. He knew it when he thought about it. It seemed that Ma Chao had temporarily let their Liangzhou army rest. But the Liangzhou army was not moving, and the Yanzhou army and the Jiangdong army were gone, which made Liu Bei think a lot.

After all, even Ma Chao only knew the specific situation yesterday, so don’t expect Liu Bei to know what he is now. He just knew that the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army were gone. As for where they were and what they were doing, he didn’t know, but he didn’t ask anyone else.

-----------------------------------------------------

It’s not that he wouldn’t value the reinforcements from both sides. Liu Bei really knew very well. If he had really counted on them, he would have been destroyed by the Liangzhou army several times, right?

So Liu Bei, who knew this well, did not expect too many Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army. But he also knew that at least now they are reinforcements, so they must still help him. That is enough. As long as he still has the strength to compete with Ma Chao Liangzhou Army, they will definitely stand on their side, and he understands this.

So since that's the case, it's enough. As for the others, Liu Bei really didn't expect it. At least he had to let Cao Ren and Lu Su and others not care about the losses of their two sides and fight against the Liangzhou army. At least, Liu Bei felt that if he was them, he wouldn't do this. So he put his heart in his favor, and he didn't expect Cao Ren and others much.

Anyway, as long as they can help themselves, it is better than anything else. As long as they don’t do the things that hurt the wrong thing, it’s really good.

-----------------------------------------------------

Liu Bei did not summon everyone to Ma Chao's army. After all, as the lord, he could not have found all his subordinates in everything, so there was no need. However, he asked the soldiers to call Xu Shu and Liu Ba. For Liu Bei, it was indeed enough to have them.

After a while, the two of them entered the house together. After sitting down, Liu Bei said to the two: "I have to talk to you two about it!"

After hearing this, Xu Shu asked, "I don't know what the lord said?"

Liu Bei said: "The first is that Ma Mengqi is not moving. I wonder what the two think? As for the second, the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army have disappeared for several days. I wonder where they think they are at this time?"

When Xu Shu and Liu Ba looked at each other when they heard his lord's two lords ask.

-----------------------------------------------------

In their opinion, what their lord asked was actually what they thought about before. Even if their lord didn't ask, they would still find an opportunity to tell their lord. But now their lord has asked. Then of course they should have a good talk.

Xu Shu said, "Lord, the Liangzhou army is still holding its troops now. According to the subordinates, it is Ma Chao who has gone to mobilize the troops!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he asked, "How can Yuan Zhi say this?"

"Master, please think. Ma Mengqi used to be like this? No, but now he attacked Jiangling, he rested on the first day. Doesn't this explain the problem? And if Ma Chao does this, unless there is a big problem within their Liangzhou army, then it is our only reason!"

Xu Shu didn't say anything after that. He knew that his lord understood, so would he still have to say more by himself?

Sure enough, Liu Bei said, "Then Yuan Zhi means that Ma Mengqi is now very familiar with the situation of our army Jiangling City, so he knows that with their current troops, we can't do anything to our army, so..."

-----------------------------------------------------

At this time, Xu Shu and Liu Ba nodded. Isn’t that the case? Speaking of which, it is actually like this. They also think so. It seems that their lord can be regarded as a one-point understanding.

"Yes, lord, this is the case with subordinates. And now there is only one situation, which makes sense. I think Zichu also thinks like this?"

Sure enough, Liu Bei also asked Liu Ba. Of course, he had the same idea as Xu Shu. Such a thing is "a hero's opinion is similar", that's it.

At this time, Liu Bei asked again: "Then Yuan Zhi hasn't said yet, where is the Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army now? They have left Jingzhou, are they?"

Of course, this was just Liu Bei said casually, and he obviously didn't think so in his heart. But he definitely didn't want it, so...

-----------------------------------------------------

Xu Shu smiled and said to his lord: "Master, why not let Zichu talk about this!"

Liu Bei nodded, "Zi Chu, please tell me!"

"No! Lord, my subordinates view this matter so. Today's Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army, Cao Zixiao and Lu Zijing, all know that they are not opponents of the Liangzhou Army. Therefore, my subordinates dare not blatantly fight against the Liangzhou Army head-on, so they took a different approach!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he became interested, "What Zichu said, "What does this 'find a different approach' mean?"

Liu Ba smiled and said, "Lord, I have to come to see you. At this moment, the Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army should have gone to Changsha!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he thought to himself. If he really went there, it would be a different way. But what effective threat can they really pose to the Liangzhou army? Don’t "steal chickens but lose rice". If that is the case, it will be a joke, right?

-----------------------------------------------------

"It makes sense to hear Zichu say this. If Cao Ren and Lu Su really thought that way, wouldn't they go to Changsha now? But I know this. Huang Zhong, the chief general of Changsha, is not a general. Although he is 60 years old, he is definitely a great general who Ma Mengqi values ​​very much! Not only is he superb martial arts, but he is also very smart. It seems that the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army may not necessarily gain a big advantage!"

Hearing his lord say this, Xu Shu smiled and said, "Who said it's not? My lord, my subordinates don't think Cao Ren and the others have taken any good chess. But when you think about it carefully, it seems that they will not go anywhere except Changsha. I think our army will return soon, and everything will be known by then!"

Liu Bei nodded. Even if he agreed with Xu Shu and Liu Ba's words, this was not false at all. However, the information about the horse exploration has not yet been reported, so everything is just speculation, just guessing. So he can confirm this only after hearing the horse exploration report.

-----------------------------------------------------

Otherwise, he wouldn't be sure. After all, what Ma Chao likes to say is quite right, saying "Everything is possible". When he doesn't know the specific situation, he is guessing everything he does. If he can't be sure, he is guessing.
