Chapter 20 Liangzhou Army Attacks Zhongju (19)
If the captured soldiers are not much, there are only third-rate generals, and there are still those who are not as good as those who are killed in battle. Except for those who are killed in battle, they basically surrender to other princes. Of course, there are also very loyal people, but there are not many, and they will be cracked. Indeed, it is possible to be released back? You must know that those are loyal, so there are many loyal enemies, which is definitely not a good thing. Really, so they cannot live, just. But the Liangzhou army is a little better.
Everyone knows that our side is rich and powerful. With our side's pension system, we can say that we get more money and food than Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army. That's really true. So some of them are, just die if they want to die. If they die, they may get more, but if they surrender to the enemy, they will really not get anything. So the Liangzhou Army is like that.
More. They can't actually say they are loyal, they just think about how their family can get more benefits. That's it. There are no people who are not afraid of death, but only when they are not afraid of death. This is still very reasonable. If you say that those captured by Liangzhou Army must be greedy for life and fear of death, so even if they know the pension system, they still surrender.
There are also those who are not afraid of death, but they were not afraid of death at that time, so they were caught and their families got more money and food. So it depends on how you choose, indeed. After all, you choose to be loyal, and Ma Chao must have expressed it in the end, because the Liangzhou Army and the others lack the least is money and food. He was eager to do it like that. Cao Cao and Sun Ce also wanted to do this, but they also had to have so much money and food. This is the fundamental, yes. If they had it, it would not be worse than the Liangzhou Army.
What, really. At that time, it might be the real three-pointer in the world, really, average. Now, it is indeed true that the world is three-pointer, but it is definitely not the average. I won’t say much about the strength, even a force is not the average, that’s right. In fact, this is the same. If the strength is average, then basically the power will be average in the end, which is normal.
But on the contrary, it would definitely not be certain, really. Yes, as for now, the strength of the Yanzhou Army is even greater than that of the Liangzhou Army, but their strength is not greater, which is also good. Rather than that, in Cao Cao's opinion, it would be better to say that our own strength exceeds the Liangzhou Army. In that case, it would be only a matter of time before the power surpasses the other side.
This is, as long as you say that you have strength, then the power is greater, it is only a matter of time. It is true. But now, the Liangzhou Army is the first and the strongest in the world. If the power exceeds the Yanzhou Army, you will exceed the Jiaozhou counties. The problem of several counties is really nothing. The Liangzhou Army occupies two or three counties, then everything is OK, yes. So in terms of power, the Liangzhou Army surpasses the Yanzhou Army, that is just a matter of time. And Ma Chao brings with him
After the Liangzhou army occupied several counties in Jiaozhou, it was not impossible for the Yanzhou army to surpass the Liangzhou army, but it would be difficult to surpass it. That is, it is said that they surpassed the Liangzhou army now, and this was only surpassed after strenuous efforts. Otherwise, it would not be that easy, really. So even if it was the power, the Yanzhou army would not be that way to surpass the Liangzhou army.
It's simple and easy. Yes, but now they have surpassed their power, but it won't be too long, and they will be caught up by the Liangzhou army and surpassed them again. That's it! Just think about it, after all, the Yanzhou army has not yet mentioned attacking the Liangzhou army's territory, but the Liangzhou army has taken action and went to Jiaozhou. The Yanzhou army also wants to attack the Liangzhou army's territory, but they are not ready yet and are still preparing. Cao Cao's meaning, if all the things are done, he will naturally lead his own troops.
It must be. Cao Cao didn't want to give up such a good opportunity because he knew that when he advanced, Ma Chao would never return, so he had a high chance of winning the target. So Cao Cao always thought that this was an opportunity, that's right. He must also have to seize it, but at this time, the Yanzhou army had not been well prepared and was not ready. The last time he lost 100,000 troops and had not been able to take down his city. That's it. If the Liangzhou army had not lost so much, he didn't lose so much.
Our side has suffered a lot of losses, and they have saved their county, that's it. So now, if you ask Cao Cao to attack with 100,000 yuan, this is not impossible, but Cao Cao won't do that right now. Even if Ma Chao has brought his troops to Jiaozhou, even if his side attacks, unless it is a special situation, they will not come back. But even that, Cao Cao didn't say it.
As soon as Ma Chao led his troops away, he led his troops to attack. Although he thought so, he had to do that. Are you all ready now? He was not sure and did not handle some things well, and his troops were not even added. But obviously, he didn't think about waiting for his side to supplement the last lost troops before they attacked. That was indeed, it was almost the same.
In fact, Ma Chao didn't say he didn't think about those things, but he really had no good idea. At least he couldn't say that he would change his mind. Unless he said that he would not attack Jiaozhou now, he would lead his troops to attack Cao Cao's territory. Only that would be like that, saying that Cao Cao could not take Yanzhou army to attack Liangzhou army territory now, but that Ma Chao wouldn't do that, that's true. Even if he didn't value Jiaozhou so much, it was the same. He had come, so it was definitely not five.
If there are any counties, Ma Chao's army will not retreat, so it must be. The five counties naturally ruled out the five counties in Jiaozhou after Jiuzhen and Rinan. Indeed, for Ma Chao and Liangzhou army, occupying those five counties is not a difficult problem, not to mention the time issue. To put it bluntly, it will definitely be captured, but they just don't know how long it will take, so they can't confirm this. It's so short.
The day is, for example, more than three months, it's OK. That's definitely short. After all, there are five counties, that's it. But if it's long, it's the same. Maybe half a year, if that's the case, it may not be able to occupy five counties, which is really not necessarily true. But no matter what, Ma Chao and the Liangzhou Army must have tried their best, which is inevitable. For them, they must have the five Jiaozhou areas.
The county must be. Now it is just the first step of the Long March. Speaking of the current Liangzhou army has not occupied a county in Nanhai County, it is indeed blocked. Of course, it is not that it has been greatly hindered in just a few days, but that it is the attention of others. Not only did it change the chief general, but it also turned the 5,000 soldiers who were originally guarding the city into the current 10,000 troops. To say that the soldiers of Nanhai County now have 10,000 reinforcements sent by Sun Ce, which is his own unit. Then most of the others are Ling Tongfu.
There are other people in the son's army, but they are definitely incomparable to their father and son. So that's it. In addition to losing Sun Ce's army, the war will be more losses in the South China Sea. It's definitely Ling Tong and his son. That's right. So they feel sorry for them, but there's nothing they can do. Who made Ma Chao and Liangzhou Army target this place and they will take Jiaozhou.
There is really nothing to do, it's all helpless. But the two of them are also, they know to comfort themselves. At least the loss of their father and son's troops is true. But when Ma Chao takes the army to other counties, they will lose the divisions of other generals. Their losses will not be much less than that of their father and son. That's right, it's true. So for them, the losses are lost. Didn't it be that my lord has taken out 100,000 troops? That's his own division, all the divisions of generals in Jiaozhou are combined together.
It's only more than 100,000, which is incomparable to his lord. Indeed, if Sun Ce takes out 100,000 troops, his current division will not be less than 100,000, which is definitely the case. After all, he has an absolute advantage among all the generals and counselors of the Jiangdong Army. Speaking of which, the number of people is Zhou Yu at most. Now he has a division of 50,000, which can be said to be a lot. Really, 50,000 is definitely a lot. And the key is that Sun Ce does not restrict Zhou Yu, as long as he takes it out
There is enough money and food. No matter how many people there are, as long as Sun Ce thinks it does not exceed him, then there will be no problem. For Zhou Yu, he naturally thinks it is good. No matter how many of his own troops, it is impossible to say that it exceeds his lord. And every time he goes to war, he also carries his own troops, and in the end he will lose, that's the same. For others, as long as Sun Ce
The generals and strategists I brought with me, but they must go a lot, which is inevitable. After all, my lord took you there, which is actually the same. You have to take your troops to fight, which is definitely the case. But this is pretty good. At least Sun Ce said he would take you and no one had any objection. He took his soldiers to fight with him, that's right.
For most people in the Jiangdong Army, they prefer to go to war, rather than to say that they have more troops. Of course, it would be better to have more troops, and then go to war again. Not to mention most people, it would be better to be able to fight in comparison. This is. In terms of troops, the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army are not like that, and the combat power is still so strong. No matter how many troops you have, how many can you have? Can you have more troops than the Liangzhou Army? It would be great if that was the case, but it was obviously impossible.
Yes. But still, they didn't give up anything. Now they have been recruiting troops and increasing their strength. That's not bad. And they think it's better. If they increase their strength, it's better than losing their strength. This must be. So they think it's all good. Now Ma Chao took the Liangzhou army to Jiaozhou. His lord sent reinforcements, but he just took it out.
I have to say that Sun Ce did this and it also attracted people's hearts. At least in the hearts of most generals and strategists, they thought that their lord did this, which was really good. It was also because the divisions of those people did this. If there were fewer, the casualties would be his own. So they all agreed with Sun Ce's actions and thought they were good, that's right.
In fact, Sun Ce also knew the ideas of his subordinates. He didn't even want to go to Jiaozhou, and they didn't want to go. This is the fundamental reason. He and everyone on his side looked down on that place, so there was nothing he could do. Speaking of which, even if he had no Jiaozhou, it would not have a greater impact on his side. Of course, there must be an impact, that's right. So he sent his own 100,000 divisions, and he sent him out, and he didn't think about letting them come back. It sounded like he was dying.
That's true. He didn't mean to let his troops be cannon fodder. In Sun Ce's opinion, if he didn't send reinforcements, wouldn't he wait for Jiaozhou to be lost? Indeed, he would rather send 100,000 troops, all of his troops, than to make them live a better life. It would be so easy to take down his own counties and make them lose more. That's it. Zhongsucheng, the two armies today performed
All, Ling Tong was relieved to retreat at this time. Ma Chao returned to the camp to make a summary. He said that his side performed well today and continued to work hard, he would definitely be like this. Every time he performed well, he would say so, and that was indeed the case. Ma Chao felt that no matter how much he said, it would be better to come up with something practical, such as giving them rewards, remember this. Even if his soldiers died
On the battlefield, they will not be given any rewards they should give after they go back, and they will also be given pensions. For the soldiers who fell into battle, indefinitely, Ma Chao will never lack them, but he basically won't talk about this matter personally, just let the soldiers pass military orders and say it. Every time the military orders go on, except for the advance and the truce, Ma Chao said he would reward the soldiers. However, except for the food, the other money and food were given to them after the war. If they were killed, he
Our family can also receive rewards and have certain pensions. In this case, the soldiers of Liangzhou Army may not work hard? If we talk about the soldiers of this era, they only need to eat. Therefore, they pay great attention to the rewards of money and food for them. Maybe in some places, not all, but sometimes, some people will be greedy for the Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army.
