Chapter 852: Meeting with an old friend in the city of Qichun(1/2)
At this time, Ma Chao laughed and said, "Don't worry, when Fuda shows off his skills in the future, don't worry, you won't run away, hahaha!"
After listening to his lord's words, Cui An naturally stopped saying more. Anyway, he had finished speaking, and Zhang Fei had also said a lot, so he stopped talking.
As for Zhang Fei, he was originally arrested by Cui An. Compared to Cui An, he actually didn't have that much intention. After all, he knew that it must be more than Cui An, so his lord's reaction was as expected.
So when he heard Ma Chao's words, he also smiled, "So, lord, Fuda and I will say goodbye first."
Ma Chao nodded. As for Cui An, when he heard Zhang Fei say this, he quickly said, "Ah, yes, lord, I'm leaving now!"
Ma Chao waved his hands at the two of them with a smile and said nothing, while Cui An and Zhang Fei retreated directly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao had Cui An and Zhang Fei come to find him, and Zhang Liao's side, he summoned a few people who came to Qichun with him to discuss tomorrow's war.
It was impossible for Zhang Liao to bring troops to Qichun alone. There were four people with him, namely the "Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Twen-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-Nine-Year-
But even so, it can be said that Zhang Liao still treats him very much. Although Sun Ce took away many generals to fight against Jingzhou, he also stayed in Jiangdong, but Zhang Liao brought a few of them, so it has to be said that Zhang Liao still valued these people very much.
At this time, Chen Wu said, "Master, our soldiers are cursing under the city. It seems that they have no effect on the Liangzhou army."
When Zhang Liao heard this, he smiled and shook his head, "Although there was no one in the Liangzhou army at this time, their morale was somewhat affected. I think you won't deny this. Haha!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After hearing the words of the head coach Zhang Liao, not only Chen Wu, but the others nodded. It must be admitted that the scolding must have played a certain role, otherwise it would be no different from futility. However, in Chen Wu's eyes, it did not play the role he expected. Because in his opinion, not to mention the number of people in Qichun City who have a little temper, I heard that Ma Mengqi brought all the likes of Cui An Cui Fuda and Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide this time. So...
He really hoped that they could fight, of course. Chen Wu never thought that just his two moves could be his opponent. In fact, let alone first-class martial arts, even second-class martial arts, he was not his opponent. However, everyone had discussed it before that his generals had already made complete preparations to ensure that the generals of the Liangzhou Army would be difficult to return. But, alas, it was a pity that they failed to succeed.
Zhang Liao glanced at the few people, and he noticed Chen Wu's expression. He smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. If the Liangzhou army members were so easily trapped, wouldn't it disappoint us too much?"
When Chen Wu heard this, he thought to himself that if the Liangzhou army did this, it would have really disappointed him. However, he really hoped that he could win soon, such as occupying Qichun earlier, although it seems almost impossible, or it is difficult to achieve this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seeing that a few people, especially Chen Wu, had settled down, Zhang Liao said to everyone again, "Everyone, let our soldiers curse in Qichun City for a day. Tomorrow, our army will attack the city with all their might, and there must be no mistakes!"
"No! Everything is subject to the commander's order!"
Zhang Liao looked at everyone and nodded slightly, "Chen Wu obeyed the order!"
"The last one will be here!"
"Tomorrow, you will lead our soldiers to attack Qichun with all your might, and there will be no mistakes!"
"No! The last general will do his best to repay the lord, our army, and the great commander!"
"Okay! Although the Liangzhou Army's combat power and number of troops are stronger than our army, our army is fearless. It doesn't matter whether we can take Qichun or not. What's important is that our army wants to drag Ma Mengqi Liangzhou Army to Jiangxia, do you understand?"
"Master, the last general understands it, everything depends on the last general!"
"Okay, please give it to the general!"
"This is the responsibility of the last person!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why did Zhang Liao ask Chen Wu to lead his troops to attack the city without letting others go? To be honest, Chen Wu's comprehensive strength is definitely the last among the four people, but Zhang Liao still asked him to lead his troops. This has to be said that it is because of Chen Wu's age.
He was the oldest in public, and he was almost aged, so his ability was indeed not as good as the other three. But it has to be said that his person has rich experience, many battles, and his experience in leading troops, whether it is siege and defending the city or fighting on the battlefield, can be said that his experience is definitely the leader of the four. Zhang Liao said that he values this.
For siege battles, a person's martial arts are basically not very useful. At least experience is much more useful than martial arts. Therefore, Zhang Liao brought Chen Wu to Qichun and asked him to lead his soldiers to attack the city first, which was to value his rich experience. Putting aside the generals taken away by Sun Ce. Chen Wu was definitely experienced in public before, although there were still more than him. However, there were still a few people in Jiangdong that had to be left behind in Jiangdong, so Zhang Liao finally chose to take Chen Wu.
Although Zhang Liao did not think that he had left after leading his troops, and the enemy came to invade Jiangdong, the so-called "prevention is indispensable". Such a left-behind and experienced general is more important than leading troops to fight with experienced generals. After all, there is no problem in the nest and the backyard cannot catch fire. Otherwise, it is impossible to take care of it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regarding Zhang Liao’s arrangements, whether it is Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, or Xu Sheng, they have no objections to this, and there is no surprise.
Although the three of them did not think that Chen Wu was better than him in many aspects, in terms of experience, the three of them had to admit that they were not as good as Chen Wu. So they had no objection to Zhang Liao's arrangements and the appointment of his head coach.
It can be said that the Jiangdong Army is pretty good. At least the military generals and military generals get along well. Of course, it can be said that when both the internal and external are relatively stable, there is indeed no big conflict, for example, now. There is nothing inside and outside. Moreover, the lord of Jiangdong, the "little overlord" Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, also led troops to fight against Jingzhou, so of course there is nothing in Jiangdong's civil and military affairs. What they thought was how to make contributions and how their lords would take Jingzhou as soon as possible.
If Jiangdong is now in trouble with internal and external troubles, then the contradictions must have been highlighted, and it will definitely not be like this now.
But it has to be said that when the contradictions did not appear, even Zhang Liao, a general who did not really worship Sun Ce as his lord, could be the head commander. Although it is necessary to be Zhang Liao personally led his troops to fight, it has to be said that Sun Ce also valued him and he also wanted to make Zhang Liao return as soon as possible. In addition, Zhang Liao had been in the Jiangdong Army for so long, and the generals of the Jiangdong Army slowly accepted him. Anyway, at least most people are friendly, and as for individuals, they always have to be a little different.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At least the four people brought to Qichun at this time, all of them were not hostile to Zhang Liao. After all, the few people knew a lot about Zhang Liao's abilities and admired him very much. It can be said that the few people belonged to that kind, and they should be said to be practical people. Of course, they admired people with good abilities. Even if Zhang Liao did not return home, the four of them knew it, but it did not hinder their interactions.
It would be a problem for Zhang Liao to bring them to the scene. At least he must not find four thorns. It would be impossible to find four people who look down on him and oppose him. Yes, Zhang Liao's identity in the Jiangdong Army was awkward, so he might even cause trouble for him. So although there were many people who wanted to come to Jiangxia with him, he offended a group of people and finally brought the four of them.
Speaking of this, we have to say that Sun Ce gave Zhang Liao a lot of power. Because except for him, he asked Zhang Liao to be the commander and lead troops to Jiangxia, the others were clearly stated, that is, they all belonged to him to make full decisions. So, in addition to bringing 50,000 soldiers, Zhang Liao brought Jiang Qin and the others with four others.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chen Wu expressed his determination, and after Zhang Liao glanced at everyone, he said to everyone: "Tomorrow, everyone else will watch the battle with me in the rear to see what the famous Liangzhou army is like!"
"promise!"
Everyone spoke in unison. Although there were only four people, the voice was definitely not small.
Zhang Liao was satisfied with the people, and at this time he said, "Okay, everyone, there is nothing to do, so let's go back first. I have had contact with Ma Mengqi, so today I can say a few words to him first. Tomorrow, we will be divided on the battlefield!"
"promise!"
After saying that, everyone said goodbye to Zhang Liao one after another, and then withdrew from the tent.
As for Zhang Liao, he revealed a trace of memories. For him, he naturally could not forget his life in Bingzhou. Even though he is in Jiangdong now, he is still in Sun Ce's position to serve the Jiangdong army. But to be honest, in Zhang Liao's heart, his lord is still only Lu Bu, and this has never changed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cui An and Zhang Fei said goodbye and left, but not long after, the soldiers came to report again.
Ma Chao looked and said, "What's the matter?"
"Report to the lord, someone outside the city claims to be Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan of Yanmen. He wants to see the lord!"
When Ma Chao heard this, he thought to himself that Zhang Liao had come to the city? He still wanted to see him? This...
After thinking about it for a moment, he understood that if Zhang Liao was Zhang Liao of the Jiangdong Army today, he would never have come to see him. But he made it clear to the soldiers. Zhang Liao from Yanmen, this would show the problem.
Ma Chao smiled, "Okay, tell him, just say I'll be there soon!"
"promise!"
After the soldiers left, Ma Chao smiled and said to himself, "Okay. I want to see you, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, Yanmen, what are you going to say to me today!"
To be honest, if Zhang Liao didn't see Ma Chao, Ma Chao would want to see him and say a few words to him. After all, although the two are not that familiar, they can be regarded as knowing each other. Moreover, it has been many years and twenty years since then, but now it has changed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao had tidied up his clothes and then left and headed straight to the city. This was his and Zhang Liao's affairs, so there was no need for anyone to take others with him. He also knew that Zhang Liao would never take others with him. After all, if he knew him, it would be fine to bring such a person. However, there were a few people in the Jiangdong army who had friendship with him, and it seemed that there were not many. As for his side, it was actually the same.
When Ma Chao arrived at the top of the city, he saw that it was Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao was not timid, so he rode one by one. Of course, he was not afraid of Ma Chao treating him, or he actually knew Ma Chao very well and would never do that despicable thing.
Zhang Liao also saw Ma Chao on the top of the city. Although there was a distance and it was not said that he could see clearly, with his familiarity with Ma Chao, he naturally could tell that it was Ma Chao himself.
After seeing the main owner appear on the top of the city, Zhang Liao quickly brought his horse forward and directly approached the Qichun city gate. It can be said that this range is already within the range of the bow and arrow, but Zhang Liao was not afraid, as if he had no worries.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this moment, Zhang Liao immediately bowed and said, "Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, Yanmen, have seen the general, but have not seen him for many years. How can the general be safe?"
When Ma Chao heard this, he laughed on the top of the city, "Wen Yuan, I don't know how many years have passed in a flash. I didn't expect that you and I will see each other again, but this is already happening!"
To be honest, although Ma Chao was laughing, he had to sigh. Because when he met Zhang Liao, he was still in Bingzhou. Zhang Liao was less than 20 years old at that time, and he was even younger and just over ten years old. At that time, Zhang Liao was a general under the jurisdiction of Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, and was regarded as a respected by Ding Yuan. However, he was just working in the Bingzhou Army, under Lu Bu and Zhang Yang.
After hearing Ma Chao's words, Zhang Liao had to sigh, right? What was he like at that time and what was he like at this time?
"I didn't expect that when I asked for a meeting with the general, the general came to the city so quickly!"
When Ma Chao heard this, he shouted to Zhang Liao under the city: "You are Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan of Yanmen, and I knew him back then. If you were Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan of Jiangdong Army, haha, I may not meet you today!!"
When Zhang Liao heard Ma Chao's words, he had to think a little more, but he also understood that Ma Chao said this on purpose, what is Zhang Liao of Yanmen rather than Zhang Liao of Jiangdong Army? That means that he has not really worshipped Sun Ce yet, so he is Zhang Liao of Yanmen, Zhang Wenyuan of Jiangdong Army, and Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan of Jiangdong Army.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zhang Liao still understood Ma Chao's thoughts at this time. But he didn't say it out loud. He really thought a lot about Ma Chao's words. At this time, he just smiled and said to Ma Chao, "At that time, I was not in Jiangdong, and the general was not the current general. Now I have changed things and people have changed. I have to sigh!"
Zhang Liao was indeed like this. At that time, his lord was almost killed by Ding Yuan. Ma Chao almost fell down. Of course, that was just Ding Jianyang's plan. Now, those people at that time, his lord, Zhang Yang, Zhang Zhishu, Ding Yuan, Ding Jianyang, and even Gao Shun, who had a good relationship with him, were no longer there, and only Ma Chao was still alive with him.
To be honest, if it weren't for Sun Ce's order, Zhang Liao really didn't want to be an enemy of Ma Chao. Of course, this does not mean that he was afraid of Ma Chao and Liangzhou Army. On the contrary, Zhang Liao was actually looking forward to these things. However, because of his acquaintances at the time, Ma Chao and himself were the only ones left, so Zhang Liao didn't want to be an enemy of Ma Chao, but there was no way. Now his lord's daughter and his lord's wife are all in Jiangdong, so even if he didn't worship Sun Ce, he had to obey him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao knew that he had to say something at this time, and it was just right at this moment.
So he heard him say, "Wenyuan, you and I have known each other for many years, but I really don't know why you have to surrender to Jiangdong and join Sun Bofu! You must know, Brother Fengxian..."
Ma Chao didn't say much about the following words. After all, everyone in the world knew that Sun Jian died at the hands of Lu Bu, and then Lu Bu died at the hands of Sun Jian's son, Sun Ce. So this matter is true. Lu Bu and the loss are quite serious. If Lu Bu had a son, it would probably be impossible to avenge his father when he was killed.
But now Lu Lingqi doesn't know how to do this. After all, Sun Ce is too kind to her, and now both of them are about to get married, so what else can she do? But it has to be said that Sun Ce is still very capable and can make Lu Lingqi marry him willingly. Of course, he has indeed paid a lot. After all, it may be an easy task to let Lu Lingqi marry her father-killing enemy?
As for Zhang Liao's case, he actually agreed with this matter. After all, Sun Ce was right to die, but his lord was determined to die, so he finally helped Sun Ce and made him take revenge. So the grudges of the previous generation have been understood, and the next generation should not have any burden. Zhang Liao is not an ordinary person, otherwise he would not have done anything under Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army's tent. It can be said that he knew that Lu Lingqi was going to marry Sun Ce, but he actually agreed with it.
After all, he knew in his heart that there were not many people in the world who could be worthy of his lady. And he was about the same age. Apart from Fufeng Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, he could only be the little overlord Sun Ce of Jiangdong. Ma Chao had already gotten married, so Sun Ce, who had not got married, was naturally the first choice. As for the others, Zhang Liao felt that it was no longer so important. As long as his lady and wife were willing, there would be no problem with anything.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Zhang Liao heard Ma Chao's words, he thought to himself, Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, you are very good at calculating and know how to provoke my relationship with Jiang Dongjun. But to be honest, your trick is too useless. You can only say it is general and has no use at all.
To be honest, Zhang Liao knew exactly what Ma Chao meant, but now he would never be sowed by such tricks. And he had to admit that those who followed him were all those who stood on his side in the Jiangdong army, so Ma Chao's sowage was of no use to them. At least Zhang Liao didn't think it was nothing, it was just futile.
To be continued...
