After that, Ma Chao simply said a few words, but didn't say much because he felt it was unnecessary. At least today, they all knew what he meant, and what he wanted to say, they actually didn't understand before they even tried it. And looking at them like that, I can't say much. Although the previous performance, overall, can't be said to be the best, it can be considered okay. I know this in my heart, but compared with their best situation, then Naturally, there is still room for improvement. This is definitely the case, yes. Therefore, Ma Chao¡¯s meaning is also very obvious. He wants them to show their highest level. Now even if our side cannot win in the end, we still have to show our own style. This is definitely the case. Of course, Ma Chao cannot say that. It would be interesting to say that our side cannot win. Even if he didn't say it to all the soldiers, the final result So what should be said, and what should not be said, he is always the same. I know in my heart that this is absolutely correct. Afterwards, Ma Chao waved his hand and told them all to go down and rest. They were tired from fighting today, and he was tired, let alone them. This was understandable, indeed. Seeing everyone leaving, he also sighed. He actually didn't want to fight with the Yanzhou Army in Jizhou. After all, this place had his own territory, but Cao Cao didn't give him any chance. At least this was not between him and his side. The one we can choose is Cao Cao, and this is also the plan of their Yanzhou Army, so they say that they have led troops to Jizhou. Now it seems that they cannot win against Yanzhou Army. After that, they will have to retreat in defeat. There is nothing to say, that's it. . For Ma Chao, that's it. Failure is not a big deal, at least he can keep Changshan and Zhongshan. For him, this is actually enough. Really, it has always been, this is Ma Chao's minimum requirement. Like Cao Cao, his minimum requirement is to occupy the two counties (countries) of the Liangzhou Army. Now it just so happens that Anping and Julu are both in the hands of the Yanzhou Army. This is true. So it has always been true that Cao Cao achieved his goal. But again, if Ma Chao said that he would retreat at this time, he would still continue to advance. Therefore, Ma Chao knew that he could not move. He could only fight with the Yanzhou army until the last moment. In that case, he would Done. But that's not impossible. After all, that's what it means to bring an army here. This is not bad at all. And Cao Cao did think that he was not like that, no matter how many Jizhou there were, but obviously, that was impossible. Ma Chao had no one, so he had to find a way to mobilize some people. Isn't this the case now? It can be regarded as someone who has been mobilized with great effort. He only had 150,000 people. Cao Cao knew it, and he also knew that at that time Ma Chao must have felt that 150,000 troops were enough, at least at that time his own side only had that many troops, but he did not expect that he would add 50,000 troops later, which disrupted his deployment, indeed. After all, the Liangzhou Army does not have as many troops as his own. It is missing tens of thousands of people. This is not a small number. Indeed, even he himself thinks it is a lot. It is not a small number, really. After all, our side has less than 200,000, and the other side has less than 150,000, so this is a gap, it has been from the beginning, just a few days ago. Cao Cao also knew about this. Ma Chao knew it all along, and he knew it better. There is no need to say more about this. Now Cao Cao's idea is to defeat the Liangzhou army as soon as possible, so that his side can return home. As for Chang Shan and Zhongshan, at least at this time, he really has no ideas for the time being. Because Cao Cao has long known what Ma Chao is thinking, so if he wants to seize it, even if it is a county (country), he basically doesn't want to think about it, really. But how to put it, this is true. Looking at it now, it is our own side that wins in the end, and the Liangzhou Army loses. Cao Cao is still very confident in this. This is correct. It is impossible without confidence. After three consecutive days of fighting, it was still no different from the previous two days. The Liangzhou Army still suffered more casualties than the Yanzhou Army. Ma Chao had actually thought of this, but indeed, he didn't want it to be like this. He didn't want his side to retreat so early. , this is definitely the case. For him, this is definitely one of the more frustrating battles in his life, especially since he can't do anything about it. This is reallyif this continues, he won't be able to support him for a few more days, so he has to retreat. , so he said that he had no hope at all. If he could support it, then that would be great, but he was afraid that this was not very possible, so Ma Chao also thought a lot about it, but the result would not change. The outcome won't change based on what he thinks, that's for sure. On the other hand, Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army is the opposite of Ma Chao's Liangzhou Army. It must be true. As long as it is not good for the Liangzhou Army, it can actually be said to be good for Cao Cao and the Yanzhou Army. This is true. Of course, the same thing is said, and conversely, it is actually correct. If it is not good for the Yanzhou Army, then it is also good for the Liangzhou Army.?That's it, they are the same as each other, that's it, there are no exceptions or differences. But now it is the former. No matter how bad it is for the Liangzhou Army, it is good for the Yanzhou Army. But now, isn't it? It's still not good for the Liangzhou Army, but good for the Yanzhou Army. This has always been the case. Ma Chao could tell that his side could not support him for a few more days. The key was that the more the battle went on, the fewer men and horses were left. In the end, they would basically be gone. However, Yanzhou¡¯s army was more numerous than his own. This He had no choice but to fight the Yanzhou Army. Even though he knew the final result, he could do nothing but wait for his side to run out of troops before retreating. But at this time, that is indeed not enough, this is definitely, yes. Now Ma Chao wants to retreat, but he can't. There are still many troops in Yanzhou, and of course there are also troops on his own side. There is no problem in continuing to fight with the opponent. Yes, there have been a lot of losses in the past few days, this is true, but the entire army of 150,000 was wiped out in just a few days, so the two armies can't say that. If that is really going to happen, how big of a battle will it take to finally achieve that? If it's more than 300,000, it's not that much. It has to be three times more. It's almost a million people. But there are only a few battles involving millions of people in history. Ma Chao doesn't know much about it. Anyway, from what he knows, it's not modern. In ancient terms, it was the original Battle of Changping. The battle is over a million, yes, it is a battle, this word is very important. So don't think about the million. Now, although Ma Chao also knows that both his own side and the Yanzhou Army actually have more than one million troops, but if you want both sides to fight a million-dollar battle, there will be no battle. Really. So if we say that the current amount is more than 300,000, it is actually quite a lot, which is not bad at all. But even though there are many people and horses, it is simply impossible to lose 150,000 yuan to one side in four or five days. Calculating based on the battle losses, the Liangzhou Army would lose 30,000 troops every day? Is it possible? The two armies combined may not have it, so if we talk about one side, it is impossible. There are not enough people and horses, not that many. This is really good. If there are more than 300,000 people in the two armies now, and if one side can lose more than 30,000 people in one day's battle, then it can be said that this war is definitely extremely tragic. Don't think too much about it, just watch the battle You will know the loss, it is really good, indeed. This battle can have such a result, that's really true, you will know what it will be like when you think about it, indeed. After all, one side lost more than 30,000 yuan per game, not 3,000 yuan, so this result is really true. He has never encountered Ma Chao before. Of course, for Cao Cao, it is actually the same, it¡¯s nothing. The difference is, if we really meet each other, if we say that the other party is fine but we are like that, then it is definitely not a good thing. So if that's not the case, it's actually quite good, indeed. Now, at least for Cao Cao, this is actually pretty good, that's right. For Ma Chao, it is at least better than losing more than 30,000 yuan in one day. This is definitely true. After all, the losses are less now, that¡¯s true. So this must be better now. He doesn't want his side to lose too much. This must be the case. The same is true for Cao Cao. It's true. In the current situation, the Liangzhou Army has lost some men and horses, but far from that many. Otherwise, Ma Chao must have left early, really. But it's not like that, so of course it's not like that yet. At least it shows that the Liangzhou Army still has people who can fight with the Yanzhou Army. Of course, they don't have as many people. This is absolutely true. , always has been. He still forced his troops to fight with the Yanzhou Army. For Ma Chao and the Liangzhou Army, although they only fought for five days, to be honest, these five days were definitely a very aggrieved period for them. The battle is absolutely correct, but they can't do anything. They are still doing whatever they should. They are really helpless. They are helpless to the Yanzhou Army, really. Now Ma Chao also knows that his side will not be able to support him for a few days. This is normal. And when the time comes, our side will retreat and be defeated. Their Yanzhou Army will win, but there will be no men left who can occupy Changshan and Zhongshan on their side. This can be considered relieved, indeed. In fact, Cao Cao thought the same way. He knew that his side was going to win. In five days, there should be results. Don't think that five days is a long time. In fact, it went by in a flash. It was really fast. Indeed, it is not that Cao Cao has not waited for this longer than this time. It is only five days, so what is it? Really. For Cao Cao, as long as his side can defeat the Liangzhou Army, let alone five days, even if it is fifteen days, even if it is fifty days, he can afford to wait, because his side really needs such a victory. And I have to say that after becoming the king, I also need such a victory even more, and IWhen we arrived in Jizhou, the base camp was moved here. Taking Anping and Julu and turning them into our own territory can be said to be of great benefit to our side. No matter how you look at it, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. That's absolutely true. . After Jizhou occupied two places, its power here suddenly surpassed that of the Liangzhou Army. For our own side, no matter what, it is good. This must be stronger than the other side. Isn't that good? He has always been determined to win those two counties (countries). Otherwise, the most fundamental thing is that Cao Cao would not have added 50,000 troops before. This is enough to explain his attitude. Ma Chao knew all about this, indeed. Without those 50,000 men, Ma Chao felt that at least his side could not lose, but with those 50,000 more men, the difference would be huge. Didn¡¯t he know this? It¡¯s not false at all, it¡¯s absolutely true, it¡¯s true. . For him, the addition of the 50,000 troops to the Yanzhou Army can be said to have directly turned the situation here in Jizhou around, really. Before there were 50,000 troops, Ma Chao still had some confidence that he could force the Yanzhou Army back. But with the extra 50,000 troops, he didn't have much confidence at first. Later, he even thought about his own defeat. Now, looking at it, there is really no hope. If his own side is going to be defeated, there is nothing to say. It's not that he can't accept it. Ma Chao knows the so-called "victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists", and it really doesn't matter. But it has to be said that once our own side is defeated, the largest force in Jizhou after this can only be the Yanzhou Army, not our own side, that's it. And when our side will capture Jizhou with their Yanzhou Army, we will not have any advantage at that time, unless there is some big accident, but is such a thing possible? Anyway, from Ma Chao's point of view, it is impossible. Really, if we can still take advantage of it in Jizhou, we can only take back a few counties (countries) in the war. After all, today's Jizhou is the base camp of the Yanzhou Army. Ma Chao can be said to be very clear about what this concept is to them. A base camp can be said to have the largest number of troops. In fact, it is not an exaggeration. At least if it is not ranked first, it must be second. This is definitely the case. Let¡¯s not talk about anything else, let¡¯s talk about Sili on the territory of Ma Chao¡¯s Liangzhou Army. Sili can be said to be the headquarters of the Liangzhou Army, which is absolutely correct. And the people and horses in that place, after all, have caused Ma Chao to lose a lot before. Young master, now he has taken away another 150,000 people. It is definitely not the largest number now. This is inevitable, but it is true that the people in that place, even if Ma Chao took away 150,000 people, they are still the most powerful ones in the Liangzhou Army. Among the best, the first one cannot be ranked, the second one is not good either, but the third one, that is no problem, this is true.
