After all, the current situation is indeed not the same as it was at the beginning. The Yanzhou Army is in high spirits. Although they still donĄŻt have that much confidence, it is true that it is better than now. ItĄŻs not wrong at all. This is true. From the beginning At that time, when Cao Cao brought his army to Bingzhou, wasn't it like that? But it is indeed the same, so-called that time, this time, and at that time, Cao Cao and the Yanzhou Army were indeed very energetic, but now, that is indeed gone. DonĄŻt count on them too much, then It's really of no use. For them, the initial idea was that it was a good idea. That was great. They were all preparing to capture the counties and counties of Liangzhou Army. That must be the case. They all had that idea. Even if their confidence was not that full, that was It's true, it's absolutely true. At that time, it was not comparable to today, it is true. But now, they too, no longer think about winning the Liangzhou Army, repelling the opponent or occupying the opponent's counties. Now, except for Lu County and Huguan, they are blocked here. They will soon The Liangzhou Army's army is about to arrive, this is really Therefore, even Cao Cao, he is not thinking about how to win the Liangzhou Army, but not to lose so miserably, and to cause more casualties to the opponent, then Yes, itĄŻs absolutely true. As for talking about victory, there is basically no such thing. This After all, at this time, it is indeed not the same as before, and it is not false at all. ItĄŻs really different. ItĄŻs been different for a long time. ThatĄŻs right, itĄŻs changed a long time ago. At the beginning, the Yanzhou Army still had 100,000 troops, but now, there are only 100,000 left, less than 100,000 anyway. Indeed, it is becoming less and less. How can I not know it? Therefore, if the Liangzhou Army arrived a few days later, we might not have broken through the Hu Pass yet, but the number of men and horses would be even smaller than now. That would definitely be the case. So in fact, the Liangzhou Army would have to arrive a few days later. Come, then our side is really going to retreat. We are no match for others. We have so few troops. Unless we say that we can occupy Huguan, if that's the case, let's talk about it differently. But that's just a thought. After all, Cao Cao also knew that his side might not be able to break the Hu Pass in seven or eight days, let alone ten days. He knew this. No matter how I put it, it will probably take twelve or thirteen days at the earliest, so thatĄŻs about right. It's still a short period of time. If it's a long time, it's really not necessarily true, and I know it well. After all, there are 20,000 people in the pass. If they break the pass in ten days, they will lose 2,000 people every day. But looking at it now, at least not yet, he knows, it is true. Therefore, Cao Cao also knew what was good for him and how he could get greater benefits and get more benefits. As it stands now, when the Liangzhou Army arrives, our side will definitely not have the upper hand, and we will have fewer troops than them, but there is nothing we can do about it. You can mobilize troops, and so can others, but that doesn't mean much. This is not like the previous one in Jizhou, it is indeed different. But at this point, even though Cao Cao didn't want to, that one was not bad at all, but he had to admit that now, it really wasn't the worst outcome, and neither was this one. So it's not even the worst, and Cao Cao certainly wouldn't say he's the least dissatisfied. Compared to the worst outcome, it's really pretty good now, that's it. Another day of fighting should be said to be the last offensive and defensive battle here in Huguan. This is true for both the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army. After all, Ma Chao is coming with the Liangzhou Army today, so this is no small matter for both armies. It can be said that it directly changed the situation for both of them. Yes, the overall situation, the current situation, is inevitable. It is true that although the Yanzhou Army has suffered casualties now, there are still more troops and horses than the Liangzhou Army in Huguan. There are so many more troops, tens of thousands. But once the Liangzhou Army arrives, things will change. There are more people there, more than you, the Yanzhou Army. "You have fewer people on your side. Although it won't be 50,000 less, it is still less. Maybe 10,000, maybe 20,000. That's all possible, indeed. At least a few thousand, that's still the best case scenario. But looking at it now, Cao Cao felt that it was unlikely that there were so few. It was estimated that there would be more than ten thousand people, almost. After all, we have lost a lot of men and horses in the past few days. Compared with one hundred thousand, that is less. But as soon as they come, there are one hundred thousand people. Plus the men and horses in Huguan, it is definitely more than our own men and horses. Ten thousand There are still too many people, not even 20,000 people can stop them. Indeed, it is just that our own side is smaller than their Liangzhou Army anyway. That is absolutely true. But itĄŻs just a question of how much, itĄŻs okay if itĄŻs less, itĄŻs okay if itĄŻs more, thatĄŻs it. I really don't know how much less there will be in the end But Cao Cao actually has an idea. He estimates that the Liangzhou Army will be much less in the end. That's true, so he also knows that no one has more troops on his side, at least. More than 10,000, there is more. But even so, Cao Cao didn't say that he felt that there was a big gap between his own side and their Liangzhou Army. It wasn't that there wasn't one, but he didn't say that it was that big.?Not bad. But to say it is small, he also knows that it is not, and the gap can never be said to be small. After all, it is much less than the other party by ten thousand, or even more people, right, so Therefore, this Indeed, our side has no advantages, they are all others, and that is true, so it is normal for Cao Cao to have little confidence. If Yanzhou had more soldiers and horses, he would be more confident, unlike now. But it is not like that now. You have to accept the reality. They still have more horses and they have the advantage. It is not your Yanzhou Army, but their Liangzhou Army. That's it. But even so, Cao Cao was not afraid of anything, and he was still looking forward to the arrival of the Liangzhou Army. After all, the Liangzhou Army will come sooner or later. If they come now, it will just be earlier, just like now. If the Liangzhou Army came late, it was not too late. They would not arrive until after our side had captured Huguan, so they must have arrived when our side had lost more men and horses. And in that case, it would be better to be like this now. The Liangzhou Army will arrive today! Indeed, for Cao Cao, it is better for the Liangzhou army to arrive earlier than later. That is absolutely correct. If the Liangzhou Army had arrived earlier, the gap between them and our own side was actually not that big. But the later they come, the greater the gap between ourselves and them can be said. This is absolutely correct, Cao Cao/he knows it too well. It's true, it's better to be too late than early, he knows too well. So this has always been the case. For Cao Cao, it is actually pretty good now, that is. When the Liangzhou army comes over, the two armies will fight to the death. Now, it would be soon, after all, it is today, that is right. They are here, and we have to fight with them. Even if our goal is not achieved in the end, that is not the most important thing, indeed. For Cao Cao, now he still has to talk about the final result of the battle with their Liangzhou Army. That is beyond expectations. Let's fight when they come. Indeed, he is not afraid of that, but in the end he just loses, that's it. Losing is not terrible, as Cao Cao knows. What is terrible is that he cannot face it well and face it bravely, but he is definitely not like that, indeed. But Cao Cao didn't feel that he couldn't face it. It can be said that he could face it well, which is quite good. But looking at it now, it's just like that. We are not afraid of the Liangzhou Army coming, and we are not afraid of losing or anything. How can we say that we dare not face it properly? That is, Cao Cao didn't think it was okay to say that he and his side couldn't. Therefore, this is the situation. The Yanzhou Army is mostly waiting for the Liangzhou Army to come. When their army comes, the Yanzhou Army is not afraid. The worst they can do is lose. Cao Cao and their generals all know it. But it's not that easy to let one's side lose. Today is also the last time to attack Huguan. In the offensive and defensive battle at Huguan, Le Jin and Zhang Ji in Guanguan all used their own strength to suck milk. That's right. To them, everyone knows that the two armies will fight here at Huguan for the last time. They really don't know when it will happen in the future. That's right. Whether it will be like today in the future or whether we will almost fight here again is not certain. It is indeed true, so this is also There will be no chance in the future, so today, at this time, no matter Whether it was Zhang Ji or Le Jin, they both cherished this last day, and that was absolutely correct. After all, for them, if they want to fight Huguan again after today, there is really no chance. So they all cherish this last day, it might be the last time, but thatĄŻs not necessarily the case, really. For the two of them, if it was just Zhang Ji himself, he would not want Huguan to fall, but in terms of war, it is actually better to have it than not at all, and this is indeed the case. As for Le Jin, no matter what he said, fighting here is better than no war at all. This is not bad. It is always different from what Zhang Ji said. But in the future, there will really be no chance. Now Therefore, now, both of them feel that they must seize this last day, this last opportunity, that is. This was especially true for Zhang Ji. After all, even if Le Jin did not attack Huguan, he still had other wars to fight and could continue to lead the army, but Zhang Ji could not. He knew very well that when his own army arrived, he would have to continue to defend Huguan and would not be able to lead troops to fight the Yanzhou Army in a decisive battle. After all, our own side now lacks generals, men, and so on. Therefore, Zhang Ji knows that many of them are like this. Also, he is not a general brought here by his lord, but a local general in Bingzhou. He is also the prefect of Shangdang and the main general guarding the local area. Therefore, most of this means that he wants to be here instead of following him. The Lord is going to fight the Yanzhou Army or something. In the presence of my lord and generals, actuallyIt's the same, indeed. And if he doesn't lead the troops to fight the decisive battle with the Yanzhou Army, it doesn't matter if his master doesn't give him a chance. He doesn't say he can't accept it, but he can still accept it. Indeed, for Zhang Ji, that does not mean that he cannot accept it. After all, his lord also has his own ideas. It is more about grasping the overall situation and grasping the overall situation. The overall situation is the most important. So it doesn't mean that I can't understand that my lord had to do that in the end, really. It can be said that Zhang Ji is still good in this aspect, he is still young, but he can understand Ma Chao, which is good. If the latter knows Zhang Ji's thoughts, even if he still can't change his mind, his impression on him will not only be profound, but also good, very good, that's it. Now, Ma Chao's impression of Zhang Ji is that he is a good person, and he thinks he is good at guarding the pass. To be honest, from Zhang Yang's point of view, Zhang Ji should be called Uncle Ma Chao, so he is not only his lord, but also an uncle, which is correct. Therefore, when there are many people, in front of everyone in the Liangzhou army, Zhang Ji must call Ma Chao Lord, but in private, just the two of them, they should naturally call Ma Chao uncle. This is from Zhang Yang LetĄŻs talk about that. But as far as the current Zhang Ji is concerned, it is true that he and Ma Chao are not that familiar. Therefore, if he meets Ma Chao, even if it is just the two of them, he still dare not call Ma Chao uncle. He had to call him lord, but Ma Chao didn't really care about this, so he had to ask him to call him uncle. This was definitely the case. Therefore, he had to call him that, in private. In fact, Ma Chao has never said this before, but he knows that Zhang Ji will not be like that in a few years, and it will be normal. If he asks him to scream every day, His uncle, if he was used to it, maybe it would be okay, but now Ma Chao is actually very aware of Zhang Ji's character and style. It is indeed like that, but he doesn't care about that, it doesn't matter anymore. It can be said that his status is getting higher and higher now. There are no people around him who dare to talk so close to him. But it is true that there are not many left. Even Ma Chao knows it. It's true. Therefore, he himself hopes that someone can really get close to him and talk to him. Don't be afraid of anything, don't worry too much, it's of no use, that's all. In fact, he himself also knows that the more he reaches the status of himself now and has become the king, the more lonely he will be. This is definitely true. Even the emperor knows that he is a loner. It is true.
