At least there are not those 100,000 horses. There are only 5,000 here in Zhongsu. That is, not the previous 10,000. This is the difference. Five thousand is still not comparable to ten thousand, indeed. The latter is twice as much as the former, but, so this Although it is only an increase of five thousand, this result is quite big. That is, after all, ten thousand people, more than ten thousand people, are not comparable to five thousand people. And Ling Cao and his son were also happy to see this, not only because they had more strength to defend the city, but also because of this, their troops in Nanhai County alone could not stop the Liangzhou Army no matter what. So it is true that there must be reinforcements arranged by my lord. Even with those people, there is no way to stop them. After all, only a quarter of the 100,000 troops are left, and the other three-quarters, then But it has to be given to other counties, that¡¯s right. So in the end, we still have to hold on, but there are 25,000 more people. Even if the pressure on the counties and cities is great, it is true that they are still happy to see it. That's absolutely true. So this is the situation. Ling Cao and his son think it's good. If they can't defend it, they won't let the Liangzhou army easily take the city and cause them more losses. This is definitely the case. You have 25,000 more troops, which will naturally cause the Liangzhou Army to suffer more losses than before. Indeed, it's not like that. Now that there are 25,000 more troops, they are all satisfied. And this is not their part, it belongs to their master and has nothing to do with Jiaozhou. Therefore, they naturally felt better. After all, if you are a prefect or something, you will get a lot of salary, and you will not be short of money and food to support your troops. It's really not enough to be this prefect or something like that. And of course, it doesn¡¯t mean that there is only one way to increase money and food, and it may not be enough. So there are other places where they can get money and food. After all, there are many people and horses, and there are indeed a lot of people to eat and horses to feed. There are more Nanhai County, but more than half of the people in this place are still Ling Tong and his son. That's really true. But how can I put it, for them, it doesn¡¯t really matter if the part is gone. The worst they can do is start over from scratch, and they have all thought about it. After all, does his lord have many stories? Now only half of it is left. Although this one still has a hundred thousand people, but he lost so many people at once, it is really more than the loss of his father and son. Even if the whole army of his father and son might be wiped out, it still doesn't amount to a hundred thousand. This is true. But my lord used half of his strength, and once he received reinforcements of 100,000 men, he was basically gone. Don¡¯t even think about how much he would come back, so it was normal. Yes, since Sun Ce dared to let his 100,000 pieces pass, he actually didn't think about them coming back. This is true. After all, those men and horses were sent there on purpose, and they were not prepared to take them, really. Otherwise, Sun Ce could have stopped doing that and just asked several of his own generals and advisors to each come up with a part of the army, including one hundred thousand. If I take 50,000 yuan and the rest of them join together, that's actually enough, really. After all, not to mention others, just those people who are directly related to him, each of them has 5,000 people, and 50,000 is enough, indeed. As for five thousand troops per person, it is not too much for them, at least it is acceptable. Sun Ce is very clear about this. After all, there are ten people in his direct lineage, in fact, even more than that. Mainly Sun Ce's family, there are many people in the Sun family, this is true. Just to mention one casually, his younger brothers Sun Quan and Sun Yi, they both have more men and horses, but Sun Yi also has 20,000 troops, and Sun Quan has more than 10,000, which is really a lot. After all, this is your own army, it is your private soldier, and that is indeed true. The Jiangdong Army is different from the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army. As for the latter two, it is difficult for the generals to lead soldiers to rebel, but the generals and counselors of the Jiangdong Army are not like that, at least compared to the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army. For them, it is easier, much easier. The key is that they have more soldiers. This is. That is, it can be said that they do have resistance to the centralized power of being the lord and the boss, that is definitely the case. Of course, there are good ones, and this is indeed the case. And for Sun Ce, he has long been used to it and doesn't want to change it. If it is like this now, it is pretty good, that's right. After all, there is no comparison between our side and the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army. No matter how we compare, we can't surpass them. No one is stronger in this strength. Sun Ce knows the gap between the three parties. This is definitely true. He has been catching up, but in fact, he cannot catch up. It can only be said that narrowing this gap is actually just that, and it is considered the best result. That's true. After all, it's better than this gap getting wider and wider, that's for sure. If the gap between them and their strength really widens, then it will really be of no benefit to them, right? Just thinking about it, that's not bad. At least the gap has been narrowed a bit, which is actually a good thing. So generally speaking, it is indeed possible. Sun Ce thinks it is good.Because this is not the worst result, but rather good. Even if it is not the best result, that is not important, really. So he has always had this idea, and it is normal, indeed. But even so, Sun Ce still thought about it. If he had the strength But that was all a dream. Don't really have such thoughts. It's too much to ask for. There are no miracles. If there is one, it won't happen. Even if it does, it won't be that. So sincerely, he doesn't expect anything, at least that's how he feels. Although it may seem like I have an idea, it¡¯s just that I thought about it for a moment. If it¡¯s too much, I really don¡¯t have it anymore. That¡¯s it. It's not like Sun Ce to talk like that. He doesn't know how to blame others. "That's really not Sun Ce. He wouldn't be like that, that's right. No one else will, for sure. Ma Chao and Cao Cao would not be like that, indeed. For both of them, they are both the master and the boss, so there is one thing in common, that is, that is correct. That's it, it's always been the case, the three of them have something in common, but more are different, that's true. So this is indeed the case. If this is not the same, there may be a problem. However, none of the three of them thought that way. They wouldn't put their hopes on illusory miracles. That was definitely not the case and they didn't. After all, their experience and other things have already been told to them, so it is really not of much use, indeed. So this is their idea, and what they all do is to increase their own strength, instead of relying on those illusory things, that's true. Ma Chao, Cao Cao and Sun Ce are not like that. So on the Jiangdong Army side, it is true that Sun Ce knows the gap, but he has not given up yet, but he will not rely on others, and this is the same. After all, this mainly has to be said to be strength, which is fundamental. Others, only those that affect strength are useful. Others are really not of much use. Ma Chao had already entered Zhongsu City with his personal guards. If there was a large army, they would have to station outside and forget about entering. And he really doesn't think there is any use in having more people. Having a few hundred of his own bodyguards is actually enough. Speaking of his own bodyguard, he was very clear about it. Ma Chaoyun had to say that he was the best among the best, and that was absolutely true. Indeed, otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t even be able to choose. And it goes without saying that those people are loyal and loyal. At the critical moment, he was able to block Ma Chao's attacks and gave up his own life just to keep his master safe. These were Ma Chao's personal guards. In fact, it's not much, but the selection is very strict, and naturally the requirements are a lot, but the money and food given here are also a lot, really. After all, they are the most dangerous, which is actually true. Ma Chao is the main target of enemy soldiers on the battlefield. Even though everyone knew that Ma Chao was highly skilled in martial arts and that the soldiers around him were more powerful than ordinary soldiers, yet the enemy soldiers still attacked him. This was definitely unavoidable, indeed. After all, even the enemy soldiers knew that in the past, they had a narrow escape from death, but some of them still went there with a sense of luck, which is normal. This should be regarded as human nature. People who are more afraid of death will not say that going next to Ma Chao is definitely an act of seeking death. But there are always people who are taking chances. Of course, there are very few like that. There really aren¡¯t many. It¡¯s always been like that. As for the Liangzhou army, it doesn't mean that there are no soldiers like that, but there are just few, indeed. After all, although the Liangzhou Army is not without luck, some soldiers also have it, but they are the vast majority after all, and they can still see clearly, this is true. Therefore, compared with the Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army, there are actually fewer people who dare to do that. This is it. Even if you go on an expedition, you know that if you go, you will basically never come back, but you still think about what if you can come back again. So they also have their own ideas, that is, if they can't challenge something like that, they won't go. Most of them won't go, and not many soldiers go to attack the lord of the army. It really feels like their lives are too long, but there is still something like that. So it¡¯s true that those who do that are true, but after all they are in the minority, so that¡¯s not bad. If you say too much, then the situation must have changed, and this is definitely the case. If nothing has changed, then not many people are doing it. Yes, every time the two armies fight on the battlefield, it is true that there are soldiers like that, but after all, these are only a minority, and so is that. Therefore, when the lord is the boss and has so many troops to protect him, let alone his good martial arts skills, even if he has no martial arts skills, it will actually be okay. Look at those who are counselors, isn¡¯t that what they are? Of course, they will not participate too much in the fight between the two armies. They will try to avoid it if they can, and this is correct. Only the guards guarding them follow them, that is. Unlike those who are lords and bosses, they cannot act like counselors, as long as theyIf you retreat, no matter what the situation is, it will give a wrong message to your own soldiers, that is, the master is afraid, or is about to retreat. And no matter whether it was Ma Chao, Cao Cao or Sun Ce, they would not do that. Not to mention that they always move forward bravely, but it is true that they will not say retreat like counselors do. If we really want to retreat, then we will definitely withdraw our troops, that is. Indeed, otherwise, there would be nothing to make them retreat. How many people are like that, how can they retreat? Unless you withdraw your troops, there is no other way. Even if you think about it or not, you have to do it, yes. This is true when you think about it. If you retreat, it will be of no benefit to the war. If at the end of the day you have to lead your troops to retreat, that's okay. But if it wasn't like that, if you step back and let the soldiers see it, it will definitely be detrimental to the war, and it doesn't matter what the soldiers think, anyway, they won't think of anything good. Then the first thing is to let morale drop, unless they say they didn't see it. But is such a situation really possible? It's impossible to say that everyone has seen it, but most people will still see it, that's right. After all, many soldiers pay attention to their master. Yes, otherwise, how could they hear their lord's military order? When their master says to retreat, they are not allowed to execute it immediately? So even on the battlefield, they would not say that they should pay attention to their lord at all times, but if they say that if you are the lord and the boss, you will retreat, then there will definitely be many people who will find out. This is true. Not everyone may know the good things, but there are quite a few bad things that are known. Not to mention the few of them who are the lords, as far as the generals on the battlefield are concerned, they will basically not retreat easily, that is for sure. Unless you say that you are not as good as others in a one-on-one duel with the opponent, and if you lose or get injured, then it will be impossible not to retreat, it has to be like that, really. But even the soldiers didn't understand the situation, so it didn't matter. The soldiers felt that the general who retreated like that was actually aware of current affairs, that was. Otherwise, rushing forward knowing that you are going to lose, or even be injured, is absolutely stupid, and it will not do any good to the entire battle, really. After all, generals are not lords and bosses. The difference between them is really big. At least the general just withdraws from the battlefield and runs away. It would be false to say that there is no impact, but it cannot be compared with the lord and the boss. At least if they run away directly, then the whole army will basically be defeated. This is not the worst result, but it is not. Well, there are indeed outcomes worse than this. That is, but it is not like that.
