Chapter 1288 Exploring the enemy

After the next day, Liu Bei ordered Ma Chao to order the army and rushed out. Liu Bei's goal was very clear. Instead of going to Sun Ce's camp, he went to the Jiangdong camp that surrounded the Lijiang River. Moreover, he was not arrogant at all. With a kind of tenacity of the old cow pulling the car, the army gathered together and nibbled down the surrounding camp.

It turns out that Liu Bei's tactics are correct. Sun Ce's new death may encounter a full of mourners in Sun Ce's camp. However, the surrounding camps have not been informed yet. They only know that the two families had a war a few days ago, but they did not get the results of the war. As soon as Liu Bei's army came out, he shouted the slogan 'Sun Ce is dead', and those generals and soldiers who were still suspicious lost their spirit of war. Liu Bei's army only needed a little impact to break into the tooth gate, and then happily moved the combat equipment and materials in the camp back to his own camp. Before leaving, he did not forget to set a fire.

It has been like this for several days in a row. Liu Bei broke through four camps in a row, and it was easy to lose Sun Ce's Jiangdong army and horses. He was simply a scum, let Liu Bei come**. Most of the defeated Jiangdong soldiers also fled into Sun Ce's camp. Seeing that the whole battalion was hanging white flags and the soldiers were wearing mourning clothes, they felt that disaster fell from the sky and rushed to Sun Ce's coffin to worship. The whole Sun Ce camp was full of sorrow.

With the passage of time, Liu Bei can no longer go out to the army. Those camp commanders who got the news all merged into Sun Ce's camp with great tacit understanding. The two families looked at each other from afar, crying in white, but one celebrated with a large bowl of wine and a large piece of meat, forming a sharp contrast, which made people feel strange and crying and laughing.

Three days later, Liu Bei came to Sun Ce's camp and looked at Ma Chao's face. It is difficult to restrain a sense of powerlessness in his heart: what kind of bloody wind and conspiracy made this young man reach such a level of silence as water?

Liu Bei sighed that he was older than Ma, and his half-life experience was no different from Ma Chao. But I can't figure out where the gap between him and Ma Chao is.

However, he didn't think about this at the time, and once again hugged his fist and asked for instructions, "King Yong, should we always attack this time?"

Indeed, Sun Ce's strength has been greatly reduced, and morale has fallen to the bottom. In the battle with Ma Chao, he lost twice and buried himself on the battlefield. Liu Bei thought that this was the best opportunity to defeat Sun Ce, but Zhuge Liang told him that it would take a little time.

Ask Zhuge Liang the reason, Zhuge Liang said that there is still Zhou Yu behind Sun Ce. Whether he is training or using troops, he is the best in the world. Although he deliberately hides himself behind Sun Ce, his wisdom, which is definitely different from Sun Ce, has already been singing in Jiangdong.

But Liu Bei felt that that was not the main reason. Even if Zhou Yu had the means to shock the world and cry, it was impossible for him to lead a mourner to turn the world around. However, Ma Chao seemed to agree with Zhuge Liang. He was still rested when the two armies had not fought for three days. Even today's camp, Ma Chao looks a little lazy.

"King Yong!" Liu Bei aggravated his tone and asked again for instructions: "Now that Sun Ce's new death, Jiangdong's soldiers have no intention of fighting. It is a good opportunity for our army to break through the enemy's soldiers. Why didn't King Yong delay the order of the general attack?"

Ma Chao took a look at Liu Bei, and at that glance, Liu Bei seemed to feel that his calculations in his heart had been seen through by Ma Chao: Liu Bei did have his intention to attack Sun Ce so actively. Now the situation in Jingzhou is unknown. Although the emperor sits high in the hall and Cai Mao has lost soldiers and generals, there are still 50,000 soldiers and horses in total. Ma Chao did not clearly open his mouth to support him as the lord of Jingzhou, which is impossible for Liu Bei, who has a high vision and sees that there is not much place for him to show his current situation in the Han Dynasty, saying that it is not urgent for Jingzhou.

And the only way to increase his reputation in Jingzhou is the current good opportunity: war!

War is the fastest and most effective shortcut to improve a person's reputation. Liu Bei himself has some roots in Jingzhou, and in the past few days, his military name has stabilized Cai Mao. As long as Sun Ce is defeated again this time, the news will spread to Jingzhou. Even if Ma Chao does not want to make him the lord of Jingzhou, it will not be easy to explain to the people of Jingzhou.

"Xuan Degong, do you think Sun Ce's camp is different from a few days ago?" Ma Chao did not withdraw his eyes and changed the topic lightly.

Liu Bei was stunned first, and then raised his eyes and saw that Sun Ce's camp, which had not been paid attention for a few days, simply became a terrible fortress. One after another, heavy gully and one heavy camp, lined up the position in front of the Jiangdong Army like a cobweb.

It seems that Jiangdong Army has expected the intention of its own army and wants to use space to buy time with the idea of layered persistence. Use it to fight a mud war with yourself in this muddy land that is dug into a muddy mud.

So strangely, Liu Bei was also a little suspicious: "Is this Jiangdong army waiting for reinforcements?" His first reaction was that the Jiangdong Army was waiting for Sun Ce's heir to come with reinforcements, and then fought to the death with the self-army.

Ma Chao shook his head, as if he was too lazy to answer such a question, and his eyes fell on Pang Tong beside him. Pang Tong looked at Liu Bei's asking for advice and curled his lips: "Xuan Degong, if King Yong is killed in battle, will you slowly set up these gullies and let the surrounding battalions be captured by the enemy without any response?"

Gan Ning and Tai Shici were furious when they saw Pang Tong disrespecting Ma Chao in public. But Ma Chao waved his hand with a smile and said to Liu Bei, "Why hasn't Zhuge Junshi appeared under Xuande's official account?" In Chang'an, I have a good marriage to tell him..."

"Ma Chao, you! ..." Pang Tong was short of breath. Since Ma Chao knew his short ribs, Ma Chao has been holding on tightly. As a result, Pang Tong felt more and more disgusted and rudely.

However, it is gradually unclear when the dispute between the two began. Pang Tong sometimes even felt that he was a little uncomfortable if he didn't compete with Ma Chao for a day...

Liu Bei didn't care about the resentment between the two. At that time, he felt that Pang Tong's words were reasonable: any unit should not have such a strange reaction as the Jiangdong army when encountering this situation. Unless they have any other plans.

However, in addition, Liu Bei also took a deep look at Pang Tong. My eyes flashed a little, and I didn't know what I was thinking. But then I felt a trace of concentration falling on him. Looking back, Ma Chao stared at him with a smile and said, "Mr. Xuande, the general attack is too risky, but I will lead the troops to test what the hell the Jiangdong Army is doing, and give it to Duke Xuande."

This sudden change made Liu Bei a little unresponsive for a moment. Chen Dao around him seemed to understand Liu Bei's intention and said hesitantly, "King Yong, the Jiangdong Army looks like such an ordinary turtle shell. I'm afraid that if there are fewer soldiers and horses, they will send vegetables to the Jiangdong Army for nothing..."

"It's okay. This time, except for my Nanyang soldiers, the rest of the organized corps are under the command of your Xuande." Ma Chao said that Cai Mao beside him changed color slightly, but he couldn't say anything more. Who let him not have the ability to attack Ma Chao like Liu Bei?

"Brother, I think King Yong is right. No matter what Jiang Dongjun thinks, we will rush over and knock off their turtle shells, pull them out and chop them down." Zhang Fei is a typical belligerent. As long as there is a war, he will be very happy. As long as there is no war, he will not scratch or scratch painfully. Whether to win or defeat the battle is not what he cares about. Therefore, he agreed to Ma Chao's order for the first time.

And Liu Bei also knew that this was an opportunity under the bright eyes of Ma Chao. But the feeling of being played by Ma Chao everywhere lingered, so I was slightly suspicious for a moment. At this time, Ma Chao offered another price: "As long as Xuande can step on the Jiangdong camp and return triumphantly this time, I will definitely appeal to the emperor and ask Xuande to be the herdsman of Jingzhou!"

Liu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up, but then returned to flatness. He looked at Jiangdong's camp and couldn't touch Ma Chao's pulse. At this time, he didn't even expect that he would say such a thing: "King Yong, let's wait for me to ask the military division before making a decision."

"Well, anyway, I'm not in a hurry at this time." Ma Chao looked indifferent, turned the horse's head and went back like that.

And Liu Bei looked at Ma Chao's back and couldn't help sighing...
