"How much was lost" Ma Chao sat at the head of the Chinese army account with a gloomy expression.
He could have ignored this failure because it was a test and it also consumed a lot of Cai Hao and Liu Bei's troops.
But now he feels the humiliation that he has not felt for a long time. , and what’s even more abominable is that this humiliation was not caused by the Jiangdong Army.
At that time, Liu Bei and Cai Mao were defeated.
As long as their soldiers had the qualities of the Ma Jiajun, they could launch another desperate counterattack after the Ma Jiajun withstood the wave of Jiangdong's army.
But what he didn't expect was that when he took it for granted to use the level of the Ma Jiajun to speculate on the Jingzhou army, he actually watched the remnants of the soldiers collapse and destroy his own formation.
Suddenly, the plan turned into a fake act, and his final victory was Turn around and become a shameful escape "Back to King Yong, more than 2,000 of General Cai's men were killed in battle and more than 7,000 fled; my men were killed in more than 3,000 and more than 4,000 fled."
After saying this, Liu Bei tried hard to calm down.
But under Ma Chao's pressure to remain calm and assertive, he found that he still couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Lord, our army has few casualties, only more than 500 people.
Moreover, most of them are Huya Cavalry and Xiangyang Guards, and there are about 2,000 people who fled."
Gan Ning's eyes were obviously a bit disdainful, and he forgot to glance at the ashamed Liu Pan and Zhang Yun finished their sentence: "Most of them are Hu Yaqi and Xiangyang Guards."
Ma Chao's expression softened slightly at this time.
Judging from these battle-to-flight ratios, the Nanyang soldiers brought by Wenpin did not embarrass Ma Chao.
They had the fewest casualties and the least number of fleeing troops among the three.
At this time, Cai Mao was basically about to drop his head into his crotch: his men's casualties were not as many as Liu Bei's, but the number of people who fled was more than double that of Liu Bei's.
Their ability to lead troops was like lice on a bald man's head.
It's clear at a glance.
"Well, what about the grain, grass and baggage?"
Ma Chao turned his attention to Cai Hao and asked calmly: "General Cai, don't tell me that I asked Cai Zhong and Cai He to supervise the civil service to transfer the grain, grass and baggage, but they didn't do it well."
"No, no, King Yong has prepared for a rainy day, and his subordinates should go all out.
It's just that the war has suddenly changed, and some food and grass baggage are too late."
Cai Hao was like a cooked shrimp at this time.
Not only was his face red, but his bowed body was even more similar.
Incomparable.
At this moment, he just wanted to kick his two incompetent brothers tens of thousands of feet: these two idiots actually followed Ma Chao's orders, but within half an hour of urging, they secretly drank and had fun, and Sun Ce's army arrived.
At that time, nearly one-third of the food and baggage had not been transferred, so the people from Jiangdong burned it all.
"That's unreasonable."
Ma Chao laughed angrily at this moment.
He stared at Cai Hao with a gloomy face, causing Cai Hao to fall to the ground: "Okay, this battle lasted for three hours, and General Cai actually said that those grains and grass Where are Cai Zhong and Cai He before the transfer of the baggage can be completed?"
After the law enforcement team brought the two drunk men, Ma Chao's expression was beyond description.
But Cai Mao was not his subordinate after all.
If he really chopped off the heads of Cai Zhong and Cai He, it would be impossible for Cai Mao not to rebel.
However, the two of them were so derelict in their duties, and if Ma Chao did not understand the military law, it would be difficult to convince the public.
After thinking for a moment, the anger on Ma Chao's face suddenly disappeared, and he even smiled gently.
Only after the three Cai brothers were confused and frightened did he speak: "You three are not under my command, so I don't have the power to punish you.
However, this time I led my troops to guard against the thieves in Jingzhou, but Because you three are so useless, I lose face.
So, General Cai, what do you say?"
"King Yong" Cai Mao suddenly spoke righteously and stood up and said: "Although these two are my brothers, they have failed in their affairs and neglected their duties, so they have to engage in military law."
Cai Zhong and Cai He were so frightened that they begged Cai Mao for mercy.
However, Ma Chao seemed to not blame these two people.
Instead, he walked to Cai Mao affectionately, patted his shoulder and said in a consultative tone: "I don't know how much my face is actually worth.
However, Chang'an is really in a tight situation.
This fire burned so much food, grass and luggage, it makes me feel bad to see it."
Cai Mao immediately understood and immediately expressed his position: "Don't worry, King Yong.

Although I am not a rich man in Jingzhou, King Yong is helping Jingzhou this time.
I, Cai Mao, will definitely repay the favor, and the military supplies I burned will be sent to Chang'an soon." , to repay King Yong’s loyalty.”
"Okay, okay, okay" Ma Chao clapped his hands and laughed.
After returning to the main seat in high spirits, it was as if nothing had happened.
The atmosphere in the entire tent suddenly became bright and relaxed, and he continued to say: " As you all don’t know, General Gao Shun of Yingchuan and Cao Cao’s general Cao Ren have joined forces with 30,000 troops to attack Lujiang.
Although this battle was defeated and the troops were greatly damaged, there was a large army in the rear that was constraining them.
The Jiangdong Army did not dare to rush forward rashly.
Our army still had a "Strength of War" At this time, Liu Bei glanced at Cai Mao, who still had a somewhat lucky expression on his face, and sneered in his heart: Ma Chao let the two guilty Cai Zhong and Cai He off so easily, which only shows that he has completely dissatisfied Cai in his heart.
I was disappointed, so I just didn’t bother to deal with it.
Although Liu Bei did not go to Sun Ce's camp as promised this time, Ma Chao would most likely recommend him as the shepherd of Jingzhou.
It's ridiculous that Cai Hao still thinks that Jingzhou lacks his indispensable virtues.
I really wonder how he will regret playing such a clever trick in front of Ma Chao to save his two idiot brothers in the future.
"King Yong, there is good news here for the last general."
Liu Bei moved his eyes away from Cai Mao and stepped forward to report: "The second brother of the last general, Guan Yu, received our military order and also sent troops from Runan.
After arriving at Jiangxia County, he also contacted Jiangdong.
The reinforcements encountered, and after waiting for work, Sun Quan was defeated, and more than three thousand were defeated.
This is the battle report, please see it."
Ma Chao received the battle report and looked at Liu Bei with a hint of admiration: the reason why he dared to ask Gao Shun to send troops was because he had the Yidai Zhao as a trump card, and he even reached an agreement with Cao Cao after the Jingzhou Incident. , in exchange for Cao Cao sending troops.
And Liu Bei actually mobilized Guan Yu to participate in the war after asking for help several times before.
This kind of vision and ruthlessness are indeed the style of a generation of heroes.
However, no matter what, the news that Sun Ce had called in reinforcements this time was really unfavorable to them.
After encountering Sun Ce's fierce blow this time, even if he didn't want to use all his strength, it was impossible.
At that moment, with a serious look on his face, he asked someone to spread the hanging map on the ground, and said with emotion: "This time, Sun Ce really pissed me off.
Where is Gan Ning?"
"The general will be here at the end."
Gan Ning stepped out of the queue like a vicious tiger and replied with clasped fists.
"The plan you talked about before can be implemented today.
Huyaqi and Xiangyang Guards under Huo Jun, Liu Pan, and Zhang Yun are all at your disposal.
They will take advantage of Guan Yu to leave Jiangxia and enter Jiangxia again."
After saying this, Ma Chao glanced at Huo Jun. , Liu Pan, and Zhang Yun, they took off the iron sword from their waists and handed it to Gan Ning: "You can do everything cheaply this time.
If anyone disobeys your military orders, you can kill them with this sword."
"The last general accepts the order."
Gan Ning respectfully took the sword from Ma Chao's hand, and then slightly flicked it.
The powerful brilliance revealed by the Su Tie sword immediately dazzled Huo Jun, Liu Pan, and Zhang Yun.
The murderous intent was whizzing past the three of them like a river.
Then Gan Ning suddenly closed his sword and respectfully returned to the queue.
The three people looked at each other and saw the deep fear in each other's eyes.
After that, Ma Chao smiled, casually took out the arrow from the arrow barrel on the desk and threw it, hitting the east of Xiangyang on the map on the ground, and the arrow feathers trembled slightly.
When everyone looked at it, they saw a place circled by Ma Chao with a brush.
Ma Chao stood up with a flick of his brocade robe: "The rest of the generals gathered their troops and horses and stayed there.
When the time is right, I will turn around here."
The battle situation, the Jiangdong Army was defeated."
Everyone immediately accepted the order, and Liu Bei specifically took a look at the name of the place on the map: Huarong
