Chapter 1276
After the next day, Liu Bei ordered Ma Chao to mobilize the army and rush out.Liu Bei's goal was very clear, instead of going to Sun Ce's camp, he chose to go to the Jiangdong camp that surrounded the Minjiang River.Moreover, he was not half arrogant, with the tenacity of an old cow pulling a broken cart, the army gathered together and gnawed at the surrounding camps.

Facts have proved that Liu Bei's tactics are correct.Sun Ce's new death, going straight to Sun Ce's camp may encounter a camp full of mourners.However, those surrounding camps have not received any news. They only know that the two families fought a battle a few days ago, but they did not get the results of the battle.As soon as Liu Bei's army came out, he shouted the slogan "Sun Ce is dead", which immediately made those generals and soldiers who were still in doubt lose their fighting spirit.Liu Bei's army only needed to make an impact, and it was easy to break through the tooth door, and then happily moved the war equipment and materials in the camp back to his own camp. Before leaving, he did not forget to set a fire.

This was the case for several days in a row. Liu Bei broke through four camps without any effort, and lost Sun Ce's Jiangdong army and horses.And most of those Jiangdong soldiers who were defeated also fled into Sun Ce's camp. Seeing that the whole camp was hung with white banners and the soldiers were all in mourning clothes, they felt that disaster was coming from the sky, so they rushed to worship in front of Sun Ce's coffin. The clouds are bleak.

As time went by, Liu Bei could no longer dispatch an army.Those battalion commanders who got the news all joined Sun Ce's camp in a tacit understanding. The two families faced each other from a distance, one was in white clothes and mourning, the other was celebrating with a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat, forming a stark contrast , making people feel weird and dumbfounded.

Three days later, Liu Bei came to Sun Ce's camp and looked at Ma Chao's expressionless face.It was hard to contain a feeling of powerlessness in my heart: What kind of bloody storm and conspiracy like a sea made this young man reach such a point where everything is calm like water?
Liu Bei lamented that he was older than Ma Chao, and his half-life experience was no different from Ma Chao's.But he couldn't figure out what the gap between him and Ma Chao was.

However, he didn't think about it right now, and asked for instructions again, "King Yong, should we attack this time?"

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

Asked Zhuge Liang why, Zhuge Liang said that there was Zhou Yu behind Sun Ce, who was a first-class man in the world whether it was training or using soldiers. Although he deliberately hid himself behind Sun Ce, his wisdom was completely different from Sun Ce's. It is sung in Jiangdong.

But Liu Bei didn't think that was the main reason. Even if Zhou Yu had the means to shake the world and weep ghosts and gods, it was impossible to lead a dead army to turn things around.However, Ma Chao seemed to agree with Zhuge Liang very much. Even though the two armies had not fought for three days, he was still calm and relaxed.Even during today's camp tour, Ma Chao seemed a little lazy.

"King Yong!" Liu Bei emphasized his tone, and asked for instructions again: "Now that Sun Ce has died and the soldiers in Jiangdong no longer have the will to fight, this is a good opportunity for our army to defeat the enemy. Why did King Yong delay the order for the general attack?"

Ma Chao glanced at Liu Bei, and with that one glance, Liu Bei seemed to feel that Ma Chao had seen through all the calculations in his heart: the reason why he took the initiative to attack Sun Ce, Liu Bei did have his intentions.Now the situation in Jingzhou is unclear. Although the emperor sits high in the hall and Cai Mao has lost troops and generals, there are still [-] soldiers in total.Ma Chao did not explicitly support him as the lord of Jingzhou. For Liu Bei, who has a high vision and sees that there is not much room for him to show his fists, it is impossible to say that Jingzhou is not urgent.

And the only way to increase his prestige in Jingzhou is the current opportunity: war!
War is the fastest and most effective shortcut to increase a person's reputation. Liu Bei himself already has some foundations in Jingzhou, and after several attacks in the past few days, his military reputation has steadily surpassed that of Cai Mao.As long as Sun Ce is defeated this time, the news will spread to Jingzhou. Even if Ma Chao doesn't want to make him the lord of Jingzhou, it will be difficult to explain to the people of Jingzhou.

"Mr. Xuande, do you see that Sun Ce's camp is different from the previous days?" Ma Chao didn't look back, and changed the subject lightly.

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyes and saw that Sun Ce's camp, without paying attention for a few days, turned into a terrible fortress in an instant, with one layer after another of ditches, one layer after another of camps, and the Jiangdong Army. The positions are arranged like a spider web.

It seems that the Jiangdong Army has anticipated the intention of the own army, and wants to use the space to buy time with the idea of ​​layering and sticking to it.Use it to fight yourself a mud war in this muddy field dug into a quagmire.

Such a strange situation made Liu Bei suspicious: "Is this Jiangdong Army waiting for reinforcements?" His first reaction was that Jiangdong Army was waiting for Sun Ce's heir to bring reinforcements, and then fought to the death with his own 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.Seeing Liu Bei asking for advice, Pang Tong curled his lips: "Mr. Xuande, if King Yong died in battle, would you lay down these ditches in an orderly manner, and then let the surrounding camps be captured by the enemy without any response?" ?”

Gan Ning and Tai Shici were furious when they saw that Pang Tong disrespected Ma Chao in public.But Ma Chao waved his hands with a smile, and said to Liu Bei, "Why hasn't Zhuge's army division under Mr. Xuande's account shown up all this time? I have a good relationship with him in Chang'an..."

"Ma Chao, you!..." Pang Tong suddenly became short of breath. Ever since Ma Chao found out about his weakness, Ma Chao has been holding onto it tightly.Because of this, Pang Tong felt that Ma Chao was more hateful, and made several insults.

It's just that when the dispute between the two started, I gradually lost my memory.Pang Tong sometimes even felt a little uncomfortable if he didn't argue with Ma Chao for a day...

Liu Bei didn't care about the grievances between the two. He felt at the time that Pang Tong was right: any army should not react in such a weird way when encountering such a situation.Unless, they have other plans.

However, besides this, Liu Bei took a deep look at Pang Tong.His eyes flickered a little, but he didn't know what he was thinking.But then he felt a little focus on him, and when he looked back, he saw Ma Chao staring at him with a smile again, and said, "Mr. Xuande, the general attack is too risky, but let's lead troops to test what Jiangdong Army is doing." Ghost, I will hand it over to Duke Xuande."

This sudden change made Liu Bei unable to react for a while.Chen Dao beside him seemed to understand Liu Bei's intentions, and he said hesitantly: "King Yong, the Jiangdong Army looks like a tortoise shell, I'm afraid there will be fewer soldiers and horses dispatched, and they will send food to the Jiangdong Army for nothing..."

"It's okay, this time, except for my Nanyang soldiers, the remaining regiments are all under your command, Mr. Xuande." Ma Chao said this, and Cai Mao on the side changed his color slightly, but he couldn't say more. What.Who made him not capable enough to ask Ma Chao for an attack like Liu Bei?
"Brother, I think King Yong is right. No matter what the Jiangdong army thinks, we will rush over, knock off their tortoise shells, pull them out and chop them, or we will be done." Zhang Fei is a typical militant , As long as there is a war, I will be very happy, as long as there is no war, I will be in pain without scratching.As for whether to win or lose the battle, it is not what he cares about.As a result, he agreed to Ma Chao's order for the first time.

Under Ma Chao's bright eyes, Liu Bei also knew that this was an opportunity.But the feeling of being played by Ma Chao can't go away, so he hesitated for a moment.At this time, Ma Chao offered another price: "As long as Lord Xuande can step into the Jiangdong camp this time and return triumphantly, I will definitely play the role of the emperor and invite Lord Xuande to be the shepherd of Jingzhou!"

Liu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up, but then they returned to normal.He looked at Jiangdong Daying, and was even more uncertain about Ma Chao's pulse.But at this time, he didn't even think that he would say something like this: "King Yong, let me ask the military adviser for instructions before making a decision."

"Well, that's fine, anyway, it's not in a hurry." Ma Chao looked indifferent, turned his horse's head, and went back calmly.

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