In the twenty-first year of Jian'an (216), Cao Cao levied Sun Quan again.

When the army arrived in Hefei, Cao Cao inspected the place where Zhang Liao fought in the past and admired it for a long time. So he increased the troops for Zhang Liao, and left more troops to migrate to the nest.

Cao Cao attacked the mouth of the Xukou, Sun Quan asked to surrender, and left Xiahou (dū

), Cao Ren, Zhang Liao and other tun nests.

…… ……

Guan Yu besieged Cao Ren in Fancheng, and in due course Sun Quan called the vassal in Wei, in order to let Sun Quan attack Jingzhou with peace of mind, Cao Cao summoned Zhang Liao and all the troops to rescue Cao Ren.

Zhang Liao has not yet arrived, and Xu Huang has already defeated Guan Yu. Zhang Liao then joined Cao Cao in Mobi, and Cao Cao came out by car to comfort him and sent him to Chenjun.

In Chen County, Zhang Liao took two concubines in the local area, one did not give birth, and the other only gave birth to a girl. The girl, the name is not left in the historical books, and the local chronicles say that her daughter died young.

…… ……

Cao Cao died, Cao Pi ascended the throne of Wei, relocated Zhang Liao to the former general, and divided his brother Zhang Xun and a son as liehous.

Soon, Sun Quan rebelled again, and Zhang Liao returned to Hefei and entered the town marquis.

Cao Pi gave his mother a chariot to show his honor, and sent soldiers and horses to send his family to the place where he was garrisoning, and announced in advance that Zhang Liao's family was coming, and ordered all the defenders to go out to greet him, and all the sergeants and generals lined up to greet Zhang Liao's family, and those who saw this scene thought it was a very glorious thing. This time, Cao Pi collected Zhang Liao's women scattered in other cities and sent them to Hefei to live.

…… ……

In the same year, Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, and then named Zhang Liao as the Marquis of Jinyang, increasing the number of 1,000 households, and the first 2,600 households.

In the second year of the early Huang dynasty (221), Zhang Liao went to the Luoyang Imperial Palace to worship, and Cao Pi led Zhang Liao to meet in the Jianshi Palace, and asked him about the situation when he broke Wu in the past.

After Zhang Liao recounted, Cao Pi sighed left and right: "It's simply the ancient Zhaohu (Zhaohu is Zhaogong, and he is the same name as Uncle Fang, Yin Jifu, Qin Zhong, etc. He was borrowed by Cao Pi as a metaphor because of his pacification). ”

So, to build a house for Zhang Liao, to build a palace for his mother, and to follow Zhang Liao to break through the Wu army camp and temporarily recruit a number of foot soldiers, all of whom were sealed as tigers, and Zhang Liao's status has been raised to the extreme, which is beyond limits.

Zhang Liao was in the army, and he responded to every call, and no one obeyed.

In the third year of the early Huang dynasty (222), Sun Quan once again declared himself a vassal to Cao Wei.

Zhang Liao was ordered to return to Tunyongqiu, but he fell ill here.

In Cao Pi's dispatch, Liu Ye took the imperial physician to examine his illness, and ordered the tiger guards to communicate Zhang Liao's illness back and forth, and the messengers who asked Zhang Liao about his illness often met each other on the road.

Liang Zhangju's "Circumstantial Evidence of the Three Kingdoms" mentions that "the three princes of the Han Dynasty were sick, and they were sent to Huangmen to ask about the disease." Wei and Jin are Huangmenlang, especially the heavy ones or servants. (Zhang) Liao has not reached the public, and he is in the service, and he is also favored. ”

It can be seen how Cao Pi attaches importance to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liaozhi's illness was not cured for a long time, Cao Pi ordered someone to take him to his camp, and he drove in person, held his hand, gave him imperial clothes, and the eunuch came to deliver imperial meals every day.

After his condition improved slightly, Zhang Liao returned to the garrison where he was stationed, not arrogant or rash, loyal to his duties, and did his best.

At that time, Sun Quan betrayed Cao Wei again, and Cao Pi sent Zhang Liao to take a boat and Cao Xiu to Hailing Linjiang to garrison.

Sun Quan knew that Zhang Liao was so far, he was very jealous, and ordered the generals to say: "Although Zhang Liao is sick, he is still brave, you must be cautious!" ”

In the same year, Zhang Liao and the generals broke the Wu general Lü Fan.

But his condition became more and more serious, and finally died in Jiangdu, and a generation of famous generals fell.

Cao Pi was weeping for it, and said that he was just a marquis. His son Zhang Huhei was appointed as his knight.

…… ……

In the sixth year of the early Huang Dynasty (225 years), Cao Pi remembered Zhang Liao and Li Dian's achievements in Hefei, and issued an edict saying: "In the battle of Hefei, Zhang Liao and Li Dian only had 800 foot soldiers and 100,000 thieves. They have made the thieves still angry and robbed of them, and they can really be described as the minions of the country. Now it is divided into 100 households in Liao and Dianyi, and a viscount is given to the Marquis of Guannei. ”

In the first four years (243), Zhang Liao was enshrined in Cao Cao's temple.

Successive official positions: County Official, Cavalry Captain, Lu Xiang, Zhonglang General, Guan Nei Hou, General Pi, Xing Zhongjian General, Dangkou General, Zhengdong General, Former General, Inner Dynasty Official, Yayu Che Cavalry, Hussar General.

Liao had an elder brother named Zhang Fan, who was made a marquis in Wei because of Zhang Liao's merits (when Cao Pi was the emperor of Emperor Wen, Zhang Liao was transferred to the former general. The imperial court divided his brother Zhang Pan and a son Liehou).

Offspring:

Zhang Liao has a son named Zhang Hu, and Zhang Hu has a son named Zhang Tong, that is, Zhang Liao's grandson.

…… ……

When Guan Yu was in Cao Cao's camp, Zhang Liao and Guan Yu were friends, Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao to ask Guan Yu to stay, Guan Yu said that he would only follow Liu Bei, Zhang Liao thought that if he told Cao Cao the truth, he was afraid that Cao Cao would kill Guan Yu. But not to say it, it is not the way of the king, so he sighed: "Gong Cao is a king like a father; Guan Yu is just a brother. ”

In the end, he chose to tell Cao Cao the truth. This move was considered by later generations to be a manifestation of the subordinates who knew how to distinguish the importance and the general knowledge, such as Liu Muzhi, the left servant of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, once said: "I am favored by the Duke (referring to Liu Yu), and I have no concealment, so Zhang Liao sued Guan Yu for rebellion." ”

Shangshu's right servant shot He Shangzhi also said: "The minister thinks about Zhang Liao's words, although Guan Yu is a brother, Cao Gong's father and son, how can he not say it?" ”

…… ……

Zhang Liao once had a discord with the protector Wu Zhou, and was later persuaded by Hu to reconcile with Wu Zhou. Although there are discords with Li Dian and Le Jin, they can also ignore their past suspicions when facing the Soochow army.

Zhang Liao's military performance was revered by all dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Han's "Mengqiu" has the phrase "Zhang Liao cries".

In the third year of Jianzhong (782), Yan Zhenqing, the ceremonial envoy, suggested to Tang Dezong that 64 famous ancient generals should be posthumously crowned and set up temples for them to enjoy, including "Zhang Liao, Marquis of Jinyang, the general of Wei Zhengdong". At the same time, only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Deng Ai, and Lu Kang were included in the list of temple enjoyment.

In the fifth year of Xuanhe (1123), the Song dynasty set up temples for ancient famous generals in accordance with the practice of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Liao was also included among the seventy-two famous generals. In the "Biography of Seventeen History and One Hundred Generals" written during the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Liao is also among them. In addition, there is a so-called Japanese proverb "Liao Lailai (Liao Lai)" is an allusion from Zhang Liao's cry.
