After Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu, he pretended to be angry with Xiahoudun and wanted to behead him. The officials interceded for Xiahoudun, and Cao Cao retreated from Xiahoudun and ordered the troops to march in Japan.

The next day, Cao Cao's troops went out of the boundary of the valley, and an army in front greeted them, and the general led by Pang De was Pang De. Cao Cao saw Pang De riding a big horse and making a gold-headed sword, which was extremely majestic, so he beckoned Pang De to surrender.

Pang De scolded: "Cao thief, Brother Liu Huang and General Ma treat me like a mountain, and I Pang De'an will carry it?" Look at the knives! ”

Pang De hurriedly drove the horse to fight, and Xu Chu behind Cao Cao wanted to fight, but saw that one of the generals in the formation had already come out of the horse, it was Xu Huang. Xu Huang was injured by Pan Feng before, although he has recovered, his strength has not fully recovered, and he only fought with Pang De to a draw.

The two generals were fighting, and Cao Junzhai suddenly caught fire. People reported that Ma Chao robbed the second village in the middle and back, and many of the generals under Cao Cao were afraid of Ma Chao's bravery, and they all retreated.

But seeing Xu Chu and Dian Wei behind Cao Cao, they glared at everyone angrily, and the generals hesitated according to their blades. Cao Cao pulled out the Heavenly Sword and held it in his hand and shouted: "The generals retreat and behead the latter!" ”

Cao Junzhong will try to move forward, and Pang De will be defeated and leave. Cao Cao then led the army to turn around and fight Ma Chao, Xu Chu went out to fight Ma Chao, and the two armies fought separately. Cao Cao Zi and Dian Wei immediately stood at Gaofu and watched the battle between the two armies.

Suddenly, a Biao army crashed into the front, led by a white horse and a silver spear, and shouted: "Changshan Zhao Zilong is here!" ”

Zhao Yun drew his bow and arrows and aimed at Cao Cao, Dian Wei saw it earlier and hurriedly blocked in front of Cao Cao. The arrow came out of the string and hit Dian Wei's right arm. Cao Cao was shocked and hurriedly turned his horse back.

Zhao Yun abandoned his bow and spear, and led dozens of Bai Ma Yi to kill Cao Cao from the sudden horse to the mountain. Wherever the silver spear of gentian passed, the roadblockers were all stabbed down.

Seeing Zhao Yun riding his horse and rushing to Cao Cao's approach, Dian Wei waved a pair of big iron halberds and stopped in front of Zhao Yun, shouting: "Stop hurting my lord!" ”

Dian Wei roared hard, Zhao Yun's mount was also startled, the horse raised its front hooves and was about to fall off Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun stepped on the stirrup on the horse to stabilize his body. Dian Wei took the opportunity to swing the big iron halberd and swept towards Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun hurriedly blocked it with a shot.

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. Dian Wei's strange power shocked Zhao Yun, Lu Bu's strength was enough to shock him, Dian Wei was not even inferior to Lu Bu in terms of strength.

Zhao Yun directly used the Seven Probe Snake Coiled Gun to attack Dian Wei, and Dian Wei struggled forward, although he was affected by the gun, he refused to retreat at all. Zhao Yun was a little panicked, he was going to suffer a loss in close combat, so he hurriedly distanced himself from Dian Wei, but fortunately, Dian Wei's equestrian skills were not good and he couldn't keep up with Zhao Yun.

Dian Wei hurriedly pursued, Cao Cao secretly shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly called back to Dian Wei: "Evil is coming!" Don't chase! ”

However, it was already too late, and Zhao Yun saw that the Dian Wei Iron Halberd was about to sweep towards him, so he hurriedly hugged the saddle sideways, turned around and stabbed it with a shot. The shot stabbed straight at Dian Wei's sitting horse, and Dian Wei was overturned to the ground.

Zhao Yun pulled a spear flower and used a hundred birds to shoot at the phoenix spear, and the spear shook out ten gun shadows. Dian Wei was shocked and hurriedly resisted with a halberd, but he was still shot twice.

Blood flowed down Dian Wei's armor, and Zhao Yun completely angered Dian Wei, who waved a pair of large iron halberds to fight Zhao Yun in steps, allowing the wounds on his body to spread.

That was Dian Wei's old injury, and since Dian Wei fought with Cao Cao, he had suffered countless injuries on his body. Especially in the battle of Wancheng, if Xu Chu hadn't come to the rescue in time, Dian Wei would have died in Wancheng.

At this time, the old wounds were connected to the new ones, and the pain had made Dian Wei lose his mind. Dian Wei abandoned his defense and attacked Zhao Yun frantically. Zhao Yun had no choice but to retreat again and again, Zhao Yun saw that Dian Wei was so willing to sacrifice his life and forget about death, and hurriedly wanted to get out and leave.

Several white horses rushed forward to stop Dian Wei, but as soon as they rushed to Dian Wei's approach, they were swallowed up by Dian Wei's big iron halberd. Dian Wei rushed forward and jumped up vigorously, and the big iron halberd swung at Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun shot again, stabbing straight into the arrow in Dian Wei's right arm.

Zhao Yun took out his spear and challenged Dian Wei again, and Dian Wei held a halberd in his left hand to resist. Dian Wei was in pain, screamed, pulled out his right arm and threw an arrow at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun hurriedly dodged, and swept away with a shot at Dian Wei.

Dian Wei chased Zhao Yun for hundreds of steps with serious injuries, and finally collapsed due to physical exhaustion. Cao Cao urgently ordered Zhu Ling, Zhang He and other generals to rescue, and finally rescued Dian Wei.

Dian Wei retreated from Zhao Yun and kept Cao Cao forward. Ma Chao had led the army to retreat at this time, and Cao Cao returned to the village with the seriously injured Dian Wei and hurriedly found a military medical officer to treat him.

The medical officer took off Dian Wei's armor and shirt, and everyone found that Dian Wei's body was covered with new wounds and old wounds, and old injuries surrounded by new injuries. All the generals wept for it, and Dian Wei is now over sixty years old, and he is still fighting for Yu Yong.

Cao Cao remembered Yang Xiu's words, and immediately ordered someone to take Yang Xiu's body back for burial, so he ordered the army to be a teacher, but taught Xu Chu to break off. Dian Wei lay in the felt car, and the tiger army escorted him.

Suddenly, it was reported that fires broke out on both sides of the mountain in the valley, and the ambush soldiers came, and everyone in Cao was frightened. It turned out that Cao Cao retreated to the valley, and Zhuge Liang expected that he would abandon Hanzhong and leave, so he sent Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and other generals to divide his troops into more than ten roads and attack from time to time.

Therefore, Cao Cao could not be stationed here for a long time, Dian Wei was seriously injured by Zhao Yun, and Cao Cao was in a hurry. The three armies were exhausted. The front team just left, and the two fires broke out, and it was Ma Chao's ambush soldiers who chased after them. Cao Bing was terrified. Cao Cao ordered the sergeants to hurry up, running day and night, until Jingzhao, before they could feel at ease.

Cao Cao was forced to abandon Hanzhong and withdraw his army to the front line of Chang'an. Cao Cao was afraid that after the withdrawal of the army, Liu Du occupied Hanzhong and took Wudu Di to invade Guanzhong in the north. So he ordered Yongzhou Assassin Shi Zhang to go to Wudu and migrate more than 50,000 Di people to live in Fufeng County and Tianshui County.

Liu Du sent Yidu Taishou Meng Da to attack Fangling from Zigui to the north, and Meng Da marched to attack and kill Cao Cao's Taishou Kuaiqi. Liu Du immediately ordered his eldest son Liu Xian to go down the river from Hanzhong and lead Meng Da to attack Shangyong. Shangyong Taishou Shen Tan surrendered, Liu Du added the title of Shen Tan to conquer the northern general, led Shangyong Taishou, and still made it guard Shangyong.

Liu Du Anmin has decided, the three armies are rewarded, and the people's hearts are happy. So all the generals had the heart to respect Liu Du as the king, but they didn't dare to start playing directly, but they came to tell Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang smiled: "My intention has been decided. ”

Zhuge Liang immediately introduced Fa Zheng, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Li Yan and others to Liu Du and said: "Today, Cao Cao is autocratic, and the people have no owner; The lord's benevolence and righteousness are written in the world, and now there are two rivers in the land, and you can respond to the Tianshun people, that is, the Han throne, and the name is right, in order to please the national thief, without further ado, please choose auspicious. ”

Liu Du was overjoyed in his heart, but he pretended to be surprised, and said: "The words of the military advisor are bad. Although Liu Du is a member of the Han clan, he is also a courtier; If you only claim the king on this matter, you are anti-Han. ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said, "Definitely." Fang fell apart today, heroes rose together, each dominating one side, talented and virtuous people from all over the world, and those who sacrificed their lives to do things on it, all wanted to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix to establish fame. Now the lord avoids suspicion and righteousness, and is afraid of losing the hope of everyone. May the Lord ponder it. ”

Although Liu Du waited for this day for a long time, he still pretended to excuse himself and said: "If I want to occupy the throne, I will not dare." The long-term policy can be discussed again. ”

At this time, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun said in unison: "If the lord only pushes back, everyone will be relieved." ”

Jia Xu spoke at this time: "Doesn't the lord remember the alliance of Gaozu and White Horses?" 'If it is not the Liu family and the king, the world will fight it together!' Today, Cao Cao called the King of Wei, is to destroy the oath of the ancestors, the lord is the surname of 'Liu', and is a relative of the Han family, his life is based on righteousness, and now there are Jing, Xiang, and the land of the two rivers, and he is a hero. can be temporarily the king of Hanzhong, and call on the righteous people of the world to fight against Cao thief, then the great cause can be accomplished! ”

Fa Zheng also persuaded: "What Jia Wenhe said is extremely true, I hope that the lord will not worry about it, and enter the king of Hanzhong!" ”

The ministers of the hall seconded the proposal, and Liu Du said: "Although you want to respect me as the king, you can't make an edict from the Son of Heaven, and you are arrogance." ”

Zhuge Liang persuaded: "It is advisable to follow the power today, and not to stick to common sense." ”

Ma Chao bowed and said: "The name of the lord's benevolence is broadcast in the world, and I, Ma Chao, am willing to join hands with all the officials to show the Son of Heaven and respect the lord as the king!" ”

Zhuge Liang said at this time: "It is not too late for the lord to change from the power, to become the king of Hanzhong first, and then to play the Son of Heaven." ”

Liu Du listened to Zhuge Liang's suggestion, so he proclaimed himself the king of Hanzhong, and told Emperor Xian of Han with Ma Chao and other hundred officials on the joint name, set up an mandala in Weiyang, gathered the ministers and soldiers, worshiped the seal, the crown, that is, the throne, and his eldest son Liu Xian was the prince, and the vassals were feudal, Xu Jing was the prince, Fa Zheng was the Shang Shuling, Zhao Yun was the former general, Pan Feng was the right general, Ma Chao was the left general, and Zhang Ren was the rear general.

After the reward was completed, Jia Xu stepped forward and said: "Lord, Hanzhong has just come down, and a general must be sent to guard Cao Cao!" ”

So everyone discussed, some recommended Pan Feng, and some recommended Zhang Ren, and everyone had different opinions. But seeing Liu Du smiling and not speaking, Fa Zheng asked, "Could it be that the lord has a candidate in his heart?" ”

Liu Du smiled: "Those who know me are filial piety!" ”

Liu Du asked Pang De to come out of the ranks, promoted Pang De to the governor of Hanzhong and the Taishou of Hanzhong in public, and promoted Pang De from General Yamen to General Zhenyuan. The whole army was shocked when they heard this, and even Ma Chao, the old master of Pound, was puzzled.

One day, Liu Du met the ministers and asked Pang Dedao: "Ling Ming, I have entrusted you with a heavy task today, what do you have to say to the officials?" ”

Pang Delang replied: "If Cao Cao uses the strength of the country to invade Hanzhong, I will please be the king; If Cao Cao only sends a partial general with an army of 100,000, I will swallow it for the king. ”

Liu Du was very satisfied after hearing this, and laughed and said: "Pang Lingming is really heroic!" ”

The ministers also praised Pound's words, and Ma Chao and Ma Dai were also very happy for Pound.
