Let's say that Zhuge Liang led his troops to Chuyang, and news came from Xiping Pass: the guard general Huo Jun died of illness.

"Xiping Pass cannot afford to be lost, Huo Junzhi's talent is probably incomparable, who dares to guard Xiping Pass?" Zhuge Liang didn't have time to grieve, and asked the generals urgently.

I saw a small general in the squad come out and bowed: "The last general, Luo Meng, is willing to beg 5,000 elite soldiers to guard Xiping Pass." ”

Zhuge Liang allocated 5,000 elite soldiers to Luo Meng, and ordered him to rush to Xiping Pass to guard. Then Zhuge Liang discussed with the generals to enter the army.

Suddenly, the whistle horse came to report: "Cao Rui, the lord of Wei, sent a horse Xiahou Nan to transfer the military horses of the Central Road to resist the enemy." ”

Pang De made a suggestion: "Xiahou Nan is a child of anointed sorghum, cowardly and unscrupulous. The last general is willing to get 5,000 elite soldiers, take the road out of Baozhong, follow the east of the Qinling Mountains, and throw himself north when the Meridian Valley, but in ten days, he can go to Chang'an. If Xiahou heard that a certain sudden arrival, he would inevitably abandon the city and look at the Hengmen Mansion and leave. A certain came from the east, and the prime minister could drive troops and horses from the valley: if this is done, the west of Xianyang can be determined in one fell swoop. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "This is not a foolproof plan. Thou hast deceived that there are no good people in the Central Plains, and if anyone speaks and kills them with troops in the mountains, not only 5,000 people will suffer, but they will also be greatly injured. Never available. ”

Pang De also said: "The prime minister's troops march from the main road, and he will do his best to meet the enemy on the road: it will be protracted, when will he go to the Central Plains to join His Majesty?" ”

Zhuge Liang still refused to take the risk: "I take a flat road from Longyou and march in accordance with the law, why worry about victory!" ”

As Han Xuan expected, Zhuge Liang really vetoed the Meridian Valley conspiracy as in the original history, and then sent someone to order Ma Chao to enter the army.

Xiahou Nan gathered military horses from all walks of life in Chang'an. It just so happened that there was Han De, the general of Xiliang, who was good at opening the mountain with a big axe, and had the courage of ten thousand people, leading 30,000 soldiers from Xiqiang to arrive. When Xiahou Nan saw it, he rewarded Han De and sent him as a pioneer.

Han De has four sons, all of whom are proficient in martial arts and are excellent at bows and horses: the eldest son Han Ying, the second son Han Yao, the third son Han Qiong, and the fourth son Han Qi. Han De took his four sons and 30,000 Xiqiang soldiers to take the road to Fengming Mountain, where he encountered Zhuge Liang's army.

The two formations are in circles, Han De is out of the horse, and the four sons are lined up on both sides. Han De scolded loudly: "The thief who is against the country, dare to violate my realm!" ”

Ma Chao was furious, raised his spear and rode the horse, and fought Han and Germany alone. The eldest son, Han Ying, came to greet him with a prancing horse; The battle was not three-in-one, and he was stabbed to death by Ma Chao under the horse. When the second son Han Yao saw it, he swung his horse and waved his sword to fight. Ma Chao was vigorous to face the battle, and Han Yao couldn't resist the enemy. The third son, Han Qiong, rushed to attack with a crescent halberd. Ma Chao is not afraid at all, and his marksmanship is still sharp.

The fourth son, Han Qi, saw that the two brothers couldn't fight Ma Chao, so they also came with two sun and moon knives and surrounded Ma Chao, and Ma Chao fought alone in the center of the three generals. Not long after, Han Qi was shot and fell off his horse, and Han De's generals hurriedly killed him to save him.

Ma Chao dragged the gun and left, Han Qiong held down the crescent halberd, and hurriedly took a bow and arrow to shoot Ma Chao, and released three arrows in a row, but Ma Chao used a gun to shoot them down. Han Qiong was furious, but still rushed over with a crescent halberd; was shot in the face by Ma Chao with an arrow and fell off the horse and died.

Han Yao raised the sword to cut Ma Chao, Ma Chao abandoned the gun to the ground, flashed the knife, captured Han Yao alive and returned to the battle, and then took the gun and killed him. Han De saw that his four sons were all killed at the hands of Ma Chao, and his liver and gall were broken, so he fled into the battle first.

Xiliang soldiers know the name of Ma Chao, but now that Ma Chao is still heroic, who dares to fight with him? The horses were all over the place, and they retreated. The horse is more than a horse with a single gun, and the back and forth conflicts, such as entering a no-man's land.

Seeing that Ma Chao had won a big victory, Pang De led his troops to cover up and kill, and the Xiliang soldiers were defeated and left. Han De was almost caught by Ma Chao and abandoned his armor and fled on foot.

Ma Chao and Pang De collected their troops and returned to the village, and Pang De praised: "The general's demeanor has not diminished back then. Today's battle to kill four generals, rare in the world! ”

Ma Chao said with a smile: "I have martial arts and bravery, not as good as Ling Mingye." I heard that Lingming offered the Meridian Valley a conspiracy today, but unfortunately the prime minister was too cautious in using troops and did not accept it. If Your Majesty is here, I am afraid that he has already followed the order. ”

Pang De sighed, Ma Chao didn't have time to enlighten him, so he sent someone to escort Han Yao, declare the letter of victory, and send it to Zhuge Liang.

Han De led the defeated army back to see Xiahou Nan, and Xiahou Nan personally commanded the troops to meet Ma Chao. Tanma reported to Ma Chaodazhai and said that Xiahou Nan led troops. Ma Chao mounted the horse and speared, led more than 1,000 soldiers, and formed a formation in front of Fengming Mountain.

On that day, Xiahou Nan wore a golden helmet, sat on a white horse, carried a big knife, and stood under the door flag. Seeing Ma Chao prancing on his horse and holding a gun, galloping back and forth, ready to face the battle in person.

Han De said angrily: "How can you not avenge the revenge of killing my four sons!" ”

Han De opened the mountain with a big axe and took Ma Chao directly. Ma Chao came with a gun, but he couldn't fight Sanhe, the gun started, stabbed Han De to death under the horse, and Ma Chao hurriedly dialed the horse to take Xiahou Nan. Xiahou Nan hurriedly flashed into the formation. Pang De drove the troops to cover the killing, and the Wei soldiers folded for a while, retreating more than ten miles to the village.

Xiahou Nan discussed with the generals overnight: "I have heard the name of Ma Chao for a long time, but I have never met him, and today I know his bravery." It seems that no one is invincible, so what can I do? ”

At this time, Cheng Yu's son Cheng Wu offered a plan: "A certain material Ma Chao is brave and unstrategic, so there is no need to worry." In the coming day, the governor will lead the troops out again, and ambush the two armies on the left and right; The governor retreated first and lured the horse to the ambush; The governor climbed the mountain and commanded the military horses on all sides, overlapping and surrounding, and the horses could be captured. ”

Xiahou Nan listened to his plan, so he sent Dong Xi to lead 30,000 troops to ambush on the left, and Xue Ze to lead 30,000 troops to ambush on the right. The ambush of the two has been decided.

The next day, Xiahou Nan gathered golden drums and banners again and led his troops to march. Ma Chao and Pang De came out to greet him, and Pang De said to Ma Chao on the horse: "The Wei soldiers were defeated last night and left, and when they come back today, there will be fraud." The general defends it. ”

Ma Chao straightened his chest and smiled: "Even if Xiahoudun is resurrected, he is not an opponent." Measure this milky child, what a way! I will capture him today! ”

After Ma Chao finished speaking, he jumped out of the horse. Wei General Pan went out to meet him, but he couldn't fight three times, and he turned his horse and left. Ma Chao rushed to meet the eight members of the Wei army. Let go of Xiahou Nan and go first, and the eight generals will run one after another.

Ma Chao took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and Pang De led troops to continue to follow. Ma Chao went deep into the heavy ground, only to hear the shouts from all sides, Pang De hurriedly collected the army and retreated, with Dong Xi on the left and Xue Ze on the right, and the two soldiers were killed.

Pang De had few soldiers and could not be rescued. Ma Chao was trapped in the heart of the city, rushing east and west, and the Wei soldiers were getting thicker and thicker. At this time, there were more than 1,000 people under Ma Chao, and they killed under the hillside, only to see Xiahou Nan commanding the three armies on the mountain.

Ma Chao broke through to the east, Xiahou Nan looked to the east, and to the west, he looked to the west, so Ma Chao could not break through, so he led his troops up the mountain. In the middle of the mountain, the wooden cannon stone will come down, and Ma Chao can't go up the mountain.

At this time, the drums in front of the mountain shook loudly, the arrows and stones were like rain, and the Wei soldiers were killed, shouting: "Ma Chao descended early!" ”

The Wei army on all sides gradually approached Ma Chao, and crossbow arrows were fired from all directions, and Ma Chao's subordinates could not move forward.

Ma Chao sighed: "I will die here today!" ”

Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the northeast corner, and the Wei soldiers rushed one after another. When the Biao army arrived, the general headed by the Qinglong Yanyue knife was held, and a human head was hung under the horse's neck. Ma Chao looked at it, and it turned out that Guan Ping led the army to kill.

Guan Ping saw Ma Chao and said: "The prime minister is afraid that the general will lose, so he will send 5,000 soldiers to respond." General Wen was trapped, so he killed through the siege. was blocked by Wei general Xue Ze and was killed by someone. ”

Ma Chao was overjoyed, and then he and Guan Ping came out of the northwest corner. I saw that the Wei soldiers abandoned Ge and ran, and a Biao army horse shouted from outside to kill in, and the leader was Guan Xing, Guan Xing beheaded the Wei general Dong Xi and broke the army to kill.

At this time, Pang De also led the army to meet Ma Chao and others, Ma Chao looked at Guan Xing and Guan Ping and said: "The two generals have done miraculous feats, why not take advantage of today to capture Xiahou Nan to set a big deal?" ”

When Guan Ping and Guan Xing heard this, they each led their troops to go, and Ma Chao said to Pang De: "The two of them are my sons and nephews, and they are still competing for the first; The two of us are national generals and former ministers of the court, aren't we so young? ”

The four-way soldiers attacked, broke the Wei army, killed corpses all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river. Xiahou Nan saw that the army was in chaos, so he led more than 100 generals to look at Nan'an County and leave. When all the armies saw that the Lord would abandon their armies, they all fled.

Guan Xing and Guan Ping, the second generals, heard that Xiahou Nan was looking at Nan'an County, and rushed to come overnight. Xiahou Nan walked into the city, ordered the soldiers to close the city gates, and drove the troops to defend the city.

Guan Xing and Guan Ping arrived and surrounded the city, Ma Chao and Pang De also arrived, and the army besieged the city for ten days in a row, but it still couldn't be attacked. Suddenly reported that Zhuge Liang left the rear army to be stationed in Chuyang, the left army Tunyangping, and the right army Tunshicheng, and led the Chinese army to come. Ma Chao and other generals came to ask Zhuge Liang and said that they could not attack the city for days.
