Chapter 188: Ma Chao Defeated and Fled
Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He led the army to Jicheng to save Yang Fu and others.
Xiahou Yuan asked, "Jun Yi, Xiliang Junyong, what is the winning strategy?" ”
Zhang Heyan said, "The front came to report, Jicheng was recaptured, Ma Chao's army camped and attacked the city, they were deceived out of the city, and the military food was limited." If it cannot be attacked in these days, the army will be chaotic if there is no food. ”
Xiahou Yuan was very pleased when he heard this, and hurriedly led his troops to Jicheng.
Jicheng
Ma Chao attacked for several days, but still could not break the city, Yang Ang learned that the army was about to run out of food, and he would definitely not be able to fight again, so he said to him, "I am not staying here, I will lead the troops back to Hanzhong." ”
Ma Chao dissuaded him and let him stay for a few days, and he would definitely be able to break the city, and Yang Ang agreed for the time being.
"Report! The rear Cao army is coming! At this point, the spies returned.
Yang Ang didn't hear it well, "The reinforcements of the Cao army are here, it will be difficult to fight, and we will withdraw the army as soon as possible." ”
Ma Chao said, "Just in time, the reinforcements of the Cao army have arrived, Yang Fu and Jiang Xu in the city will definitely go out of the city to besiege, they can't defend the city, if they go out of the city to fight, it is to give me a chance." ”
Then let Pang De and Ma Dai deal with the army of Jicheng, go to meet the Cao army by themselves, and wait for their defeat of the Cao army, and then lead the troops to attack the Jicheng army and rush into the city.
Ma Chao led his troops to face Xiahou Yuan's army, and the shouts in front of him shook the sky and the dust was flying.
"Ahead is Ma Chao!" Xiahou Yuan said to Zhang He.
Zhang Heyan: "I have a plan. "Fight!"
Ma Chao wanted to rush forward to meet the enemy general, but when he saw the other party's soldiers in formation, he was a little vigilant and did not dare to enter.
"Let them see the courage of the Xiliang Army, rush!" Ma Chao gave an order, and the Xiliang army, led by cavalry, rushed forward, and the infantry army then rushed up.
Zhang He knew about this group of Xiliang troops before he came, most of them were Qiang people without a group, and their discipline was limited. This time, he led the army to Guanzhong for a generation, not only to defeat Ma Chao and rescue Jicheng.
"The crossbow team prepares, the archer team covers."
In front of the battle, groups of crossbowmen took out strong crossbows, and the rear archers first dropped arrows to interfere with the Xiliang iron cavalry, and the crossbowmen fired strong crossbows in succession, shooting down the Qiang cavalry, and the Xiliang vanguard front army shot down one by one.
Zhang Heyan said, "In the previous battle, the lord had already had a strategy to deal with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and this time I was ordered to take down the entire Xiliang!" ”
Ma Chao knew that this Qiang soldier was not as reliable as his own Xiliang army, but he didn't expect such a fiasco.
"Rush!" Xiahou Yuan shouted, and the momentum of the army was greatly boosted at this time, and he rushed to the Xiliang soldiers who fell to the ground.
Ma Chao rushed forward with a gun and faced Xiahou Yuan, "Come to fight!" ”
Xiahou Yuan swung his knife and slashed from the side, Ma Chao blocked it with a horizontal gun, bent the gun on the side of both arms, pressed the knife down, and swung the tip of the spear smoothly, slashing Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan leaned back to dodge, Ma Chao slapped the horse and rushed forward, stabbing away, Xiahou Yuan was busy blocking, so he ran away, Ma Chao chased all the way, and he couldn't hurt him.
Zhang He rushed over, "I'm here to help you!" ”
The stabbing spear attacked Ma Chao and went down the road, Ma Chao saw that there was another general, so he had to defend and fight, and Xiahou Yuan followed Zhang He and the two to counterattack and chase Ma Chao.
During the battle, Ma Dai and Pang De in the rear led the troops over, "Brother, there are reinforcements!" Evacuate! ”
Zhang He first divided his troops to the upper and lower cities of Jicheng, converged with the county guards there, and came head-on, they rescued Jicheng from top to bottom, and then attacked Ma Chao's army from behind.
Ma Chao learned that the three armies were besieging the battle, and he couldn't win anything, so he had to withdraw his troops and flee here.
Ma Dai and Pang De came to rescue Ma Chao, who was entangled by Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He, and the three of them led the remnants of the army here and followed Yang Ang to Hanzhong.
Zhang He stopped Xiahou Yuan, "General Mo chase, let them go." The purpose of this trip is not to remove Ma Chao. ”
Subsequently, the two went to Jicheng, appeased everyone, asked Jiang Xu to lead troops to guard each city, and drove Yang Fu to Xu Du to guard the reward. Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He led a large army to attack Longyou and pacify Xiliang.
Yizhou, Fuguan
Since Liu Bei entered here, Liu Zhang entertained and held banquets for several days to talk, and talked about the retreat of Yizhou from the enemy.
Under Liu Zhang, Liu Bi, Zhang Ren, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian never left their bodies, beware of Liu Bei's murder.
One day, Shi Yue said that Meng Da and they were looking for him, and immediately went to see him, and in a room, he saw Meng Da, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Liu Feng and others waiting for him.
What are you going to do? Do you act in a crowd?
Meng Dayan said, "Strategist, you are here!" ”
Meng Da said to Shi Yue, "There will be a banquet tonight, we can ambush the sword and axe man behind, and the military division will be the number, and we will order Liu Zhang to be killed, and Yizhou will be taken!" ”
You guys? Don't drag me when you get into the water, okay. Shi Yue asked, "Is this what the lord said?" ”
Liu Fengyan said, "My father didn't say it, but such a good opportunity, I can't miss it again, I have news, and Liu Zhang will return to Chengdu tomorrow." Tonight we have to do it. ”
The boss didn't say anything, what are you busy with. "Since the lord has not given the order, we must not move lightly, for you are trying to trap the lord in injustice. If it is to be done, I will tell the lord now. ”
When Liu Feng, Meng Da and others heard this, they looked displeased and dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to disobey. Liu Feng, Meng Da and others left.
What's the matter...... Shi Yue asked Wei Yan, who was still in the same place, "Wen Chang, you also agreed?" ”
Wei Yan said, "They called me to come, and I came." ”
Bastard! Actually compete with me for the bastard position, I'm the biggest bastard here! Shi Yue suddenly realized that he was suddenly troubled. In the past, what do you like to do, Lao Tzu just stood aside and applauded. Why?
"Wen Chang, if Liu Feng and them want to dance the sword at the banquet tonight, you will also dance the sword and stop them, don't let them do it." Shi Yue said distraughtly.
"Try your best." Wei Yan responded lightly.
Tonight, at the feast.
Liu Zhang and Liu Bei sat at the front, and the rest would sit on the left and right.
Liu Bei said, "Tomorrow, my brother will return to Chengdu, I will send a cup again!" ”
Liu Zhang was overjoyed and went back respectfully, "Brother, when I see him today, I know what virtue is, but unfortunately Chengdu is busy with affairs and can't stay for a long time, so I'll see you again in the future." ”
The two said a word and talked happily.
Liu Zhang's four generals looked at Liu Bei's soldiers with vigilant expressions, Shi Yue didn't want to come, he basically didn't have the previous banquet, so he didn't like to come to participate in these, it was all nonsense, or a toast. But today's Hongmen banquet, if you don't come, something will really happen, it will be complicated.
Liu Feng got up at this time, drew his sword and stepped forward, "There is no joy in the feast, I wish to dance the sword for the play!" ”
When Zhang Ren and the others saw it, they immediately got up, "I'm too!" ”
The two also danced the sword, and a spy came to report, and wrote to Liu Zhang.
Shi Yue was stunned, what's the situation?
Liu Zhang saw it and was shocked, "Zhang Lu straightens out the soldiers and horses, and he will offend my realm!" ”
Liu Zhang looked at the letter with Liu Bei, Liu Bei looked at the handwriting on it, and frowned, "Brother, don't panic, I am willing to lead troops to Jiamengguan to guard against Zhang Lu, this is the purpose of this trip." ”
Liu Zhang was overjoyed, thanked him, the banquet ended, and the two left.
After Liu Bei went back, he asked Liu Feng, what are you going to do at today's banquet? Liu Bei had already seen that Liu Feng had other plans for the sword dance, although he didn't have a chance to start.
Liu Feng didn't dare to hide it and said it bluntly.
Liu Bei looked at everyone, glanced at it, and waited for what he thought, and wore it at a glance. "Tomorrow we will leave for Jiameng Pass, and if there are other actions related to me in the future, you will inform me." Let's go.
Shi Yue didn't panic at all, he didn't think so, Liu Bei must have seen it. Back then, in Cao Cao's place, everyone had any ideas, Cao Cao knew everything, you thought you could deceive him. Not to mention Liu Bei, who is better than Cao Cao.
Liu Zhang returned home and asked Fa Zheng, "Today's letter was written by filial piety, did Zhang Lu really come to commit it?" ”
Fa Zheng replied, "It will definitely come, it's just a matter of time or time." ”
Liu Zhang said, "Xuande is a benevolent and righteous person, and today's banquet is not dangerous. ”
Fa Zhengdao "must not be guarded, this time Liu Bei went to Jiameng Pass, and the lord should order to guard the passes everywhere to prevent the Xuande mutiny." ”
Liu Zhang didn't obey, and he couldn't resist Fazheng's advice, so he ordered Yang Huai and Gao Pei, the governors of Baishui, to guard the Fushui Pass.
Liu Zhang went back to Chengdu by himself, and Xuande went to Jiameng Pass, strictly forbidding sergeants and giving favors to win the hearts of the people.
