In 196 A.D., in October of the third year of Han Xingping, the war clouds of the land of Bingzhou, which were about to be approaching by the snowstorm, began to gather slowly.

On the tenth day of October, the last support soldier of Shu State, the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade and the 15th Infantry Division led by Gao Shun escorted 100,000 stone grain and grass to Pingding. By this time, the Shu Kingdom around Pingding had gathered 110,000 troops, and transported enough grain and grass to Pingding for half a year before the heavy snow closed the road. Although Liu Zhang's order to Shan Fu was to focus on defense, but blind passive defense was not Shan Fu's love, after consulting the opinions of Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and others, on this day ordered the Gao Shun Infantry Independent Brigade to cross the North Mountain, conquer Yuan Shaojun's forward position Lou Fu overnight, and behead more than 3,000. Then, the 1st Cavalry Division, together with the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade, galloped to Yuanxian County, and after a night of rapid marching, it arrived at Yuanxian at *1 hour. The sky is beautiful, this morning, the first snow since the beginning of winter fell in Bingzhou, the temperature dropped sharply, the defending city Yuan Jun cursed God in the wind and snow, unaware, a group of troops in white cloaks were quietly approaching. It was the five hundred pioneers led by Hua Xiong himself, in order not to startle the snake, Hua Xiong asked the five hundred pioneers to all mouth titles, Mahler mouths, and hoof wraps, leaving the wind and snow cover to approach quietly, until only two hundred zhang away from the city gate, the defenders were shocked.

Suddenly, hearing the sound of Jin Ming warning at the head of the city, Hua Xiong knew that his whereabouts had been discovered, spit out the copper coin in his mouth, picked up the long knife and shouted "Kill" The horse galloped, and the five hundred soldiers behind him shouted in unison, and followed Hua Xiong to the city gate to assault. The main force of the 1st Cavalry Division, which was about two miles behind the forward, heard the shouts of killing, and no longer hid its tracks, and galloped towards it.

The distance of two hundred zhang is a blink of an eye for the cavalry, and the stunned soldiers did not even have time to close the city gate, so they were rushed to the front by Hua Xiong, only to see Hua Xiong's hand raise and fall, and three enemy heads rose to the sky.

The soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division, who poured into the city gate like a tide, only took a moment to kill all the 100 enemies protecting the city gate, and none of them escaped the net, and the price paid by the 1st Cavalry Division was only three killed and six wounded.

According to the intelligence, there were 5,000 enemy troops stationed in the city of Yuanxian County, and Hua Xiong knew that it was impossible to destroy so many enemies with his 500 forwards, and his top priority at this time was to hold the city gates, and wait until the main force arrived, and then clear the enemy in the city.

Hua Xiong gave the order, and the soldiers dismounted one after another and built a simple defense line at the city gate.

In fact, Hua Xiong's caution is a little redundant, the city guard of the county is called Zhao Rui, who is holding a twenty-eight-year-old girl in his tent to seek warmth, and when he is woken up by his own soldiers, after he is put on it, the main force of the first cavalry division has already rushed into the city.

Zhao Rui listened to the rumbling hooves of horses in the city and the screams that seemed to be everywhere, shouted "It's over", and led more than 100 personal soldiers to flee to the east gate like a lost dog.

Yuan Jun saw that the main general had fled, where did he still have the heart to fight, and they followed suit, and in a blink of an eye, more than 2,000 enemies fled out of the city. After the enemy in the city barely resisted for a while, they gave up their resistance when they felt abandoned.

Although Zhao Rui escaped from the city, but the danger did not disappear, if he fought with the first cavalry division in the city, even if he would eventually fail, but as long as he made good use of the geographical advantages and attacked the cavalry with limited mobility, there was a chance to defeat the first cavalry division, but he chose to give up and escape without thinking about it after the first cavalry division entered the city, which brought him and his troops into the abyss! In the open field, how could the infantry outrun the cavalry on two legs? When Hua Xiong learned that a large number of enemy troops had fled from the city, he immediately organized a thousand cavalry in pursuit. The first cavalry division, under the leadership of Hua Xiong, picked up a spear and stabbed these enemy soldiers one by one from behind, and the process was even simpler than ordinary training. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the remaining 500 or so fleeing enemies raised their hands in horror.

What disappointed Hua Xiong was that after identifying the prisoner and the corpse, he did not find any trace of Zhao Rui.

In the first battle with Yuan Shao, the Shu army won a complete victory, conquered two county seats, killed 5,100 enemy troops, captured 2,800 prisoners, and paid only 267 killed and more than 430 wounded. As a bridgehead, Yuan Shao hoarded a lot of grain, grass and weapons in the two county towns, and after counting, a total of 34,000 stones of grain and grass, more than 50,000 arrows, and some armor, spears, shields and other things, but the amount of gold and silver seized was very small, I don't know whether Yuan Shaojun was too poor, or some other reason.

After the two counties were conquered, Shan Fu immediately ordered a brigade of the 16th Infantry Division to take over the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade to garrison Loufu, and another brigade of the 16th Division and the 4th Independent Cavalry Brigade to defend and pacify.

Shan Fu, who entered the county, immediately ordered the Fourth Praetorian Division, the Fifth Cavalry Division, and the Twelfth Infantry Division to build a defensive line relying on the ruins of the Great Wall of King Wuling of Zhao.

After more than 500 years of wind and snow erosion, the Great Wall of King Zhao Wuling is now only a low and fragile earthen barrier and a small number of ruins. Ma Chao pulled off a piece of rammed earth from the earthen ram, as if he wanted to feel the majesty of King Zhao Wuling's northern pursuit of the Huns from the inside.

Yu Ban looked at the withered yellow weeds in the distance and said: "Meng Qi, the ancestor of the Ma family, Xinxihou Xihou rode in the west, and Jiaozhi in the south, and the name of Ma Fubo has been admired by the world, but Lingzu has conquered the east and west for a lifetime, defeating the Qiang people, the Yue people, and the barbarians, but I think that the new Xihou may always have a regret in his heart, because throughout his life, the Xinxihou who has realized the ambition of the horse leather shroud and the immortal bed has never been able to fight with the Huns, the first enemy of my Han Dynasty!" But I believe that soon, the regrets of the new Marquis will be filled by Meng Qi! ”

Zhao Yun followed: "The ancestor of the Ma family is the famous general Zhao Hao of Zhao State, Zhao Hao attacked Qi in the east, resisted the tyranny of Qin in the north, worked hard, and gave the name Ma Fujun after his death, and the descendants of Zhao Hao took Ma as the surname, Ma first had the ancestor Ma Fujun, and then Ma Fubo, and now there is General Meng Qi, and the Ma family can be described as a table of loyalty and martyrdom for thousands of years!" Today, General Meng Qi returned to his ancestral homeland to fight against Yuan Shao, and Yun believes that the glory of the Ma family will be enhanced again in General Meng Qi! ”

Ma Chao was happy in his heart, but said calmly: "This is all the work of the ancestors, Chao, as a descendant of the Ma family, can only be diligent and self-reliant, and strive not to fall into the name of the ancestors, which will make the Ma family ashamed!" With that, he threw the rammed earth in his hand into the grass and muttered: "Huns? I hope that after defeating Yuan Shao, the prince will be able to give me this opportunity! "Since stepping into the state, Ma Chao has fought with the Huns, but these Xiongnu tribes stranded in the state are very small, not a real battle at all, in the eyes of him and Yu Ban and Zhao Yun, there has been a real war with the Huns in the history books of the grassland and opening up territory for Dashu!

……

Zhao Rui fled back to the Yin Pavilion in embarrassment, Yuan Shao learned that Lou Fu and Yuan County were lost overnight, you can imagine how angry he will be, the loss of soldiers, horses, grain and grass is still a subordinate matter, the most angry thing is the problem of face, he personally led the army in Bingzhou, originally wanted to teach Liu Zhang a good lesson, who would have thought that he had not made a move, Liu Zhang had already given him a slap in the face, which made him think that he had a high opinion of himself, how could he endure it?

Yuan Shao, who was furious, ignored the persuasion of everyone, and ordered Zhao Rui to be beheaded by Yuanmen, and then ordered Yan Liang to be the main general and lead an army of 20,000 to recover Yuanxian County.

It was not until Yan Liang led the army to set off, and Yuan Shao's anger subsided a little, so he persuaded Yuan Shao's Shu army to attack Loufu and Yuan Shao this time, and it would not be easy to send the two counties to Yuan Shao again, so he concluded that the main force of the Shu army must march to the two counties at the same time, and it is unlikely that Yan Liang's 20,000 people want to recover Yan County, if the main force of the Shu army arrives in Yan County as he expected, then Yan Liang's troops may even be besieged, and he strongly persuaded Yuan Shao to send elite troops to support Yan Liang. Yuan Shao is not a stupid person, after listening to the words of the frustrated teaching, he secretly reasoned, and immediately decided to send troops to support Yan Liang, as for who to send, of course, the first thing he thought of was Wen Chou, who was as famous as Yan Liang, these two were his most trusted generals, and they always thought that they were right-hand men, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou had a deep personal relationship. However, Wen Chou had already been sent by him to Yuanping to guard Lu Bu, and it was not a moment to rush back, so he had to follow his words and send Zhang He, who he didn't like very much, to lead an army of 30,000 to support Yan Liang.

When it comes to martial arts, Zhang He may not be as good as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but when it comes to arranging troops and anticipating the enemy's opportunities, Yan Liang and Wen Chou can't catch up with Zhang He, it can be said that Zhang He is the first person in Yuan Shao's hands to be both wise and brave. However, Yuan Shao has never liked or trusted Zhang He, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, one of the reasons is because Zhang He is a general, and the other is because Zhang He, like Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, is like the stone in the pit, smelly and hard, and often does all kinds of things when Yuan Shao is excited, which is naturally not liked by the conceited Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao prefers Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who are obedient to him, because no matter what Yuan Shao says, they will implement it to the letter. Similarly, Yuan Shao knew that Fu Zhu and Tian Feng were superior to Xu You, Guo Tu, and Xian Pei, but he also preferred Xu You and others, because they would not disagree with Yuan Shao from time to time. It's like fighting with Liu Zhang this time, which can be said to be related to the future of Yuan Shaojun, but Yuan Shao only let the mastermind stay in Jizhou because Tian Feng said a few words before setting out for the expedition. This is already very good for Tian Feng, who was evaluated by Xun Yu as "just committing a crime" in history, after all, there is no prison! When the war in Jizhou fell into a stalemate, the key to the victory or defeat of the two armies was the support of the rear troops, grain and grass, and Tian Feng completed this task very well. It was precisely because Tian Feng worked hard to raise new soldiers, grain and grass, and sent them to Bingzhou in a steady stream that Yuan Shao was able to block the increasingly powerful Shu army in Bingzhou, and Yuan Shao even praised Tian Feng as his Xiao He. If it weren't for an internal dispute that Yuan Shao sent Tian Feng to prison, maybe Yuan Shao would not have suffered Waterloo in Bingzhou, of course, these are all later stories.
