However, he said that Yang Qiu guarded Huaili, and Xu Huang could not resist it for three consecutive days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Yang Qiu looked forward to Ma Chao's reinforcements day and night. However, Ma Chao fought Cao Cao in Tongguan at this time. Cao Cao insisted on Tongguan and could not win, and Ma Chao could not win. If this continues, even for three months, Ma Chao's army still can't conquer it, and seeing that the supply of grain and grass is not available, the army is gradually retreating. Jia Xu used tricks to take Tongguan several times, but Cao Cao guarded them. Jia Xu said to Ma Chao: "Cao Cao can't fight today, so it's better to retreat first." On the one hand, Chang'an is guarded, and on the other hand, a livelihood is developed in Liangzhou. Ma Chao listened to Jia Xu's words and decided to return to Chang'an three days later. But on the second day, he received a letter from Yang Qiu, bringing bad news about Xiliang, Xu Huang stole to Liangzhou and took advantage of the weakness to capture Liangzhou. The land west of the river belongs to Cao Cao. In order to prevent the morale of the army from being affected, Ma Chao ordered the news to be blocked.

At this time, Cao Cao had to report a long time to Xu Huang. Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "The prime minister first spread the news of Xu Huang's attack on Liangzhou to Ma Chao's army, and the fighting spirit of his army will be dispersed. Cao Cao accepted Guo Jia's words, and ordered Yang Feng to tie the Xiliang military situation to an arrow late at night and shoot it into Ma Chao's camp. Ma Chao's soldiers picked up the arrows and spread them one after another. At dawn the next day, the lieutenant officers and men of Ma Chao's battalion were all talking to each other, and Yanliangzhou had been lost. Ma Chao refuted the rumors several times, but it didn't work. Urgently asked Jia Xu what to do. Jia Xu said: "Stabilize your position first, don't let Cao Cao notice, and then return to Chang'an one after another." Ma Chao was silent, and secretly had transported grain in the name of asking Zhang Xiu to transfer troops and horses back to Chang'an. The next day, Zhang Xiu led a small team of soldiers and horses first. However, there was a detailed work to report the news of Ma Chao's withdrawal from the army. When Cao Cao heard this, he said: "Ma Chao's army is gradually retreating, and I don't know its reality." Guo Jia said: "Ma Chao's retreat from the army will be the collapse of the army's heart." Fighter planes are rare, please take the opportunity to rob the camp. Cao Cao urgently ordered Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Dian Wei to go to rob Ma Chaodazhai in the middle of the night. Late at night, Ma Chao was in the camp discussing with Jia Xu to withdraw from the army. Suddenly, outside the tent, the sound of killing was loud. Ma Chao shouted: "It's not good, Cao Cao knows that there is a change in my rear, so he came to rob the camp." After that, he took the gun out of the account, and met Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie, and Ma Chao ordered Ma Xiu and Ma Tie to protect Jia Xu and fight with Ma Dai. Ma Chao and the others went out of the camp and saw Dian Wei burning the camp. Ma Chao held a gunfight against Dian Wei. Ma Dai hurriedly beckoned the sergeant to meet the enemy. Ma Chaojun's heart has long been broken, and now he has been attacked by Cao's army, and he has no fighting spirit. Countless people have taken advantage of the chaos to escape. Ma Dai had no choice but to move forward with a gun and fight with Ma Chao. Dian Wei was defeated by the two and led the army to retreat slightly. Ma Chao and Ma Dai were defeated in Yan Xing's camp again. When he arrived at Yan Xing's camp, he was meeting Yan Xing's battle against Cao Ren. Ma Chao stepped forward with a gun and retreated Cao Ren. and Yan Xing went to Zhang Xiu's camp. At this time, Zhang Xiu had returned to Chang'an, and the battalion was defended by Ma Chao's deputy general Pang De. It was Cao Hong who attacked Pound's camp. The three of them retreated Cao Hong, and Cao Cao led a large army to arrive. The soldiers and horses in the third battalion of Ma Chao were together and fought with Cao Bing. By the time dawn came, there was not much left of the Xiliang sergeant. Ma Chao and others hurriedly evacuated to Chang'an. Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to pursue and drove Ma Chao and others to the outside of Chang'an City. Fortunately, Zhang Xiubu responded to return to the city, and the 60,000 army was less than 10,000.

Ma Chao ordered the four gates of Chang'an to be guarded. He also sent additional outposts to Liangzhou to inquire about the news. Not long after the outpost went out of the city, he saw Xu Huang coming from the west. It turned out that Xu Huang attacked Huaili City and was defended by Yang Qiu. Yang Qiu saw that Ma Chao's reinforcements had not arrived for a long time, so he sent a letter of assistance to Chang'an. Unexpectedly, he was intercepted by Xu Huang. Xu Huang will plan and pretend to be Ma Chao's reinforcements to open the city gate. Yang Qiu failed to break through the siege, was captured by Xu Huangsheng, and surrendered to Cao's army. Today, only Chang'an is in the hands of Ma Chao. Ma Chao led the army out of the city to meet Xu Huang, Fang Zhi exchanged troops, Cao Cao killed behind him again, two pinching attacks, Ma Chao was defeated and returned to the city. Xu Huang and Cao Cao divided their troops to knock on the city and attack. Ma Chao and others guarded the city gate. Attacking late at night, Cao's army retreated. The soldiers and civilians in the city were full of complaints, morale was low, and many soldiers absconded from the city. Ma Chao was so defeated, the victory and defeat were reversed instantly, and he couldn't help but cry when he thought of revenge. Suddenly, I saw Jia Xu coming, and hurriedly begged Jia Xu for a plan. Jia Xu said: "Today's events are difficult to reverse. To the south of Chang'an, there is a valley called Meridian Valley. You can go to this valley and go to Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu has been operating in Hanzhong for many years, and he has a lot of military rations, so he can use his soldiers to take revenge. Ma Chao had no choice but to decide to retire. The generals were divided into three routes, Yan Xing led the army first, Zhang Xiu intercepted Xu Huang at the west gate, Ma Chao personally arrived at Cao's army, and the remnants of the city were exhausted in the middle of the night and went to the Meridian Valley. Jia Xu said: "If our army retreats, it will be detected by Cao Cao, but the troops can be ambushed outside the city, and if Cao's army comes from it, it can be attacked." ”

It was the night when the city gate of the third watch suddenly opened, and Yan Xing led the army first. There has long been a horse visit to Cao Cao. Cao Cao knew that Ma Chao had broken through, and urgently ordered Xu Huang to send troops to intercept him. Cao Cao also called Cao Ren and Cao Hongzhi, and said to the two: "Ma Chao is trapped in Chang'an, and there is no other way out, so he must go to Hanzhong to cast Zhang Lu." The two of you can each bring your own troops and horses to the south of Chang'an and wait for Ma Chao's army. Cao Ren and Cao Hong took the order and left. Cao Cao raised troops overnight and then went to Chang'an.

said that Yan Xing went first, and Zhang Xiu followed. There are more than 50 miles to the southwest, and Xu Huang is coming. Zhang Xiu lined up the generals and horses, and when Xu Huang arrived, he immediately stopped the fight. In the middle of the night, Zhang Xiu and Xu Huang fought, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. Yan Xing was in the front team, and when he heard about this, he hurriedly asked the deputy general Ma Yu to lead the army first, and he personally went to the rear team to help Zhang Xiu. When he reached the rear army, he saw Zhang Xiu fighting Xu Huang, and Yan Xingce immediately stepped forward to fight Xu Huang. Xu Huang couldn't resist it, and led the army to retreat. Zhang Xiu and Yan Xing saw Xu Huang withdraw their troops and hurriedly followed the army to the Meridian Valley. When he arrived at Meridian Valley, Yan Xing said to Zhang Xiu: "Although Xu Huang has retreated, the eldest brother is outside the city, and you and I still need one person to stay here to meet the eldest brother." Zhang Xiu said: "The second brother can go first, and I will guard this valley." "The two quarreled, but they stayed behind each other; So the lot was decided. Zhang Xiu grabbed a word and answered Ma Chao at the mouth of the valley. At this time, Ma Chao was ambushed outside the gate of Chang'an, waiting for Cao Cao's army to arrive. First an army arrived, Ma Chao wanted to kill, Pang De hurriedly said: "This is Cao Ren and Cao Hongye." You can let it go and fight it again when it passes. Ma Chao held down the Xuantie hussar gun and was silent. Seeing that the second Cao army had passed, Ma Chao shouted loudly and killed from the chaotic stones. Cao Ren and Cao Hong were unable to overtake their horses and went to the southwest. Ma Chao and Pang De chased and killed the past. At this time, Zhang Xiu waited for Ma Chao to arrive at the valley mouth, so he led his troops to the direction of Chang'an. happened to meet Cao Ren and Cao Hong were chased by Ma Chao. Zhang Xiu stopped the two, and Ma Chao also killed. Trapped the two in the heart. Seeing the award, I suddenly saw Cao Cao's army arriving. had a melee with Ma Chao and saved Cao Ren and Cao Hong. Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu had few soldiers and retreated to the Meridian Valley. Cao Cao didn't know the truth in the valley, so he didn't dare to chase after him, so he first collected his troops and reoccupied Chang'an. Since then, the land of Yongliang has been attributed to Cao Cao.

Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu entered the Meridian Valley, looking back at the only more than a thousand soldiers and horses left behind them, and couldn't help but feel sad. Zhang Xiu advised: "Don't be like this, big brother, when you stay in Hanzhong, you will be able to make a comeback." So he accelerated his hurried, caught up with Yan Xing, and went to Hanzhong to see Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu was overjoyed, thinking that if Ma Chao and the three of them were obtained, the west could swallow Yizhou, and the east could reject Cao Cao, so he left Ma Chao and others in Hanzhong as generals. One day outside Hanzhong City, someone asked to see Ma Chao. Ma Chao and the others were in a hurry to see him, but it was Han Sui's brother Han De who led the family to vote. Han De saw Ma Chao and the others, and cried and said: "Xu Huang captured Xiliang, and Cao Cao ordered the arrest of the people in the three mansions of Ma, Han, and Zhang. I saw Cao Jun coming to get people in the house, and I hurriedly escorted General Yan's wife and children out from the back gate. Later, he learned that the three generals had arrived in Hanzhong, so he brought General Yan's family to vote. Zhang Xiu asked anxiously: "I don't know how my uncle's family is?" Han De said: "General Zhang Ji's wife, Zou, is afraid of Cao Jun and has committed herself to serving Cao Ye. Zhang Xiu was ashamed. Ma Chao asked: "I don't know how small the super family is?" Han De said: "There is nothing that can be done about this matter!" Ma Chao was anxious to ask. Han De was helpless and said: "The old and young in the Ma family's mansion are tied up with Cao Cao. Cao Cao saw the young lady, but he was furious and wanted to molest him. The young lady died by hitting the wall in order to save her name. Cao Cao was furious and executed all the people in the house. When Ma Chao heard this, he screamed and fainted. The crowd rushed to wake him up. Ma Chao was bedridden because of this. Unconsciously more than three months, Ma Chao recovered. Zhang Lu learned that he was discussing to recruit Ma Chao as his son-in-law. General Yang Bo admonished: "Ma Chao's wife suffered a tragedy, and Ma Chao was harmed. How can the lord be a woman? Zhang Lu obeyed his words and dismissed the proposal to recruit a son-in-law. Someone informed Ma Chao of Yang Bo's words. Ma Chao was furious and had the intention of killing Uncle Yang. Yang Bozhi discussed with his brother Yang Song, and also had the heart of Tu Ma Chao. Yang Song and others often said that Ma Chao was anti-minded around Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu didn't believe it. Yang Bo and Zhang Luyan said that Sergeant Ma Chao often plundered the people, and the villagers complained. Yang Song took the opportunity to say: "If Ma Chao is left behind, Hanzhong will be in danger." Zhang Lu still didn't believe it.

Suddenly, Ma Chao entered to see Zhang Lu and borrowed troops from Zhang Lu to attack Xiliang. Zhang Lu did not allow it. Ma Chao was displeased, and his face was angry; Zhang Luqizhi. Ma Chao retreated. Yang Song also said that Zhang Lu said: "Ma Chao borrowed soldiers and horses, he must want to rebel." Zhang Lu was unhappy, but believed Yang Song's words and asked: "If this is the case, what should I do?" Yang Song said: "The lord can set up a banquet in the coming day, and invite Ma Chao and the three of them to the banquet." But he buried the knife and axe hand on the left and right first, and secretly ordered to kill during the banquet. Zhang Lu used his strategy. The next day, a banquet was held in the county government, and Ma Chao, Yan Xing, and Zhang Xiu were invited. When the three of them saw that it was Zhang Lu who set up a banquet, they did not have any doubts, and they were all invited. When he arrived outside the hall, the soldier in front of the door said: "When the adults hold a banquet, you can put the weapons outside." Listening to the three sounds of "buzz, buzz, buzz...... three guns, the three of them stuck the three guns outside the hall door, the heads of the guns were submerged in the soil, but the body of the guns was shaking rapidly. Ma Chao entered and greeted Zhang Lu. After the ceremony, the three of them took their seats. After three rounds of drinking, Yang Song signaled to Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu gestured to Uncle Yang with his eyes again. Ma Chao's eye disease was extremely cautious when he saw such a situation. and drank one of each. Yang Bo threw the cup to the ground and shouted, "Catch the thief!" "Five hundred swords and axes came out together. Ma Chao had already taken precautions, and before the knife and axe hand approached, Ma Chao took the copper hammer on his chest and hit seven people at the door of the hall. The seven fell in response. Ma Chao hurried back to the hall gate, pulled up the three iron spears, and threw them at Zhang Xiu and Yan Xing. The three of them each wielded a spear and killed all the five hundred swords and axes. Yang Bo saw that he couldn't take advantage of the chaos to escape, but was seen by Ma Chao. Ma Chao took the copper hammer in his hand again, flew out a hammer, hit Yang Bo's head, and died immediately. Zhang Xiu moved forward with a gun and stabbed Yang Song to death. Yan Xing killed Zhang Lu, pointed the tip of the gun at Zhang Lu, coerced him, and brought him into Ma Chao's military camp. Jia Xu said to Ma Chao: "Today's events are difficult to skip. Why not take this opportunity to seize Hanzhong. Ma Chaoran coerced Zhang Lu to hand over the military power in Hanzhong, and ordered his own soldiers to control all the generals and officials in Hanzhong, but those who did not surrender were all killed. In less than three days, Ma Chao and others collected all the land of Hanzhong. Yan Pu, Yang Ren, Yang Ang and others cast Ma Chao. Ma Chao used Yan Pu to join the army, and Yang Ren and Yang Ang were each lieutenant colonels.

said that Ma Chao won Hanzhong, and Jia Xu persuaded Ma Chao to behead Zhang Lu. Ma Chao said: "We are waiting for the poor to throw themselves into it, and now we have taken away their family business, and it will be a great injustice if we hurt their lives again." Jia Xu said: "Zhang Lu won Hanzhong with five buckets of rice, and he won the hearts of the people in Hanzhong, and he couldn't stay." Ma Chao finally did not want to hurt Zhang Lu's life, but drove Zhang Lu's family out of Hanzhong. Zhang Lu was originally a rice thief in Hanzhong, who occupied Hanzhong for many years, and the imperial court was unable to crusade against him, so he made Hanzhong Yongzhen. Now it is occupied by Ma Chao in Hanzhong, but the foundation has not been lost, his brother Zhang Weizheng is leading troops to garrison Brazil, and there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands. Zhang Lu left Hanzhong and went to Brazil to find his brother. wants to take advantage of his brother's momentum to regain Hanzhong. Zhang Lu met Zhang Wei and told how Ma Chao was arrogant, killing people and seizing the city. Zhang Wei said: "Big brother, rest assured, there are more than 20,000 soldiers in Brazil City, and they can still fight in Ma Chao." Besides, the eldest brother is still there, but he has a capital, which is better than thousands of troops. Zhang Lu said: "What capital do I have?" Zhang Wei said: "The people's hearts are also." Since the beginning of the ancestors, that is, in Hanzhong to spread Taoism. The people of Hanzhong today are all in the name of my ancestor Zhang Tianshi. As long as my brother ascends to the heights, all the people will compete to follow. Ma Chao is not afraid! Zhang Lu said: "Since I was made an official by the imperial court, I have rarely taught Chinese affairs, and now I am not a brother to mention it, I almost forget it." The next day, Zhang Lu built one outside the city of Brazil. Three days later, the altar was completed. Zhang Lu bathed and fasted, dressed in Taoist clothes, stomped his feet, and came to the altar. instructed the soldiers guarding the altar: "Don't leave your position without permission, don't talk to each other, don't talk nonsense, don't be frightened." If you violate the order, you will be killed! "All are commanded. Zhang Lu slowly ascended the altar, the direction of the view has been determined, burning incense in the furnace, pouring water into the bowl, looking up to the sky and secretly wishing. The people of the city went out of the city one after another to see each other. Villagers near and far, there are many visitors. Zhang Lu three times in a row. At the end of the sacrifice, he cried to the people: "Zhang Lu was ordered by the Heavenly Master to take charge of Taoism, so that the people of Hanzhong can enjoy the blessings of the Heavenly Master, and there is no fault." But Ma Chao killed my Hanzhong officials for no reason and took away my Hanzhong city. Lu could not make the people of Hanzhong suffer, so he set up an altar and prayed to heaven and earth. When the Brazilian people heard this, they were angry. Zhang Wei was under the altar and shouted: "We are willing to expel Ma Chao's traitor for Sect Master Zhang." When Zhang Lu heard this, he pretended to be angry, and said: "This is a place where I can't control a county, and the will of heaven is super treated, so you can't say much." Zhang Wei shouted to the people again: "Those who want to drive out the horse thieves with me can join me." And all the people cried out for their will. Zhang Lu reluctantly instructed, saying to the people: "If this is the case, you can go to General Zhang Wei's camp in the coming day to join the army and raise major events together." The next day, Zhang Lu sacrificed on the altar, but Zhang Wei recruited new soldiers under the altar. There were 20,000 people from near and far.

However, there was a detailed work that reported the matter to Ma Chao as early as possible. Ma Chao was shocked, and everyone said: "Zhang Lu used Taoism to deceive people's hearts, and Zhang Wei took the opportunity to recruit troops and buy horses, which will become a big disaster sooner or later." Yan Pu said: "The people of Hanzhong all believe in Taoism and worship the name of Zhang Tianshi, so Zhang Lu has a very high reputation. Ma Chao said: "We need to make plans as soon as possible." Jia Xu said: "He took the opportunity to recruit the sect members to do things, and we can plan the plan, so that the sergeants will pretend to be ordinary people and go to Zhang Wei's place to join the army." When the army is crusading, it is an internal response. Ma Chao used his tactics to order Yang Ren and Yang Ang to lead Ma Dai and Pang De, and surrender 500 troops, pretending to be people from Nanxiang, Chenggu, Baocheng and other places, and went to Brazil to vote for Zhang Wei.

A few days later, Ma Chao led an army to conquer Brazil. Zhang Wei led the army to meet the enemy. The recruits were not trained in time, there was no formation at all, and they lined up indiscriminately. Ma Chao immediately stepped forward and scolded Zhang Wei for his early surrender. Zhang Wei was furious and slapped his horse out. Ma Chao engaged with a gun. Before he could reach Sanhe, he stabbed Zhang Wei to death with one shot. Ma Chao made a move of the gun, and the army rushed over. Zhang Weijun was defeated and fled for his life. Zhang Lu learned that Zhang Weibing was defeated and died in the city, and hurriedly closed the city gate, but was killed by Ma Dai and Pang De. Zhang Lu wanted to escape from the city with his family, but was stopped by Yang Ren. Zhang Lu told Yang Renchen about the past. Yang Ren was grateful and released Zhang Lu out of the city. Ma Chao entered Brazil City and went out to appease the people.

Zhang Lu has nowhere to stay. His wife said: "I have heard that Huang Shan, the lord of Qingzhou, is recruiting talents, and many villagers from near and far have voted for him, so it is better to go to Qingzhou." Zhang Lu then took his family to vote for Huang Shan.
