Chapter 52 Jia Wen and Ji attacked the Sword Pavilion Ma Mengqi established himself as the king of Shu

However, it was said that Zhang Xiu entered Jiameng Pass, threw Huo Jun with a gun, and opened the city gate to welcome Ma Chao into the pass. The pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info was therefore captured by the Hanzhong army. Ma Chao ordered his cousin Ma Dai to pacify the people of Guanzhong. The next day, Jia Xu saw Ma Chao and said: "Not far southwest of Jiameng, that is, Baishui Pass. I heard the people here yesterday say that although the Baishui Pass is a little slow, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, like an urn mouth, if you enter the army, you will be attacked on three sides, and it is extremely difficult to capture. If the general takes this pass, he needs to attack it with surprise troops. Ma Chao asked: "Strange soldiers?" Jia Xu said: "You can take advantage of this time to secretly transfer soldiers and horses all the way, turn into a defeated army, and blend into the pass." The inside and the outside should be combined to easily win this level. If you get this pass, you can get it in Jiange, Jiangyou and other places. Ma Chao said: "Who can take on this great responsibility." Jia Xu said: "Two generals or three generals are fine." It's just that the third general Zhang Xiu entered the encirclement when he attacked Jia Meng, and his left arm was injured and needed to recuperate; The second general, Yan Xing, went to Hanzhong to buy military rations, but it did not arrive! Ma Chao said: "So only Ben will go to take this pass!" Jia Xu said: "The general is the commander-in-chief, and he can't take risks." Ma Chao said: "Measure a white water pass, but I can't help this general." ”

Ma Chao then ordered a hundred strong warriors dressed in the clothes and armor of the Shu army, mixed into the defeated soldiers of Jiameng Pass, and ran to Baishui. He also ordered Ma Dai to lead an army and follow closely behind. The two agreed that if there is movement in Guanzhong, they can enter Guanzhong. Ma Chao waited until the pass, and the Baishui guards saw that it was their own soldiers and horses, so they hurriedly opened the gate and let them in. Ma Chao entered the customs and killed the soldiers at the city gate. One hundred sergeants quickly take control of the level. Ma Chao ordered Yu to close and wave the flag. Ma Dai saw it in the distance, urged the army, and killed the pass. Baishuiguan was easily captured by Ma Chaojun. Jia Xu led the rest of the generals as the third team, and also voted for Baishui. Ma Chao entered the customs and appeased the people. The next day, Ma Chao raised his account and discussed the march. Ma Chao asked: "Within the white water, what city is blocking the road?" Ma Dai said: "In the south of Baishui Guan, there is a Guangyuan City. Guangyuan guarded Sun Hui too much, and he was a person from Shu County. Because he is an old friend with Liu Zhang's father Liu Yan, the official seal is too guarded. My brother thought that this city was easy to break. Ma Chao was overjoyed, and ordered Ma Dai to lead the army to take Guangyuan. Ma Dai was ordered to lead an army to Guangyuan. In Guangyuan City, Sun Hui heard that the Hanzhong soldiers were coming, and he was expected to be invincible, so he opened the city gate and welcomed Ma Dai into the city. Ma Daichi book and Ma Chao, words have been Guangyuan.

Ma Chao raised the account and discussed and forged ahead. Jia Xu said: "The south of Baishui is the Sword Pavilion. Sword Pavilion is dangerous, not under white water. It is always involved in the throat of Hanzhong, and it is necessary to get here first to open up the traffic with Brazil. Ma Chao asked, "What is the plan of the military advisor to quickly break through the Sword Pavilion?" Jia Xu said: "There have been several battles in the past few days, and Liu Zhang will have a wire report in the morning." The Sword Pavilion must have been on guard. If so, it can only be broken by force. Ma Chao said: "You know, who is the Sword Pavilion guard?" Guangyuan Taishou Sun Hui said: "The Sword Pavilion has been the first Xiongguan in Shu since ancient times, and Liu Zhang's father and son attach great importance to it. The guard general is Liu Zhang's henchman Wu Yiye. Ma Chao said: "How is Wu Yi's martial arts?" Sun Hui said: "Wu Yi holds an important position in the official residence, and he is quite accomplished in martial arts. Among the generals in Shu, there are few comparisons. As soon as this person is present, the general should act cautiously. When Jia Xu heard this, he applauded and laughed, and said: "If you regard the princes of the 20th Route of the Kanto as nothing, how can you be afraid of him Wu Yi." In the coming day, the lord can drive troops to attack, and act at a certain opportunity. Ma Chao Najia's words ordered all battalions to storm the Sword Pavilion in the coming day.

The next day, Ma Chaojun packed up and left the city. Set up a position outside the Sword Pavilion. Looking at the sword pavilion from afar, it is magnificent. Wu Yi, the guard of the Sword Pavilion, ascended the city, pointed at the Hanzhong army and said: "Where the soldiers and horses are, they must not approach." Ma Chao didn't answer, and the Xuantie gun looked at it and pointed at it. Ma Dai, Cheng Yin, and Zhang Xiansan got the general order, and each led a road of infantry to attack the pass. For a moment, the arrows flew when they were closed. The Hanzhong army could not advance an inch, and the number of casualties skyrocketed. Ma Chao hurriedly ordered the big shield soldiers to open the way, and increased the rushing car to bombard the city gate. Wu Yi designed to defend the city in every possible way. From the time of the battle to the time of Shen, there were countless casualties on both sides. Ma Chao gritted his teeth, and sent additional horses to attack the city. Suddenly, I saw that on the Sword Pavilion, the flags were all over the place, the embroidered flags were displayed, and the soldiers and horses were all the way there. Ma Chao thought to himself: This must be reinforcements from Chengdu, and it is difficult to win today's strong attack. Then he ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

But he asked who were the reinforcements and horses on the Sword Pavilion? It turned out that when Ma Chao attacked Jiameng Pass a few days ago, there was already news reported to Liu Zhang in Chengdu. Liu Zhang was afraid that there would be a loss in the front, so he ordered Zhang Ren, the general of Huben, to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to defend against the enemy. Clinker Jiameng Pass was already broken by Ma Chao. Zhang Ren's army arrived just when Ma Chaoqiang was attacking the Sword Pavilion level. It was getting late that day, and Ma Chao saw that the Sword Pavilion could not be attacked, so he closed it and added reinforcements, so he ordered to retreat. Ma Dai, Cheng Yin, Zhang Xian and other departments went first, and Ma Chao personally cut off. But I heard a cannon sound in the Sword Pavilion. The army looked back at it, only to see the gate of the Sword Pavilion opened, and a golden crown was tied up, and the army was led out with a spear. Ma Chao scoffed, and said to the left and right generals: "If there are people in the world who don't know whether they are dead or alive, they will be taught how to behave!" "Say goodbye, shoot the gun, and shoot the horse. The two horses intersected, like two male lions competing for food, but they made an earth-shattering roar. Ma Chao fought with him for more than ten rounds, but he couldn't win. I saw that his marksmanship was sharp and flawless, and it was obviously a famous legend. Seeing the Shu army coming like a tide, he hurriedly sold a flaw and walked away. That will chase for a while, and collect the army back to the Sword Pavilion.

The Hanzhong army retreated about fifty miles and set up camp on the right side of the mountain. Ma Chao sat quietly in the Chinese military tent, depressed. In a few moments, casualties statistics will be reported. More than 5,000 casualties were suffered in this siege, and they were chased by the Shu army for a while, and more than 2,000 people were defeated. Ma Chao asked, "Who can you find out who is the leader of the troops?" The general said: "I found out that this person is Zhang Ren, a famous general in Shuzhong." Just as Zhang Xiu arrived from Jiameng, Ma Chao told Zhang Xiu about Zhang Ren. Zhang Xiu said: "This person once studied with me under the gun king Tong Yuan, and his marksmanship is extraordinary, and his martial arts are still above me." I had an old friend with him, and I tried to shout in reply to the Japanese battle. If you can say it, it is easy to break the sword pavilion. Ma Chao agreed.

The next day, Zhang Xiu led the Hanzhong army to attack the Sword Pavilion again. Zhang Xiu stepped out of the horse and shouted Zhang Ren to answer. The Sword Pavilion will report to Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren ascended the city, looked outside the city tower from afar, a general was wearing iron armor, and the horse was close to the front, which was the same door Zhang Xiu in the past. Zhang Xiuwang looked at the city, Zhang Ren shouted: "Brother Zhang Ren is above, and my brother is polite." Zhang Ren said: "Since it is an enemy country, there is no need to pay tribute." I have been commanded by my lord to guard the Sword Pavilion, and I will surely be loyal to death. If you know each other, retreat quickly, and do not hurt the friendship of the same family; If you are obsessed, don't blame me for not looking at the face of the master. After that, Zhang Gong looked at Zhang Xiu and shot an arrow, and Zhang Xiu stepped off the war horse in the middle. The war horse was in pain and knocked Zhang Xiu to the ground. Before Zhang Xiu's words were spoken, he was rejected by Zhang Ren, discouraged, and returned to the camp to resume his life. When Ma Chao heard this, he was furious, captured Zhang Xiu, punished him for the crime of retreating from the battle, and detained him in the back camp to be disposed of. Immediately, Ma Chao gave the order and attacked the Sword Pavilion with all his might. The news of Zhang Xiu's capture has long been spread in the Sword Pavilion. Wu Yi smiled and said: "Ma Chao is a horseman, and his wisdom is so poor; If the clever plan fails, the meritorious man will be held accountable; Its demise is not far off! Zhang Ren said: "Although this is the case, we have to guard against it." Although Ma Chao is scheming, Jia Xu is scheming. I was very troubled. ”

For several days, the Hanzhong army stormed the Sword Pavilion but did not resist, the army was disheartened, and the soldiers thought of returning. Zhang Ren saw that the fighter plane was rare, and after consulting with Wu Yi, the troops were divided into two teams and went out of the customs to attack the Hanzhong camp. At the third watch of that day, Zhang Ren took the front to the front and went straight to Ma Chaodazhai. Ma Chao's army was defenseless and difficult to resist the enemy, so he abandoned the village and left. Zhang Ren took Ma Chaoying. Subsequently, Wu Yi led the second team to pursue the Hanzhong army. Captured more than ten camps of the Hanzhong army in a row, and forced the Hanzhong army into Baishui. Zhang Xiu was taken into custody in Ma Chaohou's camp, but before he could evacuate, he was captured by the Shu army, so he surrendered to the Shu army. Zhang Ren felt the friendship of the same door and accepted it.

Zhang Ren gathered the generals of the Sword Pavilion to discuss matters. Zhang Ren said: "Ma Chao will not give up when he suffers this defeat." It retreats to the white water, and sooner or later it will return, and it has to be guarded against. Zhang Xiu stepped forward and said: "I am willing to take a brigade of divisions to guard the Sword Pavilion day and night, and I will not let the enemy get closer." Wu Yi on the side heard this, and hurriedly raised his eyebrows to Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren understood and said that Zhang Xiu said: "The matter of guarding the pass, there is a bias towards the small school, and He Laoxian's brother is worried." Then he turned to everyone and said: "Ma Chao is arrogant and forcibly occupies Hanzhong; I think I am invincible, disturbing the peace of my Shu. However, our lord Liu Junhou only ordered us to stick to our homeland and not to pursue the thieves. Outside the generals, the military order is not subject to it. Today, Ma Chao is defeated, and I want to raise the soldiers and horses of the Sword Pavilion to recover Baishui in order to consolidate the defense of Shuzhong. I don't know what you think. Wu Yi and other generals clapped their hands and praised, and they were all willing to lead their troops to recover Baishui. Wu Yi took the lead and said: "I am the guard of the Sword Pavilion, guarding Xichuan, and I should be the head of the front." You can wait in the Sword Pavilion and wait for the good news. When I regain the white water, I will welcome you to the white water. Wu Yi said that the generals would not dare to fight with him. Zhang Xiuchu was a Shu general and was not trusted by his colleagues, so he never asked for an order.

However, it was said that Wu Yi led the horse to 8,000 troops, went out of the Sword Pavilion, and ran to Baishui. On the way, he was blocked by the Hanzhong army. In the Hanzhong formation, the main general flashed out, it was Ma Chao's brother Ma Daiye. When Ma Dai saw Wu Yi, he didn't shout, but only waved the iron gun, and the iron cavalry under his command rushed straight over. Wu Yi was just firing back, only to hear a cannon sound, and countless Hanzhong troops flashed out of the mountains on the left and right. Wu Yi was attacked by three ways and left in defeat. When he fled into the Sword Pavilion, there were only 1,000 soldiers and horses left in the 8,000 soldiers, and Wu Yi was seriously injured. The generals were sullen. At this time, Zhang Xiu asked for an order: "Although the enemy army retreats, there are strong generals who are broken, and now I will pursue the army all the way, and the army will retreat." I am willing to lead another army into Baishui, cut down Ma Chao, capture Jia Xu, and avenge the death of my brothers. "Zhang Ren didn't allow it. Zhang Xiu begged bitterly. Zhang Ren saw that Zhang Xiu was affectionate, and it was difficult to shirk it, so he had to promise Zhang Xiu 5,000 soldiers and horses. In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xiu took 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Baishui and fought with Ma Chao's army in the mountains and forests. It was not until the evening that the army was collected and returned to the customs. Although it was a fierce battle, the casualties among the soldiers were not large.

For several days, the two armies did not fight. On the tenth day, the Hanzhong army actually raised the whole city to attack the Sword Pavilion. Zhang Ren got the report and hurriedly organized soldiers and horses to defend the city. I saw that the door was locked, and the arrow stone was closed and ready to go. Ma Chao led the army to charge and kill once, but was shot back by random arrows. Suddenly, Ma Chao returned to the horse, looked at the closure from afar, and pointed at the Xuantie Hussar Riding Gun, shouted, and said: "The Sword Pavilion will not open the door, when will it be!" Words were overwhelming, only to see the Sword Pavilion close the door and open suddenly. Ma Chaofu led the troops to kill the pass, and there were no arrows and stones to stop him. The Hanzhong army was like a bamboo, and it was impossible to stop it, and quickly occupied the Sword Pavilion. Zhang Renyu saw it on the close, like a dream. Looking around, only Zhang Xiu was missing, and he knew the plan. Zhang Ren saw that the Sword Pavilion had been lost, and knew that it was difficult to defeat Ma Chao, so he hurriedly took the left and right deputy generals to take advantage of the chaos to escape to Guannan. Not far away, Zhang Xiu blocked the way. Zhang Xiu laughed and said: "Zhang Ren, you have already fallen for the serial scheme of my family's Jia Xu military division. You can quickly dismount and surrender to avoid the scourge of killing. When Zhang Ren saw Zhang Xiu, he was furious and came to fight with a gun. The marksmanship of the two is only between the two of them, and the battle is more than 80 combined, and the outcome is undecided. When Deputy General Zhang Ren saw it, he besieged him and wrapped Zhang Xiu to fight. Zhang Xiu was outnumbered, and gradually became cowardly, so he let Zhang Ren escape. Wu Yi fought hard and failed to break through and died in the chaos.

The Hanzhong army won the Sword Pavilion, and the three armies were overjoyed. Ma overweight rewarded Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu. The Sword Pavilion is the barrier in Shuzhong. As soon as the Sword Pavilion is broken, Chengdu is desirable. Ma Chao couldn't wait, so he ordered his younger brother Ma to play the Sword Guarding Pavilion and led his own army to pursue Zhang Ren's remnants. Chase straight to the bottom of Jiangyou City. Zhang Ren stuck to the city and refused to fight. Although Jiangyou City has little soldiers and little food, it was designed by Zhang Ren to defend it. The Hanzhong army came quickly, and the siege equipment could not be complete, and it was urgent and difficult to attack. That day, Jia Xu saw Ma Chao and said: "Although Jiangyou City is small, it is urgent and difficult to take. If we don't take it, I'm afraid that Zhang Ren will cut us off. Jiangyou has one place in the north and south, which is Huzhong and Fucheng, which are all important places. Lying at the foot of the mountains, there is abundant grain and grass, and the energy is used to supply our army; Fucheng is surrounded by water, and it can be taken to open up the water to Chengdu to the village. "Ma Chao's siege of the city is not broken, and he is afraid that the relocation will be delayed for a long time, so Najia Xu's plan is to divide the troops into two places. Ma Chao ordered Zhang Xiu, the governor of Jiangyou, to personally lead the soldiers and horses to fetch the middle first. Yan Xing, the general of the grain guard, transported the grain to the tent. Yan Xing asked for an order: "The day before yesterday, I heard that the third brother had made great contributions. The name of the third brother has long been famous in Shuzhong. The people in Shu today only know that there is a third brother, but they don't know my Yan Xing's ability. I heard that my brother had a city that he hadn't taken, and the foolish brother was willing to take it for his brother. When Jia Xu heard this, he said: "The second general must not be like this." Accumulating grain and grass is not a small errand, but always involves the lifeblood of the three armies. How could the general take it lightly. Yan Xing said: "My eldest brother is about to get the grain and grass in the future, and he will have his own grain and grass supply in the future. If I don't take advantage of this time to take Fucheng, I will miss a big thing. Yan Xing didn't listen and insisted on going. Ma Chao had no choice but to agree. Wan instructed him to be careful.

But it was said that Yan Xing took his troops and horses to take Fucheng. fought several battles with Yan Yan, the defender of Fucheng, and finally captured Yan Yan. Yan Xingyi explained Yan Yan. Yan Yan felt Yan Xing's grace and surrendered. Yan Yannai is a veteran of Shuzhong and has a very high prestige. The cities around Fucheng to Chengdu were all persuaded by Yan Yan to surrender. Therefore, the Hanzhong army easily broke through the south gate of Chengdu, and the army approached Chengdu. Zhang Ren defended Jiangyou, confronted Zhang Xiu, and waited for reinforcements from Chengdu. Suddenly, Ma Chao ordered Yan Xing to divide his troops to take Fucheng, and now his troops are pointing directly at Chengdu. Zhang Ren saw that the general trend had gone, so he hanged himself in the city tower. The deputy general opened the city to welcome Zhang Xiu into the city.

But it was said that Yan Xing would surround Chengdu with a large army. Day and night shouted for Liu Zhang to surrender, but he didn't attack. Within a few days, Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu both arrived, and the momentum was huge. In the city of Chengdu, Huang Quan, Liu Wei and others all persuaded Liu Zhang to go out of the city to fight to the death. Liu Zhang said: "I, Liu Zhang, were convicted in the sky, and I inherited my father's business for less than three years, but I led to the disaster of swordsmen." If there is a decisive battle now, it will only poison the living beings, and it is better to surrender it. "Huang Quan admonished him with death. Liu Zhang just didn't listen, and ordered the general Meng Da and the strategist Zhang to let go of the city gate. Ma Chao then occupied Chengdu. Yan Xing and Yan Yan went to attack Ba County. Meng Da, Gao Pei, Yang Huai and other generals in Shu all surrendered. Ma Chao also ordered to persuade Huang Quan and Liu Ba to surrender. The two swore to death and scolded endlessly. Ma Chao was furious and secretly gave poison and wine to kill him. A few days later, good news came, Yan Xing, under the guidance of Yan Yan, defeated Leng Bao and Wu Lan, the defenders of Ba County, and the army was stationed in Jiangzhou City.

So far, the entire territory of Yizhou has been attributed to the three brothers of Ma Chao. Ma Chao proclaimed himself the king of Shu. He also named Jia Xu as the Great Sima, a former general, and the Taishou of Guanghan. Feng Zhang Xiu was a hussar general, and Hanzhong was too guarded. Yan Xing is a general of the chariot and a guard of Jiangzhou. Feng Liu Zhang was appointed as a general of Diannong and went to Brazil to supervise farming.
