Pujiaguan city wall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since yesterday Ma Chao led the army to attack Pujia Pass, the defense of Pujia Pass has been strengthened in the past day compared with the previous period I don't know how many times, whether it is the soldiers standing guard on the city wall or the soldiers patrolling, the number of people is increasing several times, for a while there are only a lot of soldiers on the city wall, one by one busy figures, the city wall is full of stones, and there are clusters of arrows.

The two generals, Huo Jun and Meng Da, have been staying on the city wall all day long, and have never left the top of the city wall, lest Ma Chao lead his troops to attack again.

The day after Ma Chao attacked Pujia Pass, the soldiers on the city wall were still busy, and the two generals, Huo Jun and Meng Da, were also commanding the soldiers above the city wall, where more stones should be put and where there should be more arrows, at this moment, I don't know which soldier suddenly said: "The enemy is here again." Suddenly the soldiers on the city wall and the two generals looked outside the city wall, only to see that there were still a few miles away from the Pujia Pass, the dust was rolling, as if there were thousands of troops and horses rushing towards the Pujia Pass, after the soldiers on the city wall saw it, the older soldiers hurriedly picked up their weapons and found a place to stand over, some young soldiers were really frightened at this time and did not know what to do, after all, yesterday's battle was too fierce and there were too many people who died.

But after the soldiers on the city wall were ready, even those soldiers who were frightened at the beginning and didn't know what to do at this time had been called over by some experienced soldiers and told him how to do it, at this time, the soldiers who rushed to Pujia Pass outside the city wall stopped when they walked less than a mile away from Pujia Pass, and after a while, I saw a man and a horse walking out of the large group of people and horses, and walked slowly towards Pujia Pass, and stopped after walking to a distance of more than ten steps from Pujia Pass. Then he shouted above the city wall of Pujiaguan:

"I am General Li Hui, who came to Pujia Pass with his military division some time ago, and I invite your Huo Jun and General Meng Da to come and speak."

After hearing this, the two generals on the city wall, Huo Jun and Meng Da, showed their heads from the city wall, looked carefully under the city wall, and saw that this person was General Li Hui, and General Huo Jun hurriedly said:

"General Li Hui, what do you mean by this?"

"General Huo Jun, I went to the Ma Chao military camp on the order of the military to persuade Ma Chao to surrender to the lord, and now I am fortunate to have completed the task assigned by the military division, and now these soldiers behind me are Ma Chao, Ma Dai, the two generals and about 5,000 Xiliang soldiers under him. If General Huo Jun doesn't believe what I say, he can immediately invite the military advisor to come. ”

After Li Hui said this, he saw that someone from the large group of people behind him came out again, holding a spear in his hand, looking above the spear, a human head was hanging on it, because it had been too long since he had died, there was no blood dripping from the human head at this time. The soldiers on the city wall looked at the person who came out, and saw that this person was General Ma Chao, who had been fighting with Pujiaguan for a period of time, and the head on the spear in General Ma Chao's hand suddenly seemed to be full of a sense of slaughter.

"General Huo, look, isn't the human head hanging above the spear in Ma Chao's hand Yang Ang?" General Meng Da said in surprise.

After Huo Jun saw this scene, he was also a little surprised, you must know that Ma Chao was fighting with them yesterday, why did he come over and surrender today? However, after seeing the head above the spear, Huo Jun already believed what General Li Hui said, but for the sake of safety, Huo Jun still sent someone to invite the military advisor over.

In less than a meal, the military division came to the city wall, panting, it seems that the military division is in a hurry! After Shi Yuan arrived at the city wall, he saw General Li Hui below and General Ma Chao and the human head on General Ma Chao's spear, and hurriedly ordered General Huo Jun to open the city gate and let Li Hui, General Ma Chao and the soldiers behind him enter the pass. General Huo Jun no longer had the slightest hesitation at this time, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate. Then Shi Yuan hurriedly led the two generals, Huo Jun and Meng Da, to the gate of Pujia Pass to meet the two generals, Li Hui and Ma Chao.

Shi Yuan watched Li Hui and Ma Chao walk into the city gate first, hurriedly greeted him, walked up to General Li Hui and said:

"De'ang has made a great contribution."

When Li Hui saw the military advisor coming, he hurriedly dismounted, and then bent down to the military advisor and said:

"De'ang was fortunate to live up to his life and completed the task assigned to me by the military advisor."

After listening to what Li Hui said, Shi Yuan looked at the person next to Li Hui, only to see that this person was sitting upright at this time and looked very arrogant, Shi Yuan saw this scene, smiled, and then said:

"Presumably this is the mighty Xiliang and the general Ma Chaoma who once killed Cao Cao to cut his beard and abandon his robe! General Ma Chao is both a scholar and a martial artist, and he is a masterpiece of his life, which I admire very much. ”

After Ma Chao heard these words, he looked at Shi Yuan, and there was a trace of doubt on his face. When General Li Hui next to him saw this scene, he immediately said to General Ma Chao:

"General, this is the military advisor of our army, known as the phoenix chick."

As soon as Ma Chao heard that this person was Pang Tong, he immediately got off the horse, and then said:

"I don't know that Mr. is actually Master Pang Tong, the military advisor, and I hope to forgive me if I was rude just now."

"Alas, General Ma Chao doesn't have to be like this. General Ma Chao has just arrived at Pujia Pass, and I have ordered someone to prepare a thin wine in the meeting hall of Pujia Pass, so why don't we go together and talk in detail. Shi Yuan said happily.

After saying this, Shi Yuan said to General Huo Jun: "General Huo Jun, you immediately send someone to prepare five thousand sets of winter clothes for General Ma Chao's soldiers." Then find a place for General Ma Chao to set up camp, and then prepare some meat and send it to General Ma Chao. ”

"Yes. Military Division. General Huo Jun said.

Hanzhong.

After Zhang Lu saw the things sent by Yang Ang this morning, he was so angry that he didn't fight anywhere, thinking that he had taken in Ma Chao when he was in the most danger, and was ready to marry his daughter to Ma Chao, but he didn't expect Ma Chao to do this to himself, so he hurriedly sent someone to General Zhang Wei to give an order, ordering General Zhang Wei to lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to Pujia Pass to cooperate with General Yang Ang to eliminate Ma Chao, a traitor.

But after about half a day, Zhang Lu received the news that General Yang Ang and several of his lieutenants were killed by Ma Chao, it seems that the soldiers of Yang Ang's army went to Hanzhong immediately after Yang Ang's death to report, when Zhang Lu heard the news, he directly sat down in the chair, and he never imagined that things would develop like this. As for General Zhang Wei, when he heard the news that Yang Ang had been killed, he ordered his soldiers to suspend everything and wait for news from the lord.

At this time, Xiliang has been occupied by Cao Cao, it is estimated that the next step is to capture Hanzhong, and Cao Cao has always had the intention of capturing Hanzhong, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong of course also knows this, when Ma Chao was under his command, because of his bravery, he dared to send troops to attack Pujia Pass, and now Ma Chao surrendered Liu Bei and killed his general Yang Ang, so Zhang Lu also knew that he could not take this Pujia Pass, the current top priority is to protect Hanzhong, and now the biggest threat to Hanzhong is Cao Cao.

It is also because of this that in the following period of time, Zhang Lu never sent troops to attack Pujia Pass, and it was during this period of time that Liu Bei captured the entire Yizhou.
