After Xiahou Yuan was killed in battle, Cao Cao personally led an army to meet Liu Bei, in order to recapture Hanzhong, but Liu Bei held firmly, Cao Cao was not victorious, and Hanzhong was obtained by Liu Bei.

【Battle of Hanshui】

The Battle of Hanshui was a battle that took place in the Hanzhong War, when Huang Zhong attacked to rob grain, but finally failed to make an appointment, so Zhao Yun attacked to try to find out the situation, encountered the enemy army on the way, and severely damaged Cao's army with an empty city, the case of which is recorded in detail in the "Yun Bei Biography".

After Xiahou Yuan died in battle, Cao Cao personally led a large army to fight for Hanzhong, and transported a large amount of military food to the foot of Beishan, there were tens of millions of bags, Huang Zhong learned that Zhao Yun could go to attack Beishan, Zhao Yun agreed, sent troops to let Huang Zhong go to rob grain and grass, but for the sake of prudence, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong agreed to let Huang Zhong go on the expedition.

Huang Zhong led the troops to rob the grain, but did not return to the camp after the agreed time of Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was worried that something had happened to Huang Zhong, and his base camp had to stay guarded, so Zhao Yun left Zhang Yi to lead the rest of the soldiers to guard the camp, and he only led dozens of cavalry out to find Huang Zhong. As a result, he happened to meet the army sent by Cao Cao, Zhao Yun was attacked by the vanguard of Cao Cao's army, and just after fighting the enemy, Cao Cao's army had come to the front, and the momentum was pressing. Zhao Yun attacked the Cao army's array again and again, fought and retreated, and actually broke up the Cao Cao's army with dozens of cavalry and broke through. However, Cao's army quickly integrated the scattered troops and pursued Zhao Yun. At this time, the general Zhang Zhu was injured and surrounded by the Cao army, and Zhao Yun, who had already broken through the encirclement, once again galloped to assault the Cao army, rushed into the encirclement of the Cao army and rescued Zhang Zhu, broke through again, and brought him back to the camp. And Cao Jun chased after him and chased him to Zhao Yunjun's camp.

Zhang Yi, the chief of Chuyang, was defending the camp, and when he saw Cao Cao's army killed, he wanted to close the door and refuse to defend it. Zhao Yun had fewer troops at this time and thought that it was not the best way to defend to the death, so after entering the camp, he ordered the camp gate to be opened, and then his army died down. Seeing this, Cao Cao's army suspected that Zhao Yun had an ambush, and he was afraid of an ambush and did not dare to attack Zhao Yun, so he retreated. At this time, Zhao Yun ordered the war drums to be beaten, the drums shook the sky, and ordered the sergeants to shoot Cao Cao's rear army with a strong crossbow, Cao Jun was terrified, trampled on each other, and fell into the Han River and drowned countless people.

The next day, Liu Bei personally came to the Zhao Yun barracks to inspect the place where yesterday's battle was held, and exclaimed: "Zilong is full of courage!" So a banquet was held to celebrate until dusk, and the army also called Zhao Yun "General Huwei".

【Cao Cao's Retreat】

Cao Cao began to govern the army from July of the 23rd year of Jian'an (218), and in March of the 24th year of Jian'an (219), Cao Cao, the king of Wei, sent troops from Chang'an through the Xiegu Valley and sent the vanguard troops to march to Hanzhong to defend the dangerous places, and its preparation time lasted for more than half a year, but only two months later, Cao Cao abandoned Hanzhong and returned to Chang'an.

It is recorded in Pei Songzhi's supplement that once Liu Bei was in battle with Cao Cao, the situation was unfavorable, and he should have retreated immediately, but Liu Bei was furious and refused to withdraw his army, and no one dared to admonish. At that time, arrows rained down, and Fa Zheng walked to block in front of Liu Bei. Liu Bei hurriedly shouted: "Filial piety and avoid arrows." Fa Zheng replied: "Even Ming Gong braved the rain of arrows and flying stones, let alone me?" Liu Bei had no choice but to promise: "I will retreat with you." Then he withdrew his troops for the time being.

At that time, Liu Bei was not able to come out, and Cao Jun and Liu Beijun were separated by several months, which was unprofitable, and finally chose to give up Hanzhong.

According to the "Spring and Autumn Period of Kyushu", Cao Cao, the king of Wei, wanted to go back at that time, so he ordered to say "chicken ribs", and the officials did not know what they were talking about. After Yang Xiu, the main bookkeeper, knew about it, he packed up, and people asked Xiu in surprise: "How do you know?" Yang Xiu said: "Chicken ribs, it's a pity to abandon them, you can't get anything after eating, and if you compare it to Hanzhong, you know that King Wei wants to go back." ”

According to the record of "Wei Luo", Cao Cao fought fiercely with the Shu army in Hanzhong at that time, and Liu Bei Qijun was on the top of the mountain and ordered Liu Feng to go down the mountain to challenge. Cao Cao scolded: "You boy who sells straw sandals, you actually sent your righteous son to lead troops to resist me, ah! Look at me calling my (biological) yellow beard. So he ordered Cao Zhang to be summoned to help in the war. Cao Zhang then doubled day and night, but by the time he reached Chang'an, Cao Cao had already returned from Hanzhong. After Cao Cao returned to the east, he used Cao Zhangxing to cross the cavalry general and stayed in Chang'an.

Cao Cao ordered all the armies to withdraw from Hanzhong one after another, and ordered Cao Zhen to go to Wudu to welcome Cao Hong's troops back to Tun Chencang, where Zhang He also stationed troops to guard against Liu Bei. Although Cao Cao had no choice but to give up Hanzhong, he was afraid that Liu Beibei would take Wudu and enter Guanzhong, so he asked Zhang Ji for his plan. Zhang Ji replied: "You can persuade the Di people to move out and avoid the enemy in a place where there is plenty of food." And the first to come will be rewarded. So the people will rush to it. Cao Cao acted according to the plan, sent Zhang Ji to Wudu, and more than 50,000 migrants to settle in Fufeng and Tianshui counties.

【Conquer the Mean】

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Liu Bei completely occupied the entire territory of Hanzhong, and sent Yidu Taishou Meng Da to lead the army to capture Fangling County. At that time, Meng Da attacked Fangling from Zigui to the north, and Fangling was too guarded by Kuai Qi (Kuai Qi was Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law) who was killed by Da Bing.

Later, Meng Da waved his army to attack Shangyong County, Liu Bei was secretly worried that Meng Da would not be able to win alone, so he sent Liu Feng from Hanzhong Shunshui to the south to lead Meng Da's army, in addition to Liu Feng, there was also a general named Li Ping also participated in this battle, and then Liu Feng led the army and Meng Da Shangyong to join forces and successfully forced down Shangyong Taishou Shen Tan. After occupying Shangyong, Liu Feng moved to the deputy general, Shen Tan was the general of the expedition to the north, and Shangyong was too guarded, and Liu Bei also appointed Shen Tan's younger brother Shen Yi as the general of Jianxin and the Taishou of Xicheng.

Fangling County and Shangyong County originally belonged to Hanzhong County, which was under the control of Zhang Lu, and after Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong, two counties were separated from it, and the two counties were changed to Jingzhou.

【Hanzhong is king】

After the victory of the battle of Hanzhong, the first lord of Hanzhong Liu Bei established himself as the king of Hanzhong in the support of the ministers, he set up an altar in Weiyang, arranged the army to form a formation, and the county ministers came to accompany him, read the chapter, knelt down to accept the seal ribbon of the king of Hanzhong, and put on the crown. Send an envoy to take a stagecoach to send the chapter to the emperor, and return the seals and ribbons previously granted to General Zuo and the Marquis of Yicheng Pavilion.

Liu Bei called the queen and appointed his son Liu Chan as the crown prince. Wei Yan, a native of Yiyang, the general of Yamen, was the general of Zhenyuan, and he was also the Taishou of Hanzhong, guarding Hanchuan. Later, Liu Bei returned to Chengdu to preside over various government affairs, and appointed Xu Jing as Taifu, Fa Zheng as Shang Shuling, Guan Yu as the former general, Zhang Fei as the right general, Ma Chao as the left general, Huang Zhong as the rear general, and the rest of the people were promoted according to their ranks, and Zhuge Liang, who guarded the rear, did not record being rewarded and promoted.

The first person in history to call the king of Hanzhong is the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty Liu Bang, the overlord of Western Chu Xiang Yu because he was dissatisfied with Liu Bang to wait for labor to enter Xianyang first, so when the princes were divided, Liu Bei was deliberately divided into Hanzhong and Bashu as the king of Hanzhong (Han Wang), ruling Hanzhong County, Shu County and Ba County. Later, after Liu Bei seized the world, because his title was "Han", the empire he created took Han as the national name, which is also the origin of the Han Dynasty.

Note: In the autumn, the first lord of the group was the king of Hanzhong, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty said: "Pingxi General Duting Marquis Ma Chao, Zuo General (Leader) Changshi [Leader] Zhenjun General Xu Jing, Battalion Sima Chen Pang Xi, Yicao Engaged in Zhonglang Military Discussion Zhonglang General Shooting Aid, (1) Military Division General Zhuge Liang, Dangkou General Hanshou Pavilion Marquis Guan Yu, Conquest General Xinting Marquis Zhang Fei, Zhengxi General Huang Zhong, Zhenyuan General Lai Gong, Yangwu General Fa Zheng, Xingye General Li Yan and other 120 people said: The former Tang Yao is holy and the four murderers are in the court, Zhou Chengren was virtuous and the four countries were in trouble, the queen of Gao called the system and Zhu Lu stole his life, Xiao Zhaoyu rushed to the official and conspired, all Feng Shipet, by virtue of the performance of national power, the poor and the fierce chaos, and the society was in danger. If it is not Da Shun, Zhou Gong, Zhu Xu, and Bo Lu, they cannot be exiled to beg for birds, and their safety is stable. His Majesty Fu Wei was born with holy virtue, ruled all nations, and suffered from bad luck. Dong Zhuo's first difficulty, overthrowing Gyeonggi, Cao Cao's rank and disaster, stealing Tianheng; The queen and the crown prince kill and see harm, strip the world, and destroy people's property. For a long time, His Majesty was covered with dust and sorrow, and the secluded place was empty. People and gods have no owner, suppress the king's life, disgusted with the emperor, and want to steal artifacts. General Zuo led the division to the school captain Yu, Jing, and Yi three prefectures, and the Marquis of Muyi City Pavilion was prepared, and he was given the rank of a courtier, and he was martyred in order to martyrdom. Seeing its omen, he was indignant, and conspired with Dong Cheng, the general of the chariot and cavalry, to secure the country and the old capital of Kening. The event is not secret, so that the soul of the wandering soul will grow evil and be ruined in the sea. The ministers are afraid that the royal family will have a big disaster, and there will be a small change in stability, (2) I am worried all night and trembling. In the past, in Yushu, the nine clans of Dunxu, the second generation of Zhou Jian , the feudal surname, the poetry of its meaning, has a long history. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the division of the territory and the respect for the prince's brother were the difficulties of breaking the Zhulu and becoming the foundation of Taizong. The ministers are prepared for the branches and leaves, the sons of the sect, the country, and the mind is in chaos. Since the manipulation broke through Hanzhong, the heroes of the sea were attached to the wind ants, and the title was not obvious, and the nine tin was not added. Resignation is outside, and the rites are cut off. In the past, Hexi Taishou Liang Tong was equivalent to Han Zhongxing, limited to mountains and rivers, the same position and power, and could not be rated. Today's society is difficult, anxious to Long, Shu. Swallowing the world outside, the remnants of the group inside, the court is in danger of Xiao Wall, and the royal insult has not been built, which can be chilling. The ministers still obeyed the canon, sealed the king of Hanzhong, worshiped the great Sima, Dong Qi and the six armies, corrected the alliance, and swept away the rebellion. With Hanzhong, Ba, Shu, Guanghan, and Qianwei as the country, it was signed according to the ancient classics of the princes and kings of the early Han Dynasty. The husband is expedient, and the society is profitable, and it is also specialized. Then the success is established, and the ministers retreat to correct the sin, although there is no hatred in death. ”

The first lord said to the Han Emperor: "The ministers have the talent of the ministers, the appointment of the Dutch general, and the three armies of Dong Governor, and they are resigned from the outside, and they must not sweep away the difficulties. Dong Zhuo made a chaotic order, and since then, the group of murderers has been rampant and ruined. Relying on His Majesty's holy virtue and will, people and gods should respond together, or be loyal and righteous, or punish from heaven, rebel and die, and gradually disappear. Only Cao Cao, who has not been eliminated for a long time, has encroached on national rights, and is extremely chaotic. In the past, the minister and the cavalry general Dong Cheng tried to discuss the operation, but the matter was not secret, and he was framed. So he had to make Cao extremely rebellious, the queen was killed, and the prince was harmed. Although the alliance is entangled, the mind is struggling, cowardly and not martial, and it has not been effective over the years. Often afraid of dying, lonely and lonely in the country's grace, sighing forever, and being vigilant at night. Today's ministers and Qunliao thought that in the past, Yu Shu Dunxu Nine Clans, Shu Ming inspired wings, (1) the five emperors profit and loss, this way is not wasted. The second generation of Zhou Jian and built Zhu Ji, relying on the blessings of Jin and Zheng Jiafu. Gaozu Longxing, the younger brother of the prince, the Nine Kingdoms of the Great Apocalypse, the death of Zhu Lu, and the Great Sect of An. Now the evil is upright and ugly, there are many disciples, harboring evil intentions, and usurpation has been revealed. Since the clan is weak, the imperial family has no position, and the ancient style is considered, according to the fake expediency, the minister is the king of the Han Dynasty. The ministers are from the three provinces, they are favored by the country, and they are on either side, Chen Li is not effective, and what he has obtained has passed, so it is not appropriate to reinstate his high position to slander him for serious crimes. The crowd is forced to persecute the ministers to be righteous. The ministers retreated, but the thieves were not ashamed, the national disaster was not over, the temple was in danger, the society was about to fall, and the ministers were worried and blamed. If the right is changed, the Holy Dynasty of Ningjing, although it is impossible to resign, dare to think about it in case of regret. Obey the public opinion, worship the seal, and worship the prestige of the country. Yang Weijue, a high and favored position, contemplating and serving, worried and responsible, frightened and tired, such as in the valley. Try your best to lose sincerity, reward the six divisions, lead the group to righteousness, should be good, fight against the fierce rebellion, to Ning Sheji, in order to repay ten thousand, I would like to worship Zhang Yin on the post also the fake Zuo general, Yicheng Pavilion Hou Yinshou. ”
