Ma Chao easily seized Shangyong, 4,000 troops controlled a county town, and the army could only flee as soon as it came. But everyone was too busy to pay attention to him.

But he said that when Ma Teng, who was eating, suddenly felt his head flutter, and saw an arrow feather shoot straight at him, nailing his fur hat to the wall, he thought it was an assassin, and immediately shouted that he wanted to fight with the assassin. Then he saw thousands of soldiers rushing forward, and Huang Zhong cut down Ma Teng's gun with a knife and grabbed Ma Teng to the ground.

It turned out that Ma Teng handed over the army to Ma Chao and Han Sui, Tianshui City was empty, and Huang Zhong took the mountain road from Hanzhong to attack Tianshui under Zhang Quan's arrangement, and the Tianshui defenders were captured by Huang Zhongjun before they could react.

In August 201, Ma Teng surrendered to Zhang Xiu.

Adopting Ma Teng Han Sui, Xiliang is already in the bag, but the clarion call of war has never stopped, and a bigger battle is approaching.

In Yangping Guanzhong, Zhang Quan summoned Zhao Yun and Pang Tong and others, and Fa Zheng said:

"Young master, the next step is to annex and integrate Xiliang, and slowly map the Central Plains."

"No, Xiliang can't run away anymore, now, we will send troops to Chang'an!"

After the ancient capital of Chang'an was controlled by Cao Cao, under the hard work of the able official Zhong Xuan and the inspection of the general Cao Hong, the people were peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and gradually restored the magnificence of the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, and the city was gradually repaired and solid.

Zhong Xuan, now fifty years old, is still dignified, quite handsome, although his intelligence is not top-level, but his political ability is similar to Xun Yu, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Zhao and others. In the Cao Wei camp, Xun Yu died early, Jia Xu Xun Yu followed the golden mean incognito, and after the establishment of the Wei State, Zhong Yu soon served as the prime minister.

Cao Hong, now in Chinese New Year's Eve, has a handsome face, and his unruly fine hair emerges from his helmet and flutters in the wind. Brave and unusual, quite reckless, from Cao Cao when he raised troops in Yanzhou, he followed Cao Cao, and until the Cao Rui era, he was still resisting Zhuge Liang in Xiliang, Chang'an. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Tongguan between Chang'an and Luoyang was taken by Ma Chao in the hands of Cao Hong, and Cao Cao called Cao Hong a little general when he conquered Ma Chao, that is, Cao Hong was already forty-three years old, I am afraid that Luo Da made a mistake.

Dozens of days ago, when Zhang Quan and Ma Chao and Han Sui were at a stalemate at Yangping Pass in the southwest of Chang'an, Zhong Xuan said to Cao Hong:

"Zilian (Cao Hong), Ma Chao and Zhang Quan's hundreds of thousands of troops are in a stalemate in Yangping Pass, should we do something? Or report something to the prime minister? ”

"What's there to report for this," Cao Hong said wildly, "Ma Chao'er, I can't get used to seeing Menglang in Xiliang for so many years, if it weren't for my brother (Cao Cao) who is now grabbing land in the north, as long as we stick to Chang'an, I would have led the army to pacify Xiliang." Hmph, even if Xiliang's 100,000 iron horsemen are just a group of rabble. ”

"What about Zhang Xiuquan? Zhang Xiu suddenly went south from Wancheng and captured Jingzhou Yizhou, his strength should not be underestimated, we can't let him become bigger. ”

"Zhang Xiu?" Cao Hong suddenly remembered the relationship between Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao, and said with a dissatisfied face, "Regarding Zhang Xiu, when it comes to the ban of the prime minister, you don't have to worry about anything." With the strength of our Chang'an, even if Zhang Quan's tens of thousands of troops attack, he is not afraid. ”

"I was relieved to hear Zilian say that." Zhong Miao saw that Cao Hong was full of oaths, and thought that Cao Cao had defeated Yuan Shao, who was sitting in Hebei, and what was Zhang Xiu and Ma Teng afraid of.

"Yes." Cao Hong said casually.

In Chang'an City, the prosperity is still the same, after years of repair, Chang'an City gradually has a new meaning, solemn and solemn, with the majesty of the emperor. Outside the city of Chang'an, the smoke and dust are filled, and the huge Yellow River rushes on the loess of Shanxi, Shaanxi, bringing up tens of thousands of tons of turbid loess whistling by, pouring for thousands of miles, rushing endlessly.

When Han Sui and Zhao Yun's cavalry slaughtered from the Meridian Valley to Chang'an, Cao Hongzheng led several hundred men to hunt in the deep forests on the west side of Chang'an. Cao Hong saw tens of thousands of cavalry attacking along the avenue, and all that poured into his heart was vigorous blood full of fighting spirit, Cao Hong stepped forward and knocked Han Sui to the ground with one shot. Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward and fought with Cao Hong, and then Cao Hong's subordinates were killed and expelled, and Cao Hong was captured.

Then Han Sui and Zhao Yun rectified the appearance of the army and continued to attack Chang'an.

Under the city of Chang'an, Zhong Miao had already received the news and led the city sergeants to meet the battle under the city, only to see tens of thousands of cavalry coming all over the mountains.

Han Sui, who was in the middle, had secretly decided not to compete with young people again since he had just been swept under the horse by Cao Hong's shot, and now he saw that the enemy army was leading the army by an old Confucian student, and immediately shouted: "Let me come!" "Kill Zhong Xuan.

Zhong Xuan is a thorough civil official, where has he been on the battlefield, Han Sui swept a shot, and was immediately frightened and frightened, twisted his horse and left, and led the soldiers back to Chang'an City, and could not be closed.

Han Sui and Zhao Yun saw that the Chang'an city wall was tall and solid, and they couldn't attack it, so they set up camp under Chang'an City and waited for Zhang Quan's fall to follow the infantry army.

Seven days later, Zhang Quan led the infantry to arrive, and the grain, grass, baggage, and siege equipment were still being transported from Hanzhong.

Zhang Quan looked at the huge and majestic Chang'an City, and unconsciously felt a sense of pride of the Chinese nation, and his eyes released hope and pride. Pang Tong, who was thinking about how to break the city, looked at Zhang Quan and felt that Zhang Quan was confident, so he asked:

"How does Brother Quan plan to capture Chang'an City! Is it flooding, or is it burning? ”

Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren and others also gathered when they heard it, Zhang Quan came back to his senses and said with a smile:

"Chang'an Zhong Xuan, the turtle in the urn, what I want is Tongguan!"

Immediately let Zhang Ren Xu Shu throw 10,000 infantry, disappear, march to Tongguan, Zhang Quan, Zhao Yun and others continue to besiege Chang'an City.

Three days later, they received news from Xu Shu that the defense of Tongguan City was negligent, the generals were scarce, and the soldiers were few, and they had captured Tongguan.

"Okay." Zhang Quan shouted after reading the information, and then asked Wu Yi to shoot the information cloth on the city wall, and asked the soldiers to shout that Tongguan had been captured by the Hanzhong army.

But it is said that the well water in Chang'an City is alkaline and inedible, Chang'an has been besieged for ten days, the drinking water in ordinary people's homes has been cut off, and the accumulated firewood has been used up. At this moment, the soldiers suddenly came to report that the Tongguan between Chang'an and Luoyang had been captured, thinking that the south was Zhang Quan, and the north was Yuan Shang, Chang'an was completely isolated, and I felt a sense of powerlessness that I had never experienced before, and I was bitter and unbearable with my heart. I thought that it would harm the people if I continued to defend it, even if Cao Cao had rescuers, it would be ten days and half a month later.

So Zhong Xuan asked the soldiers to open the city gates around them, and led the soldiers and officials to kill from the north city gate, and Zhang Quan did not stop Zhong Xuan and let him go. Zhong Miao and the others arrived at the crossing of the Yellow River in horror in front of the eyes of all the troops, preparing to go down by boat, when they were about to leave, suddenly someone ran and shouted: "Wait for me!" "It was Cao Hong who was released by Zhang Quan.

At this point, Chang'an occupied.

Within a month after that, Zhang Quan asked Zhao Yun, Wu Yi, Zhang Ren, Huang Zhong to take Han Sui, Ma Teng and others to Xiliang to swagger and deceive, and the small princes of Xiliang were all submitted, and Xiliang was pacified. Then it is to sort out the housekeeping, reward meritorious deeds, search for talents, and other trivial matters, all of which are handed over to Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Kuai Yue, Huang Quan and others.
