Chapter 438: The New World's No. 1 General?
The war on the land south of the Yangtze River is full of war, more softness and more tenderness, and the war on the land of the northwest is full of blood, and the bloody men collide together with enthusiasm every day, roaring and shouting, waving knives and guns;
Liu Bei's death shook the Shu Kingdom, but the country could not be left without an owner for a day, only eleven or twelve-year-old Liu Chan succeeded to the throne and became the second Shu Han Emperor, known as Zhaolie, with the support of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's two uncles, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, the two advisers, Shu temporarily restored stability;
However, this is only the calm under the storm, although the current strategic focus of the Wei State is on the Jiangdong area, but the people in the northwest do not think so! Why can we only watch others make meritorious contributions and expand our territory, and we can only sit on the cold bench? Ten years of stationing in Tongguan?
Gao Shun, Wu Anguo, Dian Man, Cao Xing, Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, and Duan Xuan have been waiting for a long time, especially Gao Shun, Wu Anguo, and Duan Xuan, who have been stationed in the Tongguan area for ten years, how can they not have the intention of making contributions on the battlefield?
After Cao Ren led Cao Zhen and Duan Xuan to collect Yongliang, the two sides joined forces to attack Hanzhong, but it was a pity that Zhang Ren's defense was solid, and they couldn't overcome Zhang Ren's defense for a while, until... Pang Tong is here, and there is also a Ma Mengqi!
Hussar General Ma Mengqi, this is the key figure in determining the outcome of the outcome, where was the name of Shenwei General Ma Chao resounding at the beginning? Among the people of Xiliangqiang! Even if he hasn't returned to Xiliang for many years, as soon as he appears, the Qiang people will call out his name!
The Yongliangqiang people are now in decline, because Ma Teng was placed under house arrest, Han Sui was removed, Yan Xing was pitted to death, and he also wore a traitor's hat.
After Yan Xing led 100,000 Qiang soldiers to the battle, Zhuge Liang began to forcibly move most of the Qiang people to, Wudu County, not far from Hanzhong County, located below Hanzhong County, on the one hand, to enrich his own population, on the other hand, he was afraid that these Qiang people would make trouble, and did not dare to introduce them into Hanzhong, which was a mistake!
The Qiang people were already angry that the Shu State treated them like this, and Ma Chao came, their hearts began to be alive again, the Shu army in the area of Wudu County had very few garrison troops, and the Qiang people belonged to the kind of nomads who could fight on the horse and were good people when they got off the horse, they only needed a leader to burst out with super combat effectiveness, and the Shu army was caught off guard by their sudden turmoil and fled in embarrassment;
The Qiang people who killed the generals went directly to the eldest young master of the Ma family, and the Qiang tribe of more than 3 million was very powerful, and the number of troops who came to take refuge reached 100,000! It sounds terrifying, almost one out of thirty people came to join Ma Chao;
In fact, these Qiang people don't know how to farm at all, so how much grain can they grow if they are allowed to farm? In addition, things have been going on in Shu for more than a year, first Liu Bei sent troops to attack Nanjun, and then the army was defeated and died, Shu was chaotic, and he almost ignored them, and he didn't have time to care about them;
These people are obviously hungry, 300,000 people sound quite scary, but there are really not many young and strong among them, only 50,000 or 60,000 people, it can be seen that the war in these years has not only caused great trouble to the Han people, resulting in a sharp decline in population, but also the Qiang people;
Faced with this situation, how could Ma Chao not be sad? He also has a general Qiang blood, so he asked Cao Pi to give these Qiang people some help, for Cao Pi this is nothing at all, itself Wei State's top priority now is to increase the population, he readily agreed, Hongnong, Chenliu, Hanoi and even Jizhou, Qingzhou around the grain and grass are transported here in large quantities, used to give disaster relief to the Qiang people;
With food comes hope for life, people, we all know gratitude, especially in the most difficult times when someone has reached out to you to help, what is this feeling? The Qiang people were grateful and determined to die for the Wei State!
That's right, it's a hard job! You can even see that among the Qiang soldiers are fifty or sixty years old, and fifteen or sixteen-year-old children, they frantically attack Zhang Ren who is stationed on the old road with a grateful heart!
After more than three days of fierce fighting, he paid the price of more than 50,000 lives to overcome this Xiongguan and successfully broke the first pass in Hanzhong County! This is the return of the favor! This is a return to Ma Chao and a return to Cao Pi to Wei!
The generals of the Cao army were all sentimental, but the Qiang people were not willing to withdraw because of this, they also planned to urgently need to help the Cao army fight, if they all relied on these old and weak soldiers to fight so hard, the Cao army should have committed suicide in shame, so Pang Tong gave Ma more than a notice;
If the father and son are in the army, the father will leave the son, the brother will leave the brother, and those under the age of 18 and those over the age of 40 will be sent home! More than 200,000 Qiang people finally met the requirements, and only 10,000 people remained!
Zhang Ren lost a battle, Cao Jun forced Xia Meng Pass, this is the last line of protection of Hanzhong County, he has only 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Jun is more than twice as much as him, the pressure is very great, he asked for help from the imperial capital of Chengdu;
After discussing the strategy, Xu Shu decided to go to Hanzhong with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and brought 30,000 soldiers and horses with him...
"Cao Jun has not seen the siege these days, just constant provocations, on the other hand, the production of siege equipment with great fanfare, the morale of our army is not very high now, although it can rely on the natural protection of Xia Meng Pass to avoid the battle, but sooner or later...", Zhang Ren was a little depressed;
One of his dignified generals, with the help of Gaocheng to hold on, was defeated by the old and weak remnants of the Qiang people! Even if he is not the kind of person who is extremely arrogant, he can't stand it in his heart;
"Let's fight first, then we'll talk!" , Xu Shu made a quick decision, the war in the era of cold weapons, everyone has a breath in their hearts, there is morale over there, with morale there is everything, defeat is not discouraged, victory is not arrogant, there is no morale... Jeopardy!
"Shu's! Is there anyone who can breathe out and practice his hands for the guys? Ma Chao has been calling for four or five days in a row, and the Shu army has not faced the battle, he is very bored, but the Cao army is now supervising the transportation of siege equipment and manufacturing siege equipment, so it is necessary to confuse the Shu army;
"Xiliang Jin Ma Chao, the head of the five tiger generals... After Lu Bu died, he was known as the number one in the world, and Xu Chu, the fierce general of the Cao army, also said so! ", Zhang Ren said at the head of the city;
Since Lu Bu's death, there are really not many people in the world who can become the number one military general in the world, because Lu Bu has occupied an era, and when he died, those generals were also past their peak, such as Xu Chu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were all in their forties, and their physical functions were gradually weakening;
On the other hand, rising stars like Lu Bin and Cao Zhang are just in their early twenties, and they have not yet reached the peak of their lives, so they are even worse than Ma Chao, Ma Chao is now just in his early thirties, and he is in the prime of life, and his martial arts have also reached the peak! It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one military general in the world!
"Wow! Arrogant boy! See if I don't kill him! After Liu Bei's death, he borrowed wine all day to kill his sorrows, and it was also Zhuge Liang's trick to make Liu Chan cry that someone wanted to harm him, so he cheered up, this tiger-like man cheered up again, and it was still so terrible!
"General Zhang! This battle is related to the morale of the whole army, I think... Let Zilong go, right? Xu Shu said, he deliberately provoked Zhang Fei, this trick was tried and tested, Zhang Fei roared like thunder, regardless of picking up the guy and hitting the horse out of the city;
"Phew! The lackeys of the Wei State! Look at Lao Tzu not to kill you! Zhang Fei rushed over with a loud shout, Liu Bei's death was because of Cao Jun, how could he not hate?
Ma Chao saw that someone came out to fight, and saw that it was Zhang Fei, a master, and suddenly saw that Hunting was happy, laughed twice, and patted his horse to greet him: "Zhang Laosan!" You're old! Are you in such a hurry to die? ”
While speaking, the two exchanged hands, a huge force came, the two felt evenly matched, Ma Chao seemed even more enthusiastic, when Lu Bu was alive, he was the most comprehensive general in the world who integrated speed, strength, and skill;
And after he died, this reputation should be generated between Ma Chao and Zhang Fei, Xu Chu has the greatest strength, lacks speed and skills, and has many shortcomings; Guan Yu has the same strength and speed, but his strength and speed have explosive power and no staying power;
Zhao Yun is powerful, his speed and skills are comparable to Lu Bu's characters, but in terms of strength, he is not as good as Ma Chao, Zhang Fei and others, a little worse, the shortcomings of others Cao Zhang are almost the same as Xu Chu, Lu Bin is too young, and his strength has not yet reached its peak...
In short, the two of them faced each other, it was really a dragon fight, the soldiers on both sides were boiling with blood and shouting, especially some of the older soldiers among the Qiang people, they were even more crazy, they seemed to see the Shenwei general who was crisscrossing Xiliang back then!
General Kamui is still the same Kamui General, but General Kamui is no longer the little guy with red lips and white teeth, and now he has a beard, and he looks more majestic and graceful...
The gun comes to the spear block, the spear comes to the gun rack, in a blink of an eye, the two sides have passed fifty or sixty moves, and it seems that there is no winner or loser, but in fact, some masters can still see the clues, for example, Zhao Yun is sighing that he is old, he saw that Zhang Fei's strength after fifty moves is not as good as before, and he is faintly declining, but Ma Chao is becoming more and more courageous and tireless;
The reason why Zhang Fei has not fallen behind is because he is carrying too many things now, and he needs to be emotionally vented, so he has a breath to hold his breath and fight with Ma Chao in one place without falling behind, Zhao Yun boasts that he is playing by himself, at most it is an undefeated game! If it drags on long enough, you may still suffer a loss;
Ma Chao can be known as the world's first general, but he, the world's number one general, is not as persuasive as Lu Bu at the beginning, three British battles against Lu Bu, Cao Ying's six generals besieged, he can deal with it calmly every time, even if the enemy can't be beaten, he can run away and won't be injured;
When he arrives at Ma Chao, he is the kind of bully who bullies the old and the young, and he maintains a slight advantage over these generals by virtue of his young and strong strength, not much, but it is enough, at least when he is alone, he can ensure that he is invincible;
Zhang Fei was cheering himself up every time he drank, and after a hundred moves, he was a little sluggish, but after two hundred moves, he managed to recover the situation a little with one breath, although he soon fell behind;
"How many moves?" , Pang Tong felt a toothache, Gao Shun was a lot older but seemed more like an old man, more than ten years have also changed this general a lot, he has always been unsmiling, and sometimes he will smile: "It's almost three hundred moves!" My eyes are sour, but their arms are not sore..."
