On the official road from Jingzhou to Hefei, tens of thousands of cavalry of Cao's army galloped rapidly. At this time, most of the official roads were just tamping the soil, and some places with slightly better conditions were also adding some stones or something. Therefore, it is often seen in ancient novels that "I saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and a group of people and horses roaring," such fragments are described. It is because the ancient road construction technology is not yet mature.

The commander of this Cao army is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the generals of the Cao army recommended by Cheng Yu.

Zhang Liao, whose name is far away, was a native of Yanmen Mayi (now Shuozhou, Shanxi). A famous general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. He has successively served under the command of Jin Wu Ding Yuan, Taishi Dong Zhuo, and Wenhou Lu Bu. In the third year of Jian'an (198 AD), Xuzhou Mu Lu Bu, who occupied Xuzhou and repeatedly rebelled against the imperial court, was eliminated by Cao Cao with his troops, and Zhang Liao turned to Cao Cao. After that, he followed Cao Cao to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements for the establishment of the Cao Wei regime.

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD), together with Hanshou Pavilion Hou Guan Yu, he killed Yan Liang, a general under Yuan Shao, and relieved the siege of Baima.

In the sixth year of Jian'an (201 AD), together with the general Xiahoudun, he eliminated the Taishan bandit Changfeng in the area of Xuzhou.

In the eighth year of Jian'an (203 AD), he followed Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, to defeat the rebel Yuan Shang in Yecheng, and was promoted to a backbone general because of his merits.

In the twelfth year of Jian'an (207 AD), he followed the Han Prime Minister Cao Cao on an expedition to Wuhuan, and led the vanguard to kill Wuhuan Shan Yu Yuton in the White Wolf Mountain.

After the Battle of Wet Beard, Cao Cao appointed Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin to guard Hefei. Zhang Liao repelled Sun Wu's attack many times, Jian'an 20 years (215 AD), but also with 7,000 people to break 100,000 Jiangdong army, almost captured Wu Hou Sun Quan alive, after this battle, Zhang Liao Wei shook Jiangdong, became famous, became one of the famous generals respected in the past dynasties, "Zhang Liao stop crying" has also become a legendary story circulated among the people.

After Cao Pi, the lord of Wei, ascended the throne, he still ordered Zhang Liao to guard the power of his grandson. In the third year of Cao Wei and Huang Chu (222 AD), Zhang Liao died of illness in Jiangdu, and he died at the age of 54. Later generations called him and Le Jin, Yu Ban, Zhang He, and Xu Huang as Cao Wei's "five good generals".

Among the many generals of the Cao army, Zhang Liao can be described as an outstanding one. This time, Hefei was suddenly besieged, and Cao Cao did not hesitate to choose to send Zhang Liao to lead troops to help, which was a recognition of Zhang Liao's outstanding military talent.

Hefei has been besieged for half a month, and the soldiers and horses in Hefei City have been transferred to Jiangxia before. Therefore, there are not many defenders in Hefei City. In addition, the Jiangdong Army didn't know where to get the thunderbolt cannon, and these days the small Hefei city has been beaten everywhere with craters, and the soldiers have been killed and wounded.

The messengers sent to Jiangxia for help were wave after wave, and there were four or five messengers encountered on the Zhangliao Road alone.

"General, there is Qinglonggang in front, and it is only more than 100 miles away from Hefei! There are no enemy ambushes around! The sentry horse ran back and reported to Zhang Liao. In ancient times, when the army moved, sentry horses had to be sent to investigate within a hundred miles around. In order to make it easier for generals to control the surrounding enemy situation at any time. As the saying goes, "The three armies have not moved, and the sentry horses go first!" ”

"Probe!" Zhang Liaoyuan's eyes widened, and his voice was like a bell.

After the sentry horse left, Zhang Liao turned around and ordered the army to speed up. Judging by my own experience, Hefei City has not been able to support it for long.

Qinglonggang is the only place where Jingzhou leads to Hefei official road, it is only more than 100 miles away from Hefei New Town, and if the cavalry marches can be reached in less than half an hour.

At this time, Qinglonggang was surprisingly quiet, and there was not even a bird call, which was extremely weird.

"Are you coming?" A young general stood in the dense forest on the side of Qinglonggang and looked in the direction of the official road coming from the east. I saw that this person was in his early thirties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, white face and short beard, red lips and white teeth, and a majestic uniform, fluttering like a god in the sky. Who is this person? It was General Sun Yu and Sun Zhongyi, who received the order of Shi Lusu, the governor of Jiangdong, who had been ambushing in this place for many days.

Sun Yu, whose name is Zhongyi, is the second son of Sun Jing, Sun Jian's brother, and Sun Quan's cousin. The official is General Fenwei and Danyang Taishou. Sun Yu initially commanded the soldiers as a lieutenant of Gongyi, and once followed Zhou Yu, Sun Quan and others in battle, and was good at pacifying his subordinates and recruiting Nashun. Sun Yu loved to read ancient books, and invited the scholar Ma Pu to give lectures to the children of generals and officials, so Soochow began to set up scholars. In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215 AD), he died of illness in Jiangdong at the age of 39.

The spies climbed to the top of the tree and looked into the distance, only to see smoke and dust billowing above the official road in the distance, and looking at the number of soldiers and horses should be around 30,000.

"General, here! The enemy army is coming! The enemy army is coming! The spy quickly came down from the tree and trotted to report to Sun Yu.

Sun Yu looked up and could already see the dust raised by the enemy's march on the official road.

"All the troops are on horseback, and the crossbowmen are ready!" The Jiangdong soldiers got on their horses one after another, the people were containing coins, the horses were wrapped in hooves, and the mouths of the war horses were strangled with ropes. Prevent the neighing of the warhorse from exposing the target.

Qinglonggang was already very close to Hefei, and Zhang Liao, who was eager to rescue Hefei, never dreamed that Jiangdong soldiers and horses would ambush him so close to Hefei.

Cao's cavalry galloped into Qinglonggang. Only a cannon sound was heard, and suddenly arrows rained down on the hills on both sides, and Cao Jun did not rush to dodge, and fell off their horses one after another. Zhang Liao was shocked, and ordered the army to pass through Qinglonggang quickly, and the slightest hesitation might face the danger of annihilation of the entire army.

Cao Jun leaned over and hugged their horses' necks to avoid the attack of crossbow arrows. The legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horsewhip hit the horse's buttocks, and the horse suffered pain and accelerated with all his might. Seeing that Cao Jun was about to rush out of Qinglonggang.

But where could the ambush set up by the treacherous Zhuge father and son make it so easy for Zhang Liao to escape?

"General, look!" The adjutant general called Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao was originally leaning sideways and hugging the horse's neck to dodge the crossbow arrows, when he heard the words, he looked up. My mother! A piece of black pressing in front.

The crossbowmen were all smiling, the arrows had been wound, and behind the crossbowmen, a tall thin man rode a tall horse, waving his hand to Zhang Liao with a smile, muttering something in his mouth. Who is this person? It's none other than Jiangdong Changshi Lu Su Lu Zijing.

Lu Su rode a high-headed horse, and when he saw Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses approaching, he waved his hand: "Shoot the damn!" ”

Suddenly, the rain of arrows roared away, and Zhang Liao, who was about to be shot into a hedgehog, saw that the majestic Zhang Liao was about to be shot. But as the saying goes, "How can a son who is born rich and noble be a short-lived person?" ”

Zhang Liao kicked the horse's back with both legs, and immediately bounced out of the horse's back, rolled on the ground a few times, and looked up again, the war horse had been shot into a hedgehog by crossbow arrows and fell in a pool of blood. The cavalry at the front were also killed and wounded.

Seeing that Zhang Liao had become a turtle in the urn, Lu Su smiled slightly and ordered to stop shooting. "Catch it alive!" Zhang Liao was a well-known general under Cao Cao, and capturing him was much more useful than shooting him.

Most of the Cao troops who were surrounded in Qinglonggang died under the crossbow arrows, and Sun Yu saw that Zhang Liao was surrounded, and quickly led the army forward to block Zhang Liao's retreat.

At this time, Zhang Liao really has no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to enter the ground!

Lu Su stepped forward and saluted on the horse: "General Zhang, I respect you as a famous general in the world!" My lord Wu Hou is eloquent and talented, and he is thirsty for talent. If you surrender, my lord will treat the general with the courtesy of a soldier, what will the general think? ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he smiled and said, "Although I, Zhang Liao, am a husband, I also know the truth that loyal ministers do not serve the two masters!" When Sun Quan didn't know the sky, he wanted to use Wu Yue's people to contend with China, which was really a dead end! I, Zhang Liao, am not as good as others today, only death! Will there be any good end for the rebels such as Keer and other traitors who resist the royal teachers of the imperial court? I, Zhang Liao, are waiting on Huangquan Road! Haha ”

Lu Su saw that Zhang Liao had made up his mind and sighed. The so-called "heroes cherish heroes", let Lu Su shoot Zhang Liao, Lu Su was indeed a little unbearable. But there is no mercy on the battlefield, where is Lu Su the kind of woman who is benevolent? As soon as he raised his hand, he was about to give the order to shoot Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao knew that it would be impossible to escape this time, closed his eyes, and prepared to go to the country generously!
