Zhang Fei returned to the pass victoriously, it turned out that a few days ago, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Li Hui arrived at Yangping Pass, and Ma Chao had already bought several captains of Yangping Pass in a year, and these people should cooperate with each other to seize Yangping Pass.

Zhang Fei guarded the pass, deliberately showed weakness to Zhang Fei, slowed down his heart, and took the opportunity to break it. Zhang Qi and Zhu Ling were defeated by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao said angrily: "You two are generals on the battlefield, you should be cautious and careful, how can you despise the thief army so much, and be intercepted by the thief in battle." The first battle was defeated, and the army's morale was frustrated. ”

Drinking the order to behead, left and right hurriedly came to persuade him, Cao Cao said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." Ordered each to write down fifty military sticks, and then to take Hanzhong, and then go to receive the punishment. "Thank you.

After Cao Cao led his troops to Yangping, he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at its terrain: "How can you break such a majestic pass?" ”

Xu Huang was ordered to lead troops to attack, but Zhang Fei held the pass and garrisoned, and Xu Huang lost his soldiers and horses in vain, and did not make any progress. The two sides confronted each other for more than 40 days, and Cao Cao retreated.

Cao Hong and Cao Xiu came to report, and the two confronted Ma Chao in Wudu, but Ma Chao couldn't hold out, and sent Qiang Di to constantly harass them.

General Wu Lan detoured behind the two-person camp to prepare to attack the two, but Cao Hong was afraid of being flanked by the front and back, so he wanted to retreat.

Cao Xiu said: "Ma Chao has the name of bravery, and Qiang Di is all in the heart, not out at this time, it is precisely because of the elite of our army, there is a heart of jealousy, so it consumes the spirit of our army, if our army retreats will be besieged by Ma Chao and Qiang Di everywhere, the whole army will be annihilated, our army will build a camp according to the danger, Wu Lan can detour our army after the soldiers and horses must not be many, the general will hold the camp, I will select the elite to break it." ”

Cao Hong thought that Cao Xiu's words were reasonable. He ordered Cao Xiu to lead troops to attack Wu Lan, but Wu Lan didn't expect Cao Jun to dare to appear, so he was caught off guard and was killed by Cao Xiu.

Cao Hong retreated, Ma Chao thought that Wu Lan had succeeded in chasing after him, and was defeated by Cao Hong with an ambush, and Cao Xiu led his troops to seize Wudu while there were no soldiers. Ma Chao retreated to Yinping.

Cao Cao heard the news and said to everyone: "My Cao family has this hero, I don't have to worry about it." "Let people reward Cao Hong and Cao Xiu.

Xiahou Yuan also came with good news, Han Sui died of illness, his subordinates beheaded Han Sui and surrendered, Cheng Gongying asked to return Han Sui's head, so that Han Sui could be buried, Cao Cao respected Cheng Gongying's loyalty, allowed him to ask, and was named a liehou.

Nanzheng Zhang Lu waited for a month, saw that Cao Cao did not come, and Yangping Pass was also occupied by Liu Bei, knowing that nothing could be done, so he went out of the city to surrender, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and personally went to Nanzheng to surrender.

Liu Bei held Zhang Lu's hand and said: "The public guards one side, cares for the people, protects the territory and the people, and the people live in peace, this is a meritorious achievement." ”

Zhang Lulian said that he didn't dare. Liu Bei still ordered Zhang Lu to be the Taishou of Hanzhong, Yan Pu to be a partial general, and Yang Ang, Yang Ren, and Pang De were all rewarded.

Liu Bei ordered Zhao Yun and Huang Quan to take over Zhang Lu's soldiers and horses, and returned to Yangping Pass by himself.

At that moment, the banner of Liu Bei that was erected, Cao Cao sighed after seeing it: "Hanzhong is not owned by me. ”

Sun Quan took advantage of Cao Cao's distance in Hanzhong, a God-given opportunity, and also to fulfill the covenant, raised 100,000 troops to attack Hefei, Zhang Liao was in a hurry, and Cao Cao ordered Xu Huang to be the vanguard to Hefei to support.

Ordered the people of Wudu to move into Guanzhong, and after Xiahou Yuan broke off, he packed up and retreated.

When Liu Bei saw Cao Cao's retreat, he ordered Huang Zhong and others to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to pursue slowly.

After Xiahou Yuan broke off, he saw that although Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were chasing, they were cautious, and knew that they were preparing to delay, so he asked the army to go first, and occupied the danger himself, so that Liu Beijun did not dare to catch up, and after the army walked out of the valley, he quickly caught up.

No, on the way back, Ma Dai and Li Hui suddenly came out of danger, and Xiahou Yuan was shocked: "Why are there soldiers and horses here?" ”

But he didn't want Ma Dai and Li Hui to lead the Wudang Flying Army to hide in the valley for a month, just waiting for Cao Cao to retreat and raid, and was originally going to attack Cao Cao, but he was only 2,000 soldiers and horses, and he didn't dare to move lightly, so he attacked the soldiers and horses after the break.

Ma Chao has known all the geography of the valley in the past two years, and is familiar with the dangers everywhere, so that his younger brother Ma Dai led Li Hui to ambush in a dangerous place in advance, and took advantage of Xiahou Yuan was about to rush forward, suddenly killed, condescending, Xiahou Yuan was broken after the soldiers and horses were washed away, Xiahou Yuan relied on the terrain to gather soldiers and horses.

No, Wudang Feijun is good at walking in the mountains, but uses the mountains to kill and injure Cao Jun, because Wudang Feijun delays.

Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei also caught up later, and Xiahou Yuan desperately broke through, and was hit by two arrows. After Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were victorious, they collected their troops and returned.

After Cao Cao returned to Chang'an, he ordered his cronies to guard Chencang, Guo Huai and Wei Ping to guard Liangzhou, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Ji, Zhang Jaw, Du Xian and other important places to guard Chang'an, Xianyang and other important places to defend Guanzhong.

The people took the command. Cao Cao personally went to Hefei to aid Zhang Liao.

Liu Bei won, stabilized Hanzhong, and collected Zhang Lu's ten years of accumulation, Liu Bei ordered Meng Da, Kou Feng to attack Shangyong, capture Taishou Kuaiqi, and Shen Tan and Shen Yi brothers surrendered.

Shen Tan moved his wife, children and clan to Chengdu as a hostage, and Liu Bei appointed Shen Tan as an official and a prince, still a Shangyong Taishou, a member of the township, and was crowned as the general of Zhenxi. His younger brother Shen Yi was appointed as the general of Jianxin, and Fang Ling was too guarded.

Liu Bei named Wei Yan as the general of Zhenbei and guarded Hanzhong, everyone was surprised, everyone thought that Zhang Fei was the best candidate, but Liu Bei was the best choice, Liu Bei was the best choice, Liu Bei feasted all the soldiers and rewarded the three armies.

During the banquet, Liu Bei asked Wei Yandao: "How does Wen Chang guard Hanzhong for me." ”

Wei Yan generously replied: "If Cao Cao comes with 100,000 yuan, he will swallow it with the lord, and if he comes from the country, he will block it from the lord." ”

Liu Bei is strong, and everyone should admire his majesty.

Fa Zheng and others persuaded Liu Bei to become the king of Hanzhong, and Liu Bei said: "The Son of Heaven is in trouble, so he should be the protector first and rescue the Son of Heaven, how dare you think about it." I have made up my mind, and I will say no more. ”

A few days later, Liu Bei returned to Chengdu. Liu Bei left Ma Chaotun to fight in Yangpingguan, waiting for an opportunity to capture Liangzhou.

After returning to Chengdu, Pang Tong rewarded the Wudang Flying Army with a plan to make it go to Nanzhong to publicize it, so that more people could join the army, and Liu Bei followed it and gave him food, cloth, gold and silver.

Everyone was overjoyed and thanked. Li Hui took the opportunity to let them return to Nanzhong, moved their families here, and told them that if anyone wanted to join the army, they could bring it back.

Everyone returned to Nanzhong, and Deng Fang went to Jianning County to inspect, called inspection, which was actually to prevent Yongkai from obstructing. Wudang Feijun returned to his hometown and brought back his own military exploits and rewards, as soon as he publicized it, sure enough, many people also wanted to join the army, after all, the barren land in Nanzhong was extremely bad, so it was better to join the army to earn war exploits and get rewards.

Everyone followed the Wudang Flying Army back, Yongkai had the intention to stop it, but was entangled by Deng Fang, did not dare to blatantly obstruct it, everyone returned and brought back nearly 4,000 people, but the homeland was difficult to leave, so only more than 1,000 people brought their families.

Liu Bei ordered Li Hui to be the commander of all the troops, ordered Gong Lu to be the deputy general, and promoted two people with military merits and prestige to be captains, and promoted dozens of military horses. Take it all in.

In October, Guan Yu sent Ma Liang to Chengdu, and Ma Liang met Liu Bei.

Liu Bei asked, "What's the matter with the second brother?" ”

Ma Liang took out a letter and handed it to Liu Bei and said, "General Guan is all right, bring a letter from General Guan this time." There is also a messenger to inform the lord Sun Quan to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to win first and then defeat, take Anhui City, and then besiege Hefei, and return in defeat. ”

Liu Beiqi said: "How many soldiers and horses are there in Hefei? ”

Ma Liang said: "Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin and seven thousand soldiers and horses. ”

Liu Bei said: "Oh, Ji Chang said it carefully. ”

Ma Liang said: "Sun Quan's army is approaching Anhui City from the mouth of the water. The vanguard Lü Meng took Ling Tong as the governor of the city, supervised the attack in front, and Lü Meng followed with the elite. Directly attacking Anhui City, Lu Meng held a war drum and cheered for the drum.

The morale of the Jiangdong army was high, and with one blow, Ling Tong led the crowd to the city, took Anhui City, and captured Zhu Guang, the Taishou of Lujiang, and Dong He, who joined the army. “

Liu Bei said: "Okay, the first battle is a big victory." How did you lose after that? ”

Ma Liang said: "Sun Quan continues to march into Hefei. After Zhang Liao learned about it, he recruited the dead, got 800 people, killed cattle and set up wine, and rewarded all the dead.

After Sun Quan's soldiers came to Hefei, they set up a formation under the city, Zhang Liao put on armor and held a knife, and took advantage of Sun Quan's deployment before he was completed, taking the lead in the front and trapping, killing dozens of people and beheading two generals.

Zhang Liao shouted his name, rushed into Sun Quan's army, killed Sun Quan, the generals Song Qian and Xu Sheng arrived, Zhang Liao shouted, rose up to attack, three impacts, the Jiangdong army was scattered, and the soldiers began to retreat.

Pan Zhang led his own soldiers, held a sharp blade in his hand, galloped to catch up with the rout, and killed the deserters in Song Qian and Xu Sheng's army on the horse, and ordered the soldiers to turn back and fight again.

The Jiangdong soldiers turned over and fought again. Sun Quan was shocked when he saw this, and when he saw Zhang Liao rushing towards him, he had to climb on a mound of earth and order the guards to surround the mound and defend themselves with their halberds.

Zhang Liao rushed to the bottom of the mound, several impacts, but the soldiers were few, and they couldn't rush in, so they ordered Sun Quan to come down and fight, Sun Quan didn't dare to move, seeing that Zhang Liao led the army very little, and the troops and horses came to aid Sun Quan, he commanded the sergeants to surround Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao rushed out, opened the gap and killed, dozens of people under Zhang Liao's command were able to escape, and the rest of the sergeants shouted: 'The general abandons me!' ’

Zhang Liao turned his horse's head, rushed into the encirclement again, and broke through the encirclement again to rescue the others. The Jiangdong army was invincible, and no one could stop it.

Li Dian also led his troops to volley from the flanks. The battle lasted from midnight to noon, and the morale of the Jiangdong army was completely lost. Zhang Liao returned to the city victoriously. The garrison was repaired, and the morale of Cao's army was greatly boosted, and the people's hearts were stable.

After that, Sun Quan besieged Hefei for more than ten days, but could not be captured, Cao Cao's army was returning to help, so he ordered the army to divide and break off with Ling Tong, Pan Zhang, Lü Meng, Jiang Qin, etc.

Retreating to Xiaoyaojin, Zhang Liao learned that the Wu army had retreated, and led the army to attack again, directly taking Sun Quan, the Jiangdong army was in chaos, and Sun Quan was surrounded.

Pan Zhang led his troops to fight to the death, Ling Tong also personally led 300 personal soldiers to rush into the siege to protect Sun Quan's retreat, and Lü Meng and Jiang Qin fought to the death to resist the enemy. Ling Tong rescued Sun Quan and turned back to fight again.

But the bridge has been destroyed by Cao Jun, the close prisoner Gu Li behind the horse, asked Sun Quan to hold the saddle, loosen the reins, Gu Li in the back to whip, to help the horse, Sun Quan quickly horse, leaping across the river, and He Qi rendezvous, Sun Quan successfully escaped.

Ling Tong and Pan Zhang continued to block the enemy's army, and their soldiers and horses were broken, suffering several wounds, killing dozens of people. ”

Liu Bei gasped when he heard this, and sighed: "Zhang Wenyuan is really a good general." ”

Ma Liang nodded, and Liu Bei summoned Pang Tong and Fa Zheng to discuss.

Pang Tong listened and said: "After this battle, Zhang Liao's name is afraid that he has already shocked Jiangdong. ”

Fa Zheng said: "In this way, Cao Cao is not injured!" ”

Maleonn: "I'm afraid so. ”

Fa Zhengdao: "If this is the case, Cao Cao is still strong, we will train soldiers and horses, accumulate grain, and when the time is ripe, the two northern expeditions, first set Yongliang, and then map the Central Plains." ”

Liu Bei said: "What filial piety says is very true. ”

Pang Tong said: "Ji Chang, I heard that there are Wuxi barbarians in Wuling. ”

Ma Liang said: "Exactly. ”

Pang Tong informed the Nanzhong recruitment of troops and the establishment of the Wudang Flying Army.

Ma Liang immediately understood: "Shiyuan asked me to go to Wuxi to recruit troops. ”

Pang Tong said: "Exactly, Wuling does not have its own heroes, it should be simpler." ”

Ma Liang nodded and said, "I'll go and do it immediately when I return to Jingzhou." ”

The next day, Liu Bei replied with Guan Yu and sent Ma Liang to bring him back to Jingzhou.

(It is impossible for Ma Liang to know such a detail, it is narrated through Ma Liang's mouth, please don't worry too much about this detail)
