Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Zhang formed an alliance, assembled an army of 350,000, and divided into seven groups to attack Liu Cong with great momentum.
???????????????????????????????????????????????¡ But up to now they have only been training soldiers and transporting food and grass. But it was Cao Cao who really sent troops the fastest. After his 80,000 troops arrived at Sishui Pass, other parties began to take action.
Hanzhong, in Xiabian City, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Mi Zhu were seated respectively as guest and host.
"My Lord, Cao Cao and Liu Zhang have urged us three times to send troops. And Liu Zhang said that if we don't send troops, he will" Mi Zhu said worriedly.
"What will happen?" Liu Bei asked angrily.
"He will cut off our food and grass, and will let Hanzhong's soldiers and horses attack us!"
"Huh! This is so unreasonable!" Liu Bei looked furious, "Liu Zhang is short-sighted and has no independent opinion. Last time he believed Liu Cong's greedy words and used despicable means to seize my Hanzhong. This time I"
"My lord, although there are not many Shu troops in Hanzhong, they occupy Nanzheng and various dangerous passes and choke the choke point. Although we have an army of 20,000, we are unable to display it. Therefore, I think we cannot fight with the King of Shu yet. Fall out!" Zhuge Liang advised.
"My lord, what the military advisor said is right, otherwise we will be attacked from both sides." Mi Zhu also said quickly.
"The situation is not good for us. Of course I know it. I just can't swallow this breath!" Liu Bei let out a sigh of relief. Although the troops and horses are his own, Liu Zhang needs to supply food and grass. "Kong Ming, in your opinion, what should we do? ?¡±
"Follow your Majesty's will and send out troops!"
When Liu Bei led his army to Hanzhong, he planned to delay it first. Once Zhang Ren and his horse exceeded the number of troops, he would look for an opportunity to use the 20,000 troops to occupy Hanzhong. At that time, Liu Zhang wanted to recapture Hanzhong again, and it was not easy to gather troops and horses. At the same time, he asked Guan Yu of Yongchang to directly send troops to Jianning, and then secretly contacted Ma Chao to ask him to counterattack, so Liu Zhang had no time to take care of himself.
But he didn¡¯t expect that Liu Zhang had already prepared. Soldiers and horses were stationed at Baishui Pass, Dingjun Mountain, Jiameng Pass, and Yang¡¯an Pass. In addition, there were 10,000 troops stationed in Nanzheng City, making it impossible for Liu Bei to occupy Hanzhong. Even if they barely occupy it, they won't be able to gain a foothold.
Now Liu Zhang is urging him again and again, and Liu Bei really can't deal with it.
"Then where do we send troops from?"
"Xiegu!"
"Why not Ziwu Valley?" Liu Bei asked, "Judging from the intelligence from the scouts, Chang'an is empty. If the troops leave Ziwu Valley, they can directly occupy Chang'an."
"My lord, all the grain and grass of the Han army are in Yiwu. Even if we occupy Chang'an, it will not be easy to transport grain and grass from Ziwu Valley. We can't attack Luoyang to the east, and there is Yicheng blocking the way to the west. Instead, we will be trapped there. , which is exactly the result Liu Cong wants."
"There are 10,000 troops stationed in Xicheng. The city is strong. Can we conquer it?"
"Hao Zhao, the defender of Yicheng, was originally Cao Cao's general. After Deng Ai unexpectedly attacked Tianshui, his retreat was cut off, so he had no choice but to surrender. When the time comes, our troops will press the border, and with some understanding, we may be able to capture Yicheng without any bloodshed." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said, "As long as there is sufficient food and grass and the risk of astigmatism, we can gain a foothold in Guanzhong and then slowly move towards Xiliang."
Zhuge Liang has been thinking about their way out during this period, and suddenly discovered that Liu Cong made a mistake, that is, there were too few soldiers and horses in Guanzhong. Yicheng is equivalent to their gateway into Guanzhong. Although 10,000 soldiers and horses are stationed here, which is not a small number, the guarding general is a reduced general and has no reputation. This may be their opportunity.
"In this case, I will reply to Liu Zhang. In three days, with his third brother as the vanguard, Chen Dao as the general, and Zizhong as the escort, the army will leave the Xie Valley and attack Yicheng." Although Liu Bei was giving the order, his confidence seemed a bit lacking.
"No!"
Three days later, Liu Bei led an army of 20,000 people to finally leave Xiabian and march toward Xicheng along the inclined valley.
The news of Liu Bei's dispatch of troops soon spread to Chengdu, and Liu Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately summoned Huang Quan, Fei Guan, Zhang Song and other important ministers to discuss matters.
"HaLiu Bei finally sent troops." Liu Zhang seemed very relaxed. The contest between him and Liu Bei had once again won.
"Congratulations, my lord, now that Liu Bei has left Hanzhong, you can let Ma Chao command the troops." Zhang Song was also very relaxed.
Liu Zhang was worried that Liu Bei and Ma Chao would collude with each other and suddenly attacked him. Therefore, before Liu Bei left Hanzhong, the army was led by Liu Xun and did not give Ma Chao military power.
"Send an order to Ma Chao immediately, and the troops will be at peace!" Liu Zhang immediately ordered.
"No!"
"Gong Heng, how is your army prepared?"
"Thirty thousand troops have been assembled in Chengdu, and there are another 10,000 troops in Bajun, a total of 40,000. We have sufficient food and grass ready to send troops at any time." Huang Quan said.
"Huang Quan will escort the grain and grass, Zhang Song and Wang Lei will be responsible for allocating armor and equipment. Three days later, the army will set off!"
"No!"
??In the military camp outside Zitong City, in Ma Chao's commander's tent.
Ma Chao summoned Pang De and Ma Dai.
"General!"
"Brother!"
"Ha" Ma Chao laughed a few times, "The King of Shu finally gave me the military power."
"Great!" Pang De was extremely excited when he heard this.
"Yes! With these 50,000 soldiers and horses, I will definitely be able to take back Xiliang!" Ma Chao was full of confidence.
"Brother, Deng Ai in Yinping has an army of 20,000, and Li Yan's army of 40,000 has arrived in Wudu. Our troops are not dominant!" Ma Dai was not as excited as Ma Chao and Pang De.
"Bo Zhan, you are too cowardly!" Ma Chao smiled, "Back then I defeated 10,000 Qiang troops with three thousand soldiers and horses, and won the reputation of the Shenwu General. Deng Ai and Li Yan, even though they have No matter how many soldiers and horses you have, they are no match for me!"
"Brother, Deng Ainai is the General of Zhenxi who was professed by the King of Han. His Feitian Camp is good at producing extraordinary troops. Five thousand soldiers and horses can gallop across Yuzhou. The last time he detoured from Beidi County, he raided Tianshui and defeated Cao Cao. Don't underestimate the enemy. ! Li Yan killed the Tibetan tyrants, attacked Chang'an, and made great achievements in battle. He was named the General of the Western Conquest by the King of Han. How could he"
"Don't try to increase others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige!" Ma Chao was angered by Ma Dai's words, "There are too many generals under Liu Cong. In my opinion, they are all people who are just trying to gain fame. Even Yang Fu and Jiang Xu What are they called the brave generals and the loyal generals? What are their abilities? If I had waited in the Han camp, I would have been the general of the four towns by now! Deng Aishan's surprise attack is true, but this time I want to confront him openly and attack the city. Defending the city depends on strength, could it be that he can also use a strategy?"
"The general is right, Deng Aishan sent out surprise troops, but this time he was defending the city, so the general thought that we had to march quickly to capture Yinping before Li Yan's army arrived!" Pang De said.
"Okay! Immediately pass the commander's order, beat the drum and gather the generals, I want the army to be peaceful!" Ma Chao immediately ordered.
