At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the heroes were divided into separate kingdoms.
Because Liangzhou is far away from the Central Plains, its power is the most complicated. The two largest forces are Ma Chao and Han Sui.
"But they all accepted the imperial court's recruitment and did not openly oppose the Han Dynasty.
There was a man in Liangzhou who could be called daring. This man was Song Jian. He took advantage of the melee in the Central Plains and the Eastern Han Dynasty had no time to look west, and established a separate kingdom in Panghan.
What¡¯s interesting is that he claimed to be the King of the Han Dynasty at the head of the river, and appointed hundreds of officials. He also had all the official positions in the Han Dynasty.
This is a true rebellion.
The reason why Xia Houyuan ignored Ma Chao was because he wanted to pacify Song Jian. He personally led his troops from Xingguo, and went deep into Jincheng County alone. He divided and surrounded them, attacked with light troops, and defeated them one by one. The army reached the foot of Fuhan City.
Originally, Jincheng County had Han Sui leading the way, and Song Jian's life was comfortable. Now that Han Sui had escaped, Song Jian was at a loss when facing Cao Cao's army.
Under the supervision of Xia Houyuan, Cao's army attacked the city day and night, quickly captured the city, and beheaded all the officials appointed since Song Jian and his prime minister.
Not only that, Xia Houyuan also personally led his troops across the Yellow River and penetrated deep into Xiaohuang, threatening the hinterland of the Qiang people.
Most of the troops of Ma Chao and Han Sui are here.
In order to survive, many tribes took refuge in Xiahou Yuan and sent their strong men to assist the officers and soldiers in fighting.
Xia Houyuan¡¯s momentum is huge!
Ma Chao sensed the crisis and quickly sent people to find Han Sui to form an alliance and restore relations. Unfortunately, on the way, the messenger learned that Han Sui had died of illness.
Tian Le, Yang Kui, Qu Yan, Jiang Shi and others beheaded Han Sui's head and sent it to Xia Houyuan. Xia Houyuan sent people to hurry up and present it to Cao Cao who was in charge of Chang'an.
"We are the only ones left in Liangzhou." Ma Chao said sadly.
"Brother, no matter what happens, I will be by your side." Ma Dai said firmly.
"Okay! We two brothers will get through this difficult time together," Ma Chao said.
However, things backfired. After learning that Xia Houyuan had conquered the Qiang territory, many Qiang people left Ma Chao.
The troops dispersed, and in the end only 70,000 to 80,000 troops remained.
With this small force, how can we fight against Xia Houyuan?
At the beginning, the Xiliang Allied Army was huge, with more than 400,000 troops, and was no match for Cao Cao's army.
Ma Chao is alone and unable to support himself, and his subordinates are tired of fighting.
In this situation, Ma Chao had no chance of winning against Xia Houyuan.
"Why not join Zhang Lu in Hanzhong?" Ma Dai said.
Ma Chao looked sad. Apart from this step, is there any other way he can take?
Zhang Lu was overjoyed and went out to Hanzhong in person to greet Ma Chao, and made Ma Chao the capital's chief minister.
Hanzhong is a treasure land. Zhang Lu has developed very well here. Apart from occasionally beating Liu Zhang, there are no external enemies.
Zhang Lu has no shortage of civil servants, but only strong generals. Now Ma Chao has come to join him, which is exactly what he wants.
I originally planned to marry my daughter to Ma Chao, but after the persuasion of my subordinates, I regretted it.
"My lord, Ma Chao is a ferocious tiger, and he still has 70,000 to 80,000 men under his command. How many troops do we have?" Yang Bai said.
Zhang Lu was therefore wary and had a gap in his heart.
Ma Chao didn¡¯t know.
One day, Zhang Lu received a letter asking for help from Liu Zhang. The letter stated that as long as Zhang Lucen sent troops to defeat Liu Bei, Liu Zhang would cede half of Yizhou's territory.
Zhang Lu was tempted.
"Lord, this matter can be handed over to Ma Mengqi to weaken the troops in his hands." Yang Bai said.
????????????????????????????????
Zhang Lu liked it, so he conveyed military orders to Ma Chao.
When Ma Chao first came to Hanzhong, everything he ate and drank belonged to Zhang Lu. It was natural to work for him, so he accepted the appointment.
In this way, Ma Chao was the commander-in-chief and Yang Bai was the deputy general. They commanded an army of 100,000 and attacked Jiameng Pass.
The guard general of Jiameng Pass is Huo Jun, a ruthless man.
"You can get my head, but you can't get this city."
But there are only three thousand defenders in the city. How can he resist Ma Chao's army?
?Of course, asking for help.
Liu Bei tried to attack Chengdu several times, but all ended in failure, and he was very angry.
"Damn Marquis Dongyang, he actually sold Liu Zhang so many equipment, otherwise Chengdu would have been captured long ago.
Chengdu was not captured here, but the situation at Jiameng Pass began to become tense.
It's urgent.Liu Bei then led Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to Jiameng Pass to face Ma Chao. After Guan Yu arrived at Jiameng Pass, he happened to meet the enemy general Yang Bai. After less than ten rounds of competition, Yang Bai retreated.
Guan Yu chased after him and met Ma Dai. Go forward and challenge him. In less than ten rounds, Ma Dai was defeated. Guan Yu was eager to succeed and continued to pursue, but was shot in the left arm by Ma Dai.
At this time, Zhang Fei and his troops arrived, rescued Guan Yu, and soon defeated Ma Dai.
Relying on the bravery of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Beijun quickly established an advantage.
The next day, Liu Bei took Zhang Fei to the formation of the two armies and shouted with Ma Chao.
"Ma Mengqi, I have no enmity or enmity with you, why did you raise an army to attack me?"
"Humph, where does all this nonsense come from?" Ma Chao snorted coldly.
"You're right, I don't want to listen to nonsense either." Zhang Fei said.
Liu Bei's face was full of dark lines, and he almost doubted whether Zhang Fei was one of his own.
Zhang Fei immediately started a fight with Ma Chao.
The two sides fought for more than a hundred rounds, fighting to the death, and the outcome was indeterminate.
"Ma Mengqi, come again!" Zhang Fei suddenly became violent and launched several powerful moves in a row, which made Ma Chao tired of dealing with it.
"It's a pity that Zhang Fei has a pig teammate.
Liu Bei suspected that this was Ma Chao's treacherous plot, and feared that the Jiameng Pass would be compromised, so he ordered his troops to retreat.
grass!
Zhang Fei was unhappy and went back cursing.
"Brother, I can still fight again!"
"Yide, I know your bravery, but Ma Chao is not weak either. Now that Yun Chang has been injured by a hidden arrow, you are the only one left to charge into the battle. I am worried about my brother." Liu Bei said.
"Brother, don't worry, please allow me to fight again." Zhang Fei insisted, his eyes very firm.
There is a strong intention to beat Liu Bei up if he is not allowed to fight
"Yide must be careful."
"I know."
After Zhang Fei rested for a while, he went into battle again and fought Ma Chao for more than a hundred rounds, and the fight was inseparable.
The horses on both sides were exhausted, but the two men were still extremely brave, as if their strength was endless.
Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Bei planned to fight again the next day, but Zhang Fei refused.
"Yide, don't act nonsense!"
"Brother, Yide still has some strength left." Guan Yu spoke helpfully.
Liu Bei sighed and returned his gaze to the battlefield.
Ma Chao was also eager to fight and asked to fight Zhang Fei at night.
The two armies lit a bonfire, and Ma Chao and Zhang Fei fought for dozens of rounds without deciding the outcome.
Liu Bei was already dozing off.
It wasn¡¯t until the two of them were exhausted that they gave up.
After returning to Jiameng Pass, Liu Bei was worried.
"It's not an option to continue fighting like this. If my moral integrity is damaged, my conscience will feel bad."
"Don't worry, brother, dying in battle is a man's true nature."
Just when Liu Bei was about to reprimand Zhang Fei, Fazheng spoke.
"This battle does not require a general to fight to the death. Someone has a plan to defeat the enemy." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
