Chapter 292: Lie in Hanzhong
Chapter 292: Lie in Hanzhong
Ju County, Liangzhou Army Camp.
In the big tent, the generals of Longyou lowered their heads and sighed, looking sad.
Zhang Fei raided Han Sui's army outside the pass. With the military discipline of the Liangzhou army, does it need to be said?It seems that all the troops broke up and fled over the mountains and ridges, directly from outside Yangping Pass to the Juxian camp overnight.
Yan Xing, who stayed at the camp, was surprised and happy to see the army defeated. He quickly sent people out to gather the defeated army and look for the scattered generals. Yan Xing also learned from the defeated army that Han Sui had died in battle.
"The general died in battle, what should I do now?" Someone said sadly, wiping away tears.
Yan Xing thought for a while, then looked at Cheng Gongying and asked: "Cheng Gong's military advisor has been following the general for a long time. I don't know what he has to say?"
Cheng Gongying hesitated a little, looked at the generals holding military power, and said: "General Han unfortunately passed away, and now there are only two choices. One, you all ask Duke Cao to surrender, and Duke Cao will treat us favorably; second, The young master is in Jincheng, and we can support him in commanding the army."
Yang Kui wiped the tears on his face and said, "The general has been so kind to me. Isn't it wonderful that I can return to the army to greet the young master? Why should I surrender to Duke Cao and accept his orders?"
"Yes!"
"You have respect, young master." Someone responded.
Yan Xing secretly sneered in his heart. These people didn't want to respect Han Sui's son. They clearly wanted to use the name of respect and take the looted money to go back and become the king of the mountain.
Cheng Gongying looked at Yan Xing who remained calm and asked, "What does Yan Ming mean?"
Yan Xing could see through the thoughts of the generals, how could Cheng Gongying not know?This group of Kansai warriors are naturally gifted at killing and have a vulgar taste for bloodshed.Han Sui was able to suppress them with his former majesty, but now that he is dead, who can suppress them?
Han Sui's youngest son?
Don't be kidding, in the chaotic land of Kansai, the inheritance method of father to son in Kanto is useless.If Ma Chao hadn't relied on his fists, he wouldn't have been able to inherit Ma Teng's position.
In order to take care of his own future, Cheng Gongying prepared to find a partner and join Cao Gong.
Yan Xing put his hand on the wine bottle and said: "Han Gong died in the battle, and we should regard the young master as our master. However, the young master has little prestige and it is difficult to convince everyone, so he thinks that he should be the heir of Han Gong. Cao Gong, sits in charge of China. , with millions of soldiers under his command, he can be a good master."
After saying that, Yan Xing observed everyone's expressions and said: "Xingyu and you all, how about honoring the young master, surrendering to Cao Gong, and gaining worldly wealth?"
Yang Kui was very reluctant and said in a low voice: "How can we be so happy to surrender to Duke Cao? Besides, Duke Cao has no intention of looking west, what's the benefit of surrendering to Duke Cao?"
"idiot!"
Cheng Gongying cursed secretly in his heart, only a warrior like Yang Kui could be so simple.Cao Cao had been spying on Guanxi for a long time. If he had not taken Han Gong and Ma Chao into consideration, he would have taken action long ago.
"In that case, what a pity!"
"Den!"
After saying that, Yan Xing raised the wine bottle and slammed it to the ground. The sound of wine splashing made everyone nervous.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Kui held the hilt of his sword and scolded: "Yan Xing, what do you mean..."
Before he finished speaking, a large number of soldiers armed with swords and crossbows burst into the tent with murderous intent. They held up their crossbows and aimed at Yang Kui and other generals with their sharp arrow tips.Sword and shield soldiers also surrounded their group, waiting for Yan Xing's order.
"Yan Xing, Mr. Han's body is still cold, yet he did this. You are not a son of man!"
Yan Xing waved his hand and ordered: "You are deliberately causing chaos and disobeying Han Gong's order to clean up the moral code."
"kill!"
……
Han Sui took the Qishan Road to attack Hanzhong, but was defeated by Zhang Fei and drowned in the Han River.The generals Yan Xing, Cheng Gongying and others ambush Yang Kui, Jiang Shi and other generals in their tents, annex the tribe, write a letter to Wei Kang, the governor of Liangzhou, and send someone to report to Cao Cao.
Mianyang, Guanzhong Army Camp.
"Brother!"
Ma Dai stumbled into the tent and shouted: "Something bad is going to happen!"
Ma Chao did not raise his head, but read the bamboo slips and asked displeasedly: "What makes you so panicked?"
Ma Dai swallowed his saliva and said: "Brother, Zhang Fei was not in Hannan. He led his soldiers out of the pass through the pass and attacked and killed Han Sui who was attacking the city. Han Sui died today and his head was taken by Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei was released. Capture more than a thousand soldiers and let them defect to our army."
"what!"
The bamboo slip in Ma Chao's hand fell to the ground, with a look of horror on his face, he said: "Zhang Fei is not in Hannan, so who is the person who has been fighting with me these days?"
During Zhang Fei's absence, Lu Xun commanded his sergeants to decipher Ma Chao's plan several times, leaving Ma Chao with no choice but to hope that Yang Pingguan would be short of food and Yang Ren would surrender.
Then, Ma Chao got up angrily and cursed: "Old thief Han Sui, after fighting for so many years, he can still be easily defeated by Zhang Fei."
"Brother, what should we do now?" Ma Dai asked.
Ma Chao paced the tent angrily and said, "Don't let the defeated army enter the camp. We should choose another camp to place it."
"This~"
Ma Dai hesitated a little and said: "Ma Wan is greedy for the remnant soldiers of Longyou, so he has already collected the defeated troops and entered the camp."
"It's a big deal for me!"
Ma Chao angrily kicked the case away, causing the bamboo slips, inkstones and writing brushes on the case to scatter on the ground, and cursed: "The war will be ruined by Ma Wan's hands!"
Ma Chao could not tolerate being angry. Although the Kansai soldiers under his command were brave and brave, they were greedy for property.Now that he has received money and food from Nanzheng, he no longer has the faith to fight to the death. Instead, he only cares about money and food, as well as his hands and feet.Moreover, the soldiers also brought the plundered women into the camp, which broke the military discipline of the army.
Now that the defeated troops have entered the camp, the news of Han Sui's defeat will inevitably make the soldiers panic and want to withdraw their troops and return home.
Who said that Meng Zhang Fei was clueless? Ma Chao really had a headache when he encountered such a veteran who had been fighting for many years and had advisers at his side.
Ma Dai later realized this and suggested: "Brother, Han Sui was defeated and our army was unable to fight alone. Why not retreat to Hanzhong, kidnap the women and children, and take away Nanzheng's money and food. At that time, Han Sui was dead and there was no one in Longyou, so why not take the opportunity to attack, brother?" Longyou, do what Dou Rong did."
Ma Chao paced in the tent and said: "Hanzhong is not ours, and it is not impossible to withdraw. However, if we withdraw at this time, we are afraid that the enemy will pursue us. Now that Zhang Fei defeats Han Sui, he will definitely be in Yangping Pass. Please allow me to lure him." Zhang Fei went out to fight and looked for an opportunity to defeat him."
"promise!"
It's dusk, and the night is gloomy.
Yang Ping closed the gate, the flags were flying in the wind, and the sky was dyed with blood.The clouds are bright, the flags are flying, and the soldiers stand at attention.
Outside the city, Ma Chao led more than a thousand cavalry out of the camp, went to Yangping Pass to fight, and ordered people to send letters into the city.
"General!"
The attendant took Ma Chao's letter, ran into the hall, and said, "Ma Chao sent someone to deliver the letter."
Zhang Fei scratched his beard and took the letter to browse.Zhang Fei couldn't help laughing when he saw the contents of the letter.
"General, why are you laughing?" Yan Pu asked.
"I laugh at that horse's poor plan!"
Zhang Fei handed the letter to Yan Pu and said with a smile: "Now you actually invite me to go out of the city to fight with the generals to decide who belongs to Hanzhong."
Fu Xu smiled lightly, and Yan Pu said: "The general will have tens of thousands of troops sitting in Hanchuan River, and he cannot follow Ma Chao's wishes and go out of the city to fight against the general."
"hey-hey!"
Zhang Fei laughed a few times and ordered his surroundings, saying, "Let's move the wine to the tower. I'll drink and watch Ma Chao fight."
"promise!"
"Not so, General~" Wu Lanyu tried to persuade him.
Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he scolded: "I am the commander-in-chief of the army, and you have the right to speak."
Wu Lan complained in his heart. It seemed that only the military advisor and General Boyan could persuade General Zhang.
"Where is Zhang Fei's son? Do you dare to fight me?"
"If you don't dare to fight, go back to Wu Chu."
Outside the pass, the Guanxi cavalrymen were yelling and cursing. Ma Chao rested cross-legged, letting his horse move around as he pleased.
On the city tower, Zhang Fei was carrying a wine bag and drinking heavily. Seeing Ma Chao like this, he laughed. "Beat the drum to cheer up Ma Chao's men!" Zhang Fei ordered, wiping the drink from the corner of his mouth.
"General, how can we beat the drums when we have no soldiers and horses to fight today?" the soldier asked.
"If you are asked to beat the drum, just beat the drum. Why do you talk so much?" Zhang Fei said dissatisfied.
"Boom!"
The loud sound of drums on the city tower frightened the Guanxi cavalry outside the city to prepare. Ma Chao got on his horse, fearing that Zhang Fei would come out of the city.
"Ha ha!"
Zhang Fei laughed out loud when he saw Ma Chao in such a hurry.
After going back and forth three times, Ma Chao became extremely angry after being teased by Zhang Fei in this way.He wanted to ride his horse and shout towards the city, but was shot back by Yang Ping's crossbowmen.Ma Chao seemed to understand Zhang Fei's thoughts, and had no choice but to lead the Kansai troops back.
"Withdraw!"
Ma Chao spat angrily and said.
Under Ma Chao's military order, the Guanxi cavalrymen turned their horses and wanted to turn around and return to the camp.However, at this moment, the sound of drums sounded again from the tower.
"Crench!"
The closed gate of Yangpingguan suddenly opened, and Zhang Fei led his cavalry to rush out.
"Bastard!" Ma Chao yelled angrily.
Zhang Fei had so many tricks up his sleeve. Taking advantage of Ma Chao's retreat, he led his cavalry to attack.Now that Zhang Fei was charging out, the cavalry under Ma Chao's tent didn't know whether to retreat or turn around to fight, and their formation was in chaos.
"Ling Ming will lead his cavalry to retreat, and I will lead a hundred cavalry to the rear!" Ma Chao said, holding his spear.
Pound pulled the reins and said, "I will lead my cavalry to withdraw a hundred steps away and form a formation to meet the general."
"good!"
While he was talking, Zhang Fei relied on the speed of his horse and reached Ma Chao's cavalry with his spear, blocking the Qiang cavalry's spear.Then he thrust left and right, stabbing a Qiang rider to death, trying to break into the formation.
Ma Chao came from the side with a spear, blocked the attack, and stabbed Zhang Fei in the chest.
"Zhang Yide, do you recognize Ma Mengqi?"
Not only was Zhang Fei stopped by Ma Chao, but the cavalry on his left and right were also blocked by the Qiang cavalry under Ma Chao's tent, and they fought against each other.
Zhang Fei, who had been insulted for a long time, replied: "I am a minister of two thousand stones, how can I know the common people of Guanxi?"
Zhang Fei was born in Zhuojun. Although he was a border warrior, he also had a sense of superiority that despised the Kansai warriors.And now he is a general under Liu Bei, the overlord of the south. He has nothing to talk about with Ma Chao, the successor of the Qiang people.Unless Ma Chao is really from Fufeng Ma family, he can still make Zhang Feigao look at him a few times.
"Bastard!"
In anger, Ma Chao fought with Zhang Fei.
"Look at the lance!"
Ma Chao poked and picked, Zhang Fei twisted his waist to dodge, and blocked with his spear.While breathing, Zhang Fei turned to attack, and Zhang Feng swept towards Ma Chao's face.
Ma Chao bent down to avoid it, drew his sword with his backhand, and stabbed Zhang Fei in the thigh.Zhang Fei caught a glimpse of the cold light and pulled back to block Ma Chao's long sword.
Both sides were full of powerful generals. They exchanged blows several times in a short period of time, and their moves were fatal.
When Zhang Fei saw Ma Chao holding a sword, he was so happy that he hit Ma Chao with the sword.Ma Chao knew that his one-handed strength could not match Zhang Fei's, so he did not dare to resist, so he could only rely on his riding skills to dodge Zhang Fei's moves.
"General, there are too many enemy cavalry!"
The Qiang cavalry stabbed Nanqi to death. Seeing a large number of Nanqi coming out of the pass, they shouted loudly.
When Ma Chao saw more and more enemy cavalry coming out, he did not dare to fight for fear of being surrounded.
"Zhang Fei is to die!"
While Ma Chao was dodging, he looked for an opportunity to throw the long sword in his hand and flew straight towards Zhang Fei.
The sword was fierce, Zhang Fei hurriedly turned back and deflected the sword.But they saw that Ma Chao was already galloping away, and the riders on the left and right were already fighting and fleeing.
Zhang Fei'an would let Ma Chao go and pursue him, shouting: "Ma Chao, don't leave until I kill you!"
Ma Chao is accustomed to horse arching. He is not only good at bowing, but also proficient in bow skills.While running away, Ma Chao sneered when he saw Zhang Fei chasing after him, and reached for the heavy bow.
The next moment, I saw Ma Chao holding the bow and pinching the arrow, hiding in the horse's belly, stretching his ape arms lightly, bending the bow and shooting the arrow.The cold arrow shot out of the air and flew straight towards Zhang Fei's face.
"Whoosh!"
Hearing the sound of the bow, Zhang Fei was startled and subconsciously lay on his horse.Then, red flashed across Zhang Fei's eyes, only to see the red tassel on his helmet being shot away by Ma Chao's heavy arrow.
When Ma Chao saw that he failed to kill Zhang Fei with one arrow, he was very upset and continued to take the bow and shoot.How could Zhang Fei let Ma Chao go? He also took out his bow and arrow and shot at Ma Chao.
Then, Nan Qi followed Zhang Fei and charged towards Qiang Qi.Pang De, who had retreated into formation, met Zhang Fei's cavalry and met Ma Chao at the rear.
"General, the main camp is reporting that the enemy troops from Hannan are building a bridge to cross the river from the lower reaches." Hou Qi approached Ma Chao in the chaos and said.
Ma Chao looked at the fighting cavalry on both sides, gritted his teeth and said: "Fight and retreat, retreat to the camp!"
"promise!"
Seeing Ma Chao and his cavalry retreating, Zhang Fei led his cavalry in pursuit for several miles until they reached Ma Chao's camp.After killing nearly two hundred cavalry and capturing dozens of horses, Zhang Fei was satisfied with the small victory and then retreated his troops.
When Zhang Fei withdrew his troops, Pang Tong and Fu Kuang built a pontoon bridge as a partial army, preparing to cross the Han River and join the troops at Yangping Pass.
By the time the partial army crossed the Han River, the sky had turned dark. Zhang Fei set up a small banquet and invited Pang Tong, Fu Kuang and others to dine together.
Zhang Fei wanted to take the wine bag, but saw Pang Tong's eyes staring straight at him.He laughed a few times, then took the kettle and poured water.
"Why hasn't Boyan crossed the river?" Zhang Fei asked.
Pang Tong put down his chopsticks, wiped his lips, and said, "Bo Yan has moved his army downstream to confront Nanzheng across the water, hoping to take Ma Chao's retreat."
Zhang Fei scratched his beard and said: "Bo Yan is advancing like this. Ma Chao knows that he will panic. Coupled with today's small victory over Ma Chao, it seems that Ma Chao will withdraw his troops."
"Tong also thinks so!" Pang Tong said.
"General, Ma Chao is carrying food and baggage, so the withdrawal will be slow. The last general is willing to lead an elite pursuit and return with victory," Wu Lan said.
"slow!"
Seeing that Zhang Fei was about to agree, Pang Tong stopped him and said: "General, Ma Chao is not a general without plans. It may be difficult to gain any advantage if we pursue him now."
Zhang Fei pondered for a while and said: "Han Sui was defeated and died, and Ma Chao was defeated by me again. Military advisors should not be too cautious, as Ma Chao should not be worried."
"I will allocate five thousand troops to you to pursue Ma Chao." Zhang Fei ordered.
"No!" Wu Lan responded,
When Pang Tong saw that Zhang Fei insisted on pursuing the enemy, he said, "Wu Lan will be the vanguard in pursuit. The general can lead the army behind to avoid any unexpected events."
"good!"
Zhang Fei said happily: "If you defeat Ma Chao, Fei Ke can drink!"
At dawn the next day, Ma Chao burned his camp and withdrew his troops, collecting all the money and food from his troops to the rear army.
Wu Lan pursued his troops, but the soldiers in Guanxi saw Wu Lan attacking the rear army and were worried about their own money.Under the leadership of Ma Chao, they turned around and counterattacked Wu Lan.
The elite soldiers and horses in Guanxi defeated Wu Lan's troops.General Shan Lun was beheaded, and more than half of the sergeants were killed or injured.Fortunately, Zhang Fei responded and Ma Chao withdrew his troops.
At the beginning of Zhang Fei's reign in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu's old troops were too numerous and needed heavy troops to garrison him. After gathering the defeated troops, he gave up the pursuit of Ma Chao.
Lu Xun crossed the Han River and learned what had happened, and he and Pang Tong persuaded Zhang Fei to pursue them.However, Ma Chao, who entered the mountain road, personally blocked the rear and burned down the Baoxie Road, allowing the pursuers to return without success.

Ma Chao is accustomed to horse arching. He is not only good at bowing, but also proficient in bow skills.While running away, Ma Chao sneered when he saw Zhang Fei chasing after him, and reached for the heavy bow.
The next moment, I saw Ma Chao holding the bow and pinching the arrow, hiding in the horse's belly, stretching his ape arms lightly, bending the bow and shooting the arrow.The cold arrow shot out of the air and flew straight towards Zhang Fei's face.
"Whoosh!"
Hearing the sound of the bow, Zhang Fei was startled and subconsciously lay on his horse.Then, red flashed across Zhang Fei's eyes, only to see the red tassel on his helmet being shot away by Ma Chao's heavy arrow.
When Ma Chao saw that he failed to kill Zhang Fei with one arrow, he was very upset and continued to take the bow and shoot.How could Zhang Fei let Ma Chao go? He also took out his bow and arrow and shot at Ma Chao.
Then, Nan Qi followed Zhang Fei and charged towards Qiang Qi.Pang De, who had retreated into formation, met Zhang Fei's cavalry and met Ma Chao at the rear.
"General, the main camp is reporting that the enemy troops from Hannan are building a bridge to cross the river from the lower reaches." Hou Qi approached Ma Chao in the chaos and said.
Ma Chao looked at the fighting cavalry on both sides, gritted his teeth and said: "Fight and retreat, retreat to the camp!"
"promise!"
Seeing Ma Chao and his cavalry retreating, Zhang Fei led his cavalry in pursuit for several miles until they reached Ma Chao's camp.After killing nearly two hundred cavalry and capturing dozens of horses, Zhang Fei was satisfied with the small victory and then retreated his troops.
When Zhang Fei withdrew his troops, Pang Tong and Fu Kuang built a pontoon bridge as a partial army, preparing to cross the Han River and join the troops at Yangping Pass.
By the time the partial army crossed the Han River, the sky had turned dark. Zhang Fei set up a small banquet and invited Pang Tong, Fu Kuang and others to dine together.
Zhang Fei wanted to take the wine bag, but saw Pang Tong's eyes staring straight at him.He laughed a few times, then took the kettle and poured water.
"Why hasn't Boyan crossed the river?" Zhang Fei asked.
Pang Tong put down his chopsticks, wiped his lips, and said, "Bo Yan has moved his army downstream to confront Nanzheng across the water, hoping to take Ma Chao's retreat."
Zhang Fei scratched his beard and said: "Bo Yan is advancing like this. Ma Chao knows that he will panic. Coupled with today's small victory over Ma Chao, it seems that Ma Chao will withdraw his troops."
"Tong also thinks so!" Pang Tong said.
"General, Ma Chao is carrying food and baggage, so the withdrawal will be slow. The last general is willing to lead an elite pursuit and return with victory," Wu Lan said.
"slow!"
Seeing that Zhang Fei was about to agree, Pang Tong stopped him and said: "General, Ma Chao is not a general without plans. It may be difficult to gain any advantage if we pursue him now."
Zhang Fei pondered for a while and said: "Han Sui was defeated and died, and Ma Chao was defeated by me again. Military advisors should not be too cautious, as Ma Chao should not be worried."
"I will allocate five thousand troops to you to pursue Ma Chao." Zhang Fei ordered.
"No!" Wu Lan responded,
When Pang Tong saw that Zhang Fei insisted on pursuing the enemy, he said, "Wu Lan will be the vanguard in pursuit. The general can lead the army behind to avoid any unexpected events."
"good!"
Zhang Fei said happily: "If you defeat Ma Chao, Fei Ke can drink!"
At dawn the next day, Ma Chao burned his camp and withdrew his troops, collecting all the money and food from his troops to the rear army.
Wu Lan pursued his troops, but the soldiers in Guanxi saw Wu Lan attacking the rear army and were worried about their own money.Under the leadership of Ma Chao, they turned around and counterattacked Wu Lan.
The elite soldiers and horses in Guanxi defeated Wu Lan's troops.General Shan Lun was beheaded, and more than half of the sergeants were killed or injured.Fortunately, Zhang Fei responded and Ma Chao withdrew his troops.
At the beginning of Zhang Fei's reign in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu's old troops were too numerous and needed heavy troops to garrison him. After gathering the defeated troops, he gave up the pursuit of Ma Chao.
Lu Xun crossed the Han River and learned what had happened, and he and Pang Tong persuaded Zhang Fei to pursue them.However, Ma Chao, who entered the mountain road, personally blocked the rear and burned down the Baoxie Road, allowing the pursuers to return without success.
