The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 211

Yang Qiu returned to Daying and happily reported the situation to Han Sui, who was overjoyed.Order the soldiers to pile up firewood.Yang Qiu offered another suggestion: "Why don't you invite Ma Chao to drink and take the opportunity to kill him. His father died like this. Can the family be reunited if he dies like this?" Han Sui praised: "That's right, it's exactly what I want." Now he doesn't pretend anymore, all sworn brothers and nephews, get out, compared to the Marquis of Xiliang, his mother is far worse.

The problem was that Ma Chao had already deployed spies around Han Sui's camp. After hearing the news, he brought Ma Dai to Xingshi to question him, and happened to hear several people plotting against him.Ma Chao was furious, drew his sword in his hand, and said to Han Sui, "You bastards, you bastards, you're plotting against me, go to hell!"

As written in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Han Sui had his left hand cut off by Ma Chao.Ma Chao hacked two of the eight generals to death, wounded six, and all fled.

But the fire was still set off.

Ma Chao and Ma Dai were shocked, knowing that this was a signal of internal cooperation and external cooperation.Ma Chao's soldiers were not as many as Han Sui's subordinates, so he immediately thought of running away.But it was too late.As soon as he left the gate of the stronghold, Han Sui's six generals led the Liangzhou spearmen to attack with shouts.In all directions in front of the gate of the village, there was even more shouting and killing.Right in front of me and Wen Chou's Black Dragon Riding roared towards us.On the left is Zhou Cang Guancheng, and on the right is the Iron Buddha soldiers led by Zhang He and Wu Dun.

Ma Chao was submerged in the vast ocean by the endless tide of enemy soldiers before he ran a few dozen feet.Blood splattered, stumped limbs flew across the landscape, and screams filled the mountains and plains.Yuan Jun's absolute advantage gave Ma Chaojun a fatal blow.It's like a spider web that absorbs all the moths and bugs, and don't even think about running away.Soldiers from Xiliang will kill each other, it is a tragedy, brothers and sisters usually throw a sieve, gamble and drink, but today they don't recognize each other.

Fighting all night, when the sky was twilight, Ma Chao gradually broke out of the encirclement with his peerless bravery and martial arts, but he couldn't find Ma Dai.Helpless, he led more than 100 cavalry and fled to Longxi.An hour later, he ran to the edge of the Wei Bridge.Ma Chao thought, as long as he crossed the river and arrived at Jicheng, it would be fine.Suddenly, a cannon rang in my ear.Yu Jin led [-] soldiers, and when the generals came out, Yuan Jun's soldiers were screaming to capture Ma Chao alive.Cheng Kan had already caught up with Ma Chao, and the situation was extremely urgent. Yu Jin waved his hand, and five thousand crossbowmen fired arrows at the same time.

None of Ma Chao's cavalry was left, and all of them were shot to death. Yu Jin raised his sword and came to fight Ma Chao.Ma Chao charged desperately and killed hundreds of Yuan soldiers, but the encirclement was too thick and he couldn't get out.Ma Chao secretly sighed, could he die here today.Suddenly, there was a burst of dust on the southwest corner, and Ma Dai shouted: "Brother, I'll save you." Fall into the pit together.Immediately there was a scream of a beast being slaughtered in the pit.Ma Dai stepped on the horse, jumped out of the pit with the support of a big knife and survived.Looking back, I saw that there were still thousands of soldiers and horses, and the command continued to charge, but thousands of human heads and thousands of shiny and murderous crossbows protruded from a piece of thatch in the southwest corner.At Liao Hua's order, ten thousand crossbows were fired, and Ma Dai's soldiers were immediately destroyed.Ma Dai rolled around on the ground, avoiding the bad luck of becoming a hedgehog.But Yang Qiu, who caught up later, shot him in the shoulder.He passed out from the pain.When Ma Chao saw that Ma Dai was captured, he was left to ride alone. The surrounding enemy soldiers gathered together and clamored to capture him alive, especially those soldiers from Liangzhou, who hated him so much that they would hurt both sides.

Ma Chao was massacring Yuan Bing in desperation, when suddenly a cannon rang out, and Yang Fu and Jiang Xu led more than ten thousand soldiers and horses to kill them in mighty force.The soldiers shouted in unison: "Hurry up and save the lord, hurry up and save the lord." Ma Chao thought to himself that there are still loyal ministers at critical moments.He raised his iron gun and approached the rescuers.Yuan Jun's soldiers were terrified by Ma Chao's heroic killing, and they didn't dare to approach for a while, so Ma Chao fought his way out to join Yang Fu.Among the eight generals around Yang Fu, besides Jiang Xu, there are seven other brothers from his family.When Ma Chao saw that Yang Fu had brought troops and horses, he became ruthless, pointed at Yu Jin's commander-in-chief and said, "Follow me to kill, and the result is Yu Jin." Yang Fu said loudly, "I obey."Yang Fu and the eight generals around him gave a wink, and the nine of them raised their knives at the same time and slashed at Ma Chao.Poor Ma Chao, the majestic five tiger generals, was chopped into meat sauce without any preparation.

Pointing to Ma Chao's corpse, Yang Fu said, "He's self-willed and bloodthirsty, damn it, damn it."

Ma Chao was killed, and his soldiers were strangled by Liangzhou soldiers and Yuan Jun, and all died in battle.Han Sui issued a death order, and he must cut the grass and roots.Used to avenge his left hand.

The war fought until the sun was westward, and finally ended, and Ma Chao's army was wiped out.Ma Dai was captured alive, and Pang De did not participate in the battle in prison, but was also captured alive.

Han Sui lost his left hand and was in a coma. The remaining six generals under his command, Yang Fu and Jiang Xu, came to see me in Chencang City and waited for the reward.

Yang Qiu, Hou Zhan Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, and Liang Xing surrendered while Han Sui was unconscious.I ordered Zhang He to stay under the ban, led an army of [-] troops all night, and went to Liangzhou with Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin to accept the four counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang.These four counties are the Hexi Corridor of Liangzhou.In this way, even if Han Sui woke up, it would be too late to repent.

The army went to Lanzhou, an important town in Xiliang.This place is the gateway to the Hexi Corridor, and has always been a battleground for Hu and Han.The general guarding this place is Cheng Yin.Naturally it passes effortlessly.In Qianqian Wuwei, Zhangye, and Jiuquan, Yang Qiu, Zhang Heng, and Liang Xing guarded all of them without attacking themselves.Zhang He sent troops to garrison Yujin.

One month later, the army went straight to Dunhuang County in the desert along the Andun official road.A hundred miles out of Dunhuang is the territory of the ancient country of Loulan in the Western Regions.Han Sui's main defenses in Liangzhou in recent years are Wuwei and Dunhuang. The former is to defend against the Qiang people, while the latter is afraid that Loulan will take the opportunity to invade.Therefore, there are no less than 6 heavy cavalry and infantry stationed here.They are all predators who are used to fighting and have strong endurance.The harsh environment filled the blood vessels of these fighters with murderous intent and violence.

In April of the 209th year of Jian'an in 14 AD, the Hebei army arrived at Mingsha Mountain outside Dunhuang City.April is the season of scorching heat and scorching sun.The land of the Central Plains is so hot that it is hard to breathe.The Gobi Beyond the Great Wall is even more steamy and suffocated by heat waves.

There is a cliff at the east foot of Mingsha Mountain, and there is a big river five hundred feet across the cliff.Yang Qiu said it was called "Danghe", and the water flow was turbid and swift.The mighty water impacted thousands of tons of sediment, and the bang and explosion were deafening, and the momentum was extremely frightening.On the other side of the river, Sanwei Mountain and Mingsha Mountain face each other, forming an included angle.In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun, which is about to sink into the vast sea of ​​Gobi, penetrates the air and sprinkles colorful rays of light on Mingsha Mountain, reflecting thousands of golden lights, which is quite like the setting sun and colorful clouds flying in the west.

The desert is violently hot and dry, and the smoky wind blows gravel and hits the face, as if squatting next to the stove to warm up in the dog days.Although it is the same sun, the sun becomes hateful and poisonous in the desert, as if it wants to burn the whole desert.The army was still on the edge of the desert, and Yu Jin and the others felt as if they were in a stove.The residents here have spent extremely difficult years in the stinging wind and sand.

There was no wind, not even a whiff of wind, Yu Jin seemed to have fallen into a huge oven, the air was scalding his face, and the heat wave was burning.The soldiers behind him seemed to have entered a state of being on the verge of fainting.A layer of faint white smoke rises from the ground, dragged by the serpent-like breeze that accidentally drills out, and the eyes will become hazy for a while.

In this state, the Hebei Army crossed the Dang River.Unexpected things happened. Zhu Yuan, the deputy commander of the Dunhuang prefect, heard that the prefect Chengyi was killed, and the Central Plains was in chaos.He even had a heart of self-reliance and wanted to be king in Dunhuang.He refused to surrender to the Hebei army, and sent people into Xiqiang to ask Cao Cao for help.

The Hebei army could not adapt to the desert environment, and was defeated by the Xiqiang army and Zhu Yuansha.Zhang He led his men back to Jiuquan in Yuban.Feige sent a letter back to Chang'an for instructions.Han Sui has woken up from a coma.He is familiar with the dangers of desert warfare, and he said clearly that the Hebei army has no chance of winning, and this season is a deadly season.Don't talk about fighting, if you go to 100 people, I am afraid that only 50 people will come back.

I also know the cruelty of the desert. After thinking for a long time, I recruited Zhang Yun to retreat.Yang Fu, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin, and Jiang Xu were stationed there.Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin were fed up with the desert wind and sand, which made sense, and expressed their willingness to serve as officials in the Central Plains.Just what I want.It just so happened that Pang De asked to surrender, so he and Zhao Ang were sent to take over the two guarding Jiuquan.Six Xiliang generals, including Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin, and Liang Xing, were incorporated into the three major military regions of Hebei Army, Huainan, and Bingzhou, serving as division commanders and partial generals.Han Sui lost his left hand and became a useless person, and his ambition to strive for power and dominate the side was also reduced.Now that things have come to this point, I know it is impossible to go back to Liangzhou.Take the initiative to ask for orders to return to Luoyang with the army.In accordance with the previous promise, I named him the Marquis of Xiliang, General Anhan, and the governor of Jiaozhou.On the surface, Han Sui thanked him a lot, but he felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, but looking at his left hand, there was nothing he could do.Even if he went back to Liangzhou with this appearance, he wouldn't be able to accomplish anything.Rather than being bullied and ridiculed by arrogant soldiers, it is better to enjoy the happiness comfortably in Luoyang Huahua World.The most regrettable thing is that it is the last stop on the way to the Western Regions, Dunhuang.It was actually occupied by Cao Cao. After a long time, if Cao Jun advances into West Asia and crisscrosses between Kucha and Yili, it will be a serious problem.It's just that I don't want to go deep into this place where sand demons are rampant. I'd better wait for a while.

In May, the Hebei Army returned to Luoyang.Liu Weikang, Zhao Qu, Liang Kuan, and surrendered general Yin Feng Zhao Ang's nephew Zhao Yue were stationed in Jincheng, Didao, Shangbang, and Jicheng respectively.Hao Zhao still defended Chencang and guarded against Zhang Lu's Dongchuan army coming.Wen Chou recommended Feng Yi's prefect Zheng Hun to guard Chang'an together with Jing Zhaoyin and Gao Lan Gaorou Guo Jia.

Outside the city of Luoyang, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty lined up with hundreds of civil and military officials for fifty miles to meet him.The imperial edict asked me to "go to worship without a name, enter the court without going, and walk on the sword in the palace" and Dong Zhuo's treatment.He's becoming more and more like a powerful minister, and it's a bit uncomfortable.I thought that my buddies would also get the titles of Wei Gong and Wei Wang that day.But the most fearful thing is that the teacher Xun Yu objected.I remember that he strongly opposed Cao Cao's actions back then.It takes a surefire plan.For this kind of thing, I should discuss it with Jia Xu, he has a lot of bad ideas.

When I returned to the Prime Minister's mansion, before I could sit still, the memorial table was presented again, saying that Tian Yin and Su Bo, the Yellow Turban bandits in Pingyuan County of Jizhou, rebelled, and [-] cavalrymen threatened to welcome the emperor's uncle Liu Xuande to Jizhou.I was so angry that I was overfed. Liu Bei was thousands of miles away, how could he get there?However, this also shows that Uncle Liu Huang must get rid of it, and there will be endless troubles.
Mi Zhu and Ma Yan, who stayed behind in Jizhou, did not dare to act rashly, and hurriedly asked Luoyang for help.I sent Zhang Yan and Zhang Xiu to attack.Tian Yin and Su Bo were anticlimactic, the thunder was loud and the rain was light, and the slogans were very loud. In fact, they took the opportunity to do some activities of robbing families, occupying mountains, occupying mountains, and harming the people.This kind of uprising can also be used as a bargaining chip to raise one's status before surrendering.As soon as Zhang Yan and Zhang Xiu arrived in the plain, before the camp was set up, the two boys sent envoys to negotiate terms.Strongly demanded to be a general.Zhang Yan and Zhang Xiu almost turned their noses to the ground, and ran all the way, wasting countless supplies, just to deal with these two pustules?Looking at the soldiers and horses of the two who claim to be an army of [-], the mother is even more angry.Horses, there were none.There will be less than [-] soldiers.To put it nicely, the equipment is just not naked.All of them are skinny and have disheveled faces, just like beggars.Here and there is surrender, is it clearly looking for a place to make a living?There is no way but to bring it back.What comforted Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yan was that their martial arts were more or less passable, at least they could perform eight or ten moves under Zhang Yan's hands, which was not bad.

"You two are good at martial arts, but your military discipline is too bad. If you want to be in the Hebei army, you must abide by the rules. How about this, you will be Yamen generals, and you will be promoted after you have made great achievements." I was reprimanding Tian Yin and Su Bo.The two boys blinked and nodded deeply.Both of them are old-fashioned hats, and they don't know what the Yamen General is. When they heard the word "General" in it, they thought that the official position was not small, and they agreed with a smile.Shouted: "Long live, long live the prime minister, long live, long live." Someone just broke in.I froze in fright, these two idiots were still shouting long live!
"Shut up—" Jia Xu scolded the two of them angrily: "The prime minister still has important matters to deal with, you go out first, remember, the word long live, you must not yell indiscriminately in the future." Really, isn't the time ripe yet?

Tian Yin and Su Bo flattered and sent them to the horseshoe.He also knew that Jia Xu was the most popular celebrity in front of the prime minister.Not daring to say a word at the moment, he nodded and ran out.

Jia Xu held a sheet of paper in his hand, with a serious expression on his face: "My lord, look at what this piece of Lu is going to do. He actually got a nondescript note. Look."

It is really rare for Jia Xu to be so dignified, and it must be a tricky thing.I quickly took it over, suddenly in my heart.Zhang Lu advised the emperor to give me the seat of Zen.And asked for the conquest of Liu Zhang in Shuzhong.

I laughed loudly: "Mr. Wen He thinks Zhang Lu is ignorant, right?" Jia Xu's rare Monk Zhang Er was puzzled; "Is this clearly for fear of chaos in the world?" I said: "The truth can be guessed Come on his mind." Jia Xu made an unbelievable expression, I couldn't even guess it, but can you guess it?He casually sat down on the short table next to me, waiting to hear what I had to say.

"Ma Teng and Ma Chao were newly defeated. Hundreds of thousands of Xiliang people fled from the Ziwu Valley to Hanzhong in order to avoid the war. God, he wants to profit from it."

Jia Xu suddenly said: "In this way, we can use our strategy. We will issue an imperial edict to Zhang Lu, make him the governor of Pingxi, and let him attack Liu Zhang." I said dumbly: "Fight Liu Zhang? Liu Zhang has nothing to do with it. In our hands, it seems that the teacher is unknown?" Jia Xu said with a sneer: "Tomorrow, let Liu Cong of Jingzhou make a memorial to impeach Liu Zhang for selling private salt, saving grain and grass, recruiting soldiers and buying horses in Shuzhong. He ordered Zhang Lu to conduct a thorough investigation. Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother and brother, and the two had a sworn feud. He must feel that this was a great shame and humiliation, and sent troops to resist. Sending troops into Sichuan to crusade would make him famous. Liu Zhang’s father, Liu Yan, was furious because Liu Biao impeached him and rebelled. Liu Zhang and Jingzhou originally had revenge for killing their father. If Liu Cong impeached him, the hatred between the two sides would be over It’s even bigger, and I can’t even try to solve it. If Liu Zhang sent troops to attack Jingzhou in a fit of anger, Zhang Lu would surely attack Basil County by surprise, and the south would form a group. Would our army be able to take advantage of the fisherman’s left hand?”

I stood up at once, rubbed my hands together and said, "That's good, I'm just afraid that Liu Cong won't be impeached." Jia Xu snorted coldly and said, "Liu Cong? He can't make the decision now, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Zhang Yunzhi Liu holds great power, and doesn't pay much attention to a fledgling child. I got a secret report that the power of the Cai family and the Kuai family has continued to grow, and it has reached the point where it can't be lost. Even Liu Biao's widow, Mrs. Cai, can't control it.

Jingzhou has three powers at the moment, Mrs. Cai, Cai Mao, and Kuai Yue are all actively seeking foreign aid.The lord ruled Yongliang and Liangzhou prefectures, unified the north, shocked the world, and the princes were awed.At this moment, I just need to write a letter and give it to my wife. Forgive her for being a woman, she is weak, and dare not disobey your wishes. "

I laughed and said, "This matter has entered the city, and the surname of Shuzhong is Yuan." Recently, even Jia Xu was a little dazzled by the frequent victories, and urged: "It's not too late, my lord, write a letter and send it out when it's done." I have been so lucky recently that I feel like I am the right one; "Okay, get a pen and paper."

I picked up my pen, thought for a while, and wrote it down.Cai Hou's paper was folded, stuffed into an envelope, sealed with wax paint, and his soldiers were called to send it to Jingzhou as soon as possible.

Jia Xu sat for a while and was about to leave. I suddenly clapped my hands and said, "If there is a Shuzhong named Zhang Song, don't come to see me, please come in immediately. You must be polite and give orders for me. Mr. Wenhe must not forgotten."

Jia Xu walked out of the door and murmured, "What is Zhang Song, have you never heard of it?"

Liu Zhang's intelligence system is not for nothing. Zhang Lu is in Hanzhong to rectify the army and horses, and he is eyeing it. Liu Zhang's general, Pang Xi, the Brazilian prefect, heard about it early in the morning.Inform Liu Zhang.Liu Zhang was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, his face was sallow, and he said to the civil and military ministers below with trembling hands: "Zhang Lu is really a son of a bitch, and I didn't mess with him, why did he recruit troops for no reason?" Liu Zhang's men were quite talented, and many people suggested , the first strike is the best, send troops to attack Sanba, show Zhang Lu a little color, and let him behave.Liu Zhang is not willing to fight.Dead man, it's terrible! !Immediately shook his head and reprimanded Fazheng and Huang Quan who offered advice: "Both of you are not good people, and you keep saying that you will go to war, and the dead will be fun, right?" General Meng Da hurried up to echo: "My lord, what you said is very true. My lord is a man of benevolence and righteousness." Lord, how can you start a war with someone casually, I think it would be more serious to send a message to Uncle Liu Huang in Jiangling and ask him to come forward to resolve it."

A short stature, ugly than Pang Tong's civil servant, poked Meng Da with his hands: "What are you talking about? Liu Bei can't protect himself, so why ask him? In my opinion, it's better to seek help from Prime Minister Yuan. Yuan Xi, newly defeated Cao Cao, Ma Teng, who unified the north and deterred the world, who would dare not listen to him, is a hundred times stronger than Liu Bei."

Liu Zhang smacked his lips and said, "However, I have relatives with Liu Bei, and I have never met Prime Minister Yuan!" He is open-minded and has recruited countless heroes from all over the world, if the lord is interested, Zhang Song is willing to go to Luoyang, use his sharp tongue to convince Prime Minister Yuan, and send troops to rescue him."

Gongcao Yanpu said: "Yuan Bing is too powerful. It is easy to ask God to send God. Cao Cao is now stationed in Wuwei and Xiqiang. He has few soldiers and no place to live. Why not invite him to come and defeat Zhang Lu?" .”

Liu Zhang was cowardly and didn't pay attention, so he clapped his hands and applauded: "Well, let's invite Mr. Yan to go to Xiqiang and meet General Cao. Ask him to come to Sichuan to help."

Engaged Wang Lei said excitedly: "Cao Cao is an eagle, and his ambition is in the world. He can't believe it at all. Liu Bei is ambitious and has evil intentions, which is even more dangerous. It is best to send troops to defend Brazil. Zhang Lu may not be able to win. My lord, after dispatching The envoys went to Luoyang to ask the emperor and Yuan Xi for help, and asked them to send troops to attack Zhang Lu, so that it would be complete."

When Liu Zhang heard it, it was okay. He thought of a good idea self-righteously, stroked his beard and said, "That's it, let's send Meng Da to Jiangling to see Liu Bei, Zhang Yongnian to Luoyang to meet Yuan Xi, and Yan Pu to go west. Qiang sees Cao Cao and makes a decision based on the movement in these three areas."

A hint of cunning flashed across Junyi Xiaowei Fazheng's eyes, and he secretly felt something was wrong in his heart - but he didn't say it out, and Liu Zhang couldn't listen.
