Chapter 150
Chapter 150
Soon after Cao Cao became king of Wei, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang proclaimed himself the king of Shu, and at the same time issued a letter to beg thieves, calling on all the princes of the world to jointly fight against Cao Cao.
Although more than four hundred years have passed, Gaozu established a system that foreign surnames cannot be crowned kings, but it is still indestructible in the hearts of everyone. Therefore, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, Ma Teng of Western Liang, Han Sui, Jiangdong Sun Quan and other princes responded one after another.
Although Jingzhou Mu Liu Jun did not echo the text, he had already fought with Cao Cao in Nanyang.
Ma Teng and Han Sui gathered an army of 40,000 at Chen Cang and prepared to attack Yongzhou and Chang'an. Jiangdong Sun Quan had already dispatched troops in Yuzhang to accumulate grass and grain. Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, with Zhang Wei as the commander, Yan Pu as the military division, and Yang Ang and Yang Ren as the generals, gathered troops and horses outside the city of Nanzheng.
However, they all created a lot of momentum, but they did not really send troops. Obviously, they all want to pay the minimum price and get the maximum benefit.
The one who really moved was Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, who made Liu Bei a left general and Zhuge Liang a military master, leading an army of 10,000 to conquer Cao Cao.
Liu Bei took Chen Zhi as the vanguard, and the army soon reached Baishui Pass. After stationing the soldiers and horses here, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were immediately recalled.
After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei into Sichuan, they were sent by Liu Zhang to garrison the area around Jianmen Pass to prevent Zhang Lu from attacking Yizhou in Hanzhong.
"Big brother, it's going to be a war, and Old Zhang is willing to be a pioneer!" Zhang Fei was very excited when he saw that Liu Bei finally had soldiers and horses under his command.
During this time in the Shu military camp, because there were no soldiers and no generals under his command, he had to listen to others in everything, which made him extremely unhappy in his heart.
"Yide doesn't have to worry, the battle is yours." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said with a smile.
"Big brother, are you going to attack Hanzhong?" Guan Yu asked.
"Second brother, third brother, I am on the order of the King of Shu to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to the Northern Expedition against Cao Cao!"
"What? 10,000 soldiers and horses will let him fight Cao Cao, he Liu Zhang wants to borrow a knife to kill! As soon as Zhang Fei heard this, the excitement just now suddenly dissipated, replaced by endless anger, "Big brother, let Li lead a team of soldiers and horses, kill into Chengdu, take Liu Zhang's old man's head, and let the eldest brother be the king of Shu."
"Third brother, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei hurriedly rebuked Zhang Fei.
"Big brother, what the third brother said also makes sense, this is clearly that Liu Zhang does not trust us." Guan Yu was also very angry.
"Alas!" Liu Bei let out a long sigh, sadness from the heart, "It's all
the eldest brother who has tired the second brother and the third brother, otherwise, with the ability of the second brother and the third brother, how can ..."
"Big brother, don't say so, no matter how difficult it is, I will never leave the eldest brother!" Guan Yu said very firmly.
"Big brother, too!"
"Lord Lord, Yide, Yunchang, don't be too pessimistic, when the grain and grass are ready, we will leave Baishuiguan and go to Hanzhong. At that time, Liang will definitely find a foothold for the Lord! Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said confidently.
"What is Kong Ming's plan?"
"Lord, you can Ling Xianhe go to Nanzheng, meet Zhang Lu, and use the Xie Valley to expedition to the Central Plains!"
"Will Zhang Lu borrow the way?" Liu Bei understood that Zhuge Liang wanted to use false means to destroy Hanzhong, but he had no confidence.
"The Lord is going to beg the Cao thief and occupy the righteousness. And more importantly, we only have 10,000 soldiers and horses! Zhuge Liang smiled, "At this time, the lack of soldiers and horses is an advantage, and it will not cause Zhang Lu's suspicion and jealousy!"
"But we only have 10,000 soldiers and horses, and even if we enter Hanzhong, I'm afraid it's not..." Liu Bei still didn't have confidence.
"The lord rest assured that Cheng Yangsong of Hanzhong County is a greedy for money and forgetfulness, but he is deeply trusted by Zhang Lu. As long as we give him enough money, he will be of use to us! Zhuge Liang was obviously in his chest, "The lord must not worry about it when he arrives, and Liang will definitely seek Hanzhong for the lord!"
"Kong Ming rest assured, in the past, Jingzhou was Jingsheng's brother, and I can't bear to take it." Zhang Lu, Mi thief, I will definitely take it for Your Majesty!"
Therefore, Liu Bei immediately sent Jian Yong with a lot of belongings to Nanzheng to meet Zhang Lu and discuss the use of the Xie Valley.
Xu Huang led the army, and after leaving Wancheng, he quickly withdrew north, and reached Yique Pass on the same day.
Here, I met Zhu Ling, Zhao Jian, Cao Zhen, Cao Chun, Zhang Hu and others. When I learned that they were all defeated, I was shocked. 10,000 soldiers and horses, as well as nearly 2,000 cavalry, were all lost in Nanyang, and they were very annoyed.
"General, the soldiers are fast, we can't delay here!" Liu Ye reminded Xu Huang.
Of course, Xu Huang understood that the priority now was to go to Yangzhai and block Liu Jun.
"Wang Ping, order you to lead five thousand soldiers to guard Yique Pass, and at the same time receive General Xiahou!"
"No!"
"The rest of the army, after repairing for an hour, set off!"
"No!"
Xia Houyuan led 15,000 soldiers and horses, and after leaving Hao County, he quickly headed north.
During the entire Nanyang battle, Xia Houyuan was extremely unhappy in his heart. Because after coming here, he almost did not fight with the Han army, but only confronted here, thinking that after Xu Huang attacked Wancheng and Xincheng, he could fight Wei Yan. At that time, he must let the Han army know how powerful he is and cut off Wei Yan's head.
However, who would have thought that Liu Wei actually came to encircle Wei to rescue Zhao, forcing him to retreat, and leaving 5,000 soldiers and horses as bait.
Those five thousand soldiers and horses and Guo Huai will definitely be unable to escape in the end, and he is really aggrieved in his heart.
"General, the river valley here has narrowed, and there may be ambushes!" Jia Qi suddenly said to Xia Houyuan.
Xia Houyuan hurriedly looked around, sure enough, it was a little eerie, he was about to order the army to stop, when suddenly there were shouts of killing in all directions.
"Kill! Don't let go of a Cao Jun! "
Capture Xia Houyuan alive!"
Immediately after, a group of soldiers and horses rushed over and blocked the way.
"Xia Houyuan, Niu Jin has been waiting here for a long time!"
"Niu Jin?" Xia Houyuan wondered in his heart, how could Niu Jin appear here? However, he also knew that the situation was critical and could not be entangled, and immediately ordered, "Rush over!" "
The Cao army, led by Jia Qi, Sun Li and other generals, rushed forward.
"Drop the arrow!"
As soon as Niu Jin gave the order, the arrows were like flying locusts, and the soldiers of the Cao army fell to the ground one after another.
But Cao must have too many men and horses, and soon rushed over, and the two sides fought together.
After taking advantage of the superiority of weapons and killing and wounding many Cao troops, the Han army took the initiative to give way to the road, and the Cao army rushed over like a tide.
"Kill!" Niu Jin and his soldiers followed closely behind.
Those soldiers who had fallen behind, watching the Han army chasing after them, did not have the confidence to resist at all, and all knelt down and begged for mercy.
Niu Jin chased after him while collecting the prisoners.
After Xia Houyuan got rid of the pursuers, he counted the men and horses, and there were only more than 10,000 people left.
But unexpectedly, the Han army did not give up, and there was another ambush all the way, it was Liu Pan, the general of the Han army.
Liu Pan was different from Niu Jin, and the soldiers under his command were very brave, and Xia Houyuan had to let Sun Li break off, and by the time he rushed out, there were less than five thousand soldiers and horses.
Xia Houyuan looked at these embarrassed soldiers, and his heart was sad.
"General, look..." suddenly, Jia Qi said in panic.
Xia Houyuan fixed his eyes, and his face changed greatly.
