Chapter 300
Chapter 300
Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Zhang formed an alliance, gathered an army of 350,000, and attacked Liu Jun in seven ways, which was huge.
Just after the New Year, all the soldiers and horses have begun to prepare. But until now, it has only been training soldiers and transporting food and grass. And the fastest to send troops was Cao Cao, and after his 80,000 troops arrived at the Xianshui Pass, the other routes began to move.
In Hanzhong, in the lower defense city, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Mi Zhu were seated.
"Master, Cao Cao and Liu Zhang have urged us three times to send troops. And Liu Zhang said that if we don't send troops again, he will..." Mi Zhu said worriedly.
"What will happen?" asked Liu Bei angrily.
"He will cut off our food and grass, and will also let the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong attack us
!" "Hmph! How can it be so reasonable!"
Liu Bei looked furious, "Liu Zhang's eyes are inconscientious, he has no opinion, the last time he actually believed Liu Jun's words and used despicable means to seize my Hanzhong, this time...
"Lord, although there are not many Shu troops in Hanzhong, they occupy Nanzheng and various dangers, strangling the throat point, although we have 20,000 troops, we can't use it, so my subordinates think that they can't turn their faces with the King of Shu now!" Zhuge Liang persuaded.
"Lord, the military master is right, otherwise we will be enemies on both sides. Mi Zhu also said quickly.
"The form is not good for us, I naturally know, but I just can't swallow this breath!" Liu Bei let out a long breath, although the soldiers and horses were his own, but the grain and grass needed to be supplied by Liu Zhang, "Kong Ming, in your opinion, what should we do?"
"Follow His Majesty's will, send troops!"
When Liu Bei led his army to Hanzhong, he planned to delay first, and once Zhang Ren and Ma exceeded the army, he looked for an opportunity to use these 20,000 soldiers and horses to occupy Hanzhong. At that time, Liu Zhang wanted to retake Hanzhong again, and it was not easy to gather troops and horses. At the same time, let Yongchang's Guan Yu directly send troops to Jianning, and then secretly contact Ma Chao to let him fight back, Liu Zhang took care of himself.
However, he did not expect that Liu Zhang had already prepared, and soldiers and horses were stationed in Baishui Pass, Dingjun Mountain, Gemeng Pass, and Yang'an Pass, plus the 10,000 troops in Nanzhengcheng, so that Liu Bei could not occupy Hanzhong. Even if it is barely occupied, it will not be able to gain a foothold.
Now Liu Zhang's repeated urging, Liu Bei really can't prevaricate.
"Then where do we send troops
?" "Xie Valley!" "
Why not Meridian Valley?"
Liu Bei asked, "Judging from the scout's intelligence, Chang'an is empty, and if the troops go out of Meridian Valley, they can directly occupy Chang'an."
"Lord, the grain and grass of the Han army are all in Chenwu, and even if we occupy Chang'an, it will not be easy to transport grain and grass from Meridian Valley. And to the east could not conquer Luoyang, and to the west there was Chencheng blocking the front, but would be trapped there, which was exactly the result Liu Jun wanted.
"Hao
Zhao, the defender of Chencheng, was originally a Cao general, and after Deng Aiqi attacked Tianshui, he cut off his back road and had no choice but to surrender." At that time, our troops will press the realm, and we may be able to take the city without bloodshed. Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan, "As long as there is enough food and grass, plus the risk of astigmatism, we can gain a foothold in the pass, and then slow down the western cooling." Zhuge
Liang had been thinking about their way out during this time, and suddenly found that Liu Liang had a mistake, that is, there were too few soldiers and horses in Guanzhong. Chengcheng is equivalent to their gateway to Guanzhong, although 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed here is not a small number, but the defender is a subordinate general, and has no reputation, which may be their opportunity.
In this case, he replied to Liu Zhang, and three days later, with the third brother as the vanguard, Chen Zhi as the general, Zi Zhong escorted the grain and grass, and the army went out of the Xie Valley to attack the city of Chen. Although Liu Bei was giving the order, his confidence seemed to be somewhat insufficient.
Three days later, Liu Bei led an army of 20,000 to finally leave Xiacheng and march along the Xie Valley towards Chencheng.
The news of Liu Bei's dispatch soon reached Chengdu, and Liu Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately summoned Huang Quan, Fei Guan, Zhang Song, and other important ministers to deliberate.
"Hah... Liu Bei finally sent troops. Liu Zhang seemed very relaxed, and the battle between him and Liu Bei was once again victorious.
"Congratulations to the lord, Liu Bei left Hanzhong, so he can let Ma Chao lead the soldiers and horses. Zhang Song is also very relaxed.
Liu Zhang, worried that Liu Bei and Ma Chao colluded with each other, suddenly attacked him, so before Liu Bei left Hanzhong, the army kept Liu Xun in command, and did not give Ma Chao military power.
"Immediately order Ma Chao, send Yin Ping!" Liu Zhang immediately ordered.
"Thirty
thousand troops have been assembled in Chengdu, and there are still 10,000 troops in Baxian County, a total of forty thousand, and the food and grass have been prepared to send troops at any time." Huang Quan said.
"Huang Quan escorted grain and grass, Zhang Song and Wang Lei were responsible for deploying armor and equipment, and three days later, the army set off!"
Ma Chao summoned Pound and Ma Dai.
"General
!" "Big brother!" "
Ha..." Ma Chao laughed a few times, "The King of Shu finally gave me the right to fight."
"Great!" Pound was thrilled to hear it.
"Yes, with these 50,000 soldiers and horses, I will definitely be able to retake Xiliang!" Ma Chao was full of confidence.
"Big brother, Yinping's Deng Ai has 20,000 troops, Li Yan's 40,000 troops have arrived in Wudu, and our forces are not superior!" Ma Dai was not as excited as Ma Chao and Pang De.
"Bo Zhan, your courage is too small!" Ma Chao smiled, "At the beginning, I defeated 10,000 Qiang troops with 3,000 soldiers and horses, and won the prestige of the Shenwu General, Deng Ai Li Yan, even if they have more soldiers and horses, how can they be my opponents!"
The eldest brother, Deng Ainai is a general of Zhenxi appointed by the Prince of Han, his flying battalion is good at surprising soldiers, 5,000 soldiers and horses can gallop through Yuzhou, the last time he detoured from Beidi County, raided Tianshui, so that Cao Cao was defeated, not to underestimate the enemy!
"Hugh wants to grow other people's morale and destroy his own prestige!" Ma Chao was angered by Ma Dai's words, "There are too many generals under Liu Jun, and in my opinion, they are all people who sell their reputations. Even Yang Fu Jiang Xu was named General He Fenyong and General Zhongyong. If I had waited in the Han camp, I am afraid that I would already be a general of the four towns at this time! Deng Aishan is a surprise soldier, but this time I want to fight against him dignifiedly, attacking the city and defending the city, relying on strength, can he still be unable to strategize?"
"The general is right, Deng Aishan is a surprise soldier, but this time he is defending the city, so in the end, we will march quickly and attack Yinping before Li Yan's army arrives!"
"Good, Ma Chao gave the order of the marshal, beat the drums and gather the generals, I want to send Yin Ping!" Ma Chao immediately ordered.
"No!"
