"I don't know the specific method, but after you obtained Jiaozhi, my allocated resources doubled, otherwise I wouldn't even be qualified to negotiate."
"Yeah, I got it"
Zhuge Liang ordered Zhang Fei to lead his army into Sichuan from the main road and take Ba County first. He and Zhao Yun led their troops into Sichuan via the waterway and met at Luocheng. Whoever arrived first would be the first to win. He also warned Zhang Fei: There are many heroes in Sichuan, so don't underestimate the enemy. We must conquer the hearts of the people, enforce strict military discipline, and do not whip the soldiers.
Zhang Fei marched in accordance with the military advisor's instructions. The defenders along the way watched the wind and descended. When they came to Bajun, the prefect Yan Yan stayed in seclusion and refused to surrender. Zhang Fei challenged him many times, but was shot back with random arrows. Zhang Fei was so anxious that he came up with a plan and ordered his sergeants to go up the mountain to cut firewood and find a way out. Yan Yan had not seen Zhang Fei in the city for several days and became suspicious. After learning about this, he also sent several soldiers to pretend to be Zhang Fei's firewood-cutting sergeant and infiltrate him. Zhang Fei deliberately announced in public that he would sneak through Bajun through a small road that night to get Luocheng; but secretly arranged for a sergeant to pretend to be himself and lead the way. Yan Yan was overjoyed when he heard the news. He wanted to intercept Zhang Fei's food and baggage, so he led his troops to ambush in the bushes on the roadside. After the fake Zhang Fei passed by, Yan Yan led his ambush troops to rush out. When he was about to seize the chariot, he unexpectedly heard a gong sound behind him. After breaking out of Zhang Fei, Yan Yan was stunned and at a loss, and was captured alive by Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei captured Bajun and came out to pacify the people. The swordsmen pushed Yan Yan out and flew him to the hall. Yan Yan refused to kneel down. Zhang Fei shouted angrily: "You old man, how dare you resist?" Yan Yan showed no fear and yelled at Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei was furious and beheaded everyone on the left and right. Yan Yan's face did not change and he shouted: "If you want to kill, kill, if you want to chop, chop! There are only beheaded generals in Xichuan, and no one who has to kneel!" Seeing Yan Yan's generosity and loyalty, Zhang Fei regarded death as home. With great respect, I personally untied his bonds, helped Yan Yan sit high in the middle, lowered his head and bowed. Yan Yan was grateful for his kindness and surrendered. Flying with Yan as the front, he successfully arrived at Luocheng.
Liu Bei conquered Luocheng and advanced towards Mianzhu. Liu Zhang was left alone and helpless and had to seek help from his old enemy Zhang Lu.
Cao Cao once used counterintuitive tactics to defeat Xiliang's army. After Ma Chao's defeat, he was eager for revenge. Although he was helped by the Qiang people and became powerful for a while, he was eventually left alone due to the small number of people and his credulity in surrendering generals. When he was defeated and retreated to Jicheng, his wife and children were killed. He was killed and had no choice but to defect to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Zhang Lu sent Ma Chao to attack Jiameng Pass to contain Liu Bei and save Liu Zhang.
Zhuge Liang used a trick to provoke Zhang Fei to go to meet the enemy, and Liu Bei also went to supervise the battle in person. Ma Chao challenged, Zhang Fei met him with a spear. He had long wanted to meet this tiger general. The two fought fiercely for more than a hundred rounds in front of the pass, with no winner or loser. Liu Bei was watching the battle at the gate and saw Ma Chao in extraordinary attire and bravery. He was afraid that Zhang Fei would make a mistake, so he ordered his troops to retreat. Zhang Fei returned to the formation without a helmet, only wrapped in a scarf, mounted his horse and went out into the formation, and then fought with Ma Chao. The two fought for more than a hundred rounds, but still couldn't decide the outcome. Liu Bei once again offered gold and retreated his troops. At this time, it was getting late, and Liu Bei said: "Ma Chao is brave. Don't underestimate the enemy. Let's retreat to Shangguan and fight again tomorrow." Zhang Fei was eager to kill, so he shouted: "Order the sergeants to light more torches and arrange for a night battle." Before Ma Chao changed his horse and went out into the formation, he shouted: "Zhang Fei, do you dare to fight at night? If you have the courage, light a torch and fight tonight!" Zhang Fei immediately changed his mount, rushed out of the formation, and shouted: "Are you still afraid of you? Light a torch. Ma Chao, I can't catch you today, and I swear I won't come back." Ma Chao said, "Zhang Yide, I can't kill you today, and I swear I won't come back to camp." The two armies lit up thousands of torches, The two generals each showed their prestige. Liu Bei was so brave that he went down to the city in person to resolve the fight, and then the two of them returned to their respective formations.
Liu Bei intended to take over Ma Chao, a tiger general. He used Zhuge Liang's plan and sent Sun Qian to bring gold and silk to make friends with Zhang Lu's counselor Yang Song. He then sent a letter to Zhang Lu, so that Zhang Lu ordered Ma Chao to withdraw his troops, and he sent Li Hui to persuade Ma Chao to surrender. . Liu Bei finally subdued Ma Chao and approached Chengdu. Liu Zhang was forced to surrender in Kaicheng. Liu Bei placed Liu Zhang in the Public Security Bureau and took charge of Yizhou as a pastoralist, laying the foundation for the Shu Kingdom, one-third of the world.
Liu Bei captured Xichuan, and Sun Quan wanted to claim Jingzhou back. According to Zhang Zhao's plan, he imprisoned Zhuge Jin and his wife in the mansion. At the same time, he wrote a letter instructing Zhuge Jin to go to Xichuan to claim Jingzhou back from Liu Bei. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang agreed to return the three counties of Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang first. Zhuge Jin went to Jingzhou to ask Guan Yu to hand over the three counties, but was severely rejected and returned angrily.
Sun Quan blamed Lu Su for not being a guarantee in the first place and lending Jingzhou to Liu Bei. Lu Su was so anxious that he made a plan and stationed troops at Lukou. He asked Guan Yu to cross the river to attend the meeting and set up an ambush at Linjiang Pavilion in order to force Guan Yu to hand over Jingzhou; if Guan Yu did not As soon as he kept the appointment, he marched to seize Jingzhou.
Guan Yu saw through his plan and was not afraid. He went to the meeting alone in a small boat with only Zhou Cang and a few personal followers. He ordered Guan Ping to lead his fleet to wait on the river. When he saw the red flag rising, he crossed the river to respond.
The messenger reported back to Lu Su: Guan Yunchang graciously agreed to meet him at Linjiang Pavilion tomorrow. Lu Su ordered Lu Meng and Gan Ning to each lead an army and ambush on the bank, waiting for Guan Yun's troops to arrive. They would use the sound of cannons as a signal to fight out together. If Guan Yu did not have troops to come, he would only ambush swordsmen and axemen behind the court and listen. Zi Jing threw a cup as a signal and killed him in front of the banquet.
The next day, Guan Yu crossed the river. During the dinner, Lu Su mentioned the matter of returning Jingzhou, and Guan Yu replied: "In the fierce battle at Chibi, my brother Liu Huangshu personally took the target, and Zhuge's military advisor went all out to defeat Cao Cao with Wu. His achievements were great. How can it be in vain? ." "Kang Jingzhou belongs to Liu Biao, and my brother should inherit the Han family's inheritance." Lu Su was unable to retort, and just when he stood up to throw the cup, Zhou Cang stepped forward and said sternly to Lu Su: "Only the virtuous will live in the land of the world. So, is it possible that only Soochow can possess it?" Guan Yu took advantage of the situation and snatched the sword from Zhou Cang's hand, and deliberately angrily scolded Zhou Cang: "This is a national matter, how dare you say more, why don't you go quickly!" Guan Yimu hinted to Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang understood, and ran to the river bank, waving the red flag, and the Guanping fleet came rushing in.
At this time, Guan Yu held the knife in his right hand and grasped Lu Su's right wrist holding the cup with his left hand. He pretended to be drunk and pulled Lu Su to the riverside. When the Soochow soldiers saw Governor Lu being dragged out of the pavilion by Guan Yu, they did not dare to take action.
After Guan Yu boarded the ship, Guan Ping's relief fleet had arrived, and Lu Su could only watch Guan Yunchang sail away in the wind.
Guan Yunchang used his extraordinary courage to defeat Soochow's plan to seize Jingzhou. Sun Quan was furious when he heard the report and wanted to raise an army to conquer Jingzhou. Suddenly he received a report: "Cao Cao has led an army of 300,000 to invade again." Sun Quan had to move his troops to Hefei and Ruxu to resist Cao Cao.
Cao Cao led his troops to conquer Hanzhong from the west, conquered Zhang Lu, and occupied Dongchuan.
In order to prevent Cao's army from invading Xichuan, Zhuge Liang made a plan with Liu Bei to return the three counties of Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang to Sun Quan. He also sent eloquent people to explain the interests and problems, and ordered Sun Quan to attack Hefei, so that Cao Cao could rein in his troops and move south.
Sun Quan personally led an army of 100,000 to attack Hefei, and Cao Cao's generals Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin guarded Hefei. Zhang Liao received Cao Cao's secret message and asked Li Dian to set up an ambush in Xiaoyaojin. When Sun Quan's troops crossed the Xiaoshi Bridge, he immediately demolished the bridge. Le Jin was ordered to engage the enemy in battle, pretend to be defeated and retreat, and when the enemy soldiers returned, they would immediately pursue them.
Lu Meng and Gan Ning, the front troops of the Wu army, marched to Xiaoyaojin, where they met Le Jin and pretended to be defeated. Lu and Gan led their troops to pursue them, and Sun Quan led the Chinese army to enter the north bank of Xiaoyaojin. Just after crossing the bridge, there was a sudden burst of shouts. Zhang Liao and Li Dian came out from both sides. Sun Quan was shocked. There were only three hundred soldiers led by Ling Tong beside him. Yu Qi, Ling Tong hurriedly called Sun Quan: "My lord, go back and cross Xiaoshi Bridge quickly." He rushed forward to fight Zhang Liao and Li Dian. Just as Sun Quan was about to get on the bridge, he found that the bridge head had been cut off for more than ten feet. Sun Quan was shocked and at a loss. Gu Li shouted: "My lord, please move your horse back first, then let it go forward and jump across the bridge!" Sun Quan returned to his horse for more than three feet. Far away, then the bridle was whipped, the horse jumped over the broken bridge in the air, and ran to the south bank. Xu Sheng met him in a boat. More than 300 people led by Ling Tong were killed by Cao's army. Ling Tong was shot several times and fled around the river.
Lü Meng and Gan Ning led their troops to rescue them, but were attacked from both sides by Cao's army and fled in defeat.
Zhang Liao's power shocked Xiaoyaojin, and Sun Quan was almost captured alive. He returned to Ruxukou to reorganize the ships, mobilize troops and horses, and invade Hefei again.
Cao Cao led an army of 400,000 from Hanzhong to rescue Hefei, but Sun Quan refused to do so. Zhang Zhao offered advice: "Cao Cao is coming from afar, so we must weaken his spirit." Wu general Gan Ning led a hundred cavalry to rob Cao's camp at night. Sun Quan allocated a hundred elite cavalry, fifty bottles of wine, and fifty catties of mutton. Gan Ning ordered a hundred people to sit down and drink together, preparing to rob the camp. Gan Ning encouraged the soldiers to move forward bravely, but everyone looked embarrassed. Gan Ning said angrily: "I am a general, and I will not hesitate to take my own life. How can you be afraid of death?" Everyone expressed their willingness to die. At about the second watch, a hundred people put white goose feathers on their helmets as trumpets, put on their armor and mounted their horses, galloped towards Cao Cao's camp, and rushed straight into Cao Cao's army. Because they were blocked by chariots, Gan Ning led a hundred cavalry to charge through the stronghold. No one dared to stop them. Cao's army did not know what was real and was in disarray. Gan Ning led a hundred cavalry to fight out from the south gate of Cao's camp and returned in triumph without defeat. One person and one rider. Sun Quan was overjoyed and went to the camp gate to greet him. He rewarded him with thousands of pieces of silk and hundreds of sharp knives. He said to the generals: "Cao Cao has Zhang Liao, but Gan Xingba alone is enough to rival him."
Cao Cao led his army in five directions and rushed to the Ruxu River. The two armies fought in a melee. Sun Quan and Zhou Tai personally led the army to help the battle. Sun Quan was trapped in a tight siege. Fortunately, Zhou Tai risked his life to protect him and was saved. Zhou Tai was shot dozens of times and suffered numerous scars.
The Hefei War between Cao Cao and Sun Quan ended with Sun Quan suing for peace and both sides maintaining their original borders.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was forced to confer Cao Cao as the King of Wei. Cao Cao used the emperor's carriage to serve Luan Yi, built a palace, and proposed to establish an heir apparent to inherit the throne in the future.
Cao Cao had four sons, the eldest son Pi, the second son Zhang, the third son Zhi, and the fourth son Xiong. Because of Cao Zhi's outstanding literary talent, he was very popular with Cao Cao. Cao Pi knew very well that his talents were not as good as those of his third brother, and he was afraid that he would not be able to become the heir to the throne, so he bribed Cao Cao's close servants and often talked about Pi's virtues in front of Cao Cao.
One day, Cao Pi specially made a box of cakes to send to his father to show his filial piety. Cao Cao wrote the words "Yihe Crisps" on the box. Yang Xiu, the chief clerk, looked at it and tasted it with everyone. Cao Cao asked why, and Yang Xiu replied: "Your Majesty has given an order here, 'Everyone has a bite of cake', how dare you disobey your Majesty's order?" Cao Cao smiled on the surface, but he hated Yang Xiu in his heart.
Cao Cao and his ministers discussed the idea of making Cao Zhi his heir apparent. When Cao Pi found out, he secretly invited Wu Zhi, the song chief of the imperial court, to come to the mansion to discuss countermeasures. Fearing that others would discover him, he hid Wu Zhi in a big robe and covered it with silk before transporting it to the mansion. . Yang Xiu reported to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao ordered people to investigate outside Pi's house. Cao Pi asked Jia Xu for help, and Xu asked Cao Pi to wrap it up with silk and send it to the mansion the next day. The envoy searched and found that the jian was indeed full of silk. No flaws were found, so he reported back to Cao Cao. Cao Cao therefore suspected Yang Xiu of intending to harm Cao Pi and hated Yang Xiu even more.
Cao Zhi loved Yang Xiu's talent very much and often invited him into his mansion to discuss him all night long. Yang Xiu wrote "Ten Answers to the Teachings" for Cao Zhi in response to Cao Cao's examination. Cao Cao often asked Cao Zhi about military matters, and Cao Zhi answered fluently. Cao Cao was a little confused about this. Cao Pi took the opportunity to bribe Cao Zhi secretly and stole the "Ten Points for Answering Teachings" written by Yang Xiuweizhi and presented it to Cao Cao. Furious.
Cao Cao appointed Cao Zhi as the supervisor of the army, and went to Hanzhong with Cao Hong, and set off with his troops at Mao hour the next day. That night, Cao Pi asked Zhi to come to his house for a drink to bid farewell to him, but Zhi got drunk and missed the date, so Cao Cao had to let Cao Hong go to Hanzhong on his own. All these things made Cao Cao hesitant about establishing an heir, so he asked Jia Xu: "If you want to establish an heir, who should you establish?" Jia Xu did not answer at first, and then said to Cao Cao: "I think of Yuan Benchu and Liu Jingsheng who established their youngest son as their heir. Hey, brothers are attacking each other." After hearing this, Cao Cao laughed and said, "You are really a man of far-reaching plans!" So he made his eldest son Cao Pi his heir apparent.
After Liu Bei captured Xichuan, he followed Kong Ming's strategy and ordered Zhang Fei and Ma Chao to separately station troops in Brazil and Xiabian in order to capture Hanzhong.
Cao Cao was afraid that Xia Houyuan and Zhang He were weak and would be out of power, so in order to protect Hanzhong, he sent Cao Hong with 50,000 troops to aid Zhang He and Xia Houyuan and guard Dongchuan together. Zhang He despised Zhang Fei and asked him to lead his troops to capture Brazil and open the door to Shu County. They were defeated in the first battle and retreated to Qushan, unable to hold on. Zhang Fei ordered his sergeants to place wine in front of the mountain every day, drinking and cursing with the generals to lure Zhang He into battle.
