Ma Chao grew up in the army when he was a child. The grasp of the fighter plane is very keen, and after entering Chen Liu, he quickly discovered Chen Liu's abnormality. sent a scout detective, only then did he know that Chen Liuquan County was already heavily guarded. After Ma Dai found out, he muttered depressedly: "How can this battle be fought, do you have to use cavalry to attack the city?" Thinking of riding a horse and hitting the city wall, Ma Dai felt that this picture was very unreliable.

Ma Chao glared at himself, a reckless man who was a simple man who only knew how to do things! didn't know that he himself was a reckless man who only used force before.

Ma Chao led his troops to hide in a small valley, and after the white horse got supplies, there was still enough food, so he was not in a hurry. After setting up camp, he brought Pang De and Ma Dai and asked (mainly to ask Pang De): "Chen's remaining garrison has been prepared, what can I do now?" ”

Pang De thought for a while and said: "Chen Liuzhi knows that our army is coming, and he will definitely ask for help, if there are reinforcements, where will they come from?" ”

Ma Chao said with a smile: "Ling Ming's words are exactly what I want." Chen Liujian City, Cao's army was well guarded, and it was urgent to go down, so it was better to hide in the field and attack its reinforcements. If you get the help of Chen Liu, the defenders will be afraid, so Chen Liu can be broken. ”

The plan was decided, so Ma Chao sent out the scouts in the army, divided into several roads, and went to each major road to spy on the movements. When Ren Jun's letter for help arrived in Yanzhou, Cheng Yu was taken aback when he saw it, and was busy discussing with Chen Gong, Dong Zhao and others. Chen Gong frowned and said, "This must be Liu Bei's plan to mess with my rear." A partial division, the number of people must not be much. Chen Liu, with Ren Boda here, will be safe. In my opinion, you don't need reinforcements. ”

Dong Zhao objected: "Otherwise, if you dare to attack my rear with a partial division, it must be all cavalry, and its people come and go like the wind, if you don't send reinforcements to attack Chen Liubing together, Chen Liu's troops will not be at peace, how can you dare to transport grain to us?" "Actually, Dong Zhao is still a little cautious, he is a person from Jiyin Dingtao, if this Han army is not destroyed, what if they don't take advantage of Chenliu and come to Jiyin? His family is a well-known landowner in Jiyin.

Dong Zhao talked about the safety of grain and grass transportation, and Chen Gong was not easy to refute. Although there is still enough grain and grass in other counties in Yanzhou, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents. Chen Gong stopped talking, so Cheng Yu made a decision to send reinforcements to support Ren Jun and help him stay in Chen.

However, the army was in front of the Han army to contend with the Han army, and after thinking about it, he had to squeeze out 5,000 soldiers and horses, and went to Chenliu with Sima Xiahou Shang as the general.

Xiahou Shang is the nephew of Xiahou Yuan, who joined the army as a young man and became a military Sima because of his merits. After he got Cheng Yu's order, he led the army westward and marched towards Chenliu.

Xiahou Shang is not a straw bag, he also thought that he might encounter the enemy, so he was careful not to say anything about the march along the way, and deliberately chose to follow the line of Jishui. From Changyi to Dingtao, then to the injustice, and then into the territory of Chenliu to reach Jiyang. Along the way, the city was densely populated with castles and forts, and even if you encountered the enemy, it would be enough to protect yourself until reinforcements arrived. And Cheng Yu gave him 5,000 soldiers, which he also thought about with his thoughts, and if he gave too much, the soldiers and horses Yanzhou itself was tight, not to mention, and he was afraid that Xiahou Shang would not be able to lead it. Give less, and the road is too dangerous. Five thousand is no more and no less, just within Xiahou Shang's ability, and if he encounters an enemy army, he can also protect himself.

When Xiahou Shangbing arrived at the grievance, he was discovered by the scouts of the Han army, and after the report, Ma Chao did not move, just let his scouts stare at Xiahou Shang's every move.

After arriving in Jiyang, Xiahou Shang's vigilance became higher. After all, Chen Liujun has already appeared as an enemy. Who knows where this enemy army is hiding now, peeking into the flaws in their camp?

Xiahou Shang stayed in Jiyang for a few days, and after confirming with Ren Jun and the Waihuang guards that the enemy army had disappeared recently, and the road from Jiyang to Waihuang was also unimpeded, he led the army from Jiyang to Waihuang.

When I arrived at Waihuang, it was not far from Chen Liu. At this time, Ma Dai was anxious, looked at his brother, and said, "Big brother, if you don't do it again, do you have to watch that Cao Jun enter Chenliu County?" ”

Ma Chao smiled: "It's time to do it." Gongshan (Ma Daizi) listens to the order, and you lead 500 soldiers and horses to feint to attack sour jujubes, the bigger the momentum, the better. I led troops with Ling Ming to attack the reinforcements of Cao's army. ”

Ma Dai listened and said, "Why don't you let Ling Ming go to the sour dates?" ”

When Ma Chao heard this, his face sank, and he said, "Don't you still follow the order, waiting to eat the military stick?" Ma Dai didn't dare to say more, so he led the army to sour jujubes.

Ma Chao said to Pang De at this time: "Ling Ming, since Gongshan has gone to sour dates, Chen Liubi thinks that our army wants to take sour dates, and while it is unprepared, you and I sneak to the vicinity of Bianqu and break the enemy's reinforcements in one fell swoop." ”

Before long, the sour jujube order came to report to Chen Liu, saying that there were enemy troops in the territory, and if there were thousands of people, they were plundering the people and attacking the city. Ren Jun received the report and believed it to be true. Because the sour jujube was close to Si Li, he only thought that this Han army wanted to take the sour jujube and connect with the Si Li. So he sent a letter to Xiahou Shang and asked him to come to Chen Liu quickly, and then discuss the rescue of sour jujubes.

After Xiahou Shang received the letter, he did not doubt him, so he led the army to march quickly and rushed to Chenliu. Seeing that they were almost at the Bianqu (汳水), they ordered to camp and rest, and then asked people to collect boats and prepare to cross the water.

This canal is actually the Tongji Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the later Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty only dug it, widened and deepened it on the basis of the ancient Bianqu.

As soon as they crossed the Bianqu, before the troops had completely landed, they suddenly heard the sound of several drums, and saw a cavalry at the foot of the mountain not far away, viciously killing them.

Seeing this, Xiahou Shang was anxious and angry: "Ren Jun has surrendered to a thief? He couldn't help but doubt that Ren Jun sent a letter to urgently summon him to Chenliu, saying that the Han army had gone north to attack the sour date. Doesn't this mean that there is nothing going on here? Why did the Han army suddenly kill again?

Cao Jun was not mentally prepared to engage in battle, and immediately became a mess. Pang De was the vanguard, and he led his troops to rush straight in, and the men and horses were one, sandwiched by the wind and thunder, and crashed straight into the Cao army's camp. Then they began to chop and fight. Cao's army was immediately rushed by the cavalry. Pound rushed straight to the water's edge, took the rocket in his hand, first set fire to the boat, and then turned back and rushed into Cao's army, surrounding Cao's army and slashing him.

Ma Chao then arrived, and when he saw Pang De like a tiger entering the flock, showing his might, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Ling Ming is really brave and champions the three armies." Xiahou Shangtie blushed, looking at the Han army that suddenly appeared, at this time he had no time to think about Ren Jun. He only shouted hoarsely and leaned closer to himself, and then formed a strong formation, holding on to help.

Xiahou Shang didn't dare to think about it anymore, the dead horse right was regarded as a live horse doctor, he sent several horsemen to break through, and there was still a way to the nearest Chenliu. If Ren Jun really has a problem, it's fate. On the battlefield, Xiahou Shang had already had this awareness. But what he can't bear the most is the betrayal of his own people, so no matter what, he has to persevere and wait for a result.
