Liu Bei actually didn't expect Liu Zhang to surrender. Although Liu Zhang surrendered to him in history, it should be Liu Zhang's helpless choice without reinforcements. The situation is very different today. If Liu Zhang defends to the end, after the Yanzhou incident, Liu Bei will naturally dispatch a large army, divide the road from Sili and Liangzhou, and attack Hanzhong in a big way. to relieve the siege of Liu Zhang.

As soon as Liu Zhang fell, Bai gave Cao Cao a few more years, not to mention, and buried his own life. After Liu Bei learned about it, he could only sigh.

Recently, Liaodong and Saiwai have been quiet. In the previous two wars, the Xianbei tribe suffered countless casualties. Those who survived were either slaves or were terrified and disappeared far north. The Wuhuan tribe that followed Liu Bei to fight was also frightened by the achievements of the Han army. The three Wuhuan of Liaoxi have completely surrendered since then and are very well-behaved. The officials sent out by Liu Bei are imperceptibly carrying out the work of sinicization. It is expected that in the future, Wuhuan will inevitably disappear from the history books countless years in advance and completely integrate into the great Han people.

In view of this, Liu Bei transferred Huang Zhong and Zhang He, and left Zhang Yan and others to guard the border of Yanzhou. So that Huang Zhong led his troops from Dongjun to break Chen Liu, and entered the siege of Jiyin.

As a result, Yanzhou's civil and military forces were in chaos. Finally, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan came to the front, and together with Xiahou Yuan, they resisted Zhang Fei and Tai Shici. The defense line had just stabilized, and Huang Zhong and Zhang He came from behind. With this squeeze on both sides, Yanzhou's troops are stretched. If Jiyin is broken, Changyi will be in danger, which Cheng Yu and they can't tolerate.

In fact, because Yanzhou was too close to Qingzhou and there was no Cao Cao personally in charge, in the face of waves of attacks launched by this powerful enemy in the north, the officials and the people had lost a kind of confidence in victory.

At this point in the war, it is no longer just the number of troops that are compared. There are many more factors that directly and indirectly affect the performance of the battlefield.

Such as fame, such as hope, etc., etc.

After decades of hope, by now, Liu Bei's name has already spread all over the country, no lower than any gate valve in the world. When the world mentions Liu Bei, his deeds are like a treasure, in addition to admiration, it is respect.

And Liu Bei is not only in vain, he and a group of subordinates have managed their territory in an orderly and prosperous manner. Yanzhou is on the edge of Qingzhou, and there are many people who are related to Qingzhou, so how can they not be clear?

So many people in Yanzhou are thinking, why fight with the king of Zhongshan? He is a general of the imperial court, why should he come to govern Yanzhou? Maybe it's better governed than Cao Gong?

Under the influence of such emotions. Huang Zhong's entry into Chen Liu, compared to Ma Chao's entry into Chen Liulai, it is much simpler. Cao Cao stretched the battle line too long, from Yan to Yu, and then from Jing to Yi. The power was too scattered, which inevitably gave Liu Bei an opportunity. After Chen Liurenjun died in battle, the newly appointed Taishou did not dare to fight to the death against the arrival of the Han army.

And Gao Gan is among them, and he has also made great efforts. Gao Gan and Gao Rou are from Chen Liugao's family. The Gao family has been in office for generations, and now Gao Gan and Gao Rou are both in Liu Bei's place. Where is Gao's bias, do you need to say more?

With Gao's coming out, Chen Liutai was under the half-push and half-push, and he was lowered.

After breaking Chen Liu, Huang Zhong left Zhang He to guard Chen Liu, in case of Yuzhou soldiers and horses. But he raised the army, Tun Jiyang, surrounded the grievance sentence, and had the frame of the self-grievance sentence into Jiyin.

Secretly, it was sent to Ma Chao to deliver the letter.

Ma Chao led the cavalry, and since the destruction of Shouzhang, he has been cruising near Shouzhang to threaten Cao Ren's back road. However, Cao Ren is one of the few generals in Cao Cao's hands, and it is already a mistake to lose Shouzhang, and now how can he easily expose his flaws to Ma Chao to take advantage of. And he kept the counties tightly. Ma Chao couldn't hold back his temperament, attacked rashly, and suffered a dark loss. Only then did I know how powerful Cao Ren was with soldiers. So they didn't dare to do it again.

On this day, Ma Chao was sitting in Shouzhang City. Suddenly, I heard a letter from me. When I took the letter, it was written by Huang Zhong. In the letter, Ma Chao was instructed to act like this.

When Ma Chao saw it, he was overjoyed, and said: "Good plan." ”

So he raised the account and spread the word that Pang De and Ma Dai came here. said to Pang De: "Ling Ming, I have General Huang's order, and I want to go west to Jiyin to help General Huang succeed." After I left, you stayed here, still under my banner, pretending to be suspicious of Cao Ren. ”

Pound got up and obeyed. Ma Chao said to Ma Dai again: "You also stay here to support Lingming." ”

Ma Dai hurriedly said: "Brother goes alone, if he is in danger, what should he do?" ”

Ma Chao said proudly: "But with the gun in my hand, where in the world can I go?" "Then Ma Dai stopped, and led the army to Jiyin alone.

As soon as Ma Chao left, Pang De ordered a person to be selected in the army, still dressed in Ma Chao's clothes, and was in the Chinese army under the banner of Ma Chao. Then more flags and drums were made, and Shouzhang Chengtou was inserted all over the city. After arranging everything, he led his army out of the city and marched towards Wuyan.

Cao Jun's spies saw it, and they hurriedly flew to report to Cao Ren, and Yan Hanjun came again. Cao Ren had learned Ma Chao's ferocity, and he didn't dare to slack off in his heart, so he ordered Wuyan to defend strictly, and transferred reinforcements all the way to Wuyan County.

Cao Jun cheered up in Wuyan and finally ushered in the Han army. Pound stationed his camp outside the city of Wuyan, but did not attack it. Cao Jun didn't know what the Han army was going to do, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment.

Jiyin learned that Huang Zhongwei was wronged, and heard that Ma Chao was using troops in Shouzhang, and refused to Cao Ren. So he hurriedly mobilized the soldiers and horses in the county to support the injustice. The injustice sentence is broken, and the back is Dingtao. Between the two cities, one is flat, and there is no danger to defend.

The spies reported the movements in Jiyin County to Ma Chao, who was lurking. Ma Chao got revenge, and finally showed his fangs. First, Yu Lei Ze broke a Cao army, and then ordered the three armies to change the clothes and banners of the Cao army, and then advanced to Chengyang, killed dozens of Chengyang orders and lieutenants, and firmly controlled Chengyang. Then he flew and rode to raid and capture Juyang. At this time, Ma Chao's advantage in commanding the cavalry was revealed.

He collected horses from two counties, one riding in two, or even three, and the man did not remove his armor and the horse did not leave the saddle. When Dingtao hadn't reacted yet, he rushed to the boiled jujube city behind the injustice sentence.

Boiling Zaocheng thought that reinforcements were coming, and under great joy, the city gate was opened to welcome friendly troops. As a result, Ma Chao led his troops to rush to the city gate, and one shot resulted in the life of the guards of the city of boiled jujube, and the city was suddenly in chaos, Ma Chao rushed into the city, opened a killing ring, and after a bloody suppression, the rest of the people in the city of jujube were all surrendered.

Many soldiers and horses and money and food came to reinforce here. Once it falls, there is no supply for the wrongdoers. After learning that the city of boiled dates had been lost, Huang Zhong looked up to the sky and laughed. So he ordered the three armies to attack the city. Ma Chao also brought troops to gather behind the city of injustice, showing off his might.

After seeing Huang Zhong in front and Ma Chao in the back, the guard knew that the general trend had gone, so he simply chose to surrender. As soon as he said the wrong, Dingtao was placed in front of Huang Zhong.
