Chapter 19 Hanzhong
Zhao Yun is a standard all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness and beauty. Almost immediately, a terrible guess emerged in his heart, and then, his pupils shook!
As a result, Zhang Fei was still shouting: "Who is Yunmei? There are no women in the army. Could it be that Cao thief brought her?"
Guan Yu slapped Zhang Fei on the back of his head: "Noisy!"
Then he comforted: "Don't worry, Zilong. In my opinion, the future generations may like you very much and call you this. Doesn't the light curtain also say that there is a god of war at Changbanpo and seven ins and outs of Cao's camp? Just watch it."
It can only be like this. Zhao Yun nodded to calm his mind and returned his attention to the light curtain.
The content on the light curtain also changed. As the perspective changed, the 3D map of the 21st century came into the eyes of this group of civil officials and generals at the end of the Han Dynasty.
【In 217 AD, Shu Han officially launched the Battle of Hanzhong. It is important to understand that such a large-scale battle cannot be won in one go. Both sides need to fight for a long time, compete in logistical pressure, and look for opportunities to win, so this battle will take a very long time.
Let's first look at the generals participating in the battle on both sides. The civil and military officials participating in the battle on the Shu Han side are Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Fa Zheng, and Huang Quan; the generals participating in the battle on the Cao Wei side are Xiahou Yuan, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Cao Hong, Zhang He, Xu Huang, and Guo Huai. 】
The civil and military officials looked at each other. They had heard of Ma Chao, but Fa Zheng and Huang Quan had never heard of them. But now they have been announced as their own by the light curtain. This experience is very novel.
Zhang Fei: "Is my second brother guarding Jingzhou now?"
Kong Ming counted and nodded, "General Guan is indispensable for Jingzhou."
Jian Yong ate dried fruits while listing all the treasures: "I have heard of Fa Zheng. He should be the precious grandson of Fa Zhen. His ancestor was Fa Xiong, the governor of Nanjun. As for Huang Quan... he should be the chief clerk of Yizhou."
As a semi-famous scholar, Jian Yong basically ran errands for Liu Bei to build relationships with people, and he was good at checking people's backgrounds.
"They are all strong enemies!" Guan Yu made a brief comment.
There is no need to say much about Zhang He and Xu Huang. Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and Cao Hong have been with Cao Cao since he started his army to fight against Dong. They have survived the battles for so many years and have become veterans.
"It's okay! We have General Huang!" Zhang Fei patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder and didn't care, which made Huang Zhong's old face red.
[In 217 AD, Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Wu Lan and Lei Tong to attack Wudu and successfully repelled the governor of Wudu and occupied Xiabian City.
What's interesting is that this Wudu prefect, Yang Fu, courtesy name Yishan, was from Tianshui and was a fellow villager of Jiang Wei. He killed Ma Chao's entire family, and the two were standard mortal enemies.
Modern people generally praise Yang Fu, thinking that he was against the evil Ma Chao! But in fact, from a historical perspective, it is easy to overlook that Ma Chao's rebellion was not that simple.
In 211, Cao Cao took Hanzhong, and Han Sui and Ma Chao both rebelled, and joined forces with Zhang Lu to defeat Cao Cao in Tongguan. The novel also compiled a section about cutting off beards and abandoning robes, which was very funny.
Wen Mang directly played a section of the old Three Kingdoms here on the light curtain. Everyone in the hall looked at the man marked as Ma Chao and shouted:
"The one wearing a red robe is Cao Cao!" "The one with a long beard is Cao Cao!" "The one with a short beard is Cao Cao!"
These three sentences made the man named Cao Cao abandon his robe and cut his beard, and finally he pulled the corner flag to cover his face and fled in embarrassment. For a while, the hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Liu Bei did not forget to explain to the three officials who did not quite understand: "This is something similar to Nuo opera compiled by later generations based on our deeds."
After saying this, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and Sun Gan understood. Mi Zhu was moved, and always felt that this new Nuo opera was much better than the current one.
"It's a pity that Cao thief didn't die here!" Zhang Fei smacked his lips with regret.
"General Zhang, you laughed the loudest just now, don't take it seriously." Huang Zhong said.
Guan Yu held his precious beard in thought, wondering if anyone shouted "The long-bearded man is Guan Yu" when the light curtain said that he was defeated in Maicheng? But he would never be such a person who cut off his beard and abandoned his robe!
Jian Yong counted the time with his fingers and shook his head and said: "Ma Teng is dead."
For a while, the hall was quiet. They almost forgot that Ma Teng and his family were moved to Yecheng by Cao Cao last year!
"Cao Cao should have expected Zhang Lu to ask Ma Chao and Han Sui for help, so he took the lead in controlling Ma Teng, but he didn't expect Han and Ma to send troops anyway."
Ma Teng was originally used to contain Ma Chao, and Ma Chao also responded to Cao Cao by "cutting off his beard and abandoning his robe" that he didn't care about his father, so in order to maintain Cao Cao's authority, Ma Teng must die.
Ma Chao's decisive behavior alone made it difficult for everyone to evaluate. I wanted to say that he was a hungry wolf or something, but the beginning of the light curtain also said that he eventually surrendered to Lord Xuande and became a founding hero of Shu Han together with everyone, which is...
[In 211, Cao Cao was defeated and retreated. In 212, Ma Chao went out to beg for money again. He joined Zhang Lu to annex many counties in Liangzhou, attacked and killed Wei Kang, the governor of Liangzhou, and the local prominent families in Liangzhou joined him. Xiahou Yuan led troops to suppress the rebellion, but was defeated by Ma Chao.
In 213, Yang Fu, Jiang Xu and others betrayed Ma Chao and killed Ma Chao's family. Ma Chao turned to attack Licheng and slaughtered Jiang Xu's clansmen. Xiahou Yuan heard about the internal strife in Liangzhou and sent troops to defeat Ma Chao.
In 214, Ma Chao was forced to surrender to Hanzhong and rely on Zhang Lu. In the same year, he turned to Liu Bei.
But in this period, it was still the same little thing in Jiangdong. Ma Chao used force to intimidate the landlords, but then Ma Chao's actions were too big, which caused many complaints from the landlords, so they finally gathered together to rebel against him.
After all, if Yang Fu was really as "a great sage" as Cao Cao praised, he didn't say a word when his old boss Wei Kang was killed by Ma Chao, and even went to work for Ma Chao directly. It was not until the next year that Yang Fu's cousin was thrown into prison by Ma Chao that Yang Fu decided to rebel.
So from the perspective of the situation and logic, no one should flatter anyone. In essence, it is just a dog-bite-dog situation. 】
The generals in the hall felt that they were going to be numb. Isn't it that your Liangzhou style is so fierce and straightforward? You want to kill the whole family at any time?
And Ma Chao is good at killing court officials, and he is also a governor... The generals looked at each other. This is definitely a taboo!
Just like Liu Biao and Sun Jian had a conflict, and Huang Zu was the one who was hurt in the end. Even if the majesty of the court is about to fall, it still has to take care of face!
As for Guangmu's evaluation of Yang Fu, Liu Bei deeply agreed. He used to think that the people were the people. Later, he was cheated in Xuzhou and found that if necessary, the nobles could sometimes be the people.
[A bit off topic, let's turn our attention back to this battle of Hanzhong.
When Liu Bei's general Ma Chao met Yang Fu, the governor of Wudu, it was like an enemy meeting and being particularly jealous! In just a few rounds, Yang Fu rode away on horseback, and I went to get reinforcements!
Soon, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen led troops to support and recapture Xiabian. 】
Everyone was a little overwhelmed for a while. They were talking about the Battle of Hanzhong, but they ended up talking about the first Battle of Hanzhong. Let's talk about it, but they didn't explain why Zhang Lu disappeared later and brought him back again!
Zhang Fei was very excited. After all, he was the only one on the scene of the four generals who attacked Wudu mentioned by the light curtain:
"Defend the city! The three sons of the Cao family! The advantage is on my side! Do I have military merits!?"
I heard the light curtain mention Huang Zhong's killing of Xiahou Yuan several times before, and I was really envious! Is it my turn to open this time?
I just finished the college entrance examination and will update soon!
(Just kidding, by the way, I wish all students have ideal results!
