    Chapter 154 "The Decisive Battle between Liu Jia and Zhang He"

    Young Liu Jia took a look at the map and smiled happily and said: "General Ma Chao and his 30,000 troops can completely pass through the gap between Zhang He and the others, and there is no need to worry about the retreat being cut off by Zhang He." Piaotian Literature Network ()  Zhang He, whose troops are scattered in various cities, is now unable to intercept General Ma's 30,000-strong army in the wild. As long as General Ma's troops pass through Jincheng County and reach their hometown of Wuwei County. Haha, they really have to reach their hometown.  Nothing can stop them! General Ma can send people to Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, and Dunhuang County farther west to appease his original subordinates. The people there who have no masters are not happy to see the old master coming back.  Happy? Naturally, there will be food and troops. In addition, some time ago, Cao's army burned, killed, looted, and looted here. They did all kinds of evil and ruined their reputation. It is estimated that if General Ma Chao raises his arms, he will respond.  Yun, it shouldn't be a problem to recruit 20,000 to 30,000 troops. Then his army of 30,000 troops can be expanded to 50,000 to 60,000 troops. Can he compete with Zhang He on the same side?"

    Xu Shu nodded quickly and said, "Of course you don't have to worry about Zhang He cutting off his retreat when you return home."

    Liu Jiadao: "In this way, General Ma Chao will fight back from his hometown. We will fight against him here. Jia doesn't believe that the chess piece placed here by Cao Cao can be of much use. Haha"

    Smiling, Liu Jia asked a little strangely: "We are seeing this move now. Didn't Cao Cao, who used his troops like a god, see this move at the time?"

    Xu Shu said: "Cao Cao is not a god. How could he have thought of it before things reached the current situation? It seems to us that it is a natural move. There was no sign a few months ago. Not to mention Cao Cao, that is  We ourselves didn¡¯t know that we had put down the rebellion so quickly in the south, and our army was not very tired and was almost walking, so we got here so quickly without any rest. If we go by normal estimates, we would have been two to three months later.  In the past month, Zhang He has occupied Xiliang and sent heavy troops to guard Guangwei County and Jincheng County, so we have no choice but to make this move."

    Liu Jia smiled and said: "That's right Now that Sun Quan is going to proclaim himself emperor in Jianye, Yuan Zhi thinks that Cao Cao's troops are really wholeheartedly dealing with us. Why not attack the traitor Sun Quan? Jia believes that since we already know that Sun Quan is going to  Cao Cao should also have heard about proclaiming himself emperor."

    Xu Shu smiled and said: "Haha, if the lord is Cao Cao, will the lord come to Yongzhou or go to suppress Sun Quan?"

    Liu Jia was stunned for a moment, but immediately said: "Of course I'm coming to Yongzhou."

    Xu Shu said: "So is Cao Cao. In his heart, he hopes that Sun Quan will proclaim himself emperor soon. Moreover, Sun Quan is also a smart man. Now he can only show it to Cao Cao. Just stamping a jade seal may not mean proclaiming himself emperor? As long as Cao Cao  Ignore him. He will know that the tacit understanding between the two parties has been reached. Sun Quan will not officially ascend the throne until Cao Cao's troops leave Xuchang and enter Yongzhou. At this time, Cao Cao must defeat us first in public, private, military and political matters.  Do other things. At this time, other people who oppose Cao Cao can only wait for Cao Cao to deal with our affairs before suppressing the rebellion.  Isn't this a great joy for the lord!"

    Liu Jia gave Xu Shu a look, and Xu Shu naturally knew that the look meant that the words could only be understood but not expressed.

    Next, the two made relevant adjustments to their forces. They deployed 15,000 troops each in Qingshui City and Lueyang City, not far from the Long County town occupied by Zhao Yun, commanded by Wu Tugu and Zhang Ren respectively.  guard.  Longxian City, Qingshui City, and Lueyang City are arranged in a Z-shaped layout, so they can coordinate and support each other.  Moreover, Qingshui City and Lueyang City are backed by Guangwei County and Tianshui County, so they can fully mobilize to support Long County when necessary.  This ensures the absolute safety of Long County.  The total number of troops in the three places reached 70,000. With 70,000 elite soldiers relying on the fortified city and the support from the rear, it was still possible to hold Cao Cao's 2 to 300,000 troops under the city.

    While taking away the prisoners of Cao's army, Liu Jia, Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, E Huan, Qiao Zhou and others led a 60,000-strong army to attack Nan'an County, which Zhang He had recently occupied.

    Ma Chao also happily led 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry together with Pang De and Yang Hong from Tianshui County, passing through the sparse area of ??Cao's army in the southern part of Nan'an County and entering Longxi County.  Then turning to the north, after defeating Zhang He's small number of intercepting soldiers, he easily entered Xiliang Prefecture, the base of his Ma family.

    But Zhang He and Man Chong were not just people who deserved their fame. They saw that Ma Chao had already advanced in front of them, and Liu Jia led the army to attack behind him. Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others led heavy troops to guard the Central Plains leading to Xiliang.  the road.  Obviously, the possibility of Cao Cao directly sending troops to go deep into Xiliang to rescue him no longer exists. The only thing that can save him is to lead the remaining 60,000 troops to turn back and kill Liu Jia. As long as he can break through Liu Jia's interception and kill  Arrive at the gate of Long County, where Zhao Yun is guarding.  Then with the support of Cao Cao's army.  Only by yourself can you escapeBirth day.

    Zhang He knew that his only advantage over his opponent now was that Liu Jia's foothold was not stable, and his famous generals were scattered everywhere.  The only person who is his direct enemy now is the veteran Huang Zhong. Others such as E Huan and Qiao Zhou should not be his opponents.

    After Zhang He and Man Chong discussed it, they immediately gathered all their men and horses, abandoned the cities they originally guarded, and gathered in Xangdao City, the seat of Nan'an County.

    When the army had basically arrived and Zhang He was commanding the troops to prepare actively, Tan Ma brought the latest news about Liu Jia's army: "Report! Yizhou's 60,000-strong army has arrived at our city under the personal leadership of Liu Jia! Huang Zhong led it  Fifteen thousand soldiers will serve as the vanguard, and Qiao Zhou will lead 10,000 horses as the rear guard."

    "How many days has it been since we set out?" Zhang He asked loudly.

    "Two days, now it's three hundred miles away from us." Tan Ma replied.

    Man Chong asked: "What is the distance between Huang Zhong and the Chinese Army?"

    "It's about half a day's journey, more than twenty miles." Tan Ma said.

    "Are they so slow?" Zhang He said to himself, then looked at Man Chong who was also thinking.

    Man Chong waited for Tan Ma to leave and said, "They are taking every step. They want to slowly crush us."

    Zhang He sighed and said: "That's right. Now that there are their troops from all directions, Liu Jia is naturally not in a hurry. Zhao Yun cut off the road to our reinforcements in Long County again. If Zhang leads the army, Zhang will be like them.  We will advance slowly, occupy the surrounding cities, and then finally deal with our more than 65,000 troops."

    Man Chong asked softly: "Then what should we do? Just sit here and wait to die?".

    Zhang He pretended to smile casually and said, "What do you think, sir? Do we have any other choice?"

    Man Chong said: "We have only three options now. One is to take the initiative to meet them and fight to the death with them in the wild. As long as we defeat Liu Jia's 60,000 troops. We still have a glimmer of hope to reach Guangwei County and defeat Zhao Yun with the reinforcements.  To stop him. Returning to the Central Plains is naturally the best result, defeating Liu Jia and returning to the Central Plains. But this possibility is very small. The journey is far away, not to mention that there are also Yizhou troops chasing and intercepting him along the way. The second way is  Wait in the city for Liu Jia and the others to finish cleaning up the surrounding city and then surround us. We will use the city to kill a large number of their active forces. As for defeating them, it is impossible. Their follow-up troops are coming in a steady stream. Especially since Ma Chao is well settled.  The Queen of Xiliang will undoubtedly send a large army over, and we can only repay King Wei with our lives for his kindness. The third way is"

    Man Chong stopped talking at this point.

    Zhang He said resolutely: "He will not follow Zhang Liao's path. Although Zhang Liao had no choice but to seek refuge with Liu Jia, he will still die when he is worthy of death."

    "What does General Zhang mean" Man Chong asked in a low voice.

    "Come forward! They only have one old man, Huang Zhong, who has some ability, and he can shoot arrows better. But it is still impossible to kill Zhang with his arrows. What do you think, sir?" Zhang He asked.

    "As a general, Chong is always ready to follow his lead." Man Chong also said resolutely.

    "Okay! It's settled then! Our army will greet them tomorrow!" Zhang He said loudly.

    ¡­¡­

    "Report, Zhang He has led an army of 60,000 to meet us. He is less than a hundred miles away from us." Liu Jia and Xu Shu were on horseback admiring the northwest scenery in summer when a Tanma galloped over.  .

    "Haha, it's just as Yuan Zhi expected. Zhang He is really determined to follow Cao Cao and wants to fight to the death with us! Thanks to Yuan Zhi's insistence on not letting the troops disperse to various cities, otherwise we would have to deal with Zhang He  It's a bit difficult. They are desperate now, and only five thousand people are left to guard Xiandao City. Once we take it, they will be alone." Liu Jia said with a smile.

    "Haha, they are lonely ghosts even if they are guarding the city. Of course they have to take a gamble. It is estimated that the five thousand soldiers guarding the city are only temporarily guarding food and grass and transporting bows and arrows for them. After transporting these, their mission will be  It's over. They will also join this army by then." Xu Shu also said with a smile.

    "Then we camp here and wait for them to come over, waiting for work?" Liu Jia asked

    Two days after Liu Jia's army set up camp, Zhang He's army also set up camp fifteen miles away from Huang Zhong's vanguard camp.

    Huang Zhong led 10,000 men and went to challenge Zhang He on the day he arrived at the village, but Zhang He ignored him.  A large number of antlers and horse fences were blocked in front, and a large number of archers were arranged to stand ready.  Huang Zhong naturally did not launch an attack. He only cursed a few words far away from them and turned around.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??.  The two armies finally stood face to face.  Although the numbers are similar, their mental states are completely different: Zhang He's men are in high spirits except for a few generals.  The other generals and soldiers all looked downcast, their eyes full of exhaustion. Although they were considered a victorious force so far, the lack of a way out and no retreat greatly affected their mentality.

    On the other hand, Liu Jia's troops, from the commander to the ordinary soldiers, are all high-spirited. They can be called a victorious army, and they also know that the enemy in front of them is already a turtle in the jar. As long as they can block their attack, the opponent will undoubtedly lose.  With full confidence, everyone in Cao's army was gearing up to fight.

    Liu Jia came out first under the protection of E Huan and others. He shouted to Zhang He: "General Zhang, please come forward and answer!"

    Zhang He drove his horse forward a few steps and said loudly: "Say it!"

    Liu Jia asked: "General Zhang should be very clear about the current situation, right? Except for the temporary control of Xiandao City, the other cities are in my hands. Now the general has no way out and no retreat. Let's not talk about the 60,000-strong army guarding the city.  General Zhang cannot break through here. Even if he breaks through, there are still many obstacles ahead. As the saying goes, he who knows the current affairs is a hero. I wonder what General Zhang has in mind."

    Zhang He said loudly: "We have been greatly favored by King Wei, and we have put life and death aside. Since God has given us an opportunity to serve King Wei, of course we must cherish this opportunity. King Shu, please don't say too much. If you want to fight, fight. We will see what happens in the end."  Our 60,000 strong soldiers are stronger than your 60,000 rabble!"

    Liu Jia smiled and said: "General Zhang's words are wrong. Although General Zhang's few words are impassioned, there are at least three mistakes. First, have you really received great favor from the King of Wei? This time General Zhang led 80,000  The troops came out of seclusion and gained the initiative for Cao Cao on the battlefield, forcing General Ma Chao to take risks and fight, allowing Cao Cao, who had no choice but to take advantage of the situation, to eat General Ma Chao's tens of thousands of troops. Moreover, Cao Cao also gained Han Sui and others. It can be said that for  The victory of this battle was largely attributed to General Zhang and his 80,000 soldiers. After that, General Zhang led his 80,000 divisions to fight thousands of miles and defeated Feng Yi County, Beidi County, Xinping County, Anding County, Guangwei County, Nan'an County,  Jincheng County was unstoppable all the way, and Cao Cao occupied a vast area of ??land. These alone can prove that General Zhang's 80,000 soldiers have worked hard and made great achievements. But the result? As soon as our army came out, Cao Cao regarded General Zhang's 80,000 soldiers as if they were abandoned.  Ignore you, or treat you as bait, and let you fight with us to the death. I would like to ask General Zhang and other soldiers, is this the great kindness of Cao Cao?"

    Zhang He said loudly: "The King of Shu must not sow discord. Since it is a war, of course there will be a charge and a break-up. Where is it not cruel and where is it not bloody? When you sent troops, the King of Wei's army had not yet completed its rest, so of course you could not send troops. Besides, King Wei  Didn't they also send 30,000 reinforcements? Everyone understands that the culprit of our current predicament is your Yizhou soldiers. King Shu, you still don't know who will win. My 60,000 soldiers have experienced hundreds of battles and can break through you.  It¡¯s not difficult to stop him.¡±

    Liu Jia laughed loudly and said: "Haha, 30,000 reinforcements? Who are these 30,000 reinforcements? They are not our enemies. They were just recruited from the private sector and sent here. Cao Cao is just trying to ease your hearts, right? General Zhang  The second mistake I made is that God has given you a chance to serve? Just look at the faces of the soldiers on both sides and you will know that now is definitely not a chance, and there is no chance for you. As long as you fight, you will definitely lose. General Zhang wants to die  , although I don¡¯t agree with it, it can still fulfill General Zhang¡¯s wishes. But the 60,000 soldiers are all born and raised by their parents. They know that if they kill like this, they will die, which will make their parents miserable. If they don¡¯t kill, they can live, and they can live.  To comfort your parents, why are you fighting for this false reputation? Are you betting on this tone? Thirdly, General Zhang said that my 60,000-strong army is a rabble"

    How could Zhang He want Liu Jia to continue talking?  He loudly interrupted Liu Jia's words and shouted to his soldiers: "Brothers! We have only one way to go now, and that is to kill them! As long as we defeat them, we can go home! Our fathers and brothers at home are waiting for us.  Yeah! Kill!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang He shot Liu Jia and drove his horse straight towards Liu Jia.

    I wish you all a Happy New Year!  May all go well with you!
