The twenty-fourth year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty【219】.

In the late spring of March, King Cao Cao of Wei, who had arrived in Guanzhong, led his people from Chang'an to march westward to Chencang City.

At the beginning of April, Cao Xiu, the general of the clan, was ordered to stay in Chencang to protect the safety of the grain roads in the rear.

Cao Cao personally led the masses to rush along the Sanguan Road to the outside of Yangping Pass, the strategic point in Hanzhong.

At the same time, the vanguard of Liu Bei's army on the other side had already arrived at Zitong County first.

The Brazilian prefect who was stationed in Langzhong, the capital of the army, had already received instructions from the king.

He led his troops to the front line of Baishui Pass in advance, waiting for the arrival of the main army.

Baishui Guannan.

Zhang Fei ordered his soldiers to line up on both sides of the narrow road to welcome him.

After a while, I saw a knight corps coming from the south!

Even though the land of Bashu was full of mountain roads and the knights could not gallop, as the cavalry gradually showed their outlines, the psychological pressure on Zhang Fei's sergeants was still quite huge.

"Tap tap tap..."

The iron hooves stamped on the ground, and bursts of dust were flying around Guancheng!

What followed was a magnificent embarrassment.

Following a handsome man riding a white horse, wearing a silver helmet and a silver-white war robe, with a sword hanging from his waist and a red tassel gun in his hand, a handsome middle-aged general came running ahead.

Zhang Fei raised his head and took a look. Seeing his majestic face, he still had some impression. This person was the surrendered general of Xiliang. He had killed Cao Cao in the Wei River and cut off his beard and discarded his robe. He had the reputation of "Jin Ma Chao".

rise.

Arrive at the bottom of Guancheng.

Ma Chao waved his whip and jumped off his white horse, followed by two people.

"Super meeting General Zhang."

When the two met, Ma Chao also bowed his hands in a respectful manner.

After years of hard work, Ma Chao is no longer as sharp and unruly as he was when he roamed across Xiliang.

His temperament is much softer now.

Especially the etiquette aspect is also taken seriously.

We also know that Zhang Fei has an irreversible friendship with Liu Bei, the King of Hanzhong. Even though he is barely above Zhang Fei in the rank of General Zuo, he has not pretended to be an equal.

Seeing that Ma Chao is so aware of current affairs, and seeing that this man is indeed brave enough for all, as long as he is not as arrogant as he was when he defected to him before, calling Liu Bei by his name in public, Zhang Fei is still willing to make friends with him given his forthright temperament.

of.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing this, Zhang Fei burst into laughter, grabbed his arm, and said loudly, "It's Meng Qi. We haven't seen you in several years, right?"

"Come on, come on, follow me back to the military mansion, we will drink him all night and have a test!"

Ma Chao asked himself that he was already quite cheerful, but now he was quite restrained compared to Zhang Fei, so he quickly said:

"Haha. General Zhang is so powerful that I often heard Zilong and others mention it when he surpassed Chengdu."

"It's okay, you and I, brothers, have a nice chat."

After saying that, Zhang Fei smiled slyly and said: "This is my treasured Juxian Brewing. It was brewed by my unmarried son-in-law. I am usually reluctant to drink it myself."

"Meng Qi, try it with me today."

"Okay, okay!"

When he mentioned Zhao Tong in words, Zhang Fei looked quite complacent.

Zhao Tong's current reputation can be said to have been sung among the counties in Yizhou for a long time.

He can lead an army alone, win consecutive battles, and conquer all directions.

Wen can also station troops to guard a place, protect safety and handle political affairs.

In addition to being both civil and military, he can also create some fantastic inventions.

For example, brewing "Juxian Brewing" wine.

This also made Zhang Fei quite satisfied deep in his heart.

I feel that it is a very right choice for me to make a marriage agreement with Zhao Yun.

Zhao Tong has now become a "good son-in-law" in his mind.

What's more, in Zhang Fei's view, with Zhao Tong's current talents in both civil and military affairs, he will definitely become the pillar of the country and a glorious lintel in the future.

With the marriage of Zhang and Zhao, when the Han Dynasty is revived, their two families will definitely be able to control the court and their honor will be doubled.

"Ling Ming, A Dai, you two are responsible for arranging the rest of each department."

"Here!"

Before following Zhang Fei into the mansion, Ma Chao also shouted an order to the second general on one side.

After saying this, Pang De, who was tall and strong, and his younger brother Ma Dailian accepted the promise.

...

In the military mansion.

The two quickly sat side by side. Zhang Feihou hurriedly picked up the wine jar on the desk and filled it up, then said: "Meng Qi, come on, come on, stop chatting, let's do it first.

"

"good!"

After Ma Chao heard this, he simply responded loudly while holding the bowl.

The second general pushed the cup to the cup and drank several large bowls first.

"Ha ha."

"It's cool. This wine is still delicious."

After Zhang Fei felt comfortable after drinking, he held the bowl and commented cheerfully, "I don't know what the hell is in that boy Atong's mind?"

"The taste of this wine is completely different from the wine we have drunk before."

"That's right, General Zhao's wine is indeed very tasty!"

Ma Chaosui responded with a loud laugh.

The two drank for a while before getting to the point.

"By the way, Meng Qi, where has the main force led by the king arrived? When will it arrive at Baishui Pass?"

Zhang Fei's face also returned to a serious look at this time, and he asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Ma Chao also retracted his smile and responded solemnly, "General Zhang, Your Majesty ordered Chao to lead his Xiliang cavalry as the vanguard to clear the way for the army."

"The king has led the Chinese army to follow. Now it has arrived at Fucheng. It is expected that after crossing Fushui, it will take a few days to reach Baishui and join our army."

After the words fell, he first explained the military situation to him in detail, and then continued, "Yide, before setting off, the king asked Chao to lead his troops to Baishui to meet you."

"Then the troops will be stationed here and wait for him to arrive with the main force before issuing new orders."

"I can save it!"

After Zhang Fei heard this, he also responded with a smile.

As Ma Chao's and Zhang Fei's troops joined forces behind Baishui Pass.

After stationing for many days, the main force of the Chinese army led by Liu Bei, King of Hanzhong, slowly arrived at Baishui Pass.

In the military mansion.

At this moment, Liu Bei was in the main position, with civil and military officials on both sides standing in succession on the left and right.

When everyone gathers together, it’s so wonderful!

"Everyone, our army has now gathered in Baishui with full power. As long as we leave the customs, we can reach Hanzhong in just a few days."

"Do you have any strategies for entering the army? Come on!"

After saying this, Liu Bei glanced at the people around him, his face seemed to be full of expectation.

After the words fell, Fazheng on the side looked calm, as if he had a good plan in mind, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, in the opinion of justice, one of our troops can rush to Jiangyou from now on, and then go straight to Liangzhou along the Dazhong area."

"And the main force will continue to be led by the king and go to Hanzhong to support."

"This two-pronged approach is a good strategy!"
