When it was just dawn on the second day, the sound of drums at the bottom of the gate was shocked. Ma Chao's troops arrived. When Liu Bei came out to watch, he only saw the shadow of the door flag. Ma Chao rode a gun, a lion helmet and a beast belt, and a silver armor and white
The robe, one is that it shows something different from ordinary people in its momentum, and then it is a handsome appearance. Liu Bei sighed: "Others say it is Jin Ma Chao. When I see you today, it is indeed worthy of your reputation!" Zhang Fei was about to go down to challenge.
Liu Bei hurriedly came out to stop him and said, "Don't go out to fight first, we must avoid their edge."
So Ma Chao yelled and cursed before the lockdown, specifically asking Zhang Fei to come out for a duel. When Zhang Fei was closed, he was very angry and wished he could go down and tear Ma Chao to pieces. However, he was blocked by Liu Bei many times. In the afternoon, Liu Bei saw someone in Ma Chao's army exhausted.
Then he selected five hundred cavalrymen and walked down the gate with Zhang Fei.
When Ma Chao saw Zhang Fei's military horse arrive, he waved his gun back and the soldiers retreated for a distance. Zhang Fei stopped the soldiers and the closed military horses arrived at the scene one after another.
Zhang Fei took off his horse and shouted, "Do you recognize Zhang Yide, a man from Yan?"
Ma Chao sneered: "Our family is a marquis of generations. How could I know a common man from a countryside?"
Zhang Fei was very angry. The two of them came out of the formation together and fought for a duel. They quickly fought for hundreds of rounds without a distinction. Liu Bei watched the fight throughout the whole process and sighed: "What a tiger general!" He was afraid of Zhang Fei.
After making a mistake, he lost the general and quickly called out the gold and retreated his troops, and the two of them went back separately.
Zhang Fei returned to the formation, after a while, he did not wear a helmet, but just wrapped a turban and went to the formation to challenge Ma Chao. Ma Chao came out immediately, and the two of them fought. Liu Bei was always a little worried, so he personally
After hanging up the horse and going to the formation to watch, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao fought for hundreds of rounds, and their spirits were getting better and better. Liu Bei felt that it was almost done, so he called the gold to stop the army. The two separated again and returned.
At night, Zhang Fei wanted to go to the duel, but Zhang Fei said, "Ma Chao is very brave. You can't underestimate the enemy. Retreat to the lockdown first, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Zhang Fei thought that he hadn't finished the fight yet, so he was willing to rest, and shouted: "No, I have to fight again!"
Liu Bei said: "It's dark, so you can't fight anymore!"
Zhang Fei said: "Let's light some torches and we'll have a night battle!"
Ma Chao also wanted to fight, so he went straight to the formation and shouted, "Zhang Fei! Do you dare to come out and fight at night?"
After hearing this, Zhang Fei naturally couldn't sit still. He changed his mount to Liu Bei, went out of the formation, and shouted: "I won't catch you alive, I swear I won't get to the gate!"
Ma Chao replied: "I can't beat you, I will never go back to the camp!"
The soldiers on both sides shouted, lit a torch in front of them, and shone the night like the day. The two of them went to the front of the formation to fight one-on-one again. After twenty rounds, Ma Chao turned to the horse and retreated, Zhang Fei shouted: "Go to go."
Where to go!”
It turned out that Ma Chao still couldn't beat Zhang Fei after seeing that he had been fighting for so long. He had a plan in his mind, pretending to fail, let Zhang Fei come over, and then hid the hammer in his hand, turned around and threw it towards Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei saw it
Ma Chao left, as a person with rich experience in one-on-one challenge, he was also wary of his heart. When the hammer came, Zhang Fei quickly dodged and passed by his ear. Zhang Fei turned his horse around, and Ma Chao chased him again. Zhang Fei turned around and shot arrows.
He also hid.
In this way, there is no chance of winning or losing. Liu Bei shouted in front of the formation: "I treat others with kindness and righteousness, and will not use conspiracies. Ma Chao, please withdraw your troops and rest, I will not take advantage of the opportunity to chase you!"
After hearing this, Ma Chao broke the back personally, and the other soldiers retreated.
Liu Bei also brought his troops back to the cusp. On the second day, Zhang Fei was preparing to continue the decisive battle with Ma Chao. Some people reported that it was the military advisor who arrived and Liu Bei welcomed Kong Ming.
Kong Ming bowed and said, "I heard that Ma Chao is a brave tiger general. If he fights with Zhang Fei, one of them will definitely suffer casualties, so I asked Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong to guard Mianzhu. I came here overnight.
Use a strategy to make Ma Chao surrender to the lord.”
Liu Bei hurried forward and held Kong Ming's hand, unable to hide his excitement, and said, "I have seen Ma Chao very brave these days. I like him very much. How can I get him?"
Kong Ming smiled and said, "I heard that Zhang Lu from Dongchuan was about to become the king of Hanzhong. He had a counselor named Yang Song, who was very greedy for money. The lord could send someone to Hanzhong from a small way, bribe Zhang Song with gold and silver, and then write a letter.
To Zhang Lu, I am fighting for Xichuan, this is avenging you. You cannot believe the slander. After the matter is completed, I will definitely recommend you as the King of Hanzhong. I hope you will withdraw Ma Chao and wait until Ma Chao retreats.
I will use a strategy to surrender Ma Chao.”
Liu Bei was very happy and immediately wrote a letter, sending Sun Qian to Hanzhong with gold, silver and jewelry. He first went to Yang Song to make some arrangements, explained the matter in detail, and then gave a lot of gold and silver.
Yang Song was very happy and took Sun Qian to find Zhang Lu first to explain that it was convenient.
Zhang Lu said: "Liu Bei's official position is only General Zuo. How can I recommend me as King of Hanzhong?"
Yang Song said: "He is the Han Dynasty emperor's uncle whom Emperor Xian personally awarded him, and he happened to report the truth."
Zhang Lu was very happy and asked Ma Chao to stop his troops. Sun Qian was waiting for a reply at Yang Song's house. In less than a day, the messenger came back to report and said, "Ma Chao meant that if he did not succeed, he would definitely not withdraw his troops."
Zhang Lu sent someone to persuade him again, but he still refused to come back. He went there three times in a row, but he still refused to obey.
Yang Song immediately took this opportunity to attack and said, "Ma Chao has never had any loyalty to say. If he refuses to stop his troops, he is preparing to rebel!" Then he sent people to spread rumors around the city: Ma Chao is preparing to seize Xichuan, for
The lord in Shu avenged his father and refused to surrender to Hanzhong.
After hearing this, Zhang Lu was a little worried, so he went to Yang Song to ask for a solution. Yang Song said: "On the one hand, we went to Ma Chao and said that since you want to succeed and come back, you will give you a month deadline, but you have to agree to three things.
If you agree, you will be rewarded. If you don’t agree, you will definitely be killed! One is to take Xichuan, the other is to ask Liu Zhang’s head, and the third is to withdraw the troops from Jingzhou. Three things are not successful. You can bring your head to see you. Then
Send people to guard the pass with their troops to prevent Ma Chao from mutiny."
After following this suggestion, Zhang Lu sent someone to Ma Chao's camp to explain.
After hearing this, Ma Chao was very surprised and said, "What should I do?" So he discussed with Ma Dai and said, "It's better for us to stop the troops and go back."
Yang Song made another rumor: Ma Chao must have an idea when he came back this time, so Zhang Wei divided the seven armies and held the pass tightly, not letting Ma Chao enter.
At this time, Ma Chao was unable to advance or retreat, and there was no way.
Kong Ming said to Liu Bei: "Now Ma Chao is in a dilemma. With his words, I personally went to Ma Chao's camp to explain that Ma Chao will surrender."
Liu Bei said: "Sir is my right-hand man. If there is danger, what should I do!"
Kong Ming was determined to go in person, but Liu Bei just disagreed because he regretted Pang Tong's death in his heart.
At this time, he suddenly reported that Zhao Yun recommended someone from Xichuan to surrender.
