Chapter 158 Zhang Liao Stops Crying
Wang Hui thought that his army was no match for the Xiongnu army and had to retreat. Han Anguo and others led the army to ambush in Mayi.

However, the consequences of the failure of the "Siege of Mayi" were far-reaching. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fled because Wang Hui proposed a war, and put Wang Hui in prison.

Although Wang Hui bribed Tian Fu to intercede through the Queen Mother, the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he still could not calm the anger of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Wang Hui was forced to commit suicide to apologize.

After the "Siege of Mayi", the Xiongnu refused to make peace with the Western Han Dynasty, blocked roads and looted at the border, or sent troops to attack the border counties of the Han Dynasty in order to retaliate against the siege of Mayi. The number was too large to count.

Although the "Siege of Mayi" was unsuccessful, it brought an end to the humiliating "peace" policy pursued by the Han Dynasty since the early Western Han Dynasty, and also opened the prelude to the large-scale war between Han and Hungary.

In March 188 AD, Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, was defeated and killed when resisting the attack of the Hu people. Ding, who succeeded him as the governor of Bingzhou, called Zhang Liao to work because of his extraordinary force, and ordered him to lead his troops to the capital to accept the general He Jin's leadership.

General He Jin sent Zhang Liao to Hebei to recruit soldiers. Zhang Liao recruited more than a thousand soldiers in Hebei, and then returned to the capital to report to He Jin, but at this time He Jin had been killed by the eunuch.

The angry soldiers attacked and killed the eunuchs, and the surviving eunuchs hijacked Han Shaodi. In the end, Dong Zhuo made great contributions to saving him, and after returning to Beijing, he took control of the court.

Since He Jin was dead, Zhang Liao, as one of the direct subordinates of General He Jin, was subordinate to Dong Zhuo.

Although Zhang Liao "belongs to Lu Bu as a soldier", he still maintains a relatively independent position in Lu Bu's army in the name of the northern prefect or Lu Xiang.

Soon, Li Jue, Guo Bang, Fan Chou and others attacked Chang'an and defeated Lv Bu. Zhang Liao, the prefect of the north, followed Lv Bu and fled eastward, wandering through Guanzhong, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Yanzhou. , and went to Xuzhou.

What really made Zhang Liao famous were two major events, one was to follow Cao Cao to break Wuhuan, and the other was Xiaoyaojin's "eight hundred thousand breaks".

In 207 A.D., Cao Cao was going to conquer Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi and Wuhuan in Liucheng. Zhang Liao went with the army. In August, Cao Cao led the vanguard to climb Bailang Mountain, and suddenly encountered the enemy.

The number of enemies was large. At that time, the main force of Cao Cao's army was still in the rear and had not yet reached the front line, and Cao Cao had only a small number of troops around him.

The generals of the Cao army hoped to wait for the follow-up troops, and were afraid of the current dangerous situation. In the Cao army atmosphere of "fear from both left and right", Zhang Liao tried his best to oppose the fear of the enemy, and tried his best to persuade Cao Cao to take advantage of the Hulu's attack. The formation is disorganized, engage immediately instead of waiting for backup.

Zhang Liao's words and demeanor during the persuasive battle were full of courage and courage. Cao Cao admired Zhang Liao's majestic fighting spirit, and saw that Wuhuan's army had not yet formed a battle formation, so he adopted Zhang Liao's suggestion.

Cao Cao personally awarded Zhang Liao the command he held for temporary use, and ordered Zhang Liao to command the vanguard troops to fight.

Zhang Liao led an army to attack, smashed Wuhuan's army, and beheaded Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun, who was known as "Smart Warrior".

Although the battle was outnumbered and the left and right were fearful, and "tough and fierce, the elders on the side are all as good as the brave", Zhang Liao strongly advocated a quick attack. In the end, it was as fast as the wind, and the captives collapsed. , More than [-] descendants from the Han Dynasty.

In 213 A.D., Zhang Liao and Zang Ba were both forwards in the campaign against Ruxukou, and later they broke through Sun Quan's Jiangxi camp and captured Sun Quan's governor Gong Sunyang.

In May of 214 AD, Sun Quan personally conquered Wancheng, Zhang Liao rushed to help Wancheng from Hefei, and learned that Wancheng was lost during the reinforcements.

Therefore, Zhang Liao quickly built a fortress in the south of Xiashi as an outpost of Hefei. In July of the same year, Cao Cao conquered Sun Quan. In October of the same year, Cao Cao returned from Hefei without success.

When Cao Cao left Hefei, he took away a large number of troops for the Western Expedition, leaving only more than [-] troops for Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Li Dian and other generals stationed in Hefei.

Zhang Liao learned that Cao Cao wanted to march west, and thought that Hefei would be isolated and helpless, and Sun Quan would take the opportunity to attack, so Zhang Liao dug Zangzhoupu to hide the boats.

In 215 A.D., Cao Cao led a heavy army to attack Zhanglu westward, and asked Xue Ti, the guard, to send a letter. It was written on the side of the letter that it should be opened when the enemy came to attack.

Soon after, Sun Quan, the leader of Soochow Wu, led an army of [-] to encircle Hefei. Zhang Liao and the generals opened a letter saying: "If Sun Quan's army arrives, generals Zhang and Li will go out to fight, and General Le will guard the army, so we must not fight."

Cao Cao only clarified the division of labor among the three generals in the letter. However, he did not mention specific measures such as when to leave the city, when to retreat, the number of people leaving the city, where to attack, and how to respond.

Therefore, all the generals in Hefei were full of doubts. Zhang Liao made an analysis based on the current situation of Cao Cao's expedition to Hanzhong and Hefei lacked backup.

So Zhang Liao recruited 800 elite soldiers who dared to go out of the city to fight that night, and stripped cattle to feed the soldiers and prepare for tomorrow's battle.

At dawn, Zhang Liao was armed with a halberd, and he climbed up to the enemy's line first, tearing the defense line of the Soochow army.

Before he led his army into the Chinese camp of Soochow, Zhang Liao had personally beheaded dozens of Soochow soldiers and two Soochow generals.

While shouting his name loudly, he fought and rushed into the camp of the Chinese army in Soochow. After that, Zhang Liao led the army to continue the onslaught, all the way to the banner of Sun Quan's commander-in-chief.

Sun Quan was shocked when he saw this, and the soldiers around Sun Quan were also panicked and didn't know how to deal with it. So Sun Quan and others fled to a higher mountain mound and used their long halberds to defend themselves.

When Zhang Liao saw that the enemy commander retreated, he scolded Sun Quan and provoked him to come down to fight, but Sun Quan did not act rashly. Later, Sun Quan found that Zhang Liao's soldiers were very few, so he gathered the Soochow army and surrounded Zhang Liao's troops.

Zhang Liao rushed left and right in the Wu army formation, finally opened the encirclement and led his subordinates to break through. Jiang Qin and many other famous Soochow generals attacked Hefei together.

However, Zhang Liao led 800 people into the Dongwu [-] army, which made Sun Quan escape by "walking up the high mound".

The numerous Soochow troops were unable to stop Zhang Liao, and were finally defeated by Zhang Liao. From then on, Zhang Liao shook Jiangdong, and whenever the children in Jiangdong cried, their parents would say "Zhang Liao is here" to scare them Child.
