Three Kingdoms video king: The opening inventory of the top ten fighters!

Chapter 159
"General Hanchen, now that Yuan Shao is defeated and fled to Liyang, it is time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. We only need to leave a small number of soldiers here to guard the prisoners!"

Seeing that Di Qing didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to attack, Zhang Liao expressed his opinion on attacking, but Di Qing didn't have the heart to fight Yuan Shao to the death, and he stopped going south after arriving in Dangyin.

"General Wen Yuan, Li Yang is the bridgehead to enter Yanzhou. The city is high and deep and heavily guarded. Our army is full of cavalry, and it is almost impossible to capture it.

Liyang is just an isolated city, and after Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu decide the victory, they will naturally evacuate this place. Our army can occupy it without a single soldier, so why sacrifice the lives of our brothers.

General Wen Yuan is resting here for the time being, and I will send someone to fly to Ye County to report to my lord. After my lord arrives, I will decide whether to march or not! "

"Well, since General Hanchen is determined to do so, I don't want to say anything more, so I will wait here for a while and make a decision after General Gongsun arrives."

Arranging Zhang Liao in the military camp outside Dangyin City, Di Qing sent people flying horses to Ye County to report the news. Three days later, Gongsun Yue personally led the first army of Youwu soldiers to Ye County.

"Wen Yuan has worked hard, how is General Lu?"

After handing over the first army of Youwu pawns to Di Qing, Gongsun Yue personally went to the camp outside the city to meet the famous Zhang Liao.

"My lord, Zhang Liao is just a small general under Lv Bu's tent. How can he be worthy of the importance of my lord?"

Seeing Qu Yi's unconvinced appearance, Gongsun Yue just smiled and said nothing. In terms of ability, Qu Yi is indeed very strong, but in other respects, Zhang Liao can beat him by several blocks.

Regardless of whether Zhang Liao served as an official of Yanmen County at the beginning, or followed Ding Yuan, He Jin, Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu, he always fulfilled his duties. Although he went through ups and downs, he always kept his heart.

Zhang Liao has never been a direct descendant of Lu Bu. After surrendering to Cao Cao, he was able to distinguish between public and private, and he was able to reform himself and take the overall situation into consideration. He put aside his past suspicions and made peace with the army guard Wu Zhou.

At that time, Guan Yu temporarily joined Cao Cao's camp, and Zhang Liao and Guan Yu were good friends, so Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao to ask Guan Yu's intention to stay or stay, as Guan Yu's personal friend.

Guan Yu stated that he would only follow Liu Bei. Zhang Liao thought that if he told the truth to Cao Cao, he was afraid that Cao Cao would kill Guan Yu, but if he did not tell the truth, it would not be the way to be a king, so he sighed:
"Cao Gong is like a father, and Guan Yu is just a brother."

In the end, while Zhang Liao was worried about Guan Yu's safety, he still insisted on fulfilling the mission of "asking him with emotion". Moreover, Zhang Liao also guaranteed Guan Yu that he would "be sure to serve the public and then go."

Zhang Liao's move not only made his personal friendship with Guan Yu praised by later generations of scholars, but also was considered by later generations as a manifestation of his obedience to his responsibilities and his ability to understand the general situation. For example, Liu Muzhi once said:
"I am honored by the public, and I have nothing to hide. This is why Zhang Liao sued Guan Yu for treason."

He Shangzhi, the right servant of Shangshu, also said:

"I think about Zhang Liao's words, although Guan Yu is a brother, Cao Gong and his son, why don't you say nothing?"

As a general of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao confronted many generals under Cao Cao on the battlefield many times. After surrendering to Cao Cao, he was naturally rejected by many generals under Cao Cao.

Zhang Liao has always been at odds with Li Dian and Le Jin, and even had an old enmity with Li Dian. In the past, the Lu Bu Group where Zhang Liao belonged to, and the Li family of Chengshi where Li Dian belonged to, the two sides had fought fiercely, and the blood and debts were heavy.

The Lü Bu Group had already defeated Cao Cao several times, but due to the locust plague, the Lv Bu Group turned to the Cheng family's Li family for help due to food shortages.

Cheng's Li family pretended to help and paralyzed Lv Bu's group with fat cattle, wine, and sesame cakes, but took the opportunity to defeat Lv Bu's group.

After the retreat of the Lu Bu Group, they fought against the enemy and made a comeback, violently retaliating against the Cheng family's Li family. Li Dian's close relative Li Gan was also killed by the Lu Bu Group.

But when Hefei City was facing the invasion of the Eastern Wu army, Zhang Liao was still able to invite Li Dian to fight together regardless of past suspicions. Li Dian also showed the demeanor of taking care of the overall situation and was willing to fight with Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao had fought fiercely with the old generals of Cao Jun in the Lv Bu Group, so it was reasonable for him to be at odds with Yu Jin, Le Jin and others.

However, once, Zhang Liao had a conflict with Wu Zhou, his guard, so Zhang Liao came to see Wen Hui, the governor of Yangzhou, hoping to invite Hu Zhi to serve as his guard.

Hu Zhi declined the appointment on the pretext of being ill. After Zhang Liao and Hu Zhi left the house, Zhang Liao said to Hu Zhi:

"I think highly of you, and why do you want to let me down so much?"

Hu Zhi said: "The ancients Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya knew each other. Guan Zhong took a lot of business dividends, but Bao Shuya still believed that he was not a greedy person.

Guan Zhong often ran away when he joined the army and fought. Bao Shuya still believed that he was not a coward. Hearing rumors slandering Guan Zhong, Bao Shuya would not believe those rumors.

This kind of friendship can last forever!Wu Zhou is an elegant scholar, in the past, you were full of praise for him, but now you have conflicts because of some trivial matters.

What's more, my talent is shallow, how can I always gain your trust?That's why I don't want to work. "

Zhang Liao was very grateful for what Hu Zhi said, so he changed his ways and restored harmony with Wu Zhou.

Zhang Liao is not only used to fighting, but also good at commanding troops. After surrendering to Cao Cao, he guarded Hefei for many years, which made Soochow's repeated attacks fruitless.

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.

So 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.
