Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 302

In the fifth year of Jianxing, news came from counties such as Dunhuang and Jiuquan in Liangzhou that Cheshi Kingdom and Qiuci Kingdom in the Western Regions took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and the decline of the Han Dynasty, and repeatedly attacked the territory of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, Sima Yi had just died, and Liu Chan needed to stabilize the situation, so there was no such thing as a kung fu officer. Who knew that the Kucha Kingdom would make an inch and send troops to capture half of Dunhuang County!
Therefore, Liu Chan finally couldn't sit still. In the sixth year of Jianxing, Liu Chan's imperial conquest, ordered Ma Chao to be the vanguard, led 20 troops, and more than a thousand generals, to conquer the Western Regions!

There was originally a long history of the Western Regions in the Western Regions, who managed the countries in the Western Regions. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Chao once sat in the Protectorate of the Western Regions to open up territories for the Han Dynasty. Ban Yong, the son of Ban Chao, was also the Chief History of the Western Regions, and managed the countries in the Western Regions.

But after Ban Yong's death, the Ban family gradually declined, and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the great Han Dynasty was too busy to take care of the affairs of the Western Regions, so the countries in the Western Regions became chaotic, and now they dare to attack Big man!
However, attacking the Western Regions is not an easy task. If you fight well, it will open up the territory for the great Han. Ban Chao is a good example; if you don’t fight well, it will waste your troops. national power.

Liu Chan, the emperor, has always made extraordinary moves since he came to the throne. Now that Liu Chan personally leads the army to attack the Western Regions, of course it has attracted Zhang De's attention.If Liu Chan loses this time, then at least in three to five years, it will be difficult for Liu Chan to pose a threat to Zhang De, and if Liu Chan wins, then it will be a shot in the arm for the entire struggle for power in Chang'an!

Of course, there are many situations for victory. If Liu Chan loses too much troops in the process of conquering the Western Regions, then Zhang De is very happy to see it.

……

Since the loss of Xuchang, the Cao brothers have focused their defense on Runan.

Runan is located in a plain, and there are not many mountains. This is an advantage for the Cao brothers. There are no mountains and rivers. It is difficult for Zhuge Liang to set up an ambush. Put there, on the Runan Plain, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to confront Cao Jun head-on.

A war of attrition was the last thing Zhuge Liang wanted to see, so Zhuge Liang had to think of another way out, so in June of the sixth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang ordered Liao Hua to be the vanguard, Liu Pan to be the chief general, and Ma Su to be the army commander with [-] troops. Jiangxia went west and attacked Anfeng County, intending to bypass Runan and go straight to Huainan, so as to disrupt the supply of Cao's rear.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang's troops left Xuchang and came to the territory of Runan to confront Cao Jun. He must not let Cao Jun have the opportunity to return to Huainan.

This division of troops caused the three brothers of the Cao family to be in chaos. Cao Jun was restrained in Runan by Zhuge Liang and could not return to help. In this way, although Shouchun would not be captured, the entire Huainan might be greatly damaged. You must know that Huainan But now Cao Jun's rear area!
As a last resort, Cao Ang had to order Zhang Liao, who was stationed in Chenliu, to go south to support Huainan.

……

Hulao Pass.

The guard guarding Hulao Pass is Cao Chun.

Now that Cao Cao fell ill, Hulao Pass became the gateway to guard Yanzhou. If Hulao Pass was lost, the whole Yanzhou would be exposed to Liu Chan. So at this time, Cao Ang had to send someone he could trust to guard Hulao Pass, and Cao Chun became The best candidate.

Now that Zhang Liao's army has been transferred to Huainan, the entire Yanzhou is empty of troops, and Hulao Pass has become the only barrier against Liu Chan!Fortunately for Cao Chun, Liu Chan has already personally led the army to conquer the Western Regions, that is, before Liu Chan returns, Hulao Pass is not too dangerous!
A ray of the setting sun shone on Hulao Pass, Cao Chun raised his eyes and looked, and there seemed to be bursts of cooking smoke rising in the distance.

Hulaoguan is very close to Luoyang, and the surrounding area of ​​Luoyang is a place where ordinary people live densely, so it is not surprising that you can see cooking smoke here!
At this moment, a puff of smoke rose from the west, and then, a golden flag appeared on the ground plain!The word "horse" on it is very conspicuous!

Immediately afterwards, a group of troops appeared in front of them. The leader was a general wearing silver armor. Cao Chun saw that this person was Ma Chao!

Cao Chun was secretly surprised when he saw Ma Chao. Didn't he follow Liu Chan to the Western Regions?Why is it here!
For a split second, Cao Chun seemed to understand something, and Cao Chun roared: "Ready to fight!" Immediately afterwards, a rapid bell rang from the tower of Hulao Pass!
Liu Chan's army has attacked the city!

Throughout the night, Ma Chao continued to supervise the battle, and the soldiers rushed to Hulao Pass in wave after wave!
At dawn, another group of troops appeared in the distance. Cao Chun stood at the gate of the Hulao, and he could even see that the pair of troops were dressed as the Habayashi Army, and there was an honor guard of the emperor among them!
Now there is only one person who can have the emperor's guard of honor on the other side, and that is Liu Chan!Is Liu Chan here?Cao Chun thought.

Facts quickly proved Cao Chun's idea, and Liu Chan's banner was raised.

When Liu Chanjun saw the emperor coming to the front line and personally overseeing the battle, his morale was shaken, and he attacked the city even more desperately. At this time, Cao Chun had fully understood that Liu Chan's previous expedition to the west was probably a sneaky plan!The so-called 20 Western Expedition Army may be in front of them!
Cao Chun guessed right, Liu Chan's expedition to the West was originally a cover!After Liu Chan's army left Jiuquan, it immediately headed north, then circled to the grassland, and then entered Luoyang from Hetao. It circled a big circle, the purpose was to paralyze the enemy, let the enemy relax their vigilance, and then attack Hulaoguan!
For this reason, after many days of arrangements by Liu Chan, even except for a few important generals, the others did not know until they came out of Jiuquan that the attack on the Western Regions was originally a pretense.

To the west of Jiuquan is Dunhuang. Dunhuang in the Han Dynasty was not full of neighbors like it is now. Dunhuang in the Han Dynasty was still an oasis, so Liu Chan did not have any difficulty in marching in this big detour!

Cao Chun persisted for three whole days. For three days, Liu Chan's army seemed to be tireless, attacking Hulao Pass day and night, and finally on the third day, Hulao Pass was breached!Cao Chun died in Hulao Pass!

Immediately afterwards, Liu Chan's army did not rest, and went straight to Chenliu. Most of the defenders in Yanzhou were taken away by Zhang Liao, and Liu Chan's army seemed to be in a land of no one!

After occupying Chenliu, Liu Chan's army was divided into three groups. Ma Chao led [-] troops and went straight to Dongjun; Reinforcements are coming!
……

At the same time, Zhang Liao's reinforcements finally entered Huainan territory!
"Report to the general, Tanma has found Zhang Liao's army fifty miles ahead!"

Liao Hua nodded and said, "Send an order to stop marching, and immediately send someone to notify General Liu Pan that Zhang Liao's army has been found!"

Liu Pan soon received news from Liao Hua!
But Liu Pan was not in a hurry at all. Before he left, Zhuge Liang gave Liu Pan three kits, and told him that if he met Zhang Liao's reinforcements, he could look through the first kit!
Ever since, Liu Pan opened the first kit!
