The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Chong Shao, Liu Fan and others have their own origins.

Chong Shao is the grandson of Chong Hao and the son of Chong Fu.

Chong Hao once served as the prefect of Liangzhou, and was very popular with the people. Later, when he was recruited by the court for promotion, officials visited the Que and asked him to stay. Empress Dowager Liang, who was approaching the court at that time, sighed and said: "I have never heard that the governor has won the hearts of the people." Chong Hao stayed as the prefect of Liangzhou for a year and was promoted to the prefect of Hanyang, the Hanyang County between Jincheng County and Youfufeng. But he took his own car, planted Hao and even walked thousands of miles.

In the first year of Yanxi, the southern Xiongnu invaders merged and Liangzhou, and the court worshiped Zhonghao as the general of the Liao Dynasty. When Chong Hao arrived at the camp, he first declared his kindness and lured the Hu Hu. If he refused to accept it, he then asked for it. There were many Qiang people in Liangzhou. In the past, many Qiang prisoners were detained in the prefectures and counties as hostages. He sent them back. Sincerely caress, trust and rewards are clear, because the Qiang prisoners, including Qiuci, Shache, Wusun, etc. in the Western Regions, all came to obey, and the border has been safe since then. In the fourth year of Yanxi, Chong Hao was appointed Situ, and successively recommended famous officials such as Guo Qiaoxuan and Huangfugui to the court. Huangfu Gui is Huangfu Weiming, also known as "Liangzhou Sanming" together with Zhang Huan and Duan Jong. Chong Hao died three years later as Situ, the people of Bing and Liang heard about it, Xian mourned, and the Huns heard about it, and the whole country grieved. The Southern Xiongnu Shanyu cried and offered sacrifices every time he saw Chong Hao's tomb.

Although Chong Fu was not in Liang and served as an official, he was also a famous minister of a generation, and he was also the third prince. In the first year of Chuping, Dai Xun Shuang became Sikong. After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and others captured Chang'an, and most of the officials collapsed. When Zong Fu was already gray-haired, he swung his sword out and said generously: "As a minister of the state, you cannot stop the arrogance and eliminate the violence, causing the murderer The thieves are attacking the palace, what do they want!" Then he died in battle.

His grandfather and father were famous officials, and Chong Shao did not fall into the family name. He was famous in the world when he was young. In the last years of Zhongping, he was worshipped by the imperial court as a counselor doctor. Chen Jisuo Yun called "the counselor doctor Chong Shao". The doctor is talking about the official position of Zhong Shao Zhongping in his late years.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, the general He Jin, who was an eunuch, summoned Dong Zhuo, the shepherd of Bingzhou, to the capital. However, when Dong Zhuo arrived at Mianchi, He Jin began to be suspicious. Shao Xuan ordered to stop Dong Zhuo from entering Beijing. Dong Zhuo suspected that there was a major change in the court, so he was reluctant to accept the order and sent his sergeants to threaten Chong Shao with swords and spears. Chong Shao was furious and told the soldiers in a loud voice that he had the emperor's edict and yelled at him. The soldiers were frightened by his righteousness and scattered; Chong Shaoyin stepped forward to question and rebuke Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo resigned, so he returned to the Sunset Pavilion.

Soon, He Jin was killed by the eunuch. Later, Dong Zhuo assumed power. Because he hated Chong Shao's strong power, he demoted him to the speaker, and then appointed him as the prefect of Yizhou and Liangzhou. -- the prefects of Yizhou and Liangzhou were both Chong Shao's grandfather, Chong Hao. 's official position. Dong Zhuo did this to drive Chong Shao away from the court. Hui Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, and then Chong Fu, the father of Chong Shao, died in battle, so Chong Shao did not take office.

Later, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou caused chaos in the imperial court, and recruited Chong Shao to be the Shaofu and Dahonglu. Although the Shaofu and Dahonglu have all the honors of the nine ministers, Chong Shao remembers his father's tragic death, so how could he accept the official position given to him in the name of the imperial court, such as Li Jue, who killed his father's enemy? Therefore it is not accepted. He often said impassively with his close friends: "In the past, my late father sacrificed himself for the country, and I was a minister. I couldn't get rid of the crippled and remorseful, so what is the face of the pilgrimage to the Lord!" Those who seek revenge, seek revenge for their father.

For this reason, and the fact that Chong Shao's grandfather, Chong Hao, had an old reputation in Liangzhou, this time he had private contact with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and he was willing to be Han Sui and Ma Teng's internal response and eliminate him. Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and other thieves happened.

Liu Fan, a general of the Zuo Zhonglang who was conspiring with Chong Shao, was also of noble origin, or in terms of blood alone, he was more noble than Chong Shao. Liu Fan is Liu Yan's eldest son; Liu Yan's second son, Liu Dan, is also in the court, serving as the official, the official, the bookkeeper and the imperial history, and he also participated in their conspiracy.

As for Ma Yu, the servant, this person is of similar origin to Chong Shao, Liu Fan, and Liu Dan, and his family is also 2,000 stone. The servant is the emperor's close minister, equivalent to the secretary of later generations. Ma Yu's participation in this matter indicates that there may be today's support for them.

There is another important person involved in this conspiracy, named Du Wei. Du Wei is the current Zhonglang general, and he has some soldiers and horses under his command.

these few

All individuals have a reputation themselves, or they may be like Zhong Shao, whose ancestors and fathers are famous officials of the Han Dynasty, or brothers like Liu Fan, whose father is the current local power faction, or like Liu Fan and Du Qi, who have soldiers under their command, it can be said that They are all figures of the prime-age generation in today's Chang'an Dynasty.

Therefore, as soon as they got in touch with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and said they would like to respond internally, Ma Teng and Han Sui moved their troops to Changpingguan.

But objectively speaking, if this matter goes well, Ma Teng and Han Sui really cannot rule out the possibility of overthrowing Chang'an.

But the problem is that not long after Ma Teng and Han Suibing arrived at Changping Temple, the plans of Chong Shao and others were leaked and Li Jue learned about them.

The people of Zhong Shao quickly fled from Chang'an to Huaili.

Huaili, a county, is located a little south of the west of Chang'an. According to Chang'an about 60 miles away.

...

Chen Ji said: "As soon as the plots of the people of Zhongshao were leaked, Li Jue sent Guo Si, Fan Chou and their son Li Li to attack Changping Guan."

Xun Zhen and others listened attentively to Chen Ji's narration of this thrilling military and political change in Chang'an.

...

It has been six or seven years since Ma Teng and Han Sui rebelled during the Zhongping period.

For several years, although they were defeated by Huangfu Song, and the kingdom died because of it, but in general, they were no match for the three helpers, and even if it was Huangfu Song's battle. Victory also took advantage of the fact that they were unable to attack Chencang for a long time, and the soldiers were exhausted to defeat them.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, Han Sui, Ma Teng and their leader Kingdom at the time besieged Chencang County.

The court worshipped Huangfu Song as the left general, and oversaw the former general Dong Zhuo, and each led 20,000 people to rescue Chen Cang.

Dong Zhuo suggested a quick march to Chencang, but Huangfu Song did not agree. Huangfu Song believed that the defense of Chencang County was strong, and the rebels would not be able to conquer it.

The final result was as expected by Huangfu Song. From November of the fifth year of Zhongping, Wang Guo, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others surrounded Chencangcheng until February of the following year, from winter to spring, for more than 80 days. Being able to conquer Chencang, the soldiers were exhausted and had to retreat in the end.

It was only at this time that Huangfu Song ordered an attack. At this time, however, Dong Zhuo once again put forward a different opinion from Huangfu Song. Huangfu Song believed that the rebels had now become exhausted soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit, instead of returning to the masses and being poor pirates. Then Huangfu Song asked Dong Zhuo to lead the army to pursue them in person, winning consecutive battles and beheading more than 10,000 people.

But then again, it's the same sentence. The reason why Huangfu Song was able to win this battle was mainly because the kingdom, Ma Teng, and Han Sui's troops had been surrounded by Chencang for a long time, and their troops were exhausted. Both Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhuo can be described as famous generals of the Han family, but Huangfu Song did not move, and refused to fight; and when they retreated, Dong Zhuo suggested not to pursue them.

From these two things, it is enough to see the level of the elites of Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Because of this, Li Jue was originally afraid of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and he was still hesitating whether to fight or not.

But now that Chong Shao's conspiracy was leaked, the opponent's knife was raised, so if he didn't want to fight, he had to fight!

Therefore, Li Jue immediately made a decision and sent out all the warriors and soldiers in his army. His right-hand man Guo Si and Fan Chou went out to the horse, and attacked Changpingguan first. Chang'an, control the court, and threaten Huaili from afar.

This is the battle between the Liangzhou warlord group headed by Li Jue and the temporary Liangzhou warlord alliance group Ma Teng and Han Sui.

...

After Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Li Li arrived at Changpingguan, they built a camp, and they fought with Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Chen Ji said: "On the day of the battle, the two thieves armies set out against each other and went to the wilderness, forming their own formations. The main thieves formed a formation in the east, Guo Si, Fan Choutong, Li Li and others would lead the elite cavalry on the two wings. ; Ma Teng and Han Sui were in formation in the west, Ma Teng in the north, and Han Sui in the south.

"After noon, the thieves' group attacked first, the drums were loud, and the arrows were like rain. I was in Chang'an, and I climbed up and looked at it, and I looked northwest. Although it was more than 40 miles away, it was as if I could see the dust rising! Listening to it, you can vaguely hear the sound of drum horns and shouts of killing!"

Xun Zhen and the others are all veterans of war. When they heard Chen Ji's words, they all knew that the so-called "if you can see the dust rising", "you can vaguely hear the sound of drum horns and shouts of killing", I'm afraid it should be Chen Ji's imagination. More than forty miles away, can you see dust? Absolutely invisible. Can you hear the movement of the battlefield? Also basically impossible.

However, everyone just listened carefully, and no one corrected Chen Ji.

Chen Ji went on to say: "After the war, many of the people near Changpingguan escaped into the city to avoid military disasters. When asked, they all had lingering fears, and they were all overwhelmed with horror. There were even those who had retreated from both sides of him and secretly ran away. On the battlefield, the bold villagers who saw the tragic situation after the war with their own eyes said that the battle was fought from noon to evening, and the ground was bloodied and corpses were everywhere!

"The villagers said that as far as they could see, in the huge blood-stained wilderness, there were corpses half-covered by the wind and sand, severed limbs and arms; most of the corpses were decomposed, wild dogs were in groups, and crows hovered above them like clouds. There is no need to search for it at all, and you can find piles of broken knives, arrow clusters, spearheads, or ruined armor with a casual look."

Xun Zhen asked, "Chen Gong, do you know the specific fighting process of this battle?"

"In this battle, Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops were at a disadvantage from the very beginning. Guo Si took the lead, and Fan Chou personally came to supervise the battle. The attack of the thieves' troops was very fierce. Before the battle, Ma Teng and Han Sui's formation were almost defeated."

Xun Zhen said: "When the battle begins, you will lose the wind, and you will be in danger before the formation of the two sides. How did you fight until the evening?"

Chen Ji said: "Although the thieves are good soldiers, and Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Li Li are all fierce generals, Ma Chao, the eldest son of Ma Teng, and Yan Xingzhe, the eldest son of Han Sui, are also fierce generals. Thanks to him Two, Ma Teng and Han Sui did not lose quickly."

Xun Zhen said, "Ma Chao, Yan Xing?"

Chen Ji nodded and said, "Exactly."

Xun Zhen subconsciously said: "Ma Chao, this person..." Before she finished speaking~www.wuxiaspot.com~ woke up, and hurriedly put away the words below.

Chen Ji asked, "Zhenzhi, do you know the name of Ma Chao?"

Xun Zhen touched her chin and her short mustache and said, "I seem to have heard it before."

Chen Ji did not doubt that he had it, and said, "Ma Chao is not very old. He should only be eighteen or nineteen years old this year, and he has not yet won the championship, but although he is young, he has won the championship and the three armies, and he has the courage to be invincible."

...

Guo Si and Fan Chou urged the soldiers to fight.

They seized the shortcomings of Ma Teng and Han Sui's inability to concentrate, and first led the troops to attack Han Sui's formation with Fan Chou.

Han Sui retreated, and Ma Teng stood alone.

Guo Si seized this opportunity and attacked the front of the Ma Teng array with the armored soldiers; at the same time, Li Li galloped out and attacked the north flank of the Ma Teng array.

Ma Teng's formation was attacked on both the east and north sides, and the formation was shaken immediately.

At this critical moment, Ma Chao wore heavy armor, wrapped in brocade clothes, rode a white horse, attracted hundreds of elite riders, prancing horses with lances, and fought against Li Li's troops. Although Li Li's troops were numerous, with thousands of cavalrymen, he could not be the vanguard. Ma Chao led this hundred cavalry and crashed into Li Li's army, strangling them back and forth, and in the meantime, the leader was invincible.

Seeing this, Han Sui also dispatched Yan Xing to lead his cavalry into the formation, and attacked the flanks of the main formation of Guo Si and Fan Chou.

The horse surpassed the battle and became more courageous. His mount was injured in the battle. He took the enemy's horse and returned to the battle. After the battle, only a dozen of his followers remained, but he still did not retreat. Li Li's soldiers were afraid of being killed by him, so they did not dare to go forward.

Hearing this, Xun Zhen sighed without realizing it, "Ma Chao is still in his twenties, and he is so brave that he can be called a hero!"

"When the sea is in turmoil, the father and son Ma Teng and Ma Chao are willing to be thieves, first bringing trouble to the three assistants, then following the rebellion against Dong Zhuo, and now, because their selfish desires are not satisfied, they brazenly mobilize troops to fight against the thieves of Li Jue outside Chang'an. They are thieves! What is a strong man?" This indignation came from Chen Ji.
