However, when Cao Cao retreated to Xiegu, Kong Ming thought that he would abandon Hanzhong and leave, so he sent Ma Chao and other generals to divide his troops into dozens of ways and attack from time to time. Therefore, Cao could not stay for a long time. He was shot by Wei Yan and rushed to the army. The three armies were exhausted. The front team was able to do it, and two fires started, and Ma Chao was ambushing the soldiers and chased them. Cao all feared. Cao ordered the soldiers to go quickly and ran without stopping at night. Until Jingzhao, they could only feel at ease.

Let me say that Xuande ordered Liu Feng, Meng Da, Wang Ping and others to capture Shangyong counties. Shen Dan and others heard that Cao had abandoned Hanzhong and left, so they all surrendered. Xuande had already made up his mind to be the emperor and rewarded the three armies. People were very happy. So all the generals had the intention to respect Xuande as the emperor. They did not dare to open it directly, but came to report to Zhuge Military Advisor, Kong Ming said, "My intention has been settled." Following Fa Zheng and others to see Xuande, he said, "Now Cao Cao is powerless, and the people have no master; the lord is benevolent and righteous in the world, and now he has the land of two rivers, and he can respond to the people of Tianshun and ascend to the throne, and be justified and obey the traitor. If things are not delayed, please choose auspicious." Xuande was shocked and said, "The military advisor's words are bad. Liu. Although the royal family of the Han Dynasty was a minister; if it was done for this matter, it would be against the Han Dynasty." Kong Ming said, "No. Today, the lower part collapsed, and heroes emerged, and each dominated the other. The talented and virtuous people from all over the world gave up their deaths and served them to climb up the dragon and phoenix and establish fame. Now the lord avoids suspicion and adheres to righteousness, and is afraid of losing the expectations of the people. I hope the lord thinks about it well." Xuande said, "I must not dare to hold my position to the highest position. You can discuss the strategy again." The generals said, "If you only recommend it, everyone will understand it." Kong Ming said, "The lord takes righteousness as the basis for his life, and he has not been willing to claim his honor. Now there is Jingxiang and the two rivers, and you can temporarily become the King of Hanzhong." Xuande said, "Even if you want to respect me as a king, you will not be able to obtain the emperor's clear edict, which is a usurpation." Kong Ming said, "Now you should follow the power, and you should not stick to common sense." Zhang Fei shouted, "People with different surnames want to be kings, let alone the brother is a sect of the Han Dynasty! Don't talk about the Hanzhong King, just call him the emperor, what's wrong?" Xuande scolded, "Don't say too much!" Kong Ming said, "The lord should follow the power change, advance to the Hanzhong King first, and then report to the emperor, it's not too late."

Xuande refused repeatedly, but had to follow the mercy. In the autumn of the 24th year of Jian'an, the altar was built in Mianyang, which was nine miles in radius and distributed in five directions, and each set up flags and ceremonies. The ministers were arranged in order. Xu Jing, Fa Zheng, asked Xuande to ascend to the altar, and after the crown, seal and ribbon, he sat south, and was praised by civil and military officials as King of Hanzhong. His son Liu Chan made him the crown prince. Xu Jing was named the Taifu, Fa Zheng was appointed as the Shangshu Ling; Zhuge Liang was appointed as the military advisor, and the Prime Minister was appointed as the military and national affairs. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong was appointed as the general of the Five Tigers, and Wei Yan was appointed as the prefect of Hanzhong. The rest of them planned to be awarded merits and titles. After Xuande was the King of Hanzhong, he then compiled a letter and sent someone to Xudu. The letter said: "To possess the talents of the ministers, to be the general, to govern the three armies, to be resigned from the outside; to be unable to eliminate the enemy's difficulties, to calm the royal family, and to make your Majesty's holy teachings slow down, and to be in the ***, but not to be happy: only worry about rebelling and being slandered like a head of scattered heads. In the past, Dong Zhuo pretended to be a chaotic rank. Since then, all the evil people were scattered and destroyed. After that, the people and ministers responded with each other, either loyalty and righteousness were fought, or to punish God, and violent rebellion and death, so that the ice gradually disappeared.

However, Cao Cao has not been eliminated for a long time, and has invaded and abusing the power of the state, and is extremely chaotic. In the past, I and General Dong Cheng of the chariot and cavalry, he planned to challenge Cao, but the matter was not in close contact, and he was framed. My father was in trouble and loyalty and righteousness, so I was able to make Cao extremely cruel and rebellious: the emperor killed him and killed him, and the prince was poisoned. Although he was in a alliance, he was determined to strive hard; he was weak and unfair, but he had not worked for many years. He was afraid that he would die and live up to his country's kindness; he was always sad and sighed, and was vigilant at night. Now, his ministers thought: In the past, Yu wrote a letter to Dun of the nine clans to make the bright and bright Yi; according to the emperor, this way was not abolished; the second generation of Zhou Jianshe and established the Ji Ji, which was actually based on the power of Jin and Zheng Jiafu; Emperor Gaozu Longxing respected the prince's sons and promoted the nine kingdoms, and finally killed Zhu Lu to rest in order to maintain the great throne. Now Cao is evil, straightforward, ugly and righteous, and has many disciples, hiding evil intentions, and usurping the thieves have already shown ; Since the royal family is weak and the imperial family has no position, consider the ancient style and follow the pretext of the counterfeiting: the minister is the Grand Sima and the King of Hanzhong. The ministers are from the three provinces: they receive the favor of the country and have no one of them. The Chenli has not achieved success. They should not be able to regain high positions and slander them for serious crimes. When the members of the army see the pressure, they persecute the ministers for righteousness. The bandits retreat but the bandits are not owed, and the country is not over; the ancestral temple is in danger, and the country is about to fall down: the sincere minister is worried about the day when the head is broken. If the power is in harmony and change, the holy dynasty will be calm, even if they go to the water and fire, they will not be able to resign. They will follow the public's conspiracy and receive seals to honor the prestige of the country. They will respect the title and title, and have high favors; they will be depressed and sincere. They will be worried and heavy. They will be afraid and vigilant, as if they are in a valley. They dare not do their best to lose sincerity, reward the six divisions, lead the righteousness of the whole family, respond to the heaven and the time to calm the country. They will be sincere and report to the public."

When Cao Cao came to Xudu, he heard that Xuande had become the King of Hanzhong in Ye County, and was furious and said, "How dare you do this in a weaving mat? I swear to destroy it!" He immediately sent an order, and all the troops that were scattered to the country, and went to the two rivers to fight against the King of Hanzhong. One of them came out to advise, "The king should not work hard on the expedition because of his anger. I have a plan, and I do not need to take a bow or arrow, so that Liu Bei would suffer the disaster in Shu. When his troops were weak, he only needed a general to conquer him and he could succeed." He looked at him and was Sima Yi.

Cao was happy and asked, "What are the great opinions of Zhongda?" Yi said, "Sun Quan from Jiangdong married Liu Bei with his sister, and took the opportunity to steal it back; Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou and refused to return: both of them had hatred. Now, a man who was arguing with a slander will bring a letter to talk about Sun Quan and send troops to Jingzhou. Liu Bei must send troops from both Sichuan to save Jingzhou. At that time, the king raised troops to seize Hanchuan, and Liu Bei could not save each other, and it would be in danger." Cao was very happy and immediately wrote a letter to Man Chong as an envoy, and went to Jiangdong to meet Sun Quan at night.

Quan knew that Man Chong had arrived, so he discussed with his advisers. Zhang Zhaojin said, "Wei and Wu had no grudges. Before, because he heard Zhuge's words, the two families fought for years and suffered from their own lives. Now Man Boning came, he must have the intention of peace and could be accepted by him." Quan followed his words and asked all the strategists to bring Man Chong into the city to meet him. After the ceremony, Quan treated the guest with courtesy. Chong presented the letter to Cao Cao and said, "Wu, Wei has no grudges, but because of Liu Bei, it caused a quarrel. The King of Wei sent me here and asked the general to capture Jingzhou. The King of Wei came here and attacked the Hanchuan army with troops. After defeating Liu, they divided the territory together and vowed not to invade each other." After reading the book, Sun Quan set up a banquet to treat Man Chong and sent him to the museum for rest. Quan discussed with the strategists. Gu Yong said, "Although this is a saying, there is a reason. Now, I can send Man Chong back and date Cao Cao, and fight with him at the same time; while sending people

Only after crossing the river to explore the movements and stillness of the clouds can we do things." Zhuge Jin said, "I heard that Yunchang had arrived in Jingzhou. Liu Bei married his wife and had a son. The second daughter was young and had a daughter. He was still young and had not made a name. I was willing to go to propose to the prince's prince. If Yunchang was willing to agree, he would discuss with Yunchang's plan to defeat Cao Cao together. If Yunchang refused, he would help Cao take Jingzhou." Sun Quan used his plan and sent Man Feng back to Xudu first. However, he sent Zhuge Jin as an envoy and came to Jingzhou. When he entered the city to see Yunchang, he finished his courtesy. Yunchang said, "What is the intention of Ziyu?" Jin said, "I came to build a favor for two families: My lord Wu Hou has a son, who is very smart. When I heard that the general had a daughter, I came to propose marriage. The two families had a good relationship and defeat Cao. This is really a good thing, please think of him." Yunchang was furious and said, "Why is my tiger girl willing to marry a dog son? I don't look at your brother's face and behead your head immediately!

Don't say more!" Then he called the left and right to expel him. Jin fled back to see the Marquis of Wu. He did not dare to hide, so he told the truth. Quan was furious and said, "Why are you so rude!" He called Zhang Zhao and other civil and military officials to discuss the strategy of taking Jingzhou. Bu Zhi said, "Cao Cao wanted to usurp the Han Dynasty for a long time, and he was afraid of Liu Bei. Now he sent an envoy to order Wu to raise troops to swallow Shu, which is a blame for Wu." Quan said, "I also wanted to take Jingzhou for a long time." Zhi said, "Now Cao Ren is now stationing troops in Xiangyang and Fancheng, and there is no danger of the Yangtze River. You can take Jingzhou on a dry road; how can you not

He took it, but ordered the lord to move troops? This is the only way to see his heart. The lord could send envoys to Xudu to see Cao Cao, and ordered Cao Ren to raise an army to seize Jingzhou first on the dry road. Yun Chang would definitely lead the troops from Jingzhou to seize Fancheng. If Yun Chang moved, the lord could send a general to secretly take Jingzhou, and he could get it in one fell swoop." Quan followed his proposal and immediately sent envoys across the river and wrote to Cao Cao to talk about the matter. Cao was overjoyed and sent the envoys to Fancheng to help Cao Ren, who was appointed as a staff officer, and discussed the movement of troops. On the other hand, he sent the lords to Dongwu and ordered the troops to be led by the water to take Jingzhou.

However, the King of Hanzhong ordered Wei Yan to governor the army and guard Dongchuan. He then led all officials back to Chengdu. He sent officials to build palaces and houses. From Chengdu to Baishui, he built more than 400 museums, pavilions and postage, accumulated food and grass, and built many military weapons to advance to the Central Plains. He learned that Cao Cao had joined Dongwu and wanted to take Jingzhou, so he flew to Sichuan. The King of Hanzhong hurriedly asked Kong Ming to discuss. Kong Ming said, "I have already predicted that Cao Cao must have this plan; however, there are many counselors in Wu, so he must teach Cao Cao to order Cao.

Ren had first raised troops." The King of Hanzhong said, "What should I do if I do this?" Kong Ming said, "If you can send a mission to Yunchang, I will first raise an army to take Fancheng, which will make the enemy frightened and naturally collapse." The King of Hanzhong was very happy and sent Sima Fei Shi as an envoy to join Jingzhou with the imperial edict. Yunchang came out of Guo and welcomed the city. After the ceremony of the Gonggong Pavilion, Yunchang asked, "Who is the title of the King of Hanzhong?" The poem said, "The head of the Five Tigers." Yunchang asked, "The Five Tigers are the Five Tigers." Yunchang asked, "The Five Tigers are the title of me?"

General?" The poem said, "Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Ma, Huang." Yun Chang said angrily, "Yide is my brother; Meng Qi has been famous for generations; Zi Long has followed my brother for a long time, and he is my brother: the position is with me, which is okay. Huang Zhong, who dares to be with me? A real man will never be with the old soldiers?" So he refused to accept the seal. The poem smiled and said, "General is a mess. In the past, Xiao He and Cao participated in the great affairs of Emperor Gaozu, and were closest to him, and Han Xin was the deceased general of Chu. However, Xin was the king and lived in the position.

Xiao, Cao has never heard of Xiao, and Cao regards this as a resentment. Although the King of Hanzhong now has the title of five tiger generals, he has the same meaning as a brother to the general and regards it as one. The general is the King of Hanzhong, and the King of Hanzhong is the general. How can he be with everyone? The general receives the kindness of the King of Hanzhong, and he should share the same kindness with the King of Hanzhong, and share the good fortune and good fortune. He should not care about the superiority of the official title. I hope the general will think about it carefully." Yun grew up and bowed again and said, "I am not sure that I am not sure of the teachings, but I will mislead the big things." He immediately accepted the seal.

Fei Shifang issued the king's order, and ordered Yun Chang to lead troops to take Fancheng. Yun Chang took the order, and immediately sent Fu Shiren and Mi Fang as the van, and first led an army to camp outside Jingzhou City. On the other hand, he set up a banquet in the city to entertain Fei Shi. When drinking at the second update, he suddenly reported that the fire broke out in the village outside the city. Yun Chang hurriedly put on his horse and went out to see that it was Fu Shiren and Mi Fang who drank wine. After the tent, the fire was burned. After the camp was shaken, he burned the weapons and food. Yun Chang led his troops to rescue him, and the fire was extinguished until the fourth update. Yun Chang entered the city and summoned Fu Shiren, and Mi Fang scolded him, "I will let you two be the vanguards, but you will not be the vanguards.

He had gone out to the army and burned many military weapons, food and grass, and killed the soldiers of the headquarters. What's the use of such a misunderstanding? "I scolded the order to kill him. Fei Shi said, "Before I went out to the army, I will kill the general first, which will be unfavorable to the army. You can temporarily relieve his crime." Yun Chang was angry and scolded the two, "I will not look at the face of Fei Sima, and I will kill the heads of you and the two!" He then called the warriors to each stick for forty, took off the vanguard seal and ribbon, punished Mi Fang to guard the Nanjun, and Fu Shiren to guard the public security; and said, "If I have any mistakes on the day when I come back to victory, I will punish both crimes!" The two of them looked ashamed and left.

Yun Chang ordered Liao Hua to be the vanguard and Guan Ping as the deputy general. From the general army, Ma Liang and Yi Ji as the staff, they were invaded together. First, Hu Hua's son Hu Ban came to Jingzhou to surrender to Guan Gong. The Duke loved him very much because of his old feelings for saving each other. He ordered him to follow Fei Shi to Sichuan and see the King of Hanzhong receive the title. Fei Shi said goodbye to Guan Gong, took Hu Ban, and returned to Shu.

It is said that Guan Gong sacrificed the big flag of the character "Shuai" on that day and pretended to sleep in the tent. Suddenly, he saw a pig, as big as a cow, with black all over his body. He ran into the tent and bit the cloud's foot. Yun Chang was furious and quickly drew his sword and slashed it. The sound was like a crack of silk. He suddenly realized that it was a dream. He felt the yin and yin pain of the left foot, and he was very suspicious. He called Guan Ping and told him with a dream. Ping replied, "The pig also has a dragon and elephant. The dragon attached to his feet, which meant to rise, so there was no need to be suspicious." Yun Chang

Many officials gathered under the tent and told him to dream. Some people said good luck or some bad luck, but the people said bad luck. Yun Chang said, "I am a real man, I am nearly 60 years old, so why are you sorry to die?" In the right words, Shu sent an order to pass on the Hanzhong king's order, and appointed Yun Chang as the former general, and was appointed as the commander of the nine counties of Jingxiang. Yun Chang received the order, and the officials congratulated him and said, "This shows the auspiciousness of the pig and dragon." So Yun Chang was calm and raised his troops to the Xiangyang Road.

Cao Ren was in the city and suddenly reported that Yun Chang was leading his troops. Ren was shocked and wanted to hold on but could not leave. Deputy General Zhai Yuan said, "Now the King of Wei ordered the general to date Dongwu to take Jingzhou; now he came, he was coming to die, so why avoid it!" The counselor Man Chong advised, "I have always known that Yun Chang was brave and had a plan, so I can't underestimate the enemy. It's better to stick to it, so it's the best strategy." The handsome general Xiahou Cun said, "This is the saying of the scholar. Didn't you hear that the water came and the soil was hidden, and the soldiers were about to come to welcome him? Our army was waiting for labor and could win." Cao Ren followed his words and ordered Man Chong to guard Fancheng and lead his troops to welcome Yun Chang.

Yun Chang knew that Cao's soldiers came, and called Guan Ping and Liao Hua. He was trapped and went there. He was in a plan. He faced the two battles with Cao's soldiers. Liao Hua went out to fight. Zhai Yuan went out to meet. The two generals fought for a while, Hua was defeated and drove away. Zhai Yuan chased after him. Jingzhou soldiers retreated twenty miles the next day. The next day, he came to fight again. Xiahou Cun and Zhai Yuan went out to meet together. Jingzhou soldiers were defeated again, and Jingzhou soldiers were defeated again, and they chased for more than twenty miles. Suddenly, he heard the shouts behind him, and the drums and horns were ringing. Cao Ren urgently ordered the front army to return quickly. Guan Ping behind him, Liao Hua came to kill him, and Cao's soldiers

In a turmoil, Cao Ren knew that he was trapped and rushed to Xiangyang first. He was several miles away from the city, and embroidered the flag in front of him, and Yun Chang stepped on his horse and crossed his sword to block the way. Cao Ren was frightened and dared not fight. He looked at Xiangyang's slanting road. Yun Chang didn't rush. After a moment, Xiahou Cun's army arrived. When he saw Yun Chang, he was furious and fought with Yun Chang. He was killed by Yun Chang. Zhai Yuan left, but was caught by Guan Ping, and killed him with one knife. Taking advantage of the situation, most of Cao's soldiers died in Xiangjiang. Cao Ren retreated to Fancheng.

Yun Chang got Xiangyang and rewarded the army and pacified the people. Wang Fu, a Sima of the army, said, "The general went down to Xiangyang with one drum. Although Cao's soldiers were scared, they were foolish: Now Lu Meng stationed troops in Lukou in the Eastern Wu, and often wanted to annex Jingzhou; if they led their troops to take Jingzhou, what would they do?" Yun Chang said, "I also think of this. You can make adjustments to this matter: go up and down the river, either twenty miles or thirty miles, and choose Gaofu to deal with a beacon tower, and each platform uses fifty troops to guard it; if Wu soldiers cross the river, at night

When there is a fire, smoke will be raised as a call during the day. I will go and attack it in person." Wang Fu said, "Mi Fang and Fu Shiren guard the two passes, and they may not do their best. One more person must be appointed as the governor of Jingzhou." Yun Chang said, "I have sent Pan Jun to guard him in the middle of the army. What are the concerns?" Fu said, "Pan Jun was often jealous and fond of profit in his life, so he could not be appointed. You can send Zhao Lei, the chief of the army to replace him. Zhao Lei was a loyal city and honest person. If you use this person, you will be foolish." Yun Chang said, "I have always known Pan Jun as a man.

Now that the decision is made, there is no need to change it. Zhao Lei’s hand in charge of food and materials is also a serious matter. Don’t be suspicious, just build a beacon tower with me.” Wang Fu said resignation and left. Yun Chang ordered Guan Ping to prepare a ship to cross Xiangjiang River and attack Fancheng.

However, Cao Ren broke two generals and retreated to Fancheng. He said to Man Chong, "If you don't listen to the public, you will be defeated and lost Xiangyang. What should you do?" Chong said, "Yunchang is a tiger general, and you are resourceful. You should not underestimate the enemy, but you should only stick to it." In the right words, people reported that Yunchang came across the river and attacked Fancheng. Ren was shocked, and Chong said, "You should only stick to it." General Lu Chang said excitedly, "I beg for thousands of soldiers and I wish to come to Xiangjiang." Chong advised, "No." Lu Chang said angrily, "According to the words of your civil officials, you should only stick to it. How can you retreat to the enemy?

Haven't you heard the military strategy that: the army can be attacked halfway through the crossing. Now Yunchang's army crosses the Xiangjiang River halfway through the crossing, why not attack it? If the troops are at the city and are about to reach the trench, it will be difficult to resist." Ren immediately had two thousand soldiers and ordered Lu Chang to go out to Fancheng to fight. Lu Chang came to the mouth of the river and saw that Yunchang was embroidered in front of him and Yunchang came out of the horse and sword. Lu Chang wanted to come to meet him, but the troops behind saw Yunchang's mighty and left without fighting. Lu Chang couldn't stop him. Yunchang came over and Cao's soldiers were defeated, and the horse and infantry army broke most of them, and the defeated army rushed into Fancheng. Cao Ren urgently sent someone to ask for it.

The mission was to Chang'an at night and presented the book to Cao Cao, saying, "The clouds have broken through Xiangyang, and now they are surrounded by Fancheng very urgently. I hope to send a general to rescue him." Cao Cao pointed to a person in the squad and said, "You can go and lift the siege of Fancheng." The man came out and looked at him. The crowd looked at him and said, "I asked a general to be a vanguard and lead his troops together." Cao asked everyone again and said, "Who dares to be a vanguard?" One person came out excitedly and said, "I am willing to do my best to capture Guan, and offer it to his command." Cao Guan was very happy.
