Three kingdoms. WEI Shu. Zhang Gaochuan

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Gao responded to the recruitment of the Yellow Turban Army and served as a military sima under Han Fu. After Han Fu's defeat, he led his troops to Yuan Shao, who made him a lieutenant to defend against Gongsun Zhan. After Gongsun Zhan was defeated, Zhang Guo was promoted to the post of General of Ningguo Zhonglang due to his military merits.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao held each other at Guandu, and Yuan Shao sent the general Chun Yuqiong and others to supervise the transportation of grain and grass to Wuchao, and Cao Cao personally led the troops to attack quickly. Zhang Gao advised Yuan Shao that Cao Gong's soldiers were elite and that they would definitely defeat Chun Yuqiong and others. Once Chun Yuqiong fails, then the general's great cause will be destroyed, and he should quickly lead the troops to rescue. Guo Tu said: Zhang Gao's strategy is not right, it is better to attack Cao Cao's base camp, Cao Cao is bound to return to the rescue, this is called not saving himself. Zhang Gao said: Cao Gong's camp is firm and cannot be broken. If Chun Yu Qiong and others are captured, we will all be taken prisoners.

Yuan Shao only sent a light cavalry to reinforce Chun Yuqiong, and attacking Cao Cao's base camp with heavy troops could not be breached. Cao Cao did indeed break Chun Yu Qiong, and Yuan Shao's entire army collapsed. Guo Tu was very ashamed, and further framed Zhang Gao, saying: Zhang Gao hoped that our army would lose the battle as soon as possible, so he was not inferior. Zhang Gao was frightened and defected to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was very happy to get Zhang Guo, and said to him: In the past, Wu Zixu did not realize early and fell into a desperate situation, how can it be compared to Wei Zi abandoning Yin Yi and Han Xin leaving Chu and returning to Han? Zhang Gao was appointed as a general, made the Marquis of Duting, handed over to his troops, and had his retinue attack on Yecheng and occupy yecheng.

He also accompanied Cao Cao to the Bohai Sea to attack Yuan Tan, and alone led an army to surround Yongnu and defeat the enemy. With Cao Cao's conquest of Liucheng, Zhang Gao and Zhang Liao both served as pioneers, and Zhang Gao was promoted to the rank of general of Pingdi for his merits. He also led troops to conquer Dong Lai County, and crusaded against Guan Cheng. He also fought against Chen Lan, Mei Cheng, and others with Zhang Liao and others, and won a great victory. He again accompanied Cao Cao to Weinan and defeated Ma Chao and Han Sui. The siege stabilized, forcing Yang Qiu to surrender.

　　Together with Xiahou Yuan, they conquered Liang Xing and the Rebels around Wudu, and once again attacked Ma Chao's forces and pacified Song Jian's areas.

Cao Cao also left Zhang Gao and Xiahou Yuan and others to defend Hanzhong against Liu Bei's attack. Zhang Gao led another army to force the surrender of Padang and Brazil counties, and emigrated the people of the two counties to Hanzhong. He marched further to the city of Tangqu, but was stopped by Liu Bei's general Zhang Fei and retreated to Southern Zheng, where Cao Cao appointed Zhang Guo as the general of Langkou. Liu Beitun was stationed in Yangpingguan, and Zhang Gaotun was stationed in Guangshi.

Liu Bei divided more than 10,000 elite soldiers into ten parts and quickly launched an attack at night. Zhang Gao led his soldiers to fight to the death, but Liu Bei failed to break through Guangshi. Later, Liu Bei burned the capital in zouma valley, Xiahou Yuan went to fight the fire, and encountered Liu Bei on the fork in the road, the two armies met each other, and Xiahou Yuan was killed. Zhang Gao returned to Yangping Pass.

At that time, having just lost the marshal, the Wei army was afraid that Liu Bei would take the opportunity to attack, and the whole army panicked, and Sima Guohuai of Xiahou Yuan ordered the whole army to say: General Zhang is a famous general of the country, and Liu Bei is also afraid. At present, the situation is urgent, and General Zhang cannot calm the hearts and minds of the army. He pushed Zhang Gao as the commander-in-chief.

Zhang Gao came forward to dispatch troops to arrange the position, and all the generals obeyed Zhang Gao's orders, and the military heart was settled. Cao Cao was in Chang'an and sent envoys to give Zhang Guojie. Cao Cao then personally went to Hanzhong, Liu Bei defended the mountain and did not dare to fight, so Cao Cao led all the armies in Hanzhong. Zhang Gao returned to garrison Chen Cang.

Cao Pi ascended the throne and appointed Zhang Gao as the general of zuo, and the marquis of Jinfeng. The edict ordered Zhang Guo and Cao Zhen to conquer the Lushui Hu and Eastern Qiang people in the Anding area. He also summoned Zhang Gao and Cao Zhen to Xuchang Palace to worship, and sent Zhang Gao south to attack Jiangxia with Xiahou Shang.

Zhang Gao alone led several armies across the Yangtze River and captured Tunwu on Baili Zhou. Emperor Ming of Wei took the throne and sent Zhang Gao to the southern Tun army of Jingzhou to attack Sun Quan's general Liu A and others with Sima Xuan, and chased them to Qikou, where the two armies engaged in battle and destroyed Liu A.

Zhuge Liang led his army out of Qishan, and Emperor Ming gave Zhang Gao the post of special advance, and sent him to be the governor of all the roads and horses to block Zhuge Liang's subordinates Ma Mo at the street pavilion. Ma Mo was surrounded by the south mountain and did not go down the mountain to occupy the city. Zhang Guo cut off his way to get water. Launch an attack and defeat The Horse. In response to the rebellion of the counties of Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding, Zhang Gao led his troops to defeat the rebels and pacified these places.

　　Emperor Ming issued an edict saying: The thief Zhuge Liang called the rabble-rousers of Ba and Shu known as the master of the Nine Tigers and Tigers. The general puts on his armor and carries sharp weapons to a place of peace, and he will reward you for your great deeds, and increase the number of households in the 1,000 households, along with the previous 4,300 households.

When Sima Xuanwang was in Jingzhou to control the water army and planned to enter the Yangtze River along the Yangtze River to fight against Eastern Wu, Emperor Ming ordered Zhang Gao to lead guanzhong's troops to obey Sima Xuanwang's dispatches. After arriving in Jingzhou, in the winter, the shallow water and large boats could not travel, so they were stationed in Fangcheng.

Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain again and launched a sudden attack on Chen Cang. Emperor Ming sent a stagecoach to summon Zhang Guo to the capital, and Emperor Ming personally went to Henan City, set up a banquet to send Zhang Gao off, and sent 30,000 soldiers from the north and south, as well as Wu Wei and Hu Ben to guard Zhang Gao, so he asked Zhang Gao: When the general arrives there, Zhuge Liang is afraid that he has already occupied Chen Cang! Zhang Gao knew that Zhuge Liang's lone army had no grain and grass and could not attack for a long time, and replied: Zhuge Liang had already withdrawn before the subject had arrived there. According to calculations, Zhuge Liang's troops could not support ten days of grain and grass.

Zhang Gao marched day and night to reach Southern Zheng, and Zhuge Liang retreated. The edict ordered Zhang Gao to return to the capital and worship him as a general on the Western Che Riders. Zhang Gao understood the law of change of things, was good at setting up camps and arranging battle plans according to the terrain, there was no situation worse than he expected, from Zhuge Liang to Shuzhong all the generals were afraid of him, Zhang Gao, although he was a military general, liked to communicate with Confucians, once recommended his fellow villagers, saying that he was noble in his study and behavior, and Emperor Ming issued an edict saying: In the past, he was a general, played the Five Classics Doctor, was in the army, and sang Yashi to throw pots as a play. Now the general commands the army on the outside and maintains the etiquette of the imperial court inside.
