Has sued poor to the bone, is thinking of the horse tears. The opening chapter still reminds everyone to pay attention to protection when traveling. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many scholars, and even if they did not encounter war, there were many people who hid in the city, they buried their heads in the classics, and their research experience was often praised by the world. This article will talk about Zhang Chao, the word and.

Zhang Chao was a member of the Jizhou Hejian Mào people, and there were also some hejian people in the late Han Dynasty, and the list was made: Xing Yong yóng, Zhang Guo, Tian Yin, Liu Hong, Zhang Chao, Liu He, Liu Shu. Among them, the most well-known is naturally the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, and Zhang Gao is also quite famous in later generations as Cao Weisu. And Zhang Chao and Zhang Mi's brother are not the same person, that is Yanzhou Dongping person.

In the Later Han Shu Wenyuan Biography, Zhang Chao was a descendant of Zhang Liang, while the Later Han Shu Zhang Hao Biography records that Zhang Liang was Zhang Hao's sixth ancestor, but Zhang Hao was a person from Yizhou and was far away from Zhang Chao. Zhang Min, the Sikong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was also a hejian man, and he did not know whether there was any relationship between Zhang Chao and this fellow countryman.

Zhang Chao participated in the conquest of the Yellow Turban Thieves during the reign of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, and he served as a Sima of the Other Department under the Cheqi general Zhu Juan. Zhang Chao is also mentioned in the Later Han Shu Zhu Biography, and in the course of the confrontation with Han Zhong, Han Zhong retreated to the city and conveyed the intention of surrender, Zhang Chao, Xu Xuanqiú, and Qin Jie had originally planned to accept Han Zhong's surrender, but Zhu Juan opposed it, believing that the surrender of the Yellow Turban Thief would play a bad example, giving the thieves room for maneuver and creating more rebellions.

"If you accept it now, you will open up your will even more, and if you are profitable, you will go to war, if you are blunt, you will surrender, and if you indulge in the enemy's long kou, you will not be a good plan" - "Later Han Shu Zhu Yan Biography"

Therefore, Zhu Juan ordered the siege of Han Zhong, but could not be attacked for a long time, Zhu Juan climbed tushan to observe and reflected on his shortcomings, he told Zhang Chao that he understood what the reason was, Han Zhong and others lost hope of surrender, so they could only fight to the death, as many as more than 100,000 enemy troops in the Jedi erupted combat strength can not be underestimated. Zhu Juan immediately changed his operational thinking, he prepared to withdraw the soldiers and horses surrounding the city, luring Han Zhong to take the initiative to break through, this luring the enemy was very successful, not only defeated Han Zhong, but also forced Han Zhong and his men to surrender after chasing for tens of miles.
