preface:
In the history of the Three Kingdoms, there have been many heroes, whether it is the five sons and generals under Cao Cao, or the five tiger generals under Liu Bei, all of which have bloomed their own styles, and the most admirable of them is Zhao Yun, and when Liu Bei was alive, Zhao Yun did not have many opportunities to show in the leadership.
With the death of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang took charge of the military and political power of the Shu state, and Zhao Yun also got the opportunity, but at this time, Zhao Yun was no longer young, but he was still loyal and conscientious in helping Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. Today I want to talk about the events in Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, and friends who know the Three Kingdoms all know Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, and the probability of the first Northern Expedition is the greatest, but it ended in the loss of the street pavilion by Ma Chen, which is sad and lamentable.
Zhao Yun
Zhao Yun led the way
With the advent of the "Table of Teachers", Zhuge Liang officially decided to start cutting Wei, and the First Northern Expedition officially began.
During the first Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang made a lot of plans, and finally decided to divide the army into two roads, one way to let Zhao Yun lead, as a bait to attract the main force of the Cao army, which was also the first time that Zhao Yun led independently for most of his life, and the other way chose to attack Long right! In this battle, although Zhao Yun was defeated, he did not waste his trip, but he also killed a great general of the Wei Army!
From Hanzhong to Guanzhong, there are a total of 4 roads to walk, namely Xiegu Road, Chen Cang Road, Luogu Road and Meridian Road, of which the closest is Xiegu Road.
Battle of the Street Kiosk
The Meridian Road, that is, Wei Yan proposed a strange plan, but it was not adopted by the cautious Zhuge Liang, and many people said that if Zhuge Liang was adopted, it was likely to have succeeded a long time ago, and I will not say more here.
Zhuge Liang let Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi lead the troops to attack from the Xiegu Road and capture jigu, which had the potential to go straight into Chang'an, in fact, it was just a show, but Cao Rui did not dare to gamble, plus the three counties of Long right were reversed, Cao Rui was even more afraid, so he ordered Cao Zhen to go to block Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Liang was leading the main army to attack Long Right at this time!
Horse Mo Lost Street Kiosk
However, then the battlefield suddenly changed, Ma Mo was proud and arrogant and did not listen to Zhuge Liang's deployment, and insisted on going his own way, causing the street pavilion to be lost, and the Wei army directly entered Longyou, which also marked that Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition was basically declared bankrupt. And Zhao Yun's side itself was not enough troops, and after Cao Zhen's army came, it was gradually unable to resist and could only retreat.
This was Zhao Yun's last battle, and the result was not perfect, but when retreating, the other troops were all in a mess, only Zhao Yun's soldiers were very neat, and Zhuge Liang wanted to give Zhao Yun a reward of silk cloth!
Zhao Yun said, everyone has failed, how can I ask for a reward? Keep these things, and reward them for fighting next winter. Zhuge Liang was very happy to hear this.
When Zhao Yun retreated, in order to prevent the Wei army from going deeper, he destroyed more than a hundred miles of the boardwalk, this road is the Xiegu Road to Hanzhong, although Zhao Yun's approach is not to be blamed, but in the later Northern Expedition, it affected Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang very much wanted to send troops from the Xiegu Road, but now he had to take chen Cang Road and get out of the pass, but Zhao Yun also made a great contribution.
Indirect pit death to Cao Zhen
Zhao Yun died after the First Northern Expedition, and on the side of the State of Wei, Cao Zhen became the Great Sima and he felt that the State of Shu had invaded several times and should take the initiative to attack the State of Shu!
Zhao Yun damaged the Xiegu Road for a while, but Cao Zhen didn't know! His plan was to advance from the Xiegu Dao to the Shu Kingdom, but Chen Qun felt that the Xiegu Dao was too dangerous, so Cao Zhen divided his troops to attack Hanzhong!
However, when attacking the Shu kingdom, Cao Zhen was still unwilling, so he still led the troops from the Xiegu Road, because the boardwalk was narrow and coincided with the heavy rain, Cao Zhen spent a full month before and after, only half ahead, and finally under the order of Emperor Wei, Cao Zhen led the troops to evacuate! Because the Shu kingdom has always been full of rain and temperature, Cao Zhen died of illness shortly after his return!
epilogue:
Although Zhao Yun failed during the First Northern Expedition, before dying, he killed Cao Zhen tactically! And Cao Zhen was also the only Wei general who could resist Zhuge Liang, which was different from Sima Yi's strategy of avoidance everywhere!
But this also pits Zhuge Liang from the side, just imagine, if Cao Zhen is alive, he will definitely face Zhuge Liang everywhere, rather than Sima Yi who consumes Zhuge Liang alive like this. Zhao Yun dragged Cao Zhen in Jigu, prompting Zhuge Liang to capture Longyou, and later damaged the boardwalk and killed Cao Zhen, but also planted a thunderbolt for the Northern Expedition, that is, Sima Yi.
