At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, the masses rose up together, and the princes divided their territories. Taizu (Cao Cao) built martial arts, and shi zhiliang was the first of the five sons (Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Zhang Guo, and Xu Huang). Zhang Gao spent his life in the East and the West, abstaining from horses and horses, and his meritorious name was not under Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, but he sacrificed his body in battle, and Ma Ge wrapped his body, which was a loyal martyr for a while.
1. Conquer the four sides
Zhang Gaozi Junqi ( 张郃字俊乂) is a native of Renqiu , Hebei. At the end of the Han Dynasty, he was recruited to recruit the Yellow Turban, as a military sima and belonged to Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, returned to Yuan Shao with soldiers, and attacked Gongsun Zhan of Youzhou, whose merits were many, and moved to the general of the State of Ning.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao resisted Guandu, and Zhang Guo, knowing that Cao Cao wanted to lead an elite attack on Wuchao Chunyu Qiong, offered Yuan Shao a plan to aid Wuchao, but was blocked by the strategist Guo Tu, and Yuan Shao was defeated, and Guo Tu framed Zhang Hao for being unkind, and Zhang Gao was suspicious and fearful, and returned to Cao Cao with Gao Lan.
Cao Cao was very pleased with Zhang Guo, and compared with his son, he went to Yin and Han Xin to return to Han, and paid homage to the general and the Marquis of Fengduting. Zhang Gao pulled up the city of Yicheng, attacked bohai, and besieged Yongnu, and all directions were broken, from Liucheng to Wuhuan, and Zhang Liaoju was the military front, and the general Pingdi was moved to pingdi with merit. Zheng Donglai and Guan Cheng, and Zhang Liao against Chen Lan and Mei Cheng, where they were in Yuanke. From Broken Ma Chao and Han Sui to Weinan, besieged Anding and lowered Yang Qiu. With Xiahou Yuan galloping on the right side of Guan, asking Liang Xing, Breaking Ma Chao, and Ping Song Jian, it can be described as Khan Ma Xuanlao.
Cao Cao marched on Zhang Lu, with Zhang Guo's forces as the vanguard, and attacked the thieves Liang Xing and Dou Mao the Prince of Qi. Zhang Lu surrendered, and Xia Houyuan stayed in Hanzhong to reject Liu Bei.
Zhang Gaobei oversaw the various armies of Padang and Bashi, marched into Gongqu, defeated Zhang Fei, led the army back to Southern Zheng, and promoted general Kou. Liu Bei led more than 10,000 troops, divided into ten parts, attacked Zhang Guo, and Jing could not be conquered. Xiahou Yuan was attacked by Liu Bei, and the short soldiers took the blade and beheaded Huang Zhong. At that time, Cao Ying's newly lost marshal was afraid that the enemy would take advantage of it, and all three armies lost their hearts.
Sima Guohuai ordered the crowd to know: "General Zhang, a famous general of the state, Liu Bei is worried, and non-General Zhang cannot be safe." "So I pushed it to be the main general. Zhang Gaole's troops were placed in battle, and all the generals were tempered, and the hearts of the people were determined. Cao Cao was in Chang'an and sent envoys to Zhang Guo for a holiday. And Cao Cao abandoned Hanzhong, and Zhang Gao returned to Tun Chen Cang.

From the general Cao Zhen to conquest stability, pacify Qiang and Hu, and the general Xiahou Shang attacked Jiangling and moved to the right general. When the Wei Ming emperor Cao Rui ascended the throne, Zhang Gao and Sima Yi attacked the Wu general Liu Ayu at Jiangling, pursued him to Qikou, and destroyed Liu A.
Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, out of Qishan, Zhang Gaojia's special advance, the governor of the army to resist the Shu army at the street pavilion, the great destruction of Ma Ji, the recovery of Nan'an, Tianshui, and An' peace, for the Wei Ming Emperor's edict to praise, Yiyi thousand households, and a total of 4,300 households.
Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and a sharp attack on Chen Cang, Emperor Ming of Wei summoned Zhang Gao to the Beijing Division to ask for a plan, Zhang Gao expected the enemy to take the lead, and knew that the Shu army had no food and could not attack for a long time. and Zhang Gao to Southern Zheng, Zhuge Liang had retired, and as expected, he was promoted to the rank of general of the Western Che Riders.
3. The Shroud of Ma Ge
In the fifth year of Taihe (231), Zhuge Liang returned to Qishan, Zhang Gao oversaw the generals to the west to Luoyang, Liang also baoqi mountain, the commander Sima Yi ordered Zhang Gao to lead troops to pursue, Zhang Gao said: The siege of the city by the art of war will open a way out, and the division should not be contained. Sima Yi did not listen, and Zhang Hao helplessly led his troops to pursue, to the wooden gate, and was killed by the middle arrow.
Emperor Cao Rui of Wei, citing Zhang Gao's conquests before and after, made his fourth son a Marquis of Liehou and his youngest son the Marquis of Guannei.
Zhang Guo was the only surviving general of the five sons, Liu A was defeated in Jiangling, and the street pavilion broke ma ji, and the prestige was shocked by Wu Shu. In order to use troops to change skillfully, recognize variables, and be good at handling the camp, the terrain of the battle is not as good as planning. Phi Jian is stubborn and sharp, and he is afraid of zhuge liang. Although a warrior general loves music Confucians, Ya Ge throws pots, and has the wind of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Zhang Gao's image in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is much the same as that of Zhengshi, the martial arts are equal to Zhang Liao, and the Guandu Battle is 40 to 50 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. However, he lost to Zhao Yun in thirty rounds, lost to Ma Chao in twenty rounds, and then became more courageous in the Vietnam War, and competed with Zhang Fei for fifty rounds without winning or losing. By the time of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Zhang Guozhi was already the champion of the three armies, and the generals of the Shu army had no one to be taken.
Zhuge Liang used a plan to trap Zhang Gao and Dai Ling, and Zhang Gao danced his horse and gun among the ten thousand armies, clashing back and forth, and doubling his bravery, as if entering no man's land, rescuing Dai Ling and breaking through. Zhuge Liang said: "When I heard Zhang Fei fighting Zhang Gao, everyone was terrified, and when I saw it today, I knew that he was brave." If this person is left behind, it will be a harm to Shuzhong, and I shall get rid of it. Therefore, when retreating, Wei Yan and Guan Xing lured the enemy into the depths, and shot Zhang Gao with arrows at Mumen ambush.
