Zhang He is a famous general in Hebei. Although his force is not as good as that of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, as a commander, he is definitely one of the best among Yuan Shao's army in terms of leading troops in battle.

Historically, Zhang He was one of the five good generals under Cao Cao. He used his troops skillfully, was good at forming camps, and was good at assessing the situation and making good use of the terrain.

When Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought for Hanzhong, Cao Cao ordered Zhang He to guard Hanzhong as Xia Houyuan's deputy general, and fought a fierce battle with Huang Zhong at Dingjun Mountain.

At that time, Huang Zhong followed Fazheng's plan and killed Xiahou Yuan. The commander was killed in the battle. Cao's army should have been defeated, but it was precisely because of Zhang He's presence that he stabilized the position in time.

Although Cao Cao's army was eventually captured by Huang Zhong in Hanzhong, Zhang He saved most of Cao Cao's troops and did not injure Cao's army.

Later, when Liu Bei heard that Xia Houyuan was beheaded, he sighed: If you want to kill, just kill Zhang He. What's the use of killing Xia Houyuan!

This shows that Zhang He's talent is even higher than Xia Houyuan's.

After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang made several Northern Expeditions. In the first few times, Wei State fought Zhuge Liang with Zhang He as its general.

The famous Zhuge Liang in history beheaded Ma Su with tears, thanks to Zhang He.

At that time, Ma Su was stationed close to the dangerous Nanshan Mountain and did not go down the mountain to occupy the city. Zhang He cut off his access to water, then launched an attack and defeated Ma Su.

It is precisely because Zhang He is unparalleled in his use of military equipment, understands changes in tactics, is good at setting up camps and deploying strategies and tactics according to the terrain, and there are no unexpected situations that he cannot foresee, so all the generals of Shu starting from Zhuge Liang regard him as a formidable enemy.

Although Zhang He did not have much combat experience as a good general in history at this time, his fighting style has already been formed.

Under the leadership of Zhang He, the Jizhou Army's combat effectiveness increased greatly, and they were often elusive and surrounded by various ambushes, making it difficult for Zhao Yun's army to guard against them.

The two sides fought many times in Iwa River, with each winning and losing, but they were always in a stalemate. Neither side could completely defeat the other, so they had to temporarily cease fighting.

While Zhao Yun and Zhang He were fighting in Jizhou, Liu Feng was busy attacking Qi, Yuan Shao was attacking Sizhou Henei County, and Cao Cao was preparing to join forces with Liu Biao to attack Yangzhou.

In addition, the other princes are not idle either. They all want to take advantage of the chaos in the world and attack each other to find a piece of land suitable for development.

Among them, Lu Bu of Bingzhou and Ma Teng of Liangzhou wanted to control the Sili area in their own hands because they were close to Sizhou.

Lu Bu was originally from Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, Bingzhou. He had grown tall and powerful since he was a child, with extraordinary strength.

Because the Qiang people invaded Jiuyuan County when he was a child, Lu Bu, who was only ten years old at the time, snatched a long sword from the Qiang people and drove back nearly a hundred Qiang cavalry.

From then on, Lu Bu became famous in Bingzhou.

When he was a teenager, Lu Bu was appreciated by the governor of Wuyuan County for his bravery and served in the county.

Later, Ding Yuan became the governor of Bingzhou. After hearing about Lu Bu's deeds, he recruited him as chief secretary and adopted Lu Bu as his adopted son. He was very close to him.

Until he entered the capital from the table and used a red rabbit horse to lure Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan, and brought the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to join his own army, Lu Bu had a high prestige in Bingzhou.

Later, when Dong Zhuo was attacked by a coalition of princes, he followed Li Ru's suggestion and moved west to Chang'an. As a result, he was overtaken by a coalition led by Liu Feng, Cao Cao and others, and Dong Zhuo was also killed by Liu Feng.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Lu Bu fled back to Bingzhou with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

Relying on the prestige accumulated in the past and the powerful combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, Lu Bu easily conquered the counties of Bingzhou and established himself as the shepherd of Bingzhou.

Soon after Lu Bu took control of Bingzhou, Chen Gong approached Lu Bu and expressed his willingness to help Lu Bu Chengju in his career.

In fact, Chen Gong admired Cao Cao very much before he decided to assist Lu Bu.

Especially when Dong Zhuo brought chaos to the government, Cao Cao dared to go to Dong Zhuo's house to assassinate him alone. This incident made Chen Gong see Cao Cao's courage and fearless spirit of sacrificing his life for the world.

Therefore, Cao Cao escaped from Luoyang and was captured in Zhongmu County. Chen Gong happened to be the magistrate of Zhongmu County at the time, so he released Cao Cao privately and escaped with Cao Cao.

But later, Cao Cao accidentally killed Lu Boshe's family and said,"I would rather teach me to betray the people of the world than teach the people of the world to betray me." Chen Gong felt that Cao Cao was not the hero who was willing to show up for the common people as he thought..

Therefore, Chen Gong was extremely disappointed with Cao Cao and finally joined Lu Bu's army.

Compared to Cao Cao, Lu Bu was more obedient and more dependent on Chen Gong.

So Chen Gongjian suggested to Lu Bu:"Now that the world is in chaos, if Feng Xian prefers to stay in Bingzhou and be peaceful, he will be defeated by other princes in the future. In order to protect yourself and not be bullied by others, you must have enough money. strength and territory.

Since the Sili area is connected to Bingzhou, and Hulao Pass is dangerous to defend, Fengxian should lead his troops south to attack Hedong County in the Sili area and compete for territory with Yuan Shao, who is attacking Sizhou."

At this time. Lu Bu, because he did not have Diao Chan to accompany him all day long, was still very proud and wanted to find a place in the troubled times.

Therefore, he followed Chen Gong's suggestion and led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to march to the east of Hedong.

As for Ma Teng of Liangzhou, as a descendant of Ma Yuan, the famous general Fubo of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he has always wanted to revive the Ma family of Xiliang and become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty just like Ma Yuan.

At this time, the Emperor of Han Dynasty was dead, but the capital Luoyang was still controlled by Li Jue and Guo Si, Dong Zhuo's remaining party, so Ma Teng decided to attack Sizhou and attack Li Jue and Guo Si.

So Ma Teng took General Pang De as the vanguard and led the Xiliang cavalry eastward to attack Youfufeng County in the Sili area.

After Dong Zhuo was killed, the remaining ministers in the court, at the suggestion of Situ Wangyun, prepared to summon the Yulin Army to kill all the remaining soldiers in Liangzhou. Even Liangzhou people might be killed.

So in order to protect himself, Jia Xu took the initiative to find Li Jue and Guo Bang and asked them to gather the remaining Liangzhou soldiers to counterattack Luoyang.

The reason why the Liangzhou army scattered and fled was mainly because of the strength of the coalition of princes and the fact that there was no leader after Dong Zhuo's death, but their own strength did not weaken much.

Therefore, Li Jue and Guo Si easily led their troops to defeat Yu Lin's army and entered Luoyang, killed Wang Yun and took control of Sizhou.

Now Yuan Shao leads Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Ju Shou and an army of 50,000 to attack Hanoi County, Lu Bu leads Chen Gong and Bingzhou Langqi and tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops to attack Hedong County, and Ma Teng leads Pang De and tens of thousands of Xiliang troops to attack Youfufeng. county.

Three princes attacked the three counties of Sizhou at the same time. If Li Jue and Guo Si divided their forces to resist, their troops would not be able to stop the three princes.

Even if they fight hard, the final result is that Li Jue and Guo Si are defeated, and Sizhou is divided among three princes.
