Zhang Liao fought many wars in his life, the most famous of which was the battle between Cao Wei and Wu Dong. After this war, Zhang Liao became famous in World War I, and since then, he has made a name for himself in the history of ancient wars.
In the 20th year of Jian 'an (2 15), Sun Quan sent troops to attack Zhang Liao's headquarters in Hefei. After that, Cao Cao transferred some of his troops to Zhang Xizheng. In the face of hundreds of Wu Dongbing, Zhang Liao and Li Dian only have more than 7,000 troops, and they can't carry Wu Dong's offensive at all. At this time, Zhang Liao showed the strategic vision that a military strategist should have. He believed that Wu Dongyuan's expedition was bound to be short of troops, and he had to take the lead in launching an attack to attack the enemy's morale before Wu Dong's army gained a foothold and besieged the city on all sides.
Zhang Liao was advancing eight hundred chosen men and personally led them to kill Wu Dongjun at dawn. Zhang Liao took the lead in killing Sun Quan's boss's camp all the way, and then led all the soldiers to break through. After the first breakthrough, Zhang Liao found that most people were trapped in Wu Dong's army, so he quickly reined in to meet the soldiers who had not yet broken through. Wu Dong's sergeants were frightened when they saw this scene, and there was no resistance. They asked Zhang Liao to save their people, which is the romance of a story-telling Zhao Zilong.
The Battle of Hefei is a rare battle in the history of China. Historians speculate that in the process of Zhang Liao's breakthrough, Chen Wu, a famous Soochow player, was beheaded. Of course, Zhang Liao's victory over Chen Wu was not a military victory. It is more likely that Chen Wu was unprepared in advance and died in the army.
After the war in Hefei, Sun Quan lost his famous soldier, his morale was low, and he didn't want to fight again, so he had to withdraw his troops a few days later.
The famous romantic writer commented on Zhang A, saying, "A is a famous Wei, and the battle of Jieting is the real A master". Zhang Bao, a veteran general in Cao Wei Group, entered the historical stage earlier in the troubled times at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At first, he joined the army to suppress the yellow turban insurrectionary army uprising. After several changes of ownership, he was completely attached to Cao Cao. Zhang can be said to have won many battles. He fought Cao Cao in Hebei, cooperated with Zhang Liao to pacify Huainan, and destroyed Liangzhou with Xia Group. Later, he followed Cao Cao to capture Hanzhong. Such a brilliant resume should be praised by future generations throughout his life. In the second year of Taihe (228), the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang continued the Northern Expedition in Shu Han, and the Shu army went smoothly. The military and civilians in Tianshui County, Nan 'an County and Anding County collectively surrendered to Shu Han.
