The real model from tiger to cat! So what is the level of the real Cao in history?
Cao Zhen's bravery can be seen in a small matter.
Once, Cao Zhen and Cao Cao were hunting together and met a tiger.
As he rode away, he aimed his bow and arrow at the tiger, which fell down.
Hit the target accurately in the process of galloping, which is a trick to capture talents from the Great Wall. The Central Plains countries are mainly engaged in farming, and few of them are so good at riding and shooting, so Cao Zhen's force is superb! What are the main achievements of Cao Zhen?
Hanzhong Poliu
In the 22nd year of Jian 'an (AD 2 17), Liu Bei, who had occupied Yizhou and Jingzhou, began to invade the Hanzhong area of Cao Wei in a planned way.
After nearly a year of stalemate, Liu Bei launched a surprise attack and killed Xia, and achieved a landmark victory. As a result, Cao Wei's army was leaderless and Hanzhong fell at any time, while Cao Cao's reinforcements were held back in Chang 'an for three months and failed to support them in time.
It was at this critical juncture that Cao Zhen was worshipped as the Shoujiang of Shu and entrusted with an important task.
Liu Bei sent troops mainly in two ways. Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Wu Lan and thomas lee attacked Wudu County from the left and led the main force to attack Hanzhong.
According to Zhang Fei's strategy, the soldiers on the left are divided into two ways. Ulan and Simi sat in the middle of the road to lure the enemy, while Zhang Fei and Ma Chao bypassed the defensive rear solitary mountain.
At that time, Wei Jun was defending Cao Hong and Cao Xiu. Because of Cao Xiu's excellent insight into Zhang Fei's bravado, he took the initiative to defeat Ulan and Simi, so that Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were in danger of being cut off from the back road and had to take the initiative to retreat, and the Left Army was scrapped.
It is worth mentioning that in this battle, Cao Zhen also led a partial division to attack Wulanhetong and won. Therefore, Ye Zhen was promoted from a partial general to a backbone general.
Nanji Wu
In the year of Huang San (222), Cao Pibing was divided into three roads, and ordered Cao Zhen, General, General Zhang He and General to lead Zhongjun to attack Jiangling County, the southern county.
Cao Zhen first defeated the general Sun Sheng, and then Xia Houshang repelled Zhu Gejin, who came to reinforce, captured Jiangling Zhongzhou and surrounded Jiangling City.
Cao Zhen ordered soldiers to pile up heaped-up mountains, dig tunnels, set up towers at the edge of the city and shoot arrows into the city.
However, Zhu Ran, commander-in-chief of Wu Jun, commanded properly and once breached two camps.
After the army besieged the city for half a year, Wu Jun's grain valley was almost exhausted, and the city was in sight, but the epidemic was serious, and Sun Quan sent troops to pay tribute again.
Wei Jun, retreat.
After that, Cao Zhen became a general in Zhong Jun and joined it!
Defeat Zhuge
In the second year of Taihe (228), Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, made a northern expedition, and Nan 'an, Tianshui and Anding all surrendered to Shu Han.
Cao Cao went to Chang 'an personally, and made Cao Zhen governor of Tan. Cao Zhen sent Zhang Hechang, the left general, into the rescue and defeated Ma Su in the battle of Jieting. At the same time, Cao Zhen defeated some divisions of Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi in Jiguan Valley, and reinforcements entered Longyou. Zhuge Liang retreated to avoid being attacked.
At first, the groom Yang Tiao and other hijacked officials were stationed in the city of the moon to respond to Zhuge Liang, and Cao Zhen's army was stable. Yang Tiao said to him, "The general has come in person, and I am willing to surrender as soon as possible." Then he tied himself up and surrendered.
So they successively recovered three counties.
After the war, Cao Zhen thought Zhuge Liang would attack Chencang, so he ordered generals Zhao Hao and Wang Sheng to defend Chencang and build the city.
The following spring, Zhuge Liang really attacked Chen Cang. Zhao Hao was ready for the battle, but Zhuge Liang failed to defeat it. At the same time, the army of Shu and Han lacked food, which led Zhuge Liang to return in vain.
The food city in Cao Zhen has the first batch of 2,900 households due to the increase of work.
This shows that Cao is indeed a talented general.
Due to folklore and other factors, Zhuge Liang's failure in the Northern Expedition was attributed to Sima Yi.
