Resurrection of Loss
After this large battle all there was left to do was converse and celebrate a well deserved victory over the Wei. Liu Bei knew this battles
victory was truely only a bit of luck. If Huang Zhong had not come this battle clearly would have been lost to the overpowering forces Zhang He had control over. " Troops, Feast and celebrate . Tomorrow we ride to Cheng Du! It is time for a well needed rest with out familes!" , not a moment after the King of Shu had announced that the crowd of soldiers erupted into roars and cheers. It was easily shown, a small kingdom had no less spirit then the others. After hours of celebration the party like festival had finally died down and the forces began to sleep the night away. As they did this, they had no idea of what Zhang He did. He did retreat that was a well seen fact at this time, but he retreated for a reason. That reason was for more
troops. If he could withhold only a few thousand more his troops could easily take care of all four of the now generals. While his forces rode he
even had a messenger far ahead to deliver this most important message. Around the middle of the long night they finally stopped to rest. Zhang He had no true idea if he was being followed. The quick retreat gave him no
time to post any spies or scouts there. All he knew was when he got his
force he would have no problem charging through the Shu country towards Cheng Du. This put him to an easy sleep. Slowly as he slept his messenger arrived in a camp off in the distance. Over maybe thirteen miles distance. With little problems he got in to Cao Cao's court to deliver his message. As he did so Cao Cao had no dissagreement with this plan. If it gave him a larger oppertunity to destroy one more opponent he had no problems with it. As the night passed the messenger took off again still tired and hungry. It seemed like an eternity before the darkness of the land was taken over by the bright sun's rays. While the sun did so the drunk forces of Shu finally
awoke staggering to get into a standing and organized position. The commanders came out looking refreshed. It was accustom for officers to keep sobber while on the open plains, which could cause battle. The reason of
which was to keep a clear mind of attack or defense if needed. The day
passed by with soldiers following the four commanders either on foot or
horse. More than half of their force was horseback though. At this time
they had almost 11,000 troops following behind. Liu Bei took control of over 5000 of them when Huang appeared in the nights attack. Now the rest were evenly split among Ma Cheng, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong. Finally, with a hard days travel the large force finally came into view of their capital, Cheng Du. When they entered the gates the forces were well recognized by their homeland. Cheers of honor and happiness fell from the crowds around them. The Fortified city itself held almost 6000 honor guards on the walls. Now all together the great force added up to near 17,000. Mainly the best thing about that was they still had another Jiang Wei with his 3000 troops and Zhang Fei with 7000 troops outside the gates on the plains in battle. Through the day the cheers stayed around. The troops which finally returned were granted a days pass for family time. This pleased every single soldier
in the army. Also, this gave Liu Bei time to meet with his wife at the time, Sun Shang Xiang. Well as you probably know she was the daughter of Sun Jian the founder of Wu. When she married Liu Bei it made a bond between the two at this time. With the two countries aligned they formed a better
chance of destroying the great forces of Wei.
Two days later Liu Bei was resting in his throne hall with his wife.
As they talked suddenly a man came running through the doors. He bows quickly and began supporting a quick message, " Lord Liu Bei, I am Zhang
Fei's imperial Messenger. He told me to send word that he is in retreat this was. He also wished to add that Zhang He accompanied by Xu Huang are charging him and Jiang Wei forcing them in this direction with near 5000 in all with troops. With that he wants you to reinforce him on the way at the
pass. If you do he can retreat and lure the unsuspecting enemy into a
trap." With little more said Liu Bei stood walking quickly to the doors
running once out. Seeing that his final oath brother was in danger he needed to act quickly. He would send Ma Chao out with 4000 soldiers to cut them off in the pass. The thing Zhang Fei's message lacked was the troop number Wei had. That was an important issue missed. As Ma Chao ran followed by Ma Cheng along with near 8000 troops. Now he thought about it and knew he needed the Ma cousins together in case. It would be a stupid decision to
send a small force and be cut off in Wei forces. He could not bear a
message of Ma Chao's death. With the two out of the castle and onto the field he felt more secure about his forces. At this time he had none at all to spare. After checking after the gates had been closed he found that at this time majorly Huang Zhong and him had a full force of around 9000. That would hold a fort if needed. Now all he could really do is wait and hope that Ma Chao and Ma Cheng could succeed in their mission. If they lost, it left an open path for the Wei to charge and attack. If they succeeded, the
Wei would take too much of a loss to attack in any time near. Too many thoughts now clouded his thought. The day went on as he secured the gates and the walls. Time went by quickly as it turned to night. Liu Bei went to
rest the night away... it was all he could do.
Off in the distance now Ma Chao and Ma Cheng had made a good bit of
miles forward on the field . They neared the pass. At this time their forces were gaining enough nerve to fight again. Like it was said the Shu may not have had the men to come true with their dream of futuring into the Han Dynasty again but they most definatly had the spirit and courage. Those
were mainly two things anyone needed. Although troops were always well
needed. Along with stratagy.
** Chap. 5 coming shortly. Quick part to it below !**
As Ma Chao fell back off his horse he looked up towards the sky . The
arrow in his chest was buried deep within his armor. His chances of surviving were low. They had never thought the Wei had this many troops , not even half. The Shu would have no chance... the Shu Pass was beaten. Ma
Chao had fallen. At this time they had no different thought then he was probably dead. Doubt had fallen in the lines of the Army... even the most words in all of Shu could no change the hearts of the beaten warriors now.
