When Meng Zhixiang heard about Dong Zhang's attack, he sent Pan Rensi, the commander of the cavalry capital, to lead 3,000 troops to Hanzhou for reconnaissance. Dong Zhang led his army into Xichuan, broke through Baiyanglin Town, and captured the defender Wu Hongli, creating a great momentum.

Meng Zhixiang was very worried. Zhao Jiliang said: "Dong Zhang is a brave man without kindness, and the soldiers are not really attached to him. If he sticks to the city, it will be difficult to conquer. If we fight with him in the field, it will be easy to capture him. Now, he is not

It is beneficial to you to defend the nest well. When Dong Zhang uses troops, he puts his best troops in the vanguard. You use weak troops to lure him and use strong troops to wait for him. Although there will be small setbacks at the beginning, you will definitely achieve a great victory in the end. Dong Zhang is known for his

He is famous for his might and power, but now that he has raised troops and suddenly arrived, people are afraid. If you go to fight in person, you will definitely strengthen the fighting spirit of the soldiers."

Zhao Tingyin also agreed with Zhao Jiliang's words and said: "Dong Zhang is rash and has no strategy. He is bound to fail in raising his troops. I will capture him for you." Meng Zhixiang immediately appointed Zhao Tingyin as the commander of the camp, horse and infantry, and led 30,000 people to resist Dong Zhang.

At this time, Dong Zhang's letter to raise troops was sent to Chengdu. In his letter, he spread rumors that Zhao Jiliang, Zhao Tingyin and he had conspired together and summoned him to attack Xichuan. Meng Zhixiang handed the letter to Zhao Tingyin, but Zhao Tingyin did not read it at all and threw it to the ground.

He said: "It's just a countermeasure. I want you to kill Deputy Envoy Jiedu and me." He said goodbye to Meng Zhixiang and set off.

Soon, Dong Zhang occupied Hanzhou. Meng Zhixiang got the news and left Zhao Jiliang and Gao Jingrou to guard Chengdu. They personally led 8,000 soldiers and horses to Hanzhou. When they arrived at Mimo Town, Zhao Tingyin sent troops to the north of the town.

As the sky dawned, Zhao Tingyin set up his battle formation at Jiqiao. Zhang Gongduo, the military envoy of Yisheng Dingyuan Duzhi, set up his battle formation behind him. Dong Zhang saw the massive troops in Xichuan and retreated to the foot of Wuhou Temple. Dong Zhang tent

The corporal shouted: "The sun is at noon and we are exposed to the scorching sun. What do you want to do?" Dong Zhang then mounted his horse and continued to march.

The two armies had just fought. Zhang Shoujin, the commander of Dongchuan's right wing, immediately surrendered to Meng Zhixiang and said: "Dong Zhang's troops are all here. He has no successor troops, so he should attack quickly." Meng Zhixiang then supervised the battle, and left Meng Zhixiang.
