Chapter 73 Chapter Seventy-Second: Zhuge Liang Outwits Cao Aman of Hanzhong and Retreats to Xiegu

But it is said that Xu Huang led the army to cross the Han River, but Wang Ping refused to listen to his remonstrance, and crossed the Han River to set up camp.Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun told Xuande, "Someone and others led their own soldiers to meet Cao Bing."Xuande agreed.The two lead their troops.Zhong said to Yun, "Xu Huang came here bravely, and don't fight the enemy; when the soldiers are exhausted at dusk, you and I can divide our troops and attack in two ways."However, each led an army to occupy the Zhaizha.Xu Huang led his troops to fight from Chenshi until Shenshi, but the Shu soldiers did not move.Shake all the bows and crossbowmen forward, looking at the Shu camp to shoot.Huang Zhong referred to Zhao Yun and said: "If Xu Huang orders the bow and crossbow to shoot, his army will surely retreat; you can take advantage of the time to attack it."Before saying anything, it was reported that Cao Bing's rear team really retreated.So the drums of the Shu camp shook loudly: Huang Zhong led the troops to the left, and Zhao Yun led the troops to the right.After two pincer attacks, Xu Huang was defeated.The soldiers forced their way into the Han River, and countless people died.Huang died in the battle and got rid of it. He returned to the camp and blamed Wang Ping, saying: "You see that our army is in danger, why don't you save it?"Ping said: "If I come to rescue, this stronghold will not be protected."I once advised the public to take a break, but the public refused to listen, which led to this defeat.Huang was furious and wanted to kill Wang Ping.At night, Ping's army set fire to the camp. Cao's soldiers were in chaos, and Xu Huang abandoned the camp and left.Wang Ping crossed the Han River to vote for Zhao Yun, and Yun introduced Xuande.Wang Ping talked about the geography of Han River.Xuande was overjoyed and said: "If all the princes are orphaned, there is no doubt that Hanzhong will be taken."Then he ordered Wang Ping to be the partial general and lead the envoy.

But he said that Xu Huang fled back to see Cao, and that Wang Ping went to surrender Liu Bei instead.In a rage, Cao led the army to seize the gate of Hanshui Village.Fearing that it would be difficult to stand alone, Zhao Yun withdrew to the west of the Han River.The two armies rejected each other across the water.Xuande and Kong Ming came to observe the situation.Kongming saw that there was an earthen mountain in the upper reaches of the Han River, which could hold more than a thousand people; he returned to the camp and called Zhao Yun to pay: You can lead five hundred people, all with drum horns, to lie down under the earthen mountain; either in the middle of the night or at dusk , Just listen to the sound of the sound in my camp: sound the sound of the sound, beat the drum, just don't go out to fight.Zilong was tricked.Kong Ming was peeping secretly on the high mountain.The next day, when Cao Bing came to fight, no one in the Shu camp came out, and no bows and crossbows were fired.Cao Bing returned by himself.When the night was getting deeper, Kong Ming saw that the lights of Cao Ying had just died down, and the soldiers had rested, so he released the horn.Zilong heard it and made the drums and horns sing together.Cao Bing panicked and only suspected of robbing the stronghold.When they left the camp, there was no army.Just before returning to the camp to rest, the trumpets sounded again, the drums and horns sounded again, the shouts shook the ground, and the valley echoed.Cao Bing was restless all night.For three nights in a row, so scared, worried and timid, they pulled out the stronghold and retreated 30 li, and camped in an open place.Kongming said with a smile: "Although Cao Cao knows the art of war, he doesn't know tricks."So Xuande was asked to cross the Han River in person and build a camp with the water on his back.When Xuande asked for advice, Kong Ming said, "It can be so."

When Cao Cao saw Xuande carrying the underwater stronghold, he was puzzled and sent people to fight.Kong Ming approved the decisive battle in Japan.The next day, the two armies will line up in front of Wujie Mountain on the middle road.Cao puts out his horse and stands under the banner of the gate, lays out dragon and phoenix banners in two rows, beats drums and three links, and calls Xuande to answer.Xuande led Liu Feng, Meng Da and other generals from Sichuan to come out.Cao raised his whip and cursed: "Liu Bei: An ungrateful, treasonous thief!"Xuande said: "I am a relative of the great Han Dynasty, and I am ordered to seek thieves."After you killed your mother, you proclaimed yourself a king and usurped the son of heaven, Luanyu, what's the opposite?Furious, he ordered Xu Huang to come out to fight.Liu Feng came out to meet him.During the battle, Xuande entered the battle first.The enemy couldn't shake, so he pulled his horse and left.Cao ordered: If Liu Bei is captured, he will be the master of Xichuan.The army shouted and killed them all.The Shu soldiers fled looking at the Han River and abandoned their camps; horses and weapons were thrown all over the road.Cao Jun fought for it.Call gold to close the army in a hurry.The generals said: "I am waiting to capture Liu Bei. Why did your king withdraw the army?"Cao said: "I saw that the soldiers of Shu set up their camps with the Han River on their backs: one is suspicious; many abandoned horses and weapons: two are suspicious."You can retreat in a hurry and stop taking clothes.Then he ordered: "Whoever takes something indiscriminately will be killed immediately."Quickly retreat.When Cao Bingfang turned his head, the flag of Kongming was raised: the leader of the Xuande Central Army went out, Huang Zhong came to the left, and Zhao Yun came to the right.Cao Bing was defeated and fled.Kong Ming chased after him overnight.Cao sent the army back to Nanzheng.I saw the five-way fire: it turned out that Wei Yan and Zhang Fei had Yan Yan to guard Langzhong on their behalf, and they divided their troops to kill them, and they won Nanzheng first.Worried and startled, I hoped that Yang Pingguan would leave.Xuande's soldiers chased him to Baozhou in Nanzheng.After Anmin was finished, Xuande asked Kongming, "Cao Cao is here, how can he be defeated so quickly?"Kongming said: Cao Cao has been suspicious all his life. Although he can use troops, he will lose more if he is suspicious.I will win with my doubts.Xuande said: "Now that Cao Cao retreats to defend Yangping Pass, its power is already isolated. What will the master do to retreat?"Kongming said: "Liang has settled."So he sent Zhang Fei and Wei Yan to divide their troops to intercept Cao Cao's grain road, and ordered Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun to divide their troops to set fire to the mountain.The generals of the Fourth Route Army each led the officers and soldiers to go.

But he said that Cao Cao retreated to Yangping Pass and ordered the army sentries to investigate.The report said: "Now the soldiers of Shu have blocked all the roads near and far, and set fire to all the places where firewood was cut. I don't know where the soldiers are."When Cao Zheng was in doubt, he reported to Zhang Fei and Wei Yan that they would divide their troops to rob grain.Cao asked, "Who would dare to fight against Zhang Fei?"Xu Chu said: "Someone is willing to go!"Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu to lead a thousand elite soldiers to escort the grain and grass on the Yangping Pass Road.The official Xie Liang went on, saying happily: "If the general hadn't come here, the grain would not have been in Yangping."So he offered the wine and meat in the car to Xu Chu.Chu drank heavily and didn't feel very drunk, so he took advantage of the wine to drive grain carts.The official Xie Liang said: "The sun is already evening. The former land of Baozhou has dangerous mountains and cannot pass."Chu said: I have the courage of ten thousand men, how can I be afraid of others!Riding on the moonlight tonight, it happens to make the grain cart go.Xu Chu took the lead, leading the army forward with his sword and horse.After the second watch, we came to Baozhou Road.Halfway through the journey, suddenly the drums and horns shook the sky in the valley of the mountain, and an army was in charge.The leading general was Zhang Feiye: he rode his horse with his spear straight, and took Xu Chu straight.Chu Wudao came to meet him, but because he was drunk, he couldn't fight against Zhang Fei; after a few rounds of fighting, he was stabbed in the shoulder by Fei's spear, turned over and fell off his horse; the sergeant hurriedly rescued him, retreated and left.Zhang Fei took all the food, grass and vehicles and returned.

But he said that the generals kept Xu Chu and went back to see Cao Cao.Cao ordered the doctors to treat the golden sores, and at the same time personally raised troops to fight the Shu soldiers.Xuande led the army out to meet him.When the two teams faced each other, Xuande ordered Liu Feng to play.Cao scolded and said: "Children who sell shoes: often make fakes resist the enemy!"If I call Huang Xuer to come, your fake son will be a piece of meat!Liu Feng was furious. He raised his spear and rushed to capture Cao Cao.Cao ordered Xu Huang to meet him, but Feng pretended to be defeated and left.Cao led his troops to chase after him. In the Shu barracks, there were sounds of gongs and drums and horns.Fearing that there will be an ambush, he hurriedly tells the army to retreat.Cao Bing trampled on each other, and there were many dead.After rushing back to Yangping Pass, just resting, the Shu soldiers rushed to the city, set fire to the east gate, and shouted at the west gate; set fire to the south gate, and beat drums at the north gate.With great fear, he abandoned the pass and left.Shu soldiers pursued from behind.While Cao was walking, Zhang Fei led a soldier to stop him, Zhao Yun led a soldier to kill him from behind, and Huang Zhong led a soldier from Baozhou to kill him.Fuck big defeat.The generals took the road to protect Cao Cao.Fang fled to the boundary of Xiegu, when dust suddenly rose in front of him, and a soldier arrived.Cao said: "If this army is in ambush, I will give up!"When the soldiers were approaching, it was Cao Zhang, the second son of Cao Cao.

Zhangzi Ziwen is good at riding and shooting;Cao tasted the precepts and said: "You don't study, but you are good at bowing horses. How valuable is the courage of this man?"Zhang said: "A man should learn from Wei Qi and Huo Qubing, make contributions in the desert, drive hundreds of thousands of people, and rule the world; how can he be a doctor?"Cao tried to ask the aspirations of the philosophers.Zhang said: "It's good to be a general."Cao asked: what will happen?Zhang said: Put on the strong and stick to the sharp, ignore the difficulties, take the lead in the soldiers; rewards must be done, and punishments must be believed.fuck lol.In the twenty-three years of Jian'an, Wuhuan rebelled on behalf of the county, and ordered Zhang to lead 50,000 troops to fight for it; before leaving, he said: "Father and son are at home, and monarchs and ministers are responsible for things."The law does not favor favoritism, and you should take a deep abstinence.When Zhang arrived in Daibei, he fought first and went straight to Sangqian, and the north was flat; because he heard that Cao was defeated in Yangping, he came to help the battle.When Cao saw Zhang Zhi, he was overjoyed and said: "I, Huang Xuer, will come and break Liu Bei!"Then he reined in his troops and set up camp at the boundary of Xiegu.Someone reported to Xuande that Cao Zhang had arrived.Xuande asked, "Who dares to fight Cao Zhang?"Liu Feng said: "Someone is willing to go."Meng Da said to go again.Xuande said: "You two go together to see who succeeds."Each led five thousand soldiers to meet: Liu Feng first, Meng Da second.Cao Zhang went out to fight Feng, only three times, Feng was defeated and returned.Meng Da led his troops forward, and Fang wanted to fight, only to see Cao's soldiers were in chaos.It turned out that when the two armies of Ma Chao and Wu Lan came to kill, Cao Bing was alarmed.Meng Da led his troops to attack.Ma Chao's soldiers have been accumulating energy for a long time, and it is overwhelming to show off their might here.Cao Bing was defeated and fled.Cao Zhang met Wu Lan, and the two confronted each other, and Cao Zhang stabbed Wu Lan under the horse with a halberd.Three armies melee.Cao retreated his troops to tie up at the boundary of the inclined valley.

Cao Cao stationed troops for a long time, wanted to enter the army, but was rejected by Ma Chao; wanted to withdraw the troops, but was afraid of being ridiculed by the Shu soldiers: he hesitated in his heart.It is suitable for the official to enter the chicken soup.Seeing the chicken ribs in the bowl, Cao felt deeply.While meditating, Xiahou Dun entered the tent and asked for the night slogan.Cao casually said: tasteless!tasteless!Dun ordered all the officials to call him chicken ribs.Yang Xiu, the master of the march, saw the word "chicken ribs" in the pass, so he taught the accompanying sergeants to pack up and prepare for the return trip.Someone reported to Xiahou Dun.Dun was shocked, so he asked Yang Xiu to come to the tent and ask, "Why do you pack your bags?"Xiu said: "Based on the order tonight, we know that the king of Wei will return his troops in the near future: chicken ribs, there is no meat to eat, but it tastes good to discard them."If you can't win today, if you retreat, you may be laughed at. It's useless here. It's better to return early: the king of Wei will be a teacher in the future.So pack up your luggage first, so as not to panic before leaving.Xiahou Dun said: "Your Majesty really knows the heart of King Wei!"So he also packed up.So all the generals in the stronghold were ready to make plans.That night, Cao Cao was disturbed and couldn't sleep soundly, so he carried a steel ax and walked around the village privately.I saw the sergeants in Xiahoudun's village getting ready to pack.Frightened, he hurried back to his account and called Dun to ask why.Dun said: Yang Dezu, the master, foretells the meaning of the king's return.Cao Cao called Yang Xiu to ask him, but Xiu thought it was tasteless.Cao said angrily, "how dare you make up words to disturb our army's morale!"Drink the knife and axe and push out to chop it, and order the head outside the gate.

It turned out that Yang Xiu was a man who relied on his talents to let go, and he violated Cao Cao's taboo several times: Cao Cao tried to build a garden;No one knows what it means.Xiu said: adding movable type to the door is also wide type.The prime minister thinks the gate of the garden is wide.So build a wall.When the transformation is over, please watch it again.Cao was overjoyed and asked, "Who knows what I mean?"The left and right said: Yang Xiu also.Although Cao Cao is called beautiful, he is very jealous of it.Another day, Saibei sent a box of crisps.Cao himself wrote the three characters of Yihesu on the box and put it on the desk.When he saw it, he took a spoon and shared it with everyone.Cao asked why, and Xiu replied: "There is a book on the box, one mouthful of crisps per person, how dare you disobey the prime minister's order?"Although Cao likes to laugh, he hates it.Fearing that people will murder him secretly, he often distributes it to the left and right: I like to kill people in my dreams; whenever I fall asleep, you should not come near.One day, he slept in the tent and fell to the ground.A close waiter panicked to cover it.Cao jumped up and drew his sword to kill him, and went back to bed to sleep. After a while, he got up, pretending to be surprised, and asked, "Who killed my servant?"Everyone is right.Cao cried bitterly and ordered him to be buried generously.Everyone thinks that Caoguo kills people in a dream; but Xiu knows what it means, and when he was about to be buried, he pointed and sighed: "The prime minister is not in a dream, but the king is in the ear!"Hearing about it makes him worse.Cao Zhi, Cao's third son, loves the talent of Xiu, and often invites Xiu to discuss it all night long.Cao discussed with the public and wanted to establish Zhi as the son of the world.Knowing this, Cao Pi secretly asked Wu Zhi, the chief singer of the court, to enter the inner mansion for discussion. Fearing that someone would perceive it, he hid Wu Zhi in the middle with a big scorpion, saying only that it was in the silk, and loaded it into the mansion.If you know what's going on, come and tell me.Cao ordered people to observe him at the gate of Pifu.Pi hurriedly told Wu Zhi, who said: "Wuyou also: tomorrow I will use a big rice pad to pack the silk and then enter to confuse it."As he said, it was loaded with silk with a big rice pad.The envoy searched the rice paddy and found silk, and returned it to Cao Cao.Cao Cao harmed Cao Pi because of suspicion, and the worse he became.Cao wanted to test the talents of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.One day, everyone was ordered to leave the gate of Yecheng;Cao Pi arrived first.The door officials blocked it, so Pi had to retreat.Zhi Zhi heard about it and asked Yu Xiu.Xiu said: "Your Majesty came out under the order of the king. If anyone stands in the way, he will be killed."True to his words.When it came to the door, the gatekeepers blocked it.Zhi Chi said: "I obey the king's order, who dares to stop me!"Cut it up.So Cao Cao took Zhi Zhi as his ability.Later someone told Cao Cao: This is what Yang Xiuzhi taught.Cao was furious, so he didn't like Zhizhi either.Xiu also tried to answer more than ten questions for Cao Zhi, but Cao Zhi had questions, and Zhi Zhi answered them according to the articles.Every time Cao asked Zhi about military and state affairs, Zhi answered fluently.Worry was very suspicious.Later, Cao Pi bought Zhi left and right secretly, and secretly taught him to sue Cao.When Cao saw it, he was furious and said: How dare you deceive me!At this time, I already have the heart to kill and cultivate: now I will kill him for the crime of confusing the army.Xiu died at the age of thirty-four.There is a poem from later generations that says:

The clever Yang Dezu has inherited the hairpin tassels from generation to generation.The dragon and the snake go away in the pen, and the beauty in the chest is completed.Start the conversation and surprise everyone, and the victory will be the best among the best.The cause of death is talent, not about wanting to retreat. Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu, pretending to be angry with Xia Houdun, and wanted to kill him.The officials excused.Cao Nai reprimanded Xiahou Dun and ordered to march in the next day.The next day, the soldiers went out to the boundary of Xiegu, and the army in front greeted them. The leading general was Wei Yanye.Cao Cao recruited Wei Yan to surrender, and Yan cursed at him.Order Pound to fight.When the two generals were fighting, a fire broke out in Caozhai.It was reported that Ma Chao had robbed the second village of Zhonghou.He drew his sword in his hand and said: "All the generals who retreat will be beheaded!"All will work hard to move forward.Wei Yan pretended to be defeated and left, so Fang's army returned to fight Ma Chao, and immediately stood at Gaofu to watch the battle between the two armies.Suddenly Yi Biaojun bumped into him and shouted: "Wei Yan is here!"Picking up the bow and setting up the arrow, he hit Cao Cao.Fuck turned over and fell off the horse.Yan abandoned the bow and Chuo Dao, and immediately came to kill Cao Cao on the hillside.A general flashed out of the stab and shouted: Don't hurt my lord!It is Pang De who sees it.Germany strives forward, retreats from Wei Yan, and keeps moving forward.Ma Chao has retreated.Cao returned to the village with wounds: Wei Yan shot someone, broke two front teeth, and ordered doctors to treat him urgently.Fang recalled Yang Xiuzhi's words, and then he took the body back for a rich burial, and ordered the class teacher; but he taught Pang De to cut off the heir.He lies in a felt cart, guarded by the left and right Huben troops.Suddenly it was reported that there was fire on both sides of Xiegu Mountain, and the ambush soldiers came.Everyone in Cao Bing was frightened.It's exactly: Tongguan used to be vague, as if Chibi was in danger back then.It is unknown how Cao Cao's life will be, let's see the breakdown below.

① Wei Qi and Huo Qubing, two famous generals in the Western Han Dynasty, both attacked the Xiongnu.
