Chapter 95 Chapter 94 Zhuge Liang Rides the Snow to Defeat the Qiang Soldiers Sima Yi Keri Captures Meng Da

But Guo Huai said that Cao Zhen said: "The people of the Western Qiang have paid tribute year after year since the time of the Taizu, and Emperor Wen has also given them kindness. Now we can take advantage of the dangerous obstacles and send people straight into the Qiang from the small road to ask for help. Xu Yihe Dear, the Qiang people will rise up to attack Shu.But I hit it with big soldiers, attacking head to tail, wouldn't it be a big victory?He really followed it, and sent people to Qiang to write a book at night. But it is said that the king of Xiqiang, Cheriji, has paid tribute every year since the time of Cao Cao; he has a man of letters and a soldier: Wen is the prime minister of Yadan, and Wu is the marshal of Yueji.At that time, the envoy of Wei came to the country with Jin Zhu and the letter, and first came to see Prime Minister Yadan; he gave a gift, expressing the intention of asking for help.Yadan introduced the king and presented a letter to him.Cherrigi read the book and discussed with everyone.Yadan said: "I have been in contact with Wei Guosu. Now the governor of Cao is asking for help, and he promises to make a marriage, which is reasonable and agreeable."According to his words, Cheriji ordered Yadan and Marshal Yueji to raise 150,000 Qiang soldiers, all of whom were accustomed to using bows and crossbows, spears, knives, thorns, flying hammers, etc.; Food, weapons and objects: either camels or mules and horses were used to drive carts, known as iron chariot soldiers.The two resigned from the king and led the troops directly to Xiping Pass.Han Zhen, the Shu general guarding the pass, urgently sent someone to report to Kong Ming.

When Kongming heard the news, he asked the generals, "Who dares to retreat the Qiang soldiers?"Zhang Bao and Guan Xing responded, "Someone is willing to go."Kong Ming said: "You two are going to go, but you are not familiar with the way."Then he called Ma Dai and said: You have known the nature of the Qiang people, and you have lived there for a long time, so you can be a guide.So he raised 50,000 elite soldiers and went with Xing and Bao.Xing, Bao and others led their troops away.After traveling for several days, I met Qiang soldiers early.When Guan Xing first led more than a hundred riders up the mountain slope to look, he saw Qiang soldiers connecting iron carts end to end and forming villages everywhere; weapons were lined up all over the carts, just like a city.After seeing it for a long time, there was no strategy to defeat the enemy, so I went back to the village to discuss with Zhang Bao and Ma Dai.Dai said: "Let's wait until the next day to see the battle, look at the reality, and make another plan."The next morning, the troops were divided into three groups: Guan Xing was in the middle, Zhang Bao was on the left, Ma Dai was on the right, and the three groups of soldiers advanced together.In the formation of the Qiang soldiers, Marshal Yueji bravely stepped forward with a hammer in his hand, a carved bow hung from his waist, and a leaping horse.Guan Xing recruited soldiers from three routes to advance.Suddenly, Qiang soldiers were seen on both sides, and iron carts were released from the center, like a tidal wave, and bows and crossbows were fired all at once.The Shu army was defeated: Ma Dai and Zhang Bao retreated first; Guan Xing's army was surrounded by Qiang soldiers and went straight to the northwest corner.

Xing is in the heart of Gai, rushing from left to right, unable to escape; surrounded by iron carts, it is like a city.Shu soldiers, you and I cannot look after each other.Looking for a way in the Xingwang Valley.Looking at the night, I saw a cluster of soap flags, swarming: a Qiang general, holding a hammer in his hand, shouted: "Young general, don't go!"I am Marshal Yueji!Guan Xing hurried to the front and rode his horse with the whip as hard as he could. He was encountering a broken stream, so he had to return to his horse to fight Yueji.At the end of Xing, he was timid, unable to resist the enemy, and fled looking into the stream; when Yueji rushed to him, he hit him with a hammer, Xing flashed in a hurry, and hit the horse's crotch.The horse looked at the stream and fell, and fell into the water.Suddenly there was a sound, and Yue Ji, with his men and horses behind him, fell into the water for no reason.When Xingjiu struggled to watch in the water, he saw a general on the shore killing the Qiang soldiers.Xing picked up the knife and waited to cut the more auspicious, Ji jumped into the water and left.Guan Xing got the Yueji horse, led it to the shore, adjusted the saddle and bridle, and mounted the horse with a sword.I saw that the general was still chasing and killing the Qiang soldiers in front.Xingzi thought that this man saved my life, and I should meet him, so he came here on horseback.Looking closer, I saw a general in the clouds and mist, with a face like a jujube, eyebrows like lying silkworms, a green robe and a golden armor, carrying a dragon sword, riding a red rabbit horse, with a beautiful beard in his hand: he clearly recognized his father Guan Gong.Xing was shocked.Suddenly, Guan Gong pointed to the southeast with his hand and said, "my son can quickly look at this road."I will protect you and return to the stronghold.Words are over.Guan Xing hurried to the southeast.In the middle of the night, suddenly a Biao army arrived: it was Zhang Baoye, and asked Xing, "Have you ever seen your second uncle?"Xing said, "how do you know it?"Bao said: "I was chased by the iron chariot army, and suddenly I saw my uncle coming down from the sky, frightened the Qiang soldiers back, and said: You go to save my son from this road."So lead the army to find you.Guan Xing also talked about the past, and they all complained about their differences.The two returned to the village together.Ma Dai went on to say to the two of them, "This army has no way to retreat."I will guard the gate, and you two will report to the prime minister to break it with a plan.So Xing and Bao came to see Kongming in the starry night to talk about it.

Kongming ordered Zhao Yun and Wei Yan to lead an army to ambush each. Then he ordered 30,000 troops and brought Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi, Guan Xing, and Zhang Bao to Ma Dai Village to rest in person.The next day, I went to Gaofu to watch, and saw that the iron cars were constantly connected, and people and horses were in a hurry.Kongming said: "This is not difficult to break."Call Ma Dai and Zhang Yi to pay so and so.When the two of them left, they called Jiang Wei and said, "Does Boyue know how to break a car?"Wei said: "The Qiang people only rely on their courage, how do they know a clever plan?"Kongming said with a smile, "you know my heart."Today, the clouds are dense, the wind is urgent, and the sky is about to snow, so I can do something about it.Then he ordered Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to lead the troops to ambush and go there; Jiang Wei was ordered to lead the troops to fight: but if the iron chariot soldiers came, they would leave after retreating;

It was the end of December, and it really snowed heavily.Jiang Wei led the army out, and Yueji led the iron chariot soldiers.Jiang Weishen backed away.The Qiang soldiers rushed to the front of the stronghold, and Jiang Wei left from behind the stronghold.The Qiang soldiers went to the outside of the village to watch, and heard the sound of drums and zithers inside the village. The walls were empty and banners were erected, and they rushed to return the better luck.Yueji was suspicious and did not dare to advance lightly.Prime Minister Yadan said: "This is Zhuge Liang's trick, just to set up a false suspicion."It can be attacked.Yueji led his troops to the front of the stronghold, but he saw Kongming getting on the chariot with his qin, led his horse into the stronghold, looked behind and left.The Qiang soldiers rushed into the Zhaizhai gate and drove straight across the mountain pass. They saw the cart turning faintly into the forest.Yadan called Yueji and said: "Although there is an ambush for these soldiers, they are not to be feared."So he led soldiers to chase after him.I also saw Jiang Wei's soldiers running in the snow.Yueji was furious and urged his troops to chase after him.The mountain road is covered with snow, and it is flat at first glance.In the middle of rushing, it was reported that Shu soldiers came out from behind the mountain.Yadan said: "Even if there is such a small ambush, why not be afraid!"Just urge the soldiers and horses to move forward.Suddenly there was a sound, like a landslide, and all the Qiang soldiers fell into the pit; the iron cart behind them was moving fast, and it was difficult to stop, and they rushed in and trampled on each other.When the rear soldiers were about to return in a hurry, Guan Xing on the left and Zhang Bao on the right, the two armies rushed out, firing ten thousand crossbows; Jiang Wei, Ma Dai, and Zhang Yi's three soldiers from behind came again.The iron chariot soldiers were in chaos.Marshal Yueji fled looking into the valley behind him, just in time for Guan Xing; when he joined his horse, Xing raised his knife and shouted loudly, hacking him to death under the horse.Prime Minister Yadan was captured alive by Ma Dai long ago and sent to Dazhai.The Qiang soldiers fled in all directions.When Kong Ming raised his account, Ma Dai charged Yadan.Kongming told the warrior to remove his bondage, gave wine to calm the shock, and comforted him with good words.Yadan deeply felt his virtue.Kongming said: "My lord is the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Now he ordered me to hunt down the thieves. How can you help the rebellion?"I let you go back now, and said to your lord: My country and you are neighbors, and we will always be in good alliance. Don't listen to the words of rebels.Then he returned all the Qiang soldiers, chariots, horses and equipment he had obtained to Yadan, and sent them all back to the country.All thank you and leave.Kongming led the three armies to Qishan Dazhai overnight, and ordered Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to lead the army first;

But it was said that Cao Zhen had been watching the news of the Qiang people for several days, and suddenly an ambush army came to report: "Shu soldiers pulled out the stronghold to pack up and set off."Guo Huai said with great joy, "it's because of the Qiang soldiers' attack, so you retreat."So he chased him in two ways.In front of the Shu soldiers, the soldiers of Wei were chasing after them.When the vanguard Cao Zunzheng was rushing, suddenly the sound of drums was loud, and a Biao army flashed out: the leading general was Wei Yanye, and shouted: "Don't leave the rebels!"Cao Zun was shocked, and he slapped his horse to confront him; when he couldn't get along, Wei Yan chopped him off his horse.The deputy vanguard Zhu Zan led his troops to chase, suddenly a Biao army flashed out: the leading general is Zhao Yunye.Zhu Zan was caught off guard and was stabbed to death by Yun.Cao Zhen and Guo Huai saw that the vanguards of the two groups had lost, and wanted to withdraw their troops. The shouts from behind were loud, and the drums and horns blared: Guan Xing and Zhang Bao rushed out, surrounded Cao Zhen and Guo Huai, and killed them for a while.Cao and Guo led the defeated soldiers to escape.The soldiers of Shu were completely victorious, chased them all the way to the Weishui River, and captured Weizhai.Cao Zhen lost two pioneers and was very sad; he had to write this book to apply for the dynasty and beg for reinforcements.

However, it is said that Cao Rui, the ruler of Wei, set up a dynasty, and his close ministers said: Cao Zhen, the governor, was defeated several times by Shu, lost two vanguards, and lost countless Qiang soldiers. The situation is very urgent.I am asking for help today, and I ask your Majesty to adjudicate.Rui was startled, and hurriedly asked about the strategy of withdrawing from the army.Hua Xin said: "It must be your Majesty's personal conquest, the meeting of the princes, and everyone's life, before they can retreat."Otherwise, Chang'an will be lost and Guanzhong will be in danger.Taifu Zhongyou said: "Anyone who is a general knows better than others and can control others."Sun Tzu said: If you know your enemy and know yourself, you will be victorious in every battle.Although Cao Zhen has used troops for a long time, he is not Zhuge Liang's opponent.The minister recommends one person with the goodness of the whole family, and he can retreat from the Shu army.Whether the holy will is unknown?Rui said: "Qing is an old minister; there are any wise men who can retreat from Shu soldiers and call them early to share our worries."Zhong Yao said: "Xiang Zhe, Zhuge Liang wanted to promote his master to invade the country, but he was afraid of this person, so he spread rumors, making His Majesty suspect him and leave, so he dared to drive forward."If it is reused now, the light will retreat by itself.Rui asked who.Yao said: "Hussar General Sima Yi is also."Rui sighed and said, "I also regret this matter."Where is Jin Zhongda now?You said, "I heard that Zhongda is living idle in Wancheng."Rui Shi issued an imperial edict, sent envoys to hold festivals, restored Sima Yi's official position, and added him as the governor of Pingxi. He set off from Nanyang to go to Chang'an.Rui Yujia's personal conquest made Sima Yi come to meet there on a certain day.Mission Xingye went to Wancheng.

But he said that Kong Ming had won many victories since he left the army, and he was very happy. He was gathering in Qishan stronghold to discuss matters, and suddenly reported that Li Feng, the son of Li Yanling, guarding Yong'an Palace, came to see him.Kongming only said that Soochow had violated the border, and he was very suspicious, so he called him into the account and asked him.Feng said, "I'm here to announce the good news."Kongming said, "what's your joy?"Feng said: In the past, Meng Da surrendered to Wei, but he had no choice but to do so.At that time, Cao Pi loved his talent, and he bestowed it with a horse and gold beads. He used to go in and out with the chariot, and was appointed as a regular servant of Sanqi.After Pi's death, Cao Rui came to the throne, and many people in the court were jealous. Meng Da was restless day and night.Today, I am tired of my confidants, and I come to see my father with a book, and tell the prime minister sooner or later: the former had this intention when he went down to Sichuan on the fifth road; The army and horses will take Luoyang directly, and the prime minister will take Chang'an, and the two capitals will be settled.Today, someone attracted people and submitted letters several times.Kong Ming was overjoyed and rewarded Li Feng and others generously.Suddenly, Xi Zuoren reported that Cao Rui, the Lord of Wei, was fortunate enough to drive to Chang'an; on the other hand, he ordered Sima Yi to reinstate his post and be added as the governor of Pingxi. He raised his own soldiers and gathered in Chang'an.Kong Ming was shocked.Joining the army, Ma Di said: "How can you measure Cao Rui!"If you come to Chang'an, you can capture him right away.Why was the prime minister surprised?Kong Ming said: "Am I afraid of Cao Ruiye?"The only patient was Sima Yi.Now Meng Da wants to make a big deal, if he meets Sima Yi, the matter will fail.Dafei Sima Yi's opponent will be captured.If Meng Da died, the Central Plains would not be easy to come by.Ma Su said: "Why don't you rush to revise the book and order Meng Da to defend it?"Kong Ming followed him, and repaired the book to order the comer to return Meng Da in the starry night.

But he said that Meng Da was in Xincheng, and he only hoped for the return from his confidantes.One day, a confidant came and presented Kong Ming's letter.Meng Da unpacks it and regards it.The book briefly says: I am very pleased to have a book recently, which is enough to know the heart of loyalty and righteousness, and not to forget the past.If a major event is achieved, then the Gonghan Dynasty Zhongxing's first hero will also be.However, it is extremely appropriate to be cautious and not to trust others easily.Hate it!Quit it!I recently heard that Cao Rui ordered Sima Yi to raise troops from Wan and Luo.It must be fully prepared, and it should not be regarded as idle.

After Meng Da read it, he said with a smile: "People say that Kong Ming has a lot of heart, so we can know it now by looking at this matter."It's a book to make confidantes come to answer Kongming.Kong Ming called into the account.The person submitted a letter.Kong Ming unpacked it and regarded it.The book says: Appropriate to inherit the teachings of Jun, how dare you be less lazy?There is no need to be afraid of stealing the story of Sima Yi: Wancheng is about 800 miles away from Luoyang, and it is 1,200 miles from Xincheng.If Sima Yi hears about Da's actions, he must play to the Lord Wei: In the past one month, Da's city has been consolidated, and all the generals and the three armies are in a dangerous place.When Sima Yi came, why should he be afraid?The prime minister is lenient, but only listens to the good news.

After Kongming read it, he threw the book on the ground and said, "Meng Da will die at the hands of Sima Yi!"Ma Di asked: "What is the prime minister?"Kong Ming said: "The Art of War says: attack those who are not prepared, and take them by surprise."How could it be expected in January?Cao Rui appointed Sima Yi, and every bandit was wiped out, so why wait to hear about it?If you know that Meng Da rebelled, the soldiers will arrive in less than ten days, how can An Neng be caught off guard?All the generals are convinced.Kong Ming urgently ordered the visitor to report back: If you don't raise an issue, don't teach your colleagues to know it: if you know it, you will lose.He bid farewell and went back to Xincheng. But it is said that Sima Yi lived idle in Wancheng, and when he heard that Wei soldiers were defeated by Shu, he looked up to the sky and sighed.Yi's eldest son, Sima Shi, was named Ziyuan; his second son, Sima Zhao, was named Zishang: the two have always had great ambitions and are proficient in military art.That day, the waiter stood by and saw Yi sighing, so he asked, "what's the father sighing?"Yi said: "How do you know the big things?"Master Sima said, "Could it be possible to lament that Lord Wei doesn't care?"Sima Zhao laughed and said, "Sooner or later, I will come to summon my father."Before I finished speaking, I suddenly reported that the angel had arrived.After hearing the imperial edict, Yi dispatched all the troops and horses in Wancheng.Suddenly, he reported to Shen Yi's family, the prefect of Jincheng, that he had a secret matter and asked to see him.Yi called into the secret room to ask.The man explained in detail what Meng Da wanted to do.In addition, Li Fu, Meng Da's confidant, and his nephew Deng Xian came forward with the petition.After hearing this, Sima Yi put his hand on the forehead and said: This is the great blessing of the emperor who is equal to the sky!Zhuge Liang's army was in Qishan, killing everyone inside and outside. Today, I have no choice but to be in Chang'an. If I don't need me for a day or night, Meng Da will stop the two capitals with one move!This thief must conspire with Zhuge Liang: I will break it first, Zhuge Liang will definitely be disappointed, and he will retreat.The eldest son, Sima Shi, said: "Father, you can write a form to apply for the Son of Heaven."Yi said: "If you wait for the imperial decree, it will take a month to go back and forth, and nothing will happen."It was ordered to teach people and horses to set off, and they had to travel for two days a day.Liang Ji went first, and Yi followed.After walking for two days, an army turned out from the hillside. It was Xu Huang, the right general, who got off his horse and saw Yi.Yi said in a low voice, "Now that Meng Da rebelled, I'm going to catch him."Huang said: "Someone is willing to be a pioneer."Yi was overjoyed and joined forces.Xu Huang is in the front, Yi is in the middle army, and the second son is behind.After another two days, the former army sentry horse caught Meng Da's confidant, found Kongming's letter, and came to see Sima Yi.Yi said, "I won't kill you."You start from the beginning.He had no choice but to tell the story of Kongming and Mengda's reciprocation one by one.After reading Kong Ming's reply, Yi was shocked and said: "Everyone who is capable in the world sees the same thing."My plane was first seen through by Kong Ming.Fortunately, the Son of Heaven was blessed to receive this news: Meng Da is now incapable of doing anything.Then the starry night urged the army to move forward. But he said that Meng Da was in Xincheng, and he made an appointment with Shen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng, and Shen Dan, the prefect of Shangyong, to raise an incident recently.Dan and Yi pretended to promise that they would train the army and horses every day, and wait for the Wei soldiers to arrive, and they would respond internally; but they told Meng Da that the army, food and grass were not complete, so they dared not make an appointment to start an incident.There is no doubt about it.Suddenly it was reported that Liang Ji, who joined the army, had arrived, and Meng Da welcomed him into the city.According to the general order of Sima Yi, the general said: "The governor of Sima, under the edict of the emperor, raised all the armies to retreat the soldiers of Shu."The prefect can gather the army and horses of the headquarters to wait for dispatch.Da asked, "When will the governor leave?"Ji said: "At this time, I will leave Wancheng and go to Chang'an."Da Anxi said: "My great event has been accomplished!"So he held a banquet for Liang Ji, sent him out of the city, and reported to Shen Dan and Shen Yi that he would raise an event tomorrow, put on the banner of the Han Dynasty, and send out all the troops and horses to take Luoyang.Suddenly, it was reported that the dust outside the city was soaring into the sky, and the soldiers came from nowhere.Meng Da looked at it from the city, and saw a Biao army, under the banner of the right general Xu Huang, galloping down the city.Da was shocked and hurriedly pulled up the suspension bridge.Xu Huang sat down on his horse and couldn't hold it back. He went straight to the trench and shouted: "Meng Da, the traitor: surrender early!"Da was furious, and hurriedly opened his bow and shot it, hitting Xu Huang's forehead, and General Wei rescued him.Arrows shot down from the city, and the Wei soldiers retreated.Meng Da was just about to open the door to chase, and the sun was covered with banners all around, and Sima Yi's soldiers arrived.Da Yangtian sighed and said: "It's not as expected by Kongming!"So shut the door and stick to it. But it is said that Xu Huang was shot in the forehead by Meng Da. The army rescued him in the village, took the arrow and ordered the doctor to treat him. He died that night at the age of fifty-nine.Sima Yi ordered the coffin to be returned to Luoyang for burial.The next day, Meng Da climbed the city and looked around, only to see Wei soldiers surrounded by iron buckets.Da Xing sat uneasy, undecided in surprise and doubt, and suddenly saw two soldiers coming from outside, with big letters Shen Dan and Shen Yi on the flag.Meng Da only said that the rescue army had arrived, so he hurriedly led his troops to open the city gate and fight out.Dan and Yi yelled, "Don't leave the rebels!"Die early!When Da saw the incident, he turned his horse to look at the city and left. Arrows shot down from the city.Li Fu and Deng Xian yelled at the city, saying: We have dedicated the city!Da took the road and left, but Shen Dan came.The master was sleepy and was caught off guard. Shen Dan shot him under the horse and took his head.The rest of the army surrendered.Li Fu and Deng Xian opened the city gate to welcome Sima Yi into the city.After the labor of the people was completed, people were sent to know Cao Rui, the Lord of Wei.Rui was overjoyed and taught Meng Da to go to Luoyang city to show the public; added Shen Dan and Shen Yi to the official positions, and followed Sima Yi to conquer; ordered Li Fu and Deng Xian to guard Xincheng and Shangyong. But it is said that Sima Yi led his troops to the village outside Chang'an City.Yi went into the city to see Lord Wei.Rui said with great joy: I didn't understand for a while, and I made a mistake in the countermeasures, and I regret it too much!Today's rebellion is not under the control of Qing and others, and the two capitals will cease.Yizuo said: "The minister heard that Shenyi had secretly complained against his feelings, and wanted to show his Majesty, but he was afraid of delays in going back and forth, so he left at night without waiting for the imperial decree."If it is to be played and heard, it will be Zhuge Liang's plan.After that, I will send Kong Ming back to Meng Dami's letter.After reading it, Rui said with great joy, "Qing's knowledge is better than that of Sun and Wu!"Give a pair of golden axes and axes, and when you encounter important confidential matters, you don't need to hear about them, and you can do things cheaply.He ordered Sima Yi to leave the pass and break through Shu.Yi Zou said: "I will give you a general who can be a pioneer."Rui said: "Who is your honor?"Yi said: "The right general, Zhang He, can take up this post."Rui smiled and said, "I just want to use it."So he ordered Zhang Yun to be the vanguard in the front, and followed Sima Yi from Chang'an to defeat the Shu soldiers.It is exactly: If you have a counselor who can use his wisdom, he also asks a strong general to help him.It is unknown how the outcome will be, let's see the breakdown below.
