Chapter 99 The Ninety-eighth Chapter of Chasing the Han Army Wang Shuang was punished and attacked Chencang and Marquis Wu to win the victory

But Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Kongming must come out of Chencang, so Hao Zhao kept it: it is true now."If he enters the bandits from Chencang, it will be very convenient to transport grain.Fortunately, Hao Zhao and Wang Shuang are guards today, and they dare not transport grain from this way.The rest of the trails are difficult to carry.The minister counted that the Shu soldiers had only been able to carry food for one month, and Li was in a hurry to fight.Our army should only defend for a long time.Your Majesty can issue an imperial edict ordering Cao Zhen to stick to the roads and passes and not to fight.It doesn't take a month, the soldiers of Shu go away by themselves.At that time, if you take advantage of the emptiness and attack him, Zhuge Liang can capture him.Rui Xinran said: "Qing Yan has the foresight, why don't you lead an army to attack him?"Yi said: "I don't care about my life. I really want to save this soldier to guard against Lu Xun's ear in Eastern Wu."Soon Sun Quan will assume the title of honor; if he is called honor, he is afraid that his majesty will attack him, and he will be the first to join the bandits. Therefore, I want to treat him with soldiers.In the middle of the speech, the near minister suddenly said: Cao Dudu reported the military situation.Yi said: "Your Majesty, you can ask someone to warn Cao Zhen: Anyone who is chasing Shu soldiers must observe the reality and not go deep into important places, and follow Zhuge Liang's plan."At that time, Rui Shi issued an edict to send Tai Changqing Han Yu to hold the festival and warn Cao Zhen: "Don't fight, but be careful; only when the Shu soldiers retreat, can they attack them."Sima Yi sent Han Yu outside the city and asked him to say: "I will give this merit to Zidan. When the public sees Zidan, don't say that is what I said. The only way is for the emperor to issue an edict and teach conservation first."Those who are chasing should be careful, and don't send impatient people to chase them.He resigned.

But it was said that Cao Zhen was raising his account to discuss matters, and suddenly reported that the emperor had sent Taichang Qing Han Xun to hold the festival.Really out of the village to access.After receiving the edict, I retreated to discuss with Guo Huai and Sun Li.Huai laughed and said, "This is Sima Zhongda's opinion."Zhen said: What do you see?Huai said: "This statement deeply understands Zhuge Liang's method of using troops.After a long time, those who can fight against the soldiers of Shu must be Zhongda.Zhen said: What will happen if the Shu soldiers do not retreat?Huai said: "Ke Mi asked Wang Shuang to teach Wang Shuang and lead his troops to patrol the small road. He dared not transport food."When the food is exhausted and the troops retreat, take advantage of the momentum to pursue and win a complete victory.Sun Li said: "A certain person went to Qishan to pretend to be a grain transporter. The cart was full of dry firewood and thatch, and was filled with sulfur, flame and salt, but he told people to falsely report that the grain transport had arrived in Longxi."If the soldiers in Shu have no food, they will definitely come to grab it.Waiting to enter it, setting fire to the chariot, and responding with ambushes outside, you can win.Zhenxi said: "This is a great plan!"He ordered Sun Li to lead his troops to follow the plan.He also sent people to teach Wang Shuang to lead troops to patrol the small roads, and Guo Huai led troops to transfer Jigu and Jieting, and ordered all road troops to guard the dangerous points.In fact, Zhang Liaozi and Zhang Hu were ordered to be the vanguard, and Le Jin's son Le Wei was the deputy vanguard. They were both guarding the head camp and were not allowed to fight.

But it is said that Kong Ming is challenged every day in Qishan village, and Wei Bing can't stand it.Kongming called Jiang Wei and others to discuss and said: "Wei soldiers can't hold out, it's because there is no food in our army."Today, Chencang cannot be transported, and the other small roads are difficult. I count the food and grass with the army, which is not enough for one month, so what can I do?While hesitating, it was suddenly reported that the Wei army in Longxi had transported thousands of carts of grain to the west of Qishan Mountain, and the grain transport officer was Sun Liye.Kong Ming said: "How is he?"Someone from Wei said: This man once went hunting with Lord Wei on Dashi Mountain.Suddenly a fierce tiger was startled, and it went straight to the front of the imperial court. Sun Li got off his horse and drew his sword to kill it.From then on, he was named a general: he was Cao Zhen's confidant.Kongming said with a smile: "This is Wei general's material for my lack of food, so he used this plan: the load on the cart must be thatch to ignite the fire."I have dedicated my life to attacking with fire, so he wants to use this trick to lure me?If he knows that our army is going to rob grain trucks, he will come and rob our stronghold.You can follow the plan.Then he called Ma Dai to pay and said: "You lead three thousand troops to the place where Wei Bing garrisoned grain. You are not allowed to enter the camp, but set fire to the wind."If there is a chariot battle, Wei soldiers will come to surround our village.They also sent Ma Zhong and Zhang Ni to lead 5,000 soldiers each to live on the outskirts, attacking both inside and outside.The three of them were tricked.He also called Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to pay and said: Wei Bingtou camp connects four roads.If there is a fire in the west mountain tonight, Wei soldiers will come to rob our camp.But the two of you fell on the left and right sides of Weizhai.Just wait for his troops to come out of the stronghold, and you two can rob him.He also called Wu Ban and Wu Yi to pay and said: "You two each lead an army to lie outside the camp."If Wei soldiers arrive, they can cut off their way back.Kong Ming has finished allocating, and he sits on Qishan Mountain.Wei Bing found out that the Shu soldiers were coming to rob grain, and reported it to Sun Li in a hurry.The courtesy makes people report to Cao Zhen.Really sent people to Touying to pay Zhang Hu and Le Wei: "Look at the fire in Shanxi tonight, the soldiers from Shu will come to rescue."You can go to the army, so so.The two were tricked to make people go upstairs to watch the fire.

But he said that Sun Li put his army in Shanxi, waiting for the soldiers from Shu to arrive.At the second watch of the night, Ma Dai led 3,000 soldiers, all of them with their heads in their heads, and the horses were exhausted, and they went straight to Shanxi.I saw many chariot battles, stacked on top of each other, gathered around to form a camp, and the chariot battles were falsely planted with flags.Just as the southwest wind was blowing, Dai ordered the sergeant to go to the south of the camp to set fire.Sun Li only said that the Shu soldiers went to the Wei village to set off trumpets, and hurriedly led the soldiers to cover them together.Behind the drums and horns, two soldiers came to kill: it was Ma Zhong and Zhang Yi who surrounded the Wei army in Gaixin.Sun Li was shocked.Then I heard the cry of Wei Junzhong, and a Biao army came out of the fire: it was Ma Dai.Attacking from inside and outside, Wei Bing was defeated.The fire was tight and the wind was fast, people and horses ran wild, and countless people died.Sun Liyin slandered the army and left in a burst of smoke.

But it is said that Zhang Hu was in the camp, saw the fire, opened the gate of the village, and led people and horses together with Le Chen, and rushed to the village of Shu, but there was no one in the village.When the army was in a hurry to withdraw, Wu Ban and Wu Yi's two soldiers rushed out, cutting off their way back.The two generals Zhang and Le rushed out of the encirclement and rushed back to the camp. On the Tucheng, arrows were like locusts: it turned out that they were attacked by Guan Xing and Zhang Bao.The Wei soldiers were defeated, and they all went to Cao Zhen's stronghold.When Fang wanted to enter the stronghold, he saw a defeated army galloping towards him. It was Sun Li; so they entered the stronghold together to see the truth, and each said what he had planned.Really listen to know, stick to Dazhai, let alone fight.The soldiers of Shu won the victory and went back to Kong Ming.

Kong Ming asked Wei Yan to teach secret advice, and at the same time taught him to pull out the stronghold.Yang Yi said: "We have won a great victory now, and the vigor of the Wei soldiers has been defeated. Why do you want to withdraw the army?"Kongming said: "Our soldiers have no food, and Li is fighting urgently."Now if he can't stick to it, I will suffer from his illness.Although he is temporarily defeated, the Central Plains will definitely benefit.If you use light cavalry to attack my Liang Dao, then you will not be able to return.Now that Wei soldiers are newly defeated, and they dare not face up to the Shu soldiers, they can take the opportunity to retreat by surprise.The only one to worry about is Wei Yan's army, who resisted Wang Shuang at the crossing of Chencang, and was anxious to escape; I have given people a secret plan to kill Wang Shuang, so that the Wei people dare not come after them.Only the rear team goes first.That night Kongming only stayed in the village with the golden drum to watch the watch.One night, all the soldiers had retreated, only the battalion was lost.

But he said that Cao Zhen was depressed in the stronghold, when he suddenly reported that the left general Zhang Yun had arrived.He got off his horse and entered the account, saying that he really said: "I have come to listen to the imperial decree."Zhen said: Have you ever bid farewell to Zhongda?He said: Zhongda paid the bill: "If our army wins, the Shu soldiers will not be able to go; if our army loses, the Shu soldiers will definitely go."After the defeat of our army today, did the governor go to the sentry to find out the news of the Shu soldiers?Zhen said: "Not yet."So people went to check it out, and it turned out that it was a virtual camp, with only dozens of banners planted, and the soldiers had been gone for two days.Cao Zhen regretted it too much.

It is said that Wei Yan received a secret plan, pulled out the stronghold at the second watch that night, and hurried back to Hanzhong.Wang Shuang has been reported to Wang Shuang by a detailed report.Shuangda drove the army horses and chased them hard.After chasing for more than 20 miles, to see if we could catch up, and seeing Wei Yan's banner in front, they both shouted, "Wei Yanxiu go!"The soldiers of Shu never looked back.Double pat the horse and come.Wei Bing yelled behind him: "There is a fire in the stronghold outside the city, fearing the enemy's tricks."When they reined in their horses in a hurry and returned, they saw a flame soaring into the sky and ordered the army to retreat in a panic.Walking to the left side of the hillside, suddenly a horse rode out of the forest and shouted: "Wei Yan is here!"Wang Shuang was shocked, caught off guard, and was hacked off his horse by Yan.Suspecting an ambush, Wei Bing fled in all directions.There are only thirty riders and horses under Yan Yan, who are walking slowly in Hanzhong.Later generations have a poem praising it:

Kong Ming won against Sun Pang, and Geng Ruo Changxing shines on one side.The advance and retreat of soldiers is unpredictable, and Chen Cang cuts Wang Shuang at the crossing. It turned out that Wei Yan had received Kong Ming's secret plan: first teach him to save 30 cavalry, and lie down beside Wang Shuang's camp; only when Wang Shuang raised his troops to rush, he went to his camp and set fire to him;Wei Yan beheaded Wang Shuang, led his troops back to Hanzhong to meet Kong Ming, and handed over the men and horses.It is easy for Kong Ming to host a banquet. Let's say that Zhang Yun failed to catch up with the Shu soldiers and returned to the stronghold.Suddenly, Chencangcheng Hao Zhao sent someone to report that Yan Wangshuang was beheaded.When Cao Zhen heard about it, he was very sad, so he became sick from worry; he returned to Luoyang and ordered Guo Huai, Sun Li, and Zhang Yun to guard the roads of Chang'an.

However, it is said that Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, set up the dynasty, and a spy reported that: Prime Minister Zhuge of Shu sent troops twice, and Cao Zhen, the governor of Wei, lost his troops and was about to die.So all the ministers persuaded Wu Wangxing to attack Wei and use the original map.Quan hesitated.Zhang Zhaozuo said: I recently heard that a phoenix came to the east mountain of Wuchang; in the great river, yellow dragons appeared repeatedly.The lord's morality matches Tang and Yu, and Ming combines Wen and Wu: you can take the throne of the emperor, and then raise troops.All the officials responded, "Zibu's words are true."Therefore, Bingyin day in April of summer was selected, and the platform was built in the southern suburbs of Wuchang.On this day, the ministers asked Quan to ascend the altar and become the emperor, and changed the eighth year of Huangwu to the first year of Huanglong.His posthumous father Sun Jian was Emperor Wulie, his mother Wu was Empress Wulie, and his elder brother Sun Ce was King Huan of Changsha.Li's descendants ascended to be the crown prince.He ordered Zhuge Jin's eldest son Zhuge Ke to be the crown prince Zuo Fu, and Zhang Zhao's second son Zhang Xiu to be the crown prince You Bi.

Ke character inferior, seven feet long, extremely smart, good at coping: Quan loves him very much.When he was six years old, he was at the banquet of Soochow Wu, and he was present with his father.Quan saw that Zhuge Jin had a long face, so he asked someone to bring a donkey and write on his face with chalk, saying: Zhuge Ziyu.Everyone laughed.Ke went to the front, took the chalk and added two characters under it, saying: Zhuge Ziyu's donkey.All the people in the house were surprised.Quan was overjoyed, so he gave the donkey to him.Another day, there was a big banquet for the bureaucrats, and the power was ordered to hold the lamp.Touring to Zhang Zhao, Zhao refused to drink, saying: "This is not a gift for the elderly."Quan called Ke and said, "Can you force Zibu to drink?"Ke took the order, but Zhao said: "In the past, Jiang Shang's father was ninety years old, and Bingyan was fighting with axe. He never said he was old."On the day of battle today, the husband is behind; on the day of drinking, the husband is in the front: what does it mean not to retire?Zhao had no words to answer, so he had to drink strongly: Quan loved him because of this, so he ordered him to assist the prince.Zhang Zhaozuo, the king of Wu, ranked above the three princes, so his son Zhang Xiu was appointed as the crown prince Youbi.He also took Gu Yong as the prime minister, Lu Xun as the general, and assisted the prince to guard Wuchang.The right to return to Jianye.The ministers discussed the strategy of defeating Wei.Zhang Zhaozuo said: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, so you can't send troops."It is only advisable to cultivate culture and military affairs, add schools to reassure the people; send envoys to Sichuan, form an alliance with Shu, divide the world together, and slowly plan. According to his words, he ordered the mission to enter Sichuan at night to see the Empress.After the ceremony, let's talk about it in detail.After the Lord heard about it, he discussed it with his ministers.All the opinions are that Sun Quan is arrogant, and it is appropriate to cut off his alliance.Jiang Wan said: "You can ask the prime minister."The Empress sent an envoy to Hanzhong to ask Kong Ming.Kongming said: "You can send gifts to Wu to congratulate, and beg to send Lu Xunxing to attack Wei."Wei Biling Sima Yi refused.If Yi Ruonan refuses Soochow, I will go out of Qishan again, and Chang'an will have a bright future.According to the words of the Empress, he ordered Taiwei Chen Zhen to bring famous horses, jade belts, gold beads, and treasures into Wu for congratulations.The shock reached Soochow, met with Sun Quan, and presented his letter of credence.Quan was overjoyed, hosted a banquet and sent him back to Shu.Quan called Lu Xun in and told Yixishu about the appointment of the army to attack Wei.Xun said: "This is the plot of Kong Ming's fear of Sima Yi."He and his accomplices had to follow.Today, it is pretending to raise an army, and it is far away from Western Shu.When Kong Ming is in a hurry to attack Wei, I can take advantage of the emptiness and take the Central Plains.At that time, it was ordered that every place in Jingxiang should train people and horses, and choose a day to revitalize the division. But he said that Chen Zhen returned to Hanzhong and reported to Kong Ming.Kong Ming was still worried that Chen Cang should not be entered lightly, so he sent people to sentry.The report said: Hao Zhao in Chencang City is seriously ill.Kongming said: "The big thing is done."Then he called Wei Yan and Jiang Wei to pay and said: "You two lead five thousand soldiers and go straight to the city of Chencang in the starry night; if you see a fire, attack the city with all your might."Neither of them believed deeply, so they came to tell again, "When will it be possible?"Kongming said: "It will be completed in three days; you don't have to say goodbye to me, just start to go."The two were tricked.He also called Guan Xing and Zhang Baozhi, and whispered in his ears, so and so.The two went away under secret plan. When Guo Huai heard that Hao Zhao was seriously ill, he discussed with Zhang Yun and said: "Hao Zhao is seriously ill, you can go and replace him quickly."I wrote my own form to apply to the court, so don't make a decision.Zhang He led three thousand soldiers and rushed to replace Hao Zhao.At that time, Hao Zhao was critically ill.While moaning that night, it was reported that the Shu army had arrived at the city.In a hurry, people go to the city to guard.At that time, the gates were on fire, and there was chaos in the city.Zhao heard that he was shocked to death.Shu soldiers rushed into the city. But when Wei Yan and Jiang Wei led the troops to look at the city of Chencang, they didn't see a banner, and there was no watcher.The two were surprised and did not dare to attack the city.Suddenly there was a bang, and the four flags stood up.I saw a man with a shawl, a feather fan, and a crane cloak in a Taoist robe, shouting, "You two are late."Two people regard it: it is Kong Ming.The two got off their horses in a hurry, bowed down on the ground and said: "The prime minister is really a god plan!"Kong Ming ordered them to be put into the city, saying that they said: "I found out that Hao Zhao was seriously ill. I ordered you to lead the troops to take the city within three days. This is to stabilize the hearts of everyone."But I ordered Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to push some troops out of Hanzhong secretly.I hid in the army, and made my way to the city under the starry night, so that he could not transfer troops.I have already set fire to the city and shouted for help, which made Wei Bing suspicious.If the soldiers have no masters and generals, they will be in chaos.Therefore, it is easy for me to take it.The Art of War says: To catch the unexpected, to attack the unprepared.That's exactly what it means.Wei Yan and Jiang Wei bowed down.Kongming felt sorry for Hao Zhao's death, and ordered his wife Xiaofu's coffin to return to Wei to show his loyalty. Kongming called Wei Yan and Jiang Wei and said: You two don't take off your armor, you can lead troops to attack Sanguan.If the guards know that the soldiers are coming, they will be scared away.If Wei soldiers arrive at the pass a little later, it will be difficult to attack.Wei Yan and Jiang Wei were ordered to lead their troops to Sanguan.The gatekeepers really left.The two of them had to take off their armor when they went to the pass. In the distance, they saw dust rising outside the pass and the arrival of Wei soldiers.The two said to each other: "The prime minister's fortune is unpredictable!"Ascending the building in a hurry, it was Wei general Zhang Yun.The two divided their troops to guard the dangerous road.Seeing that the Shu soldiers were guarding the main road, Zhang He ordered them to retreat.Wei Yan chased after him for a while.Countless Wei soldiers died, and Zhang Yun was defeated and left.Extend back to Guanshang and let people report to Kong Ming.Kongming first led his own troops, went out of Chencang Xiegu, and took Jianwei.Later, Shu soldiers advanced one after another.The latter ordered the general Chen Shi to help.Kongming drove the soldiers back to Qishan.After setting up the camp, Kongming gathered people and said: "I went out of Qishan for the second time, but I won't benefit. Now I come here again, I expect the people of Wei will still fight against me in the same place."He suspected that if I took the two places of Yong and Mei, I would definitely refuse to defend them with soldiers; I think that the two counties of Yinping and Wudu are connected to the Han Dynasty. If we win this city, we can also divide the power of Wei soldiers.Who dares to take it?Jiang Wei said: "Someone is willing to go."Wang Ping replied: "Someone is also willing to go."Kong Ming was overjoyed, so he ordered Jiang Wei to lead 10,000 troops to take Wudu, and Wang Ping led 10,000 troops to take Yinping.The two led the troops. Besides, when Zhang Yun returned to Chang'an, he met Guo Huai and Sun Li and said: "Chencang is lost, Hao Zhao is dead, and Sanguan has been taken by Shu soldiers."Today, Kongming returned to Qishan and marched in separate ways.Huai was shocked and said: "If so, Yong and Mei will be taken!"Instead, Zhang Yun was left to guard Chang'an, and Sun Li was ordered to protect Yongcheng.Huai led his troops to defend Meicheng during the starry night, expressing that he was in urgent need of going to Luoyang. But it is said that Cao Rui, the Lord of Wei, set up a dynasty, and his close ministers said: "Chencang City has been lost, Hao Zhao has died, Zhuge Liang has left Qishan again, and Sanguan has been taken by Shu soldiers."Rui was shocked.Suddenly, he played Man Chong and others, saying, "Sun Quan of Eastern Wu usurped the title of emperor and made an alliance with Shu."Lu Xun is now sent to train troops in Wuchang, waiting for calls.Only in the morning and evening, there must be bandits.Rui heard that there were two dangers, so he was at a loss and panicked.At this time, Cao Zhen was still ill, so he called Sima Yi to discuss.Yizuo said, "as expected by my minister's foolishness, Soochow will not raise troops."Rui said: "how do you know it?"Yi said: "Kongming wanted to report to Xiaoting's dominance, but he didn't want to swallow Wu. He was afraid that the Central Plains would take advantage of it and attack him, so he temporarily formed an alliance with Dongwu."Lu Xun also knew what he meant, so he pretended to respond by pretending to raise troops, but he was really sitting on the sidelines and watching success or failure.Your Majesty does not need to guard against Wu, but only against Shu.Rui said: Your opinion is really high!Then he appointed Yi as the governor of the Great Metropolitan, who took pictures of all the armies and horses in the west of Longxi, and ordered his ministers to take the seals of Cao Zhen's generals.Yi said: "I will take it myself."Then he resigned from the emperor and went out of the court, and went directly to Cao Zhen's mansion, where he was ordered to report to the mansion first, and Yifang came to see him.After asking about his illness, Yi said: "Eastern Wu and Western Shu joined forces and raised troops to invade the bandits. Today, Kongming came out of Qishan to go down to the stronghold. Do you know that?"Zhen was surprised and said: My family knew that I was seriously ill, but they didn't let me know.It seems that the country is in danger, why not worship Zhongda as the governor and withdraw the soldiers from Shu?Yi said: "A certain talent is shallow and shallow, and he is not qualified for his job."Zhen said: Take the seal and Zhongda.Yi said: "Don't worry, the governor: I am willing to help, but I dare not accept this seal."Zhen jumped up and said, "If Zhongda doesn't take up this post, China will be in danger!"I should see the emperor when I am sick to protect him!Yi said: "The Son of Heaven has a favor, but Yi dare not listen to it."Zhen Daxi said: "Zhongda is now in charge of this post, so he can retreat from Shu soldiers."Seeing that Zhen repeatedly gave up the seal, Yi accepted it. He went in and resigned the Lord of Wei, and led his troops to Chang'an to fight Kongming for a decisive battle.It's exactly: the old commander-in-chief's seal is taken by the new commander-in-chief, and the soldiers of the two routes come together only one way.It is unknown how the outcome will be, let's see the breakdown below.
