Chapter 101 The 100th chapter of Han soldiers robbing the stronghold, defeating Cao Zhen and Wuhou, fighting in battle and humiliating Zhongda

But all the generals heard that Kongming did not pursue the Wei soldiers, and they all entered the account and said: "The Wei soldiers are suffering from rain and cannot settle down, so they go back: just take advantage of the momentum to pursue them."How can the prime minister not chase after him?Kong Ming said: "Sima Yi is good at using troops. Now that the army is retreating, there must be an ambush."If I chase after it, I will hit the target.It's better to let him go far away, but I divide my troops to go out of the inclined valley and take Qishan, so that the people of Wei will not have to defend themselves.The generals said: "There is no other way to take the land of Chang'an. The prime minister only takes Qishan, why?"Kongming said: "Qishan is the head of Chang'an. If soldiers come from the counties of Longxi, they must pass through this place; moreover, they are adjacent to Weibin in front and inclined valleys in the back. They go out from the left and enter from the right. They can ambush soldiers. It is a place for military use."Therefore, I want to take this first, so as to gain a favorable location.All the generals bowed down.Kong Ming ordered Wei Yan, Zhang Yi, Du Qiong, and Chen Shi to go out of Jigu; Ma Dai, Wang Ping, Zhang Yi, and Ma Zhong to go out of Xiegu; they all met at Qishan.The allocation has been decided, Kong Ming raised his own army, ordered Guan Xing and Liao Hua to be the vanguard, and then marched.

But it is said that Cao Zhen and Sima Yi, who supervised the troops behind, ordered an army to visit the Chencang ancient road, and reported that the Shu soldiers would not come.After another ten days, all the generals who were ambushing behind all returned, saying that the Shu soldiers had no sound consumption.Zhen said: "The continuous autumn rain, the plank road is cut off, how do the people of Shu know that we are retreating?"Yi said: "Shu soldiers will go out later."Zhen said: How do you know it?Yi said: "It's clear and bright every day, and the soldiers of Shu don't rush. It is expected that I will have an ambush, so I let my soldiers go away; when my soldiers are exhausted, he will take Qishan."Cao Zhen didn't believe it.Yi said, "Why doesn't Zidan believe it?"I expect Kongming to come from Lianggu.Zidan and I each guarded a valley entrance for ten days.If there are no soldiers from Shu, I will put on red powder on my face and wear women's clothes, and I will come to the camp to avenge my crimes.Zhen said: "If there are soldiers from Shu, I would like to give you a jade belt and a royal horse from the emperor."Divide the troops into two groups: Zhen led the troops to station at the west of Qishan Mountain, at the mouth of Xiegu; Yi led the army to station at the east of Qishan Mountain, at the mouth of Jigu.All the villages are finished.Yi first led a group of soldiers to lie down in the valley; the rest of the army and horses camped on the main roads.Yi changed his clothes, mixed with the army, and looked around the battalions.Suddenly in the first battalion, a general looked up to the sky and complained: "It has been raining for a long time, and he refused to go back. Now he is staying here again, and he wants to bet on the game, but he doesn't suffer for the officers and soldiers!"When Yi heard that he was going back to the stronghold to raise his tent, he gathered all the generals under the tent to plan the future.Yi Chizhi said: "The imperial court raises troops for a thousand days, but only for a while.Ru'an dares to complain, to slow down the army!Others do not recruit.Yi asked his companions to testify against him, and it would be undeniable.Yi said, "I'm not gambling. If I want to win the Shu army, I will make each of you return to the court with merit."You are complaining arbitrarily and committing crimes yourself!Order the samurai to launch and cut it.In a moment, offer your head to the account.The generals were terrified.Yi said: "You and other generals must do our best to defend against the Shu soldiers."Hearing the ringing of our army, we are advancing on all sides.All the generals were ordered to retreat.

But it is said that the four generals Wei Yan, Zhang Yi, Chen Shi, and Du Qiong led 20,000 soldiers to take Jigu and advance.During the trip, Deng Zhi, the staff officer, was reported to have arrived, and the four generals asked him why.Zhi said: "The prime minister has an order: If you go out of Jigu, the embankment will be ambushed by Wei soldiers, and you can't enter lightly."Chen Shi said: "Why is the prime minister suspicious of using troops?"I expect that Wei soldiers will return in a hurry when they are hit by heavy rain and their armor is destroyed. And there is another ambush?Now our soldiers advance twice as many times, and we can win a big victory, how can we teach them to stop advancing?Zhi said: "The prime minister is right in all his schemes, and he can succeed in all his schemes. How dare Ru'an disobey his orders?"Shi Xiao said: "If the prime minister is resourceful, he will not lose the street pavilion!"Wei Yan thought of Kong Ming's refusal to listen to his plan, and said with a smile: "If the prime minister listens to my words and walks out of Ziwu Valley, don't talk about Chang'an at this time, even Luoyang will be won!"What is the benefit of going out to pray to the mountain now?He ordered the army to advance, and now he is teaching to stop advancing. How can the order be unclear!Shi said: I have five thousand soldiers myself, and I will go out of Jigu and go to Qishan Xiazhai first. I will not be ashamed to see the prime minister!Zhi repeatedly resisted, but Shi just refused to listen, and led five thousand soldiers out of Jigu.Deng Zhi had to report to Kong Ming.

But he said that Chen Shi had led his troops for several miles, when he heard the sound of a fire suddenly, all the soldiers came out in ambush on all sides.When retreating in a hurry, Wei soldiers filled the mouth of the valley and surrounded it like an iron bucket.The style rushes left and right, and you can't get rid of it.Suddenly there was a loud shout, and a Biao army rushed in, it was Wei Yan; he rescued Chen Shi and returned to the valley, only four or five hundred of the five thousand soldiers were wounded.Wei Bing came behind, but Du Qiong and Zhang Yi led troops to meet them, and Wei Bing retreated.Chen and Wei Fang believed that Kong Ming had seen it beforehand like a god, and they regretted it too late.

Let's say that when Deng Zhi met Kong Ming, he said that Wei Yan and Chen Shi were so rude.Kongming said with a smile: "Wei Yan has always been against the opposite, and I know that he often has injustices; because of pity for his courage, he will suffer harm after using it for a long time."In the middle of the speech, Meteor Horse suddenly reported, saying that Chen Shi had killed more than 4,000 people, and only 400 to 500 wounded people were stationed in the valley.Kongming ordered Deng Zhi to come to Jigu again to comfort Chen Shi and prevent him from changing. He called Ma Dai and Wang Ping to pay, saying: "If there are Wei soldiers guarding the Xiegu, you two will lead our army to cross the mountains, travel night and day, and come out quickly to pray." On the left side of the mountain, hold fire as a sign.He also called Ma Zhong and Zhang Yi to pay, saying: "You and others are also walking day and night from a secluded path in the mountain. You go out to the right of the prayer mountain, hold fire as a sign, and join Ma Dai and Wang Ping to rob Cao Zhen's camp."I attacked it from three sides in the valley, and the Wei soldiers could break it.The four took orders to lead the troops separately.Kong Ming also called Guan Xing and Liao Hua to pay and said, "So that's the case."The two were secretly tricked and led their troops away.Kong Ming led his own elite troops to march on the same path.During the trip, he called Wu Ban and Wu Yi to give him secret advice, and also led his troops ahead.

But he said that Cao Zhen didn't believe in the soldiers from Shu in his heart, so he was negligent, even if he ordered the soldiers to rest; if nothing happened for ten days, he would shame Sima Yi.Unconsciously, after seven days of guarding, someone reported that some small Shu soldiers had come out of the valley.He really ordered Qin Liang, the deputy general, to lead five thousand soldiers to scout, and not to allow Shu soldiers to approach the border.Qin Liang took the order and led his troops to the valley when he saw the Shu soldiers retreat.Liang hurriedly led his troops to come, and when he traveled fifty or sixty miles, he did not see any Shu soldiers. He was puzzled and told the soldiers to get off their horses and rest.Suddenly, the sentry horse reported that there were Shu soldiers in ambush ahead.When Liang got on his horse to look, he saw the dust rising up in the mountains, and he urgently ordered the soldiers to build embankments.After a while, there was a loud shout from the four walls: Wu Ban and Wu Yi led troops out in front, and Guan Xing and Liao Hua led troops to kill behind them.There are mountains on the left and right, and there is no walking.The Shu soldiers on the mountain shouted: Those who dismount and surrender will not die!Most of the Wei army surrendered.Qin Liang fought to the death and was chopped off by Liao Hua.Kongming detained the surrendered soldiers in the rear army, but put on the armor of the Wei army and 5,000 men of the Shu army, pretending to be Wei soldiers, and ordered Guan Xing, Liao Hua, Wu Ban, and Wu Yi to lead them to Cao Zhen's stronghold; The shilling reported the horse into the stronghold and said, "only some small Shu soldiers have driven away."Really overjoyed.Suddenly, it was reported that the governor of Sima had sent his confidants.Really call into the question.The man told him: Today, the soldiers of Shu used ambushes to kill more than 4,000 soldiers of Wei.Dudu Sima paid tribute to the general, and taught Xiu to bet on the game, so he must take care of the embankment.Zhen said: "I don't have a Shu soldier here."So he sent someone back.Suddenly, it was reported that Qin Liang had led his troops back.He really went out of the tent to welcome him.When they arrived at the village, people reported that there were two fires before and after.When I was in a hurry to go back to the stronghold and look back, four generals, Guan Xing, Liao Hua, Wu Ban, and Wu Yi, pointed at the Shu army, and came in before the camp to kill the generals; Ma Dai and Wang Ping came from behind; Ma Zhong and Zhang Yi also led troops. kill.Wei Bing was caught off guard and fled separately.All the generals Bao Cao looked east and left, and the Shu soldiers came behind them.Cao Zhen was running, when suddenly there was a loud shout, and a Biao army came to him.He was really terrified; it was Sima Yi who saw him.Yi fought a battle, and the soldiers of Shu retreated.There is no place for shame if you really get rid of it.Yi said: "Zhuge Liang has taken away the terrain of Qishan, we can't live here for a long time; we should go to Weibin to camp and make a good plan."Zhen said: How does Zhongda know that I have suffered such a great defeat?Yi said: "I saw that people reported that Zidan said that there was no Shu soldier. I expected that Kongming came to rob the stronghold secretly, so I knew it, so I responded accordingly."This fruit is counted.Don't talk about gambling games, just serve the country with one heart.Cao Zhen was terrified, became sick with anger, and was bedridden.When the soldiers were stationed at Weibin, Yi feared that the army would be in disorder, so he did not dare to teach Zhen to lead the army.

But it is said that Kong Ming drove the soldiers and horses and came back to pray for the mountain.After the labor force is over, Wei Yan, Chen Shi, Du Qiong, and Zhang Ni will enter the account and worship and plead guilty.Kong Ming said: "Who has fallen into the army?"Yan said: "Chen Shi didn't give orders, sneaked into Taniguchi, and was defeated by it."The formula said: "Wei Yan taught me to do this."Kong Ming said: "He saved you instead, but you climbed up to him instead!"If you violate the order, don't say it cleverly!He ordered the samurai to launch the Chen-style beheading.After a while, he hung his head in front of the tent to show the generals that Kong Ming would not kill Wei Yan at this time, and wanted to keep it for later use.Kong Ming killed Chen Shi and was discussing to enter the army. Suddenly there was a detailed report that Cao Zhen was sick and was being treated in the camp.Kong Ming was overjoyed.It is said that the generals said: "If Cao Zhen's illness is mild, he will return to Chang'an."If the Wei soldiers don't retreat today, they must be seriously ill, so they stay in the army to calm everyone's hearts.I wrote a book to teach Qin Liang's soldiers to hold Cao Zhen, and if he saw him, he would surely die.Then he called the soldiers to the tent and asked, "you are all Wei soldiers. Your parents and wives are mostly in the Central Plains. It is not suitable to live in Shu for a long time."How about letting you go home now?The army wept and thanked.Kongming said: "Cao Zidan has an appointment with me; I have a book, and if you bring it back and send it to Zidan, there will be a great reward."Wei Jun took the book, ran back to the village, and presented Kong Ming's book to Cao Zhen.Really help the sick to rise, unpack it and see it.His book says:

Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, wrote a letter before Cao Zidan, the great Sima: It is said that a husband is a general: he can go and stay, he can be soft and hard; he can advance and retreat, he can be weak and strong.Immovable like a mountain, hard to know like yin and yang; infinite like heaven and earth, full like a taicang; vast like the four seas, dazzling like three lights.Predict the drought and flood of astronomy, and know the peace and prosperity of geography first.When observing the situation, we can guess the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy.You are an uneducated junior who went up against the sky, helped the rebels who usurped the country, proclaimed the emperor in Luoyang; walked the remnant soldiers in Xiegu, and suffered rain in Chencang!The water and land are sleepy, and the people and horses are rampant!Throw away the armor in the suburbs, and throw away the swords and guns all over the ground!The governor's heart is broken and his courage is broken, and the general is running around while the wolf is busy!Facelessly meeting the elders in Guanzhong, He Yan entered the hall of the prime minister's mansion!Historians wrote down the records, and the common people spread the word: Zhong Da was vigilant when he heard the battle, and Zidan was not afraid of the wind!Our army is strong and our horses are strong, and our generals are as powerful as tigers!Sweeping Qinchuan into Pyongyang, turning Wei into a wasteland!

After Cao Zhen finished watching, he was filled with hatred and died in the army at the end of the day.Sima Yi loaded it in a military vehicle and sent people to Luoyang for burial.When the Lord of Wei heard that Cao Zhen was dead, he issued an edict to urge Sima Yi to fight.Yi raised his army to confront Kongming, and set off first the next day. Kongming called the generals and said: Cao Zhen must die.Then they came back to fight against each other.The messenger went.Kongming taught Jiang Wei that night that he had accepted the secret plan and did so; he also called Guan Xing to pay: so and so.The next day, Kong Ming sent all Qi Shan's soldiers to Weibin: one side is the river, the other side is the mountain, and the middle is Pingchuan wilderness, what a battlefield!The two armies greeted each other and shot the corners of the formation with bows and arrows.After the three-way drum, the gate flags in the Wei formation were opened, Sima Yi went out, and all the generals followed.I saw Kong Ming sitting on a four-wheeled cart, shaking a feather fan.Yi said: "My lord, Yao, Chan, and Shun, according to legend, two emperors who ruled the Central Plains and accommodated Ru, Shu and Wu, are my lord who is merciful and benevolent, and fears harming the common people."You are a farmer in Nanyang. You don't know the number of days, and you want to invade each other by force, so you should be killed!If you don't worry about changing your mistakes, you should return early, each guarding the border, so as to form a tripartite force, so as not to cause the loss of life, and you will all have a full life!Kongming said with a smile: "I was entrusted with the loneliness by the late emperor. Wouldn't Anken devote himself to trying to win the thieves?"The Ru Cao family was soon destroyed by the Han Dynasty.Your grandfathers were all officials of the Han Dynasty, and the world lived on Han's salary, and they didn't want to repay them, but instead helped usurp the rebellion, wouldn't they be ashamed of themselves?With a face full of shame, Yi said: I will fight against you!If you can win, I swear I will not be a general!If you return to your hometown early when you are defeated, I will not harm you!

Kong Ming said: Do you want to fight generals?Fighting soldiers?Fighting method?Yi said: "Fight first."Kongming said: "Let's set up the formation first and let me see."Yi entered the camp of the Chinese army, held a yellow flag in his hand, and waved. The troops moved around, formed a formation, mounted his horse and went out, and asked, "Do you know my formation?"Kongming said with a smile: "the last general in our army can also spread it!"This is the Hunyuan One Qi Formation.Yi said, "I'll see if you set up an array."Kongming entered the battle, shook his feather fan, and before returning to the battle, he asked, "do you know my battle?"Yi said: How can you not know how to measure this eight trigrams formation?Kongming said: "If you know it, you will know it. Do you dare to fight me?"Yi said: "If you know it, why don't you dare to fight it!"Kongming said, "you just call."Sima Yi returned to the formation, called the three generals Dai Ling, Zhang Hu, and Le Wei, and said: "Today, the formation set up by Kongming will open eight gates according to Hugh, Life, Injury, Du, Scenery, Death, Surprise."The three of you can enter from the Shengmen Gate in the east, fight out from the Xiumen Gate in the southwest, and then open the gate from the Zhengbei to enter: this formation can be broken.You wait carefully!So Dai Ling was in the middle, Zhang Hu was in the front, and Le Wei was in the back. They each led 30 horsemen and entered through the Shengmen.The two armies shouted for help.The three of them rushed into the Shu formation, only to see that the formation was like a continuous city, and there was no conflict.The three of them hurriedly led the cavalry to turn around and rushed to the southwest, but they were shot by the Shu soldiers, and the conflict could not be resolved.There are many gates in the formation, where are the east, west, north and south?The three generals couldn't look at each other, they just bumped into each other, but they saw gloomy clouds and misty mist.At the sound of the shout, Wei Jun was tied up one by one and sent to the Zhongjun.Kong Ming sat in the tent and tied Zhang Hu, Dai Ling, Le Chen and ninety troops to the left and right under the tent.Kongming said with a smile, "even if I catch you, what a surprise!"I will let you wait to see Sima Yi and teach him to re-read military books and re-appreciate the strategy of battle, then it is not too late to decide the male and female.If your lives are spared, you should leave behind your weapons and horses.Then he took off the clothes of all the people, painted their faces with ink, and went out on foot.Seeing this, Sima Yi was furious, and looking back at the generals, he said: "If you are so frustrated, what face do you have to see the Minister of the Central Plains?"He commanded the three armies and fought to the death.Yi drew his sword in his hand, led more than a hundred generals, and urged the governor to charge to kill.Just when the two armies met, suddenly the drums and horns blared at the back of the battle, and the shouts were loud. A Biao army came to kill from the southwest: it was Guan Xingye.Yi divided the army as the rear, and urged the army to fight forward again.Suddenly the Wei soldiers were in chaos: it turned out that Jiang Wei led a Biao army to kill him quietly.Shu soldiers attacked from three directions, Yi was shocked and retreated hastily.Shu soldiers rushed around, and Yi led the three armies Wangnan to rush out desperately.Wei soldiers were wounded six to seven out of ten.Sima Yi retreated to the village on the south bank of Weibin, but could not hold out.

When Kongming collected the victorious soldiers and returned to Qishan, Li Yan of Yong'an City sent his captain, Gou'an, to deliver grain and rice to the army for delivery.Gou An likes wine, neglects on the road, and violates the limit for ten days.Kongming said angrily: "Our army specializes in food as a major matter. If it is delayed for three days, it should be cut off!"You have missed ten days today, what reason do you have to say?He ordered to launch and cut it.The envoy Yang Yi said: "Gou An is Li Yan's servant, and most of the money and food come from Xichuan. If you kill this man, no one will dare to send food later."Kongming ordered the warrior to remove his shackles, and let go of his eighty sticks.Gou An was reprimanded, and with resentment in his heart, he led his relatives and five or six cavalry all night, and went straight to Weizhai to surrender.Yi calls in, and Gou An pays homage to the past.Yi said, "Even so, Kong Ming is very resourceful, but your words are hard to believe."If you can do a great service for me, I will be the emperor at that time, and I will protect you as a general.An said: "But if there is anything, it should be effective."Yi said: "You can go back to Chengdu to spread rumors, saying that Kongming has the intention of resenting his superiors, and sooner or later he wants to be called emperor, so that your lord can recall Kongming: it is your contribution."Gou An promised, went back to Chengdu, met the eunuch, and spread rumors, saying that Kong Ming would usurp the country sooner or later because of his great achievements.The eunuch was shocked when he heard this, and went inside to play the emperor, talking about the past in detail.The Empress was astonished and said, "What can I do like this?"The eunuch said: "The edict can be returned to Chengdu to cut down its military power and avoid rebellion."The Empress issued an edict to announce that Kongming's class teacher would return to the court.Jiang Wan came out of the class and said: "The prime minister has made great achievements since he left the army. Why do you announce it?"The master said: "I have a secret matter, and I must discuss it with the prime minister."He sent envoys to Zhao Xingye to announce Kongming's return.The mission went to Qishan Dazhai, Kong Ming joined in, and after receiving the edict, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "The Lord is young, so there must be a courtier by his side!"I am trying to make meritorious deeds, so why take it back?If I don't answer, I'm deceiving the Lord.If he was ordered to retreat, it would be rare to have this opportunity in the future.Jiang Wei asked: "If the army retreats and Sima Yi takes advantage of the situation to cover up the attack, what will happen?"Kongming said: "I am retreating from the army today. I can retreat in five ways: I will retreat to this battalion first today."If there are one thousand soldiers in the camp, but two thousand stoves are dug.Dig 3,000 stoves today, dig 4,000 stoves tomorrow, and retreat every day to add stoves.Yang Yi said: In the past, when Sun Bin captured Pang Juan, he used the method of increasing troops and reducing stoves; now that the prime minister is withdrawing troops, why increase the stoves?Kong Ming said: "Sima Yi is good at using troops. Knowing that I am retreating, he will definitely pursue him. He suspects that I have an ambush, so he sets up several stoves in the old camp. Seeing that the stoves are increasing every day, and the soldiers don't know whether to retreat or not, he is suspicious and dare not pursue.I retreat slowly, without harming the soldiers.Then he sent an order to retreat. But Sima Yi expected that Gou An's plan would be stopped, and he would cover up and kill them all when the Shu soldiers retreated.While hesitating, it was reported that Shuzhai was empty, and all the people and horses left.Because Kongming was resourceful and dared not pursue lightly, Yi led more than a hundred riders to the Shu camp to have a look. He taught the soldiers to count the cooking stoves and returned to the village. .The report said: the stove in this camp is one more point than before.Sima Yi said to the generals, "I expected Kong Ming to be resourceful. Now that he has increased his troops, if I pursue him, I will fall into his trap. Why don't we retreat now and make a better plan."So he returned to the army and did not pursue him.Kong Ming looked at Chengdu without leaving one person.The next time, the local people from Chuankou came to report to Sima Yi, saying that when Kong Ming withdrew, he saw no additional troops, only Zengzao.Yi looked up to the sky and sighed, "Kong Ming followed Yu Xu's method, and he didn't hide it from me!"I am inferior to its strategy!Then lead the army back to Luoyang.It's exactly: It's hard to win against an opponent in chess, and it's not arrogance if you have a good general.It is unknown how Kong Ming returned to Chengdu.And see the breakdown below. ① Yu Xu was born in the Eastern Han Dynasty.Once fought with the Qiang people in Chencang, he defeated the Qiang people with the strategy of Zengzao.
