Chapter 102 Chapter One Hundred and Eleven Out of Longshang Zhuge Zhuge, God of Makeup, Rushes to Jiange

But it is said that Kong Ming retreated to Hanzhong by reducing his troops and adding stoves. Sima Yi, afraid of an ambush, did not dare to pursue, so he also withdrew his troops and went back to Chang'an. Therefore, no Shu soldiers lost a single person.After Kongming rewarded the three armies, he returned to Chengdu and went to see the Empress. He said: "The old minister left Qishan and wanted to take Chang'an. He suddenly received an edict from his majesty to recall him. I don't know what's the big deal?"The Empress had nothing to say to him; after a long time, he said: "I haven't seen the Prime Minister for a long time, and I miss you so much, so I have nothing else to do."Kongming said: "This is not your Majesty's original intention. There must be treacherous ministers who slander and slander, and those who say that ministers have different ambitions."After hearing the words, the Empress was silent.Kongming said: The old minister received the kindness of the late emperor and vowed to repay it with death.Now, if there are treacherous evil inside, can Chen An get rid of the thieves?The Empress said: "Because I overheard the eunuch's words, I temporarily recalled the prime minister."Today the Maosai will be opened, and I regret it too late.Kongming then called all the eunuchs to inquire, only to find out that it was Gou'an's gossip; he was anxious to be arrested, and he had already gone to the state of Wei.Kongming killed the eunuchs who played falsely, and all the rest were thrown out of the palace; he also deeply blamed Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others for not being able to detect treacherous evil and admonishing the emperor.The two pleaded guilty.Kong Ming paid his respects to the postmaster and returned to Hanzhong. On the one hand, he ordered Li Yan to deal with the grain and grass, and still transport them to the front of the army; on the other hand, he discussed leaving the army.Yang Yi said: "In the past, when the army was raised, the army was exhausted and the food was not available. Now it is better to divide the army into two squads for a period of three months. If there are 200,000 soldiers, they only lead 100,000 out of Qishan and live for three months. Teach these one hundred thousand replacements, and the cycle turns: if this is the case, there will be no shortage of troops, and then advance slowly, and the Central Plains can be planned.Kongming said: "This statement is exactly what I want."My expedition to the Central Plains was not a matter of one day and one night, but it was a long-term plan.So he ordered that the troops be divided into two squads, with a limit of 100 days, and the cycle was reversed. Those who violated the limit were punished according to military law.

In the spring and February of the ninth year of Jianxing, Kong Ming returned to attack Wei: it was also the fifth year of Wei Taihe.Wei Zhu Cao Rui knew that Kongming was attacking the Central Plains again, so he urgently summoned Sima Yi to discuss.Yi said: "Zidan is dead now, and I would like to do my best to wipe out the bandits in order to repay Your Majesty."Rui was overjoyed and hosted a banquet for him.The next day, people reported that the Shu soldiers were in a hurry.Rui Shi ordered Sima Yi to go out to defend against the enemy, and personally arranged for Luan to send him out of the city.Yi resigned as Lord Wei and went straight to Chang'an, where he gathered all the people and horses to discuss the strategy of defeating the soldiers of Shu.Zhang He said: "I would like to lead an army to guard Yong and Mei to resist the soldiers of Shu."Yi said: "Our former army can't stand alone as Kongming's army, and if we divide our troops into the front and rear, there is no chance of winning."It is better to stay at Shanggu, and the rest of the people will go to Qishan.Are you willing to be a pioneer?He said with great joy: I have always been loyal and righteous, and I wanted to serve the country with all my heart, but I didn't meet my confidant; now the governor is willing to entrust me with important tasks, even if I die.So Sima Yi ordered Zhang He to be the vanguard and governor of the army; he also ordered Guo Huai to guard the counties in Longxi.The rest of the people will go their separate ways.The former military sentry horse newspaper said: Kong Ming led the army to look at Qishan Mountain. The front vanguards Wang Ping and Zhang Ni came out of Chencang, passed Jiange, and came from Sanguan to look at Xiegu.Sima Yi called Zhang He and said: "Today, Kong Ming will make great advances, and he will surely harvest the wheat in Longxi to provide food for the army."You can set up camp to guard Qishan, and Guo Huai and I will patrol the prefectures of Tianshui to prevent the bandits from cutting the wheat.He took the promise, and then led 40,000 soldiers to guard Qishan.Yi led the army to Longxi.

But when Kong Ming's soldiers arrived at Qishan, they had already set up camp, and when they saw Weibin's dikes prepared by the Wei army, they said to the generals, "This must be Sima Yi."There is a shortage of food in the camp today, and people have been sent to remind Li Yan to transport rice to deal with it, but they just can't.My guess is that the wheat on Longshang is ripe, so we can secretly lead troops to cut it.So four generals, Wang Ping, Zhang Yi, Wu Ban, and Wu Yi, were left to guard the Qishan camp. Kong Ming led Jiang Wei, Wei Yan and other generals to Lucheng.The prefect of Lucheng knew Kongming well, so he hurriedly opened the city and surrendered.After Kongming comforted him, he asked, "where is the wheat ripe at this time?"The eunuch said: "The wheat in Longshang is ripe."Kongming left Zhang Yi and Ma Zhong to guard Lucheng, and he led all the generals and the three armies to look forward to Longshang.The former army reported: Sima Yi led his troops here.Kongming said in surprise: "This man foresaw that I would come to reap the wheat!"To bathe and change clothes, push three four-wheeled carts, all of which are decorated in the same way. This cart was pre-built by Kong Ming in the middle of Shu.At that time, Jiang Wei was ordered to lead an ambulance of 1,000 troops, beat the drums of 500 troops, and lie behind Shanggu;For each cart, there are twenty-four people, dressed in soap and bare feet, with swords in their hair and seven-star soap flags in their hands, pushing the cart on the left and right.The three of them took their own plans and led the soldiers to push the carts away.Kong Ming also ordered 30,000 troops to hold sickles and ropes to wait for the wheat harvesting.However, twenty-four strong and strong men were selected, each wearing soap clothes, with hair and bare feet, holding four-wheeled carts with swords, as the messengers of the carts.Order Guan Xing to finish making the canopy ② and walk in front of the car with the seven-star soap flag in hand.Kong Ming sat on it and looked at Weiying.

The scout army was shocked when they saw it, not knowing whether it was a human or a ghost, so they quickly reported to Sima Yi.Yi went out of the camp to look at it: I saw Kongming with a hairpin crown and a crane cloak, shaking a feather fan, sitting on a four-wheeled cart; 24 people on the left and right, with their hair covered and swords;Yi said: "This is Kong Ming's mischief again!"So he allocated two thousand men and horses to pay, and said: "You go quickly, and even the car and the people are caught as much as you like!"Wei Bing took the order and chased them all together.When Kongming saw Wei Bing coming, he turned back to the carriage and walked slowly while looking at the Shu camp.All the soldiers of Wei rushed to chase after them, but they saw a cold wind and a long cold fog.I tried my best to catch up, but I couldn't catch up.Everyone was shocked, and they all stopped Ma Yan and said, "Strange!"I waited for thirty miles in a hurry, but I saw that I was ahead and couldn't catch up.What can I do?Seeing that the soldiers were not coming, Kongming ordered the cart to come over and rest towards Wei Bing.Wei Bing hesitated for a long time, and then let his horse come.Kong Ming returned to the car and walked slowly.Wei Bing drove another 20 miles, only to see the front, never catch up, all dementia.Kong Mingjiao turned back to the cart, turned towards Wei Jun, and pushed the cart backwards.Wei Bing wanted to catch up again.Later, Sima Yi led an army by himself.The decree said: Kongming Shanhui has eight armors, which can drive away the gods of six Ding and Liujia.This is the method of shrinking the ground in the Liujia Tianshu: the army should not pursue it.When all the soldiers reined in their horses and returned, the drums of the left side were loudly shaken, and a Biao army came to kill them.Yi hurriedly ordered the soldiers to refuse them: only twenty-four men in the Shu army, with their hair and swords in their hair, and their soapy clothes and bare feet, rushed out of a four-wheeled cart;Yi was shocked and said, "Kong Ming was sitting in that car just now. After driving fifty miles, he couldn't catch up. How can there be Kong Ming here?"Weird!Weird!Before he finished speaking, the battle drums rang again from the right side, and a Biao army came to kill: a Kong Ming was also sitting on the four-wheeled cart; there were also twenty-four people from the left and right, dressed in soap and bare feet, with hair and swords, coming with carts.Yi was very suspicious, looking back at the generals, he said: This must be a magic weapon!All the troops were in a great turmoil, not daring to fight, and ran separately.

Just as we were going, suddenly there was a loud drumbeat, and another Biao army came to kill: first, there was a four-wheeled cart, and Kong Ming sat on it, pushing the messenger from left to right, back and forth, just like before.Wei Bing was all shocked.Sima Yi didn't know if it was a human or a ghost, and he didn't know how many Shu soldiers were there. He was very frightened, and hurriedly led the soldiers into Shanggu, and closed the door.At this time, Kongming ordered 30,000 elite soldiers to cut off all the wheat in Longshang and transport it to Lucheng for drying.Sima Yi dared not leave the city for three days while he was in the city of Shanggu. Later, when the Shu soldiers retreated, he dared to send the army out.On the road, he captured a Shu soldier and came to see Sima Yi.Yi asked.The man said: "A certain man who is a wheat harvester was caught and came because he lost his horse."Yi said: "What kind of soldier is the former?"The answer was: none of the ambush soldiers on the three routes was Kong Ming: it was Jiang Wei, Ma Dai, and Wei Yanye who only had one thousand military ambulances on each route.Yi looked up to the sky and sighed, "Kong Ming has a chance to appear like a ghost!"Suddenly, it was reported to Guo Huai, the deputy governor, to see him.Yi connects, and the ceremony is over.Huai said: "I heard that there are not many soldiers in Shu. I saw that they were threshing wheat in Lucheng, and they could be attacked."Yi talked about the past in detail.Huai laughed and said, "It's only been hidden for a while; now that I've seen it through, what's the point?"I lead an army to attack the rear, and the Lord leads an army to attack the front. The city of Lu can be broken, and Kong Ming can be captured.Yi followed him, so he divided his troops into two groups.

But it is said that Kongming led the army to dry wheat in Lucheng, and suddenly called the generals to listen to the order and said, "the enemy will come to attack the city tonight."I guess the east and west wheat fields in Lucheng are enough to ambush soldiers; who dares to go for me?The four generals Jiang Wei, Wei Yan, Ma Zhong, and Ma Dai came out and said: "I am willing to go."Kongming was overjoyed, so he ordered Jiang Wei and Wei Yan to lead 2,000 soldiers each to the southeast and northwest; Ma Dai and Ma Zhong each led 2,000 soldiers to lie in the southwest and northeast. .The four generals were tricked and led their troops away.Kong Ming led more than a hundred people, each with a fire box out of the city, and waited in the wheat field.

But it was said that Sima Yi led his troops to the base of Lu City, and it was already dark, so he said to the generals, "If you march in the daytime, the city must be prepared; now you can attack at night."The city here is low and the moat is shallow, so it can be easily broken.Then he stationed troops outside the city.At one watch, Guo Huai also led his troops.Join forces twice, and with a sound of drums, the city of Lu is surrounded like an iron barrel.Thousands of crossbows were fired from the city, arrows and rocks rained like rain, and Wei soldiers dared not advance.Suddenly, Wei Jun's Zhongxin sounded repeatedly, and the three armies were shocked, but they didn't know where the soldiers were coming.When Huai sent people to search the wheat fields, the four corners of the fire shot up into the sky, and the shouts were loud. The four Shu soldiers came together; .Sima Yi led the defeated soldiers to break out of the siege and occupy the top of the mountain; Guo Huai also led the defeated soldiers to the back of the mountain and took hold.When Kong Ming entered the city, he ordered the fourth general to set up camp at the four corners.Guo Huai told Sima Yi, "I have been fighting with the soldiers of Shu for a long time now, and there is no way to retreat; now I have been killed for a while, and more than 3,000 people have been injured; if I don't plan early, it will be difficult to retreat in the future."Yi said, "How about Dangfu?"Huai said: "You can issue a call to action and call on the troops of Yong and Liang to suppress and kill them together."I would like to lead the army to attack Jiange and cut off his way back, so that the food and grass will be blocked, and the three armies will be in a panic.Yi followed it, and sent a call to Wen Xingye to go to Yong and Liang to transfer troops.Not a day later, general Sun Li led troops from Yong and Liang counties to arrive.Yixie ordered Sun Li to date Guo Huai to attack Jiange.

But he said that Kongming had resisted each other for a long time in Lucheng, and he didn't see Wei soldiers going out to fight, so he called Jiang Wei and Ma Dai into the city to listen to the order: "Now the Wei soldiers are guarding the dangerous mountains and will not fight with me: one expects that I will run out of grain; Order soldiers to attack Jiange, and cut off my food supply.The two of you each led 10,000 troops to defend the dangerous point first. Seeing that they were prepared, the soldiers of Wei retreated naturally.The two led the troops to go.Chang Shi Yang Yi entered the account and said: Prime Minister Xiang Zhe ordered soldiers to change every 100 days, and now it is enough. It's time to change shifts.Kong Ming said: If there is an order, then teach and move quickly.When all the troops heard about it, they all packed up and set off.Suddenly it was reported that Sun Li had led 200,000 troops from Yong and Liang to help in the battle to attack Jiange, and Sima Yi had led his own troops to attack Lucheng.Shu soldiers were all terrified.Yang Yi came in and told Kongming, "Wei soldiers came in such a hurry. The prime minister can change the army and stay behind to retreat from the enemy. Wait for the new soldiers to arrive, and then replace them."Kong Ming said: "No: I use my soldiers to order my generals, based on faith."If you have an order first, how can you break your promise?And the Shu soldiers who should go are all ready to return, and their parents and wives lean on the door to look at them; I am in great trouble now, and I will never leave him.Send orders to teach the soldiers who should go, and they will do it on the same day.When all the soldiers heard about it, they all shouted: "The prime minister is so kind to everyone. I will not return my wish. I will give up my life and kill the soldiers of Wei in order to repay the prime minister!"Kong Ming said: "You should return home. How can you stay here?"All the armies are going to fight, and they don't want to go home.Kongming said: "If you want to fight with me, you can go out of the city and set up camp. When the Wei soldiers arrive, don't wait for him to breathe, then attack them quickly: this is the method of waiting for work with leisure."All the soldiers took orders, each holding their weapons, and went out of the city happily, waiting in formation.

But it is said that Xiliang people and horses came twice as far, and those who left were exhausted; Fang wanted to go down to the camp to rest, but was surrounded by Shu soldiers. retreat.The soldiers of Shu pursued and killed them with all their might: the corpses of Nayong and Liang soldiers were all over the field, and blood flowed into canals.Kongming went out of the city, gathered the victorious soldiers, entered the city to reward labor, and suddenly reported that Yong'an Li Yan had a book urgently.Kong Ming was shocked and opened the package to see it.Book cloud: Recently, it has been heard that people from the Eastern Wu Dynasty entered Luoyang and made peace with Wei Lian.Wei ordered Wu to take Shu, but fortunately Wu had not raised an army yet.Now Yan Yan finds out the news, looks forward to the prime minister, and makes a good plan early.

After Kong Ming read it, he was very surprised, so he gathered all the generals and said: "If Eastern Wu raises troops to invade Shu, I must ask to return quickly."An order was sent to teach Qishan Dazhai to retreat to Xichuan: Sima Yi knew that my army was here, so he would not dare to pursue it.So Wang Ping, Zhang Yi, Wu Ban, and Wu Yi divided their troops into two groups and slowly retreated into Xichuan. Seeing that the soldiers of Shu were retreating, Zhang He feared that he might have a plan, so he dared not come after him. Instead, he led his troops to see Sima Yi, saying, "Now that the soldiers of Shu are retreating, what do you mean?"Yi said, "Kong Ming has so many tricks, don't move lightly."It's better to stick to it, and when he runs out of food, he will naturally retreat.General Wei Ping came out and said: "The Shu soldiers pulled out the Qishan camp and retreated, and they are just taking advantage of the momentum to pursue them."The governor stood still and feared Shu like a tiger, so why did the world laugh?Yi insisted.

But he said that Kong Ming knew that Qi Shan's soldiers had returned, so he ordered Yang Yi and Ma Zhong to enter the account, and gave him a secret plan to lead ten thousand bowmen to the wooden door of Jiange and lay an ambush twice; With a sound, he quickly rolled down the wood and stone, cut his way first, and shot at both ends.The two led the troops to go.He also called Wei Yan and Guan Xing to lead the troops to break up. Banners were planted all over the city, firewood was piled up in disorder in the city, and fireworks were set off in vain.The soldiers left with all their eyes on the wooden doorway. The patrolling army of Weiying came to report to Sima Yi, saying: "The Shu army has retreated, but I don't know how many soldiers are still in the city."Yi looked at it from the front, saw flags were planted on the city, and smoke rose from the city. He smiled and said, "This is an empty city."People explore it, it turns out to be an empty city.Yi said with great joy, "Kong Ming has retreated. Who dares to chase him?"Pioneer Zhang He said: "I would like to go."Yi Zhe said: "The public is impatient, so don't go."He said: "When the governor came out of the customs, he ordered me to be the vanguard; today is the time for making meritorious service, but he doesn't use me, why?"Yi said: "When the Shu soldiers retreat, there must be ambushes in dangerous places. They must be very careful before they can pursue them."He said: "I know it, so don't worry about it."Yi said: "If you want to go, don't regret it."He said: "A great man will sacrifice his life to serve his country, even though he will die forever, he will have no regrets."Yi said: "Gong Yan is determined to go, and he can lead 5,000 soldiers ahead; but he taught Wei Ping to lead 20,000 horse and infantry behind to prevent an ambush."But I self-introduced 3,000 soldiers to respond.Zhang He took the order and led his troops to chase after him.After walking for more than thirty miles, suddenly a shout came from behind, and a Biao army flashed out of the woods.He looked back and said, "It's Wei Yanye."He was furious and returned to his horse to confront him.If it doesn't match, delay the fraud and leave.He chased for another thirty li, reined in his horse and looked back, but there was no ambush, so he rode his horse forward again.Fang turned around the hillside, suddenly shouted loudly, and a Biao army flashed out: "The leading general is Guan Xingye, and he reined in his horse with his sword and shouted: "Zhang He, stop running away!"I am here!He flattered his horse and confronted each other.If they don't fit together, they will leave when they are happy.He then chased after him.When he arrived in a dense forest, He was suspicious and sent people to look around, but there was no ambush; so he hurried away with confidence.Wei Yan didn't want Wei Yan to copy in front; He joined Zhan Shiyu again.Yan lost again.He chased after him furiously, but was followed by Guan Xing, who stopped his way.He was furious and flattered his horse to confront each other.There were ten rounds in the battle, and the soldiers of Shu abandoned all their clothes, armour, and other things, filling the roads.Wei soldiers all dismounted to fight for it.The two generals Yan and Xing fought in turn.Zhang He chased after him bravely.Looking at the night, when we arrived at the wooden gate, Wei Yan turned back his horse and cursed loudly: "Zhang He is a traitor!"I will not refuse you!You just come here!I will fight to the death with you today!He was very angry, raised his spear and rushed to take Wei Yan.Yan swung his saber to meet him, but the battle was unsuccessful, and Yan was defeated. He discarded all his armor, helmet, and horse, and led the defeated soldiers to look at the wooden doorway and walk away.Zhang He got angry and saw Wei Yan fleeing in a big defeat, so he rushed over suddenly.At this time, the sky was dark, and there was a sound of fire, and the fire on the mountain shot into the sky, and big rocks and chaotic firewood rolled down, blocking the way.He was shocked and said, "I've been tricked!"When he hurried back to his horse, his back was filled with wood and rocks, and there was only a section of open space in the middle, with cliffs on both sides, and He had no way to advance or retreat.Suddenly there was a sound of clappers, and two volleys of crossbows shot Zhang He and more than a hundred generals to death in the wooden doorway.There is a poem from later generations that says: The crossbows fly together to thousands of stars, and shoot the soldiers on the wooden doorway.So far, passers-by in Jiange still say the old name of the military division. But he said that Zhang He was dead, and then Wei Bing chased him. Seeing that the road was blocked, he knew that Zhang He had fallen into the trap.All the troops reined in their horses and retreated hastily.Suddenly I heard a shout from the top of the mountain: "Prime Minister Zhuge is here!"All the soldiers looked up and saw Kong Ming standing in the fire, pointing to all the soldiers and saying: "I am hunting today. I want to shoot a horse, but I miss a deer."You go away with peace of mind; the superior Zhongda will be captured by me sooner or later.Wei Bing went back to see Sima Yi and told the past in detail.Yi was very sad, looked up to the sky and sighed, "it's my fault that Zhang Juanyi died!"But he withdrew his troops and returned to Luoyang.When the Lord Wei heard of Zhang He's death, he wept and sighed, and ordered his body to be collected and buried with honor. But it is said that Kongming entered Hanzhong and wanted to return to Chengdu to see his successor.Li Yan, the guardian of the imperial court, played the empress master and said: "I have prepared military rations, which are about to be transported to the prime minister's army. I don't know why the prime minister suddenly dispatched troops."After the master heard the play, he ordered Fei Yi, the minister, to go to Hanzhong to meet Kong Ming and ask about the class teacher.Yi went to Hanzhong to announce the intention of the Empress.Kongming was shocked and said: Li Yan sent a letter to express his urgency, saying that Soochow would raise troops to attack Chuan, so he returned to his division.Fei Yi said: "Li Yanzuo said that the army rations have been paid, and the prime minister returned to the teacher without reason, so the emperor ordered someone to ask about it."Kongming was so angry that people visited him: it was Li Yan who sent a book to get it back because of the lack of army food and feared that the prime minister would see him guilty, but then played the emperor in vain to cover up his fault.Kongming said angrily: "Every man abolishes the state affairs for his own sake!"It is called to beheaded.Fei Yi persuaded him, saying: "The Prime Minister thought of the late emperor's intention of entrusting Gu to you, so let's forgive him for now."Kong Ming followed it.Fei Yi is the master of the queen.After the master looked at the table, he was furious, and the warrior pushed Li Yan out and beheaded him.Joining the army Jiang Wan came out of the squad and said: Li Yan is a minister who was entrusted by the late emperor, begging for forgiveness.After the master followed him, he was relegated to the common people and moved to Zitong County. Kongming returned to Chengdu and used Li Yanzi and Li Feng as his long history; he accumulated grass and food, lectured on military affairs, reorganized weapons, and saved shirts.The soldiers of the people of Sichuan and Sichuan all admire his kindness.Time flies, unknowingly three years: the spring and February of the twelfth year of Jianxing Shi.Kong Ming entered the court and said: "I have kept the sergeant for three years now."Food and grass are plentiful, weapons are complete, and men and horses are strong: you can attack Wei.If you don't wipe out the traitorous party and restore the Central Plains this time, you will never see your majesty!The master of the post said: "Nowadays has become a tripartite force, and Wu and Wei have never been invaded by invaders. Why can't the father of the prime minister enjoy peace?"Kongming said: "I have received the kindness of the late emperor to know and meet, and in my dreams, I may have set up a strategy to attack Wei."Do your best to be loyal, to restore the Central Plains for Your Majesty, and to revitalize the Han Dynasty: the wish of the minister.Before he finished speaking, one of the squad members came out and said: "The prime minister must not raise troops."Everyone looked at it: it was Qiao Zhou.Exactly: Marquis Wu was exhausted but worried about the country, and Taishi knew the opportunity and talked about the sky.I don't know what Qiao Zhou said, let's see the breakdown below. ① Overhearing and mishearing. ② Tianpeng refers to Marshal Tianpeng, a god in ancient mythology. ③ The ancient myth of Shudi: Fei Changfang, a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, has immortal skills.In one day, you can meet people from several places thousands of miles away.Everyone said he had the ability to shrink the ground. ④ Must ask for a certain, necessary meaning. ⑤ Store condolences and pensions.
