The ninety-seventh time, the court of Wei State Wuhou and then on the table
However, in September of the autumn of the sixth year of Jianxing in Shu Han, the Wei governor Cao Xiu was defeated by Lu Xun of the Eastern Wu in Shiting. He was exhausted. Xiu was very frightened and became sick. He went to Luoyang and died of ulceration. Cao Rui, the leader of Wei, ordered a grand funeral. Sima Yi led his troops back and asked, "The defeat of the governor Cao is the relationship between the marshal, why are he going back urgently?" Yi said, "I think Zhuge Liang knew that my army was defeated and he would take advantage of the opportunity to come to Chang'an. If Longxi is in urgent need, who will save him? I will return." Everyone thought it was afraid and timid, and laughed and retreated.
However, Eastern Wu sent envoys to write to Shuzhong, asking for troops to attack Wei, and saying that Cao Xiu was defeated: one is to show his might, and the other is to be in harmony and the Lord was very happy. The latter master was very happy and asked to hold the letter to Hanzhong to report to Kong Ming. At that time, Kong Ming was strong and strong, with abundant food and grass, and everything he used was complete. He was about to go out. He heard this letter, and he held a banquet for the generals and planned to go out. Suddenly, a strong wind rose from the northeast corner and broke the pine trees in front of the courtyard. Everyone was shocked. Kong Ming took a lesson and said, "This wind is the Lord to lose a great general!" The generals did not believe it. While drinking, he suddenly reported to General Zhao Yun, the eldest son of Zhao Tong and the second son of Zhao Guang, who came to see the prime minister. Kong Ming was shocked and threw a cup to the ground and said, "Son,
The dragon is over!" The two sons came in and cried and said, "My father died of illness at midnight last night." Kong Ming fell and cried, "Zilong died, and the country was damaged by a pillar. I will leave one arm!" All the generals shuddered. Kong Ming ordered the two sons to enter Chengdu to face the king's death. When the later lord heard Yun's death, he burst into tears and said, "I was young in the past, but I had not died in the chaos of the army!" He immediately issued an edict to posthumous general, posthumously named Shunping Hou, and was buried in the east of Jinping Mountain in Chengdu; a temple was established, and the sacrifice was enjoyed in all seasons. Later generations wrote a poem saying, "There is a tiger general in Changshan, who is wise and brave. The Han River is in great honor, and the surname of Dangyang is Zhang. He supported the young master twice, and answered the old emperor in one thought. The loyal and wise man in history should flow for hundreds of generations."
However, the Later Lord missed Zhao Yun's past achievements and was very generous in his burial; he appointed Zhao Tong as the Hu Ben Zhonglang, Zhao Guang as the gatekeeper of Ya, and ordered him to guard the tomb. The two of them resigned and left. Suddenly, the close minister reported, "The general of Zhuge, the general of the horse has been settled, and he will go out to attack Wei." The Later Lord asked the ministers in court, but the ministers said many words could not be moved lightly. The Later Lord was doubtful. Suddenly, the Prime Minister ordered Yang Yi to come with the letter of the army. The Later Lord should come in, and Yi presented the letter. The Later Lord took the imperial case and looked at it, and his statement said, "The former emperor was worried that the Han thieves would not be in harmony, and the king's work was not biased.
Therefore, I entrust my ministers to fight against the thieves. With the wisdom of the previous emperor and the talent of the ministers, I know that the ministers attack the thieves, and the talent is weak and the enemy is strong. However, if I do not attack the thieves, the king's career will also be destroyed. But if I sit and wait for the destruction, who will attack them? Therefore, I entrust my ministers to not doubt it. On the day of my appointment, I sleep and slept, and I will not be willing to eat. I think the northern expedition should go to the south first: Therefore, I crossed Shanghai in May, and went deep into the barren, and ate the sun. - I am not willing to cherish myself, and I should not be content with the capital of Shu, so I have to take risks and follow the legacy of the previous emperor. But those who discuss it said that it is not a plan. Now the thieves are tired
In the west, he also works in the east, and his military strategy is "taking advantage": this is the time of advancing. I am very careful to explain his affairs: Emperor Gao is wise and the sun and the moon, and his counselors are deep, but they are in danger and are in danger. Now that your Majesty has not met Emperor Gao, his counselors are not as good as good as good and peaceful, and he wants to win with a long strategy and settle the world. This is the unresolved one of the ministers. Liu Yao and Wang Lang each occupy the prefectures and counties, discuss the peace and the plan, and they motivate the saints to be full of doubts and the crowd is difficult to block their chests. If there is no war this year, he will not fight next year, so Sun Quan will be the great one, so he will be merged with Jiangdong. This is the unresolved two of the ministers.
Cao Cao was very smart and extremely capable, and his use of troops was like Sun and Wu, but he was trapped in Nanyang, dangerous in Wuchao, dangerous in Qilian, and forced in Liyang. He almost lost Beishan and died in Tongguan, and then he pretended to be determined for a while. Moreover, his talent was weak and he wanted to determine it in order to be unsafe. This was the three things that were not resolved by Cao Cao. Cao Cao attacked Changba for five times, and failed to cross Chaohu four times, so he appointed Li Fu and planned it, and appointed Xiahou and Xiahou was defeated. The last emperor always called Cao Cao a capable person, but he still had this loss. Moreover, how could he win if he was slow? This was the four things that were not resolved by his ministers.
From the time I arrived in Hanzhong, I was in the middle of my life, but I lost Zhao Yun, Yang Qun, Ma Yu, Yan Zhi, Ding Li, Bai Shou, Liu He, Deng Tong, etc., and more than 70 generals of Quchangtun. Suddenly, the generals were in front of me, and more than 1,000 people of the scattered cavalry and martial cavalry. These were all within decades, and the elite forces of all directions were not owned by one state. If they were to be reborn for several years, they would lose two-thirds. - How should I seek the enemy? This is the five people who have not been resolved. Now the people are exhausted and the soldiers are exhausted, but the matter cannot be stopped; if the matter cannot be stopped, then the residence and the operation are carried out, and the labor costs are equal;
But it is not as good as the current plan, and I want to use a state to last for a long time with the bandits. This is the fact that the minister has not resolved the six things. It is difficult to settle the matter. The former emperor defeated the army in Chu. At this time, Cao Cao fought and said that the world had been settled. ——Then the former emperor connected Wu, Yue, took Ba, Shu in the east, raised troops in the west, and Xiahou was the leader. This was Cao's mistake, and Han affairs were about to be accomplished. —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
It is not something that my ministers can see." The post of the post was very happy and ordered Kong Ming to go out. Kong Ming was ordered to raise 300,000 elite troops and ordered the vanguard of the front of the governor of Wei Yan to come to Chencang Road. There was a detailed report to Luoyang. Sima Yi reported to the master of Wei and held a meeting of civil and military discussions. General Cao Zhen came out to report to him, "I was guarding Longxi yesterday, and I was very guilty, and I was afraid. Now I am asking the army to capture Zhuge Liang. I have obtained a general who has sent a 60-pound sword and rode a thousand miles to conquer a horse and a two-stone iron-body bow
There were three meteor hammers hidden, and they were all over the world, and they were brave enough to be a thousand men. They were the ones Di Daoist in Longxi, with the surname Wang, his name was Shuang, and his courtesy name Ziquan. I promised this man to be the vanguard." Rui was overjoyed and summoned Wang Shuang to the palace. He looked at him with a nine-foot-long body, black face, yellow eyes, and a bear waist and tiger back. Rui smiled and said, "What are you worried about when I got this general!" He then gave him brocade robes and golden armor, and was named General Tiger Power, and the vanguard in front. Cao Zhen was the great commander-in-chief. Zhen thanked him for his kindness and went out to court, so he led 150,000 elite troops to meet Guo Huai and Zhang He, and guard the pass in different ways.
But the Shu soldiers sent a troop to Chencang and returned to Kong Ming, saying, "A city has been built at Chencangkou, with general Hao Zhao guarding the commander, deep ditches and high trenches, and deer antlers are everywhere, which is very strict. It is better to abandon this city and leave Qishan from Taibailing Bird Road." Kong Ming said, "The north of Chencang is Jieting; this city must be obtained before the army can advance." Wei Yan ordered to lead his troops to the city and attack it from all sides. He could not break for several days. Wei Yan came to tell Kong Ming again, saying that the city was difficult.
Kong Ming was furious and wanted to kill Wei Yan. Suddenly, a man from the tent told him, "Although I have no talent, I have been with the Prime Minister for many years, but have not received any response. I am willing to go to Chencang City and say that Hao Zhao will surrender, so I don't need to use a bow and only arrows." Everyone looked at him, and then the subordinate Jin Xiang was Jin Xiang. Kong Ming said, "What do you mean to say?" Xiang said, "Hao Zhao and I are both from Longxi, and have been in contact since childhood. Now I have arrived there and talk about the benefits and disadvantages, and I will surrender." Kong Ming immediately ordered him to go.
Jin Xiang suddenly came to the city and shouted, "Hao Bodao, the old friend Jin Xiang is here to see him." The man from the city reported to Hao Zhao. Zhao ordered the door to be opened and put it in, and went to the city to meet him. Zhao asked, "Why did the old friend come here?" Xiang said, "I am under the tent of Kongming in Western Shu, counseling military affairs, waiting for the courtesy of the above guests. I ordered someone to come to see the Duke, and there was a message to him." Zhao changed his color and said, "Zhuge Liang is the enemy of our country! I am in Wei, you are in Shu, and each of them is his master. He was Kunzhong in the past, and now he is now Kunzhong.
Be an enemy! You don’t have to say much, so please leave the city!" Jin Xiang wanted to speak again, but Hao Zhao had already left the enemy tower. The Wei army hurriedly urged him to get on the horse and drove him out of the city. Xiang turned around and saw Zhao leaning on his heart and protecting his heart wooden railing. Xiang pulled his horse and pointed at him with a whip and said, "Bo Dao, why are you so affectionate?" Zhao said, "The laws of the State of Wei are known to me. I have received the favor of the country, but I have to die, so I don’t have to say anything. I will see Zhuge Liang early and come to attack the city quickly, so I am not afraid!"
Xiang replied to Kong Ming, "Hao Zhao stopped him before he could speak." Kong Ming said, "You can go to see him again and talk about his interests." Xiang went to the city again and asked Hao Zhao to meet him. Zhao went out to the enemy's building. Xiang pulled his horse and shouted, "Bo Dao brother, listen to my loyal words: You are guarding an isolated city, how can you reject hundreds of thousands of people? If you don't surrender early, you will regret it! And you are not in accordance with the Han Dynasty and are engaged in the traitor of Wei, why don't you know the destiny of heaven and not distinguish the tranquility of the treacherous? May Bo Dao think about it." Hao Zhao was furious, picked up a bow and arrow, pointed at Jin Xiang and shouted, "My preface has been settled, you don't have to say anything again! You can retreat quickly! I won't shoot you!"
Jin Xiang returned to Kong Ming and said that Hao Zhao was like this. Kong Ming was furious and said, "A man is too rude! How can I deceive me without any tools to attack the city?" The natives asked, "How many people are there in Chencang City?" The natives said, "Although I don't know, there are about 3,000 people." Kong Ming smiled and said, "How can I control this small city? Don't wait for his rescue to arrive and attack them quickly!" So a hundred riders were formed in the army. One of them could erect more than a dozen people, and the surroundings were covered with wooden boards. The soldiers each set up a short ladder and soft rope, listened to the drums in the army, and went up to the city together. Hao Zhao was on the enemy's building and saw the Shu soldiers equipped with cloud ladders and came from all directions, and ordered three thousand troops to carry rockets and spread them on all sides; when the cloud ladder was approaching the city
, and shot it together. Kong Ming only said that there was no preparation in the city, so he built a large cloud ladder, which made the three armies go up and shouted. Unexpectedly, rockets were launched in the city, and all the ladders were caught. Most of the soldiers on the ladder were burned to death. The arrows and stones on the city were like rain, and all the Shu soldiers retreated. Kong Ming was furious and said, "You burn my cloud ladder, but I use the method of rushing to rush the car!" So he arranged to get off the car overnight. The next day, he shouted and went up and went up. Hao Zhao was desperate to be the stone of his fate and used a kiln rope to pierce the flying flying, and all the rushing cars were discounted. Kong Ming also asked the soil to fill the moat and taught Liao Hua to lead three thousand shovel troops to dig tunnels at night and secretly into the city. Hao Zhao dug heavy moats in the city and cut across it. He attacked each other day and night for more than twenty days, and there was no way to break it.
Kong Ming was worried in the camp and suddenly reported: "The rescuers from the east have arrived, and the flag reads: 'Wang Shuang, the general of Wei's vanguard," Kong Ming asked, "Who can welcome him?" Wei Yan came out and said, "I am willing to go." Kong Ming said, "You are the general of pioneers and not go out easily." He asked, "Who dares to welcome him?" Deputy General Xie Xiong responded. Kong Ming and the three thousand troops left. Kong Ming asked again, "Who dares to go again?"
The deputy general Gong Qi was about to leave. Kong Ming and three thousand soldiers also left. Kong Ming was afraid that Hao Zhao led his troops out in the city, so he retreated twenty miles to the camp.
But Xie Xiong led his army forward and met Wang Shuang. He was killed by Shuang. The Shu army was defeated and left, and Shuang then rushed over. Gong Qi then handed over the horse to three times and was killed by Shuang. The defeated soldiers returned to Kong Ming. Kong Ming was shocked and hurriedly ordered Liao Hua, Wang Ping and Zhang Yi to come out to meet. Two rounds, Zhang Yi came out, Wang Ping and Liao Hua suppressed the formation. Wang Shuang led the horse to fight Zhang Yi, but the winner was not determined in several matches. Shuang pretended to be defeated and left, and then rushed to the scene. Wang Ping saw that Zhang Yi was trapped.
Hurryingly shouted, "Don't drive!" When Yi rushed back, Wang Shuang meteor hammer arrived early, and hit his back. Wei hid his saddle and walked away. Shuang Shuang horses rushed back. Wang Ping and Liao Hua intercepted him and saved Zhang Shuang's return to the formation. Wang Shuang drove his soldiers for a long time, and many of the Shu soldiers were injured. Wei vomited blood several times, and returned to Kong Ming and said, "Wang Shuang's hero is invincible; now he will put 20,000 soldiers in the camp outside Chencang City, set up a row of briquettes around, build a heavy city, dig deep trenches, and defended very strictly." Seeing that the two generals, Zhang Shuang again
He was injured and called Jiang Wei, saying, "This road at the intersection of Chencang Road is not feasible. What strategy should I ask for?" Wei said, "Chencang City is solid, Hao Zhao guards very closely, and he is helping Wang Shuang. It is not advisable to order a general to stay in the mountains and rivers to defend the village; then ask good generals to guard the important roads to prevent Jieting from attacking; but command the army to attack Qishan, but use such a plan to capture Cao Zhen." Kong Ming followed his words and ordered Wang Ping and Li Hui to lead two soldiers to guard the Jieting road.
; Wei Yan led an army to guard Chencangkou. Ma Dai was the vanguard, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were the front and back rescue commanders, and went out of the path to look at Qishan. However, Cao Zhen thought that Sima Yi had seized the merits of the previous period, so he went to Luoyang to transfer Guo Huai and Sun Li to the east and west guards. When Chencang heard that Chencang was in a hurry, he ordered Wang Shuang to go to rescue him. He heard that Wang Shuang had killed the general and made great contributions, so he ordered Fei Yao, the general of the Central Guard, to take charge of the front governor, and the generals guarded the pass. Suddenly, he reported that he had captured the valley and came to see him.
Cao Zhen ordered the escort and knelt in front of the tent. The man told him, "The villain is not a spy. If he had a secret meeting with the governor, he was caught by the vassal army and begged to retreat to the left and right." Zhen then taught him to remove him and retreat temporarily. The man said, "The villain is Jiang Bo's confidant. He was sent to him by his official. "The book is here?" The man took it out of the flesh-clad clothes and presented it to him. Zhen said, "The crime general Jiang Wei bowed a hundred times, and the book was presented to the commander of the Grand Governor Cao: Wei thought about the world's food for Wei Lu, guarding the border city; he had no way to repay him. Yesterday, he was accidentally trapped by Zhuge Liang's plan and fell on the cliff. Missing the old country, how long will he forget it? Now fortunately, the Shu soldiers went west, and Zhuge Liang did not doubt it. The governor personally brought the army to him: If he met an enemy, he could be defeated; Wei should be in the back, and he should raise fire as a call to burn the food and grass of Shu people first.
But with a large army overturned, Zhuge Liang could capture him. He did not dare to make meritorious service to the country, but wanted to redeem his previous crimes. If he was inspected, he would give him a quick order." After reading it, Cao Zhen was overjoyed and said, "I am the angel!" He then rewarded the visitor heavily, and ordered him to return it and met according to the schedule. Zhen called Fei Yao to discuss and said, "Now Jiang Wei secretly presented a secret letter to me, so I will do this." Yao said, "Zhuge Liang is very resourceful, Jiang Wei is wise, or Zhuge Liang is instructed, and I am afraid there is a deception in it." Zhen said, "He was originally a Wei person, and he had to surrender to Shu, so why doubt?" Yao said, "The governor should not go lightly, but only guard the village. I would like to lead an army to meet Jiang Wei. If he succeeds, he will return to the governor; if there is a treacherous plan, he will do it himself." Zhen was overjoyed, so he ordered Fei Yao to lead 50,000 troops to look at the slanting valley and advance for two or three times, and stationed the army below
The horse was sent to the whistle. On the same day, he reported: "There are Shu soldiers coming in the slid valley road." Yao hurriedly urged the troops to advance. Before the battle was reached, Yao led the troops to chase them, and the Shu soldiers came again. Fang wanted to fight, but the Shu soldiers retreated again: This happened three times, and Russia was postponed to the next day Shen. The Wei army did not dare to stop for a day and night, but only feared that the Shu soldiers attacked. Fang wanted to station the army to make rice, but suddenly shouted loudly from all sides, drums and horns were ringing, and Shu soldiers came all over the mountains. At the opening of the door flag, a four-wheeled cart flashed out, Kong Ming sat upright and asked the Wei general to answer. Yao rode out and saw Kong Ming from a distance, and saw Kong Ming secretly happy. He looked back and said, "If the Shu soldiers were blocking, they would retreat and go back. If they saw a fire behind the mountain, they turned around and killed him, and there would be soldiers to respond." After paying the tax, he jumped out and shouted, "The former is defeated,
How dare you come again now!" Kong Ming said, "Cao Zhen to answer!" Yao cursed, "Governor Cao has golden branches and jade leaves, can you meet the thief?" Kong Ming was furious and waved his feather fan. There was Ma Dai on the left and Zhang Yi on the right. Two soldiers rushed out. The Wei soldiers retreated. After walking less than thirty miles, they saw the fire on the back of the Shu soldiers and shouted endlessly. Fei Yao only called Huo, so he turned around and came to fight. The Shu soldiers retreated. Yao held a knife in front of him, just looking for the shouting place to chase. The general was approaching, and the drums and horns in the mountain road were noisy, and the shouts were shocked. The two armies rushed out: Guanxing on the left and Zhang Bao on the right. The arrows and stones on the mountain were like rain, shooting down. The Wei soldiers were defeated. Fei Yao knew that he was trapped and retreated quickly and walked away in the valley, with the lack of people and horses. Guanxing behind him led his troops to come. The Wei soldiers trampled on each other and died in the stream. There were countless people who died.
Yao ran away and met a army at the corner of Shanpo, which was Jiang Wei. Yao cursed and said, "The rebels have no faith! Unfortunately, I was mistaken for your treacherous plan!" Wei laughed and said, "I want to capture Cao Zhen, and I will make you a mistake! Get off the horse and surrender!" Yao suddenly took the road and walked into the valley.
Suddenly, the fire at the entrance of the valley surged into the sky, and the pursuers came from behind. Yao committed suicide and all the rest surrendered. Kong Ming drove the troops overnight, went straight to the front of Qishan, took the army and rewarded Jiang Wei. Wei said, "I wish I could kill Cao Zhen!" Kong Ming also said, "It's a pity that the big plan is used in vain."
However, Cao Zhen heard that Fei Yao was defeated and regretted it, so he discussed with Guo Huai's plan to withdraw the army. So Sun Li and Xin Pixing made a letter to report to the Wei Lord at night, saying that Shu soldiers went out to Qishan again, Cao Zhen lost his troops and generals, and the situation was very critical. Rui was shocked and summoned Sima Yi inside and said, "Cao Zhen lost his troops and generals, and Shu soldiers went out to Qishan again. What strategy do you have to retreat?" Yi said, "I have already had a plan to retreat Zhuge Liang. If the Wei army does not need to promote the power of the martial arts, the Shu soldiers will naturally leave."
Chapter completed!
