However, Sima Yi reported, "I once told Your Majesty that Kongming must leave Chencang, so Hao Zhao guarded it. Now it is true. If he invaded Chencang, it would be very convenient to transport grain. Fortunately, Hao Zhao and Wang Shuang guarded him, so he did not dare to transport grain from here. The other roads were difficult to carry. I calculated that the Shu army had only one month of grain, and the advantage was to fight urgently. Our army should only guard for a long time. Your Majesty can issue an edict to order Cao Zhen to defend the passes and not to fight. There is no need for a month. Shu soldiers will go on their own. At that time, they will take advantage of the opportunity to attack him, and Zhuge Liang can capture him." Rui said happily: "Since you have the foresight, why not lead an army to attack him?" Yi said, "I am not cherishing my life and re-ordering, but I want to save this army to prevent Lu Xun of the Eastern Wu.

Sun Quan will soon be the one who is a pride; if you are a pride, you are afraid that Your Majesty will attack him, and you will definitely invade first: I therefore want to treat him with troops." In the right words, a close minister suddenly reported, "Governor Cao reported the military information." Yi said, "Your Majesty can ask Cao Zhen to be warned: Anyone who chases Shu soldiers, you must observe the virtuality and reality, and do not go deep into the important areas, and follow Zhuge Liang's plan." Rui immediately issued an edict and sent the Taichang minister Han Ji to warn Cao Zhen: "Don't fight, be careful; just wait for the Shu soldiers to retreat before attacking him." Sima Yi sent Han Ji outside the city and asked him, "I will give up Zi Dan with this merit; when the Duke saw Zi Dan, don't say that it was my intention, and only say that the emperor issued an edict and that conservatives should be the best. Those who pursue should be careful and do not let those who are impatient and irritable pursue him." Ji resigned.

However, Cao Zhen was promoted to the tent to discuss matters, and suddenly reported that the emperor sent the Taichang Qing Han Ji to the Jiejie. Zhen went out of the camp to get in. After receiving the imperial edict, he retreated to Guo Huai. Sun Li planned to discuss it. Huai laughed and said, "This is the view of Sima Zhongda." Zhen said, "What is this?" Huai said, "This is a deep understanding of Zhuge Liang's method of using troops. If he can control Shu soldiers in a long time, he must be Zhongda." Zhen said, "If Shu soldiers do not retreat, what will happen?" Huai said, "You can send someone to teach Wang Shuang secretly and lead troops to patrol the small roads. He dare not transport grain. When the food is gone, the soldiers retreat and take advantage of the situation to pursue them, you can win a complete victory." Sun Li said, "I went to Qishan Xuzhuang to serve as a grain transport soldier. The carriage was filled with dry firewood and thatch, and poured them with sulfur and yellow flames and salt, but he taught people

It was falsely reported that Longxi had arrived. If the people of Shu had no food, they would definitely come to rob. When they were in the middle, they set fire to the cart and responded with ambushing troops, and they could win." Zhenxi said, "This plan is wonderful!" Sun Li asked the troops to follow the plan. He also sent someone to teach Wang Shuang to lead troops to patrol the small road. Guo Huai led his troops to Jigu and Jieting, and ordered all the troops to guard the dangerous situation. Zhenxi also ordered Zhang Liaozi Zhang Hu as the vanguard, and Le Jinzi Le Guan as the deputy vanguard, and guarded the head camp together, and did not allow him to fight. However, Kong Ming was in Qishan Village, and people challenged every day, but the Wei soldiers could not stand. Kong Ming called Jiang Wei and others to discuss, "Wei soldiers could not stand, so it is believed that there is no food in our army. Now Chencang is not in transportation, and the other small roads are difficult to deal with,

I calculated that the food and grass of the army was not enough for a month, what should I do?" While hesitating, I suddenly reported: "The Wei army in Longxi transported thousands of grain trucks west of Qishan, and the grain transport officer was Sun Li." Kong Ming said: "How is that person?" A Wei person told: "This man had followed the Wei Lord to hunt on Dashi Mountain. Suddenly, a fierce tiger was raised and headed straight to the front of the imperial court. Sun Li got off his horse and pulled his sword to kill him. From then on, he was named General. He was Cao Zhen's confidant." Kong Ming smiled and said: "This is the Wei general who made me lack food, so he used this plan: the carriage loaded must be something that could lead to fire. I used fire to attack all my life, so he wanted to lure me with this plan? If he knew that our army would go to rob the grain truck, he would come to rob my camp. You can follow the plan and go.

"Then he called Ma Dai and said, "You lead three thousand troops to the place where the Wei soldiers stationed their grain. You should not enter the camp, but set fire to the limelight. If there is a carriage, the Wei soldiers will come to surround our camp." He sent Ma Zhong and Zhang Yi to lead five thousand troops to surround the outside and attack inside and outside. The three of them were trapped. He called Guan Xing and Zhang Bao said, "Wei soldiers headed up to four roads. If the fire broke out in the west mountain tonight, the Wei soldiers will come to rob our camp. You and the two of them lie on the side of the Wei soldiers, and just wait for their troops to leave the camp, and you can rob us." He called Wu Ban and Wu Yi said, "You and you will each lead one army to lie outside the camp. If the Wei soldiers arrive, you can intercept their return." After Kong Ming's division, he sat high on the Qishan Mountain.

When the Wei soldiers found out that the Shu soldiers were coming to rob the grain, they hurriedly reported to Sun Li. Li asked to report to Cao Zhen. Zhen sent someone to the Toutiao camp to pay Zhang Hu, and said, "Look at the fire in Shanxi tonight, the Shu soldiers will come to rescue him. You can go out of the army, so that's it." The two generals were trapped and asked to climb up the tower to see the fire. However, Sun Li hid the army in Shanxi and waited for the Shu soldiers to arrive. At the second update of the night, Ma Dai led three thousand soldiers, all of whom were holding a piece of horses, and they went straight to Shanxi. They saw many people.

The chariots were stacked and formed camps, and the chariots were inserted into flags. When the southwest wind was blowing, Dai ordered the soldiers to go to the south of the camp to set fire. The chariots were all over, and the fires soared into the sky. Sun Li only said that the Shu soldiers went to Wei Village to set fire, and hurriedly led the troops to cover them together. The drums and horns behind him were noisy, and two soldiers came to fight: it was Ma Zhong and Zhang Yi, who surrounded the Wei army in Gaixin. Sun Li was shocked. He heard the shouts from the Wei army, and a army came from the edge of the fire, which was Ma Dai.

The Wei soldiers were defeated. The fire was tight and the wind was fast, and the people and horses ran around, and countless dead were dead. Sun Li led the slandered army and suddenly smoked and fired. However, Zhang Hu was in the camp and saw the fire. He opened the gate of the village and led all the people and horses to the Shu camp. However, there was no one in the village. When he was urgently withdrawing the army, Wu Ban and Wu Yi fought out and cut off their way back. Zhang and Le rushed out of the encirclement and rushed back to the village. He saw arrows like locusts on the earthen city.

It turned out that he was attacked by Guan Xing and Zhang Bao. The Wei soldiers were defeated and all of them joined Cao Zhen's camp. When they wanted to enter the camp, they saw a defeated army rushing towards him. It was Sun Li. So they entered the camp together to see Zhen and talked about the matter of the plan. Zhen heard that he was cautious in guarding the big camp and did not go out to fight. The Shu soldiers won and returned to Kong Ming. Kong Ming sent someone to secretly teach Wei Yan, and while teaching him to set up the camp together. Yang Yi said, "I have won a great victory now, and the Wei soldiers are defeated, why do you want to withdraw the army?"

Kong Ming said: "My army has no food, and the profit is in urgent battle. Now that they cannot stand firm, I will suffer from his illness. Although they are temporarily defeated, the Central Plains will definitely be beneficial. If they attack my food route with light cavalry, they will not be able to return. Now, taking advantage of the new defeat of the Wei army and do not dare to look at the Shu army, they can take the opportunity to retreat. Those who are worried about Wei Yan's army refused to stop Wang Shuang at the intersection of Chencang Road, and they are in a hurry to escape. I have sent someone to teach you a secret plan to kill Wang Shuang, so that the Wei people dare not come to chase him. Only the team will go first in the future." That night, Kong Ming left only the Jingu guard in the camp to fight. The soldiers were exhausted overnight

He retreated and only fell into the camp. However, Cao Zhen was worried in the camp, and suddenly reported that the left general Zhang He led his army to the camp. He got off his horse and entered the tent, saying to Zhen, "I have received the imperial edict and come to listen to the order." Zhen said, "Have you ever separated from Zhongda?" He said, "Zhongda said: If our army wins, the Shu army will not be convenient to leave; if our army is defeated, the Shu army will be gone immediately. Now after our army loses, the governor has gone to the post to investigate the news of the Shu army?" Zhen said, "It's not." So he sent people to explore it. It was because of the empty camp, with only dozens of flags in it, and the troops had been gone for two days. Cao Zhen regretted it.

Let’s talk about Wei Yan’s secret plan. He pulled the camp back to Hanzhong at the second evening. He had already reported to Wang Shuang. Shuang drove the army and horses and chased them. He chased after him for more than twenty miles and saw Wei Yan’s flag in front of him. Shuang shouted, “Wei Yan don’t go!” The Shu soldiers did not even look back. Shuang slapped the horses and rushed over. The Wei soldiers behind him shouted, “The fire broke out in the village outside the city, and I’m afraid the enemy’s plan was a trick.” When Shuang quickly pulled back, he saw a fire rushing into the sky and ordered his troops to retreat. When he reached the left side of the hillside, he suddenly rode his horse out of the forest and shouted, “Wei Yan is here!”

Wang Shuang was shocked and caught off guard. He was chopped under the horse by Yan. The Wei soldiers suspected that there were ambushing and fled in all directions. Yan only had thirty cavalry under his command, and looked at Hanzhong to walk slowly. Later generations praised him, "Kong Ming's clever idea was to defeat Sun Pang, and his grudge was like a star shining on one side. The war spirit was unpredictable. Chen Cang Daokou killed Wang Shuang." It turned out that Wei Yan was secretly plotted by Kong Ming: first teach him to save thirty cavalry and lie on the side of Wang Shuang's camp; just wait for Wang Shuang to rise up and set fire to his camp; when he returned to the camp, he accidentally killed him. Wei Yan killed Wang Shuang, led his troops back to Hanzhong to see Kong Ming, and handed over the troops. Kong Ming held a banquet and held a banquet.

Let’s say that Zhang He did not pursue Shu troops and returned to the camp. Suddenly, Hao Zhao, Chen Cangcheng, sent someone to report that Wang Shuang was beheaded. Cao Zhen heard that he was sad, so he became sick, so he returned to Jiyang. He ordered Guo Huai, Sun Li and Zhang He to guard the Chang'an roads.

However, it was said that King Sun Quan of Wu set up a dynasty, and a detailed report was made: "Prime Minister Zhuge sent troops twice, and the Wei Governor Cao Zhen's troops were killed."

So all the ministers advised the King of Wu to launch an army to attack Wei to plan the Central Plains. The power was still hesitant. Zhang Zhao reported, "I heard that the phoenix came to the east mountain of Wuchang. In the river, Huanglong appeared repeatedly. The lord was morally matched with Tang, Yu, Ming and Wen, and could ascend the throne and then raise troops." Many officials responded, "Zi Bu said that this is what Zibu said." So he chose the April 1st of Xia, and built the altar in the southern suburbs of Wuchang. On that day, the ministers asked Quan to ascend the altar to ascend the throne, and changed the eighth year of Huangwu to the first year of Huanglong. He posthumously named his father Sun Jian as Emperor Wu, his mother Wu as Empress Wu, and his brother Sun Ce as King Huan of Changsha. He made his son Sun Deng the crown prince. Zhuge Jin's eldest son Zhuge Ke was appointed as the crown prince Zuofu, and Zhang Zhao's second son Zhang Ti was appointed as the crown prince Youbi.

Ke's name is Yuanxun, seven feet long, very smart, and good at dealing with it. Quan loved him very much. At the age of six, he was at a banquet in the Eastern Wu Dynasty. Ke followed his father at the seat. Quan saw Zhuge Jin's face long, so he asked someone to lead a donkey and wrote his face with chalk, saying, "Zhuge Ziyu". Everyone laughed. Ke walked forward and took chalk and added two words under him and said, "Zhuge Ziyu's donkey". Everyone in the seat was surprised. Quan was very happy and gave it to him. Another day, the bureaucrats feasted, Quan ordered Ke to take the order.

Zhang Zhao came to Zhang Zhao, but Zhao refused to drink, saying, "This is not a ritual for elderly care." Quan said to Ke, "Can you strongly drink with your son?" Ke received the order, and said to Zhao, "In the past, Jiang Shang's father was ninety years old and was holding a chasing, but he never said he was old. On the day of the battle, the gentleman was behind; on the day of drinking, the gentleman was ahead: What does not mean to support elderly care?" Zhao had no words to answer, so he had to drink forcibly. Therefore, Quan loved him, so he ordered the prince to assist the prince. Zhang Zhao assisted the King of Wu and was ranked above the Three Dukes, so

His son Zhang Xiu was the crown prince Youbi. He also appointed Gu Yong as the prime minister and Lu Xun as the general, assisting the crown prince to guard Wuchang. Quan returned to Jianye. The ministers discussed strategies for attacking Wei. Zhang Zhao reported: "Your Majesty had just ascended the throne, but he had not been able to move troops. He should only cultivate literature and detain martial arts and set up schools to calm the people's hearts; send envoys to Sichuan, join the alliance with Shu, and share the world and slowly plan for it." Quan followed his words and asked the mission to enter Sichuan at night to meet the next master. After the ceremony, he reported the incident in detail.

When he learned about it, he discussed with all the ministers. All the congressmen said that Sun Quan was usurped and should be dismissed. Jiang Wan said, "You can ask the Prime Minister." The Later Lord immediately sent an envoy to Hanzhong to ask Kong Ming. Kong Ming said, "You can bring gifts to Wu to congratulate him, and beg Lu Xun to launch an army to attack Wei. Wei will order Sima Yi to reject him. If Yi resists Eastern Wu in the south, I will go to Qishan again, and Chang'an can be congratulated." The Later Lord followed the words and ordered the Grand Marshal Chen Zhen to join the name of Ma, Jade belt, Golden Pearl, and treasure to enter Wu to congratulate him.

When he arrived in Eastern Wu, he saw Sun Quan and submitted a letter to the country. Quan was very happy and held a banquet to treat him, and sent him back to Shu. Quan summoned Lu Xun to come in and told him about the appointment of Western Shu to launch an army to attack Wei. Xun said, "This is Kong Ming was afraid of Sima Yi's plan. Since he was in an alliance, he had to follow him. Now he was in a weak position to raise an army and responded to Western Shu. When Kong Ming attacked Wei urgently, I can take advantage of the opportunity to take the Central Plains." He immediately ordered that people be trained everywhere in Jingxiang and choose a day to build a military army.

But Chen Zhen returned to Hanzhong and reported to Kong Ming. Kong Ming was worried that Chen Cang would not go lightly, so he sent him to the sentry to investigate first. He replied: "Hao Zhao in Chen Cang City is seriously ill." Kong Ming said: "The great thing is done." So he called Wei Yan, and Jiang Wei said: "You two lead 5,000 soldiers and head straight to Chen Cang City at night. If you see a fire, you will attack the city." The two of them did not believe it deeply, and came and said: "When will it be done?" Kong Ming said: "It will be completed in three days; you don't need to refuse me, and you will start." The two were plotted and left.

. He called Guan Xing again, and Zhang Bao arrived, and said with a deep voice. They both took secret plans and left. And Guo Huai heard that Hao Zhao was seriously ill, so he discussed with Zhang He and said, "Hao Zhao was seriously ill. You can go and serve him quickly. I will write a letter to the court and make a decision." Zhang He led three thousand soldiers to replace Hao Zhao. At that time, Hao Zhao was critically ill. When he was moaning that night, he suddenly reported that the Shu army had arrived at the city. Zhao was anxious to send a fire to the city guard. At that time, the city was in chaos. Zhao heard that he was shocked. Shu soldiers rushed into the city.

But when Wei Yan and Jiang Wei led their troops to Chencang City, they did not see a single flag, and there was no one to attack the city. The two were shocked and suspicious and did not dare to attack the city. Suddenly, they heard a cannon sound on the city, and four flags were erected. One man saw a feather fan, a crane flap, and a Taoist robe, shouting, "You two are late!" The two looked at it, and it was Kong Ming. The two hurriedly dismounted and bowed to the ground and said, "The Prime Minister is the real magic plan!" Kong Ming ordered him to put it in

The city said to the two of them, "I found out that Hao Zhao was seriously ill. I ordered you to lead troops to capture the city within three days. This is to stabilize the hearts of everyone. But I ordered Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to push the army and secretly leave Hanzhong. I hid in the army and went straight to the city from Xingye, so that they could not dispatch troops. I had already made a careful move in the city and set fire in the city and shouted for help, which made the Wei soldiers feel unstable. If there is no leader, I will be in chaos. Therefore, I took it, and it would be easy to turn my hands.

The military strategy says: If you are unintentional, you will be unprepared to attack him. This is exactly what it means." Wei Yan and Jiang Wei bowed. Kong Ming felt sorry for Hao Zhao's death and ordered his wife to carry the coffin back to Wei to show his loyalty. Kong Ming said to Wei Yan and Jiang Wei said, "Don't remove your armor from both of you, you can lead your troops to attack Sanguan. If the person who is guarding the gate knows that the troops arrive, he will be frightened. If the Wei soldiers arrive at the gate a little later, it will be difficult to attack." Wei Yan and Jiang Wei received the order and led their troops to Sanguan.

As expected, all the people who were in the gate were gone. They were about to take off their armor when they saw the dust rising outside the gate, and the Wei soldiers arrived. The two said to each other, "The Prime Minister's magical calculations are unpredictable!" They rushed to the tower to look at it, and it was Zhang He, the general of Wei. The two divided their troops to defend the dangerous road. Zhang He saw that the Shu soldiers were holding the important road, so he ordered the troops to retreat. Wei Yan then chased for a while, and countless Wei soldiers died, and Zhang He was defeated and left. Yan returned to the gate and sent him to report to Kong Ming.

Kong Ming first led his troops out of Chencangxigu and took Jianwei. Later, Shu soldiers advanced one after another. The latter emperor ordered the general Chen Shi to help.

Kong Ming drove the troops back to Qi. Anxia camp, Kong Ming gathered people and said, "I went to Qishan twice, but I didn't get the benefits. Now I'm here again. I think the Wei people will still be in the same place as the war and fight against me. He thought that I would take Yong and Qi. He would definitely resist guarding the two places. I looked at Yinping and Wudu and connected with Han. If I got this city, I could also divide the Wei soldiers' momentum. Who dares to take it?" Jiang Wei said, "I would like to go." Wang Ping replied, "I would like to go too." Kong Ming was very happy and ordered Jiang Wei to lead 10,000 troops to take Wudu, and Wang Ping led 10,000 troops to take Yinping. The two led their troops away.

Besides, Zhang He returned to Chang'an and saw Guo Huai and Sun Li, and said, "Chen Cang has been lost, Hao Zhao has been destroyed, and Sanguan has also been seized by Shu soldiers.

Now Kong Ming went out of Qishan again and advanced his troops in different ways." Huai was shocked and said, "If this is the case, you will definitely take Yong, and Ji!" He then left Zhang He to guard Chang'an and ordered Sun Li to protect Yongcheng. Huai led his troops to defend Qicheng at night, and while he was on the verge of entering Luoyang to inquire.

However, it was said that the Wei lord Cao Rui set up a court, and his close ministers reported, "Chen Cang City has been lost, Hao Zhao has been destroyed, Zhuge Liang has gone out to Qishan again, and Sanguan has also been seized by Shu soldiers." Rui was shocked. Suddenly, he reported to Man Chong and others that he had reported, saying, "Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu usurped the title of emperor and was in alliance with Shu. Now he sent Lu Xun to train his troops in Wuchang and wait for the call. Only in the evening, he will invade." Rui heard that he knew the two places were in danger and was in a dilemma and was very panicked. At this time, Cao Zhen had not recovered from illness, so he summoned Sima Yi to discuss. Yi reported, "It is my foolish intention that

, Eastern Wu must not raise troops." Rui said, "How do you know?" Yi said, "Kongming once thought of avenging the revenge of the sacred pavilion, not because he did not want to swallow Wu, but because he was afraid that the Central Plains would take advantage of the situation to attack him, so he temporarily formed an alliance with Eastern Wu. Lu Xun also knew his intention, so he pretended to launch an army to respond to it, which was actually a place to observe success or failure. Your Majesty did not have to guard against Wu, but only to guard against Shu." Rui said, "You are so arrogant!" So he appointed Yi as the Grand Governor, and took charge of the troops and horses of the Longxi lineups, and ordered his close ministers to take the general Cao Zhen's general seal. Yi said, "I will go and take it."

Then he left the emperor and went straight to Cao Zhen's mansion. He first sent him to the mansion to report to him. Yi was about to come to see him. After asking about his illness, Yi said, "Eastern Wu, Western Shu meet, and launches troops to invade. Now Kongming goes out to the Qishan camp again. Does Ming Gong know?" Zhen was surprised and said, "My family knows that I am seriously ill and do not let me know. It seems that the country is in danger. Why not take Zhongda as the governor to retreat to Shu soldiers?" Yi said, "I have little talent and wisdom, so I will not be called his position." Zhen said, "Take the seal and go to the army."

Zhongda." Yi said, "Governor is worried. I am willing to help you, but I dare not accept this seal." Zhen jumped up and said, "If Zhongda does not take this position, China will be in danger! I should see the emperor to protect him when I am sick! Yi said, "The emperor has already had a good deed, but Yi dare not accept it." Zhen was overjoyed and said, "Zhongda is now in charge of this position, so he can retreat to the Shu army." Yi saw that Zhen gave the seal again and again, so he accepted it. He went inside and resigned from the Lord of Wei and led his troops to Chang'an to fight against Kong Ming in a decisive battle.
Chapter completed!
