The Hundred and Thirteenth Chapter: Sima in Shangfang Valley is Trapped, Zhuge Star in Wuzhangyuan
However, Sima Yi was defeated by Zhang Yi, and Liao Hua was defeated by a horse, and walked away from the dense forest. Zhang Yi held the rear army and Liao Hua was the first to chase. Look at it, Yi panicked and turned around the tree. Hua cut off with a knife, and was chopping it on the tree. When he pulled out the knife, Yi had already walked out of the forest. Liao Hua then drove out, but he was missing. But he saw a golden helmet falling from the east of the woods. Liao Hua took the helmet and took it to chase the east. It turned out that Sima Yi abandoned the golden helmet at Lin Dong, but walked westward. Liao Hua chased for a long time, but he ran out of the valley entrance, met Jiang Wei, and returned to the village to see Kong Ming. Zhang Yi drove the wooden ox and flowing horses to the village. The delivery was finished and he received more than 10,000 stones of grain. Liao Hua offered the golden helmet and recorded it as the first merit. Wei Yan was unhappy and complained. Kong Ming only did not know.
Let’s talk about Sima Yi’s escape to the camp and was very upset. Suddenly, he sent an edict to arrive, saying that the three routes of Eastern Wu had invaded, and the court made a decision to order the general to resist the enemy, and ordered Yi and others to hold on without fighting. Yi had finished his order, and the deep ditch and high base were still high, so he could not stand.
However, Cao Rui heard that Sun Quan had divided his troops into three groups, and also raised his troops to welcome him in three groups: He ordered Liu Shao to lead his troops to rescue Jiangxia, Tian Yu to rescue Xiangyang, Rui and Man Chong led his army to rescue Hefei. Man Chong first led his army to Chaohukou, and saw countless warships on the east bank and the flags were purged. Chong entered the army and told the Lord of Wei, "The people of Wu must be careless of me coming from afar, and have not prepared. Tonight, he can take advantage of the robbery of the water camp and will win the complete victory." The Lord of Wei said, "You say you are right and the Lord of Wei. I mean." The general Zhang Qiu led 5,000 soldiers, each with fire tools, and attacked them from Hukou; Man Chong led 5,000 soldiers and attacked them from the east bank. At the second update of that night, Zhang Qiu and Man Chong led their troops to quietly look at Hukou; approaching the water camp, they shouted and rushed in. The Wu soldiers were panicked and left without fighting; they were fired by the Wei army, burning countless warships, food, and utensils. Zhuge Jin led the defeated soldiers to escape from Miankou. The Wei soldiers returned with great victory.
The next day, the sentry army reported to Lu Xun. Xun gathered all the generals to discuss, "I should report to the Lord as a letter to the Lord, and ask to withdraw the siege of Xincheng and use troops to cut off the Wei army's return route. I will lead the crowd to attack him: the head and tail is defeated, and one drum can be broken." The crowd was convinced by his words. Lu Xun immediately wrote a letter and sent a small school to take the secret land to Xincheng. The small school received the order and took the letter to the ferry. He walked to the ferry, but was caught by the Wei army's hidden road. He went to the army to see the Wei lord Cao Rui. Rui found Lu Xun's letter to read it. , sighed and said, "Lu Xun of Eastern Wu is really a clever plan!" Then he ordered the generals of Wu to supervise him and ordered Liu Shao to guard against the soldiers of Sun Quan. However, Zhuge Jin was defeated and was in the summer. Many people and horses became sick. So he wrote a letter and sent him to Lu Xun, and he wanted to withdraw his troops and return to the country. After reading the book, Xun said to the visitor, "I have my own idea." The envoy replied to Zhuge Jin. Jin asked, "What are the actions of General Lu?" The envoy said, "I just saw General Lu urged the supervisor to be supervised." Everyone planted beans and beans outside the camp, and they were shooting with the generals at the gate. "Jin was shocked and went to Lu Xun's camp in person, met Xun, and asked, "Now Cao Rui has come in person, and the army is very strong, how can the governor control it?" Xun said, "I sent someone to express it to the master, but I didn't expect it to be obtained by the enemy. Once the plan was blew away, he would know the preparations; it would be useless to fight, so it would be better to retreat. I have sent someone to express it to the master to slowly retreat the troops." Jin said, "As the governor has this intention, it is better to hurry up and Why delay the retreat? Xun said: "My army wants to retreat, and it should move slowly. If we retreat now, the Wei people must take advantage of the situation to chase after him: this is the way to defeat. You should first supervise the ships to deceive the enemy. I will advance to Xiangyang with people and horses, as a plan to suspect the enemy, and then slowly retreat to Jiangdong. The Wei soldiers dare not approach him." Jin followed his plan, resigned Xun and returned to the base camp, rectified the ships, and prepared to set off. Lu Xun purged his troops, promoted the momentum, and hoped that Xiangyang would advance.
There was a long time to report to the Lord Wei, saying that the Wu army had moved, so he had to be wary. When the generals of Wei heard that, they all wanted to go to fight. The Lord Wei knew Lu Xun's talent and told the generals, "Lu Xun has a plan, can he use the strategy of luring the enemy? You should not advance lightly." The generals stopped. A few days later, the whistlemen reported: "The three troops and horses of the Eastern Wu have retreated." The Lord Wei did not believe it, and sent him to explore it again, and the rewards were all retreated. The Lord Wei said, "Lu Xun used troops no less than Sun, and Wu. The southeast could not be settled." He ordered the generals to guard the dangerous points and led the army to station in Hefei to wait for the changes.
However, Kong Ming was in Qishan and wanted to make a long-term plan to station him, so he ordered the Shu soldiers and the Wei people to farm together: one cent of the army and two cents of the people, and they did not invade, and the Wei people were all at ease. Sima Shi came in and told his father, "The Shu soldiers robbed me a lot of grain and rice, and now he ordered the Shu soldiers and the people to farm together in Weibin, thinking that it was a long-term plan: It seems that this is really a big trouble for the country. Why didn't my father make an appointment with Kong Ming to fight a big battle to determine the male and female?"
Yi said, "I am following the order and I will not move lightly." During the main discussion, he suddenly reported that Wei Yan was wearing the golden helmet that the marshal had lost the day before yesterday and came to quarrel.
All the generals were angry and wanted to go out to fight. Yi laughed and said, "The sage said: If you can't bear it, you will be chasing the big plan. But stick to it." The generals did not go out according to the order. Wei Yan was insulted for a long time before returning. Kongming saw that Sima Yi refused to go out to fight, so he secretly ordered Ma Dai to create a wooden fence, digging deep trenches in the camp, and many things to accumulate dry firewood and fire. On the surrounding mountains, firewood and grass were used to build nests, and landmines inside and outside were buried. The preparations were made. Kong Ming asked him with his ears, "You can block the rear road of Hulu Valley and secretly ambush the soldiers in the valley. If Sima Yi chased him and let him enter the valley, he would set up the mines and firewood together." He ordered the soldiers to raise seven stars during the day and put them at the entrance of the valley at night, and set up seven bright lamps on the mountain to serve as secret codes. Ma Dai was plotted to lead the troops away. Kong Ming called Wei Yan and said, "You can lead five hundred soldiers to Wei Village to challenge him.
In the war, be sure to lure Sima Yi to fight. You cannot win, you can only pretend to be defeated. Yi must chase you, but you look in the seven-star flag; if it is at night, you look in the seven-lanterns and walk. As long as you lead Sima Yi into the Hulu Valley, I have a plan to capture it." Wei Yan received the plan and led his troops away. Kong Ming called Gao Xiang and said, "You will be a group of wooden ox and flowing horses, or 40 or 50. Each of them will be a group of rice and grain, and walk back and forth on the mountain roads. If the Wei soldiers robbed it, it will be your merit." Gao Xiang led the plan and drove the wooden ox and flowing horses away. Kong Ming transferred the Qishan soldiers one by one, only to push the military farm; the distribution: "If there are other soldiers coming to fight, you will only be a group of defeat; if Sima Yi comes, he will only attack Weinan and cut off his way back." Kong Ming had finished his distribution, and he led his army to the upper valley to the camp.
Let’s talk about Xiahou Hui. Xiahou and his two men entered the camp and told Sima Yi, “Now the Shu soldiers are scattered and built farms everywhere, which is a long-term plan. If they do not take advantage of this time, even if they live in peace for a long time, they will be deeply rooted and firmly steadily, and they will be difficult to shake.” Yi said, “This must be Kong Ming’s plan.”
The two said, "If the governor is so suspicious, when will the enemy be destroyed? My brothers and I should fight to the death to fight to the death to repay the country's kindness."
Yi said, "Since this is the case, you two can fight separately." So he ordered Xiahou Hui, Xiahou and each led 5,000 troops away. Yi sat and waited for the reply.
But Xiahou Hui and Xiahou He divided the troops into two groups. While they were walking, they suddenly saw Shu soldiers driving the Muniu and flowing horses. The two of them killed the generals together. The Shu soldiers were defeated and ran away. The Muniu and flowing horses were all captured by the Wei soldiers and sent to Sima Yi's camp. The next day, he was robbed and captured more than a hundred people and horses. He also went to the big camp. Yi was rescued from Shu soldiers and questioned the truth. The Shu soldiers told him, "Kong Ming only expected that the governor would not be able to defend himself, so he ordered us to scatter the fields in all directions, thinking that they had been planning for a long time. But he was captured." Yi immediately released all the Shu soldiers. Xiahou He said, "Why not kill them?" Yi said, "It is useless to kill them." Yi said, "It is useless to measure this small soldier. He released him to the camp and say that the Wei generals were generous and kind, and explained his fighting spirit: this was Lu Meng's plan to take Jingzhou. "So he ordered that any soldiers who have captured Shu should be good at sending them. He still rewarded the meritorious generals and officials. All the generals followed the order and left.
However, Kong Ming ordered Gao Xiang to pretend to transport grain, drive wooden ox and flow horses, and go back and forth in the valley above; Xiahou Hui and others intercepted and killed each other from time to time, and in half a month, they won several battles in a row. Sima Yi was happy when he saw the Shu soldiers defeated repeatedly. One day, he captured dozens of Shu soldiers. Yi called him to the tent and asked, "Where is Kong Ming now?" Everyone told him, "Prime Minister Zhuge is not in Qishan, but is located ten miles west of the valley above. Now he transports grain to the valley above every day." Yi Bei asked in detail and was about to release everyone
Then he called the generals to share the matter and said, "Kongming is not in Qishan now, but camp in the upper valley. You can work together to capture the Qishan camp tomorrow. I will lead my troops to meet you." The generals took the order and each prepared to fight. Sima Shi said, "Why did my father want to attack his descendants?" Yi said, "Qishan is the foundation of the people of Shu. If you see my troops attacking him, all the camps will come to rescue him. But I took the upper valley and burned the food and grass, so that the head and tail would not be connected: they would be defeated." Sima Shi was convinced.
Yi immediately sent troops to start and ordered Zhang Hu and Le Xi to lead 5,000 soldiers to rescue him. And Kong Ming was on the mountain and saw that the Wei soldiers were either 3,500 or 1,200, and the teams were in large numbers, looking forward to the front and back, and they were expected to come to take the Qishan camp. He secretly ordered the generals: "If Sima Yi comes, you will go to rob the Wei village and seize Weinan." The generals obeyed the orders. But the Wei soldiers all rushed to Qishan camp, and the Shu soldiers shouted and ran around in an attempt to rescue him. Sima Yi saw that the Shu soldiers were all going to rescue Qishan camp, so he led the two sons and the central army to guard the troops and rushed to the upper valley. Wei Yan was at the entrance of the valley, hoping that Sima Yi would arrive. Suddenly, he saw a branch of Wei soldiers coming, and Yan rode his horse forward and looked forward. It was Sima Yi. Yan shouted loudly, "Sima Yi don't go!"
When they met, Yi held the gun and fought. Without going up to the three-way match, Yan turned back his horse and left. Yi then rushed over. Yan only looked at the Seven Star Banner and walked away. Yi saw that Wei Yan was only one man, and there were few horses, so he was relieved to chase him. He ordered Sima Shi to be on the left and Sima Zhao was on the right. Yi took the center to attack and kill the future together. Wei Yan led five hundred soldiers to retreat into the valley. Yi chased the valley and first sent him to the valley to explore. He reported that there were no ambush in the valley, and there were all that were all that were on the mountain. Yi said, "This must be the place where the grain was accumulated." So he drove the soldiers and horses into the valley. Yi suddenly saw that there were dry firewood on the torch, and Wei Yan was gone in front of him. Yi was suspicious and said to his two sons, "If there were soldiers to cut off the valley, what would it do?" Before he could finish his words, he heard the shouts and threw the torches on the mountain and burned the valley entrance.
The Wei soldiers had no way to escape. Rockets shot down from the mountain, mines protruded together, and dry firewood was everywhere in the thatched house, scratching and the fire soared into the sky. Sima Yi was so shocked that he was at a loss, so he got off his horse and hugged his two sons and cried, "My father and son are all dead here!" While crying, suddenly the wind blew up, and the black air filled the air. A thunderbolt sounded, and the sudden rain poured down. The fires all over the valley were extinguished: the mines did not shake, and the firearms were useless. Sima Yi
He was overjoyed and said, "Why don't you fight out at this time? Then, he led his troops to fight hard. Zhang Hu and Le Ji also led their troops to fight to meet him. Ma Dai's army young man did not dare to chase him. Sima Yi and his son joined forces with Zhang Hu and Le Ji and returned to the Great Village in Weinan. Unexpectedly, the gates had been taken away by the Shu soldiers. Guo Huai and Sun Li were fighting against the Shu soldiers on the floating bridge. Sima Yi and others led their troops to kill, and the Shu soldiers retreated. Yi burned the floating bridge and occupied the north bank.
Let’s talk about the Wei soldiers attacking Shu camp in Qishan. When they heard that Sima Yi was defeated and lost the Weinan camp, the army was flustered. When they retreated quickly, Shu soldiers rushed to the future. The Wei soldiers were defeated and ten were injured. There were countless dead. The rest of the people rushed to Weibei to escape. Kong Ming saw Wei Yan luring Sima Yi into the valley. In an instant, the fire rose. He was very happy and thought that Sima Yi would die this time. Unexpectedly, heavy rain fell, and the fire could not be caught. The whistle horse reported that Sima Yi and his son had both fled. Kong Ming sighed, "Planning is up to people, but success is up to heaven. You cannot force it!" Later generations sighed, "The wind at the valley is strong and the flames are floating, so why would the sudden rain fall to the blue sky? If Marquis Wu can do it, how can the mountains and rivers belong to the Jin Dynasty!"
However, Sima Yi sent an order in Weibei Village, saying, "The gates of Weinan Village have been lost now. If the generals say that they will go to war, they will behead them." The generals obeyed the order and did not leave. Guo Huai came in and told him, "Recently, Kongming led troops to patrol, and he will definitely choose a place to camp." Yi said, "If Kong Ming had martial arts, he would go east to the mountain, and we would all be in danger; if he went out of Weinan, he would stop at Wuzhangyuan in the west, and there would be nothing wrong." He asked people to explore it and return the reward for the Wuzhangyuan. Sima Yi added his forehead with his hands and said, "The great blessing of the Emperor of the Great Wei!" Then he ordered the generals: "Persevere and do not go out, and that will change itself for a long time."
It is said that Kong Ming led an army to camp in Wuzhangyuan, and he was forced to fight, but the Wei soldiers did not leave. Kong Ming then took the women and women's clothes and put them in the big box. He compiled a letter and sent them to Weizhai. The generals did not dare to hide, so they attracted envoys to come to see Sima Yi. Yi looked at the box and saw them with women's clothes and wrote a letter. Yi took the letter and briefly said, "As Zhongda was a general, he commanded the people in the Central Plains. He did not want to wear a strong and held the sharp edge to determine the male and female. He was willing to guard the land nest and avoided the sword and arrow. What's the difference between it and a woman? Now he sent someone to send women's clothes and clothes. If he didn't go out to fight, he could bow and accept it again. If the shame was not gone, he still had a man's heart, so he would reply to the enemy as soon as possible." After seeing it, Sima Yi was furious and pretended to laugh and said, "Did Kong Ming regard me as a woman!" He accepted it and ordered him to wait for the envoy again.
Yi asked, "What is the trouble of Kongming's sleep and food?" The envoy said, "The Prime Minister was upset and sleeping at night, and he was punished by more than 20 yuan and was personally looked at.
The food I ate was only a few liters a day." Yi Gu said to the generals: "Kong Ming had little food, can he be troubled for a long time?"
The envoy resigned and returned to Wuzhangyuan. When he saw Kong Ming, he said, "Sima Yi was given a woman's clothes and read the letter. He was not angry. He only asked the Prime Minister about sleeping, eating and doing things, and never mentioned military affairs. Someone responded in this way, and he said: How can he be troubled for a long time if he eats less and has troubles?" Kong Ming sighed and said, "He knows me well!" Yang Yan, the chief clerk, advised, "I saw that the Prime Minister often proofreads his books, and I think it's not necessary.
In order to govern, the upper and lower levels should not invade each other. For example, the way of governing a family is to make servants hold farming, maids cook, private business is not open, and everything they ask for is enough. The head of the family is calm and free, just a high-end meal. If they are all involved in their affairs, they will be tired and trapped, and they will never be able to achieve anything. Is his wisdom not as good as maids? Is it a way to become a master? Therefore, the ancients said: Sitting and discussing the way is called the Three Dukes; working and doing it is called the scholars and officials. In the past, Bingji was worried that the cow was panting, but he did not ask about the death of the road; Chen Ping did not know the number of money and grain, and said: "There is a master. Now the prime minister takes care of the details and sweats."
Isn't it all day long? Sima Yi's words are the most sincere words." Kong Ming cried and said, "I am not unaware. I am the entrusted by the late emperor, for fear that others are not as good as my heart!" Everyone shed tears. Since then, Kong Ming felt uneasy. All the generals did not dare to advance. However, it was said that the generals of Wei knew that Kong Ming humiliated Sima Yi with a woman's clothes, and Yi did not fight. The generals were angry and entered the tent and told him, "We are all famous generals of the great country, how can we endure such humiliation from the Shu people! We immediately asked to go out to fight to determine the male and female." Yi said, "I am not afraid to fight and willing to be humiliated. But the emperor is the emperor.
The clear edict ordered the guard to stay and not move. If you go out lightly, it will be against the king's order." All the generals were angry and unfair. Yi said, "As soon as you go to war, wait for me to report to the emperor and work together to go to the enemy, what's the case?" Everyone agreed. Yi wrote a letter to send an envoy, and went to the army of Fei, and reported to the Lord of Wei Cao Rui. Rui Rui dismantled the statement to read it. The statement said, "I am talented and heavy, and I am buried in the clear edict, and I ordered me to stick to the war without fighting, so as to treat the people of Shu. But now Zhuge Liang's remaining ministers treat me as women, and are very humiliated! I am sure to first understand Shengcong: I will fight to the death every day and in order to repay the court.
The court's kindness is to avenge the shame of the three armies. I am extremely excited!" Rui finished reading it, and then said to many officials, "Sima Yi insisted on not leaving. Why did he submit a letter to fight again?" Wei Wei Xinpi said, "Sima Yi had no intention of fighting, so he must be humiliated by Zhuge Liang and the generals were angry. He specially submitted this letter to ask for an order to stop the generals' hearts." Rui said, and ordered Xinpi to hold his responsibilities to Weibei Village to pass an order, and ordered not to go to war. Sima Yi received the edict and entered the tent, and Xinpi announced the letter, "If anyone dares to say that he will go to war, he will be considered as a violation of the order." The generals had no choice but to obey the edict.
Yi secretly said to Xinpi, "Your Majesty knows my heart!" So he ordered the legend in the army: The Wei Lord ordered Xinpi to hold the rituals and told Sima Yi not to go out to fight. The Shu general heard about this and reported it to Kong Ming. Kong Ming smiled and said, "This is the law of Sima Yi's three armies." Jiang Wei said, "How can the Prime Minister know it?" Kong Ming said, "He has no intention of fighting; so those who ask for battle will show the military force to the public. Haven't you heard that the general is outside and the king has not accepted the order. How can there be a thousand miles to ask for battle? This is because Sima Yi was angry with the soldiers, so he used Cao Rui's intention to control everyone. Now he spread this message, and he wanted to slacken our army's morale."
During the discussion, Fei Yi suddenly came. Kong Ming asked him to come in and asked him. Yi said, "Wish lord Cao Rui heard that the three armies of the Eastern Wu were advancing, so he led the army to Hefei, and ordered Man Chong, Tian Yu and Liu Shao to divide the troops to meet the enemy in three armies. Man Chong designed to burn all the food and grass of the Eastern Wu, and the Wu soldiers were sick. Lu Xun reported to the King of Wu, and attacked each other before and after the date. Unexpectedly, the person who brought the letter was captured by the Wei soldiers on the way. Therefore, the agency leaked, and the Wu soldiers retreated without success."
When Kong Ming heard this letter, he sighed and fainted on the ground. The generals were first aided, and Fang Su. Kong Ming sighed, "I am confused and my old illness recurs, and I am afraid I will not be able to recover!"
That night, Kong Ming helped him out of the tent and looked up at the sky and was very panicked. When he entered the tent, he said to Jiang Wei, "My life is here!" Wei said, "Why did the Prime Minister say this?" Kong Ming said, "I saw that among the three stars, the guest star is brighter, the main star is hidden, and the light is dark: the sky is like this, my life can be seen!" Wei said, "Although the sky is like this, why don't the Prime Minister use the method of praying for rituals to recover it?" Kong Ming said, "I have always been familiar with the method of praying for rituals, but I don't know what the will of heaven is. You can lead forty-nine soldiers, each holding soap flag, wearing soap clothes, and surrounding the tent; I pray to the Beidou in the tent. If the main lamp does not turn off within seven days, my life can be increased by one century; if the lamp is turned off, I will die. I will not teach you to put it in. All things that are needed are only allowed to be carried by two children." Jiang Wei took the order and went to prepare.
It was Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and it was the Milky Way, with jade dew scattered, flags still moving, and fighting silently. Jiang Wei led forty-nine people outside the tent to guard it. Kong Ming set up a sacrifice of incense and flowers in the tent, distributed seven headlights on the ground, forty-nine small lamps on the outside, and one of the dynasties inside. Kong Ming bowed and said, "Long was born in a chaotic world, and was willing to old forests and springs; he inherited the grace of Emperor Zhaolie's three-day grace, and he entrusted the orphans with the weight of his or her, and did not dare to do anything about dogs and horses, and swear to fight against the traitors. Unexpectedly, the star was about to fall, and his life was about to end. He wrote a ruler and told the sky: I hope the heavenly kindness, and I looked down and listened, and the ministers calculated that he could repay the emperor's kindness, save the people's lives, recover the old things, and extend the Han sacrifice forever. I did not dare to pray without any mistakes, but it was because of the feelings."
After paying a blessing, he fell in the tent and waited for the morning. The next day, he helped the sick and vomited blood. On the day, he planned to discuss military plans, and on the night, he stepped on the turbulent steps.
But Sima Yi was holding his foot in the camp. Suddenly, he looked up at the sky and was very happy. He said to Xiahou Ba: "I saw that the general star was out of position, Kong Ming would definitely be sick and died soon. You can lead a thousand troops to Wuzhangyuan to explore. If the Shu people were in chaos and did not go out to fight, Kong Ming would definitely be sick. I should take advantage of the situation to attack him." Ba led his troops away. Kong Ming prayed in the tent for six nights, and saw the main lamp bright, and he was very happy. Jiang Wei entered the tent and saw Kong Ming wearing his hair and sword, stepping on the gang and fighting, suppressing the general star. Suddenly, he heard the shouting outside the camp, and wanted to ask, Wei Yanfei stepped in and said, "Wei soldiers are here!" Yan's steps were urgent and he actually put out the main lamp. Kong Ming abandoned the sword and sighed, "Life and death are destined, and cannot be punished!" Wei Yan was frightened and asked for guilt; Jiang Wei was angry and drew his sword to kill Wei Yan.
Chapter completed!
