Wu Yueshan.

The Qin army's whistle cavalry patrolled north along the western foot of Wuyue Mountain as usual. The mountains in front of us were stretching, especially the Wuyue Mountains in the east, standing between the heaven and earth like a green screen.

Unlike the humid, hot and humid atmosphere in the south central area, the mountainous areas here are relatively cold because of their good dimensions. Especially in this season when the Spring Festival has just passed and the earth has not completely thawed, the mountain breeze blows across the hills, making people tremble and think that the cold wave has gone south again.

Here, there are no traces of mosquitoes, but various wild animals appear and disappear from time to time. The whistle riding by will always startle all kinds of small animals hidden in the weeds and bushes.

More than a dozen whistle riders ran forward along a stream winding in the valley at the foot of the mountain. After a while, they climbed a hill covered with mottled ice and snow, which alarmed a group of jackdaw resting on the hills. The jackdaw flapped their wings and flew to add a bit of life to this quiet mountain area.

The captain raised his eyes to look into the distance, and the familiar scenery immediately came into view. The hills and hills were undulating, and the hills at the farthest were the rivers of the Wei River.

“Huh?

Captain, look!"

A soldier suddenly pointed to the north and shouted.

The captain immediately looked in the direction of his finger. The north was the direction of Fanxukou, which was the pass where tens of thousands of troops of Mao Jie were stationed. As soon as the captain looked over, he saw many black shadows flying through the forest not far away in the mountains and forests.

The captain's expression moved and shouted, "It's the enemy!"

At this moment, the black shadows had already rushed to the foot of the mountain where they were. At this time, everyone saw clearly that the visitors were all dressed in Liu Bei's army, and they were the light cavalry of Liu Bei's army.

Liu Bei's army also discovered the Qin army's whistle cavalry on the hills. The leading general shouted loudly, and the light cavalry of Liu Bei's army immediately rushed up. The rumbling sound of horse hooves immediately broke the original silence of the forest.

The captain of the whistle cavalry shouted: "You will repay the wood immediately, and the rest will follow me to stop it!"

Then he raised his horse spear and shouted loudly, leading a dozen whistle cavalry to rush towards Liu Bei's army. The whistle cavalry named Mutou immediately turned his horse and ran towards his camp.

At this moment, Mutou heard the fierce collision and fighting sounds coming from behind him, and he couldn't help but look back.

The brothers were colliding with Liu Bei's cavalry, with swords and swords flying everywhere, and they couldn't tell who was coming.

Ma Su was talking to his subordinates in the big tent. An officer quickly stepped in and said with his fists: "General, the whistle cavalry meets the enemy and is back alone!"

Ma Su frowned and said, "Call him in!"

The officer shouted, then shouted outside: "Come in!"

Before he finished speaking, a soldier hurried into the tent and bowed to Ma Su, "Go to see the general!"

"Um.

Have you met the enemy?

What is the situation?”

The soldier said: "The villain followed the captain to patrol according to the established route. Not long ago, he encountered enemy cavalry in Yelanggou! It was Liu Bei's army, with about a thousand cavalry!"

Ma Su and others all showed unexpected expressions, and Ma Su frowned and said, "The vanguard of the Qianqi?"

The soldier nodded.

Ma Su walked to the sand table and immediately found the Wild Wolf Valley, which was less than thirty miles away from the Qipan Peak where the current camp was located.

Ma Su sat down and thought for a while, and asked the soldier, "Are you the only one coming back?"

The soldier said worriedly: "Captain and others go to block the enemy, but they don't know now, now..." Ma Su understood and said: "Thank you for your hard work, go and rest."

The soldiers bowed to Ma Su and went down.

Ma Su's eyes returned to the sand table, frowned tightly, and murmured to himself: "The vanguard of the Qianqi, is it that the enemy plans to seize Wu Yueshan and Chen Cang before our army has assembled?"

At this point, Yan's brows frowned even more, and he felt that if the enemy really launched as expected, it would be really troublesome! Then he quickly walked to the upper position and turned around to glance at everyone, shouting: "Immediately send orders to all the troops to prepare for the battle! At the same time, send scouts to investigate the enemy's movements!"

Everyone agreed.

The sound of trumpets in the camp sounded loudly, and the Qin army quickly mobilized, and saw iron armor and spears like forests. At the same time, more than ten scouts rushed out and went west to the north to investigate the situation of the enemy.

The branch villages on the banks of the Weishui River at the foot of the mountain south of Wuyue Mountain were also in full alert, and the five thousand officers and soldiers guarding the branch villages were quickly prepared for the battle.

Ma Su led 30,000 troops to guard Wu Yueshan under the order of Zhuge Liang, of which 5,000 officers and soldiers were arranged in the division camps, while Ma Su himself led 25,000 main forces to guard Qipan Peak. The two camps formed a horn to block the enemy's road to attack Chen Cangdi in the west.

Ma Su left the tent and came to the top of Qipanfeng Mountain to look around. He saw that the two big villages on the mountain were already ready.

Ma Su retracted his gaze and looked into the distance. The green mountains were endless and silent, as if countless enemy troops were hidden.

Ma Su couldn't help but frowned.

At this moment, the scout who was sent to investigate the enemy situation not long ago came back and reported to Ma Su: "Report to General, Mao Jie came out in full bloom, and there were also Qiang people all over the mountains and fields, and I don't know how many people there were!"

Ma Su frowned and asked, "Does there any news about their patrol team before?"

"No, probably, I guess the whole army was wiped out!"

Ma Su had long expected this result.

"General, look!"

A general suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted.

Ma Su also saw that the hills in the distance were suddenly flooded by a tide, but it was not the real tide, but the coalition forces of Liu Bei's army and the Qiang people. The 150,000 and 60,000 troops spread from the mountainous areas like a sudden tide, and the weather was amazing! In a short while, the enemy's tide surged to the Qipan Peak, but did not launch a fierce attack on Qipan Peak, but instead took some of the troops to guard against Qipan Peak, and the main army rushed straight towards the branch camp at the foot of Qipan Peak! It seemed as if the waves were slamming against the shore, and the war broke out. The enemy attacked with all his strength as soon as he came up. The officers and soldiers

As the tide continues to surge, it hits the defense line of the village! Looking down from the mountain, it is like a raging flood trying to break through the obstruction of the embankment! Seeing this, Ma Su was not panicked and immediately divided an army from the rear path down the mountain to rush to the sub-city! Mao Jie discovered the existence of the path and immediately sent an elite force to pass through the two camps on the mountain and try to cut off the path. The soldiers and horses from both sides fought fiercely on the path!... Zhuge Liang woke up from his sleep and found that what he saw just now was just a dream, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps stopped outside the bedroom, and then the voice of the personal soldiers sounded: "Military advisor! Military advisor!..." In Ailang's army, all literati leaders were called military advisors, which was a habit. It was not that his official position was military advisor. Zhuge Liang's official position was actually a Bianjia of Yongzhou, but Guo Jia's official position was the governor of Yongzhou, and Yongzhou refers to the area around Guanzhong. This is the official name, and Guanzhong is just a customary name for everyone.

Zhuge Liang stood up, walked to the door, and opened the door.

When the personal soldiers at the door saw Zhuge Liang, they immediately presented a bamboo slip and said, "Report to the military advisor, Wu Yueshan urgently reported it!"

Zhuge Liang's heart moved, and immediately took the bamboo slips, opened them and looked at them, frowned, and said, "Okay! I really underestimated them. Unexpectedly, they planned to take advantage of the opportunity of our army not being fully assembled to attack first in order to defeat our army in one fell swoop!"

He paused and said to his personal soldiers: "Call General Yan Liang and other generals to the hall to discuss matters!"

The personal soldiers agreed and left in a hurry.

As soon as the personal soldier left, another personal soldier hurried over and said anxiously to Zhuge Liang: "Military advisor, Liu Bei personally led an army of 180,000 out of Sanguan and rushed towards Chen Cang!"

Zhuge Liang was not surprised by this, because he had just heard that Mao Jie and the Qiang people came to attack in large numbers, and he had already expected that Liu Bei would launch an attack at the same time.

Zhuge Liang said to his personal soldiers: "Let the scouts explore again!"

The personal soldiers agreed and ran down.

Not long after, Liu Bei's army advanced to the south bank of the Wei River.

Zhuge Liang stood on the south gate tower and looked into the distance. He saw Liu Bei's army storm, with flags like clouds and a rainbow of momentum.

Although Zhuge Liang was arrogant and confident in the combat power of the Qin army, he still couldn't help but feel trembling when he saw this scene.

Liu Bei rode his horse to the front of the army, first looked at Chen Cang on the north bank of the Wei River, and then looked at the Qin army who was ready for battle on the north bank, and couldn't help but smile proudly.

In his opinion, although the Qin army was strong, his army was now approaching, and the troops of the two sides were very different. Under the storm, the opponent could not have any other way out except to be defeated and fled.

He raised his right hand and waved it back. The army slowly retreated not far away. He set up camp on the shore and began to cut down trees to make wooden rafts and rafts to make busy preparations for the forced crossing of the Wei River.

The Qin army was on guard on the shore, but did not dare to slack off at all.

Zhuge Liang glanced at the enemy's camp, thought for a while, and ordered the scout to leave the city and investigate along the Wei River upstream and downstream. If there was any abnormality, he would immediately repay him.

In the Liu Bei's army's tent, Liu Bei was discussing the march strategy with Pang Tong and others.

Liu Bei frowned slightly and said, "Although Zhuge Liang betrayed me, his wisdom should not be underestimated! I am only worried that this battle will not progress as we hoped!"

Pang Tong smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Lord, don't worry, my subordinates already have a strategy to deal with Kong Ming!"

Liu Bei was surprised and looked at Pang Tong curiously and asked hurriedly: "What is Shi Yuan's trick?"

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Soldiers are tricks! Kong Ming can be said to be a master of military strategists, so we set up a plan for this! With Kong Ming's character, he would definitely send people to warn our army from the upstream and downstream to warn us. As he wished, he sent an army to quietly go downstream, making Kong Ming think that our army attacked the west and prepared to cross the Wei River from the downstream!..." Everyone present was not fools, and he suddenly realized when he heard this.

Then Mi Fang asked in confusion: "Since Zhuge Liang wants to think that our army's real attack direction is downstream, why should we act quietly?"
