However, Kong Ming used the method of reducing troops and adding stoves to retreat to Hanzhong. Sima Yi was afraid of ambushing and dared not chase him, so he also withdrew his troops and returned to Chang'an. Therefore, no one of the Shu soldiers had been defeated. Kong Ming had finished the grand reward of the three armies and returned to Chengdu. He came to see the Later Lord and reported, "The old minister went out of Qishan and wanted to take Chang'an. He suddenly accepted the imperial edict and recalled him. I don't know what major matters?" The Later Lord 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 missed him so I specially ordered him to return, but there was nothing else. "Kong Ming said, "This is not your Majesty's original intention. There must be slandering treacherous ministers, saying that they have strange ambitions." After hearing this, the late master was silent. Kong Ming said, "The old minister received the kindness of the former emperor and swears to repay him with death. If there are evil inside, how can I fight against the thief?" The late master said, "I have listened to the eunuch's words and recalled the prime minister at once. Today, the clues are open, and I regret it too much!" Kong Ming then called the eunuchs to ask, and only then did he realize that it was a rumor; he urgently asked to arrest him and he had already surrendered to the State of Wei.

Kong Ming punished the eunuchs who reported to him, and all the others were deposed from the palace. He also deeply blamed Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others for not being able to detect the evil and advised the emperor. The two of them only accepted the crime. Kong Ming bowed to the emperor and returned to Hanzhong. On one hand, he issued an edict to Li Yan to deal with the food and grass, and still transported him to the army. On the other hand, he discussed going out. Yang Yi said: "The army was raised several times before, but the army was abandoned, and the grain was not continued. Now it is better to divide the troops into two squads, and it takes three months to take only 100,000 out of Qi. After living in the mountain for three months, he taught these 100,000 substitutes to revolve around each other. If this is the case, there will be no shortage of troops and then slowly advance, and the Central Plains can be planned." Kong Ming said, "This is exactly what I want. I will attack the Central Plains, not a matter of one day or one night, but it is a long-term plan." He then ordered to divide the troops into two squads, limiting a period of one hundred days, and revolving each other. Those who violate the limit will be governed according to military law. In the spring of the ninth year of Jianxing, Kong Ming returned to attack Wei. At that time, it was the fifth year of Taihe in Wei. The Wei lord Cao Rui knew that Kong Ming had attacked the Central Plains again and urgently summoned Sima Yi to discuss. Yi said, "Now that Zidan has been destroyed, I am willing to do my best to eliminate the bandits and repay Your Majesty." Rui was very happy and held a banquet to wait for him. The next day, someone reported that the Sichuan army was in a hurry. Rui immediately ordered Sima Yi to go out to defend the enemy and personally sent the imperial carriage out of the city. Yi resigned the Wei lord and went straight to Chang'an, and held a meeting of all the people and horses, planning to defeat the Sichuan army. Zhang He said, "I am willing to lead an army to guard Yong, Qi, and resist. Shu soldiers." Yi said, "My front army cannot be the only one of Kong Ming's people, and they divide the troops into front and back, which is not a chance of victory. It is better to leave troops to guard Shangji, and the rest of the people go to Qishan. Will the officials be willing to be the vanguard?" He was overjoyed and said, "I have always been loyal and righteous, and I want to serve the country with all my heart, but I am sorry that I have never met my confidant. Now the governor is willing to entrust important tasks, and even if I die, I will never give up!" So Sima Yi ordered Zhang He to be the vanguard and the governor of the army. He also ordered Guo Huai to guard the counties of Longxi, and the rest of the generals advanced in different ways.

The front army sentry horse report said: Kong Ming led a large army to advance to Qishan. Wang Ping and Zhang Yi, the vanguard in the front, went out of Chencang, passed Jiange, and came from Sanguan and looked at the Xigu. Sima Yi said to Zhang He: "Now Kong Ming is moving forward in a long journey, and he will definitely cut wheat from Longxi to provide military rations. You can build a camp to guard Qishan. I will patrol the Tianshui counties with Guo Huai to prevent Shu soldiers from cutting wheat." He led his no, so he led 40,000 troops to defend Qishan. Yi led the army to look to Longxi and left.

However, it was said that Kong Ming's troops arrived in Qishan and had completed their camp. When they saw that there was a Wei army in Weibin, they said to the generals: "This must be Sima Yi."

Now that the camp is short of food, people have been sent to urge Li Yan to transport rice to deal with it, but it is not enough. I can take the wheat in the mountains and lead the troops to cut it."

So 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 was known to Kong Ming and hurriedly opened the city to surrender. Kong Ming comforted him and asked, "Where is the wheat ripe at this time?" The prefect said, "The wheat on the Long is ripe." Kong Ming then kept Zhang Yi, Ma Zhong guarded Lucheng, and led the generals and the three armies to look up the Long. The front army replied, "Sima Yi led his troops here." Kong Ming was shocked and said, "This man knew that I was coming to harvest wheat!" He then took a shower and changed his clothes, pushed over three ordinary four-wheeled vehicles, and all the carriages were decorated the same. This car was built in advance by Kong Ming in Shu.

He ordered Jiang Wei to lead a thousand chariots, five hundred chariots to beat drums, and lie behind Shang Ming; Ma Dai was on the left and Wei Yan was on the right, and each led a thousand chariots to beat drums, and five hundred chariots to beat drums. Each chariot was 24 people, soap clothes were covered with swords, and the seven-star soap flags were held in his hands, and the carts were pushed on the left and right. The three of them were each subject and led the troops to push the carts away. Kong Ming ordered the thirty-one thousand troops to hold sickles, carry ropes, and wait for the wheat to be cut. However, twenty-four strong men were selected, each wearing soap clothes, and wearing hairs were covered with swords, and surrounded the four-wheeled chariots with swords, and as the cart messengers. Guan Xing ended up like a pangolin, holding a seven-star soap flag in his hands, and walked in front of the cart. Kong Ming sat upright and looked at the Wei camp. The whistle detective was shocked when he saw it, and he didn't know whether it was a man or a ghost, so he quickly reported it.

Knowing that Sima Yi. Yi went out of the camp to look at it, and saw Kong Ming wearing a crown, a crane, a buckle, a feather fan, and sitting upright on a four-wheeled carriage; twenty-four people on the left and right, wearing hair and swords; one person in front of him, holding a soap banner in his hand, faintly like a god. Yi said, "This is another reason for Kong Ming. 1, so he transferred two thousand horses to share the horses and said, "You go away quickly, and you will catch them with the car and take them all your orders. 1, Wei soldiers will take the orders and chase them together. Kong Ming saw that the Wei soldiers came, so he told him to return and look at the Shu camp slowly. The Wei soldiers chased them suddenly, but they saw the cold wind and the cold mist was everywhere. They tried their best to catch them, but they couldn't catch them. Everyone was shocked and they all stopped the horses and said, "Strange! We rushed for thirty miles in a hurry, but we couldn't catch them, just like that

What?" Kong Ming saw that the soldiers did not come, so he ordered the cart to come over and stopped towards the Wei soldiers. The Wei soldiers hesitated for a long time and then released their horses to come. Kong Ming returned to the cart and walked slowly. The Wei soldiers rushed for another twenty miles, but saw that they had never caught up. They were all demented. Kong Ming trained the cart to return to the cart and pushed the cart backwards. The Wei soldiers wanted to chase after him. Sima Yi led his army to arrive later and sent an order, "Kong Ming was good at meeting the Eight Gate Dunjia, and could drive the gods of the Six Dings and Six Jias. This is the method of shrinking the ground in the Liujia Heavenly Book. The army should not chase them." When the soldiers pulled back, the left war drum was shocked, and a Biao army came to kill. Yi urgently ordered the soldiers to reject them, but saw twenty-four people in the Shu army, wearing their hair and swords, wearing soap clothes and slings, and carrying a four-wheeled cart

Car; Kong Ming was sitting upright, with a crown and a crane cloak, and a feather fan in his hand. Yi was shocked and said, "There was Kong Ming in the car just now. He rushed fifty miles and couldn't catch up. How could there be Kong Ming here? How strange! Before he finished speaking, the right drum sounded again. A Biao army came to fight. There were also Kong Ming on the four-wheeled carriage, and there were twenty-four people on the left and right, wearing soap clothes and slings, wearing swords, and came to the carriage. Yi was very suspicious and looked back at the generals and said, "This must be a magic weapon. The army was in chaos and dared not fight, and they ran around. As he was walking, the drums suddenly sounded loudly, and another Biao army came to fight: A four-wheeled carriage was the first, Kong Ming was sitting upright, and the carriage was pushed up by the left and right, front and back, just like the front. The Wei soldiers were all shocked.

Sima Yi didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost, and there were not many Shu soldiers. He was very frightened and rushed into Shangji and kept his door shut. At this time, Kong Ming ordered 30,000 elite soldiers to cut all the wheat in Longshang and transported them to Lucheng to fight and dry them. Sima Yi was in Shangji City and did not dare to leave the city for three days. Later, he saw that Shu soldiers retreated, so he dared to order the army to send a sentry. He caught a Shu soldiers on the road and came to see Sima Yi. Yi asked him, and the man said, "I was the man who was cutting the wheat, but because of the missing horse, he was caught." Yi said, "What kind of magic weapon is the former? He replied, "The three ambush soldiers are not Kong Ming, but Jiang Wei."

, Ma Dai and Wei Yan. There are only one thousand escorts in each route, and five hundred escorts beat drums. It is Kong Ming who came to lure the formation first. "Yi sighed to the sky and said, "Kongming has an opportunity to be out of ghosts!" Suddenly, the deputy governor Guo Huai came in to see him. Yi came in and finished the ceremony. Huai said, "I heard that there were not many soldiers in Shu. Now Lucheng is rushing wheat, and you can attack him." Yi said in detail about the past. Huai laughed and said, "I have only been deceived for a while, and now I have seen it. What's the point! I led an army to attack the back, and the Duke led an army to attack the front. Lucheng can be destroyed, and Kong Ming can capture Lei." Yi followed it and then divided his troops into two groups.

But Kong Ming led his army to fight wheat in Lucheng, and suddenly called the generals to say, "Tonight the enemy will come to attack the city. I think that the army can be ambushed in the wheat fields in Lucheng. Who dares to go for me?" Jiang Wei, Wei Yan, Ma Zhong and Ma Dai came out and said, "I want to go." Kong Ming was very happy and ordered Jiang Wei and Wei Yan to lead two thousand soldiers to lie in the southeast and northwest; Ma Dai and Ma Zhong each led two thousand soldiers to lie in the southwest and two in the northeast: "I only heard the sound of cannons, and the four corners came together." The four generals were trapped and led their troops away. Kong Ming led more than a hundred people, each with cannons out of the city, and waited in the wheat fields.

But Sima Yi led his troops to Lu City. It was already dark, so he said to the generals: "If you advance in the sun, you will be prepared in the city; you can attack it at night. The city is low and shallow, so you can break it." So he stationed outside the city. At the first update, Guo Huai also led his troops. Two troops were combined, and a drum sounded, surrounding Lu City with iron barrels. Tens of thousands of crossbows were fired at the city, and arrows and stones were like rain. The Wei soldiers did not dare to advance. Suddenly, the Wei army's Chuangxin Cannon Company

The sound was shocked, and the troops were not sure where to come. When Huai sent people to search for wheat fields, fires surged into the sky at the four corners, and shouts were shocked. Four Shu soldiers from all directions arrived. The four gates of Lucheng opened, and the soldiers in the city rushed out: the inside and outside were joined, and the Wei soldiers died for a while. Sima Yi led the defeated soldiers to break through the encirclement and occupied the mountain. Guo Huai also led the defeated soldiers to the back of the mountain to stalk. Kong Ming entered the city and ordered the four generals to camp at the four corners.

Guo Huai told Sima Yi, "I have been fighting with the Shu soldiers for a long time, 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, "What should I do?" Huai said, "You can issue a proclamation to dispatch Yong, and Liang's men and horses will work together to suppress the enemy. I am willing to lead the army to attack Jiange and intercept the way back, so that the food and grass will be blocked. The three armies are in a panic: At that time, the enemy can be destroyed when attacking him." Yi followed him, and immediately issued a proclamation to Yong at night. Liang transferred his troops. In a day, the general Sun Li led Yong and the troops of Liang's counties arrived.

Yi immediately ordered Sun Li to date Guo Huai to attack Jiange. However, he said that Kong Ming refused to fight in Lucheng for a long time, but he did not see the Wei soldiers going to fight. So he called Jiang Wei. Ma Dai entered the city and said, "Now the Wei soldiers guard the mountain danger and will not fight with me: one is expected to have no grain from my wheat and I have no food; the other is ordered to attack Jiange to cut off my food route. You and the two of you each lead 10,000 troops to defend the danger first. When the Wei soldiers were prepared, they naturally retreated." The two led their troops away.

Chief Secretary Yang Yi entered the tent and told him: "The Prime Minister ordered the soldiers to change every 100 days. Now the full amount has been limited. Hanzhong soldiers have left Sichuan entrance. The documents have arrived. We will exchange the soldiers only. 80,000 troops are in existence, and 40,000 should be exchanged." Kong Ming said: "After there is an order, we will teach you to go quickly." When the soldiers heard about it, they each packed up their journey. Suddenly, Sun Li led his troops to attack Lucheng. All the soldiers in Shu were shocked.

Yang Yi came in and told Kong Ming, "Why are the Wei soldiers coming? The Prime Minister can change troops and leave behind the enemy. When the new soldiers arrive, then change them." Kong Ming said, "No. I use troops to order generals, and trust is based on trust. Since there is an order first, how can I lose my trust? Moreover, those who should leave are ready to return, and their parents and wives lean on the door and look at them. Now I have a great disaster, so I will never leave him." Then, the commander who should teach the troops who should leave, and they went on that day. When the soldiers heard it, they shouted, "The Prime Minister is so kind to the public. We are willing to not return. We will sacrifice our lives to kill the Wei soldiers to repay the Prime Minister. ! "Kong Ming said, "You should go home, how can you stay here again?" All the soldiers were about to go out to fight and were unwilling to go home. Kong Ming said, "Since you want to fight with me, you can go out of the city to set up camp. When the Wei soldiers arrive, don't wait for him to breathe, so he attacks him quickly: this is a way to wait for labor." The soldiers took the order, each holding weapons, happily leaving the city, and lined up to wait. However, the people and horses of Xiliang came over the road, and the people and horses left were tired. They were about to go down to rest, but were rushed forward by the Shu soldiers. Everyone was brave, and the fierce soldiers were fierce, Yong and Liang soldiers could not resist the enemy, and they retreated. The Shu soldiers rushed to chase and kill them. Killing Na Yong, Liang's soldiers were corpses everywhere, blood flowed into a canal. Kongming went out of the city, gathered victorious soldiers, and entered the city to reward labor. Suddenly, he reported that Li Yan of Yong'an had a letter to be in urgent need. Kong Ming was shocked and opened the seal and looked at it. The book said: "I heard recently that Eastern Wu sent people to enter Luoyang and reunite with Wei Lianhe. Wei ordered Wu to take Shu, but fortunately Wu had not yet raised an army. Now Yan found out the news and hoped that the Prime Minister would make a good plan." After reading it, Kong Ming was very surprised and suspicious, so he gathered the generals and said, "If Eastern Wu raises troops to attack Shu, I must ask for a quick return." He immediately sent an order to teach the people from the Qishan Dazhai and retreat to Xichuan: "Sima Yi knew that I The troops stationed here must not dare to chase after him." So Wang Ping, Zhang Yi, Wu Ban, and Wu Yi divided the troops and slowly retreated into Xichuan. When Zhang He saw that the Shu soldiers were retreating, he was afraid that there was a plan and did not dare to pursue him. So he led his troops to see Sima Yi and said, "Now the Shu soldiers retreat, don't know what the purpose?" Yi said, "Kong Ming has many tricks, so he should not move lightly. It is better to stick to it and wait until his food is exhausted, and he will retreat naturally." General Wei Ping came out and said, "Shu soldiers were leading the camp in Qishan and retreat. You can take advantage of the momentum to chase him. The governor still holds his troops and fears Shu like a tiger, so why can the world laugh?" Yi insisted on not following.

However, Kong Ming knew that the Qishan soldiers had returned, so he ordered Yang Yi and Ma Zhong to enter the tent and gave him a secret plan, and ordered him to first lead 10,000 crossbowmen to go to the wooden doorway of Jiange, and ambush them twice. If the Wei soldiers chased him, listened to the sound of my cannons, rolled down the wooden stones, first cut off the way, and shot them at both ends at the same time. The two led their troops. They called Wei Yan again, and Guan Xing led his troops to cut off the back. The city was covered with flags and firewood in the city, and fireworks were set off. The soldiers looked at the wooden doorway and left.

The Weiying Patrol Army came to report to Sima Yi and said, "The Shu army has retreated, but I don't know how many soldiers there are in the city." Yi looked at it, and saw flags on the city, smoke rose in the city, and laughed and said, "This is an empty city." He asked to explore it, but it was an empty city. Yi was overjoyed and said, "Kongming has retreated, who dares to chase it?" The pioneer Zhang He said, "I am willing to go." Yi stopped and said, "You are impatient, so you can't go." He said, "When the governor left the pass, he ordered me to be the pioneer; today is the one who made meritorious contributions. Why don't you use me?" Yi said, "When Shu soldiers retreat, there must be ambush in the dangerous obstacles. You must be very careful before you can chase them." He said, "I already know that you have it, so don't worry." Yi said, "Don't regret it if you want to leave." He said, "A real man sacrifices his life to serve the country, and even if he dies, there will be no hatred." Yi said, "As the Duke insists on leaving, you can lead five thousand soldiers to go first; but he taught Wei Ping to lead 20,000 horses and infantry to prevent ambushing. I led three thousand soldiers to support him."

Zhang He took the order and led his troops to chase him. After walking for more than 30 miles, he suddenly shouted from behind. A general flashed out of the woods. The leader of the general sternly sternly yelled and said, "Where will the bandits lead the troops?" He looked back and looked at him. He was furious and returned to the horses to fight. After less than ten rounds, Yan pretended to be defeated and left. He chased for more than 30 miles more, and he stopped the horses and looked back. There was no ambush at all, and he rode his horses to chase him. As he turned the hillside, he suddenly shouted loudly. A general flashed out. The leader of the general, Guan Xing, and the leader of the sword, he stepped on the horses to chase him.

He shouted, "Don't drive Zhang He! I'm here!" He slapped the horses and fought. After less than ten rounds, Xing tied the horses and left. He then chased him. He rushed to a dense forest. He was suspicious and sent people to stumble around, but there were no ambushers. So he was relieved and rushed forward. He didn't expect Wei Yan to be in front. He fought with more than ten rounds, and Yan was defeated. He chased after him, but Guan Xing was in front and blocked the way. He was furious and fought against him. He fought for ten rounds. All the Shu soldiers abandoned their clothes and armor and stuffed the roads. The Wei army dismounted and fought for them.

, Xing two generals fought in turn, Zhang He bravely chased after him. Looking at the night, he rushed to the Mumen Road entrance. Wei Yan turned back his horse and cursed loudly, "Zhang He rebels! I will not resist you, you just come, I will fight you to the death!" He was very angry, and he pushed his spear and horses out of the way, and took Wei Yan straight to meet him. After more than ten rounds of battle, Yan was defeated, and he abandoned his armor, helmet, and a horse led the defeated soldiers to look in the Mumen Road. Zhang He was killed and saw Wei Yan fleeing, so he suddenly came. At this time, the sky was dark

, With a cannon, the fire on the mountain surged into the sky, and the big stones rolled down to block the road. He was shocked and said, "I'm trapped!" When he returned quickly, his back was filled with wood and stones. There was only a section of open space in the middle, and there was a cliff on both sides. He had no way to advance and retreat. Suddenly, a cliff sounded, and two thousand crossbows were fired at the same time, and Zhang He and more than a hundred generals were shot to death in the Mumen Road. Later generations wrote a poem: "The crossbows flew with ten thousand stars, and the powerful soldiers were shot on the Mumen Road. To this day, people passing by Jiange still said that the military advisor was old."

But it was said that Zhang He was dead. Then the Wei soldiers chased him and saw that the road was blocked. It was known that Zhang He was trapped. The troops pulled back their horses and retreated quickly. Suddenly, they heard the mountain shouting, "Prime Minister Zhuge is here!" The soldiers looked up and saw Kong Ming standing in the fire, pointing to the army and saying, "I am hunting today, and I want to shoot a horse, but I accidentally hit a deer. You all left with peace of mind. Overwhelmed Zhongda: I will be captured by me sooner or later." The Wei soldiers returned to Sima Yi and told the previous events in detail. Yi was very sad and sighed to the sky, "Zhang Junyi died, my fault!" Then they withdrew their troops back to Luoyang. When the Wei master heard that Zhang He died, he sighed with tears and asked to take his body and buried him with great pleasure.

However, Kong Ming entered Hanzhong and wanted to return to Chengdu to see the Later Lord. The guru Li Yan reported to the Later Lord, saying, "I have already prepared military rations. I am going to the Prime Minister's army to go to the Prime Minister's army. I don't know why the Prime Minister suddenly set up his troops." After hearing the news, the Later Lord ordered the Minister Fei Yi to go to Hanzhong to see Kong Ming and asked about the reason for the troops. Yi arrived in Hanzhong and announced the intention of the Later Lord. Kong Ming was shocked and said, "Li Yan sent a letter to inquire about the emergency, saying that the Eastern Wu was about to launch an army to attack Chuan, so he returned to the army." Fei Yi said, "Li Yan reported that the military rations had been completed, and the Prime Minister returned to the army for no reason, so the emperor ordered him to do so.

Someone came to ask me." Kong Ming was furious and asked to investigate: It was because Li Yan was not equipped with military rations and was afraid that the prime minister would be punished for seeing him, so he sent a letter to take it back, but he also reported to the emperor to cover up his mistakes. Kong Ming was furious and said, "A common man is abolishing the country's affairs for his own sake!" He asked to summon him and wanted to behead him. Fei Yi advised him, "The Prime Minister was thinking of the late emperor's intention to entrust his orphans, so he forgives him." Kong Ming followed him. Fei Yi immediately reported to the post of the post. The post master was furious and was furious and ordered the warrior to push Li Yan out to behead him. Jiang Wan, the military officer, came out to report to him and said, "

: "Li Yan was the minister who was entrusted by the late emperor to beg for grace and forgiveness." The latter lord followed him and was exiled to a commoner and moved to Zitong County to live in idleness. Kong Ming returned to Chengdu and used Li Yan's son Li Feng as the chief secretary; he accumulated grass and garrisoned grain, talked about formations and martial arts, rectified military weapons, and kept polite soldiers: after three years, the soldiers of the people of Sichuan all respected their kindness. Time passed, and three years later: in the spring of the twelfth year of Jianxing, Kong Ming came to the court and reported, "I have been caring for the soldiers now, and I have been rich in food and grass, and the military weapons are complete.

The strong men and horses can attack Wei. If you do not clear the traitors and restore the Central Plains, you will not see Your Majesty!" The latter master said, "It has now become a tripod. Wu and Wei have not invaded, why don't your father enjoy peace?" Kong Ming said, "I have received the kindness of the former emperor's knowledge. During my dreams, I have always set up a plan to attack Wei. I will do my best to conquer the Central Plains and rebuild the Han Dynasty for Your Majesty. Before I finished speaking, a person from the troupe came out and said, "Prime Minister cannot raise troops." Everyone looked at it, and it was Qiao Zhou.
Chapter completed!
