But Guo Huai said to Cao Zhen: "The people of the Western Qiang have been tributed for many years since the reign of Emperor Taizu, and Emperor Wen also has favors. Now we can seize the danger and send people to the Qiang from a small way to seek help, and promise to marry relatives. The Qiang people will raise troops to attack the Shu army. But I attacked them with large troops and attacked them from the head to the tail. Wouldn't they be a great victory?" Zhen followed him and sent someone to the Qiang night to write to the Qiang.

However, it is said that the King of the Western Qiang, Cheriji, has been tributed every year since Cao Cao. He has a man of Wen and Wu: Wen was the Prime Minister of Yadan, and Wu was the Marshal of Yueji. At that time, the envoy of Wei brought gold pearls and wrote to the country. He first came to see Prime Minister Yadan, and gave him a gift, which meant to ask for help. Yadan introduced the king and presented a letter to him. Cheriji read the book and discussed it with everyone. Yadan said, "I have always had contact with Wei. Now the governor of Cao is asking for help, and I will agree to the marriage. "Chriji followed his words and ordered Yadan and Yuejiyuan to be ordered

The commander of the Qiang soldiers was 150,000, all of whom were used to use crossbows, guns, knives, thorns, flying hammers and other weapons; there were also chariots, wrapped nails with iron leaves, loading grain and military weapons, including things: either driving a car with camels, or driving a car with mules and horses, and called iron chariot soldiers. The two resigned the king and led the troops to arrest Xiping Pass. Han Zhen, the general guarding the pass, sent someone to report to Kong Ming. When Kong Ming heard the report, he asked the generals, "Who dares to retreat Qiang soldiers?" Zhang Bao, and Guan Xing replied, "I want to go." Kong Ming said, "You two are going,

But the road was not familiar." So he called Ma Dai and said, "You know the nature of Qiang people. You have lived there for a long time and can be a guide." Then he raised 50,000 elite soldiers and went with Xing and Bao. Xing and Bao led their troops away. After a few days of travel, he met Qiang soldiers. Guan Xing first led more than a hundred cavalry to climb the hillside to see, and saw Qiang soldiers connecting the iron chariots head and tail and forming camps everywhere. The chariots were lined up, just like cities. Xing had seen them for a long time and there was no way to defeat the enemy. He returned to the camp to discuss with Zhang Bao and Ma Dai. Dai said, "Let's wait for the day to come.

Seeing the formation, watch the reality and make other plans." The next morning, we divided the troops into three groups: Guan Xing was in the middle, Zhang Bao was on the left, Ma Dai was on the right, and the three groups of soldiers advanced together. In the Qiang army, Marshal Yue Ji held an iron hammer in his hand, hung a treasure bow on his waist, and jumped out bravely. Guan Xing rushed forward three groups of soldiers. Suddenly, the Qiang army was divided on both sides, and the iron chariot was released in the center, and the bow and crossbow suddenly broke out. The Shu army was defeated, and Ma Dai and Zhang Bao retreated first; Guan Xing's army was wrapped by the Qiang army and surrounded it into the northwest corner.

Xing was in the center of Gai, and he rushed left and right, and could not get rid of it; the iron carts surrounded him closely, just like a city. Shu soldiers could not look at each other. Xingwang looked for a way in the valley and walked. Looking at the evening, he saw a cluster of soap flags swarming in. A Qiang general shouted with an iron hammer, "Don't leave! I am Marshal Yueji!" Guan Xing walked quickly to the front and tried his best to whip the horse. When he encountered a broken stream, he had to go back to his horse and fight Yueji.

Xing was so frightened that he could not resist the enemy, so he fled in the stream. When Yueji arrived, he was hit by an iron hammer. Xing quickly flew over and hit the horse's crotch. The horse fell into the stream and Xing fell into the water. Suddenly, he heard a sound, Yueji and his horse were behind him, and the water fell into the plain. Xing was rushing to see a general on the shore, killing the Qiang soldiers. Xing held a knife and waited for Yueji to be cut off. Ji jumped over the water and left. Guan Xing got Yueji's horse, led it to the shore, rectified the saddle and bridle, and got on the horse. I saw that he saw a general on the shore, and he was waiting for Yueji to be cut off.

The general was still chasing the Qiang soldiers in front of him. Xing thought that this person saved my life, so he came to meet him. He looked closer and saw a general in the clouds and mist. His face was like a heavy date, his eyebrows were like a lying silkworm, his green robe and golden armor, he carried a blue dragon sword, rode a red rabbit horse, and his hands were beautiful beard. He clearly recognized his father Guan Gong. Xing was shocked. Suddenly, he saw Guan Gong looking southeast with his hand and pointing, "My son can quickly look out for this road. I will protect you and return to the village." After saying that, he did not see him. Guan Xing looked southeast and walked quickly.

In the middle of the night, suddenly a Biao army arrived, and Zhang Bao asked Xing, "Have you ever seen your second uncle?" Xing said, "How can you know that?"

Bao said, "I was chased by the iron chariot army. Suddenly, I saw my uncle coming down from the sky, and he was shocked to retreat Qiang soldiers, saying, "You go from this road to save my son." Therefore, he led the army to find you." Guan Xing also talked about the past, and they both sighed at each other. The two returned to the village together. Ma Dai then said to the two, "The army has no way to retreat. I will guard the village, and you will report to the prime minister and use a plan to break it." So Xing, Bao and the two came to see Kong Ming at night and were about to talk about this. Kong Ming followed Zhao Yun and Wei Yan each led a army to ambush. Then he ordered 30,000 troops and brought Jiang Wei, Zhang Ji, Guan Xing, and Zhang Bao to personally go to Ma Dai Village to settle down.

When I was watching the high hills, I saw that the iron carts were connected continuously, and the people and horses were scattered. Kong Ming said, "This is not difficult to break." He called Ma Dai, and Zhang Ji shared this and this. When the two left, they called Jiang Wei and said, "Do you know the way to break the cart?" Wei said, "The Qiang people only rely on their courage, but do you know the wonderful plan?" Kong Ming smiled and said, "You know my heart. Now the clouds are dense, the north wind is urgent, and the sky is about to snow, so my plan can be implemented." Then he ordered Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to lead the troops to ambush. He ordered Jiang Wei to lead the troops to fight: but the iron cart soldiers come, and they retreat and leave; the camp has set up flags and no military horses. The preparations have been made.

At that time, it was snowing heavily. Jiang Wei led his army out, and Yueji led his iron chariots and soldiers. Jiang Wei retreated. Qiang soldiers rushed to the front of the camp, and Jiang Wei left behind. Qiang soldiers went to the outside of the camp to watch. When they heard the sound of playing zithers in the camp, flags were raised in the walls, and they were eager to repay Yueji. Yueji was suspicious and did not dare to advance lightly. Prime Minister Yadan said, "This is Zhuge Liang's trick, and he is suspicious of the soldiers. You can attack him." Yueji led his troops to the front of the camp, but saw Kong Ming bringing Qin onto the carriage, leading several cavalry into the camp, and then walked behind. Qiang soldiers rushed into the camp.

He rushed straight through the mountain pass and saw a small cart vaguely turning into the forest. Yadan said to Yueji, "Although these soldiers are ambushed, they are not afraid." So he led the soldiers to chase them. He also saw Jiang Wei's soldiers running in the snow. Yueji was furious and urged the soldiers to chase them urgently. The mountain road was covered by snow, and they looked flat. Just as they were rushing, they suddenly reported that the Shu soldiers came out from behind the mountain. Yadan said, "Even if there are some small ambushers, how can they be afraid!" He only urged the soldiers and horses to move forward. Suddenly, there was a sound, like a mountain collapse and the land was sinking, and the Qiang soldiers fell into a pit;

The iron chariots in the rear were running tightly, and they were difficult to stop, and rushed in and trampled on each other. When the soldiers in the rear were about to return, Guan Xing on the left and Zhang Bao on the right, the two armies rushed out, and ten thousand crossbows were launched at the same time. The soldiers from Jiang Wei, Ma Dai and Zhang Ji arrived again. The iron chariots and soldiers were in chaos. Marshal Yueji fled in the valley behind, and it was Guan Xing. He only had one horse handed over, but was shouted with a knife and killed him. Prime Minister Yadan was captured alive by Ma Dai, and he came to Dazhai. Qiang soldiers fled in scattered. Kong Ming promoted the tent, and Ma Dai came to Yadan. Kong.

Ming ordered the warrior to leave his bondage, gave him wine to suppress his shock, and comforted him with kind words. Yadan deeply felt his virtue. Kongming said, "My lord is the Emperor of Han. Now I am ordering me to fight against the thieves. How can you help me? I will let you go back now and say to your lord: Our country is your neighboring country, and you will always form an alliance. Don't listen to the rebels." Then he returned to Yadan and returned to the country. Everyone thanked him and left. Kongming led the three armies to the Qishan camp overnight and ordered Guanxing and Zhang Bao to lead the army first. On the other hand, he sent someone to report the victory.

However, Cao Zhen was looking for news from the Qiang people for several days, and suddenly a hidden army came to report: "Shu soldiers pulled out their camps and packed up their journey." Guo Huai was very happy and said, "This is because of the Qiang soldiers attacking, so you retreat." So he chased them in two ways. The Shu soldiers in front of him were running around, and the Wei soldiers followed him. The vanguard Cao Zun was just rushing, and suddenly the drum sound was loud, and a treacherous army flashed out. The general was Wei Yan, who shouted, "Don't leave if the treacherous thieves!" Cao Zun was shocked and beat the horse to confront him. Without three rounds, he was killed by Wei Yan with a knife. Deputy vanguard Zhu Zan was instigated.

The soldiers chased after a sudden, a general was Zhao Yun. Zhu Zan was caught off guard and was stabbed to death by Yun. Cao Zhen and Guo Huai saw that the vanguard on the west road were in trouble and wanted to withdraw the troops. The shouts from behind were shocked, and the drums and horns were heard: Guan Xing and Zhang Bao killed each other, surrounded Cao Zhen and Guo Huai, and killed for a while. Cao and Guo led the defeated soldiers to escape. The Shu soldiers were completely victorious and chased to the Wei River and seized the Wei Village. Cao Zhen lost the two vanguards and was deeply sad. He had to write a book on the Shen Dynasty and beg for reinforcements.

However, the Wei lord Cao Rui set up a dynasty, and his close ministers reported, "The Grand Commander Cao Zhen was defeated several times in Shu, and two vanguards were defeated, and the Qiang soldiers were defeated countless times. The momentum was very urgent. Now I am asking for help and ask Your Majesty to sack the office." Rui was shocked and asked for a plan to retreat. Hua Xin reported, "Your Majesty must be the commander of the army, and the princes should be convened to all the people. Otherwise, there will be a mistake in Chang'an and the Guanzhong will be in danger!" The Grand Tutor Zhong Yao reported, "Anyone who is a general who is more wise than others can control people. The grandson's son is very proud.

He said: Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will win every battle. I believe that although Cao Zhen has been using troops for a long time, he is not a match for Zhuge Liang. I recommend that one person be able to withdraw the Shu army. Is the saint's intention accurate?" Rui said: "You are the old Yuan minister. What kind of wise men can withdraw the Shu army. I have summoned me to share my worries with me." Zhong Yao reported: "Those who are in the direction of Zhuge Liang wanted to raise an army to invade the territory, but they were afraid of this person, so they scattered rumors, which made Your Majesty doubt and leave, and dared to advance for a long time. If you use it again, Liang will retreat."

Rui asked who was the one. Yao said, "The General of the Cavalry is Sima Yi." Rui sighed and said, "I regret this. Where is Zhongda now?" Yao said, "I recently heard that Zhongda lives in Wancheng." Rui immediately issued an edict, sent an envoy to hold his official position, and regained Sima Yi's official position, and was appointed as the governor of Pingxi. He then set up the army and horses of Nanyang and went to Chang'an. Rui personally led the army and ordered Sima Yi to meet at the meeting on the day of the day. The mission was staring at Wancheng at night.

However, since Kong Ming came out of the army, he had won a complete victory and was very happy. He was in the Qishan Village, where he gathered to discuss matters, and suddenly reported that Li Yan, the son of the Yong'an Palace, came to see him. Kong Ming only said that Eastern Wu had invaded the territory, and was very surprised and asked him to come to the tent. Feng said, "I came to report the good news." Kong Ming said, "What's the joy?" Feng said, "In the past, Meng Da surrendered to Wei, but he had no choice. At that time, Cao did not love his talent, so he gave him a horse and a golden pearl. He went in and out with his chariot and was appointed as the attendant of the Sanqi cavalry, led the prefect of Xincheng, guarded Shangyong, Jincheng and other places, and entrusted him to the west.

Nan Zhiren. Since his death, Cao Rui ascended the throne, many people in the court were jealous. Meng Da was restless day and night, and often said to the generals: "I am a general of Shu, and the momentum is imminent." Now he sent a confidant to him to come to see his father with a letter, and he taught him to report to the Prime Minister sooner or later: The former had this intention when he went down to Sichuan for five routes. Now he heard that the Prime Minister attacked Wei, and wanted to raise Jincheng, Xincheng, and Shangyong three military horses. He took the matter to him and took Luoyang directly: The Prime Minister took Chang'an, and the two capitals were settled. Now he attracted people and submitted letters to him many times." Kong Ming was very happy and rewarded Li Feng and others.

Suddenly, he reported to someone carefully: "The Wei lord Cao Rui, who traveled to Chang'an, and on the other hand, ordered Sima Yi to be re-elected and appointed as the governor of Pingxi, and set up the troops of his original position to gather in Chang'an." Kong Ming was shocked. Ma Su, the military officer, said: "What is the point of measuring Cao Rui? If you come to Chang'an, you can capture him. Why is the Prime Minister surprised?" Kong Ming said: "I am afraid of Cao Rui? Only Sima Yi is the only one. Now Meng Da wants to do a major event, but if he meets Sima Yi, the matter will be defeated. Da is not a rival to Sima Yi.

He will definitely be captured. If Meng Da died, it will not be easy to obtain the Central Plains." Ma Su said, "Why not hurry to write a book and ask Meng Da to be wary?" Kong Ming followed it and immediately compiled a book to ask people to repay Meng Da at night. However, Meng Da was in Xincheng and was looking for the rewards of his confidants. One day, his confidant came and presented Kong Ming's reply to the book. Meng Da opened it and looked at it. The book briefly said, "I have obtained a book recently, and I know the loyalty and righteousness of Gong and never forget the old. I am very happy to comfort him. If I accomplish great things, I will be the most meritorious official in the revival of the Han Dynasty.

However, it is very important to be careful and not to ask others to be careful! Be careful! I heard recently that Cao Rui ordered Sima Yi to rise up Wan. If the soldiers of Luo were told to come first, they would come first. They must be fully prepared and not regarded as idle." Meng Da finished reading and laughed and said, "People said that Kong Ming had a lot of heart, and now you can know this." Then he wrote a letter and asked his confidant to come to answer Kong Ming. Kong Ming called him into the tent. The person presented the letter to the previous letter. Kong Ming opened the seal and looked at it. The book said, "When you follow the Jun teachings, how dare you be lazy? I personally say that Sima Yi's affairs are not afraid: Wancheng is about 800 miles away from Luoyang and 1,200 miles to Xincheng. If Sima Yi heard about Da's affairs, he must report to the Lord of Wei. After a month of repeated affairs, Da's city was already solid, and all the generals and the three armies were in a deep and dangerous place. Sima Yi came immediately, why should Da be afraid? The Prime Minister was generous and only listened to the good news!"

After reading it, Kong Ming threw the book on the ground and said, "Meng Da must die at the hands of Sima Yi!" Ma Su asked, "What does the Prime Minister mean?" Kong Ming said, "The military strategy is that if you attack him, you will be unprepared and you will be surprised. How can you expect it to be in a month? After Cao Rui appointed Sima Yi and he would be eliminated when he met the enemy. Why wait for the report? If you know that Meng Da rebelled, it will not take ten days for the troops to arrive. How can you catch your guard?" All the generals were convinced. Kong Ming urgently ordered the visitor to report, "If you have not done anything, don't teach your colleagues to know it; if you know it, you will be defeated." The man bowed and returned to Xincheng.

But Sima Yi lived in Wancheng. When he heard that the Wei soldiers were defeated in Shu, he sighed to the sky. Yi's eldest son Sima Shi, whose courtesy name was Ziyuan; his second son Sima Zhao, whose courtesy name was Zishang: both of them have great ambitions and are well-versed in military writing. On that day, he stood by Yi and saw Yi sighing, and asked, "What is your father sighing?" Yi said, "Do you know the big things?" Sima Shi said, "Do you sigh that the Lord of Wei is not used?" Sima Zhao laughed and said, "I will come to summon my father sooner or later." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly reported that the angel was here to hold his integrity. After Yi heard the edict, he transferred the army and horses from all over the Wancheng.

Suddenly, he reported to the family of Shen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng, and asked for a secret matter. Yi called him into the secret room to ask him about it. The person explained in detail about Meng Da's intention to reverse it. Some Meng Da's confidant Li Fu and Da's nephew Deng Xian, followed the letter and gave him a letter. After hearing this, Sima Yi added his forehead with his hands and said, "This is the great blessing of the emperor and the heavens! Zhuge Liang's soldiers were in Qishan, and they killed everyone inside and outside. Today, he had no choice but to be lucky to Chang'an. If I don't use my time at night, Meng Da will stop the two capitals! This thief must plan Zhuge Liang. I will capture him first, and Zhuge Liang will be heartbroken and retreated his troops." The eldest son Sima Shi said, "Father can write a letter to the emperor urgently." Yi said, "If you wait for the imperial edict, it will be over for a month, and there will be no matter what." He ordered the men and horses to set off, and they will go on a two-day journey a day, as if they were late to behead him; on the other hand, Liang Ji ordered the army to go to Xincheng with a letter at night, and taught Meng Da and others to prepare for the conquest.

He made him not doubt it. Liang Ji went first, and Yi then sent troops. After two days of his journey, an army turned out from the hillside. Then the right general Xu Huang. Huang got off his horse and saw Yi and said, "The emperor arrived in Chang'an and personally refused the Shu army. Where is the governor now?" Yi said, "Now Meng Da rebelled, I will capture him." Huang said, "I want to be the vanguard." Yi was very happy and joined forces. Xu Huang was in the front, and Yi was in the middle army, and his two sons were apprehended. He went again.

The second day, the front army whistled and horses captured Meng Da's confidant, found Kong Ming's reply letter, and came to see Sima Yi. Yi said, "I won't kill you, you will start to explain in detail." The man had to tell Kong Ming and Meng Da's reciprocity one by one. Yi read Kong Ming's reply letter and was shocked and said, "What those who can do in the world see are the same. My trick was first discovered by Kong Ming. Fortunately, the emperor was blessed and received this news: Meng Da is powerless now." So he urged the army to move forward at night.

But Meng Da was in Xincheng and asked Shen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng, and Shen Dan, the prefect of Shangyong, to carry out affairs. Danyi and the two pretended to agree to it and trained their troops every day. They just waited for the Wei soldiers to arrive, and then responded to Meng Da's words: the military equipment, food and grass are not complete, so they dare not make an appointment to start a rebellion.

Da Xinzhi did not doubt it. Suddenly, he reported that the army was coming from Liang Ji, and Meng Da welcomed into the city. The rumor of the Ji Sima Yi general today: "Sima Governor is now in the emperor's order to raise all the troops to retreat to Shu. The prefect can gather the troops and horses of the headquarters to wait for the dispatch." Da asked, "When will the governor set off?" Ji said, "At this time, he made an appointment to leave Wancheng and look for Chang'an." Da secretly said, "My great affairs are accomplished!" So he set up a banquet to wait for Liang Ji, and sent them out of the city, and immediately reported Shen Dan. Shen Yi knew that tomorrow, he would change the flag of the Han Dynasty, send them to the army and horses, and take Luoyang directly. Suddenly, "The dust outside the city is soaring into the sky, and I don't know where the soldiers are coming." Meng Da climbed into the city to look at him, and saw a army, rushing to the city under the banner of "right general Xu Huang". Da was shocked,

Xu Huang quickly pulled up the suspension bridge. Xu Huang sat down and couldn't clean up, so he went to the trench and shouted, "Rebel Meng Da, accept surrender early!" Da was furious and shot him quickly, hit Xu Huang's forehead, and Wei generals rescued him. Arrows shot down from the city, and Wei soldiers retreated. Meng Da was about to open the door to chase him, and flags covered the sun on all sides. Sima Yi's soldiers arrived. Da sighed to the sky and said, "It was not as expected by Kong Ming!" So he kept holding his door. However, Xu Huang was shot at the forehead by Meng Da, and the troops rescued the camp, took the arrow, and ordered the doctor to treat him. He died that night, at the age of 59. Sima Yi asked him to carry the coffin and return to Luoyang for burial. The next day, Meng Da climbed the city and looked around, and saw that the Wei soldiers surrounded the iron barrels on all sides. Da was uneasy and was shocked and doubted, but suddenly he saw

Two soldiers came from outside, and the flag was written by "Shen Dan" and "Shen Yi". Meng Da only said that the rescue army was coming, so he hurriedly led the troops to open the city gate and attacked out. Dan, Yi shouted, "Don't leave! Death early!" Seeing the incident, Da tied the horses to the city and walked away. Arrows shot down the city. Li Fu and Deng Xian cursed on the city, saying, "We have already offered the city!" Da walked away and Shen Dan rushed over. The master was trapped and caught off guard. He was stabbed by Shen Dan and shot his head. The rest of the army surrendered. Li Fu and Deng Xian opened the city gate to welcome Sima Yi into the city. After the army was exhausted, he sent someone to report to the master of Wei Cao Rui. Rui was overjoyed and taught the general Meng Da to go to Luoyang to show his position. Shen Dan was added, and Shen Yi was the official position.

Then he followed Sima Yi to advance. He ordered Li Fu and Deng Xian to guard the new city and Shangyong. However, Sima Yi led his troops to the camp outside Chang'an City. Yi came to see the Wei Lord. Rui was overjoyed and said, "I was unclear for a while, and I regretted it because I was wrong to rebel. Now that I have rebelled, it is not yours, and the two capitals will be closed!" Yi reported, "I heard that Shen Yi secretly told you to rebel, and I wanted to report to Your Majesty, but I was afraid that it would be delayed, so I did not wait for the imperial edict and left at night. If I waited for the report, I would be obeying Zhuge Liang's plan." After saying that, he brought Kong Ming back to Mengda's secret letter. Rui read it and said, "Your knowledge is more than Sun, and Wu!" He gave a pair of golden sharks and axes. Later, he encountered a secret and important matter, so he did not need to report it and acted at a disadvantage. So he ordered Sima Yi to leave the pass and break Shu.

Yi reported, "I am raising a general, and you can be the vanguard." Rui said, "Who are you raising?" Yi said, "The right general Zhang He can take this position." Rui smiled and said, "I am just trying to use it." So he ordered Zhang He to be the vanguard in front and follow Sima Yi to Chang'an to defeat the Shu army.
Chapter completed!
