In April of the summer of the seventh year of Jianxing in Shu Han, Kong Ming soldiers were divided into three camps, waiting for the Wei soldiers. However, Sima Yi led his troops to Chang'an, Zhang He met and prepared for the previous events. Yi ordered He to be the vanguard and Dai Ling as the deputy general, leading 100,000 soldiers to Qishan and heading south of the Wei River. Guo Huai and Sun Li entered the camp to meet. Yi asked, "Have you ever fought against the Shu soldiers?" The two answered, "No." Yi said, "Shu soldiers came thousands of miles away, and the advantage was to fight quickly; if we don't fight here, we must have plans. Have you ever had any information in the Longxi route?" Huai said, "I have already done a detailed study to explore the counties very carefully and be wary day and night, and there is nothing else. There is only Wudu and Yinping, and there is no return." Yi said, "I sent someone to fight Kongming. You and the two of you rushed to rescue the two counties from a small road, but they were hidden behind the Shu soldiers, and they will be in chaos."

The two of them were trapped and led 5,000 troops to rescue Wudu from the small road in Longxi. Yinping came to attack the Shu soldiers. Guo Huai said to Sun Li on the road, "How is Zhongda better than Kongming?" Li said, "Kongming is much better than Zhongda." Huai said, "Although Kongming wins, this plan shows that Zhongda has extraordinary wisdom. If the Shu soldiers are attacking two counties, we will be trapped from behind, will they be confused?" In the right words, he suddenly sent a horse to report: "Yin Ping has been broken by Wang Ping, and Wudu has been broken by Jiang Wei. The front is not far from Shu soldiers." Li said, "Shu soldiers have broken the city.

How to distribute troops outside the Chi? There must be deception. It is better to retreat quickly." Guo Huai followed him. When the commander of the army to retreat, a cannon suddenly sounded, and a horse flashed from behind the mountain. A large letter on the flag was written: "Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang". A four-wheeler in the center was sitting upright. Guanxing on the left and Zhang Bao on the right. Sun and Guo saw it, and were shocked. Kong Ming laughed and said, "Guo Huai, Sun Li don't leave! How can Sima Yi hide the plan from me? He asked you to fight in front every day, but he told you to attack our army. Wudu, Yinping I have taken it.

You and the other two came to surrender early, and wanted to drive their troops to fight me to fight?" Guo Huai and Sun Li heard this and panicked. Suddenly, they shouted to kill Lian Tian from behind. Wang Ping and Jiang Wei led their troops to come from behind. Xing and Bao led their troops to fight from the front. They attacked each other twice, and the Wei soldiers were defeated. Guo and Sun abandoned their horses and climbed the mountain. Zhang Bao saw it and rushed to the river. Unexpectedly, they fell into the stream with their horses. The rear army hurriedly rescued them, but their heads had fallen below. Kong Ming sent them to Chengdu to recuperate.

But Guo and Sun escaped, and returned to Sima Yi and said, "Wudu, Yinping, two counties have been lost. Kong Ming bent on the important road, attacked and killed, so he was defeated, abandoned his horse and walked, and then he was able to escape." Yi said, "It is not your fault, Kong Mingzhi is my first. You can lead troops to guard the two cities of Yong and Ji, and do not fight. I have a plan to defeat the enemy." The two bowed and left. Yi called Zhang He again, and Dai Ling said, "Now that Kong Ming has obtained Wudu, Yinping will definitely pacify the people to calm the hearts of the people, and it is not in the camp. You two each lead 10,000 elite soldiers, get up tonight, and raid the Shu army camp, and fight bravely to come over. I lead the army to set up a formation in front, just waiting for the chaos of the Shu army. I drive the soldiers and horses to attack and kill in: the two armies work together to seize the Shu camp. If you get the mountain situation here, how difficult is it to break the enemy?" The two men were guided to lead their troops away.

Dai Ling is on the left and Zhang He is on the right. Each takes a small path and goes deep into the Shu army. At the third o'clock in the morning, he came to the main road. The two armies met and joined forces, but came from behind the Shu army. Less than thirty miles away, the front army was not allowed. Zhang and Dai rode their horses and looked at them, and saw hundreds of straw carts crossing the road. He said, "This must be prepared. You can hurry to get back." Then he ordered the retreating army. The fires are bright all over the mountains, and the drums and horns are shaking. The ambush soldiers are all out, surrounding them. Kong Ming shouted on the Qishan Mountains, "Dailing, Zhang He can listen to me: Sima Yi predicted that I would go to Wudu to sank the people, and it is not in the camp, so he ordered you to rob my camp, but fell into my plan. You and you are not named generals, so I will not kill them, and get off the horse

He surrendered early!" He was furious and pointed at Kong Ming and scolded, "You are a village man in the mountains and wilderness. How dare you say this? If I catch you, you will be broken into pieces!" After saying that, he drove his horse and spear up the mountain. The arrows and stones on the mountain were like rain. He could not go up the mountain, so he slapped his horse and danced his guns and broke out of the encirclement. No one dared to take it. Shu soldiers trapped Dai Ling in the center of Gai. He fought out the old road, but did not see Dai Ling, so he bravely turned over and broke into the encirclement, rescued Dai Ling and returned. Kong Ming was on the mountain and saw He was in the conflict among the troops, and his bravery was even more powerful. He said to his left and right: "I once heard that Zhang Yide fought against Zhang He, and everyone was frightened. I saw him today and realized that he was brave. If this person is left, it will be a disaster in Shu. I should eliminate it." Then he collected the army and returned to the camp.

But Sima Yi led his troops into a formation, just waiting for the Shu soldiers to move around and attacked them together. Suddenly, he saw Zhang He and Dai Ling came in a mess and said, "Kong Ming was so cautious first, so he was defeated and returned." Yi was shocked and said, "Kong Ming is a real god! It is better to retreat." He immediately ordered the army to return to the camp and not to leave. Moreover, Kong Ming was victorious, and there were countless equipment and horses he obtained, so he led the army back to the camp. He ordered Wei Yan to challenge him every day, but the Wei soldiers did not come out. He had not fought for a long time. Kong Ming was thinking about the tent, but suddenly he reported that the emperor sent the minister Fei Yi to come with an edict. Kong Ming took the camp and burned incense and finished his edict and read, "The battle at Jieting is the result of

Ma Su; and the king was deeply depressed. He was seriously against the king's will and obeyed the guards. He was Yaoshi the emperor and killed Wang Shuang. This year, he loves to the army, Guo Huai fled; surrendered to Jishi, Qiang, and revived the two counties: they were powerful and violent, and their merits were obvious. Today, he was harassed. Yuan was not abducted. The king received a great responsibility and was responsible for the country's heavy responsibility, but he was suppressed and damaged for a long time. It was not the reason why Hong Lie was promoted. Now he was regained the prime minister, so he should not resign!" Kong Ming heard the imperial edict and said to Fei Yi, "If my country has not been completed, how can I restore the position of the prime minister?" He refused to accept it. Yi said, "If the prime minister does not accept the position, he will violate the will of the emperor and become cold in the hearts of the generals. It is better to accept it." Kong Ming just accepted it. Yi resigned.

Seeing that Sima Yi was not out, Kongming thought of a plan and ordered everyone to pull up camps and rise up. Someone should report to Sima Yi in detail and say that Kong Ming had retreated. Yi said, "Kongming must have a great plan, and should not move lightly." Zhang He said, "This must be returned because the food is gone, so how can we not chase it?"

Yi said, "I expect Kongming to have a harvest last year, and now the wheat is ripe and the food is abundant. Although the transportation is difficult, I can still stammer for half a year. How can I leave? He saw that I have not fought for a few days, so I pretended to be this plan to lure him. I can send him far away." The soldiers found out and reported, "Kongming was thirty miles away from here to get off the camp." Yi said, "I expect Kongming would not leave. Let's stand firm in the camp, so I should not advance lightly." After staying for a few days, there was no news, and there was no news. Shu would not be in the future. Yi sent a sentry to find out again, and replied, "Shu soldiers have already gone to the camp." Yi did not believe, so he changed his clothes and mixed them in the army. He came to see him in person. As a result, he saw that the Shu soldiers retreated thirty miles to get off the camp. Yi returned to the camp and said, "This is it."

It was Kong Ming's plan, so he should not chase after him." He stayed for another ten days and sent a whistle to the camp again. He said, "The Shu soldiers retreated thirty miles to the camp." He said, "Kongming used a slow-down strategy to retreat gradually to Hanzhong. Why did the governor doubt that he would not chase him early? He was willing to go to a battle!" Yi said, "Kongming had many tricks. If there were any mistakes, he would lose the spirit of our army. You should not advance lightly." He said, "If you go, you will be willing to be the military order." Yi said, "Since you want to go, you can divide the troops into two branches: You lead one branch first, and you must fight hard to fight to the death; I will then respond to it to prevent the ambush. You advance the next day and station halfway, and fight the next day, so that there will be no shortage of troops." Then the division of troops was completed.

The next day, Zhang He and Dai Ling led dozens of deputy generals and 30,000 elite soldiers, bravely advanced, and arrived at the camp halfway. Sima Yi left many troops to guard the camp, and only led 5,000 elite soldiers, and then advanced. It turned out that Kong Ming secretly sent a whistle to investigate and saw the Wei soldiers stop halfway. That night, Kong Ming called all the generals to discuss and said, "Now that the Wei soldiers are chasing, they will definitely fight to the death. You must use one to ten. I will intercept the descendants with an ambush. I cannot take this position if I am not a wise and brave general." After speaking, he looked at Wei Yan. Yan lowered his head and said, "I would like to take it." Kong Ming said, "If there is any mistake, what?" Ping said, "I would like to be the military order." Kong Ming sighed and said, "Wang Ping is willing to sacrifice his life to take arrows and stones, and he is a true loyal minister!

Even so, the Wei soldiers came from two branches to the front and back, and stopped my ambush in the middle. Even if they were wise and brave, they could only be one head, so how could they be divided into two places? It would be a good idea to have another general go with them. However, there is no one in the army who will die first!" Before the words were finished, a general came out and said, "I would like to go!" Kong Ming looked at it, and it was Zhang Yi. Kong Ming said, "Zhang He is a famous general of Wei, and he has the courage to be unworthy of thousands of men. You are not the enemy."

Yi said, "If there is any mistake, I would like to offer my head to the tent." Kong Ming said, "If you dare to leave, you can lead 10,000 elite soldiers to lie in the valley with Wang Ping; just wait for the Wei soldiers to catch up and let him pass by, but you will lead the ambush troops from behind and kill them. If Sima Yi then comes, he will divide the troops from both ends: Zhang Yi leads an army to be the back team, and Wang Ping leads an army to intercept his front team. The two armies need to fight to the death. I have different plans to help." The two men were led away by the plan.

Kong Ming called Jiang Wei again, and Liao Hua divided the money and said, "I will use you two to draw three thousand elite soldiers, stop the flag and hang up on the front mountain. If you see the Wei soldiers surrounding Wang Ping and Zhang Yi, it is very critical and you don't have to go to rescue me. You just open the secret bag and look at it, and you will have your own solutions to the danger."

The two of them were trapped and led their troops away. They ordered the four generals of Wu Ban, Wu Yi, Ma Zhong and Zhang Yi to follow their ears and say, "The Wei soldiers arrived on the Tathagata day and were in full force. They should not be welcomed. Let's fight and leave. Just look at Guan Xing when he led his troops to plunder the formation, you will return to the army to kill him. I will have my own troops to take him back." The four generals were trapped and led their troops away. Then they called Guan Xing and said, "You will lead five thousand elite soldiers and hide in the valley; you will only watch the red flags on the mountain move, but you will lead the troops out." Xing was trapped and led the troops away.

But Zhang He and Dai Ling led their troops to come, and it suddenly turned into a storm. Ma Zhong, Zhang Yi, Wu Yi, and the four generals of Wu Ban continued to fight.

Zhang He was furious and drove the troops to chase. The Shu soldiers fought and left. The Wei soldiers chased after about twenty miles. It was June, and it was very hot, and the people and horses were sweating like water. When they walked fifty miles away, all the Wei soldiers were panting. Kong Ming used a red flag on the mountain, and Guan Xing led his troops out. Ma Zhong and four other generals led their troops to cover them and killed them. Zhang He and Dai Ling fought to the death and refused to retreat. Suddenly, the shouts were loudly shocked, and the two armies rushed out, and it was Wang Ping and Zhang Yi. They all bravely chased and intercepted their retreat. He shouted to the generals and said, "When you come here, you will fight to the death, what else can you do?

At that time!" Wei soldiers clashed hard and could not escape. Suddenly, the drums and horns behind him were roaring, and Sima Yi led his own elite troops to kill him. Yi commanded the generals and surrounded Wang Ping and Zhang Yi in Gai Xin. Yi shouted, "The Prime Minister is a real god! The plan has been settled, and there must be a good plan. We should fight to the death!" Then we divided the troops into two groups: Ping led an army to intercept Zhang He, Dai Ling, and Yi led an army to be Sima Yi. Fighting to the death on both ends is called killing Lian Tian. Jiang Wei and Liao Hua visited the mountain. Seeing that the Wei soldiers were strong and the Shu troops were in danger, they gradually could not resist. Wei said to Hua, "It's so dangerous

If you are anxious, you can open a bag of tricks to see the plan." The two of them opened and looked at it. The inside said, "If Sima Yi's army came to surround Wang Ping, Zhang Yi was anxious, you can divide the troops and attack Sima Yi's camp; Yi must retreat quickly, you can attack him in chaos. Although the camp was not available, you can win a complete victory." The two of them were very happy and divided the troops and attacked Sima Yi's camp. It turned out that Sima Yi was also afraid that Kong Ming's plan would be followed, and he would not stop along the way to report it. While Yi was urging the battle, he suddenly reported that the Shu soldiers had taken the big camp from both sides. Yi was shocked and said to the generals: "

I think Kongming had a plan, but you didn't believe it, so you forced to chase him, but it missed a big deal!" He immediately raised his troops and returned in a hurry. The army was in a panic. Zhang Yi then covered the killing, and the Wei soldiers were defeated. Zhang He and Dai Ling saw the lonely situation, and they also looked at the remote mountain road and walked on the mountain. The Shu soldiers won a great victory. Guan Xing led his troops to meet the various routes behind him. Sima Yi was defeated for a long time. When he ran into the camp, the Shu soldiers had already returned. Yi gathered the defeated troops and scolded the generals, saying, "You don't know the military strategy, you only rely on your blood and courage, and you are trying to fight, which leads to such a defeat. Do not act rashly in the future, and do not follow the rules of the army again!"

Everyone retreated in shame. During this period, many people died in the Wei army, abandoning countless horses and equipment. However, it was said that Kong Ming had taken the victorious army and entered the camp, and wanted to raise an army to make progress. Suddenly, someone came from Chengdu and said that Zhang Bao was dead. Kong Ming heard that, he burst into tears, vomited blood, and was fainted on the ground. Everyone woke up. Kong Ming became sick and bedridden. All the generals were grateful. Later generations sighed and said, "Zhang Bao wanted to make achievements, but he was pitiful to heaven and did not help the heroes! Wuhou shed tears to the west wind, and no one bowed for his thoughts."

Ten days later, Kong Ming called Dong Jue, Fan Jian and others to enter the tent and pay, "I feel drowsy and cannot manage the affairs; why don't you go back to Hanzhong to recuperate and make good plans. Don't let go: If Sima Yi knows, he will come to attack." Then he sent an order and told him to secretly pull the camp that night, and they all returned to Hanzhong. After Kong Ming left for five days, Yi sighed and said, "Kong Ming really has a plan of being out of sight, and I can't do it!" So Sima Yi left the generals in the camp and divided his troops to guard the passes everywhere; Yi returned from his own army.

However, Kong Ming led a large army to Hanzhong and returned to Chengdu to recuperate. Civil and military officials went out of the city to greet him and sent him to the prime minister's mansion. The latter emperor came to ask about the illness and ordered the imperial doctor to treat him. He gradually recovered. In the autumn of the eighth year of Jianxing, the Wei governor Cao Zhen was sick and said, "Shu soldiers invaded the boundaries several times and repeatedly invaded the Central Plains. If they were not eliminated, they would be a future trouble. It is cold now, and the people and horses are at peace and are in full swing. I am willing to lead the army with Sima Yi, go straight to Hanzhong, destroy the treacherous party, and clear the border." The Wei master was overjoyed and asked the attendant Liu Ye, "What does Zidan advise me to attack Shu?" Ye reported, "The general's words are the words. If it is not eliminated now, it will be a great trouble later. Your Majesty can do it.

Rui nodded. Ye went home. Some ministers asked, "I heard that the emperor and the public planned to launch an army to attack Shu. What's the matter?" Ye replied, "There is no such thing. Shu has the danger of mountains and rivers, so it cannot be easy to plan; it is useless to spend the effort of the army and horses, which is of no use to the country." All the officials came out silently. Yang Ji went in and reported, "I heard that Liu Ye advised Your Majesty to attack Shu. Today he discussed with the ministers, and said that he should not attack. This is a fool. Why not summon him and ask him?" Rui immediately summoned Liu Ye and asked, "You are advised to attack Shu. Now he said, "I will carefully consider it, and Shu cannot be attacked." Rui laughed. When he was young, Yang Ji went out. Ye reported, "I advised Your Majesty to attack Shu yesterday, which is a major matter of the country. How can you leak it to others? The military is a trick: the matter has not been released, so it should be kept secret." Rui Dawu said, "You are saying this." Since then, he respected more and more.

Within a few days, Sima Yi entered the court, and the general of Wei, Cao Zhen, reported the matter one by one. Yi reported, "I believe that Eastern Wu did not dare to move troops, and today we can take advantage of this to attack Shu." Rui immediately appointed Cao Zhen as the Grand Sima, the Grand General of the West, Sima Yi as the General, the Deputy General of the West, and Liu Ye as the Military Advisor. The three of them bowed to the Lord of Wei, led 400,000 soldiers, walked forward to Chang'an, rushed straight to Jiange, and came to take Hanzhong. The rest of Guo Huai, Sun Li and others took the way. Hanzhong people reported to Chengdu. At this time, Kong Ming was sick a lot, and practiced people and horses every day, learned the methods of the Eight Formations, and they were all skillful and wanted to take the Central Plains. After hearing this news, they called Zhang Yi, and Wang Ping said, "You two will lead a thousand soldiers to guard the ancient road of Chencang to be the Wei soldiers; but I will bring the soldiers and come.

Receive the response." The two said, "The Wei army reported 400,000, and they pretended to be 800,000. The momentum was very strong. How could they only go to guard the pass with one thousand soldiers? If the Wei army arrived, why should they refuse it?" Kongming said, "I want to give more, but I am afraid that the soldiers will work hard." The stern and Ping looked at each other, but they did not dare to go. Kongming said, "If there is any mistake, it is not your crime. There is no need to say too much, so you can go away quickly." The two said, "The Prime Minister wants to kill two people, so they will kill them, but they dare not go." Kongming smiled and said, "How foolish! I ordered you to go, and I have your own opinions: I looked up at the astronomy last night and saw that Bi Xing was divided into Taiyin. There must be heavy rain in this month. Although the Wei army has 400,000, how dare you go deep into the dangerous mountains? Therefore, you don't need to have more troops and will never be harmed. I will be very big.

The troops were all in Hanzhong for one month. When the Wei soldiers retreated, they were covered with large soldiers: I wait for labor for leisure, and my 100,000 troops could defeat 400,000 troops." After hearing this, the two were overjoyed and said to them. Kong Ming followed the army out of Hanzhong and ordered them to teach various passes to prepare dry firewood, grass, and fine grains, all of which were enough for one month to prevent autumn rain. The army was graceful for one month, and they first provided food and clothing, and waited for the expedition. However, Cao Zhen and Sima Yi led the army together and went straight to Chencang City, but there was no house. When the natives asked about it, they all said that Kong Ming set fire to the Chencang Road. Cao Zhen wanted to advance from Chencang Road. Yi said, "Don't go forward lightly. I looked at the astronomy at night and saw that Bi Xing was divided into Taiyin. There must be heavy rain in this month; if you go deep into the heavy land, you can always win. If there is any miscellaneous

In Yu, people and horses suffer, and it is difficult to retreat. It is better to build a nest in the city to prevent rain. "Truely, the rain fell heavily before half a month, and the rain continued to drift. Outside Chencang City, the plain water was three feet deep, the army was wet, and people could not sleep, and they were restless day and night. The heavy rain fell for 30 days, and the horses had no grass, and countless soldiers were dead, and the soldiers complained endlessly. When they came to Luoyang, the Wei lord set up an altar, but they could not find it. The Huangmen Minister Wang Su wrote a memorial saying: "There was ambition in the front; if the food was fed thousands of miles, the soldiers were hungry; if the woods and suspense were fed, the army would not stay full. This is called a marching journey on a flat road. Moreover, when going deep and dangerous, digging a road and moving forward, the work would be a hundred. Now, it is added with rainy rain, the mountains were steep and slippery, and the crowds were forced to spread, and the food was far away and difficult to continue: a taboo in implementing the army.

Hearing that Cao Zhen had been working for more than a month, he had been half a valley, and his military achievements were great, all the soldiers said: This was the only way to wait for labor, which was the fear of the military. He said that King Wu defeated Zhou, and returned after leaving the pass; discussing recent events, Wu, Wen conquered power, and was unable to help the river: Isn’t it that he followed the heavens and knew the time and was proficient in power? I hope that Your Majesty would rest the soldiers because of the hardships of water and rain. If there was a provocation in the future, he would take advantage of the time. The so-called pleasure in trouble and the people forgot their deaths." The Wei Lord was hesitating, and Yang Fu and Hua Xin also submitted a memorial to advise. The Wei Lord immediately issued an edict, sending envoys to Cao Zhen and Sima Yi to return to the court.

However, Cao Zhen and Sima Yi discussed and said, "I have been in a row for thirty days. The army has no desire to fight and each has its own intention to return home. How can I prohibit it?"

Yi said, "It's better to go back." Zhen said, "If Kong Ming chases him, how can he retreat?" Yi said, "I will first hide the two armies and then cut off the back." During the main discussion, I suddenly called the army. The two then ordered the front team of the army to be the back team, and the back team was the front team, and slowly retreated. However, Kong Ming calculated that the autumn rain was about to end in one month and the sky was not yet clear. He recommended that the army stationed in Chenggu, and he also ordered the army to station in Chipo. Kong Ming raised his tent and called the generals and said, "I believe that the Wei soldiers must leave, and the Wei lord must issue an edict to come and take Cao Zhen. Sima Yi's army back. If I chase him, I must be prepared. It's better to let him go and make a good plan." Suddenly, Wang Ping sent a report to him and said, "The Wei soldiers have returned. Kong Ming gave the visitor and told Wang Ping, "Don't pursue them. I have a plan to defeat the Wei soldiers."
Chapter completed!
