Ma Zun adopted Jiang Wei's plan, assigned soldiers to ambush Jiang Wei, and then waited outside the city with Liang Qian, leaving only Xu Liang and Yinshang guarding the city.
It turned out that Zhuge Liang had sent Zhao Yun to lead an army to ambush in the mountains, and only waited for Tianshui's army to leave the city before attacking. Zhao Yun made a detailed report that day, saying that Ma Zun, the magistrate of Tianshui, rose up and went out of the city, leaving only a group of civil servants guarding the city. Hearing this, Zhao Yun was overjoyed, and sent someone to Zhang Yi and Gao Xiang to intercept Ma Zun on the road. Zhuge Liang also ambushed the two soldiers in advance.
Zhao Yun led 5,000 troops to Tianshui County and shouted, "I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan! You were cheated by our prime minister, and you gave it to the city early to avoid being slaughtered! " Xu Liang in the city smiled and said, "You were cheated by jiang bo, don't you know?" Zhaoyun was about to attack the city when suddenly there was a big killing and fire. A young general, a pioneer with a gun, proudly said, "Do you know Tianshui Jiang Boyue?" Zhao Tingyun pointed a gun at Jiang Wei. In less than a few rounds, Jiang Wei's spirit doubled. Zhao Yun was shocked and thought, "I didn't think there were such figures in Tianshui!" In the middle of the war, the two armies came, and Ma Zun and Liang Qian led their troops back. Zhaoyun neglected the other side from beginning to end, so he made way and led the defeated troops to retreat, followed by Jiang Wei. Thanks to yi cheung and Gao Xiang two soldiers killed to meet back.
Zhaoyun went back to see Zhuge Liang and said that he had been tricked by the enemy. Zhuge Liang asked in surprise, "Who is this person who can see through my mystery?" Nan 'an newspaper: "This man's surname is Jiang, whose name is Bo Yue, and he is from Jixian County, Tianshui. He is filial to his mother, both civil and military, intelligent and brave, and is a talented person in the world. " Zhao Yun also praised Jiang Wei's marksmanship. Zhuge Liang said, "I want to capture Tianshui now, but I don't want to see this man." So he got up and left.
Jiang Wei went back to see Ma Zun and said, "When Zhao Yun is defeated, Zhuge Liang will come in person. He knows that our army will be in the city, and now he can divide our army into four roads: I will lead an army to ambush in the east of the city, and if their army comes, I will stop them in front. Taishou, Xu Liang and Yinshang each led an army to ambush outside the city, and Xu Liang organized the people to guard the city. " The assignment has been completed.
It is said that Zhuge Liang, worried about Jiang Wei, personally served as the front and headed for Chaotian Shuicheng. When he reached the edge of an important city, Zhuge Liang issued an order saying, "All those who attack the city should cheer up the three armed forces and make a noise on the first day. After a long delay, the spirit will be gone, and it will be difficult to break the city. "
Zhuge Liang ordered the army to arrive at the gate of the city. Seeing the neat flags on the city, he dared not attack easily.
In the middle of the night, suddenly, the air was ablaze with flames and shouts, and many soldiers came from nowhere. The city also clamored accordingly, and the Shu army fled in panic. Zhuge Liang quickly mounted his horse and was protected by Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, deus ex. Looking back, there is a charger in the east, surrounded by flames like snakes. Zhuge Liang ordered Guan Xing to visit. When he came back, he reported, "This is Jiang Wei's soldier." Zhuge Liang praised: "Although there are not many soldiers, people are under control. This man is really a general! "
Zhuge Liang meditated for a long time after withdrawing troops and returning to the village. He called the stable man and asked, "Where is Jiang Wei's mother now?" A: "Jiang Wei's mother lives in Jixian County." Zhuge Liang summoned Wei Yan and said, "You led an army horse to bluff and swindle Jixian County. If Jiang Wei arrives, let him enter the city. " Wei Yan was ordered to go. Zhuge Liang asked the man again, "Where is the most important place here?" The groom replied, "Tianshui's money and grain are on the ground." If Shangtuo is breached, Tianshui's food supply route will be cut off. "Zhuge Liang exultation, sent zhaoyun led the army against shangguan. Zhuge Liang's army camped 30 miles from the city.
Earlier, someone reported to Tianshui City that the Shu army soldiers were divided into three roads: one was stationed in Tianshui County, the other was occupied by Shangguan, and the other was occupied by Jixian. When Jiang Wei heard this, he appealed to Ma Zun and said, "My mother is now in Jixian City, and I am worried that the target of their siege is my mother. I asked an army soldier to rescue Ji Cheng. " Ma Zun's decree ordered Jiang Wei to lead 3,000 troops and Liang Qian to lead 3,000 troops to guard the law.
It is said that after Jiang Wei led the troops to Jixian County, a samurai army horse was spread out in front, led by Wei Yan. After several rounds of confrontation between the two generals, Wei Yan chicaned out. After entering the city, Jiang Wei closed the city gate, led the troops to guard and went home to visit his mother. Zhaoyun also allowed Liang Qian to enter Gao Shan. Zhuge Liang ordered people to go to Nan 'an County to bring Xia Houmao to the account.
Zhuge Liang asked Xia Houmao, "Are you afraid of death?" Xia Houmao hurriedly fell to the ground, crying for his life. Zhuge Liang said: "Today, Shui Jiangwei is guarding the city of Ji, and sent a letter saying: I am willing to surrender as long as I agree. I'll spare your life now. Will you woo Jiang Wei? " Xia Houmao said: "I am willing to greet the Prime Minister." Zhuge Liang ordered Xia Houmao to be given clothes and pommel horse, but he didn't send anyone to follow him and let him leave freely.
Xia Houmao fled the village like a trapped bird, trying to find the way forward, but he didn't know the way. When I was marching, I met several people running away. When Xia Houmao asked for directions, these people said, "We are all from Jixian County. Now that Jiang Wei has given the city to Zhuge Liang, Shu has set fire to Wei Yan for money, so we have to abandon our homes and flee to Shangguan. " Xia Houmao asked again, "Who is guarding Tianshui City now?" These people said, "Ma Zun is the magistrate of Tianshui City."
Upon hearing this, Xia Houmao galloped off to Tianshui. I saw many ordinary people come with their children and daughters, and they all said the same thing.
Xia Houmao went to the gate of Tianshui to make a phone call. Someone in the city recognized Xia Houmao and quickly opened the door to meet him. Ma Zun was surprised and asked. Xia Houmao elaborated on Jiang Wei and repeated what people said. Ma Zun sighed: "I didn't expect Jiang Wei to turn against me!" Xu Liang said: "He just wanted to save the governor, so he pretended to surrender when he said this." Xia Houmao said: "Now that Jiang Wei has surrendered, what is the false surrender? While hesitating, it was getting late, and the Shu soldiers came to attack the city again.
In the firelight, Jiang Wei stopped his horse at the city gate and shouted, "Please answer me!" When Ma Zun led his troops into the city, he saw Jiang Wei swaggering and shouted, "I am willing to surrender the governor to save the world. Why did the Governor take this order? " Xia Houmao said, "Why did you go to Shu because of your kindness? What preface do we have? " Jiang Wei responded: "You wrote a letter asking me to go to Shu. Why do you say that? You tried to run away, but you betrayed me? How can I return to Wei when I go to Shu and become a general? " Then he led the troops to attack the city and didn't return until dawn. It turned out that Zhuge Liang planned to send someone to pretend that Jiang Wei was attacking the city at night. In fact, it was a soldier with similar appearance who pretended to be Jiang Wei, because there was no truth in the distant firelight.
Zhuge Liang led the troops to attack Zheng Ji, where food was scarce and rations were insufficient. In the city, Jiang Wei saw the carts and carts of the Shu army carrying grain and grass, and entered Wei Yanzhai, so he led three thousand soldiers out of the city to grab grain. The Shu army threw away the grain wagons and tried to escape. Jiang Wei was about to return to the city when a tiger army stopped him, and the Shu army headed by Zhang Yi. The two generals confronted each other, and in a few rounds, Wang Ping led an army horse and killed it again. Being attacked on both sides, Jiang Weili was poor at resisting the enemy. On his way back to the city, he saw the city full of banners of the Shu army. It turned out that the city had already been breached by Wei Yan.
Jiang Wei killed Tianshui City, with only a dozen cavalry under his command, and met Zhang Bao later. Jiang Wei was the only one who came to Tianshui City and called at the gate. When the soldiers in the city saw that it was Jiang Wei, they hurriedly reported it to Ma Zun. Ma Zun said, "This must be Jiang Wei's door to earn me." Order the whole city to volley bows and arrows. Jiang Wei looked back and saw that the Shu soldiers were near, so he had to run to Gaoshan City. Liang Qian saw that it was Jiang Wei and scolded, "Thieves and bandits, how dare you come and take my city! I already know that you have fallen to Shu! " Ordered a row of arrows to be fired. Jiang Wei couldn't express himself, so he had to look up to the sky and sigh, tears filled his eyes, and set off for Chang 'an.
Within a few miles of Jiang Wei's trip, he saw a big tree and a dense forest. With a loud cry, thousands of soldiers rushed out and led Guan Xing, the first Shu general, to stop the way. Jiang Wei was too tired to resist, so he went around his horse. Suddenly, a four-wheeled vehicle turned over from the hillside. The man is wearing a black silk scarf, a crane and a feather fan. It is Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang summoned Jiang Wei and said, "Why doesn't Bo Yue surrender at this time?" Jiang Wei thought for a long time. Zhuge Liang was in the front and Xing was in the back. There was no way out, so he had to dismount and surrender. Zhuge Liang quickly got off to meet him. He took Jiang Wei's hand and said, "I have been looking for sages all over the world since I was a child. I want to teach me what I have learned all my life, but I hate not finding them." Now I want to meet job, and my big wish in life is enough. " Jiang Wei is very happy to thank him.
Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei went back to the village together to discuss the plan of capturing Tianshui and reaching the top. Jiang Wei said, "Yin Shang and Xu Liang in Tianshui City are my friends. I'm going to write two secret letters and shoot them into the city so that people in the city can get them. " Zhuge Liang adopted Jiang's plan. Jiang Wei wrote two secret letters, tied them to arrows, and rode to the gate and shot into the city. A primary school picked them up and gave them to Ma Zun. Ma Zun consulted with him and said, "Xu Liang, Yin Shang and Jiang Wei are connected by the same vein. If they want to be insiders, the governor should execute them early. " Xia Houmao said, "Let's kill these two people first." After hearing the news, Yin Shang said, "It is better to give this city to Shu, so that we can live."
That night, Xia Houmao sent someone to invite Xu Liang and Yin Shang to discuss this matter for many times. Anticipating their intentions, the two men mounted their horses, each holding a weapon, and led their own troops to open the city gate to let the Shu army enter. Xia Houmao and Ma Zun were so frightened that they led only a few hundred people out of the West Gate and went out of the city to vote for Hu Qiang.
Xu Liang and Yin merchants welcomed Zhuge Liang into the city. When An Min finished speaking, Zhuge Liang asked about the plan to capture Shang Yang. Xu Liang said: "This pawn city is guarded by my brother Liang Qian, and I am willing to ask him to surrender." Zhuge Liang was overjoyed. On the same day, Xu Liang went to Shangguan and called Liang Qian out of the city to surrender. Zhuge Liang paid more attention to rewards and appointed Xu Liang as the prefect of Tianshui, Yin Shang as the magistrate of Ji Cheng and Liang Qian as the magistrate of Shangguan.
Zhuge Liang's distribution has been completed and the whole army has set out. The generals said, "Why didn't the Prime Minister go and get Xia Houmao?" Zhuge Liang said, "I set Xia Houmao free, just like setting a chicken free. Now I got a promise, I got a golden phoenix! " Since Zhuge Liang captured the three cities, his reputation has been greatly shocked, and counties far and near have surrendered. Zhuge Liang reorganized the army, and Hanzhong's soldiers left Qishan in front and went to the west of Weishui.
Report to Luoyang, Cao Rui hurried to the temple to set up a court. The minister said, "Xia Houdun has lost three counties and fled to Qiang. Now the Shu army has reached Qishan, and the former army is west of Weihe River. Please send troops to break the enemy as soon as possible. " Cao Rui was frightened, so he asked the ministers, "Who can help me repel the Shu army?" Stuart Wang Lang came out to report: "I think the late Emperor always used General Cao Zhen to meet the enemy, and he was sure to meet the enemy wherever he went. Now why doesn't your majesty worship Cao Zhen as the viceroy to repel the Shu army? "
Cao Rui said to Cao Zhen, "My late emperor entrusted you with being an orphan. Now that the Shu army has invaded the Central Plains, how can you bear to sit idly by? " Zhen Zou said, "I am an ignorant minister, and I don't call myself." Wang Lang said, "The general is a minister of the country, so you can't be humble. Although I am stupid, I am willing to go with the general. " Cao Zhen also reported: "I owe you, how dare I refuse?" But I want to hire someone as a lieutenant. "Cao Rui said," You can introduce yourself at will. "Cao Zhen recommended Taiyuan Yangqu people, surnamed Guo Minghuai, word, official seal, led Yongzhou secretariat.
Cao Rui agreed, worshipped Cao Zhen as the viceroy, gave us a lot of money, appointed Guo Huai as the deputy viceroy, and Wang Lang as the strategist. At this time, Wang Lang was seventy-five, and set up an army of two hundred thousand for Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen appointed Cao Zun, his eldest brother, as the pioneer and Zhu Zan, the bandit, as the deputy pioneer. This year 1 1 month, Cao Rui came back after seeing Simon off himself.
Cao Zhen came to Chang 'an with a great army, crossed the west of Weihe River and camped. Cao Zhen, Wang Lang and Guo Huai discussed the idea of withdrawing troops. Wang Lang said, "Tomorrow, the commander-in-chief can make the three armed forces orderly and display flags. I'll go out by myself, old lady. I only need one word to make Zhuge Liang surrender, and the Shu army will retreat without fighting. " Cao Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and he gave an order that night: Tomorrow at four o'clock, make dinner, and tomorrow morning, make sure that the ranks are neat, the soldiers and horses are dignified, and the flag is ringing, and send people to the afternoon first.
The next day, the two armies met and lined up at the forefront of Qishan. When the Shu army saw that Wei Jun was magnificent, it was quite different. The drums of the three armies have been beaten, and Stuart Wang Lang rode out. The first is commander-in-chief Cao Zhen, and the second is deputy commander-in-chief Guo Huai. The two pioneers held down the corner of the array. Before leaving the army, the spy horse shouted, "My military adviser, please answer the general!" "I saw the door flag of the Shu army open, and Guan Xing and Zhang Bao came out from the left and right respectively, followed by armies of warriors on both sides. In the shadow of the door flag, a four-wheeled vehicle was centered, Zhuge Liang sat in the car, black silk scarves and feather fans, and plain clothes soap tapestry floated out.
Zhuge Liang looked up and saw three banners in front of Wei array, all of which were big names. The old man with a white beard in the middle is the strategist, Stuart Wanglang. Zhuge Liang thought, "Wang Lang must have come to talk, so I will improvise." So he ordered the left and right cars to leave, and ordered the guards' primary school to send a message: "Prime Minister Han wants to talk to Stuart."
Wang Lang rode out, Zhuge Liang surrendered in the car, and Wang Lang immediately leaned in to reply. Wang Lang said, "I have heard a lot about your husband. I am very lucky today. Since Mr. Wang knows destiny and current affairs, why should he raise this nameless soldier? " Zhuge Liang said, "I was asked to be a thief by a trust. How can I say that I am nameless? " Wang Lang said: "If the number of days changes, the utensils will be more stacked, and it will eventually be a sage. This is nature and common sense. Since Huan and Ling, the chaos of the yellow turban insurrectionary is the chaos of the world. During Chuping and Jian 'an years, Dong Zhuo rebelled, and Li Jue and Guo Si followed suit. Shouchun, posthumous title, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao dominated the wild land, Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou, Lu Bu annexed Xu County, and the thief rose from the world and the eagle was raped. The country is in danger and life is stretched. I, Emperor Mao Wu, swept away the eight famines swept away by Liuhe, and all my surnames fell in love with me, admiring virtue in all directions. This is not only captured by power, but actually by fate. The god of Wendi, the ancestor of our ancestors, inherited the great unity and should be integrated with heaven and man and with God. Isn't this providence? Mr Zhuge is famous for his outstanding talents and achievements. He wants to compare himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi. Why did he act against nature and human feelings? Haven't you heard the ancients say that' those who go against the sky prosper and those who go against the sky die'? Now I am a great man with a million armor and a thousand good soldier. How can the small fluorescence like rotten grass in West Sichuan be compared with the heavenly heart and bright moon? If Mr. Wang defected, he would surrender politely without losing his marquis status. Guoan folk music is not beautiful! "
Zhuge Liang laughed in the car and said, "I thought the old Yuan ministers of the Han Dynasty would look up. How could they say such despicable things! I have something to say, and I would like the generals on both sides to listen to it: Huan and Ling lived in the same spiritual world, the Han Dynasty unified the mausoleum, the eunuchs were in disaster, the country was chaotic and fierce, and all directions were noisy. After the yellow turban insurrectionary army uprising, Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and other thieves followed suit and robbed Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty with cruel methods. At that time, the rotten wood in the temple was the official, the cattle ate the food between the temples, the ruthless people were in power, and the slaves were in power. In the end, it led to the ruin of the country. I know you best at ordinary times: you have lived on the coast of the East China Sea for generations, and you have just promoted Xiaolian to an official position. I thought Kuang Jun assisted the country and promoted Liu, but I didn't expect to help the rebels and plot to usurp the throne! Sin is so terrible that heaven and earth can't tolerate it! Everyone in the world wants to eat your meat raw! Now fortunately, God's will is endless, and Emperor Zhaolie inherited orthodoxy in surprisingly. I'm on orders from my successor, and I'm looking for thieves. Since you are an apple polisher, you should be modest, work hard to get enough food and clothing, and dare to say the number of days before joining the army! White-headed thief! You are going to die in the grave. How can you meet the 24th emperor of the Han Dynasty? Old thief, come back quickly! Let Cao Zhen rebel, and I will fight it out! "
Wang Lang was so angry that he let out a cry and was killed by a horse. Later generations have poems praising Zhuge Liang's way:
Zhuge Liang pointed a fan at Cao Zhen and said, "I won't force you today. When you go back, rectify the army and we will fight again tomorrow. " Then go back to the car, and both armies will come back.
Cao Zhen put Wang Lang's body in a coffin and sent it back to Chang 'an. Guo Huai, the deputy commander-in-chief, said, "Zhuge Liang knows that our army is going to rob the village tonight. The soldiers can be divided into four roads: the second road soldiers robbed Shu Village by mountain road, and the second road soldiers ambushed outside the village, attacking from left to right. " Cao Zhen was overjoyed and said, "This plan is exactly what I thought." Cao Zun and Zhu Zan were called as pioneers, and they paid separately, saying, "You two each led 10,000 troops to attack the rear of Qishan. As soon as you see the Shu army attacking our village, you will immediately invade and rob the Shu village. If the Shu army does not move, withdraw and return as soon as possible. Don't enter the army easily. " Two people led the troops after counting. Cao Zhen said to Guo Huai, "We each led an army to ambush outside the camp, and firewood was piled in the camp, leaving only a few people. If the Shu army comes, set fire to fight together as a signal. " People are ready to start according to their orders.
After Zhuge Liang returned to the account, he first summoned Zhao Yun and Wei Yan to listen to the order. Zhuge Liang said, "You two each lead your own troops to rob Zhai Wei." Wei Yan suggested, "Cao Zhen knows the art of war well, and we can expect that we will use them to hold a funeral and rob the village. Will he not be vigilant? " Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I just want Cao Zhen to know that I am robbing the village. They must be the troops lurking behind Qishan, so that when our army passes by, they can attack my camp in turn. I order you two to lead troops forward, cross the back road at the foot of the mountain, stop the team at a distance, and let Wei Bing rob my camp. When you see that fire is a signal, you divide your troops into two ways: General Wen Chang is responsible for refusing to hold the mountain pass, and General Zi Long leads the troops back. After encountering Wei Wei, let them return at will. If you attack from behind, they will certainly cover themselves. This will be a great victory. "
The two generals left with their troops. Zhuge Liang called Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, saying, "Each of them will take an army horse and lie in ambush on Qishan Road. Let Wei Jun go and kill Zhai Wei again. " The two men were led by the nose by the plan. Ma Dai, Wang Ping, zhang yi and Zhang Ben were ordered to ambush outside the village and meet Wei Jun on all sides. Zhuge Liang erected the stockade in vain, piled firewood in the middle, and personally led the generals to retreat behind the stockade to observe the movement.
Cao Zun and Zhu Zan, pioneers of Wei, left Dazhai to lead the way after dusk, and around the second watch, they saw an army moving in front of the mountain. Cao Zun said, "Governor Guo is really calculating!" So he urged the soldiers to step forward, and when they arrived at Shuzhai, it was already midnight. Cao Zun took the lead in entering the village, but it was an empty village. Cao Zun knew the recruit and withdrew quickly. At this time, a fire broke out in the village, and Zhu Zan's soldiers arrived later, covering each other and killing each other, which caused great confusion. Cao Zun and Zhu Zan didn't know they were trampling on each other until they crossed the horse. Suddenly, the soldiers gathered in a hurry, and shouts came from all directions. Wang Ping, Ma Dai, Zhang Ben and Zhang Yi were killed. Cao Zun and Zhu Zan led more than 100 close cavalry to retreat to the main road.
Suddenly, the drums and horns sounded in front, and a tiger general and an army horse blocked the way. Zhao Yun, the commander-in-chief, shouted loudly, "Where are the thieves going?" Die early! Cao Zun and Zhu Zan returned. "。 Suddenly, the front shouts again, Wei Yan led a tiger army to kill. Cao Zun and Zhu Zan were defeated. The sergeant guarding the village thought that the Shu army had come to rob the village and hurriedly set fire to it. Cao Zhen on the left and Guo Huai on the right, killing each other. The Shu army was killed in the rear in three ways: Wei Yan was in the middle, Guan Xing was on the left and Zhang Bao was on the right, and they were killed as a bee for a while.
Wei Jun lost more than ten miles and suffered heavy casualties. Zhuge Liang won a great victory and then quit. Cao Zhen and Guo Huai gathered up the defeated troops and returned to the village. They discussed it and said, "Now we are poor and the Shu army is strong. How should we retreat from the enemy? " Guo Huai said, "Winning or losing is a common occurrence among military strategists, so there is nothing to worry about. I have a plan, so that the Shu army can't take care of each other from beginning to end and will retreat. "
