Zhuge Liang then took a four-wheeled car to look around the city in person, and went back to the village to raise the tent and sit. The generals stood around to listen to the order, and Zhuge Liang said: "This county is deep and steep, and it is not easy to attack. I am not in this city, you are only attacking for a long time, if the Wei soldiers go their separate ways to take Hanzhong, our army is in danger. ”

Before the words were finished, someone suddenly reported that the counties under the rule of Nan'an and Tianshui County heard that Zhuge Liang's army had arrived, and they all surrendered.

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, now that the Wei army had fled, Nan'an was already a lonely city, so he ordered the generals to prepare to attack the city, and they were bound to capture Xiahou Nan alive.

"Report ~ There is a person outside the tent, claiming to be Tianshui Jiang Wei, who has come to beg the prime minister!" Joyful and happy, Zhuge Liang laughed and went out of the account to greet him.

Jiang Wei took the initiative to surrender is not a fraudulent surrender, it turned out that when Zhuge Liang's army left Qishan, Jiang Wei followed Cao Liangxu, the chief secretary Yin Xian, and the chief secretary Liang Qian from Tianshui Taishou Ma Zun to inspect in various places, Ma Zun learned that the Xinhan army was coming, and all counties responded to the enemy, Ma Zun was anxious to lead the army to escape, but Jiang Wei and his subordinates repeatedly delayed on the grounds of escorting their families, so Ma Zun suspected that Jiang Wei and others had different intentions.

"Jiang Wei's father and Ma Chao are old acquaintances, and now Zhuge Liang's army is coming, and he will want to respond to it. If we don't leave as soon as possible, we will be captured by Zhuge Liang. After Ma Zun and his cronies finished speaking, they left Jiang Wei and the others behind, and fled with Guo Huai to Shangqi overnight.

Jiang Wei and others couldn't catch up, and the city gate was closed when they returned to the city, so Jiang Wei led his troops to Ji County, and Ji County did not let Jiang Wei enter the city, Jiang Wei had no choice but to surrender Zhuge Liang.

"Jiang Wei, I am now using you as reinforcements to deceive the gate of Nan'an, are you willing?" Zhuge Liang looked at the young general and asked.

"The last will go." Jiang Wei took the order, and when he went out, he met Ma Chao entering the tent, Ma Chao glanced at him and hesitated.

Ma Chao looked at Jiang Wei's back and asked Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, who is this person?" ”

"This person's surname is Jiang Mingwei, the word Boyo, the son of Tianshui Gong Cao Jiang Yin." Zhuge Liang explained.

Ma Chao was surprised: "What? He is the son of Jiang Yin. ”

Soon, good news came from outside the tent, Jiang Weiyun opened the city gate and escorted Xiahou Mao to see Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and rewarded Jiang Wei, but Jiang Wei didn't want to reward him, but said: "The last general heard that Ma Chao is also under the prime minister's account, I don't know if I can come out and see it?" ”

"It's Ma Chao!" Ma Chao stood up from the class when he heard this.

"Ma Chao! Return my father's life! Jiang Wei suddenly pulled out his saber and stabbed at Ma Chao.

It's just that Ma Chao's swordsmanship is superb, and he pulled out the sword on his waist in the blink of an eye and blocked it. Jiang Wei put away his sword and stabbed again, Ma Chao did not panic, and his swordsmanship was wide open and he fought with Jiang Wei.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang urgently ordered Pang De and Guan Ping to hold the two, and Zhuge Liang asked Jiang Weidao: "Why is Boyo like this?" ”

Jiang Wei explained the reason, it turned out that Ma Chao borrowed troops from Zhang Lu to join Han Sui to lead the Qiang and Rong tribes to attack Qishan in Liangzhou, and defeated Jiang Xu, the defender of Qishan.

"I see!" After hearing this, Zhuge Liang sympathized and admired Jiang Wei.

"Jiang Wei, I am friends with your father, and I have been persuaded to surrender many times when attacking Ji County, but Zhong Yi would rather die than surrender......" Ma Chao recalled, and he also felt very guilty about Jiang Wei.

Zhuge Liang walked up to Jiang Wei and said: "Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty, he is really a national thief!" Ma Meng's army to attack Cao is a great righteousness, and it is a small righteousness to protect the territory and the people. Which is more important, does Boyo not know? ”

Jiang Wei still hated Ma Chao, Zhuge Liang persuaded him with the matter of Gan Ning and Ling Tong, and Guan Xing also sought revenge from Zhao Yun and Liu Du before, and finally let go of his hatred and persuaded Jiang Wei to protect Xinhan.

Jiang Wei finally shook hands with Ma Chao and made peace with the overall situation. Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and led the army to continue to march.

Just when Zhuge Liang's army was marching forward, the battle situation on Han Xuan and Liu Du's side was not optimistic.

Han Xuan was also anxious when he learned that Cao Rui personally led a large army to fight with him. Hefei New City could not be attacked for a long time, and Liu Du's side did not get a bargain in the hands of Zhang He and Xu Huang, while Liaodong Tian Yu was fighting with Xianbei Ke and had no time to attack the rear of Wei.

Cao Rui's army is 200,000, and although Han Xuan claims to be 100,000, he is actually only 80,000. The scout reported urgently, saying that Cao Rui had a lot of former soldiers and horses. Han Xuan had no choice but to order the generals to concentrate their firearms and storm the west gate of the new city.

The Ximen Wei army suffered heavy casualties, and the new city was about to be unable to hold on, but he did not dare to disobey Cao Rui's military order to send reinforcements to rescue. Just when he was at a loss, the guards at the door suddenly reported: Yu Ban asked to see.

"Yu Ban, why are you here?" Full pet asked.

"Dawei is in trouble, how can Yu Ban stay out of it!" Yu Ban's vicissitudes of life looked particularly heavy at this time.

"Yu Ban? I heard that he was defeated by Guan Yu and surrendered Guan Yu, and after Guan Yu was defeated, Yu Ban was sent back to China by Han Xuan. ”

"The first emperor didn't trust him, how could His Majesty reuse him!"

"It's a pity that I made great achievements in the first half of my life before the ban, and I never thought that the evening would not be guaranteed, you and I should take it as a warning."

"What is the name of the general, if I were him, I would rather die in battle than return to China and be humiliated."

“……”

Many newly promoted generals under Man's favored subordinates saw Yu Ban and talked about him for a while.

"This is a military camp, not a street teahouse, where you gossip and talk about things that have nothing to do with military aircraft, how should you deal with them according to military law?" Yu Ban held back the shame and anger in his heart and shouted at them.

These people immediately shut their mouths, but they still looked down on Yu Ban in their hearts.

Yu Banchao bowed his hand and said: "I have recruited dozens of strong men, broken pine branches for torches, poured sesame oil, and ambushed them in the forest of ten miles west of the city. This is the upwind position, when Han Xuan withdraws his troops, I will lead people to set fire to the wind, and I will definitely be able to burn the enemy's siege equipment! After the deed was completed, the beggar general sent troops to respond! ”

Man Chong was first overjoyed when he heard this, and then said with a calm face: "Your Majesty has an order, so that I can't stick to Lu'an lightly." ”

Man Zhong refused to send troops to respond, but Yu Ban resolutely led the dozens of strong men to ambush. Yu Ban had no choice but to say goodbye to Manzhong, and before leaving, he instructed: "Please ask the general to play Your Majesty on my behalf: the end will be banned, and I am willing to go to the soup for the Cao family for generations!" ”

Man Zhong closed his eyes and turned around, and couldn't help clenching his fists, and the generals who had ridiculed Yu Ban before also lowered their heads in shame at this time.

At this moment, Sun Bu, a general under Han Xuan, suddenly sent someone to ask for surrender, saying: "Because of the long distance, I can't come to greet you in person, so I specially ask to send troops to greet you." ”

Wang Ling, the assassin of Yangzhou, passed Sun Buxin to Manchu Pet, and asked Manchu Pet to send soldiers and horses to greet him. Man Chong thought that there must be deception in this, and did not send troops and horses, so he wrote a letter to Sun Bu on behalf of Wang Ling, saying: "Your Majesty personally led a large army to conquer the south, and you are now lost and know that you are returning, and you want to get rid of the disaster and return to our army, abandon tyranny, and return to the right path, which is worthy of praise." Now you hope that our army and others will send troops to meet you, but after thinking about it, if you have few soldiers, you will not be able to protect you, and if you have many soldiers, it will be easy to leak secrets. For the time being, we will devise a secret plan to fulfill your ambitions, and then discuss the method for the time being. ”

At this time, Man Chong was recruited by Cao Rui to Shouchun to participate in the military, and before leaving, he ordered the governor of the palace: "If Wang Ling wants to go to meet him, don't send troops to him." ”

And because Wang Ling couldn't get soldiers and horses from Manzhong, he sent a general and led 700 infantry and cavalry to meet Sun Bu. Unexpectedly, Sun Bu suddenly attacked at night, and the governor fled, killing and wounding most of the 700 people.

Han Xuan originally wanted Sun Bu to surrender by deception, lure the defenders of Lu'an to meet him, and take the opportunity to capture Lu'an. Unexpectedly, Man Pet did not send a large army, only a small force came to greet him.

Lu'an couldn't take it, Hefei New Town resisted so stubbornly, Cao Rui's army had arrived in Shouchun again, and Han Xuan wanted to retreat. It's just that he didn't expect that under the huge power of firearms, an unknown general in Xincheng would be able to stop him for so long, and he didn't expect Yu Ban to lead dozens of people to dare to ambush his tens of thousands of troops.
