Sima Shi entered the account and reported to Sima Yi and said: "The Xia army has more grain than our army, and now the Xia soldiers and our people are mixed with each other and the fields are in Weibin, thinking that it will be a long-term plan." Chang'an is in danger, Xia Jun can afford to drag it, we can't afford it! Why didn't my father make an appointment with Han Xuan to fight a battle to decide between the male and the female? ”

Sima Yi said: "Bingzhou and Liangzhou have sent reinforcements to save Chang'an, and our army only needs to hold on here and block Han Xuan." ”

During the discussion, it was suddenly reported that Pang De had led an army to come to scold the war. Pang De insulted Sima Yi and scolded him very badly, and the generals were angry and ready to fight.

Sima Yi said with a smile: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, but stick to it." ”

The generals did not follow the order, and Pound insulted for a long time before returning. Han Xuan saw that Sima Yi was unwilling to fight, so he secretly ordered Ma Dai to build a wooden fence, dig deep trenches in the camp, accumulate more dry firewood, sulfur, saltpeter, etc., and pour all the dragon oil (oil) in the Western Regions in the army. On the surrounding mountains, rags and wooden planks are mostly used to build rainproof nests, and mines are buried inside and outside.

When the preparation stopped, Han Xuan instructed Ma Dai in his ear: "You can cut off the back road of the gourd valley and ambush the soldiers in the valley." If Sima Yi chased him and let him enter the valley, he set the mines and dry firewood on fire. ”

Han Xuan ordered people to prepare signal flares again, and Ma Dai led the strategy to lead the troops away.

Han Xuan called Pang De over and ordered: "You can lead 500 soldiers to Weizhai to fight, and you must lure Sima Yi to fight." You can't win, you can only lose. Sima Yi will chase after him, but you will hope that my signal flare will rise into the air and go in the direction of the signal. As long as Sima Yi is lured into the gourd valley, I have my own way to capture him. ”

Pound was ordered to lead his troops away. Han Xuan called Li Yanlai and instructed: "You lead people to transport grain between the mountain roads, if the Wei soldiers come to rob it, just abandon the grain cart and leave, it is your work." ”

Li Yan took the order and left, and Han Xuan transferred the soldiers and horses of Qishan separately, only pushed Tuntian, and instructed: "If the rest of the people bring troops to fight, they are only allowed to be defeated." If Sima Yi came in person, Fang Heli would only attack Weinan and cut off his way back. ”

After Han Xuan made the arrangement, he personally led an army to camp near the upper valley.

Hu Zun, the vanguard of the Wei army, reported to Sima Yi and said: "This summer, the soldiers scattered and camped, and they were all over the field, thinking that it would be a long-term plan. Why not get rid of it at this time? ”

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "This must be the enemy's plan. ”

Hu Zun said: "If the governor is so suspicious, when will the enemy be destroyed?" The last general should fight to the death to repay the country's kindness. ”

Sima Yi sighed: "In this case, you will lead 5,000 soldiers to find out." ”

Hu Zun led the troops to go, and Sima Yi sat and waited for a response.

Hu Zun led the army to the middle of the line, suddenly saw the Xia soldiers carrying grain and grass, Hu Zun led the troops to kill the generals together, the Xia soldiers were defeated and ran away, all the grain was snatched by the Wei soldiers, and transported to Sima Yi's camp. The next day, Hu Zun took more than 100 horses and escorted them to Dazhai.

Sima Yi untied the captured Xia soldiers and interrogated them about the truth. Xia Bing replied: "Han Xuan's capital is not able to hold out, and he will do his best to scatter the fields, thinking that it will be a long-term plan." I didn't want to be captured. ”

Han Xuan ordered Li Yan to transport grain to walk back and forth in the valley above, and Hu Zun and others would intercept and kill from time to time, and between half a month, they won several battles in a row. Seeing the repeated defeats of the Xia soldiers, Sima Yi's doubts relaxed slightly.

One day, Hu Zun captured dozens of Xia soldiers. Sima Yi asked, "Where is Han Xuanjin now?" ”

Everyone only said: "Marshal Han is not in Qishan, but is camped ten miles west of the valley above." Today, the daily grain is transported to the upper valley. ”

When Sima Yi heard this, he said to the generals: "Today, Han Xuan is not in Qishan, but is camped in the upper valley. You are equal to tomorrow, and you can capture Qishan Dazhai together. I have brought in my own troops to meet them. ”

The generals were ordered to prepare for battle. Sima Shi asked, "Why did my father want to attack him?" ”

Sima Yi said with a smile: "Qishan is the foundation of the Xia soldiers, if you see our soldiers attacking it, all battalions will come to the rescue." But I took the upper grain and burned its grain and grass, so that it would not be connected from end to end, and the Xia army would be defeated. ”

Sima Shi bowed. Sima Yi immediately sent troops to set off, and ordered Guo Huai and Du Shu to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses each to rescue them in the back.

Han Xuan and Zhuge Liang were on the mountain, and they saw that some of the Wei soldiers were three or five thousand people, and some were one or two thousand, and the team was endless, looking forward to it before and after. Zhuge Liang said to Han Xuan: "The Wei army will come to take my Qishan Dazhai." ”

Han Xuan nodded, and said to Jiang Wei and Wang Ping: "If Sima Yi comes in person, you and the others will go to rob the Wei army Dazhai and capture Weinan." ”

All the Wei soldiers rushed to the Qishan Xia Army Village, and the Xia soldiers shouted and ran in unison, pretending to come to save the Qishan Village. Sima Yi saw that the Xia soldiers were all going to save Qishan Dazhai, so he led Sima Shi to lead the army and rushed to the upper valley.

Pang De was at the mouth of the valley, only expecting Sima Yi to come, and suddenly saw a Wei soldier killed, Pang De immediately came to see that it was Sima Yi.

Pang De waved his army together, Sima Yi ordered Sima Shi to lead the elite cavalry to kill, the Xia soldiers were defeated, Pang De pulled his horse and left, and Sima Yi led the army to chase after him. Han Xuan asked a signal flare to be fired, and Pang De only looked at the signal to go.

Sima Yi saw that Pang De was only one person, and there were few soldiers and horses, so he was relieved to chase after him, and Pang De led 500 defeated soldiers to retreat into the valley. Sima Yi chased to the mouth of the valley, and saw that the terrain here was very easy to ambush, so he was suspicious, so he first asked people to enter the valley to investigate.

Tanma reported that there were no ambushes in the valley, and the mountains were full of grass houses.

Sima Yi was overjoyed and said: "This must be the place where the Xia army can store grain." ”

Sima Yi then led a large army into the valley. Sima Yi looked at the surrounding terrain, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and Pang De was gone.

Sima Yi was very suspicious in his heart, and said to Sima Shi: "If there are soldiers who cut off the valley mouth, what can I do? ”

Before the words fell, only the shouts around were heard, and the torches were thrown down on the mountain, burning the valley mouth, and the Wei soldiers had no way to escape. Rockets were fired down from the mountain, and the mines exploded together, and the dry firewood in the grass hut was lit, and the fire soared to the sky.

Sima Yi was so shocked that he was at a loss, dismounted and hugged Sima Shi and cried: "My father and son both died here!" ”

Sima Yi was crying when suddenly a strong wind blew and heavy rain fell. The fire became smaller, but it still burned many Wei soldiers.

Zhuge Liang sighed: "Although the marshal's plan is wonderful, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." Sima Yi escaped by luck today. ”

Han Xuan squinted his eyes and said, "It's too early for the prime minister to say this!" ”

Guo Huai and Du Shu led troops to rescue Sima Yi, and Sima Yi burst out of the smoke and fire, but saw Pang De, Guan Ping, and Ma Dai killing one after another and blocking the valley mouth.

Sima Shi covered Sima Yi to kill out of the valley, but was poisoned by the smoke from the fire. Guo Huai took Sima Yi and hurriedly said: "The Metropolitan Governor will go first, and the end will be cut off!" ”

Pang De rushed over, Guo Huai entangled and killed, and he couldn't fight Shihe, and was beheaded by Pang De.

Sima Yi fled suddenly, and the Xia army chased him very quickly. Sima Yi then got rid of the defeated Wei army that was following him, and fled into the dense forest with a single horse. Liao Hua hurriedly came to catch up, and when he caught up, Sima Yi turned around with a gun and stabbed Liao Hua, Liao Hua grabbed it, and stabbed Sima Yi to death with a backhand.

Liao Hua took off Sima Yi's head and came back to see Han Xuan, Han Xuan was overjoyed and said: "General Liao has made this great achievement, I deserve a heavy reward!" ”

Soon, Jiang Wei and Wang Ping also returned, but they returned defeated, and Sima Yi's second son, Sima Zhao, stayed in Dazhai and killed the two. And Qishan Dazhai was also taken by the Wei army.

However, this battle killed Sima Yi, Sima Shi, and Guo Huai, and the Wei State was about to be destroyed.

When Sima Zhao learned that his father and brother had died in battle, he was so grief-stricken that he led the Wei army to take revenge. The mourning soldiers will win, but the Xia army was defeated for a while.

Pang De saw that he had been robbed by Liao Hua, and suggested to Han Xuan: "Now Sima Zhao and other Wei soldiers are at the end of the crossbow. It is better to lead an army out of the Meridian Valley by the last general, and respond to General Chen Wu, and Chang'an will definitely be taken! ”

Han Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay!" Ling Ming, I allocated 5,000 elite soldiers, after attacking Chang'an from the Meridian Valley, be careful! ”

Pound was overjoyed and took the order to leave. Zhuge Liang couldn't stop persuading, so he had to shake his head and sigh.

However, it was said that Deng Ai was confronting Chen Wu's army in Chang'an, and suddenly heard that there was movement in the Meridian Valley, and all the generals thought that the road in the Meridian Valley was steep, and it was impossible for the Xia army to come out from here. Deng Ai insisted on arranging an ambush in the Meridian Valley, and Fei Yao and Dai Ling were ordered to go.

Pang De led 5,000 elite soldiers to open a road in the Meridian Valley, and finally came out of the valley after difficulties and dangers, but saw the rain of arrows in front of him, and the Xia soldiers panicked and hurriedly retreated to the valley.

The front team was killed by crossbow arrows, and the rear team learned that there was an ambush ahead, and hurriedly retreated, and many soldiers fell off the cliff and died.

Fei Yao and Dai Ling led the army to drive them over, and Pang De raised his head and sighed: "Although I have come to this point now, I am willing to repay the marshal's acquaintance with death!" ”

Pang De ordered the army to march forward bravely to meet the Wei soldiers. Pang De was wounded in more than ten places, and he also killed dozens of Wei soldiers, and Fei Yao took the opportunity to shoot Ma Yang to kill Pang De. Fei Yao slashed Pang De's wound, and Pang De fought Fei Yao fiercely, although he beheaded Fei Yao, he was also killed by Wei soldiers.
