Text Chapter 25 Clever Counter-Strategy

Zhuge Liang's camp thirty miles outside Luoyang City

"Report~, the sentry cavalry found out that the enemy army left Luoyang City this morning and set up camp ten miles away from the city!" Scout reports.

"Who's out of the city? How many soldiers? Zhuge Liang had doubts and asked.

The scout said: "Looking at the banner from afar, it is under the banner of "Zhuge ", and there are about 5,000 people in the department!" ”

"Zhuge ? Isn't it Zhuge Day? As a Luoyang guard, he actually went out of the city lightly. The prime minister is trying to lure the snake out of the hole, which is really gratifying. Yang Yi was overjoyed.

"There are not many soldiers and horses, and they are not the main force in Luoyang. Lead the crowd out of the city, according to the city ten miles of defense, if my guess is correct, it will be a corner. Zhuge led the iron cavalry to garrison outside, and the rest of the people were closed inside; If the prime minister attacks Zhuge Dan, the city can lead troops to attack me; If the prime minister wants to attack the city, Zhuge can also harass him by horse. When our army first arrived, it was advisable to fight a quick battle, and it would be unfavorable to me for so long, which was the policy of Chen Gong in the past. Jiang Wei pondered.

Zhuge Liang nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Boyo can know himself and the enemy, and it is the blessing of our army to anticipate the enemy's opportunities." Our army is pressing, Zhuge Gongxiu can not be chaotic in the face of danger, and he is also quite talented in defending with the momentum of the horn, which can really be described as an opponent in chess. It's a pity that he uses Chen Gong's strategy, but he only knows one of them, but he doesn't know the other. ”

Everyone was puzzled, and Zhuge Liang continued: "Chen Gong used to make suggestions and fight for horns, and the generals must work together and support each other. I have already thought of a countermeasure in what I said before, but I want to use a counter-plot to separate Zhuge and the monarch and ministers. Zhuge is the same sect as me, although it is inconvenient for me to attack it, Emperor Wei is afraid that he will collude with me. I didn't know how to carry out the rebellion before, but now Zhuge is leading the army outside, and I am in the middle of my plan. Just send a small work and mix into Luoyang City to spread rumors, then the momentum of Zhuge will be solved in an instant, and he will not be able to return to Luoyang, and he will be captured by me! ”

The generals were overjoyed, only to see Zhuge Liang order one by one: "Yang Yi received the order, I wrote a letter to Zhuge today, you arranged to fill Zhuge Dan's personal soldiers, sneaked into Luoyang with a letter to report the secret, saying that Zhuge Dan had fallen, and wanted to pretend to be invincible to our army defeated and retreat, and lure the Luoyang defenders to open the door and seize the city." ”

"Wei Yan and Guo Huai received the order, and ordered the two of you to lead the iron cavalry of the headquarters, and attack it urgently tonight while the fence of Zhuge Festival is undecided. Before the Luoyang army set out, it was necessary to break through the Zhuge Festival camp and chase it to Luoyang City. ”

"Jiang Wei received the order, after Zhuge Dan's army was defeated, he wanted to return to Luoyang, but I expected that he would not be able to enter Luoyang City, and he would flee to Wancheng. You follow me to set up an ambush on the way from Luoyang to Wancheng, and I will personally meet this clan brother for a while! ”

"Wu Yi and Wang Ping received the order and ordered the two of you to stick to the camp of the Chinese army and beware of the enemy attack!"

"No!" All the generals did as they were told.
