Text 24 Zhuge Duel

Luoyang City

"Report! Wei Yan, the general of the Shu army, has conquered Hangu Pass, and the troops have advanced to Luoyang for thirty miles, and they have set up camp! Scout reports.

Zhuge Dan and others were shocked, and they didn't want Cao Rui to move the capital soon, Zhuge Liang really came to attack.

"How fast it is to use its troops! Does General Zhuge have a countermeasure? "The speaker is Zhu Shuo, the leading general of the Chinese army. It turned out that after Cao Rui moved the capital, he still secretly left Zhu Shuo, the old minister of the Cao Pi Dynasty, and the general Pang Hui, the son of the late general Pang De, and others, in the name of assisting in the defense of Luoyang, but in fact monitoring Zhuge Dan.

Zhuge Dan bowed his head and pondered, less than a month after he took over, Zhuge Liang marched into Luoyang. In front of him, Zhu Shuo is called a supervising army, but in fact he is monitoring himself, and since his arrival, the two have been at odds from time to time, so that the deployment of defense is slow, and the Luoyang barrier Hangu Pass is easily lost. His identity is embarrassing at this time, and he is afraid that he will be suspected of collaborating with the enemy, if he can't let go, I'm afraid that Cao Wei won't be able to tolerate him.

"Don't worry, general, I already have a plan." Zhuge Dan thought for a while, raised his head and said: "I expect Wei Yan to be stationed in the future, it must be because the troops are not enough to attack Luoyang, and he will wait for reinforcements, and he wants to join forces with Zhuge Liang's rear army." Now that the enemy is coming, they can take advantage of the undecided fence and take the initiative to attack. ”

Zhu Shuo said: "Our side lost the pass and the army was defeated, and we must not go out lightly, but we can wait for it to attack and then attack it!" The two argued endlessly, and both broke up unhappily. After a few days, Wei Yan's soldiers have been decided, Zhuge Liang will rush to the generals, the army is mighty, the flags are all over the field, and the company camp is dozens of miles, which is very spectacular.

The scout hurriedly came to report, and Zhuge said: "Zhuge Liang is far away, and he can't last long." I want to personally lead the cavalry out of the cantonment outside, and the general will lead the rest of the people to stay inside; If Zhuge Liang attacks me, the general will lead troops to hit his back; If I come to attack the city, I will save it from the rear, and break the city; However, on the tenth day, Zhuge Liang's army was exhausted, but it could be broken with one drum, which was the momentum of the horns. ”

Zhu Shuo was shocked: "The general wants to go out of the city? This and this...I think far away is better than sticking to it, the general is burdened with heavy responsibilities, how can he go to danger lightly? ”

Zhuge Dan hurriedly said: "I don't spare my life, this matter is urgent, if I hesitate, I will suffer!" ”

Zhu Shuo groaned and said: "Wait for me to think about it again, and I'll discuss it with you tomorrow." Then he hurriedly retreated.

……

Luoyang Zhu Shuo Fuzhong

"What? Zhuge wants to go out of the city and become a horn with me? General Pang Hui exclaimed.

"Zhuge Festival and Zhuge Liang are originally the same sect, and His Majesty left me in Luoyang to monitor Zhuge Festival. Its previous defense was not effective, resulting in the loss of Hangu Pass, the Luoyang portal was wide open, and the reverse has been exposed. This time I want to go out of the city again, and I am afraid that I will never return. Zhu Shuo said.

However, it is now critical, and it is difficult to hold on to it for a long time, and it is not a bad strategy to fight the corners, and Chen Gong has also advised Lu Buna in the past. If the general doesn't believe it, I am willing to lead the soldiers and horses to go with Zhuge Dan, and forgive him for not daring to rebel! Pang Hui drew his sword and said.

"No, if it is deceitful, will the general not be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? General Pang also needs to defend Luoyang City. Zhu Shuo shook his head and said.

"That being the case, it is better to ask Jiang Ji and Jiang Gong, and I heard that Jiang Gong is far-sighted..."

"Jiang Ji has repeatedly contradicted His Majesty, and he will be dissatisfied if he stays in Luoyang, how can I ask him if I can't prevent it. And now he is sick in bed, faint and old. ”

"This can't be, that's not okay, if so, don't you sit still?" Pang Hui asked urgently.

Zhu Shuo paced back and forth, stomped his feet violently, and said: "That's it, just follow Zhuge and let him lead the troops out of the city to set up defenses." It's just that he didn't give much, and only led 5,000 troops and horses out of the city with him, and he became a horn with me. If it is wrong, it will be easy for my tens of thousands of troops to be wiped out! ”

"Good strategy, the last general will inform Zhuge Day! Pang Hui smiled and said goodbye to Zhu Shuo.

The next day, Zhuge Dan heard that Zhu Shuo agreed to lead his army out of the city, but he was not overjoyed, and learned that he only led 5,000 soldiers and horses, and knew that Zhu Shuo intended to make things difficult. In desperation, he had to grit his teeth and quickly go out of the city to set up defenses.
