Luoyang Zhuge Liang camp

Zhuge Liang asked Jiang Wei to get up and sit down, and then asked, "Boyo came to me, but to discuss the matter of defending Luoyang a few days ago?" ”

"Exactly, I'm afraid that the delay will be delayed for a long time, and the fighter plane will be delayed. I still say the same thing, Luoyang must not be abandoned! It's just that there must be a plan to follow, the Wei army is approaching, only setting up suspicious soldiers, not a perfect strategy, I'm afraid it won't drag on for a few days. can hide it from Cao Rui, but also can't hide it from Liu Ye and others, and ask the prime minister to make a quick plan. Jiang Wei replied with a fist.

"Boyo is coming, it should be more than that, I already have a countermeasure in my chest." Zhuge Liang looked at Jiang Wei with a smile.

Jiang Wei hesitated slightly, suddenly knelt on the ground, and said, "I have thought about it again and again, and there is only one plan that can be the best strategy!" ”

"What's the plan?"

"Please Prime Minister accept Wei Yan's plan, go out of the Yuanyuan Pass, and take Xuchang directly!" Jiang Wei straightened up and looked at Zhuge Liang with a determined gaze.

"This ......"

Jiang Wei knew that Zhuge Liang had scruples, and continued: "Sun Tzu said, soldiers, treacherous ways. Those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory. I have heard that those who have achieved great things in ancient times have all been born after death, and have succeeded through hardships and dangers. Now that our army is in critical straits, if we blindly seek stability, not only will we have no chance of winning, but our previous efforts will be in vain. The so-called narrow road meets the brave wins, and the victory or defeat of this war depends on the courage and fighting spirit of the three armies! Please ask the prime minister to meet the Wei army with regular soldiers, and then supplement it with surprise soldiers to sneak attack it. The Wei army did not expect that our army would dare to attack, and it would definitely be at a loss, while our army could be anti-guest-oriented, and the enemy army would be flanked before and after, and the major event could be decided! ”

Zhuge Liang was still hesitating, knowing that Jiang Weiqi, like Wei Yan, had the courage to be curious, but fortunately, Jiang Wei was more stable than Wei Yan, and he could be trained well in the future. But at this moment, the two heroes see the same thing, which shows that it is indeed a clever plan. It's just that the northwest is not yet clear, if the Pujin ferry is lost, let alone Luoyang, the entire northwest will be difficult to keep, and it will be difficult to free up your hands to fight with all your might.

Jiang Wei wanted to say something, but suddenly a guard outside the camp happily ran into the camp tent and shouted: "Tell the prime minister, General Huo Yi and Huang Chong have come to report the victory, and the Pujin ferry has won a big victory!" The two generals killed the enemy generals and defeated the enemy army. The Wei army could not cross the bank of the river, and had already retreated! ”

"God bless the man!" Zhuge Liang sat up happily, in a good mood, and most of his illness was cured. "The herald commends Huo Yi, Huang Chong and other meritorious soldiers, and orders them not to underestimate the enemy, continue to hold on, and beware of the Wei army's repetition!"

Jiang Wei took the opportunity to say: "It's really gratifying, so the prime minister has no worries, but he can stick to Luoyang to meet the Wei army, please accept Wei Yan's plan!" ”

Zhuge Liang frowned, stared at Jiang Wei for a long time, and suddenly said with a resolute gaze: "Okay, just according to Boyo's words!" Come on, quickly spread Wei Yan to see you! ”

A moment later, Wei Yan, wearing shackles and prison clothes, appeared in Zhuge Liang's tent.

Zhuge Liang ordered people to remove the shackles, give Wei Yan a seat, wine and food, and then retreat left and right. Wei Yan sat down, didn't speak, and hugged his fists in thanks.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "General Wei, please." ”

Wei Yan looked at the wine and food in front of him, and smiled calmly: "This is a send-off wine." ”

"Where is it, it's not a send-off wine, it's a heart-to-heart wine, please." Zhuge Liang smiled and raised his glass and drank it all.

"What does that mean?" Wei Yan was puzzled.

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and sighed: "Wen Chang, you and I have been assisting the first emperor for more than twenty years. The death of the first emperor entrusted you and me with a heavy responsibility, but in the past ten years, we have been busy with our own affairs, and we have divided a lot, and it is difficult to unite the Northern Expedition, so there is today's disaster. ”

"All in all, I lost, I Wei Yanji is not as good as others, and there is only one death!" Wei Yan looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

Zhuge Liang frowned when he heard this: "How can you think of death?" What kind of hatred do you have for me? ”

Wei Yan looked at Zhuge Liang and sighed: "Actually, I don't have any hatred for you, on the contrary, we are like-minded, and we all advocate the Northern Expedition and the revival of the Han Dynasty." It's just that I oppose your entry into the army and blindly seek stability, and I have missed many great opportunities in vain. It must be known that Cao Wei has a lot of cities, and the soldiers, horses, money, and food are several times that of me, if you only know how to fight steadily and steadily, step by step, and dare not let go, protracted, when can you get the Central Plains? Cao Wei is consumed, we can't afford it! I think that our army has made several northern expeditions, but they have been in vain. I feel that the sun and the moon are faltering, the veteran is coming, and the achievements have not been built, and the ambition is difficult to pay. Wei Yan couldn't help but have tears in his eyes as he spoke.

Zhuge Liang was also moved to tears after hearing this, and said: "Wen Chang's words are reasonable, but it's not that I don't understand military strategy, it's that I shoulder the heavy responsibility of a big man and don't dare to take risks easily." I also know that the art of war has the trick of a cloud soldier, and it must be in harmony with each other. It's just that the art of war also says that those who are good at fighting are invincible first, and then wait for the enemy to be victorious. Those who are good at using soldiers first need to be invincible, and then wait for the opportunity to defeat the enemy. If you don't defeat yourself, you will have the initiative in your own hands; Whether or not the enemy can be defeated depends on whether the enemy gives us an opportunity to take advantage of it. The enemy has no chance to take advantage of it, and we are on the defensive; The enemy has an opportunity to take advantage of it, and we will attack it by surprise. That's why I've been steady and steady many times. Wei is a big country, there are many good generals, and the masters are fighting, each is waiting for the other's mistakes, the slightest carelessness, all lost. So it's not that I don't want to win, it's that I don't have a good chance. Although it is difficult for our army to win a quick victory, it is not limited to a quick defeat, and can only advance slowly and wait for the opportunity. ”

Wei Yan lowered his head thoughtfully.

Zhuge Liang continued: "Therefore, the army that wins the battle always undergoes careful analysis, comparison, and planning before the war, believing that it occupies more favorable conditions, and the battle will be won, and then the battle is engaged. The troops who lost the battle were always ill-conceived, believing that they could take advantage of the opportunity to engage first, and trying to win the war by chance. In the past, I didn't accept your Meridian Valley plan, but after I considered it thoroughly, I felt that our army's chances of victory were not high, and I was worried about destruction. It's just that you haven't believed it, and this time you have made this defeat by attacking the enemy lightly. In the art of war, there will be five dangers, death can be killed, and anger can be insulted. As a general, if you don't cultivate your self-cultivation, you can't bear your temperament, and you only know how to fight and seek danger, you will sooner or later calculate for others, and Yun Chang and Yide will be defeated because of this. I hope that after this battle, Wen Chang will learn a lesson, devote himself to studying the way to victory, and continue to carry the banner of the Northern Expedition! ”

When Wei Yan heard that Zhuge Liang intended to pardon, he was so ashamed that he knelt on the ground and couldn't stand it.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly left his seat to help Wei Yan up, and said with a smile: "I am also at fault." I have been cautious all my life and did not dare to use risks, and the Wei army also knew that I used soldiers, and repeatedly restrained me because of this. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is true that many good opportunities have been missed as a result. But since I almost fell ill and died in Wuzhangyuan, after I recovered from my illness, I better understood the truth of the change of power of soldiers. If you blindly seek stability and remain unchanged, I am afraid that you will be firmly restrained by the Wei army, lose the opportunity, and the great cause of the Northern Expedition will really be hopeless. So in the past few months, I have changed my way forward, lured Zhongda, seized Luoyang, and used more deceit and dangerous tricks, but I also achieved a lot of success. It can be seen from this that the way of using troops should not be conservative, and it is also beneficial to take appropriate risks. ”

Zhuge Liang paused deliberately, and then said: "Although Luoyang is critical this time, it must not be abandoned. The decisive battle with the Wei army is a golden opportunity. It's just that I want to hold on, and I'm afraid that the Wei army will suddenly arrive before the reinforcements arrive, so I want to delay the enemy army to hold on and wait for reinforcements. As for how to slow down the enemy army, I have thought about it, and there is only one plan that is very appropriate......." Zhuge Liang was silent after speaking, and looked at Wei Yan with a smile.

"Dare to ask, what's the plan?" Wei Yan stared at Zhuge Liang intently, and his heart was full of excitement.

"The soldiers are out of the pass, and they will take Xuchang directly!" Zhuge Liang grabbed Wei Yan's hand and said, "It is your plan for Wei Yan and Wei Dadu!" ”

"Ah.....h I was still a prisoner a few days ago, and life and death are unpredictable, but now I can make meritorious contributions with a leap and show my ambitions in life!

"Don't be surprised, I'm not impressed, but I've thought it through. Cao Rui poured out of the nest, and took advantage of the great victory of the Tiger Pass, expecting that our army would shrink its forces to defend in fear, and it was decided that our army would dare to take the initiative to attack and attack it by surprise! Xuchang's troops will not be much, but the princes, nobles, and soldiers are all here. If it can be captured in one battle, the enemy army will be in chaos, but it will collapse without a fight. Even if it can't be attacked for a while, Cao Rui will definitely hold back when he hears that something is happening in Xuchang, and send someone to inquire about the news to determine the advance and retreat. In this way, our army will mainly oppose the guest and can occupy more favorable situations. When the army is gathered, and Wen Chang will attack me inside and out, then the Wei State will rest! ”

"It's just ......," Zhuge Liang suddenly stopped, hesitated.

"What concerns does the prime minister have, but it doesn't matter, I'll die for Wei Yan!" Wei Yan clenched his fists and said solemnly.

"It's just that when I go to the Yuanyuan Pass, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, the roads are dangerous, and I am deep into the enemy's territory, and I can't meet the soldiers, horses, food and grass, which is really nine deaths. If Wen Chang really wants to go, he must work hard, not afraid of life and death, and have a firm fighting spirit, so that he can fight with all his might! Zhuge Liang deliberately said excitedly.

Wei Yan laughed when he heard this: "Prime Minister don't underestimate me!" Since I dare to do something, I dare to do it. Don't say that the mountains and rivers are dangerous, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, I will never give up! As for the grain and grass for soldiers and horses, those who make good use of the soldiers, no longer serve in the country, the grain is not for three years, and it is used for the country, because the grain is for the enemy, I will find a way to make the army food and soldiers and horses sufficient, and the prime minister does not have to worry! ”

"Good!" Zhuge Liang said with relief: "This is difficult and dangerous, there should not be too many soldiers and horses, and more will be easy to be detected." Today, he can lead 15,000 troops, with a number of people, horses wrapped in hooves, day and night, quietly coming out, and then moving with the camera. I sent Wu Ban, Gao Xiang, and Chen Shi as deputy generals, and I hope that a few of you can build the miraculous feats of the Battle of Lucheng again. In addition, Guo Huai and others are sent to lead Yongliang Jingqi to help you, Guo Huai is both civil and military, familiar with Cao Wei's internal affairs, and Cao Wei's hatred is as deep as the sea, you can discuss everything with him, don't be arbitrary, and reproduce the disaster of the tiger prison! ”

Zhuge Liang patted Wei Yan's hand and said with emotion: "Wen Chang, this battle is please!" Be careful, and come back safely. You and I have to work together to help the big man! ”

Wei Yan knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "Prime Minister Heavenly Grace, I, Wei Yan, am toothless and unforgettable, in this life and this life, I will never live up to the Prime Minister!" If you don't win, be willing to accept military law! Just wait for my good news! ”

Zhuge Liang helped Wei Yan up, the two looked at each other for a long time, and they couldn't calm down for a long time, and the knots that had been entangled for several years were finally unraveled.

The next day, Zhuge Liang convened everyone to discuss the matter and immediately announced the order, although everyone was shocked, they also admired Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan's courage and determination.

Wei Yan raised his glass and shouted at the 15,000 soldiers who were about to go on an expedition: "Eliminate the violence and peace of Han, thanks to all the kings!" I hope you will live and die with me, strive to move forward, and never return! ”

"No win, no return! No win, no return! No win, no return! The loud slogans of the three armed forces resounded in the sky.

"Let's go!"

Wei Yan's ancient plot has finally opened a new chapter.
