At night, Meng Da and Shen Yi led 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, with the rank of man, the horse picked up the bell, and went straight to the Zhuge Song camp.

In front of the village, Meng Da saw that there were guards in the camp from a distance, and with an order, he led the army into the village. The defenders at the gate of the village fled and retreated to the back of the village, Meng Da thought that he had a plan, and urged the army to hurry, especially afraid that Zhuge Song would run away.

At this moment, the back village suddenly burst into flames, and many felled trees stopped in front of Meng Da, Meng Da also thought that this was Zhuge Song's use to block the enemy, and was about to continue to urge the horse forward, but was stopped by Shen Yi beside him.

Meng Da said unhappily: "Why did you stop me? ”

Shen Yi shouted in panic: "I have won the general, quickly withdraw to the city!" ”

Meng Da looked around and found that countless torches were suddenly lit on the north and south sides, and a large number of torches were rushing towards his rear army with the sound of earth-shattering shouts of killing.

It turned out that Zhuge Song and Shana had already fixed more than 10,000 torches with sticks to the distance of people on the north and south sides, and when the fire in the village started, each sergeant was responsible for quickly lighting five torches and rushing towards the camp with two in hand.

As for the earth-shattering shouting of killing, it was because Zhuge Song had already told the sergeants that the enemy would not dare to fight when he saw that he was ambushed, and the louder he shouted, the faster the enemy would flee, and there was no need to bring long weapons to fight. So the sergeants abandoned their guns and halberds, and rushed to the camp with only short swords and torches, and the speed was much faster than normal.

Meng Da was shocked, thinking that Zhuge Song had tens of thousands of troops here, and urgently led the army back to the city, but before he left the front village, a large number of soldiers from the rear army had fled head-on, scattering the guards around Meng Da. I saw a red-armored female general with a majestic gun to the gate of the village, and there were countless torches behind her, it was Shana!

Shen Yi went up to fight, and in a panic, he was hit in the back by his spear and fell off his horse in a moment. Meng Da did not dare to move forward, so he had to flee with the defeated army to the back village. Because there were many fires and trees in the back village, many sergeants could not escape and knelt on the ground to beg for surrender. Meng Da fled to Tianming, trapped and trapped, with only a few hundred people around him.

At this time, an army appeared in front of him, and the leader was Liu Feng. Seeing Meng Da's embarrassed appearance, remembering that he was driven out of Shangyong by Meng Da in the first place, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart and led the army forward. Meng Da saw that the general trend had gone, so he dismounted and knelt on the ground, and was about to surrender.

didn't want Liu Feng to come like the wind, a shot hit Meng Da in the chest, and then threw it out. The accompanying sergeants were just about to resist, but they were surrounded by Liu Fengzhi's corps, and they all laid down their weapons after punishing them for their first evil and surrendering to avoid death.

Since then, Meng Da and Shen Yi went out of the city to bring people and horses due to the death of the two, and in less than a day, they were all surrendered by Zhuge Song and Liu Feng due to hunger and no way back to the city.

Shen Tan saw that there were a lot of torches outside the city that night, and knew that Meng Da was in the plan, and he didn't care about his brother's life or death, and took advantage of Zhuge Song's pursuit of Meng Da overnight, and secretly went out of the city from the west gate with his cronies to the west, and fled to Chang'an in the Meridian Valley.

The army defending the city found that Shen Tan had left at dawn, and because most of them were local soldiers, they opened the city to welcome Zhuge Song into the city. Since then, Zhuge Song has received more than 17,000 soldiers from Shangyong, a total of 8,000 people, and the military strength has reached more than 25,000 people.

Tanma reported that Xu Huang was still more than 300 miles away from Shangyong City, and the army was no more than 10,000 people. Zhuge Song simply demolished Liu Feng's original camp, joined forces and entered the city to rest, replaced the generals who commanded more than 1,000 people, and reorganized the army to wait for Cao's army.

During this period, someone told Zhuge Song that Liu Feng privately killed Meng Da to vent his anger. Zhuge Song pretended not to know, and did not call Liu Feng to inquire without a word. Liu Feng was still uneasy in the first few days, and he didn't care about it after a long time, and only waited for Zhuge Song to return to Jiangling to report the good news, and he could atone for his crimes.

Besides, Xu Huang marched slowly, just to observe the mediocre situation, and then decide to advance and retreat. When he made a detailed report, Zhuge Song's department was no more than 10,000 people, but he used a plan to trap Meng Da and Shen Yi, so scared that Shen Tan abandoned the city and left, and the army multiplied, so he returned to the army Wancheng, no longer going west, and only wrote to Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao finished reading the book, he couldn't help but sigh: "Liu Bei has already got the dragon and phoenix chicks, and then there is this son who will restore Jingzhou and then collect Shangyong, if he waits for his wings to become fuller, whether he goes west to help Liu Bei, or east to help Guan Yu, I am afraid it will become a big disaster!" ”

After speaking, he looked around at the strategists, and saw that Sima Yi seemed to have something to say, so he asked him in words.

Sima Yi replied: "Today's Zhuge Song takes the mediocrity, which is not comparable to Liu Feng and Meng Da and the like before. Jingzhou has just been warned, our army was defeated and reinstated, Wu army was defeated and defeated, and Liu Bei was restored to Jingzhou, and the Jingzhou army is now insufficient for self-protection, and it will not be enough to suffer in three or five years. ”

Cao Cao nodded and asked again: "Then according to your opinion, what strategy will we do in the future?" ”

Sima Yi said: "According to the minister's opinion, the strategy of Eastern Wu can be Jing and Xu, and Liu Bei's heart must be in Wanluo. Therefore, according to the minister's directness, our side should take a truce with Wu in the next few years and protect Liangzhou with heavy troops. ”

Cao Cao thought so, and saw that the other strategists nodded one after another, although the vigilance of Sima Yi was deepened, he still sent Jiang Ji to Eastern Wu to show goodwill, and on the other hand, he ordered Cao Hong and Zhang He to lead 30,000 troops to Chang'an to help Zhong Xuan guard, and then run Liangzhou.

Sun Quan suffered a lot of losses due to the defeat in Jingzhou before, and although he summoned Jiang Ji, he did not have a good face, but felt that he was unlucky when he saw Cao Cao's envoy. All because of the previous sneak attack on Jiangling was mostly Chaisang's soldiers, at this time the troops of Wei Su and Jianye were still intact, if it was not for the defeat of Zhang Liao in Hefei before, but he wanted to take advantage of this time to rebuild with Liu Bei to lead the troops to the north again.

Fortunately, Eastern Wu never lacked ministers to calm the people, coupled with Lü Meng's new defeat, the belligerents did not say anything, although Sun Quan was ostensibly angry at Jiang Ji, under the persuasion of Zhuge Jin and other civil servants, he still agreed to the agreement of the two sides to repair the armistice.

A year has passed since then, and there has been no fighting on all three sides. In April of the following year, Guan Yu's troops in Jingzhou gradually recovered, and the Shuzhong sergeants were also repaired. Liu Bei ordered Kong Ming to assist Liu Chan to stay in the CD, with Pang Tong as the military division, and Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and other generals raised 50,000 Chinese troops to march towards Hanzhong, and ordered Zhuge Song to leave Liu Fengshou Shangyong to lead an army of 10,000 to Hanzhong to converge.

Although Liu Feng was a little dissatisfied with not being able to participate in the Northern Expedition, it was also a great responsibility to stay in Shangyong. Before leaving, Zhuge Song saw that Liu Feng wanted to speak and stopped, so he smiled and let him have something to say.

Liu Feng hesitated for a long time, until Zhuge Song showed impatience, and then said: "The general went to Hanzhong to follow his father's Northern Expedition, and he should be invincible, but if the Northern Expedition has results, Cao Cao will lead the main force west to Chang'an to face his father, and then if the second uncle sends troops to the north like before, and orders me to send troops to help, what should I do?" ”

Zhuge Song was stunned and speechless. Guan Yu's character he knows best, although he suffered a big setback before, his arrogance is a little restrained. However, as Liu Feng said, Cao Cao led his troops westward, and Xuchang was empty, so it was inevitable that he would not wash his previous humiliation and send troops again to try to make meritorious contributions.

Faced with Liu Feng's problem, Zhuge Song didn't know what to do for a while. If it were him, he would not be able to help the war. asked Liu Feng to remain the same as before, and he had just recovered from Shangyong, and he was transferred to the west to help, and he did not send troops on the grounds that his defense was still unstable.

Liu Feng said yes, but asked again, "What if my uncle insists on sending troops and calls for help in case of danger again?" ”

Zhuge Song rubbed his forehead vigorously with the back of his right hand and sighed: "It's too late to save you in distress!" Although he was full of wry smiles, his words were categorical: "As long as General Guan moves troops, he will immediately expedite the letter to me, and I will return to the army to be mediocre, so as to complete!" ”
