The 60th Battle: The Southern Han Dynasty of Eastern Wu and the Southern Han Dynasty drove Cao Wei to unify the Central Plains (31)

Cao Chun and Zhou Tai were defeated by Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun's four generals, and while ordering someone to report back to Sima Yi, they stared at the whereabouts of the wooden ox and the horse. What they didn't expect was that the wooden ox and flowing horse, who didn't move just now, returned to Zhao Yun and the others and began to walk again. Cao Chun and Zhou Tai saw the wooden ox and the horse walking again, so they wanted to chase it again, but they saw the smoke and clouds protruding behind the mountain, and a team of divine soldiers and ghosts, holding flags and swords, yelling and shouting, all kinds of weird shapes, surrounded by the wooden ox and the horse.

Zhou Tai was shocked: "We can't drive away, but Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong can drive it, and this must be the power of ghosts and gods to help!" ”

The boss was scared enough, and the ordinary soldiers were even more unbearable. Everyone was frightened and did not dare to chase after them. Sima Yi learned that the troops in front were defeated and the wooden cattle and horses were all robbed, so he hurriedly led the army to rescue them. Halfway through the road, there was a sound of drums, and the soldiers and horses of the four roads came out of the precipitous place, and the shouts shook the ground. On the flag, the big Han generals Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Wei Yan, and Pang De.

Sima Yi was shocked when he saw the four of them, and Cao Bing panicked and fled. Sima Yi was defeated by the four generals for a while, and walked single-handedly into the dense forest, trying to avoid the pursuers.

Pang Dema caught up with Sima Yi and slashed him with a knife, where is Sima Yi's opponent? Don't dare to fight, just go around the tree. Pound struck the trunk of the tree with a knife, splitting the arm-thick branch in two.

Although Sima Yi was not hit, he was scared into a cold sweat, and the golden helmet on his head was also scraped by the branches, and he was embarrassed. Taking advantage of the deciduous branches to obstruct Pound's vision, he escaped from the forest.

Pang De didn't expect that the cut branches would hinder his pursuit, and when he used his knife to pick up the broken wood and then drove him out of the woods, he didn't know where Sima Yi went, and saw a golden helmet in the east of the woods. Pang De knew Sima Yi's golden helmet, so he took the helmet and mounted his horse to chase east, but Sima Yi was nowhere to be seen. It turned out that Sima Yi abandoned the golden helmet to Lin Dong, but went to the west.

Sima Yi used the strategy of attacking the east and the west to lure Pang De away, and was secretly rejoicing, but unexpectedly, another team of men and horses arrived, and the first general was Wei Yan. Sima Yi sighed secretly in his heart: My life is over!

Wei Yan's eyes lit up when he saw Sima Yi, and he turned his horse to chase after him. Sima Yi is not a person who sits idly by, but just struggles to urge the horse forward. Seeing that Wei Yan was about to catch up, suddenly two people came out in front of him, it was Cao Chun and Zhou Tai. These two generals did not dare to chase the wooden ox and the horse, so they led the troops back to the camp, and when Sima Yi and Wei Yan were fighting, they came to the rescue.

Although Zhou Tai and Cao Chun's martial arts were not as good as Wei Yan's, they had more soldiers and horses than Wei Yan. Wei Yan didn't dare to fight, so he had to let Sima Yi go, and then joined Pang De, Dian Wei, and Zhou Cang to return to the camp together.

When the four generals returned to the camp, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun and others had already driven back the wooden cattle and horses, and intercepted tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass. Pound presented the golden helmet and was recorded as the first meritorious. Wei Yan kept lamenting that his life was not good, and he was actually rescued by Sima Yi.

Sima Yi fled back to the center of the village and was depressed, this battle not only lost the soldiers but also lost the grain and grass, and now he didn't dare to use the wooden oxen to flow the horses, but just sent the order to the deep ditch and high base, and he couldn't hold out.

Nan Ye solved the problem of grain and grass, and ordered Wei Yan and other generals to carry Sima Yi's golden helmet to fight in front of the Wei camp. Sima Yi didn't care when he heard this, but smiled and said: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." Nan Ye is anxious to fight, and we will stick to it and can't make it happen. ”

Wei Yan and the others insulted Fang Hui for a long time, only saying that Sima Yi refused to fight. Guo Jiawen reported: "Sima Yi is not exactly what I want, and the national teacher can act according to the previous plan." ”

When Nan Ye heard this, he secretly ordered Ma Chao to dig a deep trench in the gourd valley, accumulate more dry firewood and ignite the fire, and use firewood and grass to build a shack on the surrounding mountains, block the back road of the gourd valley, and ambush the soldiers in the valley, and use the flag and light on the mountain as a signal.

After the arrangement was completed, Nan Ye ordered Zhao Yun to lead half of the men and horses to guard the camp, and personally led half of the men and horses to retreat. The subordinates will arrange them one by one, and they will all act according to Guo Jiading's plan.

Cao Pi and Sun Quan learned that Nan Ye had withdrawn from the army, so they summoned Sima Yi and Lu Su to ask for advice. Sima Yi said: "There is no shortage of grain and grass in Nanye, and there must be a plan for retiring for no reason, and we can't wait lightly." ”

Lu Su said: "What Sima Dudu said is extremely true! It can make the probe horse probe again. ”

A few days later, the Malay newspaper said: "Nan Ye led his troops back thirty miles to camp, and there was a forest next to the camp, and the soldiers were all cutting trees in the forest, wanting to build thunderbolts. ”

When Sun Quan heard that Nan Ye was building a thunderbolt car again, he couldn't help but say eagerly: "If Nan Ye's thunderbolt car is successful, we can't defend the camp!" It is better to take advantage of the fact that Nan Ye's troops are not in the camp and attack the Chinese army. ”

Cao Pi hesitated: "Wei Yan is leading the troops to fight every day, it seems that there are a lot of people left in the camp, will we attack the camp in the middle of Nanye's plan?" ”

Lu Meng said: "The Art of War: Fiction is real, and reality is virtual." Nanye's soldiers retreated, Wei Yan should not have dared to scold, but now he is scolding every day, which is exactly the act of suspicious soldiers. ”

Sima Yi said: "Nan Ye is scheming, and he should be cautious. ”

Sun Quan already distrusted Sima Yi because of his previous schemes. So he said: "If you don't act again, when Nanye Thunderbolt builds a return army, I will be defeated!" ”

Seeing that Sun Quan was eager, Lu Su persuaded him: "I don't know the reality of the Nanye camp, I can test one or two first, and then decide whether to attack the camp or not." ”

Sun Quan asked, "I don't know how to tempt?" ”

Lu Su said: "You can send troops to fight with Wei Yan." If there are reinforcements in Nanye's camp to help in the battle, there will be more people in his battalion. If Wei Yan escapes back to the camp and does not come out, there will be few men and horses in his camp, and we can attack him with our troops. ”

Sun Quan and Cao Pi nodded when they heard this, and ordered the two generals Zhou Tai and Zu Mao to lead the troops out. Wei Yan only brought hundreds of soldiers to call for battle in front of the camp, but he didn't expect the Wu army to leave the camp, and seeing that Zhou Tai and Zu Mao each led 5,000 soldiers to fight, Wei Yan turned his horse and left, and fled back to the camp. Zhou Tai and Zu Mao chased them to the Nanye camp, only to be shot back by a rain of arrows.

The soldiers and horses in the Nanye camp did not come out, and Sun Quan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then discussed the matter of attacking the camp. Sima Yi said cautiously: "There are few soldiers in the Nanye battalion, maybe they are ambushed in the mountains, so they should send more horses to check whether there are ambushes in front of the camp and behind the camp before attacking the camp." ”

Cao Pi and Sun Quan also felt that it was not a big mistake to be careful, so they sent a detailed investigation to investigate. Soon after, he made a detailed report: "There were no ambushes around the camp, but I saw wooden oxen and horses in groups of twenty or thirty, or forty or fifty groups, each loaded with rice and grain, and walked back and forth on the mountain road near the gourd valley. The mouth of the valley is heavily guarded, and we can't enter the valley. ”

Lu Mengwen reported: "Nanye transports grain back and forth for a long time, and there must be a place to store grain, perhaps in the gourd valley." ”

Sun Quan said: "In this case, you can enter the grain and rob the grain." ”

Sima Yi said cautiously: "I'm afraid it's Nanye's plan again." ”

Lu Meng said: "If the governor is so suspicious, when will Nan Ye be destroyed?" If the governor does not go, I should fight to the death to repay the country's kindness. ”

Lu Su persuaded: "Nan Ye has a lot of tricks, we should be careful, it is better to test one or two more, first rob the grain soldiers and ask them, and then decide on the strategy of robbing the grain." ”

When Sun Quan and Cao Pi heard this, they also ordered Zhou Tai and Zu Mao to go out. The two went to the gourd valley in two ways, and before they reached the valley, they saw the Han army driving wooden oxen and horses. The two rushed to kill together, the Han soldiers were defeated and ran, the wooden cattle and horses were all captured by the two generals, and more than 100 people were sent to the Wu army.

Sima Yi saw that the two generals had robbed the grain and returned, so he summoned the soldiers to inquire about the truth. The soldiers all said: "The national teacher expected that the armies of the two countries would not be able to hold out, so he ordered us to transport grain to Hulu Valley for a long time, and personally went to supervise the construction of the thunderbolt car." ”

Lu Su and Lu Meng were afraid that the soldiers would be deceitful, and they interrogated the soldiers separately, and they all said that Nanye Tun grain gourd valley. Sima Yi also interrogated repeatedly, but found nothing strange.

Sun Quan saw that he was clear and said: "Now Nan Ye is indeed not in the camp, and the gourd valley is indeed a place to store grain, so we can choose a place to attack it!" ”

Although Sima Yi didn't see anything wrong, he still had doubts in his heart, and felt that Nan Ye would not be so careless, so he said: "The words of the pawn cannot be trusted, maybe Nan Ye deliberately arranged it, so that the second general could go to rob the grain again, and secretly watch the movement of the pawn, so as to know the truth or falsehood of his words." ”

Zhou Tai and Zu Mao led the troops out again after the order, and in half a month, they won several battles in a row, plundering a lot of grain, grass and soldiers. Later, the words of the pawn were no different from the previous pawn, and there was no conspiracy in the camp before the pawn, so Sima Yi was relieved.

Sun Quan was afraid that Nan Ye would build a thunderbolt car to return to the army, so he had been waiting a little impatiently, and seeing that Sima Yi had finally confirmed the reality of Nan Ye's camp, he urged: "Now that we know that Nan Ye is not in the camp, we can choose a quick attack." ”

Sima Yi said: "Although Nan Ye is not here, his battalion is also very difficult to attack, and we should still use it to take it." In my opinion, Your Majesty and the Lord can lead a large army to attack the Nanye camp first, so that the soldiers and horses of each battalion will definitely come to the rescue. But I will lead the elite soldiers to the gourd valley to burn their grain and grass, so that they will not be able to take care of each other, and they will be defeated! ”

Sun Quan and Cao Pi nodded again and again when they heard the plan, and they raised a large army to the Nanye camp that night. Sima Yi also sent troops at the same time, leading Zhou Tai, Cao Chun and 20,000 elite soldiers to Hulu Valley.

As soon as the armies of Wu and Wei moved, they had to report to the Han army camp. It was true that Nan Ye led the troops to leave the camp, but Zhao Yun, Yang Xiong, Wei Yan, and Pang De were all in the camp, so they were not panicked. The generals were not panicked, but they showed that they were panicked, and the battalion sergeants and soldiers shouted and ran together, pretending to stick to the momentum of waiting for help.

Sun Quan and Cao Pi didn't know that the camp had been prepared, and when they saw that Nanye's men and horses were in a panic, they thought that the plan had been accomplished, so they commanded the soldiers to attack the camp. The sergeants of the Nanye battalion were flustered on the surface, but in fact they advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and the fourth general Zhao Yun was a super-first-class general, and it was effortless to resist the Wu and Wei armies by occupying the geographical advantage.

Sima Yi secretly led the troops to the Hulu Valley, and halfway through, he saw that the sergeants and soldiers in the valley were running in the direction of the big camp, and he couldn't help but be determined in his heart, leading Zhou Tai, Cao Chun, the two generals and the elite of the camp to kill the Hulu Valley.

Ma Chao has been guarding the valley mouth, just hoping that someone will come to rob the grain. Suddenly, I saw a branch of Wei soldiers killed, and the horse looked forward, it was Sima Yi. Ma Chao shouted: "Sima Yi look at the gun!" With that, he stabbed at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi is not Ma Chao's opponent, but Cao Chun and Zhou Tai's martial arts are not weak, and the two generals shouted: "Ma Chaoxiu is going to be rampant!" "Let's go forward together.

Although Ma Chao's opponent and two generals are not left behind, the number of soldiers under his command is not as good as Sima Yi. Sima Yi saw that Cao Chun and Zhou Tai could not fight for a long time, so he drove his troops forward to besiege Ma Chao. Seeing this, Ma Chao returned to the horse and left, and Sima Yi followed closely after him.
