"Hao Shao is really a good guard." Although Zhao Yun was unwilling, he also understood that he couldn't do anything, so he had no choice but to quit.

Back in the camp, Xun Fang said, "It's better to let Shi Ping dig a tunnel to lead to the city, and the inside should be combined with the outside."

Mei Changsheng shook his head and said, "Since Hao Shao can destroy the rushing car, he must also have some ability, if he digs a horizontal ditch in the city, we will waste time and manpower, not to mention that most of the rocks here are made, how easy is it to dig a hole in the ground?"

Zhao Guang scratched his head and said, "Is there no way?"

Mei Changsheng thought for a while and said, "In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao used throwing stones to attack Yuan Shao's ping camp, and Yuan Shao was also helpless, so this method is not as good as trying."

Zhao Yun frowned when he heard this, "It's a great plan to benefit, but it's a pity that the catapult was brought by the end of the catapult, and it can't be made in time."

Guan Suo suddenly shouted, "Didn't that Ma Jun improve some trebuchet in Chengdu?" The eldest brother went to urge him every day before he set out on the expedition, can he come in handy?"

Mei Changsheng nodded, "The trebuchet built by Ma Jun is more powerful than the previous trebuchet, and the distance is also farther."

Zhao Yunxi said, "Since you have this good thing, why don't you take it out and use it?"

Mei Changsheng said, "Although the trebuchet was built, it was too large to be transported, and when we left Chengdu, Ma Jun was trying to make it possible to disassemble it at any time, but it was still unsuccessful."

Zhao Yun sighed and said, "Since this is the case, it is also far away that the water can't save the near fire."

Mei Changsheng said with a smile, "I knew that it would definitely be useful for catapults to attack the city, so I also prepared a trick and asked Ma Jun to draw a sketch to bring it."

Zhao Yun stroked his palms and laughed when he heard this, "I'll just say that Xiaoyi won't talk about this matter for no reason, since that's the case, let's find some craftsmen to come and make it overnight."

Mei Changsheng nodded and said, "All the soldiers who have worked as craftsmen in the general are gathered together, and strive to make five trebuchets within ten days."

Seeing that everyone finally had a siege method, they all went to the headquarters to select men, and Zhao Yun was responsible for arranging defensive measures in case Hao Shao came to rob the camp.

******

In the middle of the army, Zhuge Liang was leading the army forward, and suddenly a meteor flew to report, Cao Rong worshiped Cao Zhen as the general of the expedition to the west, and the vanguard troops had come to meet the enemy.

Zhuge Liang ordered the scouts to continue to investigate the news, let the table tennis horses reach the west of Weishui, and ordered the table tennis to follow the Weishui village.

In the evening, the scout reported again, Cao Zhen led a total of 200,000 Ping An to Chang'an, and Sima Yi was also reinstated, but he led Ping Ping to Yangzhou to guard against Eastern Wu.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "Sima Zhongda can't come, my defeat of Cao Xiaodan is like child's play, and it is not far from Chang'an."

Jiang Wei said, "Cao Zhen once accompanied Cao Cao to fight in the north and south, rarely defeated, and has the ability to lead the table tennis, and the prime minister cannot be underestimated."

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said with a faint smile, "Cao Zhen was able to win battles before, but the one who fought was Cao Cao's old scheming, and now the military master Wang Lang is just a dry bone in the grave, Cao Cao is not there, what a good way for Cao Zhen!"

Jiang Wei nodded yes, and said, "I heard that Wei Ping still has a deployment in Chencang Road to stop the Ping Pong in the Xiegu Valley, this is the way to prevent me from transporting grain, I don't understand whether General Zhao's people can take it smoothly."

Zhang Bao laughed when he heard this, "Boyo, you can rest assured, my eldest brother is scheming, and it is impossible to guard against it, a small mountain pass, it should not be difficult for him."

Jiang Wei was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand whether Zhang Bao was praising Mei Changsheng or scolding Mei Changsheng, this trick was too tricky, and it didn't seem to be right!

Zhuge Liang didn't seem to care about Zhang Bao's statement, but nodded and smiled, "Exactly, there are no surprises in the army, but Chen Cangdao is placed by Sima Yi, and he is afraid that it will be easy to attack and difficult to defend." While they were discussing, Tanma came to report again, "Cao Zhen has ordered Cao Zun and Zhu Zan to be the vanguards, and they have arrived at Weishui Village."

Frustration vanguard

Jiang Wei Bijing was the first battle, a little excited, and said, "If Cao Zhen's army can be quickly repulsed, Cao Rong will not be able to react, and if he wants to save Chang'an, it will be a little late."

As soon as he finished speaking, another whistle horse came to report, "Cao Zhen ordered Wei to lead Wang Shuang to lead 3,000 table tennis from the valley."

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that those people of Xiaolong are already attacking Chencang Dao, and no matter how many reinforcements he sends, as long as we take the east of Weishui and the right side of the wind, then the defenders of Chencang Dao will be isolated and helpless, and they will retreat without a fight."

Jiang Wei hugged his fists and said, "I don't want to take the lead!"

"This time out of table tennis, I am the pioneer, you can't grab my position."

Zhang Bao - I was anxious when I heard it, I was listening to those people discussing the matter of Chen Cangdao just now, why was he suddenly robbed of the pioneer position.

Zhuge Liang smiled, "Okay, let's take the two of you as the vanguard and defeat the Wei army's sharp spirit first."

The two were overjoyed, and each took 5,000 ping horses out of the village to meet the enemy.

Cao Zun since the war, often as a grain transport officer, always feel that his ability has not been brought into play, this time fortunately his brother was promoted to the pioneer position, naturally want to prove himself hard, Ping Pong Ma only arrived to go to the battle.

No—when Shu Ping Pong was in array, Zhu Zan saw that the Shu army was neatly lined up, with distinct armor, and said in a low voice, "Shu Ping Pong is waiting for work, it is better to defend first, rest and recuperate—say, when the army of the Governor arrives, it will be too late to fight."

Cao Zun waved his hand and said, "Our army is new, and its vigor is flourishing, how can we slack off our military spirit, Guan Yu in the Shu army is far away in Jingzhou, Zhao Yun is trapped in the valley, Ma Chao is ill, and there are no available people, just let those people understand the prestige of our Central Plains army."

As he spoke, he saw the other party walking out of the formation, and the big horse under his crotch was very envious.

The little general had a silver helmet and green armor, a lofty atmosphere, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, deep eyes, holding a spear and shouting, "Under Jiang Wei, who is the one who scolds and fights?"

Cao Zun didn't know Jiang Wei, but when he saw that he was a junior general, he was secretly happy in his heart, so he wanted to make meritorious contributions, and he didn't discuss with Zhu Zan, so he raised his gun and said, "Partial country general, do you know my Wei Guotianwei?"

Jiang Wei's eyelids lifted slightly, glanced at Cao Zun, shook his head slightly, and spit out two words lightly, "I don't know."

Cao Zun didn't expect Jiang Wei to reply like this, and suddenly his anger froze, and he shouted—Jiang Wei's eyes were slightly cold, and he lightly knocked his crotch mount, and the war horse neighed and galloped out.

Cao Zun's marksmanship came from Cao Zhen's guidance, full of confidence, naturally he didn't put Jiang Wei in his eyes, he wanted to - Zhan Liwei, - came up is a sharp gun move, Jiang Wei saw Cao Zun's rapid momentum, he didn't want to fight with him, and took the horse short body to shine.

Cao Zun thought that Jiang Wei was timid, and he was even more proud, and when he turned the war horse, he turned back and swept the gun, wanting to knock Jiang Wei off the horse.

Jiang Wei saw that Cao Zun had the intention of despising the enemy, and he already had an idea, this was a special battle after his surrender, of course, he also hoped to be able to make meritorious contributions, and he tried it just now, and he saw that Cao Zun was not an opponent.

The corners of his mouth pursed—a sneer, and he secretly struck in his hand to meet Cao Zun's gun, and the steel spear instantly seemed to have life—like a red tassel trembling and stabbing at Cao Zun.

Dangdang!

In the light sound, the smugness on Cao Zun's face instantly turned into shock, but he didn't expect Jiang Wei not only to dissolve his move, but also the tip of the spear to stab his own mouth, eagerly leaning back on the back of the horse to make this move.

But he didn't expect Jiang Wei to have a back move, murderous aura burst out in his eyes, his right hand pressed down hard, and the tip of the gun popped into Cao Zun's lower abdomen, and blood rose to the sky, and Cao Zun also fell off the horse.

Zhuge Liang saw that Jiang Wei had won, and immediately ordered people to attack with drums, and Zhang Bao led the ping pong to kill.

Seeing that the main general of the Wei army was killed, the army was in turmoil, although Zhu Zan tried his best to command, but could not form an effective block, still in a panic, Zhang Bao's cavalry had already rushed to it, from which it was cut into two sections.

Zhang Bao saw Jiang Wei beheading Cao Zun, not to be outdone, urging the sweat and blood treasure horse, catching up with Zhu Zan in the blink of an eye, - the gun was picked under the horse, Wei Ping was even more defeated, scattered and fled, - 10,000 Ping Pong horses surrendered to countless people.

Cao Zhen led the army to rush, and suddenly heard that Zhuge Liang had defeated the forward troops, crossed the Wei River and set up camp, Cao Zun and Zhu Zan were killed, and immediately became furious, and ordered Zhang Jaw to be the vanguard, urging the soldiers to speed up their advance, and to fight to the death with Shu Ping.

Zhang Jaw led the table tennis horse to arrive, and seeing that Shu Ping was prepared, he had to order the soldiers to line up the formation, and then come to fight.

When Zhuge Liang heard the report, he frowned and said, "Zhang Jaw is the general in Cao Ying, and now General Xiaolong is not in the army, I am afraid that no one can defeat him."

Zhang Bao came out and said, "Why does the prime minister have to be ambitious and not willing to take the lead."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "Jiye has Meng Qi's guidance, and my heart is at peace."
