Chapter 90: Wang Lang's funeral

Later, Cao Zhen consulted with Guo Huai, the deputy governor, to improve the plan one by one.

It was decided to divide the troops into four routes: two soldiers from the mountain and remote roads, taking advantage of the void to rob Shu Village; The two soldiers lay ambush outside the village and hit it left and right.

In this way, even if you can't completely destroy the Shu army, you can win a big victory if you get one of the two roads.

After agreeing on the strategy, Cao Zhen seized the time again and uncharacteristically manipulated Wang Lang's funeral.

I'm afraid that my old bean will die, and I haven't been so careful.

The whole army was dressed in plain clothes, wearing white sails, and I didn't know where to get a purple wooden coffin, and eight people carried it.

He also ordered all the generals to take turns to carry the coffin.

For a time, it became known to the whole army.

Naturally, it was also discovered by the spies of the Shu army.

Soon, the news in the Wei army camp reached Zhuge Liang's ears.

If something is abnormal, it will be a demon.

Zhuge Liang discussed with Ma Jian for a while, and felt a strong smell of conspiracy.

With such fanfare, telling the other party that your military division is hanging, is going to be funeral, and the morale is low and the army is unstable, wouldn't it attract people to attack?

It's like the young lady who is dressed in fancy clothes, who doesn't see anyone during the day, and then comes out one after another at night, leaning against the mouth of the hidden alley.

Whenever someone passed by, they would wave their hands and cheer, "Boss, come in and play!" ”

Isn't that welcoming people to rob the camp?

Zhuge Liang summoned Jiang Wei again and asked, "Boyo, you are a local and familiar with the terrain here, if the Wei army wants to ambush near the camp, where do you think it is appropriate?" ”

Jiang Wei immediately pointed out several key points.

Then Zhuge Liang sent spies and summoned all the generals to enter the account.

"Zilong and Wenchang listen to the order, I order the two of you to lead the people of your headquarters to rob the Wei camp."

After Zhao Yun got the order, he did not doubt that Zhuge Liang had him, and quietly stepped aside.

Wei Yan asked with a puzzled face: "Prime Minister, then Cao Zhen knows the art of war, and he must have expected that our army would take advantage of the funeral to rob the village, how could he not be vigilant?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "I was trying to let him know that I was going to rob his camp, he must have an ambush behind Qishan, and when our soldiers passed, they would attack my village." ”

"Therefore, I will let the two of you lead the troops forward, find a secluded place to set up camp after crossing the foot of the mountain, and let the Wei soldiers come to rob my village.

Wei Yan solved his doubts, retired with Zhao Yunqi, and led their troops separately.

Zhuge Liang called Guan Xing and Zhang Bao again, and instructed: "You two each lead an army, ambush on both sides of the Qishan road, let go of the Wei soldiers, but from the way the Wei soldiers came, kill and go to Wei Village." ”

"No!"

The two didn't say much, and led the troops directly.

In the big tent, the remaining generals all looked at Zhuge Liang expectantly, for fear of missing this opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Zhuge Liang's gaze swept over the faces of the generals, and finally fell on the following four people.

"Deshan (Ma Dai character), Zijun (Wang Pingzi character), Wenwu (Cao Jun character), Yuan Jian (Liao Hua character), the four of you each led the troops to ambush outside the village, and met the Wei soldiers on all sides."

"No!"

In the end, only the general Jiang Wei was left without an order.

Because he is a new general, his identity is sensitive, and he is not in a hurry, but he just accompanies Zhuge Liang and Ma Jian to stand in the camp tent, waiting for the news from all sides.

After Cao Jun received the military order, he returned to the camp and ordered more than 50 soldiers who had accompanied him to transport food as his personal soldiers, and then went to get 1,000 sergeants and ambushed them in a corner of the camp according to the plan.

When the third watch was over, he saw the fire in the village, led the soldiers to kill, and suddenly surrounded the Wei army in the village like dumplings.

The two members of the army, General Wei, also knew the plan, and fled with their horses.

One was stopped by Wang Ping, while the other fled in the direction of Cao Jun.

Cao Jun also knew that the opportunity for meritorious service was fleeting, and he slapped the horse to hide in the dark, rushed forward without saying a word, and when he got close, he dropped the Wei general off the horse with a shot, and his own soldiers behind him went down to tie up the Wei general.

The Wei army was rushed and killed in the wall, and less than half of them escaped.

Wei Yan and Zhao Yun, who were driven back again, led the troops to rush and kill for a while.

After a series of defeats and retreated for more than ten miles, many people were killed and surrendered along the way.

The Shu army rushed and killed for a while, and only then did Mingjin withdraw his troops.

This battle ended with Zhuge Liang using his soldiers like a god to win a big victory.

When Cao Zhen and Guo Huai cleaned up the defeated army and returned to the camp, they found that the ten pavilions were missing five pavilions.

The two of them got together, both of them were not fully armoured, and sighed.

Before Wang Lang's funeral, it was a fake funeral.

Now, it's really mourning.

Cao Zhenru was injured, and after sighing a few times, he suddenly hit his head against the trunk of the dead tree on the side, "This big defeat, Your Majesty will not go around me." ”

It was only at this moment that Cao Zhenxin began to cherish the finger-pointing military advisor Wang Lang.

At least, I can let him shake the pot!

Guo Huai on the side hurriedly grabbed Cao Zhen and persuaded: "Governor, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, for the sake of today's plan, let Your Majesty send reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise, this Qishan camp will not be able to hold for long." ”

However, it was said that Cao Rui, the lord of Wei, also lamented again and again after receiving Cao Zhen's letter of request for help in the rear.

"Cao Zhen mistakenly fell into Zhuge Liang's treacherous scheme, lost more than half of the soldiers and horses, sent a letter to beg for help, and what is even more infuriating is that Wang Lang was trampled to death by the horse's hooves in front of the battle, and now, our army is defeated like a mountain, and the government and the opposition are wailing, Old Lady Zhong, now the moment, what do you say I should do?"

Old lady Zhong suddenly bowed down and risked his life to suggest: "The old minister is brave, and he is willing to protect one person from His Majesty with the life of his whole family, if His Majesty can use this person, then Zhuge Liang will be defeated." ”

Wei Lord Cao Rui was first happy, then worried, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

"This person is the elder of the three dynasties of the Great Wei Dynasty, Zhuge Liang is not afraid of Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, he is only afraid of this person, for this reason, he spread rumors, resorted to counter-plots, and wanted to put him to death, after that, Zhuge Liang can go straight in."

Wei Lord Cao Rui also came back to his senses and asked, "You mean...... Sima Yi? ”

Soon after, Cao Rui immediately issued an edict, sent the ruler, restored Sima Yi's official position (hussar general), and added him as the governor of Pingxi, commanding all the soldiers and horses in the Central Plains, and raising an army to meet the enemy.

Just when Sima Yi was about to make a comeback, Li Yan, the great Han Shangshu, also sent his son Li Feng to send a letter to Zhuge Liang on the front line.

After reading the letter, I was overjoyed.

The other people in the account laughed and said: "But it is a great joy, Meng Da, who led 120,000 troops in Xincheng, was persuaded by Li Yan to surrender, and wanted to make an appointment with me to take Luoyang directly." ”

Cao Jun's heart jumped, and after everyone left, he asked Zhuge Liang alone: "The prime minister is like a god, do you know who Cao Rui will send to the front line to lead the army after Cao Zhen's defeat?" ”

Zhuge Liang has always been impressed by Cao Jun, and after thinking about it, he replied: "I'm afraid that Sima Yi is going to be reinstated." ”

Cao Jun asked again: "Meng Da wants to rebel, this is a big deal, he is in Cao Ying's heart in Han at the moment, but the people around him are not, they must be heart to Cao Wei, if Meng Da accidentally leaks the news and is told to Sima Yi by the people around him, can the prime minister know what will happen to Meng Da?" ”
