And when Wei Xiaoliang shined, it was on the occasion of the famous Three Kingdoms meeting in history, so he also left many popular legends for future generations.

It's just that due to the historical limitations at that time and the needs of some wars, he must always act as a behind-the-scenes hero, pay in obscurity, and even fail to leave a strong mark in the history books.

Later generations only know that Zhuge Liang is brilliant in history, standing on the altar of God, and has created many classic legends.

In fact, the power of one person is limited in the long river of history, and only the power of the people can be superimposed to push the wheel of history forward.

It is said that Zhuge Liang can have such glorious achievements in history, and he is naturally inseparable from the assistance of many capable people.

Among them was the first person in the army at the end of the Shu Han Dynasty - Wei Yan, the general of the expedition to the west.

There is also Wei Yan's deputy general who is unknown behind the scenes, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats with the mysterious "Divine Beast" legion—Wei Ting, that is, Wei Xiaoliang.

In the deeds of Zhuge Liang praised by later generations, there are many typical legendary stories, including allusions such as "Wooden Ox Flowing Horse" and "Seven Captures of Meng Huo".

However, in these legendary deeds, although Wei Zhenliang, the beast master, has made great contributions, he is unknown.

Of course, this is also related to the mysterious army he commanded, in the army at that time, perhaps out of jealousy, or perhaps simply as a joke, many people in the army called him a "pig and sheep feeder".

Although they were all in awe of the tremendous combat power of his mysterious troops, they despised such a force and such a leader from the bottom of their hearts.

Moreover, in order to achieve the effect of "secret trump card", this mysterious unit must also be secret, and in order to achieve a rare war effect, it must be impossible for the enemy to even "chase after the wind and catch shadows."

Therefore, Wei Ting, who is the deputy general of Wei Yan, the general of the expedition to the west, and his mysterious troops can only be deeply hidden behind the fame.

Even if someone inside knows a thing or two, it is just "feeding pigs and sheep".

And those who came in later generations, especially the politicians and literati who wrote and compiled history, will only put gold on the radiant Zhuge Liang, how can they add a touch to his "feeding pigs and sheep"?

Moreover, it is really difficult for them to know that in the history of the Three Kingdoms, there will be such a mysterious army and such a secret genius general.

However, although his nationality is unknown, in the war-torn era of the Three Kingdoms period, his mysterious and powerful "Divine Beast" legion made the enemy fearful, repeatedly performed miraculous feats, reversed the tide of many battles, and rewrote the history of many wars.

Let's say that the "wooden ox and flowing horse" that has been passed down for thousands of years has been passed down very magically, not only in all dynasties.

And just by virtue of this matter, Zhuge Liang, the wise man of the ages, simply surpassed Lu Ban, the originator of the craftsman, and it seems that in addition to occupying the altar of "the first wise man in ancient and modern times", there is a tendency to occupy the altar of "the first skilled craftsman in ancient and modern times".

It is known that more than 1700 years ago

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, invented the "Wooden Ox Flowing Horse", but what kind of thing is the "Wooden Ox Flowing Horse"?

For thousands of years, people have put forward a variety of opinions and debated endlessly.

Checking the history books, "Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Zhuge Liang" recorded: "Bright, sex is longer than ingenuity, profit and loss crossbows, wooden oxen and flowing horses, all out of their own minds."

"Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of the Later Lord" recorded: "In the ninth year of Jianxing, Liang returned to Qishan, transported it with wooden oxen, and retired from the army with all the grain; In the spring of the twelfth year, Liang learned that the public came out of the sloping valley to flow horses, according to the martial arts Wuzhang Yuan, and Sima Xuanwang for Weinan. ”

The above record clearly points out that the "Wooden Ox Flowing Horse" is indeed the invention of Zhuge Liang, and the "Wooden Ox Flowing Horse" are two different tools, from the chronological order of the use of the Wooden Ox Flowing Horse, there is "Wooden Cow" first, and then there is "Flowing Horse", and "Flowing Horse" is an improved version of "Wooden Cow".

Pei Songzhi, who annotated the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, quoted a passage about "wooden oxen and flowing horses" in the now lost "Zhuge Liang Collection".

The image of the "wooden cow" was depicted, and part of the size of the "flowing horse" was recorded, but because there were no physical objects and graphics preserved in later generations, the understanding of the wooden cow and flowing horse by later generations was always rare, and the clouds and mountains were covered with fog.

In Huangsha Town, Mian County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, historical records record that this is the place where Zhuge Liang made "wooden cattle and flowing horses".

According to research, Zhuge Liang used the "Wooden Ox Flowing Horse" a total of 3 times in the 8-year Northern Expedition, and the "Wooden Ox Flowing Horse" started from here, walked through the 250-kilometer plank road, and arrived at the front line Qishan Wuzhang Plain.

A local old man once described the legendary "Wooden Ox Flowing Horse": "The head of a horse made of wood, and then there are other scattered small pieces to form the body of the horse, and then the legs of the horse are assembled, and a gear is installed in the middle of the belly, and there is a wrench behind the wooden horse.

From this legend, it can be seen that the "wooden ox flowing horse" has gears, and it seems that the principle of leverage is also used.

But these are historical legends after all, and they can't really be studied.

And today, with the narration of Wei Baozhu, a pure, dusty girl without fireworks, everyone understands that although this "wooden ox and flowing horse" did indeed have the invention of this means of transportation at that time, its invention inspiration came from the "Divine Beast" legion led by Wei Xiaoliang, who was also Wei Yan's deputy general at that time.

And, more importantly, this so-called invention is nothing more than a "trick".

Its main purpose was to confuse the judgment of the enemy, thinking that the "wooden ox" and "flowing horse" were just means of transportation used by Zhuge Liang's army to transport grain and grass, so as to generate a desire to despise the enemy.

Of course, the "wooden ox and flowing horse" that is used to "fill the façade" cannot kill the enemy to win, but hides the real combat power behind it.

Those hidden behind the real combat power is the prototype of the creation of the "Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse", and only by having similar appearances can they be better camouflaged, confuse the public, and play a better paralyzing role.

Although it seems simple, as everyone knows, Cao Cao's army at that time, and later Sima Yi's army, were all blinded by this trick

, and suffered a big loss, and almost wiped out the whole army.

At that time, most of the hostile camps of the Shu Han army thought that the so-called "wooden ox flowing horse" invented by Zhuge Liang was nothing more than that the Shu road was too difficult to travel and it was not easy to transport grain and grass, so there was no way to invent a means of transportation instead of real cattle and horses - "wooden ox flowing horse".

It is precisely because of this miscalculation on the part of the enemy, with disdainful contempt, and with paralysis and laxity among the people, that it is too late to panic and confusion after discovering that something is wrong.

If we say that the "wooden oxen and flowing horses" that transport grain and grass are just a trick to cover and divert sight.

So, what does the real "wooden cow flowing horse" look like?

When Bai Yunfei asked this question on behalf of everyone, Wei Baozhu told a jaw-dropping secret:

The prototype creature of the "Wooden Cow" in "Wooden Cow Flowing Horse" is the "Sword Thorn Cow", a kind of wild bull that has been magically improved and mutated!

This kind of frightening strange cow is a secret recipe inherited by Wei Zhenliang's ancestors after domestication and years of cultivation, to improve and "upgrade" those wild wild cattle, and then through the endless changes of Wei Zhenliang, a strange beast control man, with strange methods and means, these wild wild cattle have become mutated "sword stabbing cows".

In addition to having sharp horns on their heads that are much longer than normal horns, they also have demonic blood-red eyes, and although they are not carnivores, they are extremely bloodthirsty.

What's even more terrifying is that the "Sword Thorn Bull" has a stegosaurus-like backspin, and the row of blade-like backspurs on their backs point straight to the sky, shining with a terrifying black light.

The two front legs of the Sword Piercing Bull also have two large thorns like single horns on their knees, pointing straight ahead, just like the two sharp horns on their heads when they charge down, sharp and terrifying, making the enemy see the color change.

The fur on the "Sword Thorn Cow" is sparse, and there are faint signs of long scales, but the body scales are not as obvious as those of fish, it should be that the improvement is not thorough, or considering their "heat dissipation" problem, Wei Xiaoliang did not develop their body surface in the direction of fish scales.

In fact, in addition to the invincible "sword stabbing bull" herd in the mysterious "divine beast" army of Wei Xiaoliang, in some ancient wars, there were also "bull running arrays" on the battlefield - using thousands of bulls to charge the enemy formation, so that the enemy formation was overwhelmed by the crazy rushing herd.

Then Wei Ting, who called himself the King of Wei and changed his name to Wei Zhenliang, as the deputy general of the general of the expedition to the west, the "Divine Beast" army under his command faced the Cao Wei army many times, as well as the Wei and Jin armies after Sima Yi took power.

When the number of these "sword stabbing bulls" with amazing combat effectiveness reaches a certain level, they are far more terrifying than those ordinary cattle in the "bull running array".

This is simply a "sword stabbing bull" that can only exist in myths and legends, and this certain number of "bull running arrays" composed of them is simply a nightmare for the enemy!

As Wei Baozhu spoke, Bai Yunfei and the other members of the "Eight Immortals" were already short of breath when they heard it, and just imagining that picture made people feel hot

The blood boiled, and it also made people shudder.

Bai Yunfei's mind appeared such a scene:

Hundreds of "sword stabbing oxen" lined up neatly, hidden behind the "wooden oxen" in front of the formation, disguised as "wooden oxen" transporting grain and grass, silently, only the thick snort erupted from the nostrils, like an air mass, almost visible.

Quietly waiting, the commander of the beast in the military formation suddenly put a strange thing shaped like a conch into his mouth, and on the wide battlefield, he suddenly heard a strange howling sound, and then this piercing strange howl kept repeating, piercing the eardrums, torturing the nerves, and making people crazy.

Those "sword stabbing bulls" who were hidden behind the "wooden cows" and were originally quietly arrayed, heard the whistling sound, suddenly felt like they had been spelled, lost their minds, and became irritable.

With the sound of the whistle, the already unruly "Sword Stabbing Bull", roaring, chaotic hooves and digging the ground, has completely entered a state of rage.

Suddenly, an even sharper roar was heard, and the cattle roared towards the enemy like a flood that burst its banks.

The "bull tide" like the raging waves, like the huge waves of the flood peak, like the hurricane rushing wildly, rushed towards the enemy with a momentum that ordinary military formations could not match at all.

Kicking up the dust that obscured the sky and the sun, carrying the momentum of ten thousand thunderbolts, rushed towards the enemy formation at a gallop.

Before rushing into the enemy camp, the enemy army formation was already in a panic, and then it weakened, and then exhausted, and it was impossible to stop its sharpness!

The "sword stabbing bull" group slammed into the reef like a furious wave, crashed into the enemy's vanguard, smashed the opponent's army formation to pieces, and quickly rushed into the enemy camp, stirring the cold pool into a boiling pot.

The enemy camp could not withstand the impact of this mutated monster-like herd at all, and the enemy military formation, which originally seemed to be regular, orderly, and well-groomed, was rushed up by the tide of hundreds of "swords and bulls", which was simply an overwhelming rout.

Rushing and roaring, flesh and blood flying, desperate rushing, panicking, throwing away armor, and crushing into an army...

And with the frantic charge of the "Sword Piercing Bull" herd, the place passed was already a mess, full of destruction and mess, like a hell on earth.

Don't say that you were killed by this terrifying bull, or the dust stirred up by the herd, which can choke people to death.

The tragedy is far more than that, those "lucky ones" who have just escaped from the sharp horns and iron hooves of the herd, who have escaped by luck, are howling miserably with missing arms and legs, and before they can come out of the shadow of fear, the "sword stabbing cattle" herd has turned back, like ploughing, turning this dead area upside down again.

In the smoke and roars, screams, and curses, countless flesh and blood bodies fell into the dust.

The tide of the war was reversed, the situation of the war changed drastically, and the history of the war was reversed in an instant.
