Cao Shuang's 20,000 Yulinwei elite cavalry, all cavalry, set up a big formation under Chang'an City, except for a few soldiers in charge of the baggage carriage did not go to the battlefield, the rest of the Yulinwei were pulled out.

Outside Chang'an City, 20,000 cavalry put on a huge formation, which made Cao Shuang, who lived in the Chinese army, feel arrogant.

When Jiang Wei and the generals of the Han army in Chang'an City heard that Cao Shuang only brought 20,000 people, they dared to call for battle outside the city, and they couldn't help but smile with caring for the mentally retarded.

Where can he Yaoge stand this, he patted his chest and asked Jiang Wei to fight: "Metropolitan Governor, let me lead 20,000 Qiang cavalry elites to fight, and I will definitely beat that Cao Shuang, who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”

Liu Bao also said: "Governor, that Cao Shuang is so rampant, we have to frustrate his sharpness, so that he knows that the prestige of the Han army is not blown!" ”

Zhang Yi, Fu Yi, Jiang Shu and other generals all expressed their willingness to fight and meet Cao Shuang for a while.

But Jiang Wei smiled and said to everyone: "All the generals are willing to fight Cao Shuang, it can be seen that all the generals are good and courageous, but Cao Shuang is Cao Rong's henchman. Such people should be dealt with with with arrogance. ”

"A plan for arrogance?!" Xiao Zhuge asked curiously.

Jiang Wei explained: "If what this governor has heard is true, then people like Cao Shuang, the more they are used in Cao Wei, the more destructive they will be to Cao Wei, not only do we not need to suppress his prestige, but also fuel his arrogance, making him more and more arrogant, thinking that he is really powerful." ”

Wang Ping said: "Dudu, but the 20,000 Wei troops are arrayed outside Chang'an City, is it possible that we just let them line up outside the city and call for formation, but our 100,000 troops can only stay in Chang'an City and remain indifferent?" ”

Jiang Wei shook his head and said: "Of course this can't be done, since our army wants to use arrogant tactics, it is natural to fight." not only has to fight, but also has to fight many times, constantly fueling Cao Shuang's arrogance. ”

Wang Ping asked curiously: "Isn't this the ambition of others to destroy their own prestige?" ”

Jiang Wei said: "The soldiers are treacherous, and sometimes showing the enemy to be weak is also a kind of retreat. As long as Cao Ei believes that Cao Shuang is really capable of dealing with us, then when Sima Yi comes in the future, Cao Ei will try to pursue a balance, so that Cao Ei will not give Sima Yi so much military power, and we will face less pressure on Sima Yi. ”

Xiao Zhuge suddenly brightened his eyes, "It turns out that Brother Boyo's arrogant plan also included Sima Yi." ”

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Being a handsome person is like playing chess, naturally you have to take one step, look at three steps, and think about ten steps, if you don't have a strategy in mind, then how can you?" ”

Hearing Jiang Wei say this, all the generals looked at Jiang Wei with admiration, and felt that Jiang Wei was Zhuge Liang's descendant disciple, and he was deeply inherited by Zhuge Liang's strategic strategy.

Jiang Wei looked around at the crowd: "This governor asks you a question, are you willing to fight against Cao Shuang?" Or would you rather play against Sima Yi? ”

"I'm naturally more willing to fight Cao Shuang!" Zhang Yi replied briskly. The rest of the generals nodded their heads.

Jiang Wei said: "Okay, since all the generals are more willing to deal with Cao Shuang, then we have to pick up Cao Shuang now, and hold Cao Shuang higher than Cao Zhi and Xiahou Xuan." At this time, the governor will personally go down to cheer for Cao Shuang. ”

"Isn't it, Brother Boyo wants to do it himself?" Xiao Zhuge opened his mouth in surprise, because Jiang Wei now has a noble status, and it is not the first time that the Han army has praised the generals of the Wei army, but whether it is Cao Zhi or Xiahou Xuan, Jiang Wei has never ended up in person, so Xiao Zhuge is very shocked.

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Cao Shuang is different, Cao Shuang is definitely worthy of being praised by the governor himself!" ”

Immediately, Jiang Wei issued a combat mission, and arranged five generals, He Yaoge, Liu Bao, Zhang Yi, Jufu, and Jiang Bin, each with 10,000 soldiers and horses, to fight Cao Shuang for five consecutive days, and they were only defeated every day.

In the end, Jiang Wei will go down in person and go to meet Cao Shuang for a while.

So in the next five days, under Cao Shuang's call, every day the Han army would send an elite army out of the city to meet Cao Shuang, but every time Cao Shuang could easily repel the Han army.

This includes the elites of the Han army that Cao Shuang has seen many times in the war report, such as the Xiongnu archers who are good at riding and shooting, the Qiang cavalry who can shoot arrows from afar and fight closely, and the famous Baier Army, etc.

But no matter which soldiers and horses the Han army sent to fight, the result was the same, as long as Cao Shuang led the cavalry to charge, and within a moment of fighting, the Shu army would collapse and retreat to Chang'an.

Several times, Cao Shuang even almost chased the fleeing Shu army into Chang'an City. If it weren't for the fact that there were many crossbows in the Shu army on the head of the city, and the arrows were densely lost, Cao Shuang even felt in his heart that Chang'an City was already within reach.

"It is said that there are 120,000 troops in Chang'an City, but I didn't expect them to be a bunch of waste!"

After the victory on the fifth day, Cao Shuang said proudly to his staff He Yan.

He Yan said very cautiously: "The general can't be underestimated, then Jiang Wei hasn't fought yet!" ”

Cao Shuang said proudly: "What are you afraid of, I think the Shu army is just a group of waste, Guo Huai, Chen Tai, Deng Ai, Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Nan and the like, they are all not as good as waste, they always say that the Shu army can fight, in the eyes of this general, it is just a group of local chickens and dogs." ”

He Yan frowned, he always felt that the combat power of the Shu army should not be like this, if a person said that the Shu army was good at fighting, he might still lie, but all the generals who had been on the Yongliang battlefield said that the Shu army was good at fighting, then it was at least seven points true.

Moreover, there is one thing He Yan has never been able to understand, why the Shu army obviously has 120,000 troops in Chang'an, but only sends about 10,000 troops every time it goes to battle. Could it be that the Shu army is short of food? Or was the Shu army suffering too many casualties when attacking Chang'an, resulting in the inability to fight in an all-out way?

Before he figured out the real reason for this, He Yan was always worried that the Shu army would be so unbeaten, and there must be something strange in it.

Seeing that his core think-tank He Yan was always frowning, Cao Shuang smiled domineeringly: "Hey, you He Yan, you are always suspicious, I see, Jiang Wei will not be able to help but go out of the city to face the battle in person sooner or later, and then this general will definitely beat that Jiang Wei to the ground, and all your doubts will subside." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Shuang's army called for battle as usual, but this time, the three city gates and nine door openings at the east gate of Chang'an City were all opened, and thousands of troops poured out of the city, and the Shu army dispatched 40,000 troops in one go.

After lining up the formation outside the city, Jiang Wei and Wang Ping were in front of the big formation, and the banner of the word "Jiang" was waved in the wind.

He Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, in his opinion, Jiang Wei was serious this time, and he actually dispatched 40,000 troops in one go, and he could finally persuade Cao Shuang to retreat to Tongguan.

But just as he was about to speak, Cao Shuang drew his sword and shouted: "The elite knights of Yulinwei, taking advantage of Jiang Wei's unstable formation, formed a formation to charge, capture Jiang Wei alive, set foot in Chang'an, and attack!" ”

Immediately, the cavalry of the Wei army began to charge towards Jiang Wei's army.

The soldiers of the Shu army were still going out of the city in a steady stream, and the big array had not yet been arranged, and when they saw the Wei army Yulin guard cavalry charging forward, they immediately fell into chaos.

Jiang Wei shouted loudly in front of the battle, telling the soldiers not to panic and form a formation to defend against the enemy. Even with a scream in his throat, he couldn't stop the soldiers from retreating into the city.

Cao Shuang saw it very clearly, Jiang Wei found that after the Shu army retreated, he had no choice but to turn his horse's head and flee back to Chang'an City, Cao Shuang was overjoyed and shouted: "Jiang Wei is going to flee back to the city, hurry, catch up with them!" ”

The army charged one after another, but the Shu army fled very quickly, and before the Wei army rushed to a hundred steps below the city, they fled cleanly, and soon the nine gates of Chang'an City were slammed shut, and arrows began to shoot from the city wall.

Cao Shuang gave the order to collect the troops, and endless pride surged in his heart: "Hahahaha, Jiang Wei is just like this, he is not my Cao Shuang's defeated general!" ”
