Chapter 9 Arms and Troops

"Prime Minister, the forty chariots, two hundred flying ladders, three hundred artillery carts, and two thousand Shu chariots you want are all ready." Jiang Wei went straight into the handsome account.

Maybe it's really because of his temper, every time Kong Ming sees Jiang Wei, he feels like it from the bottom of his heart.

"Boyo, it's hard work this time. According to Boyo's opinion, can we break through Luoyang and wipe out the Kwantung Wei army? ”

"This time, Ji Han poured the strength of the whole country, with the momentum of thunder, and attacked Luoyang on three sides. Although Luoyang is also regarded as Cao Wei's accompanying capital, it has the lock of eight passes and is known as the iron beating, but after all, it has been tragically poisoned over the years, and it has been destroyed in the war, and it is not the same as it was at that time. Since the Weinan War, Cao Wei moved the capital to Yecheng because of the strength of Ji and Han, and Luoyang has no more prosperity than it used to be. The last general depends on the prime minister's thoughts, this time it is not whether he can be captured or not, but how to minimize the damage to Luoyang with the least loss. ”

Kong Ming laughed: "Those who know me, Boyo also." ”

Jiang Wei asked: "Prime Minister, I heard people say during the day that Sima Zhao is already in the army, and the Prime Minister is more allowed to move freely. ”

Kong Ming said with a smile: "This person is not suspicious, but a deception." During the day, I ordered him to scold in front of the battle to discourage Cao Wei, and he deceived me into not being in front of the battle, and openly shouted: 'My lord is wise, Cao Wei is faint, hypocritical, shameless, and observant to me, save his life, and if it is too late, the jade will be burned!' 'I didn't know that I had already arranged for a fine person to report him to me every word. Boyo, do you probably hear the truth in this? ”

Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This is the code word at the beginning of the next sentence, and the first words of the first, third, fifth, and seventh sentences are connected, which is the four words 'I fake surrender', it seems that he really thinks that Ji Han is gone." ”

Kong Ming smiled: "Exactly. ”

Jiang Wei said: "Otherwise." I'm going to debunk him, force him to write a letter to his father, trick Sima Yi out of the city, perhaps, give him fake news, and let him be a book thief Jiang Gan? ”

Kong Ming shook his head: "This person is no less smart than you, if you do this, I'm afraid it will backfire." If you expose him and force him to write letters, how do you know if there are any code words in the letters he writes? If you write a letter to me, and you don't start it with the word 'Beichen,' I know surely that it is not from you, and you know that his father has no such way? False news, he dared to take the risk and offered to walk in the camp, which was to test my trust in him. I'm afraid that he won't take the initiative to contact the city in a short period of time, otherwise, he won't underestimate me too much. Even if I didn't notice his secret words, how could I trust him so easily? Moreover, at the moment, I am better than Sima Yi. but to bully the weak, and not to do so. At the moment, I have five benefits, and he has five harms. I am entrusted by Your Majesty to command the army of the country. The land of Keyi County, this one is also profitable; And when Sima Yi was in danger, he led a group of men and horses to defend the helpless city, which was also a harm; I have the trust of His Majesty, I am courteous to the countrymen, I do the things of the Duke of Zhou, and I command all the armies. This two benefits also; And Ma Yi is in a place of suspicion, making the wisdom of one person, and unifying the mixed department, these two evils are also; Ji Han has been recuperating for several years, the soldiers are full of food, invincible, and the morale is high. Cao Wei was replaced by a new emperor. The Lord is suspicious. In the northeastern part of the river, it suffered several defeats in a row. The soldiers have no fighting spirit, and there will be few good talents, and these three evils are also; Ji Shuntian responded to the order, restored the old capital, the people's hearts are available, and the four benefits are also; Cao Wei persecuted the old lord and usurped the world, and the people were uneasy, and these four evils were also; Ji Han has Eastern Wu as a wing in the south, the Xiongnu in the north as a minions, and the South Barbarian and Xiqiang, all of which have aid soldiers, and the four frontiers are stable, and there are no worries about the five benefits; Cao Wei was attacked on all sides, with Eastern Wu in the south, Ji Han in the west, Xianbei in the north, Karasuma and Gongsun in the east. If there are these five advantages and five disadvantages, our army will win. Sima Yizhi is no less smart than me, but it's a pity that his father and son didn't get the position of you and me, and they couldn't show their talents, but they were tied up and restricted by you and me everywhere. I used to think that if I had changed places, I might not have been able to win. ”

Looking at Kong Ming's calm face and talking eloquently, Jiang Wei was relieved in his heart, knowing that Mr. had already made a decision to take Luoyang, so he listened to the following at the moment.

Kong Ming continued: "However, I look at the new emperor of Cao Wei, although he is young, he is also a wise lord, not to be underestimated, since he ascended to the pole, he has reused old ministers, is good at admonishment, does not lightly use punishment, and has won the hearts of the people. Therefore, I still want to separate Sima Yi and disagree with him, even if he can't surrender, he must be hit so that he can't raise his head. ”

Jiang Wei thought for a while: "The last general knows, so I will find a way to arrange for someone to release rumors, saying that Sima Yi is secretly negotiating peace with our army and wants to hand over Luoyang to us." ”

Kong Ming smiled: "The same strategy, it's boring to use it twice." This time, I played Sima Yi once, so that he couldn't cry. You're like this, you're ...... like this."

Jiang Wei nodded repeatedly.

。。。。。。。。。。

"Come and see, this is the latest siege truck, it seems to be called a dung truck." A gruff soldier screamed as he touched the huge vehicle.

"Get out, don't fucking talk nonsense, what a dung truck," a middle-aged soldier scolded with a smile, "This is called a car, with four big wheels, and the back of the car is made of a light giant rope, covered with rhino skin, which can hide ten people, used to transport soil to fill the moat, can go straight to the city, and can also dig the city wall, whether it is an arrow, a crossbow, a rolling log, a stone, or a torch, it can't hurt it, this is a baby, plus our Shu specialty short-handled iron hammer, what kind of city wall can't stop it, good guy, Now the confidence is enough, if it weren't for our prime minister, who would have been able to create such a sharp weapon. ”

"Wow, there are so many ground artillery trucks, crossbows, and flying ladders, we are well developed."

"Of course, our prime minister is a god who has come down to earth to protect our majesty from fighting the world, and now there is Sima Yi's good fruit to eat."

"I said that I didn't attack Cao Wei during this time, it turned out that the prime minister was preparing this kind of magic weapon, and with it, even if there were ten more Luoyang cities, they would be defeated."

"That's it, that's it." The soldiers roared.

In the distance, Sima Zhao walked slowly with his head down, telling jokes to the servant as he went, making the servant laugh.

Sima Zhao pretended to look at the sky, and found that the pretending to be stupid flashed from people's eyes.

Sure enough, there was not a single incompetent person in Ji Han's army.

Sima Zhao was a little flustered. I did it a few days ago. Is there really no problem?

。。。。。。。。。。

"Wow, no, that's Guan Xiaojunhou, he's back from Xiliang!" A sergeant shouted, "Guan Xiaojunhou's martial arts are no longer under the old monarch, it seems that even the young tiger Jiang can't beat him, this time he leads the army back, and the Wei army is out of play." ”

"Ahh Xiliang Iron Cavalry, is that General Ma Dai! Another sergeant exclaimed, "I know him, his marksmanship and archery skills are excellent, when he fought against General Wei, he once shot General Wei Yan in the arm with one arrow." ”

"In the past few days, reinforcements have been coming, and our men and horses are several times more than Cao Wei. Our army will win! ”

"Of course it's going to win. You don't know, why we didn't attack the city, it's not that we can't attack it, it's because we're afraid that Cao Wei will break through and escape. ”

"I see, I said why we can go down in one go. But instead of attacking the city, he bought people's hearts and let the people in Luoyang City go out of the city to fetch water and chop wood at will. ”

The servant beside Sima Zhao suddenly shouted: "Look, that's Lord Guan Ping." The person he was with was Lord Huang Quan Huang, and I had fed him horses. Sima Zhao was stunned for a moment, and saw a man in his thirties with a white face and short hair and a man in his forties wearing a golden helmet passing by surrounded by everyone.

Could it be that the Han army really increased its troops?

Or is it a trick to deceive yourself?

。。。。。。。。。。

Sima Zhao was a little uneasy.

Did the Han army really increase its troops? They didn't want the Western Regions and the Western Qiang Kingdom anymore, and actually got Huang Quan, Guan Ping and Ma Dai to Luoyang. If so, can Luoyang still hold on? With his father's ability, can he stop them? Should I find a way to report the news?

He came to the front line and secretly communicated with the city by scolding the formation. But he didn't dare to act easily, because he knew that Zhuge Kongming was not so easy to deceive. He even thought about whether he should create a few small misunderstandings to make the servants think that he was communicating with the city, and then report to Kong Ming, and when they came to check, he found that he was helping Ji Han wholeheartedly. So. Zhuge Liang will be more at ease with himself. This is precisely why he asked to be transferred around the battalion. What did I think, this turn. So many urgent military situations were discovered. What to do? What to do?

At this time, he received a message from Kong Ming looking for him.

"Pass on Sima Zhao." There was a burst of shouting in the handsome tent.

Sima Zhao calmed down and slowly approached the handsome tent. Kong Ming himself sat there reviewing the chapters, with only two guards guarding him. Sima Zhao knew that although Kong Ming didn't know martial arts, the guards around him were all brave men who had experienced a hundred battles, and every one of them was a general above the military marquis. However, even without these guards, Sima Zhao felt that he did not have the courage to deal with this seemingly weak and thin Zhuge Liang, who knew how many tricks and tricks he had that could easily take people's lives like a chain crossbow?

"See Prime Minister." Sima Zhao saluted honestly.

"That's it, sit down." Kong Ming didn't raise his head, and continued to write, "In the past few days, are you still used to living in the camp?" ”

"It's fine."

"No one is bullying you."

"Nope. In Ji Hanjun, the upper and lower are one, don't say that it is me, it is a Hu'er barbarian, and it is also regarded as one, how can you say that you are bullying? ”

"That's it. And when you walked through the camp these days, did you see anything? ”

Sima Zhao was drenched in cold sweat, and hurriedly left his seat: "The prime minister clearly sees that the villain did not dare to probe the military situation!" ”

"Get up, I'm not a tiger, I can't eat you. In vain, you are also behind the door, and you are cowardly like this. Since I let you walk in the camp, I will not fear that you will see you learn. My eight formations are not something that can be learned by looking at them a few times, and the ordnance of my land is not something that you will lose if you look at it a few times or tell your father. To tell you the truth, I wish you had surrendered, and that you were walking in my camp to find out about my military situation, so that you could tell your father the truth. ”

Sima Zhao couldn't stand on the ground and trembled: "Prime Minister, since the villain returned to Ji Han, he has been loyal and unswerving, and he is definitely not allowed to surrender." When the villain was in Chang'an, the errands assigned by His Majesty were all exhausted, and it was common for a few days to not sleep, and before the army, I came to the city in person, forgetting my life, and did not flinch in the face of my father. If you doubt me, then I am willing to kill myself to make my heart clear. ”

Kong Ming smiled, but his peaceful gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the mist of the sun, making Sima Zhao feel that he was standing naked in front of him, and there was no way to escape from Ben.

"Zishang, I didn't say that you were a fraud, what are you nervous about. However, I'm also telling the truth, I still admire your father, and I hope he can return to Ji Han, I really hope that. Of course, he may not agree, so please ask him to withdraw as soon as possible and leave Luoyang, otherwise, it will be difficult for him to leave. I'm going to send you to Luoyang and tell your father these words in person, do you dare to go? ”

"This ......"

"What? I said that for the sake of Ji Han, I was willing to commit suicide to show my heart, and I was afraid that you would be like this when you went into the city to deliver a letter? ”

"Okay, I'll go."

Kong Ming picked up a letter that had been written long ago from the case, and the guard took it and handed it to Sima Zhao: "This letter is handed over to your father by hand, and it must not be seen by others." Go, have a good meal, and remember, from tomorrow I will attack the city, whether your father surrenders or not, whether you come back or not. ”

Sima Zhao was shocked in his heart, and immediately had no choice but to set off and go to Luoyang.

After reporting his name under the city, under the strange gaze of the city gate guard, Sima Zhao was led to the Shuai Mansion.

After waiting for a while, Sima Yi raised his tent surrounded by all the generals, he snorted coldly, and looked around like an eagle. The generals with different expressions immediately became stern, and Sima Yi's decree was extremely strict, and he would kill if he said that he would kill, and there would never be any tolerance.

"Let the Han envoys from other places in Yuanmen report to the door!"

Sima Zhao was stunned, didn't his father understand what he scolded outside the city that day? Even if he really didn't understand, he shouldn't have humiliated his son like this. You must know that if he reports to the door, every shout is equivalent to spitting in Sima's ancestral hall.

However, he had no choice but to shout: "Sima Zhao, the envoy of Ji Han, the letter is submitted to the Wei State under the supervision of Sima Dadu." ”

While reporting like this, he walked in, although Sima Zhao was also considered to have been in battle for a long time, but his face was also red and his heart was beating. Sima Shi on the side lowered his head even more, and he didn't even have the courage to raise his head. Only Sima Yi, as if he was just a stranger who came in, didn't even move a wrinkle on his grim face.

After a long time, Sima Yi said: "The letter is submitted." ”
