Chapter 8: The Book of War
"Listen to the Shu army, most of my family governors have sent a battle table, and tomorrow will have a showdown with the south bank of Weishui."
A Wei scout, outside the camp of the Shu army, kept riding his horse back and forth and shouting.
At the order of Sima Yi, this scout came to deliver a war letter to Zhuge Liang.
But the scouts have been wandering outside the Shu army camp and have no intention of entering the Shu army camp.
After hearing the shouts of the scouts, the Shu army camp quickly ran out of the camp.
The face of the leader is like a heavy jujube, and there is a tooth flag behind him, and a big "Wei" character is written on it.
It was Wei Yan.
"Who are you? How dare you make a noise in front of my military camp? ”
"I am the envoy of the Wei State, and it is tolerable for you and other thieves to humiliate the governor of my family like this, but it is unbearable."
"On the orders of the governor of my family, I have come to give you a war letter."
"Tomorrow, on the south bank of Weishui, there will be a battle of life and death, and Wang'er and others will obediently come to die!"
After the envoy finished speaking, he took out the bamboo slip from his bosom, threw it to Wei Yan, and said:
"Give this to your prime minister."
Wei Yan took the book in his hand, and seeing that there was no trace of Liu Yu, he asked:
"What about the envoy who sent you to Wei Ying today?"
"I don't know!"
The envoy of the Wei army did not talk nonsense, and after the bamboo slips were handed over, they turned around and were about to leave.
"Stop!"
Wei Yan shouted, and was about to step forward to get someone, but unexpectedly, the Wei army envoy ran faster than a rabbit, and he couldn't catch up.
A stout man with a black face behind him arched his hand towards Wei Yan and said.
"General, it's better to quickly hand over this battle book to the prime minister, and let the prime minister make a quick decision."
Wei Yan's face was ugly, thinking of Wei Jun's reaction, he only felt that Liu Yu was more auspicious.
"Zijun, Dexing has not returned, I am very worried."
This person turned out to be Wang Ping, the future general of Shu Han, replacing the general of Zhenbei in Hanzhong, the governor of Wei Yandu, Wang Ping Prince Jun.
"General, the overall situation is important, and the prime minister is still waiting for Wei Jun's reply."
Wei Yan sighed, turned around and walked towards the camp, in comparison, the war letter in his hand was what the Shu army needed the most at present.
Zhuge Liang has been waiting anxiously in the big tent since Liu Yu left.
On the one hand, he was worried about whether Sima Yi would send troops, and on the other hand, he was worried about Liu Yu's safety.
After a short period of contact, Zhuge Liang thought that Liu Yu was a talent.
Today, when Shu Han is becoming more and more scarce, Zhuge Liang attaches great importance to the selection of talents, as long as there is a little talent, they will be promoted by Zhuge Liang.
Liao Hua, Wang Ping, and Zhang Wei were all from the bottom, but they were all unearthed by Zhuge Liang, and they were all the pillars of Shu Han in the future.
In Zhuge Liang's opinion, Liu Yuzhi's talent is not inferior to these people, and even surpasses them.
Zhuge Liang was restless, and after a long time, he also felt very tired, and he could clearly feel that his body was deteriorating rapidly.
He knew that his time might not be long, but even so, he still handled official affairs as usual every day, hoping to repay the kindness of the previous emperor.
At this moment, Wei Yan and Wang Ping hurriedly walked into the tent and shouted:
"Prime Minister, Sima Yi's old Wang Ba is going to send troops."
Zhuge Liang immediately felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he was no longer sleepy, and took the war book from Wei Yan's hand.
"Zhuge Villager, I have been humiliated many times, and this time I vow to be ashamed and punish you under the sword."
"I hope you will bathe and purify your words, and I will hunt Weinan!!"
Seeing Sima Yi's slightly insulting battle table, Zhuge Liang laughed happily and said with a smile:
"Haha... Ahem... Ha, yes, yes!! ”
"Sima Yi finally dared to come out."
"Immediately beat the drum and gather the generals, we have to arrange it as soon as possible, and tomorrow we will call that Sima Yi will not come back!"
"No!"
After Wang Ping answered, he turned around and left.
After Zhuge Liang waited for Wang Ping to leave, he seemed to have discovered something wrong, and asked out loud:
"Where is Dexing? Why didn't you see him go back to camp? ”
Wei Yan's face was ugly, and he didn't answer, but if he didn't speak, he was already the best answer.
Zhuge Liang thought of Liu Yu's decision when he left, and his heart was shocked.
Thinking that Sima Yi was determined to die with himself, how could he choose to send troops so angrily now, which must be Dexing's mediation.
Sima Yi's anger can be seen from the battle table, so what kind of situation will Dexing, who faces Sima Yi, face?
Even Zhuge Liang, who has Sima Yi's character, naturally knows how difficult it is to provoke Sima Yi to send troops, and he can also think about how much effort Liu Yu has made.
"Does Dexing have a wife and parents?"
Zhuge Liang thought that Liu Yu was dead and wanted to give Liu Yu's family some compensation.
Wei Yan shook his head, as his own general, Wei Yan naturally knew the bottom line about Liu Yu.
But it was because Liu Yu was alone that Wei Yan was even more uncomfortable.
Liu Yu was only about twenty years old, and he was going to die in Wei Ying because of the great cause of Shu Han.
Zhuge Liang sighed and didn't speak again, regretting that he had sent Liu Yu to Wei Ying to deliver the war book.
But if it weren't for Liu Yu to go, how could Sima Yi go to war?
A peck and a drink, its own fixed number.
The generals came one after another, and after hearing Sima Yi's battle book for a decisive battle, they were all gearing up.
These days, Sima Yi has been avoiding the war, and Zhuge Liang ordered all the soldiers to settle in the fields, causing them to become farmers soon.
Going out to fight, the time to farm the land is even longer than the time to go to the battlefield, I have to say, it is really a strange story through the ages.
Zhuge Liang reined in his mind, restored his old bamboo in his chest, shook the feather fan gently, and began to give orders:
"Where is Zhang Wei, Ma Zhong, and Meng Yan?"
"The subordinates are here!"
"Tomorrow Er and others will lead 10,000 tiger infantry troops, act as the vanguard, and march along the south bank of Weishui to meet the enemy."
"No!"
"Where is Zhang Yi Liaohua?"
"Humble duty!"
"You wait for the commander army of 30,000, followed by me, I will lead the Chinese army myself, and the distance between you and my army shall not exceed thirty miles."
"No!"
"Wu Yi led 5,000 cavalry for the left wing of our army, and Wang Ping led the Wudang Flying Army for the right wing of our army."
"The third watch starts to cook, the fifth watch pulls out the camp, and the enemy army will fight it out!!"
"No!"
The morale of the generals in the tent was greatly boosted, and they all bowed to Zhuge Liang, and their faces were flushed with excitement.
Only Wei Yan and Jiang Wei's faces were pale, because after listening to them, it seemed that there was no task for them at all.
"Prime Minister, you seem to have forgotten to arrange so-and-so!"
Wei Yanxin was arrogant, so he was naturally a little unconvinced, and asked out loud.
Jiang Wei also looked at Zhuge Liang, wanting to hear what Zhuge Liang meant?
"You two, I have another explanation, and I'll tell you later."
"Others can go down and prepare, this battle is crucial, and it will determine the ownership of Guanzhong."
"In order to revive the Han Dynasty, please be sure to work together to defeat the enemy, please!"
Zhuge Liang's expression was very solemn, and he even stood up in the end and bowed slightly to the generals.
"Prime Minister!"
"We dare not do our best to repay the prime minister?"
"Prime Minister rest assured, we will definitely move forward with our lives, do not break the enemy army, and swear not to turn back!"
