The Tang and Duan allied forces may never have dreamed that the creek next to the forest was ordered to be excavated when Zhuge Liang first came to the Jin Kingdom.

Yes, the creek is an artificial stream.

Zhuge Liang's approach was to lure the enemy into the forest under the scorching sun.

This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang has been defeated and retreated since he came to the Jin Kingdom, and the real purpose is actually here.

The timing was just right.

The scorching heat, the heat, and the lack of water were enough for the coalition forces to escape the heat and find water in the forest.

What if they don't go and set up camp in the forest?

Then it is more in line with Zhuge Liang's wishes, if they don't go, as long as they face the opportunity of lack of water, he will be sure to defeat them in one fell swoop.

What he said earlier was that the strength of our army was already superior to that of the coalition forces, but in fact it was a figurative metaphor.

In the scorching heat, the enemy soldiers threw off their armor and went naked, which could reach an army of 50,000.

Lack of water, so hot and no water to drink, isn't it fatal?

In this way, it can be worth 50,000 troops, right?

On top of such layers, there is the meaning of Zhuge Liang's sentence.

Now in the council hall, Zhuge Liang said to all the soldiers: "God help me and wait, in the middle of the night today, the wind suddenly rose, and in the dead of night, it was the time to break the enemy army!"

What is the most important thing about marching to war?

It is the right time and place, and among them, the most important is the time of the day, Zhuge Liang mastered the time, and the enemy army retreated to the forest, it is obvious that the Wei army is occupied by the right time and place, so how can it be invincible?

After the soldiers heard this, some people deduced from what the prime minister asked them to prepare, what kind of battle should be played.

It's the fire attack!

sub-hours.

There was a strong wind blowing.

The coalition forces set up camp here.

The Wei army sneaked up here, and countless rockets were fired in a volley, and then trebuchets were moved out of the city, projecting fierce fire oil into the forest.

With a two-pronged approach, all of a sudden, the entire forest began to catch fire.

The coalition battalion suffered greatly.

Over and over again, they shouted in the firelight that the enemy was attacking.

However, the merciless fire burned in the scorching heat.

Many of the soldiers of the coalition army were engulfed in flames.

It was a disastrous battle.

Many enemy soldiers were burned by the flames.

Since it was an enemy attack, the commanders of the two armies must organize a large army to resist.

But the fire was really too big, and it was a fire in the middle of the forest.

Knowing that the battle had been lost, the commanders of the two armies thought that they could reduce the casualties as much as possible, so they ordered their men to begin to retreat to the stream.

At this time, Zhuge Liang did a very unique thing, he ordered people to cut off the upstream source of the stream and copied their back road.

The entire coalition army, submerged in the fire, collapsed.

Zhuge Liang did not set off with the army to encircle and suppress the enemy army.

Instead, he and Cao Cao watched the fire rising in the distance at the top of the city.

They all know very well in their hearts that as long as this fire is together, it means that this war has been won.

Cao Cao looked at the fire in the distance, and seemed to have seen the scene of countless people dying in the sea of fire, and he said to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, this time, the younger generation has really learned. It turned out that the moment the prime minister entered the territory of the Jin Kingdom, he had already anticipated this scene, so as to lay out layers and hide from the sky and sea, this ability of unpredictable prophets is really extremely rare and admirable. ”

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "Virtuous nephew, have you learned?"

Cao Cao hugged his fists and said: "The younger generation has learned." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "War is like this, before the war, you have to think about how to fight this battle in order to win, but the first condition for victory is to make yourself invincible." ”

Cao Cao shook again and said, "Uncle, all the soldiers in my Wei army, in terms of the ability to march and fight, I'm afraid my uncle will bear the brunt." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Our army has always been Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and it should not be underestimated. For example, General Chen Qingzhi, who is now the king of Jin, will not lose to me in terms of combat ability. If I play against him, the victory is only five or five points. ”

Cao Cao was stunned.

He hadn't seen Chen Qingzhi, but he had heard a lot of his deeds.

Even when his father was chatting with him, he talked about Chen Qingzhi without hesitation.

It is said that among the Wei States, if you want to talk about who has the most ability to expand the territory, it should be Chen Qingzhi.

This person is good at training, good at lightning operations, and the white-robed army under his command is known as the first army in the world in the Wei Wu Dynasty, and the heavy armored iron cavalry that His Majesty relies on is called the Great Wei Twin Army by the world.

Such a peerless masterpiece, you really must know it, otherwise, it will be a pity.

After Zhuge Liang saw Cao Cao's expression, he smiled knowingly and said, "We people can only have today's achievements after meeting Your Majesty. Therefore, His Majesty is the most talented and capable person in the Great Wei Kingdom. Those who know people wisely and employ people like His Majesty are the only ones in the entire history. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but exclaim, "If this troubled world can't end up with Your Majesty, then there will be no one in the world who can be worthy of the position of the co-lord of heaven and earth." ”

Zhuge Liang thought so.

On July 21 of the first calendar of the Wei State, the Tang and Duan coalition forces were defeated outside the city of Huaiyang, with a total of about 300,000 casualties.

Yan Xing, the commander of Duanguo, led the remnants of the defeated army and ran away.

This battle is recorded in the history books as the 'Battle of Huaiyang'.

When Zhao Changqing received Zhuge Liang's military intelligence report, he was very happy, this battle was fought happily, and he deserved to be Zhuge Liang!

It's awesome!

A fire, 500,000 people were shattered, and 300,000 people were wiped out, which is even more powerful than nothing!

However, the difference is that the latter behavior will be more egregious.

In the Xuanzheng Palace.

Zhao Changqing asked Jia Xu: "You said, this Zhuge Liang is already a supreme minister, and if he goes further, he will be crowned king, and our Wei State already has a king with a different surname, this time, how should I reward him?"

After such a big victory, it stands to reason that it is necessary to be rewarded, but there is nothing to be done, what should I do?

Jia Xu was also deep in thought.

It's not that he hasn't thought of a way to deal with it, but it's better to be cautious when it comes to the prime minister.

Zhao Changqing saw Jia Xu's appearance, and said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Jia Xu frowned slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, there is no way to seal it, so it will not be sealed, if you really want to seal it, just say that Prime Minister Zhuge has worked hard for the country day and night, and his body and mind are already exhausted.

When Zhao Changqing heard this, he laughed and said, "What you say is reasonable, just do it!"

In this way, it not only suppressed the suspicion that Zhuge Liang might be a master, but also gave him an early warning.

The benefits of the details are countless.

What is Humu?

It's a holiday.

Won the battle, rewarded with a few days off?

It is estimated that only Zhao Changqing can do this.
