On the second day, Yu Yi was about to deal with this matter in the court, but the soldiers came to report that someone had seen Qin Xiang turn into a wisp of black smoke and disappear from the prison window. The ministers were very surprised after hearing this.
I rushed to the prison together. I saw that as the prison guards said, only Qin Xiang's clothes were left in the prison, and everything else was the same. The ministers' faces became abnormal and they began to discuss. Some people thought they had violated the gods and committed crimes.
After the taboo, some people think that Qin Xiang was a demon who had been lurking in Western Shu. Now that the black smoke has dissipated, Western Shu is about to face a disaster. Yu Yi was very angry after hearing this and scolded him loudly. The scene finally became quiet.
Yu Yi quietly walked to Qin Xiang's clothes and took out the Fangtian Snake Squid. You should know that the Snake Sword itself is contaminated with fairy energy and is not a thing in the world. After the merger of Fangtian Painted Squid, one yin and one yang, combined with their respective characteristics.
When Fang Tian Snake Sphur removed his clothes, he clearly saw a light flashing. Yu Yi retreated and thought to himself: "Sure enough, there are some problems."
Only Yu Yi could see this light, which was not visible to other ministers. After reaching the conclusion, Yu Yi stood up and said to everyone: "This matter is very strange. Do you know any strange people?
You can summon it to see it."
Deng Zhi came out and suggested: "In the past, the late emperor invited Taoist priests from Qingchengshan to predict the good and bad luck of the war with the Eastern Wu, and the results came true one by one, and Your Majesty can follow his example."
After hearing this, Yu Yi nodded and said, "Since that's the case, go find him."
After Yu Yi returned to the mansion, Kong Ming came to visit. It turned out that he was preparing to attack the Central Plains again. Yu Yi immediately agreed to Kong Ming's request. It turned out that Kong Ming had been thinking about how to open up the situation this time in the mansion. He was afraid of Chen Cang.
The place still couldn't be taken down, so I sent someone to inquire. As a result, I came back to report and said: "Hao Zhao in Chen Cang City is already very ill!"
Kong Ming was very happy and said with a smile: "The big thing can be accomplished!" So he called out Wei Yan and Jiang Wei, and said: "You two each brought 5,000 elite soldiers to Chencang City overnight. When you see the flames, you can attack together.
city."
Neither of them believed it very much, and came back and said, "Is there a deadline?"
Kong Ming smiled and said, "You must be prepared within three days, and you are not allowed to refuse. You can set off now!"
The two looked at each other and left according to their own plan. When Kong Ming saw the two left, he called Guan Xing and Zhang Bao again, explained the plan, and the two left too.
Guo Huai heard that Hao Zhao was seriously ill, so he discussed with Zhang He and said, "Hao Zhao is already very ill. You can go and replace him quickly. I will write a letter of writing to declare the court and make a decision." So
Zhang He brought three thousand soldiers to replace Hao Zhao.
After the Shu army received the news that he was seriously ill, it was very fast. Hao Zhao was in bed and was soon killed. Suddenly, he heard that the soldiers came to report that the Shu army had already arrived at the city. He hurriedly sent people to guard the city wall.
A fire broke out in the gate and the city was in chaos. After hearing this, his emotions became more unstable. Finally, his illness relapsed and he was hopeless. He died on the spot, and the Shu army also took advantage of the chaos to attack the city.
It turned out that when Wei Yan and Jiang Wei arrived at the bottom of Chencang City, they did not see any signs and there was no one to fight. The two felt very strange and dared not attack the city. Suddenly, they heard a cannon sound on the city.
The flags on all sides were raised, and a man saw a man with a feather fan, a crane cloak, and a Taoist robe, shouting at the bottom of the city wall: "You are late!"
When the two saw that the man was Kong Ming, they quickly dismounted, bowed to the ground, and said, "The Prime Minister is really a god!"
Kong Ming smiled and said, "I found out that Hao Zhao was seriously ill. I ordered you to lead troops to attack the city within three days. This is to stabilize everyone's mood. I asked Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to go to the army and leave Hanzhong secretly.
I hid in the army and rushed to Chen Cang overnight, so that they did not mobilize their troops. I sent our miniature works to set fire in the city and shouted for help, which made the Wei army surprised that it was difficult to arrive. Their chief general was seriously ill and could not command. Naturally,
The city is in chaos, and I will take it again, it will be easy to get it back. The military strategy is to say that it is unexpected and attack it is unprepared. This is the reason.”
Wei Yan and Jiang Wei taught another lesson. After Chen Cang took it, a soldier presented Hao Zhao's body. Kong Ming felt that this opponent was worthy of respect and asked his wife Lao Xiao to return to Wei State with the body to express his
loyalty.
Kong Ming said to Wei Yan, Jiang Wei: "Don't rest for the first time. You can take your troops to attack Sanguan. Those who guard the pass know that our Shu army has arrived will definitely flee without a fight. If you wait for a long time, Wei State
When reinforcements come, it will be difficult to capture."
After hearing this, the two of them came to Sanguan with their troops. The people guarding the pass really fled. They arrived at the pass and were about to rest. Suddenly, they saw the dust blowing outside the pass. They knew that it was Wei's army coming, so they looked at each other.
At first glance, he said, "The Prime Minister is really a magical plan!"
So he climbed up the city tower and saw that it was Wei general Zhang He who divided his troops to guard the key points. Zhang He saw that the Shu army was guarding the vital road, so he asked him to retreat. Wei Yan then chased after him for a while, and the Wei army was killed and injured. Zhang He was a big deal.
After losing, Wei Yan returned to the cusp and asked someone to report the situation of the battle to Kong Ming.
Kong Ming took his troops out of Chencangxigu and took Jianwei. Later, the Shu army set out one after another. General Chen Shi asked Yuyi to report and said that he wanted to participate in the Northern Expedition. Yuyi waved his pen and asked him to help Kong Ming.
Kong Ming brought his troops back out of Qishan and set up camp. Kong Ming gathered everyone and said, "I went to Qishan twice, but I didn't get any advantage. Now I'm here again. I guess the people of Wei will definitely fight me according to the previous methods.
, They will definitely attack our two cities in Yong and Ji, and must send troops to guard it. I see that Yinping and Wudu counties are connected with Hanzhong. If you get this city, you can separate the defensive formation of the Wei army. Who dares to do this?
thing?"
Jiang Wei and Wang Ping expressed their intention to do it one after another. Kong Ming was very happy, so he sent Jiang Wei to lead 10,000 troops to take Wudu, and Wang Ping led 10,000 troops to take Yinping. The two left with their troops.
Besides, Zhang He returned to Chang'an and met Guo Huai and Sun Li, saying, "Chen Cang City has been lost, Hao Zhao died of illness, and Sanguan has also been taken away by the Shu army. Now Kong Ming has left Qishan again and marched in different ways.
.”
Guo Huai was very surprised and said, "If this is the case, they will definitely attack the two counties of Yong and Ji." So he sent Zhang He to guard Chang'an and Sun Li to protect Yongcheng. He took his troops to defend Yucheng. At the same time, he was also in charge of the battle.
Tell the court that the front line is urgent.
Cao Rui, a military officer of Wei, came to report to the court, and said, "Chen Cang City has been lost, Hao Zhao died of illness, Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan again, and Sanguan was also seized."
Cao Rui was very surprised. Suddenly, Man Chong wrote a letter to report, which was: Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu had already proclaimed himself emperor and consolidated his alliance with Shu Kingdom. Now he sent Lu Xun to train his troops in the martial arts field. He waited for the call. It was all the time and he would definitely invade.
.
When Cao Rui heard that both places were very urgent, he panicked. At that time, Cao Zhen was sick and could only call Sima Yi. He replied: "I think the Eastern Wu will not attack this time."
