After Fei Yi returned, he reported the situation. Yu Yi felt a little more at ease and was about to summon everyone to discuss whether the troops from Jingzhou were raised, echoing the Northern Expedition, jointly attacking the Central Plains, and jointly seeking great causes! After Fei Yi left, Kong Ming
Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he sighed: "Now the first battle is not good, we have lost tens of thousands of troops. We cannot tell His Majesty this news, otherwise he will definitely worry about me and cancel this Northern Expedition."
My close confidants said: "Now I have gone out of Qishan six times, and inch of land is for the sake of taking. What should I do next?"
He replied: "I have a letter here. You happened to go for me and hand it over to Dongwu."
The confidant bowed and said, "Where should I refuse the Prime Minister's order? Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me!"
So Kong Ming handed the letter to his confidant, and he came to Jianye with the letter. When he met Emperor Wu, Sun Quan, he submitted Kong Ming's letter. Sun Quan took apart and saw the content: Unlucky Han Dynasty, Wang Gang was abnormal, Cao
The thief usurping the rebellion has continued to this day. I was entrusted by Emperor Zhaolie of Han and did not slacken. Now I go out to Qishan six times and station the Shu army there. The thief will die in the Wei River. I hope Your Majesty will care about the loyalty of our alliance.
, jointly attack the Central Plains and share the world equally. The content of the letter cannot express more meaning. I hope Your Majesty can adopt it.
So Sun Quan summoned Lu Xun and asked, "What does the Prime Minister of Shu directly write to me?"
Just as Lu Xun's troops had been practicing for a long time and wanted to conquer, he said to Sun Quan: "I looked at the sky at night and found that the way of heaven was not conducive to Western Shu. Perhaps Prime Minister Kong Ming was afraid that the new emperor of Western Shu was worried, so he directly wrote a letter to send troops to Eastern Wu.
.”
Sun Quan said: "Actually, I have wanted to attack the Central Plains for a long time, but I don't have a chance. Now the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty wrote to me, and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty came to the appointment in person and showed sincerity. I have no reason to refuse."
On the second day, Kong Ming's confidant was summoned to express his willingness to send troops. At the same time, he led the army to the camp, entered Chaomen, attacked the new city of Wei, and sent Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin to station troops in Jiangxia and Miankou, and cooperated with Jingzhou to attack Xinye.
Sun Shao, Zhang Cheng and others sent troops to Guangling, seized Huaiyang and other places, with three troops, totaling 300,000, and chose a good date to go to the battle.
When his confidant heard Sun Quan's order, he thanked him: "If this is the case, then the Central Plains will not be broken soon!"
Sun Quan set up a banquet to entertain his confidants. During the drinking room, Sun Quan asked: "Who should the Prime Minister attack the enemy in front of the army?"
Reply: "Wei Yan is the pioneer."
After hearing this, Sun Quan laughed and said, "This man is a bit brave, but his mind is not right. If there is no Kong Ming in Western Sichuan one day, he will definitely be a disaster. Don't Kong Ming know?"
Reply: "Your Majesty is right. When I go back now, I will definitely pass on Your Majesty's words to the Prime Minister." After that, he said goodbye to Sun Quan, returned to Qishan, and met Kong Ming, saying that Master Wu Sun Quan was willing to set up an army of 300,000
, attack in three ways, and he will also lead the army in person.
Kong Ming asked, "Have he said anything else?"
The confidant said that Sun Quan was evaluating Wei Yan, and Kong Ming sighed: "Sun Quan is really a smart person. I don't know Wei Yan, but I just think he is very brave and has some usefulness!"
The confidant bowed and said, "The Prime Minister should deal with it in advance."
Kong Ming nodded and said, "Of course I have a solution."
At this time, Yu Yi was summoning everyone to discuss, and suddenly a soldier came to report that the Eastern Wu was preparing to raise three armies, totaling 300,000 to attack the Central Plains.
Yu Yi felt strange. When he was confused, a soldier suddenly came to report that it was the envoy of the Eastern Wu. Yu Yi quickly summoned him to ask for the reason. The envoy told him about the incident with Kong Ming’s confidant from the Eastern Wu. Yu Yi was a little bit.
The head asked the envoy of the Eastern Wu to retreat first and was about to send a video to Kong Ming to inquire about the situation. Suddenly, the soldiers came to report again, saying that there was military information on the front line of Qishan. Yu Yi took it apart and then realized that Kong Ming and Sima Yi had the first battle.
He was very depressed and lost his troops. Because he was afraid of Yu Yi's concern, he ignored it and wrote a letter to Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu.
Yu Yi sighed and said, "This is how Kong Ming is. He always likes to carry everything. Sooner or later, there will be problems." After saying that, he ordered everyone in Jingzhou to join Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin to send 100,000 troops to set off from Xiangyang City.
, crossed Xiangjiang River, attacked Fancheng directly, and sent Tan Bowen and Xu Da to stay in the south county of Jingzhou.
Kong Ming began to discuss the plan for the subsequent Northern Expedition with the generals. Suddenly, the generals of Wei surrendered. Kong Ming summoned him to inquire and replied: "He is Zheng Wen, a general of Wei. Recently, he brought his troops with Qin Lang. After hearing the call from Sima Yi,
Unexpectedly, Sima Yi was favored and appointed Qin Lang as a general to treat himself like a mustard of grass, so he felt unbalanced, so he came to join Xishu and hoped that the Prime Minister could take him in." At this moment, someone reported that Qin Lang was in the camp with his troops
External challenge, he also asked Zheng Wen to come out by name.
After hearing this, Kong Ming smiled and said, "So how about your martial arts compared to Qin Lang?"
Reply: "I can kill him!"
Kong Ming stood up and said, "Okay, if you can kill Qin Lang, then I will accept your surrender and will not be confused."
So Zheng Wen happily got out of the camp and confronted Qin Lang. Kong Ming came out to watch it in person. He only saw Qin Lang riding a horse with his spear and cursed: "The thief stole my war horse and came here. He can return it to me quickly!"
After saying that, he took Zheng Wen straight.
Zheng Wen waved his sword and went forward. The two horses fought. Zheng Wen killed him in just one round. The Wei army collapsed everywhere. Zheng Wen brought his head into the camp. Kong Ming had already returned to the Zhongjun camp and sat down. Waiting
Zheng Wen arrived, furious, scolded his left and right, and said, "Put him out and behead him!"
After hearing this, Zheng Wen panicked and shouted loudly, "The young general has no sin!"
Kong Ming laughed and said, "I have met Qin Lang before. The person you are killing now is not Qin Lang himself at all. Why do you want to deceive me!"
Zheng Wen bowed and said, "Actually, this person is not Qin Lang, but his younger brother Qin Ming."
Kong Ming said: "Sima Yi sent you to pretend to surrender to Western Shu and then secretly deal with it. But how can you hide it from me? If you don't tell the truth, I will definitely kill you!"
Zheng Wen could only tell the truth, admitting that he was a false surrender, crying and begging for death, Kong Ming said: "You can give you a way out. If you want to write a letter to ask Sima Yi to rob the camp, I will spare your life.
If you catch Sima Yi, you will be the first contribution. I will report it to the new emperor Yuyi and reuse you!"
Zheng Wen had no choice but to write a letter as required and handed it to Kong Ming. Kong Ming asked the soldiers to lock up Zheng Wen first. Fan Jian asked: "How did the Prime Minister know that he was pretending to surrender?"
Reply: "As far as I know, Sima Yi will not use people easily. If Qin Lang is appointed as a former general, then his martial arts must be very good. Now he is confronted with Zheng Wen and he will be killed in one round. I guess he is not Zheng Wen, let alone Zheng Wen's
His martial arts skills are very poor, so he knew he was pretending to surrender." Everyone was convinced after hearing this.
