Yu Yi smiled and said, "Don't be too strict with yourself, you should relax even if you are appropriate." Huang Shumin nodded after hearing this, looked at Zhuge Shan, and said, "Does Your Majesty want to take my military advisor away?"
Yu Yi seemed a little embarrassed and turned to Zhuge Shan and said, "It depends on your wishes. If you want to stay in Xiangyang City, I will not force you to stay."
Zhuge Shan said: "Then let me stay. Let me take care of you with the Marquis of Jingzhou and guard Xiangyang City!"
Yu Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to set off for Qishan tomorrow. Sima Yi will definitely be full of tricks when he goes to Luoyang this time. I want to assist our Prime Minister."
That night, Zhuge Shan was naturally with Yu Yi, and the two of them were entangled all night. On the second day, Yu Yi issued an order to grant Zhuge Shan the nobleman and also served as the military advisor of Xiangyang City, so he left Xiangyang.
In Luoyang City, Cao Rui learned that Meng Da's rebellion was conquered by Sima Yi, and put his head in the market for public display. He added Shen Dan and Shen Yi's official positions, and asked them to march with Sima Yi, appoint Li Fu and Deng Xian to guard the new city.
Mediocre.
Sima Yi's army soon arrived outside Chang'an City to set up camp. He entered the city himself to meet the Lord Wei. Cai Rui seemed a little happy and ashamed, and said, "I didn't know for a moment. I have been defeated by Shu's counter-espionage strategy and I regret it very much now.
Now Meng Da is secretly rebelling. If you didn’t appear in time to stop him, then the two capitals will be over!"
Sima Yi replied: "I heard Shen Yi report that Meng Da was planning to rebel and was preparing to report to His Majesty, but he was afraid that the time of the exchange would be delayed, so he could not wait for the imperial edict and sent troops overnight. If you wait for His Majesty to reply, then you will be defeated.
After saying that, he submitted the letter from Kong Ming to Meng Da.
After seeing it, Cao Rui was very happy and said, "Your knowledge is probably better than Sun Wu and Wu Qi!" After that, he rewarded a pair of golden axes and granted them privileges. In the future, he encountered some secret matters.
If you need to make a request, you should act directly, and then arrange for Sima Yi to go out of seclusion to deal with the Shu army.
Sima Yi replied: "I recommend a general who can be a pioneer."
Cao Rui asked, "Who are you going to recommend?"
He replied: "Right General Zhang He can take on this burden."
Cao Rui smiled and said, "I am just about to use him!" So he appointed Zhang He as the vanguard in front and followed Sima Yi to Chang'an to defeat the Shu army. At the same time, Xin Pi and Sun Li led 50,000 troops to assist Cao Zhen.
The two of them went to the court by order.
Sima Yi brought 200,000 troops out of the customs. After choosing a place to set up a camp, he summoned the vanguard Zhang He to the camp and said, "Zhuge Liang is very cautious and dare not act rashly. If I use my troops, I will first attack from Ziwu Valley.
Chang'an, then Chang'an has long been captured. It was not that he had no strategy, but was afraid of failure and refused to take risks. Now he would definitely send troops from the Xigu to attack the city of Ji. If he attacked the city of Ji, he would divide his troops into two groups.
I have issued a manifesto to take Jigu all the way, asking Cao Zhen to guard the city of Jigu. If there are troops attacking, I will definitely not fight. Let Sun Li and Xinpi intercept the entrance of Jigu. If there are troops passing by, then I will launch a surprise attack.
”
Zhang He asked, "So where will the general march?"
Reply: "I heard that there is a road in the west of the Qinling Mountains called Jieting, and there is a city next to it called Liucheng. These two places are the throats of Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang was not prepared to bully Cao Zhen, and he would definitely march from here. I
Go to get Jieting with you and then go to Yangping Pass, the distance will not be far. If Zhuge Liang knew that I had cut off Jieting's dangerous road and his food route, then the entire Longxi area could not be safely guarded and would definitely be overnight
Returning to Hanzhong, if he returns, I will ambush the small road with my troops and horses, and I will win a complete victory. If I don’t go back, I will let the guards of the small road block all the latches. Within a month, the Shu army will be
If you starve to death, then Zhuge Liang will definitely be captured by me."
After hearing this, Zhang He suddenly realized, bowed to the ground, and said, "Governor is a divine calculation!"
Sima Yi said: "Although this is the case, Zhuge Liang is no better than Meng Da. As a vanguard, he should not advance easily. He can send orders to all generals to advance along the roads of Shanxi. He should do a good job of probing. If there are no ambushes,
Only by moving forward can we move forward. If we are negligent, we may be hit by Zhuge Liang's plan." Zhang He was plotted to lead his army forward.
Kong Ming was in the Qishan camp, and suddenly Xincheng reported in detail. Kong Ming quickly called him in and reported in detail: "Sima Yi accelerated his march and arrived in Xincheng in eight days. Meng Da was caught off guard and was then Shen Dan, Shen Yi, Li Fu, Deng.
Xian was an internal adviser and was killed by the rioters. Now Sima Yi withdrew his troops to Chang'an. When he met the Lord of Wei, he and Zhang He brought his troops out of the pass to resist us."
Kong Ming was very surprised and said, "Meng Da was not doing things well and was killed by the rioters. Now that Sima Yi is leading his troops out of the pass, he will definitely attack Jieting and cut off our throat." Then he asked the generals under his seat.
He said: "Who of you wants to guard the street pavilion?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Su, a military officer, said: "I am willing to go!"
Kong Ming said: "Jiping is very small, but it is very important. If Jieting is lost, then our army will end. You know the strategy, but unfortunately there is no city defense and no natural dangers in this place, so it is very difficult to guard it."
Ma Su said: "I have read a lot of military books since I was a child. I know the art of military affairs. How could I not even be able to defend a Jieting?"
Kong Ming reminded: "Sima Yi is not an idle person, and he has the pioneer Zhang He, who are all famous generals of the Wei State. I am afraid you can't resist it."
Ma Su knew that Kong Ming was urging him, so he said, "Don't say it was Sima Yi, Zhang He, and Cao Rui came in person. What's the fear of me? If the task is not completed, I hope to kill my whole family."
Kong Ming said: "There is no joke in the army!"
Ma Su said: "I hope to issue a military order."
Kong Ming agreed, Ma Su wrote a military order and handed it over. Kong Ming said, "I will send you 25,000 elite soldiers and a general to help you go together." Then Wang Ping was summoned and said, "I know you have been very cautious in your life.
So you can entrust such a burden. You can be careful to guard this place. You must go to the key places to prevent the thief army from passing immediately. After the camp is completed, draw out the surrounding geographical shapes and show me everything.
We will proceed after discussion and we cannot make a decision at will. If we keep Jieting, then you will be the first contribution to Chang'an. We must pay attention!" After that, the two of them went.
Kong Ming continued to think, afraid that the two of them would have problems, so he called Gao Xiang again and said, "There is a city in the northeast of Jieting, called Liucheng, which is a remote path in the mountains. You can garrison troops here, I will assign you a
Ten thousand soldiers, if Jieting is in danger, you can take the soldiers to rescue."
After Gao Xiang left, Kong Ming thought again that Gao Xiang was definitely not Zhang He's opponent, and he had to have a general to station troops on the right side of Jieting. This would be preventable, so Wei Yan and his troops would go to the back of Jieting to garrison.
