Zhang He did not fight directly, but fled. Wei Yanbian led troops and horses to seize the street pavilion, and rushed more than fifty miles away. With a shout, the troops and horses ambush on both sides rushed out. Sima Yi on the left and Sima Zhao on the right took him from behind.
Wei Yan was surrounded, and Wei Yan was directly trapped in the center. Zhang He attacked again, and the three groups of soldiers and horses were mixed together. Wei Yan rushed left and right, but was unable to break out of the encirclement. A large number of soldiers and horses were lost, and he was in danger.
Suddenly, a group of men and horses came out, and the man at the head was Wang Ping. Wei Yan was very happy and said, "I have a way to escape!" The two joined forces and killed each other for a while. Only then did the Wei army
After retreating, the two men hurriedly returned to the camp, which was filled with the flags of the Wei army. Shen Dan and Shen Yi fought their way out of the camp. Wang Ping and Wei Yan could only abandon the camp and walk towards Liucheng to join Gao Xiang.
At this time, Gao Xiang had long heard that the street pavilion was lost, so he led the soldiers and horses from Liucheng to go to the rescue. He happened to meet Wang Ping and Wei Yan. They told the whole process. Gao Xiang said: "Why don't we go to rob the stronghold tonight?
Let’s go and take back the street pavilion.”
So the three people discussed it at the foot of the hillside. When the sky turned dark, the troops were divided into three groups. Wei Yan led the troops and horses forward and came to the street pavilion. He didn't see anyone. He was very confused and didn't dare to move forward, so he lurked at the intersection and waited.
, suddenly saw Gao Xiang arriving with his troops and horses, both of them reported that they did not know where Wei Jun was, so they ignored him, but Wang Ping was nowhere to be seen.
The soldiers and horses suddenly heard the sound of cannons, the flames shot into the sky, and the drums shook the ground. The Wei army came out from nowhere and surrounded Wei Yan and Gao Xiang. The two clashed everywhere and had no way to break out of the encirclement. Suddenly, they heard shouts from behind the hillside.
With a sound like thunder, a team of men and horses rushed out. It was Wang Ping who rescued Gao Xiang and Wei Yan and ran towards Liucheng.
By the time they got to the bottom of the Liucheng city wall, a group of people had already arrived at the edge of the city. The flag had the words "Guo Huai, Governor of Wei" written on it. It turned out that Guo Huai and Cao Zhen had discussed it, fearing that Sima Yi would get all the credit, so they divided their troops to attack the street pavilion.
Said Secretary
Ma Yi and Zhang He had already captured the street pavilion, so they went to attack Liucheng with their troops. They happened to encounter three generals, and they fought for a while. Many Shu soldiers were injured. Wei Yan was afraid that Yangping Pass would be lost, so he and Wang Ping
Gao Xiang walked towards Yangping Pass.
Guo Huai collected his soldiers and horses and said to his left and right: "Although we have no way to capture the street pavilion, we have captured Liucheng, which is a great achievement." So he led his troops to the city to call the door, only to hear a cannon shot from the city.
, the flags were all put up, and the top flag said "Sima Yi, the Governor of Pingxi".
Sima Yi stood by the guardrail on the city wall and laughed: "Why is Governor Guo Huai so late?"
Guo Huai looked very surprised and sighed: "Sima Yi's resourcefulness is beyond my comparison." Then they entered the city and the two met and exchanged greetings.
Sima Yi said: "Now that the street pavilion is lost, Zhuge Liang will definitely find a way to escape. You can chase him with General Cao Zhen overnight."
Guo Huai followed this suggestion and left the city. Sima Yi said to Zhang He: "Cao Zhen and Guo Huai were afraid that I would get all the credit, so they came to attack Liucheng. It was not because I was greedy for success, but just because of luck. I guess Wei Yan, Wang
Ping, Ma Su, Gao Xiang and others will definitely defend Yangping Pass. If I attack this
Zhuge Liang must have come to cover up the place, and we have fallen into the trap. The Art of War says, don’t cover up when you return to the enemy, and don’t pursue the poor enemy. You can retreat through Ji Valley through the small road. I will personally lead the troops and horses to resist the Shu army in Xie Valley.
, if you fail, don’t resist, just stop on the way and capture all the Shu army’s baggage.”
After Zhang He received the trick, he left with his troops. Sima Yi ordered: "Attack Xiegu, attack from Xicheng. Although Xicheng is a remote small county, it is where the Shu army stores food and grass, plus Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding.
All counties must pass through here. If we get this place, then the three counties can be recovered."
So Sima Yi stayed in Shendan, while Shen Yi guarded Liucheng, and he led the army towards the Xie Valley.
Since Ma Su left, Kong Ming has been restless and hesitant. He was originally going to call Yuyi's video to discuss the method, but he was afraid of Yuyi's jokes, so he didn't call. As for Yuyi, after leaving Xiangyang City, he quickly
Rushing to the front line, originally
I also thought about making a video, but later I felt that Kong Ming should have been prepared for Sima Yi's front-line attack. The two were old enemies, and they were rivals. Some of my knowledge may not be comprehensive enough, so I did not influence Kong Ming, so the video incident was completely missed.
When Wang Ping sent someone to send the defense plan of the street pavilion, Kong Ming took it and took it apart to look at it. He slammed the table and was very surprised. He said: "Ma Su is ignorant. He has tricked our Shu army into a trap."
Tragic!" Then Kong Ming stood up suddenly, feeling dizzy and almost stopped standing. He had high hopes for Ma Su, but he didn't expect that this person would be so low-level.
The left and right people hurriedly stepped forward to help him and asked, "Why is the Prime Minister so surprised?"
Kong Ming explained: "I just read this map. I left the throat road unguarded, but moved all the troops and horses to camp on the mountain. If the Wei army comes over, surround the mountain and cut off the water source under the mountain, it will take less than two days.
, the Shu army will definitely be in chaos, then the street pavilion will definitely not be able to defend, how should we return to Hanzhong?"
Yang Yi, the chief historian, said: "Although I am not very talented, I am willing to reply to Ma Su and save this mistake." So Kong Ming gave Yang Yi instructions on how to set up camp. As he was about to leave, suddenly a scout came to report:
"Jieting and Liucheng have been captured by the Wei army."
After hearing this, Kong Ming was in a very bad mood and sighed: "The big thing has happened. It was my fault!" He quickly called Guan Xing and Zhang Bao and ordered: "You two take three thousand elite soldiers to Wugong Mountain.
If you encounter the Wei army on a small road, don't attack with great fanfare. Just make noises and shouts to disturb them as suspicious soldiers. They will definitely retreat, so don't pursue them. When the army leaves, you can go to Yangping Pass." Then sent Zhang Yi.
He took his soldiers and horses to repair the sword pavilion and prepared for the way back. He also sent an order to the army to secretly pack up their luggage and equipment and prepare to return. He sent Ma Dai and Jiang Wei to break up the rear and lie in ambush in the valley. After the army left, they retreated and sent their confidants.
They went to report to the people in Tianshui, Nan'an and Anding counties respectively, and did all the work to prepare to return to Hanzhong. Finally, they asked their close friends to go to Hebei County to pick up Jiang Wei's mother and send her to Hanzhong.
After Kong Ming finished his instructions, he first took 5,000 soldiers and horses to Xicheng to carry grain and grass. Suddenly, an urgent report came from the front, saying: "Sima Yi is leading a 150,000 Wei army and is heading towards Xicheng!"
At this time, there were no generals around Kong Ming, only some civilian officials. Half of the 5,000 soldiers and horses he brought with him went to transport grain and grass, leaving only 2,500 people in the city. After everyone heard the news, they were very scared.
Kong Ming went to the top of the city wall to see in person, and sure enough, the dust was rising into the sky. The Wei army divided into two groups to attack the west city. Kong Ming knew that everything was too late.
In desperation, Kong Ming had an idea and issued an order: "Hide all the flags and each of you guard your own place. If there are anyone who travels randomly or speaks loudly, behead them all! Then open the city gate wide.
, each gate has more than twenty soldiers, dressed as common people, to clean the streets. If the Wei army arrives, they cannot leave without permission and just sit back and watch the show!"
