Zhuge Liang and Zhang Renbing were divided into two roads, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan, and Zhang Ren went out of the sloping valley.

Zhang Renbing went out of the valley, arrived at Wuzhangyuan, and set up camp in Wuzhangyuan, threatening Meixian.

Due to Zhang Ren's sudden dispatch of troops and bluffing, Cao Wei did not know Zhang Ren's reality and reality, and there were only 10,000 horses of Sun Li stationed in Meixian County near the valley. Zhang He, Cao Chun was in Chang'an, Cao Zhen went to Luoyang, and Sun Li didn't dare to act rashly.

On the one hand, Sun Li chose not to hold out, and on the other hand, he sent someone to report the news of Zhang Ren's dispatch to Chang'an, and asked Zhang He to send reinforcements quickly.

Soon, Zhang He received the news from Chang'an.

Zhang He is the rear general of Cao Wei, and in the absence of Cao Zhen, the governor of Yongliang, Zhang He is the supreme general.

Knowing that Zhang Ren's soldiers were out of the valley, Zhang He gathered soldiers and horses from all over the world, led the soldiers and horses to support Sun Li, and sent people to report to Luoyang quickly.

Chang'an and Luoyang are not far away, these two cities are now the capital of Wei, Luoyang is the national capital, Chang'an is the accompanying capital.

The road between the two places is unimpeded, in order to facilitate the transmission of military information, a post station was built, and in the case of an urgent 800-mile rush, it only takes one day to transmit the news to Luoyang.

When the news reached Luoyang, Cao Pi was chatting with Cao Zhen in the garden to enjoy the flowers.

The garden is full of exotic flowers and plants, and the two sit opposite each other in the gazebo.

Cao Pi said to Cao Zhen: "Zidan, now that my health is deteriorating, I also feel that I am unable to deal with government affairs, if I leave suddenly in the future, you must remember my instructions and act." ”

"Your Majesty......"

Cao Zhen wanted to reply, but suddenly an attendant hurriedly broke in.

Cao Pi snorted coldly: "Bastard! Didn't I say that no one was allowed to enter during the conversation with Zidan? ”

The waiter turned pale with fright, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and took out a letter from his arms: "Your Majesty, Yongliang is urgent!" ”

"What?" Cao Pi's face changed, and he hurriedly took the letter and read it.

"Smack!" After reading the letter, Cao Pi slapped it on the table and shouted: "Zhang Renpifu actually led the army out of the sloping valley." ”

"What?" When Cao Zhen heard this, he hurriedly took the letter in Cao Pi's hand and read it.

After reading it several times, Cao Zhen muttered: "Your Majesty, the situation is not good, General Zhang He said in his letter that Zhang Ren came suddenly, the situation of his troops is unknown, and he is stationed in Wuzhangyuan, but there is no sign of marching. If Zhang Ren's purpose is to attack Guanzhong, when I am not in Chang'an, it is necessary to fight quickly and quickly, how can I delay in Wuzhangyuan?

From this point of view, Zhuge Liang really pretended to be sick, so that Zhang Ren went out of the valley, bluffed, and attracted my soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, Zhuge Liang will lead the army out of Qishan to take Longyouye. When I came to Luoyang, Guo Tingshi was leading people to inspect the place, and now it seems that I am afraid that Liupan Mountain has become west and has become a mess. ”

"Ahem...... cough" Listening to Cao Zhen's words, Cao Pi suddenly coughed violently.

"Your Majesty!" Cao Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to help Cao Pi.

Cao Pi calmed down, blocked his mouth with one hand, waved the other, and said, "I'm fine, you quickly go to pass Sima Yi, Jiang Ji and the others go to the study to see the driver." ”

"No!" Cao Zhen retreated.

After Cao Zhen left, Cao Pi let go of the palm blocking his mouth, only to see that there was a scarlet blood stain in the palm of his palm.

Soon, a group of important ministers in Luoyang gathered in Cao Pi's study.

"I guess you already know the news of Zhang Ren's invasion of Guanzhong." Cao Pi looked at the group of civil and military officers and asked.

The crowd nodded.

Cao Pi set his eyes on Sima Yi and asked Sima Yi: "Zhongda, Zidan thinks that Zhuge Liang is pretending to be sick, Zhang Ren's dispatch of troops to Xiegu is a bluff, Zhuge Liang has left Qishan, I don't know what you think?" ”

Sima Yi didn't think about it, and arched his hand and said: "Zhuge Liang will come out of Qishan, Ma Chao will sit in Wudu all the year round, Zhuge Liang will go out of Qishan, Ma Chao will definitely accompany him." With Ma Chao's prestige in Yongliang, he is only afraid of the counties of Longyou and is powerless to resist.

And the news that Zhuge Liang is seriously ill is from Liu Chan, although Liu Chan is young, but not to be underestimated, Weichen wants Zhuge Liang to leave, Liu Chan will reorganize the soldiers and horses, ready to support Zhuge Liang at any time. ”

Cao Pi's face suddenly sank: "What if so?" ”

Sima Yi's face was not flustered, and he arched his hand and said: "The minister expects that Zhang Ren does not have many soldiers and horses, and there is Sun Li stationed in Meixian County to protect the public."

And Zhuge Liang pretended to be sick and sent troops, and we did not receive news of the soldiers and horses in Yizhou, so Zhuge Liang could only use the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong and Wudu, and divided the troops into Zhang Ren, and the ministers expected that Zhuge Liang's troops in Qishan should be around 50,000.

And Qishan Fort is steep and difficult to attack, Zhuge Liang will not waste time in Qishan Fort in order to be surprised, and give Longyou the opportunity to gather soldiers and horses, so that Zhuge Liang will leave a soldier and horse in Qishan Fort to watch the soldiers and horses of Qishan Fort, and the remaining soldiers and horses should be around 10,000.

And in the counties of Longyou, Zhuge Liang also needs to divide his troops to pacify, so that Zhuge Liang's troops will be scattered.

Street Pavilion is the throat of Guanzhong and Longyou, Zhuge Liang will definitely send troops to handle the Street Pavilion, blocking my Guanzhong reinforcements, if you wait for Liu Chan to send reinforcements to arrive in Longyou, then the west of Liupan Mountain, will not be owned by my Great Wei.

His Majesty quickly ordered General Zhang He not to have to fight with Zhang Ren, and directly led his troops to the Jieting, and before Liu Chan's reinforcements arrived, he took the Jieting and marched to Longyou! Zhuge Liang's troops are scattered, if General Zhang He can take the street pavilion, Zhuge Liang will retreat without a fight! ”

Cao Pi looked at the group of civil and military officers and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"What Zhong Da said is good, Your Majesty should quickly order General Zhang He to go out of the sick street pavilion, if it is too late, I am afraid that it will be west of Liupan Mountain, not for my Great Wei land."

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Cao Pi looked at Cao Zhen and asked, "Zidan, what do you think?" ”

Cao Zhen arched his hand and said: "The last general is willing to personally lead the army to the street pavilion!" ”

Cao Pi nodded and said, "Sima Yi listens to the order!" ”

Sima Yi arched his hand: "Weichen is here!" ”

Cao Pi said to Sima Yi: "I ordered you to join the army, go to Guanzhong quickly, meet General Zhang He, and lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to the street pavilion!" ”

Sima Yi gave up his hand and took the order: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

Cao Zhen was displeased when he heard this: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to fight." ”

Cao Zhen shook his head and said: "Zidan, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong are all in the valley, the street pavilion, Chang'an is empty, I will give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately go to Chang'an to sit in the town, and I will then lead 30,000 troops to conquer in person." ”

Cao Zhenxin knew that Cao Pi was not in good health, so he dissuaded: "Your Majesty doesn't have to drive the expedition in person, and the final general will ensure that Yongliang has no public opinion." ”

Cao Pi shook his head and said: "If Liu Chan arrives in Longyou one step ahead of schedule, then the west of Liupan Mountain will be captured by Shu." At present, the enemy's situation is unknown, and we must make preparations with both hands, so I must drive the expedition in person, otherwise I will lose the city and land, and I will have the face to meet the first emperor. ”
