Huang Xu then led the army out of the city to set up camp, and sent a small number of soldiers with a relatively mild personality to be responsible for the work of placing a list of people and counting the number of people in the city.

The people hiding in the city should be mainly old and weak children, the food and materials in these people's homes must have been robbed by the Wei soldiers, and it is difficult to survive independently.

At the same time, Huang Xu sent people to the vicinity of Xuchang to find the people who went out to hide.

These people who can hide in the wild and sleep in the open should be mainly young and strong.

If these two groups of people can be gathered, Xuchang City will be able to regain some vitality.

In terms of division, Guo Huai and Sima Zhao converged, and there were tens of thousands of troops under his hands, and Huang Xu had few soldiers, so he did not dare to go north rashly, so he stayed in Xuchang and was responsible for stabilizing Yingchuan.

On the other side, Yangxia County.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang had already caught up and arrived in Yangxia.

Outside the Wei military camp.

Zhao Yun said to Zhuge Liang: "According to the scout, Sima Yi arrived in Yangxia County the day before yesterday, and after resting outside the city for a night, he set up camp outside the city. ”

Huo Jun urged him to step forward, looked at the Wei army camp and muttered: "Looking at the defense of its camp, it is quite strict, and it is not an ordinary rest camp. This Sima Yi plans to stalemate with us in Yangxia again? ”

Zhuge Liang said with a calm face: "It seems that the people of Yanzhou have not yet successfully migrated, and the Wei army in Xuchang has not completely retreated, and Sima Yi does not dare to go north, so he is stationed here again, trying to drag us down." ”

Chen Zhi sneered: "I heard that Sima Yi's son Sima Zhao is stationed in Xuchang, and Xuchang is in the west, and it is only two hundred miles away, so it's no wonder that Sima Yi didn't dare to continue north." If Da Sima led his troops to the west to kill Xuchang, his precious son would be gone. ”

Chen Zhi was embarrassed: "It's just that Sima Yi is camped here, if we continue to stalemate with him, the people in the north will be emptied by the Wei State." ”

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "Set up camp first, and discuss other matters later." ”

"No!" The generals will take the command.

After evening, the Han army set up the camp.

Zhuge Liang and the generals gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Zhao Yun said to Zhuge Liang: "Great Sima, we can't continue to stalemate with Sima Yi, if the stalemate continues, the people in the north will be moved away by the Wei army." ”

Zhang Ren nodded and said, "During this time, we have been led by his nose, and we can't go on like this." ”

Zhuge Liang looked at the generals and muttered: "What you said is right, it is true that you can't be led by Sima Yi, I have a way to force Sima Yi to withdraw from the army." ”

The generals hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Da Sima's plan is?" ”

Zhuge Liang asked the generals: "In the north, it is Zhao Yan's commander Huainan soldiers and horses who are responsible for moving the people, but their soldiers and horses are not concentrated, but scattered everywhere.

In the past, we were in Yuzhou, too far away from Yanbei, I didn't dare to let the cavalry go north, and the lone army went deeper, so as not to fall into an ambush.

But now, we have marched to this point, not far from Xuchang, where there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses of Huang Xu, so that the cavalry will go north and not go deep alone.

So I decided to take the initiative and send a cavalry north, and when Sima Yi saw that I was sending cavalry north, he was afraid that I would cut off his retreat, and he would definitely retreat, and he did not dare to confront me here.

However, after the cavalry goes north, it will be difficult for me to provide them with food and grass and baggage, so I must let the wise and brave generals send troops there, I wonder which of you wants to lead the army? ”

Hearing this, Huo Jun put forward a different opinion: "Da Sima, since this is the case, it is better not to stop the Wei army from moving the people, and directly send cavalry to cut off Sima Yi's retreat." If Sima Yi stays, it's worth it! ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Hey, the Wei army relocated the people, as long as the young and strong are not old and weak, I don't know how many people have been displaced because of this." If you only think about annihilating Sima Yi, those people will suffer.

Compared with Sima Yi, I like those people more.

And Sima Yi is resourceful, since he dares to confront me here, he must have thought of a way to deal with it, even if he uses cavalry to cut off his retreat, I am afraid that he will also have a way to retreat.

Therefore, the task of the cavalry this time is to go to Yanbei to prevent the Wei army from moving the people. ”

"Great Sima, the last general is willing to lead the army to go!"

"The last will go!"

When the generals heard this, they surrendered their hands to fight.

Zhuge Liang's gaze wandered around among the generals, and finally fell on Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren: "This time, General Zhang Ren and Zilong will go together." He led 3,000 cavalry, ordered his soldiers and horses to prepare half a month's worth of dry food tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning. ”

"No!" The second general will give up his command.

That night, the Han army was busy making dry food, and the next morning, the two led the cavalry, bypassing the Wei army camp and heading straight to the north.

Wei military camp.

As soon as Sima Yi got up, the generals came to his camp: "General Qiyu, just now a cavalry of the Shu army bypassed our army camp and went north. ”

"Zhuge Liang sent cavalry north?" Sima Yi's face changed when he heard this.

The first general said worriedly: "General, is Zhuge Liang planning to cut off our retreat?" ”

"Or is it to stop Zhao Tingshi from relocating the people?"

"Holding Zhuge Liang's nose during this time seems to have made him impatient." Sima Yi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "But Zhuge Liang has always cherished the people, and he must have gone to the north to stop Zhao Yan from moving the people."

In that case, it won't do much for me to continue to stalemate with Zhuge Liang here. And if the cavalry goes north, if they discover my plan, it will be very bad. ”

Thinking of this, Sima Yi ordered: "You guys make preparations, and we will retreat early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes!" The generals will take the command.

Sima Yi ordered people to pack up their things and prepare to retreat, and the Han army soon got the news.

Listening to the scout's return, Zhuge Liang sneered: "Sima Yi's guy saw that I sent cavalry, and he really couldn't sit still, so he ordered the soldiers to give me a pillow to wait for, and if Sima Yi retreats tomorrow, he will immediately catch up, so as not to use the strategy of cutting off the road with water." ”

Early the next morning, after breakfast, the Wei army prepared to retreat.

Sima Yi was inspecting the equipment, and a general came over and reported to Sima Yi: "General, there is fire and smoke in the Shu army camp early in the morning, it seems that they have also risen, and they don't plan to let us retreat easily." ”

Sima Yi heard the words and walked out of the gate and looked towards the Shu military camp, at this moment the sky was not yet bright but saw the Han army camp brightly lit, and there was a faint noise sounding, it seemed that the soldiers and horses were up.

General Wei said worriedly: "I'm afraid that before all our soldiers and horses leave the camp, the Shu army will come up, so it won't work at all after the water is cut off." ”

Sima Yi said coldly: "Hmph, I have already planned, you don't have to take the role, there are still eight thousand old and weak remnants under the command of Man Thorn Shi, divide half of them, and let them attack the Shu camp."

The other half, let them go ahead, if the cavalry of the Shu army intercepts our retreat in front, let it attack the cavalry, and we will retreat from other roads. ”

Sure enough, as Zhuge Liang expected, Sima Yi did have a way to retreat the troops, but he didn't want this method to be so vicious, so he directly abandoned the soldiers and horses and let them die to achieve the goal of retreating.
