A few days later, Liu Bei led the main army to Wuzhangyuan.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Fei told Liu Bei the news he had found during this time.

Finally, Zhang Fei told Liu Bei the latest news: "In addition, the scouts found out again that Zhang He led an army of 20,000 troops from the direction of Jieting, which is still two or three hundred miles away. ”

Liu Bei nodded after hearing this: "It seems that Adou is not wrong, Cao Cao's trap is indeed in Liangzhou." ”

Now that the weather is getting hotter, Zhuge Liang's feather fan shook lightly and said, "I have roughly guessed Cao Cao's arrangement in Liangzhou?" ”

"Oh? Advisor, please! "Although Liu Bei's troops are out of the valley now, if you know Cao Cao's arrangement in Liangzhou, it will still have some effect on the battle situation here.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and muttered: "First of all, Qishan Fort, Qishan Fort is the only way for our army to march into Liangzhou, for most of the past half a year, the Cao army has been strengthening Qishan Fort, and has also blocked the road to prevent our army spies from entering Liangzhou, so we don't know much about the situation in Liangzhou."

Cao Cao strengthened Qishan Fort in this way, but according to the scouts, there were not many soldiers and horses in Qishan Fort, and according to their speculation, there were only more than 10,000 people. This is a little wrong, since Cao Cao has strengthened Qishan Fort, obviously to prevent our army from leaving Qishan, how can he only fortify 10,000 soldiers and horses in Qishan Fort?

Therefore, I conclude that Cao Cao has hidden troops in Qishan Fort! ”

"What is the purpose of hiding soldiers?" Liu Bei wondered.

"The role of the Tibetan soldiers is to show the enemy weakness!" Zhuge Liang explained: "If you contact Zhang He to lead his troops from the direction of Jieting, you can see Cao Cao's true intention of hiding troops in Qishan Fort. ”

"I see!" Xu Shu's eyes lit up and said: "Jieting is the main road from Guanzhong to Liangzhou, Zhang He's soldiers and horses are stationed in Jieting, if our army really goes out of Qishan, it means that Cao Cao will let our army enter Liangzhou."

Because as soon as our army enters Liangzhou, it will go to the Jieting Pavilion, and Zhang He set up an ambush in the Jieting in advance, as soon as our army arrives at the Jieting, the situation is unknown, and it will definitely be defeated! ”

Liu Bei was even more puzzled when he heard this: "I don't understand what you say, Cao Cao is hiding troops in Qishan Fort, and we are blocked in Qishan Fort, how can we enter Liangzhou?" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "This is Cao Cao's treachery, I guess Cao Cao may have let Qishan Fort only expose 10,000 soldiers and horses, making a look of perseverance, Qishan Fort has a steep terrain, although there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, but it is not something that can be conquered in a short time."

When the lord was in a stalemate in Qishan Fort, the Taishou of the counties in the interior of Liangzhou showed a lack of preparation, afraid of the loss of Qishan Fort, so he surrendered to the lord, so the lord could not easily conquer Qishan Fort, and the counties in the interior of Liangzhou surrendered, and the lord was worried that he would not be able to take Qishan Fort in a short time, and Guanzhong would send reinforcements from Jieting.

In this way, the lord only divided his troops, leaving a part of his troops to stay in Qishan Fort, and the lord led the soldiers and horses into the hinterland of Liangzhou, divided the troops to take over the city, and sent a part of the soldiers and horses to the street pavilion handle.

On the side of Qishan Fort, the lord felt that Qishan Fort only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, so he only needed to keep an eye on them, and when Liangzhou was completely pacified, he would come back to deal with them. Therefore, there will definitely not be many soldiers and horses left, and as soon as the lord leaves, the soldiers and horses hidden in Qishan Fort will raid the defenders left behind.

In the direction of the street pavilion, Zhang He waited for the net to go to the street pavilion, and the soldiers and horses who went to the street pavilion were bound to be defeated, and in Liangzhou, various places rebelled against the lord. In this way, the main grain road is cut off, and there is no way to advance or retreat, is it not a great defeat?

This Cao Cao's strategy is really clever, if it weren't for the prince who deduced his conspiracy according to Cao Cao's character, if our army came out of Qishan, I was afraid that I would also fall for the scheme. ”

If Cao Cao was here, he was afraid that he would sigh at Zhuge Liang's wisdom, and just by virtue of Zhang He's coming from the street pavilion, he would guess his arrangement in Liangzhou.

However, what Zhuge Liang didn't know was that in addition to these schemes in Liangzhou, Cao Cao also borrowed 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Western Regions in order to defeat Liu Bei in one fell swoop.

Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang's analysis, and his forehead couldn't help but ooze cold sweat, he wiped the cold sweat and said: "If you go out of Qishan, it will be a dead end. ”

It is said that Liu Chan's nickname is Adou, this nickname also has a origin, before Mrs. Gan became pregnant, she dreamed that she swallowed a Big Dipper, and she became pregnant soon after, and Liu Chan also had a vision when she was born.

This Adou's fight is exactly what the Big Dipper means, Liu Chan has made countless meritorious contributions over the years, and he can afford it.

Wei Yan arched his hand and said: "Now that Cao Cao's conspiracy has been exposed, Zhang He's soldiers and horses in the street pavilion have not arrived, Cao Cao is in Sili, and the soldiers and horses of the state will gather at least half a month later, our army should do its best to defeat Xiahou Yuan, if Xiahou Yuan can be defeated, the lord can win the Dingguan victory!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Bei nodded and ordered: "Let the brothers have a good rest today, and early tomorrow morning, raise troops to attack Xiahou Yuan!" ”

"No!" The soldiers surrendered their orders.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Bei raised all three armies, leaving only 5,000 soldiers and horses to handle the camp, and led more than 140,000 troops to attack Xiahou Yuan.

In the narrow part of the Wei River, the Shu army built more than a dozen pontoon bridges, and the army crossed the Wei River and went straight to the North Plains.

Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen, and Jiang Ji looked at the Shu army slowly approaching in front of them, and their faces were a little solemn.

Jiang Ji said in a deep voice: "Liu Bei is only afraid that he will bring all the soldiers and horses over, and then he is afraid that it will be a vicious battle." ”

Xiahou Yuan snorted coldly and said: "My camp is indestructible, even if Liu Bei attacks, I am not afraid!" Brothers, cheer me up, the army of King Wei will be there soon! ”

Liu Bei led a large army to arrive outside the camp.

Liu Bei looked at the camp in front of him and ordered: "Zilong, you lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Nanzhai, Lin Xiao, you lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack the north rate, Wei Yan, you lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Dongzhai, Yide, you lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xizhai!" ”

"No!" The four of them gave up their orders, and each led 30,000 soldiers and horses to divide into Cao Jun and leave the camp gate.

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Strategist, you are familiar with the art of war, you may see the flaws in this camp?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "There are no flaws, only a strong attack." ”

"Xiahou Yuan invades like fire with soldiers, and he is not good at such meticulous work!" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but look at the scout and asked, "In addition to Xiahou Yuan, what other generals are there in the camp?" ”

The scout replied, "Cao Zhen, Jiang Ji! ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "It turned out to be Jiang Ji, this person's talent is no less than Sima Yi, and he may not be able to use soldiers, but he has the ability to set up camp, but Sima Yi didn't come?" Is it in Liangzhou? ”

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, took out a drawing from his arms, and handed it to Liu Beidao: "Lord, according to the report from the scout, Zhang He can arrive in five days at most, although our army is three times as many as Xiahou Yuan, but Cao's army relies on the camp and will not be a problem to defend for five days."

This is the blueprint handed over to me by the prince before proceeding, the lord can be built according to the drawing, and even if Zhang He leads the army to help, with this return cannon, he will definitely be able to break through the Cao army camp! ”
