Chapter 158 4. The decisive battle at Qishan

It is very difficult to siege a city, and people are inside, condescending.If you are outside and attack on your back, it is not worthwhile.Even if Sima Yi is extremely intelligent, there is nothing he can do about Fang Ling.According to historical records, Sima Yi stormed Fangling for sixteen days. Sixteen days, which is close to the critical value of Zhuge Kongming's arrival.Moreover, the reinforcements from Xishu and Dongwu had already arrived, but the team that came was a little weak.The reinforcements were blocked by Sima Yi's division in Xicheng, Anqiao and Mulan strongholds, unable to move forward.

Sixteen days after the siege, how did Sima Yi attack?It's funny to say that he just recruited craftsmen to build ships, paid high salaries, and only asked for a faster construction period.Sixteen days after the boat was built, all the Wei soldiers boarded the boat, rowed to the wooden fence outside the city, and removed the wooden fence. Inside is the city wall, which should be more difficult to conquer than the wooden fence outside.But seeing the menacing Wei army approaching, the guards in the city had already collapsed psychologically.The first to collapse was Li Fu, Meng Da's nephew and most trusted general.The two men muttered, opened the city gate, and said, "Don't be angry, Sima Yi, it's not that we don't let you in, it's this period of time... well, the key to the city gate is lost, really, it's not human to lie to you. "

Sima Yi went into the city angrily and said, "Where is Meng Da? Where is his head? I want his head." Meng Da was killed and his head was sent to Sima Yi.Sima Yi said: "Very good, very good, send this head to our little boss Cao Rui." It was passed down to Luoyang. Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui hated people like Meng Da very much.That is to say, take this skull to the street, find a place with ventilation in all directions, and burn it for me.Meng Da's head was burned in the thoroughfare of Luoyang City. Meng Da's skull was burned at the end of 227 AD. After the Spring Festival, Zhuge Liang finally wobbled and came with his soldiers.

A little bit late. Arriving in Hanzhong, Prime Minister Sima Wei Yan came and said: "Prime Minister, look at the Guanzhong side, go east along the Qinling Mountains, turn north after Ziwu Road, and you can go straight to Chang'an. The one who guards this road is Xia Houyuan. My son Xia Houmao, this Xia Houmao married Princess Qinghe, Cao Cao's daughter. That little princess is like a flower and a jade. So, as long as you give me five thousand elite soldiers, the prime minister, I will take this road to kill Chang'an. Xia Houmao People are the second generation of rich people, so they know how to pick up girls and race cars, and they are definitely not my opponent."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Wei Yan, you used to be a soldier beside my boss Liu Bei, and later took Hanzhong. At that time, everyone thought that the boss would definitely let Zhang Fei guard Hanzhong, but the boss chose you. Why? You You are brave in combat. I remember when you took office, the boss Liu Bei asked you: "Xiao Wei, what should I do if Cao Bing comes?" It. If it exceeds 100,000, I will defend the boss.' After hearing your answer, the boss is very satisfied... What I mean is, Wei Yan, you are very good at fighting, I am optimistic about you, you call Zhao Yun for me .”

Zhuge Liang rejected Wei Yan's proposal.why?No reason, Zhuge Liang has his own ideas. Zhao Yun was called over, and Zhuge Liang asked Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi to lead a part of the troops into the Odd Valley, thinking that they were suspicious soldiers.And he himself led the main force to attack Qi Shan. What is Qi Shan?Qishan is the military center of Wei State in the west.At that time, there were three important towns in Wei State, one was Hefei, one was Qishan, and the other was Xiangyang.These three important military towns have assembled a large amount of weapons and equipment, as well as food and grass, and are the military command centers set up by Wei State on the border.Once it is taken down, Wei Guo will open the country wide, allowing Xishu and Dongwu to come and go at will.

So Zhuge Liang wanted to win Qishan, which was really not a difficult task for him. In fact, the attack on Qishan has not yet begun, and there are frequent reports of success ahead.Behind Qishan, there are three counties, Nan'an County, Tianshui County and Anding County, all of which belong to Wei State.When the officials and common people of these three counties heard that Zhuge Liang was coming, they immediately held an enlarged meeting and discussed, "What should I do? Zhuge Liang is here. I heard that this man is very powerful. What should I do? Let's vote with a show of hands, should we continue to hang out with Cao Rui? Or should we set up a maintenance committee and listen to Zhuge Liang in the future?"

After a democratic vote, all the three counties decided to turn against the water, and they will not mix with Cao Rui in the future, but with Zhuge Liang. In Tianshui County, there is a Jiang Wei who joined the army. He is Zhuge Liang's biggest gain when he first left Qishan.In the future, Jiang Wei will inherit Zhuge Liang's will and continue to fight against Wei Guo. The three counties changed their banners, and Luoyang was shocked. Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "I have Changying in my hand today, when will I bind the Canglong... Hey, where is Ma Di? Is the street pavilion okay? Don't tell me that Ma Di has made a mistake, please don't."
