Chapter 163 9. Top Intellect Collision

The fierce battle of Shangbei has officially begun.This is Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, two intellectual rivals at the end of the Three Kingdoms period, a historic confrontation. It was Xinji in May of the ninth year of Jianxing. For this battle, the total number of soldiers and horses invested by both sides should exceed 100,000, Zhuge Liang's side should not be less than 70,000, and Sima Yi's side should be more than Zhuge Liang's side.It's a battle, hundreds of thousands of horses gather together, slashing wildly without killing their lives, until the sky is dim and the earth is dark, the sun and the moon are dark.For Jia Xu, the supervisor of the Wei State, this battle was a stimulus beyond his ability to bear.

To be precise, this was not a battle at all, but a brutal massacre.At the beginning of the battle, Zhuge Liang waved a small flag, twisted his army around, and commanded Wei Yan, Gao Xiang, and Wu Ban to move from east to west, from front to back. Wei Jun cut it into small pieces here and there.As a result, the Wei army would not be able to find soldiers, soldiers would not be able to find generals, and the system was crippled, so they could only be slaughtered by Shu soldiers.Fortunately, Sima Yi had warned Guo Huai, Zhang He and others in advance. After discovering this situation, all the generals screamed in unison: "The wind is blowing, scream!"

Tens of thousands of poor Wei Jun were wiped out.There were more than 3,000 skulls just chopped off from the generals of the Wei army.There is no need to count the soldiers, it will scare Wei Guo to death. After a whole day of fierce fighting, Sima Yi finally escaped from the siege, and hurried away with only a few cronies. Zhuge Liang's interesting statistics show that in addition to more than 3,000 general Wei's heads, there are 5,000 sets of armor and 3,100 horned crossbows.Seeing this victory, Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh of relief, please, I always say that I have a false name, try saying it again, and I will kill you.

This battle finally made people see Zhuge Wuhou's war wisdom. No one has matched him before, and no one has surpassed him since.He is that great, although killing people is not a good thing, but in those days, it was too unreliable to say such a thing. For the next month, there was no substantive contact between Wei and Shu.Then Zhuge Liang received a letter from Li Yan, who stayed behind in Hanzhong, saying that the prime minister was asked to withdraw the army because the roads were washed away by the heavy rain and the army rations could not be supplied. Zhuge Liang then withdrew his troops in June, and Sima Yi ordered Zhang He to pursue them. He chased them to the wooden gate, but suddenly there was an ambush, and arrows rained down like rain.

Then Zhuge Liang went back, and was surprised to find that the so-called heavy rain washed away the road was completely unfounded. There was sufficient food and grass in the rear, but Li Yan's transportation was not good enough. He was afraid that Zhuge Liang would criticize him, so he tricked Zhuge Liang back.After Zhuge Liang came back, Li Yan was afraid of punishment, so he reported to Adou that Zhuge Liang had come back by himself in order to lure the enemy deep. Zhuge Liang didn't say much, he gathered all the contradictory letters from Li Yan, called Li Yan, and asked Li Yan to come to a conclusion.Li Yan drooped his head and said, "Prime Minister, I was wrong, criticize me, I will never dare again."

Zhuge Liang sighed and demoted Li Yan to a commoner.Then Zhuge Liang appointed Li Yan's son Li Feng as the general of Zhonglang, and called Li Feng, "You said your father, why is he like this? Back then we took care of our orphans and swore to work together. You have to tell Your father, if you do your job well as a migrant worker, if you perform well, you may return to the leadership team..." From then on, Li Yan dared not hold any resentment towards Zhuge Liang.After Zhuge Liang's death, Li Yanhaotao burst into tears. He will always be a migrant worker, and no one will promote him to the leadership team.

After dealing with Li Yan's urgent report on the military situation, Zhuge Liang devoted himself to preparing for the sixth battle of the Northern Expedition.Last time, he used the high-tech product Wooden Ox, this time, he launched a new product, Liuma. Flowing horse is a kind of boat. The full name is horse flowing in water. The hull is long and narrow, comparable to African canoes. Therefore, the resistance of water is reduced and the speed is extremely fast, which shortens the shipping cycle. The sixth Northern Expedition began again.We know that this is Zhuge Liang's last time.He is so tired.He put his whole life on the block of Wei Guotian.He might not like to do this, but it is impossible for him to return to Chengdu, because the relationship with A Dou is not easy to handle.If he takes too many things, it's obvious that he's just empty-handed.If he takes less work, what does the country want him to do as a prime minister?

He can only walk towards his inevitable fate step by step.He knew this, and so did Sima Yi.So Sima Yi waited for him in Wuzhangyuan. This was a date for two strong men. Be there or be square.
