Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 698: Zhuge Kongming takes action again, going all out to merge the states and kill the Marquis of Xia

Sima Yi's actions were beyond Xu Shu's expectations, and his plan was far more than that.

Simply blocking Xu Shu can only prevent the situation from further erosion, but if you want to make the situation better, you must force Xu Shu out.

Therefore, after Sima Yi stabilized the battle situation, he immediately sent a message to Luoyang.

At this time, Sima Yi did not know the situation in the DPRK and Cao Pi's situation. On the one hand, he just asked for forgiveness, and on the other hand, he asked the court to send troops to garrison Hongnong directly.

They also attacked Xu Shu's rear from Hongnong, forcing him to evacuate from Yingchuan and return to Nanyang County.

As for whether the imperial court can still mobilize troops and horses.
Sima Yi said of course he could, but he couldn't give this order.

After handling this matter, Sima Yi abandoned all external information and squatted in the ring with Xu Shu in Yingchuan.

On the other side, Zhuge Liang of Bingzhou also discovered Sima Yi's evacuation.

But even if he discovered it, Zhuge Liang was powerless.

No matter how great the victory, Zhuge Liang could not change the fact that he, Ma Chao and all the cavalry together only had more than [-] troops.

He was just a diversion in this battle.

Bingzhou has tens of thousands of troops accumulated all year round. Even if this number cannot defeat him, it can still defend him.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang discovered that Sima Yi had secretly evacuated, and also guessed that he was going to Yingchuan to disrupt Xu Shu's major event, but there was nothing he could do.

All he could do was how to make amends from Bingzhou after Xu Shu was interrupted.
"Yuan Zhi has opened up a situation in Yuzhou. If he continues to let it go, the entire Yuzhou will be completely corrupted.

And Sima Yi also knew that if the situation in Yuzhou and Xuzhou was left unchecked, something big would happen, and he had to put down the rebellion quickly.

The Hebei army was held back by Shi Yuan, and Cao Zhen was unable to retreat. Although the land of Zang Ba and Qingxu was in chaos, it might not be an opportunity for the Cao family.

The only way to force Yuanzhi to retreat is to station troops and horses from Hongnong to force him to withdraw. "

Zhuge Liang looked at the map in front of him, and then thought about the same idea as Sima Yi. At the same time, he also thought about the soldiers and horses that Sima Yi was waiting for.

"Go and invite Meng Qi!"

"Don't beat the drum to gather the generals!"

Following Zhuge Liang's order, the Han army, which had been silent for a while, moved again.

Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang De, Dong Zhong, Liu Yinjufu and others under Zhuge Liang immediately came forward and bowed to Zhuge Liang.

"Everyone, it's time for me to make great achievements!"

In the autumn of the seventh year of Zhang Wu, a transfer order from Luoyang was sent directly to Xiahou Shang's army in Shangdang, Bingzhou.

At the same time, an order was also passed into Zhang He's hands.

After the two generals of Cao Wei saw the orders in their hands, their expressions immediately changed.

However, after the brief surprise, they did not hesitate for a moment and immediately began to act according to Luoyang's orders.

A large number of Cao's troops began to secretly mobilize, and Xiahou Shang also directly led his troops to advance, as if he wanted to fight Zhuge Liang.

According to Xia Houshang's thinking, although they continue to retreat, they still have an advantage in terms of military strength, and Zhuge Liang has just occupied a lot of Bingzhou land.

There are still several Xiongnu tribes that need to be appeased. He needs a large number of troops and time to stabilize Taiyuan County and several Xiongnu tribes.

Therefore, in Xiahou Shang's opinion, Zhuge Liang would definitely treat him with caution after seeing him marching, right?
"kill!"

"Behead Xiahou Shang and conquer Bingzhou!"

"Kill over, kill!" When Xiahou Shang led his troops and just started to advance, what they saw was not the cautious Han army, but one group after another that had been prepared.

The enemy troops were charging directly towards him.

"Xia Houshang, come here and die!"

General Ma Chao, the hussar general of the Han Dynasty, was the first to appear. The BMW on his crotch was one of the best in the entire Han Dynasty.

The horse galloped directly towards Xiahou Shang.

Liu Yinju, Pang De, Ma Dai and others appeared from all directions.

Although Xia Houshang didn't understand what was happening at this moment, he knew that if he didn't run, he would never have the chance to run again in his life.

"Retreat!" Xiahou Shang's shrill roar entered the battlefield, and then he began to flee in panic while Ma Chao and others were chasing him.

But it was too late for Xiahou Shang to evacuate at this time. Not only was he inexplicably surrounded by the Han army, but he was only discovered after he evacuated.

There were already soldiers and horses rushing over first, and the Bingzhou army was now leaderless. If he could run away in such a mess again.

It will definitely lead to mistakes in the command of the army, and then allow Zhuge Liang to seize the opportunity.

In this situation, Xia Houshang could no longer imagine what kind of situation his armies would face if Zhuge Liang seized the opportunity.

"General." At this time, the general beside him also rushed over, "General, leave quickly, we will stop that Ma Chao!"

This sentence reached Xiahou Shang's ears, and he suddenly realized that Ma Chao was already chasing him.

He was about to fight with him.

The soldiers and horses he brought out were now almost completely defeated. Faced with this sudden ambush and encirclement, Xiahou Shang's soldiers and horses were completely unable to cope with it.

Seeing that the defeat was certain, Xia Houshang, who was running away in embarrassment, finally understood.

He finally figured out some things, why Sima Yi would directly ask for orders to leave, why he left forcefully regardless of his own objections, and why he didn't even care that he would file a memorial to impeach him.

At the same time, Xiahou Shang also understood why the DPRK suddenly issued an order asking him and Zhang He to immediately lead their troops to evacuate Hedong and Bingzhou.

Then he guarded the two fortresses of Jiguan and Huguan, and set up camps in Wangwu Mountain and other places to block the access roads.
"Survive with a broken arm. It turns out you have to survive with a broken arm."

At this moment, Xiahou Shang thought about many things and made his own decision.

He ignored the followers who were about to be strangled behind him and rushed forward at full speed. He wanted to get back to the army before Zhuge Liang's sudden attack.

"Guo Huai and Wang Ling listen to the order!" Xia Houshang, who had just returned to the army, immediately found Guo and Wang. "Guo Huai immediately led the army back to Huguan, and Wang Ling went to Hedong to support General Zhang He's evacuation!

You two will temporarily take over command of the army!

He ordered Ke Bineng and other Xianbei tribes to temporarily stay in Hanoi County to await His Majesty's orders.

And control the Xianbei tribe! "

After leaving these orders, Xiahou Shang directly drew the sword from his waist, looked at the Han army charging towards them again, and let out his last roar.

"Commanders, follow me to meet the enemy!"

In the autumn of the seventh year of Zhang Wu, Zhuge Liang saw through Cao Wei's intention to evacuate Bingzhou and divert his army, and unexpectedly set up an ambush.

Ma Chao's formation killed Xia Houshang, the commander of Cao's army, and Zhuge Liang advanced again, directly forcing back Cao Wei's army and occupying Shangdang County in Bingzhou.

Since then, except for Huguan, the entire territory of Bingzhou has fallen into the hands of the Han Dynasty.
