Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Wang Ling obviously didn't have a good impression of Zhuge Ke, and snorted coldly: "That traitor has returned to Yecheng."

Returning to Yecheng?

Zhuge Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to have a 70% guess about the situation in front of him.

As an insider, you can't risk your life.

Regardless of whether Zhuge Ke returned to Yecheng or went somewhere else, as long as he left the military camp, it was a signal to Zhuge Qiao:
I'll go first, and the rest is up to you.

"Zhuge Ke is not in the military camp, so I feel relieved." Zhuge Qiao pretended to be relieved.

Looking at Zhuge Qiao's "poor" acting skills, Wang Ling couldn't help but feel a little more contempt in his heart: "Zhuge Ke can only gossip, not worth mentioning."

"General Zuo is worried about Sima Yi. Sima Yi is meticulous and suspicious. If time drags on for too long, Sima Yi might notice something is going on."

"Therefore, General Zuo hopes that this will happen as soon as possible."

Zhuge Qiao nodded and promised: "There is no time to lose. I will send a troop tonight to support General Zhang He."

Wang Ling was secretly delighted and bowed his hands in thanks, saying, "Then I will thank you first on behalf of General Zuo."

After Wang Ling left, Jiang Wei entered from outside the tent.

"Bosong, this must be Zhang He's self-torture trick."

"Zhang He fought for Cao Cao for three generations for half his life. How could he surrender to the Han Dynasty just because of a beating?"

"There must be a trick. If we send out troops rashly, we may encounter unexpected events!"

Jiang Wei didn't believe a word Wang Ling said.

Zhang He's self-torture trick was even more clumsy than Huang Gai's in the past, and could be seen through at a glance.

Zhuge Qiao's lips curled up slightly: "Don't worry, brother."

"Whether it was a self-torture tactic or not is not important; what is important is how I would react when I learned that Zhang He used the self-torture tactic."

"Zhang He lost the vanguard camp and was caned by Cao Rui as a military punishment when he returned."

"Now he is using a self-torture trick to lure me. His purpose is only one: Zhang He hopes that I will send troops out of the city!"

Jiang Wei frowned: "With the current military strength of Baima City, there is no need to play such a trick on Zhang He."

"Bosong, why are you suddenly interested in this kind of trick again?"

Jiang Wei was very clear about Zhuge Qiao and Fa Zheng's tactical deductions.

The power comparison between the two sides is almost obvious, and there is no need to play any tricks.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Just fight head-on in the manner of a decisive battle between large armies!

Therefore, Jiang Wei was quite puzzled about Zhuge Qiao's sudden intention to play tricks on Zhang He.

Zhuge Qiao chuckled: "It can be considered an appetizer before the main meal."

"Originally, I just made a few insignificant moves against the Pseudo-Wei, but I didn't expect that these moves would have such a good effect."

"Even if we lose tonight, it will not affect my deployment on the front battlefield."

"But if I win, it might take Cao Cao eight years to pacify the north, but I might not even need half the time."

Seeing that Zhuge Qiao was confident, Jiang Wei said, "Since it won't affect your deployment on the front battlefield, you have to use the idle troops."

"I'll go there myself."

Zhuge Qiao smiled and said, "Since you are interested, I will trouble you."

After instructing Jiang Wei on the specific plan, Zhuge Qiao gave Jiang Wei the order to mobilize troops.

Jiang Wei did not delay either. After receiving the military order, he led his troops out of the city.

During this period, Wang Ling also returned to the camp and reported the mission to Zhang He.

"Just as General Zuo expected, although Zhuge Qiao was cautious in deploying his troops, his long-term victories made him arrogant."

"If it were someone else, they would definitely look down on General Zuo's self-torture tactics."

"But Zhuge Qiao is interested in this!"

"It's just that Zhuge Qiao's acting is too poor. He clearly saw through the self-torture tactic, but he still pretended to ask if Zhuge Ke was in the military camp."

"After learning that Zhuge Ke was not in the military camp, he pretended to be relieved, as if he was afraid that I would suspect him."

"Since ancient times, arrogance has been the most taboo in military operations. Zhuge Qiao has already shown the signs of defeat."

"From now on, we just need to follow the plan and count out Zhuge Qiao, and we can win this game!"

Wang Ling was quite proud.

Zhuge Qiao's reputation was so great that it overshadowed even a great man like Wang Ling.

Using one person's strength to suppress all the heroes in the world is bound to cause jealousy and dissatisfaction.

There are countless heroes of the Great Wei like Wang Ling in the Pseudo-Wei who want to become famous by stepping on Zhuge Qiao's corpse!

Zhang He listened quietly to Wang Ling's report with a normal expression.

Under Zhang He's command, generals such as Sima Shi, Wang Ji, Xu Zhi, Hu Zun, Wang Jing, Wen Qin, Chen Tai, Zhuge Dan, and Zhuge Xu all looked happy.

Although Zhang He lost the vanguard camp, the generals were almost unanimous in their views:

If Zhang Xiong had not left the camp without permission, Zhang He would not have been defeated by Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and Wang Ping.

Zhang He lost that battle so unfairly!

Although they had made many preparations, their camp was still hijacked by Zhang Fei.

It's different now.

Zhang Xiong was sent back to Yecheng, and Zhang He was beaten with a stick to enforce military law.

Now, those who stay with Zhang He are all smart people who "have intelligence, understand military tactics, and abide by military laws"!
If the military orders are consistent, are you still afraid of being defeated by Zhuge Qiao?

After hearing Wang Ling's report, Zhuge Dan took the lead and asked: "General, I am willing to be the bait for the vanguard!"

Zhuge Dan, one of the protagonists of the three rebellions in Huainan in later generations and known as the dog among the dragons, tigers and dogs of the Zhuge family, is still a young man under 30 years old.

Although they are from the same clan, Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Ke and Zhuge Qiao are just from the same clan.

This relationship has long faded beyond the five degrees of mourning.

The reason why Zhuge Dan and Zhuge Xu were on the list was because Zhuge Ke believed that Zhuge Dan and Zhuge Xu were completely unworthy of being "Langya Zhuges".

If Zhuge Qiao were to draw up the list, he might have spared Zhuge Dan and Zhuge Xu for the sake of their being from the same clan.

However, the person who drew up the list was Zhuge Ke, who was even more ruthless and cruel than Zhuge Qiao.

A conspiracy requires sacrificial pawns.

Zhuge Dan and Zhuge Xu, who betrayed the Zhuge clan of Langya, are the most suitable pawns to be abandoned!

It was precisely because the names of Zhuge Dan and Zhuge Xu were on the list that Zhang He believed in it without a doubt.

after all.

Zhuge Ke was willing to sacrifice his own family for the sake of Cao Rui, so how could he have an affair with Zhuge Qiao?

Zhang He's eyes were slightly cold.

These wealthy families in front of us are all very capable!
However, having strong abilities does not mean that one will be on the same page with Cao Rui.

Those who are not on the same page with Cao Rui are Zhang He's enemies.

"Since Gongxiu has the courage, you will be the forward bait."

"If you can come back alive, you will be the first to achieve the victory in this battle."

Zhang He spoke calmly, concealing his true thoughts. Zhuge Dan asked for death on his own initiative, so how could Zhang He try to persuade him?

Zhuge Dan said with a laugh, "Any extraordinary achievement or great merit can only be achieved by not fearing death."

"The more dangerous the mission, the greater the credit. Everyone, I, Zhuge Dan, will definitely take the credit!"

Zhang He did not conceal his plan from his generals.

Not only that, the specific details of the plan were also carefully deduced and discussed with the generals, with the main focus being "sincerity of heart".

This is also the reason why Zhang He could make all the generals obey his orders willingly.

Seeing that Zhuge Dan had grabbed the most dangerous task, the generals could no longer hold back.

The tasks of making great contributions are limited, and the abilities of the generals are almost the same. Whoever grabs the task first gets it.

Wang Ji, Xu Zhi, Hu Zun, Wang Jing, Wen Qin, Chen Tai, and Zhuge Xu quickly divided up the tasks that could achieve great merit, and the remaining small tasks were distributed to others. Sima Shi also grabbed a task that could achieve great merit.

In view of Sima Yi's teachings, Sima Shi did not show too much excitement, but secretly vowed to perform well in this mission.

If the Sima family can gain Cao Rui's appreciation after the success, they can rest assured in the Wei Dynasty.

That night.

A group of soldiers marched silently on the road and arrived at the location agreed upon by both parties. It was Zhuge Qiao's sworn brother, General Jiang Wei of Zuo Han.

"I didn't expect that General Jiang would come to raid the camp in person. We are so lucky."

"I heard that General Jiang and General Zhuge are sworn brothers. I am also from the Zhuge clan of Langya. My humble name is Dan."

"Please take good care of me in the future."

Zhuge Dan tried to get close to Jiang Wei and was extremely delighted.

If we kill other Han generals tonight, at most it will only dampen the morale of the Han soldiers.

If Jiang Wei is killed tonight, it will definitely anger Zhuge Qiao!

If the commander-in-chief is angered, he will make mistakes in commanding his troops.

After all, this person is not a machine. As a human being, he has seven emotions and six desires.

Military strategies and tricks often target human nature!
"I often hear Bosong mention that some of the outstanding people of the Langya Zhuge clan fled to the north due to the war."

"Since you are from the same clan as Bosong, you are also my brother."

"Since General Zuo sent you here, I believe everything is ready."

Jiang Wei also cooperated and tried to get close to Zhuge Dan.

Both sides are gossiping and flattering each other with evil intentions.

Zhuge Dan smiled and said, "In order to appease the troops, Cao Rui played chess with General Zuo in the camp tonight."

"As long as General Jiang arrives, Cao Rui can be captured alive."

"Cao Cao once established a military law that if a general in the army was taken hostage, the hostage could be shot together with him."

"But if it was Cao Rui who was captured, I'm sure no one would dare to shoot him to death."

"Cao Rui's eldest and second sons died young, and his youngest son is still ignorant. If Cao Rui is captured, this battle won't have to be fought."

Jiang Wei laughed: "If this is true, it will be a blessing for the Han Dynasty! General Zhuge, please lead the way!"

Zhuge Dan sneered in his heart and secretly despised Jiang Wei.

Zhuge Dan originally thought that Jiang Wei would let Zhuge Dan go with him because he was suspicious of the truth, and if Zhuge Dan lied, he would kill him.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wei directly asked Zhuge Dan to lead the way!

This means that Zhuge Dan can carry out this most dangerous mission without any injury!

"Ha ha!"

"Jiang Wei is nothing more than that!"

"After this battle, I, Zhuge Dan, will become famous all over the world!"

As both were from the Zhuge clan of Langya, Zhuge Dan was quite dissatisfied with Zhuge Qiao.

Although he is about the same age as Zhuge Qiao, in terms of seniority, Zhuge Dan is of the same generation as Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin.

In Zhuge Dan's eyes, Zhuge Qiao is just a junior!
How can the younger generation be better than the elders!
That's disrespectful!

Seeing Zhuge Dan go to the front army, Jiang Wei's eyes became cold and he was full of disdain in his heart.

Although both of them are from the Zhuge clan of Langya, Zhuge Dan is much worse than Bosong.

I just played a simple trick and revealed Zhuge Dan's cowardice and fear of death.

He didn't even have the courage or wisdom to sacrifice his life, yet he dared to pretend to surrender in front of Bosong.

Although he despised him, Jiang Wei did not take it lightly, but secretly ordered his soldiers to be on alert.

After walking about three miles, Jiang Wei ordered the troops to stop.

Zhuge Dan rode back and asked, "General Jiang, why are you standing still?"

Jiang Wei glanced at the terrain ahead, raised the Zhuge Crossbow with lightning speed, and shot Zhuge Dan to death in front of his astonished eyes.

Zhuge Dan fell down with his eyes open.

"Kill Wei Gou!"

Jiang Wei shot Zhuge Dan to death and shouted loudly.

The change was too sudden!
Zhuge Dan's soldiers had no time to react and Jiang Wei ordered them to be shot to death.

And this moment.

Zhuge Xu, who was lying in ambush in front, was also stunned.

Zhuge Dan died just like that?
What a cruel Han general!
After a moment, Zhuge Xu stood up and shouted, "Kill the Han dogs!"

Zhuge Dan was originally assigned the most dangerous mission, so it was reasonable for him to be ambushed and killed by Jiang Wei.

Zhuge Xu, who had no time to mourn Zhuge Dan, was worried that Jiang Wei would escape, so he dared not continue to hide.

The whistle arrows broke through the air.

Sima Shi, Hu Zun, Wang Jing, Wen Qin, Chen Tai and other generals received the signal and attacked Jiang Wei from all directions.

"Array up!"

Jiang Wei curled his lips, full of sarcasm towards Zhuge Xu who was coming to kill him and the whistling arrows that broke through the air.

Not only did they not retreat, but they lined up in battle array on the spot.

The formation is exactly the Eight Diagrams Formation learned from Zhuge Liang!

When he was in Longyou in the past, Jiang Wei used the Eight Diagrams Formation to fight Meng Da.

After many years, Jiang Wei's practice and application of the Eight Diagrams Formation had reached perfection, and even Zhuge Liang, the creator of the formation, was amazed.

Zhuge Qiao let Jiang Wei carry out the mission because he knew very well that Jiang Wei and his troops, who had been fighting with Jiang Wei for a long time, had strong enough ability to defend themselves in the wild!

"If Bo Song were here, he would probably say: Not only did the enemy not surrender, but they even dared to shoot arrows at me."

Jiang Wei stood in the formation, looking at the Wei soldiers rushing towards him from all directions, and instead of panicking, he smiled.

“They actually lined up on the spot?”

Generals like Sima Shi, Hu Zun, Wang Jing, Wen Qin, Chen Tai, and Zhuge Xu who came to encircle and attack were all surprised.

Normally, Jiang Wei would choose to withdraw his troops after realizing there was an ambush here.

But Jiang Wei not only did not withdraw his troops, but instead formed his battle line on the spot!
"Something's wrong!"

Sima Shi slowed down.

Sima Shi's intuition told him that something was a little strange tonight.

Sima Shi did not doubt Zhang He, but he felt that Zhang He had overlooked the possibility that Jiang Wei would line up his troops on the spot to meet the enemy.

Although generals such as Hu Zun, Wang Jing, Wen Qin, Chen Tai, and Zhuge Xu were also surprised by Jiang Wei's response, they did not think as much as Sima Shi.

His military strength is several times that of Jiang Wei's. Would he still be afraid of Jiang Wei?

The cry of killing rang out.

The Han and Wei armies fought under the moonlight.

Although the Wei army had more soldiers and generals, Jiang Wei had the Eight Formations Diagram to rely on, making it difficult for the Wei army to break through in a short period of time.

After hesitating for a moment, Sima Shi also joined the siege of Jiang Wei.

If Jiang Wei escaped because of Sima Shi's negligence, the generals would not forgive Sima Shi just because he was Sima Yi's son.

"General Zuo is personally ambushing troops behind us, so we can handle any unexpected events."

"The most urgent task is to lure Zhuge Qiao's ambush troops out while encircling and killing the Han generals!"

Sima Shi waved his spear and shouted, commanding his soldiers to charge.

And on the other side.

Wang Ji hurried to Zhang He and said, "General, the Han army's ambush has appeared. It's Zhang Fei who is coming!" (End of this chapter)
