Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 538 Zhuge Liang Vs Sima Yi
Wuzhangyuan, the place where Zhuge Liang died in history, has now become a place where destiny confronts each other.

In the fateful duel, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, there is no Liu Ye, and there is no Guo Yi.

The Qiang cavalry were too strong, so Liu Ye had to divide his troops to block the attack, otherwise, once the enemy formed a siege, even if they were undefeated, they would never have a chance to win.Therefore, Liu Ye divided his troops to stop the Qiang soldiers.

Although Liangzhou's cavalry is good, if there is no one who leads the army, it will be nothing but a mess, and it will not be a climate.Therefore, Guo Yi, who also stayed in Chang'an, took the initiative to invite troops to join the cavalry.He was accompanied by Ma Dai, without Ma Dai, Guo Yi would not be able to command Qiang cavalry at all.

Qiang riders were rebellious and rebellious, and only obeyed Ma Chao's orders, but Guo Yi was not as good as Guo Jia after all, and he had no way to make them submit.

Although Liu Ye was very intelligent, he didn't have many soldiers and horses, and he was not an opponent of the Xiliang iron cavalry, so he lost several battles as soon as he fought, there was no suspense at all.Liu Ye also plotted one after another, but with Guo Yi's cooperation and the absolute strength of the iron cavalry, it was impossible for him to win.

Even if they win one game or two, it's just a small victory, and it can't change the situation of the battle.

In this way, Liu Ye was forced to retreat, and he was about to return to Wuzhangyuan, and was encircled by the Wei army.But at this moment, Liu Ye suddenly had an idea and thought of a strategy to deal with the enemy.

His strategy is really simple, but it is relying on the city to defend itself, but it is different from ordinary relying on the city to defend itself, because it is useless to simply stick to the city, he has tried it before.

This time, he dispatched ten catapults, all of which were placed at the head of the city, five for long-distance throws and five for short-range throws.In this way, as soon as the Xiliang iron cavalry attacked, they were immediately hit by the catapults. Not to mention, the siege equipment defended the city, and the effect was not bad.

Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried, because he knew that this trick would not take long, and the enemy would definitely crack it soon.In view of this, he was very anxious about the situation on Zhuge Liang's side, and only hoped that Zhuge Liang could defeat the enemy, otherwise the move to go out of Shu would be a waste of all previous efforts!

Zhuge Liang was also very distressed.At the beginning, the Wei army was tyrannical and attacked almost every day, so he had to shrink his troops.Of course, he secretly thought of many strategies, and only waited for the opportunity to come and implement them.

The opportunity still came, Sima Yi really underestimated Zhuge Liang, so he paid the price for his actions.Zhuge Liang dispatched a surprise army and secretly attacked Sima Yi's logistics team.Of course, such means cannot hide Sima Yi.

When Sima Yi deduced it through all the clues, he sneered and said: "Zhuge Liang is nothing more than that, come here, just follow the plan and defeat Liu Jun with me tomorrow."

It turned out that what Zhuge Liang did was to attack Sima Yi's logistics troops on the surface, but secretly he wanted to burn the Wei army's logistics.

The first plan can be called a perfect completion.

Sima Yi didn't fly into a rage, not even angry, he just smiled calmly: "It seems that I underestimated the enemy, alright, this will be interesting."

In the second plan, Zhuge Liang failed, but Sima Yi didn't take advantage of it either, and the two fought equally.Immediately afterwards, before Zhuge Liang could make a move, Sima Yi took the lead.

Sima Yi's plan failed because Zhuge Liang was too cautious and Sima Yi was too hasty.Although Zhuge Liang won, it was only a small victory.However, Sima Yi didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would come up with the third plan immediately after, and the fourth plan followed the third plan in succession without giving Sima Yi any time to react.

Using these two tactics together, Sima Yi was finally defeated, making Sima Yi have to retreat.Of course, it is impossible for him to return to Chang'an.

In any case, after this battle, the two sides returned to both ends of the balance.As it should be, Liu Ye's crisis was also resolved.

Naturally, Zhuge Liang refused to stop there, so he repeatedly attacked the Wei army's camp, but Sima Yi did not go out to fight, making him unable to advance or retreat.

There was nothing to do, so Zhuge Liang had no choice but to send some sets of women's clothes, hoping to humiliate Sima Yi and arouse Sima Yi.

When Sima Yi received the clothes, he was indeed furious, but soon calmed down, and asked the messenger.The emissary didn't know why, so he told the truth. Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang was not ill this time.

I don't know if he was full of energy, Zhuge Liang saw that Sima Yi didn't come back, so he asked the envoy unwillingly, asking the envoy to tell what he saw and heard in the Wei army camp.

The envoy didn't take it seriously, and told Zhuge Liang everything he saw and heard, even if Sima Yi asked him about it, he also told Zhuge Liang in detail.

Zhuge Liang didn't take it seriously at first, but later contacted the messenger several times, and the messenger was also questioned, which made him unconsciously think of a trick to lure the enemy.

When he thought of it, Zhuge Liang quickly ordered the envoy, if Sima Yi asked, he would say that the military division came in to eat very little, and he went to bed very late, and he often coughed during the day.

Although the envoy didn't understand, but when Sima Yi asked again, he followed Zhuge Liang's instructions.

When Sima Yi heard the words, he pondered inwardly, and then he was overjoyed: Zhuge Liang did everything by himself, and his body must have been exhausted. If he is really unbearable, this is a good time for me to fight back.

Zhuge Liang was still young at this time, so Sima Yi didn't think about it.But the following series of news, such as Zhuge Liang's cough became worse, rumors in the army said that the military commander's life is not long, and so on.

Under the bombardment of all kinds of news, and Zhuge Liang's secret funeral scene, Sima Yi was really fooled.I have to say that there is really no trace of Zhuge Liang's antelope hanging horns!

Sima Yi was also cautious and confirmed in every possible way, but he didn't send troops directly, but attacked tentatively.During this attack, Zhuge Liang suddenly appeared in a chariot, with a feather fan and a scarf, very coquettish.Sima Yi was startled at first, and then laughed triumphantly: "Haha, Zhuge Kongming, I knew you were cheating death."

Satisfied, Sima Yi immediately withdrew his troops.

However, Liu Jun was very strange in the next few days, he did not attack, and even Zhuge Liang did not appear, as if he had never been seen through by Sima Yi.

Sima Yi realized that something was wrong, and immediately sent scouts to investigate, and he even watched Liu Jun's camp with his eyes out.After observing for several days, one evening, Sima Yi's face suddenly changed, "No, it seems that Zhuge Liang is really dead!"

The reason for this judgment is that he found that the smoke from cooking in Liu Jun's camp had increased a lot.Obviously, isn't this a sign of a secret withdrawal?

If it is someone else, they must think that the enemy's army is increasing troops, so Sima Yi thinks it is reducing troops and increasing stoves.He believed that this must be Zhuge Liang's last plan, trying to deceive him.

"Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang, you underestimate me, Sima Yi." Sima Yi looked at the smoke and said with a sneer, "However, you are so powerful that you actually convinced me that you were cheating your death."
