Great Wei Nengchen

The green bamboo letter box was sealed with wax oil, and after it was roasted with a candle, a letter was taken out from it, with only eight words on it: "The prime minister will return soon, fear of changes!" '

The eight words, but like eight thunderbolts, hit Zhuge Liang's heart so hard that his hands trembled violently, and the letter paper fell to the ground.

Rumors have spread in the rear recently, and people are panicking, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. The word "birth change" obviously refers to some people trying to launch a coup to change the leadership core of the Shuhan Group. This is to rebel!

Food and grass are not enough, and people's hearts are unstable. At this point, Zhuge Liang has only two choices:

One is to abandon the Northern Expedition and lead the troops back to Chengdu to stabilize the Shuhan regime and his position as prime minister. However, after this huge setback, it will be difficult to think about the second Northern Expedition!

The second is a quick decision. As long as Dingjun Mountain can be taken down, those rumors can be eliminated, and at the same time, the morale of the Shu Han army and people can be boosted, and Zhuge Liang's political status will be stabilized!

Otherwise, if the confrontation continues like this, it will be difficult to save more than a dozen people, and the Shu Han regime will also be destroyed. Under such huge pressure, no matter how cautious people are, they will have to fight it out!

"All the generals listened to the order: Start feeding the soldiers, recharge your energy, and attack Dingjun Mountain in five days, and fight Cao Jun to the death!"

"promise!"

Chapter 1667 Decisive battle at Dingjun Mountain! (two)

Sun Tzu said: Soldiers are deceitful.

Therefore, what can be shown is not possible, what is used can be shown not to be used, what is close can be shown to be far, and what is far can be shown to be near.To lure them by profit, to take them in disorder...to attack those who are unprepared, to catch them by surprise.The victory of this military strategist cannot be passed on first!

Zhuge Liang is also a person who is familiar with military books, and he knows that before the decisive battle, he must implement some tactical deceptions to increase the final chance of winning, not only deceiving the enemy, but also deceiving his own people!

The first step is to send people to spread the word in the big camp, saying that the support from the rear has arrived, with a total of 10 horses, millions of grains and grass, and countless military supplies!

In order to show the truth, Zhuge Liang asked the new [-] soldiers to carry the food load, sneak out of the camp at night, and enter the camp with great fanfare during the day. A steady stream of illusions!

They also sent people to build a large area of ​​new camps around Xinghan City. Every day, there was smoke from the kitchen and drums and horns, as if there were thousands of troops stationed there!

The soldiers of the Shu army did not know the truth, but only saw soldiers, horses, and grain carts constantly responding. The original two meals a day became three meals a day. The arrival, suddenly morale boosted!

The second step is to send civil servants and some old and weak soldiers to find places with sufficient water and fertile land near the camp, and start measuring and planning and digging channels!

They also brought some cattle, seeds, and agricultural tools, put on a self-sufficient posture of farming food, and deliberately let the rangers of the Wei army see it!

In this way, Xiao Xuan and Deng Ai will definitely think that if the Shu army is to take root here, if the confrontation continues for a long time, there will be no decisive battle in the short term, so they will definitely relax their vigilance!

At the same time, Zhuge Liang and the civil servants and generals discussed the attack plan day and night. Every detail had to be repeatedly deliberated and deduced on the sand table, trying to make sure that there were no omissions!

In addition, Zhuge Liang dared to make the Northern Expedition to fight against the powerful Wei army. In addition to strategy and tactics, he still had several killer tricks, specifically, several big killers!

In the previous battles, it has not been exposed, in order to give Wei Jun a surprise in the decisive battle, so as to receive the best results!

…………

Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and it is expected that the day of the decisive battle will arrive!

"Dinner's on!--Dinner's on!"

"Great, I'm eating meat again today, it's a few yuan more than usual, and the bread is bigger!"

"New boys, eat as much as you can, you may not be able to eat in the future!"

"Uncle, why can't I eat it in the future?"

"Stupid boys, the guys who eat are almost gone, how will you eat in the future?"

During the daytime, everything in the Micangshan camp was normal. The soldiers practiced their formations, strengthened the barriers, and took advantage of the good weather to dry things and do what they should do every day!

If there is anything special, it is an extra meal today, which is very rich. You can eat as much bread, fatty meat, and dry rice as you want, and each person is given three taels of sorghum wine!

During the war, wine is a rare good thing. You can only drink a little during the celebration banquet, but the Shu army has never won a single battle in the Northern Expedition, so naturally you can’t drink wine. I didn’t expect that there will be meat and wine today , The soldiers were very happy to eat and drink!

However, some veterans who have been on the battlefield looked extremely dignified. After eating and drinking, some took off their armor, checked for damage, and repaired it meticulously; Polished again and again!

Anyone who has fought in the war knows that military rations are very precious, and they should be used sparingly as much as possible. It is good to have two meals of gruel. This kind of food is eaten four times a day, and there is meat in every meal, which is called "paying soldiers". It is the prelude to a big battle and a fierce battle!

As for drinking, in addition to the celebration wine, there is also a decapitation wine!

Sure enough, at dusk, the generals began to patrol the camp, and ordered the soldiers to go back to their tents to rest and get a good night's sleep, but no one was allowed to take off their armor, and they had to hold their weapons in their hands--if you don't take off your armor, you can't take off your armor. Stay on the saddle!

A murderous spirit quickly spread in the camp, and now even the recruits have realized that there is going to be a big battle, probably tonight, and after this fierce battle, I don't know how many people will die Well, will there be yourself in it?

The soldiers were trembling, the generals were cautious, and the one with the greatest mental pressure was the commander-in-chief of this army!

At night, under the service of two boys, Zhuge Liang drank two bowls of rice porridge, then took a bath and washed, changed into a new attire, Jinxian crown, thin cicada clothes, gray crane cloak, and a goose feather fan in his hand!

Although commanding thousands of troops, Zhuge Liang considered himself a minister, not a general, and he believed in the words of the sages: a good soldier is an unknown weapon, and the sage has to use it as a last resort!

Therefore, when fighting, we still adhere to the principle of three nos: neither wearing armor, not holding weapons, and not killing creatures with our own hands!

After bathing and changing clothes, Zhuge Liang did not go to the big tent of the Chinese army, but returned to his sleeping tent, a small tent made of bamboo and wood, surrounded by light gauze, which is breathable and cool, very suitable for living in hot summer!

The furnishings in the sleeping tent are simple, except for a large pile of official documents and books, there are only some daily necessities, and there is no gold and jade, which is the level of a middle-class family. It is hard to believe that the majestic Prime Minister of Shu Han lives in such an environment !

This is also one of Zhuge Liang's pursuits, that is, when he dies, he will not let there be surplus money on the inside and gain money on the outside, and strive to come clean and leave clean!

There is also an altar in one corner of the sleeping tent, on which various sacrifices are placed, and there are two butter lamps, and in the middle is a tablet: the tablet of the Great Han Xianzhaolie King!

"When the king was dying, the entrusted ministers took care of his loneliness. Since he was appointed, he has been loyal and assisted the young master. He has devoted himself to managing the state affairs. He dare not slack off in the slightest, lest he will lose face to see the king in the future!

Therefore, he did not hesitate to bear the infamy, and before the mourning period was over, he personally led [-] athletes to the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, in order to conquer the Central Plains, rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, and fulfill the last wish of the King!

Unexpectedly, Cao's army defended against danger, so that the army was trapped in front of Dingjun Mountain. It has been unable to advance an inch for two months. Now that the food and grass are approaching, and the backup cannot continue, the only way to take the risk is to send troops to fight the enemy to the death!

This battle is extremely dangerous, and I hope that the Lord's spirit in the sky can give the minister a clear indication of whether this battle will be good or bad? "

Zhuge Liang knelt in front of the spirit tablet, prayed devoutly, then looked at the two dancing flames, and fell into deep thought...

Although according to Ma Di's strategy, he decided to dispatch the whole army tonight, and Fo Xiao sneaked into Cao Ying and broke through the defense line of Dingjun Mountain, but Zhuge Liang was not sure whether he could win this battle.

Xiao Yi's eldest son and high-ranking apprentice are by no means reckless, would they deliberately show their flaws and lead their own army to attack, but secretly set up a net?

Taking a step back, even if the Cao army did not ambush, with its strong defense line, sufficient food and grass, plus 12 elite troops, can the [-] Shu army gnaw down this hard bone?

These 10 horses are half of the Shu Han family. If they are defeated, or suffer heavy losses, the consequences will be unimaginable. But if they don’t fight immediately, the food and grass in the camp will be exhausted, and they can only return in vain. All the previous efforts have been exhausted. Go for it!

…………

After thinking about it, Zhuge Liang couldn't make up his mind, so he decided to ask God's will, and he didn't need copper coins, tortoise shells, wormwood, etc., and just bet on the two butter lamps in front of him!

Before the official dispatch of troops, if the two lights are always on, it indicates that the Shu army has won a complete victory in this battle and successfully captured Dingjun Mountain!

If one oil lamp is extinguished and the other is not extinguished, it means that the battle will not be won or lost, and the Wei and Shu armies will end in a draw!

If both lights were off, it would be bad luck, and I immediately canceled the plan to send troops!
