Yu Yi said: "Zhao Yun and the prime minister are going to conquer the barbarian king Meng Huo. Ma Chao is guarding the border and I'm afraid they can't get away." Qin Mi bowed and said: "Selection by force is different from literature. If there is no general with strong martial arts in command, I’m afraid it will be difficult to select real talents.”

After hearing this, Yu Yi nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, but let me think about it again!"

After Qin Mi left, Zhang Nu walked up to Yu Yi and said with a smile: "The martial arts selection sounds very interesting. Can you let me participate?"

Yu Yi touched Zhang Nu's face and said with a smile: "If you really want to find someone to compete with, when Huang Shumin or Li Fei come back, they will be very powerful opponents."

After hearing this, Ms. Zhang was very excited. She was looking forward to this day and rushed into the school field to continue training.

Yu Yi looked at Zhang Nv's back and sighed, saying: "This Zhang Nv has the appearance and figure of a lolita, but she has inherited her father Zhang Fei's aggressiveness and martial arts. It's really distressing."

But he said that Yongkai heard that Prime Minister Kong Ming personally led an army of 500,000 people, and immediately discussed the response strategy with Gaoding and Zhu Bao. The troops were divided into three groups, with Gaoding in the middle, Yongkai on the left, and Zhu Bao on the right. The soldiers and horses each came to fight with fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses.

The Haute Couture sent E Huan as the vanguard. E Huan was not from the Central Plains. He was equivalent to a strange man from the current ethnic minorities. He was nine feet long and had a very ugly face. Most people would be afraid of him after seeing it. He used a small square halberd. The structure of this weapon is similar to Fang Tian's painted halberd, but it is not as long as Fang Tian's painted halberd. At the same time, the material is not of the same grade. It has the courage that no man can match. After receiving the order, he left Dazhai with his troops to fight. Shu army.

Kongming led his army to the border of Yizhou and sent the vanguard Wei Yan and his lieutenants Zhang Yi and Wang Ping to enter the border. He happened to encounter E Huan's army and horses. The two formations were facing each other. Wei Yan stepped out and cursed: "Rebels, come out quickly and die." !”

E Huan didn't even answer, and directly challenged him. The two fought for several rounds. Wei Yan pretended to lose, and E Huan chased him all the way. After walking less than a few miles, there was a sudden loud shouting, and Zhang Yi and Wang Ping's troops Suddenly he came out and cut off his retreat. Wei Yan turned his horse back and went back to fight with E Huan. The three generals fought together and finally captured E Huan alive and escorted him to the camp.

When E Huan met Kong Ming, he thought that he was going to kill him. However, Kong Ming had someone untie him, gave him some meat and wine, and asked, "Whose general are you?"

He replied: "I am a general of Haute Couture."

After hearing this, Kong Ming laughed and said: "I know that Gao Ding is a righteous person. Now he is just deceived by Yong Kai, so he becomes an enemy of the imperial court. That's why he does this. I will let you go back now, and you can let Gao Ding quickly Surrender quickly to avoid greater disaster."

E Huan thanked him and left, and went back to see Gao Ding. He relayed Kong Ming's words and kept saying that Kong Ming was very virtuous, and Gao Ding was very grateful. On the second day, Yong Kai came to the camp and asked, "Wasn't E Huan captured alive by the enemy's army? How did he come back?"

Gao Dingzhen said: "It was Zhuge Liang who released him because of his righteousness."

Yong Kai said: "This is Zhuge Liang's counter-insurgency strategy. It is to make the two of us at odds, so he deliberately asked E Huan to come back and carry out this strategy."

Gao Ding heard that some of the generals were doubtful, but he was still very hesitant. He suddenly reported that the generals of the Shu army came to challenge him. Yong Kai personally led 30,000 troops to meet the enemy. After fighting for less than a few rounds, he prepared to escape. Wei Yan led the troops The horses pursued him for more than twenty miles. On the second day, Yong Kai led his troops to fight, but Kong Ming did not come out for three days in a row. On the fourth day, Yong Kai and Gaoding divided their troops into two groups and prepared to attack. Shu army camp.

Before that, Kong Ming had already calculated the attack route of the two men, and asked Wei Yan to prepare in advance with his troops. Sure enough, Yong Kai and Gaoding's troops came over and killed most of them, and were captured alive by the troops who had been ambushing them. Countless people were arrested and escorted to the camp. Yongkai's people were imprisoned on one side, and Gaoding's people were imprisoned on the other side.

Not only that, Kong Ming also deliberately released some soldiers and asked them to spread rumors, saying: "As long as the soldiers on Gaoding's side can be spared death, everyone on Yongkai's side will be killed."

Soon the incident spread everywhere, and even the captured soldiers knew about it. Soon after, Kong Ming asked the Shu army soldiers to call all Yong Kai's people to the camp and asked: "Where are you from?" "

Everyone already knew the result and pretended to be the subordinates from Gaoding. After hearing this, Kong Ming smiled and loudly told the soldiers around him that these people could be exempted from the death penalty. He also wanted to reward them with food and wine, and then sent someone to send them out of Shu in person. Military camp.

Kong Ming called the people from Gaoding over again and asked the same question, and everyone replied: "We are real generals from Gaoding."

Kongming was also exempted from the death penalty, rewarded with food and wine, and threatened: "I got a message that some soldiers from Yongkai's side told us that they would sacrifice the heads of your lord and Zhu Bao to us as surrender. Credit, I really can't bear it. Since you are Gaoding's subordinates, I will let you go back first and don't rebel again. If you are captured by me again, then I will not forgive you easily."

Everyone thanked and left. After returning to the camp, they immediately went to see Gao Ding and told him about the matter. Gao Ding sent people to inquire about Yongkai's camp to verify the authenticity. As a result, they found out that The people who were sent back all said good things about Kong Ming, and many of Yongkai's troops had the idea of ​​​​submitting to Gaoding.

However, Gaoding was still unsure and sent people to Kongming's camp to inquire about the situation. The soldiers who were ambushed caught him and saw Kongming. After Kongming learned of the situation, he deliberately thought he was Yongkai's man and called him to the camp to ask. Said: "Have you done what I told you? Since your marshal agreed with me to donate the heads of Gao Ding and Zhu Bao, why was the time wasted? Didn't you make it clear? How to communicate and how to do detailed work?"

The sergeant answered vaguely, just to save his life. Kong Ming rewarded him with wine and food, and handed him the secret letter he had written. He said to the sergeant: "I think you must not have made it clear, so I prepared the secret letter. You Give this letter to Yong Kai and order him to start early and don’t let me down again this time!”

Xizuo got the opportunity and left quickly. He immediately went to see Gaoding, gave him Kong Ming's letter, and said that Yong Kai actually did this.

After Gao Ding read the letter, he was very angry and said angrily: "We treat him with sincerity, but in the end he wants to harm us, it is unreasonable!" So he came to E Huan for discussion.

E Huan suggested: "Kong Ming is a good man. It would be unlucky for us to betray him. Such rebellion and evil are all caused by Yong Kai. Why don't we kill him, dedicate his head to Kong Ming, and then defect to him."

Gao Ding asked: "Then how should we start?"

He replied: "Hold a banquet and send someone to invite Yong Kai. If he has no different intentions, he will come calmly. If he has different intentions, he will not come. The lord can attack the front, and I will ambush behind the camp. Xiaolu, capture him alive.”
