Everyone was very surprised after hearing this and said: "From ancient times to the present, we have never heard of anything about wooden oxen and horses. I wonder if the Prime Minister has any way to create such an artifact." Kong Ming said: "I have sent People make according to the method, but they are not yet completely ready. I have now written down the method of making wooden oxen and horses, as well as the size, length and some core points in one place. Take a good look at it and be sure to learn it."
After Kong Ming finished speaking, he looked at the sky again and sighed: "Maybe Lei Chunze's spirit in the sky does not want this technology to be lost, so making it public to everyone can be regarded as a wealth for future generations."
Everyone was very happy after hearing this. Kong Ming took out the paper and showed it to everyone. Everyone began to read. The content was not much, but there were many key points, which was enough to open everyone's eyes. They all bowed and said: "The Prime Minister is really a god! "
Kong Ming shook his head and said: "I didn't think of this. It was the late Lei Chunze. He is the well-deserved king of craftsmen."
After everyone listened, they suddenly realized that they had never thought that a person who was usually unknown and worked hard could actually have such a talent.
After a few days, the wooden ox and horse were all built. A good person went to watch it and found that it was almost the same as a real ox and horse. It could go over mountains and ridges. The key was that it was very labor-saving. Everyone was very happy and their morale was also improved. Invigorate.
Kong Ming asked the right general Gao Xiang to take a thousand soldiers and horses with wooden oxen and horses from Jiange to Qishan Camp. It was very convenient to carry food and grass one trip after another, and the food problem of the Shu army was solved.
Sima Yi was very depressed because of the defeat. Suddenly, a detective horse came to report: "The Shu army used wooden oxen and horses to transport grain and grass, which did not waste manpower. These oxen and horses are just like real animals and do not need to eat any fodder."
Sima Yi was very surprised and said: "The reason why I can't hold on is because the opponent's food and grass are insufficient. I am prepared to wait until they rebel. Now we use wooden oxen and horses to transport the food problem. If we don't want to retreat, we will completely solve the food problem." , then Wei will have no tomorrow, what should we do?" After that, he summoned Zhang Hu and Le Wei and said, "You two each take five hundred soldiers and walk out of the Xiegu lower road. Wait until the Shu army brings When the wooden oxen and horses pass by, wait until they all pass by, and you all kill them together. You can’t grab too many, just get a few, and we’ll study them.”
According to the order, the two men each brought five hundred soldiers, pretending to be Shu troops. They passed by the path at night and ambush in the valley. Sure enough, they saw Gao Xiang coming with wooden oxen and horses. When they all passed, they suddenly rushed out together. , the Shu army was caught off guard and dropped several wooden oxen and horses. Zhang Hu and Le Wei were very happy and completed the task very easily.
After Sima Yi got it, he was very happy. He took one of them to his camp and studied it personally. He found that this thing was like a living thing. He was very happy and said with a smile: "You think you are the only one who can use this method, don't you think I can't?" So they also called in hundreds of craftsmen, took them apart in person, and made a copycat imitation of the village according to this size. They also made some wooden cows and horses. In less than half a month, Wei State also made two thousand wooden cows and horses. The oxen and horses were just imitations, and they looked exactly like those owned by the Shu army. They were also able to run on their own, so Zhenyuan General Cen Wei was sent with a thousand soldiers and horses, and the newly made wooden oxen and horses, to Longxi to carry grain and grass. , there was constant exchanges. When the soldiers of the Wei army saw it, they were very happy and their morale was high.
Gao Xiang went back to see Kong Ming and told him that the Wei army had robbed a few wooden oxen and horses and left. Kong Ming smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I just want Wei to rob some. Although I lost five or six wooden oxen and horses, I will soon lose them." You can get a lot of materials funded by the military,"
After hearing this, everyone asked: "How did the Prime Minister know?"
He replied: "When Sima Yi sees wooden oxen and horses, he will definitely imitate them and make many of them. Then I will have a new method."
A few days later, someone reported that Wei Jun could also make wooden oxen and horses, exactly like his own, to transport grain and grass to Longxi.
Kongming was very happy after hearing this and said: "It seems to be what I thought!" So he summoned Wang Ping and said: "You take a thousand soldiers and horses, pretend to be the Wei army, and go to Beiyuan overnight, saying that you are inspecting grain and grass. Soldiers, go to the place where grain and grass are transported, kill all the soldiers protecting the grain and grass, and then bring back their wooden oxen and horses. If you go to Beiyuan and come back, there must be Wei troops chasing you here. If you twist the tongues of these wooden oxen and horses, then they will If you can't move around, just abandon them and move forward. The Wei army arrives behind you and can't move these objects and can't lift them. When we have more soldiers and horses, you just twist your tongue and bring them back. The Wei army will definitely It will feel very strange." Wang Ping ordered his soldiers and horses to leave.
Kong Ming summoned Zhang Yi again and said: "You take five hundred soldiers and dress up as the Six Ding Liujia magic soldiers with ghost heads and animal bodies. Paint your face with five colors. The weirder the makeup, the better. Hold an embroidered flag in one hand." , holding a sword in one hand and a gourd hanging on the body, often containing some fireworks materials, lurking on the side of the mountain. When the wooden cows and horses pass by, you first set off fireworks, and then crowd out together to drive the wooden cows, cows and horses forward. Wei Jun watched When they arrived, they thought it was ghosts and gods driving the horses and oxen, so they didn't dare to chase them!" Zhang Ni ordered them to move forward.
Kongming also summoned Wei Yan and Jiang Wei and ordered: "You two together take ten thousand soldiers and horses to the gate of the Beiyuan camp to meet the wooden oxen and horses to prevent fighting." He also summoned Liao Hua and Zhang Yi and ordered: "You two take the Take five thousand soldiers and horses to cut off Sima Yi's approach." He also summoned Ma Zhong and Ma Dai and said, "You two take two thousand soldiers and horses to Weinan to challenge." The six were ordered to leave.
The general of the Wei army, Cen Wei, was driving his oxen and horses, loaded with grain. As he was walking, suddenly there were soldiers inspecting the grain in front of him. Cen Wei sent someone to check, and it turned out to be Wei's army. So he moved forward with confidence, and the two armies gathered together. , suddenly there was a loud shout, and the Shu army suddenly rose up in the ranks, shouting: "Shu General Wang Ping is here!"
The Wei army was caught off guard and most of them were killed by the Shu army. Cen Wei led the defeated army to resist the enemy, but was killed by Wang Ping with a single sword. The rest were scattered. Wang Ping led his soldiers and horses to drive back the wooden oxen and horses. The defeated army reported the situation to Beiyuan. In the camp, Guo Huai heard that the food had been robbed by the Shu army, and he quickly led the Wei army to rescue him. Wang Ping sent soldiers to twist his tongue, and then he was still on the road, fighting and retreating. Guo Huai told everyone not to pursue him, so he took the wood Just retrieve the cows and horses.
The crowd tried to drive them away, but the wooden oxen and horses were unable to drive them. Guo Huai was puzzled. When he was hesitating, suddenly drums beat loudly and shouts were heard. Two groups of soldiers and horses came out. It was Wei Jun, Jiang Wei, and Wang Ping who led the troops. The soldiers and horses fought back and attacked from three directions. Guo Huai failed and left. Wang Ping sent soldiers to twist the tongues of the cows and horses and drove them away. After seeing this, Guo Huai came back with his soldiers and horses to pursue him. Suddenly he saw a thick cloud rising behind the mountain. Out of the smoke, a group of strangely dressed soldiers and horses came out. Each of them held a sword in his hand, his face was smeared like a priest, driving wooden oxen and horses as if they were floating in the clouds.
Guo Huai was very surprised when he saw it and sighed: "Is that the god's mount?"
After everyone saw it, they didn't dare to catch up and looked very scared.
