After Sima Yi heard that Beiyuan was defeated, he quickly led his troops to rescue him. Just halfway there, there was a sudden sound of cannon fire, and two groups of soldiers and horses came out from a dangerous place. The shouts were loud and the flags read Han general Zhang Yi, Liao Hua and Sima Yi were very surprised when they saw him. The Wei army was also panicked and ran away one after another. Sima Yi was killed by Zhang Yi and Liao Hua, and they fled deep into the dense forest, one man and one horse. Zhang Yi was chasing after him, and Liao Hua was chasing at the front. He was about to catch him. Sima Yi panicked for a moment and circled around the tree. Liao Hua chopped it down with a knife. , happened to be chopped on the tree. Due to excessive force, he pulled it out for a while. By the time he pulled it out, Sima Yi had already escaped from the dense forest. Liao Hua arrived shortly afterwards and didn’t know where he went. He only saw the left side of the forest on the east side of the forest. Liao Hua picked up a golden helmet. Liao Hua took the helmet and hung it on the horse's neck, and chased all the way to the east. It turned out that Sima Yi deliberately discarded the golden helmet on the east side of the forest to create an illusion. In fact, Sima Yi went in the opposite direction. Liao Hua chased for a long time. , without seeing any trace, they came out of the valley entrance, met Jiang Wei, and went back to the camp to meet Kong Ming.
Zhang Ni drove all the wooden oxen and horses made by the Wei army into the camp very early. After the delivery was completed, he obtained tens of thousands of grains from the Wei army. Liao Hua presented Sima Yi's golden helmet to Kong Ming, which was the first achievement. Wei Yan was very happy after seeing it. Unhappy and complaining, Kong Ming just pretended not to know.
Sima Yi returned to the camp, feeling very depressed. During this period, he had always failed and was always plotted by Kong Ming. The evil force was in seclusion again. He didn’t know what was brewing. The power of the second demon star was also taken away. Now he is a Mortals, holding the title of Governor-General of the Wei Kingdom, only do things to fill holes.
Just when Sima Yi was thinking about how to change his strategy, a soldier suddenly came to deliver an order, saying that the Three Routes from Soochow were invading. Emperor Shu Emperor Yu Yi led his army to Fancheng to kill. The court was preparing to discuss how to resist these enemies and told Sima Yi not to go to war. After receiving the order, Sima Yi never came out again and continued to repair the fortifications.
Cao Rui heard that Sun Quan's three armies were coming, and Shu Emperor Yu Yi came out from Xiangyang with troops and horses and marched towards Fancheng. He also launched four armies to fight, and asked Liu Shao to lead the troops to rescue Fancheng. Tian Yu led them Cao Rui went to rescue Jiangxia with his troops and horses. Cao Rui and Man Chong led the army to Hefei. Man Chong led all the troops to the mouth of Chaohu Lake and saw numerous warships on the east bank with very strict flags.
Man Chong entered the army and reported to Lord Wei, saying: "The soldiers and horses of the Wu Kingdom must have thought that we came from afar and had no defense. We can take advantage of the opportunity to attack their navy camp tonight, and we will definitely win a complete victory."
Cao Rui nodded and said: "Your suggestion is exactly the same as mine." So he sent the fierce general Zhang Qiu with five thousand troops and some fire tools to attack from the mouth of the lake, and Man Chong with five thousand The soldiers and horses attacked from the east bank. Around the second watch of the night, Zhang Qiu and Man Chong each led their soldiers and horses to the mouth of the lake. After approaching the water village, they shouted together and rushed into the Wu army. The Wu army was unprepared and was in chaos. Fleeing without fighting, the Wei army set fire everywhere, burning warships, grain, grass, and countless equipment. Zhuge Jin led the defeated army to flee to Miangkou overnight, and the Wei army won a complete victory.
On the second day, the sentry reported to Lu Xun. Lu Xun convened everyone for discussion and said: "I should make a statement to express my hope to the Lord that I can lift the siege of the new city and use troops and horses to cut off the Wei army's return. I will lead everyone to attack him." If he can't look at each other in front of him, then the enemy will be defeated in one go." Everyone agreed with this idea, so Lu Xun wrote a letter of apology and sent a confidant to secretly present the letter to the new city. The confidant followed the order and moved forward. When he reached the ferry, he was intercepted by the Wei army who had been ambushing nearby. He was taken to the army to see Cao Rui, the leader of Wei. Cao Rui searched for Lu Xun's confession. After reading it, he sighed: "Lu Xun, the governor of Soochow, It is indeed well-deserved!" After saying that, he escorted his confidants to the cell and sent Liu Shao to be careful, as Sun Quan might send troops from behind.
After Zhuge Jin failed, it was a hot day again, and people and horses by the river were sick. So he wrote a letter and had it forwarded to Lu Xu, discussing how to withdraw his troops and return to the country. After Lu Xun saw the letter, he said to the visitor: "Go back." Say, of course I have an idea."
The envoy returned to tell Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Jin asked, "How will General Lu respond to this?"
He replied: "I saw General Lu Xun urging everyone to plant bean sprouts outside the camp, while he and the generals were shooting arrows and playing outside the camp gate."
Zhuge Jin was very surprised after hearing this. He went to Lu Xun's camp in person, met with Lu Xun alone, and asked, "Now Cao Rui comes in person with his troops and horses, and the momentum is huge. How is the governor going to resist?"
Replied: "I wrote a letter before and prepared to dedicate it to the Lord. I didn't expect that this letter fell into the hands of the Wei army. My plan has been revealed. They know our thoughts, so there is no point in fighting anymore. It is better to retreat. , I have sent people to ask the Lord for instructions, let’s withdraw our troops slowly.”
Zhuge Jin said: "Since the Commander-in-Chief wants to retreat, he should act quickly. Why do he have to retreat slowly?"
He replied: "If we want to retreat, we must move slowly. If we retreat quickly, the Wei army will definitely catch up. This is the road to failure. You should supervise the ships now. In order to resist the enemy, I will send troops to Xiangyang." , attacked Fancheng together with Emperor Shu, as a way to doubt the enemy's plan, and then slowly pushed the army back to the east of the Yangtze River, so that the Wei army would not dare to attack."
Zhuge Jin moved forward according to this plan, said goodbye and returned to the camp, rectified the ships, and prepared to leave. Lu Xun rectified his troops and went upstream to the river with great momentum, preparing to assist Yu Yi in attacking Fancheng and marching towards Fancheng.
He made a detailed report to Cao Rui, the leader of Wei, saying that Dongwu soldiers and horses had already moved, and they must be on guard. When the generals of the Wei army heard about it, they all wanted to go to war. The leader of Wei knew Lu Xun's talents and said to everyone: "Lu Xun made a sneak attack back then. Jingzhou captured Guan Yu and his son, and set fire to the camp behind them. He is a man who knows how to strategy. This may be his trick to lure the enemy, so he cannot attack easily." After hearing this, everyone did not attack. A few days later, the sentry came to report, Said: "The three armies of Soochow have all retreated."
The Wei army didn't believe it, so they sent people to investigate again. When they came back, they got the news that they had all retreated. The Lord of Wei sighed: "Lu Xun's troops are no less powerful than those of Sun and Wu. It seems that it is not time to attack in the southeast yet." So he ordered everyone. General, guard the dangerous places carefully, and station yourself in Hefei with your army to see what new changes there are.
It is said that after Yu Yi received the news of the attack on Fancheng in Nanjun, Jingzhou, he was very happy. He called everyone to discuss it many times and prepared to take Fancheng first and then plot the Central Plains. You must know that Yuyi went to Xiangyang many times in order to complete Zhuge Liang's Longzhong attack. , attacking the Central Plains from Jingzhou and Xishu. Now the Xishu side has left Qishan, and the Jingzhou side has just been recovered. This is the first attack.
For the sake of safety, Yu Yi left half of his troops in the southern group of Jingzhou, and at the same time sent Huang Mochou, Tan Bowen, and Jiang Wan to guard it. He led one hundred thousand troops and set out from Xiangyang City to prepare to cross the river to attack Fancheng.
