Thinking of this, Yu Yi was ready to return to his old career. He took off his original formal robe and put on a night suit, equipped with a large number of flying knives and hidden weapons. At the same time, he carried the Fang Tian Snake Halberd behind his back and put on a cloak on his head to disguise himself. Become a walking monk. Before leaving, Yu Yi did not forget to dig up the soil for Commander Wei and bury him near Xu Shu. He sighed: "He died to protect me. I will naturally avenge him. In a short time, I will use Commander Wei and Huang Rang’s head is here to be sacrificed.”
Furthermore, when Sima Zhao heard that Zhuge Dan had joined the soldiers and horses of Soochow to come for a decisive battle, he summoned Shi Peixiu, the cavalry commander, and Zhong Hui, the Huangmen minister, to discuss ways to defeat the enemy.
In the battle outside Xuchang City, Sima Zhao used evil power to defeat the enemy in the rain, which frightened the soldiers of Western Shu. This was an open secret among the Wei army. When they heard that Sima Zhao was discussing a policy to defend against the enemy, both of them He thought it was funny, but he still said: "My lord is already close to a god-like existence. He can destroy Zhuge Dan with just one finger, so there is no need to bother people."
Sima Zhao was very helpful after hearing this and said with a smile: "It should be like this, but I have some concerns, so I still use the existing strength to repel the enemy."
After hearing this, Zhong Hui nodded and said: "The reason Wu Guo helped Zhuge Dan was because of benefits. If we give greater benefits, we will definitely win."
Sima Zhao followed this suggestion and ordered Shi Bao and Zhou Tai to lead two groups of troops to ambush outside Stone City. Wang Ji and Chen Qian followed with elite soldiers, and sent Cheng Kuan, the general with tens of thousands of troops, to lure the enemy. Chen Jun was also sent with chariots, oxen, horses, donkeys and mules, pretending to be loaded with supplies for the soldiers, and gathered them in all directions in the formation. If the enemy really came, they would be discarded.
On that day, Zhuge Dan sent Wu generals Zhu Yi on the left and Wen Qin on the right to attack the Wei army camp. Seeing that the Wei army was not in order, Zhuge Dan sent soldiers to attack in large numbers. Cheng Wu was defeated and Zhuge Dan raised troops to cover up the attack. They saw cattle, horses, donkeys and mules scattered all over the wilderness. The soldiers in the south were all vying to seize the spoils. They were not in the mood to fight anymore. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of cannon, and two groups of people came out to kill them. There were stone buds on the left and stone buds on the right. In Zhoutai, Zhuge Dan was very surprised. When he was about to retreat, suddenly Wang Ji and Chen Qian led their elite troops to fight out. Zhuge Dan's soldiers and horses were killed and defeated. Sima Zhao came with his soldiers and horses to respond. Zhuge Dan failed. After returning to Shouchun, he closed the city gate and could not get out. Sima Zhao ordered soldiers to surround him and attack from all sides.
At that time, the Wu army was stationed in Anfeng, and the Wei emperor was stationed in Xiangcheng.
Zhong Huidao said: "Although Zhuge Dan has failed, Shouchun has a lot of food and grass, and the Wu army is stationed in Anfeng, forming a divisive situation. Now we send troops and horses to attack from all sides, and they can hold on. If we attack too hard, , they will fight back, that is, fight to the death, and the State of Wu will also send troops to attack, which will not be of any benefit to our army. How about we open a gap, surround only three sides, let them escape from the south gate, and wait until they Escape from the city and attack again, then you can achieve complete victory. As for the Wu army, they came from a far away place and will definitely have insufficient food and grass. If I lead the cavalry to cut off their retreat, then they will defeat themselves without attacking. Already."
After hearing this, Sima Zhao burst out laughing and said, "You are my Zhang Liang!" Then he ordered Wang Ji to withdraw from the south gate.
Besides, when the Wu army was stationed in Anfeng, Sun Wei called Zhu Yi to him and blamed him: "Why don't even a Shouchun city dare to rescue them? How can we annex the entire Central Plains? If we can't win, we will be beheaded immediately!"
After Zhu Yi returned to the main camp, he summoned his soldiers to discuss. Yu Quan said: "Now that the Wei army has opened the south gate, there is an obvious flaw. I am willing to lead a team of troops into Shouchun from the south gate to help Zhuge Dan defend it." In the city, the general can send troops and horses to challenge the Wei army, and then I rush out of the city and attack from both sides, then the Wei army will fail!"
After hearing this, Zhu Yi agreed to the suggestion, so Quan Yi, Quan Duan, Wen Qin and others were willing to enter the city, so he and Yu Quan entered the city from the south gate with 10,000 troops. The Wei army did not receive an order to attack, nor did they. He dared to underestimate the enemy and allowed the Wu army to enter the city, but only told Sima Zhao the news.
Sima Zhao quickly understood the other party's intention and said, "We are going to work with Zhu Yi to attack our army from both inside and outside to defeat us." So he called Wang Ji and Chen Qian and said, "You can bring five thousand soldiers." The horses cut off Zhu Yi's path and attacked them from behind." The two men followed the order and left.
Zhu
Yi arrived with his troops and horses, and suddenly there was a loud shout from behind. Wang Ji on the left and Chen Qian on the right came out to fight. The Wu army was defeated. Zhu Yi went back to see Sun Wei, who was very angry and said angrily : "General who often fails, what use do I want from you!" After saying that, he asked the samurai to push him out and behead him. He also blamed Quan Duan's son Quan Yi and said, "If we can't get rid of the Wei soldiers, you and your son should not come to me!" After saying this, Sun Wei returned to Jianye.
Zhong Hui said to Sima Zhao: "Now that Sun Wei has retreated and there are no reinforcements outside, Shouchun can surround him!"
Sima Zhao followed this suggestion and sent troops to attack vigorously. Quan Yi prepared to enter Shouchun with his troops. Seeing the overwhelming number of Wei soldiers, he thought that after entering, there would be no way out, so he surrendered directly to Sima Zhao. , Sima Zhao made him a partial general. He was grateful and wrote to his father Quan Duan, explaining that Sun Wei was cruel and unkind, so it was better to surrender to Wei. He shot the letter into the city. Quan Yi got the letter and thought it was reasonable. So he opened the city gate and surrendered with more than a thousand people left. Zhuge Dan was depressed in the city. Advisors Jiang Ban and Jiao Yi said: "Now there is little food and many soldiers and horses in the city, so we cannot guard it for too long." , you can lead the Wu army to attack with us and fight the Wei army decisively, that way you still have a chance of winning!"
After Zhuge Dan heard this, he was furious and said, "I am preparing to defend, but you are going to fight. Could it be that Sima Zhao bribed you? If you say anything else, I will behead you!" The two of them raised their heads and sighed: "Zhuge Dan is about to perish, why don't we hurry up? Surrender, or you will die miserably!" So at the second watch that night, Jiang and Jiao secretly escaped from the city and surrendered to the Wei army. Sima Zhao reused them, but there were still some brave soldiers in the city who wanted to fight, but they did not dare to fight again. Go to Zhuge Dan for advice.
Zhuge Dan was in the city and saw that the Wei army had built Tucheng from all sides to block the Huaihe River. He only hoped to see the water flowing and wash down the Tucheng, and then led his troops to attack. However, from autumn to winter, there was no rain, the Huaihe River could not rise, and the food in the city was almost running out. Wen Qin stayed in the small city with his two sons and saw that the soldiers were gradually getting hungry, so he could only tell Zhuge Dan said: "Now that the food is running out and the soldiers are starving to death, why not let all the soldiers from the north go out, so that we can save some food."
Zhuge Dan didn't think so. Instead, he was very angry and said angrily: "You asked me to let the soldiers from the north go at this time, so you are planning to kill me!" So he ordered his left and right men to push him out and behead him.
