Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition went very smoothly!
The people of the three counties of Tianshui, Nan'an, and Anding all rebelled against Wei and defected to the Han, and responded to Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition!
Zhuge Liang's army marches straight into Chang'an!
The ruling and opposition parties of Cao Wei were shocked!
Cao Rui personally took charge of Chang'an and sent reinforcements!
Cao Jun, with Cao Zhen as the commander and Zhang He as the vanguard, mobilized all their elite troops to fight against Zhuge Liang!
Zhuge Liang knew that Zhang He was not an ordinary person, so he sent his favorite disciple Ma Su to guard the important area of Jieting to fight against Zhang He!
However, after Ma Di arrived at Jieting, he disobeyed Zhuge Liang's military orders and did not go down to the stronghold on the road. Instead, he stationed his army on the mountain!
Ma Su's idea was that when the Wei army came to attack Jieting, the army would swoop down from the mountain. At that time, it would be like a tiger descending from the mountain, killing the Wei army without leaving a single piece of armor behind!
Lieutenant General Wang Ping felt that Ma Su took it for granted. If the Wei army besieged and refused to attack, what would he do?
Ma Su laughed, that would be easier. When the time comes when the army is in dire straits and they risk their lives to survive, they will surely be able to defeat ten of them!
Seeing this scene, everyone in China couldn't help but fell into silence.
This picture seems to have been seen somewhere!
Surrender to death. It seems that both Han Xin and Xiang Yu have used this trick, and they have both succeeded!
I wonder if this Ma Su can become the third person?
However, the result surprised everyone!
Ma Su was surrounded on a lonely mountain, his water source was cut off, and he was in a desperate situation!
However, the army in desperate situation did not have one against ten as Ma Su thought, but collapsed directly!
Ma Su was defeated!
The street pavilion was lost!
Zhuge Liang's retreat was at risk of being raided, so he had no choice but to withdraw his army to Yizhou!
The Northern Expedition was declared a failure!
"Ma Su, I only learned the art of war, but I didn't learn the essence..."
Everyone in China frowned when they saw that Ma Di had put himself to death and failed to survive, and that the entire army was annihilated.
They all risked their lives to survive. Why did Xiang Yu and Han Xin succeed, but when it came to Ma Su, why couldn't it work?
The reason, where is it?
…
Big man.
"Ma Su is an idiot. Who are Xiang Yu and Han Xin? How can he compare to those two people!"
In the Imperial Palace of the Han Dynasty, Chen Ping looked at Ma Di helplessly, "What's more, he is actively attacking and he is passively defending. The situation is completely different..."
Ma Su, this is completely mechanical!
Moreover, according to Zhuge Liang's instructions, Ma Su only needed to guard the street pavilion and block Zhang He for the army.
But Ma Su insisted on adding drama to himself!
He obviously wanted to take this opportunity to annihilate this Wei army and show off in front of Zhuge Liang!
Unexpectedly, he thought too highly of himself, and it ended up being self-defeating. Not only did he fail to destroy the enemy army, but he himself was completely wiped out!
The most important thing is that the street pavilion is lost!
Let Zhuge Liang's overall Northern Expedition fall short!
After returning to the army, the first thing Zhuge Liang did was to kill Ma Su!
Demoted to third rank and resigned from the post of prime minister!
However, after experiencing this setback, Zhuge Liang did not give up on the Northern Expedition!
Soon after, he launched the second Northern Expedition!
But this time, the Wei army was well prepared and ordered Hao Zhao to defend Chencang. The Shu Han army besieged the city for more than 20 days and failed to break the city!
Hearing that reinforcements from the Wei army were coming, Zhuge Liang could only announce his withdrawal.
But on the way to withdraw, he set up an ambush and killed Wei's fierce general Wang Shuang!
Soon after, Zhuge Liang launched the third Northern Expedition, but once again retreated due to lack of food and grass!
Having learned the lesson from last time, Zhuge Liang used his ingenuity to build a wooden ox and a flowing horse, specifically for transporting grain and grass!
After several fights, Sima Yi suffered small losses. He thought he was no match for Zhuge Liang, so he closed the door and defended!
And Sima Yi's defensive strategy was also successful!
There was a problem in Zhuge Liang's rear. Li Yan, another minister in charge of grain and grass, was unable to deliver grain and grass, so he falsely passed on the imperial edict and ordered Zhuge Liang to retreat.
Zhuge Liang thought he had run out of food and supplies and had no choice but to withdraw his troops again.
It was also this time that Sima Yi knew that Zhuge Liang had an ambush, but forced Zhang He to die, completing the murder with a borrowed knife!
Zhuge Liang returned to Shu Han and immediately deposed Li Yan!
"Zhuge Liang, it's not easy!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel sympathy in their eyes as they looked at Zhuge Liang, who had been tricked by his pig teammates one after another.
Zhuge Liang, like a big patriarch, works hard to maintain the big family of Shu Han, but there are always cheaters like Ma Di and Li Yan who hold Zhuge Liang back.
It makes the already poor situation even worse!
Zhuge Liang not only has to deal with the powerful enemies on the front line, but also the troubles from behind!
However, even though he was repeatedly tricked by his pig teammates, Zhuge Liang still did not give up on the Northern Expedition!
The picture of the gold list flickered, and Zhuge Liang went on the Northern Expedition again!
This is his fifth Northern Expedition!
The army is stationed at Wuzhangyuan!
Cao Wei, it was Sima Yi who led the army to fight again!
And Sima Yi still has the same old strategy, which is to sit back and not fight!
As long as he can't hold on, Zhuge Liang will naturally retreat when he runs out of food!
Even if Zhuge Liang gave him a set of women's clothes, Sima Yi remained unmoved!
But the generals of Wei were angry. Just because Sima Yi could bear it did not mean that they could bear it too. They all petitioned Wei Emperor Cao Rui to request a fight to the death with Zhuge Liang.
Cao Rui also issued an order, asking Sima Yi to find an opportunity to go to war, and not to retreat blindly, which would damage the prestige of the Wei Dynasty!
Sima Yi had no choice but to hold on while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
And this opportunity was found by him immediately!
The spies of the Wei army actually found the Shangfang Valley, the Shu army's grain garrison!
There, all the food and grass of the Shu Han were piled up!
As long as all the food and grass are burned, the Shu Han army will be in chaos and will be victorious in a single battle!
At the same time, this is also a good opportunity to avenge previous shame!
Sima Yi was so happy that he took his two sons and a group of light cavalry to attack Fangfang Valley overnight!
But when Sima Yi entered the upper valley, he found that it was an empty camp, and the camp was filled with hay!
"not good!"
"You fell into Zhuge Villager's plan!"
Sima Yi was shocked and quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops.
But the entrance to the valley has already been blocked!
For a while, it was impossible to rush out!
At the same time, a large number of Shu troops appeared on both sides of the Shangfang Valley. They threw a large number of torches and rockets into the valley, setting the entire Shangfang Valley on fire!
In an instant, fire raged in the upper valley, and Sima Yi and his son were all trapped in the fire!
"My life is at stake!"
Sima Yi and his son hugged each other and cried, thinking that they were bound to die!
There is no way to heaven and no way to earth!
Seeing that the father and son were about to be killed in the fire.
Over the valley, rolling thunderclouds suddenly gathered, there was lightning and thunder, and it rained heavily!
He actually extinguished a fire that Zhuge Liang carefully lit!
Sima Yi and his son took the opportunity to lead their army out of Shangfang Valley!
But Zhuge Liang's thin figure looked so weak under the wash of the heavy rain!
"Zhuge Liang, try your best!"
In the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen sighed, "It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to Heaven to make things happen!"
"The destiny is not with him, but with Sima Yi!"
Sima Yi and his son have great luck!
Even though Zhuge Liang had set up a sure-kill situation, the three of them were still able to turn danger into disaster. These three people were destined to be emperors!
And from the previous picture of Sima Yi's gold list, we can indeed see that Sima has the destiny of an emperor!
Emperors, especially the founders of a country, often possess great mystical knowledge. Even though Zhuge Liang had a clever plan, it was a pity that Sima Yi and his son were immune to the fatal disaster this time with their incredible luck!
