In the wilderness of the south gate of Wancheng, the two armies faced each other and fierce battles were in full swing.︾,

The sharp arrows fell like rain, the two armies collided with chariots, the people were on their backs and horses were overturned, screaming repeatedly, but were completely overwhelmed by the earth-shaking shouts and the sound of galloping horses. There was no mercy on the battlefield.

When the chariot formation was about to be destroyed, the flag-holding soldiers on the Jingzhou Army General Platform waved the command flags, and thousands of iron cavalry roared out, trying to use the cover of the chariot to attack the central army of the Western Jin army.

"What do Pang Shiyuan mean?" Seeing the 5,000-6,000-strong Jingzhou Iron Cavalry coming, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and pondered to himself.

Sima Yi, who was standing beside him, smiled slightly: "It's just a mysterious thing. To attack our central army camp with thousands of cavalry, it's like shaking a tree, hitting a stone with eggs, and seeking death. How could Pang Tong not know such a simple thing? Since that's the case, why should he send 6,000 cavalry to die? Therefore, he only had one purpose, which was to do mysterious thing and lure our army's combat cavalry to attack."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "It makes sense. In this way, my previous judgment was correct. Next, Pang Shiyuan would defraud and withdraw his troops, thereby luring our army to chase and kill them, so that he would fall into the pit he dug in advance."

Sima Yi nodded happily and said with disdain, "I used the same trick again, and picked up people's teeth and wisdom, and Pang Shiyuan's skills are exhausted!" With a sneer, Sima Yi continued, "Ten years ago, during the Sili War, Yuan Shao exhausted tens of thousands of troops and dug up several miles of wasteland, trying to kill our Xiliang army in one fell swoop. As a result, his cleverness was mistaken. Although he killed tens of thousands of soldiers in our army, he killed nearly 200,000 allies. Now the huge Jinghu is Yuan Shao's masterpiece during his lifetime. He killed 300,000 soldiers in one go, which is truly a sin. It is no wonder that Yuan Shao died of depression and worked hard for his life but married Cao Cao.

This time, His Majesty deliberately camped on the banks of Jinghu Lake during his journey. He used this warning to us that the lessons of the previous cars are still in front of us, and we must not repeat the same mistakes. Unexpectedly, Pang Tong used the same trick again this time, trying to deal with our Western Liang Iron Cavalry with a trap. Such tricks are really a laughing stock!"

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and immediately ordered the giant shield soldiers to step forward, with a spear behind, and the archers shot and killed them freely. However, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he knew that the Iron Cavalry of Jingzhou was cheating, but he still ordered Zhang Fei to lead the Iron Cavalry of the Zhuque Camp to fight and kill the cavalry that was used as bait by Pang Tong.

Amid the sound of horse hooves, Zhang Fei led 50,000 Zhuque Camps to rush out of the army and fought with the Jingzhou Iron Cavalry who was rushing over. Just one charge killed the cavalry and fled in a hurry. At this moment, the Jingzhou army retreated, and the rear army turned into a front army and quickly evacuated the battlefield. Retreat to Xipingao twenty miles away.

"I wonder what the general's move is intended?" Seeing that the Jingzhou army retreated before it was defeated, Sima Yi pointed at Zhang Fei and his cavalry under the tent who were leading the army to pursue him, and asked in confusion about the reason. Although he did not explain it, the implication was to question Kong Ming's order. He asked him why he wanted the Zhuque Camp under the tent to go to die.

Zhuge Liang shook his head gently: "Don't worry, Zhongda, I will never regard the lives of the soldiers under my command as a joke, and I will not let them die. To be honest, I had already told Zhang Fei when I was discussing last night, asking him to lead the army to pretend to pursue. Pay attention to the evacuation route of the Jingzhou army along the way, and then follow and chase after him. After the Jingzhou army withdrew from the battlefield, our army then followed up, threw stones to ask for directions with thunderbolt chariots, and then chased them in large numbers. In this way, Pang Shiyuan's plan to defraud the enemy was failed, and he could also take advantage of the victory to pursue, so that the Jingzhou army's defraud would become a crushing defeat. Therefore, as long as the trap is destroyed in this battle, our army will win!"

Just as Zhuge Liang was speaking, Zhang Fei had already led 50,000 Iron Cavalry of the Zhuque Camp and 40,000 infantry of the front army to chase him with murderous intent. After several miles of pursuit, Zhang Fei commanded nearly 100,000 troops to disperse, bypassing the blank land of the rear army deliberately left by the Jingzhou army, and detoured on both wings, continuing to pursue the victory.

Immediately, the long-range strike weapon of the central army camp, the Pili Car, quickly advanced forward. More than a hundred Pili Cars threw rocks at the same time, and the big rocks smashed into the empty wilderness. With a loud "boom" sound, the ground that was dug into the empty ground collapsed and dust flew in the dust. But a pit about 1,500 meters long and 1,000 meters wide gradually appeared. The surface of the land was still green, but the next moment it turned into a killing hell that was enough to kill tens of thousands of people.

"All the soldiers listen to my orders, and the whole army attacks, kills——!" The moment the pit appeared, Zhuge Liang drew out his sword without hesitation, pointed the sword forward, and ordered the attack blatantly.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Amid the deafening shouts, the wolf cavalry and the Longxiang camp were galloping on their horses, and 30,000 soldiers of the rear army followed closely, killing the Jingzhou army that was pretending to withdraw. At this moment, the Western Jin army was as powerful as a rainbow, with 120,000 iron cavalry driving on horseback, and 50,000 infantry ran wildly, tightly clenching the defeated Jingzhou army to chase after him.

"Hu——!" Seeing more than 100,000 troops chasing, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Yang Fu both breathed a long sigh and rode their horses to the pit. At this moment, there were still 20,000 people following them, but the war in front of them no longer required them to go to the front line to command the battle. The leaders and generals of each battalion were fully capable of dealing with the subsequent war. Therefore, the three of them did not need to do their own jobs to take charge and take charge, otherwise it would cause chaos to the army and work would not be thankful for their efforts. Therefore, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Yang Fu were both aware of themselves, and they stayed in the rear and left a reserve team to deal with unexpected emergencies.

Looking down at the huge sag in front of him, Sima Yi said with lingering fear: "It takes at least tens of thousands of people to dig such a large pit day and night, and it is very difficult to escape the investigation of our scouts! Pang Tong really took great pains to defeat our Western Liang Iron Cavalry!"

Yang Fushen said with the same feeling: "If the Chief Shi had not been able to break the conspiracy of the Jingzhou Army early on, we would have been afraid that more than 100,000 combat cavalry of our army would have been buried here. Pang Tong's move was sinister and extremely vicious!"

After hearing the words of the two of them, Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly and sighed in a low voice: "My Western Jin cavalry is the most brave in the world. For more than ten years, the Western Jin cavalry fought in the east, the south and the north, galloping everywhere, and being invincible. If we face such a powerful war cavalry, we would probably try our best to defeat the Xiliang cavalry. After all, our Jin army has always been good at iron cavalry. All bows, horses, cavalry and shooting are excellent, and the strong bows and crossbows are far above the Jingzhou army. We can see the world with this. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as our Western Liang cavalry is immortal, we will definitely wipe out the Southern Han and Northern Wei countries within ten years. Therefore, this situation is also Pang Shiyuan's helpless move. In the head-on decisive battle, the only way to trap a pit is to defeat the war cavalry, and there is no other good method."

Sima Yi and Yang Fu nodded in agreement. Sima Yi said: "Since the Battle of Jizhou, Your Majesty has stopped moving troops. Except for the conquest of Yizhou, more than half of our army's troops are resting, building weapons, preparing for the troops, and waiting for an opportunity to move. This time, we set up a clever plan to lead the snake out of the hole, drive the tiger out of the wolf, and then take action, and then wipe out all the enemy troops entering Sili in one fell swoop.

Before that, I always believed that the reason why our army was able to win in all battles was the careful planning of hundreds of war generals and civil officials and counselors in the army. It was not until I personally experienced the Battle of Yingchuan and the decisive battle in Wancheng in front of me that I realized that His Majesty had already begun to make arrangements as early as the expedition and suppression of the princes in each town. He planned to cast a large net, and the rope that weaved this net was 400,000 iron cavalry. He intended to capture all the princes in each town in one net!"

Yang Fu continued: "That's true. After the war in Jizhou ended, Your Majesty sent out all the cavalry of war. General Dian Wei's tent was stationed in the Huben camp to guard the Sanfu of Chang'an. Xu Chu's tent was under the Qinglong camp and Zhao Yun's tent were stationed in Sili, Zhang Yan and Xu Huang led the Feiyan light cavalry to station the army in Heishan. Kebineng's tent was stationed in Youzhou, Zhang Liao's tent was stationed in Hefei, General Zhou Yu's tent was stationed in Shuofeng camp to station the army in Yuzhou, Xiongying guard stationed in Yizhou, Jinqiu guard stationed in Feixiong camp to guard the capital.

In the war, Your Majesty secretly ordered the Longxiang Camp, the Wolf Cavalry Camp and the Zhuque Camp to station 150,000 cavalry stationed in Chang'an, and personally led a large army to attack Guandu, and then ordered General Xu Rong to command Youzhou Camp, Feiyan Qing Cavalry and Wuzhu Camp to Jizhou, while General Zhou Yu led Wuwei Camp, Shuofeng Camp, Feixiong Camp and the Crane Camp to Yanzhou, and marched north to south, attacking the Northern Wei Dynasty. At the same time, Shu King Li Xian personally led the Eagle Guard Iron Cavalry and Lu Meng's tent under the Jiangzhou Camp and sneaked down the river to attack Jiangdong; Gan Ning led the Jinfan Camp and Yangzhou Navy to attack Jiangdong Water Village in front, and surrounded and hunted Jiangdong from both sides. It can be said that all three armies were launched, and four sides were fought together, and one battle could determine the universe!"

Zhuge Liang nodded happily and agreed, laughing loudly: "Now Cao Ren's army has been destroyed. After we annihilate the main force of the Jingzhou army, Your Majesty will conquer the country and rule the world is just around the corner! Hahaha."

************************

Time flies, and it is the thirteenth year of Jian'an, that is, 208 AD.

The Western Jin army fought against two, fighting at the same time on the south and north battlefields, and fought for years, and the war lasted for five years.

Until the early 13th year of Jian'an, the army under Li Li commanded Zhuge Liang as the commander, Ju Yi as the deputy commander, Sima Yi as the military advisor, Yang Fu as the chief clerk of the army, led the wolf cavalry, Longxiang Camp, Huben Camp, Zhuque Camp, and other 300,000 troops to conquer Jingzhou in the south. After five years of fierce battle, they finally captured Xiangyang City and led the troops to capture the counties and counties of Jingzhou. After the fall of the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Biao and his family fled from Jingzhou in a hurry, crossed the Yangtze River south, and attempted to seek refuge in Jiangdong.

On the way to escape, Liu Biao became depressed and died of illness on a warship to Jiangdong. After Liu Biao's death, Cai Mao and the Kuai brothers plotted to turn against each other, took Liu Cong, the young leader of the Southern Han Dynasty, and led their troops back to Jiangxia, surrendered to the Western Jin army, and openly claimed that they wanted to offer the Empress Cai to Emperor Li Li. However, Emperor Li Li of Jin refused the gift from Cai Mao and others, and instead gave the Cai family to Guan Yu, who had made many military achievements in the Southern Expedition, and gave a pair of sisters around Cai to Fan Yong, who had been stationed in Yongzhou for more than ten years. The brothers Liu Qi and Liu Cong were sent to Chang'an to accompany their "Emperor Uncle" Liu Zhang and Liu Bei.

The next month after the destruction of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Gan Ning led the Jinfan Camp and the Yangzhou Navy to break through the Wujun Water Village and enter Jiangdong. At the same time, Shu King Li Xian led the Jiangzhou Navy under the tent of Xiongyingwei and Lu Meng, and traveled three thousand miles, lasting four years to pacify Jiaozhou, and then led the army to attack the four counties of Jiangdong, and joined forces with Gan Ning to conquer Jiangdong. Therefore, after Liu Qi and Liu Cong, the young master of Jiangdong, Sun Shao, was also sent to Chang'an to "live his life" with his uncle Sun Quan.

After the destruction of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, the Wei State, which had been fighting for five consecutive years, was surrounded by enemies on all sides and could not support it. However, Cao Cao did not realize that he would retreat. He devoted all his efforts to deal with the Western Jin army, fought to the death and did not surrender, and held on for two years.

In 210 AD, in May of the 15th year of Jian'an, Yanzhou and Qingzhou under the Northern Wei ruled fell one after another, and half of the counties and counties in Jizhou had also fallen into the hands of Emperor Li Li of Jin. At the end of the desperate situation, Emperor Cao Cao of Wei made a desperate bet and fought 200,000 cavalry led by Emperor Li of Jin to fight in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital Yecheng. In the end, the Wei army was defeated, and Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and other Cao family members died in the battlefield. More than half of the generals of the Wei State were killed, and only Emperor Cao Cao was seriously injured and captured.

In the spring of 212 AD, Emperor Li Li of Jin personally conquered Liaodong, pacified the rebellion of the Gongsun family in Liaodong, and led a large army to attack the Liaodong Peninsula, pacified Fuyu, Goguryeo and other Liaodong vassal states. At this point, the world surrendered and the world was unified. The Western Jin emperor Li Li took charge of China and ruled the world.

In 220 AD, that is, the eighth year of Huanglong, the Western Jin Dynasty, Emperor Li Li invited Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, Liu Cong, Sun Quan, and Sun Shao to the Weiyang Palace.

At the banquet, Li Li, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang sat around the table. There was no words, but no hatred between them. At least, Cao Cao and Liu Bei did not show a hatred for Li Li. They were drunk and drunk half an hour later, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were blushing and were already drunk. After getting drunk, Cao Cao and Liu Bei had no scruples anymore, and said nonsense, counting the gains and losses of Li Li in the past eight years after he pacified the world. Then they turned up the old accounts eight years ago and commented on Li Li. When they were excited, they even pointed at Li Li's nose and cursed. Liu Zhang did not dare to say much, and did not speak a word during the meal, and buried himself in drinking.

However, Li Li, who was over forty years, was not angry at all. While listening to Cao Cao and Liu Bei scolding him unscrupulously, he poured wine for them and interjected from time to time to add to the old things they had gradually forgotten, so that they would not be able to explain clearly after thinking hard for a long time.

After the banquet, Sun Quan, who was in his thirties, left a sentence before leaving: "Only those who win are qualified to judge right or wrong, merits and demerits, are qualified to judge. History books are written by the winners. The two uncles (Cao Cao and Liu Bei) offended each other, so please forgive me!" After saying that, Sun Quan and Sun Shao's uncle and nephew supported the drunk Cao Cao and Liu Bei and slowly walked out of the Weiyang Palace, and then returned to the "mansion" under the escort of the imperial guards.

Watching them leave, Li Li felt lost and said to himself: "I didn't expect that Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan became friends instead, and they also formed a deep relationship with uncle and nephew. Twenty years of glorious years and forty years, I, Li Li, won the world, but eventually became a lonely man. Things are impermanent!"

The seat ended and the sun set. Li Li stood in front of Weiyang Palace, looking up at the sunset with his hands behind his back, and a long-lost song emerged in his mind:

"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes.

Right or wrong, success or failure, turn the head empty).

The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red for several times.

The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter are on the river bank, and are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze.

A pot of turbid wine meets happily.

How many things happen in ancient and modern times are all laughing at.”
