Chapter 9: Adding weapons and soldiers

"Prime Minister, the forty carriages you want, two hundred flying ladders, three hundred cannon cars, and two thousand Shu sharks are all ready." Jiang Wei went straight into the commander's tent.

Maybe it's because of his temper. Every time Kong Ming sees Jiang Wei, he feels like it from the bottom of his heart.

"Bojo, thank you for your hard work this time. According to Bojo's opinion, can we conquer Luoyang and can we capture all the Wei army in Guandong in one place?"

"This time, Ji Han devoted his whole country to the power of thunder and attacked Luoyang from three sides. Although Luoyang is also considered as the capital of Cao Wei, it is known as the eight gates and iron-clad locks, but after all, he has been poisoned in recent years and was destroyed by wars, which is not the victory at that time. Since the Battle of Weinan, Cao Wei moved the capital to Yecheng due to Ji Han's strength. Luoyang is no longer as prosperous as before. It depends on the Prime Minister's thoughts. This time, it is not that he can conquer but that he cannot conquer, but how to bring the minimum damage to Luoyang with the minimum loss."

Kong Ming laughed: "Those who know me are Bojo."

Jiang Wei asked, "Prime Minister, I heard from others during the day. Sima Zhao is already in the army. The Prime Minister is more aware of his actions. According to the last sentence, this person is still suspicious and cannot be reused."

Kong Ming smiled and said, "This person is not suspicious, but is undoubtedly surrendering. During the day, I asked him to curse the formation in front of the formation to attack Cao Wei's morale. He bullied me and was not in front of the formation. He openly shouted: "My lord is wise, Cao Wei is stupid, false benevolence, shameless and vulgar, surrender to me, save his life, if you surrender too late, you will be burned! "How could I arrange a fine person to repay him word by word. Boyue, may you hear the true meaning of this?"

Jiang Wei was stunned and smiled and said, "This is the code word for the first sentence. The first words, third, fifth and seventy four sentences are connected, which are the four words 'I pretend to surrender'. It seems that he really thinks that Ji Han is gone."

Kong Ming smiled and said, "That's right."

Jiang Wei said: "How about I go and expose him, force him to write a letter to his father, and trick Sima Yi from the city, maybe, give him a holiday news and let him be a book-stealing Jiang Gan?"

Kong Ming shook his head: "This person is no less smart than you. If you do this, you will be afraid that things will be reversed. If you expose him and force him to write a letter, how do you know if there is any code in the letter he wrote? Then if you write me a letter, if the word "Beichen" is not added to the head, I will definitely know that this is not your hand. How can you know that his father has no such method? During the holiday news, he dares to take the risk to ask to walk in the camp. This is to test whether I trust him. I am afraid that I will not actively contact the city in a short period of time, otherwise If that is the case, wouldn’t he underestimate me too much? Even if I didn’t notice the code words in front of him, how could I easily trust him, a surrendered general? Moreover, I am better than Sima Yi. I bully the weak with the strong, and there are no such two things. At present, I have five benefits, and there are five harms. I am trusted by Your Majesty to govern the entire country’s troops. I will overcome a county’s territory. This is a benefit; Sima Yi will lead a group of people and guard a city without help in times of danger. This is a harm; I have the trust of Your Majesty, receive the courtesy of the national scholars, perform the affairs of Duke Zhou, and govern the army. These are two benefits; and Ma Yi is in a suspicious place, and he is able to use one person's wisdom to govern the mixed divisions. These are two harms; Ji Han has been recuperating for several years, his troops are good and his food is sufficient, and he is invincible in battle, and his morale is high. These are three benefits; Cao Wei first changed a new emperor. The emperor was suspicious of the country. He was in the northeastern border of Hebei and suffered several defeats. The soldiers had no fighting spirit and had few good talents. These are three harms; Ji Shuntian responded to his orders and restored the old capital, and the people's hearts were available, and these are four benefits; Cao Wei forced his former master to usurp the world, and people's hearts were uneasy. These are four harms; Ji Han had Eastern Wu as his wings in the south, and the Xiongnu as his minions in the north. The Southern Barbarians and Western Qiang all have aid troops, and the four borders are stable and there is no worries about these five benefits. Cao Wei was attacked from all sides, including Eastern Wu, Ji Han, Xianbei, Wuwan and Gongsun clans in the north, and these five harms are fired everywhere. With these five benefits and five harms, our army will win. Sima Yi is not inferior to me, but unfortunately, his father and son did not get the position of you and me, and could not fully display their talents. Instead, they were restricted and controlled by you and me everywhere. I once imagined that if I were to be in a different place, I might not be able to win."

Looking at Kong Ming's calm face and talking happily, Jiang Wei felt very calm and knew that the gentleman had made a decision on taking Luoyang, so he listened to the following.

Kong Ming continued, "However, I look at the new Emperor of Cao Wei. Although he was young, he was also a wise lord. He could not underestimate him. Since he ascended to the top, he has valued old ministers, was good at accepting advice, and did not use punishment lightly, and won the hearts of the people. From this point of view, it is still difficult for Cao Wei to go down in one go. Therefore, I still want to alienate Sima Yi and have different intentions. Even if he cannot surrender, he will have to hit him so that he can't raise his head."

Jiang Wei thought for a while: "I know, so I will find a way to arrange someone to release rumors, saying that Sima Yi is secretly discussing peace with our army and wants to hand over Luoyang to us."

Kong Ming smiled and said, "It will be boring to use the same strategy twice. This time, I will play Sima Yi with one move, so he can't even cry. You are like this, like this..."

Jiang Wei nodded repeatedly.

............

"Look, this is the latest siege car, it seems to be called a manure car." A thick and powerful soldier shouted as he touched the huge vehicle.

"Get out, don't talk nonsense, what kind of manure cart," a middle-aged soldier laughed and scolded, "This is called a fen hank, with four large wheels, a light huge rope on the car is used to make the back of the car, covering it with rhinoceros skin, ten people can be hidden among them, used to transport soil to fill the moat, can reach the city directly, and can also dig the city wall. Whether it is arrows, crossbows, rolling wood, rocks, or torches, it cannot hurt it. This is a treasure. In addition, the short-handled iron slurry of our Shu specialty, no kind of city wall can stop it. Good guy, now I am confident. If it weren't for our prime minister, who could have created such a weapon."

"Wow, there are so many cannon cars, crossbows, and flying ladders, we are so developed."

"Of course, our prime minister is a god who descends to earth and specializes in protecting our Majesty to conquer the world. Now, Sima Yi has a good fruit."

"I said I haven't attacked Cao Wei during this period. It turns out that the Prime Minister is preparing this magical weapon. With it, even ten more Luoyang cities will be captured."

"That's it, that's it." The soldiers yelled.

In the distance, Sima Zhao slowly walked by with his head down, telling some jokes to the followers while walking, making the followers laugh.

Sima Zhao pretended to look at the sky and found that the fake foolish light flashed through the eyes of people.

Sure enough, there was no incompetent person in Ji Han's army.

Sima Zhao was a little panicked. What he did a few days ago is really no problem?

............

"Wow, no, that's Guan Xiaojunhou. He's back from Xiliang!" A soldier shouted, "Guan Xiaojunhou's martial arts are no longer inferior to Laojunhou. It seems that even the young tiger, Lord Jiang, cannot beat him. This time he leads the army back, and the Wei army has no chance."

"Ah. Xiliang Iron Cavalry, is that General Ma Dai?" Another soldier exclaimed, "I know him. His gunshot and archery skills are excellent. When he fought with General Wei, he once shot General Wei Yan with one arrow."

"There have been reinforcements these days, and our troops are several times more than Cao Wei. Our army will definitely win!"

"Of course, I will win. You don't know, because we didn't attack the city, it's not that we couldn't capture it, but that we were afraid that Cao Wei would break through and escape."

"So that's the case. I'm telling me why we can obviously go down in one go, but instead of attacking the city, we will win people's hearts and let the people in Luoyang go out of the city to get water and chop wood."

The person next to Sima Zhao suddenly shouted: "Look, that's Lord Guan Ping. The person he accompanied was Lord Huang Quan and Huang. I even fed him a horse." Sima Zhao was stunned and saw a man with white face and short beard in his thirties and a man in his forties wearing a golden helmet surrounded by everyone.

Could it be that the Han army has really increased its troops?

Or is it a trick to deceive yourself?

............

Sima Zhao was a little uneasy.

Did the Han army really increase its troops? They didn't want the Western Regions and the Western Qiang Kingdom, but they actually brought Huang Quan, Guan Ping and Ma Dai to Luoyang. If so, can Luoyang still defend it? With the ability of their father, they can stop them? Should they find a way to report the news?

He came to the front line and secretly communicated with the city through the curse. But he didn't dare to do anything easily, because he knew that Zhuge Kongming was not so easy to deceive. He even thought about whether he should create a few small misunderstandings to make people think that he was communicated with the city and then report to Kong Ming. When they came to check, they found that he was helping Ji Han with all his heart. In this way, Zhuge Liang would feel more at ease with him. This was the reason why he asked to go around the camp. Unexpectedly, this was the turn of the world and discovered so many urgent military information. What should I do? What should I do?

At this time, he received news from Kong Ming looking for him.

"Transfer to Sima Zhao." The general shouted in the tent.

Sima Zhao calmed down and walked slowly to the commander's tent. Kong Ming sat there reviewing the memorials, with only two guards guarding him. Sima Zhao knew that although Kong Ming did not know martial arts, the guards around him were all brave men who had experienced many battles, and each one was a general above the military marquis. However, even without these guards, Sima Zhao felt that he did not have the courage to deal with the seemingly weak and thin Zhuge Liang. Who knows how many strange and lewd things he had that could easily take human life like a serial crossbow?

"See the Prime Minister." Sima Zhao saluted honestly.

"Forget it, sit down." Kong Ming didn't raise his head and continued to write, "Are you used to it in the camp these days?"

"fine."

"No one bullies you."

"No. In Ji Han's army, the upper and lower levels are one. Not to mention me, even Hu'er's barbarians, they are also treated together. How can they bully them?"

"That's fine. You've been walking in the camp these days, but can you tell me what's wrong?"

Sima Zhao was sweating profusely, and Cang Kuaili sat down: "The Prime Minister clearly saw that the villain did not dare to investigate the military situation!"

"Get up, I'm not a tiger, I can eat you, but I can't. You are the timid behind the general. Since I let you walk in the camp, I'm not afraid of you watching you learn. My Eighth Formation can be learned by just a few glances, and my military personnel, or you can tell your father a few glances, or you can tell your father any losses. To be honest, I hope you are a fraudulent surrender. You walk in my camp to explore our military situation and tell your father the truth."

Sima Zhao fell to the ground and shook into a ball: "Prime Minister, since he returned to Ji Han, he has been loyal and has never been able to surrender. When he was in Chang'an, all the responsibilities assigned by His Majesty, it was common for him to stay awake for several days. Before coming to the army, I came to the city and sacrificed my life, and did not retreat in the face of my father. If the Prime Minister doubted me, then I would like to commit suicide to show my thoughts."

Kong Ming smiled, but his peaceful eyes seemed to penetrate the fog sun, making Sima Zhao feel that he was standing naked in front of him, and he had no way to escape from him.

"Zi Shang, I didn't say you were a fraudulent surrender? Why are you nervous? But to be honest, I still admire your father very much. I hope he can surrender to Ji Han, and I sincerely hope. Of course, he may not agree, so please ask him to withdraw his troops as soon as possible and leave Luoyang, otherwise he will not be able to leave. I plan to send you to Luoyang and tell your father these words in person, do you dare to go?"

"this……"

"What? I said that for Ji Han, I am willing to commit suicide to express my feelings. Is it afraid that I will be like this if I ask you to send a letter to the city?"

"Okay, I'll go."

Kong Ming picked up a letter written long ago from the desk, the guard took it and handed it to Sima Zhao: "Talk this letter to your father in person, and you must not let others see it. Go and have a good meal. Remember, from tomorrow, I will attack the city, no matter whether your father surrenders or not, no matter whether you come back."

Sima Zhao was shocked and confused, and had no choice but to set off and head to Luoyang.

The name was reported under the city, and under the strange gaze of the guards at the city gate, Sima Zhao was led to the commander's mansion.

After waiting for a while, Sima Yi was raised to the tent surrounded by the generals. He snorted coldly and his eyes were like an eagle. The generals from different places immediately became strict. Sima Yi's laws were extremely strict. He would never have any feelings when he said he would kill him.

"Let the Han envoys from outside the gate report to the door!"

Sima Zhao was stunned. Didn’t his father understand what he scolded outside the city that day? Even if he really didn’t understand, he shouldn’t humiliate his son like this. You know, his words were like he was entering the door, and every loud scream was equivalent to spitting phlegm in the Sima family’s ancestral hall.

However, he had no choice but to shout loudly: "Sima Zhao, the envoy of Ji Han, wrote a letter to the governor of the Wei State, Sima."

While reporting and walking in, although Sima Zhao was a long-standing battle formation, his face turned red and his heart beat hard. Sima Shi lowered his head, not even the courage to raise his head. Only Sima Yi seemed to be a stranger who came in, and his grim face did not even move wrinkles.
