The allied forces of the Tang and Duan Kingdoms probably never dreamed that the creek next to the forest had been dug by Zhuge Liang when he first arrived in Jin.

Yes, that stream is an artificial stream.

Zhuge Liang did this to lure the enemy into the forest under the scorching sun.

This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang retreated steadily after coming to Jin. The real purpose is actually here.

The timing was just right.

The heat, the heat, the lack of water, any piece of information is enough to send the coalition forces to the forest to escape the heat and look for water.

What if they don't go to the forest and set up camp?

That would be more in line with Zhuge Liang's wishes. If they didn't go, he would be sure to defeat them in one fell swoop if they faced the chance of water shortage.

What he originally said that our military strength has surpassed that of the coalition forces was actually a metaphor.

In the scorching heat, the enemy officers and soldiers threw off their helmets and armor and went bare-chested, so that they could withstand an army of 50,000 men.

Lack of water, wouldn't it be fatal if it's so hot and there's no water to drink?

In this way, it can withstand an army of 50,000, right?

Only after these layers are added up can we get the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words.

Now in the meeting hall, Zhuge Liang said to all the soldiers: "God help us, late at night today, the wind suddenly rose, and in the dead of night, it is the time to defeat the enemy!"

What is the most important thing about marching and fighting?

It means that the time, place and people are favorable, and among them, the time of day is the most important. Zhuge Liang controls the time of the day, and the enemy retreats into the forest. It is obvious that the Wei army has the right time and place, so how can it be invincible?

After the soldiers heard this, some of them deduce how the battle should be fought based on what the prime minister asked them to prepare.

It's fire attack!

Zi Shi.

A strong wind is blowing.

The coalition forces camped here.

The Wei army was sneaking here and fired countless rockets. Then the trebuchets were moved out of the city and were projecting fierce fire oil into the forest.

Using both methods, the entire forest suddenly started to catch fire.

The coalition camp was deeply affected.

They shouted enemy attack over and over again in the firelight.

However, the merciless fire burned in the scorching heat.

Many coalition soldiers were engulfed in flames.

This was a disastrous battle.

Many enemy soldiers were burned by the fire.

Since it is an enemy attack, the commanders of both armies must organize large armies to resist.

But the fire was really too big, and it was a fire in the mountains and forests.

The commanders of both armies knew that the battle was lost, so they thought they could reduce casualties as much as possible, so they ordered the soldiers to start retreating to the stream.

At this time, Zhuge Liang did something extraordinary. He ordered people to cut off the upper source of the stream and cut off their escape route.

The entire coalition army was overwhelmed by the fire and collapsed.

Zhuge Liang did not follow the army to encircle and suppress the enemy.

Instead, he and Cao Cao watched the fire in the distance on the top of the city.

They all know in their hearts that as long as the fire breaks out, it means that this war has been won.

Cao Cao looked at the fire in the distance and seemed to have seen countless people dying in the flames. He bowed to Zhuge Liang and said: "Prime Minister, this time, I really learned something. It turns out that the moment the Prime Minister entered the territory of Jin,

I have already anticipated this scene, so I have planned it layer by layer and concealed it from the outside. This ability to predict the unknown is really extremely rare and extremely admirable."

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "My dear nephew, have you learned this?"

Cao Cao clasped his fists and said, "Young generation has learned."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "That's what war is like. Before starting a war, you have to think about how to fight this battle in order to win. But the first condition for victory is to make yourself invincible."

Cao Cao bowed again and said: "Uncle, among the officers and men in the Wei army, in terms of their ability to march and fight, I am afraid that my uncle will bear the brunt of it."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "There are always crouching tigers and hidden dragons in our army, so we should not underestimate them. For example, General Chen Qingzhi, who is now the king of Jin, is not inferior to me in terms of combat ability. If I were to fight against him, the outcome would only be five to five."

Five points."

Cao Cao was stunned.

He has never met Chen Qingzhi, but he has heard a lot about his deeds.

Even when his father was chatting with him, he praised Chen Qingzhi without hesitation.

In the Wei State, who has the most ability to expand territory, it is definitely Chen Qingzhi.

This man is good at military training and good at lightning combat. His white-robed army is even known as the best army in the world among Wei Wu soldiers. Together with the heavy armored cavalry that His Majesty relies on, they are collectively known as the two armies of the Wei Dynasty.

You really must get to know such a peerless person, otherwise it will be a pity.

After Zhuge Liang saw Cao Cao's expression, he smiled knowingly and said: "We can only achieve what we have today after meeting Your Majesty. Therefore, Your Majesty is the most talented one in the Wei Kingdom.

In the entire history, Qin Shihuang is the only person who is capable, knows people well and employs people as accurately as your Majesty."

Cao Cao couldn't help but exclaimed, "If this troubled times cannot be brought to an end by Your Majesty, then there will be no one in the world who can be worthy of being the co-lord of heaven and earth."

Zhuge Liang thought so.

On the 21st day of the seventh month in the Taichu calendar of the Wei Kingdom, the Tang and Duan coalition forces were defeated outside Huaiyang City, with a total of about 300,000 casualties. After this battle, there was no fighting in the northern border of the Jin Kingdom for a short period of time, and the Tang Kingdom's commander Deng Qi was captured.

Duanguo's commander-in-chief, Yan Xing, led the remaining defeated troops and ran away.

This battle was recorded in history books as the "Battle of Huaiyang".

When Zhao Changqing received Zhuge Liang's military information and battle report, Long Yan was overjoyed. The battle was fought happily, as expected of Zhuge Liang!

That’s awesome!

In a fire plan, 500,000 people were torn to pieces and 300,000 people were wiped out in ashes. This is even worse than Bai Qi!

However, the difference is that the latter's behavior will be worse.

In the Xuanzheng Hall.

Zhao Changqing asked Jia Xu: "You said that this Zhuge Liang is already a very popular minister. If he goes one step further, he will be crowned king. And we already have a king with a different surname in Wei. How should I reward him this time?"

Woolen cloth?"

After fighting such a big victory, logically speaking, a reward should be given, but there is no chance of a reward. What should we do?

Jia Xu also fell into deep thought.

It's not that he didn't think of a way to deal with it, but it's a matter of the Prime Minister, so it's better to be cautious.

Zhao Changqing saw Jia Xu's appearance and said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Jia Xu frowned slightly, then bowed and said: "Your Majesty, if you can't seal the seal, just don't seal it. If you really want to seal it, just say that Prime Minister Zhuge has worked hard for the country day and night, and he is exhausted physically and mentally.

His hard work and merit are so great that he needs to rest for a few days. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

When Zhao Changqing heard this, he laughed and said: "What you said makes sense, so let's do it!"

In this way, it not only suppressed the suspicion that Zhuge Liang might be superior to the master, but also gave him an early warning.

The benefits in details are countless.

What is Xiu Mu?

Just a vacation.

If you win the battle, how many days off will you get as a reward?
