i have a fortune pen

In February of the seventh year of Jianxing (AD 231), Cao Zhen, the commander of the Wei army on the west front, was critically ill. After Zhuge Liang received the news, he immediately reorganized his troops and sent troops out of Qishan, launching the fourth Northern Expedition.

The Shu army was coming fiercely, and the Wei army was in a hurry on the west front. In desperation, Wei Mingdi Cao Rui had to transfer Sima Yi from the east to the west for emergency.

On this day, in the camp of the Shu army, Zhuge Liang called all the generals to discuss matters.

"Everyone, Cao Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, is now critically ill, and it is a good time for us to attack!" Zhuge Liang looked around at the generals and said, "According to my estimation, Wei Guo should send our old opponent Sima Yi over to support us.

He has just arrived, and he still has no good grasp of the situation here. We will take advantage of the situation and strive for a big victory. Do you have confidence? "

"Have!"

The earth-shattering response resounded in the big tent, Zhuge Liang looked at the crowd with satisfaction, then turned to ask Qin Xiu.

"Qin Xiu, how is the process of making the wooden cow and horse?"

"Return to the Prime Minister, a batch has been produced in batches and is available for use!"

"it is good!"

Zhuge Liang shouted and nodded towards Qin Xiu.

Qin Xiu walked out of the tent, and for a while controlled a wooden ox and a flowing horse to the big tent.

As soon as Mu Niu and Liu Ma entered the big tent, they immediately caused a sensation.

Wei Yan: "Damn it, Qin Xiu, you made this monster out again?"

Ma Dai: "Hey, wonderful, wonderful, this object is really rare!"

Zhang Bao: "I don't care, is this a wooden cow and horse? Can it still carry things?"

Guan Xing: "Excellent, with this thing, wouldn't it save a lot of manpower?"

Seeing everyone talking about each other, Zhuge Liang showed a smug smile on his face.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Zhuge Liang held a feather fan in his hand and nodded to everyone, and everyone fell silent.

"Everyone, everyone must have seen it just now. Qin Xiu brought in two moving objects! They are all developed by me and can be used to transport food in the middle of Shu and Qishan. One of them is called a wooden cow. It is suitable for running on sandy roads and muddy roads, and can carry about 600-800 jin of grain; the other one is called Liuma, which is suitable for fast transportation on flat ground, and can carry about 150-200 jin of grain."

Zhuge Liang was eloquently talking about his masterpiece, Wei Yan was startled underneath, and he shouted loudly, "Prime Minister, you developed these two moving objects?"

"Yes, why did General Wei ask this question?" Zhuge Liang looked at Wei Yan, and suddenly frowned, "Huh? General Wei asked Qin Xiu just now, saying that he made Zhuge's monster again? Could it be that General Wei has seen this before?" thing? I thought I was the only one to invent it, but someone else developed it earlier than me!"

"Uh, no, I haven't seen it!"

Wei Yan smiled wryly, and quickly denied it. The ghost would say that I just kicked Qin Xiu to pieces a few days ago!

"No, Qin Xiu told me that he controlled the wooden cow to go to your camp before, and just happened to meet you coming back from the outside, saying that you two have been studying for a while!" Zhuge Liang smiled evilly, "Hey, but he Tell me, it seems that I was unlucky that day, the wooden ox was loaded with too much stuff and it collapsed! General Wei doesn’t want to mention this, is it because he is afraid of embarrassing me?”

"Hehe, it's okay. I'm not afraid of making a fool of myself. If there is a problem, I will improve it. This will have a good effect!" Zhuge Liang walked up to Wei Yan and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you, General Wei!"

"I am over-flattered!"

Wei Yan cupped his fists in greeting.

"Next, I'll tell you about this!" Zhuge Liang returned to the sand table in the middle of the big tent, pointed to the map in front of him, and said, "Now that the Wei army's western front is declining, it is a good time for us to send troops. Zhengsheng, plus we have wooden oxen and horses to transport food, we only need a small team to escort it, which can save a lot of troops compared to before."

Zhuge Liang held a feather fan in his hand and continued to command from above, but Qin Xiu was a little bit troubled underground. Now that he has learned the art of making wooden cows and horses, should he continue to stay and follow Kong Ming for a while to see if there is any improvement? To the future, back to his own life?

After several struggles, Qin Xiu finally decided to stay temporarily and follow Kong Ming for a period of time to experience what this wooden cow and horse would look like after a real war. Only in this way can its quality and practicality be truly tested.

"I have taught Qin Xiu the art of making wooden cows and horses, and he will be responsible for the dispatch and escort of food and grass in the future!" Zhuge Liang pointed at Qin Xiu and pushed him down in front of everyone, "If you have any good suggestions, you can directly And Qin Xiuti, he will adopt everyone's reasonable opinions."

"Break out the camp!"

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan, and the soldiers outside immediately blew their horns. Zhuge Liang's fourth Northern Expedition in history officially began.

The Shu army surrounded Qishan, and Zhuge Liang ordered the soldiers to come forward and call for battle. As an old opponent for many years, Sima Yi knew Zhuge Liang very well, so he ordered the Wei army to stand firm and not fight.

Zhuge Liang's famous soldiers kept calling for battle every day, and Sima Yi ordered him to stand firm and not fight. He just drank, read, and sang and danced in the barracks every day.

The generals of the Wei army can hardly stand the yelling and scolding of the Shu army. It's not like we can't beat each other. Why are we shrinking our heads like a tortoise and shrinking in the barracks every day?
Zhang He, the famous general of the Wei Army, couldn't hold back anymore, so he went to Sima Yi's camp to talk to him.

"Zhongda, the Shu army has been yelling and cursing like this for almost a month, why can't you hold on?" Zhang He slapped his thigh fiercely, "Our Wei army is strong and strong, and we will use elite soldiers to meet their fatigue. , can be destroyed in one fell swoop.”

"Hahaha, Junyi, don't panic, don't panic, come here, and have a drink with me!" Sima Yi smiled and pulled Zhang Yun to sit down at the table, and poured him a glass of wine, "Of course I do this. My reasoning, you just listen to me."

"Mr. Zhuge, the Northern Expedition has been done many times, but all ended in failure! Why?"

"Of course my Wei army is strong and strong, and we are invincible!"

"No, no!" Sima Yi shook his head, "Zhuge Liang is no worse than me in using troops, so you should not underestimate him. The reason why he has failed many times in sending troops is because of a very important reason!"

"what reason?"

"forage!"

"forage?"

"Yes!" Sima Yi nodded, "The food and grass of the Shu army are basically stored in the Jiange, and they cannot be transported out in time, so their army cannot fight for a long time or for a long time!"

"Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful, Zhongda!" Zhang Yun stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "With you, the Zhuge villager has been yelling and scolding for almost a month. Although we didn't fight, his The army also needs to eat and drink, so it is estimated that there is not much food and grass by now?"

"Junyi, so, we just need to drink, read, sing, dance and wait for Villager Zhuge to retreat by himself!"

"Hahaha, wonderful!"

Zhang Xi drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and jumped up happily.
