Kong Ming's allocation has been decided. First, he led 5,000 soldiers to retreat from Xicheng County to carry hay. Suddenly, the flying horse reported for more than ten times and said, "Sima Yi led 150 thousand troops, and I hope the west city will flock!" "At that time, there was no general around Kongming, only a group of civilian officials, and the five thousand soldiers he led had sent half of the hay, leaving only two thousand five hundred troops in the city. Hearing the news, all the officials turned pale. Kong Ming went to the city to have a look, and sure enough, it was dusty. Wei Bing watched Xicheng County kill him in two ways. Kong Ming ordered that "all flags should be hidden; "All the troops are guarding the store city. If there are people who make mistakes and talk big, cut them off Open four doors, each with twenty soldiers, pretending to be ordinary people and sweeping the streets. If Wei Bing comes, don't move. I have my own plans. " In front of the watchtower in the city, Zhuge Liang sat on the railing, burning incense and playing the piano.
Sima yi's former army sentry came to the gate, saw this battle, and dared not go in. He reported to Sima yi urgently. Yida couldn't believe it with a smile, so he stopped three armies and looked at them from a distance. If you see Kong Ming sitting on the rostrum, smiling, burning incense and playing the piano. There is a boy on the left, holding a sword; There is a boy on the right, with a tail in his hand. Inside and outside the city gate, more than twenty people bowed their heads and offered sacrifices, and no one was around. Easy to see big doubts, so I went to teach the rear army to be the former army and the former army to be the rear army, and looked back at Beishan Road. Si Mazhao, the second son, said, "Is Zhuge Liang doing this because he has no army? Why did my father flinch? " Sima Yi said, "Liang was cautious all his life and never took risks. If the gate is opened today, there will be an ambush. If our soldiers advance, they will fall into a trap. Do you know that?/You know what? It is advisable to retreat quickly. " So both soldiers retreated. Seeing Wei Jun gone, Kong Ming clapped his hands and smiled. The ministers were frightened and asked Zhuge Liang, "Sima Yi is a famous Wei. Today150,000 elite soldiers came here and quickly retreated when they met the Prime Minister. Why? " Zhuge Liang said, "This man knows that I have been cautious all my life and will never take risks. Seeing this, I suspected an ambush, so I retreated. I'm not taking a risk, so I have to use it because I have to. This man will lead an army to the North Temple. I have asked Xing and Bao to wait there. " Everyone was surprised and said, "The prime minister's opportunity is unpredictable. If someone thinks so, they will abandon the city. " Zhuge Liang said: "Our army is only 2,500 people. If you leave the city, you can't escape far. Isn't it captured by Sima Yi? " Later generations have a poem praising: "The seven heroes defeated the mighty division with three feet, and Zhuge Xicheng retreated from the enemy. 150,000 people returned to the horse, and the natives pointed out that it was suspicious. " Then he clapped his hands and laughed and said, "If I were Sima Yi, it would be inconvenient to leave." Then he ordered people from Xicheng to join the army in Hanzhong. Sima Yi will come back. So Kong Ming left Xicheng and looked at Hanzhong. Officials, soldiers and civilians from Tianshui, Anding and Nan 'an counties came one after another.
Sima Yi looked at the path of Wugong Mountain and walked away. Suddenly, behind the hillside, there was a shout of killing the sky, and the drums shook the ground. Yi looked back at his second son and said, "If I don't leave, I will fall into Zhuge Liang's trap." I saw an army killed on the road, and the banner read "General Zhang Bao, the right-back of Tiger River North". Wei Bing dropped his armor and left. Less than a journey, shouts shook the valley, drums sounded loud, and a banner was hung in front, which read: "The left guard ordered General Long Xiang to accept." Gu answered, I don't know how many Shu soldiers there are; What's more, Wei Jun suspicious, dare not stop for a long time, had to abandon the trench and go. Xing and Bao did not dare to chase after the order, so they came back with many weapons and hay. Seeing that there were Shu soldiers in the valley, Sima Yi did not dare to go out and returned to the street pavilion.
