Zhuge Liang arranged for Ma Su to be stationed at Jieting to stop the Wei army's counterattack.
Ma Su had always been arrogant. He thought he could become a general just because he had given Zhuge Liang some advice during the Seven Captures of Meng Huo.
He went against Zhuge Liang's arrangement and gave up the water source and town at the foot of the mountain. He chose to wait on the mountain to defend the high ground.
Vice General Wang Ping had repeatedly advised Ma Su to station the army according to the normal art of war.
Ma Su said," You can only survive if you put yourself in a desperate situation. The soldiers are high up in the sky and can fight against ten people!”
When the Wei army attacked, they would surround the foot of the mountain and cut off the water source.
The Han army did not face a situation where they had to face death and come back to life. They were all routed and fled in all directions.
With the fall of Jie Ting, Zhuge Liang's attack this time had nothing to rely on. He was instantly in a state of emptiness.
If they didn't retreat in time, the Wei army would immediately wipe out the Han army.
……
"Zhuge Liang, I have said before that Ma Su will never achieve great things. He has always been proud and arrogant. He can be a counselor, but if he becomes a general, he will only be confused.”
Liu Bei sighed.
He could no longer accept a greater failure.
"Military Advisor, why did you use Ma Su? Among the five virtues of the Ma family, Bai Mei was the best, but Ma Su was ranked last.”
Guan Yu also had a regretful expression on his face. He wished he could go over personally and guard the street pavilion.
Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh with a bitter smile. Who could understand his feelings?
"Advisor Jun, why don't you let me go instead of Ma Su? As long as I shout outside the street pavilion, I will definitely make the Wei army retreat without fighting!”
Zhang Fei was so angry that he complained.
However, just as he finished speaking, he saw Liu Bei glaring at him. He quickly covered his mouth.
Only then did he realize that he was already dead at that time.
After Liu Guanzhang left, 750,000 soldiers were burned. When Zhuge Liang went north, how many generals would he have left?
Wei Yan might be able to defend the pavilion, but he was more arrogant than Ma Su and looked down on others.
When Zhuge Liang rejected his "Ziwu Valley's strange plan", Wei Yan had already started to rebel.
As for General Wu Yi, he was not on the same side as Zhuge Liang and had never gotten along with him.
Zhuge Liang could only use Ma Su, who had not fought many battles.
To be on the safe side, he even made Wang Ping his deputy general.
Even if he was a pig, he would not have collapsed so quickly. This Ma Su wanted to use a strange scheme, but he had played himself into it.
In the end, the impact of Liu Guanzhang's death was far-reaching.
" Sigh, it's indeed one wrong step, followed by another…"
Liu Bei shook his head, his lips trembling and his eyes flickering.
"If the three of us were still alive, if so many soldiers were still around, Ma Su wouldn't have to guard the street pavilion.”
"Kong Ming, it's been hard on you."
Liu Bei held his hand and comforted him.
Only then did everyone understand Zhuge Liang's hardships.
At that time, it would be good enough for the Han Dynasty to resist the Cao Wei's attack.
Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was an impossible mission.
However, he had taken advantage of Cao Wei.
"My lord, I will not let you down. This short loss will not affect the overall situation.”
……
Faced with Zhuge Liang's unfavorable start in the Northern Expedition, the emperors and generals of various space-times all had a look of pity.
Qin Shi Huang: " Zhuge Liang was able to take down the three counties of Hanzhong with a small number of troops. It was not easy. Such a battle record is unprecedented!!”
"Is the Great Han Dynasty really going to perish?" The Great Han had the destiny, so the heavens would definitely help him!!”
"Zhuge Liang used his troops well, but the generals were incompetent. They caused Zhuge Liang to suffer."。What a pity."
Sima Cuo replied," Back then, I led my troops to the Sword Garret and destroyed the Shu Kingdom with ease. It was too difficult to counterattack from Ba and Shu.。”
……
Sima Yi led the 150,000 Wei troops to pursue the victory. The first thing they did was to sweep towards the west city where Zhuge Liang was stationed.
As for the west side, there were no other generals guarding it. Only Zhuge Liang and 2,000 soldiers were left behind.
The news that Ma Su had lost Jieting infuriated Zhuge Liang. He had already given him a defensive plan, but Ma Su had changed it without permission!
However, he did not have time to think about this matter. When everyone saw Sima Yi's army approaching, they were instantly shocked and wanted to escape.
Zhuge Liang went upstairs to observe. He focused for a few breaths and already had a plan in mind.
He told everyone not to panic. Sima Yi had led tens of thousands of cavalrymen. It was too late to escape now.
However, as long as he made clever arrangements, the enemy would retreat without fighting. The soldiers knew that the military was resourceful and obeyed his arrangements.
Zhuge Liang first gave the order to hide all the flags, and the soldiers stayed where they were. If anyone acted on their own or made a noise, they would be executed immediately.
Then, he had people open the four gates, looking as if he was welcoming them into the city.
At each city gate, there were more than 20 soldiers dressed like civilians cleaning the streets.
As for Zhuge Liang himself, he was wearing a Daoist robe, a silk scarf, a feather fan, and a silk cloth as he sat on the city tower.
In front of him was a bunch of zither, and behind him stood two errand boys.
He had a calm and composed expression.
Then, the errand boy burned incense, while Zhuge Liang played the zither, feeling very uncomfortable.
When Sima Yi's vanguard arrived at the city gates, they were frightened by the peaceful scene and hesitated.
They scratched their heads and did not know what was going on.
Great Wei's 150,000 strong army is attacking, shouldn't you abandon the city and run?
Sweeping the floor, burning incense, playing the zither?
What did he mean?
