Dingjun Mountain is rarely visited due to its dangerous terrain. When Sima Zhao led his troops here, the setting sun shone, and the towering Dingjun Mountain was shrouded in blood. Except for the chirping in the sky, the trees returned to the forest.

Apart from the flying birds, there was no other sound.

Apparently Jiang Wei's army was still on its way to Dingjun Mountain and had not arrived here.

Sima Zhao was very interested. He pointed his riding whip at Dingjun Mountain in front of him and said to Guo Huai: "Is the place in front of you the burial place of Xiahou Miaocai?"

Guo Huai said: "Exactly."

Sima Zhao said: "Dingjun Mountain is so steep. As long as Xiahou Yuan can't get out, the Shu people can do nothing to him. Why was he beheaded by Shu general Huang Zhong?"

Guo Huai pointed to a lonely peak opposite Dingjun Mountain and said: "The Shu people occupied the opposite peak at that time. From a high position, they could overlook Dingjun Mountain. Xia Houyuan was impatient and was not willing to be looked at by the Shu people like this.

, then fought to the foot of the mountain to challenge him, but the Shu army refused to fight. When Xia Houyuan relaxed, Shu general Huang Zhong suddenly came and killed Xia Houyuan. Xia Houyuan was caught off guard and was beheaded on the spot, with his body divided into two parts.

Sima Zhao took a look. Although the opposite mountain is not as wide as Dingjun Mountain, it is higher than Dingjun Mountain. It is impossible to station people and horses on the top of the mountain. However, you can send a few sentries up there to spy on Dingjun Mountain.

Virtual reality.

Sima Zhao burst out laughing and said: "I thought that when Xia Houyuan went to the toilet, the Shu people would see his naked buttocks, so he couldn't bear it anymore and went to challenge. This time, he missed Qingqing's life. No matter how important this butt is, it is more important than anything else."

But the brain!"

Guo Huai couldn't help laughing and said with a smile: "Second Young Master is full of witty words. I think Xia Houyuan was also in the same mood. If he had known he would end up like this, I'm afraid he wouldn't have left Dingjun Mountain even if he was killed."

Sima Zhao suppressed his smile and said to Guo Huai: "Guo Governor, do you think we should deploy our defenses so that there is no leakage?"

What Sima Zhao said about being watertight did not mean that the defense was watertight, but that they made it so that there were no flaws and Cao Shuang could not detect it.

Now, not all of the troops under their command are their cronies. There may be some secret agents sent by Cao Shuang. If they do it openly, then they will definitely be charged with collaborating with the enemy, even if it is a fake act.

, then you have to make a complete set, at least on the surface, it looks seamless.

Guo Huai is also well aware of this truth. Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. There are no ever-victorious generals in the world, but defeat in a vigorous battle and taking the initiative to surrender are not the same concept, and the consequences are completely different.

This time they came to guard Dingjun Mountain, and it was certain that they would release the water and lead the Shu army into the Hanzhong Plain. Cao Shuang's plan to conquer Shu would be defeated. This was the result they wanted most.

It would be completely unfeasible to abandon Dingjun Mountain to the Shu army in a casual defeat. If you are accused of collaborating with the enemy, you will be beheaded, so you must be skillful in letting go.

Guo Huai had naturally thought about it beforehand and pointed at Dingjun Mountain: "Our army should camp in a dangerous place on Dingjun Mountain. This is in line with the art of war. As for setting up defenses, this is fine."

Guo Huai has been on the battlefield for many years, and he is experienced and experienced. He has set up defensive positions in such an orderly manner that in the eyes of outsiders, no flaws can be seen.

However, only Guo Huai himself knew clearly. He arranged Sima Zhao's troops as far as possible to where the fighting was fierce, while his Yongzhou Army was arranged to places that were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There must be sacrifices in fighting. Guo Huai's move is to put the soldiers and horses appointed by Cao Shuang in danger, fight to the death with the Shu army, and consume most of them. This will leave no one to defend them, and ultimately

Being broken through by the Shu army is also normal and reasonable.

Guo Huai's calculation is very shrewd, and his purpose is very clear, that is, the position must be lost, but the process must be intense, and the fake show must be done for real.

The Wei army quickly entered the position and began to repair the fortifications and build defensive positions overnight. The Wei soldiers worked all night long. Sima Zhao and Guo Huai even patrolled in the middle of the night. They looked like they were doing it by themselves. There was absolutely no

People dare to suspect that they have different intentions.

After a night of hard work, the position at Dingjun Mountain finally took shape. The Shu army did not appear, and the Wei army could finally take a rest.

Sima Zhao came to the battlefield for the first time. Everything was new to him. He also knew very well that if it weren't for his father Sima Yi, with his qualifications as a general and a farmer, he might not have the opportunity to lead an army in the next life.

This expedition itself was a training opportunity for Sima Zhao. Although Sima Zhao had been familiar with military books before, the experience in actual combat could never be learned from military books.

It was not until dusk that the Shu army could be seen deep in the mountains, and Jiang Wei's men finally arrived.

Sima Zhao eagerly ordered the Wei army to prepare to meet the enemy, but Guo Huai laughed in good faith: "It's early, that's just the vanguard of the Shu army, Jiang Wei's main force is still far away from here, and Jiang Wei has received the news

, the attack will definitely be suspended, so the earliest battle should occur in the early morning of tomorrow. Now you can order most of the people to rest, leaving only a small number of soldiers and horses to guard. "

Sima Zhao's face turned red. This was obviously something he didn't know. I'm afraid only a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time would have such an understanding. It seemed that he had too many things to learn.

Guo Huai's judgment was correct. The Shu army that appeared in the sight of the Wei army was the vanguard force led by Zhao Guang. When Zhao Guang saw that the Wei army was waiting in Dingjun Mountain, he did not launch an attack easily, but

He hurriedly sent the information about this place back to Jiang Wei.

The main force and vanguard troops led by Jiang Wei were still more than ten miles away. By the time Jiang Wei arrived in front of Dingjun Mountain, it was almost dark.

It is obviously inappropriate to launch an attack at this time. It is not yet known whether Dingjun Mountain can be conquered. It will only increase casualties.

Jiang Wei took stock of the terrain and saw that there was no army stationed on the peak opposite Dingjun Mountain, so he ordered people to climb the mountain to monitor every move of the Wei army on Dingjun Mountain.

It stands to reason that since this mountain is so dangerous, the Wei army should send men and horses to garrison it, but at this moment, there is no trace on the top of the mountain. It must be that the Wei army has limited troops and cannot distinguish between troops and horses, so Jiang Wei sent people to the top of the mountain.
