Zhuge Liang followed Wang Ping and watched him guide the terrain on both sides of the Han River.

Zhuge Liang looked up at the other side and saw a mountain of earth ten miles upstream of Cao Cao's camp, which could hide more than a thousand people. He came up with a plan.

Back in the camp, Zhuge Liang called Zhao Yun with high execution ability quietly and ordered:

"Zilong, you can lead five hundred men and horses, all with drum horns, and quietly cross the Han River tonight and lie under the Tushan Mountain; tomorrow night, you can only hear the cannons in my camp beeping: if the cannons are fired, you will lead the army to beat the drums, but don't go to fight." Zhao Yun led the plan and left.

In order to predict the daily movements of Cao's army, Zhuge Liang lived on the mountain across the bank and secretly watched Cao's camp.

The next day, Cao Cao sent an envoy to cross the river and sent a letter of war to Liu Bei.

However, the gate of Liu Bei's military camp was closed and the battle sign was hung high, so no one in the camp could leave.

The envoy of Cao's army had no choice but to leave the letter of war at the gate and return to the camp.

Even late that night, Zhuge Liang was on the mountain and saw the lights of Cao's camp resting. The soldiers were resting. About half an hour passed, and Zhuge Liang ordered his men to fire cannons.

Zhao Yun was on the Tushan Mountain and heard the sound of cannons, which made five hundred soldiers shout drums and horns.

Cao Bing was awakened in his sleep and was in a panic.

The general of Cao's army was suspected to be Liu Bei's army robbing the village, thinking of performing well in front of the King of Wei and consolidating the army as quickly as possible.

When everyone lit the lights and the whole army went to the camp gate to fight, they did not see Liu Bei's soldiers and soldiers coming.

After almost an hour of trouble, Cao Cao asked the soldiers to return to the camp to rest.

The lights were turned off in the camp, and the cannons on the other side sounded again, and drums and horns were ringing upstream, shouting shocked the ground, and the valley responded.

Cao Bing was restless all night, unable to fall asleep, his army was exhausted, and he could not go to fight.

Cao Cao was shocked and suspicious, and Sima Yi offered his advice:

"This is a plan for exhausted soldiers. The King of Wei can leave behind warning soldiers and rest as usual."

Cao Cao said that that night, he asked the generals to leave the guards and the rest of the soldiers to rest as usual.

But people were in panic and it was difficult for the resting soldiers to close their eyes. This was the case for three consecutive nights. The soldiers of Cao's army were not sleepy, exhausted, and their combat power decreased significantly.

Seeing this, Cao Cao was very worried. He was afraid that Liu Bei's army would really come to rob the camp, so he pulled the camp back thirty miles and set up a camp in the vast area.

Seeing Cao Cao retreating, Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Liu Bei:

"Lord, although Cao Cao knew the tactics of war, he did not know the tricks."

Because it was Cao Cao's visit, only Liu Bei was qualified to talk to him.

So, Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei to lead the troops to cross the Han River and set up a camp on his back.

Xu Huang formed a formation with the back water, and he was defeated for a while. Now Zhuge Liang also used this plan. Liu Bei asked the reason in surprise, and Zhuge Liang could hear it:

"But this is like this..."

After Cao Cao retreated, he was also testing Liu Bei to see if he dared to cross the river to meet the enemy.

Seeing that Liu Bei was carrying him down the village, Cao Cao was confused and asked someone to write a letter of war.

This time, Liu Bei opened the gate and welcomed the envoy in, treating him with courtesy.

After reading the war letter, Liu Bei handed it to Zhuge Liang and wrote four words on the spot to "The decisive battle in the future".

The next day, the two armies advanced for more than ten miles, located in the middle of the camps of the two armies. There was a wide open area, and 10,000 troops were formed on both sides.

According to the rules, Cao Cao was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty after all, and had a high status, which could be said to be "below one person, above ten thousand people!"

He first took off his horse, stood under the door flag, and arranged two rows of dragon and phoenix flags on both sides, beat the drums and call Liu Bei to answer.

Although Liu Bei only took over the governor of Yizhou, he was also a royal family member and the uncle of the Han Dynasty. He had no weak momentum and led Liu Feng, Wu Ban and other generals in Sichuan to come out.

Cao Cao regarded himself as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and cursed:

"Liu Bei, you are a relative of the royal family, you are ungrateful and have no righteousness, and you are willing to be a thief who rebels against the court!"

Liu Bei has been confronting Cao Cao for a long time, so he naturally would not be scared by his words and retorted loudly:

"I am a relative of the Han Dynasty. Today, I am the emperor's uncle appointed by the emperor, and I will be the emperor's decree to attack you, a traitor. You first kill the imperial concubine, then kill your mother, and then make yourself the king and usurp the emperor's carriage. What's wrong with it?

Although Cao Cao had not officially usurped the throne, his power was already invincible and no different from that of the emperor.

In the court, Cao Cao was becoming more and more majestic. No one dared to disobey him in the court, and developed the habit of being the only one.

Even Emperor Xian of Han had to act according to his expression. No one dared to speak presumptuously in front of him for many years.

In the last battle of Ruxu, Cao Cao and Sun Quan met in front of the formation. Cao Cao also blamed Sun Quan for righteousness, but the other party did not speak ill of each other.

However, Liu Bei blamed him without any mercy. Cao Cao couldn't help but be furious and ordered the vanguard Xu Huang to take the opportunity to fight.

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were arranged by Zhuge Liang to lead the army to ambush. Liu Bei had the strongest martial arts skills around him, even if his adopted son Liu Feng, Liu Bei ordered him to go and fight.

Before Liu Feng could go out of the battle, Liu Bei gave a few instructions and walked into the formation first, leading the guards to speed away, leading the valley to disappear.

Although Liu Feng didn't know what Liu Bei had, he had already received the order that Liu Bei could not compete with when he came out of the battle. He only fought with Xu Huang for several rounds, but he didn't have enough strength to resist the enemy, so he drove away.

When the soldiers under his army saw that the chief general was defeated, they followed him and fled.

Although Cao Cao sent Xu Huang to fight, he did not expect to win the battle because he was not superior.

Liu Bei's army included brave generals such as Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and Cao Cao's subordinates were Xu Chu, Zhang He and Xu Huang, who were obviously at a disadvantage.

Therefore, Cao Cao was fighting the idea of ​​a melee. When he saw Xu Huang making achievements and Liu Bei's defeated army disrupted his own position, he hurriedly ordered:

"The soldiers can fight bravely to fight the enemy. No matter how big or small the official position, if they catch Liu Bei, they will become the lord of Xichuan."

This is a chance to reach the sky in one step! The Cao army soldiers' eyes were red, and they shouted in unison, bravely moving forward, chasing Liu Bei's army.

Liu Bei's army was in chaos, and everyone fled to the Han River, with horses and weapons thrown on the road.

When Cao's army saw so many spoils, many people picked them up and carried them on their backs. The speed of chasing them slowed down. Seeing this, Cao Cao urgently ordered the Mingjin to collect the army.

All the generals rode horses and returned. Although the soldiers stopped moving forward, many of them were still collecting spoils, and the battlefield was in chaos.

The generals asked Cao Cao:

"We are brave enough to move forward, just waiting to capture Liu Bei, why did the king call the gold and collect the army?"

Cao Cao replied:

"I saw that the Shu soldiers carried the Han River to camp, which was suspicious; if there were many abandoning horses and military weapons, it was suspicious. This must be the plan of the Zhuge village man, who could retreat quickly and take out his clothes."

Cao Cao passed on military orders:

"Those who take something in vain will be killed immediately. Withdrew quickly."

After hearing the military order, Cao Bing walked back reluctantly, Zhuge Liang could see clearly on the top of the mountain and raised the flag.

Liu Bei led the central army out of the valley, Huang Zhong led the army to fight from the left, and Zhao Yun came to fight from the right.

Because Cao's army stopped pursuing, its formation was scattered and could not resist. He was attacked by Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong and fled in great defeat. Liu Bei led his troops to chase him overnight.

Seeing that Liu Bei's army was chasing him in a hurry, Cao Cao ordered the army to return to Nanzheng first and then make plans.
