As a result of this war, Zhuge Liang won a great victory, even the spoils were clearly calculated: the first prize was 3000, the armor was 5000, and the crossbow was 3 100. So, on the way back, Zhuge Liang also solved the only great hero of He Weizhang.
The general process of this war is as follows: Zhuge Liang made the fourth northern expedition and led a great army out of Qishan. He first surrounded Wei Jun's stronghold in Qishan Fort, and then continued to divide his troops north. At the same time, Wei Guofu Cao Zhen died, and Jingzhou military commander Sima Yi sent troops to save Qishan. Yongzhou secretariat of Guo Huai, Wei secretariat, after the general Fei Yao, defeated by Zhuge Liang, stick to help. Zhuge Liang went north to Shangguan and seized the wheat planted by Wei. After Sima Yi arrived in Shangguan, he confronted Zhuge Liang in the local soil and stopped fighting. After more than ten days of confrontation, Zhuge Liang withdrew to Lucheng. Sima yi led the army to chase Zhuge Liang, but he persisted without fighting.
At this time, the army occupied Lucheng, and Sima Yi's main force fortified the north of the city, while Wei's military stronghold Qishan Fort was in the south of Lucheng, still surrounded by the Shu army, but it was never broken. Sima yi still didn't go out to look for fighters. At this time, Zhuge Liang made a very bold decision to withdraw the Shu army surrounded by Qishan fortress and retreat to Lucheng in the north. As soon as the Shu army in Qishan retreated, Wei immediately surrounded Zhuge Liang with the North-South strategy, and Zhuge Liang's route for providing foodstuff was cut off by Wei Jun.
This was Sima Yi's pincer-like offensive, with Lucheng in the middle. Sima Yi's main force was in the north of Lucheng, and Zhang He was sent to Qishan to lead the Wei Jun of Qishan. The Shu army in Lucheng was surrounded by the north and south of Wei Jun, and the route for providing foodstuff was cut off, because Zhuge Liang's hay was transported from Hanzhong, and further south, Wei Jun of Qishan cut off the route for providing foodstuff. Sima Yi on the northern edge of Lucheng and Zhang He on the southern edge of Lucheng surrounded Zhuge Liang's army from north to south, commonly known as the pincer offensive. The generals of Wei saw this form and kept asking the head coach Sima Yi to fight well. Sima Yi didn't dare to go to war at first, but was also ridiculed by Wei Jun's generals as "fearing Shu like a tiger". Sima Yi thought about it and wondered why Zhuge Liang wanted to dig his own road. After careful consideration of various possibilities, Zhuge Liang felt that there was no chance of winning, so Sima Yi finally sent troops.
Sima Yi led the main force to attack Zhuge Liang's main force in the north of Lucheng, and Zhang He left Qishan Wei Jun to attack Wang Ping's army in the south of Lucheng. As a result, Wang Ping waited for him, Zhang He could not conquer the Shu army, but Sima Yi in the north was defeated by Zhuge Liang's main force. Zhuge Liang received 3,000 private first class, 5,000 armor and 3,100 crossbows. Sima Yi led Zhang He and the remaining Wei Jun to retreat to Shangguan, and Zhuge Liang besieged Qishan again and regained the battlefield. How did Zhuge Liang win? Bian Xiao can only guess, only know that Zhuge Liang used the trick of luring the enemy into depth, and did not hesitate to put himself in a desperate situation to lure Sima Yi to a decisive battle. Wang Ping in the south successfully blocked Zhang He, and Sima Yi in the north was defeated by Zhuge Liang.
Sima yi's attack met Zhuge Liang's lure into the enemy. As a result, Sima yi was beheaded by 3 thousand people, that is, 3 thousand people. Of course, Zhuge Liang is clever because Zhuge Liang defeated Sima Yi. After this war, Sima Yi faced Zhuge Liang with only one word: consumption. In any case, he will die and not go to war. No matter how Zhuge Liang lured him, Sima Yi refused to go out.
