卻說孔明因慮姜維,自為前部,望天水郡進發。將到城邊,孔明傳令曰:「凡攻城池:以初到之日,激勵三軍,鼓譟直上。若遲延日久,銳氣盡隳,急難破矣。」於是大軍逕到城下。因見城上旗幟整齊,未敢輕攻。候至半夜,忽然四下火光沖天,喊聲震地,正不知何處兵到。只見城上亦鼓譟吶喊相應,蜀兵亂竄。孔明急上馬,有關興、張苞二將保護,殺出重圍,回頭視之,正東上軍馬,一帶火光,勢若長蛇。孔明令關興探視,回報曰:「此姜維兵也。」孔明歎曰:「兵不在多,在人之調遣耳,此人真將才也!」收兵歸寨,思之良久,乃喚安定人問曰:「姜維之母,現在何處?」答曰:「維母今居冀縣。」孔明喚魏延分付曰:「汝可引一軍,虛張聲勢,詐取冀縣。若姜維到,可放入城。」又問:「此地何處緊要?」安定人曰:「天水錢糧,皆在上邽;若打破上邽;則糧道自絕矣。」孔明大喜,教趙雲引一軍去攻上邽。孔明離城三十里下寨。早有人報入天水郡,說蜀兵分為三路:一軍守此郡,一軍取上邽,一軍取冀城。姜維聞之,哀告馬遵曰:「維母現在冀城,恐母有失。維乞一軍往救此城,兼保老母。」馬遵從之,遂令姜維引三千軍去保冀城;梁虔引三千軍去保上邽。

卻說趙雲引五千兵,逕投天水郡城下,高叫曰:「吾乃常山趙子龍也。汝知中計,早獻城池,免遭誅戮。」城上梁緒大笑曰:「汝中吾姜伯約之計,尚然不知耶?」雲恰待攻城,忽然喊聲大震,四面火光沖天。當先一員少年將軍,挺槍躍馬而言曰:「汝見天水姜伯約乎!」雲挺槍直取姜維。戰不數合,維精神倍長。雲大驚,暗忖曰:「誰想此處有這般人物!」正戰時,兩軍夾攻來,乃是馬遵、梁虔引軍殺回。趙雲首尾不能相顧,衝開條路,引敗兵奔走,姜維趕來。虧得張翼、高翔兩路軍殺出,接應回去。趙雲歸見孔明,說中了敵人之計。孔明驚問曰:「此是何人,識吾玄機?」有南安人告曰:「此人姓姜,名維,字伯約,天水冀人也:事母至孝,文武雙全,智勇足備,真當世之英傑也。」趙雲又誇獎姜維槍法,與他人大不同。孔明曰:「吾今欲取天水,不想有此人。」遂起大軍前來。
