Chapter 70 The sixty-ninth chapter divination Zhou Yi Guan Ren Zhiji to discuss the death of the Han bandits and five ministers

But it is said that Cao Cao fell to the ground in shock when he saw a group of corpses rising in the black wind that day.After a while, the wind calmed down, and all the corpses disappeared.The left and right assistants went back to the palace, and became ill from shock.Later generations have a poem praising Zuo Ci saying: Flying all over Kyushu, relying on armor alone to invite you to travel.Waiting to cast the immortal technique, enlighten Cao and never turn back. Cao Cao was sick, but he couldn't get better after taking medicine.Xu Zhi, Taishi Chengcheng, came to see Cao from Xuchang.Cao Lingzhi Bu "Yi".Zhi said, "Has your Majesty ever heard of divine divination?"Cao said: "It's quite idle, but I don't know its technique."You can speak in detail.Zhi said: "Guan Ren's character is Gongming, and he is also a native of Pingyuan."Ugly in appearance, drunk and crazy.His father was the head of Langya Shiqiu.Ren liked to look up at the stars since he was a child, and couldn't sleep at night.Parents cannot forbid.Chang Yun: Chickens and swans, when they still know themselves, how much less are they living in the world?Playing with his neighbors, he painted the earth as astronomy, and distributed the sun, moon and stars.And a little longer, that is, a deep understanding of "Book of Changes", looking up at the wind angle ①, good at mathematics, and good at physiognomy.Shan Zichun, the prefect of Langya, heard his name and summoned Ren to meet him.There are more than a hundred people sitting there, all of whom can speak well.Ren said to Zichun and said: "Ru is young and courageous, so please drink three liters of fine wine first, drink before speaking."Zichun was surprised, so he gave three liters of wine.After drinking, Ren asked Zichun: "Whoever wants to be against Ren today, is it like a scholar of the four princes?"Zichun said: I am equal to Qing.So he talked about the theory of "Yi" with Ren.Talking with 侂亹亹②, the words are profound.Zichun argued repeatedly, and the answers were fluent.From dawn to dusk, there is no food or drink.Zichun and all the guests were amazed.So the world is called a child prodigy.Later, there was a resident Guo Enzhe, three brothers, all suffering from foot disease, please ask for divination.Ruo said: In the hexagram, there is a female ghost in the tomb of Jun's family, not your aunt or aunt.In the past years of famine, seeking a few liters of rice, pushed him into a well, crushed his head with a big stone, and suffered alone, and complained to the sky, so brothers and sisters have this reward.It can't be done.Guo En and others wept and pleaded guilty.Wang Ji, the prefect of Anping, knew the god of divination, and extended it to his home.Shixin Duling's wife often suffers from headaches, and his son suffers from heartache, so please ask for divination.Ren said: "There are two dead bodies in the west corner of this hall: a man with a spear, and a man with a bow and arrow."The head is inside the wall, the feet are outside the wall.Those who hold spears mainly pierce the head, which is why they have headaches; those who hold bows and arrows mainly pierce the chest and abdomen, which causes heartaches.It is dug.Eight feet into the ground, there are two coffins.There were spears in one coffin, and horned bows and arrows in the other, all of which were rotten.Ren ordered the bones to be buried ten miles outside the city, and his wife and son were safe.Guantao ordered Zhugeyuan to move to the prefect of Xinxing to see him off.Guest words can cover shots.Zhuge didn't believe it, so he secretly took swallow eggs, bee nests and spiders and put them in three boxes for divination.When the hexagram is formed, write four sentences each on the box.One of them said: the air must change, according to the Yutang; the male and female are in shape, and the wings are stretched: this is also the egg of a swallow.The second is: the family room hangs upside down, and there are many doors; the essence is stored to nourish the poison, and the autumn is transformed: this is also the hive.The third is: 觳觫③ long legs, spinning silk into a stalk; looking for food in the net, beneficial in the dark night: this spider also.The crowd was horrified.There was an old woman who lost her cow in the pot, and she asked for divination.The judge said: "On the bank of the Beixi River, seven people slaughtered and cooked; they are urgently sought, but the flesh and blood are still there."The old woman went to find it: seven people cooked in the back of the hut, and the skin and flesh were still there.The woman told Liu Bin, the prefect of the county, to arrest seven people for the crime, because she asked the old woman, "How do you know this?"The woman tells the divination by the god of Guan Ren.Liu Bin didn't believe it, so please go to the mansion, take the seal pouch and pheasant feathers and hide them in the box, so that they can be divination.One of the divinations said: "The inside is square and the outside is round, and the five colors are traded; if there is a treasure and trustworthiness, there will be a seal when it comes out: this seal bag is also."The second said: There are birds in Yanyan, with a brocade body and red clothes; their wings are black and yellow, and they sing in the morning: this mountain chicken feathers are also.Liu Bin was shocked, so he became the honored guest.One day when I went out for a leisurely walk in the suburbs, I saw a young man plowing in the field, standing by the side of the road. I watched it for a long time, and asked: "The young man's surname is Gao, Guigeng?"The answer was: My surname is Zhao, my first name is Yan; I am nineteen years old.Dare to ask who is Mr.Ren said: I am in charge of Ren.I see that there is a dead breath between your eyebrows, you will die within three days, you are beautiful, but it is a pity that you have no life.Zhao Yan went home and urgently told his father.When the father heard about it, he caught up with Guan Ren, cried and bowed to the ground and said, "Please come back and save my son!"Ren said: "This is the destiny, is it safe?"The father said: "I only have this son, I hope to beg for help!"Zhao Yan also cried and begged.Seeing the close relationship between father and son, Ruo said to Zhao Yan and said: "You can prepare a bottle of clean wine and a piece of preserved deer. In the future, go to the Nanshan Mountain, under the big tree, and watch two people playing chess on the rock: one sits facing south, Wearing a white robe, his appearance is very ugly; a person sitting facing north, wearing a red robe, his appearance is very beautiful.You can take advantage of the excitement of the game and kneel down into it with wine and preserved deer.When he finishes eating, you will cry and pray for longevity, and you will benefit and count, but don't say that it is what I taught.The old man stays at home.The next day, Zhao Yan went into Nanshan with cups and plates of preserved wine.About five or six miles away, there were two people playing chess on the rock under the big pine tree, completely ignoring them.Zhao Yan knelt into the preserved wine.The two were greedy for chess, and they didn't realize that they had finished drinking.Zhao Yan cried and bowed to the ground to pray for his life, and the two were shocked.The man in the red robe said: This must be what Guan Zi said.The two of us are selfish, so we must pity him.The person in the white robe took out the book beside him to examine it, and said to Zhao Yan, saying: "You are nineteen years old, you should die."I add one or nine characters to the cross today, and your lifespan can reach ninety-nine.Go back to Guan Ren, and teach him to stop leaking the secrets; otherwise, he will be punished by heaven.The person wearing red puts out a pen to add it, and a gust of fragrant wind passes by, and the two of them turn into two white cranes and fly away into the sky.Zhao Yangui asked Guan Ren.Ren said: "Those who wear red are the South Dipper; those who wear white are the Big Dipper."Yan said: I heard that the Big Dipper and Nine Stars are more than one person?Ren said: Scattered to form nine, united to form one.The Big Dipper marks death, and the South Dipper marks life.Now that the longevity calculation has been added, why worry about Zifu?Thanks father and son.From then on, Guan Ren was afraid of revealing the secrets of heaven, let alone divination.Seeing this person in the plain, the king wanted to know how to rest, why didn't he call him?

Cao was overjoyed, and sent people to the plains to summon Ren.When he arrives, visits are completed, and he is ordered to divination.Ren replied: "Why worry about this illusion ear?"Worry about peace, the disease will gradually be cured.Use orders to predict the affairs of the world.The divination said: "Three eights are vertical and horizontal, the yellow pig meets the tiger; in the south of the Dingjun, one share will be injured and broken."He also ordered Bu Chuanzuo to revise the short number.The divination said: In the Lion Palace, the God of Peace is placed on the throne, the king's way is new, and the descendants are extremely precious.Cao asked for details.Ren said: The number of days is boundless and unpredictable.Check later.Cao wanted to seal Ren as Taishi.Ren said: "Life is poor, and you are poor. If you are not qualified for this position, you dare not accept it."Cao asked why.The answer is: the forehead has no main bone, the eyes have no guards, the nose has no pillars, the feet have no heavenly roots, the back has no three armors, and the belly has no three ren.Mount Tai can only cure ghosts, not living people.Cao said, "how do you look at me?"Ren said: "If you are an extremely human minister, why should you be a minister?"Asked again and again, Ren just smiled and didn't answer.Cao Ling is all over the civil and military bureaucrats.Ren said: "They are all ministers who govern the world."When Cao asked about rest and blame, he refused to say everything.Later generations have a poem praising it:

The Pingming God, Guan Gongming, can be regarded as the Southern Star and the Big Dipper.The gossip faintly leads to the ghost orifices, and the six lines are mysterious and profound.Foretelling that the method should have no life, and consciously the source of the heart is very spiritual.It's a pity that there was no sutra for the miraculous technique back then. Cao ordered Bu Dongwu and Xishu.The hexagram Yun set up: Eastern Wu lost a general, and Western Shu had soldiers who invaded the world.Fuck not believe it.Suddenly Hefei reported that Lu Su, the guard of Lukou in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, had passed away.Frightened, he sent someone to Hanzhong to inquire about the news.In a few days, it was reported that Liu Xuande sent Zhang Fei and Ma Chao to the lower office to take off the pass.Cao Cao was furious, so he wanted to lead his own soldiers into Hanzhong again, and ordered Guan Ren to make a divination.Ren said: "Your Majesty, don't act rashly."There will be fires in the coming spring.Seeing that his words had been tried and tested, Cao Cao did not dare to move lightly, so he stayed in Ye County and sent Cao Hong to lead 50,000 troops to help Xia Houyuan and Zhang Ying guard Dongchuan together; Unexpectedly, he also taught Chang Shi Wang to be the governor of the imperial army and horses.Sima Yi, the chief bookkeeper, said: "The king must be addicted to alcohol, and he may not be able to take up this position."Cao said: The king must be a person who goes through hardships alone and goes with him in difficult times. He is loyal and diligent, and his heart is as hard as a stone.The king of Suiwei will lead the imperial army Ma Tun outside the Donghua Gate of Xudu.

At that time, there was a man whose surname was Geng, whose name was Ji, whose name was Jixing, and who was born in Luoyang; I feel very upset.It was the first month of spring in the 23rd year of Jian'an.Geng Ji and Wei Huang had a secret discussion and said: "Thieves and thieves are becoming more and more evil, and in the future they will definitely be usurpers."We are Han subjects, how can we help each other with evil?Wei Huang said: "I have a confidant, whose surname is Jin and whose first name is Yi. He is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty after Jin Ridun.If you get an accomplice, great things will be done.Geng Ji said: "He must have a good relationship with the king, so he is willing to conspire with us?"Wei Huang said: Let's talk about it and see how it goes.So the two went to the house of Jin Yu together.Enter the back hall and sit down.Huang said: "Dewei and Wang Chang have a lot of history, and the three of us have come to ask for help."Yi said: "What do you want?"Huang said: "I heard that the king of Wei will receive Zen sooner or later, and he will ascend the great treasure, and the prince and king will move high."Hope never to abandon each other, song give support, thank you very much!Yi stood up with a flick of his sleeves.Those who are fit to follow serve tea, and then pour the tea on the ground.Huang pretended to be startled and said, "Dewei's old man, why are you so unfeeling?"Yi said: "I have a good relationship with you, because you are the descendants of the ministers of the Han Dynasty; now I don't want to repay the original, but want to help the rebels, what face do I have to be friends with you!"Geng Ji said: "There are so many days, I have to be an ear!"I was furious.Geng Ji and Wei Huang saw that Yiguo had a heart of loyalty, so they told each other the truth: We originally wanted to hunt down thieves, so we came here to ask for your foot.The preface is very special.Yi said: "I have been a Han minister for many generations, and I can be a thief!"What's the best idea for the public to help the Han Dynasty?Huang said: "Although I have the heart to serve the country, I have no plan to win over thieves."Yi said: "I want to cooperate with the inside and the outside, kill Wang Bi, seize his military power, and help Luan Yu."And with Uncle Liu Huang as foreign aid, the thieves can be wiped out.When the two heard it, they clapped their hands together and praised each other.

Yi said: "I have two confidantes, and I have a father-killer with the thief. Seeing that I live outside the city, they can be used as wings."Geng Ji asked who it was.Yi said: The son of the imperial physician Ji Ping: the first name is Ji Miao, and the style name is Wenran; the second name is Jimu, and the style name is Siran.In the past, Cao Cao served as an imperial edict for Dong Chengyi and killed his father.The two sons fled to Yuanmao and were spared.Now it has sneaked back to Xudu.If you ask each other to help and hunt for thieves, you will follow everything.Geng Ji and Wei Huang were overjoyed.The golden scorpion made people secretly call Erji.After a while, the two arrived.It's something to say.The two were moved to tears, filled with resentment, and vowed to kill the national traitor.Jin Yu said: On the night of the 15th day of the first lunar month, the city will be lit up to celebrate the Lantern Festival.Geng Shaofu and Wei Sizhi: You two lead your own boys, and kill them in front of Wang Bi's camp; just look at the fire in the camp, and enter in two ways; kill Wang Bi, and come in with me, and invite the emperor to go up to the Wufeng Tower. Call all the officials to ask the thieves face to face.Brother Ji Wenran entered the city outside the city and set fire to it. Everyone should raise their voices and tell the people to kill the country's thieves and stop the rescue army in the city. The envoy summoned Uncle Liu Huang.It is agreed today that by the time of the second watch, we should not act like Dong Cheng to bring disaster upon himself.The five of them swore an oath to the sky, pledged their blood as an alliance, returned home, rectified the army and horse equipment, and set out on time.

Let's say that Geng Ji and Wei Huang each have three or four hundred children and prepare equipment.Brother Ji Miao also gathers 300 people, and only promotes hunting. The arrangement has been made.Jin Yi came to see Wang Bi in advance and said: "The sea is calm now, and the king of Wei is shaking the world; it is the Lantern Festival, so we must turn off the lights to show the peaceful atmosphere."The king must have said his words and told the residents in the city to put up lanterns and festoons to celebrate the festive season.On the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, the sky was clear and the stars and the moon were shining brightly.Six streets and three cities compete to release lanterns.The real gold can't help it, and the jade leak has no reminder ④!The king will have a banquet with the generals of the imperial forest in the camp.After the second watch, I suddenly heard shouts in the camp, and people reported that there was a fire behind the camp.When Wang Bi hurriedly went out of the tent to look around, he saw the flames rolling wildly; he also heard the shouts and killings, and knew that there was a change in the camp. He hurried on his horse and went out of the south gate. Then he looked at Simon and left.There is an army coming from behind.The king must be busy, abandoning his horse and walking.When he arrived at the gate of Jinxi, he knocked on the door in a panic.It turned out that Jin Yi ordered people to set fire to the camp, and at the same time personally led the family boys to help in the battle, leaving only the women at home.At that time, the family heard the sound of the king knocking on the door, and they only said that Jin Yi would return.From the other door, his wife asked, "Did Wang Bina fight?"Wang Bi was shocked. Fang Wu, Jin Yi's accomplice, went to Cao Xiu's house to report that Jin Yi, Geng Ji and others had conspired against each other.Hugh put on his horse in a hurry and led more than a thousand people to resist the enemy in the city.Fires broke out everywhere in the city, burning the Wufeng Tower, and the emperor took refuge in the deep palace.Cao's confidant minion, died according to the palace gate.But people in the city shouted: kill all the Cao thieves to help the Han Dynasty!

It turned out that Xiahou Dun was ordered by Cao Cao to patrol Xuchang, led 30,000 troops, and set up camp five miles away from the city. At night, when he saw the fire in the city, he led a large army to surround Xudu, and sent an army into the city to meet Cao Xiu.Kill until dawn.Geng Ji, Wei Huang and others had no one to help.People reported that Jin Yi and Erji were killed.Geng Ji and Wei Huang fought their way out of the city gate when they were surrounded by Xiahou Dun's army and captured alive.More than a hundred of his subordinates were killed.Xiahou entered the city, put out the remaining fire, collected all five clansmen, old and small, and sent people to report to Cao Cao.According to the order, Geng and Wei, as well as the five clans, old and young, were all killed in the city, and all the officials in the dynasty, big and small, were taken away from Ye County and waited for their punishment.Xiahou Dun escorted Geng and Wei to Shicao.Geng Ji yelled sharply: "Cao A deceived: I can't kill you in life, but I will be a ghost to attack thieves in death!"The executioner stabbed his mouth with a knife, bleeding all over the ground, and yelled at him to death.Wei Huang suddenly said with his cheeks: "Hateful!"hateful!He gritted his teeth and died.Later generations have a poem praising it:

Geng Ji is loyal to Wei Huangxian, each holding empty hands to help the sky.Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Han Zuo was about to die, and he was full of hatred and mourned Jiuquan. Xiahou Dun beheaded all the five old and small clans, and sent all the officials to Ye County.Cao Cao set up a red flag on the left and a white flag on the right in the teaching ground, and issued an order saying: Geng Ji, Wei Huang and others rebelled and set fire to Xudu.Those who have fought fires can stand under the red flag; those who have never fought fires can stand under the white flag.The officials thought to themselves that those who put out the fire would be innocent, so they rushed under the red flag.Only one of the three stops is under the white flag.Those who do their best to stand under the red flag.The officials all said that they were not guilty.Cao said: "Your heart at that time was not to put out fires, but to help the thieves."They dragged them out of the Zhang River and chopped them off. More than 300 people died.All those who stand under the white flag will be rewarded, and they will still be ordered to return to Xudu.At that time, the king must have died of arrow sores, and he was buried with honor.Let Cao Xiu be the governor of the Yulin army, Zhong Yao be the prime minister, and Hua Xin the imperial historian.Then the Marquis of the Sixth Rank and the Eighteenth Rank, and the Marquis of Guanzhong's Rank of the Seventeenth, were all given gold seals and purple ribbons.There are also sixteen ranks of marquis inside and outside the pass, with silver seals, tortoise buttons and black ink ribbons; five doctor ranks, fifteen ranks, and bronze seals and ribbons.Ding Jue appointed an official, and the court changed another group of characters.When Cao Cao realized the theory of managing fires, he rewarded Ren heavily.I don't accept it.

But it is said that Cao Hong led the troops to Hanzhong and ordered Zhang He and Xia Houyuan to occupy dangerous places.Cao Hong personally marched to resist the enemy.At that time, Zhang Feizi and Lei Tong guarded Brazil.Ma Chaobing came to the lower office, ordered Wu Lan to be the vanguard, and led the sentry. When he met Cao Hongjun, Wu Lan wanted to retreat.Ya Jiang Ren Xuan said: "If the bandits first arrive, if you don't dampen their spirit first, how can you see Meng Qi?"So suddenly the horse raised his gun and attacked Cao Hong.Hong Zi raised his saber and jumped out.Cross the horse three times, cut the horse under the horse, and take advantage of the situation to cover up the kill.Wu Lan was defeated, and went back to see Ma Chao.The over-responsibility said: You don't have my order, so why underestimate the enemy and lead to defeat?Wu Lan said: "Ren Chu didn't listen to my words, that's why I was defeated."Ma Chao said: "You can stick to the pass and don't fight with us."On the one hand, declare to Chengdu, and wait for the trip.Seeing that Ma Chao had not been out for several days, Cao Hong feared fraud, so he led his troops back to Nanzheng.Zhang He came to see Cao Hong and asked, "General Zhao has already beheaded the general, how can he retreat?"Hong said: "I see that Ma Chao is not coming out. I'm afraid there may be other plans. Besides, I am in Ye County. I heard that the gods and Guan Ren said: I should kill a general here."I doubt this statement, so I dare not advance lightly.Zhang He laughed and said: "The general has spent half his life in the army, how can he be confused by the words of the fortune teller now!"Although He is not talented, he is willing to take Brazil with his troops.If you get Brazil, Shu County Yier.Hong said: "Brazilian defender Zhang Fei, don't take it easy, don't underestimate the enemy."Zhang He said: Everyone is afraid of Zhang Fei, but I treat him like a child!If you go here, you must catch him!Hong said: If there is a loss, what should I do?He said: "I am willing to be a military order."Hong Le wrote the papers, and Zhang He entered the army.It is exactly: since ancient times, arrogant soldiers have caused more defeats, and they have always underestimated the enemy and succeeded less.It is unknown how the outcome will be, let's see the breakdown below.

① Fengjiao uses the wind to predict good and bad luck; a superstitious alchemy in ancient times. ② The appearance of not being tired. ③ Shake trembling. ④ Jin Wu can't help, Yu Leu Wu reminds Jin Wu, originally referring to weapons; later it was used as an official title, in charge of the emperor's guard.Drain, an ancient timekeeping device.These two sentences mean that people in the capital can play on the night of the Lantern Festival without being interfered by the imperial guards and limited by time.
