Chapter 115 Chapter 114 Cao Mao drove to death in Nanque, Jiang Wei abandoned grain and defeated Wei soldiers

But Jiang Wei sent an order to retreat.Liao Hua said: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not acceptable."Although there is an edict today, it cannot be moved.Zhang Yi said: "The Shu people have resentment for the great generals who have mobilized troops year after year. It is better to take advantage of this victory and withdraw the troops to reassure the people, and then make a good plan."Wei said: good.Then all the troops were ordered to retreat according to law.Liao Hua and Zhang Yi were ordered to cut off the back to prevent the Wei soldiers from chasing after them.

But Deng Ai led his troops to chase, only to see the Shu soldiers in front of them with neat banners and retreating slowly.Ai Tan said: "Jiang Wei has learned the art of Marquis Wu deeply!"So he didn't dare to chase after him, so he reined in his army and went back to Qishan village. Let's say that Jiang Wei went to Chengdu, went to see the master, and asked why he was recalled.The Empress said: "I am in the court for Qing, and I will not return to my teacher for a long time. I am afraid of exhausting the soldiers, so I have no other intention to order Qing to return to the court."Wei said: "I have won the stronghold of Qishan Mountain, and I am about to reap my merits, but I gave up halfway."This must be Deng Ai's plan.The Empress remained silent.Jiang Wei said again: "I swear to hunt down the thieves in order to repay the country's kindness."Your Majesty, don't listen to the villain's words, causing doubts.After a long time, the master said: "I don't doubt you; you should go back to Hanzhong, and once there is a change in the state of Wei, you can attack again."Jiang Wei sighed and left the court, and went to Hanzhong.

But he said that the party returned to Qishan village and reported the matter.Deng Ai and Sima Wang said: If the monarch and his ministers are not in harmony, there must be internal changes.He ordered the party to enter Luoyang and report to Sima Zhao.Zhao was overjoyed, so he had the heart to plan for Shu, so he asked Jia Chong, the central guard, saying: "I am attacking Shu now, how about it?"Chong said: "It's not possible to cut it: the emperor doubts the lord, if he goes out lightly, it will be difficult inside."In the old year, the yellow dragon was seen twice in the well of Ningling, and the officials expressed their congratulations, thinking it was auspicious;So he wrote a poem "Poetry of Qianlong".The meaning in the poem clearly refers to the lord.His poem says:

The sad dragon is trapped and cannot jump into the abyss.If you don't fly on the sky, you won't see the field when you go down.The pan lives at the bottom of the well, and the eel dances in front of it.Hidden teeth and claws, so do I! Sima Zhaowen was furious and called Jia Chong, saying: "This man wants to follow Cao Fang's example!"If I don't plan early, he will harm me.Chong said: "Someone is willing to draw it for the Lord sooner or later."At that time, in the summer and April of the fifth year of Wei Ganlu, Sima Zhao took his sword to the hall and raised it to welcome him.All the ministers said: "The general has great merit and virtue, and he will be the Duke of Jin together, and he will add Jiuxi."Mao bowed his head and did not answer.Zhao sternly said: "My father, son and brother have made great contributions to Wei. Now they are the Duke of Jin. Isn't it inappropriate to get it?"Mao Nai responded, "Dare to die!"Zhao said: "The poem "Qianlong" treats us like eels, what kind of courtesy is it?"Mao couldn't answer.Zhao sneered at his Highness.All the officials are awe-inspiring.Mao returned to the harem and summoned three servants, Wang Shen, Shangshu Wang Jing, and Sanqi Changshi Wangye, to discuss.Mao wept and said: Sima Zhao will usurp us, everyone knows it!I can't just sit back and be humiliated, you and others can help me get rid of it!Wang Jingzuo said: "No: in the past, Lu Zhaogong couldn't bear the Ji family, and lost the country; now the power has been vested in the Sima family for a long time, and the internal and external ministers disregard the principles of obedience and injustice.And your Majesty's old guards are weak and useless.If His Majesty doesn't bear it, there will be no disaster.And it is advisable to slow down the map and not make mistakes.Mao said: It is tolerable, which one cannot be tolerated!I have made up my mind, so why not be afraid of death!When you're done talking, let's go and tell the Queen Mother.Wang Shen and Wang Ye called Wang Jing and said: "The matter is urgent."We can't wait for the disaster of genocide.Go to Sima Gong's mansion to show your head, so as not to die.Jing said angrily: "The Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the Lord has humiliated his ministers to death. Do you dare to have two hearts?"Wang Chen and Wang Ye didn't follow the scriptures, so they went to report to Sima Zhao.

In a short time, Cao Mao, the Lord of Wei, went out and ordered Jiao Bo, the guard, to gather more than 300 officials and children of Cangtou, the old guard in the hall, and came out clamoring.Mao raised the chariot with his sword, and shouted left and right to go out of the Nanque.Wang Jing fell in front of the chariot, wept loudly and remonstrated, saying: "Your Majesty is leading hundreds of people to attack Zhao today. It is driving sheep into the mouth of a tiger. It is useless to die in vain."I don't regret my life, it's not feasible to see things.Mao said: "Our army has already moved, and you will not be hindered."Then he looked at Longmen and came.

I saw Jia Chong in military uniform riding a horse, with Cheng Lang on the left and Cheng Ji on the right, leading thousands of armored forbidden soldiers, shouting to kill.Mao held his sword and shouted, "I am the Son of Heaven!"You broke into the palace and wanted to kill the king?When the forbidden soldiers saw Cao Mao, they dared not move.Jia Chong called Chengji and said, "Why does Sima Gong support you?"It is for today's business.Ji Nai Chuo held the halberd in his hand, looked back and said, "Should I be killed?"When tied?Chong said: "Sima Gong has an order, as long as he dies."Cheng Ji twisted his halberd and went straight to the front of the chariot.Mao yelled, "How dare you be rude!"Before he finished speaking, he was stabbed in the chest by Chengji with a halberd and knocked out of the chariot; with another halberd, the blade came out from the back and died beside the chariot.Jiao Bo held out his spear to meet him, but was stabbed to death by Cheng Ji with a halberd.Everyone fled.Wang Jing then came and scolded Jia Chong, saying: "How dare the rebel kill the king!"Filled with rage, scolded the left and right to bind, and reported to Sima Zhao.When Zhao entered the room and saw that Mao was dead, he pretended to be shocked, bumped his head against the chariot and cried, and let people report to the ministers.

At that time, Tai Fu Sima Fu entered the room, saw Mao's body, and cried, saying: "It is the crime of the minister who kills your majesty!"Then Mao's corpse was stored in a coffin and stopped in the west of the side hall.Zhao entered the hall and called a meeting of ministers.All the ministers came, but the servant of Shangshu couldn't shoot Chen Tai.Xun Yi, the uncle of Zhao Lingtai, summoned him.Tai cried and said: "The commentator regards Tai as uncle, but today's uncle is not as good as Tai."He came in wearing a hemp belt with filial piety, weeping and worshiping before the spirit.Zhao Yi pretended to cry and asked, "How can we deal with today's affairs?"Tai said: "Beheading Jia Chong alone, you can thank the world at least."Zhao pondered for a long time, then asked again, "Think about it again."Tai said: Only those who have advanced to this point do not know what to do next.Zhao said: "Cheng Ji is a great rebel and immoral, you can kill him and destroy his three clans."Ji scolded Zhao and said, "It's not my fault, it's Jia Chong's order to pass on to you!"Zhaoling cut off his tongue first.Ji cried endlessly until his death.His younger brother, Cheng Yu, was also killed in the city, exterminating the three clans.Later generations have poems sighing:

At that time, Sima ordered Jia Chong to kill the king, and the ocher robe of Nanque was red.But Cheng Ji punished the three clans, only the army and the people were deaf. Zhao also sent people to take Wang Jing's family and put him in prison.Wang Jing was in the Tingwei hall when he suddenly saw his mother bound.After kowtowing and weeping loudly, he said: "The unfilial son has affected the loving mother!"The mother laughed and said: "Who doesn't die?"I am afraid that I will not die.If you give up your life like this, why do you hate it?The next day, Wang Jing's family was escorted to Dongshi.Wang Jing's mother and son were tortured while smiling.All the scholars and commoners in the city were weeping.There is a poem from later generations that says:

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the sword was boasted, and at the end of the Han Dynasty, I saw the Wang Jing: A true heart is the same, but a strong heart is more clear.The festival is as heavy as Taihua, and the life is as light as a feather.The reputation of mother and child should be the same as heaven and earth. Grand Tutor Sima Fu asked Cao Mao to be buried with royal rites, and he promised it.Jia Chong and others persuaded Sima Zhao to accept Wei Chan and become the emperor.Zhao said: In the past, King Wen had two thirds of the world, and he served Yin, so the sage was called the most virtuous.Emperor Wu of Wei refused to accept Zen from the Han, just as I also refused to accept Zen from Wei.Jia Chong and others heard the words and knew that Sima Zhao had paid attention to his son Sima Yan, so they stopped trying to persuade him to come.In June of that year, Sima Zhao established Cao Huang, Duke of Changdao, as emperor, and changed it to the first year of Yuan Jingyuan.Huang changed his name to Cao Huan, and his style name was Jingzhao. He was the grandson of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu, and the son of Cao Yu, King of Yan.Huan Fengzhao became the prime minister, Duke Jin, and gave him 100,000 yuan and 10,000 pieces of silk.He has many civil and military officials, each with a reward.

A small soldier has reported to Shuzhong for a long time.When Jiang Wei heard that Sima Zhao had killed Cao Mao and appointed Cao Huan, he said with joy, "I am now famous for defeating Wei."Then he sent a letter to Wu, ordering soldiers to question Sima Zhao about the crime of killing the king; on the one hand, the emperor was ordered to send 150,000 troops and thousands of vehicles, all of which were placed on crates; Liao Hua and Zhang Yi were ordered to be the vanguard: Ziwu Valley, Yi takes Luogu, and Wei takes Xiegu, all of which must be taken before leaving Qishan.The soldiers of the three routes joined forces and rushed to Qishan.

At that time, Deng Ai was training troops in the Qishan village. He heard that the soldiers from Shu had arrived in three directions, so he gathered all the generals to discuss.Wang Guan, who joined the army, said: "I have a plan, but I can't say it clearly."See it written here, and I would like to present it to the general.After Ai took it to the exhibition, he said with a smile, "Although this plan is clever, I'm afraid I can't hide it from Jiang Wei."Guan said: "Someone is willing to give up his life to go."Ai said: If the public will is strong, it will surely succeed.So he dispatched five thousand soldiers and Guan.Guan came to us from Xiegu overnight, and was bumping into the sentry horse of the front team of the Shu soldiers.Guan called and said, "I am a soldier from the State of Wei, and I can report to the commander-in-chief." The sentinel informed Jiang Wei, and Wei Ling stopped the remaining soldiers, and only asked the leader to see him in the future.Guan bowed down on the ground and said: "This is Wang Jing's nephew, Wang Guan."Recently, I saw Sima Zhao murdering the king and killing all his uncles, and I hated him to the bone.Today, fortunately, the general raised his division to inquire about the crime, so he specially invited five thousand soldiers from our headquarters to surrender.I am willing to be dispatched to wipe out the traitors in order to avenge my uncle's hatred.Wei was overjoyed, and said Guan said: "You came to surrender with sincerity, why don't I treat each other with sincerity?"The patients in our army are nothing more than grain ears.Now there is grain and grass, and it is found in Chuankou. You can transport it to Qishan.I'm only going to fetch Qishan Village today.Guan was overjoyed, thinking he had hit the trick, he accepted the promise with confidence.Jiang Wei said: "You don't have to use five thousand people to transport grain, but you can lead three thousand people and leave two thousand people to lead the way to attack Qishan."Guan Wei was afraid of doubts, so he led three thousand soldiers to go.Wei ordered Fu Qian to quote 2,000 Wei soldiers to follow the levy.Suddenly it was reported that Xia Houba had arrived.Ba said: "Why does the governor believe in Wang Guan's words?"I was in Wei, although I didn't know the details, I didn't hear that Wang Guan was Wang Jing's concubine: there are many frauds in it, please check it out.Wei laughed and said, "I know Wang Guan's deceit, so I divide his forces and follow his plan."Ba said: "It's a public test."Wei said: "Sima Zhao is a traitor compared to Cao Cao. If he kills Wang Jing and destroys his three clans, how can he save his relatives and concubines to lead the army outside the pass?"So I know it's deceitful.Zhong Quan's opinion coincides with mine.So Jiang Wei didn't go out of Xiegu, but he ordered people to lie in ambush on the road to prevent Wang Guan from spies.In less than ten days, as expected, the ambush captured Wang Guan and reported to Deng Ai's scribe to see him.Wei asked about the plot and found a private book. In the book, about August 20th, grain was transported back to Dazhai from a small road, but Deng Ai was instructed to send troops to meet him in the valley of the mountain.Wei killed the person who wrote the letter, but changed the meaning of the book to August 15th, and asked Deng Ai to lead his soldiers to meet him in the valley.On the one hand, people pretended to be Wei Jun and wrote letters to Weiying; Wei Bing, holding the banner of transporting grain.Wei Que and Xia Houba each lead an army to ambush in the valley.Jiang Shu was ordered to go out of the inclined valley, and Liao Hua and Zhang Yi all advanced to take Qishan. But he said that Deng Ai was overjoyed when he got Wang Guan's letter, and wrote back urgently, so that someone could return it.On the 15th day of the eighth month, Deng Ai led 50,000 elite soldiers to the valley. From a distance, people could see countless grain carts, one after another, passing through the valley.Aile looked at him, and sure enough, they were all Wei soldiers.The left and right said: "It's already dusk, so you can quickly meet Wang Guan out of the valley."Ai said: "The mountains in front of us are hidden. If there is an ambush, it is difficult to retreat; we can only wait here."In the middle of the speech, two horsemen suddenly arrived and reported: "General Wang has crossed the border with grain and grass, and the people and horses behind have rushed to rescue him."Ai was shocked and hurriedly urged his troops to advance.The time is just beginning to change, and the moon is as bright as the day.I only heard the shouting behind the mountain, and Ai Zhidao Wang Guan was fighting behind the mountain.When running straight behind the mountain, suddenly a Biao army ran out from behind the forest. The leader of the Shu general, Fu Qian, rode his horse and shouted: "Deng Aipifu!"I have fallen into the plan of my lord!Why not dismount early and die!Ai was shocked, reined in his horse and left.When the fire in the car is exhausted, the fire is the trumpet fire.Under the two forces, all the soldiers of Shu came out, and killed the soldiers of Wei in succession. However, it was only heard that at the foot of the mountain, there was only a cry: "Those who capture Deng Ai will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, and ten thousand households will be made marquises!"So Deng Ai abandoned his armor and helmet, sat down on his horse, mixed with the infantry, and fled across the mountains.Jiang Wei and Xia Houba only hoped that the leader would come to capture them immediately, and they didn't want Deng Ai to escape on foot.Wei led the victorious soldiers to pick up Wang Guan's grain cart. But it is said that Wang Guan made a secret appointment with Deng Ai to prepare the grain and grass carts in advance, and wait for the incident.Suddenly, a confidant reported: The matter has been leaked, General Deng was defeated, and his life is unknown.Guan was so startled that people were sentry to report that the soldiers of the third route had besieged and killed the future, and there was a big dust behind him, and there was no way around.Guan chided the left and right orders to set fire to burn all the grain, grass and vehicles.In an instant, the fire flared up, and the raging fire burned out.Guan yelled, "It's urgent!"You should fight to the death!Nai Tibing looked west and killed.Jiang Wei chased after him in three directions.Wei Zhidao Wang Guan gave up his life and ran back to Wei State, not wanting to go to Hanzhong instead.Because of the small number of soldiers, Guan was afraid that the pursuers would catch up, so he burned all the plank roads and passes.Jiang Wei feared that Hanzhong would be lost, so he did not pursue Deng Ai, and raised his troops to hunt down Wang Guan overnight.Guan was attacked by Shu soldiers from all sides and threw himself into Heilongjiang to die.All the remaining soldiers were trapped by Jiang Wei.Although Wei defeated Deng Ai, he lost a lot of food and grass, and destroyed the plank road, so he led his troops back to Hanzhong.Deng Aiyin's defeated troops fled back to Qishan village, pleaded guilty, and demoted himself.Seeing Ai Shu's great achievements, Sima Zhao couldn't bear to belittle him, so he rewarded him more generously.Ai Jiangyuan gave the property and distributed it to the families of the killed soldiers.Zhao feared that the Shu soldiers would come out again, so he added 50,000 troops to defend with Ai.Jiang Wei built the plank road overnight, and then proposed to leave the teacher.It's exactly: even the plank road soldiers go out continuously, and they will die endlessly if they don't attack the Central Plains.It is unknown how the outcome will be, let's see the breakdown below. ① Lu Zhaogong couldn't bear the Ji family, and lost his country. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Ji Sun family (provincially known as the Ji family) took power in the state of Lu, and Lu Jun had a false name.Duke Zhao of Lu was dissatisfied and sent troops to attack the Ji family, but failed and fled to Qi.
