Chapter 116 The 115th reply to the class teacher, the posthumous letter entrusted Jiang Wei to garrison the fields to avoid disaster

However, in the fifth year of jingyao's reign in the han dynasty, in the winter of October, general jiang wei sent people to build plank roads overnight, to rectify the army rations and weapons, and to allocate ships on the hanzhong waterway.All are ready, and the master said after playing the above table: "The minister is tired of going to war. Although he has not achieved great success, he has already frustrate the hearts of Wei. Now he has been raising soldiers for a long time. If you don't fight, you will be lazy, and if you are lazy, you will get sick."What's more, the army thinks of death, and thinks of life.If the minister is invincible, he shall be punished by death.After the master list, hesitating.Qiao Zhou came out of the troupe and said: "My minister watched astronomy at night, and saw the division of Western Shu, and made the stars dark and unclear."Now the general wants to leave the army again, this trip is very unfavorable.His Majesty can issue an imperial edict to stop it.The master said: "Let's see how this trip goes."Sure enough, there is a loss, but it should be blocked.Qiao Zhou tried to persuade him again and again but refused, so he went home and sighed, so he reasoned that he was ill.

But Jiang Wei asked Liao Hua when he was about to raise troops, saying, "I am leaving the army now, and I vow to restore the Central Plains. Where should I go first?"Hua said: Years of conquests, the army and the people are restless; also Wei has Deng Ai, resourceful, not an idle generation: the general still wants to do things by force, so he dare not be exclusive.Wei was furious and said: In the past, the prime minister came out of Qishan six times, and he was also a country.I have attacked Wei eight times today, is it for my own selfishness?Now take Taoyang first.Anyone who opposes me will be killed!So he left Liao Hua to guard Hanzhong, and raised 300,000 troops from the same generals, and came directly to Taoyang.People from Chuankou had already reported to Qishan Village.At that time, Deng Ai was discussing military affairs with Sima Wang. When he heard the letter, he sent someone to spy on him.In return, all the Shu soldiers came out of Taoyang.Sima Wang said: "Jiang Wei has many tricks. Could it be that he took Taoyang in vain and actually took Qishan?"Deng Ai said: "Jiang Wei actually left Taoyang today."Wang said: "How do you know it?"Ai said: Xiangzhe Jiang Wei came out of the land where I had food, and now Taoyang has no food. To connect with the Qiang people is to count for a long time.Wang said: If this is the case, what can I do?Ai said: You can withdraw all the soldiers here, and divide into two routes to rescue Taoyang: 25 li away from Taoyang, there is a small town of Houhe, which is the throat of Taoyang.The public led an army to Fuhou in Taoyang, lowered the banners and drums, opened the four gates wide, and did so; but I led an army to Fuhouhe, and I will surely win a big victory.The planning has been decided, and everyone will act according to the plan.Only some generals were left to guard Qishan Village.

But it is said that Jiang Wei ordered Xiahouba to be the front, and first led an army to take Taoyang.Ba Tibing advanced, approaching Taoyang, and saw that there was no banner on the city, and the four gates were wide open.Ba Xin doubted, did not dare to enter the city, looked back at the generals and said: "Could it be a fraud?"The generals said: "It was an empty city, but some ordinary people left the city when they heard that the general had arrived."Ba Weixin, he rode his horse to the south of the city and looked at it, only to see countless old and young behind the city, all looking northwest and fleeing.Ba Daxi said: "Guokong City is also."So he was the first to enter, and the rest followed.When we got to the edge of the urn city, there was a sudden sound of gongs, drums and horns on the city, flags were erected all over the city, and the suspension bridge was pulled up.Pa was shocked and said: "It's a mistake!"When they were about to retreat in a panic, arrows and rocks rained down on the city.Poor Xia Houba and his five hundred troops all died under the city.Later generations have poems sighing:

Bold Jiang Weimiao counts as a master, but Deng Ai secretly guards against it.Poorly voted for Han Xiahouba, and died in an instant with an arrow at the edge of the city. Sima Wang rushed out from the city, and the Shu soldiers were defeated and fled.Then Jiang Wei led the troops to arrive, killed Sima Wang, and went down to the stronghold near the city.When Wei Wen heard that Xia Houba was shot to death, he was deeply hurt.At the second watch of the night, Deng Ai secretly led an army into Shuzhai from the city of Houhe.The Shu army was in chaos, and Jiang Wei couldn't stop it.The city was full of drums and horns, and Sima Wang led his troops out.After two attacks, the Shu army was defeated.Wei Zuoheng rushed to the right, and was able to escape in a deadly battle. He retreated more than 20 li and went to the village.After the Shu soldiers were defeated twice, their hearts were shaken.Wei and the generals said: Victory and defeat are common in military strategists.Although the loss of soldiers and generals is not enough to worry about.Success or failure, in one fell swoop.You never change.If there is a word to retreat, it will be cut immediately.Zhang Yi said: "Wei soldiers are here, and Qishan must be empty."The general confronted Deng Ai with his troops and attacked Taoyang and Houhe; a certain army led an army to take Qishan.After taking the Jiuzhai in Qishan, they drove their troops to Chang'an: this is the best plan.

Wei followed it, and ordered Zhang Yi to lead the rear army to take Qishan.Wei Zi led his troops to Houhe to fight Deng Ai.Ai led the army out to meet him.The two armies faced each other, and the two fought for more than ten times, regardless of the outcome, and each retreated back to the village.The next day, Jiang Wei led his troops to challenge again, but Deng Ai stopped his troops and did not come out.Jiang Wei ordered the army to insult him. Deng Aixun thought: "The Shu people were killed by me for a while, and they didn't retreat at all. They came back to fight day after day: we must divide our troops to attack Qishanzhai."Guarding the stronghold will be compiled by teachers, and the soldiers will be few and wise, and they will surely be defeated.I will personally go to save it.He called his son Deng Zhong to pay and said: "You guard this place with your heart, let him fight, but don't go out lightly."I will lead my troops to Qishan to rescue them tonight.It was the second watch of the night, and Jiang Wei was planning in the village, when suddenly he heard shouts from outside the village shaking the ground, drums and horns blaring: it was reported that Deng Ai had led three thousand elite soldiers to fight at night, and all the generals were about to come out.Weizhi said: Don't move rashly.It turned out that Deng Ai led his troops to the outpost of Shuzhai to explore, and took advantage of the situation to rescue Qi Shan.Deng Zhong went into the city himself.Jiang Wei called the generals and said: Deng Aixu is going to fight at night, so he must go to save Qishan village.But he called Fu Qian to pay and said: "You guard this stronghold, don't take the enemy lightly."After the instruction, Wei led three thousand soldiers to help Zhang Yi.

But Zhang Yi is going to Qishan to attack, and the generals guarding the stronghold have too few troops to support them.Seeing to be broken, Deng Ai's soldiers suddenly arrived and charged for a while. The Shu soldiers were defeated, and Zhang Yi was separated behind the mountain, and there was no way back.While in a hurry, suddenly there was a loud shout, and the drums and horns were loud, and Wei soldiers retreated one after another.The left and right reports said: General Jiang Boyue has been killed.Wing took advantage of the momentum to drive the troops accordingly.With two pincer attacks, Deng Ai flinched for a while, then hurriedly retreated to Qishan Village.Jiang Wei ordered his troops to attack on all sides.

The words are divided into two parts: but it is said that the empress is in Chengdu, he listens to the words of the eunuch Huang Hao, and is addicted to wine and sex, ignoring the government.At that time, there was a minister Liu Yan's wife Hu Shi, who was very colorful; because she entered the palace to meet the queen, she stayed in the palace and left in January.Suspecting that his wife had an affair with the Empress, Yan called 500 sergeants under the tent to stand in front of them, bound his wife, and ordered each army to slap dozens of them on their faces and recover from death.The Empress was furious upon hearing this, and ordered a minister to discuss Liu Yan's crime.A minister deliberated: "The death is not a person who plucks his wife, and his face is not a place of punishment: it is appropriate to abandon the market."Then Liu Yan was beheaded.Since then, women were not allowed to enter the dynasty.However, for a while, the bureaucrats will be licentious in the future, and there will be many doubters.So the sage gradually retreats, and the villain advances day by day.At that time, Yan Yu, the right general, had no merit in his body; he was awarded a heavy title only because of his affiliation with Huang Hao; when he heard that Jiang Wei was in charge of the army at Qishan, he said that the posthumous master said: "Jiang Wei has failed in many battles, so he can order Yan Yu to replace him."Following his words, the Empress sent envoys to recall Jiang Wei.Wei was attacking Zhaizha in Qishan Mountain, when suddenly three orders came one day, and Xuanwei's class was taught.Wei had no choice but to obey, first ordered Taoyang soldiers to retreat, and then retreated slowly with Zhang Yi.Deng Ai was in the stronghold, only to hear the sound of drums and horns all night, and he didn't know what it meant.In Pingming, people reported that the Shu soldiers had all retreated, leaving only empty strongholds.Ai suspected that he had a plan and did not dare to pursue him.

Jiang Wei went to Hanzhong, rested his troops, and went to Chengdu with his mission to see the queen.The Empress did not go to court for ten days in a row.Wei was puzzled.It was the day I arrived at Donghuamen, and met the secretary Lang Quezheng.Wei asked: "Is the emperor calling the teacher of Wei's class, do you know the reason?"Zheng smiled and said: "The general doesn't know yet: Huang Hao wants to make Yan Yu do meritorious service. He heard about the court and issued an edict to take it back. The general now hears that Deng Ai is good at using troops, so he went to sleep."Wei said angrily, "I will kill this eunuch!"But he just said: "The general follows Wuhou's affairs and assumes a high position. How can he make mistakes?"If the emperor does not tolerate it, it is not beautiful.Wei Xie said: "What Mr. said is true."The next day, the Empress Dowager and Huang Hao had a banquet in the back garden, and several people from Wei Yin came in.Someone reported Huang Hao earlier, and Hao hurriedly took refuge on the side of the lake and mountain.Wei went to the pavilion, paid homage to the empress, and sobbed and said: "The minister trapped Deng Ai in Qishan, and your majesty issued three imperial edicts in succession to call the minister back to the court. What is the holy meaning of the untrial?"The Empress remained silent.Wei also played and said: "Huang Hao is treacherous and ingenious, and he is a ten-time attendant of Emperor Ling."Your Majesty is based on Zhang Rang for the near, and Zhao Gao for the far.If this person is killed early, the court will naturally be peaceful, and the Central Plains can be restored.The Empress said with a smile: "Huang Hao is going to leave the little minister. Even if he monopolizes power, he can't do anything."In the past, Dong Yun gritted his teeth and hated Hao, I was very surprised.Why do you mind?Wei kowtowed and said, "If your majesty doesn't kill Huang Hao today, the disaster will not be far away."The master said: love desires its life, and evil desires its death.Why don't you allow a eunuch?Ling Jin waited on the side of the lake and mountain, called Huang Hao to the pavilion, and ordered Jiang Wei to avenge his crime.Hao cried and worshiped Wei and said: "It's just that I will serve the Holy One sooner or later, and I will not interfere with the state affairs."The general should stop listening to outsiders and want to kill someone.A certain life depends on the general, but the general pities him.Yanluo, kowtow and shed tears.

Wei came out angrily, but when he went to see him, he was upright, and he was going to tell the matter.Zheng said: General misfortune is not far away.If the general is in danger, the country will be destroyed.Wei said: "Mr. fortunately taught me how to protect the country and protect myself."Zheng said: "There is a place in Longxi called Dazhong: this place is extremely fat and strong."Why doesn't the general follow the example of Marquis Wu's garrisoning the fields, tell the emperor, and go to Tazhong to garrison the fields?One: get the wheat ripe to help the army; two, you can try your best to plan the counties in Longyou; three, the Wei people dare not face up to Hanzhong; The policy of protecting the country and its safety should be implemented as early as possible.Wei was overjoyed, thanked him and said, "Sir, it's the words of gold and jade."The next day, Jiang Wei played the Empress Dowager, begging Tazhong to garrison the fields and follow the example of Marquis Wu.The master follows it.Wei then returned to Hanzhong, gathered all the generals and said: "A certain tired teacher, because of insufficient food, failed."Now I have raised 80,000 troops to plant wheat in Tazhong and garrison the fields, and Xu Tu will make progress.You and others have fought and toiled for a long time. Today, we gathered troops to gather in the valley and retreated to Hanzhong. The Wei soldiers transported grain for thousands of miles and crossed the mountains. They were naturally tired;Then he ordered Hu Ji to guard Hanshou City, Wang Han to guard Le City, Jiang Bin to guard Seoul, and Jiang Shu and Fu Qian to guard the pass together.After the allocation was completed, Wei led 80,000 troops to plant wheat in the middle of the pack, thinking it would be a long-term plan.

But Deng Ai heard that Jiang Wei was farming in Tazhong, and there were more than forty battalions under the road, with continuous contacts, like a long snake.Ai Suiling made a detailed picture of the topography, drew it into a picture book, and presented it with a table.When Ma Zhao of the Jin company saw it, he said angrily: "Jiang Wei has repeatedly violated the Central Plains and cannot be eradicated. This is my heart's trouble."Jia Chong said: "Jiang Wei was taught by Kongming deeply, and it is difficult to retreat.It is necessary to have a wise and brave general, and to assassinate him, so as to avoid the labor of sending troops.Xun Xu, who was engaged in the middle class, said: Otherwise: Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, is addicted to wine and sex, and his trust is Huang Hao. All the ministers have the heart to avoid disaster. Jiang Wei is farming in Dazhong, and he is planning to avoid disaster.If you order the generals to attack them, they will be invincible, so why use assassins?Zhao laughed and said, "That's the best thing to say."I want to conquer Shu, who can be the general?Xun Xu said: "Deng Ai is a good talent in the world, and Zhong Hui was appointed as the deputy general. The great event has been accomplished."Zhao Daxi said: "This statement is exactly what I want."Nai called Zhonghui in and asked, "I want you to be a general to attack Dongwu, is it possible?"Hui said: "My lord's intention is that I don't want to attack Wu, but I really want to attack Shu."Zhao laughed and said: "Zicheng knows my heart, but what strategy should you use when you go to attack Shu?"The meeting said: "The master of a certain material wants to conquer Shu, so here is the picture book."Zhaozhan looked at it: in the picture, there is a detailed description of the place where the camps are camped, the villages and the grain and grass are accumulated, where to enter and where to retreat.Zhao looked overjoyed and said, "A really good general!"How about Qing and Deng Ai joining forces to take Shu?The meeting said: "Shuchuan has a wide range of roads, and it is not possible to advance all the way; it is possible to make Deng Ai divide his troops and advance separately."Zhao Sui worshiped Zhonghui as the general of Zhenxi, and under the guise of Jieyue, he supervised the people and horses in Guanzhong and dispatched them to Qi, Xu, Yan, Yu, Jing, Yang, etc.; About to attack Shu.The next day, Sima Zhao discussed the matter in the court. The former general Deng Dun said: "Jiang Wei has repeatedly violated the Central Plains, and our soldiers have suffered many injuries. We are only defending the defense now, but we have not yet protected ourselves. How can we go deep into the dangerous land of mountains and rivers and bring disaster upon ourselves?" yeah?Zhao Nu said: "I want to become a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and defeat the master of no way. How dare you go against my will?"The samurai launched a behead.In a moment, Deng Dun's head was at the bottom of the steps.Everyone is pale.Zhao said: "Since I conquered the East, I have rested for six years. I have completed the military and armour, and I have wanted to attack Wu and Shu for a long time."Now we first set up Western Shu, take advantage of the downstream, advance both land and water, and annex Dongwu: this is the way to destroy Guo and take Yu.I estimate that among the soldiers of Western Shu, there are 80,000 to 90,000 guarding Chengdu, only 40,000 to 50,000 guarding the frontier, and only 60,000 to 70,000 Jiang Wei to farm.Now I have ordered Deng Ai to lead more than 100,000 soldiers from Longyou outside the pass, and to tie Jiang Wei in Tazhong, so that he could not look east; sent Zhonghui to lead 200,000 to 300,000 elite soldiers from Guanzhong, and went straight to Luogu: three routes to attack Hanzhong.Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, was in darkness, the border city was broken outside, and the scholars and women were shaken internally. His death was inevitable.All worshiped.

But it is said that Zhong Hui received the seal of General Zhenxi and raised troops to attack Shu.Fearful of conspiracy or venting, but in the name of cutting Wu, he ordered five places, including Qi, Yan, Yu, Jing, and Yang, to build large ships; he also sent Tang Zi to places near the sea in Deng, Lai and other states to arrest sea ships.Sima Zhao didn't know what he meant, so he summoned Zhong Hui and asked, "Why do you build ships when you collect the river from the dry road?"Hui said: "If Shu hears that our troops are making great advances, it will ask Soochow for help. Therefore, first spread the momentum and act as if to attack Wu, and Wu will not dare to act rashly."Within a year, Shu has been destroyed and the ship has been completed. Wouldn't it be smooth to attack Wu?Zhao is overjoyed and chooses Sunrise teacher.In the fourth year of Wei Jingyuan, on the third day of the seventh month of autumn, Zhong Hui left his teacher.Sima Zhao sent him back ten miles outside the city.Shao Timi of Xicao said to Sima Zhao, saying: "Now my lord sends Zhonghui to lead a hundred thousand soldiers to attack Shu. It is foolish to think that Zhonghui will be ambitious and high-minded, so he should not be allowed to take power alone."Zhao laughed and said, "Don't I know it?"Ti said: "My lord, you know, why don't you let others take the same post?"Zhao Ti's countless words made Shao Ti's suspicion suddenly clear.It's exactly: Fang is a soldier and horse, and he knew the general's domineering heart early on.I don't know what to say, let's see the breakdown below. ① A woman who has received the title of the emperor. ② Sleep here means to stop. ③ Zhao Gao, the eunuch of the Qin Dynasty, and the powerful minister of the second Qin Dynasty, abused the country by monopolizing power.
