But he said that the Empress was in Chengdu. When he heard that Deng Ai had taken Mianzhu, Zhuge Zhan and his son were dead, he was shocked and called for civil and military discussions.The near minister said: "The people outside the city, helping the old and the young, were crying loudly, and each fled for his life."The Empress was panicked.Suddenly the sentry horse reported that Wei Bing was approaching the city.Many officials said: "There are few soldiers and few generals, and it is difficult to meet the enemy; it is better to abandon Chengdu as soon as possible and go to the seven counties in the south: the land is steep and can be defended by itself, so it is not too late to use barbarians to overcome it."Qiao Zhou, the doctor of Guanglu, said: "No: People who have been opposed by the southern barbarians for a long time have never benefited them in the past; if they vote for them now, they will suffer great disasters."Many officials said again: "The Shu and Wu alliances are urgent, and you can vote for them."Zhou remonstrated: Since ancient times, no one has sent another country to be the son of heaven.The minister expects that Wei can swallow Wu, but Wu cannot swallow Wei.It would be a disgrace to claim the title of minister to Wu.If Wu is swallowed by Wei, it will be a double humiliation for Your Majesty to become a minister of Wei again.It is better not to vote for Wu but to surrender to Wei.Wei will crack the earth to seal His Majesty, so that the upper can guard the ancestral temple, and the lower can protect the people: May Your Majesty think about it.The queen master is undecided, so she retreats into the palace.

Discussions arose the next day.Seeing that something was urgent, Qiao Zhou went back to Shu Zheng.The master followed Qiao Zhou's words.Just about to come out, a person turned out from behind the screen and scolded Zhou sharply: "How can you talk about the great affairs of society by stealing rotten Confucianism!"Since ancient times, there has been a son of heaven!The latter regards him as Liu Chen, the fifth son of the Northern Land King.The queen gave birth to seven sons: the eldest son Liu Xuan, the second son Liu Yao, the third son Liu Yu, the fourth son Liu Zan, the fifth son Liu Chen, the king of the North, the sixth son Liu Xun, and the seventh son Liu Zhen.Among the seven sons, Chen was the only one who was smart and sensitive since he was a child, and the rest were cowardly and kind.The Empress said to Chen: "Now the ministers are all discussing that you should surrender. You rely on your blood and courage alone, and you want to make the whole city bleed?"Chen said: In the past, when the late emperor was in Japan, Qiao Zhou never interfered in the state affairs; now he discusses important matters indiscriminately, making nonsense remarks, which is very unreasonable.I expect that there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in Chengdu; all Jiang Wei's troops are in the Jiange;How can you listen to the words of rotten Confucianism and lightly abolish the foundation of the late emperor?The empress scolded him and said: How do you know the right time, little boy!Chen kowtowed his head and cried, saying: If the power is extremely poor and the disaster is imminent, then father and son, monarch and ministers will fight against the city, and die together in order to meet the first emperor;The Empress did not listen.Chen Fang cried loudly and said: "It was not easy for the first emperor to establish a foundation; if I abandon it now, I would rather die than humiliate it!"Later, the Lord ordered his ministers to push out the gate of the palace, and then ordered Qiao Zhou to write a letter of surrender, and sent Zhang Shao, the servant of the private office, and Deng Liang, the captain of the son-in-law, together with Qiao Zhou and Yuxi, to come to Luocheng to ask for surrender.

At that time, Deng Ai ordered hundreds of cavalry to come to Chengdu for sentry every day.Ai was overjoyed when he saw the lowering flag was set up that day.After a while, Zhang Shao waited, and Ai was welcomed in.The three of them bowed down at the bottom of the steps and presented the jade seals of the ascending and descending styles.Ai Kaijiang regarded it as a book, and was overjoyed. He received the jade seal and treated Zhang Shao, Qiao Zhou, Deng Liang and so on.Ai Zuo wrote back and paid the three of them to return to Chengdu to reassure people's hearts.The three of them bid farewell to Deng Ai and returned to Chengdu. They went to see the Empress and submitted a letter, detailing Deng Ai's kindness to each other.The master unpacked it and looked at it. He was overjoyed and sent his eunuch Jiang Xianhe to order Jiang Wei to come down early; he sent Shang Shulang Li Hu to send the book and Ai: a total of 280,000 households, 940,000 men and women, and 100,000 armored soldiers. Two thousand, 40,000 officials, more than 400,000 grains, 2,000 catties of gold and silver, and 200,000 pieces of silk and silk each.The rest is in the warehouse, not as good as the number.On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor and his ministers descended.

When Liu Chen, king of the Northland, heard about it, he was so angry that he brought his sword into the palace.His wife, Mrs. Cui, asked, "Your Majesty's color is abnormal today. Why?"Chen said: "Wei soldiers are approaching, and the father and emperor have paid the surrender. Tomorrow, the monarch and ministers will surrender, and the country will be wiped out from then on."I want to die first to see the first emperor in the ground, and not to bow my knees to others!Mrs. Cui said: "Xianzai!"Xianzai!It's dead!Concubine, please die first, it is not too late for the king to die.Chen said: Why did you die?Mrs. Cui said: "The father died of the king, and the husband died of the concubine: the meaning is the same."Husband died and wife died, why bother to ask?After speaking, he touched the pillar and died.Chen Nai committed suicide by his three sons, cut off his wife's head, and brought him to Zhaolie Temple.If the ancestors have spirits: know the heart of grandchildren!Crying loudly, bleeding from the eyes, committing suicide.When the people of Shu heard about it, they were all sad.Later generations have a poem praising it:

Monarchs and ministers are willing to bow their knees, and one son is sad alone.Let's go to Xichuan, the king of the north!Donate your life to reward the ancestors, scratch your head and weep in the sky.If the stern man is here, who Yun Han is dead? The queen listened to the king of the Northland who killed himself, and ordered him to be buried. The next day, Wei Bing arrived.The queen master led the princes, princes, kings, and more than 60 ministers, bound Yugu ① face to face, and descended ten miles from the north gate.Deng Ai helped up the queen master, untied him personally, burned his father's wife, and drove into the city.Later generations have poems sighing:

Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers came to Sichuan, and the master of the queen died and killed himself.Huang Hao has always been bullying the country's will, and Jiang Weikong is in charge of helping the time.How strong is the heart of all loyal and righteous people, and the chastity-keeping king Sun Zhi is sad.It is not easy for Zhao Lie to run a good business, and his achievements will be ruined in one day. So all the people in Chengdu greeted them with fragrant flowers.Ai worshiped the empress as the hussar general, and the rest of the civil and military officials followed each other to worship officials; please return the empress to the palace, release the list to calm the people, and deliver the warehouse.He also ordered Taichang Zhang Jun and Yizhou not to drive Zhang Shao, and recruited soldiers and civilians from all counties.It is also said that Jiang Wei surrendered.On the one hand, he sent people to Luoyang to report victory.Ai Wen Huang Hao is treacherous and wants to kill him.Hao bribed him with gold treasures, so he was spared.Since the death of the Han Dynasty.After the death of the Han Dynasty, some people recalled the poems of Marquis Wu and said:

Yu Niao is hesitant and afraid of the Jian Shu, and Feng Yun always protects Chu Xu.Just order the general to wave his magic pen, and finally see the descendant king go to pass the chariot.There is no shame in wind music talent; Guan Zhang has no life and desire!In his year of Jinli Jing Temple, "Father of Liang" was recited into hatred! Let's say that the eunuch Jiang Xian came to Jiange, entered Jiang Wei, and passed on the order of the empress master to say that he would surrender.Wei was shocked and speechless.When all the generals under the tent heard this, they resented together, gritted their teeth and glared, their beard and hair stood on end, they drew their knives and chopped stones and shouted: "We are fighting to the death, why come down first!"The sound of crying can be heard for dozens of miles.Seeing that people think about Han, he caressed him with kind words and said: Don't worry, generals: I have a plan to restore the Han Dynasty.Everyone asks.Jiang Wei and the generals whispered their plans.When the flags were lowered at Jianmenguan, the first people reported to Zhonghui Village, saying that Jiang Wei had led Zhang Yi, Liao Hua, Dong Jue and others to surrender.Hui will be overjoyed, and people will welcome Wei into the account. Hui will say, "how late is Bo Yue coming?"Wei Zheng said with tears in his eyes, "the whole teacher of the country is with me. It's still too late to get here today."It will be very strange, and I will worship each other and be the guest of honor.Wei Shuohui said: I heard that the general has made no plans since Huainan;For example, Deng Shizai, when fighting to the death, will Anken surrender?Hui then broke the arrow as an oath, and became brothers with Wei. They had a close love and still ordered them to lead the army as usual.Wei was overjoyed and ordered Jiang Xian to go back to Chengdu.

However, it is said that Deng Aifeng was compiled as the governor of Yizhou, and Qianhong, Wang Qi and other leading prefectures and counties; he also built a platform in Mianzhu to honor his military exploits, and held a banquet with all the officials in central Shu.When the moxa wine was half drunk, he pointed to the officials and said, "you are lucky to meet me, so you have today's ears."If you meet other generals, you will all be wiped out.Duoguan stood up and thanked him.Suddenly Jiang Xian arrived and said that Jiang Wei had descended to the west of Zhongzhen.Because of this, Ai hated Zhong Hui, so he wrote a letter and asked him to go to Luoyang Zhijin Company Ma Zhao.Zhao Deshu regards it.The book says:

Chen Aiqie said that the soldiers have the first voice and then the real one: now because of the situation of Pingshu to take advantage of Wu, this is the time of sweeping.However, after the large-scale campaign, the soldiers are exhausted and cannot be used conveniently; it is better to keep 20,000 soldiers from Longyou and 20,000 soldiers from Shu, cook salt to promote metallurgy, and build boats and boats to prepare for a plan to go downstream; Set also.Now it is advisable to treat Liu Chan generously and even Sun Xiu; if you send Chan to Beijing, the people of Wu will be suspicious, and they will not persuade Xiang Hua.And the right to stay in Shu, you have to arrive in Beijing in the winter of the next year; now you can make Zen the king of Fufeng, and use it to make money for his left and right. Huaide, wait and see.

After Sima Zhao read it, he deeply suspected that Deng Ai had a heart of self-discipline, so he first sent a handwritten letter to Wei Guan, and then he conferred the title of Ai Zhao saying: Deng Ai, General of the West Expedition: Brilliant and powerful, he went deep into the enemy's territory, causing the tyrant to surrender with his neck tied; the soldiers did not exceed the time limit, and the war did not last all day. , Han Xin conquered Zhao, not as good as Xun.He took Ai as the Taiwei, increased the town by 20,000 households, granted the two sons Tinghou, and each fed a thousand households in the town.

After Deng Ai received the edict, Wei Guan, the military supervisor, took out Sima Zhao's handwritten letter and Ai.The book says that what Deng Ai said must be reported, and should not be acted on.Ai said: "The general is out, and the king's order is not acceptable."How can I prevent it from enlisting in an imperial edict.Then he wrote another book, ordering the envoy to go to Luoyang.At that time, everyone in the court said that Deng Ai must have objections, and Sima Zhao became more and more suspicious.Suddenly the mission came back, and Deng Ai's book was presented.Zhao unpacked it and looked at it, and the book said: Ai was ordered to march west, and Yuan Ei obeyed, so he acted expediently and attached himself to Anchu.If you wait for the order of the country, you will go back and forth on the road, extending the sun and the moon. The meaning of "Spring and Autumn": When a doctor goes out of the frontier, he can secure the country and benefit the country, and he can specialize in it.Today, Wu Weibin is connected with Shu in power, so we should not keep the chance of failure.The art of war advances without seeking fame, and retreats without avoiding crimes.Although Ai has no integrity of the ancients, he never thinks of harming the country.First of all, this application form can be implemented. Sima Zhao was shocked when he saw this, and panicked to discuss with Jia Chong, saying: "Deng Ai is proud of his merits, and he does what he wants. What can I do if he shows his appearance?"Jia Chong said, "my lord, why don't you seal the bell to control it?"According to his proposal, Zhao sent envoys to serve as Situ, and ordered Wei Guan to supervise the two armies and horses.Will read the imperial edict, which said: Zhenxi General Zhong Hui: Invincible in all directions, no strong beams in front, restraining the cities, snares and escapes; the hero of Shu, bound to his fate; no strategy left behind, no meritorious deeds.He regarded the meeting as Situ, entered the feudal county marquis, increased the number of households in the city, and made the two sons Tinghou, with a thousand households in each city. Zhong Huizhen was granted the title, and he asked Jiang Wei to discuss and say: Deng Ai was superior to me, and he was granted the post of Taiwei; now Sima Gong suspected that Ai had rebellious ambitions, so he ordered Wei Guan to be the supervisor of the army and ordered me to control him.What is Boyue's insight?Wei said: I have heard that Deng Ai was born in a humble family, raised calves for a farm family when he was young, and now he was lucky enough to climb a wooden cliff on a slope in Yinping, and achieved this great feat; Can Ai An accomplish this?Today, if you want to make the lord of Shu the King of Fufeng, you are tying up the hearts of the people of Shu, and you can see his antipathy: the Duke of Jin doubts it.Will be delighted.Wei said again: "Please step back and leave, Wei has something to tell."It will make the left and right retreat.He took out a picture from his sleeve to attend the meeting, and said: In the past, when Wuhou came out of the thatched cottage, he dedicated this picture to the first emperor, and said: The land of Yizhou is fertile and wild for thousands of miles, and the people are rich and the country is rich, which can be hegemony.Therefore, the first emperor founded Chengdu.Now that Deng Ai is here, is An De crazy?I will be overjoyed and ask about the situation of mountains and rivers.Wei Yi said it all.Hui asked again: "What should be done to get rid of moxa?"Wei said: "When the Duke of Jin is suspicious, he should rush to the table and say that Ai is against him; the Duke of Jin will definitely order the general to discuss it and he can be arrested."According to Hui's words, he sent people to Luoyang with Biao, saying that Deng Ai had the power to do whatever he wanted, and if he made friends with the people of Shu, he would turn against him sooner or later.So the court, Chinese and military were all shocked.They will also ask people to intercept Deng Ai's expression in the middle, and rewrite the arrogant words according to Ai's brushwork, and use their own words. When Sima Zhao saw Deng Ai's watch, he was furious, and sent people to Zhonghui's army to order him to collect Ai; he also sent Jia Chong to lead 30,000 soldiers into Xiegu, and Zhao Nai and Cao Huan, the Lord of Wei, marched in person.Western Cao Cao Shao Ti remonstrated, saying: Zhong Hui has six times as many soldiers as Deng Ai.It is enough to collect moxa at the right time; why should Minggong do it himself?Zhao laughed and said, "Have you forgotten what you said in the past?"You once said that you will rebel after the meeting.My current trip is not for Ai, but for Huier.Ti laughed and said: "Someone is afraid that Minggong will forget it, so I ask each other."Now that I have this intention, it is best to keep it secret and not leak it.It was clear what he said, so he raised his soldiers and set off.At that time, Jia Chong also suspected that the clock would change, so he informed Sima Zhao.Zhao said: If you send you, I also doubt you?And when you go to Chang'an, you will understand.A detailed report had already been reported to Zhonghui, saying that Zhao had arrived in Chang'an, and he hurriedly asked Jiang Wei to discuss the strategy of collecting AI.Exactly: I just saw Xishu take down generals, and I saw Chang'an mobilize soldiers.It is unknown what strategy Jiang Wei used to defeat Ai, let's see the breakdown below. ① The ritual of defeating and surrendering in ancient times.Face bound, with hands tied behind the back, facing the victor; and a coffin on the cart.Said that he gave up resistance and bowed his head to be punished. ② unrestrained indulgence.
