In 263 AD, the Wei State led 100,000 troops as the main general, Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu each led 30,000 troops as the deputy, and divided the troops into three groups to attack Shu Han. The Shu Han was destroyed back then, but the wonderful story had just begun.
Shortly after the demise of Shu Han, Deng Ai was arrogant because of his merits and acted as a reward, angering everyone, and was eventually taken down by Sima Zhao on the charge of rebellion (later executed on the way to escort Chang'an ).
Just as Deng Ai was sent away, Zhonghui continued to announce his rebellion in Chengdu. But just two days later, a mutiny occurred in Chengdu. Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei died in the chaos. This is also the very famous " loses all three times and suffers ".
Deng Ai's rebellion can basically be proved to be a false accusation, so why did Zhong Hui rebel? From his rapid death, we can see that the rebellion was very hasty, and it could even be said to be unprepared. This should not be the act of the general who led one side. Could it be that it is really like the legend, Jiang Wei was given a ecstasy soup?
Zhong Hui's origin is very prominent -- Yingchuan Zhong family, which was a prominent family in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and was no less than the Sima family of the dynasty. Zhong Hui himself is also capable and is highly appreciated and trusted by the Sima family. He is regarded as a confidant by Sima Zhao. Therefore, Zhong Hui became an important figure in the Wei court at a young age, but this also laid the groundwork for his future "rebellion".
In 263 AD, Sima Zhao, the general of Wei State, proposed to attack Shu, but Sima Zhao's purpose at this time was not to destroy Shu. In fact, he had never thought about destroying Shu, why did he say so?
In May 258 and April 260 AD, the puppet emperor of Wei State, Cao Mao, issued two edicts to confer Sima Zhao as Jin Gong and add Jiuxi, but Sima Zhao refused to accept it. It’s not that Sima Zhao is unwilling, but that the drama of “three words and three giving in” must be done, and it also needs to discover and eliminate dissidents through “ Who Opposes ”.
After Sima Zhao refused for the second time, Cao Mao also understood that there was not much time left for himself. On the fourth day of May of that year, Cao Mao took a desperate bet and personally led the guards out of the palace to attack Sima Zhao. As a result, he was fooled by Jia Chong and killed the prince's wife in the street (later Cheng Ji was killed by Sima Zhao for the crime of regicide).
The emperor's governor leaked his affairs and attacked the prime minister's mansion with his commanders, saying that there was something to be asked, and those who dared to act would be punished. The soldiers and generals of the Prime Minister's Office were not afraid to fight. Jia Chong scolded the generals and said, "You are the only one who raises you today!" The prince's wife Cheng Ji pulled the sword and attacked him, stabbed him, and the blade came out of his back, and the emperor collapsed in the car.
" Jin Shu "
So at this time Sima Zhao proposed to attack Shu, just to create some military achievements, restore some of the bad reputation of regicide, and complete the last step of usurping the throne, and grant the title of Duke of Jin and Jiuxi.
Due to the Wei State's previous attacks on Shu, Shu Han's defense was stable and the road was difficult. So this time, not to mention that the court could destroy Shu, there were not many people who thought they could be invincible, so basically no one agreed with Sima Zhao's argument. In the end, Zhong Hui firmly supported Sima Zhao and persuaded Deng Ai, which allowed Sima Zhao's plan to attack Shu to be completed.
Note: Before the attack on Shu, Zhong Hui was the main position of the Sili School Captain ( Guanneihou ), and was an important aide and general in charge of the army of Sima Zhao. Deng Ai was the General of Zhenxi (Deng Hou) and the governor of the military affairs of Longyou.
originally just wanted to take advantage of it and stopped, but since the Wei army officially began to attack Shu, Zhong Hui's good luck could not be stopped.
First, Jiang Wei gave up the strategy of sticking to the dangerous pass and chose to put the Wei army into the hinterland of Hanzhong . As a result, not only did he fail to set up an ambush to encircle the Wei army, but he was penetrated by the Wei army. Zhong Hui unexpectedly occupied Hanzhong and exceeded the task, and Sima Zhao couldn't wait to add nine tins.
In October of winter, the emperor came with the princes' gifts, and then Shen Qian ordered: "...I am granted Duke to Duke Jin... Now I will be promoted to the position of Duke of the State, and I will add a green sash. I will add a nine-tin..." The ministers, ministers and generals all went to the palace to express their orders, and the emperor gave in courtesy. SikongZheng Chong led the officials to persuade him, "...Why do you have to be diligent and small?" The emperor accepted the order.
"Book of Jin·Emperor Wen Ji"
Jiang Wei led his army to retreat to Jiange before he stabilized the defense line.At this time, the advantage of Shu Han's geographical advantage was also highlighted, and the Wei army was in a stalemate in Jiange. Because of the long-term attack and the difficulty of transporting food, Zhong Hui was preparing to end the war and the troops went on duty.
If this attack on Shu ends like this, will Zhong rebel naturally be fine and will be promoted with Sima Zhao. But Zhong Hui’s misfortune lies in his good luck.
When Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei were in Jiang Ge, Deng Ai unexpectedly led to the Yinping path and entered Chengdu Plain and scared Liu Chan . The attack on Shu instantly turned into destroying Shu, and military achievements became extraordinary achievements, and the fate of the relevant people also reversed at this moment.
First of all, Deng Ai was blinded by the great contribution. He imitated Eastern Han General Deng Yu , and rewarded surrendered monarchs and ministers of Shu Han in Chengdu in the name of the emperor, and also said some words to give people a hand (later falsely accused of winning over surrendered generals to be ill):
Following Deng Yu's story, he inherited the Zen General, the Crown Prince, and the Prince Consort of the Kings and the Prince Consort of the Kings. The Shu clans were appointed as kings, or they were subordinates of Ai officials... and said to the Shu scholars and officials, "You are not allowed to be met by someone, so you have the present day. If you meet the disciples of Wu and Han, you have been destroyed."
" Three Kingdoms "
Note: Wu Han is a general under the command of Eastern Han Liu Xiu . He once pacified Shu and plundered soldiers.
No matter what Deng Ai means, in Sima Zhao's view, this is ignoring and provoking his authoritarian . In addition, Deng Ai was not aware of advancing and retreating later, and repeatedly asked to take advantage of the situation to attack the Eastern Wu and seek military power. In the view of Sima Zhao, who was eager to gather power and prestige to usurp the throne, this was not an expansion of territory for the court, it was a thorn in intentional trouble.
So Zhong Hui falsely accused him in time, and Deng Ai's ending was destined. After solving Deng Ai, the matter is not over. Because in Sima Zhao's eyes, the clock will be more dangerous than Deng Ai at this time, and the reason is due to the credit.
Although Deng Ai, who destroyed Shu, as the commander of Zhong Hui, as the commander of this expedition, naturally had his contribution to destroying the country (and it was the big one). What kind of reward is a trivial matter to Zhong Hui. The key is that with the blessing of this heavenly power, the family behind Zhong Hui will inevitably rise and will even surpass the Sima family.
How could Sima Zhao, who was eager to usurp the throne, not worry or careless?
As for saying that Zhong Hui is his trusted confidant, it will not only not offset Sima Zhao's concerns, but will instead aggravate his concerns. Wasn’t their Sima and his son also the confidants of Cao Cao and Cao Pi ? In Sima Zhao's view, if it is not handled in time, it will not be a strange thing to repeat the mistakes of Cao's family.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter what Zhong Hui’s attitude is. What’s important is to seize the opportunity to erase Zhong’s family.
Because Zhong Hui did not intend to rebel in a dangerous way, Sima Zhao played a stubborn plot. After convicting Deng Ai, he went to the Zhonghui. He said he was going to meet him in Chang'an, and after receiving the letter, Zhong Hui had to choose to retaliate.
Wen Wang's book says: "I'm afraid Deng Ai may not be recruited, so I sent the Central Guard Jia Chong to the 100,000 infantry and cavalry to enter the Xiegu and stationed in Lecheng. I will be 100,000 to Chang'an. When we meet each other, we are close to each other."
Hui received the book and exclaimed that he said: "Just take Deng Ai, the Prime Minister knows that I can do it alone. Now that we are serious, we will realize that I am different, so we should do it quickly. If we succeed, we can win the world. If we fail, we will retreat to Shu Han and do not lose the work. Liu Bei . Since Huainan, I have painted all the plans and are known to all the worlds. How can I return to this?"
"Three Kingdoms"
Sima Zhao personally led 100,000 people to "support" Zhong Hui in the name of suppressing Deng Ai and his subordinates. Deng Ai's subordinates had only 30,000, and at this time, Zhong Hui's Wei army and Shu Han surrendered soldiers had more than 100,000. There was no problem that Zhong Hui could not suppress Deng Ai. So this is "supporting" who is really "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone".
Zhong Hui is very clear that no matter what he does, Sima Zhao will take him down this time. He had no way out and could only give it a try. In other words, Zhong Hui had no intention of rebelling, and he was forced to rebel by Sima Zhao.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of 264 AD, Zhong Hui rushed to Chengdu and sent someone to imprison Deng Ai and took him to Chang'an.The next day, he summoned the generals of the Wei army to discuss matters, and announced in the name of the last edict of Emperor Ming of Wei and Empress Guo, that he would raise an army to depose Sima Zhao, and asked the generals to write a document of approval.
年0年网站 will arrive on the fifteenth day of the fifth year. Tomorrow, he will invite all the guards, county magistrates, Yamen cavalry and the Forbidden City in Shu to mourn the Empress Dowager in Shu court. Empress Dowager Jiao ordered the union of the army to revive King Wen, and all of them were instructed to take charge of the orders. After the proposal was made, the letter was set up, and the confidants even led the troops on their behalf.
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Biography of Zhong Hui"
But the generals refused to obey, Zhong Hui had to order people to imprison them first. There is a detail here. Jiang Wei suggested that Zhong Hui kill all these disobedient generals to avoid chaos, but Zhong Hui did not agree.
This also proves the hasty rebellion of Zhong Hui, because he did not install enough confidants in the army. If he kills these people, he will be even more unable to control the army. Zhong Hui was not stupid either. He really killed all of them. How could he control Jiang Wei and his subordinates surrendered soldiers?
The personal soldiers of the general who were arrested two days later launched a mutiny under the instigation of rumors (rumored that Zhong Hui was going to execute them), and that day Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei died in the chaos. This also shows again that Zhong Hui's rebellion was a hasty rebellion, and his control over the army was very weak at this time.
Although there is no relevant evidence in history books, there is reason to believe that Sima Zhao played a key role in secret. He dared to force Zhong Hui publicly, and it was probably because he had established contact with the Wei army in Shu, and he was sure that they would not rebel with Zhong Hui. Otherwise, Sima Zhao would not be able to destroy these tens of thousands of people in Shu for a while.
