Chapter 41: Kind of Yi
Chang'an, the former capital of Han, has been raging for several years and is no longer as gorgeous as hundreds of years ago. However, standing on a high place, you can still vaguely see some of the scenes that were originally seen.
In midsummer, the sky is green and the sun is fierce, and a few rays of fine winds are difficult to drive away the heat.
The distant mountains are stretching, with peaches, plums, oranges and apricots growing on the mountain. The clear stream flows around the mountain and converges on the plains. The jade belt flows across the middle, the weeping willows beside the water, the reeds and lotus are intertwined in a mixed order. The fish and shrimp are thriving in the water. Looking around, there is a beautiful picture of Guanlong.
At this time, Zhong Feng sat on the smooth pebbles beside the stream, with the clogs on his feet soaked in cool water, and the hem of his shirt was soaked in the flowing water, and he was just staring at the river.
The water reflects a beautiful face with a small veil hat on his head, a slanted forehead, and a childish and thick, which is particularly unfamiliar, which is like the present.
For example, when Supreme Treasure saw his monkey face in the demon mirror in "A Chinese Odyssey", he felt like this now.
To be fair, the boy in the water looked pretty and had red lips and white teeth, which was much more handsome than before, but he couldn't tell the weirdness in his heart, even when he woke up ten days ago, he had already accepted the fact that he had traveled through time.
"Xiaolang, the stream is wet, you have just recovered from a serious illness..."
A soft and pleasant voice sounded behind him. Zhong Fu came to his senses and turned to look at a maid who was wearing a green shirt and dress, holding a thin strip of veiled umbrella in her right hand. Her fair face was full of entanglement, and she looked like she wanted to speak but stopped. She seemed to be afraid of being blamed and scolded by her master.
"knew."
Zhong Ziyi stood up in a gesture, and soon two young maids walked from behind, gently holding his elbows left and right, and heading towards the carriage farther away. The two strong servants stood apart, and when Zhong Ziyi sat down, they lifted their carriage steadily and headed towards the manor lined up behind.
Zhong Ziyi sat on his shoulder carriage. In front of him were two strong men carrying swords and walking forward to the road. There were maids holding umbrellas beside him to shade. In the back, four maids were following each holding incense, feather fan soup and other soups. On this country road, it was very eye-catching.
Occasionally, when I encounter pedestrians, they all stay away from the road and hide in the dust. They wait until the pedestrians walk away before they dare to get up.
"What a evil era."
Zhong Feng was enjoying such respectful treatment and felt a little uncomfortable. He recalled in his mind that when he woke up, he called out a few times because of his thirst. The maid of Shi Tang was careless and was driven down and punished. He never saw it again. Shi Feng was like this, but it filled the soul of a modern person with a sense of guilt.
After sorting out the remaining memories of this body and his experiences over the past few days, Zhong Meng has roughly clarified the environment he is in.
This year was the fifth year of Jingyuan. Cao Mao, the Gaogui Township Duke of Cao Wei, had been five years. Cao Mao was smart and studious, and was very smart and smart. In the fifth year of Zhengshi, he was named Gaogui Township Duke.
In the fifth year of Jiaping, after the General Sima Shi abolished King Cao Fang of Qi, he supported Cao Mao as the emperor, with the reign of Zhengyuan.
Cao Mao was civil and military, and admired Shaokang. He was dissatisfied with the Sima family's autocracy and rule. In the fifth year of Ganlu, he personally attacked Sima Zhao and was killed by the prince's son Cheng Ji. He was only nineteen years old. He was buried in the northwest of Luocheng with a king's ceremony. Later, Cao Huan was supported and ascended the throne and changed the reign of Jingyuan. This was also the ninth year of the Cao Wei regime.
If there is no accident, Cao Huan will be forced to abdicate the throne to Sima this year or next year.
I only have a little understanding of the history of the rebellion between the Wei and Jin Dynasties in my previous life. Not many people pay attention to this history, and he doesn't often see it when he watches short videos or headlines.
On the contrary, I knew that there were not many years since then that the Sima family’s royal family had gained power. The Eight Kings Rebellion made the people suffer from misery and directly led to the Five Barbarians’ Invasion of China.
Then the people in power patted their butts and went south, shamelessly continuing to be the white-board emperor, creating the so-called "king and horse sharing the world", sitting and watching the land of the Central Plains being trampled on by the barbarians, the people being slaughtered and killed, and there are endless stories of tragedy on earth.
People from later generations sighed when they saw this history. This is the most dimest and miserable tragic song of the Han Dynasty inherited for five thousand years. Everyone eats each other, with white bones everywhere, without fireworks for thousands of miles, and without a crown and belt in China!
Anyone with one or two blood is heartbroken by this, and wishes to be able to eat the meat of the barbarians in hunger, and laugh at the thirst and drink the blood of the Huns!
The same is true for Zhong Qian. After understanding the era he was in, his heart was surging for a long time. He wished he could immediately join the army and kill a Erhu man with his hand to vent his anger.
But he is only thirteen years old this year and is just recovering from a serious illness. These thoughts are only rumbling in his mind and cannot be put into reality. Moreover, after learning about his current identity, he felt even more desperate.
Nowadays, Zhong Wei's identity is a child of the Zhong family in Yingchuan. "Records of the Grand Historian" records: "In the spring of the fourth year, the gods descended to the capital with phoenixes and nectar, and several counties and states were gathered, especially Yingchuan."
Yingchuan was full of beauty and natural beauty, and naturally became a fertile ground for nurturing outstanding children, creating many great families, including the crown clan and the famous surname. At that time, there were 95 famous wealthy families in Guandong, of which Yingchuan County occupied thirteen, and it was the county with the most concentrated wealthy families.
These wealthy families are: the Guan family of Yingyin, the Xue family of Yangdi, the Hou family of Hou family, the Zhu family of Yue family, the Li family of Guo family, the Wang family of Yingyang, the Han family of Yao family of Wuyang, the Zhong family of Changshe, the Jiazang family of Shen family.
Among them are the Chen family, Zhong family, Lai family, Gan family, and Wu family named Yingchuan County, Chen family, Zhong family, Han family, and Xun family are known as the four prominent families of Yingchuan Changshe; these famous families have emerged a large number of Zongxian and Mingyan, who have been famous in history; Zhong Hao, Chen Shi, Xun Shu, and Han Shao are the most famous figures in the same county in the Han Dynasty, known as Yingchuan Four Chiefs, and are famous for their noble and virtuousness. "It is said that Xun Shu was the chief of Dangtu, Han Shao was the chief of Ying, Chen Shi was the chief of Taiqiu, Zhong Hao was the chief of Lin Lu, and Shu and others are all from Yingchuan."
The Zhong family of Yingchuan was deeply involved in the rise and replacement of the dynasty. When they entered, the three dukes were introduced, and when they left, they were promoted to Fang Bo, and both civil and military. The so-called "big Zhong" in the calligraphy masterpiece in later generations means that Zhong Yao of Yingchuan served as the Tingwei, Taiwei, Taifu and other positions, and was successively granted the title of Marquis of Dingling. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Wei, he was also appointed as the Three Dukes with Hua Xin and Wang Lang...
By traveling through time and seeing and receiving respect and treatment, we can see the prosperity of the Zhong family in Yingchuan.
Other time travelers are either poor families or concubines, and even more pitiful. They have a son-in-law who betrays his ancestors. Their status is humble and sad. However, Zhong Shi is in such a powerful gentry and is also a direct descendant. With the advantage of time travelers being foresighted, Zhong Shi's capital is strong, and even if they do not have a system to accompany them, they are destined to have a bright future.
However, if you have to die, you will die in this "direct lineage of the extrinsic branch". Lao Tzu, who was born in this life, was named Zhong Yu. He inherited the title of Marquis of Dingling and became the governor of Qingzhou and later general. However, he had passed away last year. After his death, he was awarded the title of General of Cheqi and Cavalry in the court and was posthumously named Marquis Hui, which shows his respect.
That's all, the head of the Zong family is what Zhong Hui is most worried about. It is called Zhong Hui, and he is the most popular figure among the scholars in Yingchuan today.
Zhong Hui was talented and proficient in metaphysics. Since he was young, he has served in important positions and has been highly appreciated by the Emperor of Wei and his ministers.
He also followed Sima Shi to fight against Wu Qiu Jian, and was secretly informed. He once offered advice to Sima Zhao to crush Cao Mao's attempt to seize power. He also followed the army to quell Zhuge Dan's rebellion and made many strange plans. People at that time compared them to Zhang Liang, and were appointed as the Sili lieutenant, who was able to interfere in the affairs of the court and the appointment and removal of officials.
He even supported Sima Zhao's plan to attack Han, and was appointed as the general of Zhenxi. He was appointed as the governor of the military affairs of Guanzhong during the holidays and presided over the attack on Han.
Such a family background is simply the best match among time travelers. If you want money and people, you need someone. You are born to be beaten and blessed with brainless supporting roles who have all the experiences by those "protagonists"!
However, the current situation is very beautiful and the future is very bleak. As the saying goes, you will not die if you don’t commit suicide. What’s wrong with his cheap uncle doing, but he insists on rebelling!
He was not very familiar with this history, but Zhong Qian knew that his uncle was going to rebel in the end. The memory he had accidentally seen reminded him of his identity three days ago.
Zhong Fan knew not much, and based on the information he had found out now, that is, in the early years of Jingyuan, Sima Zhao repeatedly harassed the border with Jiang Wei, a general of Shu Han. He thought that their territory was small, the people were exhausted, and their financial resources were about to be exhausted, so he wanted to send a large army to attack Shu.
All the ministers said that it was not feasible, but Zhong Hui said that Shu Han could be captured. So, they planned and investigated the terrain with Sima Zhao in advance, and discussed the situation.
In the third year of Jingyuan, Zhong Hui was granted the title of General Zhenxi, and was the commander of the military in Guanzhong.
In the autumn of the fourth year of Jingyuan, the Wei Kingdom raised troops to attack Shu Han and ordered Deng Ai to lead more than 30,000 people to Gansong, and to restrain Jiang Wei in Dazhong. Zhuge Xu led more than 30,000 people to Wujie, Qiaotou and other places to cut off Jiang Wei's retreat.
Zhong Hui led more than 100,000 troops to the main general and advanced from Xiegu and Luogu respectively. Zhong Hui ordered the goalkeeper Xu Yi to build a road in front and lead a large army to follow him.
When crossing the bridge, the horse's hooves fell into a pit. Zhong Hui beheaded Xu Yi regardless of the contributions made by Xu Yi's father Xu Chu. When the army heard about it, they were all frightened and afraid.
At that time, Shu Han ordered all the defensive strongholds not to fight, retreat to Han, and defend the two cities of Le. Zhong Hui asked the guardian Xun Kai and the former general Li Fu to command ten thousand people, and surrounded Seoul and Lecheng respectively. Zhong Hui went west to Yang'ankou and sent people to worship Zhuge Liang's tomb, and ordered soldiers not to shed horses and chop firewood near his tomb.
Zhong Hui sent the guard Hu Lie and others to walk in front, break through Guancheng, and get the food stored there. Jiang Wei retreated from Dazhong, marched to Yinping, and shook Zhuge Xu, who was about to break the retreat of the Shu army. He gathered his troops and wanted to kill him back to Guancheng, but before he arrived, he heard that Guancheng fell, so he retreated to Baishui and together with Zhang Yi and Liao Hua, defending Jiange against Zhonghui.
Zhong Hui issued a notice to "Edict to Move Generals, Officials, Soldiers and People in Shu" to persuade the soldiers and civilians to surrender; Deng Ai pursued Jiang Wei until Yinping, wanted to bypass Jiange, enter Jiangyou from Han Deyang, and left Dan Road, arrive in Mianzhu, and approach Chengdu.
He invited Zhuge Xu to walk on the Yinping Road together. Zhuge Xu rejected Deng Ai on the grounds that he did not receive the order to move west, marched into Baishui, and met with Zhong Hui.
Zhong Hui sent Tian Zhang and others to go straight out of Jiangyou from the southwest of Jiange; less than a hundred miles of march, Tian Zhang first captured the three ambush camps of Shu Han. Deng Ai asked Tian Zhang to be the vanguard and drove straight in. Zhong Hui and Zhuge Xu's troops headed straight to Jiange.
However, Zhong Hui wanted to monopolize military power and secretly reported that Zhuge Xu was afraid of going forward, so he took him into a prison cart and transported him back to the capital. In this way, the army was led by Zhong Hui.
The Shu Han army occupied the natural dangerous terrain and defended Jiange to the death. Zhong Hui's army attacked Jiange but did not capture it. In October of the winter, Sima Zhao was already awarded the title of Duke of Jin and was given the title of Duke of Jin for frequent victory on various fronts.
The Wei army failed to overcome difficulties and the distance to transport grain was long, so Zhong Hui began to discuss withdrawal.
At this time, Deng Ai succeeded in the surprise attack and led his army to attack Mianzhu and kill Zhuge Zhan and his son. Jiang Wei and others heard that Zhuge Zhan had been defeated, so they led their subordinates to the east toward Bajun.
Zhong Hui immediately led a large army to Fu County, and at the same time sent Hu Lie, Tian Xu, Pang Hui and others to chase Jiang Wei.
Deng Ai led his troops to Chengdu, Liu Chan led his people to surrender, and Shu Han officially perished; Liu Chan sent someone to order Jiang Wei to surrender to Zhong Hui, Jiang Wei went to Guanghan County, gave his talisman to Hu Lie, and surrendered from the host road to Zhong Hui.
Zhong Hui ordered that the soldiers be banned from looting and respecting the virtuous and humble officials to appease the officials in Shu. He also made friends with Jiang Bin and Jiang Xian, and had a great time with Jiang Wei.
On December 24, the court issued an edict, for the contribution of attacking Shu, he appointed Zhong Hui as Situ (one of the three dukes), and also granted the county marquis with a fief of ten thousand households. His two sons were granted the title of Ting Hou and a fief of thousands of households.
After pacifying Shu, Zhong had the intention to rebel. The only thing he feared was Deng Ai. At the same time, Deng Ai was proud of his contributions and was dedicated to the system. Zhong Hui secretly said that Deng Ai had a rebellion.
At the same time, Wei Guan, Hu Lie, Shi Zhuan and others also wrote a letter saying that Deng Ai had acted rebelliously. On the first day of the first lunar month, the court ordered a prison car to escort Deng Ai back to Beijing. Sima Zhao was worried that Deng Ai would not accept the order and ordered Zhong Hui to march into Chengdu. Wei Guan, the military supervisor, fought against the front line, and took Sima Zhao's handwritten letter to escort Deng Ai into the prison car.
When Deng Ai was taken over, Zhong Hui immediately rushed to Chengdu and led a large army to shock the Western land. He thought he was extremely famous and unwilling to be inferior to others. In addition, the powerful generals and elite soldiers were controlled by him, so he raised his troops to rebel.
Zhong Hui planned to send Jiang Wei to lead Shu troops out of Xigu to occupy Chang'an, and then send cavalry to seize the world by land and infantry by water.
Zhong Hui received a letter from Sima Zhao and said, "I am worried that Deng Ai will not accept the order. Now I will send Jia Chong, a central guard, to lead more than 10,000 infantry and cavalrymen into the Xigu, and stationed in Lecheng. I personally led a hundred thousand troops to Chang'an, and we will meet soon."
After getting the letter, Zhong Hui was shocked and said to his confidant: "Just arresting Deng Ai, the Prime Minister knew that I could do it alone. He led a large army and found something strange. We should set out quickly. If it goes well, we can get the world; if it doesn't go well, we can also return to Shu to learn from Liu Bei's sidelines. Since the Battle of Huainan, I have never made any mistakes and have become famous far and wide. How can I have a good destination for such a great success or honor?"
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhong Hui first sent Deng Ai away. On the 16th, he summoned soldiers from the guards, county magistrates, Yamen cavalry and old officials of Shu Kingdom to mourn Empress Guo in the Shu Kingdom court. He also raised an army to depose Sima Zhao with her order. Zhong Hui asked the soldiers to write consent on the board as a certificate and appointed a confidant to lead various armies.
But the Wei generals did not follow; so Zhong Hui locked them all in the governments of Yizhou and sent troops to guard them strictly.
Zhong Youyou had a respected subordinate named Qiu Jian, who was a former subordinate of Hu Lie. He told Zhong Hui: A confidant should be sent to bring food and water to Hu Lie, and the goalkeeper of Zhuya should also prepare a servant as usual.
Hu Lie took the opportunity to fabricate a lie and said that Zhong Hui had dug a big hole and wanted to kill the generals one by one and bury them in the pit." The personal soldiers of the goalkeepers also passed on the rumor word by word, and everyone heard it overnight, and people's hearts were floating.
Someone suggested to Zhong Hui: "All officials above Yamen Cavalry should be killed." Zhong Hui hesitated.
At noon on the 18th, Hu Lie's subordinates and Hu Lie's son went out to beat drums, and no one led the soldiers from all walks of life rushed to the city gate. At that time, Zhong Hui had just given Jiang Wei the armor and weapons. When he heard that there were soldiers outside, Zhong Hui asked Jiang Wei what to do. Jiang Wei said: "But you should attack him."
On the 18th day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Jingyuan, Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei died in a mutiny at the age of forty.
After Zhong Hui died, the Wei army was left unrestrained. For several days, the Shu army had lost money and died in a mess. Hundreds of soldiers under Zhong Hui's tent were killed.
Jiang Wei's wife and children were all killed; Zhang Yi, the former left-hand cavalry general of Shu Han, Jiang Bin, the Seoul guardian Jiang Xian, the Grand Secretary Wei Ji and others were also killed by the rioters.
Guan Yu's family was destroyed by Pang Dezi Pang Hui. Deng Ai's subordinates caught up with the prison car and wanted to welcome Deng Ai back. Wei Guan instructed Tian Xu to kill Deng Ai and his son, and Shi Zan and others were also killed.
Because Deng Ai was convicted of treason, Deng Ai's sons in Luoyang were also killed. His wife and grandsons were exiled to Xicheng, and his guard Guan restrained the generals. The Chengdu rebellion was quelled.
Zhong Hui had not married his wife and adopted brother and two sons. Zhong Yong followed Zhong Hui to cause trouble and was killed together. The adopted son Zhong Yi, nephew Zhong Jun and Zhong Qi were also imprisoned and should be considered as a death sentence.
Sima Zhao issued an edict on behalf of Emperor Cao Huan of Wei, saying that he only executed Zhong Yi and Zhong Yong's sons, pardoned Zhong Jun and Zhong Fu, and those who had official titles remained the same.
What Zhong Wei knew about this history was not very clear, but he knew that Zhong Hui and Deng Ai were killed, and that Shu Han had perpetuated. He only occasionally saw Jiang Wei being killed, and then learned about it, and knew the end of this clan, so he was frightened.
