However, Sima Zhao said to the Western Cao Cao official Shao Ti, "The court officials all said that Shu was not able to be attacked, which is his heart timid; if he was forced to fight, he would definitely be defeated. Now Zhong Hui built a strategy to attack Shu, which is not afraid; if he was not afraid, he would definitely destroy Shu. Once Shu was destroyed, the courage of Shu people had broken down; the generals of the defeated army could not be brave; the officials of the destroyed country could not be survived. If Hui had a different ambition, how could Shu people help him? If the Wei people were victorious and thought about returning, they would not follow the Hui and rebelled, and there was no need to worry about this. I know this and must not leak it." Shao Ti was convinced.

But Zhong Hui had finished his camp and promoted him to the tent and all the generals followed the order. At that time, there were more than 80 people including the military supervisor, the guards, the guards, the generals Tian Xu, Pang Hui, Tian Zhang, Yuanqing, Qiu Jian, Xiahou Xian, Wang Mai, Huangfu Kai, Ju'an, etc. Hui said, "A general must be the vanguard. When he meets mountains, he will be crossed bridges. Who dares to take it?" One person responded and said, "I want to go." Hui looked at him, and it was Xu Yi, the son of the tiger general Xu Chu. Everyone said, "This person must not be the vanguard." Hui called Xu

Yi said, "You are the general of the tiger-body ape ban. The father and son are famous. Now all the generals are also protecting you. You can hang the vanguard seal, lead the army of five thousand horses and one thousand infantry, and take Hanzhong directly. The troops are divided into three routes: You lead the middle road and exit the silence valley; the left army goes out of Luogu; and the right army comes out of Ziwu Valley. These are all rugged and dangerous places. Today's army fills the road, repairs bridges, and digs mountains and breaks stones, and do not obstruct it. If you violate the law, you must follow the military law." Xu Yi was ordered to lead the troops and advance. Zhong Hui then raised more than 100,000 people and set off at night.

However, Deng Ai was in Longxi and was ordered to attack Shu. On the other hand, Sima Wang looked over to the people of Zhuge Xu, and sent Yongzhou Governor Zhuge Xu, Tianshui Prefect Wang Qi, Longxi Prefect Qian Hong, and Jincheng Prefect Yang Xin, each of them dispatched troops from their headquarters to obey the order. When Ma Yun gathered, Deng Ai had a dream at night: I dreamed of climbing a high mountain and looking at Hanzhong. Suddenly a spring burst out from under my feet, and the water surged up. After a moment of shock, I was sweating all over my body. So I sat and waited for the dawn, so I called the guard Yuan Shao to ask him. Shao Suming's "Book of Changes", and Ai Bei said his dream, and Shao replied: "There is water on the mountain and is called Jian. The hexagram is: 'It is beneficial to the southwest, not to the northeast.' Confucius said: 'It is beneficial to the southwest, and it is not beneficial to the northeast, and the way is exhausted.' The general's journey will inevitably defeat Shu; but unfortunately, it is a pity that the clan cannot return." Ai was unhappy when he heard this. Suddenly, Zhong Hui's proclamation arrived and asked Ai to get up

The soldiers were captured by Qi in Hanzhong. Ai then sent Zhuge Xu, the governor of Yongzhou, to lead 15,000 troops, first cut off Jiang Wei's way back; then sent Wang Qi, the prefect of Tianshui, to lead 15,000 troops, to attack Dazhong from the left; Qian Hong, the prefect of Longxi, to lead 15,000 troops, to attack Dazhong from the right; Yang Xin, the prefect of Jincheng, to recruit 15,000 troops, to invite Jiang Wei, to recruit Jiang Wei. Ai led 30,000 troops, to meet him. However, when Zhong Hui left the army, he said that

, A hundred officials sent them out of the city, with flags covering the sun, armor condensed with frost, strong people and strong horses, and majestic. Everyone envied, but Liu Wei, the Prime Minister, smiled and said nothing. Seeing that Wang Xiang sneered, he immediately shook his hand and asked, "Chong and Deng, can we pacify Shu?" Yu said, "It is necessary to break Shu. But I am afraid that they will not be able to return to the capital." Wang Xiang asked why, but Liu Wei smiled but did not answer. Xiang then stopped asking.

However, after the Wei army was launched, he had already made a detailed report to Jiang Wei. Wei immediately submitted a report to the post of the post: "Please issue an edict to send Zhang Yi, the general of the left cavalry, to lead troops to guard Yang'an Pass, and Liao Hua, the general of the right cavalry, to lead troops to guard Yinping Bridge: These two places are the most important. If two places are lost, Hanzhong will be in danger. On the one hand, you should send envoys to Wu for help. On the other hand, I will raise the troops from Dazhong to resist the enemy." At that time, the post of the post changed the sixth year of Jingyao to the first year of Yanxing, and the eunuch Huang Hao was having fun in the palace. Suddenly, he received Jiang Wei's letter and summoned Huang Hao to ask, "Now the Wei Kingdom sent a Zhonghui, Deng Ai raised his troops and horses.

, come in different ways, what if he does?" Hao replied, "This is Jiang Wei's desire to establish a fame, so he said this. Your Majesty is content with mercy and not to be suspicious. I heard that there is a Master in the city who worships a god and can know the good or bad luck. You can call him to ask him." The Lord of the Later, he followed his words and set up incense, flowers, paper and candles in the back hall to enjoy the sacrifice gifts. He asked Huang Hao to invite him into the palace in a small cart and sit on the dragon bed. After burning incense and praying for him, Master of the Later, he suddenly put his hair on his feet, jumped dozens of times on the hall, and circled on the table. Hao said, "This God has surrendered. Your Majesty can retreat and pray to him in person."

The Later Lord retreated all his servants and wished him again. The Shi Po shouted, "I am the god of Xichuan. Your Majesty is happy to be peaceful, why do you ask about other things? A few years later, the territory of Wei will also be your Majesty. Your Majesty must not worry." After saying that, he fainted on the ground and for a while. The Later Lord was very happy and rewarded him more. Since then, he believed in Shi Po's words, so he did not listen to Jiang Wei's words and only drank and had fun in the palace every day. Jiang Weilei's urgent statements were hidden by Huang Hao, so he missed the major affairs. However, he said to Zhong Hui's army and looked forward to Hanzhong. Xu Yi, the vanguard of the front army, wanted to make his first contribution and lead his troops to Nanzheng Pass first. Yi said to his generals, "I will pass this pass and will be Hanzhong. There are not many people on the pass, so we can fight for the pass." The generals took the order and moved forward together. It turned out that Lu Xun, the general guarding the pass, had known that the Wei soldiers would arrive.

Before the wooden bridge in front of the pass, the soldiers were bent down and equipped with ten arrows and crossbows left by Wuhou. When Xu Yi's army came to grab the pass, the arrows and stones were like rain. When Yi retreated quickly, he shot dozens of cavalry. The Wei soldiers were defeated. Yi returned to Zhong Hui. Hui picked up more than a hundred cavalry under the tent. Sure enough, the crossbows shot down at the same time. Hui drove the horse back and led 500 troops to kill him. Hui slapped the horses across the bridge, and the soil collapsed on the bridge, and the horse hooves were trapped, and some were fighting to lift the horses off. The horse could not afford to fight, so he abandoned the horses and walked; when he ran off the bridge, Lu Xun caught up and stabbed him with a shot, but Xun Kai turned around and shot Lu Xun fell off the horses. Zhong Hui led his people to seize the opportunity to grab the pass. Because Shu soldiers were in front of the pass, they did not dare to shoot arrows, and Zhong Hui killed them and seized the mountain pass. Xun Kai was given the guardian and gave him a full pair of saddle horse armor.

Hui called Xu Yi to the tent and scolded him, "You are the pioneer, and you are a pioneer, and you are a good idea to open the road when you meet mountains and cross the bridges. You will focus on the bridge and roads so that you can march. I just arrived on the bridge and fell into the horse's hooves and almost fell into the bridge. If it weren't for Xun Kai, I would have been killed! Since you violated the military order, you should follow the military law!" He scolded the left and right and pushed him out and beheaded him. The generals told him, "The father Xu Chu has made contributions to the court, and I hope the governor will forgive him." Hui said angrily, "The military law is unclear, why should I order the crowd?" He ordered the beheadings to be shown to the public. All the generals were shocked. At that time, the generals Wang Han guarded Lecheng.

Jiang Bin guarded the city of Seoul. Seeing that the Wei soldiers were in great power, he did not dare to go out to fight, so he just kept his guard. Zhong Hui ordered: "The army is fast and must be stopped at a loss." He ordered the front army Li Fu to surround Lecheng, and the guard Xun Kai to surround Hancheng, and led the army to seize Yang'an Pass. Fu Qian, the general guarding the city of Shu, discussed the strategy of fighting and defending. Shu said: "There are many Wei soldiers, and the situation is not enough to be the best." Qian said: "Otherwise, the Wei soldiers will come from afar and will inevitably be exhausted, and even if there are many, it is not enough to be afraid. If we do not go down to the pass, the two cities of Le will be closed." Jiang Shu silently refused to answer

Suddenly, the Wei army brigade had arrived in front of the pass, and Jiang and Fu looked at him. Zhong Hui raised his whip and shouted, "I am now 100,000 people here. If I am going to surrender early, each will be promoted according to the level; if I am obsessed with surrendering, breaking the pass, and the jade and stones will be burned!" Fu Qian was furious and ordered Jiang Shu to check in, and he led three thousand soldiers to kill Xiaguan. Zhong Hui left, and all the Wei soldiers retreated. All the Wei soldiers took the opportunity to chase him, and the Wei soldiers reunited. When they all wanted to retreat into the pass, the Wei family had already raised the flag on the pass, and Jiang Shu shouted, "I have surrendered to Wei!" All the soldiers were furious and scolded sternly

He said, "How can the thief who is ungrateful and unfaithful, see the people of the world?" He turned back and fought with the Wei soldiers. The Wei soldiers came together from all sides and surrounded Fu Qian in Gai. All rushed left and right, fought back and forth, but could not escape. The Shu soldiers he led were ten wounds. All looked up to the sky and sighed, "I was a minister of Shu, and I should be a ghost of Shu when I died!" He then slapped the horse and rushed over, and was covered in blood. He sat down on the horse and fell down, and all died. Later generations sighed, "One day, I expressed my loyalty and anger, and I admired my reputation for being a master of Fu Qian, but I would rather die than Jiang Shusheng."

Zhong Hui got Yang'an Pass. He had a lot of food and grass in the pass. He was very happy and rewarded the three armies. That night, the Wei soldiers stayed in Yang'an City. Suddenly, he heard a loud shout from the southwest. Zhong Hui hurriedly went out of the tent to look at it, and there was no movement. The Wei army did not dare to sleep all night. The next night, the shouting from the southwest rose again. Zhong Hui was shocked and suspicious, and asked someone to explore it. He replied, "There is no one in the distance for more than ten miles." Hui was shocked and suspicious, so he led hundreds of cavalry, all of whom were wearing habits, and looked at the southwest patrol. When he arrived at a mountain, he saw murderous aura protruding from all sides, with clouds of sorrow and fog locked on the mountain. Hui strangled the horse and asked the guide, "What is this mountain?" He replied, "

This is Dingjun Mountain, where Xiahou Yuan died in the past." Hui heard this, and was sad and unhappy, so he pulled his horse back. Turning over the hillside, suddenly a strong wind broke out, and thousands of cavalry behind him came to fight with the wind. Hui was shocked and led everyone to ride horses and walk. There were countless generals who fell off their horses. When they rushed to Yang'an Pass, they did not break a man or a horse, but only lost their faces and lost their helmets. They all said, "But I saw people and horses coming from the clouds, but they did not hurt people, just a whirlwind." Hui asked the surrendered general Jiang Shu and said, "Is there a temple in Dingjun Mountain?" Shu said, "There is no temple, but the tomb of Zhuge Wuhou." Hui said, "This must be Wuhou Wuhou."

It is a saint. I should go to sacrifice him in person." The next day, Zhong Hui prepared a sacrifice ceremony. Zai Tailao, and went to the tomb of Wuhou to pay homage to the sacrifice again. After the sacrifice, the wind storms suddenly scattered, and the clouds scattered. Suddenly, the breeze swelled and drizzled. After a while, the sky was clear. The Wei soldiers were very happy and all thanked him. That night, Zhong Hui lay a few times in the tent and slept. Suddenly, a gust of breeze passed by. I saw a man, with a feather fan, a crane flap, a plain walking and soap ribbon, a face like a crown of jade, a lips like red eyebrows, a clear eyes, and an eight-foot-long body, a floating appearance as a god. The man walked into the tent and stood up to greet him and said, "Who is it?" The man said, "I am here to see Gu this morning.

There was a few words to tell me: Although the Han Dynasty had declined and the destiny was difficult to violate, but the creatures in the two rivers were killed by war and were really pitiful. After you entered the country, don’t kill animals.” After you finished speaking, you turned your sleeves away. Hui wanted to keep him, but suddenly woke up. It was a dream. Hui knew that it was the spirit of Wuhou, and was surprised. So he ordered the front army to set up a white flag and wrote the four words "Protect the country and the people"; wherever you go, it would be like killing someone who would pay for his life. So the people of Hanzhong all went out of the city to greet him. Hui comforted him one by one, without any offense. Later generations praised him: "Ten thousand Yin soldiers surrounded the Ding Army, and ordered Zhong Hui to worship the Spirit God. Life could make decisions and support the Liu family, but his last words were still to protect the Shu people."

However, Jiang Wei was in Dazhong. He heard that the Wei soldiers were coming, and sent an edict to Liao Hua, Zhang Yi and Dong Jue to support him. On the other hand, he divided his troops and generals to wait for him. Suddenly, the Wei soldiers arrived, and Wei led his troops to welcome him. The general in the Wei formation was Wang Qi, the prefect of Tianshui. Qi went out and shouted, "I have a million soldiers now, and a thousand generals, and they have advanced in twenty directions. He has arrived in Chengdu. You don't think about surrendering early, but you still want to resist, so why don't you know the will of heaven?" Wei was furious and pushed his guns and rode his horse straight to Wang Qi. The battle was not three times, and Qi was defeated and left. Jiang Wei drove the troops to chase him for twenty miles, and only heard the sound of golden drums, and a soldier was set up, and the words "Longxi Prefect Qian Hong" were written on the flag. Wei laughed and said, "This is it."

Rats are not my enemy!" So he urged his troops to chase him. He rushed to ten miles, but met Deng Ai's army fighting. The two armies fought in a melee. Wei cheered up and fought with Ai for more than ten matches. There was no victory or defeat. The drums and drums behind him sounded again. When Wei retreated quickly, the rear army reported: "The villages of Gan Song were all burned by Yang Xin, the prefect of Jincheng." Wei was shocked and ordered the deputy general to set up a banner and resist Deng Ai. Wei withdrew from the rear army and came to rescue Gan Song at night. He met Yang Xin. Xin did not dare to fight and walked on the mountain road. Wei then rushed to the bottom of the mountain rock. The wood and stones on the rock were like rain, and Wei could not move forward. Halfway back, the Shu soldiers had been defeated by Deng Ai. The Wei army came and surrounded Jiang Wei.

Wei led all the cavalry out of the siege and rushed into the Dazhai to stand firm to wait for the reinforcements. Suddenly, the meteor horse arrived and reported: "Zhong Hui broke through Yang'an Pass, the guard general Jiang Shu surrendered, Fu Qian died in battle, and Hanzhong was already under Wei. The guard general Wang Han and the guard general Jiang Bin of the Hancheng knew that Hanzhong had lost, so he also opened the door and surrendered. Hu Ji could not resist the enemy and fled back to Chengdu to seek help." Wei was shocked and immediately ordered the camp to be pulled.

At that time, the army arrived at Jiangchuankou, and a army was set up in front. The leader of Wei was Yang Xin, the prefect of Jincheng. Wei was furious and rode his horse to fight. After only one round, Yang Xin was defeated and left. Wei picked up a bow and shot three arrows in a row. Wei failed to hit the target. Wei turned angry and broke his bow and rushed forward. The horse was lost, and Wei fell to the ground. Yang Xin turned back to kill Jiang Wei. Wei jumped up and stabbed him with a shot, hitting Yang Xin's horse's head. The Wei soldiers behind him suddenly arrived and rescued Xin. Wei rode on the horse and wanted to wait for the pursuit, but suddenly reported that Deng Ai's troops arrived behind him. Wei's head suddenly arrived. Wei's horse was on the horse and wanted to wait for the time to chase him.

The tail could not look at each other, so he withdrew his troops to seize Hanzhong. The shouma reported that, "Zhuge Xu, the governor of Yongzhou, had cut off his way back." Wei then occupied the mountain and went down to the camp. Wei soldiers stationed at the Yinping Bridge. Wei had no way to advance and retreat, and sighed, "Heaven is the sky that I am!" Deputy General Ning Sui said, "Although the Wei soldiers broke the Yinping Bridge, Yongzhou must have few soldiers. If the general follows Konghan Valley and takes Yongzhou directly, Zhuge Xu will withdraw Yinping's troops to rescue Yongzhou. The general leads troops to Jiange to guard it, and then Hanzhong can be restored." Wei followed him and sent troops into Konghan Valley, deceiving him.

Take Yongzhou and report to Zhuge Xu in detail. Xu was shocked and said, "Yongzhou is the place where I am guarding. If there is any mistake, the court will be punished." He quickly withdrew the troops from the south to rescue Yongzhou, leaving only one soldier to guard the bridgehead. Jiang Wei entered the north road and walked about thirty miles. He expected that the Wei soldiers had set off, so he ordered the troops to return. The back team was in front and went straight to the bridgehead. Sure enough, the Wei soldiers had left, and only some soldiers killed the bridge and burned the village. Zhuge Xu heard that the bridgehead was on fire, so he led his troops back. Jiang Wei's army had been in full swing.

Therefore, he did not dare to chase after him. However, Jiang Wei led his troops across the bridge. While he was walking, an army ahead came. The left general Zhang Yi and the right general Liao Hua were also asked. Wei said, "Huang Hao listened to the words of the master and wu, and refused to send troops. Yi heard that Hanzhong was in danger and had risen up. At that time, Yang'an Pass had been taken by Zhong Hui. Now he heard that the general was trapped, so he came to take him back." So he joined forces and went to Baishui Pass. Hua said, "Now that he was surrounded by enemies and the food route is blocked, so it is better to retreat to Jiange and make good plans." Wei's doubts were not resolved.

Suddenly, Zhonghui was reported, and Deng Ai divided his troops to attack more than ten routes. Wei wanted to join Yi, but Hua divided his troops to welcome him. Hua said, "There are many narrow roads in Baishui, which are not a place for battle. It is better to retreat to save Jiange. If Jiange loses, it will be a dead end." Wei followed him and then led his troops to attack Jiange. When he approached the pass, the drums and horns suddenly sounded, shouting loudly, flags were everywhere, and a army held the pass.
Chapter completed!
