Chapter 17: Deng Shizai Survive Yinping, Zhuge Zhan Died in Mianzhu
However, Dong Jue, the general of the auxiliary country, heard that more than ten routes of Wei soldiers entered the country, so he led 20,000 troops to defend Jiange. On that day, he looked up, and suspected that it was Wei soldiers, so he quickly led the army to seize the pass. Dong Jue looked forward from the front of the army, and it was Jiang Wei, Liao Hua, and Zhang Yi. Jue was very happy and went to the pass. After the ceremony, he cried and told the matter of the Later Lord Huang Hao. Wei said, "Don't worry. If Wei is here, you will not allow Wei to swallow Shu. Let's guard Jiange, and Xu Tu's plan to retreat to the enemy." Jue said, "This is it."
Although the pass can be defended, there will be no one in Chengdu; if it is attacked by the enemy, the general situation will collapse." Wei said, "Chengdu Mountain is dangerous and steep, and it cannot be easily taken, so there is no need to worry." In the right words, Zhuge Xu suddenly reported that he led his troops to kill the pass. Wei was furious and rushed to Xiaguan, crashed into the Wei formation, rushed left and right, killing Zhuge Xu and left and left, retreated dozens of miles to the camp, and countless Wei soldiers died. The Shu soldiers robbed many horses and equipment, and Wei retreated back to the pass.
But Zhong Hui left Jiange and set up a camp twenty miles away, Zhuge Xu came to conceal his crime. Hui said angrily, "I ordered you to guard the bridge to ping the bridge to cut off Jiang Wei's way back. How could you lose it? Now I am not allowed to order my order, so I advance troops without authorization, which led to defeat!" Xu said, "We are full of tricks and tricked to take Yongzhou. Xu is afraid that Yongzhou will be in trouble, so he leads troops to rescue him. Wei takes the opportunity to escape. Xu rushed to the gate, but he did not want to be defeated again." Hui was furious and ordered the order to be executed. The military supervisor said, "Although Xu is guilty, he is the person who was supervised by Deng Zhengxi; if he does not fight for the general to kill him, he may be injured." Hui said, "I am following the emperor's clear order, and Duke Jin is ordered to attack Shu. Even if Deng Ai is guilty, he should be executed!" Everyone advised him. Hui then took Zhuge Xu to Luoyang with a chariot and asked Duke Jin to take down the troops. Follow the troops led by Xu and were dispatched under his command.
Someone reported to Deng Ai. Ai was furious and said, "I am the same as your official rank. I have been in the border for a long time and have worked hard for the country. How dare you be arrogant and arrogant?" The son Deng Zhong advised, "If a little unbearable, he will cause chaos in the big plan. If his father is not in harmony with him, he will definitely miss the country's affairs. I hope to tolerate it." Ai followed his words. However, after all, he was angry in his heart, so he led dozens of cavalry to see Zhong Hui. When Hui heard Ai arrived, he asked his left and right: "How many troops will Ai lead?" The left and right answered, "There are only a dozen cavalry." Hui ordered hundreds of warriors in the tent.
Ai dismounted and came into the meeting. Hui followed the tent. After seeing that the army was very solemn, Ai was uneasy and said, "The general has won Hanzhong, which is a great blessing for the court. You can decide to take Jiange early." Hui said, "What do you think of the general?" Ai repeatedly said that he was incompetent. Hui asked him. Ai replied, "Please guide him to decree him from Yinping Road to Deyang Pavilion in Hanzhong and use strange troops to capture Chengdu. Jiang Wei must withdraw his troops to rescue him. The general takes advantage of the opportunity to take Jiange and get his full contribution."
Hui was overjoyed and said, "General's plan is very wonderful! You can lead the troops there immediately. I'll wait for the victory here!" The two of them drank and parted. Hui returned to the account and said to the generals, "Everyone said that Deng Ai is capable. Looking at it today, he is a mediocre talent!" Everyone asked about the reason. Hui said, "The Yinping paths are all high and steep. If more than a hundred people in Shu guard the dangerous keys and cut off the way back, Deng Ai's soldiers will all starve to death. I only walk on the right path, why worry about not breaking Shu!" So he set up a ladder and cannon stand and only hit Jiange Pass.
But Deng Ai went out of the gate to get on the horse, and looked back at the follower and said, "What is Zhong Hui treating me?" The follower said, "Look at his words, he doesn't even agree with the general's words, but just responded with his mouth." Ai smiled and said, "He expected that I could not take Chengdu, so I just wanted to take it!" When he returned to his village, Shizun, a group of soldiers of Deng Zhong asked, "What are the high opinions of Zhong Zhenxi today?" Ai said, "I tell him with the truth, and he regards mediocre talent. Now he has obtained Hanzhong, and he thinks it is a great achievement. If I hadn't tucked Jiang Wei in the middle of the tillage, how could he succeed? If I took Chengdu now, I would have won Hanzhong!" That night, I ordered all the villages to be pulled out and marched into the small road of Yinping, and settling down the village 700 miles away from Jiange. Someone reported to Zhong Hui and said, "Deng Ai is going to take Chengdu." He laughed at Ai's unwiseness.
However, Deng Ai, while preparing a secret letter, sent an envoy to report to Sima Zhao, gathered the generals under the tent and asked, "I am taking advantage of the vassal to take Chengdu and make great achievements with you. Are you willing to follow?" The generals answered, "I am willing to obey the military orders and die without any hesitation!" Ai's son Deng Zhong led five thousand elite soldiers, without any clothes and armor, each holding axes and chiseling tools. Whenever he encountered a dangerous place, he would dig up mountains and open a way, build bridges and pavilions for military travel. Ai selected 30,000 soldiers, and each brought dry food ropes. He traveled about a hundred miles and selected three thousand soldiers.
Then he set up a camp; he traveled more than a hundred miles and selected another 3,000 soldiers to go to the camp. In October of that year, the troops from Yinping advanced from the cliff canyon, and as far as the ridge was concerned, they traveled more than 20 days and more than 700 miles, all of which were deserted. The Wei soldiers set off several camps along the way, leaving only two thousand horses. They arrived at a ridge, which was called Motianling, and the horses were not worth walking. Ai walked up the ridge and saw Deng Zhong and the heroes who opened the road crying. Ai asked about the reason. The advice said: "The west of this ridge is full of steep walls and cliffs, which cannot be dug, and it is empty and the previous work is gone, so he cried." Ai asked about it.
"My army has been here for more than 700 miles. After this, it is Jiangyou. How can we retreat again?" He called the army and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can we get a tiger's son? If I come here with you, if you succeed, we will share the wealth and honor." Everyone responded, "I would like to follow the general's order." Ai Ling first carried the general's weapon and wrapped his body. He rolled down first. The deputy general had felt shirts wrapped around his body, and rolled down. Those without felt shirts each tied their waists with ropes, climbed trees and hung trees, and advanced one after another. Deng Ai, Deng Zhong, and two thousand troops
When the heroes of the mountain opened the mountain all went to Motianling. They were just rectifying their clothes and equipment and walked, and suddenly saw a stone tablet beside the Tao, engraved: "The engraved by the Prime Minister Zhuge Wuhou". The text says: "The two fires first started to rise, and someone went over here. The two scholars competed for balance and died soon." Ai Guan was shocked and hurriedly bowed to the tablet again and said: "Wuhou is a real god! Ai cannot serve him as a teacher, how regretful!" Later generations wrote a poem saying: "The ridge is flat and steep and steep, and the mysterious crane is still swaying and flying. Deng Ai wrapped the felt down from now on, but who knew that Zhuge had the opportunity."
However, Deng Ai secretly crossed Yinping and led his troops to go, and saw another big camp. He said to him, "I heard that Wu Hou was in the sun, and he had sent a thousand soldiers to guard this dangerous pass. Now the Lord of Shu Liu Chan deposed him." Ai sighed and said to everyone, "We have a way out but have no way to return! In the city of Jiangyou, there is enough food: You can move forward and die when you retreat. You must attack him with all your strength." Everyone answered, "I wish to fight to the death!"
So Deng Ai walked and led more than 2,000 people to rob Jiangyoucheng from Xingye. However, Ma Miao, the guard general of Jiangyoucheng, heard that Dongchuan had lost, and although he was preparing, he was just guarding against the main road. He also relied on Jiang Wei's entire division to guard Jiange Pass, so the general did not think that the military situation was important. On the same day, he trained people and horses to go home, and he held a furnace with his wife Li. His wife asked, "I have heard that the border was very anxious, and the general was completely worried, why?" Miao said, "Jiang Boyue has mastered the major affairs, so what's the matter?" His wife said, "Although this is the case, the city where the general is guarding is not serious." Miao said, "The emperor believed in Huang Hao and drowned in wine and sex. I expected that the disaster would not be far away.
Yes. If the Wei soldiers arrive, why should I worry about surrendering to the superior?" His wife was furious and spitted on Miao's face and said, "You are a man. First, you are unfaithful and unrighteous, and you will receive the titles and salaries of the country in vain. What is my face to meet you?" Ma Miao was ashamed and speechless. Suddenly, his family came in to report, "Wei general Deng Ai didn't know where he came from, and led more than 2,000 people to the city, and rushed into the city!" Miao was shocked and rushed to the public. He hurriedly said, "I have been determined to surrender for a long time. Now I want to recruit the residents in the city and all the troops in the headquarters to surrender." Ai approved his surrender. Then he took over Jiangyou's army and dispatched them, and immediately used Ma Miao as the guide.
Suddenly, he reported that Ma Miao had hanged himself. Ai asked about the reason, and Miao told him the truth. Ai was moved by his virtuousness and ordered him to be buried with generous gifts and went to worship him. Those in Wei sighed when they heard about it. Later generations praised him, saying, "The emperor was in a coma and the Han Dynasty was over. The heaven sent Deng Ai to take Xichuan. It was pitiful that many famous generals in Bashu were not as good as those in the Li family of Jiangyou."
Deng Ai took Jiangyou, so he took the troops from Yinping Road, all of them went to Jiangyou to capture Qi, and went straight to attack Fucheng. General Tian Xu said, "Our army came in danger, and it was very laborious. We should rest for several days before advancing." Ai was furious and said, "The army is very fast, you dare to disrupt our army's morale!" He ordered his left and right to push them out and behead them. All the generals were reluctant to let them go. Ai drove his troops to Fucheng. The officials, soldiers and civilians in the city suspected that they had fallen from the sky, and all surrendered.
The Shu people flew into Chengdu. When the emperor heard this, he summoned Huang Hao to ask him. Hao reported, "This is a false message. The gods will not miss Your Majesty." The emperor asked again, but he didn't know where to go. At this time, the article was urgent, just like snowflakes, and the messengers were constantly in contact. The emperor set up a court plan to discuss, and many officials looked at each other without saying a word. However, he was coming out to report and said, "It's urgent! Your Majesty can discuss the strategy of retreating the army by Xuanwuhou." Zhuge Zhan, the son of Wuhou, whose name was Siyuan. His mother, Huang, was the daughter of Huang Chengyan. Her mother was very ugly, and she had a genius: she was proficient in astronomy and geography. She knew everything about everything about Dunjia when Wuhou was in Nanyang. When Wuhou was in Nanyang, she heard of his wise men and asked him to be a wife. Wuhou's wife supported her many studies. After Wuhou's death, her wife passed away and died, but only encouraged her son Zhan with loyalty and filial piety. Zhan was smart since childhood, and was appointed as the daughter of the descendant and was the son-in-law. Later, she inherited the descendant's daughter. The title of Marquis of Wuxiang. In the fourth year of Jingyao, he was transferred to the general of the army to guard the army. At that time, Huang Hao was responsible for his illness, so he was unable to come out. At that time, the Later Lord followed the words of Quezheng and immediately issued three edicts to summon Zhan to His Highness. The Later Lord cried and said, "Deng Ai's army has been stationed in Fucheng, and Chengdu is in danger. Please see the face of the ancestor and save my life!" Zhan also cried and said, "My father and son are grateful to the emperor, but Your Majesty has met him very much. Even though he is heartbroken, he cannot repay you. I hope that Your Majesty will send all the soldiers from Chengdu. He went to fight to the death with his ministers." The Later Lord immediately assigned 70,000 soldiers from Chengdu to Zhan. Zhan resigned the Later Lord, rectified the army and horses, gathered the generals and asked, "Who dares to be the vanguard?" Before he finished speaking, a young general came out and said, "Since my father is in power, my son is willing to be the vanguard." Everyone looked at him, and then Zhan was the eldest son Zhuge Shang. Shang was 19 years old at the time. He read military books and practiced martial arts. Zhan was very happy and ordered Shang to be the vanguard. On that day, the army left Chengdu and came to welcome the Wei soldiers.
But Deng Ai got Ma Miao to present a map of the geographical map, and prepared to write about the 360-mile mountain and river road from Fucheng to Chengdu, which was wide, narrow and steep, and clear. After reading it, Ai was shocked and said, "If you only guard Fucheng, if you are occupied by the Shu people, how can you succeed? If you delay the war, Jiang Wei's army will arrive, and our army will be in danger." He quickly called Shi Zong and his son Deng Zhong, and said, "You can lead a army and go to Mianzhu at night to resist the Shu army. I will arrive later. Don't be slow. If he just takes the dangerous position first, he will kill your head!"
The two soldiers led their troops to Jinzhu, and they met Shu soldiers early. The two armies formed formations. The two armies arranged their horses under the gate flag. The two soldiers lined up the eight formations. After the three winter drums, the gate flag was divided into two pieces, and dozens of generals were surrounded by a four-wheeled carriage. A man was sitting upright on the chariot: Lun's feather fan, crane flap square shear. A yellow flag was spread beside the chariot, and he wrote: "Han Prime Minister Zhuge Wuhou". After the army, Deng and Deng sweated all over their bodies, and looked back at the soldiers and said, "It turns out that Kongming is still here, we will be finished!" When they were quickly ordered to return, the Shu soldiers blocked the killing of the future, and the Wei soldiers were defeated and left. After more than twenty miles of killing, he met Deng Ai's reinforcements to help him. The two families withdrew their troops. Ai took up their tents and sat down, calling Shi Zong. Deng Zhong blamed him and said, "Why are you two retreating without fighting?" Zhong said, "I just saw Zhuge Kongming leading his troops in the Shu formation, so he ran back." Ai said, "Even if Kong Ming is reborn, why am I afraid! You retreat lightly and are defeated. You should be killed quickly to the regular army!" Everyone advised him, and Ai calmly calmed down. He asked someone to whistle and quit and said that Kong Ming's son Zhuge Zhan was a general, and Zhan's son Zhuge Shang was a vanguard. The person sitting in the car was a wooden statue of Kong Ming.
When Ai heard this, he said to Shizan, and Deng Zhong said, "The opportunity for success or failure is here. If you and the other two of you do not win, you will be beheaded!"
The two soldiers led another 10,000 soldiers to fight. Zhuge Shang single-handedly, cheered up his spirits, and retreated. Zhuge Zhan commanded the two soldiers to rush out and crashed into the Wei formation. He rushed left and right, and killed dozens of times. The Wei soldiers were defeated, and countless people died. Shi Zhuan, Deng Zhong was slandered and fled. Zhan drove the soldiers and horses and then covered them for more than 20 miles and set up camp to resist. Shi Zhuan, Deng Zhong returned to see Deng Ai, and Ai saw that both of them were injured, so he did not blame him. He discussed with the generals and said, "There is Zhuge Zhan who took the father's will and killed more than 10,000 people and horses twice. If he is not quickly defeated, he will cause trouble later." The supervisor Qiu Ben said, "Why not write a book to lure him?
"Ai followed his words and wrote a letter, sent an envoy to send someone to Shu camp. The gatekeeper led him to the tent and presented him to his letter. Zhan opened the seal and looked at him. The book said: "General Deng Ai, the general of the Western Expedition, wrote a letter to Zhuge Siyuan, the general of the march and guard: Looking at the modern wise men, there are no such things as the Duke of the Duke. In the past, he had already left the cottage, and had divided the three kingdoms, wiped out Jing, and became hegemony. There were few who were in ancient and modern times. The latter six went to Qishan, which was not because of his lack of intelligence, but because of the number of heaven. In the future, the lord was weak and the king's aura had ended. Ai was ordered by the emperor to attack Shu with heavy troops, and he had already obtained his land. Chengdu was in danger, so why shouldn't the Duke of responding to the heavens and returning with righteousness?
Aidangbiaogong was the King of Langya, and he shone his ancestors with his glory and never said anything false. Survival and captured the clerk." After seeing this, Zhan was furious and broke his letter. He ordered the warrior to kill the envoy immediately, and ordered the followers to return to the Wei camp with their heads. Ai was furious and wanted to go out to fight. Qiu Ben advised, "General should not go out lightly, you should use strange soldiers to defeat him." Ai congratulated him and ordered the Tianshui Prefect Wang Qi and the Longxi Prefect Qian Hong to hide the two armies behind him. Ai led his troops. At this time, Zhuge Zhan was about to fight, but suddenly reported that Deng Ai led his troops to come. Zhan was furious and led his troops out and rushed into the Wei formation. Deng Ai was defeated and left, and Zhan then concealed the future. Suddenly, two ambushed soldiers were killed.
The Shu soldiers were defeated and retreated into Mianzhu. Ai Ling surrounded him. So the Wei soldiers shouted together, and the iron barrels surrounded by Mianzhu were similar. Zhuge Zhan was in the city. Seeing that the situation was urgent, he ordered Peng He to kill him with a letter and go to Eastern Wu for help. When He arrived in Eastern Wu, he met the Lord of Wu Sun Xiu and submitted an urgent letter. After reading it, the Lord of Wu decided to discuss with the ministers, "Since Shu is in danger, how can I sit down and not save me?" He ordered Kao to be the commander of Ding Feng, Ding Feng and Sun Yi as the deputy general, leading 50,000 troops to rescue Shu. Ding Feng led his troops to distribute Ding Feng. Sun Yi led 20,000 troops to advance to Mianzhong, and led 30,000 troops to Shouchun: divided the troops to help in three groups.
However, Zhuge Zhan saw that the rescue troops were not coming, so he said to the generals, "It is not a good plan for a long time." So he left his son Shang and the Minister Zhang Zunshoucheng. Zhan put his horse on his own and led the three armies to open the three gates to fight out. Deng Ai saw the troops out, so he withdrew his troops. Zhan rushed to kill him. Suddenly, a cannon sounded, and the soldiers from all sides gathered, trapping Zhan in Gaixin. Zhan led his troops to rush left and right, killing hundreds of people. Ai ordered the army to shoot arrows and shoot them all over the Shu soldiers. Zhan fell from the horse in the arrow, and shouted, "I am exhausted, and I should serve the country with one death!" So he drew his sword and committed suicide. His son Zhuge Shang was on the city and saw his father die in the army. He was furious and then put on his clothes on his shoulder.
Horse and Zhang Zun advised, "Don't let the young general come out lightly." Shang sighed and said, "My father, son, grandson, and grandson, the Dutch country is kind to each other. Now that my father died in the enemy, why do I do it for life?" So he rode his horse out and died in the formation. Later generations praised him. Shang father and son said, "It's not a loyal minister who only had a young plan. Heaven intends to stop Yan Liu. Zhuge Liu Jiayin back then, and his righteousness is really worthy of successor Wuhou." Deng Ai felt sorry for his loyalty and buried his father and son together. Taking advantage of the situation to attack Mianzhu. Zhang Zun, Huang Chong and Li Qiu each led an army out. Shu soldiers were few and Wei soldiers, and all three of them died in battle. Ai got Mianzhu. After the labor force, he came to take Chengdu.
