Chapter 416: Three Kingdoms: Liu Chan gets beaten
[Jiang Wei of Western Shu led an army of 200,000 to attack Qishan again. General Anxi Deng Ai set up nine large camps in Qishan to deal with Jiang Wei.
Deng Ai deliberately left the open space at the foot of the mountain for Jiang Wei, guessing that he would definitely set up camp there and take the opportunity to dig a tunnel.
The Shu army did set up three camps at the entrance of the valley, supporting each other.
Deng Ai decided to sneak into the Shu army camp at night and set fire to it while the Shu army was still unstable.
Jiang Wei guessed Deng Ai's intention and did not allow the Shu army to leave the camp to fight, and instead used bows and arrows to resist them.
The Wei army suffered heavy casualties, so Deng Ai had to retreat.
When the victory report reached Luoyang, Sima Zhao praised Deng Ai, which aroused Zhong Hui's jealousy. Zhong Hui suggested that the troops from Weinan be mobilized and camped on the south bank of the Wei River.
<Deng Ai is really good at geography.>
<The Northern Expedition Maniac - Jiang Wei>
<When Zhuge Liang launched the Northern Expedition, the whole country was united, but Jiang Wei had few supporters in the court.>
<Jiang Wei and Deng Ai are indeed lifelong enemies.>
<Even though they were lifelong enemies, Deng Ai was still killed by Jiang Wei in the end? [狗头]>
<In history, Jiang Wei led eleven northern expeditions, winning more than he lost, but the Shu Kingdom was still too weak, and the Wei Kingdom could hold on no matter how many times it lost. Moreover, the Shu Kingdom was really easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it was difficult to fight your way out, and many people were trapped and died.>
<Jiang Wei and the Prime Minister are becoming more and more alike.>
<Zhong Hui and Deng Ai did not get along because Zhong Hui was the son of the Grand Tutor Zhong Yao who was born in old age. He always thought he was a genius, but now he was outshined by Deng Ai, who was born in a humble family. Of course, he was very unhappy.>
<The only thing Shu can rely on is Wei.>
<Zhuge Liang is a rare genius in the millennium. It is already very good that Jiang Wei can do this.>
<If I remember correctly, Ji Kang seemed to be killed by Zhong Hui.>
[Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of Han: Northern Expedition...]
[Zhuge Liang: Bo Yue, you...]
[Zhang Fei, the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: You are so brave!!!]
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: Is Zhong Hui the son of Zhong Yao?]
……
"I, Old Zhang, just like your personality!" The more Zhang Fei looked at Jiang Wei, the more satisfied he became.
"Alas, it's a pity that you and I have never met on the light screen!" Zhang Fei said here, and felt that his death was cowardly.
Look at Jiang Wei's life. He inherited the prime minister's will and carried the Wei Kingdom on his own.
……
Eastern Han Dynasty, the sixth year of Jian'an
"It's still a good thing to have a son in old age." Cao Cao estimated when Zhong Yao had Zhong Hui and joked, "This is what it means to be strong in old age!"
"Hahaha."
Everyone also laughed.
It seems that Zhong Hui has little vision and actually hangs out with Sima family.
Cao Cao came back to his senses from the information he received on the light curtain. He sat in the upper seat, his eyes scanning the counselors and generals below one by one, his mind full of thoughts.
Cao Cao was absolutely sure that Zhong Yao was absolutely loyal to him.
But what about after him? The next generation? Isn't the continuation of the family the most important thing for their family? !
Who cares whether the person sitting on the throne is surnamed Liu, Cao, or Sima...
Cao Cao felt depressed and had no place to vent.
Aristocratic family from the Wei and Jin dynasties. Cao Cao couldn't help but repeat these words.
Upon hearing this, Guo Jia, who was sitting below, focused his attention and sat up straight from his laziness.
If the lord fails to deal with this disaster, then even if the Sima clan is exterminated, what will happen? How can the next Cao Wei not be Sima Jin?
What Guo Jia is best at is coming up with strategies and plans on the battlefield.
However, he also had a clear view of the national destiny and the general trend of the world. Although the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty and the situation shown by Sima Jin were separated by a hundred years, we have to admit that the core essential problem has not changed.
Change of dynasty?
It's just that the master on the throne has changed, there is no change among the people and in the court.
Cao Cao pointed at the table and couldn't help wondering, have Cao Wei still had loyal ministers after so many decades?
After 400 years of the Han Dynasty, there were still loyal ministers who wanted to support the Han Dynasty. Would Cao Wei have the same?
Cao Cao knew that his evaluation in history was a mixture of praise and criticism, so he decided to act more cautiously this time, believing that the evaluation would always change after he had pacified the country.
……
[Jiang Wei led his army to set up the Bagua formation at Qishan Mountain and fought a decisive battle with the Wei army. Deng Ai rushed into the Bagua formation of the Shu army with his spear, but was trapped in the formation. He was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse. The Shu army then rushed towards the Wei army with the burning wooden ox and flowing horse chariot. Deng Ai fled out of the formation in a panic.
Deng Ai was shot by an arrow and lay on his sickbed.
Sima Wang suggested: "Today, the Shu ruler Liu Chan favors the eunuch Huang Hao, who enjoys drinking and sex day and night. We can use a counter-espionage strategy to bribe Huang Hao and spread rumors. The Shu ruler will become suspicious and will definitely recall Jiang Wei, and the crisis can be resolved."
Liu Chan believed Huang Hao's words and recalled Jiang Wei to the court.
Jiang Wei was somewhat unwilling: "This time we invaded the Central Plains and captured the nine fortresses in Qishan. Victory was imminent, but His Majesty ordered me to withdraw the troops immediately. I really don't know the reason."
After returning to the court in Chengdu, Jiang Wei met with Liu Chan and asked him the reason for his return.
Liu Chan glanced at Huang Hao and changed the subject: "You have been at the border for a long time and have not returned to the army. I am afraid that the soldiers are exhausted, so I summoned you back to the court. I have no other intention."
Jiang Wei knew that it was a counter-espionage plot by Deng Ai and glared at Huang Hao, who was frightened and at a loss as to what to do.
"I am determined to defeat the enemy, carry on Prime Minister Zhuge's legacy, and repay the country's kindness. Your Majesty, please do not listen to the words of villains and become suspicious."
Liu Chan said hurriedly: "I don't doubt you, you should go back to Hanzhong, and wait until Wei State changes, then it will not be too late to send troops to attack Wei!"
Jiang Wei slowly walked out of the hall. Thunder rumbled from the sky and dark clouds covered the sky, which seemed to be an ominous sign.
<It's a pity that Jiang Wei has no power in the court. It would be great if there was someone who supported him. And this is the eighth time he went to Qishan.>
<The Eight Formations Diagram was deduced by Zhuge Liang from the ancient Eight Formations to train his soldiers. It is essentially a top-level battle formation that combines both offense and defense.>
<Wu Hou humiliated Zhongda in a battle, Jiang Wei defeated Deng Ai in a battle, history always repeats itself in a surprising way.>
<Alas, the Prime Minister has not had the time to teach Jiang Wei in depth. Jiang Wei has learned by himself based on the military books passed on to him by the Prime Minister. If he can receive the Prime Minister's careful training, he may really be able to compete with the Prime Minister.>
<For most people at this point in time, the "Han Dynasty" is a long time ago. [Sigh] Alas, Emperor Zhaolie, Prime Minister, Jiang Wei is really working hard to fulfill his mission. >
<When Jiang Wei was born, the Han Dynasty was already in name only. I think he himself had never seen what the Han Dynasty he was trying to support was like. Moreover, he had never met Liu Bei, but he fought for Liu Bei's cause of supporting the Han Dynasty all his life. [Sigh]>
<This counter-espionage plan is always successful.>
<Adou, have you forgotten what the Prime Minister wrote in his letter of departure? ! And you made the same mistake twice, just like when you listened to the eunuchs and recalled the Prime Minister to Chengdu.>
<After Jiang Wan and Fei Yi were gone, no one in Shu could restrain Huang Hao.>
<Damn, the actors shouldn't be too vivid. The actor who played Liu Chan is the same as Liu Zhang. Sure enough, the previous ones were all hints.>
<If Jiang Wei had the power that Zhuge Liang had, he could have executed Huang Hao directly.>
<These three kingdoms, one is about regicide, one is about palace fighting, and one is about incompetent eunuchs, and the matching mechanism is of the same level.>
<If the prime minister knew about this, wouldn’t he be heartbroken? If Emperor Zhaolie of Han knew about this, he would definitely slap Liu Chan a few times to make him feel the fatherly love he lacked.>
[Emperor Zhaolie of Han Liu Bei: Yes, Guangmu is right. I was too fond of Ah Dou before and didn’t let him feel my love.]
[Zhang Fei in the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: Hehe, don't worry, big brother! My nephew Adou is here with me, I will make sure he feels his uncle's love. [Eating melon]]
[Zhao Yun, the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: Well... Adou is still young... Yide, be careful, don't use too much force...]
[Liu Chan in the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: Uncle Yun~[woohoo]]
……
The Second Year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty
"Adou~"
When Liu Chan heard the voice, he straightened his back immediately, with a bad premonition.
"Tell me how you became so stupid! You made the same mistake twice! If Kong Ming and Bo Yue really wanted to usurp the throne, do you really think you can defeat them?!"
Zhang Fei began to pick rattan.
"Huang Hao looks like a traitor and a thief! You read history books and my elder brother often tells you about the times of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling. Do you really not think there is anything wrong with it?"
Zhang Fei picked out the rattan and tried it to feel it. It felt good.
"Do you still remember the past of the Ten Eunuchs?!"
Liu Chan looked at his uncle's angry eyes and was so frightened that he dared not move. The place where he was hit was still aching...
