97 For whom life and death
However, it was said that Cao Cao retreated to the valley, and Kong Ming expected that he would abandon Hanzhong and leave, so he sent Ma Chao and other generals to divide his troops into more than ten roads, and attacked and robbed from time to time. Therefore, the can't stay long; was shot by Wei Yan again, and he was in a hurry. The three armies were exhausted. The front team did it, and the two fires broke out, but Ma Chao ambushed the soldiers to chase. Cao Bing was terrified. Ordered the sergeant to hurry, and ran without stopping at dawn and night; Until Jingzhao, it is safe to be at ease.
And said that Xuande ordered Liu Feng, Meng Da, Wang Ping, to capture the Shangyong counties, Shen Tan and others Wen Cao had abandoned Hanzhong and left, so they all surrendered, Xuande and the people have been decided, the three armies were rewarded, and the people's hearts were happy. So all the generals have the heart to respect Xuande as the emperor; didn't dare to go straight, but came to tell Zhuge Junshi, Kong Ming said: "My will has been decided." With the introduction of the law, he waited to see Xuande, and said: "Today, Cao Cao is autocratic, and the people have no owner; The lord's benevolence and righteousness are written in the world, and now there are two rivers in the land, which can be followed by the heavens, that is, the emperor's throne, in order to please the national thief. Without further ado, please choose auspiciousness. Xuande was shocked and said: "The words of the military advisor are bad. Although Liu Bei is a member of the Han clan, he is also a courtier; If this is the case, it is anti-Han. Kong Ming said: "No." Fang fell apart today, heroes rose together, each dominating one side, talented and virtuous people from all over the world, and those who sacrificed their lives to do things on it, all wanted to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix to establish fame. Now the lord avoids suspicion and righteousness, and is afraid of losing the hope of everyone. May the Lord ponder it. Xuande said: "If I want to occupy a respectful position, I will not dare." The long-term policy can be discussed again. The generals said in unison: "If the lord only pushes back, everyone will be relieved." Kong Ming said: "The Lord's fair life is based on righteousness, and he will be honored if he is not willing." Now there are Jingxiang and the land of two rivers, which can be temporarily the king of Hanzhong. Xuande said: "Although you want to respect me as the king, you can't make an edict from the Son of Heaven, and you are arrogant." Kong Ming said: "It is advisable to follow power today, and not to stick to common sense." Zhang Fei shouted: "People with different surnames all want to be kings, not to mention that my brother is a sect of the Han Dynasty!" Don't say that the king of Hanzhong is called the emperor, why not! Xuande said: "Don't say much! Kong Ming said: "It is not too late for the lord to change from the power, to become the king of Hanzhong first, and then to play the Son of Heaven." ”
Xuande repeatedly refused, so he had to agree. In the autumn and July of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, the altar was built in Chuyang, with a radius of nine miles, distributed in five directions, and each set up a flag guard of honor. The ministers are all in order. Xu Jing and Fa Zheng invited Xuande to the altar, entered the crown and seal, sat facing south, and was congratulated by civil and military officials as the king of Hanzhong. The son Liu Chan was established as the prince of the king. Feng Xu Jing is the Taifu, and Fa Zheng is the Shangshu Order; Zhuge Liang is a military advisor, and the prime minister is a military matter. Feng Guanyu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong were the generals of the Five Tigers, and Wei Yan was the Taishou of Hanzhong. The rest are to be knighted for meritorious service. Since Xuande was the king of Hanzhong, he repaired his watch and sent people to Xudu. The table said: "Prepare for the talent of the minister, the appointment of the general, the governor of the three armies, and resign; Can't sweep away the trouble, Jing Kuang royal family, for a long time to make His Majesty the Holy Sect Mausoleum late, within the Liuhe, otherwise not Tai: but worry on the side, like a disease. Dong Zhuo, who is a thief, is pretending to be a chaotic order. Since then, the group of fierce people has been rampant and ruined, and the sea has been torn apart. Relying on His Majesty's holy virtue, the people and ministers should respond together, or be loyal and righteous, or punish from heaven, rebel and die, and gradually disappear. Only Cao Cao, who has not been eliminated for a long time, has encroached on national rights, and is extremely chaotic. Chen Xi and the general of the cavalry, Dong Cheng, tried to discuss the operation, but the matter was not secret, and they were framed. The more the ministers sowed, the more loyal and righteous failed, so they had to make the exercise extremely rebellious: the queen was killed, and the prince was harmed. Although the contract is entangled, the mind is struggling; Cowardice and lack of force, it has not been effective over the years. often fears death and fails to live up to the country's grace; Sigh forever, and be vigilant. Today's ministers and bureaucrats think: In the past, Yushu Dunxu Nine Clans, Shu Ming inspired; According to the legend of the emperor, this way is not abolished; The second generation of Zhou Jian and built Zhu Ji, relying on the power of Jin and Zheng Jiafu; Gaozu Longxing, the younger brother of the prince, the Nine Kingdoms of the Great Apocalypse, the death of Zhu Lu, and the Great Sect of An. Now the evil is upright and ugly, there are many disciples, harboring evil intentions, and usurpation has been revealed; Since the clan is weak, the imperial family has no position, and the ancient style is considered, and it is expedient according to the fake: the ministers are the great Sima and the king of Hanzhong. Ministers from the three provinces: received the country's favor, the favor of either party, Chen Li did not work, what he got has passed, it is not appropriate to reinstate the high position, and slander it with a serious crime. The crowd is forced to be righteous. The ministers retreated, but the thieves were not evil, and the national disaster was not over; The temple is in danger, and the society is about to fall: the day when Chengchen is worried and broken. If you should change the right and make a quiet pilgrimage, although you go to the fire and water, you can't give up. Obey the public opinion, worship the seal, and worship the prestige of the country. Yang Weijue, high and favored; Thinking about the results, worrying and responsible. Frightened, as if in the valley. Dare not try your best to lose sincerity, reward the six divisions, lead the group, and respond to the good times, with Ning Sheji. I would like to hear from you. ”
When it came to Xudu, Cao Cao heard that Xuande had established himself as the king of Hanzhong in Ye County, and he was furious and said: "Weaving mat boy, dare to do this!" I swear to destroy it! "Immediately send an order, raise all the troops of the country, and go to Liangchuan to fight with the king of Hanzhong. One of them went out and admonished: "The king should not drive an expedition in a chariot because of a momentary anger." The minister has a plan, there is no need to stretch a bow or arrow, so that Liu Bei will suffer from it in Shu; When its troops are exhausted, they only need to go to the expedition to succeed. "him, it's Sima Yiye. Cao Xi asked, "What is Zhongda's opinion?" Yi said: "Jiangdong Sun Quan, married Liu Bei with his sister, and stole it back; Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou again and did not return it: they both had a grit of teeth. Today, you can send a man of argument to say that Sun Quan will raise troops to take Jingzhou; Liu Bei must send troops from the two rivers to save Jingzhou. At that time, the king raised troops to take Hanchuan, so that Liu Bei could not save each other, and he was bound to be in danger. "Cao Daxi, that is, repairing the book to make him full of favors, and cast Jiangdong to see Sun Quan in the starry night.
Quan Zhi was full of favor, so he consulted with the strategist. Zhang Zhaojin said: "Wei and Wu have no enmity; Because of listening to Zhuge Zhi's words, the two families fought endlessly for many years, and the living beings were devastated. When Manmanning comes, there will be a sense of peace, and he can receive it with courtesy. According to his words, the strategists were invited to meet each other in the city. After the ceremony, the right to treat the favor with courtesy. The pet presented the book and said: "Wu and Wei have no enmity, but they are all because of Liu Bei, which caused a quarrel." The king of Wei sent a certain here, about the general to capture Jingzhou, the king of Wei with troops to the Han River, head to end attack. After breaking Liu, they divided the territory and swore not to invade each other. After Sun Quan finished reading the book, he set up a feast to treat each other and sent him back to the museum to rest. and counsel with the counsellors. Gu Yong said: "Although it is a word, it makes sense. Today, you can send a full pet back, date Cao Cao, and hit each other head and tail; On the one hand, people can only act when they cross the river to explore the clouds and move. Zhuge Jin said: "A certain Wenyun came to Jingzhou, Liu Bei married his wife, a son of the husband, and a daughter for the second time. His daughter is still young and has not been allowed to write a person. A certain is willing to propose to the lord and the prince. If Yun Chang agrees, he will discuss with Yun Chang to break Cao Cao; If Yunchang refuses, then help Cao take Jingzhou. "Sun Quan used his strategy to send Manchu back to Xudu first; But he sent Zhuge Jin as an envoy to Jingzhou. Enter the city to see the clouds, and finish the ceremony. Yun Chang said: "What does Ziyu mean here? Jin said: "I have come to ask for the good of the two families: my lord Wu Hou has a son, who is very smart; General Wen has a daughter, and he came to ask for marriage. The two families got married, and they broke Cao. This sincere and beautiful thing, please think about it. Yun Chang was furious and said: "My tiger girl Anken marries a dog!" Don't look at your brother's face, behead you! Say no more! Then he called for expulsion from the left and right. Jin hugged his head and ran back to see Wu Hou; I didn't dare to hide, so I told the truth. Quan was furious and said: "He is too rude! He called Zhang Zhao and other civil and military officials to discuss the strategy of taking Jingzhou. Bu Qi said: "Cao Cao has wanted to usurp the Han for a long time, and Liu Bei, who is afraid; Today, an envoy was sent to order Wu Xingbing to swallow Shu, and Wu Ye was to blame. Quan said: "Lonely also wants to take Jingzhou for a long time." Qiu said: "Now Cao Ren is now stationed in Xiangyang and Fancheng, and there is no danger of the Yangtze River, and the dry road can take Jingzhou; How can you not take it, but let the lord mobilize his troops? That's all there is to see his heart. The lord can send an envoy to Xu Du to see Cao, so that Cao Ren will raise troops to take Jingzhou first, and Yun Chang will take Fancheng with Jingzhou's troops. If Yun Chang moves, the lord can send a general to secretly take Jingzhou, and he can win it in one fell swoop. "The right to follow his proposal, immediately sent an envoy across the river, wrote to Cao Cao, and Chen said the matter. Cao Daxi, sent a messenger to return first, and sent Manzhong to Fancheng to help Cao Ren, as a staff officer, to discuss the mobilization of troops; On the one hand, he galloped to the Eastern Wu and ordered the leading troops to respond by water in order to take Jingzhou.
However, it was said that the king of Hanzhong ordered Wei Yan to supervise the army and horses and guard Dongchuan. Then he led hundreds of officials back to Chengdu. The officials started to build the palace court, and set up the building, from Chengdu to Baishui, and built more than 400 pavilions and posts. Extensive accumulation of grain and grass. Build more weapons in order to enter the Central Plains. The meticulous people heard that Cao Cao was connected with Eastern Wu, and wanted to take Jingzhou, that is, he flew into Shu. The king of Hanzhong hurriedly asked Kong Ming to discuss. Kong Ming said: "It is expected that Cao Cao will have this plan; However, there are a lot of strategists in Wuzhong, and Cao Ren must be taught to raise troops first. The king of Hanzhong said: "What can I do if it is like this? Kong Ming said: "But the mission will be sent to the official and Yun Chang, and the first army will be taken to take Fancheng, so that the enemy army will be frightened and will naturally collapse." "The king of Hanzhong was overjoyed, that is, he sent Sima Feishi in the front part as an envoy to join Jingzhou. Yun Chang came out of Guo and welcomed him into the city. After the ceremony, Yun Chang asked, "What is the title of the king of Hanzhong?" The poem says: "The first of the five tiger generals." Yun Chang asked, "The five tiger generals?" The poem says: "Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Ma, and Huang are also." Yun Chang said angrily: "Yide is my brother; Meng Qi generation of famous masters; Zilong has been with my brother for a long time, that is, my brother is also: the position is with me, but also. What kind of person is Huang Zhong, dare to be in the same column with me? The eldest husband will never be with the old man? So he refused to be sealed. The poem smiled and said: "The general is bad." Xi Xiao He and Cao participated in the same major events of Gaozu and were the closest, while Han Xin was the deceased general of Chu; However, Xin is the king, above Xiao and Cao, and Xiao and Cao have not heard of this as a grievance. Although the king of Hanzhong has the title of five tiger generals, he has the righteousness of brothers with the generals, and they are regarded as the same body. The general is the king of Hanzhong, and the king of Hanzhong is about to be in the army. Shall you be equal to all men? The general received the favor of the king of Hanzhong, and he should share weal and woe with him, and should not care about the rank of official. May the general ponder it. Yun Chang realized that he bowed again: "I don't know something, I don't know it, I don't have to see it here, and I miss a few big things." "That is, to bow to the seal.
Fei Shifang issued a royal decree and ordered Yun Chang to lead his troops to take Fancheng. Yun Chang received the order, and immediately sent Fu Shiren and Mi Fang as the vanguard, and first led an army to camp outside Jingzhou City; On one side, a banquet is set up in the city, and the hospitality fee is a poem. Drinking to the second watch, it was suddenly reported that there was a fire in the village outside the city. Yun Chang hurriedly put on his horse, and when he went out of the city to see, it was Fu Shiren and Mi Fang who were drinking, leaving a fire behind the tent, burning artillery, shaking the camp, and burning all the weapons, grain and grass. cloud
