Who is Xin Xianying, you ask? Xin Xianying is also famous, she is a famous talented woman during the Cao Wei period!

Look at this family, what is the origin? Scary!

…… ……

Yanghu (221-278), the word uncle. A native of Taishan Nancheng (now Xintai, Shandong). He was a famous strategist, politician and writer during the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Yanghu was born in a family of famous scholars in the Han and Wei dynasties. From him to the ninth generation, there are people in all generations of the Yang family who have official positions of more than 2,000 stones, and they are all known for being honest and virtuous. Yanghu's grandfather Yang Xu served as the Taishou of Nanyang at the end of the Han Dynasty, his father Yang Shu (dào) was the Shangdang Taishou of the Cao Wei period, and his mother Cai was the daughter of Cai Yong, a famous Confucian in the Han Dynasty and Zuo Zhonglang, and his sister married Sima Shi, the son of Sima Yi.

Yanghu lost his father at the age of twelve, and his filial piety and mourning exceeded ordinary etiquette.

When Yanghu grew up, he was well-read, good at writing, and good at argumentation. And the demeanor is chic, seven feet three inches long, and the eyebrows are beautiful. The county general Xiahouwei thought that he was not an ordinary person and married the daughter of his brother Xiahouba to him.

Yanghu was recommended as a senior official, and the state officials recruited him four times to engage in and show talents, and the five governments also appointed him one after another, but Yanghu refused to take office.

Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming died, and Cao Fang, the king of Qi who succeeded to the throne, was only eight years old.

The general Cao Shuang and the imperial lieutenant Sima Yi were ordered to assist the government, and the struggle between the two groups became increasingly intense.

Cai Wenji came to her sister's house, and during the chat, she talked about the two major groups of Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, and Yanghu was in trouble and didn't know how to get along. Cai Wenji walked to the fish tank of Yanghu's house, called her brother-in-law Yanghu, pointed to the fish tank and asked Yanghu, "You say, if you catch (fish) the fish in the tank, which fish is the most difficult to be hit?" ”

Yang Hu looked, only to see that the tank is divided into two groups of fish, one group is gathered carp, the other group is gathered is crucian carp, only one group of fish is free of the two groups of fish, who does not fish against the gathered fish under the net, who can take care of the fish that is free from the two balls? pointed to the Ga fish and said to Cai Wenji, "Of course it's this Ga fish." ”

Cai Wenji said, "Ah, why don't you be a fish and save yourself?" ”

Yang Hu suddenly realized.

Later, Yanghu and Wang Shen were conscripted by Cao Shuang together, and Wang Shen persuaded Yanghu to take up his post, but Yanghu should not, saying, "It is not easy to risk your life to serve others." ”

Wang Shen answered the call alone. Yanghu is basically free from the struggle between the two groups.

…… ……

Sima Yi launched the Gao Pingling Rebellion, and killed Cao Shuang, seizing military and political power. After the coup, Sima Yi cut off the Cao Shuang group in a big way, and many people related to Cao Shuang were implicated. Yanghu's father-in-law, Xiahou Ba, surrendered to Shu Han in order to escape the killing.

Wang Shen was also deposed because he was Cao Shuang's former official, so Wang Shen said to Yanghu, "I often remember what you said before. ”

Yanghu comforted him and said, "I didn't expect Cao Shuang to have such an end at that time. ”

In this disaster, Yanghu was not punished for his father-in-law's surrender to Shu because of his in-law relationship with Sima's family.

Soon after, Yanghu's mother and eldest brother Yangfa died one after another. Yanghu has been mourning for more than ten years, during which he has regarded himself as a Taoist, dignified and simple, just like a Confucian.

In the second year of Zhengyuan (255), Sima Shi died of illness, Sima Zhao was in power, as a general, and conquered Yanghu, but Yanghu did not respond to the order. As a result, the imperial court bus enlisted Yanghu as the Zhongshu waiter, and soon he was promoted to the middle of the matter and Huangmenlang.

Yanghu was in the imperial court, although he was among the scholars and doctors, but he was upright and never kissed and neglected, so people of insight respected him very much.

…… ……

Cao Huan, the king of Chenliu, ascended the throne, and Yanghu was named the Marquis of Guannei, with 100 households. Because Emperor Wei was young, Yanghu was reluctant to be a courtier in the court, and asked to be transferred out of the court to other positions, and as a result, he was reappointed as a secretary and supervisor.

After the Wei Dynasty implemented the fifth-class title, Yanghu was named Ju (jù) Pingzi, with 600 households. After Zhong was executed, Yang Hu appointed Xiangguo as Zhonglang and shared secrets with Sima Yan's other henchman, Xun 勖 (xù). On the eve of Wei in the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan transferred Yanghu as the leader of the central army, and was on duty in the palace, commanding the imperial forest army, and taking charge of internal and external political affairs.

…… ……

Sima Yan was called the emperor by Chan, established the Western Jin Dynasty, and was known as Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty in history. Because Yanghu has the merit of supporting him, he was promoted to the general of the Chinese army, and he was a regular attendant of the Jiasan cavalry, and he was the county prince and had 3,000 households. Yanghu was afraid of arousing the jealousy of Jia Chong and other powerful ministers, so he insisted on being a duke and only accepted the marquis, so he was made a marquis by the lord Jupingzi, set up the Lang Zhong Order, prepared the post of nine officials, and awarded his wife a seal.

In the early years of Taishi, Sima Yan issued an edict, and the current Yanghu is the right servant of Shangshu and General Wei.

After Sima Yan became the emperor, he was known to have the ambition of swallowing Wu. He actively planned a war to eliminate the Sun Wu regime in order to achieve the great cause of unifying the whole country. In addition to appointing the generals Wei Qian and Sima Ling (zhòu) to sub-town Linzi and Xiapi (pī), and strengthening the military arrangements for Sun Wu, he specially transferred Yanghu as the governor of all the armies in Jingzhou.

…… ……

After Yanghu arrived, he found that the situation in Jingzhou was not stable. Not only was the people's lives not stable enough, but even the garrison's rations were insufficient. Therefore, Yanghu first focused on the development of Jingzhou.

Yanghu opened a large number of schools, set up education, appeased the people, and conceived people from afar. And treat the people of Wu openly and honestly, and those who surrender can decide whether to stay or not.

The garrison of Shicheng of Wu was more than 700 miles away from Xiangyang and often intruded on the border. Yanghu thought it was a problem, so he used a clever trick to make Wu withdraw the garrison. Then Yanghu divided the army into two halves, half for patrolling and garrisoning, and half for cultivating fields.

In that year, the whole army cultivated more than 800 hectares of land. When Yanghu first arrived, the army did not even have food for a hundred days, and later, the food savings could be used for ten years.

These measures by Yanghu quickly stabilized the social order in Jingzhou and enhanced the combat effectiveness of the army. In recognition of his merits, Sima Yan ordered the abolition of all the governors in Jiangbei and awarded Yanghu the post of general in the south of the country, responsible for commanding all the armies in the Jiangxia region of eastern Han.

In the army, Yanghu often wore a light and warm fur coat, a loose belt, and no armor. Under the Ling Pavilion, there were only a dozen soldiers who were ordered to guard.

Soon, Yanghu was crowned as a general of the chariot cavalry, and received special treatment from the opening of the palace such as the three ceremonies.

Yang Hu is on the table and resigned.

But the court did not agree to his resignation. This year, Yanghu was forty-nine years old.

…… ……

In the sixth year of Taishi (270), the governor of Wu in Jingzhou was replaced by the famous general Lu Kang.

The arrival of Lu Kang caused Yanghu's vigilance and uneasiness. Therefore, on the one hand, he stepped up the military arrangements in Jingzhou; One side presented the table to Sima Yanmi. Mi Biao suggested that the war against Wu must take advantage of the convenient conditions in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to run a large naval army in Yizhou (present-day Sichuan).

In August of the eighth year of Taishi (272), Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, was relieved of the post of governor of Xiling (now Yichang, Hubei). Bu Xian refused to return to Jianye for fear of being killed, and in September of that year, he surrendered the city to Jin.

When Lu Kang heard the news, he immediately sent troops to besiege Xiling.

Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty ordered Yanghu and Xu Yin, the Brazilian superintendent, to lead their respective armies to attack Jiangling (present-day Jiangling, Hubei) and Jianping (present-day Wuxian, Sichuan) respectively, and disperse the forces of the land resistance from the east and west, so as to realize the plan of Yang Zhao, the assassin of Jingzhou, to go directly to Xiling to rescue Bu Xian.

However, the land resistance destroyed the road north of Jiangling, and the transportation of grain and straw of the 50,000 Jin army was difficult.

Yang Zhao's soldiers were short of food, and they were defeated by Lu Kang, and the city was punished by the tribe.

A boss said, "Yang Hu violated the edict and did not have the discipline of the general, so he should be removed from his official position and the marquis should be retained to return to the mansion to live idle." ”

As a result, Yang Hu was demoted to the rank of General of Pingnan, and Yang Zhao was demoted to the rank of civilian.

…… ……

After the failure of the Xiling rescue, Yanghu summed up the lesson and adopted a two-sided strategy of military encroachment and advocating Xinyi, in order to accumulate strength, disintegrate the other side, and find a suitable opportunity to destroy Wu.

In view of the fact that Meng Xianzi ran the martial prison in history and the Zheng people were afraid, Yan (ya

With the experience of weakly building the city of Dongyang and Laizi surrendering, Yanghu waved his troops and advanced, occupied a strategic place east of Jingzhou, and successively established five cities. And relying on this, occupy fertile land and seize the wealth of the Wu people.

As a result, the west of Shicheng was occupied by the Jin Kingdom, and the Wu people came to surrender in an endless stream.

Yanghu then implemented the plan of tenderness and attacking the heart.

Wu invaded Deng Xiang in Xiakou, and Yanghu offered a reward to capture him alive, and after he was captured, he was released back.

Deng Xiang was grateful and led his subordinates to surrender.

Yanghu's troops marched past the border of Wu and harvested rice from the fields to replenish the army's rations, but each time they had to pay back with silk according to the amount they harvested.

When hunting, Yanghu restrained his subordinates and did not cross the border line. If any beast was injured by the people of Wu and then obtained by the Jin soldiers, he would return it to the other party.

Yanghu's practices made Wu people happy and convinced, and they respected him very much, and did not call him by his name, but only called him "Yang Gong".
