Chapter 19 The Qiang Soldiers Invade the Territory

After Han Xuan withdrew from the army, the Wei Ying Sentinel came to report to Sima Yi and said: "The Xia Soldier Brigade has retreated, but I don't know how many soldiers there are in the city. ”

Sima Yi came out to see it in person, and when he saw the flag planted on the city and the smoke rising in the city, he said with a smile: "This is an empty city." ”

Sima Yi asked people to go to investigate, and sure enough, it was an empty city. Sima Yi was overjoyed and said: "The Xia army has retreated, who dares to chase after it?" ”

Pioneer Zhang Xiong bowed: "The last general is willing to go." ”

Sima Yi stopped: "General Zhang is young and vigorous, don't go." ”

Zhang Xiong said: "Ambition is not in old age!" And when the governor went out of the customs, he ordered me to be the vanguard, and today is the time for meritorious service, but I don't need it, why not? ”

Sima Yi had no choice but to agree, instructing: "When the Xia soldiers retreat, there will be an ambush in the dangerous place, and they must be very careful before they can be chased." ”

Zhang Xiong nodded in response: "I already know, don't worry." ”

Sima Yi squinted and said to Zhang Xiong: "If you want to go, don't regret it." ”

Zhang Xiong said proudly: "The eldest husband sacrificed his life to serve the country, although he died without hatred. ”

Sima Yi is still not at ease: "Since the general is determined to go, he can lead 5,000 soldiers first; However, he taught Wei Ping to lead 20,000 horse infantry to the rear to prevent an ambush. But I led 3,000 soldiers and responded. ”

Zhang Xiong received the order and led the troops to chase after him. Chased to more than 30 miles, suddenly a shout from behind, a military horse flashed out of the woods, headed by the general, and shouted: "The thief will lead the troops there!" ”

Zhang Xiong looked back and saw that it was Pound. Zhang Xiong was furious and went back to Malaysia to fight. Less than ten, Pound deceived and left.

Zhang Xiong chased for more than 30 miles, looked back at the horse, and saw that there were no ambushes, so he rode his horse forward to chase after him. As soon as he turned the hillside, he suddenly shouted loudly, and a Biao Xia army came out, headed by the general, it was Guan Xing, Guan Xing shouted: "Zhang Xiong is in a hurry!" Do you dare to fight me? ”

Zhang Xiong patted the horse to confront Guan Ping, and within ten times, Guan Xing turned the horse and left. Zhang Xiong then came to chase. Chasing into a dense forest, Zhang Xiong was suspicious, so he went around to sentry, but did not find the ambush, so he was relieved to chase again.

didn't want Pound to take a shortcut to the front, Zhang Xiong came to fight with Pound for more than ten times, and Pound was defeated again. Zhang Xiong was furious and hurriedly chased after him, but was copied in front by Guan Xing and intercepted the way.

Zhang Xiong patted the horse to fight with Guan Xing, the two only cared about fighting, the Xia soldiers filled the road with clothes, armor and other things, and the Wei army dismounted and competed to get it.

Pang De and Guan Xing took turns to lure Zhang Xiong to chase after him, and when it was dark, he rushed to the wooden gate crossing, Guan Xing turned back his horse and scolded loudly: "Zhang Xiong is a traitor!" I will not refuse you, you only care about coming, I will fight you to the death today! ”

Zhang Xiong rushed to the horse with a gun and took Guan Xing directly. Guan Xing waved his knife to greet him. Zhang Xiong is deeply aware of his father Zhang He's martial arts and art of war, and he is also eager for revenge, and he wants to kill the summer general, but he is brave. The two fought for more than ten times, Guan Xing was defeated, abandoned his armor and helmets, and led the defeated soldiers to the wooden doorway.

Zhang Xiong was able to kill, and when he saw Guan Xing's defeat and fled, he rushed over. At this time, it was dark, a cannon rang out, the mountain was on fire, and the big stones rolled down the mountain, blocking Zhang Xiong's way.

Zhang Xiong exclaimed: "I'm in a trick! ”

When Zhang Xiong and the others hurriedly pulled back their horses, their backs were already filled with wood and stones, and there was only a section of open space in the middle, with cliffs on both sides, and Zhang Xiong had no way out. Suddenly, there was a bang, and two crossbows were fired in unison, killing Zhang Xiong and more than 100 generals of the Wei army in the wooden doorway.

Pang De and Guan Xing reported back to Han Xuan, saying that Zhang Xiong was a brave general of Wei, and he would die in the middle of the plan, and it would be much easier to destroy Wei in the future. Han Xuan couldn't be happy, the two were puzzled, but they saw Zhuge Liang shaking a feather fan and explained: "Zhang Xiong is Cao Shuang's henchman, and Sima Yi wants to use the marshal's sword to kill the ear." ”

"The prime minister knows me. The Qiang people have been in trouble for a long time, what is the prime minister's opinion? Han Xuan asked Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said: "The Qiang people are different from the Southern Barbarians, they only serve the brave and capricious. Now that Ma Chao is dead, he will come back, I am afraid that Sima Yi will use it, it is better to play His Majesty and send troops first. ”

Han Xuan listened to Zhuge Liang's words, and after returning to Shuzhong, Shangshu Liu Du asked for orders to lead troops to defeat the Qiang people, and Liu Du played it.

Liu Du also ordered Sun Quan to lead his troops to attack Shihui, and ordered Yizhou Assassin Shi Lu Dai to lead the navy to assist and recover Jiaozhou.

Sun Quan led his troops across the sea to Hepu, where he and Dai Liang, who stayed in Hepu, to defeat Shihui. When Shihui heard that Sun Quan led the army to crusade, he was very frightened and at a loss.

Sun Quan wanted to raise troops to attack Jiaozhi directly, but Lu Dai persuaded him: "The last general has an old friendship with Shihui's cousin Zhonglang General Kuang, and he believes in me. The general could appoint Shi Kuang as a mentor and a friend, and let him write a letter to Shi Hui to lure Shi Hui to surrender. In this way, our army can win without a fight! ”

After the letter was delivered, Shihui hesitated. Sun Quan also sent Shi Kuang to see Shi Hui and persuade Shi Hui to admit his guilt, and although he lost his position as a county guard, he was assured that he had no other worries.

After Sun Quan and LΓΌ Dai led the army to Jiaozhi, Shihui and his brother Shiyi, his younger brother Shigan, Shisong and other six people took off their shirts, exposed their limbs, and came to greet Sun Quan and others to show their apologies.

Sun Quan thanked him and appeased a few people: "Today, my Great Xia is at war with the rebel Wei, you and others are confused for a while, and they rebel, Your Majesty will forgive you and others." Thou shalt repent with sincerity, and thou shalt never rebel again. ”

Shihui and the others thanked them, and Sun Quan ordered them to put on their shirts and then go to the county seat.

The day after Sun Quan arrived in the county seat, he ordered people to set up a banquet early, set up curtains, and invite the Shihui brothers and others to enter in turn. At this time, the banquet was full of guests.

Sun Quan suddenly got up, held the Fu Jie, read the edict, and announced the many sins of the Shi Hui. Shi Hui, Shi Yi, Shi Gan, Shi Song and others hurriedly fled, but they were escorted out by the samurai in the curtain with their hands tied behind their backs.

Shi Hui pointed at Sun Quan and scolded: "Sun Zhongmou, you have rebelled!" ”

Sun Quan sneered: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, their hearts can be punished!" ”

Shi Hui and others were all executed. Subsequently, Sun Quan ordered the heads of Shihui and others to be sent to Luoyang.

After Shihui's death, Shihui's generals Gan Li, Huan Zhi and others led officials and commoners to attack Sun Quan, Sun Quan and Lu Dai led the army to fight the enemy and defeated Gan Li, Huan Zhi and others.

After that, Sun Quan ordered LΓΌ Dai to march to attack Jiuzhen County and drive out the Fang clan entrenched there, and the Shihui Rebellion was finally put down.

However, it is said that after Zhang Xiong's army was defeated and died, the Wei army took back his body, and Sima Yi ordered someone to bury him.

Sima Yi sighed: "Now that the general Zhang Xiong is broken, Xia Bing must be prepared in Hanzhong, what can I do?" ”

Guo Huai said to Sima Yi: "The people of Xiqiang have paid tribute year after year since the time of Taizu, and Emperor Wen also has a favor. The governor of the capital can send people from the path straight into the Qiang for help, and promise to make peace, and the Qiang people will raise troops to attack the Xia soldiers. But I entered Hanzhong with a large army, and attacked from end to end, wouldn't I be victorious? ”

Sima Yi listened to Guo Huai's words, and immediately sent someone to Qiang in the starry night.

The envoy of Wei carried gold beads and letters to Xiqiang, first came to see Prime Minister Yadan, and gave gifts to express his intention to ask for help. Yadan brought messengers to the king and presented them with letters and gifts.

Cheriji, the king of Qiang, read the letter and consulted with the people. Yadan said: "Our country and Wei have been in contact with each other, and now Sima Dudu is asking for help, and he is willing to be reconciled, and he is reasonable." ”。

Cheriji promised to send troops to help Sima Yi, and then ordered Yadan and Marshal Yueji to raise 150,000 Qiang soldiers, all of whom were accustomed to using bows, crossbows, guns, quinoa, flying hammers and other weapons, and chariots, wrapped in nails with iron leaves, loaded with food and weapons: some drove by camels, some by mules and horses, and were called "iron chariot soldiers".

The two resigned from the king and led the troops to Xiping Pass. Luo Meng, the general of the Guanxia Dynasty, urgently sent someone to report to Han Xuan.
