Chapter 169: Sima's Knife

In April 264, led by Wei Guan, Cao Wei went to Shu Han to defeat more than ten captured generals, more than 100 captains and more than 700 soldiers. He was released by Shu Han, passed through Chang'an, and then returned to Luoyang.

Since the end of the Spring and Autumn period, the infantry has become an independent branch of the military. In the ancient Chinese army, the lowest-ranking officer was the commander, including himself, a total of five soldiers. Above the army, there is something, and the officer is long. There is a song on the even, and the officer is called the military waiter. Above the song, there is a part. In the Han Dynasty, the prefect of the ministry was called the school captain. Generally, the troops under the command of a lieutenant are about 1,000 people. This is the most basic establishment in the ancient army. When the armed forces of the two Han Dynasty were strong, a single unit could often independently carry out some combat missions.

Above the ministry, it is not a fixed establishment. Freedom is often grouped according to the needs of the battle. Or several ministries together, or dozens or even hundreds of ministries together. And the commanders who command this extremely large number of ministries are either lieutenant generals, or various generals......

For Guan Yi, in order to better control the huge group of captives harvested this time. Then he doesn't want officers above the military level. But in order to avoid the complete disorganization of the captives, he had to stay behind the chief and the chief of the army, who were not officers in terms of status, but soldiers.

Originally, according to Guan Yi's original intention, Wei Guan and these senior generals could certainly be put back. But these low-level officers such as captains and military captains are the backbone of an army, and he wants to kill them all. Who knows that Sima Zhao is not stupid - with enough low-level officers, as long as there are people, a new force can be quickly formed. Therefore, in the simple negotiations, Sima Zhao made it very clear that the families of Wang Ji and others could be sent to Hanzhong, but the premise was that in addition to Wei Guan and others coming back, all the officers above the military waiting level should be released. Otherwise, he would not want the lives of Wei Guan and others, and he would also punish the families of Wang Qi and others......

Well, your uncle's three clans have made not only the entire Cao Wei's monarchs and ministers and people fearful, but even I am afraid of you. Go, go, it's all back to you. With these more than 800 mouths to help me promote, I am afraid that the name of the demonic beast of the madman will be more prestigious in Cao Wei's country.

"The criminal generals Wei Guan, Hu Lie, Zhan Qinggang, Ju'an, Xiahou Xian, Qiu Jian...... Meet the King of Jin. It is a great sin for us to lose our teachers and humiliate the country. I implore the King of Jin to condemn and punish ......"

You guys are guilty of a great crime! made Lao Tzu's natural king into an embarrassment and forcibly ascended the throne...... With Lao Tzu's heart, I really want to forget all of you and the three clans!

Unfortunately, this kind of thinking is just a thought, and in fact it is impossible to do so.

Let's talk about this Wei Guan first, people are representatives of the Hedong clan. The Wei clan of Hedong Anyi and the Pei clan of Hedong Wenxi are hardcore allies who have repeatedly intermarried with each other for many years. Killing Wei Guan, not only the Hedong Wei clan is dissatisfied, but also the Wenxi Pei clan will be dissatisfied. This is likely to cause the county to lose stability. And what is Hedong County? He was next to Hanoi County, the Sima family's old nest, the northern barrier of Luoyang and Cao Wei's largest granary, where the state had set up a farmer Zhonglang to be in charge of a large state-owned farm. How can this place be messed up? As the two most powerful families in Hedong County, the support of the Wei family and the Pei family is the biggest reliance on Hedong's stability.

Not to mention that Wei Guan and Sima Yan formed a family of children early, although Wei Guan's third son Wei Xuan was only ten years old, he already had a marriage contract with Sima Yan's six-year-old daughter. And although Wei Guan's youngest daughter is only five years old this year, she is already a very outstanding beauty embryo. Sima Yan also wants to bring this little girl into his house in the future and be the daughter-in-law of his second son Sima Zhen (the mentally handicapped emperor of the later generations of 'why not eat minced meat'...... If you want to kill Wei Guan, I'm afraid Sima Yan will be the first to jump up and oppose it, right?

So what about the next one, the protector Hu Lie? This family is even more incredible.

The Hu family is from Anding County, Yongzhou. Although this Anding County belongs to Yongzhou in terms of administrative division, it is closer to Liangzhou in terms of topography and customs. Therefore, the Hu family is actually the representative of the Liangzhou family in the Luoyang court. The Hu family's support for the Sima family means Liangzhou's support for the Sima family. And Liangzhou, please, that place is close to Xishu! On the head of that hateful Jiang Wei, in addition to the title of a pseudo-general of Xishu, there is also a title of pseudo-Liangzhou pastor. In the past 40 years, Xishu Nianzi has taken Liangzhou first, and then Yongzhou. If you kill Hu Lie, it will cause the Hu family to be dissatisfied. Will Liangzhou be chaotic?

Besides, who is Hu Lie's father? Avant-garde general Hu Zun. Although this old ghost has been hanging for several years. But people have not only been generals of Wei before, but also generals of the Eastern Expedition, decades of southern and northern wars, I don't know how many protégés and former officials there are in the Luoyang Chinese Army. Hu Lie's eldest brother, Hu Guang, is now the Shaofu of the Cao Wei court. What does Shaofu do? Dedicated to the emperor's private money! What about Hu Lie's second brother Hu Fen? The current Xuzhou Thorn History, where is Cao Wei's rear. It can't be messed up. And Hu Fen is still a famous general! Zhuge was killed by his own hands. If you kill Hu Lie, will you kill Hu Fen? If you want to kill Hu Fen, what should Hu Fen do if he launches a rebellion in Xuzhou? What's more, Hu Fen's daughter is already Sima Yan's little wife. This is an arrangement for Sima Yan to sit firmly on the throne after he ascends the throne in the future...... Annihilate the three Hu clans? Are you kidding?

Next? Ju'an? Neither can this man be killed. Because, although this person is not as involved as the first two. But compared to the previous two, this person can't be killed!

Originally, after fighting with Xishu for decades, those wild monkeys in the mountains were much more difficult than those families in Dongwu who surrendered without a word, and there were no more than ten generals in Xishu in a few decades! This Ju'an is already the only living Xishu general in the Cao Wei court, if Ju'an is killed here, who will surrender to those generals in Xishu in the future? So no matter what, this benchmark must be kept!

Next one, Zhan Qinggang. Well, the clan used to be glorious, but now it is completely gone. It's the same as the Qiu Jian in the back. There is no political point in killing you. So, count yourself lucky.

One more next, Xiahou Xian. Well? Xiahou! Well, you're the one who kills!

Although Mr. Sima Zhao activated the big killing weapon of the Yi three clans at every turn. But as a good politician. Sima Zhao is not killing people indiscriminately. He is particular about killing.

Specific to this batch of generals. First of all, because of the two commanders in the Shu army this time, Deng Ai's father and son have been beheaded. And Zhong Hui fled far away from Soochow. Therefore, someone in this group must die, otherwise this defeat will not be explained. Secondly, in this group of people, some people cannot be killed, and some people do not have much meaning to kill. So, the only option is Xiahou Xian.

Who gave you the surname Xiahou? Who made Xiahou the original second shareholder of Cao Wei Co., Ltd.? Who made Cao Cao's Cao Cao originally come from Xiahou?

So, who do you kill if you don't kill you?

In April 264, the Xiangguo Mansion of Cao Wei issued a series of orders, which can be regarded as a summary and corresponding adjustments to the battle of Shu.

Deng Ai, the general of the expedition to the west, and his son Deng Zhong, were loyal to the king and martyred. Posthumously presented Deng Ai as a general of the chariot cavalry, nicknamed 'Zhuanghou'. His son, Deng Zhong, posthumously presented General Zuo. He was nicknamed 'Liehou'. The generals who died in battle, Shi Su, Yang Xin, Tian Zhang and others under his command, all had posthumous seals and posthumous gifts.

Zhonghui, the general of Zhenxi, took inappropriate measures, resulting in the annihilation of the 180,000 army. Execution in absentia is beheading. Zhong Yong, the third son of Zhong Yu, who followed him on the expedition this time, was also beheaded in absentia. and issued a sea fishing document, and the world recovered. Zhong Yi, the fourth son of Zhong Yu, has lived with Zhong Hui for a long time, but he is actually Zhong Hui's adopted son and beheaded. Because Zhong Hui's brother Zhong Yu stated in advance that Zhong Hui might rebel before this expedition, Zhong Yu's eldest son Zhong Jun and second son Zhong Yu were not guilty because they were actually raised by Zhong Yu. At the same time, in view of the fact that Zhong Yu had died of illness at the beginning of this year, Zhong Yu's eldest son Zhong Jun was allowed to inherit his father's title - appeasing the Zhong clan of the Yingchuan clan.

General Wei Sima Wang, reappointed as the general of Zhengxi, re-emerged from the town of Chang'an. Du pre-served as the governor of the Great General's Mansion and supervised the army. At the same time, 20,000 Chinese troops and 30,000 Qingxu troops were transferred, and 10,000 Yongzhou people were recruited to serve in the army. The Yongzhou Legion was reorganized. Zhan Qinggang, Ju'an, Qiu Jian and others were all under the command of the general of Zhengxi, and they made meritorious contributions.

Xuzhou thorn history Hu Fen, over the years have had many military exploits. Tuned to the history of Yongzhou Thorn, with the title of General Zhenxi. He led 30,000 Qingxu troops and 20,000 Bingzhou troops into Jincheng (Lanzhou) to rebuild the Longxi Army. Wang Shen (Wang Chang's second son, Wang Hun's younger brother) served as the governor of the Zhenxi General's Mansion and supervised the army. Hu Lie's son Hu Yuan, Cavalry Captain Wen Yang, Wen Hu and others were transferred to the Zhenxi General's Mansion to listen to them.

Sima Liang, the general of Zhenxi, served as the general of Zhennan - the commander of the Jingzhou Army. Chen Qian, the former commander of the Jingzhou Army, returned to the dynasty and served as a hussar general.

Sima Ling, the general of the conquest, served as the general of Zhendong - the commander of the Yangzhou Army. Shi Bao, the former commander of the Yangzhou Army, returned to the dynasty and served as a general of the chariot cavalry.

Anton General Sima Jun served as the assassin of Xuzhou. The Xuzhou Corps was reorganized.

Kaipingzi Sima Wei served as the Taishou of Wei County. Sima Lun served as the commander of Yecheng County. The two brothers were stationed in Yecheng together with He Zeng, the general of the expedition to the north, and the warden of the Cao clan prison.

In the end, of course, the sin general Xiahou Xian was afraid of the enemy. When Yang'an Pass had just fallen into the hands of the enemy, it failed to launch an effective attack at the first time. He is the first person directly responsible for the annihilation of the entire army of Shu. There is no forgiveness for sin. to destroy its three tribes.

So far, through a series of adjustments, the Sima family has allowed their relatives to go out of various places in the town, and for the first time, they have completely grasped the full power in the hands of their own family. At the same time, by destroying the three clans of Xiahou Xian, the Cao Wei Xiahou clan, which had already declined to the extreme, almost disappeared from the court, and further deterred the rest of the family. Finally, the crisis caused by the forcible ascension to the throne has been slightly reversed.
