Chapter 052: Cao Wei's Rebellion (II)
Compared with the rebellions of Tian Yin and Su Bo, the later rebellions of Jin Yi, Geng Ji and Wei Wei all broke out in the political center of Cao Wei, one in Xuchang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, and the other in Yecheng, the capital of Wei.
[Jin Yi, Geng Ji, Ji Miao, Wei Huang's rebellion]
In the later period of Jian'an, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, sent the prime minister Changshi Wang to take charge of the army and supervise the affairs of Xu Du. At that time, Guan Yu was strong, and Jin Zhaoren, a Jingzhao person, saw that the Han Dynasty regime would be replaced, so he conspired with Shaofu Geng Ji, Si Zhi Wei Huang, Taiyi Ling Ji Ben, Ji Miao's son Ji Miao, Ji Miao's younger brother Ji Mu and others to murder Wang Bi, hijack the Son of Heaven to fight against Cao Wei's forces, and united Liu Bei in the south as foreign aid.
In the first month of the twenty-third year of Jian'an (218), Ji Miao and others led more than 1,000 henchmen to attack Wang Bi at night, burned the door of Wang Bi's residence, and shot him in the shoulder with an arrow. The governor of the tent supported the king and fled to the southern city of Xudu. Just in the morning, Ji Miao and his henchmen broke up, and Wang Bi and Yingchuan Diannong Zhonglang jointly crusaded against Yan Kuang and killed Ji Miao and others.
After that, Jin Yi, Geng Ji, Ji Miao, Wei Huang and others were all exterminated.
According to the record of the "Sanfu Decision", there is Jingzhao Jin Yi character Deyi, since the world is Hanchen, since the day of the reckless He Luo, loyalty is remarkable, and the name is tired. Seeing that Han Zuo was about to move, he said that Ji Xing was angry, so he conspired with Geng Ji, Wei Huang, Ji Ben, Benzi Miao, Miao Di Mu and so on. Ji Zi Ji Xing, rarely has a good name, for the prime minister, the king is very respectful, moving to the service, guarding the Shaofu. Miao word Wenran, Mu word Siran. Yi Yi is generous and has the wind of the sun, and Wang Bishan, because he hears it, if he kills it, he wants to coerce the Son of Heaven to attack Wei and aid Liu Bei in the south. When Guan Yu was strong, and the king was in Ye, he stayed to supervise the affairs of the soldiers. Wen Ran and others led more than 1,000 miscellaneous people and domestic servants to burn the door at night to attack, and Yi sent people to respond internally, and the shot must be hit in the shoulder. I don't know who the attacker is, with Su and Yishan, desperate, calling Deyi at night, Yijia doesn't know whether it is necessary, it is said to be Wen Ran, etc., and the wrong response is said: "Wang Changshi is dead?" Qing Cao's matter is imminent! "It will be more of a different way. Or say: If you want to surrender, the governor of his account will say, "Who does you know about today's affairs and you are involved?" "Fubi runs to the south city. It will be bright, it will still be there, Wen Ran and the others will disperse, so they will be defeated. In the next ten days, he will die with a wound.
After Wang Bi was wounded and killed by this incident, Cao Cao was furious and later executed many of Xuchang's officials for this.
According to the record of "Shanyang Gongji": When Wang heard that the king was going to die, he was furious, and summoned hundreds of officials of the Han Dynasty to call Ye, so that the firefighters were left and those who did not save the fire were right. Everyone thought that the firefighters would be innocent, and they all attached themselves to the left; The king thought that those who did not put out the fire were not helping the chaos, and those who put out the fire were real thieves, and they were all killed.
【Wei Rebellion】
Earlier, Peiguo Wei Wei (a Jiyin person) had a talent for confusing everyone, and was very influential in Yecheng, and Wei's Xiangguo Zhong Xuan hired him as Xi Cao Peng. Ren Lan, a native of Xingyang, was a good friend of Wei Wei, and his fellow county man Zheng Yuan was the son of Zheng Tai, and often said to Ren Lan: "Wei Wei is a traitorous male, and he will eventually make trouble." Liu Ye also has the same opinion on this.
In September of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Wei Wei secretly entangled the party members and plotted with Chen Yi, the commander of Changle, to attack Yecheng. Before the scheduled date arrived, Chen Yi was afraid and reported the matter. It was too much that Cao Pi killed Wei Wei, and dozens of people were implicated and executed, and Zhong Miao was dismissed from his official position because of this case.
According to the records of "The Words of the World", the irony Zijing, Pei people, there are people who confuse the people, tilt Yedu, and Zhong Xuanyou is refuted. The army did not fight, and the party formed a gangster, and conspired with Chen Yi, the captain of Changle, to attack Ye. Before the deadline, Yi was afraid, told the prince, sarcastic, and dozens of people died.
Among those involved in this rebellion were many of the younger generations of Jingzhou celebrities, including Wang Cang's second son, Liu Wei's brother Liu Wei, Zhang Xiu's son Zhang Quan, and Jingzhou's famous Song Zhong's son.
[Cao Wei of internal and external troubles]
Around the twenty-third and twenty-fourth years of Jian'an (218-219), Cao Wei's group was in a rare difficult period, and Cao Cao could be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles at this time.
In the twenty-third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was still far away in Yecheng at this time, and sent Xiahou Yuan and other generals to lead a large army to confront Liu Bei in Hanzhong, at the same time, Jin Yi and Geng Ji, who were secretly in contact with Liu Bei and Guan Yu, saw that Cao Wei was still anxious about the situation of the Han Dynasty, and was ready to launch a coup d'état in Xuchang to help Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty regain power. Although the rebellion was eventually put down, it also set off a wave of rebellion against Cao Wei.
This rebellion in Xuchang is directly related to Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others, after all, for Liu Bei's group, it is of decisive significance to capture Xuchang and recapture the Son of Heaven.
Cao Cao later sent Cao Ren to crusade against Guan Yu, which was probably directly related to this rebellion. Cao Rentun soldiers in Fancheng failed to go south in time because of the rebellion in Wancheng in the rear, and the battle situation in Hanzhong was also reversed because of the death of Xiahou Yuan, and later Cao Cao personally sent troops to capture Hanzhong, but it was also fruitless.
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (214), the situation became more and more unfavorable for Cao Wei, Cao Cao first lost the general Xiahou Yuan, lost Hanzhong, and then even Cao Ren, who was himself a crusade against Guan Yu, was also defeated by Guan Yu, not only the general sent by Cao Cao to support the defeat and surrender of the forbidden army, the army around Xiangfan also suffered heavy losses, Cao Ren was also surrounded by Guan Yu, and was in danger.
In this situation, Wei Wei and others in Yecheng were ready to move and planned a rebellion. Judging from the participants in this rebellion, Wei Wei may be from Peiguo in Yuzhou, Liu Wei, Zhang Quan and others have a close relationship with Jingzhou, and whether it is Yuzhou or Jingzhou, they all have a direct relationship with Liu Bei, in the Three Kingdoms period, because Liu Bei was recommended by Tao Qian and Lu Bu as the assassin of Yuzhou, and later Cao Cao appointed him as the pastor of Yuzhou, so Liu Bei was also called Liu Yuzhou in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, not to mention Jingzhou.
So is there a direct connection between Wei Wei and Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others? Is there a connection between them? I think it's a possibility, but I don't need to think too much about it.
Because compared to Xuchang, Yecheng is too far away for Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others, and there is no record of relevant materials, in the previous Jin Yi and Geng Ji rebellions, it was directly recorded and they used Liu Bei as foreign aid.
Wei Wei's rebellion is more likely to be caused by the decline of Cao Wei's momentum, after all, Cao Cao has lost once in Hanzhong, and now Xiangfan has suffered another tragic defeat, losing once may be accidental, losing twice makes people feel that it may be inevitable, and Wei Wei himself is a careerist, and he may want to do something big when he sees that Cao Wei's situation is not right, and Liu Bei has a high reputation in Jingzhou and Yuzhou, so there are many Jingzhou children who follow him.
This rebellion actually didn't have much impact, and compared to the rebellion of Jin Yi and Geng Ji, Wei Wei ended before it began.
