Chapter 025: The Three Armies Attack Shu
In the sixth year of Jingyao of the Shu Han Dynasty (263), Sima Zhao sent Zhong Hui, Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu to lead nearly 200,000 troops to attack Shu on a large scale. This time, Jiang Wei had already warned before the Wei army sent troops, but the later lord Liu Chan didn't care at all, and Jiang Wei's strategy for Wei changed, so Shu Han was very passive since the start of the war.
【Shu Han Countermeasures】
At the beginning, the ancestor Liu Bei left Wei Yan to guard Hanzhong, and they were all heavy troops to defend each camp to defend against foreign enemies, and if the enemy attacked, they would not be able to cross the defensive settings. In the Battle of Xingshi, Wang Ping resisted Cao Shuang and used this method. After Jiang Wei took control of the military, because he had repeatedly failed to make the Northern Expedition, he was ready to fight a defensive counterattack, and he thought that although it was in line with the principle of "Zhou Yi" "Heavy Gate", it could only defend against the enemy, but could not obtain greater benefits. It is better to listen to the arrival of the enemy army, and each camp will collect troops and accumulate food, and retreat to the two cities of Han and Le, so that the enemy army can not enter Pingchuan, and defend the layers of passes to resist the enemy. When the enemy is attacking, let the guerrilla troops march in parallel and wait for an opportunity to attack the enemy. The enemy's attack could not be broken, and there was no food in the four fields, so they were naturally tired from carrying grain and grass from thousands of miles away. When it retreated, the cities marched together to attack in tandem with the guerrillas, which was a good way to annihilate the enemy.
So Jiang Wei ordered Hu Ji, who was guarding Hanzhong, to retreat to Hanshou, the general Wang Han to guard Lecheng, and Jiang Bin, the protector Jiang Bin, to guard Hancheng, and to build fortifications in Xi'an, Jianwei, Wuwei, Shimen, Wucheng, Jianchang, Linyuan and other places. But in this way, Shu Han is also wide open.
In the sixth year of Jingyao (263), Jiang Wei discovered the military actions of Zhong Hui and others, so he gave the table to the queen Liu Chan and said: "I heard that Zhong Hui reorganized the army in Guanzhong and tried to advance our country, so Zhang Yi and Liao Huadu should be sent to lead the troops at the same time to guard the Yang'an Pass and Yinping Qiaotou to prevent trouble." "Huang Hao believed in ghosts and witchcraft, saying that the enemy could not be defeated, and the other ministers of the court and China did not know about it.
As a result, although Jiang Wei had been prepared in the north, his strength was insufficient, and Liu Chan in the capital of Cheng (cheng) listened to Huang Hao's words and did not inform others, and the entire court did not know anything about it.
[The first battle is losing and retreating]
In the fourth year of Wei Jingyuan (263), the Wei army was divided into three ways to attack Shu: Deng Ai, the general of Zhengxi, led more than 30,000 troops to march from Di Dao to contain the main force of the Shu general Jiang Wei stationed in Shuzhong; Yongzhou assassin Shi Zhuge Xu led more than 30,000 people to attack Wudu to cut off Jiang Wei's retreat; Zhong Hui led the main force of more than 100,000 people, wanting to take advantage of the void to take Hanzhong, and then go straight to Chengdu. With Tingwei Weiquan as the Sima of the Zhenxi Army, Deng Ai and Zhong Hui Military, the festival supervisors. It is commanded by the general Sima Zhao.
After the Wei army attacked, the latter lord Liu Chan sent the auxiliary general Dong Ju and the left chariot general Zhang Yi to lead the army to Yang'an Pass, as a foreign aid for the front line, and the right chariot cavalry general Liao Hua led the Shu army to support Jiang Wei in Huzhong. Zhang Yi and Dong Ju marched to Yinping County, and heard that the Wei general Zhuge Xu was going to attack Jianwei, so they stayed in Yinping for more than a month to observe the situation.
When Zhong Hui commanded more than 100,000 troops as the commander-in-chief, they marched from Xiegu and Luogu respectively. Zhong Hui ordered Xu Yiwei, the general of the Ya Gate, to build the road in front and lead the army behind him. When crossing the bridge, the war horse's hooves fell into the pit, and Zhong Hui beheaded Xu Yi regardless of Xu Yi's ancestor Xu Chu's meritorious work. When the armies heard this, they were all terrified and afraid.
Because the Shu army did not strictly defend the choke point and dangerous valley, Luogu and Meridian Valley, it was occupied by the Wei army. Zhong Hui then marched in several ways, straight into Hanzhong, Zhong Hui let the protector Xun Kai, the former general Li Fu each lead 10,000 people, respectively surrounded Hancheng and Lecheng, led the main force straight down to Yang'an Pass, beheaded Shu general Fu Yan, surrendered Jiang Shu, followed Keguan City, and drove south. After Zhong Hui left Yang'ankou in the west, he sent people to worship Zhuge Liang's tomb and ordered the soldiers not to graze horses and chop wood near his tomb. And Dong Ju and Zhang Yi had just arrived in Hanshou with their army, so they had no choice but to join forces with Jiang Wei.
According to the records of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Han Dynasty, when Fu Tong and Jiang Shu defended Yang'an Pass, Jiang Shu planned to surrender, so he deceived Fu Tong and said: "Now that the Wei army has arrived, it is not a good way to close the city and defend itself without attacking." Fu Yi replied: "We were ordered to keep the city, as long as we hold the city, it is a credit, today we disobey the order to go to war, if the army is defeated, let down the country, in vain death is useless." Jiang Shu said: "You take the credit of keeping the city, and I take the credit of going out to break the enemy, please do our own thing." So he led his army out of the city. Fu Lie thought that Jiang Shu was going to fight, but Jiang Shu surrendered to the Wei general Hu Lie, and Hu Lie took advantage of the emptiness in defense to attack Yang'an Pass, and Fu Lie fought to death. The people of Wei admired his righteous behavior.
On the other hand, Deng Ai ordered Tianshui Taishou Wang Qi to attack Jiang Wei's camp directly, and ordered Longxi Taishou Xianhong and others to invite Jiang Wei's front, while ordered Jincheng Taishou Yang Xin to attack Gansong. Jiang Weiwen Zhonghui and other troops had entered Hanzhong, knowing that Hanzhong was difficult to protect, he hurriedly got rid of Deng Ai and retreated to Yinping. Yang Xin and others pursued until the mouth of the Xinjiang River, the two sides fought, Jiang Wei was defeated and retreated, and was blocked by Zhuge Xu, who preemptively occupied the bridgehead (southeast of Yinping). Jiang Wei made a pretend from Kong Hangu to the north and wanted to detour to the east, making the appearance of sending troops to attack the rear of Zhuge Xu, and luring Zhuge Xu to leave the bridgehead for thirty miles to block the attack to the north, Jiang Wei took the opportunity to quickly pass through the bridgehead. Zhuge Xu rushed to intercept it, but he missed a day and didn't catch up.
Zhong Hui also sent Hu Lie and others to go in front of him, break through the city, and get the grain stored there. Jiang Wei wanted to return to Guancheng after withdrawing from the city, but before he arrived, he heard that Guancheng had fallen, so he retreated to Baishui and defended the Sword Pavilion against Zhonghui with Zhang Yi and Liao Hua. Zhong Hui issued a notice to persuade the soldiers and civilians of Shu to surrender.
In this way, although Cao Wei's intention to annihilate Jiang Wei in one fell swoop failed to materialize, he had already invaded Hanzhong, opened many passes, and laid the foundation for further southward crusade against Shu Han.
【Jiang Wei Shoujian Pavilion】
Deng Ai pursued Jiang Wei until Yinping, selected elite soldiers, and wanted to enter Jiangyou and Zuo Dan Road from Han Deyang, reach Mianzhu, approach Cheng Capital, and prepare to move forward with Zhuge Xu. Zhuge Xu was originally ordered to intercept Jiang Wei, but the imperial court did not let him march westward, so he marched to Baishui and joined Zhonghui. Zhong Hui sent Tian Zhang and others from the southwest of the Sword Pavilion to Jiangyou. After marching less than 100 miles, Tian Zhang first broke through the three camps of the Xishu ambush, and Deng Ai made Tian Zhang the vanguard and drove straight in. Zhong Hui and Zhuge Xu's troops went straight to the Sword Pavilion. Zhong Hui wanted to monopolize the military power and reported to the imperial court, saying that Zhuge Xu was afraid to advance, so he escorted Zhuge Xu into a prisoner car and transported it back to the capital, and the army was led by Zhong Hui and attacked the Sword Pavilion.
In history, the sword pavilion is majestic and Cui Wei, a husband is a pass, ten thousand people are not open, there are connected small sword mountains and big sword mountains in the west, the terrain is steep, the road is small and the valley is deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Jiang Wei took advantage of this kind of terrain that is conducive to defense, and the strength of Zhang Yi, Liao Hua and others is enough, so he camped here to guard the danger.
Zhong Hui first sent a letter to persuade Jiang Wei: "The prince is virtuous in civil and military affairs, Huaimai Shizhi, meritorious in Jiba, Han, and has a smooth voice in China, and he is famous from far and near." Every time in the past, taste the same Dahua, Wu Za, Zheng Qiao, can be good. However, Jiang Wei didn't listen, and when Jiang Wei was defending with danger, Zhong Hui couldn't attack the Sword Pavilion, and there was nothing to do. When the Wei army was unable to continue due to military rations, Zhong Hui prepared to retreat.
However, at this time, Deng Ai smuggled through Yinping and entered Shuzhong in one fell swoop, turning the situation around!
