Chapter 039: Zhuge Birthday Rebellion

Although Zhuge Dan's determination to rebel was not as strong as Wang Ling and Biqiu Jian, the scale of Zhuge Dan's rebellion was much larger than the earlier two because it united Sun Wu, and the time of civil strife lasted for nearly a year, which was far stronger than the previous two.

[Countermeasures of all parties]

At the beginning of Zhuge Dan's rebellion, those who discussed the matter asked for an immediate crusade against the Huainan army, but Sima Zhao said: "Zhuge Dan thinks that Wu Qiu Jian's rash and hasty actions led to failure, and today he will inevitably connect with Wu Kou, so that the scale of the rebellion is large and the action is slow." I can unite with the generals of the Quartet and subdue him with a total victory. So he said to the Son of Heaven: "In the past, the cloth was rebellious, and the ancestor of Han Gaozu personally conquered; Kui Huan disobeyed, and Emperor Guangwu went west; Emperor Liezu Ming drove many expeditions in person, all in order to boost morale and show off his might. Your Majesty should be present in the army for the time being, so that the soldiers can take advantage of the power of heaven. Today, there are about 500,000 thieves and outnumbered by the multitude, and there is no one who is invincible. ”

In July of the same year, he escorted the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager to the east, recruited soldiers and horses from Qing, Xu, Jing and Henan, and divided part of the army from Guanzhong to join Huaibei. When the army arrived, he asked the court lieutenant He Zhen to send an envoy to Huainan with Fu Jie to comfort the rebel soldiers and affirm the imperial court's policy of reversing the punishment and rewarding obedience. Sima Zhao marched to Qiutou and sent Zhendong general Wang Ji and Andong general Chen Qian to surround Shouchun, and sent Shi Bao and Zhou Tai to lead troops to resist Wu soldiers.

Wu sent more than 30,000 people, including Wen Qin, Tang Zhi, Quan Duan, and Quan Yi, to save Zhuge Dan, and Wei Zhu was attacked and could not resist, so they all broke into Shouchun City. Li Guang, the general of the Wei side, cowered in front of the enemy, and Taishan was too conservative to claim that he was sick and did not send troops, and he was beheaded to show the public.

【Wu Jun Retreats】

At that time, Sima Zhao sent Shi Bao to lead the Qingzhou armies, and supervised Yanzhou Thorn Shi Tai and Xuzhou Thorn Shi Hu Zhen (Hu Zhen was recorded in the Jin Book, but Hu Zhen should have died a few years ago at that time), and selected elite troops as the guerrilla army to guard against the support of Eastern Wu on the periphery of Shouchun.

The Eastern Wu side appointed Zhu Yi as the governor of the False Festival, and led 30,000 people to live in Anfeng. Cao Wei Yanzhou Assassin Shi Zhoutai led his army to engage Zhu Yi, and Zhu Yi was defeated, with 2,000 dead and wounded. Sun Qi personally led a large army into Tunwoli, and sent Zhu Yi to lead an army of 50,000 troops of Ding Feng, Li Fei and others to attack Cao Wei. At that time, Zhu Yitun was in Lizhi, and sent the generals Ren Du and Zhang Zhen to recruit 6,000 brave people, and built a pontoon bridge to cross the Huai River at night at six miles in Tunxi, preparing to build a half-moon-shaped barracks. Zhu Yi made siege weapon crates to besiege Wumu City, and returned defeated again. At the same time, Wei Taishan Taishou Hu Lie attacked Wu Juntun from the small road with 5,000 surprise soldiers, and burned all the armaments, grain and grass of Zhu Yi's army.

Sun Qi sent another 30,000 troops to order Zhu Yi to fight to the death with the Wei army, Zhu Yi did not comply, Sun Qi was furious, and asked Zhu Yi to go to meet him. At this time, Chai Sangdu, who followed Zhu Yi's army to fight, and Lu Kang, the general of Fenwei, stopped him from going to see Sun Qi, and Zhu Yi said: "Zitong, family ears, what should you be suspicious of!" So he insisted on going. When Sun Qi saw Zhu Yi, he immediately asked Lux to grab him from his seat. Zhu Yi said: "I, a loyal minister of Wu State, what is the crime? But Sun Qi still ordered Zhu Yi to be executed, and instead sent his younger brother Sun En to bluff to the rescue, but because he felt unable to fight again, he retreated to Jianye.

【Defeat Shouchun】

In Shouchun, the general Sima Zhao led an army of 260,000 and sent Wang Ji and Andong general Chen Qian to surround the city on all sides, surround the city twice, dig trenches and build fortresses. Wen Qin and others tried to break out of the encirclement several times, but they were all repulsed.

According to the record of "Ganbao Jin Ji": At the beginning, there would be heavy rain in the Shouchun area every year, and the Huai River would rise as soon as it rained, and it would be flooded until it was under the city of Shouchun. So Zhuge Dan was very happy to see Sima Zhao camping under the city, and he said: "It is a self-defeat without attacking." But what he didn't expect was that since Sima Zhao set up camp, there hasn't been a drop of rain, which is a rare drought.

After Sun Wu retreated, Zhuge Dan's generals Jiang Ban and Jiao Yi persuaded Zhuge Dan to lead the main force to attack one side in order to break through the siege and not to be trapped in Shouchun; However, Wen Qin believed that the rescue of Eastern Wu would come, and persuaded Zhuge to hold on. Zhuge Dan did not listen to Jiang Ban's advice, and even intended to kill the two, so the two escaped from the city and surrendered to the Wei army.

At that time, Quan Yi, Sun Quanduan, Quan Pian, and Quan Zhi, the sons of Sima Quancong, the right great Sima of Eastern Wu, led a large army to rescue Zhuge Dan. Quan Yi's brother's sons Quan Hui and Quan Yi stayed in Jianye because the two of them got into a lawsuit, crossed the river with their mother and dozens of Qubu, and surrendered to Sima Zhao. Zhong Hui designed and secretly wrote a letter for Quan Hui and Quan Yi, and sent Quan Yi and Quan Hui's family members into the city to send a letter to Quan Yi, saying that Lord Wu was furious because Quan Yi and others could not take Shouchun, and wanted to kill his family, so he fled to the north. When Quan Yi and the others heard the news, they were terrified and uneasy, so Kaesong surrendered. Those who surrendered were courteous, and from then on, Zhuge in the city began to turn away from people's hearts.

In the first month of the third year of Ganlu (258), Zhuge Dan, Wen Qin, Tang Shi and others made many offensive weapons, and for five or six consecutive days, day and night, forcibly broke through from the south. The besieging army fired stones from high places with catapults, burned the siege equipment with rockets, and rained down arrows and stones, and the corpses were all over the field, and blood flowed all over the trenches. Zhuge Dan and the others could only retreat into the city again.

Food in the city was increasingly scarce, and tens of thousands of people surrendered out of the city, and Wen Qin wanted to drive all the northerners out in order to save food and hold on with Wu. Zhuge Dan did not accept this opinion, so the two were estranged. Wen Qin originally had a conflict with Zhuge Dan. It's just that they are brought together because of special matters, and the more urgent the matter, the less they trust each other. Wen Qin was dissatisfied when he saw that Zhuge had to plan everything, so Zhuge killed Wen Qin. Wen Qinzi, Wen Yang and Wen Hu, knew that Wen Qin had been killed, so they surrendered to Sima Zhao. Wen Yang and the two were rewarded, which made Shouchun's soldiers and civilians lose their will to fight.

In the end, Sima Zhao conquered Shouchun in February, Zhuge Dan's soldiers were defeated and fled out of the city, and were killed by Hu Fen's soldiers, and hundreds of people under Zhuge Dan's command were captured in Shouchun, resolutely refusing to surrender, and said: "Die for Zhuge Gong, don't hate." "At the time of execution, they lined up, and for each beheaded person, they recruited a person, but no one surrendered.

Wu Jiangquan also died in battle, Tang Shi and Wang Zuo and others surrendered, Sima Zhao also gave them knights, and the soldiers who were hungry and sick were provided with food and medicine. Some people say that Wu Bing must not serve us, and ask that they be buried alive. Sima Zhao said: "Let them go back to show the magnanimity of Great Wei." "Later they were relocated to the Three Rivers. In April of that year, Sima Zhao returned to Beijing, and Emperor Wei changed Qiutou to Wuqiu to demonstrate martial arts.

In May of the third year of Ganlu (258), after pacifying the rebellion of Zhuge Festival, Emperor Wei named Sima Zhao as the Duke of Jin, and the fief included Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Leping, Xinxing, Yanmen and Hedong and Pingyang in Sizhou, a total of eight counties, 700 miles of places, plus nine tin, Jin Xiangguo, and the Jin State Mansion was in the middle of the lawsuit. Sima Zhao resigned nine times, and the Son of Heaven reluctantly agreed. So he increased the number of feudal households by 10,000 and ate the tax of the three counties. Among the sons who did not have a knighthood, they were all made princes.

【Huainan Three Rebellions】

The Three Rebellions of Huainan were the counterattacks of the conservative forces within Cao Wei against the Sima family's ruling faction, and the three rebellions occurred during the reign of Sima Yi, Sima Shi, and Sima Zhao, but these three rebellions failed, and the Sima family successfully eradicated the forces that supported Emperor Wei.

After Sima Zhao accepted the position of Duke of Jin and Xiangguo, Emperor Cao Chao of Wei finally took a risky step and launched the Manna Change.
