【Nanchu Rebellion】

In the summer of the first year of Jianxing (223), Zhu Bao, the Taishou of Qiqi County, occupied the county and rebelled. Previously, Yizhou County had a strong clan Yonghong rebelled, exiled the county Taishou Zhang to Eastern Wu, occupied the county and refused to surrender, and Gao Ding, the king of Yuewangyi, also rebelled. The four counties of Nanzhong, Yuewang, Yongchang, Qiqi, and Yizhou were in chaos for a while.

At that time, the people of Yizhou County killed the county Tai Shou Zhengang, and there was an elderly leader, Yong Hong, who had a high prestige and reputation in the south, so he sent people around, and also went to Sun Quan to intercede. Unexpectedly, the imperial court made Zhang Yi the Taishou of Yizhou and went straight to the county office to take office. Yonghong was so awkward and unconvinced, he used the ghost sect to encourage people and said: "Zhang Fujun is like a gourd, although the outside is bright but the inside is actually very rough, it is not worth killing him, I order you to tie him up and send him to Wu State." So they escorted Zhang Yi to Sun Quan, and was later invited back by Deng Zhi.

After Liu Bei's death, Yonghong became even more arrogant and cunning. Du Hu Li Yan wrote a six-piece letter to Yonghong, explaining to Yonghong that the situation had changed drastically, but Yonghong only replied to the letter on a piece of paper, saying: "I heard that there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords in the country, such as today, but there are three different calendars in use, so people in remote places are deeply confused and do not know where to belong." "Yonghong's arrogance is mostly like this. Yonghong later accepted Shixie's lure to surrender to Wu State, and Wu Guoyao awarded Yonghong as Yongchang Taishou.

Yongchang County is located in the western part of the Yizhou region, the road is blocked, isolated from Shu County, and the post of Taishou is transferred to others, Lu Kai and Fu Cheng, Shu County Wang Yan together led and inspired the officials and people, closed the four borders to resist Yonghong. Yonghong repeatedly issued documents to Yongchang to persuade Lu Kai. Lu Kai replied to Yonghong (Note 1) with righteous words, refusing to surrender. Lu Kai's benevolence and prestige were known throughout the county, so the people of the county trusted him, so he was able to preserve his honor.

In addition to Yonghong, Zhu Bao killed Yizhou to engage in Changfang Yongjun to respond to Yonghong, and Meng Huo followed Yonghong, the surname of Yizhou County, to raise troops against Shu Han, and induced the Yi people to rebel, and Gao Ding also participated in Yonghong's actions.

According to the record of "Wei's Spring and Autumn Period", at the beginning, Yizhou was engaged in the Changfang Department, and when he heard that he would have different aspirations, he would accept his master book and kill him. Praise and anger, attack and kill the house, and falsely accuse him of rebellion. Zhuge Liang punished the sons of the house, and moved his fourth brother Yu Yuejun, wanting to settle down. The praise was not changed, so the county rebelled against Yonghong.

【Suppression of the Rebellion】

Earlier, the Nanzhong region took the opportunity to rebel due to Liu Bei's death, and Zhuge Liang did not send troops because the country had just lost its monarch. Instead, they should concentrate on developing agriculture, growing grain, sticking to the passes, allowing the people to recuperate, and only after the people's lives are stable and there is enough food will the people's power be used.

In the third year of Jianxing (225), Zhuge Liang personally led the army to crusade against Yonghong after he was ready.

According to the record of "Xiangyang Ji", in the third year of Jianxing (225), Zhuge Liang led the army to defeat Yonghong, and Ma Jian sent him off for dozens of miles. Zhuge Liang said: "Although we have been planning this matter together for many years, today I ask you to put forward a good plan again." ”

Ma Tan said: "Nanzhong relies on the dangerous terrain and the long distance, and the rebellion has been unyielding for a long time. Even if we crush it today, tomorrow they will rebel. At the moment you are preparing to concentrate the forces of the whole country on the Northern Expedition against the bandits, who know that there is an emptiness within the country and will accelerate the rebellion. If they were all killed to get rid of the troubles, it would not be the work of the benevolent people, nor would it be possible to do so in a short time. The principle of using troops to fight is to attack the heart as the top and the city as the bottom; With psychological warfare as the top and hand-to-hand combat as the bottom, I hope you can make it sincerely subdued. Zhuge Liang took Ma Yan's suggestion. Soon, Zhuge Liang won a complete victory, and pardoned Meng Shu according to Ma Yan's words, so that the hearts of the people in the south were subjugated, so when Zhuge Liang was alive, the south did not dare to rebel again.

At that time, Zhuge Liang divided his troops to the south, and he personally led an army from Chengdu on the left road, and attacked Yueshan County from Anshang County by water; Don't send Li Hui to march on the middle road, start from Pingyi and attack Yizhou County according to the road; Ma Zhong, the subordinate governor of the gate, attacked the rebellion of Ke County from the right flank.

Li Hui's lone army went deeper, and the rebels from all counties of Jianning County (that is, Yizhou County) gathered into a large group of men and horses to surround Li Hui's army in Dianchi County. At that time, the number of rebels was several times that of the Han army, and there was no news from Zhuge Liang, so the situation was very serious. Li Hui then tricked Nanyi and said: "The officers and soldiers have run out of food and grass, and they are ready to withdraw their troops and go back." Some of us have been away from our homes for a long time, and now we have the opportunity to return, and if we can't return to the north, we intend to plan something great with you, so I am here to tell you frankly. The Nanyi rebels believed Li Hui's words, so they slackened off on the defense of the encirclement. Li Hui seized the opportunity to take the initiative to attack, defeated the Nanyi rebels, and chased the remnants of the defeated enemy, south to Panjiang, east to Qiqi, and Zhuge Liang's army was connected.

At the same time, the other two routes of the Han army were also victorious. Ma Zhongbei led an army to attack Qiqi County, defeated the rebels, and killed Zhu Bao. Zhuge Liang went deep into the barren land to crusade against Yonghong and Meng Huo, Zhuge Liang took the suggestion of joining the army Ma Yan, focusing on attacking the heart, first defeated the Yonghong army, Yonghong was killed by Gao Ding's subordinates, and then captured seven Meng Huo seven vertically, and pacified all the chaos in the autumn.

According to the record of "Spring and Autumn of the Han Dynasty", Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han Dynasty arrived in Nanzhong to fight the rebellion, and he was victorious wherever he went. Meng Shu cleaned up the remnants of Yonghong and resisted Zhuge Liang. Meng Huo won the trust of the local Han and Yi people, Zhuge Liang wanted to capture Meng Huo alive, and later captured Meng Huo, let him visit the military camp of the Shu army, and asked him: "How is such an army?" Meng Shu said: "I didn't know your reality before, so I was defeated. Now that you have allowed me to visit your barracks, I will be able to easily win if your army were just such an army. Zhuge Liang smiled, released Meng Shu, and asked him to fight again. After releasing Meng Huo back seven times, and capturing him seven times, Zhuge Liang still released Meng Shu, but Meng Huo didn't leave anymore, and said to Zhuge Liang: "You have Tianwei, the southerners will not rebel again!" So Zhuge Liang arrived at Dianchi Lake.

The four counties of Nanzhong, Yizhou, Yongchang, Ke, and Yue were all pacified, and Zhuge Liang still appointed the original local leaders as the local officials of the four counties. Some people advised Zhuge Liang not to do this, Zhuge Liang said: "If you keep outsiders as officials, you must stay in the army, and if you stay in the army, it will be difficult to supply grain, which is the first problem; These Yi people have just suffered from war, and many of their fathers and brothers have been killed and wounded, and their grievances have not been extinguished, and there must be disasters when they appoint outsiders instead of stationing in the army, which is the second problem; These Yi rebels have repeatedly killed and deposed officials, knowing that they are guilty, and they are very far away from us, and if they leave outsiders as officials, it will be difficult for them to trust them after all, and this is the third problem. Now I want to keep the army and not transfer grain, so that the laws and regulations and political discipline can be generally implemented, and the Yi and Han people can settle down. ”

【Post-War Reward】

After the rebellion in Nanzhong was all put down, Zhuge Liang changed Yizhou County to Jianning County, divided Jianning and Yongchang County into YN County, and divided Jianning and Qiqi into Xinggu County.

After the war, Li Hui made the most meritorious contributions, and was named the Marquis of Hanxing Pavilion and added a tribute to General An Han. After Zhuge Liang arrived in the south, he said to the imperial court: "Yongchang County official Lu Kai, Fucheng Wang and others, in the border areas have been loyal to the imperial court for more than ten years, Yonghong and Gao Ding coerced them in their northeast, and Lu Kai and others adhered to justice and did not associate with them. Weichen didn't expect that the customs of the Yongchang area would be so honest and upright! So he appointed Lu Kai as the Taishou of YN and named the Marquis of Yangqian Pavilion. Before Lü Kai could take office, he was killed by other rebellious minorities, and his son Lü Xiang inherited the title. In addition, Zhuge Liang is the wife of Yongchang Taishou and the Marquis of Fengting.

Note 1: Kai replied: "The sky is in turmoil, the traitor takes advantage of the provocation, the world gnashes his teeth, all the countries mourn, the concubines are big and small, all the strength is exhausted, the liver and brain are smeared on the ground, in order to eliminate the national disaster." General Fu Wei received Han's grace in the world, thinking that he should gather the party and take the lead in setting off, reporting the country to the top, and living up to the ancestors. When is the servant Wu Yue, the back is at the end? In the past, Shunqin was civil, fell in the cangwu, and the books were good, and the sound was endless. collapsed in Jiangpu, how sad! Wen and Wu were ordered to become Wang Naiping. The first emperor Longxing, looking at the wind in the sea, Zaichen is wise, and he descends from the sky. And the general does not see the era of prosperity and decline, the charm of success and failure, such as wildfire in the plain, walking on the river ice, fire extinguishing the ice, what will be attached to? The general of the first monarch Yonghou, the resentment and sealing, Dou Rong Zhixing, returning to the ancestors, are all famous after the leaves, and the world song is beautiful. Today, Prime Minister Zhuge stands out, sees the unbudding, is lonely, praises Ji Xing, has no taboo with the public, and forgets the flaws. If the general can change the map and change the traces, it will not be difficult for the ancients to chase, and the land will be slaughtered! Gai heard that the Chu State was disrespectful, Qi Huan was responsible, the husband was wrong, the Jin people were not long, and the situation was subordinate to the non-master, who was willing to return to the evil? Stealing the ancient meaning, there is no cross-border friendship, and there is no contact before and after. Bear the notice, be angry and forget to eat, so he omitted what he had, but the general observed it. ”
