The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 171 The Sima Family's Knife
In April 264 AD, with Wei Guan as the leader, more than ten generals, more than 700 school lieutenants and more than [-] military officers were captured after Cao Wei's expedition to Shu Han was defeated.Released by the Shu Han, passed through Chang'an, and then returned to Luoyang.

Since the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, infantry has become an independent military branch.In the establishment of the ancient Chinese army, the lowest-ranking officer was the corps leader, and together with himself, there were five soldiers in total.Above the Wu, what is there, why is the officer long.Even there is a song, the officer is called the military marquis.Above the song, there are parts.In the Han Dynasty, the chief of the Ministry was called Xiaowei.Generally, the troops led by a school lieutenant are about 1000 people.This is the most basic organization in the ancient army.When the armed forces of the Han Dynasty were strong, often a department could independently perform some combat tasks.

Above the department, there is no fixed establishment.Free grouping is often carried out according to the needs of the battle.Or several ministries together, or dozens or even hundreds of ministries together.And the chiefs who command this extremely large number of ministries are either Zhonglang 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 rank.But in order to prevent the captives from being completely disorganized, the Chief Shi and the Corporal Chief must stay. In terms of status, the Chief Shi and the Corporal Chief are not officers, but soldiers.

Originally, according to Guan Yi's original intention, the senior generals such as Wei Guan could of course be sent back.But these low-level officers like lieutenants and military marquises 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, new troops can be formed quickly.Therefore, in the simple negotiation with Sima Zhao, he made it very clear: the family members of Wang Qi and others can be sent to Hanzhong, but the premise is that, in addition to Wei Guan and others returning, all officers above the military rank must also be released. return.Otherwise, he would try his best not to kill Wei Guan and the others, but also to punish the family members of Wang Qi and the others...

Well, your uncle's barbarian clans made not only the entire Cao Wei monarchs, ministers and people frightened, even I was afraid of you.Go, go, give it all back to you.With these 800 more mouths to help me publicize, I am afraid that the name of Warcraft, which is Guan Crazy, will be more prestigious in Cao Wei's country.

"Criminal generals Wei Guan, Hu Lie, Yuan Qing, Ju'an, Xia Houxian, Qiu Jian...give a visit to the King of Jin. We have lost our teacher and humiliated the country. It is a great crime. I implore the King of Jin to punish us..."

You guys have committed a great crime!Turning Lao Tzu's well-organized kingship into a mess and forcing him to take over... With my heart, I really want to forget all of you as barbarians!
It's a pity that this kind of thinking is just thinking about it. In fact, it is impossible to do so.

Let's talk about Weiguan first, he is a representative of the Hedong clan.The Wei family of Anyi in Hedong and the Pei family of Wenxi in Hedong are hard-core allies who have repeatedly intermarried with each other for many years.Killing Wei Guan will not only dissatisfy the Hedong Wei family, but also the Wenxi Pei family.This is likely to cause the loss of stability in Hedong County.And where is Hadong County?He is close to Hanoi County, the home of the Sima family, and is the northern barrier of Luoyang and Cao Wei's largest granary at present-there, the state has set up Diannong Zhonglang to be in charge of large state-owned farms full-time.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 the stability of Hedong.

Not to mention that Wei Guan married Sima Yan early on. 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.Moreover, although Wei Guan's youngest daughter is only five years old this year, she is already an outstanding beauty.Sima Yan also wanted to bring this little girl into his home in the future, and make him a daughter-in-law for his second son Sima Zhong (the mentally handicapped emperor of later generations who would "why not eat minced meat")... If he wanted to kill Wei Guan, Sima Yan would be afraid Will you be the first to jump up against it?

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

The Hu family came from Anding County, Yongzhou.Although Anding County belongs to Yongzhou in terms of administrative division, it is closer to Liangzhou in terms of terrain and customs.Therefore, the Hu family is actually the representative of the Liangzhou aristocratic family in the Luoyang court.The Hu family's support for the Sima family meant Liangzhou's support for the Sima family.And Liangzhou, please, that place is next to Xishu!On that hateful Jiang Wei's head, in addition to the title of a puppet general of Xishu, there is also a title of a puppet Liangzhou shepherd.For more than 40 years, what Xishu has always wanted to do is to take Liangzhou first, and then take Yongzhou.If Hu Lie was killed, the Hu family would be dissatisfied.Will Liangzhou be in chaos?
Besides, who is Hu Lie's father?Hu Zun, the avant-garde general.Although this old ghost has been hanging for several years.But in the past, he was not only a general of Wei, but also a general of Zhengdong. He fought in the south and north for decades, and there are many old students and old officials in the Luoyang Chinese army.Hu Lie's eldest brother, Hu Guang, is now the young mansion of the Cao Wei court.What is Shaofu doing?It is dedicated to managing the private money of the emperor!Where is Hu Lie's second brother, Hu Fen?The current governor of Xuzhou is Cao Wei's rear area.Let alone chaos.And Hu Fen is still a famous general!Zhuge Dan was beheaded by him.If you kill Hu Lie, will you kill Hu Fen?If you want to kill Hu Fen, what if Hu Fen launches a rebellion in Xuzhou?What's more, Hu Fen's daughter is already Sima Yan's concubine.This is an arrangement for Sima Yan to secure the throne after he ascends to the throne in the future...to wipe out the three Hu clans?What are you kidding?
Next?Juan?This person cannot be killed either.Because, although this person is not as involved as the previous two.But this person is even more unkillable than the previous two!

After decades of fighting with Xishu, those wild monkeys in the mountains are much more difficult to deal with than those aristocratic families in Soochow who surrendered at the slightest disagreement. After decades, no more than ten people will surrender in Xishu!This sentence An is already the only living Western Shu general in the court of Cao Wei. If Gou An is killed here, who will surrender in the future?So no matter what, this benchmark must be kept!
The next one is Yuan Qing 彡.Well, the Yuan family used to be brilliant, but now it has completely declined.Just like Qiu Jian in the back.Killing you makes no political sense.So, count yourself lucky.

The next one is Xia Houxian.Ok?Xiahou!Well, it is you who will kill!

Although Mr. Sima Zhao activated the big killer of the Yi tribe at every turn.But as a good politician.Sima Zhao didn't kill people indiscriminately.His killing is exquisite.

Specifically for this batch of descendants.First of all, Deng Ai and his son had been beheaded because of the two commanders in the Shu army.And Zhong Hui fled far away to Soochow.Therefore, someone in this group of people must die, otherwise this big defeat will not be explained away.Secondly, among this group of people, some people can't be killed, and some people's killing doesn't make much sense.Therefore, the only choice is Xia Houxian.

Who gave you the surname Xiahou?Who made Xiahou the original second shareholder of Caowei Co., Ltd.?Who told Cao Cao that this Cao was originally from Xiahou?
So, if you don't kill you, who will you kill?
In April 264 AD, the Xiangguo Mansion of Cao Wei issued a series of orders, which can be regarded as a summary and corresponding adjustments for this campaign against Shu.

General Deng Ai and his son Deng Zhong were loyal to the king's affairs and died for the country.Posthumously presented Deng Ai as a chariot general, posthumously titled "Marquis Zhuang".His son, Deng Zhong, was a posthumous gift to General Zuo.His posthumous title is 'Liehou'.The generals who died under his command Shi Zuan, Yang Xin, Tian Zhang and others all had posthumous titles and posthumous gifts.

General Zhong Hui of Zhenxi acted improperly, causing the entire army of 18 to be annihilated.Trial in absentia was beheading.Zhong Yu's third son, Zhong Yong, who followed him this time, was also beheaded in absentia.At the same time, they went to sea to catch documents, and the whole world pursued them.Zhong Yu's fourth son, Zhong Yi, who lived with Zhong Hui for a long time, was actually Zhong Hui's adopted son and beheaded.Because Zhong Hui's brother Zhong Yu had stated in advance that Zhong Hui might rebel before this expedition, Zhong Yu's eldest son Zhong Jun and second son Zhong Yu were in fact raised by Zhong Yu, so they were not guilty.At the same time, given that Zhong Yu 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 family of Yingchuan.

Sima Wang, General of Wei, was changed to General Zhengxi, and returned to Chang'an.Du Yu served as the governor of the general's mansion and the supervisor of the army.At the same time, [-] Chinese troops and [-] Qingxu troops were transferred, and [-] Yongzhou civilians were recruited to join the army.Reorganize the Yongzhou Legion.Yuanqing, Ju'an, Qiu Jian and others were all under the command of General Zhengxi, and they made great contributions.

Hu Fen, governor of Xuzhou, has many military exploits over the years.He was the governor of Yongzhou, with the title of General Zhenxi.He led [-] Qingxu Army and [-] Bingzhou Army to station in Jincheng (Lanzhou) to rebuild the Longxi Army.Sanqi servant Wang Shen (the second son of Wang Chang, younger brother of Wang Hun) served as the governor of Zhenxi General's residence and supervised the army.Hu Yuan, Hu Lie's son, Wen Yang, Wen Hu and others were transferred to the general's residence in Zhenxi.

Sima Liang, general of Zhenxi, served as general of Zhennan, commander of the Jingzhou Army.Chen Qian, the former commander of the Jingzhou Legion, returned to the court and served as a general of hussars.

Sima Ni, the general who conquered the prisoners, served as the general of Zhendong, the commander of the Yangzhou Army.Shi Bao, the former commander of the Yangzhou Army, returned to the court and served as the general of chariots and cavalry.

Sima Jun, General Anton, served as governor of Xuzhou.The Xuzhou Corps was reorganized.

Sima Xun, the son of Kaiping, served as the prefect of Weijun.Sima Lun became the county magistrate of Yecheng.The two brothers were stationed in Yecheng together with He Zeng, General Zhengbei - the warden of the Cao Clan Prison.

In the end, of course, the guilty general Xia Houxian was afraid of the enemy and did not move forward.When Yang'anguan just fell into the enemy's hands, it failed to launch an effective attack in the first place.He is the first person directly responsible for the annihilation of the entire army in this expedition to Shu.There is no pardon.The barbarians wiped out the three tribes.

So far, the Sima family has made a series of adjustments to let relatives of the family go out to various places in the town, completely grasping the military power of the whole country in the hands of their own family for the first time.At the same time, through the extermination of the three clans of Xiahou and Xian, the Cao Wei Xiahou family, which had already declined to the extreme, almost disappeared from the court, and further deterred the rest of the family.Finally, it was able to recover a little from the crisis caused by the forced supremacy.
