Chapter 165 1. Jiang Wei's Nine Expeditions to the Central Plains

Zhuge Liang is dead, but the spotlight of history is still on the stage of Shu Han.Because there is Jiang Wei.He is here, and Xishu will still persevere with his vitality in a unique tossing method. When it comes to Jiang Wei's Nine Expeditions to the Central Plains, three of these four characters are wrong, and only one of the nine characters is correct.In history, Jiang Wei did use troops nine times, but the locations were not close to the Central Plains. The first time, in the eleventh year of Yanxi, Jiang Wei applied to use troops against Wei, but General Fei Yi was not happy.It is really strange that Fei Yi's name should appear in history.He may be the most incompetent general in history, and his ingenious way of death can be used as a cornerstone of this conclusion.

At that time, there was a man named Guo Xiu, who was from Xiping County. Jiang Wei once occupied Xiping County, tied up all the local people with fat meat tickets, and tied them to the Kingdom of Shu to pay taxes.This Guo Xiu was taken captive in this incident.After arriving in the Kingdom of Shu, he made a positive statement, saying that he loves the Kingdom of Shu, and he quickly stood out and was trusted by General Fei Yi. One day, the great general Fei Yi invited his friends to drink, and there was Guo Xiu on the wine table.General Fei Yi died just like that, so it can be seen that this person's level is really a bit unreliable.What is even more unreliable is Guo Xiu. No one understands why he and Fei Yi died together. What is the reason?Motivation?It seems that there are none.

Now, Fei Yi, an unreliable general, is leading the people of Shu to a well-off life. Of course, he will not support Jiang Wei's military actions. He even said to Jiang Wei, "Can you take a rest, huh? Can you please stop making trouble? How can we destroy the Wei State when even the prime minister can't figure it out?" In the end, Fei Yi only gave Jiang Wei 10,000 people. As a result, Jiang Wei went out and traveled to Longxi, where he was beaten back by Wei General Deng Ai. The next year, Fei Yi still only gave Jiang Wei 10,000 soldiers and let Jiang Wei fight.Jiang Wei didn't dare to go to Shanggui or Wuzhangyuan. Zhuge Liang usually brought one hundred thousand troops with him when he went to such a place. With such a small force, Jiang Wei could only go around Qinghai, wandered around for a while, and then came back. .This is Jiang Wei's second use of troops.

Finally, when Fei Yi was inexplicably killed by Guo Xiu, Jiang Wei took the opportunity to organize the third deployment of troops, bringing 30,000 to 40,000 horses, and rushed to Nan'an aggressively.But this broken Nan'an could not be attacked by any means. Soon Wei Guo's reinforcements arrived, and Jiang Wei had to retreat. The next year, Jiang Wei fought Di Daoxiangwu again. This battle was really beautiful, and the common people in three counties were captured and tied up with fat tickets forcibly.There are too many wars in the Kingdom of Shu, and the people are not enough, so they can only go to other countries to rob them.This is Jiang Wei's fourth use of troops.

For the fifth time, Jiang Wei finally reached his level.This time, Jiang Wei's strength suddenly increased because Xia Houba from Wei State came to join the gang.Xia Houba jumped to Shu because the Sima family became more and more powerful in Wei, and Cao Cao's family couldn't get along anymore, so they could only go to Xishu.This time Jiang Wei and Xia Houba joined forces to fight against Yongzhou, killing tens of thousands of Wei soldiers, and the result was close to the era of Prime Minister Zhuge.The state of Wei was forced to send out a large army to fight, Jiang Wei took the opportunity to withdraw his troops, which made Wei soldiers half dead with anger.

For the sixth time, Jiang Wei was a little depressed again.Because he performed better in the fifth dispatch of troops, he was promoted to the rank of general. He assigned the former general of Zhenxi to Hu Ji, and he and Hu Ji split up to attack Duangu.Jiang Wei arrived at the designated place at the designated time, but Hu Ji was late. As a result, Jiang Wei was beaten badly by Wei general Deng Ai.After returning, Jiang Wei followed Prime Minister Zhuge's example, demoted himself, and severely criticized himself. The seventh time to use troops was selected by Zhuge Liang's cousin.Zhuge's family is very strange. Zhuge Liang is the prime minister in Xishu, his elder brother eats in Soochow, and his cousin Zhuge Dan works in Wei.At first, Zhuge Dan was doing well in Wei State, and he had a good reputation, but with the expansion of the Sima family's power, especially when Sima Zhao's intention to usurp became known to everyone, Zhuge Dan became more and more popular. Difficult to mix, and finally fell out.So Zhuge Dan led his troops to Dongwu, and challenged the state of Wei ever since.

Jiang Wei seized this opportunity, gathered tens of thousands of horses, passed through Luogu's small road, arrived under a small Great Wall built by Wei State, and challenged Sima Wang.Wei general Deng Aichao liked Bian Jiang Wei, and he got up to join after hearing the news. After that, Deng Ai and Sima Wang did not fight behind closed doors, deliberately dragging Jiang Wei down.In the end, Jiang Wei's food and grass were dragged out, so he had to retreat.When Liu Chan, the Empress of Shu, heard about it, he was overjoyed and resumed Jiang Wei's post as a general. This resumption of duties is the last honeymoon for Jiang Wei and Adou.After that, Jiang Wei persuaded Adou to stay away from the bad eunuch Huang Hao.A Dou was also kind, told Huang Hao about this, and asked Huang Hao to go to Jiang Weina to contact him.But Jiang Wei knew that he was in danger, a villain like Huang Hao would definitely plot against him.From then on, Jiang Wei did not dare to take half a step closer to Chengdu, and led his troops to seek refuge on the north bank of Taoshui.When Wei general Deng Ai heard about this, he was overjoyed, so he ran to kill Jiang Wei, and Jiang Wei fled to the southwest of Gansu.Although it was not Jiang Wei who took the initiative to send troops this time, being cut also proved that he was the pillar of the country, and he would not bother to kill you if he was not a pillar.So this time, even Jiang Wei used troops for the eighth time.

The ninth time was the most depressing time in Jiang Wei's life. That day he was plowing the fields in Dazhong, southwest of Gansu Province. Wei General Deng Ai brought 30,000 soldiers, and Niu Danghong challenged Jiang Wei.Jiang Wei and Deng Ai fought each other, and the hacking was in full swing, when Deng Ai suddenly said: "Old Jiang, I have a bad news and a good news, which one do you want to hear?" Jiang Wei asked suspiciously: "What's the news, you should tell the good news first." Deng Ai said: "The good news is that that bad eunuch Huang Hao, he can no longer plot against you. We will kill him for you."

Jiang Wei: "How could you kill Huang Hao? What's the bad news?" Deng Ai: "The bad news is that your Kingdom of Shu has perished." Jiang Wei: "You lied, you lied..." However, Deng Ai really didn't lie to Jiang Wei.This time, Sima Zhao personally led the team, and the troops were divided into three groups. The first group was Deng Ai, who led 30,000 troops to involve Jiang Wei.The second route was a man named Zhuge Xu, who also led 30,000 people to attack Qishan and cut off Jiang Wei's retreat.The third route is by Zhonghui, leading hundreds of thousands of people to cross the Qinling Mountains and enter Hanzhong.

When Jiang Wei heard this, he became anxious, left Deng Ai behind, and hurried back to the army, but was intercepted by Zhuge Xu on the way, and was successfully escaped by Jiang Wei.Unexpectedly, Deng Ai took the opportunity to cross the mountain from Yinping, crossing the five-person territory of seven hundred miles, and arrived in Chengdu. Adou, the empress of the Shu Han Dynasty, heard that Deng Ai's army had arrived and left the city to surrender.The foundation that Liu Bei painstakingly created was removed from the world just like that.
