Chapter 5 Han and Wei rebelled against the water, and the three families wiped out wisdom

Jinyang City was besieged for more than a year, and it was still standing until the spring of 453 BC.Xun Yao finally lost his patience, and he came up with a wicked way, taking advantage of the high spring water, ordered the soldiers to dig the dam of Jinshui, and divert Jinshui to flood Jinyang City. This trick saw the effect immediately. When Dong Anyu built Jinyang City, he considered all the worst possibilities, but he never thought that someone would use Jinshui to attack. The flood turned Jinyang City into a land of swamps, and the city wall above the water was only three or four feet high.No matter how much savings, no matter how good the defense is, it will be wiped out under the impact of the flood in an instant.The people in the city had no choice but to hoist the pots to cook, and the little food rescued from the water was quickly eaten up, and the tragedy of changing children to eat soon appeared.

Faced with all this, even Zhang Mengtan couldn't calm down. Guan Zhong once said that if the warehouse is real, you will know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.During the siege of Jinyang City for more than a year, the retainers' attitude towards Wuxie has always been respectful, with a clear distinction between master and slave.However, as food stocks dwindle and more people go hungry, this respect becomes fragile.Some people do not salute when Wu-shirts pass by, but raise their eyelids symbolically; some people deliberately make loud noises when eating with Wu-shirts, indicating that there is not much wheat mush in the bowl, and that it has not been there for many days. I have eaten meat.

There is only one person named Gao Gong who still calmly abides by the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, without any neglect because his belly is getting more and more flat. Wu Shih saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart. One day he deliberately walked up to the Communist Party of China, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "Thank you." Gao Gong lowered his head deeply, not letting Wu Shi see him crying. Wu Shirt sighed and said: "I know what you want to say, but you don't need to say anything. All of this will be over soon. In a few days, everyone will be too hungry to get up, Zhi Uncle Zhi can buy all the people around me with just a bag of steamed buns. At that time, please don’t do stupid things and live well, Uncle Zhi is actually a very good host.”

After saying this, Wuxie raised his head and looked at the Zhijun camp outside the city from a distance, as if he saw Xun Yao laughing triumphantly there. Xun Yao was indeed laughing, and she was getting carried away. One day, he sat in the same car with Wei Ju and Han Hu to inspect the enemy's situation.Looking at the Jinyang City swaying in the flood, Xun Yao said proudly: "I didn't know that water can destroy a country, but now I know. Jinshui can flood Jinyang, and Fen River can flood Pingyang. Water can also submerge Anyi!" After Xun Yao finished speaking, she laughed again.

Pingyang is the residence city of Han Hu, in today's Pingyang, Shanxi Province.Anyi is the residence of Wei Ju, in today's Xia County, Shanxi Province.Han and Wei were shocked when they heard this.Wei Ju secretly elbowed Han Hu, and Han Hu stepped on Wei Ju's shoe with his foot, both of them agreed. Why did Xun Yao say something that would obviously offend Han Hu and Wei Ju?There is only one explanation: he is too arrogant, so arrogant that he has lost his basic IQ. In other words, he didn't regard Han and Wei as his allies at all. He said that to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, meaning: You two must be honest, otherwise you will follow in Zhao Wuxie's footsteps, and by then Pingyang Even He Anyi can't keep you!

Facts have proved that people who laugh too early never laugh last. That night, in Jinyang City, Zhao Wuxie and Zhang Mengtan had a conversation.Wuxie said: "The food is exhausted, the financial resources are exhausted, and the retainers are starving to death. I am afraid we will not be able to hold on. I want to surrender the whole city. Which one do you think is more reliable for me to surrender?" Zhang Mengtan said: "It's not time for despair yet, you let me go out of the city and talk to the Han and Wei families." Wuxie said: "If you find them earlier, there may be hope. Now that the general situation is gone, Zhi Bo has a chance to win. I'm afraid they won't see you at all."

Zhang Mengtan said: "I can go to Duan Gui first, as long as Duan Gui is willing to see me, I can meet Han Hu and Wei Ju." Zhang Mengtan carried a log, floated across the flood, sneaked out of Jinyang City, came to Han Hu's army, and met Duan Gui smoothly.He said to Duan Gui: "Time is urgent, I won't make a long story with you. The three families of Zhao, Wei, and Han are closely related. If the Zhao family perishes, the next step will be the turn of the Han family and the Wei family. This is a matter of time. Any luck." Duan Gui immediately introduced Zhang Mengtan to Han Hu, and let him meet Wei Ju through Ren Zhang.

Without Zhang Mengtan doing too much ideological work, Han Hu and Wei Ju quickly agreed to turn against Xun Yao and join forces with Zhao Wuxie to deal with Xun Yao. But Han Hu still has concerns: "If Bo Zhi finds out about this, we will be in danger." Zhang Mengtan said: "Please don't worry, the words from the two of you have reached my ears. Only the five people present will know, and they will never reach Uncle Zhi." After he held a simple oath of alliance with Han and Wei on behalf of Zhao Wuxie, he rushed back to Jinyang overnight and told Wuxie the good news.

In fact, Han Hu's worry is not unreasonable. Early the next morning, when Han Hu and Wei Ju went in and out of Xun Yao's camp, they were bumped into by Xici, a retainer of the Zhi clan.But when he entered the camp, he said to Xun Yao, "The Han family and the Wei family will definitely betray." Xun Yao didn't believe it, and said, "How do you know?" Que Zai said: "We have besieged the city for nearly two years, and now it's almost time to share the fruits of victory, but I can't see a trace of happiness from the faces of Han Hu and Wei Ju, but they are full of worries, so I conclude that they will rebel. "

But Xun Yao turned down the last chance to save herself, and did a very stupid thing.He called Han and Wei, and asked them jokingly, "Quezhen said that you are going to betray me, is that true?" Of course Han Hu and Wei Ju didn't admit it, and instead spread rumors, "This is a conspiracy by Que Zai. He must have taken advantage of Zhao Wuxie and wanted to drive a wedge between the three of us." Xun Yao smiled and said nothing more. After Han Hu and Wei Ju went out, they encountered Que Zai again.But Que went in and said to Xun Yao, "Why did you tell them what I said?"

Xun Yao was taken aback and asked, "How do you know?" Queci said: "I saw them looking weird, and they ran away quickly when they saw me. If you didn't tell them something, how could it be like that?" That night, Que Zhen left the camp and went to the state of Qi.Unfortunately, Xun Yao still hasn't woken up. Chi's death knell has sounded. On the night of the eighth day of March, it was a dark and windy night.Wei Ju and Han Hu led their men to Jinshui's embankment in the dark, wiped out all the defenders Xun Yao left on the embankment, and then swung picks and shovels to quickly change the direction of the gap in the embankment.Jinshui rushed towards Zhijun's camp. By the time Xun Yao realized what had happened, the entire camp had been submerged by the flood, and the corpses of countless soldiers and war horses were floating on the water, and those who survived just hugged their logs and fled for their lives. He is brave, witty and clever, but he never thought that the flood could submerge Jinyang, Pingyang and Anyi, and his army could also be submerged.In this world, the truly powerful weapon is not the river, but the human heart. Floods ebb and flow.As soon as the ground of Jinyang City came out of the water, Zhao Wuxie led the army out of the city gate and attacked the Zhijun camp from the front. This family, which was once the most powerful in Jin, completely collapsed, and Xun Yao himself became a prisoner of Zhao Jun and was sent to Wuxie.Wuxie ordered his head to be cut off, carved and painted, and made into a wine bottle with a human head. Twenty years ago, Xun Yao threw a jug at Wu Shi, and now Wu Shi has proved a truth in this way: it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, and it is not too late in twenty years. Wuxie also proved to the world how wise Fuguo's decision was. All members of the Zhi clan, regardless of gender, age or age, were executed; Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, and kill them all.Of course, except for the Fuguo family, because they are no longer members of the Zhi clan.
