During the Three Kingdoms period, there were frequent wars between Wei Shu and Wu, and the stories between them were constantly intertwined. In addition to paying attention to the disputes between each other, the three families often have to pay attention to their own rear. The State of Wei bordered the nomadic peoples of the north, and the interior of Eastern Wu was crossed by mountains and Yue, while the Ji Han side was mainly a minority group in the south.
In order to maintain peace and stability with the ethnic minorities in Nanzhong specifically, Liu Bei set up the post of "Governor of Yu Descending" here to oversee the affairs of Nanzhong. And the successive Governors of The Fallen Capitals are basically all all-powerful people with the ability to act alone, in general, these governors of the Capitals have done a good job, but there is such an exception, he is Zhang Yi. 「Link」
Zhang Yi(?) –264), courtesy name Bogong,Yizhou Qian (益州犍) was a native of Wuyang County.
As one of the indispensable generals in the late Ji Han Dynasty, Zhang Yi was also a son of an official eunuch. Not only did his great-grandfather Zhang Hao serve as Sikong, but his great-grandfather Zhang Gang served as the Taishou of Guangling County, and if he went any further in this relationship, Zhang Yi was actually the tenth grandson of Zhang Liang, one of the Three Masters of the Western Han Dynasty.
It turned out to be Zhang Liang's descendant, which was really a remarkable relationship. And just like the experiences of his ancestors, Zhang Yi also followed Liu Bei after Liu Bei entered Xichuan, successively serving as Shuzuo and the governor of Jiangyang County.
But compared to his bold and careful ancestors, he was much different.
In the twenty-third year of Jian'an (218), Liu Bei launched the Battle of Hanzhong, and Zhang Yi went to war with his army. At that time, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong went to rob the grain, but when the time came, there was still no news, so Zhao Yun personally led the troops to check it out, and as a result, they bumped into Cao Jun. Zhao Yun bravely rescued the general Zhang Zhu, who was surrounded by Cao Jun, and was about to return to the camp, but the Cao Army behind him followed.
Seeing that Cao's army was crowded and threatening, Zhang Yi resolutely suggested that Zhao Yun close the door and refuse to defend, but Zhao Yun refused, and then he got Zhao Yun's confusing military order: open the door even more, and put an end to the banner.
Just when he was wondering what kind of medicine Zhao Yun was selling in the gourd, he saw that Cao Cao on the other side also showed a look of surprise, and what made him feel even more incredible was that Cao Cao actually ordered the army to retreat and prepare to withdraw. However, cao Cao's move was like a signal agreed in advance, Zhao Yun suddenly beat the drum and issued an order, and let the crossbow shoot Cao Cao's rear army, and then it was:
The public army was horrified and trampled on each other, and there were many dead in the fallen water.
After winning a great victory with Zhao Yun in pursuit of Cao Jun, Zhang Yi understood the strength of Zhao Yun's response strategy, and also witnessed how Zhao Yun was praised by Liu Bei for "being bold all over" and winning the title of "General of Huwei" cheered by the whole army.
It is said that this personal experience will bring different inspiration to Zhang Yi, but for him, this is just a thrilling and beautiful encounter in his life.
During his later successive tenures as Fuling County Commandery, Zitong County Taishou, Guanghan County Taishou and Shu County Taishou, Zhang Yi continued to do his own work, until this later appointment.
In the ninth year of Jianxing (231), when the second governor of The Imperial Household (庲[lái] died, Zhang Yi was appointed by the imperial court as the Governor of The Prefecture of Suinan (庲降都督), and also the general of Suinan Zhonglang (绥南中郎), stationed in Pingyi County, Mu mu [zāng kē] County.
In ancient times, Nanzhong was remote, and the local ethnic minorities lacked sufficient knowledge and recognition of the Central Plains Dynasty, coupled with cultural differences, and from time to time there were some conflicts. Soon after Liu Bei's death in the White Emperor's City, rebellions broke out in southern China, and Zhuge Liang also had to prepare for everything before leading his troops to conquest. Later, after adopting Ma Chen's "offensive strategy", he successfully subdued Meng, which only made Nanzhong no longer rebel during Zhuge Liang's lifetime.
This can also be fully seen that in order to properly handle the relationship between the Han and Yi people, it is not possible not to use some brains and not to deal with them flexibly. And Zhang Yi obviously did not realize the cultural differences between the two sides, he was conscientious and strict in law enforcement, without the slightest consideration that the guys who were wearing different clothes from him were some unhappy masters who would judge.
No, the first unhappy one came.
In the eleventh year of Jianxing (233), a rich marshal named Liu Yin finally had enough of Zhang Yi's one-sided and one-eyed guy and took the lead in attacking. As soon as Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately led the troops to the crusade, but before he could achieve any results, the imperial court's conscription order came.
At that time, all the generals thought that the imperial court must blame Zhang Yi for not taking care of Nanzhong, and they wanted to blame him and persuade him to quickly pack up and set off. But Zhang Yi obviously didn't think so: "Can't do this, I was called back to the DPRK because of the barbarian rebellion and incompetence (and self-knowledge)." But my successor has not yet arrived, and I am on the battlefield, and I should organize the transportation and hoarding of grain and grass as a material to destroy the traitors, how can I waste the affairs of the country because I have been dismissed from my official post? ”
It was at the insistence of his duty that Ma Zhong, the third governor of the capital, was able to successfully kill Liu Xuan and quell the rebellion. Afterwards, although Zhang Yi was derelict in managing Nanzhong, he was still appreciated by Zhuge Liang because of this incident.
Subsequently, Zhang Yi participated in Zhuge Liang's last Northern Expedition, successively serving as the former governor of the former department, the former leader, and was given the title of Marquis of Guannei. Later, he also recorded Shangshu, worshiped the Western General, and the Marquis of Fengduting, stationed on the northern border of Ji Han.
After entering the Jiang Wei period, Zhang Yi found himself in a strange situation, and the initiator of this strange situation was Jiang Wei.
In the spring of the eighteenth year of Yanxi (255), Jiang Wei again negotiated in the court to send troops to fight Wei. At that time, although Jiang Wei was still only a Wei general, he already had the authority to supervise the internal and external military forces, and he said that he wanted to send troops, so it can be said that as long as emperor Liu Chan nodded, there was nothing wrong with it. But Zhang Yi was still as steady as ever, and Manchu Wenwu immediately spoke on his own, saying that now that the weak people of the country are tired, they should not abuse force -- he is still indispensable when he is doing his duty.
Not surprisingly, Jiang Wei did not listen.
Of course, Jiang Wei didn't listen to his reasons. In the summer of that year, Jiang Wei sent an army to attack Wei, and in August, he defeated Wang Jing of the Wei state of Yongzhou in Di dao County, Longxi County, and in this battle, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Wei army died in Taoshui, and Wang Jing was forced to return to Di Dao City. Jiang Wei, who had won a great victory in this battle, was doubly confident and prepared to besiege Di Dao City, and then plot against the land of Long right.
At that time, the Shu army was in full swing, and even Jiang Wei's old rival Deng Ai dissuaded Chen Tai when he was preparing to rescue Wang Jing, analyzing that the situation on the right side of Long was unfavorable to the Wei army, and also used the analogy of "a strong man breaking his wrist", which meant abandoning Wang Jing. Moreover, in hindsight, Wang Jing only had less than ten days of grain and grass in the city at that time, and it was said that the situation was quite favorable to Ji Han, but, yes, it was he who opened his wings and still opened his mouth to Jiang Wei: "You can stop, don't continue to march, if you march, you may ruin this great achievement, just like painting a foot for a snake." ”
If you were expressing different opinions in the court before, it was obviously a bit faceless for Jiang Wei, this battle was fought so smoothly, do not take advantage of the victory to pursue, want me to stop? Jiang Wei was immediately angry, you advised me not to fight, I want to fight!
Subsequently, Jiang Wei began to attack Didao City, but the siege did not go well. Not long after, Chen Tai evaded Jiang Wei's ambush and forced Jiang Wei to retreat with the strategy of doubtful soldiers, and Jiang Wei was unable to fight with Chen Tai, and finally had to withdraw his army and retreat to Zhong Di.
Although Zhang Yi's words were verified here to some extent, after the Northern Expedition, no matter how unwilling Zhang Yi was, Jiang Wei just didn't care, always dragging Zhang Yi along. Although Zhang Yi was already a general in Zhennan, he had no choice but to accompany him on the expedition.
In fact, Zhang Yi did not understand that Jiang Wei, who had been entrusted by Zhuge Liang, had always regarded the Northern Expedition as his duty, and since Zhang Yi had expressed his disapproval of the Northern Expedition in front of everyone in the court that day, Jiang Wei had already formed a bond with him. Therefore, it will appear that a person who obviously does not want the Northern Expedition and has voted the only veto in front of the Manchu Emperor's ministers has become a regular visitor to every Northern Expedition later.
In June of the second year of Jing Yao (259), Zhang Yi was promoted to the rank of Left Rider General and led the Ji Prefecture Assassin History, with an official position equal to that of the Right Rider General Liao Hua. People at that time said: "In the front there are Wang Ping and Shufu, and in the back there are Zhang Yi and Liao Hua." It can be seen that although Zhang Yi did not approve of the Northern Expedition, he still made many meritorious achievements in the Neutralization of the Northern Expedition.
In August of the sixth year of Jing Yao (263), Sima Zhaoxing attacked Shu. Zhang Yi first went with Dong Yue to Yang'an Pass as foreign aid, and then had to retreat with Jiang Wei to defend the Sword Pavilion. Eventually, after Liu Chan surrendered, he surrendered to Zhong Hui with Jiang Wei, and died in a mutiny in the subsequent Zhong Hui Rebellion.
Zhang Yi was a well-behaved, conscientious and responsible person, who was conscientious in Ji Han's management of the local area or in the army. However, zhang Liang, an ancestor who was completely different from his scheming master, lacked a flexible mind and was not flexible enough in doing things, so he would have such an accident when he was guarding Nanzhong in Zhenshou. However, it is precisely because of his persistence and seriousness that he became an indispensable general in the late Jihan period, and made a lot of merit in the conquest of the north and south, which can also be seen from the evaluation of the people of the Shu state at that time, it can be said that he was a very responsible general in the late Jihan period.
