Deng Ai seems to have done something big, but in fact he has lost the political struggle
Hello everyone! I am a small editor old Xie chat about history, today to share a historical article with you, I hope you like!
Deng Ai's death must have been unjust, after all, he did not commit a crime, but his death did not feel pity and incomprehensible. To put it simply, it is very easy to understand that Sima Zhao, the newly appointed leader of the Weiguo enterprise, originally because of the forced ascension to the position, the company's internal prestige was not enough, hoping to enhance his prestige through the performance of his competent salesmen, so he would instruct his subordinates to go down to acquire Xishu enterprises; originally Zhong Hui and Deng Ai successfully acquired the Hanzhong branch for Sima Dagang The road to brushing the prestige has been completed, and finally let him successfully acquire the Xishu company completely, which is a good thing for the leader, and the ability of the subordinates is a good thing. But the premise is to be obedient, and this powerful subordinate will not only privately reward his subordinates in the name of leadership, but also continue to acquire the Soochow Group.
Sima Dagang was originally on the throne, and for him, capable people are not as good as obedient mediocre talents, in his heart: Does this Deng Ai also want to sit in my position, so hard! In terms of these points, Deng Ai's death is normal, if Zhong Hui does not rebel, but just uses an excuse to kill Deng Ai, I believe that Sima Dagang's heart is absolutely dark! Zhong Hui and Deng Ai are both very stupid, working for others in vain, and on the surface it seems that they have done a big business outside but have actually lost in the political struggle. It was Sima Zhao's commendation letter to Deng Ai that successively mentioned Bai Qi, Han Xin, and Zhou Yafu as metaphors, these 3 people were all proud of their achievements after establishing Qigong, and the emperor cut them down. In fact, Sima Zhao was already nakedly beating Deng Ai, and then Deng Ai not only did not converge but also intensified, which should have been planned before The Valve Shu, that is, the strategy of "killing three soldiers with one peach". Get the Shu Kingdom, and kill Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, and Jiang Wei at the same time.
This conspiracy theory is too heavy, if nothing else, Jiang Wei's factor is unstable, how can everyone calculate that Jiang Wei will definitely collude with Zhong Hui. There was also an element of luck in the war against Shu, Zhong Hui broke through the city because jiang Shu rebelled, and Deng Ai's success in the river oil was Zhuge Zhan's hesitation, which could not be predicted before the war. Conspiracy theories are good to read as novels, but not more true. There is clearly something wrong with the plan of the Bell Society... Even if he succeeded in killing all the Wei officers, who would command the army for him to resist the counterinsurgency army that Sima Zhao had immediately sent over, would he still rely on the Shu state soldiers? It felt that his rebellion was entirely a temporary intention, and had not been planned in advance (before the invasion of the Shu state), and the cattle people in the hands of the Sima family were basically like this, and their ambitions increased as their power increased, except for the difference in patience.
Sima Yi in the three generations of Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui should be able to be a vassal, until the fourth generation began to be exposed, Zhong will be worse than the fire, the battle to destroy Shu, Deng Ai and Zhong will be two independent sides of each other, right? After the war, the official position of one lieutenant and one situ was also comparable, and when the war began, it was three roads, Zhong Hui was more than 100,000, Deng Ai, and Zhuge Xu were 30,000 each. Obviously, Zhong Hui was Sima Zhao's confidant and commander-in-chief of the Shu Army, so Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu would be framed by Zhong Hui and convicted. Deng Ai was already in the position of a lieutenant, and he could just go back to his post, the Third Duke was originally an honorary position in the Cao Wei Empire, Sima Zhao would not kill him, Sima Zhao was not jealous, he was anxious not to let anyone disrupt the rhythm of his dictatorship.
Maybe Deng Ai's heart is not at all to ensure peace, if Deng Ai is willing to "consciously hand over all the military power to Zhong Hui", then it is not Deng Ai. I think if I give Deng Ai another chance, I think he will still do it, but maybe he can do it more artistically, let him "stand still" at the peak of his life, he will definitely not be able to do it, I saw someone comment that the old Deng Ai when he broke Shu was a "straight-looking hero", I felt extremely inappropriate at the time, but today I think it is also meaningless. The method of retreating from the whole body feels unreliable, one is that there is a better choice, and the other is that the military power is Deng Ai's handover, and how many interests are involved in it, we don't know, and the subordinates do not necessarily support it, so it is difficult to implement. The outer tower of the Shu army was completely broken, and the bell meeting could not reach the high ground of Jiang Wei on the middle road, and as a result, Deng Ai's side road marched all the way, Zhuge Xiao'er was tricked out of the regiment, and the side road directly pounded the Yellow Dragon Hammer explosion base.
Deng Ai could not retreat completely, the time of the destruction of Shu was the day deng Ai lost his life, and breaking Shu was a great credit. It meant that the situation of the Three Kingdoms was broken, which meant that it was only a matter of time before the State of Wei under Sima Zhao's guidance destroyed the State of Wu. When a person has achieved great things, he will not appease the desires of his heart at all. Even Guan Gong, who threatened to shock Huaxia, could not do it, and only strategic figures could do it, such as Washington, after unifying the United States, and then retreating. A "elm head" like Deng Ai only thought about a hundred feet, and further, Deng Ai also wanted to carry Wu with him. This proposal was seen by Sima Zhao, and what Sima Zhao thought in his heart was, come and come, or you should do it.
The only possibility is that, on the occasion of the destruction of Shu, Sima Zhao, before he could return to God, immediately turned around and attacked Wu, taking the state of Wu and sitting on the two places of Shu and Wu. The Northern Expedition again played the slogan of "Kuangfu Wei Room, Capture Sima Alive". Unification of the three countries, but the success rate of this plan is basically the probability of the asteroid hitting the earth.
