In the sixth year of Jing Yao (263), the State of Wei sent three large armies, Zhong Hui YiLu, Deng Ai Yi Lu, and Zhuge Xu Yi Lu, of which Zhong Hui led an army of more than 100,000, which was the main force, and Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu each led an army of 30,000, equivalent to a partial division.
In these three large armies, the main force Zhong Hui did not perform as well as the partial master Deng Ai, Deng Ai surprised the soldiers, smuggled across the Yinping Trail, captured Jiang You, killed Zhuge Zhan at Mianzhu, and finally, the army approached Chengdu, Liu Chan saw that the situation was critical, and immediately followed the advice of the minister, chose to surrender, and Shu Han perished.
In this, it is worth noting that the commanders of the wei state's three-way army are discordant, first of all, Zhong Hui and Deng Ai are at odds, and secondly, Zhong Hui and Zhuge Xu are at odds.
Zhong Hui and Deng Ai were at odds, perhaps because Deng Ai's origins were relatively low, Deng Ai was born from a cattle herding baby and was very poor, while Zhong Hui was from a noble family, and his father Zhong Hui was a wei courtier, a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and also a famous calligrapher.
In fact, at this time, Zhong Hui's official position was similar to Deng Ai's, Zhong Hui was Situ, and Deng Ai was a lieutenant, all of whom belonged to the list of the three dukes. However, Zhong Hui has always looked down on Deng Ai.
In the end, Zhong Hui and the overseers Wei Ou and others falsely accused Deng Ai of rebellion, and Sima Zhao immediately ordered that Zhong Hui arrest Deng Ai, who was very cunning and sent the overseer Wei Ai to carry out the execution, intending to let Deng Ai kill Wei Ai in order to confirm Deng Ai's antipathy, however, Wei Hui was very clever, and quietly entered Deng Ai's camp with Sima Zhao's warrant, suddenly announced Deng Ai's guilt, and the rest did not ask, so he unexpectedly arrested Deng Ai.
In this way, Zhong Hui took Deng Ai's father and son to a prison cart, escorted them to the capital, and handed them over to Sima Zhao for disposal, and later, Zhong Hui rebelled, and Wei Ou was afraid that the matter of falsely accusing Deng Ai would be leaked, so he sent Tian Xu, who had a vendetta against Deng Ai, to catch up with Deng Ai and behead Deng Ai's father and son.
The reason why Zhong Hui and Zhuge Xu were at odds was because Zhong Hui wanted to seize Zhuge Xu's military power, so he took an opportunity to falsely accuse Zhuge Xu of being afraid to advance, loaded Zhuge Xu into a prison cart, and escorted him to the capital, and Zhong Hui annexed Zhuge Xu's troops.
The problem is that Zhong Hui and Deng Ai are at odds, and in the smuggling of Yin Ping, Deng Ai can actually command Tian Zhang, the general of the Zhong Hui, and let Tian Zhang be the vanguard. What's going on?
Deng Ai initially wanted to invite Zhuge Xu to join him in attacking Mianzhu from Handeyang into Jiangyou and Zuo Dandao, but Zhuge Xu refused, on the grounds that he had not received the order to march west. Zhuge Xu chose to march into Baishui and joined the Zhong Huibu division.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms Zhong Hui records that Deng Ai chased Jiang Wei to Yinping, and jianxuan was elite, wanting to enter Jiangyu from Handeyang, Zuo Dan Dao, and Walk with Zhuge Xu. Xu Yiben was invited by The Festival, Jiang Wei, and traveled west to fei Benzhao, so he marched to Baishui and joined him.
At this time, Zhong Hui sent tian zhang and others from the southwest of the Sword Pavilion straight out of Jiangyu. Tian Zhang and the others marched less than a hundred miles and encountered the ambush of Shu Han, and Tian Zhang first attacked the three camps of The Shu Han ambush troops, that is, the strength of the three schools, and won a great victory.
Therefore, Deng Ai made Tian Zhang the forward and led the army commander to drive straight in to open the way for him. At this time, Zhong Hui and Zhuge Xu led the army straight to the Sword Pavilion. In the process, Zhong Hui took advantage of the excuse to swallow Zhuge Xubu.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms Zhong Hui records that the general Tian Zhang and others were sent from the west of the Sword Pavilion to the river. Before reaching the hundred miles, Zhang Xian broke the shu ambush three schools, and Ai made Zhang xiandeng. So the long drive forward. Will and Xu Army to the Sword Pavilion, will want to specialize in military posture, Mi Bai Xu is afraid of cowardice, sill car requisition. The Military Council.
It is worth thinking about this sentence, Ai Lingzhang Xiandeng.
The reason why Deng Ai was able to command Tian Zhang, the general of the Moving Bell Society, was very strange, because Zhong Hui looked down on Deng Ai.
I think there are two reasons, maybe two.
First, Zhong Hui sent Tian Zhang from the southwest of the Sword Pavilion to Jiang You, hoping to compete with Deng Ai and rob Deng Ai of his credit.
Otherwise, Deng Ai let Tian Zhang be the vanguard and drive straight in, how could Tian Zhang obey the order? Will Zhong Hui also agree? If it is a credit grab, it may be easy to understand.
Second, monitor Deng Ai's military operations.
At this time, Zhong Hui, seeing that Deng Ai had successfully smuggled into the Yinping Trail and would make an immortal contribution, he already had the idea of self-reliance in his heart, Deng Ai was the biggest stumbling block, at this time, Pai Tian Zhang was in the first place, and deng Ai entered the army together, and there was a great component to monitor Deng Ai.
The above analysis is all personal speculation, perhaps unreasonable, welcome to correct.
