Zhong Hui, Jiang Wei, and Wei Qiang, each with their own ghosts, performed a thrilling power game on the stage of this stormy era. Zhong Hui is ambitious and wants to rebel and stand on his own; Jiang Wei is loyal and wants to take the opportunity to restore the country; Wei Qian is resourceful and secretly arranged. Their destinies are intertwined, and a thrilling power plot Shura field is staged in the land of Chengdu. In the end, all three of them were buried in this earth-shattering conspiracy, leaving behind a legendary story that shocked future generations.
In 263 AD, in the fourth year of Wei Jingyuan, the Cao Wei regime decided to send troops to destroy Shu. In this year, the Cao Wei court gathered 180,000 soldiers from all over the world and divided it into three armies to attack Shu.
Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, and Zhuge Xu led their respective armies and launched a fierce attack on Shu. Zhong Hui, as the main force, captured the Hanzhong Plain and approached Yang'an Pass. Deng Ai, as a partial teacher, smuggled into Yinping and took him by surprise.
Zhuge Xu was supposed to cut off the connection between Yuzhong and Hanzhong, but Jiang Wei shook him out. Jiang Wei took the opportunity to lead the army to garrison the Sword Pavilion and confront Zhong. This situation gave Shu a temporary respite.
However, Deng Ai's partiality became the decisive factor. He led the army to smuggle across Yinping, Jiangyou, and Fucheng, all the way like a bamboo. Deng Ai defeated Zhuge Zhan's reinforcements and approached Chengdu.
Liu Chan faced Deng Ai's troops and had to surrender. In this way, the Shu Han regime, which lasted for 42 years after the second emperor, perished. Zhong Hui and Deng Ai have made immortal contributions because of this.
However, the joy of victory was soon replaced by ambition and intrigue. Deng Aiyin shook the Lord and began to swell. He put forward a series of suggestions, including recuperation, recuperation, and recuperation, and generous treatment of the Shu people.
Although these suggestions were out of concern for the country and the people, they aroused Sima Zhao's suspicions. Deng Ai lost his guard and did not perceive the approaching danger.
At the same time, Zhonghui's ambitions began to be exposed. Long before he cut down Shu, he began to plan his great cause. Zhong Hui framed Zhuge Xu's cowardice and sent him back to control more troops.
In this struggle for power, Jiang Wei did not give up. Although Shu Han perished, he still had hope of recovering the country. Jiang Wei saw Zhong Hui's ambition and decided to use this to realize his plan.
He deliberately persuaded Zhong Hui to protect himself, but in fact he was deepening Zhong Hui's sense of crisis. Jiang Wei's purpose was to use Zhong Hui's hand to get rid of Wei Jiang, and then find an opportunity to kill Zhong Hui and realize Shu Han's ambition to restore the country.
Just when these three people were pregnant with ghosts, a person named Wei Qian quietly appeared. Wei Qian was born in Hedong Wei and is a cultural family. His father, Wei Qi, was a veteran of Cao Wei and a famous calligrapher and writer.
Wei Qian's father died when he was only ten years old, but the influence of the family made his career not bumpy. He is filial piety, clear-sighted, and a well-known man in the court.
He skillfully detained Deng Ai, outwitted Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei, and finally put down the "Zhong Hui Rebellion". In this thrilling power plot Shura field, Wei Qian showed extraordinary political wisdom and skill.
After the fall of Shu Han, Zhonghui's ambition was like a wild horse that was out of control. Although he failed to achieve a decisive victory in the Battle of Sword Pavilion, his efforts to destroy Shu were certain.
This young general, who is only in his early forties, is about to rise to the clouds. However, the situation of the master of high merit made Zhong Hui like a man, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.
He knew very well that Sima Zhao, an old fox, would not easily let go of anyone who threatened his power. Zhong Hui began to think about how to protect himself, and even how to go further.
At this juncture, Deng Ai's existence has become a thorn in Zhong Hui's eyes and a thorn in his flesh. Deng Ai's contribution is no less than that of Zhong Hui, and he can even be said to be the number one hero in the destruction of Shu.
Zhong Hui knew in his heart that if he wanted to take the credit, he had to kick Deng Ai away first. So, he began to secretly lay out, preparing to attack Deng Ai.
Zhong Hui's first move was to use Deng Ai's light enemy to advance. He secretly tampered with Deng Ai's letter to Sima Zhao, and changed the content of the book to be arrogant and rude.
At the same time, Zhong Hui also intercepted and destroyed Sima Zhao's reply to Deng Ai, and forged one himself. This move can be described as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, directly cutting off the connection between Deng Ai and Sima Zhao.
Deng Ai didn't know that he had fallen into Zhonghui's trap. He still went his own way and handled the affairs of Shu according to his own ideas.
Zhong Jian's plan succeeded, and he became even more unscrupulous. He united with Hu Lie, Shi Su and others and began to spread rumors of Deng Ai's rebellion.
These rumors spread like a plague and soon reached Sima Zhao's ears. Sima Zhao was already suspicious of Deng Ai, and when he heard about this, he immediately ordered Deng Ai to be escorted back to Luoyang.
As soon as the news of Deng Ai being escorted by the prisoner car spread, the entire Shu land suddenly shook. Zhong Hui took the opportunity to take over Deng Ai's military power, and there were more and more chips in his hands.
However, getting rid of Deng Ai was only the first step in Zhonghui's plan. His ambitions go far beyond that. Zhonghui began to plot to establish his own power.
In order to achieve this goal, Zhong Hui began to woo Jiang Wei. Although Jiang Wei is a general, he still has a lot of influence in Shu.
Zhong Hui believed that if he could get Jiang Wei's support, his rule in Shu would be more stable. So, he began to show favor to Jiang Wei and gave him all kinds of preferential treatment.
Jiang Wei saw through Zhong Hui's thoughts, but he didn't refuse. Instead, he decided to take the opportunity to realize his plan for restoration.
In this way, Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei started a game of back and forth. On the surface, the two call themselves brothers, but in fact, they have their own ghosts.
At the same time, Zhong Hui was still secretly enveloping the officers and men of the army. He lavishly rewarded and promised high-ranking officials generous favors in an attempt to buy people's hearts.
Zhong Hui's actions naturally couldn't hide from Wei Qian's eyes. As Sima Zhao's confidant, Wei Qian has long been suspicious of Zhong Hui's behavior.
He began to investigate covertly, gather evidence, and prepare to expose Zhonghui's ambitions in due course. Wei Qian's actions were like a sharp sword hanging above Zhong Hui's head, which could fall at any time.
In this tense atmosphere, Zhong Hui finally couldn't hold back and decided to take action. He gathered his henchmen and consulted on a plan to raise an army.
Zhonghui's plan was to first control Shu and then use it as a base to gradually expand eastward. He even fantasized about one day being able to unify the world.
However, what Zhong Hui didn't know was that his every move was under the watchful eye of Wei Xuan. Wei Qian is like a hunter hiding in the shadows, quietly waiting for the bell to reveal its flaws.
On the eve of Zhong Hui preparing to officially announce the start of the army, Wei Qian finally made a move. He mobilized the forces that had already been arranged and destroyed Zhonghui's lair in one fell swoop.
Zhong Hui's rebellion plan was stillborn before it could be implemented. He himself was surrounded by Wei Qian's men and horses, and he was cornered.
In the turmoil of the demise of Shu Han, Jiang Wei, a loyal minister of Shu Han, did not accept his fate. There is always a flame of restoration burning in his heart, and it will burn up when the time is right.
Jiang Wei knows that if he wants to realize the great cause of recovering the country, his own strength alone is far from enough. He needs a strong boost, and this help is precisely the ambitious Zhonghui.
In the process of surrendering Zhonghui, Jiang Wei behaved unusually submissively. He not only took the initiative to offer his military power, but also expressed his loyalty to Zhonghui.
This move surprised Zhong Hui, who was originally worried that Jiang Wei, the name of Shu Han, would become a hidden danger. Jiang Wei's surrender undoubtedly made Zhong Hui feel like a tiger.
However, Jiang Wei's obedience is only superficial. He secretly observed Zhong Hui's every move, waiting for an opportunity.
Jiang Wei soon discovered that Zhong Hui was extremely wary of Deng Ai. Although the two are both heroes of the destruction of Shu, they are fighting openly and secretly, each with a ghost.
Seeing this, Jiang Wei began to slander Deng Ai in front of Zhong Hui. From time to time, he revealed some of Deng Ai's "ambitions" to Zhong Hui, saying that Deng Ai had plans to become emperor.
These words were like drops of poison, slowly eroding Zhong Hui's heart. Jiang Wei's scheme began to show results, and Zhong Hui's suspicion of Deng Ai deepened.
At the same time, Jiang Wei did not forget to compliment Zhong Hui. He often touted in front of Zhong Hui, saying that Zhong Hui's talent was far superior to Deng Ai's, and he should monopolize power.
This combination of soft and hard means made Zhong Hui trust Jiang Wei more and more. Zhong Hui even began to discuss with Jiang Wei how to get rid of Deng Ai's plan.
Jiang Wei saw that his plan succeeded, and he worked harder to bewitch Zhong Hui. He suggested that Zhong Hui could first frame Deng Ai for rebellion, and then take the opportunity to get rid of him.
Zhong will be confused by Jiang Wei's strategy, and really start preparing to frame Deng Ai. He sent someone to falsify evidence of Deng Ai's rebellion and reported it to Sima Zhao.
After receiving the news, Sima Zhao immediately ordered the arrest of Deng Ai. In this way, Deng Ai was surrounded by Zhonghui's men and horses without knowing it and escorted back to Luoyang.
Seeing Deng Ai being eliminated, Jiang Wei's plan went to the next step. He began to encourage the Chung Hui to stand on its own, saying that the Chung Hui was capable of building a new business.
Jiang Wei said to Zhong Hui: "Your talent is enough to achieve hegemony, why should you be subservient?" It is better to take this opportunity to divide the land of Shu and establish himself as the king. "
These words hit the heart of Zhong's heart. He already had the ambition to become emperor, but he never had the right opportunity. Now with Jiang Wei's support, Zhong Hui's ambitions are even more inflated.
As a result, Zhonghui began to prepare a plan to separate and stand on his own. He secretly encircled his soldiers, accumulated grain and grass, and prepared for the army.
Jiang Wei was on the side and kept giving advice to Zhong Hui. On the surface, he is helping Zhonghui, but in fact he is paving the way for his great cause of recovering the country.
Jiang Wei's plan was to wait for Zhong Hui to raise troops and take the opportunity to stir up internal contradictions in the Wei army. Then get rid of Zhonghui in the chaos, recapture the land of Shu, and rebuild Shu Han.
In order to make the plan more perfect, Jiang Wei also secretly contacted some old departments. He asked these people to hide in Zhong Hui's army, waiting for the right time to act.
Just as Jiang Wei's plan was about to succeed, an unexpected figure appeared. This person is Wei Qian, a henchman sent by Sima Zhao to monitor Zhonghui.
Wei Qian had long been suspicious of Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei's behavior. He investigates secretly and soon discovers the conspiracy of the two.
However, Wei Qian did not immediately debunk Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui. He decided to wait and see what would happen, waiting for the perfect moment to take the two in one fell swoop.
In this way, Jiang Wei, Zhong Hui and Wei Qian launched a thrilling game of power in this newly pacified Shu land.
In the whirlpool of this conspiracy, Zhong Hui, Jiang Wei and Wei Qian each had ghosts, like three cunning foxes, guarding each other and calculating each other. This game ended in a way that no one expected.
Zhong Hui finally couldn't hold back and decided to put it into action. He gathered his henchmen and prepared to officially announce the start of the army.
On the eve of the army, Zhong Hui called a meeting of the generals. He proclaimed his ideals impassionedly, promising his soldiers glory and wealth.
Jiang Wei stood beside Zhong Hui and remained silent. He seems to be supporting Zhonghui, but in fact he is waiting for the opportunity.
At this moment, Wei Qiang, who had been lurking, suddenly attacked. He led a group of soldiers and broke directly into the venue.
Wei Qian shouted loudly: "Zhong will rebel, everyone will be punished!" This sentence was like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.
The generals present immediately panicked, and some began to waver. Zhong met the petition and hurriedly defended, but it was too late.
Wei Qian had already set it up, and his men and horses quickly took control of the situation. Zhong Hui's henchmen were taken down one by one and couldn't resist.
Zhong saw that the general trend had gone, and drew his sword to kill himself. Jiang Wei took advantage of the chaos to sneak out of the venue, ready to implement his plan.
Wei Qian was quick with his eyes, and he snatched Zhong Hui's sword with one hand. He sneered, "Want to die? It's not that easy! "
The bell will be tied up and escorted aside. His ambitions and intrigues came to naught.
At the same time, Jiang Wei summoned the old ministry that was secretly liaison. Taking advantage of the chaos, they began to agitate in the army.
Jiang Wei's men spread rumors everywhere, saying that Zhong Hui and Wei Qian colluded to disadvantage the soldiers of Shudi. This rumor was like a fire, instantly igniting discontent in the army.
The soldiers who were originally suspicious of Zhong Hui were suddenly excited. They took up arms one after another and began to search for Zhonghui's cronies.
Wei Qian realized that the situation was out of control and hurriedly sent people to suppress it. However, events have moved too fast to be controlled.
The barracks soon fell into chaos. The soldiers walked around, suspicious of each other, and they were on the verge of breaking out.
Jiang Wei saw that the time had come, and immediately led the old troops to attack. They took advantage of the chaos to break into the big tent of the Zhonghui and prepared to rob the Zhonghui.
When Wei Qian learned the news, he immediately brought people to stop him. The three parties engaged in a fierce confrontation in front of the big tent.
In the shadow of the sword, Zhong Hui took advantage of the chaos to break free from the rope, grabbed a sword and was about to fight his way out of the encirclement. Seeing this, Jiang Wei hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
At this critical moment, Wei Qian's arrow was like a meteor catching the moon, and it went straight to Zhonghui's throat. The bell fell to the ground, unconscious.
Jiang Wei saw that the plan had failed, so he had to take the old troops and fight and retreat. Wei Qian took the opportunity to stabilize the situation and began to clean up the rebels.
In the chaos, I don't know who shouted: "Jiang Wei is a Shu Han spy!" This sentence was like a fuse, detonating the powder keg at the scene.
Some of the soldiers who originally followed Jiang Wei suddenly woke up from a dream when they heard this. Only then did they realize that they had been used by Jiang Wei.
For a time, the anger of the crowd was unbearable. The people around Jiang Wei turned against each other.
Jiang Wei saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to desperately break through. However, he was outnumbered and captured by the rebels.
Wei Qian was relieved to see that Jiang Wei was captured. He immediately ordered Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui to be separated and placed under strict guard.
In this way, this thrilling three-way wrestling ended with Zhong Hui being seriously injured and Jiang Wei being captured. Although Wei Qian put down the rebellion, the vitality of the army was greatly damaged.
Afterwards, Wei Qian immediately wrote to Sima Zhao and reported in detail what happened. When Sima Zhao heard the news, he was shocked and angry.
He immediately ordered Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei to be escorted back to Luoyang and corrected on the spot. As for the other soldiers who participated in the rebellion, they were also severely punished.
This protracted game of power and conspiracy ended in the end with no one succeeding. Zhong Hui's ambition and Jiang Wei's dream of recovering the country have all come to naught.
And this turmoil also became the last aftermath after the fall of Shu Han. Since then, Shu has been completely under the rule of Wei, and there will be no more waves.
The wheel of history rolls forward like this, leaving only a sigh and the regrets and remorse of countless people. This is a tragedy at the end of the Three Kingdoms, and it is also the inevitable end of power politics.
