Chapter 533 General Xiao Zhang
It is said that the battle situation in Jiangxia is complicated and confusing, with three superpowers twisting into a vortex, and the center of the vortex is Hefei City. In order to fight for the control of Hefei City, the three parties' conspirators also racked their brains. Cao Mengde and Cheng Zhongde set many traps around Hefei City, while Zhou Gongjin and Zhuge Kongming both wanted to hide the surprise attack by soldiers and horses. He was sent to the foot of Hefei City.
At the same time, thousands of miles away in Tianshui City, cross-dressing Chen Long was investigating the whereabouts of his beloved wife Diao Chan. From the moment they entered Tianshui City, Chen Long and the special forces team members around him transformed into beggar-like Qiang Hu people in order to go deep into Tianshui City to investigate Li Ru's traces.
The overall situation of the world was just thrown aside by Chen Long. This obsession, combined with the longing for his beloved wife, the expectations of his generals, the anxiety of quickly dominating the world, and the hatred and love for everyone in the family, are like pain tormenting the inner demons in his heart, making Chen Long unable to sleep or eat well. . Now that it is so real, I can only let go of everything and save my beloved wife first before talking about anything else.
Chen Long woke up from very complicated emotions and saw the simple roof. This is a simply furnished greenhouse located in a remote corner of Tianshui City. It happens to be occupied by the four captains including Chen Long and Lu Chang, making it a secret residence. The first night after entering Tianshui was spent like this. Today was the first day of reconnaissance, and the target was Zhang Ji's city lord's palace. The super optical brain in Chen Long's brain has naturally introduced the information about Zhang Ji and his son thoroughly.
Zhang Ji, courtesy name Derong, was born in Gaoling, Feng Yi. In official history, during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty, he was a famous minister of Cao Wei. He was born in Chaju Maocai. He was actually appointed as the magistrate of Xinfeng County. He promoted agriculture, running schools, and prospered all kinds of waste. Due to his outstanding achievements in local governance, he was rated first in the Sanfu area. During the Battle of Hedong, Zhang Ji persuaded Ma Teng to actively participate in the crusade against the rebellion of Gao Gan and Zhang Sheng. Due to his meritorious service, he was promoted to Jing Zhaoyin, where he continued to promote the people and promote government. He united with Xiahou Yuan to ping the Song Dynasty, established Lintao, captured Didao, and settled in Lintao. County residents, migrating Di people. After Zhang Lu surrendered to the Cao family, he suggested that Cao Cao move Hanzhong people to enrich the three assistants. At the same time, he assisted Cao Hong in defeating Wu Lan, paid homage to the governor of Yongzhou, and quelled the rebellion of Zhu Hu. He also moved to Liangzhou as governor and was granted the title of Marquis of Xixiang. During his tenure, he surrendered to Su Heng, built fortifications, pacified the people, and put down the rebellion of Quguang in Xiping County. He made outstanding achievements in the Xiliang area and was famous for his benevolent government throughout his life.
His son Zhang Ji, named Jingzhong, entered the officialdom in the shadow of his family. Although he was young, he was quite talented. According to the official history, Zhang Ji inherited the title of Marquis of Xixiang from his father. When Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, led the Northern Expedition, Zhang Ji wrote a letter to offer suggestions. Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming asked Sun Zi for his opinion, and Sun Zi believed that Zhang Ji had a strategy. Emperor Wei Ming then ordered Zhang Ji to be the Cavalry Commander, and he participated in the battle against Shu and accumulated many military exploits.
After the war, Zhang Ji was appointed Shangshulang, and was praised by Emperor Wei Ming for his competence in the post. Emperor Wei Ming believed that Zhang Ji's talent was enough to take on important tasks, so he asked a fortune teller to read his fortune. The fortune teller said: "The official position Zhang Ji can hold is only two thousand dan." Emperor Wei Ming said: "With Zhang Jingzhong's talent, how can he stay in the official position? How about two thousand stones?" Later, Zhang Ji moved to Dongguan County as Zhongshu Lang. During this period, as a military think tank, he analyzed the situation with Soochow and Shu Han to the court many times.
In the fourth year of Wei Jiaping's reign, Cao Fang, the Young Emperor of Wei, made Zhang Ji's daughter Zhang the queen. Zhang Ji was promoted to Guanglu doctor, and his wife was also named Ancheng Township Queen. In December, Sima Division sent troops to attack Wu, attacking Nanjun and Wuchang. He ordered Sima Zhao, the general of Anton, to lead Hu Zun, the general of the east expedition, and Zhuge Dan, the general of Zhendong, with 70,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Dongxing in order to destroy the Yangtze River embankment. Zhuge Dan proposed a three-pronged march to attack Wu, with Wang Chang and Guanqiu Jian as bait to lure the enemy and attack Nanjun and Wuchang. Zhuge Dan and Hu Zun were the main offensive forces, leading 70,000 elite troops to build pontoon bridges and rush to attack Dongxing. Wu's army was in a critical situation, so Zhuge Ke personally led 40,000 reinforcements to Dongxing, and ordered the champion general Ding Feng, Lu Zhi, Liu Zan, Tang Zi and others as the vanguard to climb the mountains and advance westward. The progress was slow due to the narrow mountain road. Ding Feng personally led three thousand dead men. After descending from the mountain, he took a boat and sailed down the river. Two days later, he arrived at Dongxing and occupied Xutang Town.
It was snowing heavily, and Hu Zun and others were about to drink and have a carnival without warning. Ding Feng led his troops to raid the Wei army camp with light equipment, and Lu Ju and other troops also arrived one after another. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Wei army had no intention of resisting and fled in panic. The pontoon bridge was broken due to overloading in the struggle. More than ten thousand people fell into the water and trampled on each other. Wei generals Han Zong, Le'an, Huan Jia and others drowned one after another. When Guanqiu Jian and Wang Chang saw Dongxing's defeat, they burned their camp and fled. Wu general Tang Zi searched out a large number of grain, grass and weapons that the Wei army had taken away in a hurry, and the Wu army won a great victory.
When the Wei army was defeated and Zhuge Ke was arrogant, Zhang Ji said to Sima Shi: "Although Zhuge Ke has won the victory, he is not far from being executed." Sima Shi asked: "What is the reason for this? "Zhang Ji said: "His prestige frightened his monarch, and his merits surpassed the whole country. Is it possible to survive without death?" Soon, Zhuge Ke besieged Hefei. He was forced to withdraw due to an epidemic and was killed by Wu Lord Sun Jun. Zhang Jilao acted like a god and was praised by Sima Shi as being smarter than Zhuge Ke.
At that time, Taichang Xia Houxuan was very prestigious in the world, but because he was related to Cao Shuang, he could not hold a powerful position and was often unhappy. Zhang Ji was also very unhappy because he was the father of the empress and was exempted from being a governor and living at home. proud. Although Master Sima promoted Li Feng, Li Feng secretly favored Xia Houxuan. Therefore, Li Feng made friends with Zhang Ji and planned to overthrow Sima Shi and make Xia Houxuan the general.
Zhang Ji was dissatisfied in the court, but Li Feng held the power, and they were from the same hometown. His son Li Tao married Princess Qi, so Zhang Ji listened to Li Feng's attempts to win over her. Li Feng secretly ordered his younger brother Li Yi, the governor of Yanzhou, to request admission to the court, hoping that he would lead his troops to join forces in the uprising. Li Yi then requested an audience, but for some reason it was not approved by the court.
In February of the sixth year of Jiaping, it was customary to pay homage to nobles. Li Feng and others planned to take advantage of the king's presence and the presence of guards at each gate to kill the general Sima Shi, replace him with Xia Houxuan, and make Zhang Ji the hussar general. . Li Feng secretly colluded with Su Shuo, the supervisor of Huangmen, Letun, the governor of Yongning, and Liu Xian, the red servant, and said: "You guys have done a lot of illegal things in the inner court. The general Sima Shi is strict, unkind, and repetitive." Change, the fate of Zhang Dang's death can serve as a warning to you, sooner or later the steel knife will be put on your necks." Su Shuo and others became frightened, and agreed to follow his orders and become the insiders who killed Sima Shi.
However, Master Sima heard the news and planned to invite Li Feng to meet him. Li Feng knew that something was wrong, so he dared not tell the truth, so he had to evade his words. Master Sima was furious, so he beat Li Feng to death with the iron ring on the handle of his sword, and delivered the body to Tingwei. Then he arrested Li Tao, Xia Houxuan, Zhang Ji and others, and sent them to Tingwei for custody. At that time, Zhong Yu was in charge of the interrogation and prison administration. He said: "Li Feng conspired with Su Shuo, the supervisor of the Yellow Gate, Letun, the commander of the Yongning Palace, Liu Xian, the red servant, and others. They planned to use all the troops in each battalion on the day of paying homage to the nobles. Guarding the gate of the palace, when His Majesty approached the front porch, he led all the officers and soldiers to go and kill the general. If Your Majesty did not obey, they would kidnap Your Majesty and leave. They conspired to make Xia Houxuan the general and Zhang Ji the hussar. General, Xia Houxuan and Zhang Ji are all to blame." Sima Shi then sentenced Zhang Ji to death in prison, executed Li Tao, Xia Houxuan, Su Shuo, Ledun, Li Xian and others, and also killed the three tribes, and the rest Relatives all moved to distant frontiers.
After Chen Long silently read the deeds of the Zhang family and his son in his mind, he realized that Zhang Ji and his son were both famous officials of Cao Wei in official history. General Zhang who welcomed Li Ru into Tianshui was Zhang Ji and Zhang Jingzhong, who were more intelligent than Zhuge Liang. Can his extra thousand years of experience be worth the two extremely clever heads of Li Ru and Zhang Ji?
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
