Chapter 16: Gongsun Yuan was defeated and died in Xiangping, Sima Yi cheated and earned Cao Shuang

But Gongsun Yuan was the grandson of Gongsun Du in Liaodong and the son of Gongsun Kang. In the 12th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao chased Yuan Shang, but before he arrived in Liaodong, Kang killed Shang's head and Xian Cao, and Cao appointed Kang as the Marquis of Xiangping. Later Kang died, he had two sons: the eldest was Huang and the second was Yuan, both of whom were young; Kang's younger brother Gongsun Gong succeeded his position. During the time of Cao Pi, Gong was appointed General of Cheqi and Cavalry and Marquis of Xiangping. In the second year of Taihe, Yuan grew up, had both civil and military skills, and was just fighting. He took away his uncle Gongsun Gong's position, and Cao Rui appointed Yuan as Yanglie.

General, the prefect of Liaodong. Later, Sun Quan sent Zhang Mi, Xu Yan to Liaodong with gold, pearls, jade, and conferred Yuan as the King of Yan. Yuan was afraid of the Central Plains, so he beheaded Zhang and Xu and sent him to Cao Rui. Rui appointed Yuan as the Grand Sima, and Lelang Duke. Yuan was not in a good mood and discussed with the public. He called himself the King of Yan and changed the first year of Shaohan. Deputy General Jia Fan advised: "Central Plains treat the title of the lord and the title of the lord and the title of the lord and the title of the lord and the title of the lord and the title of the lord and the title of the lord and the title of the lord and the title of the lord and the title of the lord is not humble; if you are rebelling now, it is actually unsatisfactory. Sima Yi is also good at using troops and Western Shu

Zhuge Wuhou could not win, let alone the lord?" Yuan was furious and scolded Jia Fan left and right, and was about to kill him. The military officer Lun directly advised, "Jia Fan's words are the words. The sage said: "There must be evil. There are strange things in the country today: There are dogs wearing scarves, red clothes, and going up to the house to walk; there are also villagers in the south of the city to make rice, and suddenly a child died in the steamer; in the north of Xiangping, a hole suddenly fell into the ground, and a piece of meat poured out. Zhou

The circumference was several feet, with both head, face, eyes, ears, mouth and nose, but there were no hands and feet, and the swords and arrows could not be hurt, so I didn't know what. The diviner said: If there is a shape, there is no sound, and there is a mouth and a sound; if the country is destroyed, it will appear. These three are all ominous signs. The lord should avoid misfortune and make good moves, and should not act rashly." Yuan was furious and ordered the warrior to tie Lunzhi and Jia Fan to the city. He ordered the general Bei Yan to be the marshal, Yang Zuo was the vanguard, and he raised 150,000 Liao troops and rushed to Zhongyuan.

The border officials reported to the Wei lord Cao Rui. Rui was shocked and summoned Sima Yi to the court to discuss plans. Yi reported, "I have 40,000 horse-schooled officials, which is enough to defeat the thief." Rui said, "Your soldiers are few and far away, and it is afraid that it will be difficult to recover." Yi said, "There are not many soldiers, but you can set up strange and intelligent things. I entrusted Your Majesty with great blessings and must capture Gongsun Yuan to offer to Your Majesty." Rui said, "What are you doing when Gongsun Yuan takes?" Yi said, "If Yuan abandons the city and leaves, it is the best plan; guards Liao.

The eastward rejects the army, which is a plan; if you sit in the guards of Xiangping, you will be captured by your ministers." Rui said, "How long will this go?" Yi said, "A land of four thousand miles, a hundred days, a hundred days of attack, a hundred days of rest, and a sixty day rest, about a year is enough." Rui said, "If Wu and Shu invade, what will happen?" Yi said, "I have already decided on the defense strategy, your majesty should not worry." Rui was very happy and ordered Sima Yi to launch an army to attack Gongsun Yuan.

Yi Ci went out of the city and ordered Hu Zun to be the vanguard, leading the front troops to Liaodong first to go to the camp. The siege and horses were flying to report to Gongsun Yuan. Yuan ordered Bei Yan, and Yang Zuo divided 80,000 troops to be stationed in Liao Tunnel. The trench was more than 20 miles around the trench, which was very tight. Hu Zun sent a message to Sima Yi. Yi laughed and said, "The thieves do not fight with me, and want to get rid of my soldiers. I think most of the thieves are here, and their nests are empty. It is better to abandon them and run straight to Xiangping. The thieves must go to rescue them, but attack them in the middle of the road, and they will achieve complete success." So he led his troops to head towards Xiangping from a small path.

But Bei Yan discussed with Yang Zuo and said, "If the Wei soldiers come to attack, don't fight with him. He came thousands of miles away, and the food and grass were not maintained, and it would be difficult to last. He would retreat all the food. When he retreated, he would attack him and Sima Yi could capture him. Sima Yi and Shu soldiers refused and defended Weinan. Kong Ming died in the army: Today is the same as this." While the two were discussing, they suddenly reported: "The Wei soldiers went south." Bei Yan was shocked and said, "I know that my Xiangping army was young and went to attack the old camp. If there was any mistake in Xiangping, it would be useless for us to defend here." So he pulled out the camp and then stood up. A long time ago, a probe from Ma Fei reported to Sima Yi. Yi laughed and said, "I have been my plan!" He ordered Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Wei to lead an army to lie down.

On the shore of the Liao River: "It's like the Liao soldiers coming, two go out at the same time." The two of them were trapped and went there. They saw Bei Yan early, and Yang Zuo led their troops to come. With a cannon, they yelled and shaking flags on both sides: Xiahou Ba on the left and Xiahou Wei on the right, they all rushed out together. Bei, Yang and the other two had no intention of fighting and took the way. When they rushed to Shoushan, they were about to meet Gongsun Yuan's troops, and they joined their troops and returned to fight with the Wei soldiers. Bei Yan went out to scold, "Don't use tricks for the thief! Do you dare to fight?" Xiahou Ba rode his horse and waved his sword to welcome him. After a few rounds of battles, he was killed by Xiahou Ba with one sword. The Liao soldiers were in chaos. Ba drove the troops to kill him. Gongsun Yuan led the defeated troops into Xiangping City, and he stayed behind closed doors and did not leave. The Wei soldiers surrounded him on all sides.

It was raining continuously, and the month was not stopped. The water was three feet deep in the flat ground. The grain transport ships were from the mouth of Liaohe River to the bottom of Xiangping City. The Wei soldiers were all in the water and were uneasy to sit. The left governor Pei Jing entered the tent and said, "The rain cannot stop, the camp is muddy, the army cannot stop, please move to the mountain ahead." Yi said angrily, "Catch Gongsun Yuan only in the evening, how can you move the camp? If anyone else says to move the camp again!" Pei Jing retreated. After a while, the right governor Qiu Lian came to tell again, "The army is in a bad way, so I beg the Grand Marshal to move the high place of the camp." Yi was furious and said, "My army order has been issued, why dare you disobey it!" He ordered him to be pushed out and beheaded, and hung his head outside the gate. So the army was shocked.

Yi ordered the Nanzhai to retreat for a temporary twenty miles, and led the soldiers and civilians in the city to go out to the city to pick wood and firewood, and shepherd cattle and horses. Sima Chen Qun asked, "When the former Taiwei attacked Shangyong, his troops were divided into eight groups. He rushed to the city in eight days and then captured Mengda alive and achieved great success. Now he brought 40,000 armor and came thousands of miles. He did not order to attack the city, but he lived in the mud for a long time and allowed the thieves to be wood and herding herders. I really didn't know what the Taiwei was thinking?" Yi laughed and said, "Don't you know the military strategy? In the past, Mengda had too much food, but I had too little food, and I had too much soldiers, so we must fight quickly; if we were unintentional, we could suddenly attack him to win. Now there are many soldiers in Liao, and I have few soldiers. The thieves were hungry and I had enough, so why should we attack? Just let them go and then take the opportunity to attack him.

I will let go of a road and never stop the woods and herdsmen, so that I can let them go." Chen Qun congratulated me.

So Sima Yi sent someone to Luoyang to urge grain. Cao Rui, the leader of Wei, set up a court, and all the ministers reported, "The autumn rain has been continuous recently, and the month has not stopped. People are tired. Sima Yi can be recalled, and Quan will be dismissed." Rui said, "Sima Taiwei is good at using troops, and he is in danger and has many good plans. He will capture Gongsun Yuan and wait for the day. Why should you worry?" So he did not listen to the advice of the ministers and sent people to transport grain to Sima Yi's army.

Yi was in the camp, and after a few days, the rain stopped and the sky was clear. That night, Yi left his tent and looked up at the sky. Suddenly, he saw a star, which was as big as a bucket, and it was several feet long. He turned to the northeast of Shandong and fell to the southeast of Xiangping. All the soldiers in each camp were shocked. When Yi saw it, he said to the generals: "Five days later, the star will fall, and you will be killed by Gongsun Yuan. In the future, you can attack the city together." The generals received the order, and the next morning, they led their troops to encircle them, build earthen mountains, dig tunnels, set up cannon stands, and install cloud ladders. They attacked day and night, and arrows shot into the city like rain.

Gongsun Yuan had finished all the food in the city, and they all slaughtered cattle and horses for food. Everyone was resentful and had no intention of guarding the emperor. He wanted to kill Yuan's head and surrender. Yuan heard this and was very shocked and worried. He ordered the prime minister, King Jian, and the censor Liu Fu to ask for surrender to Weizhai. The two tied the city from the top of the city and came to tell Sima Yi, "Please ask the Grand Marshal to retreat twenty miles, and my king and ministers will come to surrender." Yi was furious and said, "Why didn't Gongsun Yuan come? It's very unreasonable!"

Chi Wushi beheaded him and gave him the head to the follower. Gongsun Yuan was shocked and sent Shizhong Wei Yan to the Wei camp. Sima Yi was promoted to the tent and gathered the generals to stand on both sides. Yan walked forward and knelt under the tent, and said, "I hope the Grand Marshal should calm down the anger of thunder. The prince Gongsun should first send his cultivation to the monarch and his ministers to surrender." Yi said, "There are five major military affairs: if you can fight, you should fight, you should defend, you should go, you should surrender, you should die! Why send your son to the throne?" Chi Wei Yan returned to Gongsun Yuan, and Yan ran away with his head in his arms.

Returning to Gongsun Yuan, Yuan was shocked, so he secretly discussed with his son Gongsun Xiu to stop and select a thousand horses. At the second o'clock that night, he opened the south gate and walked southeast. Yuan saw that there was no one, and he was secretly happy. After walking less than ten miles, he suddenly heard a cannon sound on the mountain, and the drums and horns were ringing: A soldier stopped him, and the center was Sima Yi; there was Sima Shi on the left and Sima Zhao on the right, and the two shouted, "Don't leave!" Yuan was shocked and rushed to find a way to leave. Hu Zun's army had arrived; there were Xiahou Ba on the left and Xiahou Wei on the right, and Zhang Hu on the right, and Leju: Iron surrounded on all sides

The barrels are similar. Gongsun Yuan and his son had to step down and surrender. Yi looked at the generals on the horse and said, "On the day before Bingyin, I saw the big star falling here. Tonight, it will be the day of Renshen." The generals said, "The Taiwei is a real god!" Yi ordered him to behead him. Gongsun Yuan and his son were stabbed opposite him. Sima Yi then ordered his troops to capture Xiangping. Before he arrived at the city, Hu Zun led his troops into the city. The people in the city burned incense and greeted him, and all the Wei soldiers entered the city. Yi sat on the yamen, led the Gongsun Yuan clan, and accomplices the bureaucrats, and all killed them, with more than 70 heads.

The people of the Bang An people told Yi: Jia Fan, Lunzhi was so hard that he would not rebel, and they were all killed by Yuan. Yi then conferred his tomb and honor his descendants. He then rewarded the property in the warehouse and sent three armies to return to Luoyang. However, the Lord of Wei was in the palace. At the third update of the night, a gust of cold wind blew out the lights. Queen Mao led dozens of palace people to cry to the seat for his life. Rui became ill. The illness became worse and he ordered the minister Guanglu Dafu Liu Fang and Sun Zi to take charge of all the affairs of the Privy Council. He also summoned Emperor Wen's son, King Yan, Cao Yu, as the general, and assisted Prince Cao Fang, to the regent of the prince. Yu was a man

He was respectful and gentle, and he was not willing to take this great task, so he refused to accept it. Rui summoned Liu Fang, and Sun Zi asked, "Who can be appointed within the clan?" The two of them had been favored by Cao Zhen for a long time, so they Bao reported, "Only Cao Shuang, the son of Cao Zidan, can be done." Rui followed him. The two of them also reported, "If you want to use Cao Shuang, you should send the King of Yan back to the country." Rui said, "There is an edict for Rui and sent the King of Yan to the emperor, and the emperor ordered the King of Yan to return to the country. The limit was to be done today; if there is no edict, you will not be allowed to enter the court." The King of Yan cried and left. Then he appointed Cao Shuang as the general and took charge of the government affairs.

Rui was getting more and more ill, so he ordered the envoy to return to the court with a ritual. Yi received the order and went straight to Xuchang and went to see the Wei master. Rui said, "I am afraid that I will not be able to see you; if I see you today, I will die without any regrets." Yi paused his head and said, "I was on the way. I heard that Your Majesty's body was uneasy, and I wish I could not bear the wings and flew to the palace. Today I saw the dragon face, which is my blessing." Rui Xuan's Crown Prince Cao Fang, General Cao Shuang, Shi Zhongjun Liu Fang, Sun Zi and others all came to the imperial bed. Rui held Sima Yi's hand and said, "When Liu Xuande was critically ill in Baidi City, he entrusted his youngest son Liu Chan to Zhuge Kongming, so Kongming was loyal to him.

Only after death did he stop: This is the case in the side country, let alone a great country? My youngest son Cao Fang was only eight years old and could not control the country. Fortunately, the Taiwei and his elder brother, the old ministers of Zong brothers, tried their best to help each other and did not let my heart down!" He called Fang again and said, "Zhongda is one with me, so you should respect him." So he ordered Yi to bring Fang to the front. Fang hugged Yi's neck and said, "Taiwei should not forget the love of his youngest son today!" After speaking, he burst into tears. Yi cried. The Wei Lord was drowsy and could not speak. He only pointed to the prince with his fingers, and died in a moment. He was thirteen years old and lived in the late spring of the third year of Jingchu of Wei.

At present, Sima Yi, Cao Shuang, helped the crown prince Cao Fang ascended the throne. Fang's courtesy name Lan Qing, was the son of Rui's begging for raising him. No one knew where he came from. So Cao Fang posthumously named Rui as Emperor Ming and buried in Gaopingling; honored Empress Guo as Empress Dowager; changed the first year of Zhengshi. Sima Yi and Cao Shuang assisted the government. Shuang was very careful and would first know when responding to major events. Shuang's courtesy name Zhaobo, and he went out of the palace since he was a child. Emperor Ming saw Shuang being cautious and respectful. There were 500 guests under Shuang's sect, and five of them praised for their glamorous appearance: one was He Yan, whose courtesy name was Pingshu; the other was Deng Fei, whose courtesy name was Xuanmao, and who was descended from Deng Yu; the other was Li Sheng, whose courtesy name was Gongzhao; the other was Ding Mi, whose courtesy name was Yanjing; the other was Bigui, whose courtesy name was Zhaoxian. There were also Grand Secretary Huan Fan, whose courtesy name was Yuanze, who was quite wise and thought tanks. These few people trusted them.

He Yan told Shuang, "The lord is powerful and cannot entrust others, for fear of future troubles. Shuang said, "Sima Gong and I were ordered by the emperor to be entrusted by the orphans. How can you bear to bear it?" Yan said, "When the lord and Zhongda defeated the Shu army, they were overwhelmed by this person and died. How can the lord not be careful?" Shuang suddenly realized, and then he decided to stop with many officials and reported to the Wei lord Cao Fang, saying, "Sima Yi has great merits and great virtues, and can be added to the Taifu." Fang followed him, and since then the military power was all returned to Shuang. Shuang ordered his younger brother Cao Xi to be the leader of the Central Army, Cao Xun as the general of the Wuwei, Cao Yan as the regular attendant of the cavalry, and each led three thousand imperial guards to go to and from the forbidden palace. He also used He Yan, Deng Fei, Ding Mi as the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty, Bi Gui as the Sili School Commander, and Li Sheng as the Yin of Henan

: These five people discussed matters with Shuang day and night. So Cao Shuang's guests were growing. Sima Yi refused to leave, and both of them retired from their posts and lived in leisure. Shuang drank and had fun with He Yan and others every day: they used clothes and utensils, which were no different from the court. They paid tribute and played with rare things everywhere, and first took the best and entered the palace, and then entered the palace. Zhang Dang of the yellow gate flattered Cao Shuang and privately selected seven or eight concubines of the late emperor and sent them to the palace. Shuang also selected thirty or forty children of good families to enjoy the family. He also built a heavy building painting pavilion, made gold and silver utensils, and used hundreds of skilled craftsmen to work day and night. However, He Yan heard that Pingyuan was in charge of the numerology and asked him to discuss the "Book of Changes". At that time, Deng Yang was sitting and asked, "You said that you were good at the "Book of Changes" and said

Why is it not as good as the meaning of the "Yi" in "Yi"?" Lu said, "Those who are good at "Yi" do not talk about "Yi"." Yan smiled and praised him and said, "It can be said that he should not be bothered." So he said, "I want to say it is not troublesome." He said, "I will divine a divination for me: Can I reach the three dukes?" He asked, "I dreamed of dozens of green flies and came to gather on my nose. What is this sign?" Lu said, "Yuan, Kai assisted Shun, and Zhou Duke assisted Zhou, all of whom are kind and humble and respectful, and enjoyed a lot of blessings. Now the lord and lords are respectful, but those who are magnanimous and have few virtues, and many fear power are not the way to seek blessings. Besides, the nose is a mountain; the mountain is high but not dangerous, so it is a long and noble. Now the blue flies are smelly and evil and gathered. The steep ones are overwhelming, so you are not afraid? I hope that the lord and lords will be more and less, and do not walk if you are not etiquette: Then the three dukes can arrive, and the blue flies can be

"Deng Yang said angrily, "This is the old man who talks about it!" Lu said, "The old man who sees it will not be born, and the people who talk about it will not be talked about it." So he turned his sleeves and left. The two laughed and said, "It's a really crazy man!" Lu came home and told his uncle. Uncle was shocked and said, "Why, Deng and others are very powerful, why can you violate it?" Lu said, "What are you afraid of?" Lu asked about the reason. Lu said, "Deng Yang walks around, his tendons do not bind his bones, his veins do not control flesh, and he stands up and leans, as if there is no hands and feet: This is the appearance of ghosts and irritation. He Yan looks at the face, his soul does not guard the house, his blood is not gorgeous, his essence is refreshing, his face is as cool as a dry tree: This is the appearance of ghosts and ghosts. The two of them will have a disaster of killing themselves sooner or later, so why should they be afraid!" His uncle cursed Lu for being a crazy son and left.

However, Cao Shuang once hunted with He Yan, Deng Fei and others. His younger brother Cao Xi advised, "Brother is too powerful, and he likes to go out to hunt. If it is calculated by others, he regrets it." Shuang scolded, "The military power is in my hands, why are you afraid of it?" The Siyuan Yuan Huan Fan also advised, but he refused to listen. At that time, Cao Fang, the lord of Wei, changed the tenth year of Zhengshi, and was the first year of Jiaping. Cao Shuang has always been the power of power, but he did not know the weakness of Zhongda. When the Wei lord was eliminated by Li Sheng as the governor of Jingzhou, he ordered Li Sheng to go to Zhongda and find out the news. Sheng went straight to the Taifu's mansion, and a disciple had already reported it to him. Sima Yi said to his two sons, "This is the incoming Cao Shuang to come to investigate the weakness of my illness." Then he went to Guansanfa

, he went to bed and sat with a quilt, and ordered two maids to support Ce, and asked Li Sheng to enter the mansion. Sheng went to the bed and bowed, "I have never seen the Taifu, who would have thought he was so seriously ill. Today, I ordered someone to be the sect official of Jingzhou, and I came to say goodbye." Yi pretended to answer, "Bingzhou is near Shuofang, so I want to prepare for it." Sheng said, "Abandoned the governor of Jingzhou is not Bingzhou." Yi laughed and said, "You are coming from Bingzhou?" Sheng said, "The Han Dynasty went to Jingzhou. Yi laughed and said, "You are coming from Jingzhou!" Sheng said, "How did the Taifu get so sick?" The left and right said, "The Taifu is deaf." Sheng said, "Begging for paper and pen to use it." Take paper and pen and Sheng.

After Sheng finished writing, he presented it to him. Yi looked at it and said, "I am deaf. Let's take care of it." After speaking, he pointed to the mouth. The maid went to Tang. Yi was about to take his mouth. Tang was pouring his mouth and Tang was flowing all over his collar. Then he choked and said, "I am old and sick now, and I die in the morning and night. The two sons are not worthy. I hope you will teach him. If you see the general, look at the two sons!" After speaking, he fell on the bed, screaming and panting. Li Sheng bowed to Zhongda, and returned to Cao Shuang and said in detail. Shuang was very happy and said, "If this old is dead, I will be free from worries!" Sima Yi saw that Li Sheng had left, so he stood up and said to the two sons, "Li Sheng is leaving here to repay the news, Cao Shuang will not be able to do so.

I am afraid of me. I will only wait until he goes out of the city to hunt and hunt." Not long ago, Cao Shuang asked the Wei lord Cao Fang to visit Gaopingling to worship the former emperor. All officials from all over the city followed him out of the city. Shuang led his third brother, his confidant He Yan and others, and the imperial guards guarded the emperor. The general of the imperial guards was on his way. The general of the army, Huan Fan, knocked on the horse and advised him, "The lord is the chief lord, and it is not suitable for all his brothers to go out. If there is any change in the city, what should I do?" Shuang scolded him with a whip and said, "Who dares to change? Don't talk nonsense!" On the same day, Sima Yi was overjoyed when he saw Shuang leaving the city. He immediately got up with his old men who defeated the enemy. He also had dozens of generals, led his two sons to go on the horse and came to murder Cao Shuang.
