Three Kingdoms: Why did Si Mazhao kill Wargo and Zhong Hui?

The case of Wargo has always been attributed to Zhong Hui and Sima Shi who are behind the scenes. "There is no denying that Zhong Hui, Hu Lie, Bian Shi, etc. Rebellion against Bai Ai "and Emperor Sima's usual method of" a dead rabbit cooks a bow and hides a bird "certainly played a decisive role in Wargo's death. However, a careful study of Wargo himself and his behavior reveals that Wargo is also suspected of suicide.

(a) unauthorized storage

"Success is Xiao He, and failure is me". Wargo's first achievement was to break Shu. And its first crime, but also from the beginning of breaking Shu.

In the winter of Wei Jingyuan's third year, Wei General Si Mazhao decided to attack Shu. In this grand plan to attack Shu, Deng Ai, who had been confronting Shu for a long time, "thought nothing happened and repeatedly opposed it". In court, there was a wave of opposition.

Si Mazhao was very unhappy about it. After all, Wargo was hand-picked by Sima Shi and a calf in the wasteland, but he didn't want to play the devil's advocate at this juncture. "Everyone knows the heart of Si Mazhao." If even cutting Shu is stillborn, how can we get the capital to become Qi Huangong and unify the world in the future? On balance, Si Mazhao, who was gradually suspicious, abandoned the original best coach Wargo, and instead put the position of the coach on the clever head of "welcoming the heart", nominally sending Ting Wei and Wei Guan as the army supervisor and Tian Xu as the guard of Wargo. In fact, from the beginning, they arranged for them to stage an "infernal affairs" for a rainy day. In the future, Wei and Tian Zhen were responsible for Sima Gong's entrustment, and Wargo died and built three pavilions, all thanks to him.

In November, 2004, Wargo, with less than 20,000 soldiers, "tied his horse and suspended his car, and threw himself into the river", with a strong spirit, made the later ruler Kaesong surrender. There are 280,000 households, 940,000 men and women, armored soldiers102,000, 40,000 collectors, more than 400,000 meters of guests, 2,000 Jin of gold and silver, and 200,000 pieces of brocade and silk. The rest is called this. Since then, Liu's three-point inheritance has been declared dead. The successful Wargo immediately entered Chengdu. "There is nothing left to inspect the soldiers, so it is attached to it and resumed its old business." Faced with such achievements and the current situation that "people in Shu are stupid", most people will be somewhat uncontrollable and complacent. Although Wargo is a famous figure, it is difficult to get rid of the mundane world and start to get hot-headed. And this "heat" prompted its weak strokes.

The reflection of the three kingdoms; There is a saying in The Biography of Wargo: (Wargo) According to the story of Deng Yu, he became a general who worshiped Zen and rode a title of generals in ancient times, with the prince as the chariot and the vassal horse as the conductor. All the clans in Shu followed Gao Bai Wang Guan or. Take the Yizhou secretariat as a teacher, and the prefectures in the middle of Shu as a satrap in Longxi.

The so-called sealing is to seal according to the emperor's will. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was chaos in the dynasty and disputes among the heroes. Since many people in the Han Dynasty had nothing, naturally many people made seals privately, such as Yuan Shao, Sun Ce and Gongsun Du. However, since Cao Pi created Cao Wei, Cao Wei has never been worse than the end of Han Dynasty. Only during Cao Rui's reign in Ming Di did Wei Xingtai defend Shen Yi's seal, but this case can be called a "negative example".

Jin Shu? Ji said: I lived for a long time, specializing in border defense and engraving books, and I was repeatedly criticized. When it comes to punishment, there is self-doubt. At that time, all county officials listened to the words of Emperor Jack and presented gifts to congratulate him. The emperor made people satirize the instrument, arrive at it, ask questions, insist on it, and return it to the capital.

When you are away from home, your rights are too heavy, and it is easier to get into trouble if you are sealed. In those days, Cao Cao used the emperor to deter the vassals. Therefore, in September of the twentieth year of Jian 'an, Xian Di once chartered Cao Cao to "make a promise to worship the vassals and guard the phase" in the way of "respecting outside, rewarding urgently, or expediting". Today, Wargo has broken Shu, and although he has made great contributions, he is not as powerful as it is, and he is by no means such a mortal. On the surface, Deng Ai-cheng sealed the minister of Shu on a large scale on the basis of "Deng Yu Story", but in fact it was quite similar to Shen Yi, who was "seeking defeat alone", and even more suspected of secretly reporting Cao Cao. In addition to conferring knighthood on officials, Wargo also appointed his subordinates as the prefect of Shu County, so Wargo's crime was more serious than Shenyi's.

"Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future". It was planted in Sima Yi's hands, and now Deng Ai is facing his son Zhao, and he doesn't know how to learn from the teachings of his predecessors. Instead, he painted the tiger as a cat and the gourd as a gourd. No matter whether Wargo planted flowers unintentionally or intentionally, this stupid sealing trick will eventually send this broken Shu hero to the forefront. Then, the promise that will be sealed later is really the excuse of the villain. Zhong Hui, who is famous for his different ambitions, "because Deng Ai is in charge of special affairs, Mi Bai Ai is the opposite, so he calls for Ai."

(2) Wu.

In the twenty-third year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao defeated Zhang Lu and Dongchuan Ping. Later, Sima Yi advised Wei Wu to say: "If Wei Yao is in Hanzhong, Yizhou will waver and March, and it will inevitably be destroyed." Unfortunately, Wei Wu didn't think so, and quoted a sentence from a letter written by Emperor Guangwu to Cen Peng: "The people are not living well and hope to recover Sichuan." Sima Yi's idea of "looking at Sichuan from Gansu" was stillborn. However, things always have cycles. However, in the following forty years, after the destruction of Shu, Deng Ai cloned a passage "Seeing Wu from Shu" in The True Story of Sima Yi.

In December of the fourth year of Wei Jingyuan, Deng Ai was named Qiu for the achievement of Pingshu. When cutting Shu, Wargo paid tribute to the general and made a city of 6,600. This time, the number of cities increased by 20,000, with 26,600 before and after. Such astronomical figures are unique in the printing of Wei. According to common sense, Wargo, as a very important person and minister, should follow the example of Sean, the leader of the Han Dynasty, and bravely retire to preserve his sanity. However, Wargo didn't have enough people to swallow the elephant, and then he put forward the strategy of "winning Shu and watching Wu", Si Mazhao.

Reflection? Paulus Johannes, the king of mourning Yan, said in the biography of Deng Ai: "The soldiers who took the lead and became famous later, now take advantage of Wu because of calming down the situation of Shu, and Wu people are frightened and swept away." However, after the large-scale attack, the soldiers were exhausted, unable to use them easily and slow to move; Leave 20 thousand troops in Longyou and 20 thousand troops in Shu. Boiling salt promotes smelting, and it is used by military farmers to prepare ships for the downstream, and then send a message to inform them that Wu will be naturalized, but it does not depend on the levy. Today, Sun Xiu, a distant relative since An Shimin, sent Zen to Kyoto. Wu thought he was an immigrant, but he was not persuaded by the heart of change. Appropriate right to treat it, it must be next autumn and winter, Wu Shang is also flat. I thought I could get Zen King to help Feng, and I could control my wealth. There is Dong Zhuowu in the county, which is the palace. The prince's son is a duke, who eats in the county to show his favor. If Guangling and Chengyang were to treat the Wu people, they would be afraid that Wei Huaide would follow suit. "

Si Mazhao was very dissatisfied after listening to Wargo's eloquent theory about cutting Wu. Imagine that it was Wargo who played the devil's advocate when cutting Shu, and now it is also Wargo who encourages cutting Wu. This red face and black face are all disguised by one person. If it becomes the beauty of Wargo again this time, how will Sima Gong's face and prestige as the highest decision-maker survive? After thinking about it, he rejected Wargo's strategy of "seeing Wu from Shu" and only asked the military guards to give Wargo eight cold words: "Things must be reported, not done."

At the same time, Wargo is also full of anger. His painstaking plan to attack Wu was not only rejected in one fell swoop, but even a personal letter was not exchanged. What's more, from beginning to end, he fished for the moon at the bottom of the well and the blind man lit a lamp. Wargo didn't want to, so he decided to write to Si Mazhao again.

Ai said with emphasis: "I am ordered to levy, I am guided by policies, and I am obedient to evil; As for the holiday, it is also an expedient measure to attach it at the beginning of the year. Today, Shu is in the east, connected with Wu Hui, and the people live in peace. It's time to calm down. If you wait for the life of the country, you will delay the sun and the moon. During the Spring and Autumn Period, when doctors went out of Xinjiang, they could secure the country and benefit the country. Wu Weibin today; The situation is related to Shu, so we can't always collide with the plane. Sun Tzu's art of war does not seek fame or avoid sin. Although Ai has no ancient festivals, you should not feel guilty at the expense of the country. "

If writing to Si Mazhao for the first time is just complaining, then writing to Si Mazhao for the second time can be called anger and anger. This time, Wargo wrote that he didn't think it was against normal practice to make a good seal, but he brazenly defended it, saying that "it is expedient to attach it to the early stage." What's more, he even threatened that "if you wait for the life of the country, you will go back and forth and delay the sun and the moon." During the Spring and Autumn Period, when doctors went abroad, they could be safe, beneficial and specialized. "

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao ordered his ministers to go to Sima Shi's Sanma Trough, Cao Shi and Sima Shi's hegemony have copied the road of being a powerful minister. Earlier, Si Mazhao made it clear that Wargo "should report when necessary, but can't do it", but Wargo turned a deaf ear to this eight-character policy, repeatedly taking the country as a mirror and Si Mazhao as a needle, clearly showing that "your life will not be affected if you are absent. Who can resist me?" I don't know that I am a pawn of Sima, not a pawn of the country. I would rather give up the interests of the country and never do it. Si Mazhao is not a good bird, so Wargo tried his best to prevent him from being angered to death because he was suspected of wanting to be the second Cao Cao.

One wrong move and you lose the game. Since the destruction of Shu, Wargo has been a faint move step by step. This time, the stupid "looking at Wu in Shu" completely transferred this 70-year-old man from the altar to the altar.

(3) Character determines fate.

There is a saying in the world: character determines fate.

It's been three years, and it's been many years since Wargo. When Duan Zhuo, an old subordinate of Wargo, wrote a letter in memory of Wargo, he began like this: "Ai Zhongchen rebelled and was punished by the destruction of Bashu. I mourn in secret. What a pity! What a pity! Ai's nature is just urgent, and she is light and elegant. He can't cooperate with his friends, so he won't pay attention. I dare say that love is not the opposite. " During the Three Kingdoms period, Deng Ai was outstanding in martial arts and various personality defects.

When cutting Shu, Wargo used less than 20,000 soldiers, which made the aftershocks terrible and bound the monarch and his subjects. Faced with the exclusive respect for Shu officials and the first achievement that can't be copied at present, Deng Ai didn't know the benefits of the world, saying that the Shu literati said, "You have won the ears of today because of your suffering. If you encounter the followers of Wu Han, the whole army will be wiped out. " He said: "Jiang Wei has been a son for a while, and he is also worth something, so he is poor." Wargo's madness is evident.

Shortly after Wargo's death, Si Mazhao thought that he would win the heart of a scholar by living in Longyou all the year round. Now that he is dead, he is afraid of riots on the border, so he sent Tang Bin, one of Cao Shu's people, to Longyou for an unannounced visit. Unexpectedly, Tang Bin replied: "Wargo is narrow-minded and arrogant. Those who obey him call it seeing things, and those who speak frankly call it touching." Although he has a long history of Sima, participated in the work of yamen, and missed his finger when he answered correctly, he didn't want to be insulted. Rude and unpopular. It is also easy to do Ministry, which requires great efforts. Longyou suffered a lot, loved to listen, but refused to use it. Now that the army has arrived, internal and external repression is enough, and I am willing to worry about it. "

As a generation of famous soldiers galloping on the battlefield, the brilliance on the war horse has faded, but Deng Ai, a native of Yiyang, has many fatal points in personality and life. Yesterday, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, famous generals in Shu and Han dynasties, called them "enemies of ten thousand people" and were the tiger ministers of the world. But "it is good for the pawn, arrogant for the scholar-officials, and flying to the gentleman to love and respect the villain"; Wei Yan, a fellow countryman of Wargo, was "good at raising foot soldiers and brave and good at fighting", but he was "arrogant and domineering, so he avoided it at that time." Looking at Wargo again, Wargo is not only "lightly guilty of elegance and vulgarity", but also "impatient" and "ashamed of being narrow-minded and regretting being talented". In contrast, the personality defects of Guan, Zhang and Wei are dwarfed. And the above three people finally paid the price with their lives. How does Wargo survive?

Wei Guan received Wargo's orders, but Wargo's army "knew what was coming and going, and only cared about it"; Wargo was killed, three pavilions were built, and Longyou remained unchanged, which was even more "happy to hear about its disaster." At this point, the root cause of losing people's hearts is that Wargo deserves it.

There used to be a saying: a sly rabbit dies and a running dog cooks; Birds are exhausted, and good bows are hidden; Destroy the enemy and the counselor will die.
