Chapter 22: Zhaoxue

The Son of Heaven looked at the qi technique, but it was not the personal natal qi of the past, but a line of blood-colored killing words, and in the murderous aura, there were seven killing words floating, which turned out to be seven killing stars all into life.

The "Seven Killing Stars" are called "Jiang Xing", which belongs to fire and gold, and the sixth star of the Southern Dipper, which is the general star, and the emperor is the right.

Among the fourteen main stars, the personality is the strongest, and it is a resolute and brave star, symbolizing might, turning qi into a general star, and the lord is killed.

With the ability to strategize, with the characteristics of fierce and extreme, reckless and competitive, risky and difficult, life is good or bad, success or failure is difficult to judge.

Seven Killing Star South Dipper Sixth Star, this star into the life, focusing on self-transformation, there is a system of name partial officials, there is a jade silk, numerology is the first to kill, on killing is to look at the strength or weakness of the seven kills, if the seven kills are prosperous and the sun is weak, at this time it is necessary to use the system to kill, so as not to kill the seven kills by fortune to attack the Japanese lord, if there is no system, the seven kills are not the fate of the favorite use of God, this kill becomes a ghost, at this time there is a threat to the Japanese lord and no benefit, hidden risks, such as hugging the tiger and sleeping, at any time will be swallowed by it The most obvious hindrance to life and health, when he was young, there were many disasters and difficulties, If you don't die, you will also prolong your life, so the seven killings are also listed as one of the six murders.

Representatives of this star personality such as Bai Qi, the head of the four famous generals of the Warring States, are also known as Gongsun Qi.

The world said: "The enemy mutates, surprisingly endless, and the sound shocks the world." ”

In the war of leading the troops to attack Korea, he repeatedly made surprise soldiers and became famous in the first war, and in the following decades, Bai Qitong led the Qin army to fight in the south and the north, and was invincible; Set up suspicious soldiers to paralyze the Wei and Han coalition forces and force them to sue for peace; used flooding to force the state of Chu to move its capital; The battle with the Zhao army in Changping, Bai Qi lured the enemy deep with a trick of deception, and then gathered to annihilate, which can be called a classic in military history, because of the battle of Changping, Bai Qi ordered the Qin army to capture and kill the Zhao army a total of 450,000 people, so it is called "the first killing god in the ages".

Bai Qi fought on the battlefield for 37 years in his life, captured more than 70 cities, annihilated more than one million enemies, and did not taste defeat, but the good beginning may not be able to end well, Bai Qi has an upright personality, repeatedly resisted the order of the King of Qin, and was finally given death.

There is also a man named Lian Po; Yan Zhao Gu is known as a man of many heroes, and Lian Po is a famous general of Zhao who killed seven times, and was named a general because of his military exploits.

Personality is upright, stubborn and arrogant, although he will win every battle when fighting with the enemy, but because of repeated conflicts with his comrades, his career is not smooth, and he finally ends up depressed; Therefore, the person who kills the seven must often sigh: "It is easy to fight the enemy, but it is difficult to make fellowship with friends." ”

Like the conflict between him and Lin Xiang, the result was okay, the two formed a neck-to-neck friendship, lived and died together, and kept the country of Zhao for 20 years.

But after the death of Lin Xiangru, there was a lack of strategists, in the Battle of Changping, because he disdained to report to the King of Zhao in detail, so that the King of Zhao lost trust in him, so he fell into the counter-plot of the Qin State, and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo on paper and failed miserably, and was killed by the Qin general Bai Qikeng, who was also seven kills, and surrendered 400,000 troops, and the national strength of the Zhao State was weakened.

What's worse is that without Lin Xiangru's intermediary coordination, he and the general of Zhao State, who was also a seven-killer, attacked each other, and as a result, both were defeated, and he had to defect to Wei.

But because he was idle by the Wei State, he couldn't bear to have nothing to do, and Lian Po returned to Zhao to ask for help, but the powerful minister Guo Kai deliberately slandered him and replied to King Zhao that although Lian Po still had a lot of food, he couldn't help but pee, and he was dying of old age and would never be used again.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, there were also star monarchs who were killed; However, if you want to say that the most famous Seven Killing Star Monarch is Guan Yu, the general of Ji Han; After Liu, Guan, and Zhang Taoyuan became inseparable, Guan Yu shone in the process of competing for hegemony, and his family stories are numerous:

In order to protect Gan and Mi from being bullied, he had to surrender to Cao Cao and committed himself to Cao Cao, after Cao arrived in Xuchang with the Cao army, Cao Cao was tempted by Gao Jue, Houlu and beauty, Guan Yu was unmoved and refused, and was deeply respected and admired by Cao Cao and the generals.

The battle of Shiguandu, Yuan Shao's forward Yan Liang led the army to attack Cao Cao, approaching the white horse, Cao Ying lost several generals, and the soldiers were killed and wounded countless times, in order to repay the grace of the encounter, Guan Yu was obliged to send troops to resist the enemy, galloping like flying in front of the battle, showing extraordinary martial arts skills, Yan Liang was killed by Leng Yan saw, and the Cao army took the opportunity to cover up and kill, and won a big victory; After the war, Cao Cao rewarded the court for his merits and crowned Guan Yu as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion.

Soon Guan Yu received Liu Bei's letter, immediately sealed the gold, escorted Liu Bei's family away from Xu Du, during the wisdom and courage to break through the five passes, six guards unfortunately died, forced Cao Cao to tremble, had to order to be released, the achievement of five passes and six generals, thousands of miles to ride alone prestige, but also with the ancestor to complete the brotherhood, and then in the ancient city to find Zhang Fei, the three brothers since then inseparable, to fight the end of the world.

Later Liezu lived in Xinye and Jiangxia, and then allied with Sun Quan's coalition army, and defeated Cao Cao in Chibi, Guan Yu was ordered to garrison Huarong Road to intercept Cao's army, and Cao Cao, who was displaced, intended to break through the pass and return to the north.

Guan Yu saw Cao Cao's defeat and was tired of running for his life, recalling the kindness of the tiger returning to the mountain, and he couldn't bear to struggle in his heart, and finally in order to repay the old kindness, he was willing to take the risk of signing a military order.

Then Liezu led the generals to pacify Bashu, entrusted Jingzhou to Guan Yu, the so-called one husband is invincible, Guan Yu guarded the state for more than ten years, and effectively blocked the forces of all parties by virtue of his prestige, and finally became a three-legged prototype, so that Liu Bei had no worries.

Guan Yu, who is proud of Guan Yu, was crowned with benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith, but the defective character of the seven killing stars who are rigid and self-conscious, and self-serving, also buried hidden dangers, Sun Quan to Guan Yu's power is like a thorn in the back, often looking at Jingzhou who has borrowed no return, and then General Guan launched an attack on Xiangfan, and after occupying Wan, Luo and other places, the northern region was divided from it, in addition to the strategy proposed by the first prime minister, it can also contain the opportunity to unify the Central Plains.

Cao Cao felt threatened, and hurriedly sent Xu Huang to lead the troops to rescue, and also rushed to Luoyang from Guanzhong, personally sitting in charge of urging the rescue operation, Guan Yu's battle was unstoppable and shocked China. Cao Cao shuddered in order to avoid the edge, and even planned to move the capital to Hebei, fortunately Sima Yi stated the interests and suggested that he send an envoy south to join Wu, and sure enough, he learned that Jiangdong had conspired to seize Jingzhou's strategy, Sun Quan paralyzed Guan Yu, and asked the governor Lu Meng to resign due to illness, and chose the unknown Confucian general Lu Xun to replace him.

After that, General Guan was defeated and took Maicheng, and Ji Han's great cause was frustrated, but General Guan's name of loyalty and righteousness will last forever.

After that, Ji Han's Seven Killing Star Monarch was Wei Yan, the general of Zhengxi, and like the rest of the Seven Killing Star Monarchs, they all died unexpectedly, some people sighed for it, and some people applauded it.

In August of the twelfth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang, who was on the front line of the Northern Expedition, suddenly fell ill, and after he learned that he would die soon, he made the following arrangements for the advance and retreat of the entire Northern Expedition army:

Mi and Changshi Yang Yi, Sima Feiyi, and Jiang Wei, the protector, etc., retired from the army after their deaths, and after the order was delayed, Jiang Wei followed; If it is delayed or disobeyed, the army will spontaneously take the initiative.

Judging from the subsequent development of events, this arrangement was the direct cause of Wei Yan's case.

Why? Because the arrangement itself is strange.

First of all, the word "secret" is used in this passage, "secret", which means "secret" and "secret", that is, before Zhuge Liang died of illness, he secretly held a bedside meeting with Yang Yi, Fei Yi, and Jiang Wei, and didn't want others to know, so who would know?

There is no doubt that in addition to Sima Yi on the other side of Weishui, there is also his own person Wei Yan here.

Wei Yan was not only the vanguard general of the Northern Expeditionary Army at that time, but also as a "former military division, general of the expedition to the west, Marquis of Southern Zheng, and false festival", and was the second person in the army after Zhuge Liang.

Secondly, judging from the content of this meeting, it is even more suspicious, and this meeting involves an issue of power transfer.

When Zhuge Liang was alive, as the prime minister and actual leader of Shu Han, he was naturally the unique commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but when he died, the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was still in confrontation with the Wei army, should be given temporary command to who should be controlled, which is a practical issue that must be considered.

Wei Yan's official position is the general of Zhengxi, the former military division, the marquis of Nanzheng, and the fake festival, which is naturally his, but the prime minister chose not him.

And what happened after that was a tragedy, Wei Yan was also branded as a thief, and then slaughtered all over the house.

And whether Wei Yan is against or not, it is actually easy to see clearly.

First of all, Wei Yan did not deny Zhuge Liang's last words, he purely thought that Zhuge Liang was wrong; So unless Zhuge Liang ordered Wei Yan to be the commander of the Northern Expedition, it would be impossible for Wei Yan to listen to Zhuge Liang's words.

Zhuge Liang's death is very important, he must plan for the future of Shu Han, and for the sake of the overall situation, it is impossible to satisfy Wei Yan alone.

Zhuge Liang admired Wei Yan and Yang Yi very much, but he also knew their shortcomings, so it was not the two of them who inherited the mantle in the end.

From the overall situation, the situation in Shu is very bad, after the battle of Yiling, Zhuge Liang finally trained a team of elite soldiers (tens of thousands of foot soldiers, long drive Qishan, and have the ambition to drink Ma Heluo), in order to keep this fire, Zhuge Liang did not dare to fight a tough battle at all.

The Second Northern Expedition did not storm Chencang; Five out of Qishan, at the end of the day, he did not attack Sima Yi's camp, and Sima Yi could only spend it with him if he didn't come out.

Because the prime minister knew that the national strength of Shu Han could not withstand the loss, and only through the field battle to annihilate the living force and encroach step by step, but unfortunately the opposite was the most famous ninja master in history, Sima Yi.

After several Northern Expeditions, the prime minister also knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to win, he must wait for the world to change; He tried his Northern Expedition several times to change his life through his own ability, although it was unsuccessful, but at least the gap between the Han and Wei dynasties did not widen further.

If he dies, it doesn't mean that Han will die, and he can still give Jiang Wan and them a chance to wait for the world to change, and this opportunity is this elite soldier of the Northern Expedition, but if the Northern Expedition troops are buried together, then Han really has no chance at all.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang's last order could only be a retreat, and it was impossible for Wei Yan to go on a northern expedition.

What about Wei Yan at this time? He is not a military master, not as good as the most famous Meridian Valley plot, the core of which is to take advantage of the situation to conquer Chang'an City.

It is true that if Chang'an City is really captured, then Wei Yanhe's great military exploits can be called in full swing, but the whole plan is about Xiahou Mao's escape, not a strategic conflict with the prime minister to destroy the enemy's living forces.

What's more, is it really wise to occupy the enemy's big cities without being able to solve the field corps?

Ji Han did not annihilate the living forces through movement warfare, and occupied Chang'an with all his heart, and then the enemy's support came, and the prime minister did not retreat.

If the Meridian Valley conspiracy wants to succeed, then, the ultimate goal should be Tongguan, not Chang'an.

If Wei Yan can pull out his teeth and fight Tongguan, he will defend the pass and resist the support of Zhang He's cavalry, forming a pattern of closing the gate and fighting dogs.

Then Zhuge Liang will completely annihilate Guo Huai's army and pacify Guanzhong, then there may still be a fight, so the question is, can Wei Yan take 5,000 people to defeat Tongguan?

The prime minister naturally knew what Wei Yan was like, and he also knew that he was dead, and Wei Yan would definitely want to continue the Northern Expedition.

But I don't feel worried about what to do with him. That's why there are many people who don't understand the last words.

First of all, if this last word only explained Yang Yi's retreat, Wei Yan would break it. It's really easy to understand, but what if Wei Yan doesn't listen,

If the prime minister didn't explain and go with Wei Yan, then how dare Yang Yi and the others throw Wei Yan here and run by themselves?

They don't have the courage to do it, but I'm afraid that the two sides will fight on the spot. Then Zhuge Liang didn't vomit blood once in the ground.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang's arrangement is actually a very perfect arrangement.

If Wei Yan is allowed to go on a northern expedition, this army will not be able to keep it, and if Yang Yi is allowed to retreat, the two sides will fight on the spot.

That's why Zhuge Liang made such a decision, and Wei Yan's troops were in charge of Wei Yan. If Wei Yan took the people in his hands to the Northern Expedition, he might be able to rub his sharp spirit if he failed, and if the soldiers were defeated and died, then Zhuge Liang would not be able to control it.

If Wei Yan came back after fighting for a while, Zhuge Liang would have already helped him think of a way to exonerate him, because Zhuge Liang's last order was broken.

Whether it is a late return, or a fight with Wei that leads to the loss of troops and generals, there is a legitimate reason.

The prime minister is not unkind, and he has to think of such a balanced arrangement before he dies. Who knew that Wei Yan chose a path of no return, maybe even Zhuge Liang didn't expect Wei Yan's heart to make a contribution so eagerly, so he had to take all the troops with him.

And among them, no one knows what Yang Yi and others did, only saying that Wei Yan rebelled, but it was actually a ploy for several of them to seize power, the prime minister was dead, they killed Wei Yan's power, and ordered the Quartet, it is likely to take over the rights of Ji Han, of course, Yang Yi did not succeed in the end.

At this time, in the Yuxian Hotel, after some analysis by Yang Yi, Yan Shou, Wei Qiu and others, Wei Qiu, who was crying silently at this time, suddenly stood up, and then bowed and said: "Please Gongzi for my ancestor Zhaoxue." ”
