Chapter 435
After Jiao Yi and Jiang Ban surrendered to Sima Zhao, it happened that Quan Duan's nephews Quan Yi and Quan Yi violated the national law and escorted Quan Yi's mother to the state of Wei with Quan's trilogy.

Sima Zhao was overjoyed. Zhong Hui imitated Quan Yi and Quan Yi's handwriting, wrote a letter of persuasion, and sent people to Shouchun City.

The letter said that Sun Chen was angry at Quanduan and others for his ineffectiveness in fighting, and wanted to kill the entire clan.

Sun Chen is arrogant and brutal, for the sake of superiority, he is lighter than killing, even Zhu Yi, an important general of the country, and his own people are killed, let alone Quan's family.

Believe it or not, everyone believes it anyway.

Quan Duan, Quan Yi, and Quan Jing immediately led their trilogy out of the city and surrendered to Sima Zhao.

Morale in Shouchun City was even lower.

In the first month of the third year of Ganlu (258), Zhuge Dan woke up like a dream at this time, built a large number of siege equipment, and attacked the southern encirclement five or six days and nights, trying to get out of the encirclement.

However, Sima Zhao had already made preparations, and all the newly recruited troops came.

The fortifications arranged by Wang Ji and Chen Qian are very steep, with overlapping antlers, heavy on the outside and inside, as thick as a mountain.

Surrounding the troops, they fired stone chariot rockets from the heights and burned their attacking weapons backwards. Crossbow arrows and stones rained down. However, the food in the city became more and more depleted, and Huaibei soldiers continued to escape from the city and surrendered to Sima Zhao.

Sima Zhao forgave them all, and ordered him to surrender and accept rebels under the city, shaking the last bit of morale in the city.

Victory is about to come to Sima Zhao.

All the generals wanted to fight, Wang Ji and Shi Bao also believed that the time was ripe and they should give Zhuge Dan a blow.

Sima Zhaodao: "The rebellion of the birth did not happen overnight. After gathering food and guarding it, and making friends with Wu people, he claimed to be in Huainan. Since Qin is helping each other with evil, it will be inconvenient to leave. Today, the three rebels are gathered in the isolated city. It may kill them together. I should use a long-term strategy to catch them, but stick to three sides. Then Dan, Qin, Zi, etc. will be captured."

Like Zhuge Dan and Wen Qin, Tang Zi was also a rebel general of Wei State. In the sixth year of Huangchu, Licheng County rebelled, and General Tang Consulting of Anyuan was pushed as the leader. He was defeated by Wei Jun, fled to Wu State by sea, and became General Zuo , Fenghou, Chijie.

Sima Zhao is as stable as Mount Tai, but Zhuge Dan in the city is like ants on a hot pot.

Every summer and autumn is the rainy season in Huainan, and the Huai River surges, directly flooding the city of Shouchun, destroying Sima Zhao's camp, and then Zhuge Dan sent his army to cover up the killing, recreating the grand feat of Guan Yu's flooding of the Seventh Army.

If the war goes well, not to mention the separatist rule of Huainan, it is possible to directly take control of Luoyang.

This plan has been lingering in his mind for several years. Compared with Wang Ling and Guanqiu Jian, Zhuge Dan is better at calculating.

Every year he observes the Huai River, every year.

Before raising troops, he also asked people who are proficient in astronomy to estimate that there will be heavy rain in Huainan...

However, the floating clouds above the head have been floating for more than half a year, getting thicker and thicker, but not a single drop of rain fell.

At this moment, he no longer believed in the prophecy that two waters would help each other, because he was about to face the predicament of a hunger strike.

Thousands of soldiers flee every day.

Escaping but not being able to escape, sitting in a lonely city, and the tribes were scattered, one can imagine his mood.

When he was bored, Wen Qin suggested that the Huaibei army should be dismissed altogether to save food, and that Shouchun City should be handed over to Wu Jun under his command to defend it.

The only combat forces in Shouchun City are the Huaibei soldiers and the Yuzhou Army. The other [-] to [-] Huainan Army, like the Guanqiujian tribe back then, are all farmers who have just put down their hoes.

Naturally, Zhuge Dan would not obey.

Wen Qin was stubborn, and repeatedly consulted with Zhuge Dan.

The two had always been at odds since Cao Shuang was in power.

Relying on Cao Shuang's protection, Wenqin was unscrupulous, rude and rude, and repeatedly contradicted his superiors. He offended not only Wang Ling, the governor of Yangzhou at the time, but also Zhuge Dan, the governor of Yangzhou at the time.

Seeing that Zhuge Dan did not adopt his suggestion, Wen Qin was full of complaints, and privately complained that Zhuge Dan had planned too much and procrastinated, which led to today's difficulties.

Zhuge Dan was furious when he heard the words, and killed the dead soldiers with his relatives.

Wen Qin's sons Wen Yang, Wen Hu, and Ma Long were stationed in the small town. Zhuge Dan was good at planning and led his own army to station in the town, while Wu Jun fought to the death outside.

Hearing the bad news, the two immediately wanted to lead troops into the city and kill Zhuge Dan to take revenge, but the subordinates objected one after another.

Wen Yang had no choice but to surrender to Sima Zhao with Wen Hu and Ma Long.

The generals and officials of the Wei army all suggested beheading Brother Wenyang to avenge Master Sima.

Sima Zhao, however, tried his best to reject all opinions, "Qin's crime cannot be punished, and his son should be killed, but the duck and the tiger are destined to die poor, and the city has not been pulled out. Killing him is to strengthen his heart."

Not only did they not kill the Wenyang brothers, but they also made three generals, ordering each of them to lead a hundred horsemen to patrol the city, and said in the city: "Wen Qin's son will not be killed, so why worry about the rest?"

The Huai people rushed to abandon the city and surrender.

On February [-]th of the third year of Ganlu, the sky was so gloomy that it was about to fall. Sima Zhao saw that the soldiers of Shouchun City held bows but did not shoot arrows at the Wei army. He concluded that the time was ripe to attack the city, and ordered the attack.

Wei Jun's hundreds of thousands of troops attacked on all sides, Huai Jun's hearts were scattered and they all avoided, no matter what Zhuge Dan ordered, they could not resist Wei Jun's onslaught.

In less than a day, Shouchun City fell.

When Wei Jun just rushed into the city, heavy rain fell from the sky in Huainan, and the Huai River surged, slowly submerging the Wei Jun camp.

Looking at the torrential rain in the sky, Zhuge Dan felt ashamed, could it be that Sima's fate really belonged to him?
Suddenly bowed his head and cried, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "God will not bless me, bless you thief! God also, fate also—"

The sound was like a ghost screaming, extremely miserable.

But he broke through with his own soldiers and dead men, and was beheaded by the rebellious army.

Sima Zhao ordered Zhuge's birthday to be shown to the public first, and his three tribes were exiled.

In the torrential rain, nearly a thousand soldiers and dead soldiers of Zhuge Dan were pinned to the top of the city.

"The general has an order, surrender to avoid death!"

Kill one person and ask the next.

All the people said: "I don't hate to die for Duke Zhuge."

No one surrendered, willing to die with the sword.Later generations compared Zhuge's birthday to Tian Heng of Qi.

Wu Yu, who was still resisting, saw it, and shouted: "The man is ordered by his master to save people with soldiers. He can neither overcome the enemy, but also has his hands tied to the enemy. I can't take it!"

Nai took off his helmet and held a white blade, and rushed straight at Sima Zhao, dismembering the corpse with the knife.

Among the generals of the Wu army in the city, except Yu Quan who died in battle, Tang Zi, Wang Zuo, Xu Shao, Sun Man, Sun Mi and others all surrendered to the Wei army, and Sima Zhao pardoned them all.

Wu Jun was injured, cold and starved, and Sima Zhao gave medicine soup and food, and the Wu people were very grateful.

Throughout the Huainan War, Zhuge Dan's troops were scattered, but tens of thousands of Wu troops persisted. If Zhuge Dan didn't kill Wen Qin, he could still resist one or two.

It might have been the rain.

Some people suggested that Wu people should not be used, so they should be killed.

Sima Zhao disagreed, "Let it go to me to show the generosity of a great country!"

Sima Zhao then had the name of benevolence and righteousness, and he praised the officials endlessly.

Throughout the battle, Sima Zhao overwhelmed Zhuge Dan in every way.

During the torrential rain, the young Wei Emperor was also looking at the sky, sighing and chanting: "The Zong minister is full of Chang Bo, and his physique and art are good. He Mintian is not a father? He died of a violent illness. Only Jue's disease In the first attack, if the disease is usually mild, it will become dull after a long time, and the energy will be exhausted due to sluggishness. How can medicine and stone be able to catch it? The spirit has dissipated suddenly, and the spirit has disappeared for a long time. "

The servants on the left and right, and the scattered riders dare not speak.

This Fu was originally written last year in memory of Zongzheng Cao Bing who died of illness with the army.

Now chanting it, it seems to be sad for Zhuge's birthday, more like Cao Wei Guozuo...
