Introducing Deng Ai

Deng Ai was born in Jiyang, Yiyang. When he was young, Taizu broke through Jingzhou and moved to Runan, where he raised calves for farmers. In the twelfth year of his life, he followed his mother to Yingchuan and read the inscription on the inscription of Chen Shi, the former chief of Taiqiu, which said, "Writing is a model for the world, and behavior is a scholar's code." Ai then named himself Fan, with the courtesy name Shize. Later, there were others in the same clan, so they changed it. As a Duwei bachelor, he is not allowed to serve as an assistant because of his stuttering. Guarding the rice fields. The father of an official in the same county took pity on his poor family and gave him a generous salary, but Ai Chu refused to thank him. Every time I see high mountains and great swamps, I often draw pictures of military camps, which makes many people smile. Later, he was a dianonggangji, a planner, and he was sent to see the Taiwei King Sima Xuan. King Xuan was curious about it and turned it into a banquet. Shi Yu said: Deng Ai Shao was a member of the Dian Nong tribe in Xiangcheng. He and Shi Bao were both twelve and thirteen years old. The visitor is Yangzhai Guo Xuanxin, the son of Guo Dan Yuanyi, the supervisor of Emperor Wu. In Jian'an, Shaofu Jiben raised troops in Xudu, and Xuanxin was sentenced to death at home. He asked for help from Diannong Sima, and took Ai and Bao with him for more than ten miles. Mutually. Empress Ai was a meritorious Cao Cao of Dian Nong and was envoyed to King Xuan. From this, she learned about it and was promoted. Moved to Shangshu Lang. At that time, the Lord wanted to have a large field for livestock and grain. In order to destroy the bandits, he sent Ai Xingchen and Xiang Ji east to Shouchun. Ai thought that "there is little water in the fields and it is not enough to make the best use of the land. It is better to open canals to divert water for irrigation, to accumulate military supplies, and to transport canals." He wrote a treatise on rivers to describe what he meant. He also thought that "in the past, the Yellow Turban was broken because of the cultivation of fields and the accumulation of grain in Xudu to control the four directions. Now the three corners have been decided, and the matter is in Huainan. Every time a large army is raised, more than half of the troops are transported, and the effort is huge, and it is considered a big battle. Between Chen and Cai , the soil is good, and the rice fields around Xuchang can be saved, and the water can be sent to the east. There are 20,000 people in Huaibei and 30,000 people in Huainan. There are always 40,000 people, and the fields are full of water and the harvest is always 30,000. It is twice as large as that of the West. After taking into account the public expenses, 5 million dendrobium will be used as military resources in six or seven years. Thirty million dendrobium can be accumulated in the Huaihe River. This means that the army of 100,000 can feed Wu for five years. You can't defeat it if you go forward. "King Xuan is kind to him, and he will do everything he can. In the second year of Zhengshi, a wide canal was opened. Every time there was an incident in the southeast, the army gathered and sailed down to the rivers and Huaihe Rivers. Food was stored and there was no water damage. It was built by Ai. Zhi

Sacral? went out to participate in the Western Military Expedition and moved to Nan'an to be the governor. In the first year of Jiaping, he and Guo Huai, the general who conquered the west, rejected the Shu general Jiang Wei. When Wei retreated, Huaiyin attacked the Qiang in the west. Ai said: "The thieves have not gone far and may be able to return. It is better to divide the armies to be prepared." So he stayed in Ai Tun to the north of Baishui. On the third day, Wei sent Liao Hua from Baishui south to Aijie camp. Ai said to the generals: "We are returning now. We have few soldiers. We should come across without building a bridge. This Wei envoy will support me and will not be able to return. Wei will attack Taocheng from the east." Taocheng is in the north of the water. Sixty miles to Aitun. Ai then lurked at night and his army arrived, and Vigo came to cross over. Ai arrived first and occupied the city, and was able to remain undefeated. He was given the title of Marquis of Guannei, added as a general against the bandits, and later moved to Chengyang as the prefect. Zhai

At that time, Liu Bao, the right virtuous king of Bingzhou, merged into one department. Ai Shangyan said: "Rong Di's animal heart does not follow the righteous relationship. If it is strong, it will invade, and if it is weak, it will be attached. Therefore, Zhou Xuan The Han ancestors were surrounded by Pingcheng, which was a serious problem for the previous generations. Since they were outside, they could not contain the Changbei, so the Qiang barbarians were lost. There is no one to unite and disperse. With Shanyu in the inner circle, Wanli is on the right track. Now that Shanyu is respected and the power of the outside world is strong, the barbarians must be prepared to rebel. Because of the rebellion, the two kingdoms were divided to divide their power. If the son did not inherit the legacy of the previous dynasty, it was appropriate to add his son to show his name and send him to live in Yanmen to track down the old merits. It's a long-term plan." He also said: "If the Qiang and Hu people live together with the people, they should be gradually removed, so that the residents can show their respect for integrity and shame, and block the path of treachery." He moved to Runan to be the prefect, and when he arrived, he sought out the official who had favored him in the past. His father had been dead for a long time, so he sent officials to sacrifice him, left his mother behind, and raised his son with the officials. Where Ai is, the wilderness is opened up, and both soldiers and civilians are abundant. Lord

Retreat. Zhuge Ke besieged Hefei New City, but failed, so he retreated. King Ai Yanjing said: "Sun Quan is gone, and the ministers are not attached. The great clans of Wu Mingzong all have tribes, which can block the army and strengthen their power, which is enough to build their lives. They are committed to the new affairs of the country, but there is no master within them, and they do not want to care for the superiors and subordinates to lay the foundation. He competed in foreign affairs and abused his people, and the people of the country were settled in the fortified city. Tens of thousands of people died, and they returned with misfortune. This was the day when Ke was convicted. If you don't, you will be defeated. Kuang Ke is not one of the four wise men, and he will be killed if he doesn't care about the great danger." If he returns, he will be punished. He was moved to Yanzhou to be the governor and became General Zhenwei. The above statement says: "The most urgent thing for a country is agriculture and war. If a country is rich, its army will be strong, and if its army is strong, it will be victorious. However, farmers are the foundation of victory. Confucius said, 'Enough food is enough for the army', and food is in front of the army. There is nothing above If you are encouraged by the nobility, there will be no merit in wealth and livestock. Now the reward is to accumulate grain and enrich the people, then the road to friendship will be blocked, and the source of glitz will be blocked. That is to say, he was honored and granted the title of Tinghou in Fangcheng.

Guanqiu Jian made a rebellion and sent Jian Jian to write books. He wanted to confuse the people. King Sima Jing arrived and took control of it. After Wen Qin's army was defeated at the foot of the city, Ai pursued him to Qiutou. Qin rushed to Wu. General Sun Jun of Wu and his 100,000 troops were about to cross the river. General Zhuge Dan of Zhendong sent Ai to occupy Feiyang. Ai Yi was far away from the rebels and was not in a key place. He moved to the nearby pavilion and sent Zhuge Xu, the prefect of Mount Tai. Li Jing refused to fight and left. In that year, he went to worship the captain of Changshui. With merits such as defeating the emperor, he was granted the title of Marquis of Fangcheng and Rural Areas and became the General of Anxi. When the governor of Yongzhou, Wang Jing, was besieged by Didao, Jiang Wei retreated to Zhongti, and appointed Ai as the general of Anxi, taking charge of the East Qiang school captain during the holiday. Most of the people who discussed it thought that the power was exhausted and could not be regenerated. Ai said: "The defeat in Taoxi was not a small loss; the army was destroyed and the generals were killed, the warehouses were empty, the people were displaced, and they were almost in danger. Now let's talk about the strategy. They have the potential to take advantage of victory, and I have the reality of weakness. . They learn from each other, the five soldiers are sharp, I will change the army, the weapon and the staff are not restored, the second is. They use the boat to move, I use the army, the work and rest are different, the three are different. There are guards, they are one, I divide them into four, four. From Nan'an and Longxi, because they eat Qiang Valley, if there are thousands of hectares of ripe wheat in Qishan, they are the county bait, and there are five thieves. "It must be done." After a while, Weiguo went to Qishan and heard that Ai was ready, so he returned to Dongtingqu Nan'an and held Ai at Wucheng Mountain. Wei and Ai fought against each other but were unable to defeat them. That night, they crossed the Wei River and headed east, heading up to Gui on the edge of the mountains. Ai and Ai fought in Duan Valley and defeated them greatly. The edict of the first year of Ganlu said: "The traitor Jiang Wei has been cunning for many years, and the people are in turmoil, and the western land is restless. Ai planned well, was loyal and courageous, and worked hard. He killed dozens of generals and killed thousands of people. His country's prestige was astonishing in Ba and Shu, and his martial arts reputation was spread throughout the country. Jiang and Min. Now Ai is the general of Zhenxi and the commander of the army in Longyou. Five hundred households have been granted the title of Tinghou. "In the second year, Jiang Wei was rejected at the Great Wall and Wei returned. The general moved to conquer the west and added 6,600 households to the city. In the third year of Jingyuan's reign, Wei Yuhou He was defeated again, but Wei Wei was saved in Tazhong. In the autumn of the fourth year, the army was ordered to conquer Shu, and the general Sima Wen and King all commanded Jiedu to connect Ai and Wei. Zhuge Xu, the governor of Yongzhou, wanted Wei to return, but he was not allowed to return. Ai sent Wang Qi, the prefect of Tianshui, and others to attack Weiying directly. Qian Hong, the prefect of Longxi, and others invited them to come forward. Yang Xin, the prefect of Jincheng, and others went to Gansong. Wei heard that Zhonghui's troops had entered Hanzhong and led them back. Xin and others chased Qiangchuankou, fought hard, and Wei was defeated. After hearing that Yongzhou has blocked the road and stationed at Qiaotou, we entered the North Road from Konghan Valley and wanted to leave Yongzhou. When Zhuge Xu heard about it, he was still thirty miles away. Wei entered the north road for more than thirty miles. When he heard that Xu's army was retreating, he sought to return and crossed the bridge. Wei Sui led him eastward and also guarded the sword pavilion. Zhonghui's attack on Wei failed. Ai Shang said: "Now that the thieves have been defeated, it is better to take advantage of them. From Yinping through the evil path of Deyangting in Han Dynasty, Qufu, a hundred miles west of Jiange, and more than three hundred miles to Chengdu, surprise troops will attack their heart. The defenders of Jiange will definitely return. If the army of Jiange does not return, then the troops at Fu will be outnumbered. The army's ambition is to attack it unprepared and catch it by surprise. Now it is necessary to cover up its emptiness and destroy it.

In the tenth month of winter when the mountains are high, moxa travels from Yinping Road to uninhabited land for more than 700 miles, carving mountain passages and building bridges and pavilions. The mountains are high and the valleys are deep, making it extremely difficult and dangerous. Moreover, food transportation is in short supply, so dangers are common. The moxa is wrapped in felt and pushed down. The soldiers all climbed up the wooden edge cliff and filed in. Climbing to Jiangyou first, Shu guard general Ma Miao surrendered. Zhuge Zhan, the general of the Shu Guard, returned the water to Mianzhu from Fu and put it on display for Ai. Ai Qianzi Hui Tangting, Hou Zhong and others came out on his right, and Sima Shizhuan and others came out on his left. Zhong and Zuo were unsuccessful in the battle and returned, saying: "The thieves can't be attacked." Ai Nu said: "The difference between survival and death lies in one action, why not?" He then scolded Zhong, Zuo and others and planned to kill them. Zhong and Zuanchi fought again and defeated them greatly. They led Zhang Zhan and Zhang Zun, the minister, and marched to Luo. Liu Chan sent an envoy with the emperor's seal and ribbon to ask for Ai's surrender. Ancient times

When Ai arrived in Chengdu, Chan led the prince, kings and ministers with more than sixty people to bind Yu and go to the military gate. After inspecting the officers and soldiers, there was nothing to capture, and Suina surrendered, so that he could resume his old business, and the people of Shu praised him. According to the story of Deng Yu, he was commissioned to make a hussar general who worshiped Zen, a prince's chariot, and a prince's son-in-law and captain. Each of the Shu group ministers bowed down to the king's official position, or led the Ai official's subordinates. With Shi Zuan, he led the governor of Yizhou, and the governor of Longxi, Qian Hong, and others led the counties in central Shu. He ordered a platform to be built in Mianzhu as a view of the capital to show off his military exploits. The dead soldiers were all buried together with the Shu soldiers. Ai Shen was so proud of himself that he said to the Shu scholar-officials: "All the kings owe their existence to a certain person. If they met the disciples of Wu and Han, they would have been destroyed." He also said: "Jiang Wei has been a hero since then, and he has a close relationship with a certain person." It’s worth it, so I’m poor.” The knowledgeable people laugh at it. Zhi

In the twelfth month of Zhiwei Fen, the edict said: "Ai Yao was very powerful, went deep into the imperial court, beheaded the generals and slapped the flags, and hunted down the whale salamanders. He made the arrogant master have his head tied around his neck. He has been unruly for generations. Execution will be achieved in one day. The troops will not be delayed and the battle will not last all day. Yun Che will sweep across and defeat Bashu.

Although Bai Qi defeated the powerful Chu, Han Xin defeated the powerful Zhao, Wu and Han defeated the seven kingdoms, and Yafu destroyed the seven kingdoms, the merits of planning are beautiful, but they are not comparable to merit. He appointed Ai as the Taiwei, added 20,000 households to the city, and granted him two princes, Tinghou, each of whom had 1,000 households in the city. "Yuan Zi said: Zhuge Liang valued people, but suddenly used Shu soldiers. This is because he knows that a small country with weak people cannot survive for a long time. Today, the country has destroyed Shu in one fell swoop, and no one has achieved such speed in conquering it on its own. Fang Deng Ai Due to the danger of tens of thousands of people entering the river, Zhonghui left 200,000 people in the sword pavilion and could not enter. The soldiers of the three armies were already hungry. Although Ai defeated the generals and prevented Liu Chan from surrendering for several days, it would be difficult for the two generals' armies to counterattack. Achievements are so difficult. The country has the battle of Shouchun before it and the labor of destroying Shu in the future. The people are poor and the stores are empty. Therefore, the concern of a small country is to make achievements in order to survive. The concern of a big country is to be exhausted after victory. After success, it is a time to be wary of fear. King Aiyan Sima Wen said: "The soldiers have the first sound and then the actual strength. Now because of the power of pacifying Shu, Wu is taking advantage of it. The people of Wu are frightened and swept away. However, after the great campaign, the officers and soldiers were tired and could not be used easily, so they were slowed down. They left 20,000 soldiers from Longyou and 20,000 soldiers from Shu to boil salt and smelt it for the needs of the army and farmers, and to make boats to travel along the river. Then send envoys to inform them of the interests, and Wu will definitely convert, but it can be determined without levying a levy. Now it is appropriate to be generous to Liu Chan and to Sun Xiu, and to bring peace to the people and the people who come from far away. If you send Chan to the capital, Wu will think that he is a refugee, and he will not persuade him to change. It is expedient to stay in the next autumn and winter, when Bill Wu is also at peace. He thought that he could make Zen the King of Fufeng, tin his wealth, and keep him around. There is Dong Zhuowu in the county, which is a palace. His son was given the title of duke, and he was given food in the county to show his favor. When Guangling and Chengyang were opened to treat the Wu people, they were afraid of power and virtuous, and followed the wind. King Wen sent the supervisor Wei Guan to tell Ai: "Things must be repaid, and it is not appropriate to act hastily." "Ai Zhongyan said: "I was ordered to march and follow the instructions and strategies. Yuan evil obeyed. As for accepting the system and worshiping the leave, it was said to be expedient. Today, all the people in Shu are returning to the country. The land is as far as the South China Sea and borders Wuhui in the east. It is best to calm down as soon as possible. If you wait for the fate of the country, you will travel back and forth, delaying the sun and the moon. In the Spring and Autumn Period, when officials go out to the frontier, they can stabilize the country and benefit the country. Now Wu is not a guest; the situation is connected with that of Shu, so we should not rely on it to cause trouble. In the art of war, advance without seeking fame, and retreat without avoiding sin. Although Ai is not as disciplined as the ancients, he never thinks he is harming the country. "Zhong Hui, Hu Lie, Shi Zhuan, etc. all rebelled against Ai and turned to quarrels to end it. The imperial edict was issued to challenge Ai. In the Spring and Autumn Period of the Wei Dynasty, Ai looked up to the sky and sighed, "Ai is a loyal minister, and now he is here! Bai Qi's coolness can be seen again today. "Zhi

Since Tong Ai and his son were imprisoned, Zhong Hui went to Chengdu, first sent Ai off, and then started a rebellion. Hui was dead, and the soldiers of Ai's camp chased Ai's carriage out to welcome him back. Guan sent Tian Xu and others When he met Ai in the west of Mianzhu, he killed both Zizhong and Ai. The remaining sons were killed in Luoyang, and Ai's wife and grandson moved to the Western Regions. In the Spring and Autumn Period of the Han and Jin Dynasties, he said: "The first Ai came down from Jiang Youye, and it could not be continued." When he advanced, he wanted to kill him, but then he abandoned him and said, "I can avenge Jiang You's humiliation." Du prophesied to the crowd and said: "Bo Yu is bound to die!" As a famous person with a high position, he has no moral integrity and does not keep his subordinates upright. If he is a villain and takes advantage of a gentleman, how can he be held accountable? "When Guan heard about it, he thanked him without waiting. Shi Yu said: Master Zhuan also died together with Ai. Companion was impatient and unkind, and his body was not intact on the day of death. Lord

At the beginning of the book, Ai Dang When I was conquering Shu, I dreamed that there was flowing water while sitting on a mountain. I asked Yuan Shao, the protector of the captives, and he said: "According to the Yi hexagram, the water on the mountain is called Jian." Jian Yao said: "Jian is good for the southwest, but not good for the northeast." ’ Confucius said: ‘If the Jian is beneficial to the southwest, it will make great achievements; if it is detrimental to the northeast, the path will be poor. ’ If you go to conquer Shu, you will probably not return it! "Ai Zhanran was unhappy. Xunchuo Jizhou records said: Shao started as an official and rose to the rank of Weiwei. The eldest son Han was the prefect of Hedong. Zhongzi Chang was the chief agricultural officer. Shao Ziqian, courtesy name Junyou, was generous and had an official position. Diligent in his time, he served as the governor of Jizhou and the prince's right guard. Hanzi Yu, named Shidu, was pure and noble. He was good at debating and discussing subtle principles based on Gongsun Long's words. He was a rare and famous official. After a while, he came to the throne, and he wrote an order to the minister, who moved him to prison. According to his words, Jian Tuo said, "Jian will benefit from the southwest, and he will go to the middle." It does not say "meritorious"; , I have made great achievements in the past." In the first year of Taishi, the Jin Dynasty implemented an imperial edict and issued an edict: "In the past, the Taiwei Wang Ling tried to depose the King of Qi, but the King was not strong enough to hold the throne. Deng Ai, the general who conquered the west, was too pretentious about his merits and should have made great reforms. However, on the day of being written down, sending people away to suffer the consequences is completely different from those who do evil in order to survive. Now the amnesty can be returned. If there are no descendants, listen to the order and set up a queen, so that the sacrifices will not stop. " In the third year, Yilang Duan Zhuo went to Ai and said: "Ai was extremely loyal but was known as a rebel. He pacified Bashu and was punished by the barbarians. I mourned him secretly. What a pity, Yan Ai is doing the opposite! Ai has a strong and impatient nature, commits minor offences, and cannot cooperate with others, so he is not willing to deal with it. I dare to say that Ai will not rebel. In the past, Jiang Wei had the ambition to defeat Longyou, and Ai Xiuzhi was on the defensive, accumulating valleys and strengthening his troops. It was a severe drought, and mugwort was planted in the area. He was covered in black clothes and held grass in his hand to lead the soldiers. Feel the superior and the inferior, and do your best.

Ai Zhijie guarded the border, and commanded tens of thousands of people. It was not difficult for servants and captives to work, and soldiers and people served. Without Zhijie, loyalty and diligence, who could be like this? Therefore, in the battles of Luomen and Duangu, use less to strike more to defeat strong thieves. The late emperor knew that he was worthy of his appointment, so he appointed Ai Miaosheng and gave him long-term strategies. Ai was ordered to forget himself, tie up his horse and the county chariot, and throw himself to death. His courage was so great that the soldiers took advantage of the momentum and made Liu Chan, the emperor and his ministers, face-tied, hands folded, and knees bent. Ai's fame has been achieved, and it can be used as a book on bamboo and silk, which will be passed down to generations. A seventy-year-old husband, what do you want? Ai Cheng relied on the kindness of his upbringing and had no self-doubt in his heart. He corrected his orders and inherited the system, and secured the authority of the country. Although it was against the rules, it was in line with the ancient principles. It can be said that he was originally convicted. Zhong Hui is jealous of Ai Wei's name, which constitutes his affair. Those who were loyal were punished, those who believed were doubted, and all the disciples were killed in the horse market of Touxian County. Those who saw it wept, and those who heard it sighed. Your Majesty, Long Xing, expounds your magnanimity, clears up all suspicions, and punishes the family without restraint. In the past, when the people of Qin pitied Bai Qi for his innocence, and when the people of Wu injured Zixu unjustly, they all built shrines. Today the people of the country hate Ai Mourning with all their hearts, and this is still true. The minister thought that Ai's body and head were separated and the grass and soil were donated. It would be better to collect the corpse and return it to his farm and house. For his contribution to pacifying Shu, he granted his grandson the title of Shao, and had his coffin closed to confirm his posthumous title. He died without any regrets. Forgive the wronged soul in the underworld, accept the righteousness in future generations, bury one person and the world admires his deeds, bury one soul and the world admires his righteousness, what he does is few but appreciated by many. "In the ninth year, the edict said: "Ai has meritorious service, he will not escape the punishment when he is punished, and his descendants are slaves of the people. I am always sorry for him. He took Sun Lang as his doctor. "Zhai

When Ai, the state road, was in the west, he repaired barriers and built city docks. In the middle of Taishi, the Qiang rebels rebelled and killed the governor frequently. The road to Liangzhou was cut off. All officials and people were protected by Ai. The dock Yan was built. Shiyu said: In the middle of Xianning, General Fan Zhen was sent to the Yamen of Xirong. Emperor Wu asked where Zhen was going. Zhen Zeng was a general under Deng Ai when he was conquering Shu. The emperor then looked for him. Asked about Ai, Zhen was very loyal to Shen Ai, and he was moved to the post of Danshui Order. Then Sun Qianqiu was promoted to Yongjiazhong. Lang was the governor of Xindu and was not an official. There was a fire in Xiangyang. Lang, his mother and his wife were burned to death, but his son Tao Zixing was spared. His second son was also burned to death. At that time, he was a native of Nanyang Prefecture. He was also good at making achievements and using troops. He was a general who conquered captives and was in charge of military affairs in the south of the Yangtze River during the holidays. He passed away in the second year of Jingyuan and was given the posthumous title Zhuanghou by General Wei. Shiyu said: In the early days of Jingzhou. Pei Qian, the governor, took Tai as his duty, and Sima Xuan Wang suppressed Wan, and Qian Shu sent him to Xuan Wang. From this, he became known to Xuan Wang, and when he conquered Mengda, Tai also led the army, so Tai lost Kao, his concubine, and his ancestors. In the year of mourning, King Xuan stayed with him. On the 36th, he was promoted to the prefect of Xincheng. King Xuan served as Taihui, and sent Minister Zhongyao to adjust Taihui: "Jun Shi Brown went to the Zaifu, and on the 36th, he supported his troops and guarded the troops. County; a beggar rides in a small car, how can it drive? Tai said: "This is true."
