Time passed by little by little, and the weather in the afternoon became hotter and hotter. The armor of the Tiger Army was shining brightly in the sun, making it look majestic and intimidating. The soldiers were sweating heavily.
There are drops on the forehead, but no one dares to wipe it with their hands...
This time Huang Hao came to visit Sima Yi on behalf of the emperor. After all, he had the name of an angel. Liu Chan asked Zhang Yi, the leader of the imperial army, to dispatch a hundred people from the Huben camp to follow Huang Hao to the Taifu Mansion as a guard of honor.
, this random draw drew the captain Xu Zhang,
During Liu Bei's time, the Shu army was not divided into Chinese and foreign military systems, and Liu Bei alone controlled the central strategic mobile force.
After Liu Chan succeeded to the throne in 223, Zhuge Liang opened a prime minister's palace and established Chinese and foreign armies.
The Chinese Army is divided into two parts, one is the Central Mobile Force, with official positions: Central Protector, Central Supervisory Army, Central Leading Army, Central Protective Army and Central Joining Army.
In Zhongdu, the rank of the Central Supervisor is above that of the Central Guards and the Central Joining Army. One section is the Central Army that guards the Chengdu Palace. It consists of left and right Yulin Departments, Hu Ben, Tiger Bu Ying, three left, middle and right departments, and Tiger Cavalry Ying. It is modeled after the Han Dynasty.
There are five schools of garrison cavalry, infantry, archery, Yue cavalry and Changshui.
Zhang Yi was a native of Wuyang County, Qianwei County. His great-great-grandfather Zhang Hao once served as Sikong, and his great-grandfather Zhang Gang served as the prefect of Guangling County. They both had prestigious political achievements.
In the 19th year of Jian'an (214), Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, took over Yizhou's pastorate, and made Zhang Yi his assistant. In the last years of Jian'an, Zhang Yi was promoted to Xiaolian and served as the magistrate of Jiangyang County under Jiangyang County.
In the twenty-third year of Jian'an (218 years), Liu Bei sent troops to attack Hanzhong, and Zhang Yi also joined the battle. Cao Cao personally led his troops to the rescue, and Zhang Yi followed Zhao Yun and defeated Cao's army in the Battle of Han River. Later, he was transferred to Fuling County Magistrate.
He was promoted to the prefect of Zitong County, and gradually to the prefect of Guanghan County and the prefect of Shu County.
In the ninth year of Jianxing (231), Li Hui, the commander-in-chief of Gajiang, passed away. The Shu Han court appointed Zhang Yi as the commander-in-chief of Gajiang and the general of Suinan Zhonglang. He was stationed in Pingyi County, Zanggao County, and went out to Zhennanzhong.
Zhang Yi's strict enforcement of the law did not please the southern Yi people, so in the 11th year of Jianxing (233), the leader of the Yi people Liu Zhou launched an army to rebel.
Zhang Yi sent out troops to attack Liu Zhou, but before he could defeat Liu Zhou, the Shu Han court summoned Zhang Yi to return to the court. All the generals thought that they should return to the court quickly to plead guilty. Zhang Yi said: "This can't be done. I was dismissed because of the barbarian rebellion and incompetence.
Recruited to return to Korea.
But my replacement has not arrived yet, and I am on the battlefield. I should organize transportation and store grain and grass as materials to defeat the rebels. How can I neglect the political affairs of the country just because I am dismissed from my official position?"
So he continued to direct the affairs without slackening until Ma Zhong, the commander-in-chief of the surrender, arrived at the front line and then returned to the court. Ma Zhong relied on the foundation laid by Zhang Yi to kill Liu Zhou and quell the rebellion. Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu Han, learned about this incident
Big thumbs up to Zhang Yi.
In February of the twelfth year of Jianxing (234), Zhuge Liang sent his troops out of Xiegu to attack Cao Wei in the north. Zhang Yi was appointed as the front commander and led the prefect of Fufeng County.
In August, Zhuge Liang died of illness, and the army withdrew to Chengdu. Zhang Yi was appointed as the former leader, and he was awarded the title of Marquis of Guannei for his previous achievements in conquering Liu Zhou.
In the first year of Yanxi (238), Zhang Yi entered the court as a minister and participated in the decision-making of the court's government affairs. He was later promoted to the governor of Jianwei, awarded the festival talisman, and promoted to the title of Dutinghou. He paid homage to the General of the West and stationed in the northern part of the Shu Han Dynasty. A few years later, when Fei Yi came to power, he was transferred back to Chengdu, where he took the position of military leader to lead the Shu Han imperial army and protect the emperor.
The reason why Fei Yi appointed him as the leader was because he had performed very well in the past, was quite talented, loyal to the Shu Han, upright, and would not be easily bribed and complicit by others. Furthermore, Zhang Yi was the same as Fei Yi. He opposed Jiang Wei's opinion of sending troops to the Northern Expedition now, believing that the country was weak and the people were tired, so force should not be abused. Fei Yi felt that such a person who agreed with his views was very trustworthy.
The person who held the important position of leader of the Shu Han Dynasty before Zhang Yi was Xiang Chong, who was highly recommended in Zhuge Liang's famous list of military commanders. It is called Neng, which means he is the governor based on the consensus of the public. If you are ignorant of the matters in the camp and consult them carefully, you will be able to make the formation harmonious and the good and the bad will get what you want." This can be said to be a high evaluation of military commanders. ,
Xiang Chong is the nephew of Zuo General Xiang Lang and an important general of the Shu Han Dynasty. He has a modest and fair character and is knowledgeable about military matters. He was praised by Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty.
During the reign of Liu Bei, he served successively as Yamen generals (similar to the side generals under the general's command). In the first year of Zhangwu, Liu Bei attacked Wu.
In the second year of Zhangwu, Lu Xun, the commander-in-chief of the State of Wu, took advantage of Liu Bei's abandonment of the navy and advanced with the land force alone. He first sent a small force to conduct a tentative attack, and then sent a large army to attack Liu Bei's camp. Liu Bei's army was defeated miserably, and the army that defeated Wu suffered heavy losses. Liu Bei's army After the defeat, all the battalions suffered heavy losses, but Xiang Chong was left intact. Liu Bei praised him for his ability.
In the first year of Jianxing, Liu Chan ascended the throne, and Xiang Chong was granted the title of Marquis of Duting. Later, he was elected as the Governor of the Central Region, responsible for managing the palace guards.
In the fifth year of Jianxing's reign, Zhuge Liang went north to Hanzhong. Before leaving, he wrote the "Departure List", which mentioned that "General Xiang Chong is a man of peace, kindness, and proficiency in military affairs. He has been tried before and the late emperor praised him as a talented man, so everyone discussed He was recommended as the governor of the central region. I believed that all matters in the army should be discussed with him. This will definitely lead to harmony within the army and proper deployment of military strength." So he promoted Xiang Chong to the position of commander of the central army.
In the third year of Yanxi's reign, a rebellion broke out among the barbarians in the Hanjia area. Xiang Chong led his army to pacify it, but was killed in the melee. Since Xiang Chong had won the hearts of his subordinates, after Xiang Chong's subordinates learned that Xiang Chong had been killed, they returned to fight. After that, Fei Yi promoted Zhang Yi to the important position of leading the army...
Xiaohuangmen got off the car and said in a high-pitched voice to Xu Zhang who was riding on horseback in front: "Xu Xiaowei, please send a soldier to go and let the people of the Sima family come out to meet you."
Xu Zhang nodded, and then asked a soldier next to him to dismount and go to call the door. When the soldier walked, the blades of his armor rubbed against each other and made a "click" sound. When the soldier went up the steps, he banged on the door rhythmically. He started knocking and said loudly at the same time: "The angel is coming, why don't you hurry up and open the door to welcome him!"
The steward who was on duty in the front yard of the mansion heard the shouts outside the door one by one. He thought to himself, "Angel, this is something you cannot afford to neglect." He quickly opened the door, cupped his hands and said, "Angel, please wait a moment. I'll go right away."
Please invite the master to welcome the angel into the house."
Shuiyi lost his composure now and quickly arrived at the hall where Sima Yi was receiving guests in the inner courtyard. He was breathing rapidly and was out of breath and said joyfully: "Master, master, the angel is here!"
At this time, Sima Yi no longer had the gloomy look on his face when Shui suddenly burst into the hall and interrupted his conversation with Li Feng, "The angel is here?" Obviously he did not expect that the angel would come today, and the surprise at that moment was fleeting.
He quickly calmed down and got up with some difficulty, "Zhao'er, nephew, hurry up, follow me to welcome the angel into the house. Angels cannot be neglected when they enter the house."
The two of them said "Promise" and stood up. Hou Ji and Shu Yi also came over immediately to help Sima Yi up. They walked towards the door of the mansion one after the other...
