In the early spring of the sixth year of Jianxing, the new city was too shou Meng Da to stand on the city wall worriedly, overlooking the north. He knew he was riding a tiger and that a storm was coming. Zhuge Liang's secret letter and Sima Yi's army put him in a dilemma. As a former rebel, how can he get out of this power game?
In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither
During the Three Kingdoms period, the world was divided into three parts, and Wei, Shu and Wu were in their own hands. This is an era of heroes, and it is also a troubled era of deceit. In this context, a small person named Meng Da has become a key chess piece to change the direction of history because of his capriciousness.
Meng Da was originally a general of Shu Han, but because he was not reused, he was dissatisfied. He led his troops to capture Fangling, Shangyong and other places, but he was not appreciated by Liu Bei. So, the ambitious general decided to defect to Cao Wei. In the Wei State, Meng Da was named the Taishou of Xincheng and was in charge of a strategic area.
However, the good times did not last long, and after Cao Pi's death, the new emperor Cao Rong had a grudge against this general. Meng Da felt that the future was bleak, and he moved his mind to return to Shu again. At this juncture, Zhuge Liang extended an olive branch to him.
Meng Da swayed left and right, and Zhuge Liang set up a bureau to eliminate trouble
Meng Da, the grass on the wall, can make Zhuge Liang worried. You must know that the new city is a battleground for soldiers, and if it can be taken, it will be of great help to the Northern Expedition.
Zhuge Liang first sent a few enthusiastic letters, earnestly inviting Meng Da to return to Shu Han. But what about Mengda? He felt that he had a good hand in his hand, and he wanted to bargain. He wrote back about how important the location of the new city was, suggesting that Zhuge Liang had to offer him a good price.
This can make Zhuge Liang angry. He thought to himself: "You two-faced guy, you still want to play with me?" Okay, then let's be ruthless!"
So, Zhuge Liang began to play a big game of chess. He sent a man named Guo Mo to Wei and pretended to surrender. After this Guo Mo arrived in Wei, he immediately told Wei officials that Meng Da was going to rebel.
Zhuge Liang's move can be described as killing two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he forced Meng Da to hurry up and express his position; On the other hand, he wanted Wei to clean up Meng Da by himself. Anyway, no matter what the result is, it will be beneficial to Shu.
Sima Yi rushed quickly, and Meng Da was in a desperate situation
Zhuge Liang's move frightened the Wei court. Cao Rong immediately convened the important ministers to discuss countermeasures. At this time, Sima Yi stood up and said, "Meng Da, this kid, I'll clean him up!"
Sima Yi is not joking. With his elite troops, he marched to the new city day and night. At the same time, he also wrote a letter to Meng Da, saying that the imperial court heard that he was in trouble and specially sent himself to help. This trick was really clever enough, which not only appeased Meng Da, but also paralyzed his vigilance.
After Meng Da received the letter, his heart was happy. He pondered, "It seems that Wei still trusts me." When Sima Yi comes, I'll perform well, and maybe I can be promoted!"
But how did Meng Da know that Sima Yi was about to enter the city! By the time he came to his senses, the Wei army had already surrounded Xincheng. Meng Da panicked and hurriedly sent a letter for help to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang was also shocked when he received the letter. He didn't expect Sima Yi to move so fast, this is a bit tricky. He immediately sent someone to inform Wu Guo and prepared to join forces to rescue. Unfortunately, it was too late.
The new city was broken in 16 days, and Meng Da died in Huangquan
The new city has high walls and thick walls, and the terrain is dangerous. It stands to reason that even if it lasts for a year and a half, it will not be a problem. But who would have thought that in just 16 days, the new city was breached!
In the past 16 days, the new city has been changing. In the city, Meng Da was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. While organizing the defense, he sent people around asking for help. It's a pity that the reinforcements of Shu and Wu are still on the way, and it's too late.
Outside the city, Sima Yi is not a vegetarian. He first used words to reassure Meng Da and make him let his guard down. Then he divided his troops into two routes, blocking possible reinforcements all the way, and attacking the city with all his might.
What's worse is that the generals under Meng Da are not fuel-efficient lamps. Some people felt that Meng Da was unreliable, so he simply surrendered. Some people want to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, and they don't care about the city defense at all.
On the 16th day, the new city finally couldn't hold on. Meng Da's nephew and several generals opened the city gates and let Sima Yi's army into the city. Meng Da was tied up by five flowers and taken to the city gate to be beheaded.
Looking at Meng Da's head, Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Not only did he take the new city, but he also got rid of an unstable factor. This battle was fought beautifully!
After Zhuge Liang learned the news, he was silent for a long time. He never thought that Meng Da would be defeated so quickly. In this game, he lost unjustly.
Speaking of which, Meng Da's buddy is also unlucky. Swinging from side to side, the result is not pleasing at both ends. He thought he was smart enough to be able to get between the big guys. As everyone knows, in the eyes of these old foxes, he is a pawn who can be sacrificed at any time.
Zhuge Liang's plan to kill people with a knife is quite ruthless, but it cannot be said that he is completely unreasonable. You must know that Meng Dake killed his brother-in-law back then, which indirectly led to Liu Bei's tragedy.
Sima Yi's operation is also very powerful, he ran 1,500 miles in 8 days, and won the new city in 16 days, which is simply fast. In this way, his position in the Wei State was more stable.
Looking back, who is the real winner in this game? On the surface, it seems to be Sima Yi, but in the long run, Wei has one less unstable factor, Shu has one less confidant, and both families are actually not at a loss. The worst thing is still the little person Meng Da.
In troubled times, people like Meng Da who sway from side to side often don't get along. Either being used or being abandoned. This history tells us that in the face of major issues of right and wrong, we must still have our own stand. Otherwise, it is likely to be like Meng Da and become a victim of other people's games. #头条首发大赛#
