When Lu Bu came to Fushui Pass again, Shu general Zhang Yi understood everything, opened the door automatically, and went out to accept the surrender.
Lu Bu valued Zhang Ni's generals and personally helped Zhang Ni up from his knees and encouraged him.
All the civil and military generals following Lu Bu were sweating coldly. Just now, they were all worried that Zhang Ni might be an assassin and actually carried out an assassination in the name of surrender. Later, they saw that Zhang Ni really wanted to surrender and had no intention of assassination. But those people The Conglong Party members still jointly wrote a letter to Lu Bu, asking him not to get so close to the surrendered general in the future.
If Lu Bu were in other places, he would laugh it off, but now he is in Yizhou, with his life and death enemies Liu Bei and Sima Yi a hundred miles away, and the surrendered general Zhang Yi in front of him has never advised anyone in Shu in history. The big shot asked him to be careful about surrendering generals, but the other party didn't listen and was harmed by the surrendered generals. Lu Bu couldn't help but accept it with awe.
Zhang Ni is a minor role in the novel. Zhang Ni and Zhang Yi are both generals in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the novel, Zhuge Liang mentioned it in his will, to the effect that: Wang Ping, Ma Dai, Liao Hua, Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi is loyal and brave, and has led troops in battles for many years. He has rich experience. He is a general who can be relied on. He is obviously one of the last five tigers. For the first four, there are more deeds, and Wang Ping made a greater contribution. Later, as the commander-in-chief of Hanzhong, he resisted Cao Shuang's attack; Ma Dai was very brilliant in the novel, although not very good in reality; Liao Hua and Zhang Yi sat on the left and right respectively in the late Shu Han Dynasty General Chariot and Cavalry are very high-level generals; only Zhang Yi is rarely described in the novel. The only lines I can recall are two times. The first time was when he and Wang Ping led a thousand people to defend Yangping Pass and knelt down to beg for mercy. Zhuge Liang was ridiculed, and it was the final moment of death. He shouted a revolutionary slogan and was then hacked to death with a knife.
But in terms of his comprehensive ability in official history, Zhang Yi is not inferior to Zhang Yi and Wang Ping.
His talent that amazed Lu Bu the most was his ability to judge cause and effect with some uncanny foresight.
When Zhang Yi met the general Fei Yi, he found that Fei Yi was very philanthropic and was too close to the newcomers. So Zhang Yi wrote a letter to Fei Yi and said: "In the past, Cen Peng was a general, but he was killed by assassins. Now you are a general, with a high position. You should learn from your predecessors and take precautions." But Fei Yi didn't listen. As always, Fei Yi was assassinated by Guo Xun, a descendant of Wei.
The moment Lu Bu helped Zhang Ni up, he remembered the story of Zhang Ni admonishing Fei Yi. After that, he became more wary of surrendering generals. Without contacting them at the first time, Liu Bei and Sima Yi's assassination strategy by using some surrendered generals failed.
Zhuge Zhan, the servant, was the son of Zhuge Liang and the cousin of Wu Taifu Zhuge Ke. Zhuge Ke first defeated the Wei army and then mobilized troops to prepare for a large-scale attack on Wei. Zhang Yi wrote a letter to Zhuge Zhan. I hope he can advise his cousin, saying that although Zhuge Ke is a minister who cares about life. However, when the new emperor takes office, he should not be too far away from the emperor, otherwise, there will be great disaster. Later, Zhuge Ke was actually defeated by the Yi tribe.
These two things have fully demonstrated Zhang Ni's ability. What made Lu Bu deliberately reuse Zhang Ni was his experience in subduing the Southern Barbarians in his life.
Zhang Yi. The courtesy name is Boqi, a native of Nanchong, Bajun. Born into a poor family, he has been open-minded and heroic since childhood. When he was weak, he was a meritorious official of the county. Mountain bandits invaded the county, and the county magistrate and his family fled. Zhang Ni and the county magistrate's wife braved the bandits' swords and swords to fight their way out. Only then was the county magistrate's wife rescued. Zhang Ni was therefore recruited to serve in the state, and was later promoted to the county captain.
In the 11th year of Jianxing, Zhang Yi's strict law enforcement did not please the southern barbarians, so Liu Zhou rebelled, but Zhang Yi could not be defeated and was requisitioned. The imperial court sent Ma Zhong to replace Zhang Yi to quell the rebellion. At this time, Zhang Yi followed Ma Zhong. Zhang Yi fought bravely, taking the lead and beheading Liu Zhou, and the southern territory was safe. Soon after, the Zhongzhong rebelled again in Xinggu and Xinggu counties. Ma Zhong ordered Zhang Ni to lead all the battalions to attack them. Zhang Ni not only pacified them, but also surrendered more than 2,000 people, all of whom were sent to Hanzhong to join the Shu Han's Northern Expedition. The four counties of Nanzhong were settled.
At the beginning, after Zhuge Liang conquered Gaoding, the barbarians in Yuexun County rebelled many times and killed the prefects Gong Lu and Jiao Huang. After that, the prefects of Yuexun did not dare to take office in the county and only dared to live 800 miles away from Yuexun County. Anshang County, Yuexun County has only its name. Because Zhang Ni had made great achievements in pacifying the southern barbarians, it was discussed at that time that Zhang Ni could be allowed to open and restore the county. So the imperial court appointed Zhang Ni as the governor of Yuexi. Zhang Ni came to the county and induced him to be kind and trustworthy, so all the barbarians surrendered.
Beiqiao was the best at catching horses but could not keep up with Jiedong, so Zhang Ni personally led his army to attack him and captured his leader Wei Lang alive, but Zhang Ni released him in the hope that Wei Lang could go back and recruit others who refused to surrender. , so he made Wei Lang the Marquis of Yi. When people from other tribes heard the news, they all came to surrender one after another. So the imperial court granted Zhang Yi the title of Marquis of Guannei for his military merits.
After Su Qiyi¡¯s lord Dong Feng, Feng¡¯s younger brother Kaiqu and others surrendered, they rebelled again. Zhang Ni led the??Crunt and kill Dongfeng. Dong Feng's wife was the daughter of King Yan Niu, but Zhang Yi used a trick to avoid punishing her. But Dongqu fled to the West. Dongqu was fierce and fierce, and the people of other tribes were afraid of him, so he sent two of his relatives to Zhang Ni to pretend to surrender. However, Zhang Ni saw through it and Zhang Ni rewarded these two people for their skill As a counter-measure, the two went back to kill Dongqu. Li Qiucheng, the leader of the Dongqu tribe, personally killed Gong Lu, the governor of Yuexi, during the rebellion. Gong Lu was a close friend of Zhang Ni, and Zhang Ni captured and killed Li Qiucheng.
Due to the long-term turmoil in Yuexun County, all aspects of the city suffered a lot of damage, so Zhang Ni recruited barbarians to repair the city. The Nanyi people also believed in Zhang Ni and worked hard to build Yuexun County.
Dinglu, Taideng, and Beishui counties are more than 300 miles away from Yuexun County. They produce salt, iron, and lacquer. However, the local barbarians took them all for themselves, so Zhang Yi led his army to seize them. Dinglu Commandery Hao Lang Cen was trusted by the barbarians and resented Zhang Ni's invasion. When Zhang Ni disappeared, Zhang Ni sent dozens of strong men to take him into custody, kill him, and return his body to the tribe, saying that Hao Lang Cen was too He was too fierce and said, "Don't act rashly. If you do, you will kill them." So the others thanked Zhang Ni, and Zhang Ni held a banquet again to reiterate their kindness, and they received salt and iron.
There are more than 4,000 Yeniu barbarian households in Hanjia County. Commander Langlu wanted to avenge his son-in-law Dongfeng, so he sent his uncle Langli to lead Dongfeng's tribe to Zhang Yi to check the situation. Zhang Ni sent Lang Li was given cattle wine to comfort him, and he was asked to welcome back Dong Feng's wife. Lang Li was very happy to see his sister, so he led his troops to surrender to Zhang Ni, who rewarded him greatly.
After Langli and his sister returned, Yanniu Yi was in Weihuo County. Yuexun County originally had an old road that could lead directly to Chengdu, which was both flat and close. It has been isolated for more than a hundred years since the Yanniu barbarian rebellion. Zhang Yi sent his ministers to reward Lang Lu greatly, and then asked Lang Lu what he wanted. Lang Lu led all his brothers and wives there and swore an oath with Zhang Yi to open the old road together.
During the fifteenth year of Zhang Ni¡¯s stay in Nanzhong, the county and the people were at peace, so the imperial court summoned Zhang Ni to return to Chengdu. The local people all cried over Zhang Ni's departure. When they passed through Yanniu Yi, the king of Yi, Qin Fu, came to meet him and pursued Zhang Ni all the way to Shu County. More than a hundred of his leaders, big and small, followed Zhang Ni and joined Zhang Ni's army. After Zhang Ni arrived in Chengdu, he was worshiped as a general against the bandits. At that time, Xia Houba, the general of chariots and cavalry, came from Wei and met Zhang Yi, and the two had the same spirit.
In the seventeenth year of Yanxi, Li Jian, the Taoist priest of Wei Di, sent a secret letter asking for surrender. General Jiang Wei received a lot of military supplies from Li Jian, so Jiang Wei led Zhang Yi and others on the Northern Expedition. At this time, Zhang Ni, who was suffering from rheumatism, was so severe that he could not walk around and had to rely on crutches to stand. So some people suggested that Zhang Ni should be left behind, but Zhang Ni insisted on following the army in the northern expedition. Before setting off, Zhang Ni said to his lord: "I have been favored by my lord and received many favors. In addition, I am ill and often worry about my sudden death and cannot repay my lord. Now I can finally go out with the army and serve the country." . If Liangzhou is captured, I am willing to serve as the governor of the vassal; if the victory cannot be achieved, I have to sacrifice myself in return." The queen was moved and couldn't help but shed tears. Later, he fought with Wei general Xu Zhi. Zhang Yi fought in person, but was outnumbered and died in the battle. When the Vietnamese people in South China heard that Zhang Ni had died in battle, they all shed tears for Zhang Ni. Then they built a temple for Zhang Ni and offered sacrifices at all times.
Zhang Yi¡¯s performance was much inferior to that of the Five Tigers in the early Shu Han period, but Lu Bu would not deny his talent because of this.
Most people in the world pay attention to the heroes and leaders in troubled times, but please don¡¯t forget that any organization or institution needs people with different talents. There is no real all-rounder, which means that there must be people working on the front line and others. Those who serve as shields in the rear, due to the nature of people generally attaching importance to fame and wealth, those who appear more frequently are more favored by people, while those who maintain the family business in the rear or internally are easily ignored or even despised by people. Lu Bu understood that it is difficult to start a business and even more difficult to keep it. The stories of entrepreneurs are indeed wonderful, and the literary talents and military strategies of famous people are certainly enviable, but the ability, patience, and loyalty of those who maintain big businesses such as Zhang Yi and Ma Zhong are not surprising. Do you admire it?
There are geniuses like the Five Tigers, Crouching Dragon, and Fengxiao in the world, but there are too few geniuses. Geniuses are not universal or representative. The career of king and dominion is definitely not within the reach of one or two geniuses. Liu Bei, Crouching Dragon and Fengxiao are both. But they can only live in a corner, so to govern a country and bring peace to the world, we should not only look at "genius", but also at talents. From this perspective, although there were five tigers in Shu (leaving aside the actual or false strength of the five tigers), they once had There were Fulong and Fengchu, but they still lost to Wei. In addition to the mistakes made by Guan Yu, Zhuge, and Pang Tong, and in addition to Liu Chan's mediocrity, there is another main reason that Shu's "talented people" are not as good as Wei. On the surface, Wei It seems that there are very few generals in the country who can compete with the generals (geniuses) of Shu, but it is precisely because Wei has more "talents" like Zhang Yi and Ma Zhong. They are either decisive and bright, or loyal to death. The integrity, or calmness, made Wei's national power far superior to Shu and Wu, so Shu finally exhausted its national power and failed to invade the Central Plains.
Lu Buming??, I used to focus on first-rate talents, but the unified Han Dynasty needs more second-rate backbone talents to do some inconspicuous but important specific affairs. For example, Lu Bu wants to stabilize the border of Xishu. It is necessary to reuse Ma Zhong, Zhang Yi, Lu Kai and other civil and military generals who had subdued the Southern Barbarians in that life before going to subdue the Southern Barbarians again.
