Chapter 107-05 사마씨가 권력을 잡다

  遂令軍士掘土堰斷上流。城中果然無水。李歆引兵出城取水,雍州兵圍困甚急。歆死戰不能出,只得退入城去。句安城中亦無水,乃會了李歆,引兵出城,併在一處;大戰良久,又敗入城去。軍士沽渴。安與歆曰:「姜都督之兵,至今未到,不知何故。」歆曰:「我當捨命,殺出求救。」遂引數十騎,開了城門,殺將出來。雍州兵四面圍合,歆奮死衝突,方纔得脫;只落得獨自一人,身帶重傷,餘皆死於亂軍之中。是夜北風大起,陰雲布合,天降大雪;因此,城內蜀兵分糧化雪而食。

  卻說李歆殺出重圍,從西山小路行了兩日,正迎著姜維人馬。歆下馬伏地告曰:「麴山二城,皆被魏兵圍困,絕了水道。幸得天降大雪,因此化雪度日。甚是危急。」維曰:「吾非救遲:為聚羌兵未到,因此誤了。」

  遂令人送李歆入川養病。維問夏侯霸曰:「羌兵未到,魏兵圍困麴山甚急,將軍有何高見?」霸曰:「若等羌兵到麴山,二城皆陷矣。吾料雍州兵,盡來麴山攻打。雍州城定然空虛,將軍可引兵逕往牛頭山,抄在雍州之後:郭淮、陳泰必回救雍州,則麴山之圍自解矣。」維大喜曰:「此計最善!」於是姜維引兵望牛頭山而去。

  卻說陳泰見李歆殺出城去了,乃謂郭淮曰:「李歆若告急於姜維,姜維料吾大兵皆在麴山,必抄牛頭山襲吾之後。將軍可引一軍去取洮水,斷絕蜀兵糧道;吾分兵一半,逕往牛頭山擊之;彼若知糧道已絕,必然自走矣。」郭淮從之,遂引一軍暗取洮水。陳泰引一軍逕往牛頭山來。

  卻說姜維兵至牛頭山,忽聽得前軍發喊,報說魏兵截住去路。維慌忙自到軍前視之。陳泰大喝曰:「汝欲襲吾雍州!吾已等候多時了!」維怒,挺槍縱馬,直取陳泰。泰揮刀而迎。戰不三合,泰敗走。維揮兵掩殺。雍州兵退回。佔住山頭。維收兵就牛頭山下寨。維每日令兵搦戰,不分勝負。夏侯霸謂姜維曰:「此處不是久停之所。連日交戰,不分勝負,乃誘兵之計耳,必有異謀。不如暫退,再作良圖。」

  正言間,忽報郭淮引一軍取洮水,斷了糧道。維大驚,急令夏侯霸先退。維自斷後。陳泰分兵五路趕來.維獨拒五路總口,戰住魏兵。泰勒兵上山,矢石如雨。維急退到洮水之時,郭淮引兵殺來。維引兵往來衝突。魏兵阻其去路,密如鐵桶。維奮死殺出,折兵大半,飛奔上陽平關來。

  前面又一軍殺到;為首一員大將,縱馬棋刀而出。那人生得圓面大耳,方口厚脣,左目下生個黑瘤,瘤上生數十根黑毛,乃司馬懿長子驃騎將軍司馬師也。維大怒曰:「孺子焉敢阻吾歸路!」拍馬挺槍,直來刺師。師揮刀相迎。只三合,殺敗了司馬師,維脫身逕奔陽平關來。城上人開門放入姜維。司馬師也來搶關,兩邊伏弩齊發,一弩發十矢,乃武侯臨終時所遺『連弩』之法也。正是:

難支此日三軍敗,獨賴當年十矢傳。

   未知司馬師性命如何,且看下文分解。


128 So the Wei soldiers were set to work to divert the streams above the city, and the besieged were soon distressed. Li Xin led out a strong force to try to seize the water sources and fought stubbornly, but was at length worsted and driven back within the walls. After that Li Xin and Gou Ai joined their forces and made another attempt to go out and fight. But the Yongzhou troops surrounded them, and a melee ensured until Li Xin and Gou Ai fought their way back to the city.

129 Meanwhile the soldiers were parched with thirst.

130 Gou Ai discussed the circumstance with Li Xin, saying, "I do not understand the delay of Commander Jiang Wei's reinforcements."

131 Li Xin said, "Let me try to fight my way out and get help."

132 So the gates were opened, and Li Xin rode out with some twenty horsemen. These were opposed and had to fight every inch of the way, but eventually Li Xin won though severely wounded. All his followers had fallen.

133 That night a strong north wind brought a heavy fall of snow, and the besieged were thus temporarily relieved from the water famine. They melted the snow and prepared food.

134 Li Xin, severely wounded, made his way west along the hill paths. After two days he fell in with Jiang Wei.

135 He dismounted, prostrated himself, and told his story: "Qushan had been surrounded and cut off water supplies. By luck it snowed, and our soldiers were partly relieved. But the situation was very urgent."

136 "The delay is not due to my slackness. The Qiang allies we depended upon have not come," said Jiang Wei.

137 Jiang Wei sent an escort with the wounded Li Xin to conduct him to Chengdu, where his wounds could be treated.

138 Turning to Xiahou Ba, Jiang Wei asked, "The Qiangs do not come, and the Wei army is besieging Qushan. General, do you have any plan to propose?"

139 Xiahou Ba replied, "If we wait for the coming of the Qiangs, it looks as if we shall be too late to relieve Qushan. It is very probable that Yongzhou has been left undefended, wherefore I propose that you go toward Ox Head Hills and work round to the rear of Yongzhou, which will cause the Wei army to fall back to relieve Yongzhou and so relieve our force."

140 "The plan appears excellent," replied Jiang Wei. And he set out.

141 When Chen Tai knew that Li Xin had escaped, he said to his chief, "Now that this man has got out, he will tell Jiang Wei of the danger and Jiang Wei will conclude that our efforts are concentrated on the ramparts and will endeavor to attack our rear. Therefore I suggest, General, that you go to River Yao and stop the supplies of our enemies, while I go to the Ox Head Hills and smite them. They will retreat as soon as they know their supplies are threatened."

142 So Guo Huai marched secretly to River Yao, while Chen Tai went to the hills.

143 When the Shu army led by Jiang Wei came near the Ox Head Hills, they heard a great shouting in front, and the scouts came in to report that the road was barred. Jiang Wei himself rode out to look.

144 "So you intended to attack Yongzhou, did you?" shouted Chen Tai. "But we know it and have been watching for you a long time."

145 Jiang Wei rode forth to attack. Chen Tai advanced with a flourish of his sword, and they engaged. Chen Tai soon ran away. Then the soldiers of Shu came forward and fell on, driving the soldiers of Wei back to the summit of the hills. But they halted there, and Jiang Wei encamped at the foot of the hills, whence he challenged the enemy every day. But he could gain no victory.

146 Seeing no result after some days of this, Xiahou Ba said, "This is no place to remain in. We can get no victory and are tempting fate by remaining open to a surprise. I think we should retire till some better plan can be tried."

147 Just then it was reported: "The supplies road by River Yao has fallen into the hands of Guo Huai!"

148 Shocked with the news, Jiang Wei bade Xiahou Ba march away first, and he covered the retreat. Chen Tai pursued in five divisions along five different roads, but Jiang Wei got possession of the meeting point and held them all in check, finally forcing them back on the hills. But from this position Chen Tai ordered his troops to shoot heavy discharges of arrows and stones so that Jiang Wei was forced to abandon his position. He went to River Yao, where Guo Huai led his force out to attack. Jiang Wei went to and fro smiting where he could, but he was surrounded and only got out by a desperate effort and after suffering more than half of his force.

149 Jiang Wei hastened toward Yangping Pass, but fell in with another body of the enemy, at the head of which he saw a fierce, youthful leader, who at once rode out furiously to attack. This leader had a round face, long ears, and a square mouth with thick lips. Below his left eye was a large hairy mole. It was the elder son of Sima Yi. He was General of the Flying Cavalry, Sima Shi.

150 "Simpleton! How dare you stand in my way?" yelled Jiang Wei, as he rode forward with his spear set.

151 Sima Shi met the attack, and a few bouts were fought before Sima Shi fled. Jiang Wei came off victor and so was free to continue his way. Presently he reached the pass and was welcomed within its sheltering walls. Sima Shi soon followed and attacked the Pass after his arrival, but those within the ramparts replied with the multiple crossbows which threw ten bolts at each discharge. For the army of Shu had made these engines of war after the design left by Zhuge Liang.

152 Owing to superior weapons, Shu defeated Wei, 
Wei would never recover what was lost that day.

153 What befell Sima Shi will be told in the next chapter.
