—— Zuo Si "Shu Du Fu"

After Zhuge Wuhou set up a workshop to weave Shu brocade, Chengdu was called Brocade Official City.

During the Han Dynasty, Chengdu achieved considerable development. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Chengdu became a metropolis second only to Chang'an.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, everyone in the world was changing their sons and eating their bones, but Chengdu was prosperous. When Liu Bei's tens of thousands of horses entered Shu, Liu Zhang feasted on soldiers and soldiers for several days.

In recent years, Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, has made great efforts to build Chengdu, making Chengdu more prosperous.

Now the city is in turmoil and people are panicking, but in the Chongli Palace, singing and dancing are still in peace.

The dancers, with their sleeves up and their waists bent, are graceful and graceful, dancing to the rhythm of silk and bamboo orchestras.

Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, was fascinated by it.

But for today's gathering, in addition to Huang Hao, Beidi King Liu Chen, Shang Shu Ling Fan Jian, Zhongsan Doctor Qiao Zhou, Chariot General Xia Houba, Que Zheng, Zhang Shao and others were also invited.

Everyone is absent-minded.

The Liang army is marching towards Chengdu with great momentum, except for Liu Chan, no one is interested in enjoying singing and dancing anymore.

Even the dancer's face lost a little of her usual beauty.

Zhuge Zhan and his son, Zhang Zun, Huang Chong, and Li Qiu were all killed in battle, which dealt a huge blow to the morale of the people of Shu.

The soul of Shu lies in Zhuge Wuhou, Zhuge Zhan was defeated not only by the last troops in Chengdu, but also by the confidence and morale of the Shu people!
How much I once had high hopes for Zhuge Zhan, but now I am so disappointed.

In fact, Chengdu at this time has become an isolated city, and all the surrounding cities and villages have fled.

The notoriety of the Liang army is known all over the world, and they slaughter cities and build capitals at every turn. How has the gentle and soft central Sichuan seen such bloody fighting spirit?
Liu Chen, the king of the Northland, couldn't sit still at first, and waved his hands in distraught, "Get down, get down!"

The singing and dancing stopped abruptly, the dancing girl and musician hurriedly gave a salute, and hurriedly fled away.

"Hey—why are you doing this?" Liu Chan has a good temper and doesn't think he's disobedient at all.

"General Wei's father and son died in battle, the [-] army was lost, and Chengdu's troops were empty. What is the situation now?"

"What can I do for it?" Liu Chan looked at the beam of the palace.

Huang Hao said in a bitter tone: "The public and others are greatly favored by the state, and they have no good plan, but they come to embarrass Your Majesty!"

It was fine if he didn't speak, but when he spoke, he immediately attracted hostile eyes from everyone.

"If it weren't for your treachery and ingenuity to disrupt the country's affairs, how could the country end up like this?" Liu Chen hated Huang Hao the most.

I didn't dare to say a lot of things before, but now I don't have any fear.

The others would either scold Huang Hao angrily, or kneel down and beg Liu Chan to kill Huang Hao, in order to rectify the discipline...

There was chaos in the hall.

It seemed that as long as Huang Hao was killed, the Liang army outside the city would be nothing to worry about.

Liu Chan sighed again, watching coldly, the hall gradually became quiet, "Master Qiao, what do you think?"

Qiao Zhou served as the prince's servant, the prince's family order, and Guanglu doctor in the first emperor's time, and he was regarded as Liu Chan's mentor.

During the period when Zhuge Wuhou was the prime minister, Qiao Zhou was engaged in persuading learning. Scholars in central Shu were as influential as Yang Zhen and Zheng Xuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Qiao Zhou cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has his own plan, why ask the old minister?"

"Why do you need to ask? When you send Chengdu Jianfu, go up to the city wall to defend!" Liu Chen said anxiously.

But the more anxious Liu Chan was, the less he cared about him. Looking at Xia Houba, his eyes became brighter, "What do you think, General Che Qi?"

At this time, Xiahouba was nearly seventy years old, and he had lived a good life in the middle of Sichuan in the past few years. "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are more than [-] garrisons in Nanzhong, and [-] garrisons in Yong'an. They can be transferred back to King Qin of Chengdu. I have been blocked in the Jiange for more than half a year, and the food and grass are almost exhausted, so I thought that the general will have a good news in a few days."

Everyone looked at Xia Houba with a warmer look.

What Xia Houba said was like saying nothing, he seemed to be thinking about the Kingdom of Shu, but in fact he was picking up people's teeth, how to defend, Shang Shu Ling Fan Jian had already made a report.

Liu Chan shook his head lightly, "In that case, you might as well wait a few more days."

So many bigwigs didn't express their views, so he continued to wait and see.

In fact, there are not many young and strong men in Chengdu anymore. Of Zhuge Dan's 3 army, more than [-] are young men recruited by Chengdu.

Those who stayed in Chengdu had already lost their courage.

Huang Hao's eyes flashed, and when he was about to speak, Liu Chan stopped him with a wave of his sleeve.

At this time, no matter what Huang Hao says or does, it is wrong, and it will only intensify the further division between the DPRK and China.

After the banquet was over, Xia Houba and Qiao Zhou were left behind as expected.

There are only four people in the inner hall.

Liu Chan, Xia Houba, Qiao Zhou, and Huang Hao.

Many things are difficult to say outside, but here, you can speak freely.

"Chengdu has no soldiers to defend, and the support from the four sides is insufficient. Today is a battle or... Surrender, the two of you can make it clear." Liu Chan did not talk nonsense.

In the Kingdom of Shu today, it's not just that the [-] Liang troops marched straight in, but the hearts of the people were scattered.

Xia Houba lowered his eyebrows and dared not answer.

Qiao Zhou said: "I look at the sky at night, the man's energy is exhausted, the Northwest Breaker is above Di Wei, and the breaker is Yin Jin, which corresponds to the Northwest Jin Ge's spirit. Yang Zhengshi's greedy wolf, today's greedy wolf Hanging in the two palaces of Zi and Wu to guard their orders, the land is bound to have a broken army to respond. In the first battle of Feng Yi, Sima Zhao's more than [-] troops were wiped out. Also entered the game of seven kills!"

Liu Chan learned the Book of Changes from Qiao Zhou when he was young, so he could understand it naturally.

If Chengdu does not surrender, blood will flow.

Liu Chan asked Xia Houba to discuss it in detail, but he already had the intention of surrendering in his heart.

Guan Yu's defeat in Maicheng, the defeat of Xiandi Xiaoting, the defeat of Zhuge Wuhou's Jieting, and Jiang Wei's defeat of Duangu all drained the vitality of Shu, the enthusiasm of the people, and the heart of Liu Chan.

There are very few strong men who tried to restore the great Han back then.

Even without Du Yu's smuggling to Yinping this time, the Kingdom of Shu has actually come to an end.

The people are war-weary, the country is exhausted, and the hearts of the people are so, how can Jiang Wei alone be able to reverse it?
"Will this world be won by Yang Xingyun in the end?" A trace of loneliness appeared on Liu Chan's face.

"Whether the world will fall into Yang Zheng's hands is still unknown. However, after Feng Yi's battle, the conflict between the east and the west is a foregone conclusion. The Sima family used deception to take the country. How can the descendants last long? There will be great disasters in the future." Qiao Zhou is a great Confucian in Sichuan, so he naturally despises the actions of the Sima family.

Especially in the past few years, there have been more storytellers and actors in Shu, who have compiled a series of vicious stories about the Sima family into stories and operas, such as the Gaoping Mausoleum Change, the Luoshui Oath, and the Cutting of Famous Scholars, and performed them back and forth. Everyone in China knows.

This also made the Shuzhong scholars re-examine the moral issues of the Sima family.

Central Shu is considered to be the cleanest piece of land in the Three Kingdoms. The two families next door killed each other, and blood flowed like rivers. There was no such incident in Dushu.
