Chapter 537 Setting Sun
The sun is setting in the west, the setting sun is like blood.

The afterglow is scattered all over the mountains, rivers, cities, and battlefields of Sichuan...

The word "family" seems to have awakened the soldiers of the Shu army.

In this chaotic world of brutal slaughter, what is more important than family?
The spears were thrown on the ground, the swords were thrown on the ground, and the "Han" flag was also thrown in the blood mud...

The Shu army withdrew from the battlefield one after another, and the exhausted Liang army did not catch up.

There are still several small forces resisting on the battlefield, shouting "big man" hysterically!
However, their great man is doomed to perish today.

Jiang Wei and more than a hundred of his own soldiers were trapped in the siege, and the cavalry who followed him in the charge also disappeared.

He looked up at the battlefield, and the Shu army's formation had collapsed.

The cry of "Long live, long live" from the Liang army was everywhere.

The brilliance in his eyes gradually faded, and blood and the setting sun stained his whole body.

"Your Majesty has ordered that all officers and men should not resist, and return to their hometowns to reunite with their parents, wives and children!"

The shouting is still there.

Jiang Wei suddenly remembered that many years ago, when he surrendered to Shu, his elderly mother who stayed in Tianshui sent him a letter asking him to return home.

Back then, he was young and energetic, and he wanted to help the big man. He wrote back to reject his mother: "A hundred hectares of good land is not in one mu, but there is ambition, which is not in angelica."

It was passed as a good talk in those days, leaving behind the allusion of "not in Angelica".

But now at this age, if he wants to take care of his mother, it has already been separated forever.

If there is no filial piety, the great cause of helping the big man will come to an end.

All kinds of emotions bite in his heart like a poisonous snake, making everything in front of Jiang Wei blurred.

"General!"

The soldiers supported Jiang Wei and pulled him back to reality.

It is not the enemy who knows the weaknesses of one's own side best, but often one's own people.

From the slogan shouted by the cavalry, Jiang Wei knew who was leading everything behind the scenes.

Looking at the Kingdom of Shu, who else can afford to keep such an elite cavalry without compromising?
A eunuch is of course impossible.

And it's not necessary either.

"Your Majesty..." Jiang Wei looked at the hazy Chengdu in the distance in the setting sun.

Like a big mountain lying in front of him...

But everything is not important anymore. Gradually, his heart suddenly became very calm, "The big man is not prosperous, the crime of non-war is actually the destiny, you just run for your life!"

The one in Chengdu doesn't want to fight anymore, so what can I do?

Back then, Marquis Wu couldn't succeed, how far could he go?
"General!" The soldiers got off their horses and bowed down.

Then one by one surrendered to the Liang army.

In the end, there were still more than 20 personal guards who never left, and they all had gray temples, and the wrinkles on their faces were full of vicissitudes.

"Why don't you go? Parents, wives and children are waiting at home."

"Parents have brothers to take care of them, and their children have grown up, and they can follow the general, even if they die, they will not regret it!" The faces of the old soldiers were as calm as Jiang Wei.

"Even though I die, I don't hate, even though I die, I don't hate, haha, good, I, Jiang Wei, can get you to follow me, and this life is not in vain!" Jiang Wei clenched his long lance again, and the old soldiers also clenched their ring-shoudao.

The two armies surrounded them on all sides.

Spears and blades are layered on top of each other.

"The general is originally from Liang, and he has known the prince for many years, so it is better to return to his hometown!" Du Yu made his last effort.

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "It is better for the world to fall into the hands of Yang Xingyun than to fall into the hands of the Sima family. The only one who can help China revive the world is Yang Xingyun."

Du Yu was overjoyed, thinking that Jiang Wei was tempted, "In this case, the general enters Liangzhou, and he can fulfill his life's ambition!"

What an exciting undertaking is this?

When an empire falls, another empire must rise.

Most of the long river of history is dark, but there are always one or two bright colors.

Like a big man.

Jiang Wei looked up to the sky and sighed: "For so many years, the great Han soldiers followed me in the Northern Expedition. How many heroic souls were buried in foreign lands? How many loyal bones were buried in other lands? Duan Gu was defeated, and the morale of the great Han was completely destroyed. It's all my fault. What face is there today? drag on?"

At this moment, Zhuge Wuhou's voice, appearance and appearance flashed in his mind.

Du Yu is still waiting to persuade.

However, Jiang Wei said calmly: "When the great man collapses, how can there be no loyal souls to follow him? I, Jiang Wei, shall shed the last of my loyal blood for the great man. I would rather die than fight and live."

The long lance is erected, and the long knife is forward.

"Big man!" Jiang Wei roared angrily, and was the first to charge towards Du Yu.

"Big man!" The soldiers behind him followed closely.

Every step is weighty.

Even the surrounded Liangzhou soldiers showed reverence on their faces.

Although the Shu Han has perished, it is still a ray of light in this turbid, dark and chaotic world.

Compared with Sima and Soochow, there is a world of difference in spirit.

"You won't fall into the prestige of a big man!" Du Yu waved his hand regretfully.

The spear pierced out like a wall, and Jiang Wei and more than 20 soldiers collided with the tip of the spear.

The bright red blood spilled into the air, overlapping with the afterglow of the setting sun...

On February [-]th of the fifth year of Ganlu, Wuyin, the vernal equinox, Jiang Wei, the general of the Shu Han Dynasty, was killed...

Heavy bells sounded from Chengming Tower in the imperial city.

Thick, desolate and vigorous.

The bell rang straight into the sky, as if a dynasty was going away with a bang.

The city of Chengdu, which was restless, frightened, and fearful, suddenly calmed down amid the sound of bells.

It seems that the people have been waiting for this moment to come.

No crying, no noise, only quietly waiting.

In the alleys and streets, occasionally someone breathed a long sigh of relief.

It has been 39 years since the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty, and the people have been overwhelmed and exhausted.

In the Beidi Palace, Liu Chen heard the bell and ran into the Zhaolie Temple in a daze, knelt under Emperor Zhaolie's throne, crying bitterly, "The big man is dead, dead!"

Halfway through crying, I suddenly remembered something, and hurried back to the mansion, beheaded my wife and concubine first, then killed my parents and children, and finally committed suicide with my sword...

Du Yu cleaned up the battlefield, released all the prisoners, and sent them home to reunite with their families. Even Zhang Yi, Liao Hua and other important Shu generals were released. For a while, the Shu army praised their kindness again and again.

The Liang army wrapped the 26 corpses of Jiang Wei and others with the Han flag and sent them to the city of Chengdu.

Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, removed the title of the country, the title of the emperor, and the imperial robe, put on sackcloth, held the seal of the country, and led his officials out of the city to surrender to Du Yu.

When Ziying, the last emperor of the Qin Dynasty, surrendered, he wore a plain chariot with a white horse tied around his neck, sealed the emperor's seal with a talisman festival, and descended to the side of the road to welcome the Chu army.

The same is true for Liu Chan, with an extremely humble expression.

There is a dullness in the humility, like a late and dull old man.

Compared with Du Yu, he is indeed an old man.

Du Yu led the soldiers to accept the gift from the king and ministers of the Kingdom of Shu, "If you didn't know the righteousness, how many soldiers and people would have died in the war, and you have made great contributions to China!"

Half flattery, half sincerity.

The princes and ministers of the Kingdom of Shu heard the words, and their faces softened a lot.

Afterwards, Du Yu, Qiao Zhou, Zhang Shao, Li Mi and other Shu officials saluted one by one. They performed the ceremony very respectfully without the slightest arrogance, just like a younger generation visiting an elder.

The last grievances in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of the Kingdom of Shu also disappeared.

Actively cooperate with Du Yu to take over the city defense, treasury, household registration, money and food.

Linghu Sheng and Shan Gu naturally became Du Yu's assistants.

Liu Chan personally sent a letter to Luo Xian of Yong'an and Huo Yi of Nanzhong to keep their guards safe and not to move rashly, and ordered Jiange Dong Jue to surrender to the Liang army.
