Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

Inside Han Cheng's study, Han Cheng's voice continued to ring.

Telling Liu Bei about Jiang Wei.

There are many shining figures in Shu Han, but in Han Cheng's opinion, there are only a few who are particularly dazzling.

Especially after Zhuge Liang's death, there are fewer and fewer shining figures.

The most dazzling one among them is undoubtedly Jiang Wei Jiang Boyao.

A person who had never met Liu Bei, inherited the Northern Expedition from Zhuge Liang, and fought until the last moment, was worthy of Han Cheng's detailed explanation to Liu Bei.

"In the 20th year of Yanxi, Zhuge Dan, the general of Wei Zhengdong, raised an army in Huainan to rebel against the Sima clan.

Cao Wei mobilized troops from Guanzhong to march eastward.

Jiang Wei planned to take advantage of the situation and head towards Qinchuan, and led tens of thousands of people out of Luo Valley.

At that time, there was a lot of grain stored at the Great Wall but few soldiers guarding it, and they were all frightened when they heard that Jiang Wei was coming.

Wei general Sima Wang and Deng Ai guarded the Great Wall, while Jiang Wei stationed his troops at Mangshui and set up camp on the mountain.

Sima Wang and Deng Ai strengthened their defense facilities along the Wei River. Jiang Wei sent letters of challenge many times, but Sima Wang and Deng Ai did not respond.

In the first year of Jingyao, Jiang Wei returned to Chengdu after hearing that Zhuge Dan was defeated and killed.

Liu Chan restored Jiang Wei to his position as general.

Yang Xi, the captain of the archery team, had previously followed Jiang Wei on an expedition. Because he did not obey Jiang Wei, he spoke arrogantly after drinking.

Jiang Wei couldn't bear it.

After returning to the army, the officials followed the emperor's order and recommended the dismissal of Yang Xi.

The eunuch Huang Hao and the Shangshu Ling Chen Zhi, who were in cahoots with each other, began to interfere in state affairs this year.

Although Jiang Wei was above Chen Zhi in rank, he was often away on military campaigns and rarely interfered in state affairs, so his power in the court was not as great as that of Chen Zhi.

At that time, the people were exhausted due to years of war. The Zhongsan Doctor Qiao Zhou discussed the pros and cons with Chen Zhi and wrote "On Hatred of the Country".

But to be honest, Qiao Zhou later became a capitulator..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei clenched his fists.

Then he took up a pen and wrote down Qiao Zhou's name.

It’s just that he was recorded together with Mi Fang, Fu Shiren, Ma Su and others.

"...Jiang Wei believed that the defensive strategy in Hanzhong would not achieve great results.

So he changed his strategy to gathering troops and grain, and ordered Hu Ji to retreat to Hanshou.

Wang Han defended Lecheng, Jiang Bin defended Hancheng...

In the fifth year of Jingyao, Jiang Wei was disgusted with Huang Hao's dictatorship and asked Liu Chan to execute him.

Liu Chan refused and said to Jiang Wei: Huang Hao is just a minor official, why do you care about him?
Jiang Wei had been on the march for many years without making any achievements. Seeing the yellow twigs and leaves hanging on the branches, he was afraid of saying something wrong, so he resigned and left.

Liu Chan asked Huang Hao to apologize to Jiang Wei, and Jiang Wei took the opportunity to request to go to Da Zhong to grow wheat.

In the autumn of the same year, Jiang Wei led his army out of Han and Houhe.

In October, Jiang Wei was defeated by Deng Ai in Houhe and retreated to Dazhong.

Huang Hao wanted to abolish Jiang Wei and cultivate the Right General Yan Yu. Jiang Wei was also worried that Huang Hao would harm him, so he didn't dare to return to Chengdu..."

When Liu Bei heard Han Cheng's words, his mood became a little bad.

It was like being hit hard.

My head is buzzing.

He finally heard from Han Cheng the news regarding his son becoming emperor.

As a result, what he heard was his own son making trouble!

Get close to the eunuchs!

Stay away from wise ministers!

A great general like Jiang Wei clearly told him the danger posed by Huang Hao.

Not only did he not punish Huang Hao, but he also pleaded for Huang Hao and made excuses for him.

In order to protect themselves, generals like Jiang Wei had to ask to go out to train troops and farm.

"You bastard! How dare you do such a thing?!"

Just now I was thinking that it wouldn't be a bad thing for my son to become emperor.

At the very least, he is a king who maintains the status quo.

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, this dog would poop a huge pile of shit!
For Liu Bei, this feeling was so sour and refreshing!
This was something he had never expected.

Be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains - this was the earnest advice that Kong Ming wrote to him in "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital".

Don't do something small for good, and don't do something small for evil.

This is also the last words I left for him.

In the end, he treated it all as fart.

I didn’t take it to heart at all!

Liu Bei's fist hardened

He felt that after he returned, he must teach this brat Adou a lesson!
"In the sixth year of Jingyao, Jiang Wei heard that Zhong Hui was commanding troops in Guanzhong, so he submitted a petition to Liu Chan, requesting that Zhang Yi and Liao Hua be sent to guard the Yang'an Pass and Yinping Bridge respectively to prevent any danger.

But Huang Hao believed in ghosts and gods and told Liu Chan that the enemy would not come.

The officials of Shu Han were also unaware of this matter.

The Wei army attacked Shu from five directions, waiting until Zhong Hui was about to head towards Luo Valley and Deng Ai was about to enter Da Zhong.

Liu Chan then sent Liao Hua to support Da Zhong, and Zhang Yi and Dong Jue to support Yang'an Pass.

When Liao Hua arrived in Yinping, he heard that Wei general Zhuge Xu was going to build his power, so he stayed to observe his movements..."

Liu Bei's already hard fist became even harder at this time.

What the hell did this bastard do? !
Instead of listening to the general at the border, he listened to a eunuch!
How incompetent, how stupid!
This kind of bastard is really infuriating! !

Liu Bei's mood became worse.

There is an endless amount of depression suppressed in the chest.

Now, he finally understood why there was no way to restore the Han Dynasty.

Why couldn’t the Northern Expedition succeed?

In particular, Jiang Wei's repeated northern expeditions were unable to achieve much success.

In addition to the issue of Jiang Wei's ability, there is a more important issue, which is that Jiang Wei does not have the status of Kong Ming and the corresponding power.

We can’t bring everyone together to face the outside world in unison.

The situation was already difficult.

When he was carrying out the Northern Expedition, there were many people holding him back.

Especially his own son, who should have firmly supported the Northern Expedition.

Instead, it's holding us back.

Under such circumstances, how could the Northern Expedition succeed?
"... Zhong Hui besieged the two cities of Han and Le, and sent another army to attack the Yang'an Pass.

The Shu general Jiang Shu opened the city and surrendered, but Fu Qian fought to the death.

Seeing that the pass had been taken, Zhong Hui drove straight in...

Deng Ai ordered Wang Qi, Qian Hong and Yang Xin to attack Jiang Wei.

When Jiang Wei learned that Zhong Hui had entered Hanzhong, he led his troops back.

Yang Xin and others pursued Jiang Wei to Qiangchuankou, where a fierce battle ensued. Jiang Wei was defeated and retreated to Yinping.

At that time, Zhuge Xu's Yongzhou army blocked the road. Jiang Wei entered the north road from Konghan Valley and wanted to get out from behind them. Zhuge Xu ordered his army to retreat thirty miles.

After Jiang Wei learned about this, he led his troops across the bridge quickly.

Zhuge Xu quickly led his troops to intercept them, but they were unable to catch up with Jiang Wei's army.

Jiang Wei went to Yinping to meet Liao Hua, intending to gather troops to rescue Guancheng.

As a result, he learned that the city gate had been breached, so he had to abandon Yinping and retreat to Baishui.

He then joined forces with Zhang Yi and Dong Jue, and they retreated to Jiange...

Zhong Hui wrote to Jiang Wei saying: My Lord, you are a man of both civil and military talents, with extraordinary strategies, and your achievements have spread to Ba and Han, and your reputation has spread throughout China.

People from far and near are all subservient to your great name.

Whenever I think of the past, I recall that we shared the same dynasty and the same influence of the Great Wei. The friendship between Wu Jizha and Zheng Zichan can be used to illustrate the relationship between us.

Jiang Wei did not respond, but deployed his troops to form a battle array and guard the strategic points strictly.

Zhong Hui attacked, but was repeatedly repelled by Jiang Wei.

Therefore, Zhong Hui discussed with the generals and prepared to withdraw.

At this time, Deng Ai sneaked across the Jinggu Road, marched to Mianzhu, and killed Zhuge Zhan.

Deng Ai marched into Chengdu, and Liu Chan opened the city and surrendered. He also sent Jiang Xian with an imperial decree asking Jiang Wei to surrender.

When Jiang Wei first heard that Zhuge Zhan had been defeated, he also heard that Liu Chan planned to defend Chengdu.

I also heard that he planned to march eastward into the State of Wu, and I also heard that he planned to march southward into Jianning.

So he led the troops into Bazhong with Zhang Yi, Liao Hua, Dong Jue and others.

Go to Guanghan and Pidao to judge the reality.

Zhong Hui marched to Fu County and sent Xiahou Xian, Hu Lie, Tian Xu, Pang Hui and others to pursue Jiang Wei in different directions..."

"Bang!!!"

A muffled sound was heard in Han Cheng's study.

Indeed, Liu Bei could no longer bear it, he picked up the chair he was sitting on and smashed it hard to the ground.

"You bastard! You bastard! When I get back, I'll chop off your head and feed it to the dogs!!"

He cursed loudly and his emotions were extremely volatile.

The whole mood is simply beyond description!!
My own son is the biggest traitor to our country!

The soldiers in the front were still fighting for their lives, but he, the one behind him, had already been forced to surrender!

Deng Ai led his men along the Yinping Trail.

How many soldiers can you lead?
As long as we are a little prepared and put up a little resistance.

They can also wear down Deng Ai and others to death!

He was truly alone in the deep!

But in the end, this bastard surrendered so easily!

Since Chengdu was chosen by myself as the capital.

And how long has it been since it became the capital?

It will definitely be built to be extremely solid, easy to defend and difficult to attack!

How could he surrender so easily?
What a jerk!
Zilong shouldn't have saved him at Changbanpo!

Let him die right there!!
At this time, Liu Bei was so furious!
He felt that his son would definitely not do too badly.

But who could have imagined that the actual situation was so bad!

It's truly a case of a tiger father and a dog son!

Listen to Liu Bei's cursing and watch his reaction.

Han Cheng, Zhu Yuanzhang and others were not surprised at all.

According to Liu Bei's character, as well as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and many other people, they worked hard to restore the Han Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, everyone learned about the bad things Liu Chan had done.

It would be strange if Liu Bei could be calm...

"When Jiang Wei arrived at Li County, he received an imperial decree from Liu Chan and ordered his soldiers to lay down their weapons and armor.

He handed over his imperial seal to Hu Lie and surrendered to Zhong Hui from Dongdao.

The soldiers in the army drew their swords and chopped the stones to vent their anger...

After Jiang Wei surrendered to Zhong Hui, Zhong Hui asked: Why did you come so late?
Jiang Wei said: It’s already very fast that we can come here today.

Zhong Hui thought highly of Jiang Wei, and temporarily gave him a seal and a title, and he would ride in the same carriage and sit at the same table with him.

He also said to the Chief Clerk Du Yu:
If we compare Jiang Boyao to other famous people in the Central Plains, even Zhuge Dan and Xiahou Xuan cannot compare to him.

On the first day of the first month of the first year of Xianxi in Wei, Deng Ai was framed by Zhong Hui and was ordered by Cao Wei to be taken back to Luoyang in a prison cart.

At this time, Zhong Hui thought that he had achieved great success and could no longer be under someone else's control, so he plotted a rebellion.

Jiang Wei noticed Zhong Hui's ulterior motives and thought he could take this opportunity to revive Shu Han, so he said to Zhong Hui:
I heard that you have been very careful in your planning since you suppressed the rebellion in Huainan, and the prosperity of Jin is all due to you.

Now you have pacified Shu, your power and virtue are spreading across the world, and the people are in awe of your great achievements.

The monarch is in awe of your strategy. Do you want to return peacefully like this?

Han Xin was unwilling to abandon the Han Dynasty during times of war, but was suspected during times of peace.

Wen Zhong refused to follow Fan Li's advice and retired to the Five Lakes, where he eventually died by committing suicide by sword.

Is this the case with a foolish ruler and foolish ministers?
It's caused by interests.

Now that you have accomplished great deeds and shown great virtue, why don't you follow the example of Tao Zhugong and sail on the rivers and lakes to preserve your achievements and protect yourself?

Climb the Emei Mountain and travel with Chisongzi?
Zhong Hui said: What you said is too lofty, I can't do it.

Besides, given the current situation, perhaps retiring is not the only option.

Jiang Wei said: You have enough intelligence to figure out the rest, so don’t bother me.

The two of them are very happy...

On the 15th, Zhong Hui brought Jiang Wei and others to Chengdu.

On the 16th, Zhong Hui invited the generals, county governors, cavalry commanders and above, as well as former Shu Han officials, to hold a funeral for the empress dowager in the Shu Han court.

He also forged the Empress Dowager's will, ordering them to join forces to raise an army and depose Sima Zhao.

Those who refused to obey were locked up in the Cao houses of Yizhou.

Jiang Wei asked Zhong Hui to kill the generals coming from the north.

He planned to wait until they died, then kill Zhong Hui, annihilate all the Wei soldiers, and revive Shu Han.

So he secretly wrote a letter to Liu Chan saying: I hope Your Majesty can endure the humiliation for a few days. I want to restore the country from danger to safety, and the sun and the moon to light again.

Zhong Hui proclaimed himself the governor of Yizhou and started a rebellion. He decided to let Jiang Wei lead 50,000 men as the vanguard out of Xiegu, while he would lead the main army to follow.

When they arrived in Chang'an, they ordered the cavalry to take the land route and the infantry to take the water route and float down the Wei River into the Yellow River.

He believed that they could reach Mengjin in five days, and then meet up with the cavalry in Luoyang, and the world could be conquered in one fell swoop.

On the 18th, soldiers led by Nan'an Governor Hu Lie and others launched a mutiny in Chengdu.

Zhong Hui was shocked and said to Jiang Wei: The soldiers are coming and seem to want to cause trouble. What should we do?

Jiang Wei said: "We have no choice but to fight them." So he led Zhong Hui's trusted men to fight and killed five or six of them.

The Wei army killed Jiang Wei, then rushed forward to kill Zhong Hui...

Chengdu Rebellion, Jiang Wei's wife and children, and Liu Xuan, the former crown prince of Shu Han.

Officials Zhang Yi, Jiang Bin, Jiang Xian, Wei Ji and others were all killed by Wei soldiers.

The Wei soldiers looted without restraint and it took several days to stabilize the situation.

Afterwards, Deng Ai and his son were also killed by Tian Xu at the instigation of Wei Guan...

When he was dying, Jiang Wei sighed helplessly, my plan failed, it was fate!
After Jiang Wei died, someone cut open his chest and abdomen.

I found that he was as bold as a lion.

And that secret letter of just a few dozen words was not known to anyone at the time.

It was not until more than eighty years later that Huan Wen conquered Shu and saw this long-sealed secret letter.

This short secret letter made Huan Wen, a famous and powerful official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, feel deeply moved.

Silent for a long time.

Finally, Zhuge Liang can rest in peace...

The appearance of this secret letter makes people admire Jiang Wei, the talented boy, even more.

When the Emperor's uncle, Prime Minister Zhuge, Generals Guan, Zhang, Zhao and many other people were born, the Han Dynasty had already become decadent.

I have not experienced the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

But he worked hard all his life to restore the Han Dynasty.

When Jiang Wei and others were born, the Han Dynasty was even more decadent.

And Jiang Wei himself has not met you, Uncle Emperor.

However, in the end, he spent his entire life striving to conquer the north in an effort to restore the Han Dynasty.

If this secret letter had not been discovered later, Jiang Wei would have been misunderstood as someone who had truly surrendered and was following Zhong Hui wholeheartedly..."

Han Cheng's voice sounded slowly.

After saying this, Han Cheng couldn't help but sniff.

Even if he had known this for a long time, even if these things happened thousands of years ago.

But when I talk about these again, I am still full of emotion.

The Shu Han people were truly a group of idealists who had been working hard for the Han Dynasty.

Until the last moment of life...
