Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, just want to die

Chapter 728: Extra : Epilogue
"In the eleventh year of Yanxing, Liu Chan died of illness in Luoyang and was posthumously named Guangxuan. This Hanzhong ancestor, who was praised as the luckiest in history, finally died with a smile on his face."

"After his death, the crown prince Liu Xuan ascended the throne and became the new emperor in the same year. This disciple of Ma Su was the famous Emperor Zhaowu."

"Although Liu Xuan's posthumous title was Zhaowu, he did not fight many wars in his life. During the decades he was on the throne, he always implemented the Taoist philosophy taught by Ma Su."

"After Liu Xuan ascended the throne, he immediately issued a general amnesty and abolished the policy of suppressing Guandong that had been in place for more than 20 years during the reign of Liu Chan. He began to personally give lectures in some areas of Guandong and recruit students, and selected Guandong talents through unified examinations."

“The concepts of the Emperor’s disciples and the Crown Prince’s disciples were completely solidified at this time.”

"Thanks to the foundation of unified annotations of Confucian classics left by Ma Su, Emperor Zhaowu's examination policy went very smoothly. Many talents from Guandong, such as Zhang Hua, were selected and successfully entered the central government as officials. Guandong and Guanxi, which had been in opposition for many years, were also successfully reconciled with the efforts of Liu Xuan."

"In addition to the examinations, Liu Xuan also fully implemented the policy of inaction. He advocated frugality throughout the country and set an example himself. At one point, the dragon robe he wore had patches on it. Anyone who was extravagant and corrupt was severely punished."

"At the same time, in addition to ruling by inaction, Liu Xuan also advocated the development of the southeast. The court's resources and manpower were tilted towards the southeast, advocating military farming in Jiangdong and Lianghuai. Deng Ai, the governor of the southeast, also ushered in the highlight of his life, relying on his talent for military farming to become a general of the guard."

"It can be said that Liu Xuan implemented almost all the arrangements left by Ma Su. As a follower of General Ma Su, the emperor tried his best to restore the vitality of the Central Plains. All these achievements eventually converged into the most glorious "Han Ning Zhongxing" of the Later Han Dynasty."

"From a historical perspective, Emperor Zhaowu stabilized the fate of the Later Han Dynasty. Without him, the Later Han Dynasty would not have lasted for the next two hundred years."

"Because as time goes by, the impact of the Little Ice Age on the northern border becomes more and more obvious. As the weather continues to get colder, the nomadic tribes in the northern border are increasingly unable to survive. Although the court has set up six towns as a barrier, it is still difficult to cope with the increasing military pressure from the northern border."

"In the third year of the Han Ning reign, the Xianbei people rebelled, and General Jiang Wei led the Six Garrisons to suppress them. On the Jinyang front, 30,000 Han troops and the Xiongnu vassal army fought bloody battles for several days before repelling the starving Xianbei people."

"With this as a turning point, the Five Barbarians officially started to move south. The major Qiang and Barbarian tribes in the northern border began to attack the south without regard for their lives, and the entire area north of the Yellow River fell into endless war and chaos."

"This situation lasted until the end of the Ji Han Dynasty. It can be said that if Ji Han had not persisted in this long winter night, Han culture would have been broken when the Five Barbarians moved south."

"Fortunately, Liu Xuan still had the foundation left by Ma Su. With the cooperation of Prime Minister Chen Zhi and General Liu Yin, Ji Han's northern border defense line began to be gradually established. Liu Xuan also adopted the advice of General Shu Ji, using both kindness and force to selectively accept the Hu people who migrated south and resettle them uniformly."

"In the ninth year of Han Ning, the rebellious Xianbei people joined forces with the Wuhuan people and marched south to attack Changshan. The then King of Zhao, Liu Chen, carried his coffin into the city and led the Changshan army and civilians to desperately hold off the Hu people's fierce attack for a month."

"The Hu people attacked Changshan for a long time but failed to conquer it. Yecheng in Hebei had already become a pile of ruins. The Hu people could not find a city to settle in Hebei, and finally they were defeated when Jiang Wei arrived."

"It's time to talk about Jiang Wei. He was one of the most belligerent generals during the Zhaowu Dynasty. As mentioned before, Jiang Wei's lifelong dream was to conquer Langjuxu and establish unprecedented achievements. However, Ji Han did not have the wealth of the Hanwu period to fulfill his dream."

"During Liu Yin's era, Chen Zhi and Liu Yin jointly controlled Jiang Wei, leaving him little room to display his talents. But after all, he is a veteran from Ma Su's era, so we should give him some respect."

"So in the 19th year of Han Ning, General Liu Yin died of illness. After some negotiations, Zhang Yi took the initiative to step down and gave the generalship to this northern border gatekeeper of Ji Han. Liu Xuan even took out the family fortune he had accumulated over more than ten years to allow Jiang Wei to indulge himself."

"In the 21st year of Han Ning, General Jiang Wei of the Later Han Dynasty led 100,000 infantry and cavalry to the north. The Han army marched northward and recovered Yanmen, which had been occupied for a hundred years. They chased the enemy northward and killed the Xianbei king Murong in the south of the desert, which was considered an explanation to the 70-year-old veteran."

"Jiang Wei died with a smile on his face less than two years after returning from the Northern Expedition. Before he died, he was still grateful for the emperor's grace. From this point, we can see that the Liu family's ability to win people's hearts is innate."

"From Liu Bei's "three visits to the thatched cottage", to Liu Chan's "being happy and not thinking of Shu", and finally to Liu Xuan's "a thousand gold coins to honor the general". These three generations are all good at winning people's hearts. Maybe it's hereditary."

"But this can be regarded as Ji Han's last glory."

"You can also tell from the names that although people at that time called the Western Han Dynasty the Former Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty the Middle Han Dynasty, and called themselves the Later Han Dynasty. The historian Chen Shou also compiled the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, but later generations all called it the Later Han Dynasty."

"Ji Han Ji Han means the last Han. As the strongest night watchman of Chinese civilization in the coming winter, his life is not easy at this point."

"Since Zhaowu, the entire northern border has become a racetrack for the Five Barbarians. The nomadic peoples who could not survive in the northern border kept migrating south, desperately trying to find a way to survive. And during these two hundred years of winter, Ji Han has been resisting the direct impact of the northern border almost every day."

"After that, successive Han emperors tried to work hard and encourage frugality. All the money saved was used to maintain the northern border, but the war situation continued to deteriorate." "During the most tragic period, the entire north of the Yellow River was once occupied. Fortunately, there was no focus like Yecheng, and the Han army finally pushed back successfully."

"The two hundred years of the Ji Han dynasty can be regarded as a true vigil for China. It is the most tragic dynasty in history."

"Ji Han, you deserve the title!"

"Ji Han man! This is the era of true gentlemen!"

"My favorite dynasty, no doubt about it!"

"No more talking. I've already arrived at Master Ma's tomb. I just bought a Kongming duster to offer to Master Ma!"

"Shrimp and pig heart, right?"

"The three great romances of Ji Han fans: a unified world map is placed in front of Emperor Zhaolie, an admission letter from Hefei University is placed in front of Sun Quan's tomb, and Kong Ming Shan is placed in front of Ma Su's tomb!!!"

As the video came to an end, the comments suddenly increased. You can see countless viewers were enthusiastically sharing their feelings.

"It looks like Ji Han is still the most popular. There haven't been so many comments in the past." The video blogger looked at the direction of the video and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

However, when he opened the comment section, he found a unique comment.

"The analysis of Ji Han is indeed very good. All my doubts are cleared up. But as for Ma Su... I wonder if there is a possibility that he simply wants to die?"

This is still a highly praised comment, but there are a lot of people below saying that he is talking nonsense.

"Even if you want to die, Master Ma won't do that!"

"Can you become a soldier crazy by committing suicide? Do you think this is a novel?"

"I see this guy again, he's definitely a Ma Ye hater!!"

Clicking on the homepage of the person named "Ma Mou, who wants to die", you can see that the places he most often visits are the Wuhou Temple and the Wu'an Temple.

The most recent one was a photo of the piles of Kongming dusters in front of Ma Su's tomb, with a photo of a person who did not know whether to laugh or cry.

At the bottom, there is a sentence:
"Yuyou Cangtian, how can you be so inferior to me!!"

"What a strange person. If you don't know him, you would think he is Ma Su." The blogger shook his head.

"But this guy is really idle. Why does he go to these places related to Ji Han every day? Doesn't he have to work?"

"Forget it, forget about that, it's time to write the copy."
