When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 185: Sacrificing one’s life to accompany a gentleman

"No, brother, I'm fine. Director Zhen, I still have some questions that I'd like you to answer."

"it is good."

Chen Deng shook his head at Liu Bei. He grabbed his arm, and the slight trembling gradually subsided. The strange color on his face disappeared in an instant, as if the emotion just revealed was just an illusion. When he saw Zhen De nodded in agreement, he opened his mouth and exhaled a heavy breath, and his voice became calmer.

"Director Zhen, I don't know much about the 'TV series' that the crew is filming. To be precise, I have forgotten most of the plot and only have a general impression. Could you give me a brief summary?"

"Row."

Witnessing Chen Deng's calmness, Zhen De couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this excellent strategist was really good at manipulating emotions. It seemed that he instantly realized that there were some things that he couldn't say openly.

Thoughts swirled in his head, and a rough introduction came to his mind. Zhen De said, "The TV series we are shooting is called Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by Mr. Luo Guanzhong. It was derived from Chen Shou's Records of the Three Kingdoms in the Western Jin Dynasty. It combines folk anecdotes and stories from the Jin Dynasty to the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It mainly tells the historical events of the last hundred years from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty. The world will eventually be divided after a long period of unity, and will eventually be united after a long period of division. The Eastern Han Dynasty was torn apart, and heroes took turns to appear on the stage. The separatist situation lasted until the world was divided into three parts, and the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu confronted each other. In the end, the Sima family won and the Three Kingdoms returned to the Jin Dynasty."

"Wei, Shu, and Wu"

Chen Deng chewed these three words in his mouth. Wei was originally one of the seven major powers in the Warring States Period. Since Emperor Taizu Gaodi achieved hegemony and founded the Han Dynasty, he established Wei County on the former territory of Wei State. Wang Mang usurped the power and called it Weicheng, which belonged to Jizhou.

The seat of Wei County coincides with the seat of Jizhou in the current Han Dynasty, both of which are Yecheng. The country names are evolved from fiefdoms and titles. If Yecheng is the capital of a country, its influence can not only cover Hedong, but also Hexi.

As a member of the Han Dynasty scholars, Chen Deng was well aware that the Han Dynasty scholars were obsessed with the theory of prophecies and divination.

Emperor Xiaowu once said at a banquet for his ministers, "The Han Dynasty is in trouble for six or seven years, and the law should be renewed. Who among the descendants of the royal family should take this responsibility? The one who will rule the Han Dynasty for six or seven generations is Dang Tugao."

"魏" has the same pronunciation as "巍", which also means tall.

Thinking in this way, whether it is influence or prophecy, "Wei" fits the bill perfectly.

But Chen Deng knew that these were nothing but far-fetched. If prophecy and metaphysics really existed, who could be greater than his brother, and more likely to imply the prophecy of Emperor Xiaowu, if he came to the fairyland in the afterlife?
If all the Han people knew
Chen Deng was frightened by the sudden thought in his mind, but he suppressed the thought for the time being. What happened to Zhang Jiao was right in front of him. If his brother did this, His Majesty would never let him off easily. In short, combined with what Director Zhen just said, I surrendered to Cao Cao and guarded Guangling for him for a long time, which was basically the rest of my life. In this way, the Lord of Wei must be Cao Cao.

As for Wu, Wu is located in Jiangdong. The one I am guarding against in Guangling should be an invasion by people from Jiangdong. It must be either Sun Ce or a member of the Sun family.

The last Shu, needless to say, is Yizhou.
My brother is a hero whom I respect. Even if he has not come to the paradise of the afterlife, I believe that he will achieve great things.

Coming from a humble background, yet controlling one-third of the world, isn't this what I expect from a hero?
However, Yizhou is a long way from Xuzhou, and the hardships involved must have made those who heard about it sad and shed tears. But Yizhou is a land of abundance, and Emperor Taizu Gao achieved his hegemony here, so why was it destroyed by the Sima family?
All thoughts are but a moment.

Chen Deng had already made up his mind. He asked, "Why did the Three Kingdoms fall to the Jin Dynasty? Yizhou is a land of abundance, Jiangdong is a dangerous place along the Yangtze River, and Wei occupies a land of great wealth."

Upon hearing Chen Deng's question, Zhen De did not think much about it. He just thought that Liu Bei had greeted Chen Deng. He replied: "Although Yizhou is a land of abundance, the first lord was displaced and started too late. Jingzhou was also attacked by the Eastern Wu, and the famous general Guan Yu was killed. Since then, Prime Minister Zhuge's Longzhong Plan has failed halfway. As for the northern expedition to the Central Plains from Yizhou, to be honest, it is too difficult."

"Although Yizhou is the place where the dragon rises, it is also suitable for resting, which can easily wear out the heroic spirit. Even Zhang Liang made a rare misjudgment and thought that we should rest for a while. If Han Xin had not asked to send troops, we would have missed the opportunity, the morale of the soldiers would have been worn out, and we would not be facing a loose vassal state."

"After the death of the First Lord, what kind of situation did Prime Minister Zhuge face? There were rebellions at home and powerful enemies outside. Most of the elite troops at home were lost, and the nobles of Yizhou were restless. It can be said that there were wolves all around, and it was a critical moment for survival. However, Prime Minister Zhuge reversed the situation."

"He suppressed the rebellion, pacified politics, established Jinguan, and enforced strict laws. Yizhou became rich again, and had the strength to support the prime minister's northern expedition. At forty, one is free from doubts, and at fifty, one knows the will of heaven. The prime minister at that time was almost at the age of knowing the will of heaven, but he resolutely presented the memorial to the emperor and started the first northern expedition. He alone accomplished the things that Han Xin, Xiao He, and Zhang Liang did. Unfortunately, in the end, they all turned into the sad wind of Wuzhangyuan."

"When I saw this in my childhood, I felt so uncomfortable and panicked that I couldn't bear to watch it any further."

After saying that, Zhen De sighed. He found that he didn't know when he was surrounded. Several tall figures blocked out the sunlight. He looked up and saw silent faces, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian.
Liu Bei even lowered his head and thought to himself, Prime Minister, it is me and my unborn son who have let you down.
When I thought about Liu Chan opening the city and surrendering later.

Liu Bei, who was always "friendly", felt a nameless fire rising in his heart again. His brows knitted deeper and deeper, and he subconsciously reached for the sword at his waist.
Where is Naigong's sword? !
Chen Deng remained silent for a long time. If someone said such words to him in person, he would definitely be dismissive. But what if these words came from the mouth of a great sage? Or from a great sage in the future?
Prime Minister Zhuge
Are all such powerful people following Brother Ding?
As he thought about it, Chen Deng raised his eyes, looked around at everyone, and then looked at the ashamed and angry Liu Bei. He understood something.

There is a saying that goes, If you treat me like a national hero, I will repay you like a national hero.

Even if one is a scholar of genius, how can one compare to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang as described by Director Zhen?

This extremely wise person never left his brother's side even after his brother's death, and devoted himself to fighting for his brother's ambitions.

Moreover, according to the records in the history books here, I have done my best to preserve the clan.

So how can we give up such a precious opportunity?
Recalling the joy of receiving Liu Bei's first letter and the happiness of meeting Liu Bei for the first time, Chen Deng had already made up his mind. He closed his eyes and murmured, "Forget it, forget it, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman."

　I wish you a happy new year in advance and all the best.
