Chapter 496 Deng Ai Smuggles into Yinping
Wu, the second son of Sun Quan: (??????????) Needless to say, it has to be Eastern Wu!
Liu Bei & Cao Cao: ...This kid finally made it! ...
"When the time came, Cao Mao used his own power to nail Sima Zhao, and even the Sima family, to the pillar of historical shame. As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles."
"Sima Zhao was very anxious and soon launched a plan to attack Shu. Perhaps it was to make a good deed over his bad reputation, or perhaps he had planned to destroy Shu long ago, after all, Shu Han's national strength was not something that could be easily defeated."
"Especially since war is expensive, from a cost perspective, wouldn't attacking Shu Han be cheaper than attacking Wu?!"
The Shu Han rulers and ministers: (?°?д°?) Shameless villains!!!
"Therefore, Sima Zhao began his plan to conquer Shu. In August of 263 AD, Sima Zhao dispatched Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, and Zhuge Xu in a three-pronged attack on Shu."
"At this point, how many people in Shu Han still truly supported Jiang Wei? Moreover, Liu Shan had Huang Hao by his side. In short, Shu Han's fate was sealed."
"Not long after, Zhong Hui led his troops into Luogu, and Deng Ai was about to enter Tazhong. So Liu Shan sent Liao Hua and others to assist Jiang Wei."
"However, with the fall of Yang'an Pass, Jiang Wei retreated while suffering defeats, joining forces with Liao Hua and others, and retreated to Jiange. As a result, large swathes of Shu Han's territory fell into the hands of the Wei army."
"But this Baishui Pass is different from the others. Several routes into Shu all pass through this pass. But at this time, apart from the territories that have been abandoned or occupied, Shu Han only has the last pass left—Jiange."
"During this period, Sima Zhao was overjoyed by the frequent reports of victories, hoping to mitigate any negative impact. Therefore, he followed in Cao Cao's footsteps, being granted the title of Duke of Jin and receiving the Nine Bestowments."
"This also means that the day when Sima Zhao replaces Wei is not far off!"
The emperors of Cao Wei: ...
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: It really is true that emperors take turns, but their tricks are exactly the same...
First Emperor: If Zhuge Liang were still alive, he might have been able to keep those people in Shu Han in check. Shu Han was already a mere shell of its former self.
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty commented: Jiang Wei did his best, and Shu Han was already on its last legs. Besides, your later ruler Liu Shan surrendered first!
Liu/Guan/Zhang: (?_??) ? ? ……
At this moment, Liu Bei, sitting in front of the screen, was filled with a myriad of thoughts, his mind a jumbled mess.
Don't tell him that Jiang Wei was still resisting, and as a result, Liu Shan, the last emperor of Shu Han, surrendered to Sima Zhao!
Don't be angry...don't be angry, Liu Bei kept convincing (brainwashing) himself, despite his anger: This is my own son! My own son!
However, with a smile on his face, he gently instructed someone: "Someone, bring A Dou over. I have some things I want to talk to him about!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who witnessed the whole process, were still holding their hands in dissuasion, unsure of what to say.
Never mind, let's wait until the eldest brother starts beating people up, then we'll try to reason with him...
Liu Shan: Father, love me one more time?!
Other unfilial descendants who got beaten: This happened once, so we'll have to go through with it a second time!
Meanwhile, Sun Quan, in his youth, received the same treatment. He couldn't understand why his older brother had gone mad and preferred to beat him!
He remembered it well; among the Three Kingdoms, the one from Eastern Wu lived the longest. Wasn't that enough for his brother to praise him?!
Sun Ce: Sun Shiwan... I told you to attack Hefei and send 100,000 men... even 800 men couldn't beat you!!
……
Back to the live broadcast room.
Lin Ke spoke slowly, but inwardly he sighed. The Shu Han resistance to the very end was ultimately thwarted by a general who surrendered from Wei.
How can one not sigh for him?
"And at Jian Ge Wai, Zhong Hui's army has gathered. As the saying goes, 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained,' Deng Ai chose to sneak across Yinping to catch them off guard!"
"However, the Yinping Road is difficult to traverse, stretching for seven hundred li without any inhabitants. Deng Ai carved a path through the mountains, scaling trees and cliffs, and his troops suffered more than half their casualties. As a laborer, I truly admire such spirit. Was the conquest of Shu really such a great achievement?!"
"Let these people fight to the death to open a passage through the mountains?"
"However, within Shu Han, the morale had collapsed. The defending general, Ma Miao, surrendered without even trying. A regime collapsing from within is far more dangerous than an external threat."
All the people of Shu Han: Can't we just get up and save them?
