Chapter 497 Shu Han: Almost there...
"As for Deng Ai, although he came from a humble background, he still dared to think and fight even at his age. With his methods, he actually managed to smuggle himself into Yinping!"
"However, even though Shu Han's confidence was first shattered by its own people, Liu Shan did not give up. He chose to resist. After Ma Miao surrendered, Liu Shan sent Zhuge Liang's son, Zhuge Zhan."
"However, the final battle between Han and Wei broke out, and even if the city was defended, the results were minimal."
"Therefore, Zhuge Zhan arrayed his troops at Mianzhu to await Deng Ai. Unfortunately, at this time, Shu Han was like Cao Wei, and neither of these two was in a good position. So Zhuge Zhan was no match for Deng Ai and his men, and he and his son Zhuge Shang died in battle at Mianzhu."
"At that time, Deng Ai used the title of Prince of Langya to induce Zhuge Zhan to surrender, but Zhuge Zhan and his men were descendants of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, so how could they possibly agree?"
Zhuge Zhan and his son: The Zhuge family has been deeply indebted to the country, and today... we express our gratitude to the late Emperor!
"Now that things have come to this, Shu Han has indeed reached its end, and its destruction is imminent."
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei: ...
Sun Quan: Being old is good, I can't even see my own group go bankrupt, hahaha!
Cao Cao: Haha, that big-eared scoundrel is really in trouble! It was only a matter of time before Shu Han fell into such disarray!
Liu Bei: Cao Cao! Don't forget, the one who stole Cao Wei was none other than Sima Yi, who was under your command!
Zhang Fei: My brother is right! What's so funny! Your Cao family's failure to pay off their debts is due to your own problems!
Everyone in the Cao family: ...
"As for Jiang Wei, upon hearing of the defeat at Mianzhu, he did not return to reinforce the city. Instead, he withdrew from Jiange and headed towards Bazhong. Thus, Deng Ai entered Shu as if it were an empty land."
"However, while Jiang Wei's actions are controversial, it cannot be denied that it was Liu Shan, the last ruler of Shu Han, who delivered the final blow. Faced with the impending attack of the Wei army, Qiao Zhou advised him to surrender, and he surrendered without much hesitation."
"Moreover, when the Wei army came with great force, there were reports of it, but Huang Hao believed in fortune telling and thought that the Wei army would definitely not come to attack. Liu Shan actually believed it!"
"So when the Wei army was at the city gates, these people really panicked, and some even suggested that we should go and surrender to Eastern Wu!"
The people of Wanchao: Not even the slightest resistance?!
"Sigh, think about how Liu Bei, the first lord, started his business with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and others. They had family backgrounds and connections. What did he have? Shu Han was hard-won, yet he never expected it to collapse so easily, just like that, and be handed over to the other side."
"However, at that time, Shu Han was already at its last gasp, and in addition to Liu Shan and his ministers, there were also common people in the city."
"Therefore, Deng Ai entered Chengdu, pacified the surrendered people, and refrained from looting. He quickly gained the support of the people of Shu Han, and at this time, Shu Han was not yet completely destroyed."
"After all, the final blow to Shu Han did not come from Liu Shan, the last emperor, but from General Jiang Wei."
Liu Bei: ??? Starting a business is tough! Wealth doesn't last two generations!!!
……
Meanwhile, in the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei found it unbelievable: after decades of building his business, had he been working for nothing?
He used to be just a straw sandal seller, but he fought many battles and suffered repeated defeats in his efforts to restore the Han Dynasty.
In the end, decades of hard work and the ideals in his heart turned into nothingness.
At this moment, Liu Bei was somewhat stunned. Had Shu Han simply vanished like this?!
People from other timelines also felt a deep sense of melancholy. The Three Kingdoms period, which had lasted only a few decades, had seen the states of Shu and Wei almost completely change their names and identities!
As a result, people in front of the screen sighed repeatedly, lamenting the impermanence of life.
