Chapter 477 Liu Bei Declares Himself Emperor
Lin Ke dropped a bomb, not thinking it was anything special.
However, in another timeline, the Eastern Wu region was abuzz with discussion, especially Sun Quan, whose face turned pale and then red.
He never imagined that Eastern Wu would exist for only a few decades before being annexed by Cao Wei.
Later generations were right when they said that compared to his father and brothers, Sun Quan's actions were so disgraceful that he had no face to face them.
Cao Cao, you traitor! You've ruined me!!
Boss Cao: What does this have to do with me, Cao Cao?!
At this moment, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce looked at each other in bewilderment. Their Jiangdong campaign had only just begun, and anyone who knew what would happen next would find it difficult to process!
It seems that Sun Quan's attempts to seize Jingzhou and attack Hefei were completely ineffective; the city was destined to be unified anyway!
Future generations, when they mention Jiangdong, will only think of those despicable people…
Meanwhile, in Shu Han, Liu Bei's eyes welled up with tears, never expecting that Yun Chang would pass away before him!
And in the end, he failed to restore the Han Dynasty. Why is Heaven always so against him?!
It seems that as soon as he achieves some success, he will fall into an even worse situation. But after 24 years of Jian'an, does he still have time?
……
Inside the live stream, the storytelling hadn't stopped:
"Sun Quan's strategy seems to benefit himself, yet it also seems to harm him; in any case, the outcome is already slowly unfolding."
"In the twilight of life, some people skip over it, while others have already stopped."
"After Cao Cao received Guan Yu's head, he buried him with the rites due to a feudal lord. But did this ruthless hero remember the passionate ideals of his youth?"
"Perhaps he forgot, perhaps he was forced to change beyond recognition, but regardless of right or wrong, he has reached the final moment of his life."
"Therefore, in the first month of the 25th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao died of illness in Luoyang at the age of 66."
"In that year, Cao Cao’s eldest son, Cao Pi, usurped the Han throne, changed the name of the Han dynasty to the Wei dynasty, and posthumously honored Cao Cao as Emperor Wu, with the temple name Taizu."
"The Han Dynasty, which lasted for more than four hundred years, finally came to an end. There were powerful eunuchs and ministers, puppet emperors, division and decline, and of course, a period of revival and peak. It seems to have condensed all the scripts of later history."
"Therefore, the overall quality of the emperors of the Han Dynasty surpassed that of the emperors of other dynasties."
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: (°ー°〃) My goodness, a big man!!
An official of the Tang Dynasty: Alas, Cao Cao was also a great hero. May he rest in peace!
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: It's over so quickly...
Cao, the boss (in a fit of rage): ...I can still breathe! ...
"On the other hand, the Shu Han state was in an uproar when they learned that Guan Yu had been killed and Emperor Xian had been deposed!"
"However, during this period, there were rumors that Emperor Xian of Han had been murdered, and quite a few people believed them and even offered condolences."
"But in reality, they lived quite well, their lives were much better than those of the later emperors who abdicated their thrones and lost their kingdoms!"
Li Yu, the deposed ruler of a fallen kingdom: ...
Emperor Qinzong of Song, the last emperor of a fallen dynasty: I refuse to accept this! We're all in the same circle, so why is he doing so well?!
Emperor Shenzong of Song, Zhao Xu: With your face as big as a basin, you cowardly fool, you were captured and taken to the north, and you still have the nerve to ask questions?!
Lin Ke glanced at the comments and was utterly speechless. What was there to compare?!
"At this critical juncture, Liu Bei ascended the throne as emperor on the Bingwu day of the fourth month of the following year. His name was still Han, historically known as Shu Han, and his reign title was Zhangwu."
"After ascending the throne, Liu Bei chose to attack Eastern Wu, and no one could dissuade him."
"Perhaps it's to avenge the fraternal feud between Sun Quan and Liu Bei, or perhaps it's because Sun Quan has defected to Cao Wei. If he were to directly attack Shu Han, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"But then came a series of bad news. Zhang Fei also got into trouble, killed by his deputy generals Fan Qiang and Zhang Da. And the place these two went to was none other than Liu Bei's old enemy—Sun Quan."
"This made Lao Liu even angrier. How could Sun Quan not fight in order to avenge his two younger brothers!"
"History is full of rational yet ruthless emperors. From another person's perspective, everyone understands what the most advantageous choice would have been for Liu Bei at that time."
"Or rather, what kind of mess would Shu Han leave behind after attacking Eastern Wu? Would anyone have imagined that at the time?"
"Regardless of the circumstances, Liu Bei still chose to mobilize the entire nation to attack Eastern Wu."
