Chapter 418: 3 Kingdoms: Liu Adou is a bad kid
Chapter 418: 3 Kingdoms: Liu Adou is a bad kid
In the winter of 262 AD, Jiang Wei launched his ninth expedition to the Central Plains. This time, Jiang Wei planned to take Taoyang first, store food and grass there, and link up with the Qiang people. However, his plan was discovered by Deng Ai, and Xiahou Ba died in Taoyang City.
While Jiang Wei and Deng Ai were fighting in Taoyang, he secretly sent Zhang Yi back to attack the Jiuzhai in Qishan. The Shu and Wei armies fought in a melee, and in the end, the Wei army was defeated and Deng Ai was also injured.
However, just as Jiang Wei was about to lead his troops to recapture the Nine Villages of Qishan, the last emperor Liu Chan sent an imperial edict.
"I think that the nine expeditions to the Central Plains have been exhausting and protracted, and the people are complaining. I now order the general to immediately return to Hanzhong, reorganize the troops, and fight again."
All the soldiers were at a loss, and looked unwilling. Many even wanted to disobey the king's order... Jiang Wei was moved, drew his sword, and prepared to order the troops to go out, but another envoy arrived to deliver the imperial edict.
Zhang Yi advised: "General, you have carried out the will of Marquis Wu and have done difficult things by force. You have invaded the Central Plains nine times, which has been criticized by many people in the court and the public. Now that Deng Ai has been trapped in Qishan, victory is in the balance. If you withdraw your troops now, wouldn't Marquis Wu's will be in vain?"
Jiang Wei sighed helplessly: "The matter is over, how can we force it? Without a leader behind us, what can we do even if we capture the nine fortresses in Qishan? ... Withdraw!"
Jiang Wei, dressed in plain clothes, stroked the horse's head with his hand, and walked slowly out of the camp with the horse.
<Finally, two Wei surrendered generals went through fire and water for the sake of Ji Han.>
<Isn’t Jiang Wei’s approach exactly the same as Wei Yan’s original thinking?>
<It feels like nobody really cares about the Han Dynasty at this point.>
<The only strategy for Shu Han to survive is to use offense as defense.>
<If Shu Kingdom did not launch a northern expedition, what difference would it make with Liu Zhang in Yizhou?>
<It was not that Jiang Wei lost to Deng Ai, but that Shu lost to Wei in terms of national strength and people's power.>
<Ma Mengqi's Half Moon Formation! Hey, it just so happens that we are fighting in Ma Chao's hometown in the northwest. Alas, if Jingzhou had not been lost... Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu had not died... According to the Prime Minister's Longzhong Plan, we would definitely be able to succeed in the Northern Expedition and restore the Han Dynasty! >
<The Yizhou faction of Shu Kingdom has no intention of the Northern Expedition. They just want to stay here. What Northern Expedition? Restoring the Han Dynasty has nothing to do with them. They only care about their own interests.>
<The local forces of Shu Han had no intention of the Northern Expedition, which was why Wu Hou and Jiang Wei had to monopolize power>
<Alas, how did Bo Yue end up with such a crappy emperor like Liu Chan!
<When I see Bo Yue, I feel sad for how he could have such a lord.>
<Damn, a backstab from Liu Chan, Liu Chan's skill: dragging his feet! Damn, he was praising Adou before, saying that he supported the Northern Expedition...>
<A stab in the back from Liu Chan, hahahaha, all my praises to you were in vain! >
<It’s too bad. Every time I’m about to win, I’m called back. It’s so annoying. No wonder people call me “a hopeless person”! >
<If Wei Yan were still alive, he would tear up this damn imperial edict! >
<Southern Song Dynasty: I am familiar with this~ Three imperial edicts = twelve golden medals, Jiang Wei = Yue Fei [dog head]>
<I finally understand why it is said that if you have a son, you should have one like Sun Zhongmou [covering face]. Compared to Adou, he is better, at least he will not be a drag! (Except for personally leading the troops to attack Hefei)>
<No one is behind me… This is so heartbreaking, so helpless. [Sigh]>
[Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of Han: Liu Chan!!!]
[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: Don’t mention the shameful thing of the Southern Song Dynasty.]
[Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty Zhu Houzhao: So that's what I said. Previously, there was something in the light curtain saying that if Liu Chan was reincarnated into the body of Zhao Gou of Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei's ending would be different... Well... I don't believe it. Liu Adou's nature will not change. He will be recalled if he needs to be.]
[Sun Ce, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Tsk, comparing my brother to Liu Chan, my brother has a huge chance of winning.]
[Sun Quan, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: That's right! Fighting on the front line is the job of the generals, just leave it to them. This is the third time that Liu Adou has recalled a general before the battle. The first time was Zhuge Liang, and the next two times were Jiang Wei.]
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: @Emperor Liu Bei of Han Zhaolie This child needs to be educated well, he is not very good.]
[Wei Yan, the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: Stop spreading rumors! I will not tear up the imperial edict!]
……
Eastern Han Dynasty, the sixth year of Jian'an
"Hahaha, Liu Xuande has a lot of worries now." Cao Cao was quite gloating.
They all knew about the troubles of the Southern Song Dynasty. Before the screen played the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they knew that Liu Chan surrendered without a fight in the end, and he was not as brave as his son. He even said the classic words "I am happy here, I don't miss Shu".
Cao Cao couldn't help but feel sorry for Liu Bei, "Liu Xuande is such a good person, a hero. It is said that a good father will not have a good son. What a pity..."
Just after expressing pity for Liu Bei for not having a good son, Cao Cao's face turned stiff when he glanced at his own son.
Well... the most pitiful ones should be the Cao family.
The fruits were usurped by Sima family!
That was all Cao Cao's hard work, but the final result of decades of conquest was stolen by Sima family. How hateful! His Cao family is really pitiful!
"Be careful when making friends!" Cao Cao advised.
Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Yes."
Sun Ce said he is very happy now!
Because the trend of comments on the light screen is to curse Liu Chan, the Eastern Wu has been cursed as a rat and a dog for many years.
Now you know how good Zhongmou is compared to those second-generations.
"Zhongmou is so good. He was brave enough to fight against Cao Cao at the Battle of Red Cliff! He was able to support Gongjin in the court."
"Lu Xun will lead the troops later and will be able to support him."
Sun Quan suddenly felt that it was really good to have a comparison character, as he finally knew his good points.
……
The Second Year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty
"Oh, do you really want to be brothers with Wanyan Cheng of the Southern Song Dynasty?"
"No wonder the light curtain made such an assumption before. We thought you were so capable that you would be stronger than Wanyan Gou. Humph! It seems that you are no different from Wanyan Gou who killed his meritorious officials and destroyed his own Great Wall?!"
Zhang Fei was angry, "You should be thankful that you are in my military camp now. If I were here, I would probably throw you down again!"
"Oh, Guangmu is so right. How come Ah Dou didn't fall to death when he was in that state?"
"It was all in vain..."
The first time someone said these words to him in person, Liu Chan burst into tears.
He felt guilty and knelt on the ground, saying to Jiang Wei: "Bo Yue, I am sorry for you. I am not the Liu Adou above. I am not... I will not be!"
"Your Highness! How did it come to this!" Jiang Wei hurried to help the man. He looked up at Zhang Fei, who glanced to the other side with a bad expression.
"I, I swear, I will not do anything bad! I will always keep the Han Dynasty in my heart!"
Jiang Wei was silent for a while. He was not like the man with the same name on the screen who always frowned and had a sad face. He was very confident about the future of the Han Dynasty and his own future.
Restore the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital.
……
[In Chengdu, Liu Chan and his concubines were living a life of drunkenness and debauchery. Liu Chan was quite impatient with Jiang Wei's repeated requests for an audience.
"I am not attending the court, why summon you?"
Jiang Wei had no choice but to leave the palace. Liu Chan did not attend court for several days.
Secretary Lang Xi Zhengdao said that the emperor had not attended court for ten days. Jiang Wei asked him why the emperor had issued three imperial decrees and returned to court, but was now unwilling to summon him.
Xi Zheng: "Eunuch Huang Hao wanted to have Right General Yan Yu perform meritorious deeds on the battlefield and replace the position of the general, so he reported to the emperor and issued an edict to withdraw the general. Later, he heard that Deng Ai was good at commanding troops, so Yan Yu did not dare to accept the order, so he gave up."
Jiang Wei made up his mind: "I will kill this eunuch."
Xi Zheng: "General, you are the successor of Marquis Wu. You have a long way to go. How can you act rashly?"
Jiang Wei had no choice but to give up.
Liu Chan was drinking and having fun with his concubines in the harem. Jiang Wei and his generals knelt down and bowed to Liu Chan. Liu Chan coughed and spat into the spittoon, ignoring the kneeling Jiang Wei and other generals.
"…I have heard that Huang Hao is cunning and authoritarian, even more so than the Ten Eunuchs back then. Your Majesty should take Zhang Rang and others as a warning and get rid of him as soon as possible…"
Liu Chan was not happy: "Huang Hao is just a small official under my command. Even if he has absolute power, what can he do? Why do you care?"
"If your majesty does not kill Huang Hao today, disaster will befall you."
Liu Chan helped Jiang Wei up and said, "If you love someone, you want him to live; if you hate someone, you want him to die. Why can't you tolerate a small eunuch?"
Liu Chan also asked Huang Hao to kowtow and apologize to Jiang Wei.
After Jiang Wei returned home, Xi Zheng bluntly said that a disaster was about to happen.
"If the general is in danger, Shu Han will surely be destroyed. This is really worrying!" He also suggested that Jiang Wei go to Longxi Dazhong to cultivate land and take refuge. 】
<The general was half dead, while the beautiful lady was still singing and dancing.>
<Damn it, Adou, you cured my low blood pressure that I had suffered from for many years! >
<When he was young, he played with crickets. Now that he is old, he is obsessed with women?! He really did everything that the emperors of the late Han Dynasty should and shouldn’t have done!>
<How ironic, this scene changes so fast… so many people sacrificed their lives and shed their blood, but in the end they only end up being happy and unwilling to leave, hahahaha.>
<Zhang Fei: Let me set a fire behind the house and see if he will come to court!>
<Kong Ming met his master but not at the right time, while Bo Yue met his master at the right time but not at the right time…[sigh]>
<I'm sure the emperor's uncle will have a heart attack after reading this. Anyway, I want to flip the table over!>
<Wei Yan should have joined Jiang Wei in the Northern Expedition. Together they would have succeeded because Wei Yan would not have cared about unreasonable orders.>
<Liu Chan should go to the front line and let him see what others do for his throne!>
<It seems that Liu Chan looked down on Jiang Wei, probably because Jiang Wei was a surrendered general. Damn, you even spit in front of him, I’m so tuituitui! >
<If you don’t understand why Jiang Wei wanted to go outside to avoid disaster, you can refer to the first few episodes when the Ten Eunuchs wanted to kill He Jin who entered the palace.>
<Even if Jiang Wei didn't leave, he would be sidelined and Shu Han would eventually fall.>
[Zhuge Liang in the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: Eunuch?]
[Emperor Zhaolie of Han Liu Bei: Liu Adou, you don't have to come back. It's very good to stay at the front line. ]
[Zhang Fei: Big brother, this child Adou is not worth having. Make plans early!]
[Zhao Yun, the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: Adou he...]
……
Even Zhao Yun, who had always loved Liu Chan the most, was speechless at this time.
Zhao Yun rode his horse to inspect the soldiers who were training. Looking at them and combining them with what Yide and His Majesty said, Zhao Yun immediately understood.
Could it be that they were putting on a show in front of Ah Dou? !
Wei Yan argued on the screen several times that he would never disobey the king's orders!
Wei Yan sighed, Wei Yan was helpless, Wei Yan was irritable!
Why does he have such a bad temper in Guangmu's eyes? !
