Chapter 36 If Liu Chan and Zhao Gou were swapped...

——I cried after reading this. The only difference between Xin Qiji and Huo Qubing is Emperor Wu of Han.

——The entire Southern Song Dynasty court could not support a soul with backbone

——Did the Song Dynasty ever lack money? The emperor was spineless and the civil officials were courageous. Did the Song Dynasty lack military generals? Di Qing, Yue Fei, Xin Qiji, who was not a hero? The officials in the court were as timid as mice and cowered like turtles. It was really annoying!
——This is what it means to be a man who can bring peace to the world with his writing and to be a man who can decide the outcome of a war on horseback, but unfortunately his fate is unfortunate and he was born at the wrong time.

……

Looking at these comments, many people felt deeply moved.

"Taking the head of the enemy from among thousands of troops was thought to be the starting point of being a hero, but I didn't expect it to be the pinnacle of being a hero." Guan Yu shook his head and sighed.

“The older you get, the more you understand the sadness.”

It is indeed a pity for many people that it is difficult for heroes to meet wise leaders.

Liu Bei couldn't help but think of the information about himself in the first video.

[In 223 AD, Liu Bei died of illness in Baidi City at the age of .]

[In 234 AD, Zhuge Liang died at Wuzhangyuan during his fifth northern expedition at the age of .]

He couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang standing beside him: "I guess Kong Ming will also feel helpless after we die."

It’s a pity that Tianmu only gave a brief introduction here, so we can’t know what exactly happened.

Otherwise, if you prepare yourself early, perhaps there will be fewer regrets in this world.

"The horse is so fast, the Di Lu here, could it be referring to Big Brother's horse?"

I was amazed by Zhang Fei's poem after discovering its highlights.

If the eldest brother’s horses are so famous, doesn’t that mean that he, Lao Zhang, is also famous?

……

Another time and space.

The Three Kingdoms period.

Zhuge Liang was also attracted by Xin Qiji's strategy of breaking the formation.

[I look at my sword under the lamp while drunk, and dream of blowing the horn in the camp. Eight hundred miles of roast meat for my subordinates, fifty strings of music from the frontier. The soldiers are called up in the autumn battlefield. The horses are as fast as Lu, and the bows are as loud as thunder. I have done the king's work and won a good reputation in my lifetime and after my death. What a pity! 】

[I have a lot of passion in my heart, but I can only command troops and kill enemies in my dreams.

Even if I had to be like Zhuge Liang, who spent half his life fighting for the Northern Expedition and had all his efforts come to nothing, I would still be willing to do so.

Even if I can't do anything about it, I still want a chance to give it my all.

But for thirty years, it has never appeared. 】

Zhuge Liang stared at the sky in a daze.

Yes.

Even though I failed, am I not lucky?
If you meet a wise ruler, you can give full play to your talents.

Compared with Yue Fei and Xin Qiji, I am so lucky to be able to fight for a common ideal with like-minded generals.

After the death of the first lord, he devoted himself to assisting the second lord Liu Chan.

Although the emperor lacked talent, he was willing to trust himself completely.

There was not so much suspicion between the monarch and his ministers, and they always supported his Northern Expedition.

Such a monarch is more than ten times stronger than Zhao Gou of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but wonder, if he met a king like Zhao Gou, he would probably retire in anger?

Putting himself in the shoes of Yue Fei and Xin Qiji, Zhuge Liang felt that Liu Chan, who was criticized by later generations, became particularly lovable.

Yue Fei and Xin Qiji were both very capable, but they ended up meeting a monarch like Zhao Gou, where they had no place to display their talents and were even suspected by others.

Look at the emperor again.

Compared with this, how could the Later Lord be as bad as they say?

Compared to Zhao Gou, he is simply a wise leader!
The veteran Zhao Yun standing next to him was also extremely depressed.

He had great sympathy for Xin Qiji.

Their ambition to march north and recover the country was very similar to their ideal of supporting the Han Dynasty.

The results of it?
If you meet a monarch who doesn't know what's good for you, your ambitions will never be fulfilled.

There is also Zhao Gou, who unjustly killed Yue Fei and promoted treacherous ministers.

Compared this way, Zhao Gou is not even a little bit inferior to our nephew!
If our Adou had become the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, he would surely have been able to get along with Yue Fei and his ministers and restore the Han people's country.

……

Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun were thinking this when an invisible hand opened the comment section above the sky.

The one with the highest number of likes is——

[It would have been nice if Liu Chan was the emperor at the time of Yue Fei and Xin Qiji. ]

100,000 people liked this comment.

Many people left messages.

——I guess Yue Fei would wake up laughing in his dreams.

——Besides, influenced by Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan would definitely carry out the Northern Expedition to the end, because the words Northern Expedition were already engraved in Liu Chan's genes. (crying with his hands covering his face)
——Although Liu Chan didn't understand military affairs, he knew how to delegate power, just like his father. Yue Fei no longer had to worry about backstabbing when he went north, and the emperor was not stupid. With such a good economy and population in the Southern Song Dynasty, it would be really stupid if he didn't go north. (dog head)

——The Southern Song Dynasty was so wealthy, a land of fish and rice, with more money than could be spent. But in the end, they met Zhao Gou, who wanted to worship the Jin people as his father. Damn it!

——If it was really Liu Chan, Yue Fei would be able to fight all the way to Europe. (dog head)

——Although but...don’t forget, there is no Yue Fei in the "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital"!

——I saw a comment that if Yue Fei was under Emperor Taizong of Tang, Emperor Taizong would have issued twelve golden medals in a row to urge Yue Fei to catch up. It made me laugh to death.

——Did Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty still issue gold medals? Li Er would probably say: Yue Aiqing, watch carefully, this is how the Jin people fight, I will only show you once!
——Liu Chan used twelve golden medals to force Yue Fei to return and to appoint Yue Fei as his father-in-law, and then he felt relieved to let Yue Fei go north. (狗头)

——Liu Chan: What do you call me? At least you should call me Emperor Guangwu of Song, right?

——Compared with this, Zhao Gou was really incompetent, and he wasted the Southern Song Dynasty’s good population and economy.

You have to know that there were fifteen states in the world at that time, Wei State occupied twelve of them, and Liu Chan never gave up even Yizhou! Even so, he insisted on the Northern Expedition! After Zhuge Liang's death, Shu Han held on for twenty-nine years!
The original topic was about Liu Chan and Zhao Gou, but the comments became increasingly biased.

……

Three Kingdoms period.

Zhuge Liang burst out laughing.

It's quite interesting to put yourself in their shoes.

The general evaluation of Liu Chan in later generations is that he is a hopeless person, extremely licentious, lazy, and has no ambition. But his own family knows his own business, and in fact he is not that bad.

Liu Chan was Liu Bei's eldest son, and Liu Bei attached great importance to him. Liu Chan was influenced by his father and possessed a characteristic that was highly recognized by everyone - benevolence.

Zhuge Liang once praised Liu Chan: He has great knowledge and his improvements exceed expectations.

It means that he is very knowledgeable and well-read, and has a broad mind.

Besides, if one could use the soldiers of one state to resist the whole of nine states and hold out for twenty-nine years just by relying on the memorial to the emperor, how could he be an incompetent?
If he were really stupid, Shu Han would have perished long ago.

……

In the Shu Han Imperial Palace.

Liu Chan looked at the barrage and laughed foolishly.

It turns out that I am not completely useless!

But Tianmu was right.

If he really became the emperor of Southern Song Dynasty.

He would definitely support Yue Fei, Xin Qiji and others in their Northern Expedition.

Because his father had taught him long ago that with powerful enemies outside, he must not live in peace in a corner, otherwise the country would perish sooner or later.

So he must be a staunch supporter of the Northern Expedition!
……

"After the Prime Minister, will the Han Dynasty perish in twenty-nine years?"

Prime Minister's House.

Jiang Wei felt very uncomfortable when he saw this comment.

The Prime Minister devoted his entire life to this, but still failed to save the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang looked at Jiang Wei's sad expression and patted his shoulder lovingly.

"Boyue, don't blame yourself. You and I have done our best."

I really tried my best.

Zhuge Liang said silently in his heart.

After all, there are things that I couldn't do.
How could Jiang Wei and the emperor alone accomplish this?
This is because the gap in national strength between the two sides is too big.

It is too difficult for a state to shake the northern half of the country...
