Chapter 40: Guan Yu wants to adopt Qilin'er as his adopted son, the tragic figure Guanjun Hou
The Shu Han rulers and their ministers watched this scene in silence.

It was not until a long time had passed that Liu Bei burst into tears: "How could my son Liu Chan deserve to have Jiang Wei's son serve him? I am really ashamed."

Guan Yu looked at the words 'My plan failed, it was destiny' and said with emotion: "Although this man is the son of a Wei general and has never seen us, he is willing to die for his country. He is really a brave man."

After that, Guan Yu said, "Brother, military advisor, I think Jiang Wei has the talent to be a general. When we find this boy, I will teach him martial arts in person, and then the military advisor will teach him the art of war. With time, he will definitely be a general."

Zhang Fei scratched his head and clasped his fists, saying, "Me too!"

"That's a good feeling."

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, "It couldn't be better to have two generals to teach this boy!"

Liu Bei certainly would not object to such a good thing, and said with a smile: "Second brother, since you like this Qilin child so much, I think you might as well adopt him as your adopted son!"

Liu Bei remembered the words on the sky curtain: 'Eleven northern expeditions to the Central Plains to repay the kindness of being recognized, but there is no one behind him', and he felt sorry for Jiang Wei.

It is conceivable that after the death of the military advisor, a general who surrendered without any basis would be ostracized and suppressed.

Liu Bei, who had lived under other people's roof for the first half of his life, understood the pain too well.

Fortunately, the Tianshui Qilin is still young, and he and his two brothers are still alive.

There is still time to help this future national leader lay a solid foundation.

Zhuge Liang immediately understood Liu Bei's intention and couldn't help but smile and said, "That's great!"

Guan Yu said: "It's all up to you, big brother!"

"Before he died, he was still thinking about restoring the Han Dynasty. Such a person must not fall into the hands of Cao Wei. But this Zener..."

Liu Bei looked around and angrily asked, "Where is Chan'er?"

"This……"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei noticed that Zhao Yun had disappeared, and they immediately understood what was going on. They stopped Liu Bei and said, "Maybe he knows he made a mistake and is going to study on his own.

"Brother, Chan'er is still young. If there is anything, we uncles will teach him slowly. There is no need to get angry with a child."

Liu Bei snorted coldly: "I am not angry about the loss of my country. It is not easy to stop the brutal army of Cao Wei for decades with the land of Yizhou. It is my fault that I failed to leave enough foundation. The fault is mine, not his."

"I am angry because as a ruler of a country, you did not fulfill your responsibilities as a ruler, you appointed treacherous ministers, you were afraid of death, and you failed heroes like Jiang Wei who died for the country!"

As a minister, he fought desperately and was still thinking about restoring the Han Dynasty until the moment of his death.

But as an emperor, he was the first to surrender. How could these soldiers who fought for their country feel?

Liu Bei felt sorry for Jiang Wei!
Guan and Zhang remained silent.

They both felt equally bad.

Although the two of them kept saying that Liu Chan was still young and needed to be taught.

But to be honest, they also felt that Liu Chan did not devote himself to the country and was very sorry to many people.

Surrendering to Cao Wei is tantamount to acknowledging the legitimacy of Cao's usurpation of Han.

This is not only an insult to the eldest brother's life ambition, but also an insult to the life careers of the three of them!

What are these people running around for all their lives?
Isn't it just to support the Han Dynasty and serve the country?
Liu Chan's surrender was equivalent to wasting many people's lifelong hard work!

That's why Liu Bei had been crying and asking why Liu Chan didn't die in Xu State.

This is what’s worrying him!
……

"Although Jiang Wei's talent is not as good as Zhuge Liang's, he was able to defend the Shu Han state for decades, and before his death he was still planning to restore the Han Dynasty. He is truly a talented person."

Xuchang.

Cao Cao praised.

At the same time, I couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Why was the relationship between the ruler and his subjects in Shu Han so harmonious, but what about our side?

Brothers turned against each other, the emperor and his subjects fought each other, and ministers rebelled, especially Sima Yi!
He treated him well and even let him be Chong'er's teacher.

What about him?

He was disloyal and unloyal to the king, and usurped the Cao family's kingdom!
Besides.

Zhong Hui and Deng Ai both had rebellious intentions and eventually died in conspiracies and intrigues!
Are the people of the world really not on Cao Cao's side?

Why can’t there be more loyal and righteous people like Jiang Wei for Cao Cao!
Why couldn't Sima Yi be as loyal to his emperor as Zhuge Liang!

"Pass on my order. Send someone to Tianshui immediately and bring Jiang Wei to see me!"

"And Sima Yi's family, drag them to the downtown area and behead them!"

After suffering a critical blow, Cao Cao decided to kill Sima Yi's family with iron-blooded means to comfort the pain in his heart!
……

Koto.

Sun Quan looked at the sentence 'some people traveled thousands of miles to pay a visit to the Prime Minister, some people traveled across mountains and rivers to visit Jiang Boyao, and some people took the trouble to release Zhang Liao in front of Sun Quan's tomb' and couldn't help but question mark.

Isn’t Zhang Liao a general of Wei?
Why put a Wei general in front of your own tomb?
Is this some kind of novel way of paying homage in later generations?
Strange, strange.

……

Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu period.

"Countries often perish because of their weakness, but Han alone perished because of its strength"

Liu Bang shook his head and sighed when he saw the final demise of Shu Han.

"This is because Heaven has not blessed the Han Dynasty, not because Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei are not talented enough."

"My Han dynasty has run out of luck. Jiang Wei is neither a Han minister nor a clan member. He has done this to support the Han dynasty, and he deserves respect."

After saying that, he staggered and slowly stood up.

He looked at the ministers below and raised his wine glass high.

"I propose that we all raise a toast to that future hero, to Jiang Wei!"

All the ministers sat up straight.

"Cheers to Jiang Wei!"

"Cheers to Zhuge Liang!"

"Cheers to Liu Xuande!"

"Respect the four hundred years of foundation of the Han Dynasty!"

"Cheers to the world!"

"Salute to the iron-blooded descendants of the future generations!"

……

During the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.

Liu Che also sighed and said, "What a pity."

"First there was Liu Xiu, then there was Liu Bei. Our Han dynasty is not without successors. If Liu Bei can really support the Han dynasty, our Han dynasty will surely become the orthodox dynasty in the hearts of the people of the world!"

The Emperor is the Son of God.

First there was Liu Xiu, then there was Liu Bei.

If the Han Dynasty could really be revived in Liu Bei's hands.

Then everyone will find that no matter how turbulent the world is, the throne will return to the Liu family, and the sacred status of the Han Dynasty will be irreplaceable.

Perhaps the Han Dynasty can achieve this goal of lasting eternity.

No matter what happens in the world in the future, the person sitting on the dragon throne will always be named Liu.

In the future, the Jin Dynasty of the Sima family would not have appeared, tragedies like the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China would not have happened again, and there would have been less suffering in the thick history books.

But it's a pity.

Despite the successive generations of talented people, the Han Dynasty was ultimately unable to regain its former glory.

……

Datang.

Li Shimin showed an admiring look.

"The population of Shu is less than one million, and the number of soldiers in armor is no more than 100,000. With such a small population, they have repeatedly insisted on the Northern Expedition. You can imagine how difficult it was and how much resistance they encountered."

"But in order to fulfill Zhuge Wuhou's will, Jiang Wei withstood all the pressure and led his army to the north eleven times. Even when Liu Chan surrendered, he still did not give up." "He first pretended to surrender, and then joined forces with Zhong Hui and Deng Ai to rebel. Even when the situation was hopeless, he still wanted to restore the Han Dynasty. Jiang Boyao lived up to Zhuge Wuhou's kindness in his life."

"How great is Jiang Wei, how great is Shu Han, it is really something to be admired."

Li Shimin said emotionally.

"Although he was not frustrated, he was determined to fight the Northern Expedition throughout his life, and finally died for his country, which makes him a worthy tragic figure."

At the moment of his death, Jiang Wei was still planning the restoration of Shu Kingdom, but unfortunately, he failed in the end.

His last plan was also called "one plan to harm three wise men" by later generations.

"If such a person worked for Cao Wei, he might have a different life, but then Jiang Wei would not be Jiang Wei anymore."

Li Shimin regretted that the national strength of Shu was still too weak to allow Jiang Wei to display his talents.

Moreover, Liu Chan was indeed not a very wise monarch. He was far inferior to his father Liu Bei and the two subsequent emperors of Cao Wei.

If I were to become the ruler of Shu Han, could I unify the world?

Influenced by the previous exchange between Liu Chan and Zhao Gou.

Li Shimin couldn't help but daydream.

……

Ming dynasty.

Yongle period.

"Although Jiang Wei was a general of Wei, he was loyal and devoted. His loyalty and filial piety could not be compared with Zhong Hui and Deng Ai."

Zhu Di lamented, "What a pity. Due to the circumstances, the last plan did not succeed."

On the other side, the Prince's Mansion.

Zhu Gaochi also kept muttering.

"Frequently launching wars and sending out troops year after year is a waste of money and manpower. It is not wise and decisive enough..."

Zhu Pangpang had always been quite resentful about his father's continuous wars. Now, thinking of Chen Shou's evaluation of Jiang Wei in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, he couldn't help but feel the same way.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't bear to hear his father talking like this, and said speechlessly: "Dad, if you have anything to say, go and talk to grandpa, why are you talking nonsense in front of me, your son?"

"Besides, Shu Han only has one state. How can it compete with Cao Wei, which occupies half of the country?"

"If we don't follow the method left by Wu Hou and use offense instead of defense, when Cao Wei is free, Shu will not be able to fight."

Zhu Zhanji retorted.

"You kid, you've learned to talk back." Zhu Gaochi said unhappily, "I once said, 'Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish', it requires caution and meticulousness."

"Shu Han only has one state. How could they wage wars frequently? It was a waste of money and manpower, and there was no effect. This led to their final failure and death. Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"I don't want to argue with you. Jiang Wei's fault was not his. That was the strategy set by Wu Hou. When Shu Han was destroyed, it was because the Shu emperor listened to the treacherous ministers and failed to make preparations in advance. In the end, he was the first to surrender."

Zhu Zhanji retorted: "Even though the situation was hopeless, Jiang Wei still tried hard, pretending to surrender to Zhong Hui. In the end, his plan failed and he died for his country. As a minister, he has done his best!"

Zhu Zhanji was too lazy to argue with his father. This guy only knew how to waste people's time and money. If his grandfather heard this, he would be unhappy again.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this."

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "Compared to these, I am more concerned about what the high-speed rail that Tianmu mentioned is."

"You have to know that Chengdu is nearly 1500 miles away from Chang'an. It would take an ordinary person several months to get there by horseback. But this sky curtain says that it can be reached in just four hours. It's really amazing."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Zhu Zhanji shook his head like a rattle.

"I don't believe there is any horse that can allow people to travel back and forth between Chang'an and Shu Han in one day. Didn't Li Bai also say when he wrote about the difficulty of the Shu Road that the Shu Road is as difficult as climbing to the sky?"

Zhu Zhanji gestured: "That damn place is full of mountains. One man guarding the pass is impossible for ten thousand men to break through. It takes ten days or half a month just to get out of Shu. If the road was not so difficult to travel, it would not have been so difficult for Prime Minister Zhuge to lead the Northern Expedition."

"Not to mention going to Chang'an. It's absolutely impossible to travel back and forth between the two places in four hours!"

"Anyway, I think that either you are mistaken, Dad, or the descendants are talking nonsense, or what they call four hours is actually four months."

Zhu Zhanji didn't believe it at all.

Zhu Gaochi nodded thoughtfully.

Obviously.

He also didn't quite believe it.

……

Jiang Wei's story comes to an end.

The reactions of emperors and ministers in different dynasties varied, but most of them expressed regret for Jiang Wei.

But Jiang Wei is not the only one who has regrettable people and things.

Soon, the picture on the sky changed again.

Another character appears.

【A review of the tragic figures in history. 】

【The fourth one is Huo Qubing. 】

……

"It turned out to be my Great Han God of War?"

When Liu Che saw the title, he was stunned at first, and then a trace of sadness flashed in the corner of his eyes.

Touching the head of the little Huo Qubing beside him, he sighed: "Yes, this kid was the best in history, but he died young at the age of 24..."

As he spoke, a gleam of determination flashed in Liu Che's eyes.

"Since I already know about this, I will definitely not let this tragedy happen!"

"I am now offering a reward to recruit famous doctors from all over the world to the capital, and have them take turns to take care of my Great Han God of War!"

……

"Marquis of Champion Huo Qubing?" Liu Bang couldn't help but look at Lu Zhi when he saw the name.

Since Huo Qubing is a tragic figure, then the Marquis of Huaiyin is not...

……

"Is it Huo Qubing, the god of war who led his army into battle at the age of seventeen and conquered the Wolf's Lair at the age of nineteen?"

Ying Zheng looked at the picture on the sky and was shocked.

"He is truly a god!" Meng Tian couldn't help but sigh.

As a general who guarded the border and defended against the Huns, Meng Tian himself fought against the Huns many times. He knew too well how difficult the Huns were!

So, although Meng Tian was old enough to be the ancestor of Huo Qubing in terms of seniority, he still had respect for this god of war in later generations.

——Other people have already achieved success at the age of 19, but at the age of 19, I was still asking my mom if I could open a box of yogurt brought by a customer. (Laughing and crying)

——The Xiongnu, who were beaten and fled by the Han people, became the overlords in Europe, burning, killing, and looting along the way, and even established their own country. They were called the Scourge of God by Europeans. (crying)
——What is the Whip of God? It means the messenger sent by God to punish them. The Xiongnu, who were defeated by Huo Qubing, could kill people indiscriminately in the Western world. You can imagine how powerful the General of the Cavalry was! (crying)
——If we live 30 more years, we won’t have to learn English. (crying)
——The gods seem to be imagined by ancient people. (crying)
——Let’s put it this way, you went on a 20-year-old expedition to pick cherry blossoms and planted a flag on Mount Fuji. (crying)
——I was so excited watching it, but when I took out my ID card, I saw that the person I beat was my ancestor. (crying)
……

"A genius, but unfortunately he died young."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "I can't help but wonder, if this genius lived a few more decades, what would happen to the world?"

"If my Great Qin had such a general, it would be easy to sweep the Xiongnu outside the territory. Why would I order the construction of the Great Wall?"

"What a pity!"

Datang.

Li Shimin also sighed. "There is only one great general at the age of 19 in the history of China."

"It's a pity that God is jealous of talented people."

On the side, Li Jing also said enviously: "Since the Champion Marquis was conferred the title of Wolf's Lair, all the generals and soldiers in later generations have regarded this as the highest honor."

"But I didn't expect that these Europeans were so vulnerable."

Li Shimin looked at the sky curtain and saw that the Huns, who were beaten and fled in fear by the Han people, could actually kill people indiscriminately in Europe, and his eyes lit up.

Maybe one day, I can really reach the so-called Europe!
