Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2596 The End: A Rope, the Great Han Dynasty Comes to an End
From any perspective, Ma Zhong is now just an unknown figure.

As for Guan Yu, to say that his fame shook the world would be to underestimate him.

Among those who were granted the title of king outside their own surname, he was the only one in the entire Central Plains, apart from the feudal lords.

As early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, when he first began to make his way in the world, he had already established his reputation.

Nowadays, let alone in the Central Plains, even in the grasslands or the Tang Dynasty, who hasn't heard of Guan Yu's name?

Furthermore, with contact with the Kushan Empire and West Asia, the names of a small number of people from the Central Plains have already spread there, though not in such detail; they are mostly spread by merchants in the form of storybooks.

Therefore, the effect of this skill was surprisingly strong in countering Guan Yu.

Therefore, Guan Yu's death cannot be entirely attributed to his inadequate archery defense.

At the very least, the factors influencing the effectiveness of this skill should not be underestimated.

"Ding! Ma Zhong's Famous Kill Skill Effect 3 activated. For each famous general successfully killed (within a certain range of the difference in fame between himself and the opponent), he will receive a random permanent boost. Ma Zhong's martial prowess permanently +1..."

The truly powerful skill effect in Famous Kill lies in this final skill effect.

After all, in a sense, this skill effect can be activated indefinitely.

In other words, there is a certain possibility that Ma Zhong could use this skill effect to max out all his attributes.

Of course, this is only a theoretical effect.

Even if he is just an unknown nobody now, will he still be an unknown nobody after he kills a few famous generals?
Just like Ma Zhong now, thanks to his great achievement of killing Guan Yu, no matter what means he used to kill Guan Yu, from this day forward, he will never be just an unknown nobody.

To activate Ma Zhong's skill, one must kill a famous general whose reputation exceeds a certain range.

Therefore, this skill effect might be easy to achieve at the beginning.

However, as his fame grew, the range of choices available to him became smaller and smaller.

Therefore, although the effect of this skill is theoretically limitless, that's exactly how it works in practice.

As for Huang Pao, his luck wasn't as tragic as Guan Yu's, who fell at the hands of an unknown soldier and became his stepping stone.

He fell to Jin Tai's spear in a direct confrontation.

Even without the boost from combo skills, Huangpao's raw strength is still no less than Jintai's, and may even be slightly superior.

After all, Jin Tai's greatest strength lay in his fists. But this was a battlefield; he couldn't very well engage in a fistfight with his opponent, could he?

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Jin Tai's chances of winning are not entirely slim, but they are certainly not high, at least 30/70.

However, with the arrival of generals such as Kong Xuan and Luo Xuan, the situation changed drastically.

After Kong Xuan and Luo Xuan arrived, they did not intervene rashly.

Although Huang Pao was strong, the two of them were at least no weaker than him. Now that the situation was largely settled, there was no need to gang up on him. Therefore, they were merely there to provide cover for Jin Tai.

After all, Jin Tai's strength was already considerable, and with the two of them watching over him, there was no fear that Jin Tai would be in any danger!
Even though these two experts didn't make a move, just standing there, they still put tremendous pressure on the man in yellow robes.

Even if these two don't make a move, and just stand by, shouldn't the emperor be on guard against them?

Even if those two had said they wouldn't take action after they arrived, would the man in yellow robes have believed them?
Isn't this tantamount to handing over control of one's own life to someone else?

Therefore, even if these two experts of the Xuan generation do not make a move, the pressure they exert on Huang Pao is still enormous, forcing him to devote half of his attention to guarding against them.

It was precisely because of this that the situation in their fight completely reversed.

Even when Huang Pao was preoccupied with guarding against these two men and his mind was momentarily distracted, Jin Tai seized the opportunity and successfully stabbed the man off his horse with a single spear thrust, killing this fierce and invincible general.

When masters clash, the outcome can indeed be decided in a mere instant.

From then on, apart from a few like Wei Yan who managed to break through, most of the Qing-Han generals who participated in this battle, including Emperor Liu Bei of Qing-Han, perished in the battle.

The nominal capital of Qinghan had already been captured by Lian Po.

Now, Liu Bei, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, has also fallen in this battle.

Therefore, after this battle, although Qinghan still had some remaining forces, it was essentially wiped out.

In the two weeks following this battle, Xue Rengui successively seized control of the last few counties under Liu Bei's command.

Today, the last military force of Qinghan is the Qinghan Navy at the Qingzhou ferry crossing.

However, to Xue Rengui's and his men's surprise, the last group of Qinghan's ministers, including Liu Bei's son Liu Shan, did not flee to the ferry to join the Qinghan navy, but instead waited for the outcome of Liu Bei's final battle.

When the outcome of his final battle was already decided, Liu Shan, who was left behind in the rear, had already hanged himself.

Whether Liu Shan's actions were voluntary or forced, no one can know for sure now.

However, at least in the eyes of the people, Liu Shan, the crown prince of Qing Han and the second ruler of Qing Han, chose to end his life by sacrificing himself for his country, which did not bring shame to Liu Bei or the Han Dynasty.

Apart from a few individuals such as Da Hong, She Long, and Ban Zhao, as well as two of Liu Bei's grandsons, who have temporarily disappeared without a trace.

The last group of loyalists of the Qing Dynasty, led by Jian Yong, Ji Zun, Feng Hou, Liu Yong, Fa Zheng, Huo Guang, and Liu Ye, also chose to bid farewell to the world by sacrificing themselves for their country.

As for Xue Rengui, Zhang Liang, and the others, when they saw the row of corpses after the city fell, Zhang Liang, in particular, couldn't help but curl his lip in disgust.

If Liu Bei's two grandsons were able to leave, then Jian Yong, Ji Zun, Feng Hou, and others would naturally also have time to leave.

Whether you'll be caught and brought back after you leave is one thing, but whether you can leave at all is another.

But these people did not leave. There are indeed people in Qinghan who understand people's hearts.
