When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 642 Disappointment
Be it Jiang Wei, Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, or even the youngest Huo Yi, none of them quite believed that Liu Chan would be a tyrant or a weak ruler.

They remembered clearly the words "Prime Minister Zhuge's six expeditions to Qishan", and the last sigh of Xing Luo at Wuzhangyuan was even more impressive, as if it happened yesterday.

If His Highness, the Emperor, is a tyrant, how could he possibly support Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition?

Besides, how could Jiang Wei, a general who advocated the Northern Expedition, become the general?
Is this a fake book?!

Just as Jiang Wei, Jiang Wan, Dong Yun and Huo Yi were brainstorming, Zhang Bao opened the novel and began to read aloud, "It is said that the later lord was in Chengdu. He heard that Deng Ai had taken Mianzhu and Zhuge Zhan and his son were dead. He was shocked and urgently summoned civil and military officials to discuss the matter."

Just the opening paragraph alone made Jiang Wei, Jiang Wan, Dong Yun and Huo Yi tremble with fear. What? The emperor? The emperor is His Highness? Wait, are both Zhuge Zhan and his son dead? Who is Zhuge Zhan? Is he the descendant of Prime Minister Zhuge, or a member of Prime Minister Zhuge's clan? Mianzhu? Oh no, isn't this close to Chengdu where His Highness is?

Before they could react, Zhang Bao's subsequent reading gave them a big shock.

Seeing Deng Ai leading his army approaching Chengdu, the country was in danger. The court officials either said, "We have few soldiers and generals, and it is difficult to meet the enemy. It is better to abandon Chengdu and flee to the seven counties in the south. The terrain is rugged and can be defended by ourselves. We can borrow the barbarian soldiers and then recover it." Or I said, "Shu and Wu are allies, and now the situation is urgent, we can surrender to them."

Each sentence is more outrageous and worse than the last.

Who knows that this is not the worst, the worst is yet to come. Guanglu Dafu Qiao Zhouyitong analyzed that "the southern barbarians have been rebelling for a long time and have never been kind to them. If we surrender to them now, we will surely suffer great disaster." and "Being a vassal of Wu is a humiliation; if Wu is swallowed by Wei, being a vassal of Wei again will be another humiliation."

As a result, Qiao Zhou came to the conclusion that "it is better to surrender to Wei."

"Well, well, well, what a capitulator! You bastard, you coward!" Huo Yi was furious and swung his fists, not caring even about the snot flowing into his mouth. He wished he could rush into the Chengdu that Zhang Bao mentioned and give Qiao Zhou two punches.

As the oldest person present, Jiang Wan was pleased and helpless when he saw Huo Yi like this. He was not a person who liked to be in charge of things, nor did he have any desire for power. He just liked to drink on weekdays. He was appointed as the middle son because of Liu Bei's kindness, taking care of these young and wise ministers. It was really troublesome, but he couldn't just ignore it. Alas.

Jiang Wan took out a handkerchief and wiped Huo Yi's nose. "Mr. Huo, where is the handkerchief I gave you?"

Huo Yi's eyes widened in disbelief. "At this critical moment of life and death, you asked me about a handkerchief?!"

Jiang Wan: “.”

Seeing that Huo Yi was about to scream again, Jiang Wan had no choice but to let the calm Dong Yun hold Huo Yi back and comfort him, "Huo Sheren, oh no, it's General Huo, we are waiting for the future General Huo, can you listen to what the young lord has to say first? What if the emperor mentioned by the young lord changes his mind? What if some wise ministers and generals come forward? I heard that the prefect Huo and the governor Huo said that a general should be calm and steady."

Huo Yi immediately calmed down and nodded vigorously, "You are right!"

Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief after comforting Huo Yi. However, he couldn't hold it in anymore after hearing what happened next.

Bad news: The emperor did not change his mind.

Good news: Someone stood up and rebuked Qiao Zhou.

only.
Zhang Bao read aloud: "'How dare a cowardly scholar who loves life and fears death to discuss state affairs?! Has there ever been an emperor who surrendered?' The emperor looked over and saw that the person coming was none other than Liu Chen, the fifth son and the King of Beidi. The emperor said to Chen: 'Now all the officials say they should surrender, but you are the only one who relies on your courage. Do you want to reduce my Chengdu to ashes?'"

After hearing this, Jiang Wan, Jiang Wei, Dong Yun and Huo Yi all understood. No wonder Guan Xing was so angry. His Highness was going to surrender.

But Your Highness is doing this for the people of Chengdu.
Jiang Wei's frown relaxed, Jiang Wan and Dong Yun sighed in their hearts, and reluctantly accepted it for the sake of the people.
However, the words of Liu Chen in the novel rang in their ears like thunder. "'Father, when the late emperor was in power, Qiao Zhou never participated in state affairs. Now he is making irresponsible remarks on important matters, which is unreasonable. There are still tens of thousands of soldiers in Chengdu, and Jiang Wei's entire army is in Jiange. If they knew that the Wei army was invading the palace, they would definitely come to rescue, and attack from both inside and outside, and they could win a great victory. How can you believe the words of a corrupt scholar and abandon the foundation of the late emperor!'"

Jiang Wei, Jiang Wan and Dong Yun fell into deathly silence.

There are still tens of thousands of soldiers in Chengdu? You must know that when attacking a city, ten of them are surrounded. Even if Deng Ai has an army of 100,000, he can resist one or two, right?

Jiang Wei in Jiange.
Attacked from both inside and outside
Maybe there is a possibility of repelling the enemy.
The Later Lord would not really surrender.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wei, Jiang Wan and Dong Yun all swallowed their saliva, and even the look in their eyes when they looked at Liu Chan became strange.

The worried thing still happened. In the novel, the emperor broke down and cursed Liu Chen. Facing the emperor's rebuke, Liu Chen would rather die than surrender and wanted to leave the city to fight to the death. He persuaded the emperor that even if the game was hopeless, he should fight to the death with his country.

Eventually Liu Chen was pushed out of the palace, and Zhang Shao left the city to present a letter of surrender.

What made Jiang Wei, Jiang Wan and Dong Yun sigh was that when Liu Chen learned that the situation was hopeless, he came to Zhaolie Temple with grief and indignation, fell to the ground and cried, then drew his sword and committed suicide.

Silence, a long silence.

Jiang Wei sighed from the bottom of his heart: "The king and his subjects are willing to bow down, but I am the only one who is sad. I have left Xichuan. What a great King of the North! What a great King of the North."

No wonder. No wonder Guan Xing was so angry.

How can we not feel angry and regretful about the emperor in the story?

Even though Jiang Wan was also moved by what Zhang Bao said, he still defended Liu Chan, "My young lord, this is just a book. The stories recorded in it are indeed moving, but you can't say that the emperor is His Highness and that everything must be told."

Before he could even utter the word "evidence", Liu Chan collapsed to the ground in despair. He held his head and said in pain, "It's true. What big brother said is true. I heard that they mentioned this book in the fairyland. People in the fairyland also said that the emperor surrendered. It was my fault. It's all my fault."

Jiang Wan was dumbfounded. No, Your Highness, I am trying to excuse you. How could you be the first to surrender? Even if you did, you don’t have to say it!
Now that I have admitted it, there is nothing I can do to refute it.

Everyone looked at Liu Chan with complicated expressions. It was definitely not the case that they hated Liu Chan. Some people were just disappointed that Liu Chan could not stand up at the critical moment. Especially with Liu Chen as a contrast.

"Ugh."

Liu Chan heard sighs, but no punches fell on him.

But when he looked up, he saw disappointed eyes. At this moment, Liu Chan felt that the wind he inhaled into his lungs became heavy, and his heart ached terribly. It was more painful than being hit by a fist, and it hurt so much that he was sweating even when he breathed.

But his mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to say.

The next moment, a loud voice sounded, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have invited the Grand Tutor and Junior Tutor."

Fei Yi, who was leading Yi Ji and Sun Qian, was stunned when he saw the situation. Huh? What happened? Am I late?
