Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

And the sky curtain continues at this time.

Slowly and formally introduced the first famous general of the Later Three Kingdoms.

[Deng Ai, courtesy name Shizai, was a native of Jiyang County, Yiyang Prefecture, and was a famous general of the Wei State during the Three Kingdoms period.]

[He lost his father at a young age and his family was poor, but he studied hard and had great ambitions. ]

[In his early years, due to his stuttering, although he was recommended as a military officer, he could only serve as a minor official. Later, he was appreciated by Sima Yi and started his official career. ]

[Deng Ai was extremely gifted in military affairs and had a unique strategic vision. During the Zhengshi period, he proposed large-scale farming and water conservancy projects in the Huainan area, which not only solved the problem of military food but also strengthened the strength of the Wei State.]

[During the long-term confrontation with Shu Han, Deng Ai saw through Jiang Wei's schemes many times and successfully resisted his northern expedition. ]

[Especially in the Battle of Duangu, he anticipated the enemy's advance and defeated Jiang Wei, causing the Shu army to be "scattered and displaced, with many casualties."]

【He fought with Jiang Wei for many years and remained basically undefeated.】

[Although Jiang Wei won less and lost more, most of them were away offensive battles, so Deng Ai and Jiang Wei were not convinced by each other. ]

【Sima Zhao divided his troops into three groups to attack Shu, with Zhong Hui as the commander-in-chief.】

[In order to break the defensive stalemate of Shu Han, Deng Ai boldly proposed to lead a special force through the mountains and hills from the Yinping trail and directly into the heart of Shu Han.]

[Deng Ai led an army of 30,000 from Didao to Dazhong, and took the risk of sneaking across Yinping.]

[He encouraged the soldiers to overcome difficulties and obstacles along the way, dug through the mountains to open roads, built plank roads, overcame many difficulties, successfully bypassed the natural barrier of Jiange, and marched to Jiangyou! ]

[Ma Miao, the garrison commander of Jiangyou, was so frightened when he saw Deng Ai’s divine troops descending from the sky that he opened the gate and surrendered.]

[Deng Ai was able to replenish his troops and supplies, and defeated Zhuge Zhan and his son, allowing him to march straight into Chengdu.]

[He forced Liu Chan to surrender and destroyed Shu Han in one fell swoop, making an unprecedented contribution to Cao Wei.]

……

The picture freezes slightly at this moment.

But then he immediately changed the subject!
[However, after Deng Ai conquered Shu, he became too complacent.]

[The Wei and Shu soldiers who died in the battle of Mianzhu were built together to form a high platform as a Jingguan to show their military achievements.]

[He also proudly said to Liu Chan and other Shu Han rulers and ministers: You are lucky to have met me, so you can enjoy wealth and honor. If you had met someone as ruthless as Wu Han, you would have been killed long ago.]

[He also boasted: Jiang Wei was a hero of his time, but he became poor because of Ai.]

[Your Jiang Wei is very powerful, but he was defeated when he met me, Deng Ai.]

[More importantly, Deng Ai arbitrarily appointed officials to the Shu Han monarchs and ministers in the name of the emperor, and placed his own confidants in important positions in various parts of Yizhou.]

[He also wrote to Sima Zhao without authorization, suggesting that they strike while the iron is hot and continue to attack Wu.]

[They even arranged for Sima Zhao not to send Liu Chan back to Luoyang first, so as not to scare Dongwu.]

[Let Liu Chan stay in Chengdu first and make him the King of Fufeng. ]

[After the Eastern Wu surrendered, Sun Xiu of the Eastern Wu was sent to Dong Zhuo's former residence for resettlement.]

[You should know that at this time, Sima Zhao himself was still just a Duke of Jin! ]

[When the military officer Wei Guan warned Deng Ai that he must report his actions and not act on his own, Deng Ai refuted the old saying, "In the Spring and Autumn Annals, if a senior official goes abroad and can help the country, he can take charge of it." He insisted on his own opinion.]

[He didn't give Sima Zhao any face at all.]

[Deng Ai's arrogance gave Zhong Hui, who was also the main general in the attack on Shu, an opportunity to seize.]

[Zhong Hui was an ambitious man to begin with. Seeing that Deng Ai's achievements surpassed his own, he was filled with jealousy.]

[After Jiang Wei surrendered, he continued to persuade Zhong Hui to rebel.]

【Zhong Hui then regarded Deng Ai as the biggest obstacle on his road to rebellion.】

[Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui agreed that Deng Ai, an old coward, had managed to sneak across Yinping while the main forces of the two armies were confronting each other.]

【Jiang Wei was unwilling to accept that Deng Ai had stolen his chicken and destroyed his country. 】

[Zhong Hui was not convinced that he was the commander-in-chief, but was robbed of his credit by Deng Ai's detachment.]

【Therefore, Zhong Hui joined forces with the military supervisor Wei Guan to secretly report to Sima Zhao that Deng Ai intended to rebel.】

[In order to prove his guilt, Zhong Hui also imitated Deng Ai's handwriting and tampered with his memorial to Sima Zhao, adding many words of rebellion and arrogance.]

[Sima Zhao was already dissatisfied with Deng Ai's behavior, and after seeing these memorials, he finally could no longer tolerate it.]

[In the first month of 264 AD, an imperial decree was issued in the name of the Emperor of Wei to escort Deng Ai back to Luoyang in a prisoner car.]

[Deng Ai was arrested without knowing why and was escorted on his way.]

[After Zhong Hui arrived in Chengdu, he indeed launched a rebellion, but his plot was exposed and he died in the chaos.]

【At this time, Deng Ai's former subordinates thought that he was wronged and planned to bring Deng Ai back. 】

【However, Wei Guan had participated in the false accusation against Deng Ai, and fearing Deng Ai's revenge, he sent Tian Xu, who had a grudge against Deng Ai, to catch up with and kill Deng Ai and his son near Mianzhu. 】【In this way, Deng Ai, a famous general, died unjustly just over two months after conquering Shu. It is really a pity. 】

……

Barrages of comments also flew out.

Seeing the great hero die unjustly, Liu Bei thought that everyone in the comment section would feel sorry for Deng Ai.

Unexpectedly, the style of the barrage was completely different from what Liu Bei expected.

"How disgusting! Deng Ai! Which good man would use his own soldiers to build the Jingguan?"

"Liu Chan surrendered too quickly. There are not enough heads, so we need to use our own people to make up for it."

"It seems Sima Zhao did nothing wrong. Which boss likes disobedient subordinates?"

"You crowned yourself a king without authorization? Are you the boss of Wei?"

"What level am I, Wu Han, the Grand Marshal? I can plunder Liu Xiu and my hometown Nanyang without any problems. Is Deng Ai worthy of it?"

"He was a little crazy, but his death was indeed unjust. He didn't rebel, did he? If we count the years since Liu Yan and his son, Yizhou has been divided for nearly a hundred years. It is indeed a great achievement to be able to recover it."

"Sima Zhao did not kill Deng Ai either. It was Wei Guan who did it."

"But afterwards, Sima Zhao did not pursue the matter, which also showed his attitude."

"Deng Ai doesn't know his position! Sima Zhao only took Hanzhong, but you destroyed the country directly. Why are you the one who makes the decisions?"

《Sima Zhao: I asked you to beat Shu Han half to death, and then I would conquer Shu and usurp the throne. Now, my dream of becoming an emperor is completely shattered, scumbag, I am so pissed off! 》

"The key point is that at this time, the nominal chairman of the Wei State is still the Cao family and the Sima family are the major shareholders in power. "

"Zhong Hui is less than 40 years old and is one of the three highest officials. The Zhong family is also a major shareholder."

《Zhong Hui is the son of Zhong Yao, who was Sima Yi's long-time superior.》

"Sima Zhao himself was a great general, a great governor, and the Duke of Jin, but he was also a regicide."

"Zhong Hui is from a top family, the Minister of the Wei Dynasty, holds military power, and is credited with destroying the country. He has a group of top second-generation and third-generation military officers under him. How can Sima Zhao tolerate him when he returns?"

Zhong Hui was also confused: Brother, why don't you come with me to take Hanzhong and go back to claim the credit?

"Zhong Hui didn't even want to fight, he just climbed over the mountain. Now, as the head coach, Zhong Hui's reputation is catching up with the boss. "

"Deng Ai's struggle harms others and himself!"

"When I was young, I thought Zhong Hui killed Deng Ai. Now I think Zhong Hui was killed by Deng Ai."

"Indeed, Zhong Hui was originally a confidant of Sima Zhao who was trying to gain credit for his achievements."

"As a result, his achievements were too great. Zhong Hui was so smart that he realized that his power was close to Sima Zhao and it was impossible for him to go back."

"So he made friends with Jiang Wei and prepared to rebel. "

"Zhong Hui also joined forces with Queen Mother Guo, perhaps preparing to get rid of the Sima family."

"But Sima Zhao immediately took charge of Chang'an, not giving Zhong Hui any time at all."

"The lower-class Deng Ai was suppressed and killed unjustly, and the noble family Zhong Hui was suspected and forced to rebel. It's amazing!"

"The main reason is that the Sima family themselves have no manners, and everyone they see is a traitor."

"The Jin Dynasty is such a rubbish! It was so rotten before it was even founded."

"If it was Sima Yan, maybe it would be better?"

On the canopy.

There was a heated discussion about the two men vying for credit for the fall of Shu Han.

And the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng sat on the throne, his brows slightly frowned, his eyes fixed on the sky.

I first thought to myself, "When Wang Jian asked for land and houses before attacking Chu, he was a truly smart man."

Then Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said to the ministers below:
"This Deng Ai, although he made great contributions to the destruction of Shu, he was too arrogant to appoint officials on his own and ignore the emperor."

"Being too successful to be a threat to the master has always been a taboo since ancient times."

Li Si quickly followed suit and flattered:

"That's right. It seems Sima Zhao is not a tolerant person either."

"If Deng Ai can serve your majesty, your majesty will only give him some warnings, considering your tolerance."

"But Deng Ai met Sima Zhao, so he was not so lucky." (End of this chapter)
