Chapter 400: Three Kingdoms: Luo Guanzhong, why don’t you write more about the Eastern Wu
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: Are you going to die just like that?]
[Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang: Alas, what a pity.]
[Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han: Maybe it is fate.]
[Zhang Fei, the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: Big Brother!!!]
……
Even though he knew that the person on the video screen was not the real Liu Bei, not his elder brother, and he also knew that such a thing as happened in history would never happen again, Zhang Fei still cried bitterly.
"Brother, brother...you must kill Wu Gou!" Zhang Fei cried bitterly while holding his spear.
Zhang Bao: “???”
Liu Chan: “…”
Liu Chan asked Zhang Bao in a low voice: "Uncle, are you okay?"
Zhang Bao shrugged and replied, "Don't worry about him, he will be fine in a while."
"Yeah." Liu Chan also turned his head and continued to look at the light screen.
My father already knew what kind of person I was, yet he still made me the heir.
Liu Chan also knew that he was sometimes not as smart as his younger brothers, and it was always Prime Minister Zhuge, Uncle Yun, and his Third Uncle who spoiled and encouraged him.
Alas, what a pity. I probably won’t be able to call you “Father” anymore in the future.
……
"Humph, apart from the bad reputation of our Eastern Wu in history, our battle record can be checked." Sun Ce had long since laid down and allowed the original Eastern Wu to be mocked.
"We were the ones fighting Cao Cao in the Battle of Red Cliffs, but Luo Guanzhong, that black man, portrayed us as worthless trash." Zhou Tai and others said unconvinced.
"That's right. It was clearly Gongjin's achievement, but Luo Guanzhong wrote it as Zhuge Liang's ingenuity... I want to see how powerful Zhuge Liang will be in the future." Han Dang said.
"No matter how powerful they are, the Northern Expedition will not be successful." Sun Quan said in a low voice.
Zhou Yu sat down next to Sun Ce and waited for the screen to show the next scene.
All state affairs were entrusted to Zhuge Kongming, who held sole power over Shu Han. Why is such a person so highly praised?
To repay the kindness of a benefactor? Loyalty?
……
Cao Cao raised the wine in the cup and poured it on the ground, "Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande, your death is a bit pathetic. You got your revenge, but you also lost the chance to unify the country."
After all, I died because of the torture of illness...
……
Cao Pi was overjoyed when he learned that Liu Bei had died of illness. He decided to take this opportunity to attack Shu.
Jia Xu opposed it, thinking that since Zhuge Liang was still around, they should not launch an attack hastily.
Sima Yi agreed and proposed to mobilize 100,000 Qiang soldiers from Liaoxi, 100,000 from Nanzhong, 100,000 from Dongwu, 100,000 from Shangyong, and Cao Zhen as the commander-in-chief to lead 100,000 troops, for a total of 500,000 troops to attack from all sides.
Zhuge Liang had not attended court due to illness, so Liu Chan personally went to see Zhuge Liang and asked for advice on how to repel the enemy.
Zhuge Liang explained to him the strategy of retreating the troops and sent Deng Zhi to the Eastern Wu to explain the interests involved to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan followed Zhang Zhao's advice and set up an oil tripod and soldiers to kill Deng Zhi.
Deng Zhi showed no fear and said, "The angels of the upper kingdom will not bow to the rulers of the lower kingdoms."
During the debate with Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan learned that Cao Pi's four armies had retreated without a fight.
Deng Zhi continued to say that Wu and Shu were closely related, so which side would he rather be in peace with, Shu or Wei? After that, he ran directly towards the oil pan and was about to jump in. Sun Quan was startled and hurriedly sent someone to stop him. In the end, he agreed to the alliance between Wu and Shu.
When Cao Pi learned about the alliance between Wu and Shu, he was furious:
"The alliance between Wu and Shu must be intended to take over the Central Plains. I must attack them first!"
Xin Pi advised that they should station troops for ten years before attacking Wu and Shu.
Cao Pi flatly refused. "Cao Zhen will be the vanguard, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Wen Pin, Xu Huang and others will be the generals ahead, and I will personally lead an army of 300,000 soldiers and soldiers to attack the Eastern Wu. I will appoint Sima Yi as Shang Shu Pushe and let him stay in Xudu. The affairs of state will be decided by him."
＜Jia Xu is still alive, so long-lived.＞
＜Jia Xu is a wise man. Shu Han would definitely fall apart without Zhuge Liang. Those who didn't listen to Jia Xu in the Three Kingdoms would always be unlucky. Moreover, Jia Xu is a very self-protective person. He tried so hard to dissuade Cao Pi, which means it would definitely not work. Unfortunately, Cao Pi didn't listen.＞
＜Many people died in 223 AD, including Liu Bei, Jia Xu, Cao Ren, and Cao Zhang.＞
＜This Sima Zhongda looks very decent and loyal to the Wei Dynasty.＞
＜Do you still feel that he looks very familiar, a bit like Boss Cao in the early days? [狗头]＞
＜I looked at the title of this episode, Anju Pingwu Road. Hmm… I feel relieved.＞
＜Shu Han's internal and external affairs are all subject to Zhuge Liang.＞
＜After all, Ji Han could only rely on the Prime Minister at that time. Once the Prime Minister left... Ji Han would be left with no one.＞
＜Why does Liu Chan in this period look so thin and a little handsome? He has completely inherited his father’s good looks… He doesn’t look like the fat Liu Chan later at all [covering face]＞
＜Maybe it was because Zhuge Liang was so amazing that Liu Chan developed a personality that depended on him for everything and became lazy.＞
＜Deng Zhi said this very coolly! Doesn't it mean that you are not worthy? That's right, Shu Han and Wei are on the same level, and you, the King of Wu in Dongwu, were still conferred by Wei.＞
＜Zhang Zhao is really in Wu’s camp, but his heart is in Wei [covering his face]＞
＜Let me say a few words for Zhang Zhao. Actually, when Sun Ce entrusted his son to him, he said that if Zhongmou was not capable, he should make the decision himself. Zhang Zhao was invited by Sun Ce himself, so how could he be useless?＞
＜Alas, if Jingzhou had not been lost, there would be no need for all these things. After losing Jingzhou, the only way out for Shu Han was Hanzhong, so it had to form an alliance with Wu.＞
＜Cao Pi: Ten years?! How many decades can a person have? I will be gone by then! I am already nearly forty years old, how can I wait another ten years!!!＞
＜Cao Wei is still very impressive, with an all-star lineup. It's so confusing when the names of Zhang Liao and Zhang He come out. ＞
＜Battle of Red Cliff 2.0＞
＜Defeat Cao Pi and Xu Sheng by using fire attack.＞
＜He was directly killed by Xu Sheng~＞
＜Is Sima Yi finally going to make it? Cao Pi trusted him so much that he made all the decisions on state affairs.＞
＜The three-way expedition to Wu in history was really exciting, but it was a pity that Luo Guanzhong didn't write about it, and the TV series didn't film it. It seems that Zhang Liao also died in this eastern expedition, which is a pity.＞
[Sun Ce in the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: @Luo Guanzhong in the twenty-ninth year of the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, why didn't you write it!!!]
[Luo Guanzhong in the 29th year of Ming Hongwu: Ahem, well… my writing ability is limited, limited…]
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: Zhang Liao also died in this Eastern Expedition? How is that possible?! It was just a small expedition to Jiangdong.]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Maybe the later historical records are wrong. I remember that Zhang Liao died of illness during this Eastern Expedition. He died before the battle.]
[Zhang Fei, Year 2 of Zhangwu Period of the Later Han Dynasty: That’s good. I thought Sun Quan was going to get rid of the title of God of War…]
……
Liu Chan's defense was slightly broken.
The screen said he was Fat Liu Chan...
Jiang Wei was thinking about how Liu Chan looked when he first met him. At that time, Liu Chan was taken away for training by General Zhang, and it must have been hard. But when he saw him for the first time, he thought that the Crown Prince of Ji Han looked "so stupid".
After looking at Liu Chan, who had now gotten rid of some of his obesity, Jiang Wei looked up at the light curtain opposite him.
Well... I look smarter if I'm thinner.
……
"Sima Yi!" Cao Cao looked away and stared at his son Cao Pi again. "He must be your confidant, no wonder he entrusted you with such an important task."
“Not everyone is Zhuge Liang.”
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Cao Pi quickly reflected on himself.
"Yes, I have misjudged this person..." Cao Pi stared at Sima Yi, who looked loyal and righteous in the video, and gritted his teeth.
"Also, you need to change your conceited personality." Cao Cao has not yet discovered that Cao Pi is conceited, but he may be good at disguising himself.
He was too eager for quick success and should have listened to Jia Xu from the beginning.
……
“Ahhh! How infuriating!”
The generals of Eastern Wu were very angry. The bias of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was too obvious!
Aren't you tired of always talking about the Kingdom of Shu? It's called the Three Kingdoms, but in fact it's always about the Kingdom of Shu.
"Cao Pi is going to attack Wu? Humph, he is overestimating himself!" Sun Ce was not even afraid of Cao Cao, let alone Cao Pi?
"Does he understand military affairs? Has he forgotten his father's defeat at Red Cliff?" Sun Ce did not give Cao Pi any face at all. He listed all his shortcomings and posted them in the comments on the screen.
"Is Zhang Liao real or fake?"
"Okay, he died first."
Sun Ce was somewhat disappointed, but at the same time he made up his mind to have a good competition with the real god of war in Hefei this time. He wanted to see how capable this man who frightened Jiangdong was.
……
Luo Guanzhong sighed: "It can't be said that it's because except for Zhou Yu, the other people in Dongwu have little presence."
He himself also added his own understanding and artistic creation based on various versions and legends passed down over the years.
Ok……
"I really didn't expect that Romance of the Three Kingdoms would be loved by so many people."
According to Luo Guanzhong's own preferences, his favorite person was of course Zhuge Liang. Because of Zhuge Liang, other people on the Shu Han side were more or less favored.
As for Eastern Wu...there is nothing good to say about Sun Quan in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
