Chapter 5 Liu Chan
In 263 AD, Wei generals Zhong Hui, Deng Ai and others attacked Shu. Deng Ai smuggled into Yinping's army and approached the border. Liu Chan discussed with his ministers how to resist and decided to send Zhuge Zhan to lead his troops to fight, but Zhuge Zhan was defeated. Afterwards, he surrendered to Cao Wei.
In the same year, General Jiang Wei was killed, and at this point, Shu Kingdom was completely destroyed.
This is the historical truth known to the world. However, how many people can truly know the true buried truth.
The night before Liu Chan surrendered in Xiancheng, Chengdu.
In the dark night, there was no wind, but there was someone. I saw a thin man who was not handsome and stood quietly at the highest point of Chengdu City. His eyes were silent and looked up at the clear night sky, but anyone could see that he had no intention of appreciating the beautiful night because his eyes were in space. His snow-white silk suit didn't even have any wrinkles, and he couldn't even flutter in the windless night. The man's pale face seemed to have no vitality, and he looked completely overly indulgent.
"You are here." A voice that was not very nice came out. The man did not turn around, but just said calmly.
I don’t know when, the top of the temple where there was only one man. At this time, the five people were kneeling behind the man on one knee. Hearing the man’s voice, the five people bowed respectfully and replied: “Yes! Young Master!”
The man was silent for a while before saying, "Xiangfu is gone." His tone was filled with unconcealed sadness and loneliness.
"yes!"
The man nodded, "It's good, it's good." He only sighed after being silent for a long time, "But Xiangfu, don't you leave the last side to Adou?"
From the man's words, he knew that this person was Liu Chan, the king of Shu!
Mo Changkong, who was wearing yellow clothes among the five, stood up and walked to Liu Chan and bowed and took out something.
Liu Chan turned around and looked at the thing in Mo Changkong's hand. It was a piece of black fragment as thin as paper, but just a piece of broken pieces. The fragment looked nothing surprising, dark and light-blind. Liu Chan did not hold it in his hand, but just looked at it calmly and asked, "This is the third step."
"Yes!" Mo Changkong replied, "Please take a look."
Liu Chan shook his head and still didn't pick it up. Because he always remembered a sentence that Zhuge Kongming once told him that once he picked up some things, he would never be able to put them down. Therefore, even though he knew what this thing in front of him was and what its use was, he still just looked quietly and never held it in his hand.
"You all know what tomorrow is." Liu Chan looked away from the third step and looked at the five people. "So, go quickly. Just be a mortal from now on."
Hearing Liu Chan's words, the five people all looked at Liu Chan in shock. Their eyes were full of horror. They couldn't figure it out, they really couldn't figure it out. Mo Changkong looked at Liu Chan and said anxiously: "Young Master, why?! The Prime Minister said that this treasure is enough for us to pacify the world and restore our great man to unify the mountains and rivers. Why? Why did you give up when you see success in your sight?"
Liu Chan shook his head, "You don't understand."
Hearing Liu Chan's words, the five of them fell silent. But their eyes were full of unwillingness and the fiery reluctance. The clenched fists showed the surging in their hearts at this time, and the trembling body showed that they had reached the critical point of explosion.
"Young Master, I'm not willing to give up!" Shui Rou, the only woman among the five, suddenly shouted suddenly, looking at Liu Chan's eyes with unconcealed disappointment and contempt. "If we don't have the power to resist and the young master acts like this, I will be speechless." Shui Rou hesitated and said, "But I'm not willing to be able to unify the world with a wave of hands. I just give up easily."
Shui Rou's words made the other four feel rude to Liu Chan. However, they didn't say anything.
Liu Chan looked at Shui Rou, "Is this what you think?" Then he looked at the other four, "You guys think so too."
The four of them looked down and remained silent. Only Shui Rou looked at Liu Chan again after lowering her head, bowed and responded firmly: "Yes!"
"Haha," Liu Chan laughed loudly, watching Shui Rou's eyes gradually emit light. "Since you have the courage to refute me, why do you want to lie again?" Liu Chan's eyes at Shui Rou actually made Shui Rou unconsciously avoid it. At that moment, Shui Rou knew clearly that she was afraid. For the first time, she did not dare to look at someone's gaze, and she actually felt fearful for one gaze.
"Let me tell you what you think." Liu Chan said calmly, "Do you think I am the rumored A Dou who can't be helped, and the mud cannot be supported on the wall. I am timid and afraid of things and are extremely stupid. I have to give up a great river and mountain." Seeing that Shui Rou wanted to explain or argue, Liu Chan waved his hand and interrupted, "No need to be quibbling, don't deceive yourself."
The five people remained silent again.
"Indeed, with the third step in hand, our Shu Kingdom can easily take over the world." Liu Chan looked at the five people and asked, "I want to ask you, if that is the case, how long will it take for you to ask yourself?"
After the five people thought about it, Sun Ye said immediately: "A year is enough! Even..." Sun Ye hesitated for a moment and did not continue.
"It doesn't even take a year, how many months are enough." Liu Chan continued to say the words of the five people, and then looked at the five people and asked another question. "Then have you ever thought about how much damage will the whole world cause in these few months?"
"This..." the five people were speechless.
"Changkong, you said." Liu Chan said.
Mo Changkong thought for a while and said, "If the third step artifact is used, the losses will be ten times greater than the damage and massacre caused by the founding of the Three Kingdoms in the Troubled Times." In the end, Mo Changkong's voice became smaller, and even he scared himself.
"Ten times? Haha," Liu Chan smiled, "It's a hundred times! By then, the world will wither, the creatures will be devastated, the blood will flow into a river, the country will be destroyed, the family will be destroyed!" Liu Chan looked at the five people and suddenly shouted angrily: "Is this what you are pursuing to unify the world?!"
When Liu Chan shouted angrily, the five people's bodies suddenly shook and were at a loss for a moment.
"Of course, you can also regard everything I said as an excuse for my incompetence." Liu Chan smiled softly, "I won't want the third step. It's in your hands. It's up to you to use it as you wish." Liu Chan turned around and continued to look at the clear night sky, "Let's go."
The five people looked at Liu Chan's back and suddenly realized that they didn't know the person in front of them. The five people wanted to kneel respectfully and bow to Liu Chan again. However, just as they wanted to kneel down, the five people's faces changed drastically, with a look of horror on their faces. At that moment, a force that was too powerful to resist imprisoned the five people. At that moment, the five people found that they could not even move their fingers. At that moment, the five people clearly felt their weakness like an ant, as if they would be pinched to death at any time.
Just when the five people were extremely frightened, they heard Liu Chan say calmly: "You don't need to kneel down to me. From the moment I decided to surrender, as the king of Shu, I have long been no longer qualified to kneel down to worship." Then, with a light wave, the power that frightened the five people disappeared without a trace.
"Young Master, you!" At that moment, the five people realized that the extremely powerful power just now was from Liu Chan's hands. At this moment, the horror in their hearts was hundreds of times stronger than being imprisoned just now. The only thing they could do now was stand in place blankly, with a look of horror.
After a moment of recovery, Mo Changkong looked at Liu Chan's back and said anxiously: "Why are the young master? Why do you have such divine power but want...but..."
"But you have to look stupid and incompetent in front of the world." Liu Chan smiled sadly, with sadness in his smile. "Everyone in the world says that I am Liu Chan is stupid and incompetent, and he is the eternal emperor. But how many people have truly understood me. Hahaha," at that moment, Liu Chan laughed wildly at the sky, with humiliation and unwillingness in his laughter, and the pain that the world misunderstood but has nowhere to tell. How many people in the world can understand. "I have the wisdom of lying dragons and the power of the five tigers! If I want to fight to dominate the world, who can stop me in this world!" At this time, a swaying force of looking down on the world suddenly emanated from Liu Chan's body. The strong domineering aura made Mo Changkong and the five people in his heart frightened.
"Hahaha," the laughter echoed in the quiet night sky. In the end, the laughter became smaller and smaller, and a sense of ruthless arrogance turned into a strong sense of sadness and misery.
"Young Master..." Mo Changkong shouted softly.
"The chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms are originally a huge pattern that the father and the Xiangfu came up with to alleviate the suffering of the world. The purpose is not to fight for dominance of the world, but just to maintain a balance and a balance that can coexist with the Three Kingdoms. Once this balance is broken, the situation of the Three Kingdoms will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, all efforts of the father and the Xiangfu will be spent. The people of the world will once again fall into dire straits." Liu Chan said quietly.
"But, even if that's the case, what does this have to do with the young master?" Zhang Cheng asked in confusion.
Liu Chan smiled and fell silent. However, Mo Changkong looked at Liu Chan's lonely back, and a deep feeling of sadness and sadness arose. Born in an imperial family was already miserable, but he had to force himself to live another life. Such a life was lamentable, sad, and pitiful. Mo Changkong said: "Because a powerful Liu Chan can break that balance, and if you want to continue to maintain that balance, there can only be an incompetent Liu Chan." Mo Changkong paused for a moment. "This is like a lot of
A few years ago, Feng Chu and Pang Tong were like Pang Tong. It was not that Pang Tong did not count the killing situation, nor that he gave the former emperor a pretext to send troops as the world said. But because of that sentence, the lie of dragon and phoenix Chu won the world. If it were all, it would not be a blessing, but a disaster. That would break the balance and allow Wu and Wei to unite and destroy our Shu. By then, three points would not be enough, and the world would be in chaos again!" Mo Changkong looked at Liu Chan, "It was not that Feng Chu was careless to die, but that he had to die! It was not that Liu Chan was incompetent, but that he had to die."
Mo Changkong's words made everyone silent.
Is the truth of everything really so ruthless and simple? At this moment, Mo Changkong looked at Liu Chan's thin back, as if he finally knew why Liu Chan had the help of Zhuge, and the five tigers, and the help of the generals, but he became such an incompetent monarch. Everything was ruthless in simplicity!
"Haha," Liu Chan smiled, "No wonder Xiangfu praised you very much. Mo Changkong, the third step of the artifact will be handed over to you."
"Young Master!" Mo Changkong and the other four people shouted loudly. However, although the same words they shouted out were different, they meant different meanings.
"Let's go." Liu Chan waved his long sleeves and said calmly.
Seeing this, Shui Rou and the other two didn't say much. They just looked at Mo Changkong with a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction. Their shouts just now were hoping that Liu Chan could take back his life. Why do they want Mo Changkong to take over the treasure?
Seeing that Liu Chan stopped talking, the five people left one after another. After the five people left, Liu Chan turned around and looked at the place where Mo Changkong and others were kneeling. He saw that at the place where Mo Changkong was kneeling just now, there were two very small words engraved on a golden tiles - be careful! "Changkong, I'm sorry."
Then, in the quiet night, only Liu Chan stood there alone, watching the moon and murmured. "Xiangfu, A Dou is waiting for you to come back in this world. When you come back, A Dou can have a clear conscience and say to Xiangfu with a calm and straightened chest: Xiangfu, A Dou protects this world very well for you..."
In 263 AD, Liu Chan, the late lord of Shu Han, surrendered to the city.
In 271 AD, Liu Chan died in Luoyang at the age of 65.
Until the moment Liu Chan passed away, he could not wait until Zhuge Kongming came back.
