The economy of Eastern Wu collapsed completely, and the people were living in misery for a time.
When Cao Rui saw this horrifying scene, and then thought of the imperial brocade in his own country that was still highly regarded, he knew in his heart that this thing must be controlled and its price must be kept within a stable range.
It would be best if it could only go up and not down!
Even if it falls, it can only fall slightly. Don't let people panic. Let everyone have confidence in the future of Huangjin and let everyone understand that it is valuable.
As for the news of the economic collapse in Eastern Wu, Cao Rui could only try his best to block it and try not to affect the local imperial brocade market.
If it collapses, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Cao Rui thought that this imperial brocade might be a strategy of Zhuge Liang.
But he changed his mind and realized that it was obviously his own greed that made use of the imperial brocade to make wave after wave of money. Almost all the high-ranking officials of the Cao family, the Xiahou family, and the Wei State made a fortune.
Should we blame others for this?
It really doesn't make sense.
Cao Rui sighed and murmured, "It seems that the only way is to attack Wu as soon as possible and use war to divert internal conflicts. As long as we annex enough land from Wu, this little risk to the emperor will not be a big deal."
And at the same time.
On the Shu Han side.
When Su Che declared war on Eastern Wu, there was not much opposition within the Shu Han group.
There were already some people within Shu Han who defected to Wei.
For example, Qiao Zhou, Du Qiong and other Shu Han "surrender factions" had already been in Shu Han but their hearts were with Wei.
In the original history, they repeatedly expressed the theory of national destruction and predicted that the Shu Kingdom would inevitably perish.
There has been a widely circulated prophecy during the Han and Three Kingdoms period: "The one who will replace the Han Dynasty will be Dangtu Gao."
It was because of this prophecy that Yuan Shu dared to proclaim himself emperor.
Qiao Zhou once asked Du Qiong: "In the past, Lord Zhou Zheng believed that the 'higher one in Dangtu' was the State of Wei. What was the reason for his belief?"
Du Qiong replied, "Wei is the name of a pavilion, facing the road and towering. The sage just used the similarities to discuss this."
When Su Che decided to ally with Wei and attack Wu, the Jingzhou faction naturally could not object, and the other factions had even less reason to object because they were close to Wei.
In their opinion.
The State of Wei was so powerful that it occupied two-thirds of the world. As long as they stabilized, destroying Shu would be a matter of minutes.
Zhuge Liang had launched several northern expeditions before, not only to divert internal conflicts.
It was also to let those surrenderers in the country see that the powerful Wei State was not invincible.
They, too, can be defeated.
Even so, the attitude of those who voted for the Wei Party remained firm.
They were not optimistic about Shu Han.
In fact, there is another reason.
That is, they did not benefit.
As the lowest of the three factions, the Yizhou faction was on the edge of the entire power of Shu Han. The Jingzhou faction had already eaten all the cake, leaving the leftovers to the Dongzhou faction, while the Yizhou faction could not even get a sip of soup.
Yizhou is a small city, and the pie is not that big. Although Shu Han has less arable land and population than Eastern Wu and Wei, its entire bureaucratic system is very bloated and complicated. If everyone wants to have a piece of the pie of interests, then the real people in power will never be able to get enough.
As the prime minister and also one of the representatives of the Jingzhou faction, Zhuge Liang could only try his best to safeguard the interests of the Jingzhou faction.
But in this way, over time, it is only normal that people turn against us.
When he was still alive, perhaps no one dared to say anything.
The chariot of Shu Han can still run barely.
But when he died, many people had all kinds of thoughts.
Su Che naturally understood this clearly.
If you want internal stability, you can't just rely on verbal propaganda and the dream of reviving the Han Dynasty to make others willing to work for you. No matter how big, perfect, and tempting the pie is, it will be useless if it cannot be realized.
Almost all the noble families in Shu did not want to counterattack from the beginning. In their opinion, what difference does it make who is in charge of the world?
Whoever can bring them more benefits is their real master.
But the problem is that Yizhou is such a small place. If the interests that originally belonged to the Jingzhou faction were given to the Yizhou faction and the Dongzhou faction, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Jingzhou faction.
Therefore, launching wars against foreign countries is necessary.
Shu Han has never had a good impression of Eastern Wu. The previous alliance was very fragile, so it is only natural for them to turn against it at this moment.
Not to mention the previous death of Guan Erye, the stabbing in the back of Jingzhou, and the burning of Lianying.
From a legal perspective alone, both Cao Rui and Liu Chan should attack the State of Wu.
The biggest problem is that Sun Shiwan dares to proclaim himself emperor.
For Wei: The King of Wu of the Great Wei dared to rebel? He proclaimed himself emperor without permission, and he must die.
For Shu Han: How dare the Han Wu Hou declare himself emperor? Damn it!
When Eastern Wu proclaimed itself emperor, everyone in the court of Cao Wei and the court of Shu Han was excited and wanted to fight against the rebel!
Especially the Shu Han Group, almost everyone from top to bottom was angry.
But neither Cao Wei nor Shu Han ultimately attacked the State of Wu.
Because of the existence of Shu Han, Cao Wei was not in a hurry to attack Wu, re-enacting the tragedy of the Battle of Chibi, allowing Shu Han to benefit from the conflict between the two sides.
Because of the existence of Cao Wei, Zhuge Liang held his nose, endured the nausea, and in order to maintain the fragile alliance relationship, he recognized the emperorship of Eastern Wu.
Zhuge Liang was a very rational person. He clearly understood that even if the possibility of breaking the deadlock was very slim, he had to move towards the optimal solution!
Even if Dongwu proclaimed himself emperor, he would still send congratulations.
Because only in this way can we maintain previous relations and defeat the most powerful Wei State.
But Zhuge Liang was still wrong about one thing. You can never count on others. In this world, the only thing you can rely on is your own strength.
He wanted to join forces with Eastern Wu to attack Wei, and after the attack was successful, divide the Wei territory equally.
This pie is drawn very big.
In theory it is possible.
But Sun Quan of Eastern Wu also needed to have this intention. He stole Jingzhou because he couldn't take Hefei.
After so many years, Hefei is still a demon to Sun Quan. This place is simply his lifelong enemy.
They couldn't even take down Hefei, and over time they lost the ambition to do so. How could they still want to attack Wei in the north and divide the world with Shu Han?
To put it bluntly, this is a bad teammate.
But Zhuge Liang had no other way out of the impasse and could only bite the bullet and form an alliance with Eastern Wu.
If we follow Zhuge Liang's original plan, it will be a dead end.
Even if Zhuge Liang had lived another ten or twenty years, it would have been impossible for the Northern Expedition to succeed.
If you want to break the impasse, you have to find another way.
After Su Che used Shu brocade to destroy the market economy of Eastern Wu, he was not in a hurry to capture cities and territories. Instead, he prepared to let Wei take the lead and he would just sit back and relax.
At this moment, the Wei State was very strong and could defeat both Shu Han and Eastern Wu.
After forming an alliance with Shu Han, they no longer had any worries and could attack with confidence.
They didn't dislike their teammate Shu Han for slacking off.
The reason is simple - whoever captures the city owns it.
If Wei had annexed more cities from Wu first, they would have been stronger, and it would have been much easier for them to destroy Shu in the future.
They even hope that Shu Han will just keep on slacking off until the end!
at the same time.
Shu Han.
When Su Che obtained a large amount of resources with the 50 billion yuan, he began to recruit soldiers and mountain people and put a lot of supplies into the hands of the Yizhou faction. This move undoubtedly won the hearts of the people of the Yizhou faction.
Although this caused dissatisfaction among the Jingzhou faction, Su Che simply ignored these voices.
This faction, that faction, fought non-stop for their own interests. After all the factions fell, continuous infighting and internal consumption began again, and there was no sense of unity at all.
Such internal friction is a taboo for a country.
If everyone can unite to face external threats and put aside their own personal interests, then this country will inevitably become extremely powerful.
But the problem is that not everyone has this awareness.
Most people will fight for their own interests.
But if this continues, how can the Han Dynasty become great again?
Su Che taught a lesson to the Jingzhou faction represented by Jiang Wan.
They all bowed their heads to show that they understood, but how much of what they could actually hear was unknown!
However, Su Che did not expect them to understand it instantly. The only thing that could drive them was interests.
Su Che divided the benefits of conquering Eastern Wu among the Jingzhou faction and the Dongzhou faction.
The Yizhou faction began to implement Su Che's great revival path!
Su Che ordered Jiang Wei and Meng Huo to take the natives, mountain people, and recruited foreign soldiers, give them the most sophisticated weapons and equipment, and let them head west!
Zhuge Liang once said in his "Book of Departure":
The late emperor knew that I was cautious, so he entrusted me with important matters before his death. Since I received the order, I have been worried day and night, fearing that I would fail to fulfill the trust and hurt the late emperor's wisdom, so I crossed the Lu River in May and went deep into the barren land. Now that the south has been pacified and the weapons and armor are sufficient, I should encourage the three armies to conquer the Central Plains in the north.
Among them, the eight words "crossed the Lu River in May and went deep into the barren land" are very crucial, which refers to Zhuge Liang's southern expedition.
"Crossing the Lu River" means crossing the Lu River, and "deep into the barren land" means reaching a place called "barren land".
In a broad sense, barren land refers to barren land, but in fact, the barren land here refers to present-day Myanmar.
The English name of Myanmar is “Burma” and the English name of “Burmese” is “Burmese”.
It is basically pronounced the same as the word "bumao".
In ancient times, "Barren" or "Bhamo" was the nickname for Myanmar.
Even in Bhamo, Myanmar, almost every household still worships Zhuge Liang, which shows that Zhuge Liang had indeed arrived here and changed many local customs with his teachings.
In the original history, Zhuge Liang advised people of all ethnic groups to "build castles and engage in farming and sericulture", and passed on the Han people's production experience and technical knowledge to the ethnic groups in the southwest, including the "Yunnan Central Farming Method."
Because this farming method is particularly suitable for terraced fields worked by ethnic minorities, it is still used by the people in northern Myanmar and the ethnic minorities in southwestern my country.
Various legends about Zhuge Liang are still widely circulated in Myanmar today. In order to commemorate Zhuge Liang, the people along the China-Myanmar border have specially built the Zhuge Temple, Wuhou Temple and Kongming City.
Zhuge Liang's contribution to education is truly remarkable.
However, he obviously lacks a little pioneering spirit in exploring unknown areas.
Going all the way west from Myanmar, we civilized many barbarians, and then going further west, we can see ancient India. During this period, the name of ancient India was Sindhu, and the name of the regime established at this time was called the Kushan Empire.
The environment in the south is very harsh. Because there are so many rainforests, there is miasma everywhere.
but.
Su Che made the aristocratic families of the Yizhou faction understand one thing, that is, danger and benefits coexist.
Although these places are full of miasma and are very dangerous, as long as you overcome these difficulties, you can get land with a good environment.
The crops grown on those lands can be harvested three times a year!
In front of this...
What does a mere miasma matter?
So what if more people die?
This is the foundation for all eternity!
We must have a pioneering spirit and look to the longer term. We should first trade with the Kushan Empire and at the same time advance westwards, relying on indigenous people such as Meng Huo and then relying on the advanced Central Plains as a background to continuously educate and conquer.
According to Su Che's description, after passing the miasma areas in the south, you will reach the Kushan Empire!
With the development along the way, we will be able to declare war on the Kushan Empire!
It is worth mentioning.
The so-called Kushan Empire was a country established by the Kushan Xihou tribe, one of the five Xihou tribes of the Great Yuezhi.
The Dayuezhi was a country that was beaten by the Xiongnu.
The reason why they appeared in Sindhu and established a country here was largely because the Huns defeated them, so they had to abandon the Hexi Corridor and migrate westward, and finally came here.
The Huns were beaten by the Han people for a long time.
During the heyday of the Kushan Empire, because of his contribution to the Han Dynasty's attack on Cheshi, the Kushan king sent envoys to Ban Chao's residence in the same year that Ban Chao defeated Shache, to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty with treasures, lions, etc., and also made a request to marry a Han Dynasty princess.
Ban Chao did not know the name of the Kushan king and only called him "King of Yuezhi". He directly rejected this unreasonable request.
As a result, the Kushan king held a grudge, so he ordered his deputy king Xie to lead 70,000 troops to cross the Pamir Mountains to attack Ban Chao. Later, they were easily defeated by Ban Chao, which frightened them so much that they immediately continued to pay tribute.
Ban Chao was the Protector General of the Western Regions at that time.
This was the combat effectiveness of the Kushan Empire during its heyday. But now, as so many years have passed, the Kushan Empire has entered its late stage, and its regime has become extremely corrupt.
It's definitely a bigger piece of cake!
The land of Sindhu is a very magical place. They have distinct classes and divide people into various levels. If there are invaders, they will pull the invaders over and make them rulers. They will not cause trouble and will let them enjoy themselves and constantly corrupt them.
Such a group of obedient untouchables can be said to be the favorite people of all rulers.
The saying “Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born into a certain class?” has no place here at all.
The general opinion of most civilians is: They are really brave!
Even from ancient times to the present, this place has been under the oppression of various forces and has become a colony of different countries.
But they don't care who rules them, and they don't care what kind of ruling style the rulers use.
Living at the bottom of society, they have only one firm belief every day: how to survive.
Long-term religious oppression, foreign invasion, and racial system have completely made everyone lose their original fighting spirit.
The idea of ​​being a king, a prince, a general, or a minister is deeply rooted.
Since ancient times, Sindhu has always been submissive to all and corrupt foreign rulers.
The educational ability of Chinese civilization is also its strongest point.
Su Che believed that even a place like Sindhu could be educated.
People at the bottom of society have not seen the sun for a long time and have become completely numb and desperate, but that doesn’t mean they have become people who are afraid of the sun.
Logically speaking, with the national strength of Shu Han, it was not qualified to fight on two fronts.
The most important thing is to launch military operations against Eastern Wu.
But since Wei took action first, there was no need for Shu Han to follow suit. Su Che ordered Wei Yan to lead an army of 20,000, and he himself led an army of 30,000 to slowly catch up with Wei.
Su Che fulfilled his original promise and let Wei Yan lead an army alone and let him charge in the front.
For the State of Wu, Su Che's main target was naturally Jingzhou.
Most of Zhuge Liang's subordinates were from Jingzhou, and they had more or . At this moment, with the Wei Kingdom as their enemy, many people in Jingzhou thought that it would be better to serve Shu Han than to serve Wei.
The reason for this situation is simple: that is what the people want.
In this era, Shu Han had a very good reputation.
Because Liu Bei was the only monarch in the Three Kingdoms who did not massacre the city.
Records of the Three Kingdoms:
Ce said: "Hu and his gang of bandits have no great ambitions, so they are just captured." So he led his troops across the Zhejiang River, occupied Kuaiji, slaughtered people in Dongye, and finally defeated Hu and his gang.
When Sun Ce attacked Yan Baihu, he had not yet completely taken over Jiangdong, so he massacred the city anyway.
Sun Quan did the same. The Records of the Three Kingdoms states: In that year, he led his army to attack Shu in Wancheng. Shu locked himself in and begged Cao Gong for help. Cao Gong did not help. Food was running out, and women made balls of mud and swallowed them. Then he massacred the city, beheaded Shu, and exiled more than 30,000 of his followers.
Sun Quan could even massacre a city to quell a rebellion in his own territory.
As for Boss Cao, he massacred cities even more times. In total, he massacred cities five times.
According to historical records, when Cao Cao arrived, he buried tens of thousands of men and women in the Si River, so that the water stopped flowing. Tao Qian led his army to Wuyuan, and Cao could not advance. He led his army from Sinan to take the counties of Lu, Suiling, and Xiaqiu, and slaughtered them all; all the chickens and dogs were killed, and there was no one in the deserted town.
The people killed in the pit blocked the river, all the chickens and dogs were killed, and there was no one left in the town. It was a simple description, but it meant countless lives were lost.
And this is just one of them.
But Liu Bei never massacred a city.
While leading the people across the river, he even said: "To accomplish great things, people are the foundation. Now that they have come to me, how can I bear to abandon them?"
Some people in later generations may say that Liu Bei was a hypocrite, but in this era, Liu Bei's evaluation and credibility can be said to be very good. By the way, even the reputation of Shu Han has become very good.
Thanks to this, Shu Han's attack gained a lot of advantages, and it felt like they were welcoming the royal army with food and drink.
The Wu State was already in a state of civil strife, and it was extremely difficult for it to resist the combined forces of the Wei State and the Shu Han.
Sun Quan's response was the same as that of the Wei State in the past. He sent generals to resist Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan, and then led the army himself to resist the attack of the Wei State.
Neither Wei nor Wu considered Shu Han as their primary rival, which was normal since their national strength lay there. But it was also because of this that Su Che had the opportunity to steal the spoils.
The war lasted for three years.
In the quagmire of this war, the national strength of the three countries was constantly being consumed.
Although Sun Quan was a famous experience pack in Hefei, he still had some strength. He gritted his teeth and continued to hold on.
Although Shu Han and Wei made some progress, they did not successfully capture the entire territory of Wu.
The reason for this is largely related to Su Che's slacking.
Although he was attacking the State of Wu, he was obviously not as dedicated as he was to attacking the State of Wei, which had put in a lot of effort.
Every time Su Che conquered a piece of land, he would quickly restore normal governance, allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment and the collapsed economy to recover quickly. Compared with other war-torn cities, there seemed to be no shadow of war here, and the Eastern Wu people and the Shu Han army did not invade each other and treated each other with respect.
Many people from Eastern Wu even joined the army of Shu Han in order to make achievements.
This is exactly Zhuge Liang's method of commanding the army, and Su Che can be said to have perfectly inherited this style.
If we say that Wei State put in ten parts of effort, it would get one part of land.
The Shu Han could get a piece of land by putting in half the effort.
Although I'm paddling all the time, my efficiency is actually very exaggerated.
The consumption of national power of Shu Han was also the least among the Three Kingdoms.
In the quagmire of war, Shu Han, which has been paddling, has maintained the best condition.
Over time, Cao Rui, as an ally, naturally discovered this problem, but the Wei State had been dragged into the quagmire of war, and it was obviously not so easy to extricate itself.
We can only attack with gritted teeth.
Fortunately, the national strength of Eastern Wu had been exhausted.
The State of Wu could no longer hold on.
The country is about to be destroyed!
It has to be said that it is remarkable that the Eastern Wu has been able to hold out until now in the face of the joint attack of Shu Han and Wei.
One year later.
The State of Wu was destroyed.
This four-year war finally ended.
The final result was: Wei annexed two-thirds of Wu's land, while Shu Han annexed one-third of Wu's land.
Cao Rui was very satisfied with this result.
He put in a lot of effort and finally succeeded in taking away most of the fruits of victory, which was the best outcome.
Just give that one-third of the land to Shu Han first!
Once the State of Wei is reorganized, the day of unifying the world will be just around the corner!
Cao Rui had already made plans.
In less than three years, no, just two years!
Just two years!
Once Wei has thoroughly digested the fruits of victory, recovered from the fatigue of war, and allowed its national strength to recover a little, then it will be time to deal with Shu Han!
Cao Rui was undoubtedly a great ruler.
Not only Cao Rui.
Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Rui were all powerful rulers.
They governed the Wei Kingdom in an orderly manner and gradually widened the gap between them and Shu Han and Eastern Wu.
However, Cao Pi and Cao Rui had a common shortcoming, which was that they died too early.
Just when Cao Rui was looking forward to unifying the world.
The following year.
Cao Rui passed away.
It's like the date was calculated.
On the first day of the first lunar month, Emperor Ming of Wei, Cao Rui, who was only 36 years old, passed away. Before his death, he entrusted Cao Shuang and Sima Yi to assist the 8-year-old Prince of Qi, Cao Fang.
The original plan to attack the undeveloped Shu Han had to be shelved temporarily.
At this moment, with the death of Cao Rui, Sima Yi's desire for power inevitably began to expand, and he came up with a very bold idea.
He wants to emulate Cao Cao.
If Cao Cao could control the world by holding the emperor hostage, why couldn't Sima Yi?
This thought has come into my mind from this moment on and it can never be gotten rid of.
If Cao Rui had not died, Sima Yi would never have come up with this crazy idea.
But Cao Rui died.
Sima Yi alone outlasted three generations of Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui, and he believed that he would definitely be the final winner.
At this moment, Sima Yi's biggest target was no longer Shu Han in the south, but Cao Shuang within the Wei group, the stumbling block that prevented him from taking power.
In his opinion.
The Shu Han in the south, a small corner of the country, could never be a match for the Wei Kingdom no matter how it developed.
The general trend of the world has been determined.
For Sima Yi, the only opponent of Shu Han might be Zhuge Liang. Sima Yi, who was well versed in the art of survival, decided to get rid of Zhuge Liang first no matter what.
This gave Shu Han time and space to develop.
All this was exactly as Su Che had expected, and everything was in his plan.
This is also the only way to break the deadlock.
Time flies and the years pass by.
As the years go by.
Everything in Shu Han was gradually getting back on track.
While governing the local area and developing people's livelihood, Su Che was also practicing and organizing martial arts, and at the same time trying to cultivate immortality again. Even if he couldn't acquire the true Dharma of the world, it would be good if he could strengthen his body and live more years.
As long as he lives longer and waits until Sima Yi launches a coup, that will be the moment for him to unify the world.
But unfortunately, in this simulated world, it is impossible to cultivate immortality, as the environment between heaven and earth is completely different.
The hope of prolonging life through cultivating immortals was thus shattered.
What a pity.
As time passed, Su Che could feel one thing clearly.
My birthday is approaching.
Eleven years have passed since he faked his death in Wuzhangyuan.
Su Che had reason to suspect that he would die in a year.
In the novel, Kong Ming's life extension was just to allow him to live another century.
One era is twelve years. Judging from his current physical condition, Su Che seems to only have one more year to live. Calculating the time, it is exactly twelve years.
The great cause has not been accomplished, but the life is short. This feeling of powerlessness is so painful.
then.
This year.
Su Che launched another Northern Expedition.
After so many years, the war machine of Shu Han started to operate again.
Following Shu Han's declaration of war, everyone in Wei, including the power center, was amused by Shu Han's behavior - Shu was just two states, living in a remote corner, yet they were still not satisfied and dared to provoke the great country in the Central Plains?
Don’t you really know how to write the word death?
For so many years, Wei State has been recuperating and has not paid any attention to Shu State. It is not that it does not dare to attack you, but that it thinks there is no need to attack you. It is waiting for the gap to gradually widen, and Shu State will have no ability to resist at all.
But the rest and recuperation in the past few years have apparently given these Shu people a mysterious confidence!
This is unacceptable!
So.
Facing the attack from Shu Han, Sima Yi took control of the military power, put on his helmet and armor, and prepared to defeat his inner demons with the power of a great country!
Zhuge Liang!
At that time, Sima Yi believed that Zhuge Liang was no longer the same Zhuge Liang as before, which made people think that he had gone insane, leading to him being ridiculed by many people.
Sima Yi at this moment, no matter Zhuge Liang or not, must be defeated! To avenge the previous humiliation!
With the national strength of Wei and the absolute superiority of the army, we can defeat this small Shu Kingdom!
Ascend to the throne of the future with a beautiful victory!
But very quickly.
When Sima Yi arrived at the front line and saw the group of elephant cavalry charging, his eyes widened and he shouted in horror: "What the hell is this?!"
Sima Yi, who faced the elephant cavalry for the first time, naturally could not think of how to defeat it at the first moment. With this wave of attack, the Wei army almost collapsed.
Even Sima Yi could only run away!
Sima Yi was extremely shocked at this moment.
It's only been a few years since we last saw each other, how come the Shu army has elephant cavalry?
How come they become just like the people of Sindhu!
It was the first time Sima Yi saw this thing.
With the charge of hundreds of elephant cavalry, the ground shook for a moment, as if the earth was shaking. Even though I have lived for so many years, this is the first time I have seen such a scene! It is so terrifying!
As the Shu army continued to attack, Sima Yi was surprised to find that the Shu army's numbers, equipment, and even morale were not inferior to the Wei army, and were even better!
When did Shu become so powerful?
Sima Yi was a little dazed.
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered that a few years ago, the Kushan Empire had sent a message asking for help, saying that it had been attacked and plundered by some barbarian natives, who still called themselves the Han!
Sima Yi didn't take it seriously at that time.
In his understanding, in the Western Regions, one has to go all the way west to reach Sindhu, which is the Kushan Empire.
But Shu is in the south, how did they get to Sindhu?
It seems now.
Shu was able to conquer Shentu and take over the land for its own use, which is why it became so powerful! !
When Sima Yi reacted at this moment, it was obviously too late!
Through the continuous blood supply from the Sindhu region and the entire south, Shu Han finally had the strength to fight a decisive battle with Wei.
Many of the wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families in Wei also tended to support Shu Han.
The reason is simple.
A few years ago, with the Sima family coming to power, they used the Huangjin Market to buy up a wave of leeks and easily controlled the wealth in their hands. This way of making money is simply too comfortable.
But this also led to the collapse of Huangjin, causing many wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families to lose a lot of money.
Although the Sima family and the Cao family tried to put the blame on Shu Han, after all, the imperial brocade itself was Shu brocade, and it was just their trick.
This approach did have some effect at the beginning, and some civilians who were unaware of the inside story actually believed it to be true.
But those who know the inside story know clearly who the ultimate beneficiary is!
The Cao family, the Sima family, and the Xiahou family took almost all the benefits, leaving not even a sip of soup for themselves!
In such circumstances, with a little provocation, they can easily come up with different ideas.
Like Sima Yi, they also came up with a bold idea.
They want to make a political investment!
If Shu Han can become the master of the world, then they can be considered to have followed the dragon!
From a certain perspective, this can be considered as the will of the people.
Due to various reasons, the Shu Han army won battle after battle and became stronger and stronger.
If Cao Rui were still alive, the Wei Kingdom would not have been defeated so easily. But with his death, the powerful Wei Kingdom was like a paper tiger and was easily torn apart when it encountered the equally powerful Shu Han.
The night when Luoyang, the capital of Wei State, was captured.
General Jiang Wei and General Wei Yan came to the prime minister's tent excitedly.
Wei Yan said carelessly: "Prime Minister, Luoyang has been conquered! The pseudo-dynasty is now in name only! There will be no more obstacles! The mission is accomplished, Prime Minister!"
Jiang Wei was also very happy. The changes in the past ten years were truly astonishing. The Prime Minister's initial decision was extremely wise. He destroyed Wu, civilized the Nanyue countries, and broke the Kushan Empire of Shentu. He made Shu Kingdom go from being a remote country to being a powerful country. The source of all this was the Prime Minister!
However, when the two men walked into the tent, they found something wrong. The prime minister on the bed did not show any joy at all. He lay there quietly, not moving at all, and did not even make a sound.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Wei and Wei Yan both felt a pang in their hearts. They walked forward cautiously and nervously touched the prime minister's nose to feel his breath.
There is no more breathing.
At this moment, Jiang Wei and Wei Yan's scalps went numb and tears flowed silently: "Prime Minister!!!"
Soon, the two found the letter in the prime minister's hand.
"Is this... the Prime Minister's will?" Wei Yan asked.
"It should be." Jiang Wei wiped his tears and slowly raised his head. He glanced at Wei Yan and said coldly: "This will cannot be moved. We must see His Majesty and then open this will in front of everyone!"
"I didn't change this will." Wei Yan muttered softly.
…
【You are dead.】
【Simulation ends.】
This time, Su Che experienced the feeling of death, just like when he was resurrected from the dead. It was an unprecedented coldness, and then he fell into endless darkness, followed by a very relaxed feeling.
Then Su Che returned here.
"I don't know how it ended up." Su Che looked at the simulated text on the Book of Spiritual Contract and said softly, "However, Luoyang has been conquered and most of the Wei Kingdom has been destroyed. Even without me, it should have worked out."
Su Che slowly raised his head. Not far away, Zhuge Liang slowly walked over. He looked at Su Che and said with satisfaction, "Well done."
Su Che said helplessly : "This is already my limit. Twelve years is too short..."
Zhuge Liang nodded and pointed to the Book of Spirit Contract on the desk: "Let's take a look at the final summary!"
Su Che looked down.
【Simulation summary.】
[You are lying dead on Wuzhang Plain. ]
[Faced with this inevitable death, you are not frustrated at all, you have already made your own ideas and decisions. ]
[You first used the news of your death to lure Sima Yi's entire army into attacking, and then commanded them like a god, defeating the Wei army, killing 10,000 and capturing 60,000, shocking the world! ]
[After the great victory, you returned to Shu, modified the textile machine, and melted down the Zhibai Wuzhu coins worth 50 billion. ]
【Everyone in the government and the public opposed it, but you insisted on doing it. 】
[You have produced a batch of Shu brocade with a special code. ]
[You used this specially coded Shu brocade to set up a trap.]
[Under the temptation of money, even wise kings like Cao Rui and Sun Quan were seduced by you. ]
[They harvested countless wealth, and you turned these 50 billion 100-5 baht into countless supplies.]
[After that, you allied with Wei and attacked Wu. Then you united with the natives and began to educate them along the way. You continued to expand, and your goal was the Kushan Empire far away in Sindhu! ]
[No one knows that the remote Shu Kingdom is rapidly becoming stronger.]
[Even though the land was full of miasma, after exploring day and night, they finally arrived at the Kushan Empire. ]
[At the same time, Eastern Wu was destroyed, and Wei was planning to attack you, but because of Cao Rui's death, they had to put it on hold for the time being.]
[A few years later, you have become the ruler of Sindhu, with land and population that is no less than that of Wei.]
[Time is running out, you know you only have one year left to live, so you launch the sixth Northern Expedition.]
[This was also the largest Northern Expedition.]
[With the help of the entire Nanman and Shentu, Shu Han had the capital to turn the tables. ]
[The first battle was a success, the elephant cavalry shocked the world and almost scared Sima Yi silly. ]
[After that, they won battle after battle, and the powerful Wei State was conquered one after another.]
[The Han Dynasty will become strong again! ]
[On this day, Luoyang was conquered, but you died in the military camp outside the city.]
[Jiang Wei brought your will to the court.]
[You detailed your final arrangements in your will, gave some pointers to some people, gave advice to Liu Chan, advised your colleagues, and gave an evaluation of yourself.]
[You said: Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Mencius said to pursue righteousness. Only when one has fulfilled his righteousness can one be benevolent. I have devoted my whole life to it and finally achieved something. I am worthy of my ancestors, the people, and the Han Dynasty. From now on, benevolence and righteousness will last forever.]
[You have done your best, and you have no regrets towards the world, the people, and the First Lord.]
【You can say: I did it. 】
【As the news of your death spread, the whole world wept.】
【From now on, there will be no more Zhuge Kongming. 】
[In the second year after your death, the State of Wei was gradually destroyed, and you successfully revived the Han Dynasty for the third time, completely revitalizing the doomed situation.]
[After that, he continued to expand his territory and went south to educate the barbarians overseas. ]
[The name of Zhuge Kongming is known throughout the world. ]
【Some are dead, but still alive. 】
【Your spirit will live forever. 】
【You become the Holy Spirit of the simulated world. 】
【Comprehensive evaluation: Lord of the world. 】
Su Che looked at these words that kept appearing, and his mind couldn't help but recall the past. For a moment, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's really not easy. After twelve years of ups and downs, I finally accomplished my great cause."
Then, Su Che looked at the last evaluation, Lord of the World, what kind of evaluation is this? Does it mean to set an example in expanding territory?
No, it should be the credit of education?
"Twelve years have passed, and you have actually achieved it." Zhuge Liang looked at the constantly evolving text with a very complicated expression.
To be honest, from the very beginning, when he gave Su Che this hellish difficulty start, he didn't expect Su Che to be able to do it.
I just want to see how far he can go...
Who would have thought...
Su Che actually did it!
What a hell!!
Is this even possible??!
