Chapter 287: 【Tianshui Tianshui Qilin, Stunned Blue Star Netizens】 (4.1k)
Looking at the two characters on the screenshot of the Federation headlines, Fang Ming opened the Polar Star official forum.
He knew Jiang Wei.
He was the last great general of Shu Han in the [Three Kingdoms] version, but he ultimately failed.
Shu was destroyed.
After that, the attention of Blue Star players to this side was relatively small.
Because the [Three Kingdoms] version mainly focused on the struggle for hegemony among "Wei, Shu, and Wu," and by the time Jiang Wei was in power, it had already entered the final stage, so the attention of Blue Star players naturally decreased a lot, and they were all looking forward to the update of the new version.
They only knew that Jiang Wei was ambushed by Wei and Shu was destroyed.
And now Jiang Wei was on the headline list of the screenshot, second only to Prime Minister Zhuge.
Obviously, there was a story here too.
Fang Ming searched for information about Jiang Wei on the forum.
And just as he thought, it was relatively small.
However, the detailed process was there.
[263 AD, Battle of Wei Destroying Shu]
[Wei generals Zhong Hui and Deng Ai attacked Shu, Jiang Wei blocked Zhong Hui’s main force at Jiange, but Deng Ai secretly crossed Yinping and broke through Chengdu, and Liu Shan surrendered.]
It ended there.
Shu was destroyed, and Blue Star players naturally had no interest in staying.
After all, Liu Shan had surrendered, so what were the players working for?
So they didn't know what happened later.
Afterward.
Fang Ming searched for "Wu Wu Zixu," but there was no plot about "Wu Wu Zixu" at all, although it was mentioned in some data posts.
"Wu Wu Zixu" was a figure from the Warring States period.
And the initial version of the [Huaxia] ancient series was the Qin Dynasty, and the timeline was too far apart.
However, at this time, there were already many posts on the forum discussing the content of the "Wu Wu Zixu" film version. Fang Ming didn't deliberately look at them, just glanced at the titles and roughly understood: "Brothers."
"This Wu Wu Zixu, looking at the titles of those posts, it seems he also experienced some 'tragedies' that were far beyond what ordinary people could bear."
"..."
"Hiss..."
"Let's watch Jiang Wei’s first."
"We’ve already watched Li He and Yan Yan Zhenqing, and I haven't recovered from the Manuscript of the Sacrificial Nephew for long."
"Let's watch the tragedy later."
"Let's see what’s going on with Jiang Wei."
Fang Ming said, and the Blue Star netizens in the stream also agreed one after another.
Immediately.
Fang Ming clicked on the [Tianshui Tianshui Qilin] film version.
The screen gradually lit up.
[15th Year of Jian'an · Tianshui Ji County]
Snowy night.
The cold wind howled, and the snowflakes outside the window beat against the window.
7-year-old Jiang Wei knelt on the straw mat, supporting his chin with his small hands, watching his mother sewing his father’s armor by the oil lamp.
The crack from the shoulder to the chest looked ferocious and terrifying.
Little Jiang Wei suddenly raised his hand and touched the cracked mark, as if feeling what it had experienced: "Mother."
"When can I wear it?"
Jiang Wei’s mother bit off the thread and shook off the armor to ensure it was sewn correctly: "When you grow as tall as your father, you can."
Little Jiang Wei looked at the majestic armor, a look of longing flashing in his eyes: "That will take a long time, right?"
At this time.
On the other side.
Polar Star Company Headquarters.
President’s office.
Zhao Ming was looking through the Federation headline list.
It had been almost an afternoon.
The hot searches on the headlines were occupied by characters from the second batch of [Film Versions].
It was just a bit different from what he imagined.
Some tragic characters, or things that happened, could better impact the emotions of the people on the Blue Star side.
Looking at the list for an afternoon.
Some characters he had thought of, although they hit the list and sparked discussion.
But there was more discussion about those characters who had experienced tragic tragedies.
Just like Zhuge Liang’s experience, although it has been passed down for thousands of years.
But when the tragedy of Yan Yan Zhenqing’s Manuscript of the Sacrificial Nephew came out, it directly rushed to the top of the list.
Zhao Ming looked at the forum for a while, thought for a while, and understood.
On the Blue Star side, entertainment to death.
It has always been entertainment, cool, whatever is happy.
So there is very little acceptance of war and suffering, so when these tragic characters and stories appear on the big screen, for the Blue Star people who have been entertaining themselves for a long time.
The impact is not ordinary.
Thinking about it this way, the reason why the [WWII] series could explode is inseparable from this aspect.
After all, the suffering in [WWII] is something that the Blue Star side has not experienced or felt.
These characters in this batch of [Film Versions].
Were all carefully selected by Zhao Ming, but he didn't expect those tragic characters to be so attractive to Blue Star audiences.
In this way...
The direction for choosing characters for the third batch of [Film Versions] was also there.
Zhao Ming called up the database.
Replaced some of the characters for the third batch of [Film Versions] that were originally planned to be produced.
Must strike while the iron is hot.
With the current popularity of [Film Versions], for a long time in the future, it will be Polar Star’s market.
Sky Shark streaming platform.
In Fang Ming’s stream.
Fang Ming and the Blue Star netizens in the stream were watching the [Tianshui Tianshui Qilin] film version with full attention.
At this time.
Jiang Wei in the scene.
Had become a brave and good-fighting general.
But at this time, Shu Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang led the army out of Qishan, and Tianshui Prefect Ma Zun led the registrar, the meritorious officer, and Jiang Wei and others to patrol various places.
Suddenly, he received news of the Shu army’s movement, and heard that various counties were responding to the Shu army one after another, and for a time, he became suspicious, and no longer trusted the registrar, meritorious officer, and Jiang Wei and other generals around him.
So in the middle of the night, he abandoned all his subordinates.
Fled alone to Shanggui overnight.
When everyone reacted the next day, it was too late to chase, and after finally arriving at Shanggui, they found that the city gate was closed, and no matter how they called, it wouldn't open.
Helpless.
Everyone turned to Ji County.
But Ji County also didn't let Jiang Wei and others enter the city.
And the Shu army behind them had already appeared, looking at it, it was endless.
Jiang Wei and others could only surrender to Shu Han.
Afterward, he followed Shu Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang on the Northern Expedition, but Ma Su’s defeat at Jieting led to the failure of the Northern Expedition, and the Shu Han army withdrew, and Jiang Wei was forced to separate from his mother.
Seeing this.
The Blue Star netizens in the stream were stunned, and the bullet comments flew by:
【Holy crap? That Ma Zun is a bit too crazy, right? Because of suspicion, he ran away himself?】
【6666, what the hell?】
【Speaking of reason, anyone would be afraid if this happened to them. The Shu army is attacking, all the counties under his rule are responding to surrender, and there are so many people following him now, if one of them has a different heart, it will be ruined.】
【Upstairs, don't explain, he’s just cowardly, how did such a person become a prefect.】
【Laugh to death, not only did Shanggui not open the city gate, but Ji County didn't either, a group of people were packed and sent to Shu Han.】
【That’s right, laughed to death.】
Everyone didn't know what to say, this... it was alive and forced people over.
They arrived at a county and it didn't open the door, arrived at a county and it didn't open the door, and the Shu Han army was watching them behind them, they didn't have enough people to divide.
They could only surrender together.
Following Jiang Wei into Shu.
The scene gave to Prime Minister Zhuge.
Zhuge Liang added Jiang Wei as General of Righteousness, observing secretly and becoming more and more satisfied, even writing in a letter to Zhang Yi and Jiang Wan: "Jiang Wei is loyal and diligent in affairs, his thoughts are precise, and examining his talent, Li Shao, Ma Liang and others are not as good as him."
"This person is a scholar of Liangzhou."
The praise was undisguised.
And at this moment, Jiang Wei didn't know how lucky he would be.
The scene shifted.
After many tests, plus training troops well.
Zhuge Liang decided to pass on his skills to Jiang Wei.
In the scene.
Jiang Wei took off his armor and knelt on the ground with a respectful face, Zhuge Liang raised his hand to help him up, and then passed his Eight Formations to Jiang Wei.
Scenes flashed by one by one.
There was Jiang Wei reading by the lamp in the military tent.
There was Jiang Wei standing beside Zhuge Liang, watching Zhuge Liang’s command while explaining to him, Jiang Wei listening carefully.
There was Zhuge Liang entrusting the military book he wrote to Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei’s body trembling, bowing with tears in his eyes.
The scenes flashed rapidly.
Until white mourning clothes came into view, Zhuge Liang fell at Wuzhang Plains.
The big flag with [Recovering the Central Plains] fluttering in the wind, Jiang Wei looked at the four characters, his eyes firm.
But...
Things would not go as smoothly as he thought.
Although Jiang Wei had the heart to inherit Zhuge Liang’s legacy, after Zhuge Liang’s death, Jiang Wan and Fei Yi took charge one after another, and for 19 years, the entire Shu country upheld the policy of "protecting the country and governing the people, guarding the country."
Making the Shu Han in this period develop stably, but the military did not have much development.
And Jiang Wei’s promotion path was also very difficult.
From 234 to 247.
During this period, although there were small frictions, it was always impossible to launch a Northern Expedition.
Jiang Wei was promoted from General of Assisting Han to General of Suppressing the West, and then to Prefect of Liangzhou, before he could finally control part of the military autonomy.
But at this time, it had been 13 years since Zhuge Liang passed away.
Fei Yi explicitly limited Jiang Wei’s troop strength to "no more than ten thousand."
Until 253.
Fei Yi was assassinated by the Wei surrendered general Guo Xiu.
At this time, Jiang Wei took over the military power.
The same year.
Eastern Wu minister Zhuge Ke planned to take advantage of the great victory in Dongxing to launch a Northern Expedition, and sent someone to discuss with Jiang Wei to send troops together.
Jiang Wei agreed.
Spring of the 16th year of Yanxi (253)...
Summer of the 17th year of Yanxi (254)...
20th year of Yanxi (257)...
1st year of Jingyao (258)...
5th year of Jingyao (262).
On both sides of the Mang River, Wei and Shu armies confronted each other across the river.
Jiang Wei rode alone to the river bank, shouting Deng Ai’s name, inviting him to a battle.
But in the military camp on the opposite bank.
Deng Ai sat steadily, smiling without saying a word.
The confrontation and consumption between the two sides increased day by day, until the Shu army’s military rations were exhausted, the soldiers already had a vegetable color, and going to battle again would inevitably be a failure.
Middle of the night.
Jiang Wei stood in the military camp, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and couldn't help but pull out his sword and point to the sky and cry: "Heaven does not help Han!"
"Why! Why!!!"
Early the next morning.
The Wei army found that the Shu army on the opposite bank had quietly withdrawn last night.
6th year of Jingyao (263).
Jiang Wei heard that Wei famous general Zhong Hui was governing troops in Guanzhong, and submitted a memorial to Liu Shan, asking Liu Shan to send generals to guard the Yang'an Pass and Yinping Bridge to prevent problems before they happened.
But Liu Shan’s inner minister Huang Hao listened to the theory of ghosts and gods, telling Liu Shan that Wei would not attack, which ultimately led to Wei’s five-way attack on Shu, opening the war of destroying the country. When Zhong Hui entered Luogu and Deng Ai was about to enter Tazhong, Liu Shan reacted.
But it was too late.
In the situation of losing the opportunity, there was also Shu general Jiang Shu who opened the city and surrendered, the pass was easily taken, and he drove straight into the hinterland of Shu.
Jiang Wei learned that Zhong Hui entered Shu, and could only lead troops to withdraw and block, retreating while fighting.
But the Wei iron cavalry behind him chased relentlessly.
Until retreating to Jiange.
Although relying on the danger of Jiange, he blocked the main force of Wei.
But Deng Ai secretly crossed Yinping and broke through Chengdu, which made Jiang Wei, who was at the front, only get the news that Shu was destroyed and Liu Shan surrendered.
In the scene.
At the moment of receiving the news, Jiang Wei, with white hair on both temples, spat out a mouthful of blood and cried: "We are just about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first!!!"
In the military tent.
A group of generals gathered around, looking at Jiang Wei with concern, someone helped Jiang Wei who was about to faint.
The scene shifted.
It was late at night, Jiang Wei knelt in front of Zhuge Liang’s spirit tablet, his voice crying: "Jiang Wei is incompetent, misleading the country and the people."
"I have failed the Prime Minister’s heavy trust."
"I, Jiang Wei, am short of talent and wisdom, but my loyalty can be seen, and I will protect the foundation created by the late emperor even if I die."
It seemed that he had made up his mind.
Jiang Wei took out pen and ink, and a handwritten letter was sent to Chengdu.
Up to now.
After Zhuge Liang’s death, Jiang Wei presided over nine Northern Expeditions, but Heaven did not seem to be on the side of Shu Han.
The Blue Star netizens in the stream were sighing.
Turning their heads.
It was the scene of Jiang Wei surrendering to Zhong Hui.
This scene.
Made the Blue Star netizens in the stream a bit stunned.
No?
Just now he wanted to protect the foundation, why did he surrender in the blink of an eye?
The scene shifted.
When this letter was sent to Liu Shan’s hands.
Liu Shan had already accepted the fact that he had become a surrendered master, but when he opened the envelope, he still couldn't help but tremble: "I have a plan, which can make the Han family shine again, and be safe from danger."
"But please Your Majesty endure the humiliation of a few days..."
"..."
Although he didn't say it clearly.
But the Blue Star netizens in the stream had already guessed it.
Jiang Wei must be faking surrender.
This...
Is it a bit too bold?
According to the [Three Kingdoms] history they knew, Shu Han did not succeed in the end, which means Jiang Wei’s plan failed.
Then according to the scene just now.
In the historical records of later generations, Jiang Wei would probably be scolded as a traitor.
His posthumous name was all put in.
The Blue Star netizens in the stream had all played the [Huaxia] series, so naturally they knew how important the posthumous name was on this [Huaxia] land, especially in ancient times.
Just thinking about it.
Suddenly.
Liu Shan in the scene made a move that surprised everyone.
He didn't burn the letter.
Instead, he hid it carefully, and even felt it wasn't safe, changing many places to hide it.
This scene.
Made the Blue Star netizens’ heads buzz.
If this secret letter was discovered.
Liu Shan would probably be dismembered and die miserably.
The best way is to destroy it directly after reading it.
What is Liu Shan’s purpose in doing this?
The Blue Star netizens in the stream didn't understand.
Suddenly.
A bullet comment floated by:
【Perhaps... Liu Shan knows it’s impossible, but keeps the secret letter to vindicate Jiang Wei later?】
This bullet comment came out.
The stream was silent for a while.
This angle?
They hadn't thought about it, but looking at Liu Shan’s previous actions, would he really have such thoughts?
Maybe... would he?
Although they didn't dare to believe it, this seemed to be the answer closest to the truth.
Because once this kind of secret letter is exposed.
Then Liu Shan would definitely be tortured and killed.
After all, just be a mascot peacefully, but you want to restore the country?
Isn't it restoring the country?
Okay.
Then kill you, the last bloodline of Shu Han, and see who restores the country, and whose country they restore?
It can be said that Liu Shan is also betting his life.
This contrast.
Is a huge contrast to the scene of opening the city and surrendering, drinking and having fun with Wei generals in the hall before. ===== CHAPTER 291 =====
It was a stark contrast to the earlier scene of surrendering Kaicheng and drinking and making merry with the Wei generals in the palace.
