Mentioning the life of Liu Chan, the lord of the Shu Dynasty, it can be said that it is a legend and a wonderful life, and a lifetime of ups and downs.
Speaking of Liu Chan's father Liu Bei, a grassroots who sold straw shoes, he claimed that his ancestors were queens of Zhongshan Jing. It is said that the number of children born by King Jing of Zhongshan is very large, and he can't recognize them all for a long time, and the royal descendants have been bred and passed down for hundreds of years, even if Liu Bei is really a royal family member because of his surname Liu, it is not good to be related to the current emperor's blood relationship five times early, who still recognizes you as an imperial uncle? However, although Liu Bei's family was in the middle of the road, but the conditions of the family can still read for several years, the teacher is Lu Zhi's classmate is Gongsun Zhan, in the Han Dynasty, where the illiteracy rate is extremely high and there is no imperial examination as a promotion channel, it can also be regarded as a cultural person who does not fall into his ambitions. However, in the era of the "inspection system", although he was a "royal uncle" because no one recommended him, there was no promotion channel, and Liu Bei was just an ordinary Bai Ding Su in his early years, no different from the common people. That is to say, in the later period, Liu Bei was able to become a tyrant who divided the side, and he also worked hard from scratch.
Liu Bei did not know whether it was due to the fact that he had no time to have children or that his own seeds were not good, he had lived for more than forty years and married two wives, Lady Gan and Lady Mi, and had no sons, and seeing that his heirs were thin and had no heirs, he could only adopt his son Liu Feng. In ancient times, what was the concept of flesh and bones in their forties without their own flesh and bones? First of all, the average life expectancy of people in ancient times was not less than forty years old, the medical conditions were extremely poor, and casually contracting a disease such as cold, fever, tetanus and the like could take a person's life, and the average life expectancy was less than thirty years old in the war years at the end of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, Cao Cao, a political enemy who was five years older than Liu Bei, and the eldest grandson Cao Rui were three years older than Liu Chan, to see how strong Cao Cao's fertility was? His own descendants are full of branches and leaves, and there are more than twenty sons who have old acquaintances liu Bei but have no children under their knees, and there is really no harm without comparison. It is said that Liu Bei had two daughters earlier, and their names are not recorded in the history books, but unfortunately they could not escape in the Battle of Changshanpo and were chased by the Cao Army's tigers and leopards, and the result can be imagined, the two girls were captured by the enemy in the midst of the chaos, at this time it was a luxury to want to wipe their necks and commit suicide. Liu Chan, who was in his infancy, was lucky, and Lady Mi, who was seriously injured, met Liu Bei's right-hand man Zhao Yun, knew that he was unable to move and could not run, and handed the child over to Zhao Yun and committed suicide. Then, with the blessing of the netizens' funny passages, Liu Chan joined hands with General Zhao Yun to kill the enemy troops seven times in and seven out in the Cao Army. Finally, when Changsaka Bridge handed the child over to Liu Bei, Liu Bei was so angry that he threw the child to the ground, seriously suspecting that Liu Chan's brain was broken by his father at this time. Of course, Liu Bei's old man came to have a son, and that mentality was like Li Shuangjiang's spoiling of his old son as a baby, and it seemed to be a very normal thing to get used to it.
Liu Bei's defeat at the Battle of Yiling caused him to lose the family foundation he had accumulated all his life in Yizhou, and the Wei forces led by Cao Pi in the outer north looked at Shu Han and launched rebellions against the local powerful people in Neiyi Prefecture to oppose this foreign regime. At this time, Liu Chan began to have only Chengdu and Jiangzhou, and there were rebellions in the rest of the region, liu Chan, who had no experience in leading his father to lead troops to fight, could only admit that "Xiang Father" Zhuge Liang acted as a firefighter to quell the rebellion, and after quelling the rebellion, Liu Chan took advantage of the unstable situation within Cao Wei when Cao Pi died and his new heir Cao Rui succeeded cao Wei, and in 227 AD, he ordered Zhuge Liang to go on a northern expedition to unify the Central Plains.
Unfortunately, years of war and turmoil had originally led to the fatigue of the people's livelihood in Yizhou, and Zhuge Liang and his successor Jiang Wei did not hesitate to brave the tremendous pressure of "one mine to fight nine mines" to face the difficulties in order to support the Han Chamber, and if they won the war, they earned, and when they lost, they retreated to Hanzhong and closed the door, resulting in yizhou's more and more poor people's livelihood, so that the Eastern Wu envoys sent envoys to Shu Han to see that the local people were malnourished and had vegetables.
But then again, Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei should still fight a war, and although Liu Chan did not want the powerful ministers to seize military power and eventually sit up, he did not stop them from fighting. Xiang Father is old, big things, small things, trivial things, everything has to be done, since Xiang Father's desire to control power is so strong, then consume him! It was not easy to survive the death of Xiang Father, Jiang Wei claimed to be Zhuge Liang's heir, then limited his military power, cut down the number of his army and asked him to play with Wei, resulting in Jiang Wei only being able to take more than 10,000 people with him on each expedition, and even if he won a partial victory, he could not expand the results. As for myself, playing with Huang Haodou, no one interferes with anyone. At this time, Jiang Wei, because he did not have the influence of his teacher Zhuge Liang, and had once formed a grudge with Huang Hao in the court, lest he spread rumors and slander in front of the emperor, Jiang Wei could only lead his troops to plant wheat in Qinghai and hoard military food to avoid causing trouble.
In 263, Sima Zhao sent a three-way army to cut down Shu, and Jiang Wei was deadlocked by the main Force of the Wei army led by Yinping and Zhong Hui, at this time Deng Ai led his men and horses to cross the mountains and mountains and cut thorns and detour through Yinping to attack Jiangyou and Fuling to take Chengdu. Zhuge Liang's son-in-law Liu Chan's son-in-law Zhuge Zhan was originally a prodigal son with no experience in leading troops, and did not inherit the military ability of his father in the slightest, and when he led the troops to help Mianzhu, he actually chose to fight with Deng Ai's border army, which had experienced hundreds of battles. As a result, no accident occurred, Zhuge Zhan's father and son died in battle, and this second generation of officials who were not even as good as Zhao Kuo on paper did not have the ability to inherit their father or buried their father's wisdom, and it was really a pity to live and hate to die. Of course, Zhuge Zhan did not fail in his mission, at least he was killed in battle and did not surrender.
At this time, the Chengdu Plain in the Sichuan Basin had no danger to defend, just like the door was wide open waiting for the enemy army to give and demand, Liu Chan surrendered to Liu Chan under the persuasion of the "lords and factions" such as Chen Zhou, and the fifth son Liu Chen saw this situation and hated his father for not being angry and committing suicide.
At this time, Jiang Wei saw that Liu Chan had surrendered to Deng Ai and issued an edict urging him to surrender to the neighboring Wei commander Zhong Hui. Since the Emperor of Shu Han had surrendered, there was no point in Jiang Wei, a Shu Han courtier, trying to resist to the end. And Jiang Wei also noticed that the two Cao Wei generals who participated in the conquest of Shu Han at this time were at odds with each other, after all, Deng Ai was only a partial teacher who broke the local crystal by stealing his home, and the credit must be great. Zhong Hui, as the commander of this army, was above Deng Ai, and if he went back to reward his military commander for his merits, he was one head shorter than this subordinate. Besides, Zhong Hui was also the kind of ambitionist who liked to draw a scoop according to the gourd, at this time, Sima Shi had completely controlled the government of Cao Wei, and the emperor of the Cao family was already a virtual puppet, and there were some things sima Zhao could do that he Why couldn't Zhong Hui do it?
Jiang Wei saw that there was an article that could be used to write a letter to liu chan not to be impatient, he was ready to counterattack and help Liu Chan restore Shu Han, if Liu Chan could not ask Cao Wei's control, he hoped to make the crown prince Liu Xuan emperor, after all, at an extraordinary time, the king was light and the main thing was important. On the other hand, he instigated Zhong Hui to control the Wei army mutiny rebellion as the commander of the Wei army, and falsely accused Deng Ai's father and son of plotting to disobey and deprive him of his military power. In the end, he used the support of Zhong Hui as a bait to establish a self-reliant portal in Shuzhong, and when the time was ripe to get rid of Zhong Hui, he would restore Shu Han to welcome Liu Chan back or support the crown prince Liu Xuan as emperor.
Unfortunately, the majority of wei soldiers did not buy Zhong Hui's account, and after receiving Zhong Hui's orders, they mutinied and killed Zhong Hui, Jiang Wei and others. After all, the families of these big-headed soldiers were still controlled by Sima Zhao in the Central Plains, and they followed Zhong Hui to rebel against Sima Zhao, didn't they engage in a great purge and make their families angry? Moreover, after years of conquest of military and civilian fatigue, the soldiers far away from their homeland to follow Zhong Hui to conquer Shu Han, now successful has become a rebel soldier, in the vicinity of Chengdu wantonly burning and looting zero yuan to buy a large amount of wealth, they now only want to be able to return to their homeland with wealth to enjoy a prosperous and stable life, is not to follow Zhong Hui will continue to live a desperate life with his head tied to the waistband of his pants and licking blood with a knife head.
Therefore, Liu Chan, who had become a hostage in Luoyang, watched the crown prince Liu Xuan and the general Jiang Wei being killed, and I am afraid that the last glimmer of hope for the revival of Shu Han was shattered. He also pretended to be stupid in front of An Legong, only begging Sima Zhao not to kill him.
