——Zuo Si's "Ode to the Capital of Shu"
After Zhuge Wuhou set up a workshop to weave Shu brocade, Chengdu became known as Jinguancheng.
During the Han Dynasty, Chengdu developed rapidly. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Chengdu became a metropolis second only to Chang'an.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people everywhere in the world were exchanging their sons and eating their bones, but Chengdu was prosperous. When Liu Bei's tens of thousands of horses entered Shu, Liu Zhang feasted on his soldiers for several days.
In recent years, Liu Chan, the Lord of Shu, has carried out extensive construction projects, making Chengdu more prosperous.
Nowadays, there is war and chaos outside the city, and people are in panic, but there are still singing and dancing in the Chongli Hall.
The dancers raised their sleeves and bent their waists gracefully, dancing to the rhythm of silk and bamboo orchestral music.
Liu Chan, the Lord of Shu, watched with fascination.
But today's gathering, in addition to Huang Hao, also invited the Northern King Liu Chen, Shangshu Ling Fan Jian, Zhongsan official Qiao Zhou, Chariot and Cavalry General Xia Houba, as well as Qie Zheng, Zhang Shao and others.
Everyone is distracted.
The Liang army was marching towards Chengdu with great momentum, and no one except Liu Chan had the time to enjoy the singing and dancing.
Even the dancer's face lost a bit of its usual beauty.
Zhuge Zhan and his son, Zhang Zun, Huang Chong, and Li Qiu were all killed in the battle, which had a huge impact on the morale of the people of Shu.
The soul of Shu lies in Zhuge Wuhou. What Zhuge Zhan lost was not only Chengdu’s last troops, but also the confidence and morale of the Shu people!
I once had high hopes for Zhuge Zhan, but now I am disappointed.
In fact, Chengdu at this time had become an isolated city, and all the surrounding cities and villages had fled.
The reputation of Liang's army is known all over the world, and they slaughter cities and build capitals at every turn. How has the gentle and soft Shu Zhong seen such bloody fighting?
Liu Chen, the king of the North, was the first to be unable to sit still and waved his hands distractedly, "Go down, go down!"
The singing and dancing came to an abrupt end, and the dancers and musicians gave a hasty salute and fled in a hurry.
"Hey - why are you doing this?" Liu Chan had a good temper and didn't feel dissatisfied at all.
"General Wei and his son were killed in battle, 50,000 troops were lost, and Chengdu's troops were empty. What can be done about the current situation?"
"What can be done?" Liu Chan looked at the palace beam.
Huang Hao said in a bitter tone: "Everyone has received great favor from the country, but they have no good plan, yet they come to embarrass Your Majesty!"
It's okay if he doesn't speak, but when he speaks, he immediately attracts everyone's hostile looks.
"If you hadn't been cunning and dedicated to disrupting the country's affairs, how could the country be like this?" The person Liu Chen hated most was Huang Hao.
I didn't dare to say many things before, but now I have nothing to fear.
Others would either follow suit and scold Huang Hao, or kneel down and ask Liu Chan to kill Huang Hao to correct the rule of law...
There was chaos in the palace.
It seems that as long as Huang Hao is killed, the Liang army outside the city will not be a concern.
Liu Chan sighed again and looked on with cold eyes. The palace gradually became quiet, "Master Qiao, what do you think?"

During the reign of the late emperor, Qiao Zhou served as the prince's servant, the prince's family magistrate, and Guanglu doctor, etc. He was regarded as Liu Chan's mentor.
When Zhuge Wuhou was the prime minister, Qiao Zhou was engaged in promoting learning, and he was a scholar in Shu. His status was like that of Yang Zhen and Zheng Xuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his influence was huge.
Qiao Zhou cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has his own plan, why do you need to ask the old minister?"
"Why do you need to ask? Let Chengdu Jianfu go to the city wall to guard!" Liu Chen said anxiously.
But the more anxious Liu Chan became, the less he cared about him. He looked at Xiahou Ba, his eyes brightened rarely, "What do you think, General Chariot and Cavalry?"
At this time, Xiahou Ba was nearly seventy years old and had lived a good life in Shuzhong in the past few years. "Reporting to your majesty, there are more than 10,000 garrison troops in Nanzhong and 7,000 garrison troops in Yong'an. They can be transferred back to King Qin of Chengdu. Zhong Hui will be
We have been blocked in Jiange for more than half a year, and our food and grass are almost exhausted. I thought that the general would have good news soon."
The eyes of everyone looking at Xiahou Ba suddenly became much gentler.
Xiahou Ba said what he said but didn't say it at all. It seemed that he was thinking about Shu, but in fact he was just picking up people's wisdom. How to defend himself, Shangshu Ling Fan Jian had already made arrangements.
Liu Chan shook his head gently, "In that case, we might as well wait a few more days."
Since so many elders didn't express their opinions, he continued to wait and see.
In fact, there are not many young men in Chengdu anymore. More than 30,000 of Zhuge Dan's 50,000-strong army were recruited by Chengdu.
Those who stayed in Chengdu had already lost their courage.
Huang Hao's eyes flashed, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Chan waved his sleeves and stopped him.
No matter what Huang Hao says or does at this time, it is wrong and will only exacerbate the further division between the DPRK and China.
After the banquet was over, Xiahou Ba and Qiao Zhou were left behind as expected.
There were only four people in the inner hall.
Liu Chan, Xia Houba, Qiao Zhou, and Huang Hao.
There are many things that are difficult to say outside, but when you get here, you can speak freely.
"Chengdu has no troops to defend, and support from all sides is insufficient. Today is a war or... a surrender. You two can make it clear." Liu Chan did not talk nonsense.
When the Shu Kingdom arrived today, not only did the 30,000 Liang troops march in, but the people's hearts were dispersed.
Xiahou Ba frowned and did not dare to answer.
Qiao Zhou said: "I watched the sky at night and saw that the strength of the Han Dynasty was exhausted. The army in the northwest was defeated by Di Wei. The one who defeated the army was Yin Jin, which corresponded to the energy of Jin Ge in the northwest. The greedy wolf in Yang Zheng's life is now the greedy wolf.
Hanging in the Zi, the second palace of Wu is guarding the order, and the terrain must be broken by the army. In the battle of Feng Yi, Sima Zhao's army of more than 200,000 people was wiped out. Yang Zheng was greedy for the wolf, and there were seven kills on the ground. If Cheng did not surrender, then
Also entering the seven-kill situation!"
Liu Chan followed Qiao Zhou to learn the Book of Changes when he was young, so he could naturally understand it.
If Chengdu doesn't surrender, blood will flow everywhere.
Liu Chan came to Xiahou Ba for a detailed discussion, and he already had a surrender intention in his heart.
Guan Yu's defeat in Maicheng, the defeat of the late emperor Xiaoting, the defeat of Zhuge Wuhou Jieting, and the defeat of Jiang Wei Duangu all depleted the vitality of Shu, depleted the enthusiasm of the people, and depleted Liu Chan's spirit.
There are not many strong men left who tried to restore the Han Dynasty.
Even if Du Yu hadn't sneaked into Yinping this time, the Kingdom of Shu had actually come to an end.
The people are war-weary, the country is exhausted, and the people's morale is so high. How can Jiang Wei alone change the situation?
"Will the world eventually be won by Yang Xingyun?" A trace of loneliness appeared on Liu Chan's face.
"Whether the world will fall into Yang Zheng's hands is yet to be determined. However, after Feng Yi's battle, the conflict between the East and the West has become a foregone conclusion. If the Sima family uses deceitful power to seize the country, how can their descendants last long? There will be great disaster in the future."
Qiao Zhou was a great scholar in Shu, so he naturally looked down upon the actions of the Sima family.
Especially in the past few years, there have been more storytellers and actors in Shu. They have compiled stories and operas about the Gaopingling Incident, the Oath of Luoshui, the beheading of celebrities, and a series of vicious events of the Sima family, and performed them back and forth in Shu.
Everyone knows it.
This also made the Shu sergeants re-examine the moral issues of the Sima family.
