Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 699 - 337: [Jiang Wei: Heaven Does Not Favor Han...]
The two of them drew their swords and charged out.
At this moment.
A cacophony of battle cries filled the city, chaotic soldiers everywhere.
It was impossible to distinguish friend from foe.
Jiang Wei, clad in armor and wielding a long spear, led his personal guards towards the city gate.
He hoped to draw all the fire onto himself, giving Zhong Hui a chance to escape.
Because as long as Zhong Hui managed to escape and the plan continued, even if the Wei Kingdom survived, it would be heavily depleted.
But arrows rained down like a storm.
Soldiers fell one after another. Although Jiang Wei had reached the city gate, his personal guards had been almost completely wiped out.
Due to the hasty engagement, there was no time to gather his subordinates, and with so many chaotic soldiers, reaching the city gate had exhausted Jiang Wei’s last bit of strength, now facing a mass of chaotic forces.
Jiang Wei tried to make a final stand, but suddenly, an arrow pierced through his chest.
Jiang Wei spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered back a few steps, and leaned against the city wall, watching as the Wei Army surged around him like a tide, a deep sadness welled in his heart.
Just one more night! Just one more night!!!
Jiang Wei looked up at the bright moon in the sky, his heart filled with bitterness.
Prime Minister... Boyue has done his utmost.
Alas!
Heaven does not favor Han!
Jiang Wei took a deep breath, looked at the surrounding Wei Army on guard, knowing escape was impossible, he reversed his treasured sword towards his own heart:
"My plan has failed, it is the will of Heaven!!!"
Thud!
The sharp sword pierced through his heart, Jiang Wei leaned against the wall, his eyes already unfocused, he seemed to see Zhuge Liang’s figure smiling and beckoning to him, a weary, weak voice echoed in Jiang Wei’s heart.
Prime Minister... Wei... did his best...
The scene fell into darkness.
Then switched to another side.
Zhong Hui, disheveled and armor stained with blood, retreated while fighting under the cover of his guards.
However.
The Wei Army, surging from all directions, had surrounded him completely.
The voice of Inspector Wei Guan rang out loudly:
"Zhong Hui is plotting rebellion, kill him without mercy!"
Zhong Hui roared and swung his sword, but ultimately he was outnumbered.
Suddenly.
A spear pierced Zhong Hui’s chest from behind, he staggered a few steps and kneeled to the ground.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of unwillingness, he looked down at the spear piercing his chest, realizing he could not survive, at this moment only deep regret filled Zhong Hui’s eyes:
"It was I... who harmed Boyue..."
Before the words were finished, he was beset by chaos and swords.
This.....
Upon seeing this, the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room felt strangely stifled.
Suddenly Jiang Wei seemed almost sanctified.
Jiang Wei always used Zhong Hui in his calculations, but on the brink of death, Zhong Hui regretted that his side had failed to keep secrecy, harming Jiang Wei... what a twist.
In an instant.
The Blue Star netizens in the livestream room were at a loss for words.
Evidently, watching Jiang Wei’s intricacies unfold was thrilling and even filled with anticipation.
But then Zhong Hui’s unexpected turn of events.
Jiang Wei did right by Shu Kingdom, did right by Han, but he indeed let Zhong Hui down.....
For a moment, the Blue Star netizens’ minds were a battlefield between morality and wickedness.
The scene shifted again.
The father and son Deng Ai were being escorted in a prison carriage, looking haggard.
Yet their eyes had a glimmer of clarity, and the surrounding guards were cautious, for they too had received news of Zhong Hui’s rebellion.
The charges against Deng Ai and his son were clearly framed by Zhong Hui.
Except now, with no orders, they dared not release Deng Ai and his son.
They could only continue pressing on in the prison carriage.
Suddenly.
The sound of distant hoofbeats arose.
A contingent of cavalry galloped forward, the leading officer brandishing an order from Wei Guan:
"By the command of the inspector, Deng Ai and his son conspired with Zhong Hui in rebellion, execute them on the spot!"
Deng Ai’s pupils contracted sharply, as arrows whistled through the air:
"Wei Guan! You——"
The words abruptly stopped, and blood stained the earth.
Deng Ai and his son met their end.
Seeing this, the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room were flabbergasted.
Ruthless.
So ruthless.
This scheme by Jiang Wei not only claimed his own life but also directly led to the deaths of two renowned generals of Wei.
Originally, they thought Deng Ai would be safe.
But then there was such a reversal.
In this light, the inspector Wei Guan turned out to be the biggest inadvertent winner.
Initially, he conspired with Zhong Hui to frame Deng Ai.
Then, upon receiving news of Zhong Hui’s rebellion, he killed both Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui in one fell swoop.
Lastly, as Zhong Hui was a rebel, Deng Ai was surely innocent.
But fearing Deng Ai would seek revenge later, he ambushed and killed Deng Ai and his son midway.
Such improbable luck....
It’s simply outrageous.
Of course.
It can’t be said his actions were outrageous, his methods were very ruthless.
After all, sending someone to pursue and kill Deng Ai and his son showed he was a ruthless person, many have suffered from not eradicating completely, yet this guy eradicated thoroughly.
The Blue Star netizens marveled.
The scene switched again to Luoyang.
At this moment.
Luoyang, Anle Duke’s mansion.
Liu Shan was holding a banquet, the courtyard filled with officials and dignitaries indulging in drinking and revelry.
These officials and dignitaries seemed to know something, whilst indulging, they frequently glanced at Liu Shan.
At that moment.
A servant hurried into the courtyard, whispering something in Liu Shan’s ear.
Liu Shan listened while raising his wine cup, waving his hand:
"Alright, I know."
Many in the courtyard were aware of what was going on.
They also knew what message the servant conveyed to Liu Shan.
But Liu Shan’s indifferent demeanor.
Made them doubt their assumptions, perhaps they were wrong.
However, recalling Liu Shan’s deeds post-surrender,
it seemed they were merely overly suspicious, and looking at Liu Shan now, he did not show any sorrow, otherwise, he would surely show some flaw.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, pretending nothing happened, they continued with their drinking and revelry.
