Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 700 - 337: [Jiang Wei: Heaven Does Not Favor Han...]
It wasn’t until Liu Shan drank himself into a stupor that the gathering ended.
After Liu Shan was carried back to his room and all the servants had left.
As he lay on the bed, tears slid from the corner of Liu Shan’s eyes, his mind echoing with the servant’s voice:
"Great General Jiang Wei... was sentenced to death by dismemberment... the body... could not be preserved..."
Liu Shan’s palm suddenly clenched tightly, his nails deeply embedded in his palm.
After a long while.
Liu Shan, red-eyed, got up and found Jiang Wei’s secret letter to him in a hidden spot in the room.
"I have a plan that could surely bring the Han dynasty from obscurity to clarity, from danger to peace."
"But please, Your Majesty, endure several days of humiliation...."
At this time, Jiang Wei was already dead.
Destroying the secret letter was the best choice.
This way, Liu Shan’s later life would be carefree.
However, Liu Shan made a choice that surprised all the Blue Star users; he did not destroy the secret letter, but folded it up and hid it again.
None of the Blue Star users knew what Liu Shan was thinking, and in the plot, it was destined that no one would know what Liu Shan was thinking.
The scene ends here.
The bullet screen discussion in the livestream room continued, still reflecting on [Jiang Wei]’s life.
Compared to the previous two, Jiang Wei’s experience was more dramatic, especially his final sacrifice, which drew much discussion among Blue Star users.
Many Blue Star users believed that Jiang Wei’s words ’If my plan fails, it is destiny’ were perfectly reasonable.
Who would have thought.
After scheming for so long, a mishap occurred on the night before the uprising, and the news was leaked out.
If only it had been a day later.
Not even a whole day; just enduring through the night until the next day’s daylight would have rewritten the subsequent history.
Regrettably....
The heavens did not favor Han.
It couldn’t be helped.
At the same time, people were discussing why Liu Shan kept that letter, because burning it would have been a relief, as Jiang Wei was already dead, leaving no chance for confrontation.
At this moment.
A line of analysis floated by on the bullet screen:
[Jiang Wei did not betray Shu, nor did Liu Shan want to betray Jiang Wei. If this letter could be rediscovered in future generations, it would clear Jiang Wei’s name.]
[Otherwise, Jiang Wei would forever be seen as a treacherous minister who caused the downfall of Shu.]
[But in reality, only Liu Shan knew what really happened.]
[Many who haven’t played [Huaxia] might not know that the moral standards of ancient Huaxia were very high, so you’ll find that the earlier the dynasty in the timeline, the more they valued their posthumous reputation.]
[Jiang Wei bet his posthumous name.]
[Success would naturally be good.]
[But he lost the bet.... he would become a traitor condemned for thousands of years after his death.]
[And Liu Shan was the only one who knew the truth.]
[If this letter wasn’t preserved, Jiang Wei would forever be a traitor, recorded in history as a treacherous minister. But if Liu Shan preserved this letter and it was passed down and exposed in later generations.]
[Then Jiang Wei would be rehabilitated. He wasn’t a treacherous minister, nor a traitor.]
[He was the last loyal soul of Shu Han, a flame burning itself out to try to illuminate the remnants of the old country.]
[Zhuge Liang’s six sorties to Qishan and Jiang Wei’s nine campaigns against the Central Plains were never for themselves, but to restore the Great Han. With such loyal ministers and brave generals, how could Liu Shan bear to let him carry a curse for all eternity.]
[If you study the [Huaxia] history series closely, you’ll find that the romance of these ancient [Huaxia] people is truly captivating.]
The Blue Star viewers in the livestream room were astounded by this analysis, and upon further reflection, it made sense.
Watching this analysis on the bullet screen, Fang Ming couldn’t help but nod:
"The ’romance’ of these ancient [Huaxia] people is indeed captivating."
"Speaking of."
"Polestar’s adaptations are really intense; they’re all interconnected."
"I searched, and there are versions featuring both [Zhong Hui] and [Deng Ai]."
"Makes me want to watch them directly."
"I feel like these two have quite interesting lives as well."
"Especially Zhong Hui’s last words..... sigh."
"But I should follow the ranking screenshots and watch through them first."
"The next one is Wu Zixu."
"The Warring States period in the [Huaxia] history series hasn’t been unlocked yet, so it’s just right to get a sense of it through this adaptation."
