When the Chu army was besieged Hanyang, Liu Bei sadly anticipated the fate of the Chu state. The clearer he became, the more painful he became. An indescribable pain spread from his heart, growing rapidly like a sprouting vine, spreading all over his body. throughout.
His whole body was pricked by the growing vines, and his whole body ached.
People suddenly become older.
The turbid eyes no longer had the vigorous vitality, and became dim, truly like a dying old man. When he got up and returned, he didn't want to show his sorrow to Zhang Xiu, so he forced himself to walk out and put down some of his luxurious clothes. In fact, his true heart was completely opposite.
When he walked into the cabin where Zhang Xiu could not see, Liu Bei felt a tearing pain in his chest, as if someone had cut open his chest with a sharp blade and taken out his heart. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. Suddenly, he felt the world spinning before his eyes, and he fell limply, his snow-white beard and silver clothes dyed red with blood.
"Your Majesty... your Majesty... ah!"
Seeing Liu Bei like this, Chen Deng felt that his internal organs were burning and he was in pain. He supported Liu Bei who was about to fall. He was so sad that he burst into tears. This was the master he had followed all his life! This is a heroic figure who lasted for decades in the Han Dynasty!
The founding emperor of Da Chu.
He was also the subjugated emperor of Chu.
The cabin was full of Liu Bei's confidants for many years. Seeing Liu Bei like this, everyone was heartbroken. Everyone could not suppress the grief in their hearts and shed tears one after another.
His vision was dark, and mournful cries could be heard clearly in his ears. From the sound, he could tell who was crying. They were veterans who had been with him for decades, and their voices were very familiar to him.
He struggled to open his eyes, and Liu Bei's eyes looked dull. He swept them one by one, and forced a smile on his face: "The Han Dynasty destroyed Jingxing, and the change of dynasties is unstoppable. I don't know how high the sky and the earth are, how long can I continue to force myself to be a big man?" For ten years, as a descendant of the Liu family, I have done my best, and as the last loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, you have done your best!"
"emperor!"
Chen Deng knelt at Liu Bei's feet: "We in Chu State still have 50,000 elite soldiers, and Jianye and other places are still in the hands of our army. As long as we break out and seek development, there will definitely be a glimmer of hope! Please..."
Before Chen Deng could finish his words, Liu Bei waved his hand and shook his head: "If you can't break out, Zhang Xiu is here in person. Do you think he will let me go back alive? I have suffered for many years and have not shown any kindness to the people of Yangzhou. I don't want to Let them suffer from the war again.”
He looked at his confidants: "These years, you have been traveling with me and have never enjoyed the glory and wealth. I owe you. Zhang Xiu is a benevolent king who governs the country and benefits all people. After my death, you must be good officials and benefit the people." "
"One minister does not serve two masters. I... am willing to go with the emperor!" Chen Deng said these words loudly, his voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
At this moment, Tan Ma came in from outside the cabin and reported hurriedly: "Your Majesty! Jianye was captured by Chen Dao, Wei Yan, and Zhang Xian. Prime Minister Chen committed suicide and the prince was captured!"
"Buzz..."
After hearing this, Liu Bei's head exploded immediately. There was a constant buzzing in his ears. He could no longer hear any sounds from the outside world. It was as if he was cut off by something invisible. Chen Gong's old face appeared in front of his eyes. , then flashed into the wrinkled faces of his parents with kind eyes, then Cao Cao's, Zhang Xiu's, Yuan Shao's, Yuan Shu's... Finally, Liu Chan's lovely face appeared, but at this moment Liu Chan's face was A look of panic and fear.
Standing in the chaotic city without any friends, at a loss, and terrified.
He couldn't hear what Liu Chan was saying, but he knew that his son must be looking for him and seeking his asylum.
"Zen'er!"
Liu Bei stood up suddenly, stretched out his arms as if to hug his son, cried out sadly with red eyes and tears, and fell straight back.
No one could react in time and watched helplessly as Liu Bei's body fell heavily to the ground.
After this fall, Liu Bei never got up again.
He did not embrace Liu Chan, nor could he embrace Jiangshan. He left this world of strife with endless regrets. The Chu State also officially perished at this moment.
Chen Deng rushed over to him on his knees and crawled to the ground, and felt that Liu Bei had no pulse. He could not accept this fact, and knocked his head hard on the board of the ship. He shouted incoherently to the emperor, crying continuously, and his forehead had been bruised. The floor has been stained red.
Other close ministers were grieved.
When the ship returned to Hanyang, the whole Chu army changed its atmosphere. The whole army wore mourning and hung white sails. What was carried out from the ship were two corpses, one belonging to Liu Bei and the other to Chen Deng.
Chen Deng died of addiction.
Liu Bei's death quickly spread throughout the world. After Zhang Xiu learned that Liu Bei had passed away, his heart ached. Looking at the world, there were only two enemies who were qualified to put him in his eyes, Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Now they all follow His country died, his body died, and his old friends faded away, leaving him with a feeling of loneliness and loneliness.
Liu Bei passed away and Chu State surrendered.
Chu armies from all over the country gave up resistance one after another and accepted the incorporation of Jing's army. Yangzhou and Jiaozhou officially became the territory of Jingguo, and the world that had been broken for decades was finally unified.
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was in celebration.
But here in Hanyang, it was a different scene. The important ministers of the Chu State who were loyal to Liu Bei wore sackcloth and mourning to keep vigil for Liu Bei and their emperor. The city of Hanyang was completely deserted.
Zhang Xiu led three thousand Jinggan troops to Hanyang City.
Looking at Hanyang City, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but sigh: "Hanyang Hanyang, I didn't expect to become the last place of decline for Chu and Han. From today on, this city will no longer be called Hanyang City, but will be changed to Hanluo City!" After that, he took it with him. People enter the city.
Hanyang city defense had already been taken over by the Jing army.
Lu Xun, Ding Feng and others greeted the emperor's arrival at the city gate early. The old ministers of Chu State also came to the city gate to wait for the arrival of Emperor Jingguo. Two waves of people stood in two teams, with expressions on their faces facing each other. Lu Xun and others were even more happy. The world was unified, the old ministers of Chu State were filled with grief, and the Emperor of Chu passed away.
Approaching the city entrance, the joy of unifying the world in Zhang Xiu's heart was diluted a lot, and the look on his face became serious.
In any case, Liu Bei's death is of great historical significance, heralding the complete end of the Han Dynasty for more than four hundred years, and the unification of the world. Although Zhang Xiu always wanted to kill Liu Bei and then hurry up, after all, they are heroes who cherish each other. There was some sadness in my heart.
Seeing Zhang Xiu's serious expression, Lu Xun and others quickly stopped smiling.
Everyone knelt down to welcome the emperor's arrival.
Zhang Xiu first helped Lu Xun and others up, saying thank you for your hard work, and then helped the old ministers of Chu state up, "You are all loyal ministers, and I respect your loyalty. The Emperor of Chu has passed away, and I express my condolences to you all!"
These Chu ministers did not expect that Zhang Xiu would be so approachable, and they were all a little moved.
