Chapter 333: Three Kingdoms Late Heroes (3)
"His story is quite long."
Wang Lun said this to Sasha.
"I'm interested in all of them."
Sasha's eyes lit up and she said happily, as happy as if she saw her favorite sweet potatoes.
"Using copper as a mirror, one can adjust one's attire; using people as a mirror, one can understand gains and losses; using history as a mirror, one can understand the rise and fall of things."
Wang Lun quoted from classics and believed that Sasha was a person who loved to learn culture and history.
……
In October of the 263rd year of the Giant Calendar (the fourth year of Jingyuan), Zhong Hui pinned Jiang Wei in Jiange, and Deng Ai led his army from Yinping, more than miles south of Jiange.
Along the way, he led his troops to climb trails and carve roads through mountains.
"What are these swordsmen doing here?"
Looking at the rugged mountain road and the dangerous obstructions, Sasha wondered.
"Haha, I find it strange too. What on earth does he want to do?"
Wang Lun also discovered that the place they were passing through was extremely dangerous with high mountains and deep valleys.
After an unknown amount of time, Deng Ai's troops arrived at [Ma Ge Mountain].
“They can’t leave.”
Sasha was floating in the air and found that there was no road ahead, so she spoke as if gloating.
"The mountain man has his own clever plan."
As soon as Wang Lun finished speaking, Deng Ai wrapped himself in felt and rolled down the hillside.
Seeing this operation, Sasha sighed: "What a ruthless person."
Unnoticed, they arrived in Jiangyou.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The Shu soldiers guarding Jiangyou City shouted.
However, Deng Ai's troops were all elite soldiers and were not afraid of the old, weak and disabled soldiers guarding the city.
At the foot of the city, Deng Ai raised his spear and shouted: "We are the divine soldiers sent from heaven, so don't resist stubbornly."
The defending general Ma Miao was so frightened when he heard this that he trembled. One of his lieutenants suggested surrendering.
"But……"
Ma Miao hesitated to speak, and seemed to be unable to make up his mind.
"If you don't open the city gates, we will not accept your surrender and will massacre all the men and women in the city!"
Deng Ai's son Deng Zhong continued to threaten.
"Don't do this. We have decided to surrender."
The deputy general helped Ma Miao make the decision.
"whee."
Deng Zhong laughed in his heart, thinking that his plan was about to succeed.
"Why is the garrison here so weak?"
Sasha looked at Ma Miao in front of her and said in disbelief.
"After several generations, they have long forgotten the kindness of their first lord Liu Bei, and are only looking forward to submitting to the more powerful Cao Wei as soon as possible."
Wang Lun (subsystem An'an) explained in this way, explaining the surrender of the defenders.
After a loud "boom", the gate of Jiangyou City opened, and Deng Ai's troops took the first line of defense towards Chengdu without bloodshed.
"We will not kill you. You will remain as your defender, but from now on you will submit to Cao Wei."
After entering the city, Deng Ai said this to Ma Miao who was lying on the ground.
After waiting for the army to rest, Deng Ai sent out a surprise attack on Mianzhu.
……
"Are you the vanguard troops of Wei?"
In Mianzhu, Zhuge Zhan and Zhang Zun had already been guarding here.
Facing Deng Ai's troops (Deng Zhong and Shi Zuan's vanguard troops), Zhang Zun rode his horse with his gun in hand and asked questions there.
"That's right, the enemy general will die soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Zhong came up with a knife in hand to challenge him.
After a loud "clang", Deng Zhong and Zhang Zun started fighting.
"Why does this Zhang Zun look so familiar?"
Looking at the two people fighting fiercely, Sasha pointed at the general holding the gun and asked in confusion.
"Good eyesight, this Zhang Zun is actually Zhang Fei's grandson."
Wang Lun (subsystem An'an) explained and told the origin of this general.
"I guess the generals behind him are not simple either."
Sasha continued to speculate based on the circumstances of the scene.
"Yes, this is also a powerful person."
Wang Lun said this, but without the system, he was not sure.
The person behind Zhang Zun was Zhuge Liang's son, Zhuge Zhan.
"Haha, I mean, this general is so similar to Zhuge Liang."
Sasha pointed at the general behind her and smiled innocently.
"These generals are descendants of important generals of Shu (heroes of the late Three Kingdoms period). They can be said to be [hereditary], and then they became governors of some places (including but not limited to these important positions)."
Wang Lun (Subsystem An'an) explained, confirming what Sasha thought.
"You're quite good at this."
The generals in front (Deng Zhong and Zhang Zun) fought for a long time. Deng Zhong found it difficult to win for a while, so he praised Zhang Zun.
"In that case, withdraw your troops immediately!"
Zhang Zun used his gun to block his opponent's sword and gave advice.
"General, let's retreat for now."
Seeing that Deng Zhong was unable to defeat Zhang Zun, Shi Zuan also tried to persuade him.
Indeed, Mianzhu City was strong and they were well-rested, so it was very difficult to attack by force.
As a result, Deng Zhong and Shi Zuan were defeated and retreated back to Jiangyou City.
"What do you eat?"
In the [Military Hall? Jiangyou City], Deng Ai said angrily.
Deng Zhong and Shi Zuan were so ashamed that they dared not say a word when being scolded.
"Now is a matter of life and death. If we take over that place (Mianzhu), Shu will be in danger."
Deng Ai then talked about the importance of capturing Mianzhu.
When the generals present heard this, a strong fighting spirit was ignited in their hearts.
……
"A defeated general, do you still have the face to come back?"
Deng Ai took the [Token of Wei State] and personally led the elite troops to attack Mianzhu.
When Zhang Zun saw Deng Zhong, he joked.
Deng Zhong blushed and said nothing, while Deng Ai began to reply: "It only takes us half a day to take this place."
"You bold lunatic, this is your grave."
Zhang Zun cursed at this man who was about the same age as his father.
"You are just like your father, both of you are a thunder god."
Deng Ai seemed to know Zhang Zun's father (Zhang Bao), so he said this.
"Don't talk more!"
Zhuge Zhan also spoke out, seeming to be really annoyed by this kind of war of words.
As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Ai commanded his elite troops to attack the city.
Not long after, Mianzhu City was broken and Zhuge Zhan and Zhang Zun were captured alive.
"Will you surrender or not?"
In the [Mianzhu Conference Hall], Zhuge Zhan and Zhang Zun were tied up, Deng Ai sat on the conference hall, looking majestic, while his son Deng Zhong interrogated Zhuge and Zhang Zun.
"Humph!"
Zhuge Zhan and Zhang Zun spoke in unison, seemingly ready to face death.
"They will not surrender."
Wang Lun said it affirmatively, as if predicting their fate.
"There is no point in talking any more. You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"
Zhang Zun said this at the end, he really was ready to die.
"Axeman!"
Deng Ai didn't waste any time and directly called for the executioners.
Afterwards, Zhuge Zhan and Zhang Zun were pushed out of the hall by the executioners and executed together.
Afterwards, Liu Chan in Chengdu surrendered without any resistance.
At this point, Shu Han was destroyed, and Deng Ai made an indelible contribution!
Jiang Wei interrogated in Jiange and surrendered to Zhong Hui's troops.
