Chapter 146 When Liu Bei saw Romance of the Three Kingdoms

"Isn't it better to let the fate that has already escaped turn into dust and blow away with the wind?" Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "There are too many things that are hard to let go of in Western Shu. I just took a quick look and don't want to look at it again."

However, Liu Bei insisted: "I want to know!"

In desperation, Zhuge Liang could only take out a copy of "Records of the Three Kingdoms: The Chronicle of Shu" and open it for everyone to see.

This is actually the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

There is no distinction between official history and fiction in the history of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The Records of the Three Kingdoms is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which talks about the Three Kingdoms in the fiction.

After opening it, the first page reads "Peach Garden Oath".

It describes in detail the acquaintance of Liu, Guan and Zhang, and their joint fight against the Yellow Turbans and rescue of Dong Zhuo.

It’s similar to Liu Bei’s experience, but without Ji Hao.

"Is the mirror time and space intentionally erasing Chengtian?" Liu Bei asked.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"It could also be that the heaven and earth cannot produce a mirror image of the Human Emperor, so there is no such thing as him in history!"

Then continue watching, at the beginning, the trajectory does not change.

But during the Battle of Hulao Pass, when there were no princes led by Ji Hao to attack Dong Zhuo, the situation changed drastically: it was not Zhao Yun, the commander of the Datong Army, who killed Hua Xiong with warm wine, but Guan Yu!

In the end, it was not Ji Hao who defeated Lu Bu, but Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei together.

"This……"

Guan Yu finally understood why General Silver Hammer, whom he met in Wagang Village, said "There is no need to lay siege to defeat Lu Bu".

It turns out that in the history without Ji Hao, the three brothers had to join forces to defeat Lu Bu!
Continuing to flip through the pages, Liu Bei's life trajectory soon underwent a dramatic change: in the history of the mirror world, he did not even become the "King of Backers", and even after defeating Dong Zhuo, he was unable to rise.

Instead, he continued to be a minor county magistrate.

After giving up Xuzhou three times, he finally got the territory, but it was stolen by Lu Bu.

He surrendered to Cao Cao and killed Lu Bu, but because of the Yidaizhao incident, he had to flee again. After occupying Xuzhou for the second time, he fought with Cao Cao... Zhang Fei lost contact, and Guan Yu actually surrendered to Cao Cao.

Zhang Fei was stunned.

"That Guan Yu bastard!"

Even my second brother isn’t called anymore.

"Shut up, third brother. Yunchang is protecting my family, so it's not considered a betrayal!" Liu Bei shook his head.

Then, Sun Quan also said: "Yes. Otherwise, with Cao Cao's character of 'liking other people's wives', Liu Bei's two wives would be in trouble!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Cao Cao's face immediately turned dark.

"How can you taint someone's innocence out of thin air?"

Afterwards, there was some nonsense like "taking care of the widow" and the whole place was filled with laughter and joy, creating a cheerful atmosphere.

After that, Guan Yu killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

After all this, everyone looked at him with new eyes, but they were also puzzled: "How could this be? Without Your Majesty, General Zhao Yun and General Huang Zhong would not have been able to make a breakthrough?"

Today, Zhao Yun is second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

On par with Cao Cao, one is a civil official and the other is a military official.

Far above anyone else.

However, in the history of the mirror time and space, he was unable to make a name for himself until Liu Biao died of illness?

What’s even more outrageous is that he also followed Liu Bei?

"So, if it weren't for Chengtian, Zilong would be my general?" Liu Bei suddenly felt a little heartbroken.

However, Zhao Yun, who was watching from a distance, remained unmoved.

He said calmly: "My choice is not wrong!"

In the history of the mirror world, the most glorious person in Western Shu was Guan Yu. Not only was he an outstanding warrior, but after staying in Cao's camp for so long, he was able to give up his high position and generous salary and travel thousands of miles to find Liu Bei.

Zhang Fei even exclaimed: "As expected of you, my second brother!"

However, Zhao Yun never came to the fore.

Even after Changbanpo, he fought seven times in the army of 800,000 and became famous in one battle, but he still didn't. To everyone, he felt like a headless fly, loyal and brave, but he seemed to have lost his soul. It was a very strange feeling, and everyone pondered for a long time, but couldn't understand it.

Until Cao Cao spoke up and said: "A team without faith has no soul!"

At that moment, everyone suddenly realized.

Yes.

Restoring the Han Dynasty was Liu Bei’s belief, but what about others?
It's just a word of "loyalty and righteousness".

Compared with the current Datong Army’s slogan “The world belongs to the public”, it naturally pales in comparison. Zhao Yun, who is loyal to Liu Bei, is naturally completely different from Zhao Yun who “brings peace to the world for all generations”.

After that, it was Liu Bei’s highlight moment.

They joined forces at the Battle of Red Cliff and defeated Cao Cao.

He occupied Jingzhou and got all the talented people, and was the most powerful person at that time.

But not long after, Guan Yu was careless and lost Jingzhou.

And at this moment, Liu Bei actually did something that a hero should not do at all: he ignored the opposition and forcibly sent troops to Soochow to avenge his second brother Guan Yu.

From then on, Lu Xun burned down the army and Western Shu never recovered.

"Brother, you are confused!" Guan Yu said.

He was very moved.

However, you can only take revenge if you have the kingdom, even if you kill the King of Wu. But for the sake of loyalty, you forcefully send troops, which saves your reputation but loses the kingdom. The Han Dynasty has not yet risen, and your revenge has not been taken!
Zhang Fei didn't think too much about it, he just said: "Big brother is big brother!"

He didn't even care that he was killed by his subordinates for beating and scolding soldiers.

"Did you know the predetermined fate from the beginning and knew that the Han Dynasty would not be able to revive?" Liu Bei suddenly looked at Ji Hao and said, "When did you really want to help me revive the Han Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Ji Hao nodded.

"What a pity, you don't give me a chance!"

Liu Bei's loyalty is beyond doubt, but he is not very good to those who are not his sworn brothers. So, he left decisively and became independent after failing to join the sworn brotherhood.

"Ugh!"

Liu Bei sighed.

"You are not a relative of the Han Dynasty, and your courtesy name is 'Chengtian'. How can I give you a chance? I didn't know that you are also a descendant of the royal family and can bear the name 'Chengtian'!"

Ji Hao also felt a little emotional about this.

He chose this courtesy name because he was a bit immature at the time and thought he could support the Han Dynasty.

So his name was "Chengtian".

But they forget that in ancient times, such names were not something that ordinary people could use.

If the Han Dynasty had not declined and even the emperor had not given up, he might have been beheaded just because of this name!
It's that serious.

"What happened next?" Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang sighed and flipped through the history books.

But he was left with only his one-man show. His lord was gone, the Five Tiger Generals were gone, the former Han Dynasty was gone, and only the Shu Han was left, which was called "Western Shu" outside.

He went to Qishan six times and fought hard in the Northern Expedition, but was defeated by a rain.

His successor Jiang Wei launched nine expeditions to the Central Plains but was unsuccessful, and eventually Western Shu was destroyed.

The Han Dynasty ended.

Someone asked Liu Bei's son if he missed Western Shu. He said no, and felt his current life was happier. This made Liu Bei suddenly realize that perhaps for his son, reviving the Han Dynasty was just a shackle.

His obsession harmed his brothers and his subjects.

It also made the world suffer.

The lifelong pursuit turned out to be just a passing cloud.

At this time, Qin Qiong came in and said to Zhuge Liang, who was reading the History of Shu, "I admire Lord Xuande, but you have already ruined the Three Kingdoms and almost wiped out the Han people. Now you are still restless after death. Are you going to cause trouble again?"
