The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

Zhuge Zhan, son of Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Shang, grandson of Zhuge Liang, died in battle.

Zhang Fei's grandson Zhang Zun, Zhao Yun's son Zhao Guang, and Huang Quan's son Huang Chong also died in battle.

As these names appeared on the sky, Liu Bei felt increasingly bitter.

The more tragic these people were, the more ashamed he felt.

I feel ashamed for Liu Shan!

Countless generals died fighting for Shu Han, while Jiang Wei at Jiange was still desperately resisting Zhong Hui's army.

How can we surrender!

How dare you lower yourself like this!

No wonder Liu Shan was listed among the tyrannical rulers because of his mediocrity rather than his incompetence!

Under such circumstances, with countless people following suit, how could he not be on the list!

Under Deng Ai's surprise attack at Yinping, Ma Miao surrendered with Jiangyou. When he attacked Mianzhu, he was no longer afraid that the enemy would stay put for a long time.

If things really come to a standstill, Deng Ai, with the support of Jiangyou behind him, will have even more confidence!

After all, at this time, Shu Han was not only facing this surprise attack, but also the greatest threat from Zhong Hui on the front!

Forced by utter helplessness, countless people watched everything unfold on the screen.

Seeing that Zhuge Zhan failed to seize the strategic location in time, and that Deng Ai was able to advance rapidly from the plains, Zhuge Liang sighed helplessly.

They may be loyal enough, but their abilities are far too lacking.

In the following scenes, the final battle between the Han and Wei dynasties has begun.

Even when they knew defeat was inevitable, the sons of Shu Han's top generals did not retreat in the slightest and ultimately all died on the battlefield.

"If I were Liu Shan (Liu Adou), I would certainly have no face to surrender."

Li Er snorted coldly.

Some people say that Liu Shan surrendered in order to save the officials in the city.

He found this argument utterly ridiculous!

Those who were truly loyal to Shu Han either died in the Battle of Mianzhu or were still keeping Zhong Hui in check on the battlefield of Jiange.

Whom did Liu Shan protect when he surrendered?

Were they the Confucian scholars from powerful families who, upon hearing of the defeat at the Battle of Mianzhu, were eager to persuade Liu Shan to surrender?

Is it really necessary to protect those people?

"Don't even mention you. I think that apart from the emperors of the Song Dynasty, very few people would choose to surrender under these circumstances."

Zhao Kuangyin: "..."

How did you manage to kill two birds with one stone while mocking someone?

It's one thing for you to satirize Liu Shan, but do you have to drag my Great Song Dynasty into it?

Before he could even speak, the number of comments on the screen rapidly decreased.

The scene has now shifted to the moment when Mianzhu was defeated and Deng Ai was about to launch a full-scale attack.

Liu Shan summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

Grand Master of Ceremonies Qiao Zhou strongly advocated surrender.

Although Liu Shan hesitated for a moment, he was clearly tempted.

"Your Majesty, Shu and Wu are allies. Why not surrender to Wu? Perhaps we can use Wu's army to launch a counterattack in the future."

Seeing that Liu Shan was wavering, the others quickly made suggestions.

Even surrendering has its own set of rules.

Shu and Wu were allies. Even if Liu Shan surrendered to Wu, he could still retain his status as emperor and would have a chance to launch a counterattack and return to Shu in the future.

But if they surrender to Wei, there will be no chance at all!

Liu Shan was clearly willing to accept such a proposal.

Before he could say anything, Qiao Zhou spoke up again.

"If Wei was able to destroy Shu, how do you know it can't destroy Wu?"

"If Wei were to conquer Shu first, and then Wu, my lord would be forced to surrender twice, and would most likely be humiliated. What are your true intentions?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shan felt reassured.

Qiao Zhou had been observing his expression, and seeing this, he felt reassured.

However, at that moment, an angry shout came from outside the palace.

"nonsense!"

"How dare you, a cowardly and pedantic scholar, presume to discuss matters of state here!"

Liu Chen's figure quickly entered from outside the palace.

He walked up to Liu Shan and bowed deeply.

"Father, I only want to ask, throughout history, has there ever been an emperor who surrendered?"

"Even Emperor Xiaomin, who was once controlled like a puppet, still issued an edict to the late emperor in an attempt to resist the traitor Cao. How much more so should our father, who is still the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, surrender!"

He spoke through gritted teeth, his gaze fixed on Qiao Zhou as if he were about to devour him.

"My son, all the officials are saying we should surrender. They are only discussing whether to surrender to Wu or Wei. Now that Mianzhu has been lost, Wei general Deng Ai will soon be at the gates of the city."

"Now all the soldiers of our Han Dynasty are in Jiang Wei's hands, all at Jiange. You say you want war? Do you want us all to be buried with you?"

Liu Shan complained.

"There are still over ten thousand troops in the city, and the news has already reached Jiange. If Deng Ai really dares to attack, we only need to hold out for a month or so. General Jiang Wei will definitely lead his troops to reinforce us. At that time, we will attack from both inside and outside, and we will surely make sure that Deng Ai never returns!"

Liu Chen knelt down with a thud, his voice filled with earnestness.

"Shut up, my son. You are too young, and your thoughts are not comprehensive enough."

"Even if we can hold them off, so what? The Wei army is too powerful, and Jiang Wei may not be able to spare any troops to come to their aid. Once he is tied down by Zhong Hui, all of us will be wiped out."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the court understood Liu Shan's thoughts.

They're determined to vote!

Liu Chen's face instantly lost all color, turning deathly pale.

"Father, father!"

He suddenly kowtowed several times.

"Even if one knows certain death is inevitable, as the emperor, one should fight with one's back to the wall, and even if one dies, one should have no regrets!"

"If we surrender to Cao Wei, how will we face the late emperor a hundred years from now!"

"Father!"

"shut up!"

Liu Shan slammed his hand on the table.

"The King of the North has lost his mind! Guards, drag him away and let him reflect on his actions!"

"Father, we cannot surrender!"

Even as the two men lifted him up, Liu Chen continued to struggle.

His roars, even after he was carried out of the palace gates, still echoed in everyone's ears.

The remaining officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

The fate of Liu Chen, a proponent of war, is already clear to everyone.

As for the pro-surrender faction, Liu Shan's previous actions clearly demonstrated this.

He was more inclined to surrender to Cao Wei.

Then the rest is pretty much a foregone conclusion.

The vast majority of people quickly expressed their agreement with Qiao Zhou's proposal.

Even you, the emperor, are about to surrender, so naturally those of them from noble families have no reason to insist.

Anyway, it doesn't matter where you hold an official position.

Even after surrendering to Cao Wei, their power remained undiminished.

Since that's the case, then let's just lower the price!

From then on, the emperor and his ministers were of one mind. Liu Shan ordered Deng Liang, the Imperial Son-in-Law Commandant, Zhang Shao, the Attendant-in-Ordinary, Qiao Zhou, the Grand Master of Ceremonies, and others to visit Deng Ai with the imperial seal and a letter of surrender.

When Deng Ai received the letter of surrender, the Shu Han dynasty was effectively destroyed.

Although Liu Shan's surrender was mentioned in the list of incompetent rulers, it was never as detailed as it is today.

To be even more specific, after reading it, Liu Bei wanted to immediately issue an order for him to come over and then throw him off the Baidi City tower!

But the matter is not over yet.

The images on the screen switched again.

Upon learning of Liu Shan's surrender, Liu Chen, along with his wife and children, went to the Zhaolie Temple, a place used for sacrificial rites.

Inside the temple, several people burst into tears.

After a long while, Liu Chen slowly got up.

"With the late emperor above, your unfilial son Liu Chen would rather die than surrender!"
