Chapter 2582 Shu died
After Zhong Hui arrived at Du'anyan, he immediately implemented the dam construction project.
The current of the Minjiang River is very large and very fast. It is like an unruly wild horse, roaring from the high mountains in northern Shu, with great momentum, and Du'anyan is like a rein to tie the wild horse.
The wild horse was easily subdued.
The water diversion fish mouth divides the Minjiang River into the Inner River and the Outer River. During the dry season, most of the river water will flow into the Inner River; during the flood season, the excess river water will flow away from the Outer River. The water entering the Inner River will enter the second water diversion facility -
Feishayan. When the water volume of the Neijiang River exceeds the upper flow limit of Baopingkou, the excess water will overflow from Feishayan on its own; if there is an extraordinary situation such as a catastrophic flood, it will break the embankment on its own, allowing the flood to return to the normal flow of the Minjiang River.
What Zhong Hui needs to do now is to build a water dike at Du'an Weir to raise the water level of the Minjiang River. When necessary, break the embankments and release the water. The floods will pour down, and low-lying Chengdu will become a vast ocean.
However, this is an extremely huge project. Although Zhong Hui deployed half of his troops to build the dam, it is not an easy task to restrain the roaring Minjiang River.
It seemed that the Wei army would not give Zhong Hui a chance to easily surround the water. They quickly surrounded Du'an. Although there was no conflict between the two sides, the situation in Du'an had become very tense.
However, at this time, news came from Chengdu that Sima Lun had been captured, which put Zhong Hui into a dilemma. Sima Lun's capture meant that their plan had completely failed. Zhong Hui
Hui also fell into an isolated and helpless situation. He was in a dilemma as to where to go.
Soon, the Wei army launched an attack. The Shu army's defensive strength on the periphery was relatively weak, and it was difficult to resist the Wei army's attack. They retreated steadily, and it seemed that the Wei army was about to attack Duanyan.
Zhong Hui decided not to hesitate anymore and dug up the embankment to release water. Although the height of the dam did not meet the previous requirements, the situation forced Zhong Hui to act in advance. Even if Chengdu could not be completely submerged, it would at least flood Chengdu.
More than half of it was flooded.
But just when Zhong Hui was about to give the order, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. When he lowered his head, he saw that a sharp blade had penetrated from his chest.
Zhong Hui turned his head, and behind him was his personal guard Zhong Hu with a harmless smile on his face.
Zhong Hui felt that his life was passing by rapidly. He couldn't believe that the person who assassinated him was actually his confidant who had followed him for many years. Zhong Hui screamed sadly: "Why?"
Zhong Hu smiled calmly and said: "Second Young Master, to be honest, a certain person is from the Military Division, codenamed Lone Wolf..."
……………………………………………………
Under the city of Guangdu, Liu Chan, the empress of the Shu Kingdom, led the princes, kings, and more than sixty ministers to surrender to Cao Liang, the emperor of Wei.
Among the group of people, the only one riding in a car was Sima Lun. However, he was riding in a prison car, and the shackles and wooden shackles locked him tightly, making him stand out among the team.
Cao Liang personally stepped forward to help his master up, untied him from his bonds, burned his father, called him his uncle, and treated him with the courtesy of an elder. He publicly named Liu Chan the Duke of Anle, assisted the country's general Dong Jue, and ordered him to serve as a minister.
Fan Jian, the attendant Zhang Shao, the Guanglu doctor Qiao Zhou, the imperial servant Jiang Xian, the palace governor Zhang Tong, the secretary Lang Quezheng, the prince-in-law Deng Liang, and dozens of other people were all marquises.
Liu Chan was originally very worried about his future and fate. After all, the kings of subjugated countries in history rarely had a good end. Not to mention the last king of the Wu Kingdom, Sun Hao, was roasted and eaten alive by the Shanyue barbarians.
Well, its end is probably unprecedented and tragic.
Liu Chan even thought that it would be good if he could be buried alive. Now Cao Liang named him An Le Gong and promised to send him to Luoyang for retirement. In fact, it was an unexpected surprise for Liu Chan.
After the Shu monarchs and troops surrendered to the Wei army, the Sima army such as Hu Lie and Qiu Jian who stayed in Chengdu were disorganized. Especially after Zhong Hui was assassinated, Du'anyan was also controlled by the Wei army. Under the siege of three groups of Wei army,
Finally, Hu Lieqiu Jian chose to surrender, and the Wei army captured Chengdu without any blood.
After the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty, only a few cities remained, including Deyang, Hancheng and Lecheng in Hanzhong.
After the Wei army bypassed Hancheng and Lecheng, Hancheng and Lecheng had been in a state of confrontation for a long time. Cao Liang sent his servant Jiang Xian to Lecheng, Hancheng, to recruit Jiang Bin to surrender.
Jiang Xian is the second son of Jiang Wan and the younger brother of Jiang Bin. He is probably the most suitable candidate to send him to recruit Jiang Bin.
As for Deyang, Du Yu led his troops across the Fulishui River and adopted the tactic of surrounding Deyang without attacking, trapping Lu Kang and Luo Xian's troops in Deyang. Even when Chengdu was in crisis, Lu Kang and Luo Xian were trapped in Deyang.
Xiandu was never able to return aid to Chengdu.
After Lu Kang heard that Jiang Wei had been killed in battle, he became depressed and fell ill. Luo Xian and Bu Xie were always in charge of Deyang's defense. Later, when the news came that Chengdu had surrendered after the fall of Chengdu, Lu Kang was extremely angry.
, he vomited blood for several liters and died. When he was dying, he sighed: "I have the intention to kill the thief, but I can't save it. The sky is dead, what can I do?"
After the fall of the Kingdom of Wu, Lu Kang persisted in his dream of restoring the country, but after several years of wandering, he still achieved nothing. The demise of the Kingdom of Shu caused Lu Kang to lose his last source of support, and he eventually became ill with grief and anger and died in a foreign land.
After Lu Kang died of illness, Shang Shulang Li Hu was ordered to come to Deyang to recruit surrender. Luo Xian and Bu Xie had no choice but to lead their troops to surrender in the end, and the Shu territory was pacified from then on.
When Cao Liang arrived in Chengdu, he came out to pacify the people. The surrendered Shu officials were assigned to their posts. Cao Liang even implemented an amnesty in Yizhou, opened warehouses for disaster relief, and issued an order to exempt the people of Yizhou from taxes for three years.
These measures have maintained the stability of Yizhou to a large extent. In the past few years, in order to spend huge military expenditures, the Shu Kingdom has continuously increased taxes and levies, exploiting the people, so that the people in the mountains and plains have nothing to eat, and the people have no way to make a living.
In addition, when the Wei army entered Shu and the war spread throughout Yizhou, one can imagine the plight of the people in Yizhou.
Now that the war has subsided, Yizhou has finally settled down. However, after the ravages of war, Yizhou's economy and people's livelihood are very fragile. Cao Liang reduced taxes and opened warehouses to relieve refugees, which naturally won the support of the people of Yizhou.
For ordinary people, it doesn't really matter whether their surname is Liu or Cao. As long as the world is peaceful and they have enough food and clothing, they will be happy.
The demise of Shu did not bring much turmoil to Yizhou. On the contrary, the people of Yizhou were surprised to find that their life seemed better than before, so they wholeheartedly supported the new emperor.
