asked Kong Ming to say Zhao Shu's name in person, and he was also very unwilling in his heart. After all, although there has been no superficial struggle between Kong Ming and Zhao Shu for so many years, on the night when Zhao Shu took refuge in Liu Bei, the contest between the two had already begun. Capture Jingzhou, Western Shuzhong, Hanzhong, and then fight Jingzhou, and then Fa Zheng conspired against him, and then Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition, neither of them had an obvious victory. Only at the moment of Liu Bei's defeat did Zhao Shu seize the opportunity. Kong Ming also knew that Liu Bei would be defeated, but he didn't expect that he would lose so quickly and so thoroughly, so that the situation in Chengdu had not yet been cleaned up, and he was about to start competing with Zhao Shu for power.

Liu Bei was defeated, and Kong Ming lost one point; After the failure of the Eastern Crusade, Zhao Shu was in charge of Jingzhou's military affairs again, and Kong Ming lost another point; After Liu Bei's defeat, he would not be in Chengdu and stationed in the White Emperor City, and Kong Ming lost another point; Huang Yuan rebelled, Kong Ming had no time to care about the White Emperor City, and lost one more point; Zhao Shu occupied the White Emperor City first, mastered Liu Bei, and won by one point; Jingzhou Zhao Shuchang was the army and horse preservation, and the Sichuan army suffered heavy losses, so he won another point; Zhao Shu killed Chen Dao, won over the Wu brothers, and won one more point; Zhao Shu dared to go to Hanzhong alone to persuade Wei Yan, and this point was extremely crucial; Zhao Shu was able to enter Chengdu, master the crown prince, and win another point; After Kong Ming lost by nine points, he had to provoke Zhao Yun to assassinate him with words, but after he died in defeat, he let Zhao Shusheng win all ten points.

Kong Ming knew that he could no longer redeem the defeat, so he had to give up Chengdu and come to Nanzhong with Yang Yi, hoping to win a thousand catties with four taels. Sure enough, Zhao Shu fell into the game carefully laid out by Kong Ming step by step, and in Yongchang County, Kong Ming finally made a final comeback and trapped Zhao Shu in the mountains. There is no food and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside, and in less than two days, everything that has been lost will definitely be won back. But just as he was about to celebrate the victory, Kong Ming was assassinated and would definitely die. Is this providence? Kong Ming is indeed unwilling to admit defeat, but when he is about to die, it is natural to think of what happened behind him, can he let Meng Shu rebel and let Shu Han decline?

Although Kong Ming was not the king of the Shu Han Empire, the establishment of the Shu Han Empire was inextricably linked with him, and he was unwilling to see the banner of Cao Wei or Sun Wu planted on the city wall of Chengdu after his death. On the contrary, I hope that the banner of Shu Han can be planted all over the north and south of the river, all over the Central Plains, in Luoyang, and at the head of Jianye. Everything he did was also to be able to achieve this, to realize his wish, and there was only Zhao Shu in the Shu Han court. As the saying goes, "God is jealous of talents", so-called talents like themselves, one death a day is too much, how can two die at the same time? Since he is already a mortal person, why not let Zhao Shu go and let him continue to work hard to conquer the world?

Since Emperor Wu, the Han army has fought the world by force, and often oppressed the surrounding barbarians, and the Han officials tried their best to collect and exploit, so that the barbarians rebelled. When Kong Ming was in charge of Chengdu, he deliberately made friends with Meng Shu and others, and deliberately appeased him, which won his heart. The reason why he was able to incite everyone to rebel was that Meng was afraid that after Zhao Shu presided over the power of Shu Han, he would restore the old Han system and oppress the clansmen. Kong Ming also promised a lot of benefits, and was willing to divide the southernmost counties of Yongchang and the place where the barbarians gathered to Meng Shu to govern by himself, without Han officials and Han troops, as Meng Huo wished.

Now that Kong Ming is about to go, as long as Zhao Shu can follow Kong Ming's old system and agree to these conditions, Meng Shu has no reason to kill them all. It's just that Zhao Shu will agree? Meng Shu said the question in his heart, but Kong Ming smiled and did not answer, knowing in his heart that Zhao Shu, like himself, was not a stubborn person, and it was inevitable that the Shu Han Empire would protect itself, and then compete with Cao Wei and Sun Wu for the world and stabilize the south. If Zhao Shu was a person with a little foresight, he would not refuse Meng Shu's request.

Jiang Wan was invited into the tent, and when he saw the wound on Kong Ming's chest bandaged and his pale face, he was puzzled. Kong Ming and Meng Shu talked as little as possible to maintain their energy, and after seeing Jiang Wan, they said, "I have wronged Gongyan." I have entrusted one thing now, I don't know if Gongyan wishes? "Jiang Wan has received Kong Ming's great kindness, if it weren't for the other party's collusion with Meng Shu's rebellion, he would never have any disrespect, but he would gladly agree if he had a life. Now it is this time, and at that time, since Kong Ming is already a traitor, no matter what he does, Jiang Wan can only silently not answer.

Kong Ming saw that he should not, so he said again: "I was unfortunately assassinated, and my life will not last long, I am willing to meet with Jingwei for a while, and hope that Gongyan will convey it." Although his strength was a little weak when he spoke, his tone was very flat, and he didn't look like a dying person at all. This was originally Kong Ming's very indifferent view of life and death, but Jiang Wan suspected that there was fraud in it, and sneered: "You want to lure the general to come, this kind of trick is child's play." Seeing that he didn't believe it, Yang Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "What the prime minister said is true, and I hope Gongyan will believe it." Kong Ming knew that Jiang Wan would not believe it, so he reached out and slowly untied the white cloth on the wound on his chest, and then said: "Zhao Shu is trapped in the mountain, and he will die." Why do I need to do this again? You can go back to the mountain and tell Zhao Shu this intention, whether you are willing to meet or not, the right lies with him. It's just that I still have two hours to live at most, and if the matter is urgent, Gongyan can go quickly. Without waiting for Jiang Wan to have any more objections, he waved his hand and motioned for Yang Yi to send him out of the tent.

Jiang Wan looked at Kong Ming's injury, it really didn't seem to be a fake, but maybe it was a bitter trick, but it was useless to stay in the barbarian camp, so he might as well go back to the mountain and die with everyone, so he didn't say anything more, and came out with Yang Yi. When it came to Yuanmen, Yang Yi personally took the reins and helped Jiang Wan get on the horse, and he actually rode a war horse. Jiang Wan didn't understand what it meant, but said: "Duke Wei can send this, you don't need to send it again." When Yang Yi came out of the account, although there was no Kong Ming order, he knew that he would die, and he wanted to rely on the big tree again, so he made up his mind and went up the mountain with Jiang Wan to persuade Zhao Shu. He knew that Zhao Shu and Jiang Wan might not believe that Kong Ming's injury was true, but he was afraid that Zhao Shu would miss this great opportunity, and thus let him miss the only good opportunity to fight for a better future.

After Kong Ming's death, it was a foregone conclusion that Zhao Shu was in charge of the state affairs of Shu Han, and Yang Yi had always been Kong Ming's confidant, and now he could only take the opportunity to show favor to Zhao Shu at this time, hoping to be used again. If Jiang Wan returns to the mountain alone, he will either not convey Kong Ming's intention to meet, and even if he conveys, he will bitterly persuade Zhao Shu not to go down the mountain to meet the appointment, and everyone on the mountain will not easily believe it. Only Yang Yi knew that Kong Ming's dying was the truth, and only he knew that Kong Ming invited Zhao Shu down the mountain with good intentions. Although he was not very sure that he could persuade Zhao Shu to go to the appointment, Yang Yi always had to give it a try, and he was very clear about the connection between Guan Suo and Kong Ming, and he could explain the cause and effect of the matter one by one, which was much better than Jiang Wan going up the mountain alone.
