Although Zen is a mediocre ruler, it is not as cruel as Jie and Zhou. Although the wars are repeatedly north, there are no turmoil. Even if the king and his ministers cannot defend themselves, they can leave the city and despise the future. Liu Chan had 7 sons and two daughters.

Liu Chan is weak and has no risk. Although Zen is a mediocre ruler, it is not as cruel as Jie and Zhou. Although the wars are repeatedly north, there are no turmoil. Even if the king and his ministers cannot defend themselves, they can leave the city and despise the future. ——Sun Sheng

In 263 AD, Deng Ai led his troops to smuggle Yinping to the city of Chengdu. Liu Chan knew that he was unable to resist and chose to surrender, and Shu Han had been destroyed since then. Later, Liu Chan was taken to the capital of Cao Wei , and was monitored by Sima Zhao , and lived a worried "stable life".

Regarding the demise of Shu Han, many people only know the allusion of Liu Chan and him being happy about Shu, and think that this battle to destroy the country is very peaceful. However, how many of the battles of destruction of a country have been peaceful since ancient times?

Liu Chan has 7 sons and two daughters. Why did these people not mention after the demise of Shu Han is mainly because most of them were dead, and they were quite tragic and tragic. Today, let’s talk about this topic and talk about the storm and history of Shu Han.

Liu Bei After hardships, establishing Shu Han

According to historical records, Liu Bei is a descendant of Zhongshan King King Jing Liu Sheng , because Emperor Wu of Han urge to order made the power of the princes become smaller and smaller, and in the end, even the common people are not as good as those of ordinary people. Therefore, by Liu Bei's generation, their family seemed to have nothing to do with the royal family.

However, Liu Bei had ambitions since childhood. Later, with the help of Gongsun Zan, he studied at a famous teacher. Many years later, he received funding from merchants Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, and brought together a group of people to participate in Yellow Turban Uprising and made achievements.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many warlords, and the major warlords fought against each other for the sake of their interests. Liu Bei, who had a weak force, could only wander among the princes and seek a breathing place. Unfortunately, in the Battle of Red Cliffs, Yuan Shao, , was defeated by Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, who was attached to Yuan Shao, had to go south to surrender to Liu Biao, .

Here Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang , and developed step by step according to the grand blueprint he planned, reached an alliance with Sun Quan and won the Battle of Red Cliff, thus obtaining a large tract of land in Jingzhou , with a foundation for further development.

209 AD - 219 AD The ten years were the fastest-growing stage of Liu Bei's life. He used Jingzhou as a springboard to occupy Yizhou, Xichuan, and Hanzhong and other places, and established a regime that was strongly strong with Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi became emperor. In 221 AD, he forced Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate the position of emperor. Since then, the Han Dynasty officially disappeared in the long river of history. Cao Pi established the Wei State, Sun Quan established the Wu State, and Liu Bei established the Shu Han, which means to continue the orthodox Han Dynasty.

Unfortunately, since Liu Bei ascended the throne and became emperor, his luck has not been very good. First, they cut off the alliance with the Wu Kingdom, and then suffered a great defeat in Yiling, and the family wealth accumulated by Shu Han over the past decades was exhausted.

butterfly effect is not over yet. Soon after escaping to Baidi City, Liu Bei ushered in the deadline and had to call Zhuge Liang and other important officials to Baidi City to entrust their orphans. In the same year, Liu Bei died and his son Liu Chan succeeded to the throne.

Zhuge Liang devoted his efforts, and Shu Han was still defeated

" Memorial to the Army " once said: "I was appointed when I was defeated and ordered to be in danger." After Liu Bei's death, Shu Han was once in a crisis. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang stood up. On the one hand, he re-established the alliance with the Eastern Wu, and on the other hand, he stabilized domestic politics and developed the people's livelihood economy, so that Shu Han was able to emerge from decadence.

From visiting the cottage three times to entrusting the orphan at the end of his life, Liu Bei not only had the grace of knowing Zhuge Liang, but also had trust. Therefore, the latter has always regarded "restoring the Han Dynasty and returning to the old capital" as his first goal in his life.

In 225 AD, Zhuge Liang personally led his army to Nanzhong and Menghuo to fight 7 wars. Finally, the rebellion in the south was quelled and a solid rear was obtained. At the same time, the strength of surrendering to Shu Han was also enhanced due to the fact that Nanman 's surrender to Shu Han was also enhanced.

A few years later, Cao Pi died, and his son Cao Rui inherited the throne and took advantage of the change of power, Zhuge Liang launched the Northern Expedition.However, because Ma Su lost Jieting in his carelessness, he led to the defeat of the first Northern Expedition.

After that, Zhuge Liang launched four Northern Expeditions. Although there were quite a Warring States Period, they all failed for various reasons. He died of illness in Wuzhangyuan in August 234. He failed to complete the great cause of "restoring the Han Dynasty" until his death.

Episode 0: The comprehensive national strength of Shu Han and Cao Wei is so different, Zhuge Liang, as a smart person, cannot see that. If that is the case, why did he carry out the Northern Expedition? We may be able to peek at a court meeting in the Cao Wei court.

Since Liu Bei's death, Cao Wei's main force has been concentrated on dealing with Sun Quan, but the army has failed repeatedly when it goes out to fight. In this process, Shu Han came out of decline again, causing Cao Wei's Guanzhong and Longxi to be threatened.

Cao Pi died Cao Rui ascended the throne. Civil and military officials had a discussion on how to treat Shu. Some ministers said that they could continue to raise troops to attack until they defeated them, but the minister Sun Zi said:

Shu Han only had Hanzhong, Yizhou and other places, while Cao Wei occupied the land of Jiuzhou. If it develops peacefully, its strength would inevitably crush it (Shu Han). In addition, Shu Han was located for many passes, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Cao Wei launched a large-scale attack, it would lose national strength and not be worth the loss.

Instead of this, we should also refuse to be in control and maintain our strength. At that time, the strength of Wei State will be overwhelming, so we will naturally be able to defeat others without fighting. Cao Rui believed that Sun Zi's method was feasible, so he implemented this policy as a strategic implementation.

After Shu Han's spy in Cao Wei secretly told Zhuge Liang about this matter, Zhuge Liang also understood that if Cao Wei was allowed to develop, Shu Han would definitely not be able to escape the fate of destruction. Therefore, he chose to take offense as the defense and take the initiative to attack, and look for opportunities to turn the tables from the war.

From a certain perspective, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition is not the goal. The goal is to narrow the gap between Shu and Wei and find opportunities to survive in the war. However, no one has understood Zhuge Liang's strategic intentions since his death.

Jiang Wan It was okay during his reign. He attacked Cao Wei while the people's livelihood economy occurred; Dong Yun During his reign, he only focused on developing people's livelihood, reducing the frequency of attacks on Cao Wei; in the late Shu Han Dynasty, Jiang Wei only focused on fighting with Cao Wei, ignoring the development of people's livelihood in China.

According to some historical records, from 238 AD to 262 AD, Jiang Wei carried out eleven Northern Expeditions against Cao Wei. Although he won more than lose less, he ignored the development of domestic people's livelihood, and the gap between Shu and Wei became increasingly wide.

Even in this case, he still farmed in the border areas and planned to continue the Northern Expedition, completely ignoring the factors of political instability in the rear. So when the five armies of Zhonghui attacked Shu Kingdom, Liu Chan sent people to rescue him in a hurry, and there would inevitably be mistakes in the chaos.

Deng Ai took advantage of the inattention of the Shu Han army and led his army to smuggle through Yinping to Mian, and finally surrounded the Shu Han capital Chengdu. At that time, there was no one available around Liu Chan. Many civil officials in Shu Han tried to protect themselves and chose to surrender. Since then, Shu Han has perished.

The ending of Liu Chan's family

After the fall of Shu Han, Liu Chan was brought to Luoyang City by the Wei army. Although he was supervised by Sima Zhao day and night, because of his "happy and unwilling to think of Shu", Sima Zhao did not have the intention to kill him and his later years of life ended up in a good life.

However, although Liu Chan had a good death, his children all ended up miserably, showing the world that the fall of Shu Han was not calm. According to the records of " Zizhi Tongjian ", Liu Chan's eldest son is Liu Xuan , and he is also the prince of Shu Han.

When Liu Chan chose to surrender, Liu Xuan vowed not to surrender and even led his men to rebel, but was massacred by the Wei army. However, Shu Han was no match for the Wei army by exerting all his strength. What could he do if he was a prince without real power?

In the end, Liu Xuan was killed by the Wei army and his family was not spared.Liu Chan's fifth son, Liu Chen, is as strong as his elder brother. After the Wei army entered the city, he vowed not to surrender, and learned that Emperor Chongzhen, committed suicide in the ancestral temple of Shu Han.

Second son Liu Yao, fourth son Liu Zan, sixth son Liu Xun, seventh son Liu Qian and others, they were brought to Luoyang City with their father, and their lives were quite stable. Unfortunately, after the outbreak of Yongjia Rebellion, the four of them were implicated in the coup and were killed.

As for Liu Chan's third son Liu Cong, he died before the demise of Shu Han, and his fate can be regarded as a good ending compared to several brothers. After talking about Liu Chan’s seven sons, he took a look at his two daughters.

What are the names of the two daughters? There is no detailed record in history books. I only know that the eldest daughter married Zhuge Zhan . During the Battle of Mianzhu, Deng Ai's army caught him off guard from the sky, and eventually Zhuge Zhan died on the battlefield.

The status of women in ancient times was relatively low, and the war years were even more in danger. From this point of view, even if she was a royal family of Shu Han, her ending would not be very good after the country was destroyed, and she would even end up even more sad than ordinary people.

The second daughter married Guan Yu's son Guan Tong . In the Battle of Xiangfan , Guan Yu once flooded the seven armies. Cao Wei's general Pang De was captured by Guan Yu. Later, because he was unwilling to surrender to Shu Han, he was killed by Guan Erye . Since then, the Guan family and the Pang family have formed a bond.

Although Guan Yu was killed by the Eastern Wu, Pang De's descendants still couldn't swallow this. Therefore, after the demise of Shu Han, Pang De's descendants did not let Guan Yu's descendants go. Guan Tong and his family were all killed, and Liu Chan's second daughter was no exception.

So Liu Chan is the only one who has a good ending among Liu Bei's descendants. Such an ending has to be said to be very sad and even a bit miserable. Liu Chan's ability to end well in troubled times also proves from the indirect evidence that he may not be what everyone calls "can't help" and being happy may just be a means of disguise.

Through the above introduction, it is not difficult to find that the comprehensive strength of Shu Han and Cao Wei is very different. Even without Liu Chan, Shu Han could not escape the ending of destruction. According to some historical records, after Deng Ai attacked Chengdu, he discovered the Shu Han household registration book.

clearly records that the population of Shu Han was less than one million, but there were more than 100,000 officials and soldiers, which was equivalent to six or seven people raising an official or soldier. Such pressure was very great in ancient times when productivity was low. It was a matter of time before the country was destroyed, and it had little to do with Liu Chan.
