Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor (known as Emperor Zhaolie in history) and was very high-spirited. Guan Yu was killed, Jingzhou fell, and the foundation of Shu Han was shaken. Zhang Fei was furious and prepared for war, but was assassinated by his subordinates because of his fierce temper. He died before leaving the army. Liu Bei was filled with grief and anger, vowed to destroy Soochow to avenge his brothers, and personally led an army of 700,000 people to march eastward. In the early stage, the army was overwhelmingly powerful, conquering several cities and shaking the east of the Yangtze River. However, he underestimated the enemy and set up camp in the mountains and forests. Lu Xun waited patiently and set fire to the 700-mile company camp. The fire took advantage of the wind, and the Shu army was defeated. All its elites were lost, and the country's destiny was reversed. In Baidi City, Liu Bei was critically ill and summoned Zhuge Liang to take care of him. The sentence "If the heir can assist, assist him; if he is not talented, you can take it yourself", every word is bloody. Country and friendship, ideals and regrets are all given to the prime minister. The Shu Han Dynasty is in turmoil, let's see how Kong Ming can turn the tide from collapse.
