Chapter 536 Gou Xi: Is it no good to just give up?
Liu Shan in another timeline: Should I thank you for your praise?
Meanwhile, in the Three Kingdoms era
Sima Yi, who had been captured, was inwardly weeping, and he didn't even care about his injuries. In fact, he had been feeling resentful all along.
What was the point of all his scheming and striving for most of his life? Was it just to see his descendants meet a miserable end, each worse than the last?
Heaven does not favor the Great Jin Dynasty. Didn't the Cao Wei Dynasty seize the throne from the Liu family in the past?
Even though he was extremely unwilling, he had to admit that the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty was truly no one else's fault!
Damn it, why does he feel so sour inside?!
Cao Cao, observing coldly: I'll let you listen carefully to how your Sima clan perished!

Back to the live broadcast room.
Lin Ke continued, "The occurrence of the Yongjia Rebellion does not mean that the Han-Zhao regime was the final victor."
"Although the Western Jin Dynasty has fallen, this land is still inhabited by the Xiongnu, the Jie, the Xianbei, and other tribes. Chaos will surely rise again; it's only a matter of time."
"Moreover, the conflict between the Hu and Han people is also a problem. For example, Wang Mi and Liu Yao had many conflicts in Luoyang City. Later, they followed Liu Tun's advice and divided their troops to take their main camp and occupy their hometown of Qingzhou."
"On the other hand, we've also spoiled the plot: Shi Le will become emperor, and he'll eventually part ways with the Liu family and these Xiongnu people."
"Especially the actions of people like Liu Yao, who slaughtered Luoyang and massacred the Sima clan just to vent their anger and satisfy their own selfish desires, how are they any different from other barbarians?"
"The remaining Xiongnu are not as clever as Liu Yuan. Besides, Gou Xi actually tried very hard to save Sima Chi before the fall of Luoyang."
"Liu Hui was sent with dozens of ships and supplies to request Emperor Huai to move the capital, but Sima Chi agreed while the court officials disagreed!"
The people of Wanchao: ??? They weren't even willing to run away, no wonder they all disappeared in the end!
"Perhaps these powerful officials still believed that even if the Western Jin Dynasty fell due to the Xiongnu invasion, they could still serve as subjects of the Han-Zhao regime and continue to hold office."
"Wasn't this the same thing when the Sima family usurped the Wei throne? It's just that Liu Yao, Wang Mi, and others didn't give them that chance!"
Sima Yan: ...Very well, they are all "loyal ministers" of the Great Jin Dynasty...
"Since there was no hope of saving the emperor, Gou Xi took in several princes who had escaped death, temporarily established a base in Kaifeng, and even created a crown prince."
"In a way, Gou Xi could be considered a loyal subject of the Jin Dynasty, but at this moment, Shi Le still set his sights on this temporary base."
"However, before Shi Le even targeted Kaifeng, Gou Xi had already sealed his fate."
"Perhaps he was too fascinated by the taste of power, and being of humble origin, he picked up the bad habits of the Sima family and became arrogant, keeping thousands of servants. Even when people advised him against it, Gou Xi chose to send him straight to his death."
"What's worse, the chaotic times at that time were accompanied by natural disasters such as famine and plague. Gou Xi's side was no exception; he not only lost the hearts of the people, but also caused many to abandon him and flee."
"Originally, I followed him just to survive, but now you've chosen to give up. Who wouldn't run away?"
"Therefore, in September of the fifth year of Yongjia, Gou Xi was captured by Shi Le. He fared better than other members of the Sima family; at least he survived for a few more months."
Wan Chaozhongren: If your name has an extra stroke, you won't have to spend most of your life busy.
"After that, the situation in the Central Plains and the north became even more complicated. Wang Mi hated Shi Le. This Prince Juan, running around, was making a name for himself everywhere. Who was he trying to kill? Showing off how great he was!"
"Thus, Wang Mi's assassination plan against Shi Le was launched. However, Shi Le was an emperor after all, and luck was not on his side. So the result was that he failed to kill Shi Le and instead gave away his life and a large army to Shi Le."
"From this moment on, another part of Jin began to have a new name in history: the southward migration of the elite."
