Chapter 129

The flame became more and more intense, covering the entire screen more and more, and with a bang, someone waved it around.

"Prime Minister!"

A voice-over suddenly cut in, reminding the audience that another line had been cut.

The camera took advantage of the trend to focus on the torch and let the audience see the Shu army planning to attack.

"Prime Minister. The front has been found out. The army in Ji County is empty, and the prefect has fled in a hurry. The only thing left is Jiang Wei and a few of his soldiers. Jiang Wei, I don't know what kind of luck he has. He guessed our army earlier. The intention almost ruined the plan of the Northern Expedition... Fortunately, the Wei army was incompetent and defeated too quickly, so that the crops outside the city were too late to harvest. Good crops and good seasons... I heard from the people who came over that the person in charge of field affairs was the Then Jiang Wei."

"Hmph... Now it's been a year in vain, just give it to me."

"Prime Minister, please let me be the vanguard, attack the city, capture that guy alive, and tie him up in front of the Prime Minister, for shame!"

Under the general's call, the Shu army lined up and gradually became orderly. The high platform left for Zhuge Kongming was still empty, waiting for him to sit.

However, the leading cavalry of the Shu army also retreated faintly, leaving a gap for one person to pass through.Like waiting for someone.

Zhuge Kongming was dazed when he saw that, and he said after a long time, "Don't kill indiscriminately in this battle, after capturing the enemy generals..."

He paused slightly, stared ahead, and said with a slightly heavier tone, "I have other plans. Don't be rude."

Zhuge Kongming's gaze stayed on the brown-red horse, and a gust of wind blew up the horse's mane.

"Da da da!"

Horseshoes fly.

The voice-over said, "General!"

It turned out that it was Jiang Wei's story line again.He led his own soldiers to the prefect overnight and asked for military support.

However, the eunuch Ma Zun stayed behind closed doors and ordered someone to shout at the city gate:

"Jiang Zhonglang, please go back! There are no soldiers left in the city."

Jiang Wei knocked on the door angrily, "Ji County is about to fall, and the people are about to be bullied. Do you just watch it happen?"

Wei Jun in the city didn't answer him, but led archers to stand on the wall and draw their bowstrings.

Jiang Wei and others had to turn around and return.

On the way back, Jiang Wei vaguely saw the messy crops in the field, so he asked his subordinates: "Has the Shu army attacked Tianshui City?"

The subordinate said, "If Ji county is not broken, how can there be Shu army in Tianshui?"

Jiang Wei didn't speak, got off his horse, lit a torch, and went to the field to carefully look at the fallen crops.

Obviously, Wei Jun fled too hastily and couldn't maintain the formation, so he just headed back to the city.

Moreover, he has already given up outside the city, fearing that the Shu army will get the food, and it may even be intentional.

"But what about the people?"

Jiang Wei was talking to himself.

His subordinates replied, "When the false emperor of Shu was still alive, he was often forced to retreat. He had to flee with the whole city's people who were willing to follow him, protect them, and distribute his little food. The people wore out their shoes. I also want to follow him... Now that the crops have been trampled to pieces, according to the enemy's habit, they have to use their own army rations as rations for the people, otherwise they will have to slaughter the city and reduce the number of mouths to eat..."

"If you take out the army rations, you will reduce the supplies and you will not be able to attack deeply; if you massacre the city, you will ruin the reputation of the Northern Expedition; but no matter what it is, you must put the Shu army in a dilemma. It is really... a clever plan."

Jiang Weidao, "Using the common people as pawns, is this a clever trick? It's just a poisonous trick."

The subordinate said in a daze, "General..."

"Everyone obeys!"

Everyone, "Yes!"

Jiang Wei held up the torch, letting the light illuminate his whole body, "We surrender in Kaesong."

This torch is burning blazingly. It was originally held by Jiang Wei. The camera was pushed up to capture only the dancing fire. After a few seconds of close-up, the hand was turned into a fixed candlestick when it was pushed down.

Voiceover:

"Prime Minister, this is Jiang Wei."

As for Jiang Wei, he was also half-kneeling, as if bowing to his head, Zhuge Kongming helped him up, "Bo Yue please get up."

The camera cuts the shadows of Zhuge Liang and Jiang Boyue. Under the oil lamp, one standing and the other kneeling on one knee, reflected on the white marching tent, shaking slightly.

Back to the beginning.

And the difference from the beginning is that with Jiang Wei getting up, his and Zhuge Kongming's shadows almost overlapped.

------

This is the whole plot after Jiang Wei's appearance that night. It didn't wait until the next day, but in the night, topics like "New Three Kingdoms", Jiang Wei, Kong Ming and Jiang Wei were constantly fermenting in forums and blogs.

Many former trolls showed mercy, "This is the Three Kingdoms I want to see! The hero I want to see!"

"Director Takagi suddenly changed his ways...reminds me that he has made good films before."

"For Jiang Wei's sake, we can add 0.5 points to "New Three Kingdoms"."

There was also discussion of the acting skills of the actors.

"Does anyone think that Lu Yi's performance in this episode is directly supernatural? It's not the same level as before!"

"That's it!"

Fang Yi's big licking dog Yunfei Yang wrote a long essay of several thousand words as usual, analyzing the mystery of these fragments:

"Jiang Wei's plot is completely different from the superficial painting style before "New Three Kingdoms". If "New Three Kingdoms" is like a TV series that spent a lot of money, Jiang Wei's appearance is not a big scene, but it is everywhere. Movies, there are a lot of symbolic things."

"For example, the light of the fire hints at the Kingdom of Shu. How much it illuminates is the progress. In the end, Jiang Wei raised the torch, he was completely illuminated, and he was completely subdued by Kong Ming... I personally think that this is better than using Jiang Wei. His mother forced him to surrender, which seemed more in line with Kong Ming's character design. After all, Kong Ming was the one who said that after burning the rattan armor, he would say that his life would be damaged; since he wanted to find a trustworthy successor for Shu, he had to find Those who share the same goals with him, not just a general.”

A blogger asked Yunfei Yang, "But, that's how the original novel of the Three Kingdoms was written. Zhuge Liang used Jiang Wei's mother to force him to surrender."

Yunfei Yang explained again, "You also misunderstood this. It was not Jiang Wei's mother who forced Jiang Wei to surrender, but Jiang Wei's mother persuaded Jiang Wei to surrender. Based on the values ​​​​of the Han Dynasty, his widowed mother asked Jiang Wei to go to Wu Kingdom. , he will go obediently; but since it is going to be broadcast today, in order to make the motivation reasonable, I think Takagi made an adaptation in line with current values. For the world, for the people.”

Some people also claimed that since fire represents Ji Han, no matter how bright the fire is in the dark night, it will always burn out, so it also implies that the decline of Shu is inevitable.

Is this going to be over-interpreted?
There are also those who discuss the new Three Kingdoms movement mirror, thinking that this is completely inconsistent with Takagi's previous style, and he seems to have made a very bold attempt.

Of course, the above topics are all very niche.For the public watching TV, they don't feel any difference from before, maybe they just feel that the acting is better... But it doesn't matter, the important thing is.

Jiang Wei is really handsome!
 Let me explain why it was delayed.

  In fact, the process of regaining Jiang Wei was quite long in the original book. After several twists and turns, Jiang Wei’s old mother was also used. There was no plot of offering the city, but he was forced to surrender.It is obviously too late to write all of these, and it is almost done.It is also impossible for a TV series to shoot in such a detailed way.

  In addition, in our time and space, the New Three Kingdoms did not recover Jiang Wei at all, and skipped it directly.Not only that, but throughout the New Three Kingdoms, Jiang Wei was making soy sauce.

  As for the animated version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", perhaps because they thought that the children could not understand the profoundness, they directly asked Jiang Wei to offer the city and surrendered.

  I didn't find out about this until after ten o'clock in the evening.Because I originally thought that the plot of regaining Jiang Wei would be written according to the original work, which is not bad.First I wrote it according to the old Three Kingdoms, and after a while I looked for the animated version for reference.Slowly discover how it is different.

  I didn't expect everyone to change it, hahaha, the change is beyond recognition, I laughed so hard.
