The battle report of the invasion of Shu reached Luoyang when Sima Zhao was having his imperial daydream, almost stumbling down the Lingyun Terrace.

The seven-year-old Emperor Cao Huan, still not fully understanding, couldn't help but laugh at his embarrassment from behind.

Sima Zhao turned his head fiercely and said, "Sooner or later--"

Sooner or later, what? Sooner or later he would seize power. He had many supporters in Cao Wei, and although there were also many opponents, Deng Ai and Zhong Hui were his men, and this army of over a hundred thousand was the foundation on which he relied.

But sixty to seventy thousand had died, forty to fifty thousand surrendered, and only three thousand had returned out of those who had fled in disarray.

Now there was nothing left.

He felt the pressure on his head increase once again.

Liu Shan also couldn't sleep.

He knew, he knew! He stood up, walked two rounds in the hall, and sat down again, not even lasting a moment.

He quickly sat up, "What about the fish! Where are the fish I recently raised in the pond?"

The fish hadn't even grown, and now this had happened.

He flipped through the battle report, then had the court eunuch read it aloud.

After the reading, he stood up and called the eunuch, proudly sending the battle report to Qiao Zhou, Du Qiong, and the others who always sought peace, instructing them to convey it to the officials word by word, copying it three hundred times and posting it all over Yizhou. Yes, they should also compare the casualties of our army to see what it means to be... He lowered his head and looked at the four words below the battle report: "Heaven blesses our Han."

Then, Liu Shan brought a few snow-white swans from the rear garden and began plucking their feathers himself.

Empress Zhang was puzzled, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? Making a fan," Liu Shan said. "In the past, Father Emperor gave the Prime Minister a personally woven hat, which he liked very much and kept for many years. Now if I personally make a fan--"

He thought of something and suddenly stood up.

"Wait, General Dong and the others have all returned. Why hasn't the Grand General and my... teacher returned?!"
