As　one　who　died　to　save　his　forbears　shame。

With　grievous　mien　and　falling　tears　he　bowed

His　head；　declaring　his　intent　to　die。

While　such　a　memory　lingers　none　may　say

That　the　Han　Dynasty　has　perished。

When　the　Latter　Ruler　knew　of　the　death　of　his　son；　he　sent　people　to　bury　him。

Soon　the　main　body　of　the　Wei　army　came。　The　Latter　Ruler　and　all　his　courtiers　to　the　number　of　sixty　went　out　three　miles　from　the　north　gate　to　bow　their　heads　in　submission；　the　Latter　Ruler　binding　himself　with　cord　and　taking　a　coffin　with　him。　But　Deng　Ai　with　his　own　hands　loosened　the　bonds　and　raised　the　Latter　Ruler　from　the　ground。　The　coffin　was　burned。　Then　the　victorious　leader　and　the　vanquished　Emperor　returned　into　the　city　side　by　side。

Weis　legions　entered　Shu；

And　the　ruler　thereof　saved　his　life

At　the　price　of　his　honor　and　his　throne。

Huang　Haos　vicious　counsels　had　brought　disaster

Against　which　Jiang　Weis　efforts　were　vain。

How　bright　shone　the　loyalty　of　the　faithful　one！

How　noble　was　the　grandson　of　the　First　Ruler！

Alas！　It　led　him　into　the　way　of　sorrow。

And　the　plans　of　the　First　Ruler；

Excellent　and　far…reaching。

Whereby　he　laid　the　foundations　of　a　mighty　state；

Were　brought　to　nought　in　one　day。

The　mon　people　rejoiced　at　the　magnanimity　of　Deng　Ai；　and　met　the　returning　cavalcade　with　burning　incense　and　flowers。　The　title　of　General　of　the　Flying　Cavalry　was　given　to　the　Latter　Ruler　and　other　ranks　were　given　to　the　ministers　who　had　surrendered。

Deng　Ai　requested　the　Latter　Ruler　to　issue　one　more　proclamation　from　the　Palace　to　reassure　the　people；　and　then　the　conquerors　took　formal　possession　of　the　state　and　its　granaries　and　storehouses。　Two　officers………Governor　of　Yizhou　Zhang　Shao　and　Minister　Zhang　Jung………were　sent　into　the　counties　and　territories　to　explain　the　new　situation　and　pacify　malcontents；　and　another　messenger　was　sent　to　exhort　Jiang　Wei　to　yield　peaceably。　A　report　of　the　success　was　sent　to　Capital　Luoyang。

Huang　Hao；　the　eunuch　whose　evil　counsels　had　wrought　such　ruin　to　his　master；　was　looked　upon　as　a　danger；　and　Deng　Ai　decided　to　put　him　to　death。　However；　Huang　Hao　was　rich；　and　he　gave　bribes　to　Deng　Ais　people；　and　so　he　escaped　the　death　penalty。

Thus　perished　the　House　of　Han。　Reflecting　on　its　end　a　poet　recalled　the　exploits　of　Zhuge　Liang　the　Martial　Lord；　and　he　wrote　a　poem。

The　denizens　of　tree…tops；　apes　and　birds；

Most　lawless　of　crested　things；　yet　knew

And　feared　his　mordant　pen。　The　clouds　and　winds

Conspired　to　aid　him　to　defend　his　lord。

But　nought　awaited　the　leaders　precepts；　wise
