The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 56 Wang Yunshi and Sun Rui

Zuofufeng, Huaili County.

This place is not far from Chang'an and is the seat of Fufeng County, so it is very lively with people coming and going.

"You shouldn't do this."

"I do not know what to do."

In a wine cellar in Huaili Market, two people sat opposite each other, looking at each other's faces through the little light coming through the gap.

"Slandering the Emperor... Jun Rong! What on earth do you want to do?"

"Moreover, you instigated the head of the village and openly defied the imperial decree. This can already be called disobedience!"

Who would have thought that the two people in the cellar were Wang Yun and Shisun Rui, who could not be found even after searching all over Guanzhong.

It's mainly a question of location.

When they learned that Wang Yun was missing, both Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo thought of the east first, but did not think of Huaili in the west at all.

Because the west is a dead end for Wang Yun!

Shi Sun Rui did not answer Wang Yun's question, but praised: "Hiding in Huaili, Master Zi's plan is really perfect."

"If we had run eastward, I'm afraid we would have been tied up and handed over to Dong Zhuo."

Wang Yun snorted.

“Isn’t the situation just as bad now?”

"Not to mention that Zi Yan (Huang Wan) has been captured and imprisoned by Dong Zhuo. Even my nephew Wang Ling, who was sent to Hedong to deliver the letter, has been intercepted, letting Dong Zhuo know that I have secretly contacted the princes of Guandong to attack. This has already lost the initiative!"

"Dong Zhuo will find out sooner or later anyway."

"no the same!"

Wang Yun was so angry with his old friend.

"In military affairs, the most important thing is to defeat the enemy's strategy!"

"The Guandong coalition suffered a defeat last time, and they are already fearful. It will be extremely difficult to unite again."

"Now that Dong Zhuo has learned the intelligence in advance, he is likely to take the initiative to send troops to Hedong to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, so that the princes of Guandong will lose their energy!"

"A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step! Jun Rong! Do you know that your making trouble out of nothing will directly lead to failure, and it is very likely to ruin the final plan?"

The person who knows you best is always your enemy.

Even though Guanzhong had not yet begun to mobilize troops on a large scale, Wang Yun, relying on his familiarity with Dong Zhuo, had already guessed that Dong Zhuo would take the initiative and send troops to Hedong!
Wang Yun acted prudently.

The princes of Guandong have already failed once, so it is extremely difficult to unite them. It is even more difficult to unite them and attack Dong with all their strength!
He originally thought that he could secretly let the Guandong coalition forces mobilize their troops and supplies, and when the time was right, he would directly attack Guanzhong with a thundering blow and kill Dong Zhuo!
But unexpectedly, Shisun Rui revealed his true colors in advance, causing the emperor and Dong Zhuo to be furious and want to arrest them, and also discovered his plan.

If Wang Yun had not already mastered the art of cultivating his Qi, he would have been unable to resist giving Shisun Rui a beating.

"So what if I'm exposed?"

Shisun Rui disagreed with Wang Yun's words.

"Even if we have less time to prepare, can't the Guandong coalition army break into Guanzhong?"

"Master Zi, didn't you read the manifesto issued by the court a few days ago?"

"This time, Dong Zhuo directly broke off relations with Yuan Shao!"

"Now Yuan Shao has occupied the entire Ji Province, and his military force is many times stronger than last time! This time Yuan Shao is furious, and he will definitely attack with all his strength. Why are we afraid of Yuan Shao's failure?"

Shi Sun Rui danced in the dim cellar: "As long as Yuan Shao attacks Guanzhong and kills Dong Zhuo, he can clear my name and restore my Shi Sun Rui's reputation!"

Wang Yun was shocked at this moment!

"Jun Rong! Is this what you pursue? Is this your ambition?"

Wang Yun's voice seemed to be filled with tears.

"Shouldn't our ambition be to eliminate the Han traitors and revive the Han Dynasty?"

"You ignore the overall situation just for your reputation and for yourself. How can you be worthy of those old friends who died because of the resistance against the thief Dong!" In the past, Shisun Rui would probably still feel guilty, thinking about the old friends whom he dared not let into his dreams.

But now, he just felt that Wang Yun was noisy and hypocritical!
"It's not your Prince Master whose reputation is ruined!"

Shisun Rui's reply made Wang Yun's eyes widen in disbelief. He tried his best to see the other person's face through the gray fog between them, to see the face of this old friend whom he had known for decades.

"Is not it?"

Shi Sun Rui slammed the table and said, "Although you and I are both wanted by the court, if you, Wang Yun, die, you will die as a hero who opposed Dong! But what about me, Shi Sun Rui? I am still a joke! I am still a Confucian scholar who doesn't know etiquette! I am still an unfilial son who brings shame to my ancestors!"

"If you were in the same situation as me, would you still say such high-sounding words?"

Wang Yun was in a complicated mood at this moment, feeling absurd, desperate, and tired.

"Does Jun Rong think that what I, Wang Yun, have been planning for these years is just to pursue my own reputation?"

"Is not it?"

……

Wang Yun laughed.

The smile was like a cuckoo crying blood, very miserable.

“I never thought that I, Wang Yun, would be such a person in Jun Rong’s mind!”

"No wonder you spread rumors about the emperor, no wonder you hindered the court's new policies that benefit the people. It turns out that from the beginning to the end, you and I have never been on the same page!"

Wang Yun found it ridiculous.

He shook his head and walked away.

Shisun Rui was listening in the dark, listening to Wang Yun's heavy breathing and his staggering steps as he walked up the steps to the cellar one step at a time.

For some reason, Shisun Rui suddenly felt a little regretful at this moment.

"Master Zi, it's not like that..."

Although these words had just been spoken, Shisun Rui's memory of them was a little vague, as if this turbid cellar made his mind unclear.

As Wang Yun’s closest comrade-in-arms, how could Shisun Rui not know Wang Yun’s ambitions?

Even if there was some resentment in his heart, it should be directed at Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu, and the court. How could he be angry at his best friend?
I looked around, but felt a little confused.

Looking back, there was no trace of him.

The empty cellar is just like Shisun Rui's empty heart at this moment.

"Could it be that I really ruined Master Zi's plan?"

Shisun Rui suddenly became flustered.

At this moment, he suddenly didn't care about his reputation.

He was now only thinking about how to remedy the situation, how to make Wang Yun's plan successful, how to get rid of Dong Zhuo and revive the Han Dynasty.

Shisun Rui hesitated for a while, then finally packed his bag, got up and walked out.

Just after Shisun Rui left.

Wang Yun, who had just left in despair, came back.

In Wang Yun's hands, he was holding a roasted chicken and a pot of wine.

"Jun Rong, my words were a bit harsh just now. I understand your suffering. Come, eat some meat and drink some wine, and things will eventually pass."

But when Wang Yun saw the empty cellar, he was a little confused for a moment.

"Jun Rong?"

"Where on earth have you been?"
