The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

"Writing a letter to Zhu Ran? What does Secretary Jia mean by this?"

"What the court wants to test now is whether Li Shu's surrender is true or false."

"If Li Shu's surrender is fake, Zhu Ran, as the commander of the Jiangdong front, must know the whole story and why not just take advantage of him."

"It's impossible to test Li Shu and Zhu Ran just by letters!"

Jia Xu nodded slightly: "Indeed."

"But the person I want to test is not Li Shu."

Don’t test Li Shu?
Even Xun You became curious at this moment.

"If you don't test Li Shu, then who should you test?"

"Zhu Ran."

Why is it related to Zhu Ran again?

However, Zhong Yao and Xun You were both talented people who had experienced both official and private life, and they quickly understood what Jia Xu meant!
"Secretary Jia is really... Tsk! If he doesn't make a move, it's fine, but once he does, it's a stunning success!"

Zhong Yao was impressed.

Just now, he and Xun You both fell into a misunderstanding.

That is to confirm whether Li Shu's words are true or false.

In order to prove Li Shu's words, the court had to take some risks.

But at this time, you can change your thinking——

That is now, assuming that Li Shu’s surrender is fake!

If Zhu Ran knew about the letter but did not take any action, it would prove that Zhu Ran had indeed known about Li Shu's rebellion long ago.

Zhu Ran’s inaction can prove that the proposition that “Li Shu’s surrender was fake” is true.

If Zhu Ran took action, it would naturally prove that "Li Shu really surrendered"!
Jia Xu explained: "Recently, the trend of retro style is quite popular, and I have also read some books by famous authors."

“For example, the theory that a white horse is not a horse, although people in later generations all thought it was absurd, after careful consideration, they found that there was some truth in it.”

"I thought of Li Shu and Zhu Ran today, and I unconsciously used the methods of famous masters to test this battle."

……

Liu Xie, standing beside him, silently summarized Jia Xu's current strategy into two words:

logic!

New things are not just Kongming lanterns and Kongming mirrors, but also other things...

Liu Xie was pleased and said, "Wenhe's plan is very good!"

But Xun You discovered a blind spot——

"Your Majesty, isn't this plan too cruel for Li Shu?"

Li Shu surrendered to the court, but Jia Xu sold him out...

In the future, Zhu Ran or Sun Quan might even massacre Li Shu's clan to deter others in order to prevent such incidents!
Moreover, it can be predicted that the people of Wan County will inevitably suffer heavy losses in the future... This move is really against the harmony of nature!

"Will it harm the harmony of heaven? As long as it doesn't harm the harmony of culture, that's fine."

In the end, it was Liu Xie who made the final decision.

"Just follow Wenhe's plan."

"Tell Gao Shun to temporarily suspend the offensive and set up camp in Shu County."

"I also want to see whether there will be a fight between Li Shu and Zhu Ran, or whether they are just colluding with each other to trick the imperial court!"

"Here!"

After Jia Xu responded, he noticed that Zhong Yao and Xun You both had strange looks in their eyes.

"Jia Zhongshu's skills are still as strong as they were in the past!"

Zhong Yao was fine, but Xun You was almost chopped off by Jia Xu with a smile on his face...

So when he saw Jia Xu like this again today, Xun You couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, as if it had triggered an old trauma...

"I am nothing."

Jia Xu glanced back.

There, it is the South.

"Compared to him, these are just trifles and not worth mentioning."

Zhong Yao and Xun You not only hold high positions, but are also among those who have followed the emperor the longest, so they have naturally heard of some secrets. "Is Li Wenyou what Jia Zhongshu is talking about?"

"He has been silent for so many years. Many people even said that he might be dead. What does Secretary Jia think Li Wenyou might do?"

"It's not possible, it's certain."

……

There is Jia Xu outside and Li Ru inside.

As an enemy, facing this situation, I'm afraid I would be extremely scared...

But when Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu's figure at this moment, he felt particularly at peace, and even his anxiety was relieved a lot.

"In that case, let's get started."

"If Zhu Ran doesn't attack Li Shu, it proves that Li Shu has truly surrendered."

"After that, it will be a thunderous strike to clear Jiangbei in one fell swoop!"

……

……

Ruxukou.

When Zhu Ran received the letter from Li Shu, he felt dizzy for a while, and then he stood up immediately -

"I'm going to Wu County!"

The soldiers under his command were shocked when they heard this!

The war is about to break out. As a general, how can Zhu Ran not be in the army?

"No! I must go!"

Zhu Ran was indeed unaware of Li Shu's plan to rebel!
But Zhu Ran still wanted to confirm that Li Shu was the real traitor and not the Jiangdong family's backup!

Otherwise, the current situation would be too terrible for Jiangdong!

Once Li Shu rebels and An County is lost, the imperial army will no longer have any obstacles in the north of the Yangtze River and can move forward unhindered, allowing the soldiers of Jingzhou and Huainan to unite as one!
And yet!
Li Shu was born into a local aristocratic family and had deep roots in Wan County!
Even if Zhu Ran knew about this now, he would have no way to counter Li Shu!
So now Zhu Ran can only pray that Li Shu is pretending to surrender...

……

"I never gave Li Shu such an order."

Zhu Ran rushed to Jiangdong overnight, but Sun Quan looked confused.

When Gu Yong was called over to ask questions, and Zhu Ran got this answer that made him despair, there was even more silence...

"Li Shu, is he really going to surrender? Doesn't he know what the imperial court's attitude is towards aristocratic families?"

Sun Quan still can't believe it.

Li Shu was obviously born into a noble family, so how could he be so superficial as to choose a "dead end"?
Gu Yong frowned.

"Of course the imperial court cannot accommodate the entire Jiangdong family... but it can accommodate a Li Shu."

"..."

The atmosphere gradually became so heavy that it made people dare not breathe.

"Does Li Shu know now that we have seen through his intentions?"

"Wan County's security was not strict, and Gao Shun was stationed in Shu County and did not go to take over Wan County, so Li Shu should not have noticed it yet."

"kill him!"

The person who said this was not Gu Yong, but Sun Quan!

Sun Quan, who always appeared gentle, finally showed his fangs at this moment, and became as wild as a wounded beast.

Gu Yong and Zhu Ran also agreed with this!
but……

Since Li Shu has betrayed, he must not send a large army to Wan County, and he must not let high-ranking officials like Gu Yong go there, otherwise his intentions would be too obvious and would alert the enemy.

A person with an inconspicuous identity, but at the same time he has the ability to get rid of Li Shu, and even control the situation after getting rid of Li Shu...

For Jiangdong, it may not be easy to find such a person!
But Sun Quan soon remembered someone——

"I recently hired a new chief clerk. He is smart and capable, and he handles government affairs with great maturity. His official documents and memorials are also very impressive... We should send him there."

"Oh? Who is Wu Hou talking about?"

"Han Dang's son - Han Zong." (End of this chapter)
