The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Han Zong was appointed as an envoy to reward Li Shu.

This was only what happened on the surface, so the people traveling with Han Zong all thought that Han Zong was just a messenger and did not take him seriously.

Only a few people like Zhu Ran knew how dangerous what Han Zong did this time was!
"Would you like me to send more people?"

"No, if we go too often, Li Shu might get suspicious."

"So is there anything else you need?"

Zhu Ran is full of admiration for Han Zong.

Han Zong was able to remain so calm when he knew he was going to Wan County!

What kind of firm character does it take to be able to not care at all when facing life and death?
Therefore, Zhu Ran has decided to obey Han Zong and assist him in completing this task with all his strength!
What Zhu Ran didn't know was that Han Zong didn't really care about life or death at the time, he just didn't react in time...

Now on board the warship heading to Jiangbei, Han Zong could no longer help shivering, but the Yangtze River was stormy today, and the ship was bobbing and rolling, so Zhu Ran did not notice anything unusual.

"Need not."

Han Zong thought of the words Li Ru taught him -

"For this kind of thing, the more people go there and the more actions they take, the more likely it is that Li Shu will become suspicious."

"For this matter, I alone and a few followers are enough..."

After all, the more people there are, the greater the risk of exposing the true identity of the Korean variety show.

If you end up making things worse, it would not be a good thing.

When Zhu Ran heard that Han Zong was going alone, he felt a sense of “even if there are thousands of people, I will go alone” and he admired him again!
"I wish you a successful trip!"

"nature!"

However, Han Zong still has one real thing to clarify with Zhu Ran——

“On this trip, I will not go directly to Wan County, but will go to Shu County as an envoy to meet Gao Shun who is stationed there.”

How is it related to the court?

Zhu Ran was a little confused: "Why are you going to Shu County? This time, you should be dealing with Li Shu, right?"

"I went to Shu County just for Li Shu."

Han Zong thought of the whole plan that Li Ru had forced into his mind before he left, and he was glad that he had left Jiangdong... Otherwise, Li Ru alone would be enough to make Jiangdong suffer!
"Going to Shu County, are you for Li Shu?"

"Exactly!"

Han Zong asked Zhu Ran——

"What military exploits has Li Shu achieved recently?"

"No."

"Then can Li Shu's relationship with Wu Hou be considered close?"

"Of course not."

"Why did the Marquis of Wu send me to give Li Shu the reward at this time? Wouldn't Li Shu be suspicious if I went there so suddenly?"

Zhu Ran took a deep breath.

Obviously.

Everyone was so anxious to get rid of Li Shu as quickly as possible that they didn't even notice such a huge flaw in the plan!

Li Shu had no military achievements and was not a close confidant of Sun Quan. So why did Sun Quan send an envoy to reward him at this time?
Li Shu is a cunning and shrewd person, so he must have many concerns about this matter! So Han Zong naturally cannot "eliminate" Li Shu as planned!
"So, if we go directly to Wan County, we will definitely alert the enemy!"

Han Zong guided Zhu Ran——

"My purpose cannot be just to reward Li Shu, otherwise it will be too conspicuous."

"I can serve as an envoy sent by the Marquis of Wu to the Han army... Anyway, the Han army has always treated envoys well, and Zhuge Ziyu went there several times without being troubled by the emperor, so I will just go through the motions."

"After that, we can 'take the opportunity' to go to Wan County to reward Li Shu and urge him to reorganize the city and prepare to meet the enemy. Isn't this a more brilliant strategy?"

high!
It’s really high!

Zhu Ran didn't expect that Han Zong had thought of so much!

And Han Zong also kept praising in his heart - high! Really high!
The set of rhetoric that Li Ru taught Han Zong created a perfect opportunity for Han Zong and Gao Shun to get in touch with each other, giving the two a chance to meet without arousing Zhu Ran's suspicion!
Once Li Ru and Gao Shun get in touch, the battle situation in Jiangdong will be settled, and there will be no more twists and turns!

"Okay! Okay! I'll prepare some gifts for you right away and let you go to Gao Shun's camp first!"

Zhu Ran was overjoyed!

Jiangdong is truly saved if it has someone like Han Zong!
"General Zhu, I actually have something else to ask of you."

"My dear brother, you are being too formal. Just call me by my courtesy name Yifeng!"

Zhu Ran really regarded Han Zong as the hope to save Jiangdong.

"Just tell me what you need! I will definitely help you get it done!"

"Thank you, Brother Yifeng..."

The Korean variety show finally "shows its true colors"——

"Actually, I want to complete this matter perfectly this time."

"Although Li Shu's chances of success are very high, there is also a chance of failure."

"If we fail... Brother Yifeng must immediately lead his troops to Wan County to fight Li Shu!"

Zhu Ran's expression changed.

Don’t plan for victory, plan for defeat first!
Although the Korean variety show performed well, it is indeed as Han Zong said, how can such a thing be 100% successful?

If he fails, Li Shu will definitely notice something strange.

By then, Zhu Ran will definitely make a last-ditch effort to attack Li Shu and take back Wan County!
but……

"But Gao Shun is eyeing Shu County covetously, and behind him stands the dragon banner of the Han emperor."

"Once we fight with Li Shu, it will be a case of the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman benefits."

"Therefore, we must think of a way to shock Gao Shun and the emperor!"

Zhu Ran: ???
What did he hear?
The Korean variety show actually wants to intimidate the pillars of the Han Dynasty and the emperor?
Who in this world can intimidate them?

Even Japan and Goguryeo could not make the emperor compromise. What can Jiangdong do now?
"Hiss! My dear brother! This is a bit far-fetched..."

"No!"

Han Zong showed a "strong and unyielding" expression——

"Even Gao Shun, even the invincible Xianzhen Camp, even the invincible emperor, there are things they fear after all!"

"What?"

"gunpowder!"

Han Zong held Zhu Ran's hand and said, "Only gunpowder can threaten the court! Threaten the emperor!"

"Brother Yifeng, please give me some gunpowder so that I can take it to Gao Shun and show the Jiangdong spirit. I would rather die with honor than live in disgrace!"

"At the same time, please ask Brother Yifeng to transport the gunpowder to Ruxukou one by one! Confirm this matter!"

Zhu Ran opened his mouth in shock.

Han Zong, actually wanted to threaten the Han people with gunpowder?

But don't say...

Don't tell me!
Zhu Ran had seen the power of gunpowder!

That kind of devastating power can really make anyone afraid!
Even... the emperor who created it would probably be afraid of its power!
If what Han Zong said was really done, maybe it would be possible to scare the emperor and buy time for Jiangdong to pacify Li Shu!

"My dear brother, you are truly talented! But this gunpowder is a secret after all, and even I cannot use it at will..."

"fine."

Han Zong deliberately acted indifferent and showed no interest in gunpowder at all.

"Even without gunpowder, we can give it a try."

"But if I die at the hands of Li Shu, you will not be able to avenge me. Instead, you must be on guard against the big men in the north. Do you understand?" (End of this chapter)
