The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Han Zong's heart skipped a beat after getting the emperor's reply!
The legendary emperor actually responded to me!

Although to be precise the emperor was responding to Li Ru, it made no difference to Han Zongzong.

He knew that from today on, the emperor had officially heard his name!
As long as you don't do anything stupid in the future, you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life!

"what!"

Gao Shun saw Han Zong's excitement and encouraged him a few words -

"If you can really complete Li Ru's plan, your future will be limitless."

"If I continue my studies, I might be able to establish a state and become a local lord!"

Princes.

Han Zong's Adam's apple trembled up and down, but Han Zong quickly and decisively shook his head.

"That's not something I should covet!"

"If General Gao is able to establish a state in the future and needs a minister, he can help me a little!"

"..."

Gao Shun finally looked at Han Zong differently.

As they spent these days together, I realized that Han Zong lacked wisdom and had limited bravery... but at least he was a sensible person who knew when to advance and retreat.

It's no wonder that Li Ru chose him as his contact person for this operation. It seems that Li Ru really did a careful screening...

"In that case, I won't go to Wan County. According to Li Ru's plan, I will prepare in Shu County."

"If the situation changes, you can directly seek refuge with the token of the trap camp."

"Here!"

……

Arrived in Shu County.

Lujiang prefect Li Shu received the news early.

At first, he was also wondering what Sun Quan's intention was in suddenly sending an envoy to reward him.
Is it a real reward, or has he discovered my feelings?
Li Shu has been anxious and uneasy, and even had the urge to contact Gao Shun directly and ask the court to take over Wan County to protect his own safety first!

But on the other hand, Li Shu was somewhat unwilling...

The price has not yet been agreed upon with the court.

To be precise, there was almost no movement from the imperial court...

Wanxian must be worth a good price!

If he couldn't buy back wealth and glory for his descendants in the Han Dynasty, why should he surrender?

So... Li Shu was also struggling and in a dilemma.

However, when Li Shu learned that Han Zong and his group had actually gone to Shu County, his anxiety was swept away!

If Han Zong really had some secret mission and was ordered by Sun Quan to capture him, then how could he have gone to Shu County in the middle?
"It seems to be just an ordinary reward to ease my mind."

However, Li Shu was used to being cautious. At the banquet to welcome Han Zong and his party, he still ambushed swordsmen outside. He also carried a short blade to guard against Han Zong!
After Han Zong led a group of Jiangdong attendants to Wan County, he read out Sun Quan's rewards as usual, and then invited these attendants to eat and drink to their heart's content!
After three rounds of drinking.

It was not until these servants were all tipsy that Han Zong quietly came to Li Shu's seat and whispered:

"Tai Shou Li, have you and Marquis Wu already had second thoughts?"

Because Han Zong had put his hand in his arms when he approached, Li Shu was already on guard.

Hearing this, Li Shu was even more shocked! He was about to take out the sharp blade in his arms! !

"Don't worry, Governor. We are all family!"

Fortunately, Han Zong was quicker in the end and was the first to take out the token of Gao Shun's camp.

"I am following the order of the Emperor. I have an important matter to discuss with Governor Li!"

Li Shu: ???
Why did the envoy from the Marquis of Wu suddenly act on orders from the Emperor?

"Are you kidding me?" "Here is the token of the Xianzhen Camp... Doesn't Governor Li recognize it?"

"It is true that the emperor gave me an oral order, but time was tight and I didn't get a token."

"If you don't believe it, send someone close to you to Shu County and ask!"

Li Shu looked at Han Zong suspiciously, his doubts obviously not subsiding.

"You said you were following the emperor's orders... Han Zong! I know you! Your father, Han Dang, died in the Battle of Yiling. How could you possibly surrender to the imperial court?"

"It is precisely because of this that you can become a close minister of the Marquis of Wu and become the envoy this time... I am afraid what I said is correct, right?"

Han Zong shook his head and said, "My father was originally under the command of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and he was an enemy of the imperial court as a traitor."

"Now that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have returned to the court, what do I have to worry about? And if I don't surrender to the court, my father will be a traitor to the Han Dynasty for the rest of his life... On the contrary, if I turn from evil to good, my father's stigma of being a traitor to the Han Dynasty can be washed away."

"But you... Governor Li, you come from a noble family and should be irreconcilable with the imperial court. Why do you want to do such a thing?"

Li Shu thought what Han Zong said made sense and began to trust him to some extent.

I couldn't help but shake my head at Han Zong——

"I am in Jiangbei, and you are in Jiangnan. There are many things you don't know."

"Does Lord Wu know how powerful the imperial court is now?"

"The merchant ships on the Yangtze River can cover the entire surface of the river! The fields along the Huai River are everywhere, and the grain in the warehouses is piled up like a mountain! There are also craftsmen and doctors..."

"I'm in Lujiang, in Wanxian, and I see things in the north more clearly."

"There is no hope for Jiangdong, and there is no hope for the aristocratic families either."

"Even if Jiang Dong can win now, what about next time? What about the next time?"

"The emperor is now in his prime, and his prestige is comparable to that of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Guangwu. Even if Jiangdong can stop this attack, what can it do?"

Lujiang is the only territory of Jiangdong in the north of the Yangtze River, and it is almost the only place where one can see the splendor of the Han Dynasty.

Words may lie, but facts cannot.

During the years Li Shu stayed in Lujiang, he witnessed the recovery and rise of the Han Dynasty, so he knew that the Han Dynasty was unstoppable.

Even some scholars and common people who originally lived in Lujiang had to flee to the north, to the Han Dynasty...

In such a situation, how could the Jiangdong family turn defeat into victory?
"I see."

Han Zong doesn’t know how Da Han has developed over the years.

After all, Jiangdong was a separatist region, and at the same time, the aristocratic families and the small-time Confucian scholars still held the right to speak, and the theory of the correspondence between heaven and man was still popular. The external knowledge such as "Lunheng" and "Zhu Zi Bai Jia" was all attacked as alien, and the news was completely blocked.

Now, after hearing the eyewitness Li Shu personally speak out about the gap between the two places, Han Zong once again felt that he had chosen the right path after all!

"Taishuai Li and I really share the same ideals."

Seeing that Li Shu was still on guard, Han Zong also said, "If I really wanted to harm you, why would I get others drunk and talk to you alone?"

"Besides, whether my words are true or not, Governor Li can find out by just sending someone with a fast horse to Shu County to ask, isn't it?"

……

Li Shu still shook his head: "What you said makes sense, but I don't know how you got in touch with the court? Did Gao Shun and the emperor trust you just because you went to Shu County once?"

"Of course not."

Han Zong laughed.

"In terms of age, you are the elder."

"But when it comes to turning from darkness to light, I was much earlier than you!"

"To be honest, the reason I'm here is all because of Mr. Li Ru's plan!"

Li Shu's eyes lit up: "Li Ru, Li Wenyou?"

"That's right!" (End of this chapter)
