The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Wen Pin, on the other hand, remained calm the entire time.

"In that case, I will stay in Jingzhou!"

Even this kind of credit that was almost earned for nothing was not wanted by Wen Pin, as if his lifelong wish was to protect Jingzhou and his hometown.

Fortunately, everyone knew Wen Pin's temper and no one said much.

Guan Yu cheered up and gave his orders to his subordinates:

"Guan Ping, Kou Feng, you two will lead 10,000 infantrymen to capture Qichun opposite Chaisang, then cross the river from Xunyang and cut off the retreat route of the Chaisang defenders."

"Here!"

"Xingba, Kongming, you two will come with me and lead the navy to attack Chaisang!"

"Here!"

At the same time, Guan Yu also reminded Zhuge Liang——

"Kong Ming, if those warships are ready, let's go together!"

"As long as we take Chaisang, we can immediately go downstream to Moling and attack Wu County!"

"Don't worry, Yunchang... Although Jingzhou is not as good as Handan, Nanyang is a major iron-producing county after all. Now there are hundreds of warships available!"

"it is good!"

Guan Yu stood on the top of Jiangling City, proudly stroking his beard and looking out, watching the Yangtze River rolling in and then rolling away.

This battle will put an end to the wars that have plagued their generation and put an end to any more disputes on the land of China!
……

Wan County.

Zhu Huan arrived with his troops and Li Shu welcomed him warmly.

"I have already contacted Gao Shun secretly. Gao Shun will lead his troops to Shiting tomorrow!"

"Then the general can lead his troops to ambush in advance, and destroy the Xianzhen Camp and kill Gao Shun in one fell swoop!"

"If you can accomplish such a great feat, you will probably be the first person in Jiangdong since the Overlord Xiang Yu!"

Zhu Huan suddenly felt elated.

"That is!"

Li Shu's attitude was humble. He not only prepared wine and meat to reward Zhu Huan's soldiers, but also sent beautiful women to sing and dance. He truly did everything to please Zhu Huan!
"Li Shu, you said before that Wu Hou sent Han Zong to Wan County to seize your military power. Did you kill him?"

Li Shu quickly showed a panic expression: "I just don't accept Sun Quan's treatment of the noble families, but I don't have the intention of rebellion. How dare I kill the envoy of Wu Hou without permission?"

"I have only put him under house arrest, waiting for your decision, General. How can I dictate orders?"

"it is good!"

Zhu Huan became even more delighted when he saw how thoughtful Li Shu was.

"That's right! Although I am here with the troops, I am not here to disobey Lord Wu!"

"After all, we are all here to protect Jiangdong! To protect our clan! We should work together to resist the invaders!"

"That's what the general said!"

"..."

After Li Shu sent a letter to Zhu Huan, Han Zong immediately sent a letter to Zhu Ran who was staying at Ruxukou.

"Something bad happened!"

"Li Shu really has the intention of rebellion! Although I have stabilized him, he has already contacted Gao Shun privately and wants to welcome Gao Shun's army to Wan County!"

"I hope that Brother Yifeng can immediately dispatch troops to ambush Gao Shun at Shiting!"

"It's just that Gao Shun is a famous general in the world, and he has always been cautious. I hope you can raise the flag of the "Entrapment Camp" and pretend to be Han troops to confuse the enemy!"

Zhu Ran was shocked when he received Han Zong's letter, but he never doubted it!
It is not easy to control Li Shu and seize his military power, and it is very easy for things to go wrong.

Some unexpected things happening now are actually within expectations!
"Raise the banner of the Xianzhen Camp and head to the Stone Pavilion! Be quick!"

At the same time, Zhu Ran also sent people to inquire about the situation in Shu County, and found that Gao Shun indeed showed signs of mobilizing troops. He completely put aside his doubts and rushed to Shiting.

Zhu Ran led his troops to Shiting and saw that Gao Shun's army had not arrived yet, so he set up camp there.

At the same time, Zhu Huan also led his troops to Shiting.

Seeing that there were indeed soldiers under the banner of "Xianzhen Camp" at Shiting, Zhu Huan laughed and said, "God help me!"

"Gao Shun actually dared to lead his army to such a cramped place like Shiting. No matter how elite his Xianzhen Camp is, it will be difficult for even a single soldier to escape!"

Although Zhu Huan was arrogant, he was also a good general.

Under Zhu Huan's command, his soldiers quickly completed their deployment in secret, aiming for maximum damage!
And Zhu Ran also noticed something was wrong...

"Why is the swallow flying in the southwest flying over the woods but not landing? Is there an ambush there?"

The more Zhu Ran thought about it, the more worried he became, so he decisively sent scouts to investigate.

The scouts were ordered to investigate and discovered Zhu Huan's army. They hurried over to report in fear.

"General! There are many soldiers carrying my flag in the woods!"

Zhu Ran was stunned for a moment, then he started to curse: "Our army? Bullshit! Our army!"

"It must be Li Shu's army coming to support Gao Shun! Quick! Defeat them immediately! Otherwise, if we are surrounded by Gao Shun, our army will all be buried in Shiting!"

There is absolutely no chance that Jiangdong’s troops will appear in this area now! !

The only ones who could possibly appear are the troops from Anxian County in Li Shu's hands!

In addition, according to Han Zong's intelligence, Gao Shun might arrive at Shiting at any time, leaving Zhu Ran with no time to investigate the specific situation of those troops!
The same is true for Zhu Huan!
Seeing changes in the enemy's camp, Zhu Huan immediately realized that his army might have been discovered!
"As expected of Gao Shun's Xianzhen Camp, they are so alert!"

Since he had been discovered, Zhu Huan did not hesitate.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Zhu Huan's soldiers, who were in ambush, broke out of the jungle and rushed towards Zhu Ran's army!

When Zhu Ran saw the other party coming at him with such a fierce momentum, he was immediately horrified!
"Go ahead! Quick victory!"

Zhu Ran thought that Zhu Huan who appeared here was the one Li Shu used to support Gao Shun's rebels!
However, Zhu Huan thought that Zhu Ran’s army that appeared here was Gao Shun’s trap camp!

The incomplete intelligence from both sides came together, leading to this war!

Soldiers charge!

Without taking the time to reminisce with the enemy, the two sides collided with each other in a moment!
"Damn you! Rebels!"

"Oh! Do you think your court is upright?"

"Who the hell is the court???"

"???"

"..."

Soon, the soldiers discovered something was wrong.

I can actually understand what the other person is saying!

The Wu dialect has always been known for its obscurity.

And now they can actually understand each other...

The soldiers on Zhu Huan's side immediately became anxious: "I am from Jiangdong!"

The soldiers on Zhu Ran's side thought that the other party was saying that they were Li Shu's subordinates, and immediately snorted coldly: "We are going to fight against you traitors!"

"You are the traitor!!!"

"..."

chaos!
What a mess!
Although there is always chaos on a battlefield, the chaos on the battlefield today made Zhu Huan and Zhu Ran realize that something was wrong.

"Whose army is on the other side???"

Desperate to know the answer.

However, with nearly 20,000 people crowded in this narrow stone pavilion, it was impossible for the two sides to communicate effectively!
After all, most of the time, soldiers on the battlefield have only one mission, and that is to kill the enemy who is dressed differently from them!!
Doubts from the top!
The middle class is confused!
The chaos at the bottom!
Should we fight this war or stop it?

And after a moment, Zhu Ran was the first to react!
Fell into a trap!
No matter who is on the other side, Jiang Dong has fallen for a huge lie!
"Han Zong!!" Zhu Ran suddenly roared to the sky, shouting out this name with tears and blood!
"These are all my Jiangdong boys! Han Zong! Han Zong! How dare you do this!"

Zhu Huan also woke up immediately, and his whole body felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him.

wrong!

The person opposite is not Gao Shun!

We are here, killing each other!

Zhu Huan instantly woke up from his dream of being the "number one general in Jiangdong"!
Ruined!
I'm afraid he will be beheaded when he returns!

But the question now is...

Can they... still go back?
"Bang!!!"

A loud bang!
The surrounding heaven and earth seemed to fold suddenly at this moment, and the pillars supporting the sky at the four poles fell down with a roar, stirring up a huge gale!
A flag that Zhu Ran and Zhu Huan had never expected appeared here! It appeared in the stone pavilion!

That red dragon banner of the emperor!!!
"How could the Emperor of Han be here?"

Zhu Ran and Zhu Huan were on both sides of the battlefield, their eyes revealed the same despair...

Son of Heaven, why are you here?

They would rather see Gao Shun's Xianzhen Camp, Zhang Liao's 800 cavalrymen, or even Lu Bu or Cao Cao!
But why... is he the emperor?
Liu Xie was at the top at this moment, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected, I should still appear on this battlefield."

Staying in Shouchun, Liu Xie would only become more anxious.

The reason was that Liu Xie stayed behind and just wanted to do nothing.

The more I think about it, the more anxious I become...

"As expected, people who have experienced troubled times always behave strangely, and I am no exception."

"But from today on, there will never be such a thing again..."

When Liu Xie learned of Li Ru's plan, he was immediately shocked!

Li Ru's plan had already begun when he specifically selected Korean variety shows.

On the one hand, as the son of Han Dang, Han Zong should be loyal to the Sun family.

However, the distorted family politics of Jiangdong meant that people like Han Zong were not valued at all, and were even looked down upon...

Because of the natural positions of the aristocratic families and Han Zong, cracks are bound to appear in the relationship between the two sides.

And Li Ru, through Han Zong's hand, slowly widened this crack...

Among them, there were many people who "helped" Li Ru.

Jiangdong had suffered defeat in the previous Battle of Jingzhou and Battle of Hefei.

Gu Yong was selfless and it seemed that there was nothing wrong in choosing the more talented Zhu Ran as the garrison commander of Huainan. However, in fact, he offended Zhu Huan, who was in charge of the military power of Jiangdong.

And with the outbreak of the Li Shu incident, this rift was completely torn open.

In this plan... Han Zong is not important, the court is not important, and even Li Ru, the mastermind behind the scenes, is not important!

Because the real reason that made this strategy possible was actually Jiangdong’s deformed and outdated political system.

Sun Quan relied on the Jiangdong aristocratic families, but also wanted to gain power from them.

Liu Xie admitted that Sun Quan was very professional in playing this kind of "tightrope walking" type of political checks and balances game, and it was even possible that people like Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Zhuge Liang were slightly inferior to Sun Quan.

But playing with fire means getting burned.

It’s okay to “walk a tightrope.”

But if you can't even see a glimmer of hope at the very front of this "wire", who can guarantee that you won't fail in your lifetime?
Li Ru was just a gentle push in this vortex, something that was bound to happen sooner or later...

"Li Wenyou is still so good at playing with people's hearts..."

"I don't know what will happen after this battle... Never mind. I cannot control someone like him."

Liu Xie looked leisurely at the chaotic battlefield below——

"It is more important to solve the current problems first."

"The more I think about it, the more upset I become."

"Let's focus on the present and secure victory in this battle!"

The dragon banner was blown up by the strong wind.

The red cloak behind Liu Xie was also rolled up.

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Pang De, Zhang Xiu.

Five great Han pillars rushed in from all directions, like five fingers, firmly grasping the Wu army in Shiting, feeling the enemy's heart beating in their hands.

All you have to do next is to squeeze it hard, and then blood and flesh will fly everywhere!
"withdraw!"

The moment Zhu Ran saw the emperor's dragon banner, he knew -

It’s impossible to win this battle!
Not only is it impossible to win, all the troops in Shiting will die!

When the Emperor appears here, no matter how sophisticated the command, how profound the strategy, or how brave the soldiers, they will all be useless!

But Zhu Ran still wants to escape!
Escape back to Ruxukou!
There is also gunpowder!
There, there is the last weapon that can stop the emperor!
……

At this moment, Zhu Huan also realized from the chaos that the army he had just been fighting with was none other than Zhu Ran's army.

Looking at the fluttering dragon banner, Zhu Huan already understood.

"Why would the Emperor of the Han Dynasty... go to this extent?"

He was clearly ruling Jiangdong with the overwhelming force of a mountain, but now he is doing embroidery work...

Is the emperor being too cautious this time?
After Zhu Huan smiled bitterly, he finally lowered his head.

Looking at the blood and corpses at his feet... Zhu Huan finally understood some truths that he had never understood before.

"I have always been curious about why Xiang Yu refused to cross the Wujiang River and start over."

"Now that I see my brothers and comrades dying around me, how can I have the face to go back?"

Zhu Huan remembers everyone's face.

Scouts, personal soldiers, and their families...

These faces slowly gathered together, like a curtain covering the sky slowly falling on Zhu Huan's face.

"How can a defeated general dare to go back and face the elders of Jiangdong?"

At this moment, Zhu Huan's personal soldiers were still fighting hard and really fought their way out for Zhu Huan!
"General, leave quickly!"

vaguely.

Zhu Huan looked at the other person's face, but did not take a step forward. Instead, he drew the sword from his waist.

"Don't kill me, bring my head and claim the reward."

"Although I am not as good as Xiang Yu and cannot fight for a marquisate for you, I can at least protect your family members!"

After saying this, Zhu Huan placed the sword on his neck.

"The Jiangdong sword is the sharpest!"

"With this weapon, it's a joy to leave!"

After saying this, Zhu Huan committed suicide on the spot, causing the surrounding soldiers to scream!

A moment later, a scout from the Han army informed the emperor of Zhu Huan's affairs.

"Give him a good burial."

Liu Xie ordered his men to bury Zhu Huan in Shiting, but soon another soldier came to report in panic, saying that all of Zhu Huan's personal soldiers had committed suicide in front of Zhu Huan's tomb and were buried together with him!
Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, his expression became complicated——

"Jiangdong has been home to many righteous men since ancient times, and Wu and Chu have preserved their heroic spirits for thousands of years."

"Pass it on. Tell the generals and soldiers to stop calling us Jiangdong rats!"

"Here!" (End of chapter)
