The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

"Brother Yifeng! Brother Yifeng!"

Zhu Ran's consciousness seemed to be pulled out of the quagmire, and he gradually woke up in the feeling of falling.

As soon as I woke up, the first thing I heard was the voice "Brother Yifeng" that I will never forget in my life!
Korean variety show!

"I kill you!"

Zhu Ran, who was lying on the bed, suddenly jumped up and looked towards the source of the sound.

When Han Zong saw Zhu Ran waking up, he was so scared that he quickly ran behind a young man, as if seeking shelter.

"Han Zong! How dare you appear in front of me!"

Zhu Ran gritted his teeth and rushed towards Han Zong.

"I originally thought that you were the hope of Jiangdong! You were the savior of Jiangdong! I was so blind! I want to kill you!"

But Zhu Ran only took two steps before he fell to the ground due to exhaustion and weak legs.

Han Zong then poked his head out from behind the young man and said, "Brother Yifeng! Brother Yifeng! Don't be angry first! You must not be disrespectful in front of the emperor!"

The emperor...

Zhu Ran then realized that everyone around him was standing in a circle with the young man as the center.

It is like the moon surrounded by stars. When you first see it, you may think it is ordinary, kind and gentle, but upon closer inspection, you will find that it is as majestic as a mountain!

Zhu Ran then looked around.

Confirmed that it is still at Ruxukou.

But there are already many familiar and unfamiliar people standing around me.

Among these people, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who Zhu Ran was most familiar with, could only stand at the very end...

Liu Xie looked at Zhu Ran quietly. Although he didn't say anything, the feeling of oppression increased instead of decreased!

"Zhu Ran, three days and three nights have passed since the fall of Ruxukou City."

This was obviously not the result of Zhou Yu's wooden board.

They experienced the Battle of Shiting, the annihilation of the Jiangdong navy, and finally the fall of Ruxukou...

Three major defeats followed one after another.

If Zhou Yu hadn't knocked Zhu Ran unconscious at that time, Zhu Ran might have gone crazy on the spot...

This kind of defeat is too painful for a head coach.

Liu Xie felt some pity for Zhu Ran, but also some anger.

"I have heard of your name a long time ago, and you have demonstrated your talents during the Battle of Jingzhou."

"But why are you so narrow-minded that you would rather die than surrender?"

"Sun Ce told me before that you must be loyal."

"it is good!"

Liu Xie's tone suddenly rose -

"Now, say it again in front of me, to whom are you loyal?"

The sound was no less than the thunder when the gunpowder exploded in front of the Ruxukou city gate, and it made Zhu Ran's head buzz.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Who are you loyal to?

According to the Toad Confucian, there is only one master in the world! You can only be loyal to one person!

But the current situation is obviously the opposite of what the Toad Confucian said...

"Yes, for Wu..."

Zhu Ran, who persisted on the battlefield until the last moment, collapsed like a puddle of mud in front of the emperor!
Liu Xie snorted heavily.

"After all this fuss, you don't even know what you're fighting for?"

"Zhu Huan committed suicide in the Stone Pavilion. He at least announced to me his intention that the aristocratic families and the imperial court cannot coexist and perish together."

"And if you really died, I don't even know why you died!"

"Tell me, what are you fighting for?"

This time, Zhu Ran finally had a brief moment of clarity: "For Lord Wu!"

"Okay! In other words, you are Sun Quan's assassin?"

"Yes!"

This time, the answer was firm and decisive. "Sun Ce, show him the battle report."

Soon, a document was placed in front of Zhu Ran.

These are reports on casualties from the Battle of Shiting, the Battle of the Yangtze River, and the Battle of Ruxukou.

When Zhu Ran realized what it was, it was too late to avoid it.

These numbers seemed to come alive, transforming into ghosts and drilling into his body.

Zhu Ran knew that this was not a delusion.

Rather, the souls of these comrades are literally tearing his flesh and blood, making him unable to rest in peace!

"Since you admit that you are a death warrior, you must act like a death warrior."

"I don't care how much favor you have received from Sun Quan, or how much you are willing to sacrifice your life for him."

"But you dragged these soldiers into this, and involved these civilians who didn't need to die. You deserve to be killed!"

Zhu Ran wanted to defend himself.

But he didn't know how to argue.

Once the imperial court crosses the river, will the people of Jiangdong live better or worse?

After clearly realizing the gap in national strength between the imperial court and Jiangdong, Zhu Ran no longer had any doubts about this issue.

The Confucian scholars from aristocratic families and those who are not ordinary people will be eliminated by the court, but the common people will not.

Those civilians who died in the battle today could have done nothing and waited for the imperial court to cross the river and distribute the land and property of the noble families to them so that they could have wives and children and live in peace.

But because of Zhu Ran's desperate resistance, all of this no longer exists!
Zhu Ran stood there in a daze, then suddenly stood up and walked towards the pillar in the room.

"Want to commit suicide?"

Liu Xie's voice sounded again.

"I have said before that you are a warrior, you can die for whoever you want, I have no right to interfere."

"But now that so many Jiangdong people have died, you're just going to leave their wives and children behind and walk away?"

Zhu Ran stopped and fell into confusion again.

He no longer knew what the emperor wanted him to do.

And he didn't know what he should do.

"Alive! Let their wives and children no longer have to worry about the rest of their lives."

Liu Xie's gaze shifted away from Zhu Ran's face and turned to look at Sun Ce, who had been looking nervous.

"Now is a time of great contention."

"Outside, the Kushans are declaring war and provoking us, and inside, we are asking the princes to establish states."

"No common people of the Han Dynasty can become a number on the household register, a laborer working in the fields, or an endless supply of material for their children to have grandchildren, their grandchildren to have children, and so on!"

"Everyone must grit their teeth and move forward, so that the Han people's footprints can be found all over China!"

"Whether it's you, Zhu Ran, or Cao Cao before, or Sun Quan who is still on the other side of the river."

"As long as you are willing, I can forgive the past."

"The world is so big, so big that you can't even imagine it! It can accommodate every one of you!"

"But the premise is that you stop being blood suckers! Instead, you must become hungry wolves and go out to fight! Then I won't care how much you eat meat! Do you understand?"

Zhou Yu secretly attacked Sun Ce.

Everyone knew that the emperor was not talking to Zhu Ran.

Or rather...it's not just said to Zhu Ran!

Sun Ce's face flushed at this moment, and he saluted the emperor solemnly.

"Your Majesty's words, I will remember them!"

"Your Majesty, please give me another chance and let me write a letter to my brother to persuade him to surrender!"

"Ah."

Liu Xie turned and left——

"We need to persuade them to surrender, but we cannot stop crossing the river."

"Three days later, if nothing unexpected happens, the entire army will cross the Yangtze River and head straight to Jiangdong!" (End of this chapter)
