The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

"Wei Wen!"

Enduring the pain, Sun Quan used all his strength to look at Wei Wen.

"Wei Wen! I am innocent! Why do you want to kill me?"

Wei Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Sun Quan had been pinned under the table and was unable to move.

He knew that this time, he won!
As the winner, Wei Wen didn't mind chatting with Sun Quan.

"Marquis Wu is guilty."

"What's the crime?"

Sun Quan seemed to know that he couldn't escape, so he threw off his usual repression and started roaring!
"Just because I lost, I'm deserted by everyone?"

"Wei Wen! You know! You should know! I have done so much for Jiangdong! I have done so much for Jiangdong! Why do you want to kill me!"

Wei Wen was silent for a while, and then expressed his true thoughts -

"What Lord Wu said is actually correct."

"Defeat is a sin!"

"If Wu Hou's battle in Jingzhou can be successful, Jiangling can be captured, and the integrity of the natural barrier of the Yangtze River can be ensured... or the land of Huainan can be taken back and the Huai River can be used as a barrier to Jiangdong, then I will never do that!"

"I also know that even if I have made contributions, joined the imperial court, and gained wealth and honor, I will never have the power in Jiangdong..."

"If Lord Wu can really preserve Jiangdong and the noble family, I, Wei Wen, will swear allegiance to Lord Wu until death!"

"But now...not!"

Although Li Ru did not tell Wei Wen some things, Wei Wen knew them clearly in his mind.

Don’t worry about how some people praise the imperial court to the skies…but for the aristocratic families, the imperial court’s system is their biggest nightmare!

The privileges and status of the aristocratic families will all disappear under the court system!
And these cannot be compensated by any amount of money!
If Sun Quan can win! Jiangdong can win!

Then no aristocratic family will betray Jiangdong!

But the problem now is that Sun Quan lost!
The Battle of Jingzhou was lost!
The Battle of Hefei was lost!
The Battle of Shiting was lost!
Even the naval battle that Jiangdong was most proud of was lost!
Even if people like Wei Wen are reluctant to give up the privileges of their aristocratic families, they have to start considering the issue of their lives!

Survive first, then think about other things!

That’s why Wei Wen said - defeat is a sin!

Sun Quan is still struggling——

"Will win!"

"You don't know that Yuan Tan and I are still in Jiangdong... and we also have Kushan!"

"Wu Hou!"

Wei Wen let out a loud laugh!
"Do you think that the distance between Kushan and the Han Dynasty is as close as the distance between Baodao and Houguan County?"

"You have never really sailed on the vast ocean. You don't understand the feeling of standing on the bow of a ship and not being able to tell up, down, left, right, east, west, or north!"

"Rely on the Kushans? You might as well just hope that the emperor dies suddenly!"

Sun Quan wanted to say something, but seemed to be struggling. The room fell silent for a moment.

At this time, soldiers had already moved Gu Yong's body into the house.

Sun Quan turned his head away, as if he couldn't bear to look at it.

"As soon as Gu Yong discovered our actions, he immediately rushed into your room, trying to alert you."

"What a pity... It seems that what Li Ru said is right. A man like Wu Hou cannot trust anyone after all. It is not unfair for him to end up like this!"

The wound on Sun Quan's severed finger had turned from painful to numb.

When Sun Quan heard Wei Wen mention Li Ru, he immediately forced himself to ask: "Have you ever had contact with Li Ru?"

"I'm the only one who doesn't dare to do this!"

"What about the others?"

Wei Wen looked out the window.

Sun Quan immediately realized that Li Ru was outside the window and shouted, "I treated you as my disciple back then. Don't you want to see me before I die?"

"..."

Indulge for a moment.

A figure that Sun Quan had been thinking about all day long turned around and leaned against the door. "Sir, can you hear me from so far away?"

Sun Quan shouted again -

"My fingers are broken! I can no longer pull the bowstring or hold the hilt of a knife. I am like a toothless tiger. Why are you still afraid of me, sir?"

Li Ru remained unmoved. He just stood quietly at the door, staring at Sun Quan.

Sun Quan, who saw this scene, suddenly became frantic: "Come here! Come here quickly!"

Such frenzy immediately aroused Wei Wen's vigilance.

He stepped forward and stepped on Sun Quan's wrist, forcing him to loosen his hand, only to find that it was a sharp arrowhead pulled out from an arrow!

Wei Wen suddenly gasped!
really!

Those who play politics are all shady!

Did I actually think that Sun Quan was no longer a threat just now?
If I hadn't mentioned Li Ru, which made Sun Quan confused, wouldn't the arrow have pierced my throat?

"Not honest yet?"

Wei Wen simply ordered his soldiers to tie up Sun Quan, and it was not until this time that Li Ru finally came in front of Sun Quan.

"Li Ru!"

When Sun Quan faced Li Ru, the resentment in his eyes almost overflowed!

"My only regret is not killing you!"

Li Ru glanced to the side.

Gu Yong's body was lying there.

So Li Ru shook his head regretfully: "I thought that what you regretted most was not opening the door for Gu Yong just now."

"Sun Quan, since I came to Jiangdong, my identity has always been public. I am the inner supporter of the imperial court."

"But you kept me here, not only for your own reputation, but probably because you wanted to use me as a bargaining chip in a balance of power someday in the future."

"But you never realized that there is no such thing as 'balance' in this world."

"Because as long as there is a 'balance', there will be a day when it is broken."

"You've gone astray."

Wei Wen looked at Li Ru strangely.

He always felt that there was something different in Li Ru's words than usual.

It's like he's saying something...from the bottom of his heart?
Sun Quan's hands were captured at this moment, and the severe pain from his severed fingers made his consciousness begin to blur.

However, Sun Quan still murmured: "I just lost in conspiracy and trickery!"

"Li Ru, since the emperor is using you to deal with me, then I will naturally use this method to deal with the emperor!"

After hearing this, Li Ru knew that Sun Quan did not listen to his words.

But that's true. It's a matter of life and death. How can we have so much time and energy to reflect?
Especially for someone like Sun Quan who has been enduring for almost half his life, it would be refreshing to vent a few words at this time!

But Wei Wen at the side noticed something was wrong——

"What does it mean to deal with the emperor in this way?"

"Sun Quan! What exactly do you mean?"

"Ah."

Sun Quan sneered: "Do you really think that our only option is to contact the Kushans?"

"Once the emperor dies, the Han Dynasty will be in chaos!"

"By then, we won't need Kushan, we can just rely on Jiangdong to launch a counterattack!"

"What a pity...I met an idiot like you!"

Wei Wen's face suddenly turned pale and blue.

However, Wei Wen immediately understood what Sun Quan meant.

"You and Gu Yong left people behind to assassinate the emperor?" (End of this chapter)
