Come on, Yilian, give them a live performance!

Yi Lian immediately understood. In the next instant, he reached out to cover his face. In just a few breaths, when his arm was removed, the Shu Han group was so shocked that they were speechless.

Because at this moment, Yi Lian had completely transformed into Jiang Bin's appearance, without any difference!

"All I need is a portrait of Sima Zhao, and my elder brother can disguise himself as Sima Zhao perfectly, without any flaws," Li Ge said confidently.

Yilian's mimicry ability is one of the abilities least affected by the magic ban. After all, it is a racial ability of the morph elves. The school only bans magic, not bans special races outright. So the impact of this racial ability is just that it used to be able to change at will, but now it takes a long time to customize one's appearance.

“But my elder brother has never read books. He only has the appearance of Sima Zhao, but not the intention. Therefore, we need you all to cooperate in this charade so that we can completely control the entire Wei army,” Li Ge said.

Jiang Bin immediately bowed and said, "Your insight is brilliant! But Sima Zhao and his confidant Jia Chong have stationed troops at Jiange, and His Majesty's safety is at risk. What should we do?"

If they previously thought that Li Ge and his group were just talking nonsense, now they have begun to discuss the feasibility of the plan. After all, they are now like drowning people, and can only pray for this last straw.

Li Ge took a deep breath. The main event was about to begin. The blitzkrieg against Chang'an was just the surface; the real key to the plan lay in the arrangements that followed.

"I am willing to go to Luoyang, as a member of the Cao clan, to rally the former officials of Cao Wei and create chaos in Luoyang!" Li Ge said directly and resolutely.

"I wish to take this opportunity to infiltrate Cao Huan's residence, contact former officials of Cao Wei, and incite a rebellion to overthrow the Sima clan. With the chaos in Luoyang caused by the Cao clan, Sima Zhao will surely return with his troops to defend it. Wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity for us to launch a surprise attack on Chang'an?"

"If Sima brat does not return his troops, Cao Wei will seize power again, and the Sima family will surely die without a burial place. At that time, Chang'an will be caught in a pincer movement between us."

"If that brat Sima returns with his troops, then my brother Sima Zhao will appear at Jiange, and could even trick the city gates open without lifting a finger. Wouldn't that be a perfect plan?"

Li Ge smiled and continued to paint a rosy picture: "As for the Han Emperor, we will do everything in our power to rescue him while Luoyang is in chaos. General, would you trust us?"

Li Ge spoke decisively, looking at Jiang Wei. If Jiang Wei showed the slightest hesitation, Li Ge would immediately start by calling him "godfather" and then there would be no problem.

But in that instant, Jiang Wei's expression changed from disappointment to utter shock.

This plan is quite daring, and almost certainly results in certain death. The fact that Cao Mao was killed in the street like a wild dog by Sima Zhao several years ago is still fresh in everyone's mind. Yet, there are still members of the Cao clan who dare to rebel against the Sima clan and even join forces to restore the Han dynasty.

"This plan is brilliant! This plan is brilliant!" Jiang Wei said directly before anyone else could respond. He looked at Li Ge's expression and saw an indescribable joy and...sigh.

Why isn't this child my son!

“But Ziyin, this plan is extremely dangerous, even risking your life. When you instigate a rebellion as a member of the Cao Wei imperial family, you will definitely be the Sima clan’s target. Are you afraid?” Jiang Wei asked.

Li Ge smiled and said, "A true man is born between heaven and earth, and death is inevitable!"

"If the plan fails, we will simply be wrapped up under the Han banner."

"Revive Han!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Jiang Wei said "good" three times in a row, even though he knew that the plan was not very reliable. Even if Li Ge stirred up a rebellion in Luoyang, how could the rebellion be made so big that Sima Zhao had to withdraw his troops?

And how much power does Cao Wei still have in Luoyang? Cao Mao was killed like a dog a few years ago, how much strength does Cao Wei have now?

Even Li Ge couldn't protect himself, so how could he protect Liu Shan?

These are all problems, but they can't think about them anymore, because Shu Han is in its last state. They only have this last breath left, and it remains to be seen whether this last breath can bring the Han dynasty back to life.

But Jiang Wei still had one last bit of strength left, which was the ability to deliver the secret letter to Liu Shan. He would give this last bit of strength left in Luoyang to Li Ge.

Shu Han was on its last breath. No matter what the cost, no matter how slim the chance, Jiang Wei would take the gamble.

Jiang Wei had also thought a lot about it. Could Li Ge be trying to use the last strength of Shu Han to overthrow the Sima clan and let Cao Wei regain power? Or was it some other conspiracy?

But then I thought, I am already a dying man, what else can I lose?

He slowly rose and bowed solemnly.

Now, Jiang Wei felt indifferent. Whether it was Cao Wei or Shu Han, if the Cao Wei imperial family could really join forces with him to deal with the Sima clan, Jiang Wei was willing to treat that person as his own father.

Shu Han only has this last sliver of hope, this last sliver of chance to be revived from the dead!

"Young Master Ziyin, please accept my bow!" Jiang Wei stood up and bowed deeply to Li Ge. Not only the old general, but also Zhang Yi and the others stood up and bowed to Li Ge.

They knew that they were the last vestige of Shu Han, but it didn't matter. A true man has things he will not do, and things he must do. At this moment, they were all willing to risk their lives for this final plan.

This plan was named "Revitalizing Han".

Using Yilian's mimicry ability, he impersonated Sima Zhao, and with the help of Zhong Hui's former subordinates, they put on a show to intimidate hundreds of thousands of Wei troops.

At the same time, all the remaining money and grain of the entire Shu Han were distributed as rewards, in the name of Sima Zhao, who was impersonated by Yi Lian. Then, troops were sent to Jiange, and then, taking advantage of the chaos in Luoyang, they launched a surprise attack on Hanzhong and Chang'an.

Li Ge needs to stir up chaos in Luoyang, at least on the level of Cao Mao, and rescue Liu Shan.

With both fronts operating simultaneously, the best time for Jiang Wei and his forces to launch a lightning attack on Chang'an would be after Sima Zhao sent troops back to Luoyang.

Therefore, as before, Yilian and Valerie stayed by Jiang Wei's side, with Valerie, the strongest in direct combat, protecting Yilian.

Meanwhile, Li Ge and Xiao Ye's group headed to Luoyang. Both of them were more suited to taking advantage of the chaos, gathering intelligence, and carrying out assassinations.

The project is named: Xinghan!

The secret code for the conspiracy was also: Revive Han!

Chapter 80 Prime Minister, it's getting cold, put on a yellow coat to warm up.

The Wei army in Chengdu was in a state of panic. After all, Jiang Wei was now nominally a surrendered general of Shu Han to Wei, so how could he possibly control these Wei soldiers?

Even on the Cao Wei side, the only one who could possibly restrain the Wei army was Sima Zhao; even Zhong Hui couldn't.

Therefore, all the middle and lower-ranking officers of the Wei army were in a state of panic that night. These were the main force controlling the entire army. Only the middle and lower-ranking officers who could control an army could truly control the entire army.

After a day of calm, many people suddenly realized that they seemed to have become Zhong Hui's private army. What did Zhong Hui want to do? Rebel?

What these Wei soldiers found most unacceptable was the inability to go home, and the fact that despite their outstanding contributions in conquering Shu, they were supposed to enjoy rewards and glory upon returning home, but instead, they were inexplicably labeled as traitors. Who could bear that?

So, the mid-level officers got together and realized something was wrong. Could it be that Zhong Hui was planning to betray Wei?

These people were unaware that Zhong Hui was dead. They were filled with anxiety and even conspired to win over the old troops if Zhong Hui rebelled, kill Zhong Hui and the surrendered generals of Shu Han, and earn him a great merit after the conquest of Shu.

However, it would be best if that brat Zhong Hui sent them back to the Central Plains tomorrow.

They had already discussed it and planned to observe for a few more days. If things didn't look good after a few days, they would launch a joint attack.

The next day, however, Zhong Hui summoned everyone. These middle and lower-ranking officers immediately sensed something was wrong. When asked if they were allowed to bring their personal guards, Zhong Hui's guards simply said, "Yes, but don't bring too many."

At this moment, the biggest weight was lifted from the hearts of these Wei army officers. They were allowed to bring their personal guards, and the number was not even specified, which showed that Zhong Hui had no intention of killing them.

After discussing the matter, each of them took several dozen personal guards to discuss it.

However, upon arriving at the Shu Han imperial palace, they saw that the person on the platform was none other than Sima Zhao, the prime minister of Cao Wei at the time!

In that instant, all the Wei soldiers felt a jolt in their hearts. The Prime Minister had actually come to Shu in person.

What followed was ecstasy. The fact that the Prime Minister had come in person proved that all the messy and ridiculous things had come to an end, and they could return to the Central Plains without any trouble.

These people had actually been away from their hometown for nearly half a year, and at this moment, they felt an indescribable sense of security wash over them.

At this time, with the help of the portrait and several people from Shu Han and trusted individuals, Yi Lian finally transformed into Sima Zhao. When he appeared in front of Zhong Hui's personal guards who had been subdued by Jiang Wei, the guards were so frightened that they knelt down and cried out for mercy from the Prime Minister.

Even Jiang Wei and other former officials of Shu Han were shocked that there was such a magical art of disguise in the world, and even marveled that the Duke of Shanyang had sent these people to support the Han Dynasty.

If conditions allowed, they probably would have kowtowed to Liu Xie a few more times. It's not uncommon for officials of Shu Han to kowtow to the late emperor's nephew.

Furthermore, during his conversation with Yi Lian, Jiang Wei discovered that Yi Lian was not an unlearned person. On the contrary, she had her own insights into intelligence and strategy, and could even be considered to have a long-term vision. However, she spoke entirely in plain language and had no surname or given name, making her a commoner. This made Jiang Wei sigh with regret and even develop a desire to appreciate her talent.

He claimed that if this boy had a family lineage, he would surely achieve great things. He even considered adopting Yi Lian as his godson, intending to lure Li Ge and his group to Shu Han.

However, that's all in the future. Before that, they made Yilian recite the sentences she was going to say, and these people from Shu Han were quite capable, as they fabricated the whole story of Sima Zhao's arrival in this place.

Then, Yi Lian coughed and, following the words she had recited earlier, shouted loudly: "You are all loyal, good, and virtuous ministers of our Great Wei. Our efforts to pacify Shu Han, recover the Central Plains, and restore peace and prosperity to the world are evident to the sun, moon, heaven, and earth! Therefore, you are hereby greatly rewarded!"

After Yilian said these words, Jiang Wei's men immediately carried out chests of gold, silver, silk, and cloth from the Shu Han palace, as rehearsed beforehand, and opened them directly.

Although Shu Han had been impoverished for years, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. The entire palace, along with Jiang Wei and his men, managed to scrape together a lot of money. In addition, Shu Han was famous for its Shu brocade, and at this time, the Shu brocade was piled up like mountains, roughly estimated to be no less than ten thousand bolts!

In this era, Shu brocade was a more valuable currency than gold and silver. In the late Han Dynasty, when currency collapsed, Shu brocade was even considered a form of wealth equivalent to gold, with some saying that a single piece of Shu brocade was worth one tael of gold.

Therefore, in an instant, all the Wei soldiers stared wide-eyed.

"These are all rewards for you loyal ministers and generals! I am here to hold a grand banquet for the entire army!" Yi Lian waved his hand, indicating that these were all rewards from his subordinates. At this moment, the entire Wei army was in an uproar.

"Prime Minister, we respect and love you!"

"Prime Minister, I swear to be loyal to you to the death!"

The Wei soldiers immediately showed high loyalty. They had traveled across mountains and rivers to destroy Shu, wasn't it all for these things?

And now, all this Shu brocade and gold and silver wealth was given to them last time! Even the lowest-ranking officer can get a considerable amount of wealth, which is enough for them to work hard for a lifetime.

“But!” Yilian’s words suddenly changed.

"When we were serving the emperor and supporting the common people, Luoyang was thrown into chaos. Traitors, villains, and rebels were causing turmoil in Luoyang, holding the emperor hostage and turning him into their puppet, trying to trap us as rebels!"

In an instant, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over the heads of all the Wei soldiers.

No, have we really become traitors?

It wasn't that Zhong Hui, that brat, rebelled; rather, Luoyang was in chaos, and a treacherous villain had taken the emperor hostage!

Damn it, who dares to kidnap our Emperor!

In that instant, an overwhelming sense of grievance and anger surged into their hearts. These people suddenly felt that they were truly suffering, even more so than the weeds growing in the cracks of rocks.

At the same time, there was endless anger. Why did they, who had clearly rendered meritorious service in conquering Shu, still end up as traitors?

Some people have doubts.

"Brother Wang, why would Prime Minister Sima come in person? There wasn't a single word of it beforehand..."

"Be careful what you say! With the Prime Minister here, the gold and silver have already been distributed; how could it be false?"

A hint of doubt was instantly swallowed up by the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, Yi Lian drew Zhong Hui's sword and roared, "Gentlemen, our loyalty is as clear as the sun and moon, and as evidenced by heaven and earth. However, the emperor has been held hostage by treacherous officials, and the people are in dire straits. We must march into Luoyang, purge the court of corrupt officials, welcome back the emperor, and restore the Han Dynasty! March on to Luoyang!"

Yes, you heard right, it's about reviving the Han Dynasty. Even the Sima family in this era used the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty, which was extremely abstract.

Cao Wei claimed to be the legitimate successor to the Han dynasty's abdication, while Shu Han claimed legitimacy based on the imperial edict in the belt. The Sima family suppressed Cao Wei under the slogan of restoring the Han dynasty and considered themselves the legitimate successors.

"Restore the Han Dynasty!"

Some people in the crowd joined in the jeering.

"Restore the Han Dynasty!"

"Restore the Han Dynasty!"

"Revive Han!"

"Revive Han!"
