The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"In your opinion, who is superior, the General or Sun Chen?"

The "great general" that Zhong Hui was referring to at this time was naturally Sima Shi!

Before meeting Liu Bang, Sima Shi was the person he admired most.

They have the means, the strategies, and they're ruthless.

In his mind, this was almost the perfect template for a powerful minister!

Moreover, he has already gained momentum and no one can suppress him anymore. He is just waiting to rise up and ascend to the throne, which will be the ultimate achievement!

In this situation, if someone had told him at that time that Sima Shi would eventually be defeated and that the young emperor of Cao Wei would be able to regain power, he would most likely have thought that person was crazy.

But now, the maddening truth is laid bare before everyone.

Those unaware of the inside story, like Lu Kang before him, have not yet realized what kind of person was born in the Great Wei.

Those who know the inside story, like Zhong Hui himself now, besides the fact that a scholar would die for one who understands him, more importantly, the more they think about this matter, the more they deify the emperor in their hearts!

Who dares to say they could do something like that?

Even if you know how all of this happened, who can guarantee that they can perfectly replicate it if they return to the original position?

"But... Sima Shi was ultimately defeated. Although the specific details of his defeat and death did not reach Eastern Wu, does a defeated person deserve such boasting?"

Lu Kang thought for a moment, then hesitated before refuting.

Regardless of the process, the result was defeat, so he could only conclude that Sima Shi was unworthy of his reputation.

Zhong Hui merely laughed.

"Boasting? I never boast. I only speak with facts. Whether it's power or strategy, Sun Chen isn't even qualified to carry the General's shoes!"

Do you know how the great general was defeated?

"Do you know how that person in the Great Wei palace turned the tables step by step, until now, and has regained control of the emperor's power?"

For a long time to come, the Sima family experienced both the height of their power and the weakness of the young emperor during his low point.

Then, in the process, he first won over Chen Tai, and used the deaths of Gao Rou and Wang Xiang to gradually anger the gentry, sowing discord between them and the Sima family. Then, he used the gentry to eliminate the Sima family and anger Sima Shi.

He led the Han army from Shu to launch a surprise attack on Sima Shi.

While retreating from the Han army, he led his troops straight to Chang'an, thus avoiding the embarrassment of being sidelined again.

Finally, when he led the troops of Chang'an and personally led the army back to the capital as the emperor, all the power in the world was in his hands!

Upon hearing this, Lu Kang's mouth gaped open, unable to close.

Seeing his posture, Zhong Hui nodded in satisfaction.

When he and Jia Chong first analyzed the truth based on various clues, their expressions were exactly the same.

"You mean, a puppet, through his own meticulous planning, overthrew the powerful Sima family, who were only one step away from usurping the throne, and completely eliminated the threat posed by the aristocratic clans to imperial power, thus regaining control of the empire?"

"Are you kidding me?"

After a long silence, Lu Kang raised a question.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but this kind of thing..."

"Brother Zhong, go to the city and find any storyteller. Ask him to tell you the most outrageous story he's ever made up. See if it's as absurd as you think!"

Are you kidding me?

Could such a person really exist in this world?

This is no longer just genius, this is an absolute monster!

The bearing of Cao Cao?

Even if Emperor Wu of Wei were to jump out of his coffin, he could not possibly achieve such a result under these conditions!

If all of this is true, then comparing him to Cao Cao would be an understatement for the young emperor.

This would put one on par with Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty!

"It is indeed bizarre, but after eliminating all the impossibilities, it is the truth."

"We once forced ourselves to believe that it was all a coincidence."

"But after actually meeting His Majesty in person, I became completely convinced that this was not a coincidence, but rather that from beginning to end, he was the player, standing in a place unseen by us."

“I can sense that he is still plotting something. I don’t know what else is worth plotting for someone like him, but I am willing to be loyal to him.”

"Now, young one, do you understand whose person I am?"

"Do you still think that I made a mistake in choosing this master?"

Having said all that, Zhong Hui laid his cards on the table.

There was nothing to hide; he didn't expect to make it back alive tonight anyway.

It's a great deal to be able to pull off such a big show before you die!

Lu Kang: "..."

He said he received too much information tonight and needed time to process it.

But he didn't have time.

The drinking had gone on until late at night, and the assassins that Sun Chen had sent with Zhong Hui were already itching to make their move.

"You are a man of the Emperor of Wei, so you pledged your allegiance to Sun Chen and gained his trust, yet you willingly became this almost certain-to-die pawn. Was all of this for the sake of Wei?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have already informed that person about the turmoil that will occur tonight."

"If his abilities are truly as you say, then there are certainly more than just my and Sun Chen's forces inside and outside the border. The third party, the troops of the Great Wei, are probably already itching to make a move."

"Once chaos erupts within the city, they will seize the opportunity to take control of the border, at which point this most difficult natural barrier will fall into the hands of the Great Wei."

He truly lived up to his reputation as a member of the Lu clan. Under Lu Xun's tutelage since childhood, he possessed both ability and quick wit.

In a short period of time, everything was analyzed in a very orderly manner.

"So what? Since I've chosen to lay everything out here, it means that even if you realize it, it won't help."

“Sun Chen’s men will not listen to you. Even if you force yourself to refrain from attacking, they will not let you go.”

"This turmoil was destined to be unstoppable."

Zhong Hui remained unhurried, as if he were not the one about to die.

"……you're right."

"But now that I know, I won't just do nothing."

"Although I despise the puppet in the court and cannot stand Sun Chen's domineering behavior, I am a subject of Eastern Wu and I am handling the affairs of a subject."

"Thank you for informing me tonight, Zhong Shiji. If I can successfully stop all of this, I will treat you to a drink afterward."

“I underestimated you before. Your judgment in choosing a master is indeed excellent.”

Lu Kang clapped his hands, and immediately more than ten people rushed into the hall.

He pointed at Zhong Hui.

"Keep an eye on him and don't let him do anything unnecessary. If he has any needs, fulfill them."

"Furthermore, without my order, no one may approach or harm him."

"If he was even slightly injured when I left, you will be punished for dereliction of duty!"

Watching his hurried departure, Zhong Hui seemed lost in thought.

A moment later, he picked up a new cup from the side.

"It's useless, everything we do is useless."

"Everyone is just a pawn in the emperor's hands. Everything you do may have been within his expectations."
