"The Han Dynasty is terminally ill and on the verge of collapse. Within a year or two, the world will inevitably descend into chaos. Even if we fail this time, we still have a chance."

Zhang Ju also encouraged everyone.

"The emperor talks too much!"

Zhang Chun also seized the opportunity to say, "We were originally going to fight Liu Yu to the death."
