Chapter 22 Jiangdong Tigers

With Kong Yiqiang's grain and weapons, the Yellow Turban Army subdued by the pottery merchant finally settled down and was officially joined by the Xuzhou army under the pottery merchant.

However, in Yingchuan, this army has another nickname, which is jokingly called the "beggar army" by the military and civilians of Yingchuan.

There is no way to avoid being misunderstood by others. Not only does it mean that the face is pale, skinny, ragged clothes are sacked, but they are given food and weapons as soon as they come. It is not begging for food...

By stationing in Yingchuan, the Tao merchant asked Xu Chu to seize the time to prepare for the Yellow Turban Army and train it.

These Yellow Turban Remnants are mainly infantry, and they all use long spears and round shields. Although the weapons are all defective products left by Yingchuan Prefecture, they are better than none.

After a few days of training, a powerful vassal army finally arrived at the Yingchuan territory.

The tiger in Jiangdong, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, led many powerful troops to Yingchuan, including Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi, etc.

Sun Jian is 35 years old this year, which is the year of his strength!

Looking at the current situation of the Han Dynasty, there are several famous generals who can be called famous in the battle. Among them, Huangfu Song is good at dispatching troops, and his military formation is magnificent; Zhu Jun is good at defeating many with fewer troops, and repeatedly defeating the enemy; Gongsun Zan is good at cavalry, and he uses troops to be righteous, disdainful of conspiracies, but he also roams the north and shocks the Huguans.

But among these people, the most fierce, violent and direct one is Sun Jian, who is nicknamed Jiangdong Tiger!

Sun Jian is strong when he meets strong, and is good at fighting. He defeats the demon-breaking thief Xuchang, fights against the Yellow Turbans in Wancheng, defeats the Star of Changsha District, and decides to rebel in Yichun. Whenever there are strong enemies and bandits, he will punch him until he crushes the opponent!

...

...

When Sun Jian arrived in Yingchuan, Kong Yichang, Mi Fang, Tao Shang and others came out to greet him, which really gave him enough face.

But there is no way to do this. In this era where fists are respected, they are not as strong as others, so they naturally have to put aside their attitude. Haven’t you seen Sun Jian pass by Nanyang a few days ago and kill the prefect if he can’t reach an agreement. For those who do things like this, who cares about the consequences, who has no time to recruit him?

Tao Shang was still very interested in Sun Jian. He really wanted to see what kind of person the first hero of the Sun family, who was known as "the Sun family is based in Jiangdong and has lived in three lifetimes."

The rumbling sound of horse hooves and footsteps intersected and rushed towards Yingchuan. The pottery looked up.

Sun Jian's troops and horses showed a regular formation, which was slowly advancing towards his side. The pottery merchant did not recognize the formation, but it seemed to be arranged in a regular manner, with four rows in five sides. In the central army, the cavalry stepped in flat heads, and the stars arched the moon to tightly guard the Sun's big flag in the middle.

Behind the Tao merchant was Xu Chu. Xu Chu looked carefully for a while before lowering his head and said, "Hehe, why should you set up a formation in the front army on the way to march? If you walk like this, you will not be able to walk into Luoyang for eight hundred years. It is obvious that it was just a temporary formation and came to demonstrate."

Tao Shang smiled: "Do you see things very well now? It's impressive."

When I was young, I heard a drum sound, and I saw Sun Jian's front army pulling a path, leaving a spacious path in the middle, and a group of generals led by horses came straight.

There were about a dozen generals in the lead, but among these people, Tao Shang recognized Sun Jian at a glance.

Sun Jian was wearing a pair of armor that seemed very heavy and had a very tall figure! He was the tallest person that the Taoist merchant had ever seen since he traveled back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, unlike Xu Chu's stupid and reckless spirit like a big bear, Sun Jian felt that he was a sinister feeling. Although he was known as the "Jiangdong Tiger", the Taoist merchant felt that he was not a pure tiger, but a breed similar to a hybrid of tigers and wolves, with a hint of undetectable cunning in his ferocity.

"Governor Kong, it's been a long time since then!" Sun Jian put on his armor, but he calmly saluted to Kong Qi, with a clear attitude of arrogance.

Kong Yichang did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly returned the greeting and said with a smile: "I have long admired Wentai's name. When I see you today, I really live up to the name of a hero. Looking at the world, if you talk about it, you can stand on the right side of Wentai, there is no one who can leave the public."

As the governor of a state, he was extremely humble to say such words to Sun Jian, but Sun Jian seemed to not buy his account at all.

Sun Jian stared at Kong Yichang and said slowly: "Governor Kong, the heroes of the world, jointly raise an army to fight against Dong's bandits. Since you have responded to the order of the general's later general, why are you still standing still holding back? Yuan Gong is really dissatisfied with the governor's actions."

Behind Kong Yichang, the civil and military officials in Yingchuan who were accompanying him were angry when they heard this!

Sun Jian was too arrogant. As soon as he arrived, he was aggressive towards the governor. He was just the prefect of Changsha. If he was in the official position, he was even less than Kong Yizheng. How could he dare to be so rude?

Kong Yichang was also very unhappy. However, in less than a year, Sun Jian killed the prefect and the governor one after another. He became a famous "local official killer". Killing a rank-in official is like a bean. No matter how hard Kong Yichang's head is, he may not be much stronger than Wang Rui and Zhang Zi.

Be patient, bear for a moment... After all, your head is important.

"The Wentai misunderstood!" Kong Yi shook his head heavily and sighed: "It has been less than a year since I took over the position of governor of Yuzhou. Although I have the desire to serve the country, I am unable to meet the strength. In Yuzhou, there are two counties, four countries, and ninety-seven counties. At present, the three-point number of the three-point number can be directly transferred by me. This governor is not easy to be, so I have delayed the time of advancing. I hope the Wentai will explain the difficulties to the generals for me. I am grateful to you."

A smile appeared on the corner of Sun Jian's mouth, but it was different from the humble and gentle smile that the pottery often showed. Sun Jian's smile seemed very cold and fierce, and said, "The world is chaotic and the country is in danger of being overwhelmed... In this case, if you can't sit in the governor of Yuzhou, why not let the virtuous?"

Once this is said, the idiots know that they are too heavy.

The venue was filled with gunpowder in an instant. Kong Yichang seemed to be struck by lightning, and he said nothing. The military officers behind him were indignant and had the urge to go up to fight with Sun Jian... they just didn't dare.

At this embarrassing moment...

"Sun's mansion is strong and good at fighting the world, and we are just mediocre people. If we are on the battlefield, how can we compare with the mansion? It would be useless to raise an army early. If you are defeated by Dong Zhuo again, you will be afraid that you will lose the spirit of the coalition forces, and it will be more than worth the loss." The Tao Shang interjected as soon as he was at a loss, and when both sides were at odds, he gave a few words of ease.

Sun Jian narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look. What caught his eye was a gentle and elegant young man.

"Who are you?"

The Tao merchant bowed and smiled and said, "Under the rule of Xuzhou governor, Mr. Tao, the Tao merchant of the Western Expedition Army, met the Wentai Gong, the Duke of the Mansion."

"Oh!" Sun Jian nodded suddenly and said, "I remembered that I heard that the envoy Tao was in Xuzhou and could not move easily. He was the eldest son who was in charge of the army to go on an expedition. I guess he was the young master. At such a young age, it means that the princes will meet the alliance, a young hero?"

"I dare not." Tao Shang smiled and said, "In front of the mansion, a boy is just a young man, how can he be a hero?"

"Since you are not a hero, don't do heroic things!" Sun Jian sneered, and said rudely: "Envoy Tao is old and has a strong ambition, and he pretends to serve the country. Do you think that the princes are not worthy of being together with him?"

Mi Fang, who was beside the Tao merchant, turned red and opened her mouth to curse her, but the Tao merchant reached out and pulled her sleeve.

Tao Shang still kept smiling and said, "My father is still in charge of governance. If we talk about military affairs, how can he be on par with Sun's house? When my boy came, my father specifically told him that all military affairs should be followed by General Yuan Gong and Wentai, the prefect of Changsha. In this way, he can conquer the treacherous and support the country, otherwise he may not be able to make trouble and make the world laugh."

Sun Jian nodded majesticly, with a bit of playfulness in his eyes: "It's a spiritual child who knows how to judge right from the inside and outside. But just by just your few words, you will have to support Sun on the front line. What? Do you still want to watch from the wall, and can you preserve your strength?"

Tao Shang shook his head and smiled, "Sun Fujun misunderstood. I have said below that if the Fujun is sent, the Xuzhou army will not refuse."

Sun Jian turned his head and looked at Kong Yichang and said, "I wonder what you mean by Governor Kong?"

Kong Yiqiong hurriedly said, "Kong does not understand military operations, so he should follow the leader of Yuan Gong and Wentai."

"Okay!" Sun Jian said in a deep voice: "Since you have two promises here, I will no longer refuse. If you ask Dong for trouble, Yuan Gong and Sun will work together to move forward, you should do something you should do... First, I trouble the governor Kong will prepare 50,000 stones of food and grass for Sun and Yuan Gong, thinking that if there is something to do in the future, it will not be too late to do it."

"Fifty thousand stones each...this...this total is 100,000 stones." Kong Yichang's face twitched strangely, as if he was quite unwilling to accept it: "Wentai, it's difficult to get all the military supplies for a while. I might as well provide your troops and Yuan Gong with 30,000 stones first, and then make up for the rest in the future. How about it?"

Sun Jian came forward and stood not far in front of Kong Yichang, threatening: "There is no food and grass for me, but there is food and equipment for the Xuzhou army? It seems that the governor Kong believes that the main force in the attack on Dong Zhuo's army should be the first to take the Xuzhou army? Against Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others, we have to rely on the generals of the Xuzhou army?"

Kong Yi was speechless when Sun Jian said this. He really couldn't imagine why Sun Jian found out about providing food and weapons to the pottery army so quickly?

The potter's face remained unchanged, but his heart suddenly became shocked...

After precipitating for a while.

Tao Shang smiled at Sun Jian and said, "Don't blame Sun Fujun. The food, grass and weapons are just what Governor Kong saw that our troops were insufficient, so he temporarily lent it to the boy. Whatever Sun Fujun wants, just take it from our troops, and the boy will definitely follow it."

As soon as he said this, even Sun Jian couldn't help but be surprised.

A strange look appeared in Sun Jian's eyes: "The weapons and food that have been distributed to the soldiers under his command will be taken out and given to others. Babies, can this convince the public?"

Tao Shang shook his head and said, "Of course this will not convince the public, but I am just telling my soldiers."

"Reason?" Sun Jian became interested: "What is the reason?"

Tao Shang stared at Sun Jian and said word by word: "In a big dispute, there is no superiority or inferiority; killing superiors and bullying subordinates, there is no way to do anything; a gentleman is not a king, and a thief is not a thief."

Sun Jian put away the playful thoughts on his face, and his expression gradually turned cold: "What? Are you not convinced?"

Tao Shang smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, I am very convinced. The Duke took away the military supplies that were originally our army. Although my soldiers would be ashamed, this will also nourish their desire to become a strong army. Sometimes, what we were taken away may be a small piece, but that feeling of shame will increase our strong determination and make us hope that one day, we will get what we lost from others exponentially, and look down on others while getting it back."

Speaking of this, the pottery paused for a moment before continuing: "Justice Sun's family is right today."

Upon hearing this, Sun Jian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, trying to say something, but his lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After a while, Sun Jian finally spoke: "In addition to being the supervisor of the Xuzhou Western Expedition Army, where is the current position in Xuzhou?"

"Shang is white."

Sun Jian nodded and said, "Is it so white... OK, Sun remembers Mr. Tao! You can use the weapons given to you by governor Kong, and you have nothing to do with me! Sun is still disdainful to pick up what others have left."

After saying that, he turned to Kong Qiong and said, "Our army is 50,000 stones, Yuan Gong's army is 50,000 stones, and 100,000 stones of food and grass! Please prepare as soon as possible, and do not let us wait too long."

After saying that, Sun Jian turned his head and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Please choose an open place and set up a camp!"

He didn't even ask the host Kong Yichang's opinion, and directly chose a place to camp and rest the troops without authorization.

No matter how well Kong Yichang was in a state of cultivation, he was trembling all over his body.

He was about to protest, but saw Tao Shang coming to him, waved his hand quietly at him, and said, "Uncle Shi, don't be angry, he wants 100,000 stones of food and grass. Uncle Shi, please turn around and prepare 200,000 stones for him."

Kong Yichang was so surprised that his chin was about to fall to the ground: "Yuan Shu and Sun Jian were too bullying, so he asked me for 100,000 shi of grain, but I took the initiative to give them 200,000 shi? Nephew, do you think I am easy to bully Uncle Shi?"

Tao Shang shook his head, and saw that Sun Jian had left the two to arrange camping matters, and then said, "Today's matter is not just about asking for food. I will tell you in detail when I look back. Now Uncle Shi just needs to prepare... If Uncle Shi can trust his nephew, I will help you get back a lot of 200,000 stones of grain and grass, and there will be a bonus."

Kong Yichang frowned when he heard this, obviously he could not trust this nephew... The current child is not honest at all, and he just brags/shy when he opens his mouth.

The Taoist merchant seemed to have not seen Kong Yicheng's questioning expression and said with a smile: "Although Sun Jian is a military officer, he will not not understand the etiquette between the alliances. He is here today and it is clearly planned in advance... Uncle Shi, don't worry, I will help you kill this guy."
