"General Yuan, I, Sun Jian, have no personal grudge against Zhang Zi, but because of General Yuan's words, I killed him without hesitation and was reviled by everyone in the world!"
Yuan Shu was very embarrassed and did not expect Sun Jian to mention this matter.
"Yes, I will remember the contribution of Wentai in my heart."
"Excuse me, General Yuan, do I, Sun Jian, have any personal grudge against Dong Zhuo?"
"No."
Yuan Shu did not hesitate and shook his head happily.
"Okay, since General Yuan knows that Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo have no grudges, he should know that Sun Jian came from Jingzhou on an expedition to fight against the rebels for the country, and to avenge his family's personal revenge for General Yuan! Have I, Sun Jian, ever had the slightest selfish intention?
"
Sun Jian seemed calm, but in fact everyone present knew the anger in his heart.
"No!"
Yuan Shu was also very frightened and kept following Sun Jian's words.
"Since I led my troops out of Luyang, I have won every battle. I have conquered several cities. Dong Zhuo's general Hu Zhen was killed by me at the foot of Yangren City, leaving behind his armor and armor. An army of 20,000 people only escaped with his life! I did not hesitate after that.
, the troops point directly at Dagu Pass! Hu Zhen is so frightened that he can only stay at the pass and dare not fight me. It won't be long before I break through Dagu Pass, and then I can send my army straight into Luoyang and take Dong Zhuo's head.
Level! Report to the Emperor, and report to the lower level the hatred of Yuan Taiwei’s tragic death!”
"At this critical moment, it's fine if General Yuan doesn't support my troops. Sun Jian doesn't blame General Yuan, but why doesn't he send me food and grass, causing my success to fail? I have 20,000 soldiers, but now there is not even one out of ten! General Yuan
How do you want me to explain to the people of Changsha? My general Zu Mao also died trying to protect me. How do General Yuan want me to face his wife and children?"
The more Sun Jian talked, the more excited he became, his eyes were red and his whole body was shaking!
"Wentai, I..."
Yuan Shu became nervous and completely forgot about the words Yan Xiang gave him before! He quickly turned to look at Yan Xiang, hoping that Yan Xiang could help him out.
Yan Xiang sighed softly, a lord like this could be regarded as having suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck!
"Prefect Sun, please give me my condolences. My lord is at fault in this matter, and I will definitely give an explanation to Prefect Sun!"
Yan Xiang waved, and then the servant hurried forward and served a head.
"Prefect Sun, this person is Dong Zhuo's spy. Recently, he has been spreading rumors in Luyang that Grand Administrator Sun intends to replace Dong Zhuo. Rumors have spread all over the place! Even leader Yuan Shao has written to ask about this matter. My lord is really under pressure.
It’s too big and I can’t stand it!”
"But don't worry, Taishou Sun. My lord has never questioned Taishou Sun, and he will definitely give Taishou an explanation!"
Sun Jian's face softened slightly. He knew that the head in front of him must be a scapegoat, but Yuan Shu's attitude had already met his psychological expectations. Now at this time, Sun Jian is even more inseparable from Yuan Shu.
"That's right! Mr. Yan is right. Wentai suffered heavy losses, and these generals all know it! Let's do this. I will allocate thousands of troops to Wentai first, and by the way, I will declare Wentai as the general who broke the Lu! When Dong Zhuo is defeated, I will definitely
How about telling Wentai again that he is the governor of Yuzhou?"
Sun Jian's pupils shrank, and he was very shocked by this compensation, but he quickly covered it up.
The governor of Yuzhou is not comparable to the governor of Changsha. Even the four counties in Jingnan combined cannot compare to one Runan county! What's more, the governor of Yuzhou?
Yuzhou is the most densely populated state in the Han Dynasty, and its agriculture is very developed. If you have people, you have soldiers, and if you have food, you can fight everywhere! Moreover, Yuzhou is the hometown of the Yuan family. With the support of Yuan Shu, Sun Jian can also secure his position as the governor of Yuzhou.
!
"Wentai, are you satisfied with this supplement?"
Seeing Sun Jian's expression soften, Yuan Shu also felt relieved and was tempted by these compensations, which showed that Sun Jian could be controlled by him.
"Sun Jian will serve under Duke Yuan from now on. Please don't be suspicious, Duke Yuan!"
Yuan Shu was immediately overjoyed. Sun Jian's title to him had changed from General Yuan to Duke Yuan. This was a change in the affiliation between the two parties. From now on, Sun Jian would become his subordinate!
"It's easy to say! It's easy to say! Wen Tai is brave. It's too late for me to love him. How can I be suspicious of Wen Tai!"
Sun Jian had been warned countless times by Cheng Pu, telling him to stop when he was ready, and now he was just going down the slope.
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan."
Yuan Shu looked sideways at Yang Hong and smiled at him. He was obviously very satisfied with this unexpected gain!
"Wentai, Yuan Shao sent a letter to my general, inviting me to move his troops to Suizao and attack Hulao Pass with him. What do you think?"
Sun Jian frowned and shook his head slightly.
"Mr. Yuan, there are eight passes guarding Luoyang, the most dangerous of which is Hulao Pass. If you want to break this pass, you will have to lose the lives of many soldiers! In the future, we will see that Dagong Pass and Yique Pass near Nanyang are more dangerous.
Easy to break."
Sun Jian's is easier than Hulao Pass. In fact, each of the eight passes in Luoyang can be called a natural pass. However, if compared together, Hulao Pass is the most difficult to conquer head-on.
Yuan Shu nodded lightly, agreeing with Sun Jian's words. Yuan Shu had passed through all the checkpoints south of Luoyang. He had used Dagu Pass to escape from Luoyang before.
"I think so too, general, but that fellow Yuan Shao begged with words and threatened with righteousness, making it difficult for me!"
Sun Jian was filled with doubts. Are the Yuan brothers coming to their senses? Haven't their relationship always been very bad? No one looks down on the other!
"Mr. Yuan, why doesn't Yuan Shao attack Luoyang from Hanoi?"
In front of Yuan Shu, no one can show respect to Yuan Shao. This is common sense, and Sun Jian knows this. Therefore, even if he calls Yuan Shao a slave of the Yuan family, he will not incur Yuan Shu's displeasure.
"Hey! It's not like Liu Zhang was at Hulao Pass. That good-for-nothing Yuan Shao was bullied miserably by Liu Zhang. Now some soldiers naturally want to avenge the previous one!"
Liu Zhang! Sun Jian couldn't help but think of that heroic young man! If there was anyone in Luoyang that he feared, it was definitely Liu Zhang!
Liu Zhang had been silent for a long time. Sun Jian only knew that Liu Zhang had inexplicably stopped participating in government affairs, and did not know anything else. However, Sun Jian felt that if Liu Zhang obstructed Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo would never dare to be so arrogant.
"Mr. Yuan, I know Liu Zhang very well, and I have fought alongside him many times. According to my opinion, Liu Zhang is definitely not a person who helps Zhou to do evil. Perhaps we can persuade him to switch sides, and it would not be a bad idea to join us in the crusade against Dong Zhuo!"
If Yuan Shu had no dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang half a year ago, on the contrary, because Yuan Shao frequently suffered defeat at the hands of Liu Zhang, Yuan Shu would still be happy!
But half a year ago, Yuan Shu's father Yuan Feng was ousted from power by Liu Zhang, which made Yuan Shu start to have serious opinions about Liu Zhang.
A blessing in disguise, Yuan Feng took the opportunity to retire and return home to escape Dong Zhuo's murderous hands. This also made Yuan Shu's impression of Liu Zhang less bad.
Yuan Shu actually didn't feel much about Yuan Wei's death. First of all, Yuan Wei's attitude towards Yuan Shu was not very good, and secondly, Yuan Wei was too good to Yuan Shao!
Yuan Shu even felt that without Yuan Wei standing in the way, Yuan Shao's desire to be the governor of Bohai would be a fool's errand!
However, Sun Jian's words reminded Yuan Shu that if Liu Zhang could really be made to switch sides and the two of them attack Dong Zhuo together, according to Liu Zhang's temperament, he would be too lazy to participate in government affairs. Wouldn't Yuan Shu have another chance to become Dong Zhuo's second?
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu immediately made a decision.
"Okay! Notify the whole army and send them wild jujubes!"
