"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, but he didn't 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 any selfish intentions? "
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 the 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. I only escaped with my life when I was 20,000 strong! I didn't hesitate after that. , the troops are pointing directly at Dagu Pass! Hu Zhen is so frightened that he only dares to huddle at the pass and does not dare to fight me. It won't be long before I break through Dagu Pass, and then I can march my army straight into Luoyang and take off Dong Zhuo's head. ! Report to the emperor, report to the emperor the hatred for Yuan Taiwei's tragic death!"
"At this critical moment, it's fine that General Yuan didn't support my troops. Sun Jian doesn't blame General Yuan, but why didn't he send me food and grass, causing my success to fail? I have 20,000 soldiers, and 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 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 considered to have 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 spread all over the place! Even the leader of the Yuan Shao Alliance wrote to ask about this matter. My lord is really under pressure. It’s too big and I can’t hold 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.
"Yes! 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 that Wentai is the general of Polu! When Dong Zhuo is defeated, I will definitely How about I tell you that Wentai 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 of Jingnan combined are not as good as 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 home base of the Yuan family. With Yuan Shu's support, 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 surrender to 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 told 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. Obviously very satisfied with this unexpected harvest!
"Wentai, Yuan Shao sent a letter to this 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! I will see in the end, the Dagong Pass and Yique Pass near Nanyang will be 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. But if compared together, Hulao Pass is the most difficult to break head-on.
Yuan Shu nodded slightly and agreed with Sun Jian's words. Yuan Shu has passed through all these checkpoints south of Luoyang. Before I escaped from Luoyang, I took Dagong Pass.
"I think so too, General, but that fellow Yuan Shao begged and threatened with righteousness, putting me in a difficult position!"
Sun Jian was filled with doubts. Are the Yuan brothers enlightened? Hasn't the relationship between them always been very bad? No one looks down on anyone!
"Mr. Yuan, why didn'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 be displeased by Yuan Shu.
"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 stopped participating in government affairs for no apparent reason, and he didn't know anything else. However, Sun Jian felt that if Liu Zhang blocked 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. From what I can see, Liu Zhang is definitely not someone who helps Zhou to do evil. Maybe we can persuade him to switch sides, and it might not be a bad idea to join us in the crusade against Dong Zhuo!"
If Yuan Shu was not dissatisfied with Liu Zhang half a year ago, on the contrary, because Yuan Shao frequently suffered defeat at the hands of Liu Zhang, Yuan Shu was still shouting!
But half a year ago, Yuan Shu's father Yuan Feng was single-handedly 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 is not very good, and secondly, Yuan Wei is too good to Yuan Shao!
Yuan Shu even felt that without Yuan Wei standing in the way, Yuan Shao's desire to become 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! Inform the entire army and send them wild jujubes!"
