I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 229 Zhang Wen Comforts Sun Jian
"Mr. Zhu wants to send troops to attack me because of that bandit Dong?" Hearing Zhang Wen's words, Sun Jian felt as if a bucket of ice water was being poured on his head, and he became sober in an instant.

It's not that he has a good relationship with Zhu Jun, but...he knows what kind of person Zhu Jun is.

Loyal and patriotic people.

Even such a person has joined Dong Zhuo's camp, what does it mean?
Explain your own judgment, it is very likely that you are wrong!

"Mr. Zhang..." Thinking of this, he glanced at the general who was still holding his hand, and said angrily, "Let's go!...Someone has something important to discuss with Zhang Gongfu."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xun Chen again, and said, "Ce'er, take Xun's envoys to rest in the camp. Everyone else also retreats. The Chinese military tent is under strict martial law. Anyone who dares to eavesdrop will be shot to death!"

"Father?..." Sun Ce, who was only 15 years old, still couldn't understand the adult's flamboyant operation, and didn't understand why his father was so angry just now, but now he was as cold as ice.

"Go down!"

On the contrary, Cheng Pu and other generals seemed to understand something, and persuaded Sun Ce to go down with good words, and were very polite to Xun Chen, and strictly ordered the guards outside the tent.

When only Sun Jian and Zhang Wen were left in the big tent, he suddenly bowed down and said, "Mr. Zhang, please remember the old love of following me loyally and fighting hard, and save my life!"

Zhang Wen was taken aback for a moment, then accepted Sun Jian's great gift calmly, and sighed slightly: "Wentai doesn't have to be like this, just ask whatever you want."

"The old man has no intention of going to court and the world. He only wants to be a high-ranking official under the command of the Taiwei and enjoy his old age peacefully. If there is no trouble for the upper body, the old man knows everything and can say everything."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang!" Sun Jian kowtowed heavily before he dared to get up.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Mr. Zhu...do you really want to lead the army to attack?"

"Gongwei wanted to come, but the Taiwei didn't agree."

Zhang Wen laughed when he heard the words, and said: "Dong Gong now has a large number of generals under his command, each with their own characteristics. Zhu Gongwei doesn't say anything, but he feels anxious in his heart, so I want to use you to boost his reputation and show that the sword is not old."

Sun Jian's face darkened when he heard the words: This is the truth...why does it sound so uncomfortable?

What does it mean to use me to boost your reputation?
In line with Zhu Gong's intention, do you still want me to be ignorant of flattery?
"However, don't be discouraged at Wentai. The reason why the Taiwei did not agree is because Gu Nian Gongwei is already old, and secondly, he is in charge of the defense of central Beijing as the Jinwu, so it is difficult to leave him."

"If Zhu Gongwei finds a suitable person to replace him for a while, such as Xu Rong and Xu Shenghua, presumably the Taiwei will still agree with Zhu Gongwei to join the battle, as a soldier or something."

Then he looked at Sun Jian and said with a smile: "At that time, you and the two of you will see each other on the battlefield."

"Mr. Zhang, please don't make fun of me." Sun Jian couldn't laugh at all, and frowned, "So, Bandit Dong's power has already covered the sky with one hand, and he is... very popular?"

"Heh, how can he not be powerful if he enshrines the emperor as Zhengshuo and conquers non-subjects?"

"In this way, if the imperial court makes an edict, it is really possible that I will fall into a situation of being surrounded by enemies and be in danger of being destroyed?" Sun Jian asked again with a serious expression.

"When you first came to the Central Plains, you don't know how things are going to change, right?" Zhang Wen obviously knew what Sun Jian was thinking, and said, "A few months ago, the eight princes of Qingyan Erzhou attacked the Taiwei and returned in defeat."

"I have heard about this matter."

"That's not the point." Zhang Wen shook his head, waved his hands, and said, "The point is that apart from Qiao Mao and Li Min who died in battle, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Liu Dai, Kong Ni, Yuan Yi and others who returned to rule can be described as Life is better than death."

"Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, had not yet arrived in Xuzhou. He heard that Guangling had been taken in by Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. He had to return to Chen Liutou and his brother."

"However, Zhang Miao's situation is not satisfactory. Complaints are everywhere in the territory, and the yellow scarves are revived. The two brothers are panicked like a bereaved dog. The reputation accumulated for many years has been destroyed in one go, and everyone scolds them!"

"The same is true in Liu Dai's territory. The Yellow Turban is in chaos, and no one in the surrounding counties dares to come to the rescue. They are afraid that they will be related to him and bear the name of traitor of the Han Dynasty."

"Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang... Heh, he was almost killed by the county official. Fortunately, he was too timid to escape, so he went north to join Yuan Shao. But Yuan Shao was also defeated by the Taiwei, so he could only hide in Bohai County."

"As for the most typical experience of Kong Ni, he is known as the governor of Yuzhou. After the defeat of Suanzao, the soldiers and horses under his command were in chaos. The furious soldiers heard that Kong Ni had long been designated as a traitor by the court, and immediately hacked him into flesh."

Sun Jian was very calm.

At least that's how it seems.

But Zhang Wen still observed that every time he told about a person's miserable experience, Sun Jian would unconsciously rub the handle of the knife with his fingers.

Then, Zhang Wen suddenly smiled, and patted Sun Jian on the back to reassure him: "There is no need to be so worried at Wentai, those people can only talk indifferently, and have no military talent."

"To such a state, apart from the fact that the surrounding counties were intimidated by the imperial edict and looked on and refused to help, it was more because they were not good at fighting."

"Wentai is different. It is brave, resolute, and loyal."

"Following the old man to conquer the Qiang and Hu, and Gongwei to pacify the Yellow Turban, and to survey and pacify the Xing Rebellion in Changsha, and to take advantage of the victory to cross the county to defeat the rebels in Lingling and Guiyang. He has the demeanor of a sage of the ancestors."

"Even if the imperial court ordered you to be determined, you are a rebellious minister like the Yuan brothers. The two of them can resist with the shadow of a famous and wealthy family, and you can also fight with all your strength to create a world of your own."

Now, instead of rubbing his fingers, Sun Jian held the handle of the knife tightly: Mr. Zhang, not only do I have no grievances with you, but I have old grievances, why do you think I'm an idiot?
Is this comforting me?
It is clear that standing and talking will not hurt your back!
The whole world regards the Han Dynasty as Zhengshuo, um, at least on the surface, but I suddenly became a traitor-do you think I am capable of fighting, and can make a living in such a predicament? ...

When I raised my troops against Dong Zhuo, the public opinion of the world was still in support.

It took several months to fight all the way from Changsha, and even took refuge in Yuan Shu according to the original plan, but you told me that the wind direction has changed now?

"Wentai, you don't have to hide from the old man." Zhang Wen seemed to have guessed what Sun Jian was thinking, patted his hand and said, "Don't hold the knife so tightly, the old man is afraid."

Sun Jian was taken aback, and hurriedly let go in shame.

"At the beginning, the old man saw that you had great ambitions, no less than that of the Taiwei. From the fact that you dared to kill the governor of Jingzhou and the prefect of Nanyang, the old man knew exactly what you wanted to do on this trip."

"It's a pity that the world is changing so fast that I really can't understand it. I don't know whether that thief Dong is blessed by God, or he has extraordinary talents."

Speaking of this, he sighed again: "Anyway, since he entered Beijing, every step he has taken is so wonderful that it is amazing."

"Now he has basically wiped out all dissidents in the court, and his relationship with the emperor is like a fish in water. The emperor not only obeys his words, but also seems to have a feeling of respect, love and admiration."

"And recently, as the newsletter came out of Luoyang, he traveled freely to the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. He is a thief... Bah, the Taiwei has gradually reversed his notoriety, and his momentum is overwhelming."

In the end, Zhang Wen leisurely looked at Sun Jian, and said something meaningful: "Wentai, the time is not waiting, after all, you are late..."

"Mr. Zhang..." Sun Jian was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say, and finally kowtowed solemnly: "Grandpa Zhang's kind words can be said to be heart-to-heart, thank you!"

"Hey, get up, it doesn't have to be like this between you and me." Zhang Wen gave some help this time, looking a little sleepy: "When you get old, you talk a lot without knowing it."

"If there is nothing else, the old man will go to rest."

Sun Jian glanced at the ancient ingot knife on the table again, feeling the urge to pick it up and chop someone up: Can you, don't stand like this and talk without back pain?
You want to go back and rest, but my life will soon be lost.

Looking at Sun Jian's hand pulling his robe, Zhang Wen remembered something, and suddenly said: "Oh... Wentai don't need to worry, if the Taiwei can easily destroy you, why would he send an envoy like this old man? "

Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he had been entangled in: That's right, if he issued an imperial edict, he could kill me with Zhu Jun, so why bother to take off his pants and fart, and send envoys over.

"The reason why I was sent to hold you back this time is because the Taiwei is still busy with government affairs in Luoyang. I heard that there are too many soldiers and horses under his command, and some need to be laid off. I am too lazy to fight with you for the time being."

"Abolish the troops?" Sun Jian was even more stunned, and said: "The Han Dynasty is in turmoil, and the powerful are afraid that there will be insufficient troops, so he still wants to abolish it?...In this way, he will have few soldiers at that time, and there is still a line of people below. vitality?"

"No." Zhang Wen still smiled, and looked at Sun Jian as fondly as he looked at his own stupid son: "What is Wentai thinking? Even if the Taiwei is dismissed again, there will still be an army of [-]."

"Besides, after the abolition, you will become the elite among the elite. You just need to practice with one person. Uh, the old man said, you can actually..."

"Can what?"

"You can die a few days later..."
