I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 294 The Tiger's Choice
Dong Zhuo sent a second wave of large-scale crusade against Liu Jian.

Hu Zhen was the main general, Lu Bu and Hua Xiong were the deputy, and there were also many school lieutenants and Sima-level figures from Xiliang and Bingzhou.

At the same time, Yuan Shao was not idle on this side.

Yuan Shao was doing a major event here, and he sent an envoy Pang Ji to Changsha to meet Sun Jian.

Since Sun Jian received Yuan Shu's letter, he has been lying in Changsha because of his illness.

He knew that sooner or later he would have to obey Yuan Shu or Yuan Shaozhong, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.

After Yuan Shao's envoy Pang Ji came to Changsha, he presented a big gift to Sun Jian, which moved Sun Jian very much.

It was the head of Wang Rui, the new governor of Jingzhou.

Now Yuan Shao is the envoy of Jingzhou Beimu. According to his status, the counties of Jingzhou north of the Yangtze River are all under Yuan Shao's control, and the governor has nothing to say.

In this way, the scope of supervision of the governor of Jingzhou is only the four counties in the south of Jingzhou.

Among the four counties in the south, if Wang Rui came to take up the post, the first thing he would target would be the fierce tiger Sun Jian.

Sun Jian is the prefect of Changsha, and the area under his jurisdiction is also under Wang Rui's supervision.

Although the governor only has [-] shi, he has the power to monitor Sun Jian, which is used by the court to restrain the local prefect, and the current governor-level figures all have the power to organize the army of the governor's department.

Once Wang Rui arrived in Jingnan, he could organize the army of the Jingzhou Governor's Department and form another force in Jingnan to fight against Sun Jian.

This was also one of Dong Zhuo's goals in appointing Wang Rui as the governor of Jingzhou.

He just wanted to install his own power in the south and prevent Yuan Shao from dominating the southern border and becoming the King of the Southern Heaven.

But the background of the Yuan family is too deep, it is not something that Dong Zhuo can casually place a few people to affect their local appeal.

Poor Wang Rui, who just became the governor of Jingzhou, wanted to sneak into Jingnan quietly, but was accidentally killed by the local barbarians near the Xiangjiang River.

As for the barbarian who killed him, no one can say for sure, anyway, Wang Rui's head was sent to Sun Jian in the end by Pang Ji's hands.

After knowing the identity of the person in front of him, Sun Jian was somewhat moved.

Although killing Wang Rui would be beneficial for Yuan Shao himself to occupy Jingnan, but Sun Jian is undoubtedly the person who can benefit most directly.

In fact, from Yuan Shao's point of view, at this time, it would be the best strategy to let Wang Rui take office directly and Sun Jian spend time with each other in Jingnan.

In this way, Yuan Shao can take advantage of the competition between the snipe and the clam to benefit the fisherman, and finally wait for Jingnan's governor and prefects to be exhausted before finding a way to take Jingnan.

But now Yuan Shao didn't do that.

Instead, he directly helped Sun Jian get rid of Wang Rui, and he directly helped Sun Jian solve a problem.

In this way, Sun Jian would naturally feel grateful to Yuan Shao.

……

Pang Jidao: "Yuan Gong has long admired the great name of Sun Fujun, and his ears are like thunder. Now the general is in the south of Jingzhou, and Yuan Gong is in the north of Jingzhou. The land of Jingxiang is under the control of the two. When I come, Yuan Gong asked me to convey. As long as the general is willing, Yuan Gong is willing to share this land of Jingzhou with the general."

Sun Jian was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Jingzhou is Duke Yuan's foundation, how can we share it with others?"

Pang Ji shook his head: "Mr. Sun, you really underestimate Duke Yuan's ambition."

"Yuan Shijun, the fourth generation and the third prince, is an outstanding person in the country, a model for the world, and has the spirit of leading the world. How can he lie in the land of Jingzhou for a long time?"

"Jingzhou is just the place where the envoy started. Now that Kong Ni is in Yingchuan, Yuan Gong intends to station Zhou Ang in Runan again to help him rule Yuzhou,"

"With the prestige of the Yuan family in Runan and Yingchuan, the land of Yuzhou can be determined at any time. In this way, Duke Yuan can cross the land of Jing and Yuzhou,"

"Yuan Yi of Hanzhong and Berkshire, and Yuan Zhong of Peiguo, are all brothers of Duke Yuan. They look forward to Duke Yuan's leadership. After Jingyu is settled, they will pacify Yizhou and unite Yi, Jing, Yu, and Yang into one. Duke Yuan Governor's, "

"In Yanzhou to the north, there are Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, Liu Dai, Cao Cao and others who respect Duke Yuan. Looking around the world, who can rival Duke Yuan?"

Yuan Shao's layout is so vast, and he actually wanted to use the Yuan family's layout to separate half of the world, which really moved Sun Jian.

Afterwards, I heard Pang Ji say: "The world's famous scholars, well-dressed and well-dressed, all have their hearts on Yuan Gong. Now that Yuan Gong and Dong Zhuo are confronting each other, although they are temporarily on the defensive, when it comes to background and power, Dong Zhuo is far behind Yuan Gong. Sooner or later You must be defeated by Duke Yuan!"

"Based on Pang's shallow and foolish opinion, Duke Yuan is bound to become a major force, and now, Duke Yuan has talents from all walks of life under his command, but he lacks a general who is brave enough to lead the three armies and can lead an army of [-] for him. Looking at the world, there are Whose bravery can beat Wentai?"

"Yuan Gong meant that he wanted to worship Wentai as a general and achieve great things with you. As long as Wentai is willing to promise, Wentai will be the No. 1 military affairs under Yuan Gong from now on. As long as Wentai lives up to Yuan Gong, Yuan Gong will never Negative office too!"

When he said this, Pang Ji turned around and clapped his hands.

Afterwards, some of his subordinates carried up the gift carefully prepared by Yuan Shao.

Although they are all treasures and treasures, as long as you carefully identify them, you will find that many of the gifts Yuan Shao presented to Sun Jian were carefully selected.

Gifts are only one aspect of etiquette, and they only represent the friendliness and respect of the giver, but in fact, sometimes you can see the care of the giver after listening to the gift carefully.

Sun Jian walked up to the presents, looked at them carefully, and finally set his eyes on an open box.

There is a pair of bright light armor polished and polished inside.

Sun Jian stretched out his hand to stroke the armor lightly, and then he couldn't help but sighed: "Mr. Yuan has always been known as a role model in the world, and today I know that the world's evaluation is true!"

When Pang Ji heard this, he smiled: "So, Wentai has agreed to Yuan Gongzhi's invitation?"

Sun Jian clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Yuan is so kind to me, how could Sun refuse to do so? Please tell Mr. Yuan that Sun Jian is packing up his troops in Changsha, and will go to Nanyang the next day to deal with Dong Zhuo together with Mr. Yuan!"

Pang Ji hurriedly said: "Okay, okay! It's not too late, I'll set off to return to Nanyang and tell Yuan Gong the good news!"

Sun Jian said again: "There is one more thing, please tell Mr. Yuan to Mr. Yuan!"

Pang Ji asked, "What's the matter at Wentai?"

Sun Jian turned around and went back to the inner room. When he was young, he came out with a slip and handed it to Pang Ji and said, "This is the letter between Yuan Gonggong and me at the beginning. It is also because of this letter that I complained of illness in Changsha and never came to the front line in person. To help Yuan Gong, I also ask Pang Gong to hand it over to Yuan Gong on his behalf, to show my heart for helping each other."

When Pang Ji heard this, his heart suddenly tightened.

Knowing that this matter was no small matter, he did not dare to delay, and hastily accepted Sun Jian's letter to bid him farewell.

……

Sun Jian defected to Yuan Shao, ready to go north to help him deal with Dong Zhuo.

On the other hand, Liu Jian is planning where to use his troops at Yanjin Ferry.

Ever since he defeated Niu Fu, Liu Jian has been thinking about where he should go to settle down next.

There is still a gap between our own side and the Xiliang army. The main reason for defeating Niu Fu is because they defeated Niu Fu himself, but it does not mean that their strength is stronger than that of Xiliang soldiers. Field battles are not suitable for Liu Jian.

Yanjin has been beaten to pieces. At this moment, it is necessary to change another fortified city in order to continue to deal with Xiliang soldiers.

But where should it go?
Just as Liu Jian was contemplating, Guan Yu walked in with big strides.

"Fourth brother, do you need me?"

Guan Yu turned to Liu Jian respectfully and said: "Brother, that Ma Jie who was captured alive by my brother wants to ask to see my brother, will I see him or not?"
