Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 449 Zhang Sui vs Yuan Shao
Zhang Sui looked at Yuan Shao in bewilderment and said, "Please tell me clearly, father-in-law."

"I don't know what else I can say."

After a pause, Zhang Sui suddenly realized, "Father-in-law, you want to hear about my experience in the war over the past six months, right?"

"Is such that."

"I followed my father-in-law's order to go south to Xuzhou. I don't know where my elder brother got the news from, but he went south to attack Langya County first."

"Then my eldest brother was defeated by Zang Ba."

"I led the troops there, defeated Zang Ba, and captured Langya County."

"Brother is taking all the troops in Langya County, including some of my elite troops."

"I took the remaining troops and marched south again, and captured Lu Bu in Xiapi."

"Hundreds of people were killed during this period."

"It just so happened that Sun Ce, under Yuan Shu, attacked and massacred people in Guangling. I had no choice but to send troops to guard Guangling to prevent Sun Ce from heading north from Guangling to Xuzhou."

"Afterwards, I took some troops and took over Lujiang County."

"Lujiang County is Sun Ce's only way to dominate the world, and—"

Before Zhang Sui could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yuan Shao.

What does this say?
If we continue to talk about this, it’s all military achievements!
And it’s a glorious military achievement!
Jiang Qi and other generals also looked at Zhang Sui in surprise.

He was just recalled from Yuyang by Yuan Shao a few days ago.

During this period, all he heard were bad news: the two major military advisors, Guo Tu and Xu You, were killed by their own people; Guo Yuan's 3,000 cavalry troops who came to aid Shouchun were surrounded and attacked; the eldest prince's 50,000 troops were defeated in Puyang and were almost wiped out.

But I didn’t expect that Xuzhou and Lujiang County would be taken!

Plus, it sounds easy!
Yuan Shao slapped the table in front of him and said sternly: "You should know what I want to ask you!"

"Guo Yuan's 3,000 cavalrymen were surrounded near Daze Township."

"After you took Xuzhou, why didn't you provide support?"

"Guo Tu and Xu You were the military advisors I assigned to you. Why did you let Tan'er kill them?"

"I give you 20,000 elite soldiers, and you bring me back 1,000 undisciplined recruits?"

"You're going to piss me off, aren't you?"

"You guys are so worried about me?"

"I just didn't ask you to lead the troops south to Shouchun, and you are neglecting your duty and taking revenge like this?"

"Although Xu You has offended you many times, they are all minor matters."

"Guo Tu has no grudge against you."

"Why would you do such a thing?"

Yuan Shao's face turned red, veins on his neck throbbed, and he began to cough violently.

Ju Su hurried forward and patted Yuan Shao on the back.

The only sound echoing in the entire government hall was Yuan Shao's cough.

Zhang Sui looked at Yuan Shao expressionlessly.

If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?
He was too lazy to argue.

It's just a waste of time to argue.

After coughing for a while, Yuan Shao pointed at Zhang Sui and said, "Since you haven't realized your mistakes yet, you should stay in Yecheng for the time being, hand over your military power, and reflect on your mistakes!"

Zhang Sui lied without blushing, "I brought back the 20,000 elite troops you gave me and General Yan Liang's 3,000 cavalrymen with almost no losses. We are stationed outside the city. The tiger talisman is in General Yan Liang's hand."

"Some of the other 1,700 elite infantrymen were given to my eldest brother, and were lost by him."

"The rest were placed by me in various strategic locations to guard against Sun Ce's attack and to suppress the Lujiang County we just captured."

"The one thousand people we brought back this time are all from the various noble families in Lujiang County, just to make up the numbers."

"I didn't bring any soldiers back, and my father-in-law couldn't bear it, so I asked the various noble families for help. I promised them that I would bring them back intact in the future."

"Therefore, I cannot hand over the tiger talismans of these one thousand people."

"If my father-in-law insists on having troops, I will write a letter right now and ask all the soldiers from Xuzhou and Lujiang County to withdraw."

"However, once these troops withdraw, Xuzhou and Lujiang County, which we have just conquered with great difficulty, will surely fall into chaos again."

"Sun Ce will not miss this opportunity and will definitely go north." "Father-in-law, if something goes wrong, I'm leaving this out now, so don't blame me again."

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Sui, clenching his fists.

After a while, he said sarcastically, "You are quite capable."

Zhang Sui looked at Jiang Qi and other generals and said, "Generals, the Third Young Master led 20,000 elite troops to attack Xuzhou. Chunyu Qiong was the commander, and Feng Ji and Shen Pei were military advisors. In the end, Feng Ji was killed, and the 20,000 elite troops were almost wiped out."

"I also led 20,000 elite troops south to Xuzhou, killed Lu Bu, seized Xuzhou, seized Lujiang County, and pacified the local aristocratic families."

"Am I considered capable?"

Jiang Qi and others looked at each other.

If that's the case, it's really a great ability!
They all knew Lu Bu's strength.

At the beginning, Lu Bu surrendered to Yuan Shao. Later, due to conflicts, Yuan Shao wanted to kill Lu Bu. He sent Yan Liang to lead tens of thousands of troops to besiege Lu Bu, but Lu Bu escaped.

Now, the lord's son-in-law brought 20,000 elite troops and destroyed Lu Bu!
Jiang Qi nodded, his eyes slightly shining as he said, "It is indeed a great ability."

The other generals also nodded.

Yuan Shao felt a pang in his heart when he saw the approving eyes of the generals.

This son-in-law.

There are already some signs of getting out of control!
If there is no balance and one of them becomes the only one in power, something terrible might happen!
Yuan Shao raised his hand to stop everyone from talking.

Looking at Zhang Sui, Yuan Shao said solemnly: "He has made contributions, yes."

"But do you dare to say that all this is your credit?"

"I'll give you some advice."

"General Yan Liang is leading two armies of three thousand cavalry to support you."

"These are things Shang'er didn't have before."

“Young people, be humble and avoid arrogance and impatience.”

"Besides, the mistakes you made before did exist!"

After coughing a few times, Yuan Shao tapped the table in front of him with his right finger and said, "Looking at your confused expression, it's hard for you to understand why I called you back this time."

"You have become too proud and undisciplined. You need to calm down."

"Have you ever thought that with the assistance of the Second Army of 3,000 Cavalry led by Beijia and General Yan Liang, it would be just as easy for Gao Gan, Xi'er, and General Jiang Qi to replace them."

Zhang Sui said "oh".

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "If you don't want to hand over the tiger talisman for a thousand men, then don't hand it over!"

"It's just that you should go back to your residence during this time, study with Tan'er, and reflect on yourself."

"You are not allowed to leave Yecheng without my consent."

"besides--"

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and said, "Regarding the situation in Xuzhou and Lujiang County, write me a report in the next few days."

"I will arrange officials for Xuzhou and Lujiang County."

Zhang Sui raised his head, faced Yuan Shao and said, "Father-in-law, I am the governor of Xuzhou."

Yuan Shao's face, which had originally calmed down, turned gloomy again.

Zhang Sui was too lazy to pretend anymore, and took out Yuan Shao's appointment document from his sleeve before he set out, opened it, and showed it to everyone, saying, "This is the document and military order my father-in-law issued to appoint me as the governor of Xuzhou."

Ju Su: “.”

Xun Chen: “.”

Jiang Qi and others: “.”

Zhang Sui handed the appointment document and military order to Jiang Qi and others, and then took out the emperor's appointment document and unfolded it, saying: "This is the appointment document that the emperor issued to me after he knew that I had taken Xuzhou."

The entire government hall fell silent in an instant.

The emperor's appointment document!
When did this son-in-law get in touch with the emperor?

Ju Su's face suddenly changed. He stood up and walked forward quickly. He took the document from Zhang Sui's hand, glanced at it, and said in a lost voice, "Qian Bocheng, are you the General of Guarding the East and the Governor of Xuzhou?"
