Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 264 Sun Jian's Ambition

Chapter 260 Four

"You bastard, what are you talking nonsense about? I still don't take it down." Seeing the strange atmosphere in the hall, Wei Zhongdao rushed out and yelled at the eunuch.

Following Wei Zhongdao's scolding, soldiers dragged the eunuch out, but the edict and seal brought by the eunuch had already reached Sun Jian's hands.

"Sun Jian, what do you mean?" Seeing Sun Jian accepting the imperial decree and seal, Kong Ni, governor of Yuzhou, asked with an ugly expression.

"Hehe, don't worry about this. Who am I, Sun Jian? How could I have fallen for Dong Zhuo's tricks? The reason why I kept these things is to ask Dong Zhuo when I hit Luoyang to see how he is doing. What are you thinking?" Looking at Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou who was furious, Sun Jian laughed and said.

Although Sun Jian said it lightly, everyone expressed doubts about his actions.

"Since General Sun knows that this is Dong Zhuo's alienation plan, he should destroy Dong Zhuo's imperial decree and seal on the spot. Only in this way can we rest assured." Yuzhou Inspector Kong Ni said.

"Kong Cishi is right. Sun Jian and we are all against Dong Zhuo's alliance. Why did you accept Dong Zhuo's things under such circumstances? Doesn't this worry me?" Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, also took the opportunity to say.

"Hey, that's not right. Are there few princes who accept Dong Zhuo's official position among the princes today? Besides, I, Sun Jian, did not accept the official position given by Dong Zhuo. Are you speaking against me?" See Kong Ni, governor of Yuzhou Qiao Mao, prefect of Hedong County, refused to do it, Sun Jian said sternly.

You must know that Dong Zhuo gave Yuan Shu the post-general, but no one felt that it was inappropriate. Why did Dong Zhuo give Sun Jian the title of governor, and Sun Jian wanted to send it back?Although it is still impossible for Sun Jian to acquire Yuzhou and become a veritable governor of Yuzhou, the status of governor is fundamentally different from that of prefect. He also cared a lot about his status, even if it was Dong Zhuo's trick, Sun Jian couldn't help but be tempted.

"Why do you three have to fight over this matter? Didn't the three of you fall into Dong Zhuo's plan? The most important thing right now is to work together to capture Luoyang and welcome the emperor. When the time comes, you will not be here Now, why bother arguing about these benefits?" Wei Zhongdao said with a smile when he saw that several people refused to give in.

"Haha, what the military adviser said is right, everyone should calm down. As far as I know, Yuan Shao has already fought Dong Zhuo at Chen Liu's side. Now is the time for our army to attack. As long as Luoyang is taken, everything will come naturally. I can't do without you." Yuan Shu saw several people arguing endlessly, so he could only come out to make peace with him. He must have been bestowed by Dong Zhuo, so he couldn't speak for Kong Ni, but at the same time, Yuan Shu was a little worried about Sun Jian's actions. It is also the foundation of his Yuan Shu.

"The latter general is right. This subordinate is going to prepare for the army." Seeing that Yuan Shu didn't mean to blame himself, Sun Jian shook his hand and left.

After Sun Jian left, all the princes saw that the matter was irreversible, so they all got up and left one by one.

"Wei Zhongdao, what do you think of this Sun Jian?" After everyone left, Yuan Shu called Wei Zhongdao to his side and asked.

"Sun Jian is more than fierce, but at the same time he is a very selfish guy, my lord has to guard against it." Wei Zhongdao glanced at Yuan Shu, and said tentatively.

"I also know this. Today we used Sun Jianzhu to kill Wang Rui and Zhang Zi, and then annexed the Jingzhou Army and Nanyang Army. I think Sun Jian must have a grudge against us." Yuan Shu said with a slight frown.

"Hehe, my subordinate has a plan to make that dumb Sun Jian suffer from eating Coptis chinensis." Wei Zhongdao said with a chuckle, "Why didn't the general send a team to Nanyang quietly at this time, to control the territory of Nanyang, In this way, most of Yuzhou is in the hands of the lord." Wei Zhongdao said.

"Well, you're right. I'm going to send people to divide into two groups now, one to take Nanyang and the other to take Jingzhou. In this way, I, Yuan Shu, can be proud of the princes and compete for the world, hahaha." Yuan Shu thought of the benefits, Can't stop laughing.

"My lord, no. With my lord's current strength, it is not a problem to send troops to capture Nanyang at this time, but it is absolutely impossible to send troops to take Jingzhou. My lord, think about it at this time. Sun Jian has suffered such a big loss, why can he still succeed?" Endure it? It is because the lord was originally strong, and at this time he won the soldiers of Nanyang in Jingzhou, Sun Jian did not dare to act rashly. If the lord dispatched troops to Nanyang and Jingzhou at this time, Sun Jian would take action, which would be detrimental to the lord. "Wei Zhongdao reminded.

"Oh, you're right, I almost missed a big deal. But Jingzhou is fertile and wild, and it is a battleground for military strategists. Is it possible to leave it like this? Thinking about Sun Jian's idea of ​​attacking Jingzhou, it is not a day or two, I If you don't go, Sun Jianjian will find a way to take it down." Yuan Shu said worriedly.

"Hehe, don't worry, my lord. This subordinate has already made up his mind. My lord may write a letter to Yuan Shao, asking him to send someone to Jingzhou to serve as the governor of Jingzhou in the name of the lord of the lords. In this way, Sun Jian will definitely feel that Yuan Shao wants Take Jingzhou, so Sun Jian will be more obedient to the lord because of Yuan Shao, an enemy." Wei Zhongdao said.

"Wei Zhongdao, what kind of bad idea did you come up with? I finally got the chance to win Jingzhou, so how can I hand it over to Yuan Shao?" Yuan Shu was very unhappy when he heard that Yuan Shao was going to send someone to accept Jingzhou. See Wei Zhongdao His eyes also became weird.

"Hahaha, does my lord think that such a huge Jingzhou can be taken down by just one person with a single mouth? Just imagine, my lord, among the princes who are capable of taking down Jingzhou, only the lord and Sun Jian are close to Jingzhou. That's all, as long as Yuan Shao sends someone to be the governor of Jingzhou, Sun Jian will not dare to take action easily because of Yuan Shao. In this way, Jingzhou is not fortified for the lord, and the lord can get it at any time. Besides, Yuan Shao Far away in Jizhou, it is just a dream to occupy Jingzhou, and the people sent by Yuan Shao will not have to rely on the support of the lord to gain a foothold in Jingzhou." Wei Zhongdao laughed, and gave Yuan Shu a fight without a fight. soldier's idea.

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful. Yuan Shao is fighting Dong Zhuo at this time. I believe he is exhausted. Naturally, he can't spare any troops to go to Jingzhou. No matter who he sends to Jingzhou, it's just a decoration, just to suppress Sun Jian. Let Sun Jian be honest. Fight for us on the ground." After hearing Wei Zhongdao's plan, Yuan Shu couldn't help but recall it.

At the same time, Sun Jian also returned to his barracks.

"The general heard that Dong Zhuo sent an envoy and gave the general the title of governor?" Seeing Sun Jian's return, Cheng Pu hurriedly asked.

"What's so good about it, it must be Dong Zhuo's plan to alienate." Huang Gai said with some worry.

"Hmph, do we still need Dong Zhuo to divorce? Yuan Shu is too unkind. I killed Nanyang prefect Zhang Zi for him, but he didn't give me any benefits. He annexed Jingzhou soldiers and Nanyang soldiers alone. Isn't Sun Jian a free butcher?" Sun Jian also said with a full stomach.

"Does the general suspect that the news of the siege by the princes today is the ghost of Yuan Shu Island?" Huang Gai asked suddenly.

"Does it need to be said? Only the two of us know about the killing of Zhang Zi and Wang Rui. It wasn't Yuan Shu who made trouble, could it be that there was a traitor among us?" Sun Jian said with a sneer.

"Since Yuan Shu is so unkind, why doesn't the general tell the truth, so that the world can know Yuan Shu's face." Cheng Pu said fiercely.

"I'm a rat crossing the street now. Everyone shouts and beats me. Who will believe me even if I say it? Besides, although we failed to annex Jingzhou soldiers, the huge territory of Jingzhou is right in front of us. Didn't Dong Zhuo give me the title of governor?" Come on, it's time for me to own the governor's territory." Sun Jian said with his eyes fixed.

"No wonder the lord is unwilling to hand over the imperial decree and seal? So the lord has such thoughts? It's just that I have little knowledge." Huang Gai said, his heart moved when he heard it.

"Jiangdong is good, but it's too remote. Jingzhou is rich and strong, and it's close to Jiangdong. It's the place where soldiers use their troops. I've been coveting Jingzhou for a long time. This time, I must not give up in vain." Sun Jian said.

"It turns out that my lord wants to exchange Yuzhou for Jingzhou. My lord really has a clever plan." Cheng Pu said in admiration after hearing this.

"Yuzhou is the foundation of Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu will naturally not let it go. Besides, Yuzhou has another hole besides Yuan Shu, and it is already overcrowded. Since they don't want to give up Yuzhou, then I will take Jingzhou. The reason why I don’t want to fall out with Yuan Shu is that I will still be a neighbor in the future, ha ha.” After talking about it, Sun Jian said with a chuckle.

"With the lord here, it seems that Yuan Shu, the neighbor, will not be able to live in peace. I wish the lord a victory and a great future." Huang Gai bowed down on one knee as he spoke.

Ever since, although Yuan Shu and Sun Jian still maintained the alliance relationship, there were many rifts between them, so that military operations were delayed.

Although Wancheng fell into a stalemate for a while, the other side was a completely different scene.When the first ray of sunlight hit the earth in the morning, on the vast land between Chenliu and Zhongmou, military flags were flying, war horses were neighing, and neatly lined up teams were marching on the land of the Central Plains.

In the small woods next to it, a group of scouts were waiting for a large group of soldiers and horses in the distance with piercing eyes.

"Captain, look at the soldiers and horses coming over there. It's the coalition of princes, should we report to the general immediately." A scout said nervously when he saw the army of princes appearing in the distance.

"What's the rush? It won't be too late to report back after seeing the enemy's flag clearly." The captain was obviously not as anxious as the soldier, and said carefully, staring at the opposite flag.
