The Three Kingdoms: General Yu She, reincarnated a hundred times.

……

"Now is the time to turn the tables!"

Amidst Sun Jian's bewildered gaze and Yuan Shu's expectant one, Yu She spoke eloquently.

"If I'm not mistaken, Li Jue's visit this time must be to discuss the marriage alliance between that traitor Dong and Brother Wentai."

If we go there and kill Li Jue, Dong Zhuo will surely know that Wen Tai's resolve is unshakeable.

Moreover, Guo Si, another general guarding Sishui Pass, was a close friend of Li Jue, a sworn brother. If Li Jue died, he would defend Sishui to the death and fight Wentai to the death.

However, if one is merely being evasive and insincere, then the situation will be different!

If Wen Tai feigns agreement to the marriage alliance, then he can take advantage of the fact that Dong Jun saw Li Jue return safely from the general's camp and learned that the general intended to form a marriage alliance with Dong Jun, and that Dong Jun was unprepared.

If Yuan Gongfa, as the deputy leader of the alliance, summons the feudal lords, he will secretly deploy a large army to Sishui, under the command of Wentai.

"At that time, will Wentai be confident in breaking through Sishui, taking Luoyang directly, eliminating the traitor Dong Zhuo, and rescuing the Emperor?"

"How...how did you know that Li Jue was coming to arrange a marriage between us?"

Sun Jian looked at Yu She with puzzlement, but Yu She only pretended to be mysterious, saying, "If Wentai has any doubts, you might as well go back to the camp and see Li Jue, and you will know."

Yuan Shu then chuckled and said, "Wentai, there's no need to doubt him. Zichuan possesses the abilities of Guan Zhong and Yue Yi, and the strategies of Lü Bu and Zhang Fei. He can devise plans within the tent and win battles a thousand miles away with just a few words."

Sun Jian: "???"

He glanced at Yuan Shu, then at Yu She, and felt that something was off.

"Who knows?"

Yuan Shu pointed to a general who had just defeated Lü Bu and become famous among the warlords, insisting that he was as wise as Guan Zhong and Yue Yi, and as resourceful as Lü Wang and Zhang Liang.

Sun Jian: "..."

Sun Jian was momentarily at a loss for words, and could only remain silent before bowing and leaving.

……

Sun Jian bid farewell to Yuan Shu and arrived at the camp. Sure enough, he saw a man dressed in plain clothes, without armor, sitting upright in the guest seat in the tent waiting. Who else could it be but Li Jue?

Upon seeing Sun Jian enter, Li Jue immediately stood up, his face beaming with smiles, and bowed respectfully.

"Li Jue pays his respects to General Sun."

Sun Jian raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at him coldly, "You...? You do have some guts."

Our two armies clashed at Sishui Pass, fighting and vying for supremacy for countless days, yet today you dare to come alone to my tent.

Do you really think Sun's knife won't dare to cut you?

At this moment, Li Jue was also cursing Li Ru, who had given the prime minister advice, for arranging such a deadly task for him.

He was on a mission alone at this moment, trapped in the enemy camp. How could he dare to show the slightest arrogance of the Xiliang army? He could only act obsequiously.

"General Sun is joking."

Since the general raised his army in Changsha, he has been invincible in every attack and battle, and his prestige has shaken the world. Who does not know this?

Although the eighteen princes have now formed an alliance, they are in reality a million-strong rabble. The only person the Prime Minister is worried about is the General.

"I have been specially dispatched here today as an envoy, with a sincere desire to establish friendly relations and to form a marriage alliance with the General."

"A marriage alliance?"

Sun Jian exclaimed in surprise, his expression one of disbelief.

At this moment, the image of Yu She strategizing in Yuan Shu's tent involuntarily flashed into his mind.

[Zichuan possessed the talents of Guan Zhong and Yue Yi, and the strategic acumen of Lü Bu and Zhang Fei. He could devise plans within the tent and secure victory a thousand miles away, all in the midst of a casual conversation.]

Yuan Shu's words were still ringing in Sun Jian's ears, yet his heart was already filled with turbulent waves.

"He was as brave as three heroes to fight Lü Bu, and as eloquent as a god to predict events!"

Could there really be such extraordinary talent in the world?

"If we could gain Zichuan's assistance, what would prevent the Sun family's great undertaking from succeeding?"

……

Li Jue, of course, had no idea what Sun Jian was thinking. He only saw that Sun Jian looked shocked and assumed that he was horrified by the Prime Minister's marriage proposal, so he quickly took the opportunity to persuade him.

"General Sun need not doubt."

The Prime Minister truly did not wish to be enemies with the General, therefore he wished to forge a marriage alliance to quell the conflict.

"Now, the Prime Minister has a beloved daughter of beautiful age, and wishes to marry her to the General's son. From then on, our two families will be as close as lips and teeth, working together to support the Han Dynasty and protect the country. What does the General think?"

Sun Jian: "..."

Knowing his temperament, he would stop Li Jue before he could finish speaking and denounce Dong Zhuo's treacherous and immoral behavior!

However, considering the plan Yu She had previously explained, he was also willing to play along, but he really couldn't think of how he could agree to such a... such a marriage between a traitor and a state.

Therefore, he only had a cold expression and stared intently at Li Jue, remaining silent for a long time.

Seeing that Sun Jian was slow to react, Li Jue thought that he was actually wavering but was too proud to answer, so he quickly moved closer to persuade him.

"I hope the general will reconsider!"

Currently, the warlords of Guandong are nominally allied, but in reality, they each harbor their own ulterior motives, distrust each other, and hinder each other's progress.

The general possesses the ambition to serve his country and the ability to save the world, yet he is constantly constrained by others, even being relegated to this Sishui Pass, where he is forced to fight and wear down our army. Is this not a pity?

After much deliberation, Sun Jian finally came up with a reason that suited his own personality, preserved his reputation, and allowed him to turn the tables on the enemy.

Then he said to Li Jue:

"How can I believe you if it's just talk?

The girl can be sent first, and then the marriage can be arranged.

When Sun Jian said this, Li Jue was greatly alarmed.

Sun Jian's intention was clearly to have the Prime Minister send his daughter to him as a hostage before any marriage alliance could be formed.

He was about to speak again, but Sun Jian, fearing that saying more would lead to more mistakes, waved his hand.

"I, Sun, will not make things difficult for you. I will relay my message to Lord Dong. Whether or not to arrange the marriage is up to him to decide."

"this……"

Before he could hesitate, Cheng Pu had already stepped forward with his sword drawn and raised his hand in a gesture.

"please!"

Li Jue dared not linger, hastily took his leave, and went to report to Dong Zhuo.

Watching his departing figure, Sun Jian's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he whispered instructions to Huang Gai.

"Gongfu, you were also present when I discussed things with Yuan Gong and Zichuan, and you know the details."

"Then you shall make another trip and report all this to Lord Yuan, requesting that he immediately mobilize troops and provisions without hesitation!"

"Here you go!"

……

On this day, the sky was clear and the air was fresh.

When Dong Zhuo summoned his generals for a meeting, they saw him with a gloomy face, throwing the utensils on the table at Li Jue one by one.

"Could we send the girl first, and then arrange the marriage?"

What kind of face does Sun Jian have to dare say such a thing?

Li Jue, who was below the hall, was hit so hard that he ran away with his head in his hands, begging for mercy. "Prime Minister, please calm down. This Sun Jian is too rude." When Li Jue heard this, he was furious and immediately rebuked Sun Jian, so much so that none of the generals in his tent dared to speak.

"Prime Minister, do not be angry. I will now lead the troops out of Sishui Pass and fight Sun Jian to the death, bringing him his head to vent your anger."

"No!"

Upon hearing Li Jue's words, Li Ru, who had just come out of the tent, was immediately startled and hurriedly spoke up to stop him.

His arrival only fueled Dong Zhuo's anger, and he turned to stare coldly at Li Ru.

"Wenyou, is this the brilliant plan you came up with?"

That scoundrel Sun Jian actually wants to hold my daughter hostage? What kind of dog is he? My marriage alliance with him is already an honor for him; does he really think he's someone important?
