"General Yuan, I, Sun Jian, have no personal grievances with Zhang Zi, but because of General Yuan's words, I killed him without hesitation, and I was scolded by the people all over the world!"

Yuan Shu was very embarrassed, but he didn't expect Sun Jian to mention this matter.

"That's right, I've always remembered the merits of Wentai."

"May I ask, General Yuan, do I, Sun Jian, have any personal grievances with Dong Zhuo?"

"No."

Yuan Shu didn't hesitate, and shook his head happily.

"Okay, since General Yuan knows that Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo have no grudges, then he should know that Sun Jian came from Jingzhou on an expedition to conquer traitors for the country, and to avenge General Yuan's family's personal revenge! Have I, Sun Jian, ever had any selfish intentions? "

Sun Jian seemed calm, but in fact, everyone present knew the anger in his heart.

"No!"

Yuan Shu was also very frightened, and kept following Sun Jian's words.

"Since I led the army out of Luyang, I have won every battle and defeated several cities in a row. Dong Zhuo's general Hu Zhen was killed by me at the foot of Yangren City, and 20,000 troops were spared! I didn't hesitate after that. , the front of the soldiers pointed directly at Dagu Pass! Hu Zhen was frightened and dared not to fight me at the pass. Before long, Dagu Pass must be broken by me, and then I can march straight into Luoyang and take down Dong Zhuo's head. Level! Report to the emperor, and report to the hatred of Yuan Taiwei's tragic death!"

"At this critical moment, it's fine if General Yuan doesn't support my troops. Sun Jian doesn't blame General Yuan, but why didn't he send me food and grass, so that I failed? Of the 20,000 soldiers under my command, not one out of ten is left! General Yuan How can I explain to the people of Changsha? My general Zu Mao died protecting me, how does General Yuan want me to face his wife and children?"

The more Sun Jian spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes were red and his whole body was shaking!

"Wentai, I..."

Yuan Shu got nervous and completely forgot the rhetoric that Yan Xiang gave him before! He quickly turned his head to look at Yan Xiang, hoping that Yan Xiang could help him out.

Yan Xiang sighed softly, it is considered a bad luck for eight lifetimes for such a lord on the stand!

"Shou Taishou, please mourn, my lord is at fault for this matter, and I will definitely give Sun Taishou an explanation!"

Yan Xiang beckoned, and then his servants hurried forward and brought a head.

"Prefect Sun, this person is Dong Zhuo's spy. A few days ago in Luyang, he continued to spread the words that Prefect Sun intends to replace Dong Zhuo, causing rumors to spread everywhere! Even the leader Yuan Shao wrote a letter to inquire about this matter. My lord is really under pressure. It's too big, I can't stand it!"

"But Sun Taishou don't worry, my lord has never questioned Sun Taishou, and will definitely give Sun Taishou an explanation!"

Sun Jian's face softened a little. He knew that the head in front of him must be a scapegoat, but Yuan Shu's attitude had already met his psychological expectations. Now at this time, Sun Jian couldn't do without Yuan Shu even more.

"That's right! What Mr. Yan said is right. Wentai suffered heavy losses, and all these generals know about it! How about this, I will send thousands of troops to Wentai first, and by the way, play Wentai as General Polu! When Dong Zhuo is defeated, I will definitely How about expressing that Wentai is the governor of Yuzhou?"

Sun Jian's pupils shrank, and he was very shocked by this compensation, but he quickly covered it up,

The governor of Yuzhou, this is not comparable to the prefect of Changsha, even the four counties of Jingnan combined cannot compare with Runan County! What's more, the governor of Yuzhou?

Yuzhou is the most densely populated state in the Han Dynasty, and the agriculture is very developed. If there are people, it means that there are soldiers, and if there is food, you can fight everywhere! Moreover, Yuzhou is the old nest of the Yuan family, and with Yuan Shu's support, Sun Jian can secure his position as governor of Yuzhou!

"Wentai, are you satisfied with this supplement?"

Seeing that Sun Jian's face softened, Yuan Shu also felt relieved. He was tempted by these compensations, which showed that Sun Jian could be controlled by him.

"Sun Jian will serve under Duke Yuan's command in the future, please don't be suspicious!"

Yuan Shu was overjoyed immediately. Sun Jian's address to him had changed from General Yuan to Duke Yuan.

"It's easy to say! It's easy to say! Wentai is brave. It's too late for the general to love him. How could he be suspicious of Wentai!"

Sun Jian had already been told countless times by Cheng Pu, telling him that he must accept as soon as he was good, and now he happened to go down the donkey along the slope.

"Thank you Yuan Gong."

Yuan Shu looked sideways at Yang Hong who was at the side, and smiled at him. Obviously very happy with this windfall!

"Wentai, Yuan Shao wrote a letter to Ben, inviting him to move his troops to Suanzao and attack Hulao Pass together with him, what do you think?"

Sun Jian frowned and shook his head slightly.

"Yuan Gong, Luoyang has eight guards, the most dangerous of which is the Hulao Pass. If you want to break through this powerful pass, you don't know how many soldiers' lives you will have to pay! According to the general, the Dagu Pass and Yique Pass near Nanyang are even more dangerous. Easy to break through."

Sun Jian said that it is easier to completely compare Hulao Pass. In fact, every level of Luoyang Eight Passes can be called a natural and powerful pass. But if they are compared together, Hulao Pass is the most difficult to break through.

Yuan Shu nodded slightly, agreeing with Sun Jian's words. Yuan Shu has gone through all these checkpoints in the south of Luoyang. Before escaping from Luoyang, it was Dagu Pass.

"This general also thinks the same way, but Yuan Shao begged with words and threatened with righteousness, which made it difficult for me!"

Sun Jian was very puzzled, did the Yuan brothers get enlightened? Hadn't their relationship always been very bad? No one looks down on anyone!

"Duke Yuan, why didn't Yuan Shao attack Luoyang from Hanoi?"

In front of Yuan Shu, no one can show respect to Yuan Shao, this is common sense, and Sun Jian knew this. So even if he called Yuan Shao a servant of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu would not be displeased.

"Hey! It's not that Liu Zhang is in Hulao Pass, Yuan Shao's trash was bullied by Liu Zhang very badly, and now some soldiers and horses naturally want to avenge their previous blows!"

Liu Zhang! Sun Jian couldn't help thinking about that heroic young man! If there is anyone in Luoyang that makes him afraid, it must be Liu Zhang!

Liu Zhang had been silent for a long time, Sun Jian only knew that Liu Zhang had ceased to participate in government affairs for some reason, and he didn't know anything else. However, Sun Jian felt that if Liu Zhang obstructed Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo would never dare to be so arrogant.

"Yuan Gong, Liu Zhang will be clear about this person, and the general will fight side by side with him many times. From the general's point of view, Liu Zhang is definitely not a person who assists the emperor and abuses him. Maybe he can be persuaded to defect, and it is not a bad idea to join us in the crusade against Dong Zhuo!"

If Yuan Shu hadn't been dissatisfied with Liu Zhang half a year ago, on the contrary, because Yuan Shao frequently suffered under Liu Zhang's hands, Yuan Shu would still be happy!

But half a year ago, Yuan Shu's father, Yuan Feng, was kicked out by Liu Zhang, which made Yuan Shu also have a lot of opinions on Liu Zhang.

Yuan Feng escaped Dong Zhuo's murderous hands by taking the opportunity of retiring from his old age and returning home, which also made Yuan Shu's impression of Liu Zhang not so bad.

Yuan Shu actually didn't feel much about Yuan Kai's death. First of all, Yuan Kai's attitude towards Yuan Shu is not very good, and secondly, Yuan Wei's attitude towards Yuan Shao is really too good!

Yuan Shu even felt that if Yuan Wei hadn't been in the way, Yuan Shao's desire to be the prefect of Bohai would be nothing but a dream!

However, Sun Jian's words reminded Yuan Shu that if Liu Zhang could turn against him and the two attacked Dong Zhuo together, Liu Zhang's temperament would make him too lazy to participate in government affairs. Wouldn't Yuan Shu have another chance to be Dong Zhuo's second?

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu immediately made a decision.

"Okay! Inform the whole army, and the soldiers will send wild jujubes!"
