There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Shu's smile seemed mocking and helpless, and he said, "Isn't that right? Zhou Xin asked Danyang County to be given to Wu Jing, and Wu Jing himself crippled himself. The one named Tao was originally granted the title of emperor, and now Danyang County is empty." Now, he came here to take over the county affairs as it should be, everything is for a reason, at this time, what reason does Yuan Mou have to send someone to replace him?"

Sun Jian's expression was also a bit ugly: "Mr. Yuan intends to let Tao Qian pick up such a big deal for nothing?"

Yuan Shu's lips were trembling with anger: "So what if I don't let him pick it up? The family surnamed Tao has a Ming imperial edict from the imperial court! Even so, Tao Qian's son didn't dare to come to grab the city with Yuan. But right now, it’s Yuan’s own people who don’t live up to expectations. They ruined themselves and were carried back on a stretcher by their subordinates! Those [-] county towns left empty and left unattended. Come here to clean up the mess for Yuan Mou now! Don’t say that Yuan Mou is blaming him now, maybe he has to write a private letter and send someone to send some gifts to thank him!"

Seeing that Yuan Shu's anger had reached its peak, Sun Jian couldn't say anything more.

In any case, this matter is still at fault for my unworthy brother-in-law.

"General Empress, I'm to blame for this matter, Sun Jian, for my improper recommendation, and I hope Yuan Gonghai will accept it."

Yuan Shu took a deep breath. Although he was furious at the moment, the incident had already happened. It was fine to lose his temper with Sun Jian. Could he really do anything to Sun Jian?

There is still a major event at the moment, and this Jiangdong tiger needs to be used as an outpost for him.

"Forget it, Danyang County will be managed by Tao for the time being. It will not be too late to open the door of Yangzhou in the future. Let's settle the matter in front of us first."

Sun Jian was also relieved when he heard Yuan Shu's tone eased.

"Wentai, Mr. Yuan has declared you to be General Polu and the governor of Yuzhou. You should go back and straighten out the affairs of the territory. Mr. Yuan still needs you to do a big job."

In Sun Jian's tiger eyes, the light suddenly flickered and then disappeared, and he said slowly: "What is Yuan Gong's so-called big event?"

Yuan Shuchang sighed, shook his head and said, "Gongsun Zan secretly sent someone to send a letter. He has already gone south and destroyed a part of Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and has entered the border of Jizhou. Hmph, that house slave of my Yuan family has something to do this time." .”

The house slave Yuan Shu was referring to was Yuan Shao whom he had always looked down upon.

Sun Jian didn't say a word.

Yuan Shu united with Gongsun Zan to respond to Yuan Shao from the north and the south. This is a long-established strategic policy. It is not surprising that the key things should come later.

Sure enough, Yuan Shu continued: "It's just that Yuan didn't expect that the slave had already made plans. Last month, Yu Du of the Black Mountain Army led troops to attack Puyang, and Yuan Shao took the opportunity to join forces. Bao Xin, the two played together Cao Cao succeeded Wang Gong of Dongjun as the prefect of Dongjun, and supported Cao Cao to settle in Dongjun together! This is interesting Cao Cao of Dongjun, Bao Xin of Jibei, and Zhang Miao of Chenliu , and my cousin Yuan Yi in Shanyang, the four of them joined together and put pressure on me in the south! Time is waiting, Yuan must hurry up to conquer more counties and counties, and increase the source of taxes and soldiers before he can go north with him. against it."

Sun Jian didn't speak when he heard the words.

Kong Ni of Yingchuan had already sided with Yuan Shu, and he had also helped him control Runan County some time ago.

Yuan Shu originally wanted to occupy Yangzhou, but he didn't expect that things went wrong. Danyang County, the gateway to Yangzhou, was occupied by pottery merchants.

Yuan Shu wants to open up territory now, he has only two choices, one is to go east to occupy the two big counties of Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, and the other is to go south to take Jingzhou.

According to Sun Jian's understanding of Yuan Shu's greed, he would not let go of any of the territories in the east and south directions.

Sure enough, I heard Yuan Shu continue.

"Shouchun, the governor of Jiujiang County, and Lu'an, the governor of Lujiang County, are not far from Runan. The name of my Yuan family in Runan also has a great influence in the two counties. If Yuan personally leads troops, It will not be very difficult to subdue the hearts of the gentry in the two counties. I will conquer the two counties myself. There is no problem. The newly appointed governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao, is quite inclined to join forces with my Yuan family slaves. , Wentai, you have to share my worries for me."

Sun Jian sneered inwardly, but there was a look of hesitation on his face.

"Sun is not afraid to go through fire and water for the sake of Yuan Gong, but Runan County has just been pacified. Although Peiguo belongs to Yuzhou in name, it is actually under Tao Qian's control, and he even designated it as Xuzhou Liuzhou without authorization. Sishui County, one of the prefectures, Liang Guo is also jointly controlled by Zhang Miao and Yuan Yi, especially the land of Yingchuan. Sun doesn't know whether to do it, or how to do it. Yuzhou is really troubled now. I'm afraid I can't get out of my background to share Yuan Gong's worries, alas, this matter is quite difficult."

Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yuan Shu and Sun Jian are both political veterans.

Yuan Shu knew that what Sun Jian meant was to take the opportunity to discuss conditions with him, but the key point of the conditions was the last sentence in his words just now.

Yingchuan County!

Since Sun Jian became the governor of Yuzhou, he naturally wanted to take control of the whole territory of Yuzhou. In the current situation, apart from Runan County, which was controlled by Sun Jian, Peiguo was in Tao Qianna and could not be attacked casually. The defenders were caught in the middle from all directions. Even if they attacked, they would be immediately beaten back by Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi, Cao Cao and others, which was of no practical significance.

So, what Sun Jian meant was to get rid of Kong Ni and assign Yingchuan to govern under his name.

Of course, maybe he also wanted to avenge the one-shot revenge he had for begging Dong Shi back then.

Yuan Shu began to weigh in his heart.

Right now, he and Yuan Shaoming are fighting fiercely, but Yuan Shao's current momentum is obviously stronger than his own!

Moreover, this slave has many allies: no matter how capable Liu Biao was when he first took office, Yuan Shao's four younger brothers, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi, and Bao Xin, in Yanzhou alone, are enough for Yuan Shu to drink a pot.

In this chaotic season, the importance of Sun Jian is highlighted. He can fight!

Whether it's killing Liu Biao or beating up Yuan Shao's four younger brothers in Yanzhou, Kong Ni must not be counted on.

Subordinates who cannot be counted on by the leader generally end up being sacrificed.

After weighing for a while

"Okay, you are the governor of Yuzhou, so you can do whatever you want." Yuan Shu said lightly, and agreed to Sun Jian's request from the side: "Hurry up and deal with the affairs of Yuzhou, and then go south to Jingzhou! Yuan doesn't expect you I can destroy Liu Biao, but at least I must take Jiangxia Commandery!"

There are seven counties in Jingzhou, of which Nanyang County with the largest population is in the hands of Yuan Shu.

Among the remaining six counties in Jingzhou, Jiangxia County is also the top priority for Yuan Shu.

To the east of Jiangxia County, Lujiang County is connected to the land, to Runan County to the northwest, and to Nanyang County to the northeast.

If Sun Jian can take over Jiangxia County, and Yuan Shu can take over Lujiang and Jiujiang counties, then all the counties and counties under Yuan Shu's current control can be completely surrounded and become a big country on its own.

The current prefect of Jiangxia County is Huang Zu, after the filial minister Huang Xiang in the famous "24 Filial Piety" in history.

Such a person, in Sun Jian's eyes, is completely like a pediatrician, and it can be said that he is easy to catch.

After hearing Yuan Shu's arrangement, Sun Jian had a rare smile on his lips.

My Sun Jian's day of prosperity is finally coming.

Chapter 189 The First City in the World

When Sun Jian returned to his camp, the first people who came to him were not his generals, but his son Sun Ce.

The reason why Sun Ce came to Sun Jian is actually very simple.

"Father, I heard that uncle was injured?" Sun Ce asked Sun Jian about the situation of his uncle Wu Jing as soon as they met.

When Sun Jian heard Wu Jing's name, he felt a little headache. If this unworthy brother-in-law hadn't been lying there and couldn't wake up, Sun would have to break his legs.

Jiangdong Tiger nodded depressedly, and lamented: "Yes, your uncle is stupid."

"Ah?!" Sun Ce couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, his mouth was open enough to swallow two eggs: "Why are you so stupid all of a sudden because of what?"

Heavens be merciful, if Sun Ce knew the indirect reason for Wu Jing's stupidity, it was in himself. I don't know what kind of expression this little overlord will have on his face.

One drink and one peck has its own destiny, the one eye that Sun Ce stabbed Xu Rong blind, the retribution was on his uncle's head.

Sun Jian shook his head and sighed: "He did the crime himself, who is to blame? Let's not talk about this, clean up quickly, and then call Cheng Pu and Huang Gai and the others. We have to be busy for a while. !"

Hearing this, Sun Ce asked seriously, "What does father want to do?"
