Chapter 176? Sun Jian's complexion changed drastically
Let’s talk about Sun Jian.
After he took more than a hundred light cavalry out of the camp, he rode his horse to the south, first passing Taigu Pass, and then reaching outside Luyang City.
That morning.
Sun Jian rode his horse toward the city gate, which shocked the soldiers guarding the city. Where did the bandits come from?
But after seeing Sun Jian himself, the soldiers were delighted and bowed: "General Sun."
Sun Jian ignored these people and instead took his light cavalry into the city. However, after entering the city, there were many people, so he did not gallop and controlled the speed of the war horse.
Not long after, they came outside Yuan Shu's mansion.
Sun Jian first entered Yuan Shu's mansion and saw the chief clerk Li Shu walking out from inside.
"Why is General Sun back?" Li Shu showed surprise, but when he turned his mind, he understood and said calmly.
"Master Li." Sun Jian honestly bowed to Li Shuyi, and then asked, "Dare you ask the chief clerk, is Mr. Yuan here?"
"In the study." Li Shu nodded.
Then the two of them bowed each other, and Sun Jian walked over Li Shu and strode in.
In the study, Yuan Shu was looking at a picture of the erotic palace painted on a white cloth. The picture was vivid. Just as he was watching, he heard a series of footsteps, Yuan Shu quickly stuffed the picture of the erotic palace into his right sleeve.
Yuan Shu looked up and saw that it was Sun Jian, and he immediately understood.
"Duke Yuan." After Sun Jian entered the study, he bowed deeply to Yuan Shu.
"Why is Wentai back?" Yuan Shu looked surprised and asked with his head up.
Sun Jian had heard Cao Cao's analysis, but he didn't know that Yuan Shu was asking questions knowingly? But he couldn't say anything openly. He exhaled and said sincerely: "Just about to fight Dong Zhuo and Zhang Xiu to the death. But the army was short of food. Please send food and grass."
Yuan Shu showed a look of distress and shook his head and said, "Wentai. It's not that I don't give you food and fodder. It's because Nanyang County is broken and the population is not large. But you have to support 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers in front of you, which is already at the limit. I'm plundering everywhere, and I'll wait for a few more days."
What is the difference between Yuan Shu's face and those dark-hearted politicians? Once there is a dispute, it will be more than a few days? The battle ahead will not wait for anyone.
Sun Jian scolded Yuan Shu half to death in his heart, but said sincerely: "Duke Yuan, I have something to say, please listen to Mr. Yuan."
"Wentai said that." Yuan Shu looked at the stern look.
Sun Jian straightened his back, raised his head and said, "I, Sun Jian, is just a man from Jiangdong. The reason why I was desperate and rushed to Luoyang north. We fought fiercely, defeated Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, and seized the three passes, and fought with Dong Zhuo and Zhang Xiu in Luoyang. One was for the country and the country, and the other was for the private grudges of Yuan Gong's family. Now I and General Cao were in Luoyang, and the breakthrough of Luoyang is just around the corner. If I was defeated because of the food and fodder issue, wouldn't it be a pity? The world is so important, the honor and disgrace of Yuan's family are all on Yuan Gong. Please think about it twice."
After saying that, Sun Jian bowed and bowed, sincere and polite.
Although Yuan Shu was jealous, he was also a face-talking person. After hearing what Sun Jian said, he felt uneasy.
Not? Not to mention the emperor's affairs, even if there are many people killed by Dong Zhuo in the Yuan family. If Sun Jian's words were conveyed, his face would probably be lost.
"Please get up on the Wentank, please get up on the Wentank." Yuan Shu stood up in a hurry and hurriedly went to help Sun Jian, but forgot the erotic picture in his sleeve. While helping Sun Jian up, the erotic picture fell. Sun Jian saw it with sharp eyes. Of course, Yuan Shu also saw it, and suddenly the jade face flew.
Then he tried to calm down, bent down and picked up the erotic map, stuffed it back into his right sleeve, pretending to be very natural to go back to his seat, and asked Sun Jian to sit down.
"Wentai, my previous words were not a verdict. Food and grass are indeed a bit difficult. But I promise to gather some of the food within two days and send it to the north to supply the army with food and food first. Then I will piece together more food and grass." Yuan Shu said with a serious face.
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan." Sun Jian thanked him respectfully and courteously.
This matter was solved, and Yuan Shu had no position to insist. However, Yuan Shu couldn't help it and asked sarcastically: "Wentai, how does it feel to be the governor of Jingzhou, former general, and Wanhuhou?"
Sun Jian was stunned, feeling uneasy in his heart. He bowed and said, "I am the prefect of Changsha, the Marquis of Wucheng. Why did Duke Yuan say this?"
Yuan Shu was also stunned and suddenly became uneasy. He suddenly looked up and asked, "Liu Biao, the captain of the Northern Central Army, received the emperor's bloody edict. He was appointed Wentai as the former general, the governor of Jingzhou, and the marquis of Wu, and the marquis of thousands of households. Cao Mengde was appointed as the right general, the marquis of Qiaoxiang, and the marquis of three thousand households. Have you never seen him?"
Sun Jian was even more stunned when he heard this, and his uneasiness suddenly became stronger. Then he lost his complexion and shouted, "I'm trapped. My army is in danger."
"Mr. Yuan, please send food and grass as soon as possible. I will go back to Luoyang immediately, otherwise I may be defeated in the front."
After saying that, Sun Jian hurriedly saluted Yuan Shu, then strode out of the study door, called out the light cavalry, and despite the fatigue, he rode his horse to the north again.
He was so anxious.
Yuan Shu was also stunned, and after a little slow, he realized.
"I was killed. Liu Biao actually lied to me??!!! What a vicious plan. Isn't this guy a relative of the Han family or a Miao family? And he is well-known all over the world, and he actually helped Dong Zhuo do such things regardless of shame. Damn, damn."
Yuan Shu was also a little panicked. It was trouble now, and it was trouble now.
What if Sun Jian’s army was defeated in front of him?
It’s better not to burn the fire to Nanyang County.
"Come, come. Summon the generals in. I want to guard the city and guard it strictly." Yuan Shu hurriedly walked out of the study gate and shouted with a loud voice.
.............
Let’s talk about Sun Jian’s journey day and night, and he returned to Taiguguan again. At this moment, he had lost seven or eight kilograms, his hands and feet were weak, and his eyes were as black as pandas.
"Go to Guanzhong to have a rest. Let's set off tomorrow." After shaking to see Taigu Pass, Sun Jian took a breath and said to the left and right light cavalry.
"No." The light cavalry responded and their morale was cheered.
However, when Sun Jian came to the close of the door, he felt something was wrong. Because Huang Gai was riding his horse.
"Public retribution. Why are you here?" Sun Jian's hands and feet were chilling, his mind was dizzy, and he almost led the way down immediately.
Sun Jian had already thought of it.
This Jiangdong tiger went north to fight for the country and the country, such as Lu Bu, and defeated him.
He also dared to fight to the death with Zhang Xiu. Because he had shortage of food, he arrived in Luyang day and night, and then returned to Taigu Pass. Although he was exhausted, he could still hold on.
But now... this matter is really impactful.
"Lord, the last general is incompetent, and the camp is taken away by Zhang Xiu." Huang Gai was stunned when he saw Sun Jian, then felt ashamed, turned over and got off the horse and bowed to salute.
"Ah!!!" Sun Jian shouted and fell down from his horse.
"Master?!!!!" Huang Gai and the light cavalry present exclaimed in surprise, then stepped forward and picked up Sun Jian, pinched the people and stroked the back. After Sun Jian was a little relieved, Huang Gai carried Sun Jian into the bedroom in Guanling Mansion to settle down, and sent a doctor to diagnose.
In the bedroom, in front of the bed.
Sun Jian lay on the bed with a sick look on his face, his eyes closed, but his breathing was still smooth.
An old man in gray clothes was sitting on a stool to diagnose Sun Jian. Soon after, the old man stuffed Sun Jian's hand back into the bedding and stood up.
Cao Cao, Zhu Zhi, Huang Gai and others who were watching immediately rushed up to ask for information. However, the old man in gray shook his head at everyone and signaled everyone to come outside the room to speak.
"Mr. Chen, what's the situation?" Zhu Zhi asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, generals. General Sun is strong and has only been exhausted day and night. He is stimulated for another time and will get sick. I see that his pulse is peaceful. Just have a good sleep and have a full meal to recover." Mr. Chen smiled and bowed to everyone and said.
Everyone was relieved when they heard this, and then Cao Cao took out a golden cake from his sleeve, handed it to Mr. Chen, and sent him away.
"Send someone to garrison outside the room and order the soldiers in the pass to whisper and don't disturb General Sun." Cao Cao looked around at everyone and instructed.
"promise."
Everyone agreed and then dispersed together.
Not long after, Huang Gai personally held the sword and guarded Sun Jian's door, protecting it tightly.
They had suffered once without the pain of being the leader. Sun Jian finally came back. If something happened, they might as well wipe their necks.
The next morning, the sun was shining.
The soldiers in Taigu Pass were ordered not to make loud noises, and they also tiptoed when walking. However, the soldiers not only did not complain, but their morale increased a lot.
Everyone knew that Sun Jian was back.
The days of holding your breath without the Lord and General have passed, and now they have a lot of peace of mind.
The leader of the army is the fierce tiger in the east of Jiangdong. It is like Zhang Xiu. Whether Zhang Xiu is there or not is there, it is a big relationship.
Sun Jian slept until midnight before he woke up. After opening his eyes, Sun Jian stayed for a few minutes before he understood what was going on. He felt the intestines in his abdomen roaring constantly. When he turned around, he saw a personal soldier dozing in the room.
"Go and get me some wine and food." Sun Jian ordered.
"No." The dozing personal soldier suddenly shuddered, and showed a look of surprise. He responded with a loud bang and went on a hurry.
Soon, everyone knew that Sun Jian was awake and was having a meal.
Everyone, including Cao Cao, hoped to discuss it with Sun Jian. But they didn't care about this time. Sun Jian would definitely come out after dinner.
Cao Cao and others waited in the lobby of Guanling Mansion.
Sure enough, not long after, Sun Jian, whose complexion had recovered, entered the hall in a row and tiger-like manner.
"General Sun (Lord)." Everyone was still divided into two factions and stood up together to salute Sun Jian.
"Everyone, I'm worried." Sun Jian smiled happily, bowed his hands left and right, and then came to the main seat to sit down.
At this moment, Sun Jian could not see any discouragement at all, as if he was sure to win.
Everyone was relieved when they saw this.
