Although the Eastern Han Dynasty had a very strict control over the clan, the clan was a clan after all, not to mention that King Chen was a prince, and he was more noble than the three dukes in terms of etiquette.

Seeing Zhu Jun respectfully in front of King Chen, Sun Ce smiled with relief, finally there was someone who could make this stubborn old man bow down, and the days of bitterness and grievance had finally passed.

After Zhu Jun finished the salute, he raised his body, and saw Sun Ce standing behind King Chen with a smile on his face, and he chuckled in his heart, only then did he feel that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but secretly regret it. King Chen and Sun Ce have a very close relationship, if I have any differences with Sun Ce, Sun Ce will definitely support Sun Ce. This is my reinforcement, this is Sun Ce's reinforcement.

This little vertical is not like Sun Jian at all, he is too cunning.

Zhu Jun wanted to grab Sun Ce and ask him to understand, but he couldn't get out. He also had to introduce the generals under his command to King Chen, and then introduce the situation in front of him. Chen Wang is gentle by nature and may not be interested in competing with him for command, but his status is noble, and the necessary etiquette is indispensable. Sun Ce may not care, Zhu Jun has been an official all his life, and as the head of the military attaché, he wants to set an example for the younger generations and teach them how to be a real minister, but he refuses to be talked about, and he refuses to have the slightest negligence.

Back in the camp, Zhu Jun set up a banquet for King Chen, and tentatively proposed to King Chen a plan for a decisive battle with Yuan Tan during the banquet, officially expressing his idea of wanting to base Junyi. After carefully inquiring about the situation of both sides, Chen Wang put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass, took a shallow sip of wine, and did not speak for a long time, as if he was tasting the aroma of wine. When Zhu Jun saw it, he secretly shouted that it was not good, and King Chen clearly did not approve of his plan. He turned his head to look at Sun Ce, Sun Ce shrugged his shoulders while raising his glass to Zhu Jun, pursed his mouth, and put on a very innocent expression. Zhu Jun was very angry, but it was not good to attack in front of King Chen.

It took a long time for King Chen to drink the wine, and he opened his mouth without hurrying.

"Zhu Gong, Junyi extends in all directions, if you can occupy this place, it can indeed play a role in defending Luoyang. However, Junyi belongs to Yanzhou after all, won't this cause criticism? ”

"Your Majesty, you are in a hurry. If Shandong Prefecture and County can support the imperial court, there is naturally no need for this. Now in the Shandong melee, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family were the pillars of the country, but they only cared about self-annexation, and refused to accept the imperial edict to enter the king of Qin. Mastering Junyi can not only connect Yuzhou, defend Luoyang, but also deter Shandong. ”

King Chen nodded and praised: "Old Master Zhu is a countryman, he is not afraid of people's words, and he is admirable. No wonder the rebellious general's father and son have such a high regard for you. ”

Zhu Jun looked at Sun Ce and said a few words modestly. "I also need to ask the king to help me."

"Gu can help you take Yu Poison and Ku Chief out of the city, or send some food in, but to repel Yuan Tan and defend Junyi, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." King Chen looked apologetic, as if it was his responsibility not to help Zhu Jun achieve his wish. "Zhu Gong, because Junyi is very important, even if he conquers it temporarily, I am afraid he will not be able to occupy it for a long time. The battle is expensive, not expensive for a long time, and when the time comes, the battle will be endless, do you still have the strength to work for the king? According to Lonely's humble opinion, it is still safe to follow Cheng Gao and Shou Aocang. ”

Zhu Jun glared at Sun Ce hatefully. "What the king said is naturally reasonable, but in this way, it will be difficult to implement the plan of Tuntian in Zhongmu and Kaifeng."

King Chen nodded and said, "It's really a pity. However, Luoyang is empty, and there are a lot of fertile fields abandoned within the eight passes, which should be enough for Tuntian in a short time. When the situation stabilizes, it is not too late to figure it out. He patted Zhu Jun's hand. Zhu Gong, Lone can understand your feelings, but there are some things that really can't be rushed. Zhu Gong has been on the battlefield for a long time, these things should be clearer than Gu, Gu is vain, there is something inappropriate, please forgive Zhu Gong. ”

Zhu Jun was helpless, so he had to give up his hand and said: "The king's good words have benefited you a lot. ”

——

At the end of the banquet, Zhu Jun sent King Chen out of the camp and returned to the big tent, the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and sighed.

"It's time to get on this little shaft."

Wen Yun and Wang Chang knew who he was talking about, and looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Wen Yun said: "Duke Zhu, since this is the case, it is okay if this Junyi is not occupied, save money and grain and go west to King Qin." If there is really a big battle, the loss of soldiers is inevitable, and the bereavement and reward are not small expenses. We may not have enough food to harvest. ”

Wang Chang also said: "What Zhongliu said is very true. Zhu Gong, with nearly 100,000 troops at present, if there is no shortage of money and food, King Qin is hopeful. Welcome back to the Son of Heaven, in the surrounding areas of Luoyang for several years, the soldiers are full of food, the situation is stable, and it is not too late to go east. ”

Zhu Jun sighed. "That's it, that's all it takes. Zhongliu, you go to Sun Ce. Junyi, I won't attack, and he can't play tricks on King Qin's affairs anymore. Otherwise, I will let him go back and summon Sun Jian. ”

Wen Yun couldn't help but laugh and bowed down to receive the order.

Zhu Jun was in a bad mood and urged Wenyun to go immediately. Wen Yun was helpless, so he had to rush to Sun Ce's camp overnight. After Sun Ce left the camp, he first sent King Chen to the camp to settle down, and then sent someone to send the sword and armor, asked King Chen and Yuan Min to receive it, talked for a while, returned to his camp, and was about to invite Guo Xi and Zhang Hong to discuss, Wen Yun rushed to convey Zhu Jun's meaning.

Sun Ce was very aggrieved and shook his head again and again. "Brother Zhongliu, it's hard to be a good person. If I had known that, I wouldn't have had this idea. When I asked him to give an order, let me collect money and grain from Lujiang and Jiujiang to raise military funds, but he refused. Now I want money and food, but I want more as much as possible. Brother Zhongliu, how difficult it is for our father and son in Yuzhou, you can't imagine it. We squeezed food out of our teeth to support him, but he complained to us, you say, what is this? ”

Wen Yun said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to worry too much, we can actually understand the general's difficulties." The lieutenant did not mean to embarrass the general, he was just worried about the situation in Shandong and wanted to seize this rare opportunity. Cao Bao has already contacted Tao Envoy Jun, if nothing else, Tao Envoy Jun will launch an attack on Taishan County and attract a part of Yuan Tan's troops, and we do have a chance to take Jun Yi. It's just that as Chen Wang said, being able to take it doesn't mean that you can take it, the consumption of this money and grain is too big to support. Speaking of which, if it weren't for King Chen, there would be no way to convince the Taiwei with just a few of us. ”

"If I can get Brother Zhongliu's words, I will admit that I have been wronged no matter how big." Sun Ce patted his chest, feeling like he had met a bosom friend. "Please Brother Zhongliu reply to Taiwei Zhu, as long as the imperial edict arrives, I am willing to be the forward of Taiwei and the king of Qin, and I have nothing to say."

Wen Yun looked at Sun Ce, trying to see a clue from his expression, but he was disappointed. Sun Ce's eyes were firm, and he didn't mean to be fake at all. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Sun Ce was really selfless, and everything was out of justice?

This young man really can't understand it.

Sun Ce ordered someone to fetch some new paper and give it to Wen Yun as a thank you gift, asking him to say a few kind words in front of Zhu Jun no matter what. The hand of the person is short, Wen Yun accepted the gift, and felt a little more sympathy for Sun Ce.

Rushing back to the Chinese army, Wen Yun repaid Sun Ce's promise to Zhu Jun, and Zhu Jun finally calmed down. The next day, he convened the generals again to discuss the operational arrangements for the march into Junyi, and asked Wulu to contact Yu Poison and Ku Chieftain to make them ready.
