In May of the third year of the first peace, the city of Xiangyang was broken. Liu Biao fled to Jiangling with his group.

Sun Jian captured Xiangfan, reported Yuan Shu's previous favor, and quickly returned to Yangcheng, Yuzhou.

"General, you're back."

Sun Jian led a few guards to hurry up and hurried back to Yangcheng, only to see Huang Gai hurriedly leading people over.

Sun Jian frowned slightly: "What's wrong?" Are the Dong thieves in the north coming? ”

Huang Gai whispered: "No, the Dong thief did send someone...... But this is not important, the most important thing is that the Son of Heaven in Qingzhou sent an envoy. ”

Sun Jian was taken aback: "What? How long have they been here? ”

Huang Gai had a bitter face: "It's been three days, and we've been deducing that the general is infected with the wind and cold and can't see people......"

Sun Jian nodded again and again: "That's right, I'm suffering from a cold, you go and talk to the angel, just say that I'm in better health today, and I'll go over to see you later." ”

Crossing the border to lead troops is not a trivial matter. They will be demoted or dismissed.

Before, when Sun Jian was still the Taishou of Changsha, he once marched into the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang to pacify the traitors there. But after all, it was a counterinsurgency, and he was just crossing counties, so he was not held accountable.

But this time Sun Jian went directly to other states, and Qingzhou did not announce that Liu Biao was a thief. Even in the current situation, the imperial court should not be held responsible, but after all, it is a little weak-hearted.

Sun Jian deliberately scattered noodles wholesale, disheveled, and pretended to be healed from a serious illness: "I've seen an angel." ”

The messenger of the Son of Heaven was a rather handsome young man, and he said with a smile: "Pillar of the General Kingdom, now that you have recovered from a serious illness, you should not be so polite." ”

Sun Jian looked at the young man slightly, only to feel that he was a little cynical and a little displeased in his heart, but when he saw the eight-foot Son of Heaven Festival in the other party's hand, he didn't dare to lose his courtesy: "Ahem...... I don't know the name of the angel, cough, what's the matter? ”

The young man looked at Sun Jian with a smile: "The official surnamed Yang Mingxiu, on the order of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, came to deliver the holy decree to General Sun, General Sun, please accept the decree." ”

As soon as he heard that there was a holy decree, Sun Jian couldn't think much about it, and hurriedly said, "The minister accepts the decree." ”

Yang Xiu handed the Son of Heaven to his entourage and took out the holy decree. It turned out that Liu Xie promoted Sun Jian to a former general.

Sun Jian was originally a broken general, although his name was domineering, but after all, it was a miscellaneous name. Therefore, Sun Jian was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and said that he would definitely set foot on Dong Zhuo for the Son of Heaven.

Yang Xiu didn't stay long after giving the seal ribbon to Sun Jian, he was about to return to Linzi at that time, Sun Jian said goodbye all the way, and then returned to the camp.

Sun Jian put away the seal of the former general, and suddenly remembered Huang Gai's previous words, and put on his clothes and armor again: "Gongfu, did you just say that the Dong thief also sent someone?" ”

Han Dang said with a smile: "The former general doesn't know, they have been here for many days!" ”

Sun Jian sneered: "Hmph, what did the Dong thief send someone to do?" Want to surrender to me? ”

Chen Pu was the most steady, and stroked his beard and said, "The general might as well listen to the purpose of their coming this time." ”

Sun Jian nodded: "Then call the people from Dong Thief's side, I want to see what they have to say!" ”

The soldier took the order, and it wasn't long before a woman walked in. Although the woman had dark skin, she was beautiful and a beauty. It's just that she is extremely indifferent between her eyebrows, emotionless, and even a little world-weary.

Sun Jian didn't care so much, he just felt that the other party was a little familiar, and asked a little arrogantly, "Have I seen you somewhere?" ”

The woman was Guo Yan, and she said coldly: "The year before last, I led the army to aid Luoyang, but was defeated by General Sun, and was slashed by the general. ”

"Oh...... It turned out to be you. Sun Jian squinted and thought for a while, a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to be alive." ”

At the beginning, Sun Jian didn't have the slightest reservation, but he didn't expect the other party to be able to pick up a life.

"yes, it's better to be lucky." Guo Yan's tone had a hint of irrelevance, touched his chest, and said softly, "That knife really hurts." ”

Sun Jian didn't think so, if he didn't die, he didn't die, see you on the battlefield next time, it's a big deal to be ruthless, and said in an unhappy tone: "Then Dong Thief asked you to come to me, is there something wrong?" ”

Guo Yan said indifferently: "The Dong Gong faction is here, and I want to be close to you." ”

Sun Jian immediately raised his eyebrows angrily: "What did you say?" ”

Guo Yan didn't seem to see Sun Jian's expression, and said to himself: "Dong Gong has a granddaughter, whose name is white, and she just named Weiyang Jun this year. I heard that General Sun's youngest son and Weiyang Jun are the same age, so I can hope that the two families can marry Qin and Jin. ”

"Dong thief actually humiliated me like this!" Sun Jian was suddenly furious, his eyes widened, "Dong Zhuo is rebellious, sweeping the royal family, and now he doesn't punish his three clans, showing everyone in the sea, I won't be blind to death, do you want to make peace with him!" Go back, and if you dare to say more, you will be taught to die here first! ”

"Die and die, I'm the one who died once anyway." Guo Yan got up and smiled emotionlessly, "Since General Sun is unwilling, then I will go back to my life." ”

"Get out!"

Sun Jian thinks that Dong Zhuo is a thief who should be cut with a thousand knives, and now he actually wants to make peace with his dignified general, which is really a great humiliation! After Guo Yan left, the anger in his heart was still difficult to dissipate, and he said loudly, "Pass the order, the whole army will prepare, and attack Dagu Pass in five days!" I am bound to behead that Xu Rong under the knife, and then dedicate Dong Zhuo's head to the Son of Heaven! ”

After a while, a soldier entered the account and reported: "General Qiyu, someone outside the camp claims to be the messenger of the assassination of Bingzhou, and there is something important to discuss with the general!" ”

Sun Jian's eyes narrowed slightly: "The history of the assassination of the state?" Lu Fengxian? Invite him in! ”

Xuanyuan Pass.

Guo Yan was going to return to Chang'an, spending the night at Xuanyuan Pass on the way.

And Li Dao is stationed here, always on guard against Sun Jian, who is only a hundred miles away from here.

Hearing of Guo Yan's arrival, Li Dao personally went out to greet him.

Li Wei looked at Guo Yan with a complicated expression and sighed: "Yaduo......"

There was no emotion in Guo Yan's words: "Sun Wentai does not agree to make peace." ”

"Hmm." Li Dao didn't know how to answer, but nodded a little embarrassedly.

Li Dao and Sun Jian have been facing each other for so long, of course they know that Sun Jian will not agree to kiss, he hates Dong Zhuo to the bone, and Li Zhiran also wants to eat his flesh all the time!

And pro? Thinking too much.

Li Wei thought for a long time, scratched his head, and sighed heavily: "...... You shouldn't have come back, Dong Gong deliberately let you go, why don't you leave. ”

Guo Yan lowered his head, and a trace of inexplicable emotion appeared in his indifferent and empty eyes, but this look disappeared in a flash, and when he looked up again, it was still empty.

Guo Yan walked forward by himself and said softly: "I am Dong Gong's subordinate, what Qingzhou are you going to?" ”

"I didn't say I had to go to Qingzhou......" Li Wei muttered quietly.
