When Yuan Shu said this, his eyes did not blink, staring at the heirloom jade seal in his hand, the morning sun shone on his side, looking at Sun Jian, just half of his face was bathed in the morning sun, and half of his face was hidden in the shadows, showing a very obvious yin and yang face.

Sun Jian didn't say anything interestingly, and when Yuan Shu looked over and over again, he put down the jade seal of the country and turned his head to look at it, and then said respectfully: "The subordinates only present the jade seal of the country at this moment, the lord forgives the sin, it is really a little selfishness of the subordinates, and now the lord should be in the sky, and the subordinates firmly believe that until today, they firmly believe that the lord is the owner of the jade seal of the country, so he ......."

"Good, good, good!" Yuan Shu said yes in a loud voice, his face was uncontrollable excited, and he nodded, "Wentai is really my blessed general, with your help, why don't I worry about big things." ”

"Thank you, Lord!"

Sun Jian's face was happy, he got up and came to Yuan Shu's case, bowed down on one knee, and under Yuan Shu's false support, he got up, returned to his original position and sat down, and asked: "The lord has now taken Yu and Yang Erzhou, Jingzhou Liu Biao, and Nanyang Zhangji, but he has repeatedly raised troops to provoke, and his subordinates are willing to take the lead of the lord and lead the army to conquer Nanyang Zhangji, and expand the territory for the lord." ”

Yuan Shu's rare face was slightly red, because he was originally entrenched in Nanyang, but Zhang Ji came from Wu Guandong a few years ago, and together with Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Nanyang was eaten away little by little, and soon after he left Nanyang and returned to Yuzhou, the entire Nanyang was occupied by Zhang Ji.

And Yangzhou, although Yangzhou Mu Chen Wen is his subordinate, but more than a year has passed, he can still only shrink in Jiujiang County Zhiyin Mausoleum City, not to mention Danyang is too guarded by Zhang Xun, Lujiang is too guarded by Lu Kang, Huiji is too guarded by Tang Mao, and Wujun is too guarded by Fan Jin. Yuzhang guards Chen Xiu too much, that is, Jiujiang guards Jing Xiu too much, and to Chen Wen, the Yangzhou pastor, he is also yang and yin, and he doesn't take it seriously.

If Yuan Shu hadn't been entrenched in Yuzhou, facing pressure from Yanzhou Liu Dai, Xuzhou Tao Qian, Nanyang Zhang Ji, Jingzhou Liu Biao and others from all directions, he would have wanted to send generals to raise troops and go to Yangzhou to forcibly subdue the counties too much.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Shu glanced at Sun Jian. I wanted to stop talking, and then I was silent for a while, and then I said slowly: "Wentai has this heart, and I am very comforted, but it is like today's turmoil." Yuzhou also has a lot of complicated affairs, and the conquest of Nanyang Zhang Ji and Jingzhou Liu Biao. The time has not yet come. Well, as for Wentai's official position, I will carefully consider it and make sure that Wentai is not disappointed. ”

Sun Jian was disappointed, but on his face, he didn't show it. His words today have a lot of praise for Yuan Shu that makes him insensible, they are all fakes that he has prepared for a long time, and now he wants him to show a grateful expression to Yuan Shu. He just couldn't do it.

If he was able to do it without revealing the disappointment in his heart, he was already quite forbearing.

As for Yuan Shu's so-called Yuzhou affairs, he has also heard about it, and he knows that this is indeed the most important event for Yuan Shu at present, but I don't know if Yuan Shu will change his attitude and reconsider this major event after he gets the jade seal of the country.

However, since Yuan Shu did not agree to Sun Jian's suggestion to send troops on the spot, Sun Jian had to endure it first and wait for the opportunity.

A few days later, a surprising news came, which immediately shook the world.

Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, after the merger of the state Mu Lu Bu supported the Hongnong King Liu Wei as the emperor, set himself up as the king of Shu, and announced to the world.

In the book to the people of the world, Liu Yan did not mention the accession of Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, to the throne, and still called him the king of Hongnong, which means very obviously, that is, he did not recognize Liu Bian's accession to the throne as the emperor, and raised himself to the same level as Liu Bian, making it clear that he wanted to compete with Liu Biao for the throne of the world.

He said this, in fact, he also has his reasons, because just over a year ago, the imperial court had a grand funeral for the Empress Dowager and King Hongnong, and now, although there is a letter from Cai Yong and Qiao Mao to the world, explaining the details of Lu Bu and the three dukes rescuing the Empress Dowager He and King Hongnong at that time, but I didn't see it with my own eyes, who knows if it's true or not.

In the document, Liu Yan spends a lot of space describing his orthodox bloodline, but it is true that Liu Yan is a direct descendant of Liu Yu, the former king of Lu Gong of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Yu, the king of Lu Gong, is the fifth son of Emperor Xiaojing, and it can be said that it is a great Han clan with strong roots.

With him setting this precedent, Yuan Shu immediately assembled the ministers, and even Sun Jian, who had been idle for a long time, was also listed, and there was only one thing to discuss, who should be the master.

At this time, although the jade seal of the country was in his hands, he still did not have the courage to brave the disapproval of the world and establish himself as the king, but could only seek to support a suitable Han clan in the states and counties under his jurisdiction.

Zuihou, he still decided to support Liu Cong, the king of filial piety of Peiguo, but did not support Liu Chong, the king of Chen Guo, the key to this is that Liu Chong, the king of Xiang, is decisive and shrewd, and Liu Cong, the king of filial piety, is indulged in wine and wealth, which is easier to manipulate.

Although Liu Chong, the king of Xiang, reigned longer than Liu Cong, the king of filial piety, and was also older than Liu Cong, the king of filial piety, although Liu Chong was over fifty years old, he was still very strong, not to mention good shooting, and there was a strong crossbow army under his command, which could fight well.

And Liu Cong, just by looking at it for the first time, he knew that even if he had ambitions, he already knew that all his ambitions had been eroded by the soak of wine and wealth for many years.

When the time comes, as soon as Liu Cong dies, his son Liu Yao is young, and after succeeding to the throne, he is not at the mercy of Yuan Shu.

So, before other states and counties reacted, Yuzhou Mu Yuan Shu, together with Yangzhou Mu Chen Wen, jointly supported Liu Cong, the filial piety king of Peiguo, as the main one, called the King of Huai, and announced to the world, he also learned from Liu Yan and called Liu Wei the king of Hongnong, and avoided talking about the death of the Empress Dowager He and the king of Hongnong, as well as the accession of Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, as the emperor.

On the third day after supporting Liu Cong, Yuan Shu finally summoned Sun Jian, and after a long talk, he went to the table of Liu Cong, the king of Huai, and Sun Jian as the captain of the cavalry, and led the army to conquer the Yangzhou counties who dared not respond to the support of the move.

It's just that what he gave to Sun Jian, in addition to Sun Jian's original subordinates, there are only 3,000 soldiers, so under Sun Jian's command, there are only 5,000 foot soldiers, and there are only two generals, Cheng Pu and Han Dang.

But in this way, Sun Jian was already satisfied, to be able to leave Yuzhou, leave Yuan Shu, he was very happy, at this time, he regretted it very much, when he was too shou in Changsha, in response to Yuan Shao's call, when he led the army to the north, he should not have put it into the account of Yuan Shu, who was the general at the time, for some military rations, so that for so many years, he fought everywhere, but he did not come well.

Sun Jian led the army from Peiguo County to the south, straight into Yangzhou Jiujiang County, his family was settled in Shouchun at this time.

On the first day of entering Jiujiang County, the army stayed in Dangtu County, asked the local guide and learned that the name of this place is Tu Mountain, according to legend, it is where the ancient Tu Mountain country is, when Yu ruled the water, the mountain was split into two, so that Huai Shui was diverted, and it became a flow from south to north, and it was also the place where Yu married Tu Nu and the princes of the conference.

At this point in the army, Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief and made up his mind that even if Yuan Shu repented and wanted to seize his military power again, he was ready to resist to the end and ignored it.

It's just that the soldiers were tired along the way, so Sun Jian had to order the army to rest here for a few days, and let people go to Yinling to ask for food.

Nominally, he is still a subordinate of Yuan Shu, and on his orders, he came to Yangzhou to clean up those disobedient state and county guards, so it is a matter of course to ask Yangzhou Mu Chen Wen for money and food.

It was nearly evening, the sun was setting, Sun Jian left Han Dang to guard the camp, and together with Cheng Pu, with his personal guards, rode up Tushan Mountain to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sunset.

Although the march was very fast along the way, Sun Jian on the situation in the world, but there was never a day without paying attention, after Yizhou Mu Liu Yan established himself as the king of Shu, the world shook, Yuzhou Mu Yuan Shu thought that he had rushed to the world before the state and county to react, and supported Liu Cong, the king of Peiguo filial piety, as the king of Huai, and then the news came one after another, and the reaction of other states and counties did not lose to him at all, and they also followed Liu Yan's example, established themselves as kings, or supported the Han clan as kings.

Among them, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai established himself as the king of Qi, and Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao originally wanted to support the great Sima Liu Yu, as a result, when Lu Bu led the army to break through Yecheng, the great Sima Liu Yu took the opportunity to escape from the city, and disappeared, in desperation, Yuan Shao supported Ganling (PS: Qinghe State) to offer the king Liu Zhong, known as the king of Ganling.

This is not all, Qingzhou Mu Kong Rong, together with Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, supported Liu Rong, the king of Lang Evil Shun, known as the Lang Evil King; Gongsun Zhan led the Youzhou herd and supported Liu Yi, the king of Hejian National Music, known as the king of Lecheng; Jingzhou Liu Biao was not willing to be a queen, and followed the example of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan and Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai and established himself as the king of Xiangyang.

In this way, the thirteen states in the world, in addition to Liangzhou, Sili, and Jiaozhou, the remaining ten states, respectively, stand on their own or support others, including Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, Liu Yan, the king of Shu in Yizhou, Liu Cong, the king of Huai in Yu and Yang, Liu Dai, the king of Qi in Yanzhou, Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling in Jizhou, Liu Rong, the evil king of Lang in Xu and Qingzhou, Liu Yi, the king of Lecheng in Youzhou, and Liu Biao, the king of Xiangyang in Jingzhou.

At this point, the world officially fell apart, and the eight kings stood side by side to dominate the world.

In this chaotic world, Sun Jian could only smile bitterly and shake his head, only feeling that these so-called Han clan relatives, except for the self-reliant Liu Yan, Liu Dai, and Liu Biao, who had real power, the rest of the people, including Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, were actually just a banner erected by the princes with real power in various places, and more was just an ornament.

The sunset was sinking in the west, reflecting the clouds gorgeously, Sun Jian stood on the top of Tushan Mountain, looking around at this great river and mountain, and his heart was full of emotion and sorrow.

It's just that if today's chaos has been revealed, the chaotic world situation is not something he can turn around by himself, at this moment, just as he thought when he learned that Lu Bu led the army to break through Ye County, entrenched in Jiangdong, retreat, then protect the territory and the people, advance, clear the Yunei, and support the Han Sheji.

"Lord, someone has come up to the mountain!"

While he was pondering, Sun Jian heard Cheng Pu shouting, with a little surprise in his voice, and when he looked up, he saw the corner of the mountain road hidden at the foot of the mountain.

Not far from the foot of the mountain, there is the big camp, people who come up the mountain are bound to pass through the protection around the camp first, Sun Jian thought it was a messenger sent by Han Dang to report, and he just muttered to himself in his heart at the moment: "Which clan is this self-established king?" Then he put the matter down.

After a short time, the people who came followed the crooked mountain path and drove to the mountain immediately, Cheng Pu only glanced at it from a distance, and shouted with great joy: "Look, the lord is here, it's the young master who is coming!" (To be continued......)
