Chapter 165 Sun Jian Borrows Food

In 190 A.D., Yuan Shao launched an army from Bohai Sea, in the name of crusade against Dong Zhuo, and invited heroes from all sides along the way to form an alliance in Chenliu.

Cao Cao, who had just assembled some courageous troops from the countryside, Yuan Shu who was entrenched in Luyang, and Sun Jian who was in Changsha were all ready to lead the troops to Chenliu in response, thinking that after defeating Dong Zhuo, each of them would be able to obtain higher titles and official positions, and occupy More city sites!

"Sun Jian killed Wang Rui? A good kill, a good kill!" Wancheng, in the prefect's mansion, facing the civil and military team he had just formed under his command, after learning the news of Jingzhou Governor Wang Rui's murder, Zhou You suddenly laughed.

Yan Xiang, who was the first on the left, also smiled and said: "Congratulations, my lord, the Jingxiang Nine Counties are already in my lord's pocket."

"Heh... Sun Jian did me a favor! However, this guy doesn't seem to be easy to deal with!" Zhou You continued.

"My lord, Sun Jian is indeed brave, but after all, he is just a reckless man," Yan Xiang said with a smile: "Since he wants to lead the army to attack Dong Zhuo, it means that he will hand over Jingxiang to the lord to take it! That's great! My lord must not miss this opportunity, I would like to go to Xiangyang for my lord."

Zhou You nodded and smiled: "Okay, then I will trouble the master. However, there is no need to rush this matter. After Sun Jian and Yuan Shu have both left, it will not be too late for us to take Jingxiang! Speaking of which, Yuan Shu took the opportunity to seize it last time." Lu Yang, Jing Hui, you are not reconciled, are you?"

"My lord, don't worry, the Lord will take back Luyang at the end," said Hu Jinghui, who stood at the top among the generals on the right.

"Okay, as long as we wait and work together, not only Jingxiang, but also Xichuan and Hanzhong will be in our pocket sooner or later," Zhou You said suddenly, standing up, which also cheered up the spirits of all the civil and military personnel who responded in unison.Since they have followed Zhou You, they naturally hope that Zhou You can achieve greater achievements, so that they can rise with the tide!

But what Zhou You didn't expect was that Sun Jian led the army to the north and had not joined Yuan Shu, but came to Wancheng first.Zhou You was a little surprised when he got the news, he thought he was going to attack Wancheng!This Sun Jian, so fierce?Just killed the governor of Jingzhou, are you going to deal with him, the prefect of Nanyang?

As a result, when Zhou You came to the city, he realized that Sun Jian was not here to deal with Wancheng, but to borrow some food and grass from him, the prefect of Nanyang, and invited him to attack Dong Zhuo together.

"General Sun, to be honest, I haven't been the Nanyang prefect for long, and the prefect's family has no food left! I can't do anything! Originally, I was also going to attack the national traitor Dong Zhuo, but I don't have enough food. If General Sun can Give some support, and I would also like to go north with you to help the Huimeng to discuss Dong!" Zhou You said loudly from the top of the city.

Sun Jian, who led the troops from the city, frowned upon hearing Zhou You's words, while Sun Ce beside him couldn't help but said, "Father, how can Zhou You occupy the affluent Nanyang without money and food? I think he is clearly an excuse! It would be a disaster to keep him!"

"What do you think we should do? Can we still rush into the city to grab food? Don't say that it is difficult for us to capture Wancheng easily. Even if we can, why should we attack Wancheng? After all, Zhou You is the prefect of Nanyang appointed by the imperial court," Sun Jian asked back.

"What was conferred by the imperial court? I think it was clearly granted by Dong Zhuo. Moreover, he has no intention of attacking Dong Zhuo at all," Sun Ce continued, "Why don't you invite him out of the city to get together and try to kill him. When the time comes The dragons in the city have no leader, and my father took Wancheng in one fell swoop, so are you afraid that there will be no food?"

"This..." After Sun Jian hesitated a little, he yelled at Zhou You directly, claiming that he wanted to invite him out of the city to discuss the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and hoped that Zhou You would give him face and go out to the city for a banquet.

"Haha..." Zhou You laughed when he heard this: "General Sun, there is no good banquet, right? Su Wen general Sun dared to kill even the governor of Jingzhou, let alone me, Zhou You! If you take the opportunity to kill me , and then go to my Wancheng to plunder, where can I go to reason?"

Sun Jian was stunned when he heard the words, and Sun Ce who was at the side also gritted his teeth secretly: "This guy, obviously he started out as a bandit, yet he actually said that we are bandits!"

"Forget it, let's hurry to Luyang and join Yuan Highway as soon as possible!" Sun Jian said with a helpless frown, turning his horse's head and leaving first, and then Sun Ce, Huang Zhong, Zu Mao and other Sun Jian's generals also followed suit. The soldiers hurriedly followed up.

On the top of the city, watching Sun Jian and his son lead the troops away, Hu Jinghui on the side couldn't help but said to Zhou You: "My lord, are we really not going to Chenliu to meet the alliance?"

"Is it necessary for us to join in the fun? Yizhou Liu Yan is a royal family! Has he gone?" Zhou You asked back, and then said: "Even if Dong Zhuo is defeated, what good will it do for us? The whole of Jingxiang is the real benefit, the basic capital for us to win the world in the future. Besides, I am still waiting for Dong Zhuo to appoint me as the governor of Jingzhou, so that I can control Jingxiang in a legitimate way!"

"I'm afraid this is not easy, right?" Hu Jinghui continued, while Zhou You said noncommittally: "When Dong Zhuo really feels the pressure, needs external force, and wants to help, nothing is impossible. He thinks If he wants to win me over without giving any real benefits, can I help him?"

Hu Jinghui nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Then if Dong Zhuo is really willing to make the lord the governor of Jingzhou by the order of the emperor, will the lord send troops to help him?"

"What do you think?" Zhou You asked with a smile, while Hu Jinghui shook his head and smiled helplessly: "My lord's thoughts, I really can't figure it out. By the way, my lord thinks that Master Yan can persuade the nobles of Jingxiang to support my lord's entry." Master Jing Xiang?"

"That depends on whether these guys know what's interesting or not," Zhou You said with a noncommittal smile, "Also, it also depends on whether Dong Zhuo will choose me to be the governor of Jingzhou or Liu Biao."

"What if Liu Biao came?" Hu Jinghui asked curiously, while Zhou You laughed: "If you come, then you don't have to go back. Jing Xiang, a frail person, how can he hold on to this piece of fat? It would be better to stay here as a guest and be his celebrity with peace of mind. People like him are actually the most suitable for learning. If you want to be the lord of Jingxiang, wouldn’t you be roasted on the fire? ?”

Soon after, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian responded to Yuan Shao and sent troops to Chenliu Huimeng, and Hu Jinghui also led the troops north to Luyang under Zhou You's order, and took down this important town in the northeast of Nanyang.

Although Yuan Shu left [-] to [-] troops to defend the city, but he led the main force to the north, how could the troops left behind be able to stop Hu Jinghui?Hu Jinghui, who personally led the attacking team, was stunned to attack Luyang directly with his bravery and the desperate efforts of the soldiers.

In this battle, Hu Jinghui killed thousands of enemies and captured tens of thousands of Yuan Shu's troops, while his own casualties were no more than a thousand.

So far, apart from Caiyang and a few counties in the south and northwest, most of Nanyang's territory has fallen into the hands of Zhou You.Relying on Nanyang's money, food and population, Zhou You also assembled [-] soldiers and horses.

Of course, these [-] soldiers and horses still have some new recruits. If they want to become real elite soldiers, they still need to go through more battles to polish them!

After Zhou You reorganized the army, he personally commanded [-] troops to force Deng County and put pressure on the Jingxiang gentry. At the same time, the imperial edict finally arrived.Dong Zhuo was very generous. He not only issued an imperial edict to make him the governor of Jingzhou, but also married Lingdi's only daughter, Princess Wannian, to him.

Outside Caiyang City, in Zhou Jun's camp, after receiving the news from Wancheng, Zhou You couldn't help asking Yan Xiang, who had just returned from Xiangyang, and Hu Jinghui and other trusted generals: "You say, Dong Zhuo What does it mean?"
