One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 69 followed
When Qin Yi and Sun Ce arrived at the lobby, Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao had already been waiting for a long time.

It was only after the meeting that they learned that Yuan Shu's confidant General Ji Ling was coming to Xingyang, and Sun Jian led the people out of the city to meet Ji Ling.

Everyone set off immediately and waited for Ji Ling five miles out of the city.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, Ji Ling and his team appeared in the sight of Sun Jian, Qin Yi and the others.

Sun Jian dismounted immediately and met Ji Ling on foot.Qin Yi and others also got off their horses and followed closely behind Sun Jian.

Ji Ling galloped until he was 40 meters away from Sun Jiansan before reining in his horse. The army behind him also stopped.

Turning over and dismounting, Ji Ling walked towards Sun Jian and others. When he was still more than ten meters away, he clasped his fists and saluted with a smile on his face: "Brother Wentai, congratulations on defeating Xingyang in one battle!"

Qin Yi looked at Ji Ling and found that his smile was extremely fake. Although his face was full of smiles, there was jealousy in his eyes that couldn't be concealed.

"Brother Fu Yi won the award, and Jian suffered a lot of losses, so he got it by luck." Sun Jian said back to Ji Ling.

When the two met, the smile on Ji Ling's face disappeared, and he said seriously: "Yes, Wentai conquered Xingyang with a single army. This battle must be extremely difficult. My lord is also worried that Brother Wentai will suffer too much damage and lose his strength. Fearing that Xingyang would be taken back by Dong Zhuo's army, he sent someone to lead his troops to Xingyang immediately to help brother Wentai defend the city."

Hearing this, Sun Ce and Qin Yi, who were at the rear, looked at each other in unison, and there was a look of contempt in their eyes.

"Hmph, it's clearly here to grab credit." Sun Ce muttered in a low voice.

Qin Yi patted Sun Ce's shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't tell me if you see through, or you will lose face."

Ahead, Sun Jian nodded: "If you can get help from Yiyi Brother Fu, Jian will have no worries!"

"Brother Wentai, my lord has one more thing to tell you." Ji Ling said again.

"I don't know what advice General Yuan has?"

"My lord said, Brother Wentai has worked so hard for two consecutive battles. Now that Xingyang is overwhelmed, let Brother Wentai rest in the city and don't go to the battlefield again regardless of hard work. When the lord arrives, I will wait for you again." Follow the lord's army to Hulao Pass, attack Luoyang in one go, and kill Dong Zhuo!"

Ji Ling put on a face of being extremely concerned about Sun Jian, and said earnestly.

Sun Jian smiled slightly: "General Yuan is very grateful for his love and care for XX. Since Brother Fu Yi has come to Xingyang, then XX and Brother Fu Yi will stick to the city and wait for General Yuan to arrive before obeying orders."

"Hahaha, it's so good, so good!" Ji Ling laughed loudly, "Brother Wentai, although you and I are in our prime, our bodies are not made of iron. When it's time to rest, we should rest. The matter of defending the city, Let’s leave it to my younger brother for the time being. Brother Wentai and all the brothers under his command should rest for a few more days so that they can gather enough strength to follow the lord into the Hulao Pass.”

"So, the defense of Xingyang City will be entrusted to Brother Fu Yi." Sun Jian readily agreed.

Not far behind, Sun Ce spat out, glared angrily, and said in a low voice, "It's really not a thing, it kicked my father away before entering the city."

"Bo Fu, there is no need to be angry. The great achievement of conquering Xingyang is ours. Ji Ling and Yuan Shu can take some of the credit at most. If they are willing to defend the city, let them do so. Your father is not an easy person and will not let Yuan Shu and Ji It's at the mercy of the spirit." Qin Yi whispered to Sun Ce.

At this time, he also extremely despised Yuan Shu's actions in his heart.The appearance of eating is too ugly, even the spilled soup and water have to be licked off, it can't be on the table at all!Compared with Sun Jian, Yuan Shu is like a cloud and mud!
Sun Jian and Ji Ling chatted for a while, then everyone mounted their horses and returned to Xingyang City together.

Ji Ling brought 7000 troops this time. After entering the city, he immediately handed over the defense to Sun Jian.Sun Jian was also extremely dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's approach, but he didn't show it at all, and happily handed over to Ji Ling.

…………

The first day, Ji Ling came to Xingyang.Another day later, Yuan Shu came over with his army.

In the lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion, Yuan Shu sat on the main seat in a military robe.Under the hall, on the left side sat Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Sun Ce, Qin Yi and several other officers in Sun Jian's army; on the right side sat Ji Ling and officers from Yuan Shu's headquarters.

Qin Yi sneaked a peek at Yuan Shu, feeling awkward no matter how he looked at it.When he saw Yuan Shu for the first time, Yuan Shu looked like he was neither male nor female, but now he was sitting upright in a military robe... Qin Yi thought of this idiom.

"A few days ago, Wentai just arrived in Xingyang to launch a surprise attack at night. In the first battle, Xingyang City was destroyed and Huaxiong was driven back to Hulao Pass." Yuan Shu spoke with a very serious expression, "In this battle, Wentai's troops worked hard. After killing the enemy, there will be the full cooperation of the soldiers of all the ministries, and all the soldiers of Luyang will have made great contributions to the country."

Hearing this, the officials in Yuan Shu's headquarters were all overjoyed; the generals in Sun Jian's department seemed to have eaten flies.Are you talking nonsense, and there will be full cooperation from all the soldiers in the future?What you call cooperation is eating, drinking and watching theater in Luyang, right?
Yuan Shu ignored the expressions of dissatisfaction shown by the generals under Sun Jian, and continued: "Xingyang has been overcome, and our army is only short of the last line of defense at Hulao Pass from Luoyang. The day of success is near. Ladies and gentlemen, a certain order , The whole army is preparing for military affairs, and the troops will be dispatched to Hulao Pass in three days. After the national traitor Dong Zhuo is punished, a certain person will play all your achievements to the emperor. At that time, you will be entrusted to the Marquis just around the corner!"

"No!" Yuan Shu's generals responded in unison.

The generals on Sun Jian's side were all in a daze.This is the end?You have given credit for our attack on Xingyang in just one word!

Qin Yi was also very dissatisfied with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu went too far. This was due to his deliberate suppression of Sun Jianjun.Dude, I'm still waiting to be promoted again and receive rewards.Now it's all right, I was pointed to Luoyang by you, old goblin Yuan.

Seeing that the generals on Sun Jian's side didn't respond, Yuan Shu immediately turned his head and looked over, his eyes flickering coldly.

"Sun Jian takes orders!" Sun Jian was the first to react, and solemnly clasped his fist at Yuan Shu.

The other generals also came to their senses, and clasped their fists at Yuan Shu at the same time: "This subordinate takes orders."

Although they claimed to take orders, their voices were weak and lazy.

Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly: "Why, Wentai, but the army is short of food? Why do your subordinates seem to be hungry?"

Just as Sun Jian was about to speak, at this moment, a soldier of Yuan Shu walked into the lobby.

"Report—my lord, to discuss the allied forces of the Dong princes, Yuan Mengzhu and Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang, with a combined force of [-], rushed to Xingyang. At this time, it is still [-] miles away from the east gate of Xingyang."

When Yuan Shu heard this, he couldn't care less about arguing with Sun Jian. He slapped the short table in front of him angrily, and said angrily, "That bastard Yuan Benchu, did you intend to take credit from a certain family?"

Qin Yi was delighted: Hehe, Yuan Shao actually came to catch up with this enthusiasm, he is not a fool.Now there is a good show to watch.Yuan Shu, take a good look at it. You took the first grade of junior high school, and your brother immediately took the second grade of junior high school. You two brothers are really... By the way, are they raised by the same mother?
