Three Kingdoms: I choose to assist Sun Jian

"Do you know where this is?"

"An dare to be so presumptuous?"

"Know!"

"of course I know!"

Xu Tan heard this, squinted his eyes and said with a smile:

"The Chen residence!"

"I am General Xu Dan, Xuzhou Zhonglang. I am here to search the Chen family under the order of the elder son Tao Shang!"

"Anyone who stands in the way will be killed without mercy!"

With that said, he waved his hand and said:

"Catch me, don't leave a single one behind!"

With an order, a large number of soldiers behind him rushed into the Chen residence.

"How dare you fabricate such a big lie!"

Seeing this, the steward of the Chen residence shouted angrily:

"My master is trusted by the eldest son, how could the eldest son search my Chen family for no reason!"

"You mean old man Chen Gui?"

Xu Dan shook his head and smiled:

"I'm afraid you don't know, your master has already gone to see Hades!"

"Come here, tie up this little old man!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers rushed towards the housekeeper of the Chen residence and bound him.

The housekeeper was naturally shocked when he saw this, but before he could say anything, he was gagged.

It wasn't until he was pushed out of the mansion that he saw that the street was already full of soldiers and onlookers.

Not only the Chen Mansion, but the other courtyards of the Chen Mansion in the entire city were confiscated, and a large number of Chen's children were escorted out of the city.

Seeing this, the housekeeper of Chen's house suddenly turned ashamed.

What is the potter doing?

Want to completely exterminate the Chen family?

In January 193 AD, following the orders of the potters, the entire Xuzhou Chen family was arrested.

Although no one knows the specific reasons, they know that the potters are here for real.

In less than three days, hundreds of members of the entire Chen family were pushed outside the city and beheaded for public display, leaving no one behind.

At the end of the same month, Bai Liming led the army back, angrily reprimanded the pottery merchant for his dishonesty, and temporarily took him into custody, expressing that Mi Zhu was temporarily in charge of the governor of Donghai County.

At the same time, he went to the imperial court to speak about the vacancy of the governor of Xuzhou.

At the beginning of February of the same year, after stabilizing the overall situation in Xuzhou, Bai Liming personally led the army south to seek thieves.

After hearing this, Ruo Rong and Que Xuan withdrew their troops and fled because of fear.

As a result, he fled to Huai Ling, where he was led by Sun Ce to the rear, and was attacked back and forth, and he was defeated.

In this campaign, Sun Jian's army beheaded over ten thousand and captured tens of thousands.

So far, the overall situation in Xuzhou has just been completely stabilized.

And Xuzhou has also become the fourth big state under Sun Jianjun's command after Yangzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou.

This battle ended with the absolute victory of Sun Jian's army.

Sun Jian's army expanded its territory again, recruited [-] troops, and occupied the central plains and southern lands, establishing the trend of dominating the world.

And with the news that Sun Jianjun captured Xuzhou, the whole world was once again shocked.

Chapter 235 Yuan Shao, who doubts his life, is a walking cheater!

Jizhou, Yecheng.

Although the beginning of spring has passed, the land of Hebei is still frozen.

As the so-called cold spring, even if you are indoors, you need to install a lot of heaters to resist the cold outside.

At this time, in the state pastoral mansion, Yuan Shao and a group of civil and military officials were sitting in the mansion to discuss matters.

After discussing Dong, with the help of Xun Chen, Yuan Shao replaced Han Fu as the shepherd of Jizhou with his prestige, took control of the land of Jizhou, used Tian Feng as the farewell, and appointed him as the governor, and received Xu You, Feng Ji, and Xun Chen as the governor. strategist.

He also took Jushou as General Fenwei, responsible for guarding the generals.

In addition, there are the initial team Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Ju Yi, Chun Yuqiong, Gao Gan, Qianzhao, etc., and Zhang Ying, Gao Lan, Han Meng and others.

For a time, the civil and military team under his command was luxurious.

But at this time, all the people sitting in the mansion and listening to the discussion, felt their limbs go cold for a moment, and they were shocked.

Yuan Shao looked at Jushou with a look of disbelief and said:

"Sir, are you saying that Sun Jianjun has annexed Xuzhou?"

"Exactly!"

Ju Shou sat on the right side of Yuan Shao, cupped his hands and solemnly said:

"My lord, according to the letter sent by our military spies, Tao Qian was critically ill last December."

"In January this year, Bai Liming sent troops to Xuzhou. In the same month, Xuzhou Zang Ba, Cao Bao, pottery merchants and others all surrendered to this man."

"Until now, Sun Jianjun has completely established himself in Xuzhou."

"After recruiting more than 15 soldiers and horses from Xuzhou, plus the soldiers and horses brought by Bai Liming, the total force has exceeded [-]!"

"According to my estimate, after the annexation of Xuzhou, the total strength of Sun Jian's army has exceeded 55, with a population of more than 600 million."

"Two-fifths of the Dahan's land has basically fallen under the control of his subordinates."

As soon as Jushou said these words, everyone present couldn't help being shocked again.

A total force of 55?

600 million people?

Dominating the land of four states?

How many people do they have in Jizhou?

At its peak, it was only 700 million at most.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population has declined again, and now it is at most about 500 million.

The total number of soldiers and horses is only more than 20.

In other words, the size of the light wheel, Sun Jianjun has expanded to more than three times their size!

As for Yuan Shao, when he heard this, his face was tangled and puzzled.

If you want to talk about the start of the princes of the world, who can start better than him?

Not long after seeking Dong, he directly took control of Jizhou and overthrew Gongsun Zan.

He became the number one vassal in the world in a short time, and it was like a king bombing start.

As for after that, he used his own strength to fight against the alliance of the enemies Gongsun Zan and Tian Kai, and it can be said that he won consecutive victories.

Originally, he thought that his development trend was not bad.

As a result, I glanced to the south inadvertently now, good guy, only then did I realize that a huge monster-like existence had appeared in the south at some point!

Because Jizhou is far away, he didn't pay much attention to the south before.

When he heard that Sun Jianjun occupied Huainan, he dismissed it.

How many people does Huainan have?

How much land?

Brother is the existence that occupies a rich place like Jizhou.

Then I heard that Sun Jian's army unified Jiangdong, and then defeated Yuan Shu.

When he first heard it, Yuan Shao was quite happy.

Except for a few drops of tears shed hypocritically, I was so happy that I even wanted to give Sun Jian a big hug.

After all, Yuan Shu is his number one enemy in his heart.

Because the prestige of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family is here.

Cao Cao, that is his little brother.

And people like Gongsun Zan and Tian Kai are only from aristocratic families, so how can they compare with him?

Only Yuan Shu, even if there is only one Nanyang, if he uses the prestige and contacts of his Yuan family, he can gather countless lands and people within a few years.

So when Yuan Shu was overthrown by Sun Jian, his only thought was to be happy.

Feeling that this Sun | Wentai is awesome.

It was not in vain that he personally helped Sun Jian escape from Yuan Shu's hands and become an independent force.

But then things slowly went wrong.

First, Sun Jian continued to invade and occupy Yuzhou, and at the same time formed an alliance with Tao Qian.

Then he brazenly attacked Jingzhou and defeated Liu Biao.

Until this moment, Yuan Shao slowly felt threatened.

It seems that this little brother Sun Jian is not the master of peace!

But even so, he didn't take it too seriously.

Because Sun Jian came from a poor family and was congenitally deficient, even if he annexed Yangzhou and Jingzhou, he would probably have to digest it for a few years.

These few years are enough for him to pacify Hebei.

At that time, once he goes south to the Central Plains, then Sun Jian must not bow down to him?

As for the fact that Sun Jian invited Liu Xie to go south, he was even more dismissive.

Although Ju Shou once advised him to be vigilant about this matter, after he listened to Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong's persuasion, he felt that Sun Jian had hired a father for himself.

The world is in such chaos today, what is the use of a false emperor erected by Dong Zhuo?

On the contrary, after welcoming the emperor, they will be tied up.

If Liu Yu didn't agree, he could support a new emperor with his backhand!

Nothing else, his Yuan family is arrogant!

As a result, less than half a year after this kind of thinking arose, news came from the south that Sun Jian had annexed Xuzhou?

And it's not only an annexation, but also the full strength of a big state, without any war stalemate!

How embarrassing is this for him!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao was puzzled and said:

"Gonghe, don't just talk about Sun Jianjun's situation, but talk about how they merged!"

"Didn't Sun Jianjun form an alliance with Tao Qian?"

"Why did Bai Liming dare to send troops so easily?"

"Besides, Tao Qian, an old guy, has always been very scheming, so it's fine if he goes by himself, isn't he thinking about future generations?"

"Sun Jianjun annexed such a big Xuzhou?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at Ju Shou for a moment.

Even Tian Feng and the others had doubts on their faces.

Before Sun Jian's army was far away, he was stronger.

But once Xuzhou falls now, Sun Jian's army will only be one state away from them.
