”Now that Dong Zhuo has brought calamity to the imperial court, he has deposed the Young Emperor, poisoned the empress dowager, and slaughtered the ministers. Now that the Three Great Clans have been summoned, we call upon all the prefecture s to attack Dong Zhuo and restore our big sized man. What do you think? ”

”As a great man, he was born to rule the country, how could he die in bed when he was wrapped in horse hide? Now that the Three Lords have ordered the whole world to suppress Dong Zhuo, it is the perfect time for us to accomplish anything, how can we miss it? We are willing to follow the Lord Taishang and go through fire and water, and not refuse at all! ”

Cheng Pu stood up first and said passionately. They had all fought alongside Dong Zhuo and stood shoulder to shoulder, fighting against the rebellion of the West Cold. Not only did they understand Dong Zhuo very well, they did not have any good impressions of him.

Sun Jian nodded, and the blood in his body started to boil. As a soldier, Sun Jian had been rampant on the battlefield for the past few years. Especially towards Dong Zhuo, he kept it in his heart, and wished that he could kill Dong Zhuo to resolve his hatred.

”I already knew that this Dong Zhuo wasn't a good person. Back then, when I followed Lord Grand Commandant Zhang Wen to repel Xi Yan, Zhang Wen used the Emperor's edict to recruit Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo delayed for a long time before finally coming to see Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen reprimanded Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo was not one to be submissive to his words. ”

”At that time, I went up and whispered into Zhang Wen's ear: Dong Zhuo is not afraid of being punished, but instead arrogant and unbridled. But Zhang Wen replied: Dong Zhuo has always had a reputation between the Yellow River and Longshan Mountains. If I kill him today, I will have no one to rely on in the western expedition. ”

”I said: The General has personally lead the imperial army, his might shakes the world, why should we rely on Dong Zhuo! I have observed Dong Zhuo's behavior and speech, and have not respected you, despised you, and acted impolitely towards you, so I am the first sin; Lian Zhang and Han Sui have rebelled for more than a year, and should be exiled immediately, but Dong Zhuo said that it is impossible. It is the second sin to shake the hearts of the troops, and Dong Zhuo accepted the assignment, and returned without success, and his officer was recruited late, moreover his attitude and arrogance, are the third sin. The famous generals of ancient times were ordered to lead the army and march on the battlefield. If the General wants to rope Dong Zhuo in and not kill him immediately, then the mistake of harming the dignity of the General and the laws of the military is on you. ”

”But Zhang Wen still can't bear to do it, so he said to me: Go back first, after a while, Dong Zhuo will suspect something. I had no choice but to take my leave. From the looks of it, Dong Zhuo had never been a rude person who did not know how to respect others. If Zhang Wen had listened to me, how could he be as flustered as he is today? This time, we must definitely kill Dong Zhuo, and get rid of this nation! ”

When it came to Dong Zhuo, his stomach was filled with anger, and he couldn't wait to eat the flesh and sleep on the skin. Just as Sun Jian was talking passionately, a herald suddenly ran over and handed him a letter. Report... Lord Taishang, Lord Jingzhou Stinger King Rui has sent someone to deliver an urgent letter. ”

Sun Jian slightly frowned, obviously slightly unhappy. Ever since he came to Changsha to become the taiwai, he had been somewhat dissatisfied with this Lord Thorn. It was just that since he was his superior, Sun Jian had to be more respectful. He opened the letter and hurriedly read it.

It turned out that Jingzhou Stinger King Rui had also received Qiao Mao's Three Elders' report. Not only did he actively support them, he even wanted to gather all the troops in Jing Province and prepare to go north to suppress Dong Zhuo. His letter was ordering Sun Jian to hand over the army, and let him lead.

The reason why Sun Jian didn't like Wang Rui was because during the time of the rebellion between Lingling and Guiyang, Wang Rui had relied on his status as the Acanthopanax of Jingzhou to look down on them, the taiwai, to gather the military power of the various counties. He wanted to organize and direct the battle between Lingling and Guiyang's Barbarian.

Although a majority of the Countryside s were willing to hand over their troops and let Wang Rui command them, the Changsha taiwai Sun Jian and the Wu Ling taiwai Cao Yin were unwilling. They led their troops to participate in the battle. After all, in the Han Dynasty, the military and civil power of the County were under the jurisdiction of the taiwai. If Wang Rui wanted to use his skills, he had to first subdue all the taiwai s in the various counties with his personal charm before he could gather all of Jing Province's power.

But this time, Wang Rui wanted to gather all the troops in Jing Prefecture again, this was unacceptable to Sun Jian. However, he could not disobey Wang Rui's orders. After all, with his strength of a county, not to mention the fact that he was weak, he wouldn't even be able to bear the food supply.

”You guys go back and prepare. We'll set off tomorrow.” Sun Jian kept the letter and did not tell anyone about the contents of the letter. With his narrow-mindedness, he couldn't tell the Generals clearly. Otherwise, he would definitely let everyone go in a different direction.

Because Sun Jian had just participated in the Barbarian's rebellion to pacify Linglong and Guiyang, the more than three thousand soldiers recruited by the taiwai Palace had not been disbanded yet, so on the second day of Sun Jian's receipt of the three official orders from Qiao Mao, Sun Jian led his team and set off.

In a few days, Sun Jian led his men to the Xiangyang and stationed them at the entrance of Xiangyang. Outside Xiangyang City, soldiers from other counties were arriving one after another. Just as Sun Jian had expected, most of the Countryside s did not come and only sent their troops. Only the Changsha taiwai and the Wu Ling taiwai brought their troops here.

Wang Rui did not come forth to welcome Sun Jian. Instead, he had sent a field officer to arrange a place for the army, and his attitude was very cold. Sun Jian immediately realized that Wang Rui would definitely dislike him and Cao Yin. He wanted to leave in a fit of anger, but he didn't have any food.

In order to ensure the availability of food and to ease the relationship between him and the Jingzhou Stinger King Rui, Sun Jian decided to pay Wang Rui a visit personally. Not long ago, the Jingzhou Stinger King Rui and the Wu Ling taiwai s, Cao Yin, had even pacified the rebellion of the Barbarian s that had fought together with him in Lingling and Guiyang, so it could be considered as a comrade that they had fought together.
