C388 (1/2)

Nanyang County was the northernmost county in Jing Prefecture, and also the biggest county in the world for the big man. With his back against the Luoyang, his location was extremely important. Nanyang County was also one of the Countryside who responded to the three orders. Although he restricted Yuan Shu from recruiting previously, the latter stage gave him a lot of support.

The news of Sun Jian killing the Jingzhou Stinger King Rui quickly spread throughout the world, and Zhang Zi naturally knew of Sun Jian's heroic deeds. So when Sun Jian led his army to Nanyang County, Zhang Zi learnt Wang Rui's lesson and adopted a strategy of not paying attention to anything, neither seeing Sun Jian nor offering him food.

Jing Prefecture cut off their supply, and the Nanyang did not support them. Sun Jian's thirty thousand strong army immediately fell into a food crisis. Seeing that the food was running out and the soldiers were running away, Sun Jian became anxious like ants on a hot pan.

Maybe it was because he was in a rush, Sun Jian pretended to be sick and did not get up from his bed. He pretended to look for the Witch Doctor to pray for him and even sent people to Nanyang City to ask for an audience with Zhang Zi. He said that Sun Jian was sick and wanted to entrust the whole team to Zhang Zi.

No one would have thought that Zhang Zi was actually so retarded, that he would even believe Sun Jian's lies. When he thought about how Sun Jian's soldiers were all from Jing Prefecture and how strong they were even in his hands, he became extremely excited and personally rode five to six hundred men to meet Sun Jian.

Who knew that the moment he walked into Sun Jian's tent, Sun Jian would jump out of the bed and not only scold him, he had even killed him on the spot with one slash. It was a pity that Zhang Zi had lost his head even before his men managed to get their hands on him.

However, what Sun Jian did not expect was that the officials of Nanyang and Jing Prefecture hated Sun Jian too. Not only did they immediately close the gates, they even sent people to inform Yuan Shu who was in the middle of recruiting troops, indicating that they were willing to rely on Yuan Shu.

Furthermore, when they were destroying the xanthopanax, Sun Jian had followed Zhu Jun and attacked the latter. However, not only did he not attack, he had also suffered a huge loss under the Nanyang City. As a result, he knew that the Nanyang City was a high wall, and it would be difficult for him to defeat it with just the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.

Just as Sun Jian was hesitating about whether he should attack the city or not, Yuan Shu's herald came to Sun Jian's camp and told him tyrannically that the Nanyang City had already belonged to the general and ordered him not to have any more ideas about attacking the Nanyang City.

The pitiful Sun Jian had gone all out with his calculations, but ended up getting married for Yuan Shu. Towards the mighty Yuan Shu, he did not dare to have the slightest complaint. The only reason he could kill Wang Rui and Zhang Zi without a care was because they did not have a very deep family background. As for the Fourth Generation, Third Young Master and Yuan Family, even if he had two guts, he would not dare to touch a single hair on Yuan Shu.

Sun Jian had killed two high ranking officials appointed by the imperial government and at the same time, they were members of the Guandong Allied Army. In a short moment, even the strong and powerful people of Nanyang hid far away, no one daring to pay any attention to Sun Jian.

Only now did Sun Jian begin to regret his recklessness. Under the situation where he had no grains and his morale was unsteady, the desperate Sun Jian had no choice but to lower his head and helplessly fall under Yuan Shu's tutelage. He brought over thirty thousand of his soldiers to Lu Yang and became one of the generals under Yuan Shu.

Hearing that Sun Jian had volunteered himself in front of him, Yuan Shu couldn't believe his eyes. All these years, Sun Jian had been galloping on the battlefield, he was truly a warrior there. On the other hand, only a few of his subordinates had actually seen a battle before. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, Yuan Shu could not help but be overjoyed.

In order to acknowledge Sun Jian's surrender, Yuan Shu immediately wrote a letter to the imperial government in his name, ”Psalm”, in which Sun Jian represented the General. He did not know what Yuan Shu was thinking, but since he did not recognize the imperial government that Dong Zhuo controlled, why did he want to ”perform”?

General and Arrowhead of Henan Province should be appointed by the Son of Heaven himself, but now that the Son of Heaven was in Dong Zhuo's hands, the suggestions for the appointment and removal of the other people were no longer useful. Thus, Yuan Shu made his own appointment and reported to the Imperial Court for 'recording', this was what it meant to be a 'performance'.

Yuan Shu started off with this. In the future, as long as people of some power started to play a ”performance”, the appointment of personnel would become extremely chaotic, and there would often be situations where several thorny history, prefecture overseers, and several county taiwai s appeared. But in the end, whose fist was bigger and whose fist was tougher, was the ”performance”.

Chinese jujube was a county in the Yanzhou's Thorny History Department. It was near the Yellow River and was located in the north and south. From the east side, about two hundred miles away from the Luoyang, right next to the commandant division of the Si Li Academy, the Mou Clan and the Ying Yang s of Henan Province, and to the west was the barrier of the Luoyang, the Tiger Prison. The strategic position was extremely important.

In the first month of the month, all the prefecture in the east of the Tiger Cage had begun to gather in Jujube County. These assassins from the State County, the prefecture overseers, and the taiwai all came personally with their own troops. Furthermore, most of them had their lords with them, so they were also known as the alliance of the dukes.

A dozen or so dukes and two hundred thousand strong army gathered the jujube, making the jujube's business and economic development unprecedented. Whether they were selling bakeries or blacksmithing, almost all of them worked day and night. They could not satisfy the needs of the army, and even the local citizens could make a lot of money by cutting down the bundles of firewood.
