Chapter 334

"However, taking over the other territories of Nanyang as soon as possible is not easy either!"

"Especially that Wancheng, with its solid city defenses; with my current military strength, if that Zhang Zi is determined to defend to the death, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it in a short time!"

This is the reason why he hasn't gone to forcibly attack Wancheng until now.

Yan Xiang immediately suggested: "Hasn't the Administrator of Changsha, Sun Jian, already arrived in Jiangxia according to the Lord's order?"

"Lord, you can completely send Sun Jian to take Wancheng for you!"

"No matter what method he uses, whether it's a forced attack or a scheme, it's all fine!"

"Not only must he take Wancheng, but it would be best if he could take the initiative to kill Zhang Zi; when the time comes, the position of Administrator of Nanyang will be vacant!"

"Whether the Lord asks the old gentleman to find a way to get the position of Administrator of Nanyang for you, or you take the position of Administrator of Nanyang yourself, it's all possible."

Anyway, it's best if Yuan Shu doesn't kill Zhang Zi himself.

Otherwise, even with the Yuan clan's name, it would have a considerable impact on Yuan Shu's reputation.

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "This is good! Let's do it!"

"I will send someone to summon Sun Jian to handle Zhang Zi!"

He decided to make good use of Sun Jian, this tool man.

240 Anyway, Sun Jian has already killed the Inspector of Jingzhou, Wang Rui; I think he definitely won't mind killing one more Administrator of Nanyang, Zhang Zi.

Hehe!

2 days later, Sun Jian accepted Yuan Shu's order and led 20,000 troops into Nanyang.

Among them, 10,000 were new recruits recruited from Jiangxia, and their combat power was worrying.

Afterwards, Sun Jian marched directly to Wancheng.

In the name of Yuan Shu, he asked Zhang Zi to supply grain and fodder.

Zhang Zi naturally didn't agree.

But Sun Jian was not only not angry, but also sent someone to bring cattle and wine as gifts to Zhang Zi.

And, he invited Zhang Zi to a banquet.

Zhang Zi thought Sun Jian really wanted to make friends with him, so he could only leave the city to attend the banquet.

As a result, he was directly beheaded by Sun Jian during the banquet.

Then, Sun Jian took advantage of Wancheng's lack of preparation and took Wancheng directly.

Half a month later, he helped Yuan Shu conquer and force his way through, taking most of Nanyang into his pocket.

And just at this time,

News came out of Luoyang that Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo had failed and he had escaped from Luoyang.

Yuan Shu first showed a look of astonishment, and then said with a look of disdain: "This Cao Mengde is really getting worse and worse!"

"He actually went to assassinate him in person; did he get water in his brain?"

"Wouldn't it be fine to leave this kind of thing to the family's death-soldiers? Why take the risk in person?"

"One only has one life!"

"He doesn't even understand the principle that a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall; it's a pity he always thinks he is very smart! Hehe! I think he's just like that!"

Yan Xiang, who was on the side, was speechless upon hearing this.

Do you think everyone is like you, Yuan Shu, with the Yuan clan's background and connections?

Cao Cao's birth was naturally okay compared to ordinary people, but his reputation as the descendant of a eunuch greatly affected his future.

He probably did this assassination to make a name for himself.

"This person is not simple! If he can escape the pursuit this time, his future will be limitless; I must remind the Lord at the right time."

Yan Xiang thought to himself.

A few more days passed,

Yuan Shao raised an army in Bohai and issued a crusade manifesto to the entire Great Han, calling upon the warlords of the world to jointly raise an army, form a warlord coalition, and crusade against the traitor Dong Zhuo.

For a time, the world was in an uproar.

In just a few days, it spread throughout the entire Great Han.

Yuan Shu, who had just taken most of Nanyang, naturally received the news.

Yuan Shu was furious: "Damn Yuan Benchu! You are just a concubine's son born to a concubine; by what right do you issue a manifesto in the name of the Yuan clan and form a warlord coalition?"

"This kind of thing should only be done by me, the legitimate son of the Yuan family!"

"Presumptuous! Simply presumptuous!! Does he still have me in his eyes?"

Yuan Shu was furious.

Yuan Shao actually did what he wanted to do but didn't have time to do, stealing all the limelight.

Making it so that even if he wanted to do it now, it was too late!

"No! I can't swallow this breath; so what if you issued a call? Next, I will grab the position of leader of the alliance!"

Yuan Shu muttered fiercely.
