System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

While Dong Yu was preparing for the next war, Zhu Jun also began intensive preparations.

He first contacted Yuan Shao, and after weighing the pros and cons with him, Yuan Shao agreed to send 5,000 troops and 30,000 stones of grain to help Zhu Jun.

Don’t think that 5,000 people are few, but Director Yuan really didn’t have many people at that time.

It had been just over a year since he took over Jizhou, and he had been fighting with Gongsun Zan before that, so he had not completely digested Jizhou.

After contacting Yuan Shao again, he sent someone to deliver letters to Liu Dai and Tao Qian.

Fortunately for Liu Dai, when he heard Zhu Jun asking for help and saying that he wanted to fight Dong Zhuo, he immediately agreed to provide 10,000 troops.

Tao Qian was a little unhappy.

Last year, he had already sent 3,000 elite soldiers to Zhu Jun, but they were defeated in one fell swoop by Li Jue and Guo Fan.

This year again?

If you want both, you'll get it.

How much is the kindness of the past worth? Besides, he has already lent it to me once. It would be fine if you, Zhu Jun, didn’t return it to me, but now you want to lend it to me again. Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

Do you really think I paid money for my name, Tao Qian?

"Yes, yes, very good."

"Benchu ​​has a good grasp of the general situation. He is worthy of being born into the Yuan family, a family with three officials for four generations. He truly has the demeanor of a distinguished family."

Zhu Jun looked at Yuan Shao's reply and nodded slightly with satisfaction.

He put down the letter and opened another reply letter from Liu Dai.

"Well, very good, very good."

"At critical moments, it's still the royal family that you can rely on."

After seeing that Liu Dai promised to give him 10,000 troops, Zhu Jun couldn't help but praise him.

With the first two good news, Zhu Jun has begun to look forward to the third good news.

After all, Tao Qian has a close relationship with him and will definitely not refuse his request.

What's more, he was fighting for the Han Dynasty. As a Han official, how could Tao Qian refuse?

However, when the letter was unfolded, the content on it made Zhu Jun's smile freeze.

"How dare you, Tao Qian, insult me!"

Zhu Jun angrily slammed the table and couldn't help cursing.

"General, but Tao Qian refused?"

Xu Qiu frowned and asked worriedly.

"See for yourself."

Zhu Jun frowned and angrily threw the letter to Xu Qiu.

After taking the letter, Xu Qiu's eyelids twitched slightly at the content.

"Xuzhou is in a difficult situation, but remembering our past friendship, I dare not disobey. I can only give you 250 soldiers to help you defeat the bandits."

"General, he called you an idiot!"

Xu Qiu pointed at the letter and said to Zhu Jun.

"I don't need you to tell me. Can't I see it myself?"

Zhu Jun's forehead was bulging with veins and he glared at Xu Qiu angrily.

"What should we do now?"

"Tao Qian is clearly humiliating the general. Without Xuzhou's support, it will be difficult for us to face the Dong thief alone."

Zhang Chao looked at Zhu Jun and said seriously.

"Humph!"

"The reason we were defeated in the last battle was because the two thieves Li and Guo had too many soldiers and generals under their command."

"This time, we have the help of Benchu's 5,000 troops and Gongshan's 10,000 troops, plus our own 10,000-plus troops, which is more than enough."

"I have served in the army for decades, and the only generals Dong Zhuo could dispatch were the two thieves Li Jue and Guo Fan."

"Presumably, our opponents this time are undoubtedly them."

Zhu Jun snorted coldly and said indifferently.

The main reason for his last defeat was that Tao Qian only gave him three thousand elite soldiers.

Together with his own army of less than 20,000, he was defeated head-on by the army of more than 30,000 led by Li Jue and Guo Fan.

After all, Li Jue was still commanding the Feixiong Army, an ace force at that time.

Even though the Feixiong Army's armor was relatively simple at that time, it was still easy to defeat some unarmored enemy troops.

But things are different now. Last time I suffered because of my ignorance.

Now that he knows the enemy's strength, he will naturally make corresponding deployments.

"Zibing, lead two thousand troops to Hulao Pass and try to control it."
