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

This incident prevented Yuan Shao from sleeping well for the past few days.

After all, Dangyin’s location is quite special, it is just seventy miles south of Yecheng.

Therefore, Yuan Shao could only delay the 5,000 troops promised to Zhu Jun.

The main reason is that he does not have enough troops. If he lends his troops to Zhu Jun, Yecheng will be empty. What will he do if Zhang Yang leads his troops north?

Before helping others, you must first be able to protect your own foundation.

"My lord, we still need to see Zhu Jun's people."

"If we don't enforce it strictly and severely, I'm afraid Zhu Jun will be dissatisfied, which will damage the lord's reputation."

Tian Feng cupped his hands and suggested.

"What are you meeting? What should I say after I meet you?"

Yuan Shao asked somewhat reluctantly.

He intended to give Zhu Jun's people the cold shoulder.

"Just tell the truth about the situation in Jizhou."

"Even if Zhu Jun has grievances, they are directed at Gongsun Zan and others. What does it have to do with you, my lord?"

"Could it be that the Lord is going to give up Jizhou to help others?"

Tian Feng said to Yuan Shao patiently.

"Well, never mind, let's meet."

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and decided to follow Tian Feng's advice.

Not all of them. Ren Jun, who was sent by Zhu Jun, walked in and greeted Yuan Shao respectfully.

"I am Ren Jun, the military commander under General Zhu. I have come here on the orders of my general to pay my respects to the envoy and also to expedite the loan of troops."

Ren Jun bowed with both hands and said to Yuan Shao.

"Alas...I'm afraid this isn't the right thing to do."

Yuan Shao felt a burning sensation on his face, and he suddenly regretted agreeing to Tian Feng.

Isn’t it bad to be rejected?

This was the first time he went back on his word, making Yuan Shao feel slapped in the face, and he was slapping himself in the face.

"Why...why is the envoy like this?"

"Hasn't this been agreed upon before?"

Ren Jun was a little at a loss and hurriedly asked about the situation.

"Alas, to be honest, the situation in Jizhou is very bad right now."

"To the north, there are Gongsun Zan, to the west, there are bandits from the Taihang Mountains. Zhang Yang in Hanoi has also planted land in Dangyin, and to the east, we have to be wary of Qingzhou. I really don't have time to spare."

"However, once Jizhou has overcome this crisis, I will definitely provide General Zhu with 10,000 troops."

Yuan Shao sighed and began to explain.

It was fine in other places, but Yuan Shao felt aggrieved about Zhang Yang's farming in Henei.

The little brother he used to be now actually dares to bully him.

Is he farming in Dangyin?

He is farming in public, but I don’t know what he is planning in secret!

"This... is it really impossible to distinguish between the troops?"

Ren Jun looked embarrassed and asked again.

"I really can't tell."

"Otherwise, I, Yuan Shao, am especially the one who breaks his promise?"

Yuan Shao nodded, looked at Ren Jun apologetically, and asked back.

"This... Alas, I have something else to do. I need to return to Zhongmu as soon as possible to report this matter to General Zhu so that he can make preparations early."

Ren Jun hesitated for a moment and then said goodbye to Yuan Shao.

...

中牟

Zhu Jun has been in a very bad mood these days.

Half a month ago, he sent people to Hulao Pass to destroy the gate.

But when his men arrived, the flag of Dong's army had already been raised on Hulao Pass.

A few days ago, bad news came from Yanzhou again.

The talented and playful Liu Dai actually led his troops into battle himself, and as expected, was defeated by the Yellow Turban bandits.

When Zhu Jun heard the news, he was completely stunned.

Who is Liugongshan?

Why does a good governor have to insist on leading troops?

You don't have that ability, you know?

Now, not only has he lost his life, but he has also delayed my important business!

You know, Liu Dai originally promised Zhu Jun to lend him 10,000 troops.

"General!"

"General, something big has happened!"

Ren Jun rode his horse at full speed back to Zhongmu and rushed into the central army tent.

"Shude, what happened? Why are you so panicked?"

Zhu Jun hurriedly looked at Ren Jun and asked about the situation.

"Yuan...Yuan Shao...he has no more troops to lend us."

Ren Jun gasped and spoke.

"what?"

"How could this be?"

Zhu Jun looked incredulous.

The two reinforcements did not arrive together, which made Zhu Jun completely panicked.

He only had 10,000 troops.

After a few days of reconnaissance, we found that the enemy had at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops.

As for the exact amount, it was difficult for him to find out.

But even if Dong Jun only maintained the number he analyzed based on the smoke, it would be difficult to defeat him with his current military strength.

After all, as generals Li and Guo had fought against each other before, Zhu Jun would never dare to underestimate them.

He might win with equal forces, but with inferior forces, he would surely lose.

So Ren Jun told Zhu Jun all of Yuan Shao's reasons.

When he heard that Yuan Shao needed to be wary of so many people, his resentment was reduced a lot.

"I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the thief Dong."

After a long while, Zhu Jun spoke with a serious expression.

Having dealt with Dong Zhuo many times before, Zhu Jun naturally understood that there were many wise and resourceful people under his command.

Especially Li Ru, who would do anything to achieve his goal.

"General, what should we do now?"

Ren Jun asked with a worried look on his face.

In his opinion, there was not much chance of winning this battle.

Even the experienced Zhu Jun was not enough to make up for such a large gap in military strength.

"withdraw!"

"Retreat to Yanzhou."

After a brief thought, Zhu Jun decided to go to Yanzhou.

Isn’t Liu Dai dead?

Zhu Jun happened to be in charge of the overall situation, thus developing and growing stronger, and plotting to restore the Han Dynasty.
