Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

"There are other reasons for this, which will be explained later."

Li Ji did not have time to explain too much to Guo Jia, but was trying to gain a time difference.

After Sun Jian was rescued, given his strong character, he would definitely return to the allied camp and cause a big commotion.

In the original trajectory, the leader of the alliance was Yuan Shao, and the governor of grain and grass was Yuan Shu. It can be said that the final right of interpretation of the entire alliance was in the hands of the two Yuans.

Therefore, it is really outrageous that although it was a major event that secretly cut off the food supply and stabbed the allies in the back, in the end they just executed a small grain officer under Yuan Shu as a scapegoat and let it go.

Unfortunately, this time Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation to become the leader of the alliance, and handed over the affairs of the governor's grain to Yuan Shu. Liu Bei, who was also the deputy leader of the alliance, only had charge of military law.

As a result, even if Li Ji wanted to get food and grass, he couldn't get involved at all.

Li Ji had been secretly sending people to closely monitor the baggage train entering and leaving the camp. He discovered that three days ago, the baggage train that was supposed to deliver food to Sun Jian went around outside and then returned directly to the camp from another direction.

This made Li Ji realize that Yuan Shu still secretly cut off Sun Jian's food supply as before.

However, there were many factions within the allied forces. Even if Li Ji exposed the truth in advance, Yuan Shu would probably be able to find an excuse to shirk his responsibility before any real consequences were caused.

Therefore, Li Ji sent Zhao Yun with 500 white horse volunteers out of the camp in the name of scouting the army's stationed location without attracting the attention of any princes, ready to rescue Sun Jian at any time.

Perhaps, in the long run, Sun Jian's character will also be an obstacle for Liu Bei to unify the world.

However, the allied forces had not yet reached Sishui Pass when they had already lost a town of lords, and Sun Jian was still a lord supporting Liu Bei in name only among the allied forces.

For both public and private reasons, Li Ji could not allow Sun Jian to be defeated and die at this moment.

Otherwise, it would be a heavy blow to both the morale of the allied forces and Liu Bei's personal prestige within the allied forces.

On the contrary, saving Sun Jian is a... great opportunity.

Several thoughts kept surging in Li Ji's mind, and he walked quickly and soon arrived outside Liu Bei's tent.

At this moment, inside the tent, under Li Ji's deliberate arrangement, Liu Bei was drinking tea with a group of princes who supported him, discussing the current situation and how to defeat the thief Dong.

However, when Guo Jia walked into the tent with a very low presence, he gave Liu Bei a look.

Liu Bei immediately realized that Li Ji was waiting for him outside the tent, and then he made an excuse to go to the toilet and quickly walked out of the tent.

After leaving the tent, Liu Bei saw Li Ji and hurriedly went up to him and asked.

"Zikun, what's the emergency?"

Immediately, Li Ji came close to Liu Bei and whispered for a while.

Liu Bei was slightly startled at first, then after thinking for a while, he nodded repeatedly to indicate that he knew clearly what to do.

……

It was also at this time that Sun Jian, holding an ancient ingot knife, rushed directly back to the allied camp. He first went to Yuan Shu's station and learned that Yuan Shu was having a banquet with the alliance leader and other princes in the central army tent.

Sun Jian also rushed towards the central military tent without any hesitation and with murderous intent.

Yuan Shao's personal guards who were originally guarding outside the central army tent, seeing Sun Jian's bloody and murderous appearance, instinctively wanted to stop Sun Jian.

However, Sun Jian gradually gained the reputation of being the "Fierce Tiger of Jiangdong", which he relied on naturally for his amazing bravery.

Or compared with Lu Bu, he is still far behind, but he is definitely one of the best in the world.

Therefore, the furious Sun Jian kicked away several of his personal guards in just a few moves, and then strode into the central army tent.

However, when Sun Jian saw the situation clearly in the central army tent, he felt his blood boiling.

Sun Jian led his soldiers as the vanguard and fought for many days at Sishui Pass, suffering heavy casualties.

However, the allied princes who had not yet arrived at Sishui Pass were now drinking and having fun in the central army tent. They were all drunk and behaved in an ugly manner.

In other words, he might have taken some considerations about his face and influence, otherwise the central military tent would have had to have many more dancers and beauties to accompany him.

Faced with Sun Jian's sudden intrusion, the princes in the central military tent were all stunned and could not react for a while.

However, the fact that these princes did not react does not mean that Sun Jian did not react.

Sun Jian's eyes swept across the central army tent and almost instantly locked onto Yuan Shu, who had a look of surprise and was still a little drunk.

"Yuan Shu, you little bastard, please accept your fate!"

Sun Jian rushed towards Yuan Shu without any hesitation. He raised the ancient ingot knife in his hand and chopped Yuan Shu's neck, intending to wash away the anger in his heart with Yuan Shu's blood.

What consequences, what justice...

At this moment, Sun Jian didn't care at all. He was so angry that he just wanted to take Yuan Shu's life.

Although Yuan Shu was far inferior to Yuan Shao in character, cunning and ability, he was still a descendant of a famous family and had been educated in the six arts of a gentleman since childhood.

Faced with the gleaming ancient ingot knife that was coming at him, Yuan Shu instinctively rolled over and dodged in a rather embarrassing manner.

However, the table filled with fine wine and delicious food in front of Yuan Shu was not so lucky. It was directly chopped into two pieces by the ancient ingot knife.

This movement also made the princes present react completely.

Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat, was so shocked that he stood up and shouted angrily.

"Sun Wentai, what are you doing? Stop it immediately." The other princes also stood up one after another. Some princes who were scholars subconsciously stayed away from Sun Jian, while some princes who were military generals drew their swords at their waists and pointed them at Sun Jian.

However, looking at the ancient ingot knife in Sun Jian's hand that was used throughout the battlefield, the Han swords worn by the princes at their waists might not be able to withstand a blow.

Moreover, Sun Jian's martial arts had always been outstanding. Even though some princes drew their swords, they did not have the confidence to step forward to stop Sun Jian, for fear that they would be stabbed by Yuan Shu and die.

Sun Jian ignored the reactions of the other princes, pulled out the ancient ingot knife from the ground with both hands, and rushed straight towards Yuan Shu.

This charge frightened Yuan Shu so much that he cried for help and then fled behind the other princes in a panic.

For a moment, the entire central army tent was in chaos, with everyone running around in panic as Sun Jian, who was holding the ancient ingot knife, chased them.

What’s more important is that at the banquet for the princes held in the central army tent, none of the princes brought their subordinates with them. Looking at Sun Jian’s crazy appearance, which prince dared to stop him?
However, when Sun Jian broke into the central military tent, he had already caused a commotion among the guards who were in charge of guarding it.

While Yuan Shu was hiding here and there and delaying for a while, the rest of his guards rushed in one after another.

When Yuan Shu saw this, he felt as if he had seen a savior and quickly hid behind the armored guards.

Although Sun Jian was very brave, he knew that it was almost impossible for him to break through and kill Yuan Shu alone when facing his personal guards who were fully armored and holding shields.

Yuan Shu, who was hiding behind a group of personal guards, subconsciously touched his neck. After confirming that his head was still there, he became so angry that he shouted in the direction of Sun Jian.

"My friends, chop this beast into meat paste for me."

"Wait a minute!!"

Yuan Shao shouted loudly, looking at the commotion in the central army tent, his brows twisted into a knot, and the slightly tipsy feeling he had originally felt disappeared completely.

"Sun Wentai, why did you commit murder on Yuan Gonglu?"

Sun Jian looked around, and his heart, which was originally filled with anger, felt even more sad.

Although Sun Jian knew that he was extremely utilitarian, he also had some loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

However, after gathering all their elite troops to fight for the Han, they ended up with such a fate.

"Why? This little Yuan Shu cut off our food supplies, causing our army to be ambushed by Hua Xiong and defeated. If I don't kill this villain, how can I rest in peace even in the afterlife?"

When these words were spoken, all the princes present were shocked.

He was shocked by Sun Jian's defeat and also shocked by Yuan Shu's cutting off of Sun Jian's food supply behind his back.

Not to mention the other princes, even Yuan Shao's expression became extremely interesting at this moment.

Yuan Shao also secretly hated and loathed Sun Jian in his heart, but he never thought of assassinating Sun Jian while he was the leader of the alliance, so as not to tarnish his reputation as a "model of the Han Dynasty."

Anyway, backstabbing an ally...

Or stabbing their allies in the back by cutting off their food supplies. This is undoubtedly a scandal that will be despised by the world!
Immediately, Yuan Shao questioned Yuan Shu who was hiding behind a group of personal guards.

"Yuan Gonglu, is this true?!"

When Yuan Shu heard this, his expression changed slightly.

As the current governor of grain and fodder for the allied forces, it was naturally Yuan Shu's instruction to cut off Sun Jian's grain and fodder.

However, what Yuan Shu wanted to do was to threaten Sun Jian with borrowing grain to alert him, let Sun Jian understand what the Yuan family was, and force Sun Jian to submit to him.

As long as Sun Jian sent someone back to beg for food, Yuan Shu would be ready to supply Sun Jian with food and fodder again.

Yuan Shu waited and waited but Sun Jian never bowed his head. He became more and more angry, but he also thought that Sun Jian had his own way to temporarily solve the problem of the arrogance of the food and fodder supplier.

However, Yuan Shu never expected that Sun Jian would suffer a great defeat as a result, and the situation would reach such an irreversible point.

However, as a descendant of a prominent family, Yuan Shu was well versed in the art of passing the buck, so he spoke up despite himself.

"I don't know about this either. Why not call the grain officer in charge of Sun Wentai's grain and grass and ask him in public?"

Immediately, Yuan Shu sent one of his personal guards to hurriedly call over a grain officer under his command and asked him in public.

"But you cut off Sun Wentai's food supplies without permission?"

The grain officer, who was originally a retainer of the Yuan family, could only respond reluctantly in the face of Yuan Shu's threatening look.

"Yes, yes... I secretly sold some of the food that was supposed to be given to General Sun..."

"How dare you do such a cruel thing without telling me!"

Yuan Shu cursed angrily, then waved his hand and said, "Come here, take this man down and behead him."

Upon hearing this, the grain officer turned pale, but he did not dare to resist for fear of bringing disaster to his family.

However, just as the guards were about to drag the grain officer away, Liu Bei's voice was heard outside the central army tent.

"Wait a minute!"

Soon, Liu Bei led the other princes into the central military tent.

This situation made Yuan Shao's expression, which had already eased, become more ugly again. (End of this chapter)
