Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 167 Passing on the Jade Seal of the Country, Sun Jian Withdrew from Luoyang

Luoyang.

Looking at the dilapidated city of Luoyang, and then thinking of the tragic situation where there were no fireworks for hundreds of miles in Luoyang.

Sun Jian, Lu Zhi, Guan Yu and others were all melancholy and burst into tears.

"Send someone to clean up the ancestral temple, and then offer sacrifices as a prison." Sun Jian suggested.

Lu Zhi nodded.

Although the ancestral temple of the Han family was abandoned because of the collapse of Luoyang City, since it belonged to the king of Laiqin, it is natural to offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple.

The sacrifice is over.

Sun Jian and Lu Zhi stationed their soldiers and horses in the south and east of Luoyang City respectively, rectified their troops and horses, and then marched towards Xin'an and Mianchi.

The next morning.

A group of Sun Jian soldiers who were looking for money in the ruins of Luoyang salvaged a wooden box wrapped in silk from a well, and found a jade seal hidden in the wooden box!
Sergeant Sun Jian quickly handed over the brocade box to Sun Jian.

Seeing that this jade seal has a radius of four inches, and there are five dragons in Shanghai, one of the four corners is missing, and the eight characters "ordered by heaven, long life and eternal prosperity" are engraved.

"This is the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom?!" Sun Jian's tone couldn't help but be a little hasty.

The National Jade Seal!
Although he had never seen it with his own eyes before, Sun Jian had heard about the description of Chuan Guo Yuxi for a long time.

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao and other generals also surrounded Sun Jian.

"It is said that the Chuanguo Yuxi was ordered by the Qin Prime Minister Li Si to cast Lantian jade as the seal."

"After the Qin Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties have used this seal as a symbol, and it is regarded as a rare treasure, and it is known as the most important weapon of the country."

"Getting it means 'being ordered by the sky', and losing it means 'the fate is exhausted'."

"But anyone who ascends to a great position without this jade seal will be despised by the world."

"I didn't expect Chuan Guo Yuxi to appear here!"

"The emperor supported by Dong thief did not pass on the jade seal of the country, doesn't that mean?"

Cheng Pu's tone faltered, and he quickly dispersed the surrounding sergeants and ordered them to put martial law a hundred meters away.

"Demou, what do you want to say?" Sun Jian's eyes froze slightly.

Cheng Pu glanced around and lowered his voice: "My lord, the jade seal passed on to the country is ordered by heaven. No matter who the lord will support as emperor in the future, whoever is the emperor will be orthodox!"

"Even if the lord is self-reliant, with this imperial jade seal here"

Sun Jian sneered: "De Mou, shut up! Don't say such usurping words anymore! Since God let me get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, it means that I will be ordered by heaven, and I am destined to help the world!"

"Immediately block this news, and list the sergeants who know about Chuanguo Yuxi as personal soldiers, and you, Demou, will restrain you personally."

"No one is allowed to disclose the matter of passing on the jade seal of the country."

Zu Mao suddenly asked: "Can't Lu Shangshu and the others know?"

Sun Jian's eyes froze: "Since this Chuan Guo Yuxi was obtained by Ben, this general has the right to decide where he belongs."

"Mr. Sun, Dangxing!"

Although Sun Jian has no self-reliance at the moment, Sun Jian wants to use this Jade Seal to pursue greater fame.

With the Sun family's current reputation, if they really stand on their own with the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, they will be labeled as rebels immediately, just like Zhang Jiao of Taipingdao in the past.

After a pause, Sun Jian said again: "Yigong, you should return to Luyang immediately to meet the Empress General, as you said, there will be generous presents for you."

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai and Zu Mao were all taken aback.

Zu Mao was even more blunt: "My lord, even if you are not self-reliant, the Jade Seal of the Kingdom is in your hands, and it will be a great contribution to being a marquis and general in the future. How can you give it to others?"

Han Dang also said: "My lord, the future general is also an ambitious generation. If he gets the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be another Dong Zhuo."

Huang Gai had the same opinion as Zu Mao: "My lord, since you have passed on the jade seal of the country, how can you let it go easily?"

Cheng Pu figured out Sun Jian's intentions: "Unless all the soldiers who have seen the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom are killed today, the lord will not be able to hide the secret of the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom."

"However, even so, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will secretly peep into this secret."

"Instead of being frightened, it is better to dedicate the Chuanguo Yuxi to the general later. Firstly, it can express the Lord's loyalty to the general later, and secondly, the general later can also give the Lord some benefits."

"Even if the lord's acquisition of the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is discovered, there will be no damage to the lord's reputation."

"After all, the lord is under the general's command, so it's only natural to get the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom and dedicate it to the general."

Sun Jian nodded: "It's still Demou who knows the general's intentions! The imperial jade seal is hot, so it's better to exchange it for real benefits to the general."

Immediately.

Han Dang left Taigu Pass overnight to meet Yuan Shu in Luyang.

Knowing that Sun Jian had obtained the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, Yuan Shu couldn't breathe freely.

"Is it really the Jade Seal of Chuanguo? Did General Sun read it wrong?" Yuan Shu suddenly got up and stared at Han Dang.

What is the purpose of asking for directors?
To become the next Dong Zhuo!
But with the Chuanguo Yuxi, Yuan Shu can support a new emperor of the Han family!
With the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, the new emperor of the Han family is ordered by heaven, and is the orthodox Han family, so what kind of Dong Zhuo is still being attacked!

"General Han, pass on this general order to order General Polu to withdraw his troops from Luoyang immediately!" Yuan Shu said firmly.

Han Dang was taken aback: "General Empress, we just defeated Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, so we can take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely defeat Dong Zhuo. Why did we withdraw our troops?"

Yuan Shi became a little more angry: "General Han, I didn't want to retreat, but there have been changes in Yuzhou! First, Yuan Shao, the concubine of Yuzhou, came to rob Yuzhou, and now there is Chen Wang Liu Chong and Liu Bei of Qingzhou. I also want to seize Yuzhou."

"Even if there was no passing on the jade seal of the country, I would have brought General Polu back."

Han Dang said in shock: "But didn't Liu Bei form an alliance with the later general? How did he seize Yuzhou? Could it be Yuan Shao's plan to alienate him?"

Yuan Shu was a little displeased with Han Dang's questioning, but he still sighed and pretended: "At first, the general also thought it was Yuan Shao's little concubine's plan to divorce, so he sent Han Yin to borrow food from King Chen, so as to test the intention of King Chen. .”

"But Han Yin was beaten back by Chen Wang!"

"Damn King Chen!"

Han Yin was indeed beaten back by King Chen, but the reason for the beating was that when Han Yin borrowed food, the lion opened his mouth, and he wanted to ask King Chen to borrow [-] shi.

Chen Wang is not a man who can swallow his anger, Chen Guobing has enough food and is not afraid of Yuan Shu.

Chen Wang, who was impatient with Han Yin's nagging, directly asked the warriors to beat Han Yin out of Chen Guo.

Han Yin failed in his mission and was worried about being punished by Yuan Shu, so he told Yuan Shu how arrogant Chen Wang Liu Chong was, such as "Yuan Shu is just a dog slave of my Han family, and he dared to be arrogant in front of this king" "Others are afraid of him Yuan Gonglu, This king is not afraid." "If you have the guts, come and attack Chen Guo, if you don't, get out." and so on.

How could Yuan Shu bear this anger? If Yang Hong and others hadn't persuaded him, he would have raised troops to attack Chen Guo immediately.

Now he just used this excuse to transfer Sun Jian back to Luyang.

Han Dang didn't understand the scheming involved, only when Yuzhou was really going to change hands, he was flustered.

Sun Jian is the governor of Yuzhou. If Yuzhou is taken away, can he be the governor of Yuzhou again?

So Han Dang hurried back to Luoyang to convey Yuan Shu's military orders.

"withdraw troops?"

Sun Jian was also stunned by Yuan Shu's order.

"Dong Zhuo's new defeat is a good opportunity to attack Chang'an in one go. How can we just retreat when we say retreat?"

"If the troops retreat, wouldn't the general's battle along the way be in vain?"

Sun Jian didn't want to retreat.

The purpose of giving the Jade Seal of Chuanguo to Yuan Shu is to exchange the hot-handed Jade Seal for benefits, but it does not mean that Sun Jian wants to retreat!
After defeating Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian will surely become famous all over the world.

Even the heavens gave Sun Jian the Chuanguo Yuxi as a reward, how could he retreat at this time?
When Yuan Shu came to power, he, Sun Jian, would lead the troops outside and fight in all directions for the Han Dynasty.

When the Quartet is settled down, the Sun family will leap to become a wealthy family second only to the Yuan family!

Such a majestic future is about to come to naught?

"My lord, it's impossible not to retreat!" Han Dang smiled bitterly: "If you don't retreat, Yuzhou will not be safe! If Yuzhou is lost, the general will not even be able to raise food and grass, how can we attack Chang'an!"

Han Dang stated Yuan Shu's half-truths and half-false words to Sun Jian, and Sun Jian was furious: "We will raise righteous soldiers in the alliance to save the country. Now the rebels will be wiped out, but the alliance has begun to Struggle for power and profit! Who else can I work together with to save heaven and earth!"

Just now.

People reported to Guan Yu to see him.

But Sun Jian was very angry now, so he immediately sent Zu Mao to drink Guan Yu back: "Liu Bei is a traitor, what face does Guan Yu have to see this general?"

After defeating Lu Bu with Guan Yu, Sun Jian had a sympathy with Guan Yu. When he heard Guan Yu talk about Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, Sun Jian had a heart of admiration.

As a result, now, news came from Yuan Shu that Liu Bei and Liu Chong wanted to seize Yuzhou. How could Sun Jian have a good temper?
Guan Yu said how benevolent and righteous Liu Bei was before, but now Sun Jian thinks how disgusting Liu Bei is.

But not long after Zu Mao went out, Sun Jian heard Guan Yu's angry shout: "Sun Jian, come out to Guan!"

Sun Jian was angry, and Guan Yu was equally angry.

No one in this world can slander Liu Bei in front of Guan Yu!
Seeing Guan Yu insulting Sun Jian, Zu Mao became angry: "Guan Yu, how dare you—"

But the next moment, Zu Mao was slammed by Guan Yu: "It's none of your business, get out!"

Hearing Guan Yu's angry shout, Sun Jian hurried out of the camp, just in time to see Zu Mao who was thrown to his feet, and said angrily, "Guan Yu, Kuipai regards you as a friend. You left without shame. Do you really think the general is afraid of you if there is trouble in front of the camp gate?"

Guan Yu squinted his Danfeng eyes, and his anger did not diminish: "If Guan hadn't remembered his old love, he would have killed Zu Mao just now! Why did you let Zu Mao scold Guan's brother for treachery?"

Seeing that Guan Yu still wanted to kill Zu Mao, Sun Jian was even more annoyed, he didn't even have the mood to explain: "Then you have to go back and ask your brother what good things he did in Yuzhou!"

"It just so happens that you are here, so go back and tell Lu Shangshu that Dong Zhuo, whoever you like to beg, is about to withdraw his troops and return to Yuzhou!"

Guan Yu was shocked: "Are you going to withdraw your troops?"

Sun Jian snorted coldly: "It's not because of the benevolent brother you said!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Jian asked the sergeant to guard the gate of the camp, and returned to the commander's tent angrily, leaving only Guan Yu with a puzzled expression on his face.

"What's the situation?"

Sensing that something was wrong, Guan Yu put away his anger and hurried back to the base camp to see Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi was also quite surprised: "Dong Zhuo's new defeat is a good opportunity to attack Chang'an! Sun Polu actually wants to withdraw his troops?"

Guan Yu said in a calm voice: "Sun Jian was very angry, and even called his brother a perfidy. Guan estimates that Sun Jian may have been tricked into a riposte."

"But Sun Jian was very angry, and he didn't explain why."

Tian Yu said: "Master Lu, if Sun Jian withdraws his troops at this time, Dong Zhuo will definitely make a comeback. With our army's current strength, it is very difficult to stop it!"

After fighting in Luoyang for a long time, more than half of Lu Zhi's [-] soldiers and horses were lost.

If Sun Jian withdrew his army, let alone attacking Chang'an, whether he could hold Luoyang would be a problem.

"Yun Chang, you stay in the camp." Lu Zhi's face was serious: "Guorang, you go with the old man to see Sun Polu! You must ask clearly about this matter!"

the other side.

Sun Jian's anger also gradually disappeared, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became.

"Yun Chang is an open-minded person, if Liu Bei is really a perfidy, how can he let Yun Chang defend him like this?"

"Could it be that there is a villain at work?"

"But if Yuzhou is safe, how can the later general miss this good opportunity to defeat Dong Zhuo?"

Sun Jian couldn't figure it out.

He had just had a big quarrel with Guan Yu, and Sun Jian didn't want to look down and talk to Guan Yu at this moment.

Sun Jian is heroic and easy to make friends with, but he also values ​​face very much.

The four of Cheng Pu looked at each other, not knowing how to persuade them.

At this time, people reported that Lu Zhi was begging to see him outside the gate of the camp.

Seeing that it was Lu Zhi's arrival, Sun Jian couldn't lose his temper as before, so he hurriedly invited Lu Zhi into the tent.

"Suddenly I heard that Sun Polu was going to withdraw his troops. This old man was very puzzled. He also hoped that Sun Polu would give me a reason to withdraw his troops." Lu Zhi cut to the chase.

Sun Jian didn't know how to reply, so he gave Han Dang a look.

Han Dang said knowingly: "Lu Shangshu, it's not that my lord wants to withdraw troops, but that the general has an order."

Lu Zhi frowned: "Why did the Empress General suddenly order the withdrawal of troops? Does the Empress General want to let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Han Dang took a deep breath, and said: "The latter general said that Qingzhou Shepherd Liu Shijun has joined forces with Chen Wang and Liu Chong to seize Yuzhou!"

"Absurd!" Lu Zhi yelled, "How could Xuande do such a treacherous thing? There must be a villain slandering, how can the general believe it?"

Han Dang was helpless: "Lu Shangshu, I also asked the general later. But the general said that Han Yin, who was sent to the state of Chen, was driven out of the state of Chen by the king of Chen. The general had to believe it!"

"Now Danyang prefect Zhou Xin and Jiujiang prefect Zhou Ang are also trying to seize Yuzhou. Even if Qingzhou Mu did not participate, if the Zhou brothers join forces with King Chen, Yuzhou will not be guaranteed."

Seeing that Lu Zhi's expression was wrong, Sun Jian saluted Lu Zhi: "Lu Shangshu, I also wanted to defeat Dong Zhuo and become famous all over the world! But unfortunately, none of the heroes in the Kanto can work together with me."

"Lu Shangshu, if this general withdraws his troops, Dong Zhuo will definitely come back, so you should withdraw your troops earlier!"

Lu Zhi tightly clenched his saber, bowed silently, and left Sun Jian's tent with Tian Yu.

"My lord, judging by Lu Shangshu's appearance, he is not planning to withdraw his troops." Cheng Pu whispered.

Sun Jian sighed softly: "Lu Shangshu is dedicated to serving the public, so how could he easily withdraw his troops. Tomorrow, I will leave some luggage for Lu Shangshu, and this general can only help here."
