Chapter 144 Disintegration of the princes
Li Yang, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian abandoned the princes and divided their troops into three groups to advance towards Luoyang!
Cao Cao led his army westward. When he reached the Bian River in Xingyang (now southwest of Xingyang), he met Xu Rong, a general under Dong Zhuo, and started a fierce confrontation. Due to the huge disparity in the number of soldiers on both sides, Cao Cao was defeated, most of the soldiers were killed and injured. Cao Cao himself was also injured by a trap. Fortunately, his cousin Cao Hong sacrificed his life to save him, so he survived.
Cao Hong was extremely greedy throughout his life, but he was loyal to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao lost his horse, and Dong Jun chased him in a hurry. Seeing this, Cao Hong jumped off the horse and gave up his mount to Cao Cao. Cao Cao refused. Cao Hong advised him: "There can be no more than me, Cao Hong, but you can't be without you!"
Cao Cao was moved, so he turned over his horse. Cao Hong followed Cao Cao to the edge of the Bian River on foot. Seeing the deep and rapid flow, he could not wade across the river. So Cao Hong searched along the river and finally found a ferry and paddled over Cao Cao across the river himself.
Sun Jian led his troops straight into Luoyang. Looking at the raging fire inside and outside Luoyang, he sighed and cursed Dong Zhuo's ancestors for 18 generations. Sun Jian ordered the army to station in the south of the city, while he personally led a small number of troops to the palace!
After entering the palace, Sun Jian ordered people to investigate everywhere, search and rescue those who survived, and seek suspicious people!
A small school fast Malay newspaper: "Lord, I found a person in the well!"
"Go and have a look!" Sun Jian said!
Sun Jian walked out of Jianzhang Hall with all the generals and came to the side of Zhenguan Well. He looked over and saw that there seemed to be colorful luck floating in the well. Sun Jian was shocked and hurriedly ordered someone to pull up the people in the well!
Several soldiers took great effort to pull the people in the well up. Sun Jian looked at him firmly and saw a palace maid who had long been breathless. She was holding a square box tightly wrapped in yellow silk in her arms!
Cheng Pu took out the package and handed it to Sun Jian!
Sun Jian opened the package, looked closely, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, exclaiming: "This...this is..."
The seal is four inches in a radius, with five dragons on the top of the New York City, and a corner is missing. It is supplemented with gold. The front is engraved with eight seal characters "Actually responsible for heaven, and will live forever" as a token of "Imperial power, heavenly empowerment, orthodox and legality".
Cheng Pu was overjoyed and said, "Congratulations to lord, congratulations to lord! This is the jade seal of the country!"
Sun Jian pretended to be frightened and said, "Transfer the Jade Seal of the Kingdom?"
Cheng Pu couldn't hide his excitement and talked freely: "Lord, in the past, Bian He was under Jingshan. When he saw a phoenix lying on a stone, he presented it to King Wen of Chu with this stone. King Wen of Chu ordered people to explain it. As expected, he got jade and was known as Heshi Bi in the world.
Later, Qin Shihuang ordered skilled craftsmen to carve it into a jade seal, and Li Si compiled this eight characters on it. Qin Shihuang patroled to Dongting Lake, and the wind and waves were made. The boats were about to cover it, so he rushed to throw the jade seal into the lake, and the wind and waves stopped.
Eight years later, the Emperor Shi Huang patroled to Huayin, and someone offered this seal on the side of the road, so the seal returned to Qin. The next year, Qin Shi Huang passed away, and his grandson Ying later presented the seal to Emperor Gaozu of Han, which became the imperial seal."
Sun Jian nodded silently and couldn't put down his love!
Seeing that the soldiers were salivating at the jade seal, Cheng Pu was worried that the princes would mix in it in detail, so he urged Sun Jian: "Lord, don't stay here for a long time. You should go back to Jiangdong quickly and don't do anything big!"
"The words of Democraticism are just what I want!" Sun Jian pointed his head and said, "I will tell the princes to the sick tomorrow and leave!"
Day 2!
Sun Jian led his crew back to the Allied camp, said to Yuan Shao, "Jian, I accidentally got cold and wanted to return to Changsha! I'll say goodbye!"
Yuan Shao snorted coldly and sneered: "What you have had is the disease of the imperial seal, right?"
Sun Jian was slightly stunned and said, "Why did the leader say this?"
Yuan Shao said righteously: "We are launching troops to fight against the thieves to eliminate the harm to the country. The jade seal is the treasure of the court. After the Duke got it, he should keep it in the place of the leader of the alliance. After Dong Zhuo was killed, he would return to the court. Today you want to hide and leave, what do you want to do?"
Sun Jian pretended not to know and said with a grievance: "This...how is this jade seal in my hands..."
Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said angrily: "Where is the thing in Jianzhang Palace Well?"
Sun Jian was asked a big blushing face and said with a thorn in his mouth, "I don't have this, why should I force myself to do this?"
Yuan Shao did not give in at all and said aggressively: "Take it over quickly to avoid disaster!"
"The emperor is above. If I get this treasure and hide it privately, I will not die well the next day! I will die under ten thousand arrows!" Sun Jian made a poisonous oath to the sky without his conscience!
The kind-hearted man Kong Rong stepped forward and said, "The Wentai swears like this, there must be no jade seal!"
Yuan Shao snorted coldly with disdain and waved behind him!
A soldier walked out, looked at Sun Jian, and then lowered his head and stopped talking!
Yuan Shao pointed to the soldiers, confronted Sun Jian in public, and said, "Was there such a person when the salvage was done?"
Sun Jian was furious and drew his sword in his hand, wanting to kill someone to silence him!
Yuan Shao was furious and drew his sword to stop him, saying, "You bullied me too much."
Seeing this, Gongsun Zan and other princes rushed forward to persuade them and pulled them apart!
Sun Jian snorted coldly, left the princes aside, and strode away!
Just now!
The scout came to report: "Report to the leader of the alliance, Cao Cao led his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, fell into an ambush, and returned home in a great defeat!"
Yuan Shao sighed, pretending to be deep, and said, "If you don't listen to me, you will be defeated!"
After hearing the war report, the morale of the princes was greatly reduced and they all retreated!
"What should I do?"
"After this battle, the old thief Dong Zhuo is even more arrogant!"
"It seems that this battle is so bad!"
All the above words come from the mouths of the eighteen princes!
"The banquet was held in the back tent, which shocked Meng De!" Yuan Shao said!
During the meal!
Yuan Shao frequently persuaded him to drink, comforted Cao Cao, and said, "Meng De, don't be irritable, victory or defeat is a common thing for military affairs!"
Cao Cao was in a bad mood and was slightly drunk. He talked happily: "I started to promote great righteousness and eliminate thieves for the country. The eighteen troops came with righteousness. Cao, I was grateful in my heart! My original intention was to trouble the people in Henoi, who were in Mengjin and sour jujube. The generals held their testicles, occupied the warehouse, blocked the turrets, and controlled the dangerous situation..."
Cao Cao came to Yuan Shu and said, "Highway, you lead the army of Runan to station in Danxi and enter Wuguan to shake the three auxiliary forces. The people are all deep and high-rise. Do not fight with them. They are more suspicious of the army and show the situation in the world. You can establish a determination by following the situation of the world."
Cao Cao's eyes swept across the faces of everyone and said angrily: "Now the princes hesitate and lose all their expectations, I feel deeply ashamed... deeply ashamed!"
Cao Cao repeated the words "Deeply feeling humiliated" and staggered away!
I have to say that Cao Cao was still caring about the Han Dynasty at this time!
There are righteous men in Kanto, and they raise troops to fight against all the evildoers.
In the early stage, the meeting in Mongjin was in Xianyang.
The army was in uneven force, and hesitated and geese walked.
Forces cause people to fight, but the heirs will kill each other.
The title of Huainan brother was engraved in the north.
The armor produces lice, and the surnames die.
The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.
One hundred and one after another in life, and thoughts break the heart.
From then on!
