Chapter 272: Falling apart (I)
Luoyang, the imperial city side hall.
Yuan Shao received the news that Wang Can led his troops back to Hanzhong, and immediately convened the princes to discuss the matter.
Like Yuan Shao, the other princes who stayed in Luoyang also received the news of Wang Can's departure.
In the side hall of the palace, Yuan Shao sat on the main seat, with a gloomy face, squinting slightly, and a cold light flashed in his narrow eyes. At this time, Yuan Shao had lost the humility that he had just led the troops into Luoyang, and as a matter of course, he lifted his robe and sat in a position that only the emperor could do.
The princes thought about Wang Can's return to Hanzhong, and they did not pursue the matter of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao's seat.
Yuan Shao's eyes were cold, and he swept past the princes from all walks of life one by one, and his tone was low: "I think that all the princes have also received the news, Wang Can led his troops to defeat Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers and robbed Dong Zhuo of the money he looted from Luoyang. Wang Can defeated Dong Zhuo, he should have returned to Luoyang and discussed with the princes about dealing with Dong Zhuo's money, but Wang Can led the troops back to Hanzhong without authorization and swallowed the money alone, so he did not abide by the law and discipline, and did not take into account the interests of his allies, what did the princes think should deal with Wang Can? ”
Wang Can defeated Dong Zhuo and swallowed Dong Zhuo's money alone, which made Yuan Shao's heart itch with hatred.
For a long time, Yuan Shao thought that Wang Can supported him.
Unexpectedly, after Wang Can actually got the benefits, he immediately slipped away and returned to Hanzhong with the Hanzhong soldiers and the broken military camp. If he knew this, he should have suppressed Wang Can and prevented him from coming out.
It's a pity that it's too late to regret it!
Yuan Shu listened to Yuan Shao's words, sneered twice, and said: "Since the alliance leader thinks that Wang Can does not obey the law and discipline, please ask the alliance leader to order Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead the army to crusade against Wang Can, and force Wang Can to hand over the money looted by Dong Zhuo. ”
Yuan Shu's words were loud, which made Yuan Shaodeng stunned.
At this time, Yuan Shu actually stood up and raised the bar with him.
Yuan Shao stared at Yuan Shu viciously, and Yuan Shu did not back down.
Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao and sneered in his heart: Yuan Shao's eyes were red and Wang Can took Dong Zhuo's money, and he wanted to get a piece of the pie, but he wanted to drag all the princes. But Yuan Shu has already learned Wang Can's methods, and a person as strong as Dong Zhuo is not an opponent, he Yuan Shu went up to fight with Wang Can, isn't he asking for hardship.
With Yuan Shu's thoughts, none of the princes in the hall stood up to respond to Yuan Shao's words.
Especially Gongsun Zhan and Sun Jian, both of them showed disdain on their faces.
Yuan Shao, as the leader of the princes' alliance, led the princes from all walks of life into Luoyang, although the princes had concerns and did not want to attack Dong Zhuo, but Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance and could command the princes, if Yuan Shao was stronger, the princes could only agree to send troops, but they did not contribute to the troops, but Yuan Shao finally chose to stay in Luoyang, only Cao Cao and Wang Can led the troops to attack Dong Zhuo.
Now that Wang Can defeated Dong Zhuo and got countless money, Yuan Shao wanted to get a piece of the pie when he saw it.
If you don't make any effort, you want to take advantage, what kind of reason is this?
Sun Jian thought for a while, stood up and said, "Alliance leader, Sun Jian suddenly felt unwell, plus he has been away from Changsha for more than a few months, there are many things that need to be dealt with. Jian hereby asked for his resignation from the alliance leader and led the troops back to Changsha. ”
Yuan Shao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Wentai, are you really sick?" ”
Sun Jian nodded and said, "Alliance leader, Jian is really unwell. ”
Yuan Shao shook his head, a sneer appeared on his face, and said: "I see that Wentai is not sick, but it is a heart disease that causes Wentai to want to leave Luoyang and return to Changsha!" ”
"Heart disease?"
Among the princes, I don't know who exclaimed, which made the princes all look at each other, looking at Yuan Shao sitting on the main seat inexplicably, and didn't understand why Yuan Shao said such a thing.
Sun Jian's heart tightened, but his face still remained calm.
After a pause, Sun Jian's tone was calm, and he said slowly: "Jian is indeed unwell, why did the alliance leader say this?" ”
Yuan Shao sneered twice, slapped his slender hand on the desk, and suddenly shouted: "Sun Jian, the leader of this alliance sent you to clean the palace, clean up the temple, and restore the imperial tomb, didn't you get something from it?" I advise you to take the initiative to speak out, lest the leader of this alliance expose you and make you lose face in front of the princes. ”
Sun Jian's expression was resolute, and he shook his head and said, "Sun Jian doesn't do bad things, and he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." Whatever the alliance leader wants to say is straightforward, why bother beating around the bush and disgusting people. ”
An intriguing smile appeared on Yuan Shao's face, this Sun Jian is really not afraid of losing face!
After a pause, Yuan Shao looked at the princes and asked, "Dong Zhuo held the emperor and the hundred officials of the imperial court hostage and moved the capital to Chang'an, but there is only one thing missing, can the princes know?" ”
Yuan Shu looked curious and asked, "Alliance leader, what Dingxi is missing?" ”
Gongsun Chan said lightly: "Alliance leader, if you have anything to say, don't beat around the bush." ”
……
The princes of all walks of life have different attitudes, and they all say that they don't know.
Yuan Shao coughed lightly twice and said, "Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, and missed the jade seal of the country. ”
"What, you lost the jade seal of the country?"
"The jade seal of the country!"
……
Yuan Shao's words suddenly set off a monstrous wave among the princes.
Yuan Shao saw the princes whispering, with a look of surprise on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The jade seal of the country is a heavy treasure of the imperial court, and it cannot be lost. Since General Sun got the jade seal of the country, he asked General Sun to hand it over. The leader of this alliance will lead the army to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and after defeating Dong Zhuo, he will return the jade seal to the court and restore the majesty of the court. General Sun had just gotten the jade seal and was about to leave, didn't he have a ghost in his heart? ”
The princes all set their eyes on Sun Jian, waiting for Sun Jian's answer.
Sun Jian's expression was awe-inspiring, and he asked: "Sun Jian is loyal to the country and has never had two hearts, where did the alliance leader hear the news?" Why slander Sun Jian? ”
Yuan Shao said: "General Sun, you led people to clean the palace, isn't it the heirloom jade seal that you caught in the well of the Jianzhang Palace?" ”
Sun Jian was surprised in his heart, he didn't understand such a secret thing, how did Yuan Shao know. However, Sun Jian looked resolute, held his head high, and said loudly: "Alliance leader, Jian said that there is no jade seal, why is the alliance leader pressing step by step?" Didn't the leader of the alliance want to slander Sun Jian and leave Sun Jian in Luoyang when he saw Sun Jian leaving? ”
Yuan Shao sneered: "Sun Jian, the leader of this alliance advises you to hand over the jade seal as soon as possible, so as not to cause disaster." ”
Yuan Shao's words were tough, and he could vaguely feel the threat in his words.
Sun Jian gritted his teeth, stretched out his left hand, palms outward, fingers facing the sky, and swore: "The sky is above, the thick earth is below, if Sun Jian gets the jade seal of the country and hides the jade seal of the country privately, Sun Jian will die under the sword and arrow, and he will not die well." After finishing speaking, Sun Jian shouted: "Sun Jian swore a poisonous oath, you are willing to believe Sun Jian." ”
In the main hall, the princes from all walks of life saw Sun Jian swearing to the sky, and their faces changed greatly.
Kong Rong glanced at Sun Jian, his expression was complicated, and said: "Alliance leader, Sun Taishou swears by the sky, there will definitely be no jade seal." ”
Gongsun Zhan also said: "Alliance leader, General Sun swore a poisonous oath, I believe he did not have a private jade seal. ”
……
All the princes persuaded Yuan Shao, saying that Sun Jian did not have a private jade seal.
The ancients were very in awe of the heavens, and swearing to the heavens was a very serious and solemn thing.
As soon as Sun Jian's oath came out, the princes all believed Sun Jian's words, although the jade seal of the country was important, compared with his life, who would want to joke with his own life? Not only were the princes surprised, but Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others were also taken aback, and they didn't expect Sun Jian to be so decisive and gamble with their lives.
