Chapter 86: The Battle for the Jade Seal

Luoyang, Tianjilou, the princes quarreled again, this time the two sides of the quarrel, on one side is the alliance leader Yuan Shao, and on the other side is the 'Jiangdong Tiger' Sun Jian!

The two sides quarreled very fiercely, and it had almost developed to the point of fighting each other, and the cause was for a stone, but it was not an ordinary stone, it also had an official name--- the jade seal of the country!

It turned out that last night there was a fellow villager of Yuan Shao ran out of Sun Jian's army, and brought him an amazing news, after Sun Jian entered Luoyang, he was also busy leading the troops to extinguish the fire for the first time, and as a result, when the soldiers were digging the well to get water, they found a female corpse in palace clothes inside, and a brocade box was hung on the neck of the female corpse, which was sealed with a gold lock outside, and when it was opened, it was a gold-inlaid jade seal with five dragons coiled and a corner missing below, and there were eight big characters on the jade seal--- 'Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!'

Even if there is no knowledge, you also know what these eight words mean, the jade seal of the country, after hundreds of years of inheritance, is no longer as simple as a token, but has become a divine object, is a symbol of the monarch's divine acceptance, that is the certificate of the true dragon son of heaven, with it it is the real emperor, otherwise it can only be a shameful tabula rasa emperor!

Sun Jian was surprised and overjoyed and naturally hid the heirloom jade seal, as for where it was hidden, except for himself and the eldest son Sun Ce, no one else knew it, obviously Sun Jian wanted to turn the 'heirloom jade seal' into their grandson's 'heirloom jade seal'! ’

As a result, I didn't expect that one of the soldiers who salvaged the jade seal was Yuan Shao's fellow villager, and this person immediately ran to Yuan Shao, trying to use this information as an opportunity for himself to ascend to the throne.

"The jade seal of the country is the thing of the son of heaven of the Han family, if the son is hijacked by Dong Zhuo and goes west today, the jade seal should be temporarily placed here by the leader of this alliance, and after the world is stable, it will be returned to the son of heaven of the Han family, and it will be handed over to me quickly!" Yuan Shao's eyes were almost green, so he simply tore his face and directly demanded it in the name of the alliance leader's righteousness!

That's the jade seal of the country, as long as you have it, who you want to set up as the emperor, it will be more straightforward, to be honest, for the current little emperor Liu Xie, Yuan Shao always has a knot in his heart that has not been solved, the original general He Jin and the 'Ten Standing Servants' fought for power, he Yuan Shao is on the side of He Jin to support the succession of the emperor, now Liu Bian is dead, Liu Xie ascended the throne, who dares to guarantee that the little emperor will not find his own account when he grows up, so Yuan Shao has always wanted to support another emperor, an obedient emperor!

This is Yuan Shao's true plan, and it is also one of the reasons why he is unwilling to go west to pursue Dong Zhuo, what he is afraid of is to welcome Liu Xie back, and his future will be bleak!

"It's a big joke, I don't know where the alliance leader heard the rumors, the jade seal of the country is the treasure of the Han family, Sun Jian has never seen it, I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding!" Sun Jian can't admit it when he is killed, it's not a pear, let it go, and it can also get a good reputation of 'humility', that is the jade seal of the country, if you get it, then you have the capital to be the emperor, Sun Jian wants to pass it on to his son, and the son will pass it on to his grandson, the throne, who doesn't want to do it!

Besides, the jade seal of the country was fished out of the well by himself, which was given to him by God, otherwise the princes of the Eighteen Roads were taking water to extinguish the fire, why did they catch it themselves, this shows that they have a destiny, how can the destiny of heaven be easily let out, even if you lose your life, you can't lose the jade seal!

"Rumors? Hehe, do you know this person? Saying that, Yuan Shao raised his hand and pointed, and a person wearing Jiangdong Army armor walked out behind him, it was Yuan Shao's fellow villager, this person's name was Song Yang, he was also burly, but his eyes flickered, and he smiled cheaply, and he looked like a slippery person. °C∮ 8°C∮8°C∮ read °C∮ book, .⌒.o≈

"The little Song Yang has seen General Sun, and the villain was on the side when he fished out the jade seal, and the female corpse was dragged up by the villain with a rope, general, you can recognize it!"

"This ...... You ......" Sun Jian was not a person who could speak well, but now that people even pulled out the witness, he suddenly froze somewhere, sweating nervously.

And Yuan Shao sat there majestically, thinking about what he should do after the heirloom jade seal was in hand......

"A deserter in the army is just a deserter, and he dares to bewitch the public!" At the critical moment, Sun Ce suddenly jumped out, took a few steps to the front of Song Yang, pulled out his sword suddenly, waved his hand is a sword, and directly cut off Song Yang's head, and the head of the bloody forest rolled all the way to Yuan Shao's feet, and he didn't blink an eye!

"Bold boy, dare to do this?" Yuan Shao was suddenly furious, waved his hand and pulled out the sword on his waist, Sun Ce killed in front of him, and now he would die without proof!

Sun Jian's side naturally did not show weakness, the person was dead, and he still used the excuse of executing deserters to kill, Zhengda Guangming, and what was terrible, they also drew their swords and confronted Yuan Shao's subordinates.

The two sides are tense, and the rush is about to break out!

"No, never, it's all your own horses, why bother with swords? …… Put it down! The princes rushed up and began to persuade, but in general, everyone still favored Sun Jian's side, insisting that he did not have a jade seal, among which Yuan Shu was the most determined, accusing Yuan Shao of not bullying the small with the big and asking for a jade seal out of nothing, people said that there was no that is no, he Yuan Shu wanted to help his relatives this time!

Seeing Yuan Shu's righteous words, people who don't know are afraid that they will really be deceived by him, as for why he would do this, the reason is very simple, who doesn't want the jade seal of the country, today it seems that this jade seal either fell into the hands of Sun Jian, or fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, compared to the two, Yuan is strong and Sun is weak, so if the jade seal falls into the hands of Yuan Shao, it will be a mud cow into the sea, and it will never be able to get it again, but if it is in Sun Jian's place, hehe, don't you still have a chance......

Most of the princes also have this idea, who can get mixed into this position, who doesn't have a little calculation in their hearts!

In the end, under everyone's persuasion, Yuan Shao had no choice but to give up, if he really committed public anger, he was not easy to do as the leader of the alliance; In order to show his innocence, Sun Jian made a poisonous oath in public, if he hid the jade seal, he would die under the arrows, which was the most vicious curse for a general.

Anyone who is a soldier knows that a general is not afraid of a thousand troops, but is afraid of an inch of iron, and "inch iron" refers to a cluster of arrows, or to be more precise, it is a cold arrow; the battlefield is intricate, and no one knows when a cold arrow will fly over and take your life......

At the beginning, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was accidentally hit by a cold arrow in the battle against the traitor 'King of Jiujiang' Yingbu, and finally died of injuries, even the emperor couldn't avoid something, who can not be afraid?

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Report, General Cao's pursuit of Dong Zhuo failed, and the defeated army retreated!" As soon as the matter of the jade seal had subsided, a herald suddenly ran in and reported to the princes a piece of news that I didn't know if it was good or bad!

At this time, everyone remembered that they still had an ally to pursue Dong Zhuo, although they lost the battle, but it was a hundred times stronger than none of them in Luoyang City, Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered the wine, ready to give Cao Cao a shock, and at the same time, he also wanted to take the opportunity of the banquet to beat Sun Jian again, and he was not dead set on the jade seal of the country!

"Haha! …… Are you all right? Cao Cao didn't look like a defeated general, on the contrary, he walked in laughing, covered in blood and dust, but compared with these well-dressed princes, he stood up and raised his head!

Xiao Yi was wearing a cold iron armor with a claw pattern, holding a sword to cut Jiao, and he was inseparable from Cao Cao, and anyone could see that the relationship between the two was intimate!

"Meng De is frightened!" The princes greeted in unison.

"It doesn't matter, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and a little setback is nothing. Cao Cao sat down in his seat, just drinking glass after glass, and he was very disappointed in these princes.

And the princes looked at Cao Cao, and then looked at Xiao Yi who was standing behind him, and scolded in unison in their hearts, "Although you have suffered a defeat, you have won Xiao Yi, a general, and you don't lose at all, I knew that this was the case, and Lao Tzu also led his troops to chase after him, and got a 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang', which is better than thousands of troops and horses......"

Zhang Yang of the Assassin History of Bingzhou was even more defeated at this time, Xiao Yi didn't look at him from the time he came in to the present, Zhang Yang knew that he had lost this general forever, which couldn't help but remind him of Xiao Yi's good coming, giving advice to him, and fighting on the battlefield for him, without Xiao Yi here, he had already been cut down by Dong Zhuo, where could he still get the high position of the Assassin of Bingzhou?

"Regret! …… But it's too late! Zhang Yang knows Xiao Yi's character, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, since he voted for Cao Cao, he will never return to the Bingzhou Corps, "It's all Yuan Shu, you villain, provoked it, and Lao Tzu lost a general, and there will be no Great Wall in Bingzhou from now on......"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang glared at Yuan Shu fiercely, and he really wanted to bite off a piece of his meat......

Cao Cao's alcohol consumption could only be regarded as medium to high, and he drank more than a dozen glasses in a row, plus he had just returned from the battle, and he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he soon got drunk......

One of the reasons why men love wine so much is that they can confide in the truth after drinking!

"I'm waiting for the righteousness of Shixing, getting rid of thieves for the country, and since the princes have taken Luoyang, why do they just stand still and sit back and watch Dong Zhuo move the capital to Chang'an?" Cao Cao staggered up from his seat, holding a wine glass in one hand, and pointing to the princes with the other hand and continued, "My original intention was to let the 'primordial' lead the army to Mengjin, and the rest of the people were stationed in Chenggao to control its danger. ”

"Today, the princes are hesitant to advance, each to protect their strength, to disappoint the hope of the world, to steal shamefully, to steal shamefully!" Speaking of this, Cao Cao's drunkenness swelled up, and he fell backwards, fortunately, Xiao Yi's hands were quick and he held on, Xiao Yi already knew the strategy Cao Cao just stated, I have to say, it's really a high, this is a typical psychological warfare!

Cao Cao knew that the real combat effectiveness of the coalition army was not as good as the Xiliang soldiers, so he advocated that the troops should be divided into three ways, approaching step by step, not fighting hard with Dong Zhuo, but pressing the opponent's living space little by little, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, the foothold was not stable, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were also watching, as long as the princes surrounded it, there would inevitably be infighting in Chang'an City, and the Xiliang soldiers would also lose their fighting spirit, and then kill Dong Zhuo, effortlessly!

It's a pity that the great opportunity was missed by these 'pig teammates', shaking his head, Xiao Yi picked up Cao Cao, no longer looked at those disgraced princes, stepped out of the Tianji Tower, the princes begged for Dong, it was completely over, and it was time to go their own way in the future......
