Chapter 120: Guilty of Guilt
Maybe God can't bear to see this flowery Handong was burned by the flames, and after the soldiers left for half an hour, it rained for a while, Liu Yi was overjoyed to see this, and when the fire was gone, he immediately led his soldiers into the palace. Liu Yi immediately ordered the soldiers to search around the palace and bury the corpses that were burned with the palace, of course, this was just an excuse for him, and the real purpose was the legendary jade seal.
The palace city covers a vast area, and now it is a mess, the soldiers have searched and sorted out for several hours and still found nothing, if it were not for the generals to follow him, Liu Yi wanted to find it in person, but he must not show too much attention in this matter, at this time, there was a horse galloping, saying that the alliance lord and the princes were about to arrive at the east gate, Liu Yi arranged for the soldiers to continue the search, and he led the generals to greet him.
When they arrived at the east gate, Yuan Shao and a group of princes entered the city, they were also extremely shocked after learning about this, and immediately came quickly, although they had a certain psychological preparation, but when they were really there, they could not help but be shocked by the scene in front of them, and some people even scolded them. But Liu Yi checked carefully, but he didn't find Cao Cao's figure in the crowd, and he couldn't help but move in his heart.
"Lord of the Alliance, it rained heavily in the right time, and all the soldiers worked together, and now the fire in Miyagi has been extinguished, huh? Why don't you see Brother Mengde? Liu Yi first reported and asked knowingly.
"Hey, Meng De knew about it when he saw the fire, and he wanted me to chase after it with a large army, but I didn't allow it, but he brought his own people and horses......" Yuan Shao couldn't help but be a little distracted when he said this, and his face flashed with hesitation, thinking that he had some unpleasantness with Cao Cao on this matter.
Liu Yi naturally knew in his heart that Cao Cao saw that Dong Zhuo's men and horses must be unhappy, at this time, if the army pursued, it should be possible, but Yuan Shao was afraid that the enemy would take advantage of it, so Cao Cao led his men and horses to chase and kill, but he was ambushed by Li Ru, defeated and lost, thinking that Cao Cao and himself are also a little friendly, such a heroic figure, even if it is a fast thing to fight on the battlefield in the future, and the book can say that Cao Cao's life is unhindered, just teach him to owe himself a heavenly favor, although for a character like Cao Cao, human favor is nothing, Something is better than nothing!
"Alliance leader, Brother Meng De is in danger of going here, this strategy of moving the capital must come from the hands of Li Ru, this person has far-reaching plans, and he will definitely leave an ambush. Please also send more troops to help. Liu Yi immediately stepped forward and said, showing great concern for his comrades.
Yuan Shao hesitated when he heard this, and fought fiercely for several days, and finally entered Luoyang at this time, and the princes celebrated with their crowns, who else was willing to fight again? Moreover, he also disagreed with Cao Cao.
"The alliance leader doesn't need to worry, I let Xingba and Zilong lead the iron cavalry battalion to go on a journey, and I hope that the alliance leader will help another three thousand cavalry!" Where does Liu Yi not know his thoughts!
Sure enough, Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this: "There is a Xing Bazilong going, and it is the right person, and the cavalry under my command can be temporarily under the two commanders." This matter is all arranged by Lang Sheng, and I will go with you to watch the temple first. "Gan Ning's warm wine strength retreats from Huaxiong, Zhao Yun's courage is not under Gan Ning, and the combat power of the iron cavalry battalion is extremely strong, so Yuan Shao is naturally relieved, and he will go to the palace with everyone!
Looking at the eagerness of the princes, Liu Yi smiled slightly, turned around and told Gan Ning Zhao Yun in detail, people are favors, don't put yourself in, this saving people is also about strategy, Liu Yi has never done a loss-making deal on the battlefield, and when everything is clear, Gan Zhao and the others took the iron cavalry camp and the cavalry under Yuan Shao out of the west gate.
Yuan Shao and the princes from all walks of life came to the ruins of the palace, the princes looked at the rubble everywhere, the main hall and the temple were all destroyed, and they couldn't help but scold Dong Zhuo in unison, and even more Kong Rong and Tao Qian hid their faces and sobbed, facing the west and worshipping, beating their chests and scolding themselves for being incompetent and unable to be loyal to the monarch and protect the country, resulting in this catastrophe for the Han Dynasty.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered someone to help him up, saying that everyone said: "Dong thief is really disobedient to the extreme, and now he is coerced by the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, although we occupy Luoyang, but we have not done our full work, and the princes still need to spare their lives." Set up camp here tonight for the night, and discuss what to do tomorrow. Originally, he wanted to celebrate the victory and show his ability, but in the current situation, how to celebrate this achievement, he also wanted to say this.
At that moment, the princes from all walks of life heard the words and went to arrange people, and at this time, Liu Yi arranged for Gan Ning and Zhao Yun to go to the rescue of Cao Cao and came to the palace again, Yuan Shao said to Liu Yi:
"Lang Sheng is my Han clan, the Son of Heaven was extremely important, although the palace was burned by Dong thieves, but it is inconvenient for me to trespass, bother Lang Sheng to camp here and guard it, and then make plans tomorrow." After saying that, he turned around and left, but Liu Yi got his wish and did not refuse. That night, while he was waiting for Gan Ning and Zhao Yun to turn back, he also hoped that the soldiers stationed in the palace could find the traces of the jade seal, but if he followed the process he knew in his heart, Cao Cao would definitely be rescued by Gan Zhao and the others! And the alliance of princes will soon be disbanded, and the world will fall into a real division of all parties!
This time, he participated in the alliance of princes, aided Sun Jian, defeated Huaxiong, took Bishui, and fought Lu Bu! His reputation has been greatly improved, which is of great benefit to him in the troubled times in the future, and it can be said that the purpose of sending troops has been achieved; As for the jade seal, Liu Yi has his own considerations in his heart, he will not believe in the story of the return of destiny, if this thing is his own power, it will naturally have the icing on the cake effect, but at this time, it will be a crime! However, in this era, the influence of the Mandate of Heaven on a person is still very large, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu are both heroes of the late Han Dynasty, but they are all determined by this thing! It shows the attraction of jade seals to the princes of one side.
In Liu Yi's heart, if he can really find this Han national treasure, he will be feasting his eyes at most! This alliance also gave him his own evaluation of the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao could indeed be the crown of everyone. He is in Yan County, Gongsun Zhan, Han Fu, Yuan Shao, will become their enemies in the future, from the perspective of the terrain alone, Gongsun Zhan will be Liu Yi's first choice to expand his strength, whether this person is persuaded Liu Yu to stand on his own or fight with Yuan Shao will be Liu Yi's opportunity, but General White Horse is not a strong opponent in Liu Yi's mind.
Yuan Shao's family is famous all over the world, there are many protégés and former officials, and he is also known as a hero, and his subordinates are quite talented, so it is not unreasonable for him to be called the hero of the north in history. If it weren't for Cao Mengde, who was slightly above him, and his strategic mistakes, then it was unknown who would be the second out of three in the world! However, the current Yuan Shao doesn't know that he has been regarded by Liu Yi as the number one rival at this stage, and the purpose of his desire to find the jade seal is to dedicate it to Yuan Shao, as the leader of the coalition, this behavior can be said to be very natural, and it can show a public heart! Sun Jian and Yuan Shu all died for the jade seal, so what about Yuan Shao, if he can go to a big rival with a dead thing, why not Liu Langsheng? As for Liu Bei, although he is also a hero, he has not been put in Liu Yi's eyes yet, at least he can't toss anything in the north.
When sending Ganning Zhao Yun to rescue Cao Cao, Liu Yi didn't change his mind in his heart, and simply let the two of them do it when Cao Cao was defeated, and eradicate this biggest enemy in the future! But then I overturned my own idea, it's not that I have any scruples in my heart, I don't have to be merciful in the troubled times, and I know that the future is also my natural advantage! The key point is that he is not sure of killing Liu Yi, and it seems that he will not be an enemy of this person for the time being before his strength is achieved.
After some contemplation, Liu Yi ordered his corporal to camp on the ruins of the palace city tonight, and at night he asked the people of Tian'er to conduct a small and detailed search, after all, it was dark and he couldn't make a big show in one night, otherwise he would be suspected of his intentions. The purpose of the horizontal and vertical coalition has been achieved, and now he is waiting for Yuan Shao and the princes from all walks of life to make a decision, what he should be thinking about now is how to show his strength after returning to Yan County, for the plan of letting Yuan Shao conceive his guilt with the jade seal can only be a must in life, and there is no time in life to force it!
