Chapter 22: Hidden Jade Seal, Sun Jian Returns to Jiangdong

"The alliance of princes, it's ridiculous, if Yuan Shu hadn't cut off our army's food and grass, how could our army have been defeated at Bishui Pass." This is a scar in Sun Jian's heart: "I have no grudge against Dong Zhuo, for the sake of the Han family, although I die without regrets, I don't want to be many villains among the princes." ”

"My lord is cautious." Cheng Pu persuaded.

"Hmph, the princes only know how to feast and drink day and night, why no one pursues Dong Zhuo's old thief, only General Cao and General Lu Gao Yi, chasing and killing Dong thief, isn't it a sigh." The more Sun Jian spoke, the more excited he became.

It was night, and Sun Jian couldn't sleep for a long time.

Suddenly, a sergeant came to report and salvaged the body of a woman in the south well of the palace, and the body was not decomposed, dressed in palace clothes, and carried a bag under it.

When Sun Jian heard this, he hurriedly went to the south of the hall, opened the brocade bag, and saw that there was a small vermilion box inside, locked with a gold lock.

After opening, I saw that it was a jade seal, and I didn't think about it, but after careful observation, I saw that this jade seal was four inches in circumference, and there were five dragons engraved on it, and a corner was missing, and it was inlaid with gold, and there were eight characters in seal inscription: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity."

asked: "Can the public recognize this seal?" ”

Cheng Pu looked at it for a long time and exclaimed: "This is the jade seal of the country." ”

"This jade is the former Bian He under Jing Mountain, see the phoenix perched on the stone, and carry into the King of Chu Wen. Solve it, and get jade. In the twenty-sixth year of Qin, the good work was carved into a jade seal, and Qin Xiang Li Si engraved eight characters on it, "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity"; Today's award to the lord is the luck of my Jiangdong, and the lord should return to Jiangdong as soon as possible. ”

Sun Jian hurriedly put away the jade seal, "That's right, the princes are not in harmony, it is difficult to make a big difference, it is better to go back to Jiangdong." ”

The sergeants present were then ordered not to divulge the information.

There was one person in the army, who was from Yuan Shao Township, who secretly left the camp in the middle of the night and rushed to Yuan Shao's camp.

After Yuan Shao listened, his eyes showed greed, and the jade seal of the country was a treasure, and it was rumored that if he got the jade seal, he would have great luck, and ordered someone to reward the soldiers and place them in the army.

The next day, Sun Jian asked Yuan Shao for his resignation on the grounds that Jiangdong was busy with affairs and he was unwell for several days.

Yuan Shao sneered: "I know why Wentai is unwell. ”

"Why?" Sun Jian asked.

The other princes in the tent also cast curious glances, when did Yuan Shao also learn to see people.

"It's because of the jade seal of the country." Yuan Shao snorted coldly.

Sun Jian was shocked in his heart, his face changed slightly, and he said calmly: "Why did the alliance leader say this? ”

Yuan Shaozheng said: "Today's soldiers are fighting thieves, eliminating harm for the country, and the jade seal of the country is the treasure of the imperial court. General Sun hid the jade seal, what was his intention? ”

"How can Jade Seal be here with this general, the alliance leader Hugh wants to listen to the villain's provocation." Sun Jian refused to admit it.

Yuan Shao ordered the soldiers on the side to come out that night to identify, but Sun Jian just didn't admit it, the two sides were tense, and the princes hurriedly persuaded him.

Leaving the big tent of the Chinese army, Sun Jian ordered his troops and horses to leave Luoyang.

Yuan Shao was furious, wrote a book, and sent his henchmen to Jingzhou overnight to send it to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.

Yuan Shao saw this and knew that the coalition army was coming to an end, so he led his troops to pull out the village and return to the station.

Let's say that after Lu Bu gathered his soldiers and horses, he led the cavalry to continue to pursue Dong Zhuo, and the corpses of the people could be seen everywhere along the way, which was shocking, Dong Zhuo moved away hundreds of thousands of young people in Luoyang on this trip, and how much will be left after he really returns to Chang'an.

The people are innocent, they shouldn't pay for the war, Lu Bu suddenly had the idea of saving the people escorted by Dong Zhuo in his heart, and the state is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not a problem to settle some people.

Xu Rong fled all the way back to the army, looking panicked, and the strength of the Bingzhou cavalry made him feel frightened, he thought that the Liangzhou cavalry was the most elite cavalry in the world, but he didn't expect to encounter something more powerful.

"Lord Xu, who are you?" Li Su heard the soldier's report and hurriedly greeted him, but what he didn't expect to see was a group of defeated soldiers.

"Lord Li, hurry up and ask Xiangguo for help, and the state army is here, cavalry, a lot of cavalry." Xu Rong said incoherently.

Li Su smiled secretly in his heart and said, "Lord Xu, Xiangguo is far away from here, and there are people in the middle, and it is not possible to reach the rescue for a while. ”

"What then?" Xu Rong didn't hear anything wrong with Li Su's tone, in normal times, he wouldn't look at a character like Li Su, and the state army would kill him at any time, he didn't think that Li Su's two thousand men and horses could resist it.

"If you surrender, Dong Zhuo's old thief will go against the sky, and he will already be angry and resentful, and he will definitely not end up if he follows him." Li Su stared at Xu Rong and said slowly.

"You...... You traitor. Xu Rong gritted his teeth angrily, drew his sword and said, "Take down Li Su." ”

Li Su snorted coldly: "Lord Xu, do you think my sergeants will listen to you?" They have followed a certain renunciation of darkness and turned to the light. ”

"You, you." Xu Rong never imagined that Li Su, who usually laughed at everyone when he saw him, would have such a means to persuade the Liangzhou sergeant to surrender to Lu Bu.

"Tie them up." Li Su gave an order, and the sergeant behind him untied Xu Rong and the others like wolves, and the knots were sturdy.

"The main soldiers and horses will arrive later, and General Zhang will lead the troops to surrender, which is a great achievement." Li Su said.

"There are many kind words from Lord Lao Li in front of General Lu." Zhang Yi hugged his fists, he was the general of the Liangzhou Army, and he was the one who followed Dong Zhuo earlier, but he was never reused in Dong Zhuo's army, and Hua Xiong at the same time was already in a high position, but he was still the marching Sima who led a thousand troops.

Because of the same experience, the two talked very happily, poured out their unhappiness to each other, that day Lu Bu and he planned in Luoyang City, he found Zhang Yi in private, and after the two summed it up, they decided to surrender to Lu Bu and break away from the Liangzhou army.

Hua Xiong and the others met Dong Zhuo and described in detail last night's battle, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and said: "Wen You has no last resort, what kind of princes are allied forces, but they are just chickens and dogs." ”

"Thanks to Xiangguo's praise." A smile appeared on Li Ru's face.

"Command the army, speed up the advance, and rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible." Dong Zhuo ordered.

With Li Su's cooperation, Lu Bu led the men and horses to quickly approach Dong Zhuo's team escorting the baggage.

"Stop!" Yaoyao saw Li Su leading the team to come, and a chief in charge of escorting the baggage said vigilantly.

"A certain is Li Su, there is something important to see Xiangguo." Li Su said.

"Who's behind you?" More than 2,000 soldiers and horses are not a small number, and even the chief does not dare to call the shots.

"Oh, this is Lord Xu Rong's soldiers and horses, who defeated the princes' chasing soldiers last night and returned with a great victory." Li Su explained.

"Wait a minute, wait for the villain to report to the general." The soldier thought it would be better to inform Niu Fu.
