Zhang Fei failed to kill Lu Bu with all his might, and on the other side, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun also failed to achieve great results.

Guan Yu fought fiercely with a knife, and the two fought for more than ten rounds without winning or losing, and the guards around them also killed each other.

Zhao Yun fought against Gao Shun fiercely, and the sharp stabbing attack made Gao Shun dangerous, but the personal guards around Gao Shun were well-trained and very skillfully coordinated, and Zhao Yun's repeated attacks were blocked, and he was never able to take Gao Shun.

In the end, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun only worked together to defeat the 3,000 cavalry under Lü Bu's department, Lü Bu fled, and an empty city in Luoyang was broken by Guo Peng and Sun Jian.

"Dong Zhuo should have fled in the direction of Chang'an, we can't catch up with the pursuit at this time, it's better to reorganize the troops in Luoyang, wait for the grain and grass to be ready, and then march."

Guo Peng suggested this, Sun Jian felt that Guo Peng was right, so he cleaned up the battlefield with the whole army, and together with Guo Peng, smashed open the gate of Luoyang, and entered the empty abandoned city of Luoyang.

"This ...... How did Ruoyang become like this? ”

Sun Jian was shocked, and was speechless on the spot for a while.

Guo Peng also sighed deeply, thinking that the city he had lived in for several years was destroyed like this, and he also sighed in his heart.

"Probably because Dong Zhuo didn't do anything when he moved the capital, and he directly destroyed Luoyang."

Guo Peng raised his eyes and saw that there were still some palace complexes in the distance that had not been destroyed, and the surrounding houses and buildings were seriously burned, and there was not a single civilian in sight.

"Dong Zhuo! Dong Zhuo!! ”

Sun Jian was furious: "No wonder Lu Bu doesn't defend the city!" Dong Zhuo actually dared to do this! How dare you do that! ”

The capital of the country was destroyed, Sun Jian was in pain and furious, and the generals were also very surprised and angry.

Guo Peng sighed with tears in his eyes, ordered the whole army to clean up the ruins of Luoyang, and then went to the palace with Sun Jian with his personal guards to check the situation.

The army did not dare to enter rashly, so Guo Peng ordered some soldiers to cover their mouths and noses with cloth towels, light torches, and burn all the corpses, so that they could get a glimpse of the whole palace by opening the way with fire little by little.

The opulent palaces of memory are gone, the buildings that symbolize the majesty of the Han dynasty are gone, and only this ruined building foreshadows the bleak future of the empire.

It was cold, dilapidated, desolate, and there was not a trace of life in sight.

Sun Jian sighed deeply, and Guo Peng's generals also sighed, whispering that this dilapidated palace was not even as good as their mansion.

The dignity of the Han family was completely torn apart by Dong Zhuo, not only torn, but also like a play, stepping on his feet and stomping a few times, leaving the world with such a dilapidated appearance.

Guo Peng even felt that the people of the world disdained the majesty of the Han family, and the world was chaotic from then on, starting from seeing this ruin.

The imperial capital, where the emperor lived, was of great importance to the emperor's power and the legal system of the empire.

The imperial capital is destroyed, can the imperial power still exist?

The prestige of the Han family was discredited, and the control of the place plummeted to almost nothing, and the title of the son of Han Tianzi was just a symbolic title, a title enshrined by a careerist in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, just like Zhou Tianzi.

Brother Dong, you really played extraordinarily and completed the task I assigned you......

Guo Peng sighed.

The matter has come to this point, there is nothing to say, Guo Peng and Sun Jian led the troops to personally clean the Han Tai Temple, and sacrificed in the ether prison, leaving a little room for the dignity of the Han family that had nowhere to be placed.

Then he led his troops out of the empty palace and camped on the spot, preparing for the next thing.

"General, Luoyang has become like this, what should we do next, does the general have an idea?"

Sun Jian silently stirred up the fire and looked at Guo Peng, who was speechless.

Guo Peng sighed deeply.

"What else can be done? As courtiers, we can only continue to march, defeat Dong Zhuo, recapture the holy car, and return to the old capital, this is our duty. ”

"But the imperial capital has become like this, even if you welcome back the holy car, what can you do?"

Sun Jian sighed and said: "I really didn't expect Dong Zhuo to be so tyrannical, playing with the court in the palm of his hand, wantonly insulting the emperor, what did he think of the emperor as?!" ”

Sun Jian was very angry.

Guo Peng looked at Sun Jian and patted him on the shoulder.

"Sun Jun, don't be angry, this time we defeated Dong Zhuo, captured Luoyang, east of Hangu Pass, no longer owned by Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo can not continue to dominate the world, I think, as long as we continue to march, we will definitely be able to recover Chang'an, welcome back the holy car, and when the time comes, we can also rebuild Luoyang and stabilize the world, right?"

Sun Jian nodded, indicating that it was okay to do so.

"Let's tell General Yuan about this, and ask General Yuan to send more grain and grass, so that we can continue to march."

"Well, just do it."

So Guo Peng and Sun Jian joined forces and placed the camp around Luoyang City, and then while waiting for news from Yuan Shu, they sent people to the direction of Hangu Pass to explore the fortification of Dong Zhuo's army.

After being stationed for a few days, one morning, just after breakfast, Guo Peng was suddenly stopped by the mysterious Sun Jian.

Sun Jian called Guo Peng to his tent, took out something of great significance from his arms, and put it in the palm of his hand for Guo Peng to see.

"It's this!!"

Guo Peng's eyes widened: "The jade seal of the country? ”

What Sun Jian had in his hand was a small jade seal, almost the size of a matchbox.

This jade seal is four inches in circumference, with five dragons on New York, missing a corner, and the bottom is engraved with words, Guo Peng recognizes that it is the insect and bird seal's "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang".

"Yes, the jade seal of the country was salvaged by my subordinates from a well in the palace this morning, I don't know what's going on, the jade seal of the country will actually be in the well."

Sun Jian's face was full of hesitation: "General, what should I do with this seal?" ”

Guo Peng hesitated for a moment.

I have to say that he almost forgot this episode, forgot that Sun Jian salvaged the bizarre incident of the heirloom jade seal in the well in the palace, and thought it was apocryphal, but the result really appeared in front of him.

After some careful consideration, Guo Peng asked Sun Jian.

"What does Sun Jun plan to do with the heirloom seal?"

"The seal of the country is the emperor's treasure seal, which is of great significance, and I dare not make my own decisions, so I came to ask the general."

Sun Jian threw the question back to Guo Peng.

"Of course, the national seal is to be returned to Your Majesty, but now that Your Majesty is far away in Chang'an, how should we return it?"

Guo Peng looked at Sun Jian again.

"This ...... Only by going to Chang'an and welcoming His Majesty back to the old capital can the jade seal be returned, right? ”

"That's nature."

Guo Peng narrowed his eyes and thought deeply: "What should I do now, what does Sun Jun think?" ”

Sun Jian looked at this small and meaningful treasure seal, pursed his lips, and handed the jade seal to Guo Peng.

"The general is loyal and righteous, and he hopes to defeat the Han thieves and welcome the holy car, and I firmly hope that the general can keep this treasure seal on his behalf, and when the crusade against the Han thieves is successful and His Majesty is protected in the old capital, the treasure seal will be returned to His Majesty."

Guo Peng looked at the heirloom jade seal handed to him by Sun Jian, thought about it again and again, and secretly made a decision in his heart.

"In this case, okay, I will keep this seal on my behalf, and when the crusade against Dong Zhuo is successful, it will be returned to Your Majesty."

"Good."

Sun Jian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and handed over the jade seal to Guo Peng, as if he had lost a hot potato.

"The country is in turmoil, the emperor's treasure seal is here, at this moment, how is His Majesty the emperor in difficulty?"

Guo Peng held the heirloom jade seal and sighed deeply.

"That's what we need to change!"

Sun Jian thought so.
