Chapter 61: The Secret of the Jade Seal
Hua Xiong picked up more than 4,000 subordinates, and Guan Zhang and Zhao each received more than 1,000 soldiers, plus the previous soldiers and horses, each of them also had almost 2,000 soldiers and horses.
Not counting the White Horse Righteous Servants, Liu Bei's total strength now reaches 10,000.
Soon, Hua Xiong showed Liu Bei, Li Chuan and others what the elite of Xiliang was.
Under the leadership of Hua Xiong, the vitality of more than 4,000 people gathered and rose into the air, forming a fiery red tiger with wings, condensed and fierce.
"This is the posture that the world's first elite should have!" Liu Bei sighed in admiration, looked sideways at Li Chuan beside him and asked, "Lack of river, what kind of battle formation is this?" β
"Tiger wing formation, strengthen the defense of the wings, and put the attack point in the middle." Li Chuan didn't read so many books in vain, and he still had some understanding of the battle array, but he just couldn't arrange it himself.
"The strength of the battle array is really strong." Although Liu Bei couldn't understand it very well, he felt the power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the leadership of Hua Xiong, and if he let him face it himself, it was estimated that he would be killed.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also frowning, of course they also felt the strength of the soldiers and horses led by Hua Xiong, if they let them make a move, although they could also defeat Hua Xiong, but they would have to pay a big price, it was not as easy as killing the rangers.
If Hua Xiong is allowed to have two or three thousand more soldiers and horses, even if Guan Zhang and the two face each other, it is estimated that they will be hated.
"Zijian, who taught you this Tiger Wing Array?" Li Chuan asked loudly.
"Li Ru." Hua Xiong said.
"Sure enough, this guy is still a little expected." Li Chuan said with a smile, "Okay, let's go back!" Let's go back and see the bait left by Li Ru! β
"Bait?" Liu Bei's face was puzzled, and the others also looked at Li Chuan for some reason.
"Let's go! You'll find out when you go back. Li Chuan deliberately sold a pass, and left first on the wolf ride, and suddenly turned around and said, "Zijian, when I go back, let me study the Xiliang Iron Ride." β
Liu Bei and his party came back happily, just in time to see Cao Cao walking out of the camp with a gloomy face.
Liu Bei and Cao Cao glanced at each other, remained silent and didn't speak, as if they hadn't seen it, and passed by, because Zhao Yun and Cao Cao had a holiday.
In the tent, it is now the time when the singing, dancing and drinking banquet is very lively, and it is estimated that Cao Cao has just been sneered at by the other princes, so he is so unhappy.
Liu Bei and the others did not enter the camp to drink and brag with other princes, but returned to their camp.
Early the next morning, Yuan Shao summoned all the princes in the tent.
Sun Jian also came, but what he didn't know was that the secret of getting the jade seal had already been known by Yuan Shao.
"Alliance leader, now that I'm asking for a director, I'll go back to Changsha to recuperate first if I'm injured." Sun Jian walked up to Yuan Shao and hugged his fists, and said without changing his face.
"Huh! I don't think it's easy to see Wentai's disease! It's Jade Seal disease, right? Anxious to go back and dig for treasure? Yuan Shao sneered.
"What?"
"Really?"
ββ¦β¦β
All the princes were shocked and angry, and they all stood up, and there was an uproar in an instant, and the eyes that looked at Sun Jian changed.
Liu Guanzhang and the others also got up, but Liu Bei was stopped by Li Chuan and whispered in his ear: "This is Li Ru's bait, whoever takes it will die." β
"Whew!" Liu Bei's eyes were slightly red, he took a deep breath to calm the anger in his heart, and then he was silent, looking at Sun Jian's eyes that were terrifyingly cold.
Li Chuan nodded secretly when he saw Liu Bei's performance on the side, he didn't need a lord who couldn't even resist the temptation, he would die faster like that.
"Alliance leader, where did you start with this?" Sun Jian was also shocked, but he still pretended to really not know about it, and even kept coughing, opening his mouth and coughing up a lot of blood.
Li Chuan silently praised Sun Jian in his heart, his acting skills are good, but it's a pity that he underestimated the allure of the jade seal!
"Sun Wentai, don't pretend, what do you want to do? Want to swallow the jade seal? Do you still take the Han Dynasty in your eyes? Yuan Shao was shocked, the king's anger scattered, and he angrily scolded Sun Jian, the angry expression on his face did not seem to be fake, so he almost pointed his sword at Sun Jian.
The princes watched coldly, but no one had the intention of letting Sun Jian go, and there must be an explanation for this matter today.
"I don't understand what the alliance leader said, when did I get the jade seal? I don't even know it! Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, and asked with a confused expression.
"You're still fucking pretending to me? Take it out quickly, lest you bring evil upon yourself. The jade seal is the important weapon of the country, how can outsiders be touched? It should be handed over to the alliance leader for safekeeping, and when Dong Zhuo is defeated the next day, I will personally return it to the Son of Heaven. Yuan Shao was so angry that he even scolded the swear words, which shows how attractive the jade seal is.
"Sun Wentai, do you think your strength can swallow the hidden treasure of the jade seal alone? I think none of the princes here will agree, who doesn't know that the jade seal hides the secret left by Han Gaozu, and advises you not to be too naΓ―ve, so as not to kill yourself. β
Yuan Shu saw that Yuan Shao had already torn his face, and he couldn't help but come out and interject, the threat in his words was self-evident, this guy's ability to stir up can be described as very strong.
All the princes knew that there was a big secret hidden in the jade seal, and they all said that whoever won the jade seal won the world, but Dong Zhuo did not crack this secret, so he couldn't take the world.
Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, once used the jade seal of the country to suppress the water demon, and said that there is a secret treasure left by the ancestral dragon in the jade seal, and whoever cracks the secret of the jade seal will have the power to dominate the world.
"Alliance leader, now that Luoyang has been taken, Dong Zhuojun has been defeated. I'm going to leave soon, so please keep some face for other things, and don't let Dong Zhuo see the joke. Liu Bei stood up at the right time and said with his fists clenched.
The eyes of the other princes looking at him suddenly changed from jealousy to enthusiasm, the descendants of the royal family are not fighting, then for them, the threat has decreased a lot, after all, the generals under Liu Bei are very fierce, and no one dares to provoke him easily.
"Okay, since that's the case, it's time to get to the point." Yuan Shao's gaze at Liu Bei was a lot more pleasing to the eye, and it was really enough to know each other, but this Sun Jian didn't give him face too much, so he waved his hand, "Bring people out for me, I see if he has anything else to say." β
When Sun Jian saw that person, he hated his teeth and wanted to crack, that person was his personal guard, and he was also present when he fished out the jade seal, Sun Jian was angry, and he was about to draw his sword and behead that person.
"What's ugly about Yan Liangwen? Want to kill my sergeant? They must be deceiving me. Yuan Shao suddenly shouted, and Yan Liangwen appeared on his left and right sides in an instant, drawing his sword to confront Sun Jian.
Seeing this, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang also pulled out their weapons to protect Sun Jian's side, and in an instant, the entire big tent was tense, and there was a tendency to start doing it if they didn't agree with each other.
"I didn't get the jade seal at all, what can I give you?" Sun Jian stiffened his neck, and he was also determined not to admit it, and swore to the sky, "If I get the jade seal and hide it privately, he will definitely die under the arrows one day." β
After Sun Jian finished speaking, no matter how everyone reacted, he left directly with Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, and no one in the camp dared to stop them.
Because the other princes were thinking, since Sun Jian had made such a vicious oath, there must be no jade seal, and the most important thing is that it is not easy to start here, and it will fall into a big scuffle!
So far, as long as Yuan Shao knows that Sun Jian really got the jade seal, everyone else is just suspicious.
Even Liu Bei only knew about it when Li Chuan said it, but he didn't really verify whether Sun Jian got the jade seal, but Liu Bei felt that Li Chuan said it, so it was probably true.
After Sun Jian left the camp, he quickly left with the soldiers who had already been prepared.
