Luoyang, which is prosperous at sunset, is a ruined wall at the moment, and the embers of flames are everywhere.

Wei Yan rode to the palace, where only the blackened and collapsed palace walls remained, as well as some charcoal left over from burning.

He looked at the deserted palace and the devastated ruins, and sighed.

"Lord...... It's all burned down, and we've seen it nearby, but there's not a single living person. Zhang Liao said with some loss.

When he followed Ding Yuan not long ago, Luoyang was so prosperous, how much time has it been, and now that he has come back, there are no more people here.

Wei Yan dismounted and handed the reins to Pei Yuanshao, he looked at the collapsed hall in front of him, and picked up a plaque from the ground that was half burned.

There was still one Yongzi left on the plaque, and the rest of the plaque had been burned to ashes.

This is Yongxing Palace, which was originally the dormitory where the young emperor Liu Wei lived, and Wei Yan was still trusted by Liu Wei at that time, and often went in and out here.

What a majestic palace was at that time......

Wei Yan threw away the plaque, walked out and said, "Let people clean up here......"

"Lord...... It's all burned like this, is there any need to clean it up? ”

Wei Yan sighed slightly, "Clean up, no matter what you say here, ...... here"

"Yes."

"That's right," Wei Yan turned around and said, "Let people take a look at all the wells in the palace." ”

"Look at the well?" The crowd was puzzled.

"It must have been a lot of chaos, maybe someone was going to throw something important into the well." Wei Yan said.

Although few people would feel that they could really fish out the treasure from the well, this was Wei Yan's order, and someone still did it.

Although most of the people in Luoyang were moved away by Dong Zhuo, there were still many people who stayed.

Most of them were ragged and withered, without a home or food.

Wei Yan asked the soldiers to give them a portion of the surplus food to help them, and helped them build temporary shelters.

Wei Yan was helping to build the shack, and suddenly Pei Yuanshao ran over with a roar, pulled Wei Yan up and left, "Boss Wei, come with me......"

"What's the fuss?" Wei Yan asked.

Pei Yuanshao swallowed and foamed, and said nervously: "Don't ask yet, you'll know when you go." ”

Wei Yan was also a little nervous when Pei Yuanshao was nagging him, "What is Ma De doing, it's like being a thief." ”

They came to a courtyard, where there were already many people, including Dian Wei and other major generals, and soldiers guarding the periphery.

When they saw Wei Yan coming, they quickly got out of the way and let Wei Yan in.

"Lord, look what this is." Xi Zhicai trembled and held a box.

Wei Yan looked at everyone's excited and solemn expressions, and only then did he notice that there was a well next to him.

"Could it be ......" Wei Yan's heart jumped uncontrollably.

He couldn't wait to open the box, only to see a yellow silk scarf wrapped in an orange-yellow, crystal clear seal, placed in the box.

Wei Yan carefully held this seal in his hand and looked at it.

This is a square seal, four inches in circumference, with five dragons coiled on it.

Wei Yan turned the seal around, and his excited hands trembled a little, because the eight seal characters "Grant orders to the sky, and live forever" were clearly engraved on it.

"It's the jade seal of the country, my lord." Xi Zhicai said excitedly.

"Yes, it is indeed a jade seal of the country." Wei Yan nodded.

"Is this really a national jade seal?" Pei Yuanshao was curious and wanted to touch it with his hands.

"Don't move." Wei Yan glared at him.

"Lord, this heirloom jade seal is a national treasure, and now it has fallen into the hands of the lord, it is God's will, it seems that it is ......" Zhang Liao said here and peeked at Wei Yan, wanting to see how Wei Yan reacted.

The others also understood what Zhang Liao meant, and they all paid attention to Wei Yan's face to determine Wei Yan's intentions.

However, Wei Yan shook his head and said, "Although the jade seal is important, it can't play a key role, so don't talk about this matter in the future." ”

"Why?" Dian Wei asked.

Wei Yan didn't answer, and looked at Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhi understood what Wei Yan meant, and some things couldn't be said by himself, so he said: "If the name is not right, the words are not good, we have to wait for the opportunity, no one is allowed to say today's things, you must know that the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty, don't invite disaster because of this jade seal." ”

Wei Yan knew that this matter could not be kept no matter what, and sooner or later it would be known by others.

In history, Sun Jian put down a seal collar after getting the jade seal, but it didn't take long for someone to tell Yuan Shu about it.

"This thing can't be put on us, it has to be given away." Wei Yan said.

"Send it out? Boss, are you confused, why should we give away the jade seal that we finally obtained. Pei Yuanshao pouted and said.

The others almost had the same idea as Pei Yuanshao, and no one was willing to hand over what they had in hand.

"I think my lord is right!" Xi Zhicai stood up to support Wei Yan.

"Mr. Xi, why are you confused!" Liao Hua usually has the best relationship with Xi Zhicai, and at this time, he can't help but have a very good opinion on his words.

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, what's the use of putting this thing in our hands?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they have no idea.

Pei Yuanshao was unconvinced and said, "That can't be given away." ”

"You," Wei Yan shook his head, "Of course I don't want to give away the jade seal, but I want to exchange it for what we need." ”

"What do we need?" Pei Yuanshao wondered.

"Not bad." Wei Yan nodded.

"We don't lack anything, do we?" Dian Wei said.

Wei Yan smiled and asked, "Is there really nothing missing?" ”

"Isn't there a shortage?"

At this time, Xu Huang's eyes suddenly lit up, "We still lack a piece of territory, a piece of territory that can allow us to gain a foothold and grow." ”

Wei Yan and Xi Zhicai looked at each other and smiled.

"Gongming is right, we just want to exchange this unusable jade seal for a foundation we need, otherwise even if we have a jade seal in our hands, we will only keep it for others." Wei Yan said with a smile.

"I see, it's still the lord's long-term thinking." Zhang Liao was sincerely admired.

"Do you want to discuss this matter with Gong Lu?" Zhou Cang asked.

Wei Yan shook his head, "No need, Duke Lu is an upright person, so don't embarrass him." ”

Although Wei Yan knew that the gag order did not have much effect, he still issued the gag order, just to delay a little time as much as possible.

Not long after Wei Yan entered Luoyang, Sun Jian also followed.

And in Jizhou, a life-and-death drama is being staged.

Gongsun Zan was overjoyed by Yuan Shao's news, he had coveted Jizhou for a long time, and immediately raised troops to attack Anping, and Han Fu was defeated.

Gongsun Zhan Chen Bing was on the border of Jizhou, in the name of crusading against Dong Zhuo, and looked at the entire territory of Jizhou.
