Chapter 433: Sun Jian Hides the Jade Seal
readx;??? Sun Jian didn't know that Cao Cao had just entered the city and experienced a catastrophe of life and death, he only wanted to clean up Luoyang as soon as possible, so that the army could pass, but after seeing the miserable scene in Luoyang, he changed his mind and divided his troops to clean up the people in distress.

When I arrived at the palace, I saw that there were several warehouses where timber was stacked, so the fire continued to burn, and it could spread to other places at any time.
Sun Jian immediately ordered his subordinates: "Don't be stunned here, quickly find out if there are any wells around, and immediately fetch water to put out the fire!" ”
"No!" The crowd did not dare to slack off, and immediately dispersed.
At this time, the night had gradually worsened, Sun Jian looked at the raging fire in front of him, and couldn't help sighing: "I don't want the Han family to be in the world for four hundred years, and now it will be ruined like this, but it's a pity that Zhang Wen didn't listen to my advice before, if he killed Dong Zhuo, how could he have today?" ”
Behind him, the corners of Cheng Pu's mouth squirmed: "Why should the general sigh, some fates are doomed, the decline of the Han family is not someone's fault, don't you know the truth that prosperity and decline, and the moon is profitable?" The world is impermanent, the former Qin Shi Huang proclaimed himself the first emperor, implying that the Qin Dynasty can last forever, and in the end, it is not because of the tyranny * II died, even the jade seal that has been used in this dynasty is also the jade seal made by Qin Shi Huang, which is really a great irony! ”
At this time, the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion came with buckets of water, and it turned out that there were several wells nearby, presumably for the purpose of fighting the fire.
Everyone poured water together, and went back to fetch water in batches, the whole process was orderly, and the fire gradually decreased.
Sun Jian's expression was still as solemn as just now, and he continued Cheng Pu's words: "Mr. is really knowledgeable, not only is he excellent in martial arts, but he also knows so many allusions, Sun really admires!" ”
Cheng Pu smiled and touched his beard: "This is nothing, in our hometown, everyone knows this allusion, but there is another allusion, the general definitely doesn't know!" ”
"Oh?" Sun Jian couldn't help but be a little interested when Cheng Pu said this, he turned to look at Cheng Pu and asked, "Sun has also read some books, I don't know what interesting allusions Mr. wants to say?" ”
Cheng Pu coughed, and then said: "Everyone knows that Zhang Liang plotted to assassinate Qin Shi Huang during the Eastern Tour, but the reason for Qin Shi Huang's Eastern Tour was because a meteorite fell in this place, which said that Qin Shi Huang would die on a certain day, month, and year. Eight words of longevity and Yongchang! ”
Sun Jian nodded when he heard this: "I know about Qin Shihuang's murder, and I also know about the jade seal, but I can't imagine that these two things are still connected, it's really surprising!" ”
Cheng Pu said with a smile: "However, even so, the Qin Dynasty finally perished, and the interesting thing is that the time of Qin Shi Huang's death happens to coincide exactly with the time written on that meteorite, which is really intriguing!" ”
Sun Jian turned around and sighed: "Yes, Sun now understands what Mr. said about his life!" ”
At this time, the fire was finally extinguished, but the soldiers who were fetching water were talking in the distance.
When Sun Jian saw it, he couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "What are you talking about here? Have you forgotten the rules of the Tiger Battalion? ”
The soldiers immediately stopped a round, but a lieutenant general stepped forward and said to Sun Jian: "General, the five-colored light emitted from under a well in the southeast is really incredible, I don't know why, so I will discuss it here!" ”
Sun Jian and Cheng Pu immediately brought people to the place where the soldiers said, and sure enough, they saw a five-colored light faintly shining from a distance, reflecting the surrounding brilliance, and the two were slightly surprised, and immediately hurried over.
A group of soldiers from the Tiger Battalion were already standing, but they were also amazed by the strange sight.
The light came from an inconspicuous well with a stone pressed against it, and it was when the soldiers moved the stone to get water that the soldiers discovered the unusual light.
Sun Jian walked to the well, glanced at Cheng Pu, looked into the well, and saw a woman dressed in a gorgeous costume under the sparkling water surface, and she seemed to be holding something in her hand, and the five-colored light came out of this thing.
"Salvage it!" Sun Jian knew that things must not be simple, and immediately ordered the soldiers.
"No!" Among the men and horses of the Tiger Battalion, he immediately picked out a man with good water quality, tied a rope to himself, jumped into the well, dived to the bottom of the well, and salvaged the woman.
And Cheng Pu immediately glanced at the other soldiers, and everyone understood, and immediately sealed off the vicinity.
Sun Jian was also a curious person, he saw the soldiers salvage this woman and place it next to the well, he didn't think that this woman actually had a beautiful face, as if she was alive, with gorgeous and bright clothes on her body, obviously a princess.
However, Sun Jian's attention was naturally the box in the princess's hand, and a soldier had already taken it and opened it to see.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, everyone present exclaimed in unison:
"Jade Seal!"
Although Sun Jian and others have never seen the jade seal, they all recognize the eight words on it: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!" ”
Cheng Pu smiled happily: "What a coincidence, just now we were talking about this heirloom jade seal, I didn't expect that we were really destined to see it!" ”
After a short period of surprise, Sun Jian came back to his senses: "The lord has rescued the young emperor back to Wancheng, although there are a few ministers in Wancheng, but the lord takes into account the importance of this matter, so I can't make a noise, probably planning to get rid of Dong Zhuo, welcome back the emperor he set up, and then give the throne to the young emperor, now if we send this jade seal to Wancheng, why worry about the future Yingli is not rightly named?" ”
Cheng Pu nodded: "But for the sake of today's plan, this news must be blocked, otherwise the other princes must think that the general wants to swallow the jade seal alone and covet the artifact!" ”
Sun Jian thought so, so he put the jade seal away again, only to find that this jade seal actually had a horn inlaid with gold, which looked very strange, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Hey, why is this jade seal missing a corner?" Could it be fake? ”
Cheng Pu smiled: "The general's words are bad, this is the former Wang Mang's chaotic government, the Empress Dowager hated and smashed him with a jade seal, but hit the pillar, collapsed a corner, and then ordered a good craftsman to inlay a corner of the gold, the allusion of gold and jade comes from this, descendants do not know this allusion, if it is the first time to see it, it must be thought to be fake!" ”
Sun Jian smiled and put away the jade seal, and asked Xiang Chengpu: "Strange, why is Mr. so knowledgeable, could it be that these secret histories are only circulated in Mr.'s hometown?" ”
Cheng Pu shook his head: "No, it's just that I once helped Taichangqing Jin Xuan sort out the classics of the imperial court, and I accidentally saw it, so I remembered it!" ”
Sun Jian was stunned for a moment: "Jin Xuan? Could it be the person who misinformed that Songshan was about to earthquake, and led the ten permanent servants to the plan? ”
"It is this person, hehe, don't hide it from the general, the reason why Cheng was able to come to serve in the main army is also the credit of this Jin Xuan, he originally wanted to take refuge in the lord, but Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and the people were panicked, so he had to resign and take refuge in Jing Zhaoyin's house!"
"Well, we must meet this strange man in the future, but we still have important things to do now!" Sun Jian glanced at the people present and shouted in a deep voice, "No one is allowed to say anything about today's events!" ”
"No!"
However, Sun Jian didn't know that one of these people was Liu Bei's person, he saw Sun Jian salvage the jade seal, he actually put it away himself, and secretly ordered the soldiers not to make a noise, knowing that the matter was very important, he immediately went to report to Liu Bei.
"That's the thing, Sun Jian is hiding the jade seal, trying to do wrong!" The soldier said to Liu Bei, who was cleaning up the corpses of the people in the ruins, but there was a greedy look in his eyes, and his intention was very obvious, this news was enough for Liu Bei to give him a few levels of promotion.
"Is that so?" Guan Yufeng's eyes widened slightly, and it was almost hard to believe that this kind of thing could come from Sun Jian's hands.
Zhang Fei snorted coldly, raised a spear in his hand, and interrupted the wooden pillar beside him: "I said that Gao Yi is so active in crusading against Dong Zhuo, it turns out that he has been eyeing this jade seal for a long time, and then he can establish himself as the emperor!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei listened, his expression did not make waves, but quietly put a corpse on the ground that was cleaned up, and said to the soldier who reported the news, "I don't know whether this matter is true or not, wait for me to go and ask for clarification in person, and you will bury these corpses alive!" ”
"Huh?" This soldier couldn't help but be extremely disappointed when he heard Liu Bei's words, even if he didn't get promoted, why did he continue to do tiring work?
However, he didn't dare to resist Liu Bei's meaning, and when he saw Liu Bei and Guan Zhang leading people towards Sun Jian's location, he angrily kicked the corpse on the ground and said hatefully: "Who cares about burying you, stay here by yourself, Lao Tzu is going to tell the master of Yuan Shaomeng, I don't believe that there is no big official to do!" ”
Sun Jian sorted out everything and quickly gathered the men and horses of the Tiger Battalion, at this time Guo Jia sent an order, saying that he had encountered a Dong Zhuo man outside the west gate, Guo Jia wanted to leave all this force behind, so he came to ask Sun Jian to go out of the city from the south gate, cut off the way back after the enemy army, and attacked each other.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that there would be a battle to fight at this time!" Sun Jian immediately said to Cheng Pu, "Mr. will take a thousand people to stay in Luoyang in case there are thieves attacking, and I will bring the rest of the men and horses to help Guo Jia!" ”
Cheng Pu replied: "Don't worry, general, with me, I will ensure that there is nothing to do here!" ”
So Sun Jian took the men and horses, and hurried to the south gate of Luoyang, when he was about to get out of the city gate, suddenly a group of people and horses flashed out, blocking the way, Sun Jian opened his eyes and saw that it was Liu Bei and the three of them, so he gave his hand on the horse: "I am now having an urgent military situation to deal with, why are the three blocking the way!" ”
Zhang Fei snorted coldly and was about to speak, but was stopped by Liu Bei, who asked calmly: "I don't know what military information there is, Liu Bei is willing to work for the general!" ”
Sun Jian was surprised by Liu Bei's words, and he didn't care: "Don't bother, it's Dong Zhuo who has a remnant, just outside the city, Guo Jiajun's teachers and students are afraid that if they are not all annihilated, they will harm the people again, so he ordered me to lead the army to stop it!" ”
Zhang Fei couldn't bear it, and sneered and pointed at Sun Jian: "Make up, continue to make up, Dong Zhuo has long since run away, where will there be any remnants, even if there is, why don't you go to the west gate, but go to the south gate?" Is it to take everyone for stupidity? Say, did you hide the jade seal and want to do wrong! ”
"Huh!" Sun Jian was slightly surprised, why did this matter reach Liu Bei so quickly?
Liu Bei arched his hand at Sun Jian: "General Sun, there is no impermeable wall in the world, we already know about it, since you have found the jade seal, you should hand it over, General Yuan Shao is now the leader of the coalition army, the jade seal should naturally be kept by him, and after rescuing His Majesty from Dong Zhuo's hands in the future, and then returning the jade seal to His Majesty!" ”
Sun Jian was speechless for a while, and he said coldly: "Yes, I found the jade seal, but I said that I wanted to swallow the jade seal, is this charge too unfounded?" To Yuan Shao? Is General Liu Bei confused? It's true that he is the leader of the alliance, but my Sun Jian doesn't admit it! As the leader of the alliance, he just shouted slogans, he knew that his uncle was in trouble, how could he send a soldier to engage Dong Zhuojun in a short battle? His younger brother Yuan Shu is stronger, at least Yuan Shu has fought with Dong Zhuo's generals a few times in Luyang, this jade seal, I naturally have to hand it over to my lord Gao Yi to keep it, even if General Liu Bei can't trust me Sun Jian, at least he can't trust my lord, right? ”
After saying this, Sun Jian's eyes turned to Guan Yu: "General Guan, don't you want to say a fair word for Sun?" ”
Guan Yu was silent for a moment, and then said: "What my brother said is a little biased, but what General Sun did is also inappropriate, and it seems that it is difficult to convince me to wait just based on General Sun's words!" ”
Zhang Fei came out early with a spear, and shouted loudly: "Since you can't understand what you say, then let me use this little steel spear to make it clear!" ”
Between the words, Zhang Fei was already like a bolt of lightning, and he rode his horse to the battle formation of the Tiger Battalion, several soldiers of the Tiger Battalion knew Zhang Fei's bravery, but they naturally couldn't watch the main general Sun Jian suffer, so they immediately shouted together, galloped out left and right, and surrounded Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei how to arrange the Tiger Battalion is powerful, but he is not an ordinary person, he immediately swept with a spear, the momentum was invincible, and in a few breaths, many of the Tiger Battalion soldiers had already fallen off their horses.
Liu Bei's face changed, he couldn't imagine that Zhang Fei was so reckless, so he rushed away, and immediately shouted in front of the battle: "Yide, stop, don't hurt anyone!" ”
Hearing these words in Sun Jian's ears, it was tantamount to a kind of shame, he pulled out the ancient ingot knife with a sonorous sound, and ordered the Tiger Battalion: "Let this guy see the power of our Tiger Battalion!" ”
"No!" Everyone responded, and immediately formed a circular formation, each place was a group of three, one holding a shield, one holding a knife, and one spear, blocking Zhang Fei's retreat to the death, impermeable.
Zhang Feiyuan stared at the ring, looked around at this strange formation, hesitated for a moment, and then raised the spear to break through, but remembered Liu Bei's warning, so he turned the head of the Zhangba snake spear, with the handle of the gun as the blade, spinning in place, knocking off the helmets of several people in a row, it is conceivable that if he really wants to die, these people must have lost their lives.
If this is the case, Sun Jian can't plan to show mercy to Zhang Fei, and immediately shouted an order to the army: "Tripping horses, go!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a few people had already coiled ropes in their hands, and immediately worked in pairs, vertically and horizontally, each with a flying body, and was about to trip Zhang Fei's mount.
Liu Bei didn't want the Tiger Battalion to have so many means, so he immediately warned Zhang Fei: "Yide be careful!" ”
Zhang Fei had already seen those people, he only sneered, these people are powerful, but his Zhang Fei's Zhangba spear is not an ornament, he can't kill people, he can't stop cutting the rope, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Fei immediately raised his spear and shouted, between a few sweeps, the majesty was awe-inspiring, shaking like the wind and fire, where the tip of the spear passed, the tripping horses and ropes were all broken in response, and hundreds of people were helpless to Zhang Fei for a while.
"Sure enough, it's a fierce general who is comparable to Lu Bu, it's really amazing!" Sun Jian saw that Zhang Fei was still at ease under the siege of his Tiger Battalion, and Zhang Fei did not show his real strength at all, such a character is not an exaggeration to say that it is ten thousand enemies!
At this time, suddenly a thing was thrown in front of Zhang Fei's horse, Zhang Fei thought that he was still stumbling and flying, and was about to cut off the spear, but he was suddenly overturned on the ground by his own mount, the mount seemed to be frightened, even Zhang Fei couldn't stop drinking, he broke up the crowd of the Tiger Battalion, and went straight to the direction of Liu Bei's military horses.
Suddenly, a lasso flew on, firmly on the neck of Zhang Fei's mount, everyone looked back, only to see a person riding a horse in his hand is tightly dragging the other end of the lasso, while galloping while tightening the rope in his hand from time to time, after a while, Zhang Fei's mount finally quieted down.
Liu Bei saw the person coming clearly, and couldn't help but be surprised: "General Xiahoubo, why are you?" ”
The person who came was Xiahou Bo, who was ordered by Liu Bei to stay in the plain with Jian Yong, he went to Liu Bei, dismounted and bowed, but there was a wry smile on his face: "Not only is the end of the future, but Mr. Xianhe is also here, after the lord left, the plain was attacked by the yellow turban thief Guan Hai and fell, and the two of us had no choice but to lead the remnants of hundreds of men and horses to find the lord's whereabouts, and hope that the lord will punish the crime!" ”
Liu Bei was taken aback, looked into the distance, and saw that the road was not far away, and Jian Yong came with hundreds of people clamoring: "Lord, I'm really sorry, the plain was lost by me, a drunkard!" ”
"It's good that you're all right!" Liu Bei looked at the two of them, but he couldn't see the slightest look of sadness on his face: "Guan Hai is powerful, you are not his opponent, since the plain has been lost, just find a chance to take it back in the future!" ”
"Drink!"
Suddenly, a thunderous roar sounded in the Tiger Battalion, and it turned out that Zhang Fei, who was trapped in it, had no mount, and the conflict could not come out, so he shouted violently, and the roar was so loud that the hundreds of Tiger Battalion soldiers who surrounded him were so stunned that they were at a loss on the spot!
Sun Jian was surprised, is this still human?
