Chapter 270: Preparing to Go South

Forget it, we can't take care of Liu Bei's affairs now, let him go! Zhang Jie said.

Gongyan, a lot of things have happened during the time you have been away, so let's talk about it slowly in the future. At present, the first task is to expand the armament war.

Now there is enough money and food, and the army has already exceeded 300,000 people. It's just a lack of training. After the spring of next year, we will march south. Anyway, sooner or later, he had to go south, and Jie didn't want to wait any longer.

The lord is reasonable, if he doesn't go south as soon as possible, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will also take the opportunity to recruit troops. In this way, it is better to go south earlier and not give them time.

Well. Go down and rest! Jay thinks again.

A few days later, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, and Yuan Yao came to Yecheng.

Zhang Jie received information a few days ago that Yuan Shu was dead. It's just that I didn't expect Yang Hong and Yan Xiang to come to Yecheng. And why did Yuan Shu's son come to Yecheng too? Could it be that he is here with the jade seal of the country? The more you think about it, the more likely it is. Thinking of this, Zhang Jie smiled.

In the hall of the state pastor's mansion, I saw Ming Gong.

Everyone, please get up, don't be polite, Yuan Gongzi, Brother Highway, please mourn. Don't worry, Brother Highway and I are good friends, and his son, Jie will be treated as a relative. Although Brother Highway impulsively became the emperor, Jie would never let anyone hurt Childe.

Yuan Yao immediately knelt down and said: Thank you uncle for your concern. The father asked the nephew to give the jade seal to the uncle, who kept it. Then Yuan Yao took out a box in his arms and held it in both hands.

Zhang Jie followed with both hands, opened the box and saw that it was really a jade seal. Zhang Jie's hands trembled a little. I picked up the jade seal and touched it, it was very heavy. Turn it over and engrave it on the front, ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity. Eight seal characters. And there is a horn that is made up with gold.

Zhang Jie said: I heard that this jade seal was made by Li Si, the prime minister of the Great Qin, using He's bi. Later, Qin died, and Qin Ziying was dedicated to Gaozu.

Until the foreign relative Wang Mang usurped power, Wang Mang sent his cousin Wang Shun to ask for the jade seal, and the queen mother was angry and scolded him, and threw the seal on the ground, breaking a corner of it. Wang Mang ordered the craftsmen to make up for it with gold.

Yang Hongdao: What the Ming Duke said was that after Wang Mang was defeated and killed, the Janissary Captain Gong Bin had to pass on the national seal, and tended to Wancheng and dedicated it to the first emperor Liu Xuan. After the first emperor, he was killed by the Red Eyebrow army. Liu Penzi was appointed emperor. The national seal changed hands to Liu Penzi.

Later, Liu Penzi defeated Yiyang and dedicated the jade seal of the country to Emperor Guangwu since then.

Zhang Jie nodded and said: Just such a broken stone, there are a lot of origins. Countless people have died for it.

Yan Xiang didn't plan to work for Zhang Jie now, so he wanted to test Zhang Jie and said: It is the will of heaven that the Duke of Ming and Ming has obtained this treasure, why not follow the heavens? The implication is to let Zhang Jie also be called the emperor.

Zhang Jie said: Hahahaha, Brother Ji Cai (Yan Xiangbiao didn't find the word) will still test Jie.

This thing may be a supreme treasure in the eyes of others, but in Jie's eyes, it is just a beautiful stone.

Whoever gets this thing can win the world, then Li Si will not be cut in half. Wang Mang won't kill it.

Someone, spread that Wang Hao came to see me. Promise!

After a while, Wang Hao came, and Zhang Jie said: Wang Hao, you take someone to send this jade seal to Luoyang and hand it over to the Son of Heaven in person.

Promise!

Yan Xiang saw that Zhang Jie was really not interested in the jade seal, but gave it to the Son of Heaven in Luoyang. felt that Zhang Jie was really not simple, Yuan Shu exchanged 3,000 soldiers and horses with Sun Ce for this stone. can be worthless in Zhang Jie's eyes.

Zhang Jie said: Ji Cai, Zhong Ming, you have come from afar, rest for a few days first, and then Jie will discuss with you in a few days. How is it?

I am willing to listen to the arrangement of Ming Gong. Yang Hongdao!

Yuan Gongzi, you rest in the post house first, and I will find you a good house in a few days before you move in. Let's live in Yecheng from now on!

Uncle Xie. Yuan Yaodao.

After everyone went down, Zhang Jie sat on the ground in a daze.

The jade seal of the country, Lao Tzu sent it away before he touched it. It's distressing! Is it chasing back?

But if you chase it back, you will break your promise. What would Yan Xiang and the others think? And if the world knows about it, its reputation will be ruined.

Ay! In the future, it will be less B.

Yang Hong said to Yan Xiang on the way back: What does Brother Xiucai think of Zhang Jie?

Yan Xiangdao: He and Yuan Shu are actually all the way, ambitious, but they have a long-term vision.

Yang Hong said with a smile: Hong saw that Zhang Jie's hands were trembling when he grabbed the jade seal. When looking at the jade seal, his eyes lit up. It shows that he really wants to take possession of this jade seal. But he can retract his greed in time. And I can immediately think of sending it to Luoyang. Just ask all the people in the world, who else can be so open to this thing?

After Yuan Shu got the jade seal, he held it in his hand for three days and didn't leave it! Zhang Shimin has such a forbearance heart, why worry about the injustice of the world!

At night, Zhang Jie lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Cai Yan said: Isn't it just a broken stone, what is there to think about, it depends on your distress. Why did you let Wang Hao send him to Luoyang if he was so reluctant?

Ay! My good lady! , that's the heirloom jade seal! How many people fought for it, bleeding and dying. But I got it and sent it away before I could cover the heat, can I not feel distressed?

Cai Yan said: Do you want to order someone to chase it back? Wang Hao shouldn't have passed the song yet, and it's still too late.

Ay! Forget it, so many people know, how can Jie break his word and get fat, and give people a handle! Zhang Jie said.

You know that if you can't recover it, what else is there to feel sorry for. I think you sent the jade seal to Luoyang. Much better than staying. Cai Yan said.

Oh! Yan'er thinks so too? Zhang Jie asked.

Of course, send it to Luoyang, and the officials and ministers of the court will think that you are loyal to the Son of Heaven. Cai Yan said.

Zhang Jie smiled: Hehe, Yan'er, you think too much, what the court officials and ministers think of me, in fact, I don't care at all. The main reason why I do this is to win people's hearts. With my current strength, even if all the candidates in the world unite to deal with me, we are not afraid.

But the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an anthill. If the jade seal is left, several military advisors will definitely have objections. Today, Yan Xiang is already testing whether I have the heart to be the emperor. This person is talented, but he is not allowed to be reused. Yuan Shu said that the emperor was the only one who objected. It shows that this person has a long-term vision. What's more, he was not loyal to the Han family and opposed Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor, but felt that the time had not come, so Jie would be reused for him in the future.

Yan'er, as long as we can unite the civil and military forces in Hebei. Let them work together, and we will not be afraid of foreign enemies. Sooner or later, one day Jie will ask Liu Xie to kneel in front of me and offer the jade seal of the country with both hands.

If you have this confidence, what is there to feel sorry for? Hurry up and go to sleep! Cai Yan said.

The next day, the judge came to Zhang Jie. Dao: The lord heard that Yuan Shu sent his son to Yecheng with the jade seal of the country?

Yes, Jie asked Wang Hao to send him to Luoyang. Zhang Jie said.

Why didn't the lord leave it behind? Judge the way.

Zhengnan, if someone asks me, I'll say something high-sounding. But you should understand what Jie thinks in his heart, what Jie wants is the whole world. What is the use of asking for stones? It can only recruit people with right and wrong tongues. Wouldn't it be better to send it to Luoyang and let Liu Xie keep it for me?
