Liu Bei, who listened to it, proposed to spread the word to the world and inform the Kwantung Prefecture that Sun Jian and Liu Bei had jointly sent troops to defeat Dong Zhuo and recover Luoyang, and Sun Jian was overjoyed.

This crusade against Dong Zhuo, only Sun Jian really attacked Dong Zhuo with all his strength, all of this is of course out of Sun Jian's loyalty, in addition to loyalty, it is not for reputation.

In this era, there is no such convenient media method as newspapers, television, and the Internet, and now Liu Bei wants to spread the word to the world, which is simply to advertise Sun Jian, where does Sun Jian disagree.

However, Sun resolutely decided to be modest, and said: "Although the joint forces of you and me have recovered Luoyang, the battle against Dong has not ended, Dong Zhuo has fled west, is it not too late for us to capture Dong Zhuo, welcome the Son of Heaven back to Beijing, and then spread the word to the world." ”

Liu Bei said: "Brother Wentai's words are reasonable, but Dong Zhuo has fled, and it is difficult to arrest him for the time being." Wentai, you and I have been fighting for many days, so it's better to take a break for a while. Moreover, you and I are not strong enough troops, so we may not be able to defeat Dong Zhuo and welcome back the Son of Heaven, it is better to spread the message to the world, inspire the morale of the Kwantung Prefecture, and march together with you and me, wouldn't it be better than the two of us fighting alone. ”

Sun Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, so the two ordered his subordinates to spread the word to the world, saying that the combined forces of Sun and Liu had defeated Dong Zhuo and recovered Luoyang, and asked the princes of the world to jointly send troops to attack Hangu in the west, seek to capture Chang'an, and welcome back the Son of Heaven.

Liu Bei and Sun Jian ordered their soldiers and horses to rest outside Luoyang City, each with hundreds of guards, and the two marched side by side into Luoyang City. At this time, Luoyang City was already in ruins, although the two sent thousands of people into the city to clean up, by the way, there was still a ruin everywhere.

In its heyday, Luoyang had a population of more than one million, a million-level city, even in later generations, it was not too small, and in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was more likely to be the only big city in the world with a population of more than one million. was burned clean by Dong Zhuo.

Looking around, Liu Bei sighed and said to Sun Jian: "Brother Wentai, I have been to Luoyang twice before, how prosperous Luoyang was at that time, with millions of households, businessmen gathered, waving their sleeves into clouds, sweating into rain. can look at today's Luoyang, it has become a ghost. ”

Sun Jian was also resentful, took an arrow in his hand, broke the shaft of the arrow, and said: "If you can't destroy the nine clans of Dong Thief, Sun has such an arrow." ”

"Hehehe......" Liu Bei laughed a few times, and said in his heart that when you pick up the heirloom jade seal, you won't think so.

Originally, Liu Bei wanted to make an oath, but suddenly raised his eyebrows, but he just echoed two sentences, but he didn't make any oaths. just complained in his heart, Sun Jian really failed to destroy the Dong Thief Nine Clans, and as a result, he was stoned to death, wouldn't it be because he made an oath here, so he ran back to grab the land, and finally let the oath come true.

suddenly remembered that there has always been controversy in history about whether Sun Jian picked up the heirloom jade seal.

It is said that Sun Jian was stationed in the south of Luoyang City at that time, and on the nearby Zhenguan Well, there were colorful clouds floating in the morning, and the army was surprised, and no one dared to draw water. Sun Jian ordered people to go down to the well and salvaged the jade seal of the country. Later, in order to become the emperor, Yuan Shu kidnapped Sun Jian's wife and took away the jade seal. According to Chen Shou's point of view, it is likely to be a rumor about Sun Jian's jade seal, but no one can say clearly.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei said to Sun Jian: "The Luoyang palace was very seriously damaged by Dong thieves, so it is better for you and me to transfer a thousand men and horses each to search in the palace." If you find utensils, classics, documents and other things related to the royal family and the country, seal them first, and when the Son of Heaven returns them, maybe they will be used. ”

Sun Jian naturally didn't know Liu Bei's plans, and besides, what Liu Bei said was reasonable, so it was not surprising that he ordered Cheng Pu to lead a thousand men and horses to search the palace. Liu Bei also ordered Zhao Yun and brought a thousand men and horses to search the palace. Of course, Liu Bei would not tell Zhao Yun and let him find the jade seal of the heirloom country, but ordered Zhao Yun to search carefully in the palace, and if he found anything royal things, he must first report it to Liu Bei before it can be sealed.

After the two entered the city, they went all the way to the palace, and along the way, except for the people sent by Liu Bei and Sun Jian, they had not even seen a living person, and all they could see were countless city fox society rats.

Luoyang City is like this, it is impossible to live in it, originally Dong Zhuo's Bi Guiyuan was still intact, but before Dong Zhuo left, there was another fire, and it was burned clean.

Sun and Liu had to camp troops outside Luoyang City, set up tents, sent soldiers to sweep away the rubble in the temple and palace, all the mausoleums dug by Dong Zhuo were all flat and closed, and on the original site of the Taimiao, hastily repaired three simple palaces, first with the gift of cattle, sheep and pigs, sacrificed to Haotian, and then invited Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, Emperor Xiaojing, Emperor Shizu Guangwu and other emperors, with the gift of Taigao.

The sacrifice was over, and Liu Bei sighed.

Sun Jian secretly smacked his tongue, and was considered by a certain great man in later generations to be "the most learned, the most proficient in warfare, and the most skilled in employing people." Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiuchu entered Luoyang, sacrificed to Haotian to show the world, built the Gaozu Temple to Feng Zhengshuo, rebuilt Taixue to the literary industry, and divided the households in Tuntian to meet the people's expectations...... Then he dispatched troops to sweep away the candidates, center the Han room, and recreate the hot sky. Chinese history, up and down thousands of years, this is also a unique thing.

Therefore, Sun Jian was surprised when he saw Liu Bei's methodical sacrifice to Haotian and the first emperors.

Sacrifice to Haotian, this is to indicate that you are ordered by heaven. Sacrificing Emperor Taizu Gao, this is to show that his family is the Han family Zhengshuo, sacrificing Emperor Taizong Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaojing, this is because Liu Bei is the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing after King Jing of Zhongshan, which is the origin of Liu Bei's lineage, and the sacrifice to Emperor Guangwu is to express Liu Bei's ambition to emulate Emperor Guangwu and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.

How can you make Sun Jian not be surprised.

Sun and Liu spread the word all over the world, but within two days, Yuan Shao of Hanoi and Yuan Shu of Nanyang both knew the news that Luoyang had been recovered.

When Yuan Shu learned the news, his face was cloudy, and when someone saw it, he took the opportunity to provoke Yuan Shu and said: "Sun Jian is a Jiangdong Tiger, if he is allowed to occupy Luoyang, it will be difficult to restrain the development of power." If it is allowed to develop, won't it get rid of one wolf and one more tiger, it is better not to distribute grain and grass, and the other army will be scattered. ”

After listening to the provocative words, Yuan Shu did not send military rations to Sun Jian. Although Sun Jian is the assassin of Yuzhou, but what he can really control is only Yingchuan, which is not enough to raise the army, Sun Jian and Liu Bei's military rations are all provided by Yuan Shu, and they are very anxious when they see that Yuan Shu does not send military rations. Liu Bei ordered the soldiers to pack up and prepare to go home.

Sun Jian first persuaded Liu Bei, and then rode to Luyang on a horse to meet Yuan Shu.

Seeing Yuan Shu, Sun Jian painted the ground with a staff and said to Yuan Shu: "Dong Zhuo and I have no enmity. Now I don't care about my body, I risk arrows and stones, to kill the fighters, the upper is for the country to beg for the thief, and the lower is for the general's private affairs, but the general you listen to the villain's words, and actually have doubts about me, do not send food and grass, this is really painful for the relatives, and the enemy is happy. ”

Yuan Shu was ashamed in his heart and couldn't be at ease.

Sun Jian continued: "Now the great work is about to be completed, but the military rations cannot be supplied. This situation is exactly the same as Wu Qi's tears in the West River and Le Yi's failure! Please be aware of the general and make a decision as soon as possible! ”

Yuan Shu was speechless in panic, and ordered someone to behead the slanderer and apologize for Sun Jian's crime. He also ordered that military rations should be allocated to Sun Jian immediately, and Sun Jian did not stay and returned to the camp immediately.

Back in the camp, Sun Jian saw that Liu Bei had finished preparing and was about to leave the village, Sun Jian hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded Liu Bei: "I have persuaded General Yuan that the grain and grass will arrive soon, and Xuande Gong has no choice but to abandon me at this time." ”

Liu Bei said helplessly: "Beiben wants to go west with the general, achieve a great cause, sweep away the rebellion, welcome back the Son of Heaven, and return to the old capital." However, some people hurt people behind their backs, and they don't want you and me to make such a great achievement, so they can't be at ease, so they have to go back to Benzhou first, and then they will be strong and strong, and the food will be abundant, and then they will join forces with the general to attack and sweep away the ugly. ”

With that, hand over a letter.

Sun Jian took the letter and read it, and immediately became angry, and shouted angrily: "Piff, dare to be like this!" ”
