Chapter 256 Cao Cao pursued

Dong Zhuo's army withdrew extremely suddenly, without any warning in advance, it turned out that in the past few days when Dong Zhuo continued to send Lu Bu to fight, his men had been preparing in Luoyang.

When all the civil and military forces were forced by them to get into the cart, all the property that could be transported away in Luoyang City was transported by them, and after Emperor Han Xian was taken out of the palace by them, they immediately sent a message to Dong Zhuo, who was far away in the tiger prison.

When Dong Zhuo received the news, he immediately decided to evacuate with his men and horses that night, and only more than 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people were left here in Tiger Prison, and let them pretend to be defending the city.

Early the next morning, the princes were about to send someone to call for battle, when they suddenly found that the door of the Tiger Prison was wide open.

A thousand remnants of soldiers came out of it, and as soon as they came out, they fell directly to their knees in the dust.

At that time, some princes understood that Dong Zhuo was afraid that he had run away!

But for the sake of the past, Yuan Shao still sent one of his generals to lead people into the Tiger Prison Pass to find out.

When the general broke the news, the princes were sure that Dong Zhuo had really run away, and the princes from all walks of life rushed into the Tiger Prison Pass, and then most of the princes went straight to Luoyang.

The only prince who did not go to Luoyang was Liu Zhongyi, the pastor of Jizhou, Liu Yuan, who immediately realized that Luoyang was definitely finished after discovering that the Tiger Prison Pass had been abandoned by Dong Zhuo.

Now when I go to Luoyang, I can't get anything else except a piece of fire, and of course the heirloom jade seal hidden in the well.

Liu Yuan didn't want it, but he knew that he definitely couldn't get his hands on this thing now, because his identity didn't allow him to expose his ambitions so early.

Since the only thing that can attract him has now become a hot potato, what else is he going to Luoyang to do, it is better to go straight to Tongguan with his men and horses.

It is a necessary place for Dong Zhuo to go to Chang'an, if his speed is fast enough, he may be able to get a big piece of the pie from Dong Zhuo's hands!

As for the big fish of Emperor Han Xian, Liu Yuan is not ready to take over now, once he takes Emperor Han Xian back to Jizhou, then he will not have a good time in the future!

Although Emperor Han Xian is nominally his brother, after all, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and he brought Emperor Han Xian back to Jizhou, purely to add constraints to himself.

Therefore, Liu Yuan did not start the pursuit at the first time, but after all the princes from all walks of life entered the Tiger Prison Pass, he led his soldiers to rush towards Tongguan.

He believed that with Dong Zhuo's attention to Emperor Han Xian, Emperor Han Xian was definitely the first batch of people transported by Dong Zhuo's army through Tongguan, and now maybe they have already passed Tongguan.

At this time, he led people to pursue, and the biggest possibility was to intercept the wealth that Dong Zhuojun had looted from Luoyang, and he had to take these wealth into his own hands.

However, before leaving, Liu Yuan still found Sun Jian and told him that there are some things that must not be touched, and once touched, it is very likely that he will die in a foreign land!

Sun Jian was very surprised by Liu Yuan's reminder, but at that time, all the princes were rushing towards Luoyang, and Sun Jian did not get to the bottom of it.

When they came to Luoyang, Luoyang had become a sea of fire, and those people who were considered worthless by the Xiliang army were struggling in the sea of fire.

Yuan Shao and the others immediately began to order people to put out the fire, and as more and more princes' troops arrived, the fire in Luoyang was finally slowly extinguished.

When they saw the tragic situation of this thousand-year-old city, many princes shed two tears on their faces, and then they entered Luoyang with a large army.

They began to search through the ruins to see if they could find something valuable, at least to find out the military resources they had sent this time.

However, they underestimated the scavenging ability of the Xiliang army, these guys were simply a swarm of locusts, and the place they passed was a mess, leaving nothing for the princes' army.

But there was still a prince who got something very important.

This person was Wucheng Hou Sun Jian, and his people found a female corpse that was about to rot in a dry well in one of the wreckage of the imperial complex.

When they dragged the female corpse up, they realized that the female corpse was holding a sandalwood box in her arms.

I thought it was a palace maid who was about to escape with the treasures of the palace, but she was killed here, and her body happened to fall into the well.

But when they opened the box, they found that things were not what they imagined.

Although they don't know the specific identity of this woman, they can be sure that this woman is definitely not an ordinary palace maid.

Because the box she was holding in her arms contained the heirloom jade seal of the Han Dynasty, and the appearance of the heirloom jade seal also startled Sun Jian.

His first thought at that time was to hide, but soon he remembered what Liu Yuan had said to him before leaving, and Sun Jian came to his senses at that time.

Then he decided to bring the heirloom jade seal back to the camp, and he planned to sell it in the form of an auction to the highest bidders.

Although he was very reluctant in his heart, Sun Jian knew that he did not have a certain strength, and if he wanted to preserve this rare treasure, he was asking for his own death.

In this case, it is better to use this thing in exchange for some military funds that he urgently needs, so that when he returns to Changsha, he can make his power expand rapidly.

When his power reaches a certain scale, maybe he still has a chance to participate in the competition for this rare treasure, and even has a chance to snatch it back into his hands.

After making the decision, Sun Jian immediately returned to the princes' camp with people to protect the jade seal of the country, and then Sun Jian contacted several powerful princes and showed them this treasure.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who were involved, went crazy at that time, and they kept raising the price, hoping that Sun Jian would transfer this treasure to them.

Sun Jian finally handed over this treasure to Yuan Shao, although Yuan Shu had more in price, but Sun Jian had some festivals with him before.

And Sun Jian knew that if he handed over this treasure to Yuan Shu, then Yuan Shao would definitely not let him go easily, but it was completely different when handed over to Yuan Shao.

According to his understanding of Yuan Shu, this guy will definitely immediately point the finger at his brother, and then he can return to Changsha safely and worry-free!

Just after Sun Jian handed over the jade seal of the heirloom to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao strode in, and as soon as he entered, Cao Cao asked all the princes to pursue Dong Zhuo with him.

Originally, Cao Cao was full of confidence when he came in, but when he finished talking about his idea, he found that few princes agreed with his idea.

Especially those powerful princes, none of them took the initiative to stand up and pursue Dong Zhuo with him, which made Cao Cao feel very disappointed.

In the end, he could only leave the sentence "Lack of vertical power and conspiracy", and then took his subordinates Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Le Jin Starry Night to pursue Dong Zhuo!
