Xi Zhong groaned: "They don't dare to come for the time being, for fear of coming to the yin." ”

Xu Chu wondered: "Yin? Zhicai said......"

"Do you still remember that in order to deal with Kong Ling and Yuan Shu, we asked General Cao to be the Taishou of Yingchuan in the imperial court."

"Of course I do."

"Then Yuan Cheqi and General Hou are very likely to use the same method to deal with us."

"I see, if Er Yuan is the Taishou of Yingchuan and Lujiang counties, Cao Mengde and I will have to be cautious, and in this way, the west attack on Hangu Pass will be in vain." Xu Chu nodded.

A seal can lead him and Cao Cao to return to the county, and this method will not cause too much disgust from people in the world, why not?

Xu Chu immediately sent someone to Cao Cao to convey his worries to Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao heard this, he thought it was true, Yuan Shao knew him, he knew Yuan Shao better, it is very likely that at this time, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu performed the music of others for Yingchuan and Lujiang counties, and they were already on the way to Chang'an. However, Cao Cao did not immediately reply to Xu Chu how to deal with this matter, he was thinking about something.

The jade seal of the country.

The loss of the jade seal of the country can be traced back to when Dong Zhuo first entered Luoyang. It was the chaos caused by the death of He Jin, the displacement of the Son of Heaven, and the fall of the eunuchs at that time that led to the loss of the jade seal.

Most of the generals who participated in the attack on Gong Province knew about this matter, and Cao Cao also kept it in mind.

Now that he has arrived in Luoyang, he has never heard of the news that the jade seal of Chuanguo has seen the light of day before he arrived, so he judged: It is very likely that the jade seal was hidden by someone somewhere at that time, and it is extremely difficult to find, so Dong Zhuo has not found it for so long.

Under the banner of cleaning up the palace city, Cao Cao mobilized thousands of soldiers and ordered Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun to carefully collect utensils and classics related to the Son of Heaven, the royal family and the ministers in the palace, but after a few days, there was no news about the jade seal of the country.

Cao Cao couldn't help but think: At the same time, there are also Xu Chu's troops searching for the palace, could it be ...... The heirloom jade seal has been found by Xu Chu?

Although he thinks so, it is not good to ask Xu Chu directly about this matter, and he will not tell the truth if he asks.

Cao Cao, who had the intention of planting flowers, did not wait for the news of the jade seal of the country, but on the other hand, Guo Jia, who was inspecting the situation of the various departments, suddenly received a strange news: two soldiers in the palace su department, who were responsible for cleaning the palace city, were ordered to be killed by Sima Gongsu because they violated military law.

In Xu Chu's army, the captain of the supervising military academy is a drama loyalty, and he has the responsibility of supervising the military discipline of the three services. And Guo Jia has a special status, and Xi Zhong's health has not been very good recently, so the soldiers often report to him about the big and small things that happened in the army.

Guo Jia knew that Gong Su had a lonely and cold personality, and he had always been based on the appearance of a pure and loyal minister, and his subordinates had always had very strict military discipline, so it stands to reason that no one should violate military discipline at this time. So he immediately went to Miyagi to ask what was going on.

Seeing Guo Jia coming, Gong Su was overjoyed, his eyes revealed a complicated light, and he said to Guo Jia: "Mr. Fengxiao, please take a step to speak." ”

Guo Jia was even more strange, and followed Gong Su out of the palace city and came to his tent.

Gong Su retreated left and right, and left the account with Guo Jia.

Guo Jia asked: "I heard that Jun killed two soldiers who violated military discipline with a cane in the morning, I don't know why?" ”

Gong Su took a deep look at Guo Jia, took out an iron box from the corner of the tent, carefully took out an object and held it with both hands, and said, "That's because of this!" ”

"Huh?"

Guo Jia looked at it fixedly, but saw that the whole body of this thing was carved from jade, with a radius of four inches, and there was a dragon fish and phoenix bird button on it, and he was shocked at the moment. Look closely, and see that the front of this thing is engraved with eight large seals, and the words say: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!" ’

Guo Jia lowered his voice and exclaimed, "Chuan Guoxi!? ”

"Exactly." Gong Su's excitement was overflowing, and he also lowered his voice and said: "It was two soldiers under my command who found this thing, fished it out of a well. The two men did not know what it was, but they thought it should be a treasure, so they hid it privately, but I found it when I was on patrol in the camp, and because the stakes were very high, and the two of them had indeed committed the military discipline of 'not hiding royal items privately', I killed them two. ”

Guo Jiamo nodded silently, and listened to Gong Su continue: "This is a big matter, in order to keep it secret, I originally wanted to go to the Lord to tell me about this matter in person,....... But it's just right that Mr. Bonghyo came, Mr. Bonghyo? ”

Guo Jia looked at the seal of the country in a daze, and muttered in his mouth: "Ordered by heaven, ordered by heaven......"

"Mr. Bonghyo?"

"Huh? Oh, let me think about it. ”

"What do you think?"

Guo Jia didn't answer, took the jade seal of the country, stared at the eight big characters on the jade seal, 'Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang', and said in his heart: There are three generals in Luoyang, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian, and the second general Cao and Sun also sent people to clean the palace city, but unexpectedly, the subordinates of the palace Sima found this jade seal...... Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity...... Is this providence?

Although Guo Jia was born in a poor family, he didn't believe much in the witch Taoist gods and ghosts because of his reading of poetry and books, but now this heirloom jade seal engraved by Qin Prime Minister Li Si on the order of Qin Shi Huang with He's bi was held in his hand, but he couldn't help but be confused, I don't know if the appearance of this jade seal indicates that the Han family has exhausted the world's qi for hundreds of years, or does it indicate something else?

Secretly wondering about the 'providence' of heaven, Guo Jia suddenly asked: "Besides you and me, is there anyone else who knows about this matter?" ”

Gong Su shook his head, "No." ”

Guo Jia nodded with satisfaction and said: "This is the best, you know this matter, I know, and I will find an opportunity to talk to Zhicai and Yuan Zhi in the future, but Gong Jun, the lord's side, we had better not say it?" ”

For the sake of secrecy, try not to let too many people know, Gong Su can understand, but ...... Gong Su wondered: "Why can't you let the lord know?" ”

Guo Jia sighed: "If the lord knows about this, what will he do? Do you send the jade seal to Chang'an, or keep it in your own hands? ”

Gong Su thought about it, it was true, once Xu Chu learned that the jade seal was in his hand, it became difficult to do. Send it to Chang'an, Chang'an is actually Dong Zhuo in power, if you don't send it, you will be suspected of being disrespected.

Guo Jia further said: "At this time, the jade seal is in the world, but it is coveted by others, which is quite unbeautiful. If you wait until a certain time in the future to let it appear, it may have unexpected effects. ”

Hearing what Guo Jia said, Gong Su nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in Mr. Xiao, so I will keep this jade seal first?" ”

"That's how it should be."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he explained a few words to Gong Su and then left the military tent.
