Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sun Jian's Betrayal of the Alliance
"Do you still want to hide it now?" Yuan Shao looked at Sun Jian coldly, and his tone was very unkind.
"Hmph, I said no, I don't have it!" As a Jiangdong Tiger, Sun Jian has never been frightened.
As the two looked at each other, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
"Alliance leader, since Sun Taishou said no, then let's stop! Since there are some rare treasures, it is also Sun Taishou's chance! Seeing that the two seemed to be about to turn their faces, the princes hurriedly played a round. I also feel that Yuan Shao is making a big fuss, and people pick it up when they pick it up, and even this is greedy.
"Do you know what Sun Wentai got?" Yuan Shao glanced at the other princes and said lightly. After that, he didn't wait for the princes to answer, and then spoke again: "What he got is the heirloom jade seal of my Han Dynasty, the symbol of the Son of Heaven!" Ladies and gentlemen, now you understand why I asked him to hand it over! ”
"What?" The princes were shocked when they heard this, and they all glanced at Sun Jian, their faces were cloudy, if it was something else, this Sun Jian would take it, but this jade seal is an indispensable thing for the Son of Heaven, and there are even rumors that the jade seal will win the world, this Sun Jian got the jade seal, but he secretly hid it, he didn't want to be the emperor, and when he thought of this, the princes' eyes looking at Sun Jian were also full of unkindness.
"Hmph, don't listen to Yuan Shao's nonsense, how can my Sun Jian ever get the jade seal, your Yuan brothers first had Yuan Shu assassinate me first, and now you, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, have slandered my reputation! What is the intention? When Sun Jian saw the unkind eyes of the princes, he immediately snorted coldly, drew his sword directly, and said coldly.
"Whoosh!" The cold long sword brought up bursts of dazzling cold light, so that the princes suddenly woke up, this Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, brave and good at fighting, but it is definitely not easy to get along, for a jade seal that I don't know if there is, it is a little unwise to turn his face with him.
"Stain your reputation? How could I, Yuan Benchu, do you think I have no witnesses? Yuan Shao said and clapped his hands: "Bring people over!" ”
Outside the tent, a pawn wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier of the Jiangdong Army walked in, accompanied by two elite soldiers.
"Sun Wentai? Do you recognize him? A sneer appeared at the corner of Yuan Shao's mouth, pointing at the pawn and asking.
"Poof!" Seeing the pawn's face, Sun Jian's eyebrows were cold, and he suddenly rushed forward, and directly stabbed the pawn in the chest with a sword, splashing bursts of blood and sprinkling it on his face.
"You!" The pawn was pierced in the chest, and his fingers tapped slightly, as if in disbelief, and then he lost all his strength and fell to the ground. His eyes were still open, he thought that he could be promoted and make a fortune by secretly telling the master of the Yuan League secrets, but now his dream of making a fortune is shattered, but he has also taken his life.
"Sun Jian? Hello so bold! Sun Jian suddenly burst out and killed, Yuan Shao was a little caught off guard, and only after the person died, Yuan Shao reacted, and suddenly shouted angrily. The guards behind him also unsheathed their weapons one after another as their masters shouted and cursed.
"This person is a rebel of my Jiangdong Army, I have long wanted to arrest him and bring him to justice, and I thank the alliance leader for finding this traitor for me!" Sun Jian was unmoved, and looked coldly at the guards behind Yuan Shao, his palm did not leave the long sword at his waist, as if he was ready to burst out at any time.
"I think you're trying to kill someone!" Yuan Shao said coldly.
"My Sun Jian is loyal to the country, good to the people, and when I crusaded against Dong Zhuo, my Sun Jian also asked for my life to be the vanguard, and the world knows it, but the alliance leader has slandered me again and again, why?" Sun Jian said with a cross-eyed gaze.
"Very good, you keep saying that you didn't take the jade seal of the country, can you dare to swear?" Yuan Shao glanced at the dead soldier on the ground, knowing that this matter had fallen into passivity, so he had to ask.
"Why don't you dare?" The matter has come to this point, Sun Jian has no other way to retreat, it is absolutely impossible to hand over the jade seal, he immediately put his hand to the sky, and swore: "If my Sun Jian secretly hides the jade seal of the country, he will die under the arrows in the future!" ”
"Good, good! Sun Jian, you are very good! Yuan Shao's face was swollen with anger, but he knew that this matter could only be stopped temporarily, so he had to grit his teeth and spit out a few words.
"Farewell, everyone!" After making the oath, Sun Jian left the camp without looking back, and led the army away on his own.
"Everyone, it's over, let's go and rest first! When Meng De comes back from pursuit, let's discuss the big thing! After all, Yuan Shao had the city in his heart, and after Sun Jian left, he regained his composure and showed a smile to the princes.
"I'll retire!" Although the princes knew about this farce, they could only pretend to retreat at this time.
"Someone, get a pen and paper!" When all the princes left, Yuan Shao tapped his fingers, and as soon as his mind turned, he had a plan in his heart, so he took a pen and paper and wrote a letter for the messenger to take out.
Lu An and Cao Cao led the soldiers under their command, constantly chasing in the direction of Chang'an, along the way, often saw the corpses of the dead people and scattered burdens, and even more, the female corpse and the child under the age of ten who were all over the body.
"Conniving at the sergeants' burning, killing, and plundering! Such people can still live in this world! Lu Anxin was even colder, he hated Dong Zhuo more, and at the same time he was even more disappointed in this world, he was also a son and daughter of China, but he was bullied by his compatriots like this, where is justice, and what is the reason.
Seeing such a tragic situation, Cao Cao's face was also not good-looking, but after all, he endured it, and the two marched for a while, and there was a fork in the road in front of them.
"There are actually two roads, but Dong Thief should be on the right!" Cao Cao dismounted and probed for a while, then spoke.
"Why is Lord Cao so sure?" Lu An asked in surprise.
"The road on the left is relatively narrow, and the road is rugged, it is a small road, the road on the right is relatively wide, the road surface is smooth, it is the official road, the official road is very convenient, and there are faint traces of carriages and horses on the side of the road, in peacetime, it may be that Dong thief deliberately confuses our sight, but at this time Dong Zhuo is carrying the entire people of Luoyang to march together, the whole team must stretch for hundreds of miles, for the convenience of the march, he will definitely take this road, there is no doubt about it." Cao Cao affirmed.
"I see!" Lu An had an epiphany, and couldn't help but have a little admiration for Cao Cao, he could think of such a far away through a little thing, and he was really experienced, and he should learn a little more.
"Xuantong, since Dong Thief is taking the official road, why don't we take the trail to pursue?" Cao Cao asked again at this time.
"Oh? Why did Lord Cao do the opposite! Lu An raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.
"Hehe, the art of war is cloudy, surprisingly winning, although the trail is rugged, but Dong Thief definitely didn't think that we would pursue from here, on the contrary, Dong Thief must now know that we are chasing them, and it is very likely that he has laid an ambush on the official road!" Cao Cao touched the short beard on his chin and said with a smile.
