Chapter 25 The Jade Seal of the Country

"Meng De, you say, is the Han Dynasty really saved?" Standing in the midst of a charred ruins, Yuan Shao asked softly about his hair.

"Why did you say that?" Cao Cao asked in surprise. There were no outsiders around, coupled with Yuan Shao's low tone at this time, Cao Cao did not formally call Yuan Shao the leader of the alliance, but shouted his cousin.

"I vaguely remember that when we were young, we frolicked in this Luoyang city every day, played together, troubled together, and messed around together, how prosperous Luoyang was at that time." Yuan Shao first said reminiscingly, and then gritted his teeth stiffly: "And since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Luoyang has been completely chaotic, and the people are not talking about their lives, and now, even this imperial capital has been completely destroyed!" What's the point of fighting for what I'm waiting for! ”

"I don't know!" Cao Cao sighed lightly, looking at the sky from afar, as if a dying golden dragon was letting out its last scream under the firelight, and finally completely dissipated and fell among the clouds.

"Huh! This world is completely chaotic! Yuan Shao suddenly let out a desolate laugh, and walked out slowly, but his body was as firm as he had never been, since the Han Dynasty was not saved, then I would save myself.

Looking at Yuan Shao's gradual pace, a glimmer of light appeared in Cao Cao's eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the other side, Sun Jian was leading his troops to extinguish the flames with all his might, because he was the first to enter Luoyang, so the marching speed was much faster than that of the other princes, and he had already cleaned up the interior of the palace at this time. And the soldiers under his command are cleaning up the ruins, and they are also checking whether there are any treasures inside, this is the palace after all, if you can get a remnant or two, it is better than nothing.

"Lord, lord, come!" At this time, the general Han Dang seemed to have discovered something and let out an exclamation.

"What's the matter? Righteous father? Sun Jian walked over with his generals and asked.

"Just now, our people fished out a female corpse from the well and found this from inside!" Han Dang looked around a little sneakily and stuffed a box.

"It's mysterious." Sun Jian read a sentence dissatisfiedly, opened the box, and a dazzling white light suddenly illuminated his whole person, Sun Jian hurriedly closed the box, and his mood could not be calmed down for a long time.

What did he see, there was a jade stone inside, four inches in circumference, overflowing with brilliance, the dragon shape on it was staggered, a golden horn on the side, engraved with the seal inscription "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" eight words, it is the jade seal of the country that has been handed down through the ages.

"Lord, you can be the emperor!" Seeing this, Huang Gai, the general next to him, said with great joy.

"Don't talk nonsense, how can my Sun Jian be virtuous, how can he be a great treasure!" Sun Jian frowned and scolded.

"But the lord has been passed on to the jade seal, which is given by God, and now that the Han Dynasty has completely decayed, the lord must have a mandate of heaven!" Huang Gai persuaded him.

"General Huang is cautious! It's chaotic here, and it must not be known, and if you don't have the strength, it's useless to ask for the jade seal! Before Sun Jian could speak, Sun Ce spoke, although he was young, he had foresight, although he knew that the jade seal had the greatest significance for any prince, but he understood that if he did not have the strength, he would only cause trouble.

"What Ce'er said is that we should find a way to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible and plot something big!" Sun Jian nodded, in the face of such rare treasures, even if it is a heroic man like him, he is not exempt from vulgarity, could it be that he Sun Jian is really the person who belongs to the destiny of heaven, thinking of this, the only point in his heart to dedicate this jade seal has disappeared without a trace, now the Han Emperor is still in the hands of Dong Zhuo, it can't be handed over to Dong Zhuo, as for the alliance, it is even more nonsense, even Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, is only temporary, everyone is on an equal footing, why give it to him.

While they were deliberating, they didn't notice that there was a soldier next to them with a strange color in his eyes. The jade seal of the country! If this news leaks to Yuan Mengzhu, I should be able to be promoted and make a fortune! It's better than being a creep here.

After more than ten hours of non-stop watering, the fire in Luoyang was finally completely extinguished, but at this time Luoyang also became a complete ruin.

"Alliance leader, it's time for us to pursue!" Seeing that the ruins of Luoyang had become a foregone conclusion, Cao Cao immediately came back to his senses and spoke.

"Chase?" Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao and asked rhetorically.

"Yes, Dong Zhuo is carrying hundreds of civil and military officials and ordinary people to escape, he will definitely not be able to go fast, we will definitely be able to catch up!" Cao Cao said eagerly. Until this point, he did not give up his original intention.

"I don't care, but do you see who of these princes is still willing to go?" Yuan Shao pointed to the princes who were resting in the pavilion, they were lazily drinking tea and chatting there, so happy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a God-given opportunity for Dong thieves to abandon and flee at this time, if we defeat it, the world can be determined!" Seeing this, Cao Cao immediately ran in front of the princes and arched his hand.

"Don't move! Dong Zhuo's troops are still there, and they are all cavalry, if we pursue, we must not be opponents! ”

"Hmmm! It's better to wait for the right time! ”

"Makes sense! At this time, Dong Zhuo was defeated and retreated, and we should accept it when we see it! ”

Even Kong Rong moved the corners of his mouth slightly, and he didn't say anything, he is a literati, he is really not good at marching and fighting, it's okay to follow others to gangsters, to fight Dong Zhuo is undoubtedly looking for death.

"Have you forgotten the purpose of our alliance? Kill the national thief and welcome back Your Majesty! At this time, the national thief is still there, and His Majesty is still in the hands of the national thief! Cao Cao shouted angrily.

"Fighting a war also depends on the right time and place, Meng De, you know the art of war, don't you understand? Dong Zhuo's subordinates are all cavalry, our own formation is not here, if the battle line is too long, there is no chance of victory at all! ”

"That is, we people can keep useful bodies, and we can think of a more complete way to rescue Your Majesty in the future!"

Hearing Cao Cao's tone, the princes were immediately unhappy, you Cao Cao is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, right! You can do it! We're not going anyway.

"Huh! These people! Looking at the various attitudes of these princes, Lu Anxin sneered, with the fall of the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, these people also seem to see that the Han Dynasty is no longer saved, and now they have careful thoughts, anyway, Dong Zhuo is defeated and retreats, and their interests will no longer be infringed, so why risk his life to take the initiative to beat him, besides, even if they really defeat Dong Zhuo and welcome back the emperor, what should they do? There is a son of heaven in the head, and there are three princes and nine kings, they are a little bit of merit, but except for the two brothers Yuan Shao who can get a better development with their family background, others are only afraid that the future life will not be as good as that of the local emperor of the soil, so thinking about it, it is estimated that no one wants to go.

"The shaft is not enough! If you don't go, I'll go by myself! How could Cao Cao not know what these people were thinking, he flicked his sleeves at the moment, and went back to ask Yuan Shao: "Originally, did you go with me to pursue?" ”

"Are you kidding? Just our soldiers and horses, how can we be Dong Zhuo's opponents! Yuan Shao shook his head, if all the princes were still willing to listen to his orders and pursue them together, it would be okay for him to go, but now it is obvious that these princes have been careful and no longer listen to orders, and they will pursue Dong Zhuo with tens of thousands of horses under his hands, so he will not do this kind of stupid thing.
