Chapter Ninety-Four: Tao Qian Presents Xuzhou and Sun Jian Hides the Jade Seal
After Liu Kun returned to Luoyang, the rest of the princes came with their troops, Liu Kun made his attitude clear, this Luoyang City is mine, and no one can bring troops into the city.
Although the princes were greedy, they were very helpless, after all, they had already said that whoever captured the city would have the final say!
Now Sili this area, east to Tiger Prison Pass, Luoyang in the middle, west to Jiayu Pass, all occupied by Liu Kun, all the princes want to get a piece of the pie, how difficult it is!
Outside Luoyang City, in the big camp of the coalition army and Yuan Shao's alliance leader's tent, all the eighteen princes gathered here to discuss what to do next!
Liu Kun said: "Ladies and gentlemen, our army has successively captured the Tiger Pass, Pingjin, Taigu, Yuyuan, Guangcheng, Luoyang, and now it is already sleepy and lacking, and then it is up to you to contribute!" β
Yuan Shao said indignantly: "The hussar general said easily, the territory is occupied by you, there is only one Hangu Pass left, the wall is high and the city is big, how to attack it?" β
Liu Kun knew that everyone would not gnaw on this hard bone, but he pretended to be surprised and said, "What? Could it be that you are preparing to return in vain? β
Han Fu said in a mocking tone: "The hussar general will be a fierce soldier, why don't you make persistent efforts and take Hangu Pass!" β
Zhang Fei couldn't help it, and shouted to Han Fu: "If our army destroys Dong Zhuo alone, what is the use of waiting, do you eat here for nothing?" β
Although the princes were angry, they were speechless, and Liu Kun said again: "Ladies and gentlemen, although Yide's words are rough, the truth is right!" Now I have to reorganize the army and appease the people of the relief department, and these things will take at least three months.
If you have the heart to destroy Dong Zhuo, either go to Hangu Pass now, or attack with me after three months. If not. Let's go home! β
That's it. Liu Kun left the coalition camp!
After entering Luoyang, Liu Kun took out an AK47-shaped talisman and handed it to Xu Chudao: "Inform Tai Shici, drive a boat to Youzhou, and quietly pick up a thousand gunners to Luoyang!" Please also ask Tao Qian to come and see me. β
Tao Qian came to see Liu Kun, Liu Kun ordered someone to buy wine and food, and after three rounds of wine, he said to Tao Qian straight to the point: "If there is chaos today." I intend to revive the dynasty, can Tao Envoy wish me a hand? β
Tao Qian's word Gongzu. He was born in 132 years and is fifty-eight years old this year, and in terms of the lifespan of the Han Dynasty, he is already a person buried to the neck.
At this time, Tao Qian was already looking for a way out, the two sons said that they were naΓ―ve and straightforward, and if they said ugly and naΓ―ve, if he left the west in the future, his son would definitely not be able to hold the huge Xuzhou. At that time, there will be the scourge of extinction.
Liu Kun's power is the most powerful of all the princes, and he is a son of the Han family. Now he has occupied the land of three continents, and his soldiers are fierce, and he is even more amazing. I am afraid that he will be the only one who will win the world in the future.
At this time, seeing Liu Kun's straightforward solicitation, he replied: "I don't know what I can do for the general?" β
Liu Kun said: "I can't hide it, Qingzhou and Bingzhou are all under my control, and now there are more divisions, if you add Xuzhou. Nearly half of the world is in my hands!
I want you to hand over the military power of Xuzhou and come to me to be responsible for the affairs of the four continents, and after I ascend the throne, you will be the head of Jiuqing - Taichang! β
Tao Qian didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to become the third prince, and he was the head of the three princes, so he had no regrets in this life!
He knew it in his heart; If it shouldn't be today, I'm afraid that Xuzhou will be Liu Kun's first target, maybe he hasn't returned to Xuzhou yet, and Xuzhou has already changed the day.
Tao Qian's consideration is indeed right, Liu Kun asked Zhao Yun to stand still, this is the plan, he aimed at Tao Qian early, if he refused to cooperate, he would take it by force.
Liu Kun thought that Tao Qian would at least think about it, but he didn't expect Tao Qian to groan slightly, so he readily agreed, and immediately handed over the 10,000 Danyang pawns in his hand to Liu Kun for collection.
The reason why Liu Kun is so generous, firstly, is that Tao Qian's level of governance is quite high, and talents cannot be wasted, and secondly, Tao Qian is nearly sixty years old, and his two sons are not materials for politics, so he is not afraid that he will become big!
Liu Kun arranged for Zhang Fei to incorporate Tao Qian's Danyang pawn, and announced that the competition to win the commander, whether it was the commander of the army, or the commander, the team leader or the military candidate, all of them were won by competition, and if they defeated Zhang Fei, they could be the commander of this army.
As soon as this order came out, the Danyang soldiers under Tao Qian's command cheered and ran to tell each other, but some people were happy and some were worried, and Cao Bao, the general under Tao Qian, quietly left the army.
Liu Kun arranged for Tao Qian to have full authority to handle the government affairs of the eastern region, which included; Henan, Hanoi, Hedong, Hongnong, Jingzhao, Fengyi, Youfufeng.
Among them, Hanoi County is in the hands of Wang Kuang, which is north of the Yellow River, relying on Jizhou, so don't pay attention to it for the time being.
Youfufeng, Fengyi County, and Hongnong County are in the west of Hangu Pass, and Jingzhao refers to Chang'an, and Liu Kun can't touch them all.
The only ones that can be governed are Henan County, Xingyang and Hedong County near Luoyang, Hedong County is close to the state and has long been in Liu Kun's pocket.
In the evening of the same day, Sun Jian led his subordinates to visit the Luoyang Imperial Palace, and when he saw the huge palace people going to the empty building, he sighed: "The emperor star is unknown, the thieves and ministers are in chaos, the people are in misery, and the capital is empty!" "Words are gone, and tears are not heard. A sergeant reported: "There is a treasure light in a well in the south of the palace!" β
Sun Jian called the sergeant to light a torch and go down to the well to salvage. Picking up the body of a woman, it seems that the time of death has not been short, perhaps because of the low temperature underground, the body has not decomposed.
This person was dressed as a palace maid, with a bag around his neck, and when he opened the bag, there was a small vermilion box inside, which was locked by a gold lock.
Sun Jian waved his sword to cut off the golden lock, opened the small box, and in the box was a jade seal, with a radius of four inches, engraved with five dragons and a button, and a corner was missing, inlaid with gold, and there were eight characters in seal inscription on it:
Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity.
Cheng Pu said in surprise: "Congratulations to the lord!" Congratulations to my lord! God bestows this treasure on the lord, and the lord must have the score of ascending to the ninety-five. Don't stay here for a long time, it's better to go back to Jiangdong as soon as possible, don't try to make a big deal! β
Sun Jian, who Cheng Pu said, was moved, quietly put away the jade seal, and resigned tomorrow!
Among the soldiers present, one of them was Yuan Shao's fellow villager, and this person secretly said; 'If I report to Yuan Shao at this time, why can't I be rich!' β
So he secretly went out of the camp overnight to see Yuan Shao.
When Yuan Shao learned of this, he rewarded him with a lot of property and kept him in the army.
The next day, Sun Jian came to Yuan Shao's big tent and said to everyone: "If you want to return to Changsha, you will come to say goodbye to the princes." β
Yuan Shao snorted coldly and sneered: "I know what your illness is, and you are the disease that harms the jade seal of the country." β
Sun Jian was shocked and quibbled: "What does the alliance leader mean by this? β
Yuan Shao said righteously: "The coalition army raises troops to fight against thieves and eliminate harm for the country." The jade seal is the treasure of the imperial court, and once you have obtained it, you should hand it over to everyone, and after killing Dong Zhuo, you will return to the imperial court. What is the intention of hiding it now? β
Sun Jian is not a hero, he muttered for a while, he knew the ins and outs, and in order to win the trust of everyone, he pointed to the sky and swore an oath: "If I get the jade seal and hide it privately, he will not die well in the future, and he will die under the sword and arrow!" β
Everyone in the Han Dynasty still believed in the oath, Sun Jian made this poisonous oath, and all the princes believed that he did not hide the jade seal, and persuaded Yuan Shao one by one.
Liu Kun had long known the location of the jade seal, but he deliberately let Sun Jian discover that if there was no such plot, how would the princes fall apart!
Yuan Shao shouted; "Come in!"
A person outside the camp entered the camp with trepidation, and this person was Sun Jian's rebel who defected to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao pointed his finger at this person: "Sun Jian'er, look at who this person is!" β
Sun Jian was so angry that he was about to kill this renegade soldier with a sword, but Yuan Shao's guards stopped him, and Yuan Shao pointed at Sun Jian's nose and scolded: "Are you ashamed and angry?" Do you dare to quibble at this time? β
Sun Jiantie's face was blue, and Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others behind him all had knives in their hands, ready to fight at any time.
At this time, Liu Kun came to the lobby and shouted: "Stop!" You are equivalent to an alliance, you will see each other with swords, and you will be laughed at by the people of the world and Dong Zhuo if you spread it! If you want to fight, please leave Luoyang and fight again! β
The two put away their blades, and Sun Jian immediately returned to the camp tent, packed up his things and led his troops to pull out the camp.
After marching more than 200 miles in one day, and when I set up camp at night to rest, I opened the box containing the jade seal, but found that the box was actually a stone?
The jade seal was naturally taken away by Liu Kun, and after Sun Jian had taken the jade seal last night, the scout arranged by Liu Kun told him the news.
Early this morning, Liu Kun used the invisibility charm to come to Sun Jian's camp. Sun Jian went out to ask everyone to resign, and Liu Kun took the opportunity to put the jade seal into the treasure mirror space.
Looking at the stone in his hand, Sun Jian wanted to cry without tears, made a poisonous oath for the jade seal, and offended Yuan Shao again. (To be continued......)
