Chapter 61 The Jade Seal of the Country

Seeing that the hussar general Gongsun Yi and Changsha Taishou Sun Jian conquered Bishui Pass and killed the Xiliang general Huaxiong, the 10,000 Xiao cavalry troops originally stationed suddenly moved away from the station, and the princes of Chen Bing couldn't sit still, and they dispatched troops and horses one after another, preparing to capture Luoyang in one go.

The Kwantung Righteous Army successively Chen Bing Tiger Prison Pass, dense at a glance, Dong Zhuo's army stationed in the sky and refused to defend, hung up the battle free card, and ignored the scolding under the city, when the Kwantung Righteous Army came to the Tiger Prison Pass, everyone fought bravely to be the first, and now when the city is attacked, everyone is afraid and unwilling to be the vanguard.

Yuan Shao talked to whoever he talked to, and he would inevitably say that he was sick on the second day, so angry that Yuan Shao angrily scolded this group of cowards, but Yuan Shao was unwilling to lead his troops and horses to attack Xiongguan.

Let's not talk about how much it will cost to attack Xiongguan Tiger Prison, if it is captured, it is easy to say, if it can't be taken, where will he, the leader of the alliance, put his face.

Coupled with Yuan Shu's eyeing of the tiger, it is difficult to say that there will not be a sneak attack from behind, although they belong to the Yuan family, but they are divided into concubines, they are the same enemies, and there is no room for relaxation at all, although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are brothers, they have long been like fire and water, and there will be a war in the future.

The rest of the princes also have their own ghosts, and their soldiers and generals are all capital to settle down, and no one will spend them on the battle to attack the Tiger Pass.

Although the Kwantung Righteous Army was in full swing and Chen Binghu was full of murderous spirit outside the Pass, they confronted the Xiliang Army on the Pass and maintained a strange peace.

*****

In the military tent, Gongsun Yi and Sun Jian and other generals observed the sand table and analyzed the situation of the enemy and us, and I have to say that Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others around Sun Jian are all good generals.

Although Sun Jianjun is not a large number of generals, under the leadership of these generals, he can often exert stronger combat effectiveness, and the on-the-spot response is not comparable to ordinary generals.

On the other hand, Gongsun Yi, although his cavalry has good combat effectiveness, there is no military advisor to guide him, and the general is only available to Tian Yu, but it is a pity that the generals and strategists are not cabbages on the ground.

Now Chen Bing Bishui Pass is only 'one step away' from Luoyang, and the only way to get rid of Dong Zhuo's revenge is to comfort himself that the strategists will have it, and the generals will also have it.

Suddenly, a guard entered the account and reported: "Lord, General Sun, there is a messenger from Dong Zhuo outside asking to see you!" ”

Gongsun Yi's heart moved, presumably that Dong Zhuo was afraid of Sun Jian's bravery, and sent a messenger to make peace, and casually chuckled: "Congratulations to Sun Jianjun." ”

"Where does the joy come from?" Sun Jian was slightly puzzled.

"Dong Zhuo respects General Sun as a hero, and he must have sent someone to make peace, but it is better for the general to avoid it."

Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with a smile: "Lord Gongsun is really joking." ”

"General Sun, don't take it seriously, it's just a joke." Gongsun Yi turned to the guard and said, "Please let him in." ”

The Confucian scholars from Luoyang bowed slightly to Sun Jian and Gongsun Yi, but when they saw Gongsun Yi, the words they had originally prepared were a little speechless, and they looked like they wanted to speak and stopped.

Gongsun Yi got up and said, "Since you are here to find Sun Jianjun, General Ben should avoid it, and you should talk slowly." ”

Sun Jian hurriedly stepped forward to stop Gongsun Yi, looked at the Confucian scholar and asked angrily, "You are here to get married!" ”

"Exactly, the Taishi has a daughter who wants to be married to the general's son"

"Shut up!" Sun Jian shouted violently, and the Confucian scholar's face changed suddenly.

"Go back and tell Dong Thief, he is going against the sky and oppressing the Holy Lord, I can't wait to destroy his nine clans, how can he marry the rebellious ministers and thieves, let Dong Thief surrender the city earlier, otherwise the jade will be burned! Get lost! ”

Sun Jian's eyes widened angrily, and a strong murderous aura swept in, so frightened that the Confucian scholars hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then got up and stumbled and fled, for fear that Sun Jian would change his mind and kill him.

"General Sun is really a big husband!"

Although he knew that Sun Jian would reject Dong Zhuo with words, when he really saw this scene, he was still infected by Sun Jian's enthusiasm.

If it is other princes, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be a snake with Dong Zhuo, as long as Dong Zhuo leaves, it is naturally indispensable to increase the official and enter the knighthood in the future, Dong Zhuo threatens the son of heaven to order not to be subordinate, and the promotion is just a sentence, Sun Jian is just a Changsha Taishou, but he can be unmoved, without selfish interests, he can be described as a hero.

"The last general, Sun Jian, only wants to do the right thing for heaven and kill Dong thief, how can he help the abuse."

"General Sun, please see, the Kwantung Righteous Army has been imprisoned by Chen Binghu, and it is inevitable that there will be many dreams at night, and our army should immediately attack Luoyang!" Gongsun Yi pointed to the sand table and had already made up his mind.

"It seems that Dong thief wants to escape, our army has rested properly, and now is the right time to enter the army!" Sun Jian also nodded in reconsideration.

*****

In the Luoyang Imperial Palace, the restless Dong Zhuo listened to the report of the envoy who went to make peace, and suddenly swept the food on the table in anger, and the bowls and dishes suddenly scattered to the ground, and everyone in the hall knelt on the ground and trembled, for fear of being killed in anger.

The Confucian who was in charge and the pro-messenger begged for mercy with fear: "Dong Gong, it's Sun Jian's powerlessness, no wonder the minister!" ”

Li Ru made a look, the Confucian priest hurriedly bowed and retreated, Li Ru retreated left and right, came to Dong Zhuo's side and whispered: "Now the Kwantung Righteous Army is deceiving me, and Su Ri'an Chen Binghu is eyeing the tiger, but he has no intention of entering the army. ”

"It's just that once Sun Jian and Gongsun Yi led the troops to attack and kill, the Kwantung Righteous Army was afraid of being robbed of the first credit, so they would inevitably rise up and attack the Tiger Prison Pass, although the Tiger Prison Pass was strong, but the soldiers had no will to fight, and it was only a matter of time before the Kwantung Righteous Army attacked the Pass."

"How this should be!" Dong Zhuo was in a difficult mood, and sighed more and more irritably.

Li Ru stroked his beard lightly, and said confidently: "Lord, it is better to lead troops to move the capital to Chang'an!" ”

"Move the capital?" Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, move the capital, Chang'an is vast and abundant, it is the place where the emperors of the past dynasties built the capital, not to mention that the lord has been operating there for many years, the foundation is strong, the Shihao is attached, there is still the natural danger of Tongguan, you can avoid the front of the heroes, and when they attack each other and disperse, the lord can lead the army out of Tongguan again, in order to map the world."

"It's good, it's just a rash move of the capital, I'm afraid that the teacher will be nameless, what can I do?" Hearing that he could temporarily avoid the advance of the Kwantung Righteous Army, Dong Zhuo suddenly became interested, and a Sun Jian had already given Dong Zhuo a headache, not to mention that in the future, all the princes of Kwantung would work together to besiege Luoyang.

Li Ru smiled heartily and said: "Haven't you heard such a ballad, there is a Han in the west, a Han in the east, and the deer walks into Chang'an, so there is no difficulty." ”

"What does that mean?"

"The first Han in the west should refer to Gaozu's support for the army to grow in Chang'an, and the twelve emperors have been transmitted, and the first Han in the east should refer to the prosperity of Emperor Guangwu in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the twelve emperors have also been passed on.

"Wonderful, nursery rhymes, gathering the will of heaven, presumably those courtiers don't dare to disobey, Wen You's words are exactly what I want, and tonight I will discuss the move of the capital with super ministers!"

Now that he has thought of an excuse, Dong Zhuo will naturally not hesitate, but this ancient capital of Luoyang must not be left to a group of princes, and those concubines will naturally have to be taken away, as for the mausoleum where the emperor is buried, Dong Zhuo has long coveted the many gold, silver and jewelry that accompany the burial.

It's just that because of the fact that he recruited scholars to serve him and appease the courtiers, Dong Zhuo did not act blatantly, and now he plans to move the capital to Chang'an, so naturally there is nothing to be polite.

That night, Dong Zhuo led the ironclad army to forcibly enter the palace of Emperor Han Xian, forcibly took away Emperor Han Xian and a group of concubines, and left none of the courtiers behind, and pressed to Chang'an together with their families.

Dong Zhuo ordered the Xiliang army to enter the city, arrest the rich households in Luoyang, there are thousands of families, plant the flag on the head, the big book 'anti-minister thief party', all beheaded outside the city, for a while the corpses are all over the field, the blood flows into a river, the Xiliang army drove the people of Luoyang, went to Chang'an, the slightest disobedient person was killed on the spot, and the people who died in the slaughter were countless.

Before leaving, Dong Zhuo ordered the soldiers to set fire everywhere in Luoyang, burning the houses of the residents, setting fire to the Zongmiao Palace, the north and south palaces, the flames were connected, and the Changle court was all scorched earth.

The monstrous flames swept in, some of the people of Luoyang who were lucky enough to hide in the cellar and escape the slaughter of the Xiliang army, before they could escape, they were soon engulfed by the fire, and Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Twelve Emperors, was scorched by the fire, which also indicated that the Han Dynasty was dying.

When Gongsun Yi and Sun Jian led the army into Luoyang, they saw the flames soaring into the sky, and the black smoke covered the ground.

Gongsun Yi watched the majestic ancient city turn into scorched earth, and remembered the scene when the army was defeated, and the scene of riding horses and stopping in front of Luoyang City kept coming to mind.

The fire stopped slightly, Gongsun Yi and Sun Jian led the army into the city immediately, and the eyes were full of devastation at a glance, and the miserable scene was like a hell on earth, and countless corpses that were burned to char and could not be identified were glued together, looking extremely terrifying.

At a glance, the originally prosperous street market and buildings have long been ruined, Gongsun Yi led the troops to explore for a long time, and could not find a living mouth at all, but Gongsun Yi did not give up, and kept looking for survivors in the ruins, and his soldiers couldn't stop it.

Sun Jian led the army all the way to the palace land, the original luxurious palace was already in ruins, the remaining flames were constantly flickering, and green smoke was rising.

Sun Jian clenched his fists and sighed slightly in his heart, he didn't expect to be run away by Dong thief, and now Luoyang has turned into a pile of scorched earth, and it may not be easy to lead the army to attack and kill Dong Zhuo who is going to Chang'an.

Now that the Kwantung Righteous Army has just entered the Tiger Prison Pass, which has almost been abandoned, and is eagerly rushing towards Luoyang, Sun Jian has long been disheartened by such an ally, and he has already made a sense of it. "My lord, there is a corpse in the well holding a brocade bag!" Suddenly, Cheng Pu, whose face was blackened, stepped forward to report.

"Let's go, let's see."

The corpse of the eunuch in palace clothes was placed on the ground, his body had already been soaked white, and he was holding a golden bag tightly in his arms.

Swing the sword to cut the golden lock, the people around the station were in an uproar, only to see the vermilion box, the flawless jade seal of the stable one, four inches in circumference, engraved with five dragons, the corner of the jade is missing a corner, inlaid with gold, there are eight characters on the seal: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity." ”
