182 Sun Wentai Luoyang Debao
Sun Jian was so sad and indignant that anyone who heard it would burst into tears.
Even if Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turban Army, in Jizhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou and other places, no matter how much trouble was made, people in the world still thought that if Luoyang was not chaotic, the Han would not be chaotic.
After that, Dong Zhuo led the army into Beijing, and Luoyang began its catastrophe, and then, it was as if it never stopped. Today, finally in the fire of winter, Luoyang, is completely finished.
As soon as Luoyang is finished, the Han Dynasty, even if it is still nominally there, it is also an ornament, and the world is the return of troubled times.
Such a truth, even if it is a Shengdou Xiaomin, at this time, it is very clear and understandable.
Sun Jian and Zhu Jun understand even more, which is why they are so out of shape and so full of tears.
However, after howling in the sky, Sun Jian immediately ordered to lead the army to pull out the camp and rush to Luoyang.
For a distance of more than 100 miles, he only spent most of the day's work, and this was still on the premise of preserving the physical strength of the soldiers, if he didn't care about the decline in the physical strength of the soldiers, resulting in a decline in combat power, he could have rushed to Luoyang one step earlier.
Just rushed to Luoyang City, but he couldn't lead the army into the city.
The entire Luoyang city outside the city, is full of a sea of fire, in the face of such a raging fire, it is completely beyond the power of manpower, Han Xian and Yang Fengbu, who arrived in Luoyang first, did not follow behind Li Dao Guo Yan and others, went west, but stayed in Luoyang, trying to do some manpower.
With the army led by Sun Jian and Zhu Jun joining, the work of extinguishing the fire finally improved, at least the southern suburbs of Luoyang, Taixue, Lingtai, Piyong and Mingtang were successfully preserved, but they faced the eastern, southern, and western cities, as well as the city of Luoyang. The army is not to mention extinguishing the fire, even if you want to enter, it is impossible.
Not to mention the North and South Palaces, which were completely engulfed in the fire.
At night, in the east of the city, in the tent of the Chinese army temporarily set up by Sun Jian's army, the lights and candles were bright, Zhu Jun, Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang. There are also Han Xian and Yang Feng, both with fireworks on their faces, and Mu Ran, tired, sitting speechless.
Han Xian and Yang Feng were originally subordinates of the chariot general Guo Tai. Now the two learned that Guo Taizao Li Dao and Guo Yan took a step and led the army west. Leave them behind. There was no need to discuss at all, and they decided not to serve Mrs. Guo anymore.
They were originally hostile to Sun Jian's army, but now, because they tried to extinguish the fire in Luoyang, they were unharmed.
After a long time, the veteran Zhu Jun sighed. Said: "Tomorrow, the old man will lead his headquarters to pursue westward, and he will not protect the saints." If you don't kill Li Dao Guo Yan, the old man won't be blind to death! ”
Sun Jianshang groaned there, Han Xian and Yang Feng glanced at each other, and both arched their hands and said: "The old general is loyal and unparalleled, and he admires him very much. ”
"Good, good!" Zhu Jun said hello repeatedly, with tears in his eyes, and said to the two, "I never thought that there are still two such loyal people in the recklessness, okay!" ”
After speaking, Zhu Jun turned to Sun Jian and asked, "Wentai, what about you, what do you want?" ”
The grief and indignation on Sun Jian's face has never dissipated, and he shook his head and replied: "The Luoyang fire, accumulated by the Han Dynasty for two hundred years, was destroyed in one fell swoop, and I don't know how many people died in the fire. ”
Zhu Jun nodded and replied, "Well, that's fine!" ”
The discussion was established, and Sun Jian allocated enough grain and grass to Zhu Jun and the others with the weight of the army, and each made corresponding preparations before dispersing.
Sun Jian lay in the tent, unable to sleep for a long time, and all that came to his ears was the crackling sound of the raging fire, as well as the roaring sound that sounded from time to time, which was caused by the collapse of a certain high-rise building hall.
The next day, Zhu Jun led his troops westward, Han Xian and Yang Feng led his troops to assist, and Sun Jian led an army of 20,000 people, still stationed in Luoyang, and began to clean up the ruins.
The first thing to clean up is all kinds of classics in Taixue, which is some distance away from Nanchengguo, the least affected by the fire, and the houses are still roughly intact, and the Xiping stone tablet standing in Taixue is unscathed.
Then there are Mingtang, Biyong, Lingtai and other places, which can be taken away, Sun Jian has stored them one by one, ready to take them away with the army.
Zuihou is outside the city of Luoyang, where the fire is getting smaller.
The fire burned for three days and three nights, and Sun Jian himself didn't know why he insisted on cleaning up these ruins here, but he really didn't want to lead the army to continue chasing westward, because, that road, many years ago, he had walked it, at that time, he was very high-spirited, but in the end, what was left to him was an unbearable memory.
If, Zhang Wen, the general of the cavalry at that time, listened to his advice and engaged Dong Zhuo, who was then a lieutenant general, in military justice for the crime of neglecting the military aircraft, and beheaded him on the spot, then this catastrophe in Luoyang today, and even the catastrophe of the Han Dynasty, could be eliminated because of this?
Sun Jian didn't have an answer, but he didn't want to lead the army to catch up, and he saw with his own eyes a symbol of the Han Zuihou, who was snatched up by everyone like a doll today.
Cleaning from the outside of the city, gradually extending to the city, in fact, after such a fire, there is nothing to clean up, nothing more than in the ruins to pick and pull around, to see if there are bones, if there are in one place for burial.
As for property, grain and grass, Sun Jian didn't think about it at all, some soldiers were quite lucky, and they were able to find some jade artifacts that could not be burned by fire, or golden lumps that were melted into a ball, and Sun Jian also let them dispose of it personally.
Cleaning up the ruins outside the city is a very torturous hard work, and there seem to be a lot of people buried in the fire, although it is now a harsh winter, and the smell of corpses is not good, but the smell of meat wafting inside and outside Luoyang City is more unbearable than the smell of corpses.
After nearly ten days of work, the 20,000 soldiers led by Sun Jian were cleaned up in the north and south palaces. It's just that at this time, Sun Jian issued a strict order, all the items found by the soldiers must be handed over, but sufficient compensation will be given.
Because any items found in the north and south palaces may be used by today's son, Sun Jian did not allow the soldiers to dispose of them themselves.
At night, the north wind was howling, the night sky was cold, the stars were shining, and there was no sign of snow, but Sun Jian was still standing alone on the tent as usual. Look up at the sky.
After a while, a commotion came, and Cheng Pu hurried over with something in his hand.
"Lord, please enter the account, there is a thing, I want the lord to see it!"
Sun Jian was slightly startled, looked at Cheng Pu, and saw that he had a serious face, holding a cloth bag in his hand. It doesn't look big, and he doesn't say anything at the moment, and he steps into the account.
Cheng Pu followed, knelt down opposite Sun Jian's desk, and solemnly put down the cloth bag. Uncovered layer by layer, Sun Jian saw it. Immediately gasped. I couldn't take my eyes off it.
It was a jade seal, about a few inches in circumference, twisted with five dragons, a corner was broken, and it was made up with gold, which was carved from a whole piece of jade. It is natural, simple and generous, and it is so quietly placed on the desk, and it has a breathtaking majesty that exudes from it.
"It's ......"
Sun Jian stretched out his hand and gently stroked the jade seal. Asked incredulously.
Cheng Pu's face was solemn, he reached out and picked up the jade seal, flipped it over, aimed the seal at Sun Jian, and said, "Lord, please look!" ”
On the printed surface, there are eight seal characters clearly engraved, and Sun Jian recognized it at a glance, which is the eight characters of "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang".
At this moment, Sun Jian was completely stunned, his eyes were staring at the jade seal tightly, and his mouth was wide open.
Cheng Pu carefully put the jade seal away, and called softly: "Lord, lord!" ”
Sun Jian came back to his senses, suddenly reached out and picked up the jade seal, flipped it over, and then looked at the printing surface carefully, yes, it was indeed the eight characters of "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity".
At this time, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, only felt that his mouth was dry, gently put down the jade seal, and asked: "This is, the jade seal of the country!" ”
Cheng Pu nodded and replied: "This is the hour of the hour, there are soldiers to report, Zhen Palace in a well has colorful clouds surging, subordinates think that the soldiers see the dazzling eyes, did not take it to heart, and to the unitary, the subordinates passed by this well, saw the soldiers have discussed, so let people go down the well, salvage a palace maid who committed suicide in the well, tied a small box wrapped in silk around the neck, the subordinates opened it to see the first glance, that is, they knew that it was extraordinary, and immediately encouraged the soldiers, put away the small box, and delayed until this time, before coming to the lord. ”
Sun Jian was silent, but his eyes were shining.
After pondering for a long time, Sun Jian nodded and said: "Okay, there is Lao Demou, and it is a big matter, first, it cannot be passed on to the public, and second, it must be convinced by all the soldiers, this is an ordinary jade seal." ”
"Then, do you want to continue cleaning up the ruins of Luoyang?"
Sun Jian looked at Cheng Pu and nodded firmly: "Of course, we must continue, until the cleanup is completed, we can collect the troops, return to Yuzhou, I should resign to the rear general, and return to Wu County." ”
Cheng Pu was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up, landed on one knee, and said to Sun Jian: "The lord is above, and Cheng Pu is subordinate to him, and he is willing to serve in front of the lord's stallion!" ”
Sun Jian hurriedly picked up Cheng Pu with both hands, with tears in his eyes, and said continuously: "Okay, good, if today's troubled times have appeared, how fortunate it is to be able to get help from virtue!" ”
Before this, Cheng Pu and Han Dang had persuaded Sun Jian several times to leave Yuan Shu, return to Changsha, or return to Jiangdong, and create his own foundation, but Sun Jian had been hesitant, and now seeing that Sun Jian had finally made up his mind, Cheng Pu was of course very happy in his heart.
He has been under Yuan Shu's account with Sun Jian for a long time, and he has never had a good impression of Yuan Shu, but Sun Jian picks at this time, and wants to stand on his own feet without Yuan Shu, and anyone will secretly guess whether he has obtained any treasure, so he is in such a hurry to leave.
And with Yuan Shu's suspicion, it will be even more so.
Cheng Pu put out his worries, Sun Jian also fell into silence, and after a long time, he picked up the jade seal of the country and sent it to his eyes to take a closer look, with a very resolute attitude, and said: "If the general really asks about this, Jian will offer this jade seal of the country in exchange for soldiers, horses, grain, grass and baggage!" ”
In this regard, Cheng Pu didn't have a good plan, but what he remembered was an allusion to his guilt.
Since there is a crime of conceiving a bi, let alone a national weapon like the jade seal of the country!
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Sun Jian still got up early to watch the stars, but his mood was very different from before.
Suddenly, a fiery red red star in the sky crossed from east to west, and stopped in the west, Sun Jian's heart moved, remembering this celestial phenomenon, which was an omen of the fall of the star in the west.
But immediately, Sun Jian smiled dumbly, he has been watching the sky at night for so many years, and he has never been fulfilled once, so this time, I'm afraid it will be the same. (To be continued......)
