Chapter 40: The Jade Seal of the Country

Xu Rong had no choice but to abandon Cao Cao and challenge Xiahoudun, the two fought on the horse for a few rounds, Xu Rong was killed under the horse, and the other generals killed the remnants of the enemy together, and then Li Dian, Le Jin and others came together, saw Cao Cao, felt very happy, gathered the remaining soldiers, only more than 500 people, and then returned to Hanoi together.

The Xiliang army led by Dong Zhuo soon arrived in Chang'an, and Yuyi also entered Chang'an with the large army, compared with Luoyang, Chang'an is like a countryside, and the prosperity is not as good as Luoyang, and I don't know what Dong Zhuo is thinking about going to Chang'an.

In Luoyang, the other princes divided their troops to guard, Sun Jian was the first to enter Luoyang, organized soldiers to extinguish the fire in the palace, stationed troops in the city, and set up the camp tent on the original hall. Sun Jian ordered the sergeant to clean up and clean up the mess. All the graves that Dong Zhuo ordered to be dug up, he let people bury them, and on the basis of the original Taimiao, he simply set up three rooms, invited all the princes to set up ranks, and slaughtered cattle and sheep to pay tribute.

After the memorial was completed, the princes dispersed one after another, and Sun Jian returned to his camp late at night, looking at the stars in the sky, he was full of emotion.

When Sun Jian was a child, the defendant had taught some methods of observing astronomy, so he put the sword aside and began to observe, and found that there was some white gas in the crape myrtle star, Sun Jian sighed: "Now the emperor star is unknown, Dong thief is in chaos, and the lives are ruined!" After speaking, I didn't feel sad, and I actually shed tears.

Suddenly, there was a voice, Sun Jian hurriedly stepped forward to check, and following the direction pointed by the sergeant, he found that there was a colored light coming out of the well in the south of the hall, Sun Jian hurriedly asked people to light a torch and dive into the well water to find out.

The well recovered the body of a woman, who, though a long time had passed, had been preserved intact and had not decomposed, and she was dressed in palace clothes and had a bag around her neck.

Someone was sent to take it open and look at it, and found that there was a small vermilion box inside, locked with Jin Shuo.

Send someone to find a craftsman, open the lock, and find that there is a treasure inside, it is a jade seal of the country, four inches in circumference, engraved with five dragons, the only regret is that a horn is missing, but it is made up for with gold.

After Sun Jian got the jade seal of the country, he asked Cheng Pu, Cheng Pu replied: "This is the jade seal, this jade legend is that in the past under Jingzhou, seeing the phoenix resting on the stone, he presented him to King Chu Huai, to the twenty-sixth year of Qin, Qin Shi Huang got this piece of jade, so he sent someone to make him into a jade seal, Li Si carved eight words on it, and then Qin Shi Huang went to Dongting to inspect, suddenly the wind and waves were fierce, the boat capsized, and someone threw the jade seal into the lake area in a hurry. To the thirty-sixth year, Qin Shi Huang went to Huayin to hunt, someone took the jade seal and returned it to the Qin Dynasty, to Qin Shi Huang died, Qin III Ziying dedicated the jade seal to Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and later Wang Mang usurped the Han, the Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan used the jade seal to beat Wang Xun and Su Xian, damaged a horn, and used gold to inlay it, after the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu got this treasure, passed on the throne to the present. Now the ten permanent servants are in rebellion, robbing the young emperor to the north of Luoyang, and losing this treasure after returning to the palace. If you want to let the lord get it today, it must imply that the lord will ascend to the Ninety-Five in the future. You can't stay here for a long time, you have to return to Jiangdong quickly and do great things. ”

Cheng Pu explained the origin of the jade seal in detail, and Sun Jian thought that he was reasonable, so he said: "Your idea is exactly what I want, I want to resign tomorrow on the grounds of illness." ”

After this decision, the relevant people were gathered together and asked not to leak the news.

However, it is difficult to put an end to the mouth of Youyou, there is a person in Sun Jian's army, who is Yuan Shao's fellow countryman, and wants to take this opportunity to defect to Yuan Shao, so he escaped from the camp overnight, and then reported the situation to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao rewarded him and then secretly kept him in the army.

On the second day, Sun Jian went to Yuan Shao's camp to say goodbye, and said: "I have been feeling unwell recently, and I want to go back to Changsha to recuperate, and now I have come to sue for assassination!" ”

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "I know that your illness is because you got the jade seal of the country." ”

Sun Jian was very surprised and said, "How can you say this?" ”

Yuan Shao suggested: "Now the army is too thief to eliminate harm for the country." The jade seal is a treasure of the imperial court, since you have obtained it by accident, you should stay in the place of the alliance leader in front of everyone, wait until Dong Zhuo is killed, and then return it to the imperial court. Now you want to secretly take it away and keep it for yourself, what do you want to do? ”

Sun Jian knew that the matter had been exposed, but Yuan Shao had no evidence, and he quibbled: "How can the jade seal be here with me?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "Then what are the things in the well of the Jianzhang Palace?" ”

Sun Jian continued to defend and said, "I didn't have the jade seal of the country in the first place, why do you force me!" ”

Yuan Shao was a little impatient, and said, "You hurry up and bring it over, so as not to cause trouble." ”

In order to prove that he did not pass on the jade seal of the country, Sun Jian actually pointed to the heavens: "I swear by the heavens today, if I really get this treasure and hide it privately, he will definitely not die well in the future, and will die under the chaos of knives and arrows!" ”

This oath was a little poisonous, and the other princes around Yuan Shao persuaded: "Sun Jian actually swore like this, there must indeed be no heirloom jade seal on his body!" ”

Yuan Shao called out a sergeant, confronted him on the spot, and said, "When you salvage, is there any such person?" ”

Sun Jian was so angry that he drew his sword and was about to kill the sergeant. Yuan Shao also pulled out his sword and said, "When you kill this sergeant, you just don't take me seriously!" ”

The atmosphere in the camp suddenly became tense, Yuan Shao stood behind Yan Liang and Wen Chou, they all pulled out their swords, and behind Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang also held their weapons firmly in their hands.

Seeing this, all the princes hurriedly persuaded together, and Sun Jian got on his horse, withdrew his camp, and then left Luoyang.

Yuan Shao was naturally angry, wrote a letter on the spot, and then sent a henchman to Jingzhou overnight, presenting it to Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, and asked him to intercept Sun Jian on the way.

After Yuyi entered Chang'an City, he joined the reconstruction work, he thought that he had been lurking by Dong Zhuo's side, but he didn't have a chance to start, and now the only hidden weapon knife on his body was also confiscated by the other party, and there were tigers like Lu Bu around him to protect him, and it was too difficult to complete the task of killing Dong Zhuo.

So he began to think, if he can't do it, he must leave Chang'an as soon as possible and go to get together with his brothers as soon as possible.

Sun Jian's story of passing on the jade seal of the country spread in Luoyang City, and the three brothers of Liu Bei have been inquiring around Luoyang City, in order to find the whereabouts of Yuyi, and finally got the news from a sergeant and confirmed that Yuyi went to Chang'an with Dong Zhuo and others.

So they returned to Gongsun Zhan's side and explained some of the situation, they mentioned the fact that Yuyi shot Liu Bei with a flying knife, and they didn't know what he was thinking now.
