Chapter 184: The Temptation of the Jade Seal of the Country
In this case, Xiao Qiuyu was the first to find Cao Cao, and he planned to serve Cao Cao first, so that he could find a way to convince Yuan Shao to send troops with all his might.
In fact, Cao Cao in the early days was still a good courtier who was loyal to the monarch and patriotic, when he was an official in Luoyang, he was obviously in a high position, but he was willing to assassinate Dong Zhuo desperately...... With the situation in Luoyang at that time, even if Cao Cao's assassination was successful, it would be difficult for him to live.
After the plan to assassinate Dong Zhuo failed and Cao Cao had to flee from Luoyang, he immediately summoned all the princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo...... In the crusade against Dong Zhuo, only Cao Cao and Sun Jian fought desperately, and the other princes only preserved their own strength and were unwilling to fight hard with Dong Zhuo's army.
Yes, Cao Cao at this time was a loyal and patriotic man in the true sense of the word...... It's a pity that later, when Cao Cao held the power, he was gradually eroded by the ** of power, and he became the same as Dong Zhuo to blackmail, manipulate the government, proclaim himself prime minister, and coerce the princes.
Power is indeed a terrible thing, and it will tempt every brave man who slays a dragon into a new dragon.
...... "Meng Degong, Alliance Leader Yuan Shao seems to be unwilling to go all out to break through Luoyang for some reason in recent days, how should this be?
"Hmph, the erector is not enough and conspiracy." When he mentioned this matter, Cao Cao suddenly became angry, how many times did he persuade Yuan Shao, but he was always worried and refused to send troops with all his might, "Yuan Benchu is just a noble person, he is stubborn, greedy and profitable, and he is not a person who has achieved great things at all.
Xiao Qiuyu smiled and said confidently, "Since Yuan Shao is greedy and profitable, then I have a plan to lure him out.
"Oh, I don't know if you have a plan?" Cao Cao said curiously. Xiao Qiuyu said: "Meng Degong also served as an official in the court before, and you must also know that when the Ten Constants were in turmoil before, the jade seal of the country had been lost.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yes, Yuan Shao is also very clear about this matter." At the time of the Ten Constant Servants, Cao Cao was also leading his soldiers and horses to kill the eunuchs...... After the situation calmed down, Yuan Shao searched through most of the palace, but failed to find the heirloom jade seal, and everyone thought that the heirloom jade seal had been stolen out of the palace in the war.
Xiao Qiuyu said: "I have heard some rumors that Zhang Rang and other eunuchs rebelled that day, and in order to keep the jade seal, a palace maid hid it in a dry well in the south of the main hall...... Meng Degong might as well go and report this news to the Lord of the Yuan League, if he learned of this, he would definitely send troops to attack Luoyang.
The origin of the jade seal of the country is very large, the first was cast by King Wen of Chu, and later fell into the hands of Qin Shi Huang, becoming a token of Qin Shi Huang.
Later, Liu Bang broke through Xianyang, and the third son of Qin dedicated the jade seal to Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and since then the jade seal has become the treasure of the Han Dynasty.
Later, Wang Mang's socialist reform failed, and Liu Xiu, the son of the plane, obtained the jade seal of the country, which established the Eastern Han Dynasty, which has been passed down to this day until the rebellion of the Ten Constant Servants.
The value of the jade seal is by no means as simple as symbolism, and whoever gets the jade seal is expected to be touched by the law.
After Sun Jian got the jade seal, he immediately had the ambition to compete for the throne. After Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce used the jade seal to directly exchange thousands of soldiers and horses with Yuan Shu, which swept away the six counties of Jiangdong and laid the foundation of the Eastern Wu regime.
And after Yuan Shu got the jade seal of the country, he took it as a king by virtue of his self-reliance! "Is this serious?" Cao Cao's face did not change, but Xiao Qiuyu noticed it, and his breathing became much shorter.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Qiuyu guessed Cao Cao's plan, and he himself probably wanted to get involved in this heirloom jade seal.
"Oops, if Cao Cao wants to swallow the jade seal of the country by himself, won't he kill me?" Xiao Qiuyu was worried in his heart, but his expression did not show any flaws, pretending not to see Cao Cao's thoughts, and said, "Is it so important whether it is true or false?
As long as we pass on the news, if Yuan Shao doesn't believe it, it doesn't matter, and we have nothing to lose...... If he believes, Yuan Shao will inevitably attack Luoyang with all his might.
When the city of Luoyang is broken, Dong Zhuo gave the first law, he succeeded in rescuing the king and established immortality, even if he finds out that he has been deceived, will he still be angry with us for the crime of deception?
"This...... This is also a clever plan, so I'll go and tell Yuan Gong." Xiao Qiuyu could feel that there was a hint of loss in Cao Cao's tone.
Although Xiao Qiuyu lied and concealed it, he was not afraid of Cao Cao's revenge, and when Cao Cao got the news, at that time his main task had been completed, once He Shibi was in hand, he immediately turned his head and ran, and Boss Cao continued to find air to vent...... Even if he continues to stay in this world, Xiao Qiuyu doesn't have to be afraid of Cao Cao, he has now taken refuge in Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao's current power is much greater than Cao Cao's.
In retrospect, Yuan Shao was also unlucky, with Yuan Shao's territory at that time, whether it was a frontal battle, a war of attrition, or a protracted war, he could defeat Cao Cao; The huge strength gap in the battle of Guandu belongs to the one that can be won even if lying down.
However, during the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was defeated because of the successive rebellions of his subordinates...... Even so, in fact, after the defeat of Guandu, Yuan Shao could also plant a wave of fields to recruit a wave of soldiers and then turn the tables.
It's a pity that Yuan Shao suddenly suffered from a vicious illness and died too early, as soon as he died, several sons and subordinates fought among themselves...... Even so, it took Cao Cao ten years to eat Yuan Shao's territory.
...... [It hurts to think about the plot, and I can write it down smoothly when I don't have Kavin, and I don't know how to write it for more than two years when I'm Kavin...... How the plot will develop next, I have repeatedly thought about it.
】…… Second. "Everyone, I have already decided, immediately send troops to Luoyang to meet Dong Zhuo!" At this meeting, Yuan Shao announced the order.
However, when his order was announced, the princes reacted coldly. "In the previous battle of Tiger Prison, Xu Rong beheaded three generals under my account one after another, and now our army is disheartened, and it is difficult to fight.
Liu Dai said: "Our army has been short of food for a long time, and I wanted to ask Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, to borrow food, but he pushed back...... As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move the grain and grass, if the sergeant can't even eat, where will he have the strength to fight?
Qiao Mao immediately shouted, "Your soldiers and horses have food, aren't my soldiers and horses short of food?" They are now drinking porridge every afternoon, and if they don't let them eat enough, I'm afraid they will mutiny soon!
Sure enough, whenever Yuan Shao proposed to send troops, they began to complain and prevaricate. I want to chat with more like-minded people about the "Heavens and All Worlds Chat Forum", WeChat attention
