Chapter 17 The Jade Seal of the Kingdom is in hand

Yang Ling took the bag and contained the vermilion wooden box locked with a gold lock.

When the wooden box was opened, I saw a small jade seal inside.

This jade seal is four inches in circumference, and a corner is missing next to it, and it is repaired with gold.

It is engraved with eight big characters, "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity"!

Zhao Yun on the side saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but show surprise on his face,

"Big brother, could it be that this is the jade seal of the country?!"

"Yes, this thing is the heirloom jade seal handed down by the First Emperor!"

Yang Ling played with the small heirloom jade seal in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart!

This is a national treasure, representing the imperial power and the clan!

Such a national treasure, after thousands of years of circulation, finally disappeared completely in the late Tang Dynasty.

Although the later Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty have records about the jade seals of the country, the authenticity is debatable.

It has to be said that it is a pity that future generations will not have the opportunity to meet.

But I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see the style of the jade seal of the country!

Not bad.

Today, Yang Ling took Zhao Yun into the palace, intending to catch up with Sun Jian and take the heirloom jade seal into his pocket.

Brother Sun Jian, the water of this heirloom jade seal is very deep, you can't hold it, so I will take it for you in advance.

Yang Ling played with it for a while, stuffed the jade seal into his arms, and admonished,

"Zilong, don't reveal this matter to outsiders."

"Whoa!"

Zhao Yun nodded heavily.

The significance of the jade seal of the country is extraordinary, if it is passed on, it will only cause unnecessary trouble like Sun Jian.

Yang Ling came to take away the heirloom jade seal today, which was also for other purposes.

After achieving his goal, Yang Ling left the palace with Zhao Yun and his party.

At this time, Dong Zhuo fled westward, and the fire in Luoyang City was also controlled, and a number of princes were stationed in the city.

As soon as Yang Ling returned to his camp, he saw a sergeant guarding there,

"Sir, Gong Cao ordered me to invite you over."

Yang Ling didn't think much about it, and walked towards the camp of the Chinese army.

Before he could enter the tent, he heard Cao Cao's loud shout,

"It's really a lack of vertical and conspiracy!"

Yang Ling was stunned, walked in, and saluted Cao Cao in the main seat,

"My subordinates have seen Cao Gong!"

After seeing Yang Ling, Cao Cao, who was originally pale, eased his expression and sighed helplessly,

"Sure enough, as Mr. said at the beginning!"

Just now, a group of princes were discussing in the camp.

Cao Cao tried his best to persuade the coalition forces to pursue Dong Zhuo together.

After all, the Xiliang army had just been defeated, its morale was low, and it was carrying millions of people.

If you take this opportunity to pursue, you may be able to defeat the Xiliang army and welcome the Son of Heaven back!

Yuan Shao and the others had no intention of pursuing, but just said that they should not act rashly.

But Cao Cao could see that these people just wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman!

Although he repelled Dong Zhuo this time and forced him to retreat to Chang'an, the Son of Heaven and the civil and military officials were still under his control.

What is the difference between such a result and failure?

While being angry, Cao Cao also admired Yang Ling more and more in his heart!

Obviously, the people are still in Chenliu, and they have not yet met with the princes, and they can detect their thoughts.

His control of people's hearts is really terrifying!

"Sir, I plan to lead the army alone and go west to pursue Dong Zhuo, I don't know what you think?"

Cao Cao froze and asked softly.

"This is not right! The Xiliang army was defeated but not defeated, and there were still 200,000 soldiers and horses, and there were fierce generals such as Lu Bu and Li Dao. ”

Yang Ling shook his head,

"With your strength as Gong Cao, it's really a bit overwhelming to pursue Dong Zhuo."

Hearing this, Cao Cao's expression couldn't help but darken.

Of course, he knew that with his own strength alone, he was not Dong Zhuo's opponent at all.

But he was unwilling, so he sat back and watched Dong Zhuo leave!

However, at this moment, Yang Ling's words changed,

"Although the subordinates don't want Cao Gong to take risks, if Cao Gong is interested, he can give it a try."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Some things don't have results if you work hard, but if you don't work hard, you will definitely have no results."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he silently recited this sentence in his heart.

After a moment, he raised his head and said with a determined gaze,

"Thank you, sir! Come on, immediately rectify the people and horses, and pursue the Xiliang army! ”

"Whoa!"

Xiahoudun and others gave up their orders!

……

With Cao Cao's order, Cao's army immediately took action.

Except for the necessary rations, all the heavy grain and grass were left in Luoyang City and handed over to Yang Ling to take care of.

Cao Cao led his army lightly and prepared to pursue Dong Zhuo.

Before leaving, Yang Ling took Zhao Yun to see him off.

"No matter what the war is, I hope that Cao Gong can take care of his own safety!"

"Sir, don't worry!"

Cao Gong nodded solemnly, pulled the reins, and ran into the distance.

Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and other generals led the army to follow closely behind.

Seeing their figures disappear into the distance, Zhao Yun on the side couldn't help but say,

"Big brother, Cao Gong is going...... I'm afraid it will be in vain! ”

Of course, Yang Ling knew the next results.

Cao Cao not only returned in vain, but simply returned defeated, and almost took his life.

But the reason why he didn't stop it, in the final analysis, is because the current Boss Cao is still a hot-blooded young man, and he only wants to help the Han family.

Only when Boss Cao meets Dong Zhuo's army and is hit by the ruthless reality can he completely wake up!

But no matter what, we still have to keep Boss Cao's safety first.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling beckoned to Zhao Yun and whispered a few words in his ear.

……

After a starry night, Cao Cao quickly led his army to the Xingyang realm.

The spies he sent also found out that Dong Zhuo's men were ahead.

So Cao Cao did not hesitate at all, and ordered to pursue him immediately.

However, just when Cao Jun had just spared the mountain dock outside Xingyang City, he saw a team of people on the road in front of him, and it was Lu Bu who took the lead!

"Haha, sure enough, Wen You was right."

Lu Bu laughed, raised the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, and said sharply,

"Cao Apu is not going to die soon!"

As soon as the words landed, he grabbed the horse's belly and led the army under his command to rush towards Cao Cao!

Cao Cao didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly ordered Xiahoudun to lead the men and horses to meet them.

Just when Lu Bu and Xiahoudun were inseparable, they only heard a noise on the left.

Cao Cao fixed his eyes, but saw Dong Zhuo's general Li Dao, leading a team of men and horses, rushing over!

He was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered Xiahou Yuan to step forward to meet the enemy.

But before he could catch his breath, there was another shout of killing on the right, and the Xiliang general Guo Yan led the army to kill him.

Cao Cao's heart sank, so he had to let Cao Ren lead the army to the top.

The Xiliang army was divided into three routes, giving full play to the advantages of the troops.

In addition, Lu Bu, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were all extremely brave, and for a while, Cao Jun was defeated and retreated!
