The road from Luoyang to Chang'an is not far, but it requires trekking through mountains and rivers. Along the way, it passes through Mianchi, Hangu Pass, Tongguan, along the Yellow River, and the Weishui River to the west for more than 600 miles. The rear team led by Long Fei are all dignitaries.
When these people traveled such a long distance, they started complaining after only a few steps. Some veterans of the Han Dynasty even pointed at Long Fei's nose and cursed. Long Fei could bear this.
Just after Mianchi, Shangshu servant She Zheng Gongye gathered Chen Fan, Dou Wu, He Ting, Wu Chushi and other important ministers, and asked Long Fei for wine and meat on the grounds of the hard journey. When Dong Zhuo left, there was not much food and grass left behind.
Tens of thousands of troops returned from Hulao Pass. They might be able to get to Chang'an by frugally using the food and grass. Needless to say, there is no need to talk about wine and meat. For the first time, Long Fei ignored the requests of Zheng Gongye and others. Unexpectedly, these people became even more entangled.
More people are making trouble.
Zheng Gongye regarded himself as an old minister of the Han Dynasty, and he always moved out of his late emperor and his ancestors, which made Long Fei irritable and restless. So he suddenly raised his knife and chopped Zheng Gongye to the ground in front of all the officials. He looked at Long Fei's hand.
Looking at the sword that was still dripping with blood and looking at Zheng Gongye who was lying on the ground having cramps from time to time, the ministers suddenly became extremely quiet.
"If the tiger doesn't show off its power, you will treat it like a sick cat? Will you be willing to die only if someone is killed?" Long Fei held up his sword with a fierce look in his eyes: "From today on, there are only two meals a day. Food is distributed not according to population, but according to household.
For those who bring hundreds of servants, you can take care of their rations yourself. I have no obligation to feed them like you masters! Also, if you travel at least fifty miles every day, if there is any troublemaker, he will be your role model! Get out!"
After Zheng Gongye's death, the officials became much quieter. They behaved themselves every day and obeyed the soldiers' orders. It was all up to Long Fei to decide when to go and when to stop. No one dared to cause trouble anymore, and they went to Chang'an smoothly.
On this day, when he was about to enter Hangu Pass, Xu Shu found Long Fei, pulled him aside, and whispered: "There is news from above! There is a new mission!" As he said this, he handed him a bamboo slip.
To Long Fei. Long Fei rolled his eyes: "Nian, I don't know the words!"
"It said that Sun Jian probably found the jade seal in the ruins of Luoyang and hopes to get it back!" Xu Shu paused: "The Lord is very dissatisfied with our action to assassinate Sun Jian. If we can't get the jade seal back this time, we will suffer disaster."
Maybe it’s you and me!”
After hearing the word "Jade Seal", Long Fei remembered that it was explained in both the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Sun Jian found the Jade Seal in a dry well in the palace, but hid it. Unexpectedly, he was reported to Yuan Shu, and for this he still
He almost made a move. "Jade Seal?" Long Fei thought for a while and suddenly asked Xu Shu: "Isn't the Jade Seal just a piece of jade? What do we need it for? And it can't be eaten!"
Xu Shu said: "You don't need to ask these questions. The Lord has his own reasons for doing this. Now Sun Jian and the others are still in Luoyang. It will be even more difficult if they all return to their respective fiefdoms."
"What do you think we should do? Do you have any good ideas?" Long Fei looked at Xu Shu.
Xu Shu said: "Aren't you the most powerful? You single-handedly robbed the coalition of food and grass. This time you follow the same pattern. If you enter Sun Jian's camp, find the jade seal, and take it out, it's over."
"That's so easy to say, why don't you go?" Long Fei glared at Xu Shu: "That's life-threatening!" He turned around and left.
The jade seal is not just one piece as we say. Since the Qin Dynasty, the emperor's seal has been specifically named "Xi" and is made of jade, so it is called "Jade Seal". There are six jade seals in total, which are called "Emperor's Seal" and "Emperor's Seal".
"Xingxi", "Emperor's Seal", "Emperor's Seal", "Emperor's Xingxi", "Emperor's Letter". In addition, there is another party that is not among these six directions, which is the "Jade Seal of the State".
"Jade Seal of Chuan Guo", also known as "Jade Seal of Chuan Guo", is a seal passed down by emperors after the Qin Dynasty. It was engraved on the order of the First Emperor of Qin. It is four inches in diameter and has five dragons on it. On the front is engraved with the words "By Order" written by Li Si
"In the sky, may you live long and prosperous" with eight seal characters as a token of the legitimacy of the divine power of the emperor. Later, emperors of all dynasties regarded obtaining this seal as a symbol, treating it as a rare treasure and an important weapon of the country. It is said that obtaining it symbolizes that they "received the order to
"Heaven", if it is lost, it means that he has "exhausted his strength". Anyone who ascends to a great position without this seal will be ridiculed as a "white emperor", showing lack of confidence and being despised by the world. This will encourage people to seek great treasures.
People fought for it, causing the jade seal to be passed down to the country to change its owner many times and toss around in Chi County, China for more than 2,000 years. It finally disappeared and has no trace to this day, which often makes people sigh with regret.
During the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang led his troops into Xianyang first. The emperor of Qin, the Gentleman Ziying, dedicated the imperial seal to Liu Bang. After Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty and ascended the throne, he wore this imperial seal, known as the "Han Imperial Seal". After that, the jade seal was treasured in Changle Palace and became the
Symbol of imperial power. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang took power. Emperor Liu Ying was only two years old, and the jade seal was controlled by the Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan. Wang Mang ordered Anyang Marquis Wang Shun to force the queen mother to hand over the jade seal. When the empress dowager threw the jade seal to the ground angrily, a corner of the jade seal was thrown off.
Gold repaired it, leaving flaws from now on.
After Wang Mang's defeat, the jade seal changed hands several times, and finally fell into the hands of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and was passed down to all the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty. When the young emperor was young, Shi Chang's servants made a rebellion, and Liu Bian fled, unable to take the jade seal away in time. When he returned to the palace, he found that the jade seal was missing.
Unexpectedly, he fell into a dry well, allowing Sun Jian to escape.
During the night break, Long Fei called everyone together and talked about the jade seal. Everyone was surprised. It is said that the jade seal is a symbol of the monarch, but Sun Jian hid it, which shows that Sun Jian was not as loyal and patriotic as the rumors said.
.Now that we know that the jade seal is in Sun Jian's hands, there are only three ways to get it back: steal, rob, or lie.
Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "That's not necessarily the case. I have another way, called a plan!"
"What's the explanation?"
Jia Xu said: "It is said that the jade seal of the country is a sacred object. It is said that it can be ordered by heaven. In this case, I think Sun Jian is not the only one among the princes who has this intention!"
"Brilliant plan! Wonderful plan!" Xu Shu clapped his hands and said, "In order to seize the jade seal, we must attack each other. Then we will have a chance! I will do it right away and let people release the news, saying that Sun Jian has obtained the jade seal passed down to the country."
Xu Shu left happily. Long Fei glanced at Jia Xu: "Wen He! You are so unreasonable! He has already left, tell me your next move?"
Jia Xu smiled: "It's nothing. To put it bluntly, it's just stealing the dragon and turning it into a phoenix! Whoever gets the imperial seal will have destiny. Doesn't my lord have this idea?"
"Me? I don't believe in that!" Long Fei shook his head: "I believe in one sentence, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. If a broken stone is so powerful, how could the Qin country be destroyed? How could the Han Dynasty be like this? They
Take it away if you want, I won't join in the fun!"
"Yes! Big brother is right!" Everyone nodded. Long Fei's subordinates were all from the common people and knew what the people wanted. Long Fei's words were easy to understand. Even Dian Wei nodded: "Boss, I am Lao Dian.
Support you!"
Jia Xu nodded: "In that case, let's sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and see if this imperial seal finally falls into the hands of the 'emperor'!"
Not long after the news was released, there was movement in the coalition camp. Yuan Shu used an excuse to detain Sun Jian's family members in order to blackmail Sun Jian into handing over the jade seal. At the same time, Yuan Shao sent his confidant Zhou Xin to serve as the governor of Yuzhou and seized Sun Jian's territory. Liu Biao sent general Huang Zu in Jingzhou
Stationed in Yiyang to cut off Sun Jian's return. The three princes used a three-pronged approach to force Sun Jian into a desperate situation.
Cheng Pu said: "Lord, we have no way out now. This jade seal is an ominous thing, so it's better to abandon it!"
"No!" Huang Gai said: "The jade seal is God's will. If you know it, it will have the effect of conquering the world. This is the auspicious light of heaven. You must not abandon it. Don't worry, lord, we will protect you."
Sun Jian nodded: "It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. I want to go back to Changsha and wait for the opportunity. What do you think?"
"What about the mother and siblings?" Sun Ce asked.
Sun Jiandao: "What Yuan Shu wants is the jade seal. Before he gets the jade seal, he will not do anything to your mother. He will just wait for an opportunity to rescue them."
Han Dang added: "I heard that Liu Biao sent Huang Zu to intercept us in Yiyang. Without Yuan Shu's food and grass, it would be difficult for us to break through."
"What a joke! There is no place in the world that I, Sun Jian, can't go through!" Sun Jian gritted his teeth and said, "For Huang Zu, I didn't take him seriously. I was forced to invade Xiangyang and seize Jingzhou from him."
Although Sun Jian and Yuan Shu had a stalemate, Sun Jian was still Yuan Shu's general. Since he was leaving, he had to say goodbye to Yuan Shu. When they arrived at Yuan Shu's tent, Yuan Shu's generals were divided into two groups, and there were hundreds of guards guarding the tent.
, the atmosphere was solemn and slightly murderous. When they reached the entrance of the big account, General Zhang Xun stopped Sun Jian and others and motioned them to take off their swords. Sun Jian had no choice but to take off his swords and then entered the account.
"Sun Jian, you are so bold!" As soon as they met, Yuan Shu immediately shouted loudly: "It is a serious crime to hide the jade seal secretly. Hand it over quickly, and I can exonerate you in front of your majesty!"
Sun Jian took his time and said: "General Zuo, where do you start with these words? I have never seen any jade seal, so how can I be guilty of hiding it?"
Qiao Rui sneered and said: "Sun Jian, please don't deny it. Someone has already told my lord the whole matter. Do you still remember Luoyang Dry Well?"
"Who actually framed me, asked General Qiao to bring him out for confrontation!" Sun Jian thought, there were indeed some soldiers besides himself in the palace that day. Could it be possible that someone really made the whistleblower. But he couldn't admit it even if he died.
"Bold Sun Jian, you still don't admit it until now, come here, capture it for me!" Yuan Shu gave an order, and several guards rushed forward. Sun Ce saw the opportunity and suddenly took action, grabbing the wrist of one of the guards and flipping it
, pulled him closer to his arms, took out his sword, and put it on his neck. Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others also responded, grabbed several weapons, and guarded Sun Jian. Sun Jian was known as the Jiangdong Tiger.
Yuan Shu knew his majesty clearly. He was afraid of the weapons outside the door, but he didn't expect that his own people still couldn't do it. In this big tent, the opponent had weapons in his hands, and it would be easy to take his head.
"Hehehe..." Yuan Shu chuckled and said, "Oh! Why is General Sun doing this? I'm just asking, put down your weapons! Put them down!"
