Chapter 215 Sun Jian also fished out a jade seal of the kingdom
Wang Kuang left Hanoi County with a lot of food and grass and headed all the way to Mount Tai.
When we reached the border with Pingyuan County, there was a bang and a group of soldiers and horses rushed out to block the road.
The leader has red phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, a face as heavy as a jujube, a short beard under his chin, and a big knife in his hand.
It was Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang.
Wang Kuang recognized Guan Yu at a glance.
Not only because of Guan Yu's unique appearance, but more importantly, when the princes in Hanoi gathered for an alliance, Wang Kuang despised Guan Yu many times.
If Gongsun Zan hadn't stopped him, Wang Kuang would have had Guan Yu killed!
It can be said that there has long been a feud between the two.
"Guan, General Guan, I don't know why you led people to block my way?"
Wang Kuang smiled at Guan Yu and said this.
At this time, Wang Kuang wanted to speak much more pleasantly. He no longer addressed Guan Yu as a horse archer, but directly called him "general", which was a more respectful title.
Guan Yu Danfeng narrowed his eyes and said nothing. He waved his hand behind him, and immediately someone jumped out of the formation!
"Thief, you killed my brother, do you still remember?
That's your sister-in-law, how could you be so cruel!"
This man led some people and pointed the knife at Wang Kuang, yelling and gnashing his teeth.
This person is none other than Hu Mubao, the younger brother of Hu Muban, the brother-in-law who was killed by Wang Kuang Dayi before.
Wang Kuang's expression changed greatly, and he was about to explain, saying that he was confused for a moment and fell into Yuan Shao's mischief, so he did such a stupid thing.
Guan Yu, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, had already galloped towards Wang Kuang without saying a word.
Hu Mubao and other relatives of Hu Muban, as well as the soldiers and horses led by Guan Yu, also charged with Guan Yu.
Wang Kuang was shocked in his heart and turned his horse to leave.
But how can he resist Guan Yu, who has been holding back his anger for a long time?
A quarter of an hour later, Guan Yu raised his knife and chopped off Wang Kuang's head!
As for Wang Kuang's nearly a thousand soldiers, as well as the grain, grass and weapons they carried, as well as Hu Mubao, Hu Muban's younger brother, and Hu Muban's relatives, they all returned to Guan Yu.
He was escorted back to Pingyuan County by Guan Yu and his troops...
These days, Liu Bei, who couldn't help crying whenever he thought of Zhang Fei, finally showed some smile on his face after seeing Guan Yu returning victoriously and the harvest he brought back...
And Yuan Shao, after learning the news, was very happy and began to look for people who were very obedient to him and presented them as the new governor of Hanoi...
…
Moving forward in time, the location came to Daguguan, south of Luoyang.
The warrior Sun Jian, who had reorganized his troops, once again came to Dagong Pass.
It's just that in the past, Dagu Pass, which was heavily guarded by soldiers, was now deserted.
This time, Sun Jian did not waste a single soldier, and easily broke through the southern gate of Luoyang.
After arriving here, he couldn't wait to rush his troops and march all the way to Luoyang City.
Because he saw that Luoyang City was still smoking, maybe if he rushed there at this time, Luoyang City could still be saved!
After leading his troops and horses all the way to Luoyang, even though Sun Jian had already made some mental preparations, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot!
It is true that Luoyang City, which used to be prosperous in the past, is extremely dilapidated at this time!
For a moment, it was unbelievable!
Sun Jian stood at the south gate of Luoyang, staring at the black hole burned by the fire at the south gate of Luoyang in a daze.
As for the outer wall near the city gate, someone used a white brush to draw a series of five one-stroke star patterns. The star pattern that should not appear at this time did not enter his eyes at all.
…
"Enter the city to put out the fire!"
Sun Jian, who was stunned for a while, shouted loudly!
Following his order, his soldiers and horses rushed into Luoyang City to extinguish the still burning fire.
And cover up the mausoleum that was not even covered up after being discovered by Dong Zhuo's soldiers...
Seeing how the once prosperous city of Luoyang had been ruined like this, and the tombs of past emperors had all been excavated, Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, shed tears for it more than once...
It was at this time that Sun Jian's generals came flying all the way and told Sun Jian that they seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
Sun Jian followed this man all the way and came to the dilapidated palace.
"The governor is here!"
Following this shout, many people gathered here dispersed all of a sudden.
Sun Jian strode over and saw the swollen and swollen body of a woman in palace clothes.
On the way here, he had already learned what happened from the general's mouth.
It is said that when some soldiers were fetching water to put out the fire in the palace, they found a female corpse floating in the well.
With her blocking it here, it was very inconvenient to fetch water, so we fished it out.
Then it was discovered that the female corpse had a brocade bag hanging around her neck.
After opening the brocade bag, a piece of jade seal appeared.
They felt that this matter was unusual, so they went to see their village chief...
Sun Jian opened the bag and saw a jade seal.
The jade seal is four inches square, with five dragons intertwining carved on it. There is a missing corner on the side, which is inlaid with gold.
Just seeing this look, Sun Jian's heart skipped a beat.
When he saw the eight seal characters engraved on the jade seal, "Ordered by Heaven, he will live forever", his heart beat even harder!
Jade seal!
The national jade seal!
The jade seal, which has been missing since the Shichang Shizuo massacred General He Jin, is actually here!!
Moreover, he was given it by himself!
While being extremely excited, the first thought that came to Sun Jian's mind was to return the jade seal to the imperial court so that it could be in the hands of the emperor.
After all, the imperial seal belongs to the emperor!
But then I remembered what the Han Dynasty had become, and the emperor was young and in the hands of Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo, judging from what he did, was not a peaceful person at all.
Even if someone could usurp the throne in the future, it would not be surprising.
Under such circumstances, giving the jade seal to the emperor is basically the same as giving it to Dong Zhuo.
Moreover, with the Jade Seal in hand, it will be much more legitimate for Dong Zhuo to usurp the throne in the future!
It's better to leave it to yourself first...
After thinking about this, Sun Jian said: "It's not a precious thing, it's just the jade seal of a female official in the palace!"
"If you put out the fire well, I will reward you later!"
He said this out loud, pretending to be nonchalant, and put the jade seal into his arms.
"The shape looks quite unique. Take it back for my little daughter to play with. It can also be regarded as an object in the palace..."
Before leaving, Sun Jian added this...
Originally, according to Sun Jian's thoughts, after saving the fire in Luoyang, he once again led his troops and horses all the way to the west to pursue Dong Zhuo's troops.
As a result, at this juncture, he unexpectedly obtained the Imperial Seal!
Moreover, at this time, he also knew that Liu Cheng had defeated the pursuing Bao Xin and others outside Hulao Pass.
The person who knew that Dong Zhuo arranged to lead troops and horses to the rear was Liu Cheng and Liu Kede.
Under this situation, he couldn't help but become hesitant in his heart.
Later, we received news that Bao Xin, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Yuan Shao and others began to withdraw their troops from Hanoi, and the massive anti-Dong Zhuo alliance was dispersed.
Faced with this situation, even though Sun Jian was extremely ambitious, he couldn't help but sigh and began to convey orders to withdraw his troops from Luoyang.
Go all the way east, exit Hulao Pass, exit Sishui Pass, and then go to Nanyang...
Of course, during this process, some persuasion from Sun Jian's trusted generals such as Han Dang, Cheng Pu, and Zu Mao, who learned that Sun Jian had obtained the Imperial Seal, was also indispensable...
When Sun Jian was heading to Nanyang, someone was speeding towards where Yuan Shao was.
At the same time, there were also people who quickly passed the news to Yuan Shu in Nanyang.
There are many discerning people in this world, but not everyone can be deceived or convinced by what Sun Jian said...
"What?!"
After getting the news from the person who was from Runan and originally belonged to Sun Jian, but now wanted to use this news as a way to get promoted and came to Yuan Shao to inform him, Yuan Shao couldn't help but suddenly
Stand up.
"Well done to you, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai!"
He shouted loudly like this.
After a while of this, Xu You, a confidant of Yuan Shao's men, came in a hurry.
After another half an hour, Guo Tu, who was still nominally a subordinate of Jizhou Mu Han Fu, came to Yuan Shao...
After another half day, a messenger carried Yuan Shao's handwritten letter and rushed towards Jingzhou.
I went to deliver the letter to Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou who had just established a foothold in the extremely complicated land of Jingzhou after taking office...
Moving forward in time, we arrived at the time when Sun Jian discovered the imperial seal in the palace well.
Liu Cheng, who was leading his soldiers and horses all the way to the west, recalled the five stars drawn in a row outside the broken city gate of Luoyang's south gate, and his face couldn't help but reveal a smile.
Got some smiles.
In this day and age, not many people can draw a five-pointed star like this.
Liu Cheng is of course one of them.
The remaining two people are Liu Shui and Lu Yang.
Liu Shui and Lu Yang belonged to Liu Chengjiao and them.
Although this thing is simple, it seems very unique in today's era.
The five-pointed star on the south gate wall was left by Lu Yang.
This is the way Liu Cheng and Lu Yang agreed to convey the news.
What it means is that things have been completed smoothly according to plan!
This was a temporary code word set by Liu Cheng and Lu Yang. It only meant that what happened this time was of the same nature as the "tasteless, tasteless" Gongsun Zan blurted out before.
Recalling what he had explained to Lu Yang, it would be strange if Liu Cheng didn't have a smile on his face.
After all, that is the national jade seal!
The imperial seal itself is a symbol of the highest power and a symbol of the legitimacy of imperial power.
For Liu Cheng, an ambitious person who came from later generations and wanted to compete for that high position, the Imperial Seal is undoubtedly an excellent gift!
And in addition to these, the Chuanguo Jade Seal itself also has high historical and cultural significance.
Because the predecessor of this thing is Heshi Bi!
From birth to now, I have witnessed too much history.
Such a thing of great historical significance has not been able to be passed down forever.
Liu Cheng, who came from later generations, knew that this thing was lost in the long river of history...
For the loss of such a valuable thing, Liu Cheng felt deeply regretful more than once in later generations.
It is such a pity that such a valuable cultural relic was lost like that!
Now he has come to this era, and his men have followed his prompts and orders to find the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.
Such a valuable and meaningful thing is now in his hands. How can this not make Liu Cheng feel sincerely happy?
In addition, another reason why Liu Cheng smiled was that he had made another arrangement around the imperial seal.
The arrangement was for Lu Yang to take the real jade seal and then place a fake jade seal that he had prepared in advance at the place where the jade seal was found.
With the erudite Cai Yong, his father-in-law, Liu Cheng knew what the Chuan Guo Jade Seal looked like after some insinuations.
It can still be done by asking someone to imitate a similar one.
Liu Cheng made such a fake jade seal and put it there, waiting for others to discover it later. Obviously, he didn't have too many good intentions.
The biggest purpose is to leave something very stimulating to Yuan Shao and others in Guandong.
Let those in Guandong, like me, appear to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, but in fact they are all ambitious beings. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the jade seal to engage in intrigue, it is best to knock out the dog's brains!
In this case, it will be much easier when you have your hands free to deal with them!
Who would discover the fake jade seal first? According to the historical process, Sun Jian, who was sent to Luoyang by command, or some other people or forces would discover it. It made no difference to Liu Cheng.
Because no matter who discovers it, it will eventually fall into the hands of those ambitious guys, causing a lot of drama.
As for whether his appearance would lead to some changes in the course of history, Liu Cheng also considered the fact that the fake jade seal had never been discovered.
If it really takes a long time and there is no news about the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo, he will personally take action when the time comes and secretly arrange some people to accidentally discover the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo and deliver it to one of the hands.
