Xu Rong had no choice but to abandon Cao Cao and challenge Xiahou Dun. The two fought on horseback for several rounds, and Xu Rong was killed under the horse. The other generals fought back the remaining enemy troops, and then Li Dian, Le Jin and others joined forces. When I got up, I was very happy to see Cao Cao. I gathered the remaining soldiers, only more than 500 people, and then returned to Hanoi together.
The Xiliang army led by Dong Zhuo quickly arrived in Chang'an, and Yuyi also entered Chang'an with the large army. Compared with Luoyang, Chang'an is like a countryside, and its prosperity is not as prosperous as Luoyang. I don't know where Dong Zhuo is. I have to go to Chang'an for whatever reason.
In Luoyang, other princes divided their troops to garrison. Sun Jian was the first to enter Luoyang, organized soldiers to put out the fire in the palace, garrisoned troops in the city, and set up camps on the original main hall. Sun Jian ordered the sergeants to clean up and clean up the mess. All the tombs that Dong Zhuo ordered to be dug were buried. He simply built three rooms on the basis of the original Ancestral Temple, and invited all the princes to set up their rankings and slaughter cattle and sheep to offer sacrifices.
After the memorial ceremony, the princes dispersed one after another. It was already late at night when Sun Jian returned to his camp. Looking at the stars in the sky, he was filled with emotion.
When Sun Jian was a child, the defendant taught him some methods of observing astronomy, so he put his sword aside and began to observe. He found that there was some white air in the Ziwei star. Sun Jian sighed: "Now the Emperor's star is unknown, and Dong's thieves are causing chaos in the country." , life is in ruins!" After saying this, I felt sad and even shed tears.
Suddenly there was a sound, and Sun Jian quickly stepped forward to check. Following the direction pointed by the sergeant, he found a colored light coming from the well in the south of the hall. Sun Jian quickly had someone light a torch and dive into the well water to find out.
A woman's body was recovered from the well. Although a long time had passed, the body was well preserved and not rotten. She was wearing palace clothes and had a brocade bag around her neck.
He sent someone to take it out and look, and found a small scarlet box inside, locked with gold.
He sent someone to find a craftsman, opened the lock, and found a treasure inside. It was a national jade seal, four inches in diameter, with the Five Dragons Intersection engraved on it. The only regret was that one corner was missing, but it was made up for with gold.
After Sun Jian got the jade seal passed down from the country, he asked Cheng Pu, and Cheng Pu replied: "This is the jade seal. Legend has it that in the past, when he was under Jingzhou, he saw a phoenix resting on a stone, so he presented it to King Huai of Chu. In the twenty-sixth year, Qin Shihuang got this jade and sent someone to make it into a jade seal. Li Si carved eight characters on it. Later, Qin Shihuang went to Dongting to inspect. Suddenly, there was a strong wind and waves, and the boat capsized. In a panic, Someone threw the jade seal into the lake area. In the thirty-sixth year, Qin Shihuang went hunting in Huayin. Someone took the jade seal and returned it to the Qin Dynasty. When Qin Shihuang died, the third emperor of Qin, Ziying, dedicated the jade seal to Han Gaozu. Liu Bang, and later Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty. Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan used a jade seal to hit Wang Xun and Su Xian. One corner was damaged, so she inlaid it with gold. After Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu got this treasure, he passed the throne to the present. Now the Shichang servants are causing chaos. , robbed the young emperor to Mang Mountain in the north of Luoyang, and lost this treasure after returning to the palace. Now that God's will allows the lord to get it, it must be a hint that the lord will ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future. He cannot stay here for a long time, and he must return quickly. Go to Jiangdong and plan for big things."
Cheng Pu explained the origin of the jade seal in detail. Sun Jian thought that what he said was reasonable and said: "Your idea is exactly what I want. I think I will resign tomorrow because of illness."
After making this decision, the relevant personnel were called together and asked not to leak the news.
However, it is difficult to stop Youyou's mouth. There was a man in Sun Jian's army who was Yuan Shao's fellow countryman. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to defect to Yuan Shao. He escaped from the camp overnight and reported the situation to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao rewarded him and then secretly kept him in the army.
The next day, Sun Jian came to Yuan Shao's camp to say goodbye and said: "I have been feeling unwell recently and wanted to return to Changsha to recuperate. Now I come here specifically to complain!"
Yuan Shao smiled and said: "I know that the disease you got is because you got the imperial seal."
Sun Jian was very surprised and said: "How can you say this?"
Yuan Shao suggested: "Now we are raising troops to eliminate the evil for the country. The jade seal is a treasure of the imperial court. Since you got it by chance, you should stay at the leader's place in front of everyone, wait until Dong Zhuo is killed, and then return it to the leader." Court. Now you want to secretly take Qi away and take it as your own, what exactly do you want to do?"
Sun Jian knew that the matter had been exposed, but Yuan Shao had no evidence, so he argued with Yu Shi: "Why is the Jade Seal here with me?"
Yuan Shao asked: "Then what are the things in the well of Jianzhang Palace?"
Sun Jian continued to defend, saying: "I don't have the national jade seal in the first place, why do you need to force me!"
Yuan Shao became a little impatient and said: "Go and get it over quickly to avoid trouble."
In order to prove that he did not inherit the imperial seal, Sun Jian actually pointed to heaven and said: "I swear to heaven today that if I really get this treasure and hide it privately, I will definitely not die well in the future and will die from random swords and arrows." !”
This oath was a bit poisonous. The other princes around Yuan Shao advised: "Sun Jian actually swore like this. He must not have any national jade seal on him!"
Yuan Shao called out a sergeant and confronted him on the spot, asking, "Did you see this person when you were salvaging?"
Sun Jian was very angry and drew his sword to kill the sergeant. Yuan Shao also drew his sword and said, "You kill this sergeant because you don't take me seriously!"
The atmosphere in the camp suddenly became tense. Behind Yuan Shao stood Yan Liang and Wen Chou. They all drew their swords. Behind Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang also held their weapons firmly in their hands.
Seeing this, all the princes quickly persuaded him, and Sun Jian mounted his horse, removed his camp, and then left Luoyang.
Yuan Shao was naturally still angry, so he wrote a letter on the spot, and then sent a confidant to Jingzhou overnight and presented it to Jingzhou Governor Liu Biao, asking him to intercept Sun Jian on the way.
After Yu Yi entered Chang'an City, he joined the reconstruction work. He wanted to lurk next to Dong Zhuo, but he had no chance to make a move. Now his only hidden weapon, the knife, was confiscated by the other party, and he was protected by tiger generals like Lu Bu. , it is too difficult to complete the task of killing Dong Zhuo.
So he began to think that if it didn't work, he should leave Chang'an as soon as possible and reunite with his brothers as soon as possible.
The news about Sun Jian passing on the imperial seal spread a lot in Luoyang City. The three Liu Bei brothers had been snooping around in Luoyang City to find the whereabouts of Yu Yi. Finally, they got the news from a sergeant and confirmed that Yu Yi was following him. Dong Zhuo and others went to Chang'an.
So they returned to Gongsun Zan and explained some of the situation. They mentioned the fact that Yu Yi shot Liu Bei with a flying knife, and they wondered what he was thinking now.
