Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Dong Zhuo was previously attacked by the armies of Sun Jian, Bao Xin and Cao Ang in Mang Mountain, and fled back to Luoyang in embarrassment.  Before he could catch his breath, Sun Jian led his troops towards Luoyang.  Dong Zhuo wanted to take advantage of the geographical advantage to hold on this time, but his soldiers had been disrupted and discouraged in Mang Mountain before, so they were unable to hold on.  After just one confrontation, Sun Jian's troops were beaten to the point of running away.

    Before leaving Luoyang, Dong Zhuo ordered the whole city to be set on fire. However, he had limited soldiers at the time and could only light fires nearby.  But it had just rained yesterday, and all the piled firewood was soaked. With the approaching soldiers, the expected continuous fire could not be lit at all.  In desperation, Dong Zhuo could only leave behind the forcibly relocated people and lead his soldiers to evacuate in confusion.

    In Dong Zhuo's view, although he was forced to give up more than 200,000 people, he did not suffer too much.  You know, all the people who have some wealth have long been robbed by the Xiliang army. The more than 200,000 people who stayed here can be said to have no money and no food at home. Those who stayed in Luoyang were actually 200,000 people.  Thousands of hungry wolves howling!  If Sun Jian can't feed them enough, they may turn against Sun Jian!  When a person is extremely hungry, he can do anything!

    Sun Jian happily accepted these people, but after one meal, they suddenly started complaining again and again.  While he asked Bao Xin and Yuan Shu urgently for help, he also ordered people to organize people to go out to dig wild vegetables.

    When he was worried, Sun Jian suddenly received news, and Lu Bu led his army to the outside of Luoyang City.  Sun Jian was immediately shocked. He couldn't help but secretly blame Cao Ang. He was really talking nonsense and not doing things well. Didn't he try to delay his trip? Why did Lu Bu come so quickly?  It's good now. Most of the soldiers are organizing the people to dig wild vegetables. How should I face Lu Bu's army?

    When Sun Jian was worried, Cheng Pu cheerfully came to report: "General Qi, Lu Bu seems to have suffered a defeat. The flags of his troops are quite missing, and the soldiers are all dejected. Seeing our officers and soldiers, they are obviously  I was shocked, and then I circled the city towards Chang'an."

    Hearing this, Sun Jian was overjoyed and said in a trembling voice: "De Mou, please don't lie to me. Lu Bu is famous for his bravery. Who can defeat him?"

    Cheng Pu smiled and said: "My lord, the last general has captured two stragglers. According to their confessions, Lu Bu stormed Cao Ang's camp last night. Unexpectedly, the baggage troops behind him were raided. Coupled with the unfavorable attack, the troops exploded.  Camp! Lu Bu had no time to gather his troops at that time, so he could only flee in confusion. After he finally gathered his troops, the morale of the soldiers was low, their armor was missing, their food and grass were cut off, and they were unable to fight anymore, so they could only flee in confusion!"

    Sun Jian laughed: "I didn't expect Zixiu to have such luck and ability. It's really enviable!"

    Cheng Pu looked around and saw no one around. He moved forward mysteriously and whispered: "My lord, Cao Zixiu just has a little luck, but my lord is very lucky!"

    Sun Jian was very surprised, "How do you say that?"

    Cheng Pu looked around again and then whispered: "Lord, come with me!"

    Cheng Pu successfully aroused Sun Jian's curiosity, so the two sneaked to a side hall of the palace, and saw that the place was tightly surrounded by soldiers and was extremely guarded!

    Seeing Sun Jian's confusion, Cheng Pu quickly explained in a low voice: "At that time, the general sent people to search the palace to hunt down Dong's thieves. The soldiers accidentally found the body of a palace maid here, and found a golden lock from her body.  The little scarlet box!"

    "Is it some kind of property?" Sun Jian asked with a smile: "De Mou, why are you so mysterious?"

    Cheng Pu smiled and did not answer, but just led Sun Jian inside. He saw eight armored guards in the hall, each holding a saber, standing on guard in all directions. In the center was the small vermilion box that Cheng Pu had described!

    Sun Jian stepped forward curiously, opened it, and took two steps back in disbelief.  He calmed down a little, looked around, and then stepped forward tremblingly.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There is a jade seal in the small box with a radius of four inches.  If you look closely, you will see eight characters written in seal script: "If you receive orders from heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life."

    Sun Jian asked tremblingly: "Is this the imperial seal?!"

    Cheng Pu nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Exactly this thing! When Bian He walked to Jingshan Mountain, he found a phoenix perched on a big rock. He regarded it as a treasure, so he dug it out and paid tribute to King Wen of Chu. After several years  , and a piece of jade was extracted from it. Later, in the 26th year of the reign of King Qin, it was carved into a jade seal by a famous craftsman. Li Si personally wrote eight seal characters on it, which means that he is ordered by heaven, and he will live forever!

    Later, Emperor Qin died of illness, and the jade seal fell into the hands of Ziying, and finally fell into the control of our great ancestor.  Until Wang Mang usurped the throne, the Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan used this jade seal to beat the traitor, broke one corner of it, and set it in gold.  Emperor Guangwu obtained this treasure in Yiyang and has passed down the throne to this day.

      I heard that when Shi Changshi was in trouble, the young emperor and others were kidnapped to Mang Mountain. After returning to the palace, the jade seal was never found again.  Dong Zhuo occupied the palace for many days, but the jade seal never showed up.  Until today, this time we accidentally discovered that this is really God's will, which shows that the Lord is ninety-five!  The general feels that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We should rush back to Jiangdong and use the foundation there to plan for great things!  "

    Cheng Pu became more and more excited as he spoke, but Sun Jian was still a little hesitant. He frowned and whispered, "With just this piece of jade seal, can I achieve great things? This is a bit of a joke!"

    Cheng Pu shook his head repeatedly, lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "My lord, please don't say that, you must take it if you are given by heaven! If God did not intend to pass this jade seal to my lord, then the young emperor should find it when he returns to the palace."  This jade seal, Dong Zhuo should have found this jade seal when he occupied the palace! But neither of them had it, which shows that he did not have this blessing! Moreover, our three armies fought against Dong Zhuo in Mang Mountain and won a great victory. Bao Xin volunteered to stay behind, and Cao Ang  Taking the initiative to ask for help to stop Lu Bu, only the lord can have the opportunity to drive directly to Luoyang! What does this mean? This is your blessing, lord!"

    When Cheng Pu said this, Sun Jian was also a little moved. He pointed at several guards around him. Cheng Pu quickly ordered them out of the palace and explained in a low voice: "My lord, these eight guards have been following me for many years. Some of them have been with me for many years."  They supervise each other, and only then will the general dare to look for the lord. Lord, what do you mean? If you want to achieve great things, just give me a word; if you just want to be a minister, then hand over the jade seal.  Yuan Shao can do it, Yuan Shu can do it too!"

    "No, absolutely impossible!" Sun Jian said quickly: "What you just said is exactly what I want. Let's do this. When Yuan Shao and the others arrive in Luoyang, I will leave here due to illness and return to Jiangdong. If I can really build a great cause, you will be mine.  The most important minister under my command!"

    Hearing that Sun Jian had revealed his ambition for the first time, Cheng Pu was overjoyed and quickly fell to the ground: "I have seen your majesty, long live long live long live!"

    Sun Jian laughed loudly, staring at the jade seal with blurred eyes, and gently caressed the national jade seal with his hands as if caressing his most beloved woman!

    One day later, Yuan Shao led his army to Luoyang and met with Sun Jian.

    Sun Jian presented various captured trophies, and Yuan Shao couldn't help but laugh and praised him repeatedly.

    ??Everyone found an empty place, set up camp, gathered in the Ancestral Temple, and used Tailao to pay tribute.  After the ceremony was completed, all the princes gathered together and started eating and drinking.

    After all, Cao Ang was young and couldn't get used to the smell of alcohol, so he quickly left the palace.  He suddenly remembered the record in the book about the imperial seal, so he took a few personal guards and headed towards the Jianzhang Hall.

    When everyone arrived in front of Jianzhang Hall, they found that although it had been abandoned for a long time, it was full of footprints, and it was clear that many people had been here.

    Cao Ang thought for a moment. Could it be that Sun Jian had already taken out the jade seal? He quickly led people into the palace, but was stopped at the entrance of the palace.

    Seeing that the palace guards were looking at him very alertly, Cao Ang said with a smile: "I don't even have a place to drink quietly, so let's go!"

    Seeing Cao Ang leave, the guards guarding the palace breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sent someone to report to Sun Jian.

    However, Sun Jian was drinking with Yuan Shao and others in the palace at this time, and the pawn who reported the news could not enter, so he could only report the matter to Cheng Pu who was standing aside.

    Cheng Pu was shocked when he heard this. Could it be that Cao Ang heard the news?  Otherwise, why would he go to Jianzhang Hall to "drink" if there were so many remote palaces in the palace?

    Thinking of this, Cheng Pu was very frightened. He quickly summoned the eight guards and scolded them sternly, telling them to strictly keep the secret and not to reveal a word!  If he gets wind of anything, Cheng Pu will chop off their heads!

    Cheng Pu would not have thought that his words and lectures would have the opposite effect and make one of the soldiers realize the importance of this jade seal!  This man was a fellow villager of Yuan Shao, and he wanted to use this as a way to get promoted, so he found an excuse to sneak out of the camp in the evening and secretly reported to Yuan Shao!

    When Yuan Shao heard the news, he was so drunk that he broke into a cold sweat. This was a national jade seal. He didn¡¯t expect that Sun Jian would dare to take it privately!  The world is so big that the jade seal should fall into the hands of virtuous people, and among the heroes in the world, who can be better than me, Yuan Benchu, who is the fourth generation and the third prince, and who has overall overall control!

    At that time, Yuan Shao rewarded the man heavily, mobilized his trusted troops, and quietly surrounded Sun Jian's troops.

    The next day, Sun Jian apologized and said goodbye to Yuan Shao: "Alliance leader, although I want to follow you to continue the crusade against Dong Zhuo and help the Han Dynasty, my old injury has relapsed and I cannot continue to charge into the battle. I can only say goodbye to you, alliance leader! Alas!  !¡±

    Yuan Shao laughed: "Really? How did I hear that you got the disease because of passing on the imperial seal?!"

    Sun Jian was shocked, Yuan ShaoHe said loudly: "We raise troops to fight against thieves to eliminate harm for the country! The jade seal is a valuable treasure of the imperial court. Since you have obtained it, you should hand it over in public and temporarily deposit it with me, the leader of the alliance. Wait until Dong Zhuo is killed, and then exchange it  Imperial Court! Now that you have hidden the jade seal, what do you want to do?!"

    Sun Jian was speechless
