The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Xun Zhen and Sun Jian defeated Dong Zhuo and got Luoyang. It took only three days. Yuan Shao of Hanoi and Zhou Ang became the prefect of Yingchuan, and Chunyu Qiong was the prefect of Guangling. Soon after, Yuan Shu of Luyang also joined the two. He was the prefect of Yingchuan and Guangling.

When the news reached Luoyang, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian were furious.

Sun Jian said angrily to Xun Zhen: "The Yuan family in Runan has been favored by the country, the fourth generation and the third prince, and they are the most important things in the world. I always thought that his family was the rock of the country. Where more than a dozen people were killed by Dong Zhuo, the brothers Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gonggong did not want to repay the kindness of the country, nor did they want to avenge their family. After all, you and our party broke Dong Thief, and were about to enter Chang’an again to welcome the Holy Cha, but the two of them actually put knives behind you and me! It’s unbearable!”

Xun Zhen asked Sun Jian, "Er Yuan has already acted like this, Wentai, what do you think you and I should do?"

Sun Jian scolded: "Shuzi is insufficiency and conspiracy!" After scolding, he sighed helplessly and said, "What else can I do? Are you and I really going to be this Jinwu and Sili school captain? You can't sit back and watch Yingchuan and Guangling be taken over."

"Wentai means: should you and I withdraw troops and return to the county?"

"It can only be the!"

Xun Zhen and Sun Jian spent the night outside Luoyang City.

The next morning, the army reported that Zhou Ang had left Hanoi with 5,000 troops and was heading for Yingchuan.

This Zhou Ang is the co-brother of Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang.

There are three brothers in the Zhou family. Apart from Zhou Xin and Zhou Ang, there is also a younger brother named Zhou Zhe. His three brothers live in Kuaiji. The family has been well connected from generation to generation, so the brothers Zhou Xin, Zhou Ang, and Zhou Zhe are friends with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Now, except that Zhou Xin was not in Hanoi because he was the prefect of Danyang, Zhou Ang and Zhou Zhe all served under Yuan Shao's tent.

When Sun Jian heard the news, he was furious again, and said to Xun Zhen, "Why is Yuan Benchu ​​pressing each other!"

Shortly after the capture of Luoyang, seeing that the general situation was over, many Dong soldiers in the east and south of Luoyang abandoned the pass and left. Therefore, there is no Dong soldiers guarding the Luyuan Pass at the junction of Yingchuan and Sili. When Dong soldiers retreated, they were captured. Xun Zhen and Sun Jian's troops in Yingchuan took over this pass, so now they can cross Luoyang and go straight to Yingchuan. In comparison, this distance is much closer than from Hanoi to Yingchuan.

For this reason, although Sun Jian was angry, he did not rush back to Yingchuan.

Xun Zhen said to Sun Jian, "You Qing and I are here with more than 50,000 soldiers. How could Zhou Ang dare to enter Yingchuan with only 5,000 people? For me to save him, he should just be acting like a man. Wentai, Some of the tombs destroyed by Dong Zhuo have not yet been filled. You and I don't have to worry, and wait for two more days. When the tombs are filled and the Luoyang Palace is cleaned up, you and I will bring troops back to the county. Late."

Sun Jian replied, "Your words are very true."

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "I remember that Wentai found the Chuan Guoxi seal in the palace during this meeting with Dong, but I don't know if this is true or not? If it is true, why do I still have it to this day? Didn't get the reward from the ministries?"

Under the banner of tidying up the Luoyang palace, Xun Zhen mobilized thousands of soldiers, and Zhao Yun led them to search the palace carefully. Of course, Xun Zhen didn't tell them what they were searching for, but ordered them to inspect the palace carefully. In the remains, all the utensils and documents related to the emperor, the royal family, and the country must first be reported to Xun Zhen, and then sealed up for possible future needs. However, Zhao Yun and his people have already searched the palace. It has been more than two days, but I have found some utensils, genealogy, and classics related to the emperor, the royal family, the country, and the ministers, but what about the imperial seal? But there is no news at all.

At the same time, Sun Jian's works were also searched in the palace. Xun Zhen was puzzled and thought, "Could it be that Chuan Guoxi has already been acquired by Wentai?"

Xun Zhen and Sun Jian both lived outside the city, but they each had their own parts, so they were not in the same camp. After saying goodbye to Xun Zhen, Sun Jian angrily returned to his camp. Entering the camp and entering the tent, Sun Jian stepped back and opened an iron box in the corner of the tent. He carefully took out an object from the box. He saw that the object was carved out of jade, with a radius of four inches. The dragon, fish and phoenix button, with eight characters on the front, is a large seal, the characters say: "Ordered by the sky, longevity and prosperous", - but it is the jade seal that Xunzhen can't think of!

Xun Zhen guessed right, this royal seal was discovered in the palace by Sun Jian's part.

It was a soldier who discovered this thing. The soldier didn't know what it was, but thought it should be a treasure, so he hid it privately, but Cheng Pu, who was inspected that night, found it. In order to keep it secret, he first found an excuse to kill the soldier, and then quietly dedicated this thing to Sun Jian.

Not to mention that Xun Zhen didn't know that Sun Jian had obtained the Imperial Seal, but he was the generals in Sun Jian's camp. So far, only a few people, such as Cheng Pu, Wu Jing, and Sun Ben, knew that the Imperial Seal was in Sun Jian's hands.

Sun Jian was alone in the tent, gently stroking the seal, which is said to have been handed down from the First Emperor of Qin, representing the "mandate of heaven", and looked at the seal with complex rays of light in his eyes. He murmured the eight characters engraved on the seal: "Ordered by the sky, longevity and prosperous", he paused, and then recited the first four characters: "Ordered by the sky", read it again, and again Read it once, read it over and over again.

Sun Jian thought to himself: "'Ordered by Heaven'. Unexpectedly, I got this seal in Luoyang today! ... What does this mean?"

Sun Jian came from a humble background, and his family was not a Confucian family. Because he believed in witchcraft, gods and ghosts, and because of his humble background, he tried his best to protect the big man, and wanted to make his own family. Through his own efforts and achievements, he could become a famous family such as the Yuan family in Runan and the Yang family in Hongnong. Dao's gods and ghosts said, he was confused without realizing it, and thought in his heart: "This seal fell into my hands, is it because God wants me to take credit for retrieving the national seal for the Han family? Or? Are you implying that the Han family's luck is exhausted?"

He thought again: "I sent troops and horses to the palace with Zhenzhi, but this seal was not obtained by Zhenzhi, but for me..."Ordered by heaven", "Ordered by heaven", this is Is it 'Destiny'?"

In connection with the current situation, he thought again: "Er Yuan each has selfish interests and does not want to serve the country. Now, when Zhenzhi and I are going to continue to pursue Dong Zhuo, the two of them represent their own people and come to seize our Yingchuan, but they are not. It forced me to give up halfway, and had to withdraw my troops and return to the county....If they didn't make this move, it might not be long before Zhenzhi and I would be able to welcome back the emperor, but they came at this time. With this hand, Zhenzhi and I are returning to the county, and I am afraid that it will be a long time to welcome the emperor... And at this very moment, I got the seal of the country.... All kinds of coincidences, "ordered by heaven", "ordered by Heaven", could this really be the 'Mandate of Heaven'? "

If Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu hadn't made this move, Sun Jian and Xun Zhen would definitely continue to advance, and if they continued to advance, they would have the possibility of completely defeating Dong Zhuo. As soon as the emperor returned to Luoyang, Sun Jian could not keep the seal of the kingdom, so he had to give it back to the emperor; but now, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu made this move at this juncture, forcing Sun Jian not to continue to advance in the army, no longer If he continued to advance into the army, then he would not be able to return the imperial seal to the Son of Heaven. Sun Jian could only keep it in his own hands. Due to all kinds of coincidences, it was no wonder that Sun Jian would make wild guesses and test "God's will". ".

...

Xu Rong and others went all the way west, but failed to find Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo successfully escaped into Mianchi.

Hearing that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were the prefects of Yingchuan and Guangling, Dong Zhuo laughed out loud~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and said to the dejected defeated generals who followed him all the way to Mianchi: "I take two Yuan is the enemy, but I didn't expect the two of them to help me at this time!"

When the defeated generals heard Dong Zhuo's words, their morale lifted a little, and they all said, "How can the two Yuan rat generation be compared with the state of the prime minister?

"Luoyang has been abolished, and it doesn't matter if it is for Xun and Sun."

Jia Xu said: "What Xiangguo said is very true. As long as Guanzhong does not lose, and if he takes a little recuperation, Xiangguo can follow the example of the former Qin Dynasty, send troops out of the customs, and wipe out Shandong."

Dong Zhuo said, "What Wen He said is exactly what I agree with! There is nothing left for this clerk to stay. I will wait for two days. Once the troops are gathered, I will wait for you to enter the customs."

After staying in Mianchi for a few days, when the remnants were gathered, and when the soldiers and horses from the various passes in Luyuan came, Dong Zhuo left Dong Zhonglang's general Dong Yue to guard Mianchi, and Zhonglang's general Duan Xun was stationed to guard Huayin, and he used his own His son-in-law, Zhonglang, stationed Niu Fu to guard Anyi, and then used Henan Yin Zhujun to stay in the area of ​​Sili, and then he took the main force of Ma Xi to pass through Tong Pass and headed for Chang'an.

Before leaving, Dong Zhuo explained to Dong Yue and other generals: "The Guandong generals have been defeated, and there is nothing they can do. Only Xun and Sun Xiaoxu, all generals should be careful."
