Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 22: Hidden Yuxi, Sun Jian returns to Jiangdong

"The coalition of princes is ridiculous. If Yuan Shu had not cut off our army's food and grass, our army would have been defeated at Sishui Pass." This was a scar in Sun Jian's heart. "I have no grudge against Dong Zhuo. For the sake of the Han Dynasty, I died even though I was

I have no regrets, there are many scoundrels among the princes."

"Lord, be careful what you say." Cheng Pu advised.

"Hmph, the princes only know how to feast day and night. Why is it that no one is chasing the old thief Dong Zhuo? Only General Cao and General Lu Gaoyi are pursuing and killing Dong thief. Isn't it a shame?" Sun Jian became more and more excited as he spoke.

It was night, and Sun Jian couldn't sleep for a long time.

Suddenly, a sergeant came to report that a woman's body had been recovered from the well in the south of the palace. The body was not rotten. She was dressed in palace clothes and had a brocade bag under her neck.

Upon hearing this, Sun Jian hurried to the south of the palace, opened the brocade bag, and saw a small scarlet box inside, locked with a gold lock.

After opening it, I saw that it was a jade seal and I didn't take it seriously. However, after careful observation, I saw that the jade seal was four inches in diameter and had five dragons engraved on it. It had a corner missing and was inlaid with gold. There were eight characters in seal script on it: "Ordered by Heaven."

, both longevity and prosperity."

He asked: "Can Gong Fu recognize this seal?"

Cheng Pu looked at it for a long time and said in surprise: "This is the jade seal passed down to the country."

"This jade was created by Bian He when he was under Jingshan Mountain in the past. He saw a phoenix perched on a stone and carried it to King Wen of Chu. He solved it and found the jade. In the twenty-sixth year of the Qin Dynasty, he ordered Liang Gong to carve it into a jade seal. Qin Prime Minister Li Si

There are eight characters engraved on it, "I have been ordered by heaven, and I will live long and prosperous." Recently I heard that the Shichang servants made a rebellion and robbed the young emperor when he left Beimang. He returned to the palace and lost his secondary treasure. Today's conferment of the title of lord is my luck in Jiangdong. The lord will come back as soon as possible.

Jiangdong.”

Sun Jian hurriedly put away the jade seal, "Just like this, the hearts of the princes are not in harmony, and it is difficult to do anything great. It is better to return to Jiangdong."

Then the sergeants present were strictly ordered not to leak the information.

One of the soldiers, a native of Yuan Shao's hometown, secretly left the camp in the middle of the night and rushed to Yuan Shao's camp.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao showed greed in his eyes. It was said that the jade seal of the country was a treasure. It was said that if you get the jade seal, you will have great luck. He ordered people to reward the soldiers and place them in the army.

The next day, Sun Jian asked Yuan Shao to resign on the grounds that he was busy with affairs in Jiangdong and felt unwell after days of fighting.

Yuan Shao sneered and said, "I know why Wentai is unwell."

"Why?" Sun Jian asked.

Other princes in the tent also cast curious glances. When did Yuan Shao learn to treat people?

"It's because of the imperial seal." Yuan Shao snorted coldly.

Sun Jian was shocked, his face changed slightly, and he said calmly: "Why did the leader say this?"

Yuan Shao said seriously: "Now we are raising troops to fight against thieves and eliminate harm for the country. It is said that the jade seal of the country is a treasure of the imperial court. Since General Sun has obtained it, he should keep it with the leader of the alliance in public until he kills the old thief Dong Zhuo and returns to the imperial court. General Sun hides the jade seal

, what do you want?"

"How come the jade seal is here with me, general? The leader of the alliance should not listen to the instigation of villains." Sun Jian refused to admit it.

Yuan Shao ordered the soldiers who were on the side that night to come out and identify him, but Sun Jian refused to admit it. The two sides were at war with each other, and the princes hurriedly persuaded them to stop.

After leaving the Chinese army's tent, Sun Jian ordered his troops and horses to leave Luoyang.

Yuan Shao was furious and wrote a letter and sent his confidants to Jingzhou overnight to deliver it to Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou.

The situation of the alliance leader was getting worse day by day. Seeing this, Yuan Shao knew that the coalition army was at its end, so he led his troops to withdraw from the stronghold and return to their base.

Let us also say that after Lu Bu gathered his troops and horses, he led the cavalry to continue to pursue Dong Zhuo. Along the way, corpses of civilians could be seen everywhere, which was shocking. Dong Zhuo moved hundreds of thousands of young people from Luoyang on this trip. How many will be left after he returns to Chang'an?

The people are innocent, and they should not pay for the war. Lu Bu suddenly had the idea of ​​​​rescuing the people escorted by Dong Zhuo. Bingzhou has a large area and a sparse population, so it is not a problem to resettle some people.

Xu Rong fled all the way back to the army, looking panicked. He was frightened by the power of the Bingzhou cavalry. He thought that the Liangzhou cavalry was the most elite cavalry in the world, but he didn't expect to encounter a more powerful one.

"Master Xu, who are you?" Li Su heard the soldier's report and hurriedly came over to greet him. What he didn't expect to see was a group of defeated soldiers.

"Master Li, quickly ask the Prime Minister for help. The Bingzhou army is coming to kill them, cavalry, a lot of cavalry." Xu Rong said incoherently.

Li Su smiled secretly in his heart and said: "Master Xu, the Prime Minister's country is far away from here, and there are people blocking the way. Rescue cannot be reached in a short time."

"Then what should we do?" Xu Rong didn't hear anything wrong in Li Su's tone. Normally, he wouldn't even look at a person like Li Su. The Bingzhou Army would come over at any time. He didn't think that Li Su's men would kill him.

The two thousand men and horses can withstand it.

"If we don't surrender, the old thief Dong Zhuo will go against the will of heaven and he will already be angry with the people. If you follow him, you will definitely not end up well." Li Su said slowly, staring at Xu Rong.

"You... you are a traitor." Xu Rong gritted his teeth angrily, drew his sword and said: "Get Li Su."

Li Su snorted coldly: "Master Xu, do you think my sergeants will listen to you? They have already followed a certain person to abandon the dark side and join the bright side."

"You, you guys." Xu Rong never imagined that Li Su, who usually smiled at everyone he saw, would have such a method to persuade the Liangzhou sergeant to surrender to Lu Bu.

"Tie them up." Li Su ordered, and the sergeant behind him took off Xu Rong and others' weapons like wolves and tigers, and tied them tightly.

"My lord's troops will arrive shortly. General Zhang led his troops to surrender, which is a great achievement." Li Su said.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your kind words in front of General Lu." Zhang Yi said with clasped fists. He was the general of Liangzhou Army and one of the earliest followers of Dong Zhuo. However, he was never reused in Dong Zhuo's army. At the same time, Hua Xiong had already

Although he holds a high position, he is still a marching commander leading a thousand troops.

Because they had the same experience, the two chatted happily and confided their unhappiness to each other. After Lu Bu planned with him in Luoyang City that day, he found Zhang Yi privately. After the two of them talked about it, they decided to surrender to Lu Bu.

, broke away from the Liangzhou Army.

Hua Xiong and others met Dong Zhuo and described the battle last night in detail. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and said: "Wen You has no plans left, what kind of coalition of princes is just a country chicken and a dog."

"Thank you for the compliment from the Prime Minister." Li Ru showed a smile on his face.

"Command the army to speed up and rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible." Dong Zhuo ordered.

With the cooperation of Li Su, Lu Bu and his troops quickly approached the team where Dong Zhuo was escorting the baggage.

"Stop!" Seeing Li Su leading the team from afar, a chief responsible for escorting the baggage said warily.

"This is Li Su. I have important matters to see the Prime Minister." Li Su said.

"Who is behind you?" More than two thousand soldiers and horses are not a small number, and the commander dare not make the decision.

"Oh, these are Lord Xu Rong's soldiers and horses. They defeated the pursuers of the princes last night and returned with a great victory." Li Su explained.

"Wait a moment, wait for the villain to report to the general." The soldier thought it would be better to inform Niu Fu.
