Guanzhong, Chang'an.

Compared with the prosperity of Luoyang in the past, although Chang'an was also the capital of the Han Dynasty, it was the capital of the former Han Dynasty after all, and it eventually declined.

But even in ruins, Chang'an is stronger than Luoyang now, and Luoyang has been reduced to ruins by the fire.

Due to disrepair for a long time, the palace in Chang'an has long been dilapidated, not to mention wind and rain, and weeds are overgrown.

Dong Zhuo sent someone to renovate the main hall used by the court, and he didn't want to waste manpower and material resources on the palace. Anyway, Dong Zhuo didn't live in the palace, so there was no need to make it resplendent.

In Mei County to the west of Chang'an, Dong Zhuo summoned a large number of peasants to build a huge dock.

Known as Long Live Wu, the world calls it Mei Wu.

All the treasures that Dong Zhuo looted from Luoyang were placed inside, and Meiwu even piled up enough grain and grass to last for thirty years.

"Li Runa, how is the progress of the Meiwu project?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"Back to Xiangguo, the city wall has been built, it is as high as Chang'an's city wall, and the interior of the living room has also taken shape." Li Ru replied truthfully.

Although Dong Zhuo has only come to Chang'an not long ago, Wu's progress is astonishing.

Those who forcibly migrated from Luoyang, all strong men, were all put into the construction of Meiwu.

And it was non-stop day and night, and no one knew how many people died of exhaustion, so the progress of the project was naturally astonishing.

"Hahaha, okay." Dong Zhuo nodded in satisfaction.

"If it works, it will dominate the world; even if it doesn't work, Meiwu will be enough for me to die in peace."

Li Ru couldn't help showing worry on his face when he heard Dong Zhuo's words.

When Dong Zhuo uttered these words and spent so much manpower, material and financial resources to build a shelter, it shows that Dong Zhuo no longer has the ambition to fight for world hegemony.

If Dong Zhuo still has his ambitions for the world, the money spent on Meiwu can be spent on the army by Dong Zhuo.

With so much money and food, Dong Zhuo can build a strong army, expand the number of troops, and then go out to Hangu Pass to compete in the Central Plains.

The appearance of Meiwu is actually the place where Dong Zhuo retires. As he grows older, Dong Zhuo no longer wants to continue to toss about.

Liquor is poison that pierces the intestines, and color is a steel knife that scrapes bones.

During the time in Luoyang, having fun in the palace every day drained all of Dong Zhuo's energy.

After Dong Zhuo came to Chang'an, he still wanted to continue that kind of happy life, and he didn't want to fight with the eighteen princes anymore.

He fought all his life when he was young, and now that he is older, Dong Zhuo intends to enjoy it.

"Xiangguo, General Niu Fu sent someone to send news from Hangu Pass. Li Ru changed the topic of Meiwu.

Regarding Dong Zhuo's change, although Li Ru saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, there was nothing he could do.

If a person becomes depraved, he will not listen to the dissuasion of others.

What's more, Li Ru is a subordinate and son-in-law, so it is even more difficult to dissuade Dong Zhuo, so he can only let him go.

"Oh? What is it?" Dong Zhuo asked casually.

"Lu Bu came out of Hulao Pass, but General Niu Fu blocked him outside Hangu Pass." Li Ru continued.

"What?!" Dong Zhuo was taken aback, "How dare this fellow make a presumptuous claim?"

"Xiangguo, General Niu's good opinion is not a bad thing." Li Ru reminded.

Now that Dong Zhuo is depressed, has no ambition to dominate the world, and just wants to enjoy life in Meiwu, then Lu Bu's effect on Dong Zhuo will plummet.

Dong Zhuo's struggle for hegemony naturally required a sharp knife, the sharper the better, and Lu Bu was this knife.

But now that Dong Zhuo doesn't want to fight for hegemony, there is no need for the knife to be too sharp, otherwise it will easily cut himself, and there is even no need for the knife to exist.

Niu Fu blocked Lu Bu from Hangu Pass, and Li Ru also agreed.

"What if Lu Bu turns his back on him?" Dong Zhuo asked hastily.

"Xiangguo doesn't need to worry, Lu Bu's wife and daughter are still in Chang'an." Li Ru reminded: "There is also the Bingzhou Army under Lu Bu's command, and their families have also migrated here together."

"Lu does not dare to rebel. Even if he dared to rebel, the Bingzhou Army would not rebel with him."

After listening to Li Ru's analysis, Dong Zhuo made up his mind.

"Niu Fu wants to keep Lu Bu out of the pass, let Lu Bu continue to consume with the eighteenth princes, and weaken the opponent's strength." Dong Zhuo also understood Niu Fu's intention.

"Xiangguo is wise."

"But there are still 5,000 Xiliang cavalry in Lu Bu's hands..." Dong Zhuo was a little confused again.

"Xiangguo, if Lu Bu can be weakened, then the five thousand Xiliang troops will be the price for weakening Lu Bu. Even if they all die, as long as they can weaken Lu Bu, they are worthy of death." open.

"Forget it, things have come to this point, so I can only think about it this way."

Even Niu Fu blocked Lu Bu outside, and he was powerless to change anything.

After finishing the conversation about Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo brought the topic back to Meiwu.

"Since Meiwu has begun to take shape, let's move to it." Dong Zhuo ordered.

"Here, I'll make arrangements for the humble job." Li Ru took the order and left.

After Li Ru left, Dong Zhuo closed his eyes and murmured: "Lu Bu, Lu Bu, as long as the Bingzhou army is dead, our family can enjoy peace of mind.

Dong Zhuo also knew that Lu Bu was not an unstable factor, especially since Lu Bu had a criminal record of killing his adoptive father, Dong Zhuo was not afraid that Lu Bu was a fake.

Now that Dong Zhuo moved west to Guanzhong, he has the strength of Wei Han, which is strong enough to resist the eighteen princes.

When Meiwu is completed, Dong Zhuo can hide in it until he dies of old age.

The only thing Dong Zhuo is worried about is Lu Bu and his Bingzhou Army.

Luoyang.

The eighteen princes and the army under their command have all rushed to Luoyang at this moment.

But there was no sound of people, only deathly silence.

Fifty thousand corpses were scattered on the ground like a Shura field. Anyone who saw this scene would probably be silent.

"Aon! Aon! Ah!!!"

Sun Ce hugged a headless corpse, knelt on the ground, and wailed loudly.

Sun Jian was not a small shrimp. After being killed, his head was naturally cut off, leaving only a headless corpse.

But even though the head was gone, Sun Ce recognized father and son at a glance.

Seeing Sun Jian's miserable state, the other princes also felt sorry for him.

Of course, this fellow Yuan Shu must be an exception. If the atmosphere wasn't right, Yuan Shu would probably have laughed out loud.

Sun Jian had Liang Zi with him, and he made Yuan Shu humiliated in public many times. Seeing Sun Jian's tragic death, Yuan Shu was not to mention how happy he was.

Yuan Shao felt a little sad, but Sun Jian's death was generally good for the Yuan family brothers.

The Eighteenth Route princes challenged Dong, and the ones who really won were Sun Jian and the Yuan brothers.

Sun Jian broke through the Sishui pass, and the Yuan brothers broke through the Hulao pass.

Although it is true that Sun Jian is capable and the Yuan brothers are trading with Lu Bu, the process is not important, as long as there is a result.

Now that Sun Jian is dead again, only the Yuan family brothers are left as the heroes to challenge Dong, and no one will steal the limelight from them.

When the discussion of Dong is over, the Yuan family brothers will surely become famous and famous in the world.

The two were originally from the Yuan family of the fourth generation and three princes. Not only did they participate in the 18th princes' begging for Dong Jinjin, they also made military exploits, which is absolutely rewarding.

"This Lu Bu thief is really hateful!" Liu Bei scolded, gnashing his teeth.

He was hunted down by Lu Bu last night, and after he escaped, Liu Bei rushed to the rear to rescue soldiers.

The princes of the Eighteenth Route were also very surprised when they learned that Lu did not go and returned. After some arguing, they finally decided to send troops to Luoyang to rescue Sun Jian.

After all, the soldiers under Sun Jian's command were all princes from all walks of life, and the eighteen princes could not just ignore death.

Unexpectedly, it was a step late in the end.

Not only Sun Jian was decapitated, but all 50,000 vanguard troops were also killed, and blood flowed into rivers in the imperial city.

All the soldiers under the command of the princes were beheaded, and everyone was in the same hatred, and they hated Lu Bu more and more in their hearts.

"Thief Lu Bu, the country must kill it and then hurry up!"

"Slaves of the three surnames will die a terrible death!"

The princes from all walks of life scolded fiercely, but when they thought of Lu Bu's vicious reputation, the princes were scared again, and no one really dared to seek Lu Bu's bad luck.

Sun Ce looked at the attitudes of the princes and understood that it was obviously impossible to expect these people to take the initiative to avenge Sun Jian.

But his father was killed and his bones were incomplete, and Sun Ce couldn't swallow the bad breath.

However, with no soldiers or generals in hand, Sun Jian's team was killed by Lu Bu long ago, and even the four generals died tragically under Fang Tian's drawing of the halberd. Sun Ce couldn't think of a way to revenge for ten minutes.

Go back to Jiangdong? Accumulate strength and then take revenge? This idea flashed in Sun Ce's mind.

This is indeed the only thing Sun Ce can do at the moment.

But leaving in such a desperate manner, Sun Ce was a little unwilling.

Once he returns to Jiangdong, he will work hard to build his own business, and he does not know when he will be able to seek revenge on Lu Bu.

"Uncles, my nephew has something to tell you," Sun Ce said suddenly.

"What's your nephew to say, but it's okay to say it." Yuan Shao took over the conversation.

"The Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom!" Sun Ce gritted his teeth and said, "The Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is in the hands of Lu Bu!"

When Sun Jian's body was found, Sun Ce had already inspected it, and the jade seal from Sun Jian's body was missing, so Lu Bu must have taken it.

It must be hopeless for the princes to avenge Sun Jian.

But if there are heavy treasures to lure, then everything is possible, especially for important ministers like Chuanguo Yuxi.

If it was a normal day, the Chuanguo Yuxi would be useless. Not only would it not be a treasure, but it would be a hot potato. There would be no other choice but to hand it over to the imperial court.

Because of the Taiping Festival, the country is stable, even if you get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, it is impossible to succeed in the rebellion.

But when the world was in chaos, the allure of a treasure with special significance like the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom was completely different.

The current Han Dynasty is precarious, and it is hard to say that the princes present have no dissent.

If it is said that the princes at this time are just harboring evil intentions and only have a little spark in their hearts, then the appearance of the Chuanguo Yuxi is tantamount to pouring a pot of hot oil on the spark.

"Nephew's words?! How do you know?" Yuan Shao hurriedly asked.

0...asking for flowers...

"Because my father got it first, and he fished it up from a well in the palace." Sun Ce didn't hide anything, "My father wanted to keep it for himself, but maybe he didn't have the good fortune to enjoy it. In the end, he killed him and passed on the jade seal of the country. take away."

Misfortune is diverted from the east.

Sun Ce informed the princes of the news by way of self-explosion, in order to lure the princes to fight with Lu Bu and snatch the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in Lu Bu's hand, so as to avenge Sun Jian.

When the princes heard Sun Ce's explanation, they didn't care that Sun Jian wanted to keep it for themselves.

Not to mention Sun Jian, if they got it, they would definitely have such an idea.

What's more, Sun Jian is dead now, is it possible to pursue a dead man?

The focus is no longer on Sun Jian, but on the Chuanguo Yuxi.

The Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom was released, and it is currently in Lu Bu's hands. When all the princes heard the news, they couldn't help breathing shortness of breath and seemed extremely excited.

Liu Bei on the side couldn't help but turn pale when he saw this scene.

As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, from Liu Bei's point of view, this imperial jade seal is naturally a family heirloom of their old Liu family.

However, many princes at present are blatantly thinking about the things of their old Liu family, so Liu Bei is naturally angry.

"Everyone, the jade seal passed down to the country is an important weapon of the country. We should be loyal to the imperial court and hand over this thing to the imperial court.

Take it back from Lu Bu and give it to the emperor. "Liu Bei couldn't help but said.

"Shout~" Yuan Shu couldn't hold back, and laughed outright.

Yuan Shao is going to be much better. Although he wants to keep the Chuan Guo Yuxi as his own, he will not lose the superficial skills that should be there.

"Xuande's words are justified. The Jade Seal of Chuan Guo must not be left in the hands of thieves."

"As a minister, we should do our best for the emperor and the court."

0

After finishing his high-sounding words, Yuan Shao looked at the crowd and asked, "Are you willing to serve the country?"

"I would like to do my best for the imperial court!" All the princes said in unison.

Now that Yuxi has not been obtained, it is natural to behave more righteously at this time.

It won't be too late to discuss the distribution of spoils when Yuxi is in hand and snatched back from Lu Bu.

When Sun Ce saw this, he knew that he had succeeded, and the purpose of using the Chuanguo Yuxi to pull these princes into the water was achieved.

At this time, Sun Ce doesn't care about Yuxi anymore. Sun Jian died because of Yuxi. At this moment, Sun Ce only wants to avenge Sun Jian, and does not have other delusions. Revenge is Sun Ce's only purpose

Seeing that the princes had made an agreement, Sun Ce immediately clasped his fists and said, "After my father tragically killed Lu thief, my nephew is willing to be a pioneer and avenge my father. I hope all my uncles will agree."

"It's easy to say." Yuan Shu said with a smile that was not a smile: "I will give you a thousand soldiers and horses, and go find out Lu Bu's whereabouts first.

Facing Yuan Shu who had a relationship with Sun Jian, if the situation was not forced, Sun Ce would not bow to Yuan Shu.

But the power is stronger than others, and if he wants to use the princes to avenge Sun Jian, Sun Ce must learn to swallow his anger.

"Thank you uncle!" Sun Ce bowed and said, "When my father was alive, there were many conflicts with my uncle, and my nephew made amends to my uncle on behalf of my late father.

"Hahaha!" Yuan Shu smiled and said with a villainous face: "Where is it? Brother Wentai and I are just talking about friction. In fact, both of us are dedicated to the public.

What contradiction. "

"What's more, Brother Wentai is dead now, all grievances and grievances will be written off." Yuan Shu pretended to be generous, after all, he couldn't afford to care about anything with a dead person.

"Uncle has a broad mind, thank you for your help." Sun Ce thanked again.

"Lead a thousand soldiers and horses, let's go." Shu Suiqian.

"No." Sun Ce took the order and left.

"Lu thief is tricky, I will go with my nephew." Liu Bei said immediately.

As a result, Sun Jian desperately dragged Lu Bu yesterday so that Liu Guanzhang could escape smoothly. Liu Bei felt that it was necessary to take care of Sun Ce.

Second, knowing that the jade seal is in the hands of Lu Bu, Liu Bei expresses his concern for Chuan Guo's jade seal, and also wants to check Lu Bu's whereabouts in person, so as to know well, so that the jade seal will not end up in exile.

the hands of others.

Sun Ce didn't refuse when he saw this, and Sun Ce really felt Lu Bu's terror after fighting Lu Bu last night.

Especially the Fang Tian painted halberd, which cut iron like mud, left a deep impression on Sun Ce.

If he really meets Lu Bu, he will definitely be killed by Lu Bu easily. With Liu Guanzhang walking with him, although he is still not Lu Bu's opponent, at least he can feel more secure.

Sun Ce led a thousand troops, along with Liu, Guan and Zhang, and went out of the city to search for Lu Bu.

When they set off, several people all agreed to bring several weapons in case of emergencies.

The other princes waited in place, stationed in Luoyang City, waiting for news from Sun Ce.

Without waiting too long, not even half an hour, Sun Ce and Liu Guanzhang left and returned.

"How's the situation?" Yuan Shao couldn't wait to ask when he saw a few people coming back.

"Reporting to the leader, from the footprints on the official road, it seems that Lu Bu did not go west to return to Hangu Pass, but went north." Sun Ce explained the investigation situation one by one.

After hearing this, all the princes were at a loss. They didn't understand why Lu Bu ran north. .
