C66 The Battle of the Imperial Jade Seal

Yuan Shao frowned: "Sun Jian, if you take out the Inheritance Jade Seal, hand it over so that you can return it to his Majesty in the future. As long as you hand over the successor's Imperial Jade Seal, this matter will be resolved. "

Sun Jian shouted, "If there is nothing, there is nothing! How could Chief listen to such ridiculous rumors! It truly made one's teeth go cold! Could it be that Alliance Master was jealous of my achievements, and joined up with Yuan Shu to slander me? " Yuan Shao raged and shouted, "Sun Jian, don't be so stubborn!" Seeing that, everyone became suspicious, but they could not tell whether Sun Jian was really hiding the Inherited Royal Jade Seal, or the Yuan brothers were using this as an excuse to get rid of Sun Jian, the person who contributed the most to breaking through to Tiger's Cage.

Sun Jian laughed coldly, and said: "Since this place does not allow me, then I will return to Jiangdong! "Farewell!" He cupped his hands at Yuan Shao and was about to leave.

Yuan Shu shouted sternly, "Don't even think about going anywhere if you don't hand over the Imperial Jade Seal!"

Sun Jian became furious and shouted: "Yuan Shu, others are afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you! If you have the guts, then fight with me for a hundred rounds. The two were at loggerheads and the atmosphere was extremely tense. All the dukes rose one after another to persuade his. Yuan Shu wanted to settle this matter with Sun Jian, so he glanced at Yuan Shao frequently, but Sun Jian did not admit it, only relying on a deserter, he was unable to prove Sun Jian's guilt, if he truly took action against Sun Jian, and caused an internal conflict in the allied army, not only would Dong Zhuo laugh, it would be hard to accept, so he did not pay attention to Yuan Shu's eyes.

Sun Jian snorted, and led Huang Gai and the rest out of the tent.

Yuan Shu asked Yuan Shao anxiously, "Why did you let him go just like that?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but say: "The most pressing matter for us is not to save His Majesty, but to save His Majesty! How can you all become enemies just for a stone! " Then he said to Yuan Shao: "Genji, Dong Zhuo has escaped from Luoyang in a hurry, his morale is in chaos, this is the perfect opportunity to defeat Dong Zhuo and save His Majesty! He must not let this matter slip by just because of him! I request the Genji to immediately send out an order to temporarily lock down the enemy forces of the Luoyang, and chase them down at the same time.

Yuan Shao was hesitant. However, Yuan Shu said: "The three armies are already exhausted, how can we chase in such a hurry?"

Cao Cao Cao looked at the other dukes, seeing that everyone had a cold and indifferent attitude, he couldn't help but erupt in anger. He pointed at everyone and scolded, "This brat is not worthy of scheming!" With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Yuan Shao's face revealed displeasure.

Just then, an officer ran in and reported, "Reporting to the Lord, Sun Jian has left with the troops and horses!" Everyone was greatly surprised, and Yuan Shu immediately said: "Sun Jian is guilty of being a thief, the Inherited Nation's Imperial Jade Seal is definitely in his hands!" Everyone had the same feeling and could not help but feel jealous.

Cao Cao returned to his own military camp and immediately ordered his troops to chase after Dong Zhuo. Cao Ren was shocked, and anxiously said: "Master, we are the only ones chasing after Dong Zhuo, I am afraid, I am afraid …" Cao Cao sternly said, "No matter what the result is, this matter must be done! "Hurry up and send out the order!" Brother Meng De is so generous! " A man's voice sounded.

Cao Cao looked towards the direction of the voice, only to see Liu Bei and Zhang Fei approaching. He turned his head and said to Cao Ren: "Immediately send the order." Cao Ren cupped his fists and rushed down. Cao Cao Cao smiled as he welcomed Liu Bei, then cupped his fists and said: "Brother Profound De, Brother pterygium, why have you come to my place?"

Zhang Fei shouted angrily: "Staying together with those villains, I almost suffocated to death! That's why Big Brother and I came here! "

Cao Cao Cao laughed and praised: "pterygium brother is too straightforward!"

Cao Cao said, "I won't hide it from Brother Xuande. Although the other dukes are unwilling to save His Majesty, this one cannot sit idly by. I plan to go alone to chase after Dong Zhuo to save His Majesty! " Zhang Fei gave a big thumbs up and praised, "So generous! "With so many dukes here, only you, Cao Cao, can still be considered a figure!" Cao Cao laughed, "pterygium, you are too kind!"

Liu Bei cupped his fists and said: "If Brother Meng De is not displeased, then we two brothers would be walking together with Brother Meng De!" Cao Cao was overjoyed, "That's great! The two of you will go together, and those who saved His Majesty will make me bigger! " And then, he arranged for the two to stand by his side. Not long after, the whole army of Cao Cao's unit set off for the west.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were discussing in the tent when they suddenly received a report that Cao Cao had led his troops to chase after Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shu laughed coldly, "Cao Cao is such a fool!" Then, he urged Yuan Shao: "Brother, we cannot let Sun Jian return to Jiangdong, if not, I am afraid it will be another Dong Zhuo, with endless future troubles! Who does Sun Jian think he is, to dare to hide the hereditary Imperial Jade Seal! Only brother has the right to own the Empire's Imperial Jade Seal! "

Yuan Shao's face revealed hesitation, and said: "To openly chase and kill Sun Jian, this matter is a little inappropriate! Why not write a secret letter to Liu Biao, telling him to kill Sun Jian? " Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, and praised: "What a brilliant plan! That Liu Biao is a relative of the Imperial Family, no matter what, they would definitely not allow him to bring the Inherited Imperial Jade Seal back to the Jiangdong! "

Yuan Shao immediately wrote a secret letter, ordering the people under the tent to immediately bring the secret letter to Jingzhou.

After Yuan Shao was done, he said to Yuan Shu: "Right now, we have to think of a course of action. Do you want to continue attacking Luoyang or do you want to just stop here? "

Yuan Shu said: "I think the most urgent matter at hand right now is Sun Jian's Inheritance Jade Seal. The Luoyang had Chen Lang as a guard, it was unknown how many soldiers and horses they had to spend to defeat the Luoyang, it was most likely their losses in the end! Besides, I can see that all the dukes are already dispirited, if I were to urge them to attack Luoyang, I'm afraid not many would be willing! "

Yuan Shao frowned: "Then you mean that we should stop here?" Yuan Shu nodded his head, and laughed: "Now, everyone knows that brother has fled in panic to save His Majesty and the eighteen dukes led by the imperial government to attack Tiger's Cage. With this reputation, it is enough, there is no need to waste anymore time! "If we continue to drag this on, it will only bring us harm, but not benefits!"

Yuan Shao nodded his head, then said: "Although what you said makes sense, I still want to wait and see, I want to see whether or not Cao Mengde can reap any benefits from this attack. If he can save His Holiness, I will attack the Luoyang under the Son of Heaven, and then the whole world will be in my hands. Otherwise, let's drop this matter. "

A few days later, an urgent report came from the west. During the chase, the soldiers and horses of Cao Cao Cao met with the heavy losses caused by General Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong. Yuan Shao could not help but exclaim: "Luckily I was cautious, otherwise my soldiers and horses would have suffered heavy losses!"

Not long after, Cao Cao came back with a defeated soldier. Yuan Shao arranged a feast to pacify Cao Cao. But at this moment, an officer suddenly tumbled and crawled into the tent, crying out anxiously, "Not good, not good! …" He fell to his knees with a thump. Yuan Shao said snappily: "What are you so flustered for?"

The officer swallowed his saliva and anxiously said: "Guan Yu on the water seal suddenly led her troops to attack and took over Dazhai!"

When everyone heard this, they turned pale with fright. Yuan Shao suddenly stood up, and shouted: "How is that possible! I left sixty thousand troops in Dazhai and the enemy troops in water seal are only twenty thousand, how can we attack and take over Dazhai? "

The officer said, "General Du Tong thought that the enemy would not arrive and was caught off guard. In the end, he was led by Guan Yu into the camp during the night and in one fell swoop, he destroyed the army and burned all the food!"

Yuan Shao bellowed and asked, "Where's Du Tong? I will kill him! "

The officer said, "General Du Tong has already been killed by the Guan Yu Formation in the midst of the chaos!" The crowd panicked, not knowing what to do.

Cao Cao suddenly laughed out loud. Everyone looked at Cao Cao in confusion.

Cao Cao Cao laughed: "All the heroes in the world, worthy of my admiration, are only brother Chen Lang! Good! This move was indeed powerful! To think that you would be able to perform such a counterattack under such circumstances, like a heavenly horse falling from the sky, it is truly amazing! " When everyone heard this, they were extremely depressed. However, they couldn't help but agree with Cao Cao's words.

Cao Cao glanced at the crowd and said with a smile, "Since things have come to this, there is no point for us to stay here any longer. We might as well leave." With that, he stood up and left. Everyone looked at each other and had thoughts of retreating. The various dukes all stood up to bid their farewells to Yuan Shao before leaving. The various dukes returned to their respective armies, and impatiently left with their respective armies. The grain had already been burnt, and if they did not retreat quickly, the consequences would be dire. Not long after, Yuan Shao brought his troops to retreat. Not long after, Cao Cao's group of soldiers were the only ones left outside the Luoyang City.

Cao Ren was extremely worried: "Master, everyone has left, why aren't we leaving? If the Chen Lang Commander-in-Chief attacks, we will … "

Cao Cao laughed, patted Cao Ren's shoulders and laughed: "Don't worry. I understand Chen Lang, he would never bring troops to attack me at this time of day! " Cao Ren asked in puzzlement: "Why?" Cao Cao laughed, "Because he is a hero!" Cao Ren was speechless.

Not long after, Cao Cao and Cao Ren spurred their horses out of the camp and went to the Luoyang City. Cao Ren was extremely nervous, but Cao Cao Cao was relaxed and shouted loudly: "Brother Chen, my old friend is here!"

After a while, the city gate opened, and Chen Lang, accompanied by Gan Ning, rushed out of the city. Chen Lang smiled and cupped his fists: "Brother Cao!" Cao Cao said with a smile, "Brother Chen, I came here to see your old friend!" Chen Lang invited: "Since you are an old friend, then let's not talk here. How about we drink a cup in the Du Kang Building?" Cao Cao laughed out loud and nodded, "Alright!" As he spoke, he urged his horse forward. Cao Ren was shocked, but seeing that Cao Cao was already gone, he could only follow.

The two of them entered the city and walked along the main street towards Du Kang Building, laughing out loud while chatting about the matters of the day in Luoyang. Cao Ren, who was following behind Cao Cao, was extremely nervous as he looked around uneasily. Strictly speaking, Cao Cao and Chen Lang were enemies, not friends!
