Legend of Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 33 Burning Luoyang

A few days later, Gongsun Xu rode his horse in the camp of the allied princes outside Luoyang City, Dian Wei and Li Chengliang followed him.At this time, Gongsun Xu looked at Luoyang City, where the flames had not been extinguished in the distance, and sighed in his heart.

Dong Zhuo finally burned Luoyang City, but Dong Zhuo probably would not have come up with such a vicious method, it should be Li Ru's handwriting.

Speaking of Li Ru, Gongsun Xu couldn't help frowning. Gongsun Xu didn't know much about Li Ru, he only knew that he was Dong Zhuo's number one counselor, and he was highly valued by Dong Zhuo. In order to win over Li Ru, Dong Zhuo, He even married his daughter to Li Ru.And Li Ru did not disappoint Dong Zhuo, and had been advising Dong Zhuo until Dong Zhuo's death.

However, Dong Zhuo in the later period was really not able to support the wall with mud. Even though he had the number one counselor and the number one general in this era, he was still addicted to wine and sex. In the end, he lost his hard-earned foundation and ended up in a miserable state. fate.

A few days ago, Zhao Cen, the guard of Sishui Pass, first saw Dong Zhuo go west and offered the pass to Sun Jian, and the nine princes from the direction of Sishui Pass entered Sishui Pass.Sun Jian first led his troops to Luoyang.

On the side of Hulao Pass, without the restraint of fierce generals such as Lu Bu and Zhang Xian, relying on the bravery of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, and Luo Cheng, the nine princes under Hulao Pass successfully captured Hulao Pass.Afterwards, the troops arranged were stationed at Hulao Pass, and the princes of the nine routes came to Luoyang City together.

Sun Jian went to Luoyang first, but what he saw was that the fire was burning in the sky in Luoyang, and the sky was full of black smoke. It turned out that before leaving Luoyang, Dong Zhuo ordered his soldiers to forcibly ransack the homes of thousands of wealthy households in Luoyang, looting an unknown amount of money, and returning Drive millions of people to Chang'an.He even ordered Lu Bu to excavate the imperial tomb of the Han Dynasty, took the funeral objects from the imperial tomb, packed thousands of carts of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, and headed for Chang'an City.In the end, they set fire to Luoyang City and the major city gates in an attempt to burn Luoyang City into a pile of ashes.

When Sun Jian arrived in Luoyang, nearly half of the residential buildings in Luoyang City, as well as the ancestral temples and palaces of the Han Dynasty, had basically been reduced to a pile of scorched earth.

After Sun Jian saw the scene of Luoyang, he had no choice but to lead his soldiers and horses into Luoyang city to put out the fire, and then the seventeen princes who came later set up their camp outside Luoyang city.

At this time, Gongsun Xu only heard a loud noise not far away, and when he looked intently, he saw that a group of people was gathering.Gongsun Xu took a closer look, but found that there was a word "Cao" written on a big flag.

"Cao? That should be Cao Cao's men, but what is Cao Cao going to do with his men? Dong Zhuo has already left Luoyang, and there are no rebellious soldiers around Luoyang. Is this Cao Cao going to chase Dong Zhuo? But if he is going to chase Dong Zhuo, why is he the only one? Are you going all the way? Or is it that Cao Cao is already disheartened by the eighteenth princes seeking Dong, and is planning to leave with his troops?"

Just as Gongsun Xu was thinking, Cao Cao's men and horses had already assembled. Cao Cao sat astride a black horse, with a long sword hanging obliquely at his waist, with an angry expression on his face. There were also six generals behind him. Gongsun Xu recognized them. It was Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, Le Jin, and Li Dian under Cao Cao's command.

I saw Cao Cao snorted angrily, pulled the reins of his war horse, and rode Juechen away to the outside of the camp.After that came Cao Ren and other six generals, and after that came Cao Cao's troops. Gongsun Xu estimated that there were more than ten thousand people.

Cao Cao's men and horses left the camp mightily, and there was a lot of movement, but none of the princes came to accompany Cao Cao. Gongsun Xu knew that there was a problem even if he didn't use his brain.Gongsun Xu's soul came from later generations. He knew for a long time that there were many conflicts among the eighteen princes, and sooner or later they would break up unhappy, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the city of Luoyang, the conflict broke out, and Cao Cao led his troops out of the camp directly.

Gongsun Xu didn't know what happened for a while, but when he saw Gongsun Zan, it was already half a day later. During this half day, Gongsun Xu, Dian Wei, and Li Chengliang entered Luoyang City, commanding soldiers to put out the fire.He was so busy that he had forgotten about Cao Cao's affairs, but Gongsun Xu seemed to have forgotten something, and he was always restless.

After seeing Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Xu suddenly remembered what happened to Cao Cao in the morning, so he asked Gongsun Zan the question in his heart: "Father, this morning I saw Cao Cao, the captain of the Xiaoqi school, taking his soldiers out of the camp. I don't know why. reason?"

Gongsun Zan snorted and said, "Then Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had been at odds for a long time, but this time there was some dispute."

Gongsun Xu asked: "Dispute? Why?"

Gongsun Zan said: "Cao Mengde wanted to pursue Dong Zhuo, but Yuan Benchu ​​said that the soldiers were tired and he didn't want to pursue him. Cao Cao was furious and went after Dong Zhuo alone."

Gongsun continued to ask: "Father, what are you?"

"Me?" Gongsun Zan sneered, and said, "Even if Dong Zhuo is dead, what good will it do to me? With His Majesty's ability today, the imperial court is still going to be controlled by his relatives. To me, the court and relatives controlled by Dong Zhuo What is the difference between the controlled court?"

Gongsun Xu had to admire Gongsun Zan's vision. Historically, after Dong Zhuo's death, Liu Xie used Wang Yun, Fu Wan and others. Although these people were also loyal to the Han Dynasty, for Gongsun Xu, only the Han Dynasty was destroyed. Only then can there be a chance to fight for hegemony in the world, otherwise if you raise an army by yourself, I am afraid that you will be the next Zhang Jiao.

Although the current Han Dynasty is on the verge of death, its power still exists, and its minions are still sharp.

Therefore, Gongsun Xu actually didn't want to kill Dong Zhuo. Anyway, according to history, Dong Zhuo would not live long. If history continues, he can still have an advantage. If he intervenes rashly and does something big, I'm afraid history will change.

My advantage over others is that I have a vision that is more than 800 years ahead of the current people and the summoning system I have, so Gongsun Xu doesn't want to change anything.

However, Gongsun Xu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had thought of something, and asked Gongsun Zan, "Father, according to your opinion, where should this Dong Zhuo be now?"

Gongsun Zan stroked his beard and said, "With Dong Zhuo's marching speed, we should have reached Xingyang by now."

Xingyang.Gongsun Xu was startled. It seemed that Cao Cao was ambushed by Dong Zhuo at this place, and almost died. Fortunately, it was Xiahou Dun and others who withstood Lv Bu's attack and Cao Cao escaped.

Gongsun Xu's heart skipped a beat. Now Dong Zhuo's subordinates don't know Lv Bu alone, and Zhang Xian, Zhang Qing, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng are four fierce generals who entered because of his own summoning.I don't know if Cao Cao can escape with his life this time.

Although Cao Cao is the most powerful opponent of the Three Kingdoms, for Gongsun Xu, he doesn't want Cao ** to be here. After all, Gongsun Zan will have to face Yuan Shao later. He sent four people to Dong Zhuo's side. God knows how many people would fall into Yuan Shao's hands if he continued to summon in the future.

Therefore, Gongsun Xu needs an ally to contain Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao is undoubtedly the best choice.

Thinking of this, Gongsun continued: "Father, my son is afraid that Captain Cao will be ambushed by Dong Zhuo's army. My son wants to lead two thousand troops to rescue Mr. Cao."

Gongsun Zan raised his eyebrows and said, "Ambush?"

Gongsun continued: "Father, Li Ru under Dong Zhuo's command is full of tricks, and there are strong generals such as Lu Bu and Zhang Xian, and Captain Cao is chasing him alone. I'm afraid."

Gongsun Zan said: "Okay, then you can take two thousand white horse righteous followers. Cao Mengde has only been gone for half a day, and with the speed of the white horse righteous followers, he will definitely be able to catch up."

"My son obeys the order." Gongsun Xu immediately went to Yan Gang's men to collect two thousand white horses and left the camp.Accompanying them are Luo Cheng, Dian Wei, and Li Chengliang, three great generals.

Gongsun Zan also wanted to hone his son, and even Yan Gang didn't follow Gongsun to attack.

Gongsun Xu rode on the horse, anxious in his heart, wondering if it was too late for him, although Cao Cao did not die here in history, but because of himself as a butterfly, history has undergone some changes, so for Cao Cao Gongsun Xu did not dare to guarantee his fate.

Just when Gongsun Xu left, a major event happened in Luoyang City.

Chapter 34 Jade Seal of Chuanguo

In Luoyang City, inside Jianzhang Hall.Sun Jian was directing some soldiers to extinguish the remaining flames.Clean up the ruins, rubble and rubble.

Looking at this once magnificent palace, Sun Jian can only sigh now.

I saw Sun Jian holding an ancient ingot knife in his hand, and sighed: "Your Majesty is suffering, traitors are disrupting the country, this is what the imperial capital of Luoyang City has been like for 200 years now, there are not a hundred households in the city, and the people are devastated. This is a catastrophe for the world. .”

At this time, Huang Gai ran to Sun Jian's side in a panic.Seeing Huang Gai's flustered appearance, Sun Jian was not very happy, and said, "Gongfu, why are you so flustered?"

Huang Gai walked up to Sun Jian and whispered something in his ear.

After Sun Jian heard this, he frowned and said to Huang Gai, "Take me there."

Huang Gai led Sun Jian to a well.I saw five colors of light flickering in the well, which was extremely strange.

Huang Gai said: "There seems to be something in this well that emits these five colors of light. I dare not move it lightly, so I invite my elder brother to come and decide."

Sun Jian looked at the five-color light, thought for a while, and then ordered the soldiers to bring torches and go down the well to salvage the luminous object.

After a while, the soldiers who went down to salvage the well climbed out of the well, and brought a corpse with them at the same time.Sun Jian looked over, and saw that it was a woman's corpse, wearing court ladies' attire, it seemed that she had been dead for a long time, but the body did not show any signs of decay.

Sun Jian suddenly discovered that there was a kit hanging on the corpse's neck, which looked heavy, and the five-color light was emitted from the kit.

Sun Jian winked at Huang Gai who was next to him. Huang Gai understood Sun Jian's intention and stepped forward to take down the kit.

Huang Gai unwrapped the kit and found a small scarlet box inside, locked with a golden lock.Seeing this, Huang Gai looked at Sun Jian.Sun Jian felt Huang Gai's gaze and knew what Huang Gai meant, so he nodded.

Huang Gai got Sun Jian's agreement, drew out the saber from his waist, and slashed at Jinsuo.

There was a flash of saber light, and a crisp sound was heard, and everyone chopped at the golden lock again, only to see that the golden lock had been broken in two.

Huang Gai opened the small vermilion box and took out something, Sun Jian looked at it, but found that it was a jade seal, about four inches in diameter, with five dragons on it, but a corner was missing on the side, which was inlaid with gold.Sun Jian took a closer look and found that there were eight seal scripts engraved on the jade seal, which were the eight characters "Ordered by the heavens, and longevity will last forever".

Although Sun Jian is said to be the descendant of his grandson, his family background has long been in decline, and his father, Sun Zhong, even made a living by growing melons, so Sun Jian didn't know about it.However, Cheng Pu in Sun Jian's army was very knowledgeable, so Sun Jian took this jade seal and asked Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu was shocked when he saw the Dao Yuxi, and said to Sun Jian: "My lord, this is the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom. It is rumored that there was a man named Bian He in Chu State. It is said that this person once saw a phoenix on Jingshan Mountain. He lived on a stone, and Bian He presented the stone to King Wen of Chu. King Wen of Chu ordered craftsmen to carve it, and got a piece of peerless beautiful jade. Later, some people called that piece of beautiful jade He's Bi. Later, He's Bi fell In the hands of Yingzheng, the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, Yingzheng ordered craftsmen to carve Heshibi into a jade seal, and Li Si engraved the Chinese characters "Ordered by heaven, long life and eternal prosperity" on it. It is rumored that in the 28th year of Qin Shihuang, Yingzheng crossed Dongting Lake on a dragon boat, and there was a lot of wind and waves , the dragon boat was about to fall, and Yingzheng ordered people to throw the jade seal into Dongting Lake, and the wind and waves disappeared immediately. Later, in the 36th year of the first emperor, someone presented this jade seal to Yingzheng, and it returned to Yingzheng. When Wang Mang usurped power, he sent his younger brother Wang Shun to ask the Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan for the Imperial Seal, and the Empress Dowager smashed it at Wang Shun, causing a corner of the Imperial Seal to be broken , and later asked the craftsmen to inlay it with gold. Emperor Guangwu obtained this object in Yiyang, and he became a great treasure. When the ten permanent servants rebelled, Yuan Benchu ​​entered the palace to kill the eunuch. At the time of the palace, the Jade Seal of Chuanguo was nowhere to be found."

Speaking of this, Cheng Pu looked at Sun Jian, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom has fallen into the hands of the lord, it is the will of the heavens, and the lord must be in the ninth and fifth positions. Now Luoyang City is full of fish and dragons, with many ears and eyes, it is not suitable If you stay for a long time, the lord should return to Jiangdong as soon as possible to plan big things."
