Wei Cheng suddenly realized why he had been uneasy before. When he heard this, he remembered that it was because of the national jade seal.
However, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to matter. This is just history repeating itself.
According to the inertia of history, the imperial seal will fall into the hands of Yuan Shu sooner or later.
However, I had been staring at Nanyang on the map for a long time, but I had forgotten such a thing.
"Forget it, it's just a piece of jade."
Wei Cheng actually doesn't care too much about passing on the national jade seal or not. What he cares about is his own strength. As long as he is strong enough, he can still dominate the world without the jade seal.
Wei Min and the other three looked at each other, Wei Zhuo frowned and said: "Chen'er, with the jade seal, you can be considered worthy of the throne. It is not just a piece of jade."
Wei Min and Tian Feng also nodded slightly. They also felt that the jade seal was important, otherwise they would not have rushed to come to Wei Cheng to talk about this matter.
Wei Cheng looked at his fifth uncle Wei Zhu. He knew that this fifth uncle had been an official before, and his official position was not small. Such people are particularly concerned about some things that are agreed upon. It is like being an emperor without a jade seal.
.
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Cheng did not refute Uncle Wu's face, but said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, can I ask you a question?"
Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Cheng'er just asked, and Uncle Wu will answer everything he knows."
Wei Cheng smiled and looked at the three of them, then put his hands behind his back and said, "Since this jade seal is so important, not many people have seen it that day, right?"
Wei Yan raised his eyebrows. He first understood something, and then nodded and replied: "It's true that there are not many. In addition, the inner court has been weak in the past ten years... Well, I must have seen the jade seal by now, I'm afraid I can only count it on my five fingers."
Why is Wei Wei so sure? It's because everyone who saw the jade seal was poisoned to death by Dong Zhuo. The only ones left were Liu Xie who escaped, Wang Qing and Wang Yun who gave the jade seal to Yuan Shu, and Dong Zhuo, at most.
The concubine beside Dong Zhuo.
Wei Qing laughed and said: "If that's the case, then why does Yuan Shu say that the jade seal in his hand is the national jade seal?"
Wei Yan blurted out: "There is only one piece of imperial jade seal, and Wang Yun gave it to him. Of course... uh, that's wrong."
Wei Min and Tian Feng were also stunned. After reacting, they both said at the same time, "Where did Wang Yun get the jade seal?"
Wei Wei frowned and said, "Yes, where did he get the jade seal?"
Wei Cheng smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to worry about this issue. You just need to know that the Young Emperor was rescued by us, and the Imperial Seal was also brought out. Now both of them are in our hands."
"But we don't have the jade seal in our hands?"
"Who said no."
Wei Cheng looked at the three of them and said firmly: "I'll do it as I say, and if there are really people who are serious about it, I can still use it to slap them in the face."
"This..." The three of them were speechless for a while.
Wei Qing smiled, cupped hands with the three of them, and said: "Okay, don't worry about whether the jade seal is a jade seal or not. The most important thing right now is to appease the people. Once Dong Zhuo dies, the Qingyang Ferry army will not attack.
It is broken, but the chaos they caused needs to be quelled by you, especially the soldiers who made meritorious service this time. All of them must be heavily rewarded, so that some people can see our sincerity."
some people.
Of course he was talking about Lu Bu, who came to seek refuge with Dong Zhuo's head.
"In addition, Shuofang also needs to send people to send some supplies, and at the same time spread the good news that Dong Zhuo is dead, so that the Huns can see what it means to be isolated and helpless, and what it means to have come and never come back."
Wei Cheng's face was gloomy, and he didn't hate Dong Zhuo that much, but the Huns were different. Dong Zhuo was an internal trouble, while the Huns were an external trouble. If they were not crippled at once, similar incidents would happen in the future.
Wei Cheng wanted to be like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, beating them without fear of being crippled. At least he had to ensure that these people would not dare to make any mistakes in the next twenty or thirty years. Otherwise, if he did this every few years, he would be disgusted to death.
Speaking of Shuofang's issue, Tian Feng's eyes twitched, he took a step forward, raised his hands and said: "Sir, I suggest that Lu Bu lead troops to reinforce. On the one hand, Lu Bu is from Wuyuan County and is familiar with the north. On the other hand, Lu Bu will lead the army this time."
With tens of thousands of soldiers, it would be inappropriate to enter Hedong at once..."
Wei Min and Wei Yan also nodded in agreement.
Wei Cheng thought for a while and said: "It's okay. Lu Fengxian is from Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County. There are barbarians making trouble in Wuyuan County right now. You just need to inform him and give him some guidance."
As for the soldiers under his command, they will have to be divided sooner or later."
A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of Tian Feng and the others.
"Don't worry, sir, I'll leave this matter to Tian."
···
the other side.
As the news of Dong Zhuo's murder spread, the entire Han Dynasty was in chaos.
In Yingchuan, the fight against Dong's coalition army was already in name only.
Yuan Shao did not expect that he had finally become an alliance leader, but in the end he did not get any benefits. However, Yuan Shu returned to Nanyang early, but he got the moon first, and occupied Luoyang and Chang'an successively, and also got the imperial seal.
Kong Rong, Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang, etc. all had suppressed smiles on their faces when they saw him.
Now they no longer care about whether they have an alliance or not. They wanted to fight against Savior Dong together, so they had to listen to Yuan Shao's arrangements.
Now that Dong Zhuo is dead and the young emperor has been rescued by the Hedong Wei clan, they have nothing to worry about.
As for going to Hedong to meet the Young Emperor, this is the top priority. Kong Rong has already made appointments with a few people with whom he has close relationships and plans to set off tomorrow to Hedong County to meet the Holy Emperor.
"Master Kong, do you really want to leave?" Yuan Shao's tone was somewhat cold.
Kong Rong frowned slightly and asked: "What did this mean originally? Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, why are we staying here if we don't leave?"
Yuan Shao also wanted to borrow the power of Kong Rong and others, so he argued: "Dong Zhuo is dead, but his troops are still there. If they are allowed to do whatever they want, won't they be suffering for the people of Guanzhong?"
Kong Rong and others looked at each other. Although Yuan Shao's starting point was definitely not because of this, they were indeed worried that once Dong Zhuo died, the Liangzhou army would be leaderless and would inevitably cause chaos. It would still be the common people who would suffer.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Kuang was kind-hearted and asked: "What do you think Benchu should do?"
Yuan Shao's eyes were filled with joy, and he hurriedly bowed his hands to Wang Kuang and others, and then said righteously: "Of course we will raise our troops to march westward and wipe out all the rebels and traitors in the capital."
Kong Rong sneered in his heart, "I'm afraid your second brother Yuan Shu is also included among these rebellious officials and traitors."
Of course, Kong Rong didn't say this out loud, he just thought about it in his heart. If he really wanted to say it out, it would be a shame.
Just when several people have their own secrets.
Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, Kong Min, the governor of Yuzhou, and Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, came with their own bodyguards.
Kong Ni has not been very energetic recently. He often coughs unconsciously and is seriously ill. Historically, he died of illness this year. Although he is still alive now, he probably won't live long.
Liu Dai was also a short-lived ghost, but he was defeated and died in battle, and he is still very active today.
As for Han Fu, he is just a softie.
This guy was frightened to death by Yuan Shao and Bao Xin. He committed suicide with a knife in the toilet. He was also a deadbeat.
At this time, the three of them were the three with the highest official positions present, and they also had the confidence to face Yuan Shao.
Liu Dai frowned and said, "Do you still want to go to Guanzhong? I, Brother Han, and Brother Kong have already decided to come back for reinforcements. Then Cao A, who is not a son of a man, led his troops to occupy my Yanzhou, and also went to attack Tao Qian's Xuzhou. I can't
Just sit back and do nothing.”
Han Fu raised his eyes, looked at Yuan Shao and Kong Rong, and reminded: "Don't blame me for not telling you that Cao Cao not only plundered grain and grass in Langya County, Xuzhou, but also made trouble in Qingzhou and Jizhou. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible,
I’m afraid there will be endless troubles.”
Yuan Shao was startled when he heard this. His recent intelligence was basically in Guanzhong Chang'an, but he ignored the rear.
At this time, he heard that Cao Cao actually occupied Yanzhou and sent troops to Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, which made him break out in a cold sweat.
Only now did he realize that not only did he not get what he wanted during his trip, he almost had his foundation destroyed.
As the governor of Bohai, Yuan Shao naturally invested a lot of money in Bohai. Not only did he open a private school, but he also had a smelting and forging workshop to make swords, guns, bows and arrows for him. You must know that no matter what era it is, war is a very expensive thing.
I thought that after fighting against Dong this time, I saved the young emperor, but he was no longer a third prince.
All in all, he hasn't been paying attention to the movements in the rear recently. He didn't expect that Cao A'ao, who was living such a bad life, would secretly develop to this stage... this old six.
What frightened him the most was that in order to get closer to Cao Cao, he took Cao Cao to visit his property in Bohai.
Yuan Shao was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He quickly turned around and looked at his cronies, "How long has it been since the Bohai Sea sent a message?"
When the counselor heard this, he cupped his hands and said, "It has been more than half a month. I have been reminding my lord before, but..."
"What, it's been more than half a month, what are you doing for food?"
Yuan Shao was really shocked and angry this time. He had no news for more than half a month. He would definitely not believe it if nothing happened.
And Yuan Shao himself also remembered that in the past few days, Shen Pei and others often suggested that he send people back to check, but he was busy convincing Kong Rong and others to use troops, so he ignored them. Everything was his fault.
But even so, Yuan Shao admitted that he was wrong, and after scolding Shen Pei and others.
Yuan Shao fell into a dilemma.
Should we attack Yuan Shu, or return to Bohai to aid?
Obviously, the current situation does not allow him to have any thoughts about Yuan Shu. Not to mention the pressure from his family, without the support of Kong Rong and others, whether he can defeat Yuan Shu is still a big question.
Finally, Yuan Shao nodded helplessly and said to Han Fu: "Just listen to Mr. Han, and the army will set off immediately to return reinforcements."
When Han Fu heard this, he felt dissatisfied. He actually hoped that Yuan Shao would not return to Jizhou, because he could not control this guy. Instead of letting Yuan Shao go back to fight for power with him, he hoped that the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu would start fighting.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shao is not stupid either.
The intrigues of the alliance against Dong have not the slightest influence on the world situation.
Jingzhou.
Liu Bei and Liu Biao united again.
Moreover, a Yuan Shu was added this time, which can be said to be the most perfect combination so far.
Yuan Shu represents the aristocratic family, Liu Biao represents the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei controls the people's hearts. After the three of them captured Chang'an with lightning speed, they immediately made the matter of obtaining the jade seal public. Everyone knows why.
However, now the three of them have encountered a big trouble.
There is a jade seal, but no one will inherit the throne.
Liu Xie, the only qualified person, was also taken away by the Wei family, which made them feel as if they had been punched in cotton and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Chang'an.
Because of Lu Bu's relationship, there was no place to stay in the city. Lu Bu not only set fire to the city, but also took away all the food and supplies Dong Zhuo had accumulated, leaving them with a mess.
Fortunately, there is still a surplus of food in Jingzhou, otherwise it would be difficult to clean up such a huge mess.
In Weiyang Palace.
Yuan Shu punched the eucalyptus and said angrily: "This won't work, that won't work either, so what's the point of us working so hard to win two capitals?"
Facing Yuan Shu's scolding, Guan Yu, who was standing behind Liu Bei, couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand unconsciously.
Ji Ling, who was behind Yuan Shu, saw this and took a step forward. The three-pointed, two-edged sword in his hand moved unwillingly.
Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly stopped Guan Yu. Facing Yuan Shu, who still had the temperament of a noble man, he persuaded him nicely: "Brother Yuan, please be patient. Liu just said not to move now, not later. The jade seal is in our hands."
, as long as we welcome the young emperor back, all problems will naturally be solved."
Yuan Shu sneered, "Are you stupid for thinking Wei Zhongdao? If the young emperor is in his hands, will he still send it back to you?"
Liu Bei smiled slightly and said confidently: "Brother Yuan misunderstood Liu's meaning. Liu did not say that he must welcome back the young emperor. Since the young emperor went to Hedong to recuperate, let him go, but after all, this is where the Han Dynasty is.
As the capital of the country, edicts must be announced to the world from here, and the most important thing is that all the emperor's decrees are indispensable with a seal."
Yuan Shu was still a little confused.
At this time, dozens of figures came to the door one after another. The first person high-fived and praised: "Hahaha, you are worthy of Liu Xuande. You can think of this, which shows that Zi Qian (Lu Zhi)'s teachings to you are not in vain."
, indeed a bit quick-witted.”
Liu Bei looked back and couldn't help but bow his hands respectfully, "Student Liu Bei, I have met Wang Situ."
Yes, the person who came was none other than Situ Wang Yun, and behind him were the court officials who were still alive.
Faced with so many officials, Yuan Shu did not dare to show off. He stood up, bowed his hands, and looked at Yuan's two uncles in the crowd.
The two Yuans nodded vaguely towards him, but did not come forward to speak.
At this time, the Yuan family needs someone to take the lead, and this person must be Wang Yun, because what they are going to do next is a bit treacherous to say, and a bad move may leave an infamy in the history books.
But Wang Yun has already broken the pot, and the Wang family in Taiyuan has been destroyed. If he wants to build another Wang family, he must have the courage of the overlord of Chu to break the cauldron and sink the boat.
All of this was obtained by Wang Yun with the jade seal. There was only one chance, and success or failure depended on his single thought.
