"Now that the Hunjun Zhao Gou has named you King Xu, do you really want to hand over the imperial seal?"
Yue Lin came to ask Xu Xian this day.
"snort……!"
"Since Hunjun has already made me king, just make me king. As for the imperial seal, don't even think about it!"
"This imperial jade seal does not belong to their Song Dynasty, why should I hand it over?"
After all, Xu Xian's purpose of asking Zhao Gou to be crowned king has been achieved, so of course it is impossible to hand over the imperial seal.
"But what if the foolish king gets angry and joins the Tatars in sending troops to attack you, the prince?"
"But with our current strength, I'm afraid we still can't cope with the combined efforts of the Hunjun and the Tatars!"
Yue Lin had a worried expression on his face.
"What are you afraid of?"
"The Hunjun is just a man who is strong internally and externally. Sooner or later, the Hunjun will send troops to attack me. If he sends troops, we can justifiably establish our own political power!"
"And haven't you heard that in the past few days, rumors have spread among the Han people in Luoyang City and even throughout the world that I, Marshal Xu, am the destined emperor?"
"It seems that our first step plan has been implemented perfectly!"
Xu Xian was very confident.
"Too!"
"It seems that the day when you, Prince Xu, will ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor is not far away!"
"But Prince Xu, you must remember Zhang Bangchang's lesson!"
Yue Lin reminded Xu Xian again.
"Zhang Bangchang failed to proclaim himself emperor simply because he was a puppet in the hands of the Tatars at the time and was not popular among the people. However, he was also very sensible and finally passed the throne to the current emperor!"
"And I, Xu Xian, not only want to win the hearts and minds of the people, but also rely on my own strength to drive out the Tatars, eliminate the Song Dynasty, and restore our Central Plains mountains and rivers!"
"correct!"
"The treasure hunt in Mang Mountain, how is the situation there?"
Of course Xu Xian attaches great importance to the matter of touching gold.
"Prince Xu, come with me and take a look and you will know!"
After Yue Lin finished speaking, he left Luoyang with Xu Xian, passed through several blockades by soldiers, and arrived at Mang Mountain.
"Prince Xu, look!"
"These imperial tombs of the Western Jin Dynasty, which are said to be from Sima Yi's lineage, have already been excavated!"
"We didn't get any treasure from it!"
First, Yue Lin took Xu Xian to the vicinity of Shouyang Mountain.
"Prince Xu, look at this hilltop. It is said that it is the Shouyang Tomb of Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi!"
"But after many searches by Taoist Priest Qing Yan, we have never found the existence of a land or palace here!"
"I'm afraid that the rumored Shouyang Tomb may be a virtual tomb, and it's hard to find where the real Shouyang Tomb is!"
"Later, Cao Rui's Gaoping Mausoleum was discovered to have been stolen, and Cao Cao's Gaoping Mausoleum is not in Luoyang, so we can no longer hope to obtain the treasures we need from Cao Wei Sima Jin's imperial mausoleum!"
Then Yue Lin took Xu Xian to the main peak of Shouyang Mountain and reported to Xu Xian.
"Since we can't count on the tombs of Sima Cao and Wei, what about the tombs of the Han Emperor and the Xianbei Wei Tombs that once made Luoyang the capital?"
Xu Xian asked again.
"The mausoleum of the Han Emperor has been lost for a long time. After the Yellow Turban Army entered Luoyang, they hollowed out all the tombs of the Han Emperor. Even the coffins and coffins in them were burned. How can there be any treasures?"
"As for the Xianbei Wei Emperor's Mausoleum, it has long been empty like Sima Jin's Imperial Mausoleum, so it is worthless!"
"But I heard that the Tombs of Emperor Wu and Emperor Qin in the Guanzhong area seem to be still intact!"
Yue Lin introduced again.
"According to what you said, it seems that Beimang is full of empty tombs. Our work has been in vain!"
"It seems that for the sake of the treasures in Emperor Wu's Mausoleum and Emperor Qin's Mausoleum, and for the development and growth of our Great 'Cauldron' Army, we should prepare for the Battle of Tongguan!"
Xu Xian originally didn't want to rush to attack Guanzhong, but he originally wanted to harvest Beimang, but he failed.
Xu Xian is not willing to give in. After all, although he now has a lot of wealth obtained from Bianjing and Huainan, it is far from enough to rely on these to support the development of the army.
So Xu Xian ordered his people to start building firearms and prepare to attack Tongguan and enter the middle of the pass.
At the same time, outside Daming Mansion on Hebei West Road, a big battle was about to begin.
The two protagonists of this battle are naturally Pu San Zhongyi and Tu Dan Hexi.
"Tudan Hexi, if you are wise, please quickly hand over Wanyan Guangying, the remnant of King Hailing, otherwise don't blame me, Pushan, for being loyal and disregarding the righteousness of our former dynasty!"
Pu Shan Zhongyi was riding on his horse and shouted loudly towards where Tu Dan Hexi was not far away.
"You, a traitor, actually betrayed the late emperor for the sake of a woman, and joined forces to rebel against King Wan Yanyong, and now you want to attack His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"You...the traitor...the traitor!"
Tu Dan Hexi immediately responded to Pu Shan Zhongyi.
"Wan Yanliang went against the will of heaven and has already received the retribution he deserves. Now that His Highness Prince Ge has succeeded to the throne as the emperor, he is complying with the destiny and the will of the people!"
"If you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible and be loyal to the new emperor, I believe that the new emperor will not treat you badly!"
Pu San Zhongyi continued to shout.
"Stop talking nonsense, if you see the truth on the battlefield, if you want to fight, then fight!"
Tu Dan Hexi didn’t want to talk nonsense anymore.
So the two armies immediately started fighting.
The entire Daming Mansion was surrounded by the sound of killing and screams, and the war was extremely cruel.
In Zhending Mansion, a hundred miles north of Daming Mansion, a hunting operation was going on.
"Your Majesty!"
"We found a male wolf ahead!"
"It seems that the male wolf is chasing a leopard in it!"
At this time, Wanyan Yongzheng was hunting in the nearby mountains and forests with a bow and arrow on his back, when suddenly a soldier reminded him.
"Wolves and leopards fighting each other is a good sign, a good sign!"
"Hurry up and follow me, follow me!"
"Today I not only want to taste leopard meat, but also what wolf meat tastes like!"
Wan Yanyong gave orders to the left and right and chased after him.
After a while, Wan Yanyong and his group finally caught up with the male wolf and leopard that the soldiers had discovered before.
"Why do these wolves and leopards ignore our arrival and not run away, but are still fighting to the death here anyway?"
"Could it be that they have some grudge?"
"Don't touch them yet!"
Wan Yanyong suddenly felt a little curious. After all, since he had been hunting since he was a child, this was the first time he saw a leopard and a wolf not running away but still killing each other after discovering the hunter.
"The leopard is obviously a female leopard, and the wolf is a male. They have such a great hatred. I think the wolf must have eaten the cubs of the female leopard and angered the female leopard, so they fought desperately!"
Wanyan Fushou came over to explain.
"This isn't right either!"
"Obviously the male wolf has been chasing the female leopard. It seems more like the female leopard has killed the male wolf's mate!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"The male wolf and female leopard escaped while we were not paying attention!"
"They escaped!"
Wanyan Yongzheng was analyzing, but was suddenly interrupted by Wanyan Fushou.
"What?"
"Both the male wolf and the female leopard ran away?"
"Not good, not good!"
"Pu San Zhongyi and Tu Dan Hexi might be deceiving me!"
"You follow me south immediately, I can't let them fool me anymore!"
At this moment, Wan Yanyong seemed to think of Pu San Zhongyi and Tu Dan Hexi who were fighting in Daming Mansion.
After all, the reason why Wanyan Yong did not go south was because Pu San Zhongyi, who had surrendered to him, promised himself that he would eliminate Tu Dan Hexi for himself and open a way south to the Yellow River.
However, Pusan Zhongyi has been unable to eliminate Tudan Hexi for Wanyanyong, causing Wanyanyong to gradually begin to doubt Pusan Zhongyi.
