Liu Bei was silent, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were silent. After they heard about Yuxi, they came to inform Liu Bei as soon as possible. Didn't they hope that the jade seal could fall into Liu Bei's hands?
As a result, Chen Xi now said that the jade seal was just a bait. If it were not for the previous series of plans that made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei recognize Chen Xi, they would have already slapped him a long time ago.
Liu Bei took a deep breath, looked at Chen Xi with red eyes, and said, "I value the jade seal too much. As you said, the jade seal is nothing but a foreign object. Li Ru is really terrifying!"
Liu Bei's heart was bleeding, and he finally felt the terror of Li Ru. Even now, when Chen Xi tells him that this is just a bait, he still wants to snatch it, not to mention other people who don't know that it is a bait. They really think it was accidentally salvaged by Sun Jian and the information was accidentally leaked.
"Let's go have a look. Just remember that no matter how much you want it, you don't make a move. If you want to force Sun Jian, he won't admit it even if he doesn't have any face left." Chen Xi sighed and said. Li Ru's bait for the coalition warlords was simply irresistible. Now, let alone chasing Dong Zhuo, it is already a miracle that they did not fight on the spot.
"Okay!" Liu Bei said solemnly, "I also ask Chen Xi to remind me more about this kind of thing in the future. Li Ru is indeed a far-sighted person, and the war is just like what Chen Xi said. It was just a strategic retreat by Li Ru. After returning to the position of the Western Qin Dynasty, it's nothing more than the strategy of disturbing the world."
Chen Xi didn't talk about the jade seal anymore. Since Liu Bei said he would not touch the jade seal, then don't remind him again. If there is no way to control such a temptation, then he is not Liu Bei.
"Strategic retreat is impossible." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "If Dong Zhuo is still the same as before, then it is needless to say that these are all bait, and the retreat is just to watch the fire from the shore, but now it is different. Dong Zhuo has abandoned his ambitions, and these plans are still carried out. But the core of the plan is different. Dong Zhuo, who has no ambitions, will not be too far away from his death."
"Oh, that's good." Liu Bei was surprised, although there was a touch of joy on the surface. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally he did not speak. He sigh, Li Ru was a rebel after all.
As usual, Liu Bei still took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Xi to the main camp, but it was different from the previous situation. This time the atmosphere in the camp was depressing. Seeing Liu Bei coming in, except for Kong Rong, Tao Qian, and Cao Cao's gestures with their eyes, everyone else was jealous.
"Leader Yuan, since Luoyang has been captured and Dong Zhuo has fled, our established strategic goal has been achieved, and we will return to Taishan in the future. As for other matters, please don't let your emotion out of control and let Dong Zhuo see a joke." Liu Bei saw that everyone was extremely jealous, and he felt helpless. He intentionally hinted, that the rumors was to divide the warlords.
When everyone heard what Liu Bei said, they couldn't hear what Liu Bei wanted to say, but they heard the meaning of Liu Bei's withdrawal. Now that he has withdrawn from the alliance, he will naturally not pose a threat to the fight for jade seal, so Liu Bei is no longer for a handicap restraining everyone. Suddenly everyone became enthusiastic about Liu Bei.
[Hey, I can only help you to here. It seems that some people has already understood the meaning of it. Chen Xi did praise Ju Shou, as expected, he have already heard the meaning of it, but his uncertain look. Is it unimaginable? ] Liu Bei thought with great interest. Ut was not that he didn't want to point it out, but that it didn't make sense to point it out. The dispute was still to be argued, and he would have to be involved.
Liu Bei just smiled at the crowd's support, and did not express anything. He is now just like Kong Rong, who is a witness. If they really get the jade seal from Sun Jian, and it is in the testimony of the Han family clan and the descendants of the saints. After getting permission to protect it, there will be a lot of room to talk about after that.
Sun Jian finally appeared with Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, and his face was pale, most of which was covered up by the loess.
"Cough, cough, cough, forgive me. My old illness has acted up, and can no longer continue to lead the army. I have let down the goodwill of the leader. Jian is here to apologize deeply, cough, cough, cough." Sun Jian said, coughing, looking like he was really sick, "In desperation, I plan to leave Luoyang today and return to Jiangdong, so as not to bury my bones far away from home."
Sun Jian's words are simply bleak. A strong man turned into a white-headed man overnight, and his original heroic spirit turned into a sickly old man overnight. He just wanted to die and return to his hometown. How helpless it was.
If there is no such thing as the jade seal, Yuan Shao will let him go without saying a word, and even send him ten miles away, but now there is the jade seal issue. Don't say that Sun Jian is not dead, even if he is dead, they would should dig him out and find the imperial jade seal.
Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat, sneered again and again, and said in his heart, [You see how Liu Bei acted, you still dare to play with me, you are seeking death.]
Yuan Shao, with a sneer on his face, looked at Sun Jian and said, "Sun Jian, your illness is a fake, and it's true that you have the jade seal!"
Sun Jian was shocked, how could Yuan Shao know when he had blocked the news very well. His eyes rolled, pretending to be stupid, "Why don't I understand what the leader said? When did I get the jade seal?"
Yuan Shao sneered, "Ask anyone around you, who still don't know?"
Sun Jian was taken aback. After he got the jade seal, he did not search again, and went straight back to his base camp. Then the whole army was preparing to leave Luoyang and return to their hometown of Yangzhou. When they were preparing to leave, they did not pay attention to the rumors in the camp at all, so it should be still be a secret in his impression.
After Sun Jian turned his head and looked at everyone, he suddenly felt anxious. Almost everyone looked at him like a fool. Sun Jian immediately understood that the jade seal had been exposed!
"Sun Jian, what else do you have to say!" Yuan Shao said mercilessly, "Hand over the jade seal, that is not something you can touched!"
Sun Jian said with a stern heart, "I didn't get the jade seal at all, but I will bring you something else!"
Yuan Shao was furious, and Sun Jian's hard mouth made him mad, "Hmph, let you see someone!" He clapped his hands, and a soldier came in from outside the camp. "He saw you salvage the jade seal!"
Sun Jian was furious. The man was originally his guard, and now he is standing beside Yuan Shao. He drew his sword to kill him.
"You dare to kill the sergeant, you must want to bully me. Where is Yan Liang and Wen Chou!" Yuan Shao saw that he was too soft when he saw Sun Jian drawing his sword, and he suddenly shouted.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou instantly appear around Yuan Shao, their sword pointed at Sun Jian. Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang stood in front of them each with their own weapons. In a moment, the entire main camp had drawn their swords and blood was about to be splattered.
The warlords stepped forward to persuade him, and saw Sun Jian said with a finger pointed up, "If I steal the jade seal, I will die under the arrow in the future." After finishing speaking, regardless of everyone's reaction, he left directly, and then took his soldiers that were prepared to leave. The soldiers left so quickly that everyone hadn't even reacted.
