Chapter 7 The Sixth Burning of the Golden Palace, Dong Zhuo's Murder, Hiding Yuxi and Sun Jian's Breaking the Contract

But he said that Zhang Fei rushed to the gate, and the gate was closed like rain with arrows and stones, and he was not allowed to go back.The princes of the eight routes also invited Xuande, Guan, and Zhang Hegong to send people to Yuan Shaozhai to report victory.Shao then moved to call on Sun Jian and ordered him to march.Jian led Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to meet Yuan Shuzhai.Jian drew the ground with his stick and said: "There is no gap between Dong Zhuo and me."Today, I risk my own life, risking arrows and rocks, to fight the warriors to death: the top seeks thieves for the country, and the bottom is for the general's family's private interests; but the general listens to slander, does not give out food and grass, and leads to defeat. What about the general?Shu was terrified and speechless, and ordered to kill the slanderer to thank Sun Jian.

Suddenly someone reported to Jian and said: "There is a general in the pass. He came to the stronghold on a horse and wanted to see the general."He resigned Yuan Shu firmly and returned to the village. When he called to ask questions, it was Dong Zhuo's love general Li Jue.Jian said: "Why are you here?"Jue said: "The prime minister respects only the general's ears."Today's special envoy Jue came to get married: the prime minister has a daughter, and he wants to marry the general's son.Jian was furious and shouted: "Dong Zhuo is against the sky and has no way, and he overthrew the royal family. I want to wipe out his nine clans to thank the world. Anken is married to the traitor!"I will not kill you!You should go quickly, offer the pass early, and spare your life!If you delay, you will be smashed to pieces!

Li Jue ran away with his head in his arms, and when he returned to Dong Zhuo, he said that Sun Jian was so rude.Zhuo was angry and asked Li Ru.Confucianism said: Marquis Wen is newly defeated, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit.Why don't you lead your troops back to Luoyang and move the emperor to Chang'an to respond to nursery rhymes.Recently, there is a nursery rhyme in the market saying: There is a Han in the west, and a Han in the east.It's not difficult for a deer to walk into Chang'an.Thinking about this, the first Han Dynasty in the west is based on the fact that Gao Zu was prosperous in the western capital Chang'an, and the 12 emperors were passed down;When the fate is back, the prime minister moves back to Chang'an, so there will be no worries.Zhuo Daxi said, "If it wasn't for what you said, I wouldn't realize it."Then Lu Bu was led back to Luoyang at night to discuss moving the capital.Gathering civil and military affairs in the court, Zhuo said: Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, has declined for more than two hundred years.I see that the prosperous energy is really in Chang'an, and I want to be lucky in the west.You and others should promote the installation.Situ Yang Biao said: Guanzhong is dilapidated and scattered.Now donate the ancestral temple and abandon the imperial mausoleum for no reason, fearing that the people will be alarmed.It is easy to move the world, but difficult to be safe: I hope the prime minister will observe it.Zhuo said angrily, "Are you hindering the country's great plan?"Taiwei Huang Wan said: "Yang Situ's words are also true: Wang Mang usurped the rebellion in the past, and at the time of the red eyebrows, he burned Chang'an and turned it into a land of rubble; moreover, the people migrated, and there is no one or two; now he abandons the palace and lives. Wasteland is not suitable.Zhuo said: "The bandits in the east of the Guandong have caused chaos all over the world; Chang'an is in danger of Wei and Han; nearer Longyou, wood, stone, brick and tile can be done in a few days, and the construction of palaces does not take more than a month."Please stop talking nonsense.Situ Xun Shuang remonstrated: If the prime minister wants to move the capital, the people will be in turmoil.Zhuo said angrily, "I'm planning for the world, so I don't care about the little people!"On that day, Yang Biao, Huang Wan, and Xun Shuang were dismissed as common people.When Zhuo got out of the car, he saw two people looking at the car and bowing to each other. They were Shang Shu Zhou Yu and Chengmen Xiaowei Wu Qiong.Zhuo asked what was the matter, and Wu said: "Now I heard that the prime minister wants to move the capital to Chang'an, so I came to admonish you."Zhuo said angrily: "At first I listened to you two, and I kept Yuan Shao; now Shao has rebelled, and you are the same party!"Chi warrior launched a capital beheading.Then he ordered the capital to be moved, only in the next day.Li Ru said: "Nowadays there is a shortage of money and food, and there are so many wealthy households in Luoyang, but they are not registered as officials."However, if Yuan Shao and his subordinates killed his clan party and copied his family's wealth, they would surely gain tens of thousands.

Zhuo Xi sent five thousand iron cavalry, went all over Luoyang to arrest wealthy households, thousands of them in total, planted flags on their heads, wrote big letters against ministers and rebels, and killed them all outside the city to take their gold.Li Jue and Guo Si drove millions of people from Luoyang to Chang'an.One team for each commoner, one team for the army, dragging each other; those who died in the ravine are innumerable.They also let the soldiers prostitute their wives and daughters, and robbed them of food; the sound of crying shook the heaven and the earth.If anyone is late, the 3000 troops behind him will urge the supervisor, and the soldiers will kill people on the road with white knives in their hands.Zhuo Linxing taught all the sects to set fire to the houses of the residents and the palace of the ancestral temple.The north and south palaces are connected by flames; the Changle ④ palace is completely scorched.He also sent Lu Bu to excavate the mausoleums of the first emperors and concubines and take their golden treasures.The sergeants took advantage of the momentum to dig up the graves of officials and civilians.Dong Zhuo loaded more than thousands of carts with gold, pearls, satin and good things, robbed the emperor and concubines, and went to Chang'an.

But Zhao Cen, the general of Zhuo, saw that Zhuo had abandoned Luoyang, so he offered Sishuiguan.Sun Jian drove his troops in first, Xuande, Guan, and Zhang entered Hulao Pass, and the princes each led their troops in. Let’s say that Sun Jian flew to Luoyang and watched the flames soaring into the sky, and the black smoke covered the ground. For two or three hundred miles, there were no chickens, dogs or people.Cao Cao came to see Yuan Shao and said: "Now Dong's thief is going west, and he can take advantage of the momentum to pursue him. Why didn't he stay still at the beginning?"Shao said: "The soldiers are exhausted, and it may be useless to advance."Cao said: Dong Bandit burned the palace, robbed and moved the emperor, and the sea was shaken, and he didn't know where he was going. This is the time when the sky is dying, and the world will be settled in one battle.Why don't you enter in doubt?All the princes said not to move lightly.Cao said angrily: "Shuzi is not enough and tricky!"So he led more than ten thousand soldiers, including Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Lejin, to chase Dong Zhuo in the starry night.

Let's say that Dong Zhuo traveled to Xingyang, and the prefect Xu Rong came out to meet him.Li Ru said: "The prime minister has newly abandoned Luoyang to guard against pursuers."You can teach Xu Rong to ambush the army by the side of the mountain dock outside Xingyang City: If there are soldiers chasing them, they can let them go; wait for me to kill and defeat them, and then intercept and kill them.Make latecomers dare not follow up.Zhuo followed his strategy and ordered Lü Bu to lead his elite troops back.As Buzheng was walking, Cao Cao's army caught up.Lu Bu laughed and said, "It's not as Li Ru expected!"The general puts his horse aside.Cao Cao went out and shouted: Rebel!Where do you want to go if you rob the emperor and relocate the people?Lü Bu scolded, saying: "You coward who betrayed the Lord, how can you speak lies!"Xiahou Dun jumped on his horse with his spear straight, and took Lu Bu straight.After the battle was over, Li Jue led an army to attack from the left, and hurriedly ordered Xia Houyuan to meet the enemy.There was another cry from the right, and Guo Si led the army to kill him, Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Cao Ren to meet the enemy.The three-way army horse is overwhelming.Xiahou Dun couldn't hold back against the enemy Lu Bu, so he returned to the formation on a flying horse.Bu led the iron cavalry to cover up the kill, and Cao's army was defeated. He looked back at Xingyang and left.Walking to the foot of a barren mountain, it was about two o'clock, and the moon was as bright as day.Just now, the remnant soldiers were gathered and they were about to bury the pot to make food, only to hear the shouts from all around, and Xu Rong's ambush was all out.Cao Cao hurriedly rode his horse and ran away. When he met Xu Rong, he turned and left.Rong took the arrow and shot it in Cao's shoulder.Cao escaped with an arrow and walked across the hillside.Two sergeants lay down in the grass. Seeing the horse coming, they fired two shots at once, and the horse was shot and fell down.Cao turned over and fell off the horse, and was captured by two soldiers.I saw a general coming on a flying horse, swung a knife and hacked to death two infantrymen, and then dismounted to rescue Cao Cao.Cao Cao regarded it as Cao Hong.Cao said, "I'm going to die here, brother, go quickly!"Hong said: "The public is in a hurry to get on the horse!"Hong would like to walk.Cao said: "If the bandits catch up, what will you do?"Hong said: "There can be no flood in the world, but there can be no justice."Cao said: "If I am born again, your strength will also be there."After getting on the horse, Hong took off his armor, dragged his knife and followed the horse.About four o'clock after walking, I saw a big river in front of me, blocking the way, and the shouting from behind was approaching.Cao said: "This is the end of my life, I can't be resurrected!"Hong hurriedly helped Cao off his horse, took off his robe and armor, and carried Cao across the water.Just after crossing the other side, the pursuers have arrived, shooting arrows across the water.Take water and go.When it was dawn, I walked for more than 30 miles and rested less under the mound.Suddenly there was a shout, a group of men and horses came, but it was Xu Rong who crossed the river from the upper stream to chase after him.When Cao was in a hurry, he saw Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan leading dozens of riders to fly there, shouting: Xu Rong is not hurting my lord!Xu Rong ran to Xiahou Dun, who came to meet him with a gun.After handing over the horses, Dun stabbed Xu Rong under the horse and killed the rest of the soldiers.Afterwards, Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Le Jin led their troops to find them; seeing Cao Cao, they were filled with sorrow and joy; they gathered more than 500 remnants and returned to Hanoi together.Zhuo Bing went to Chang'an.

But it is said that the princes divided Luoyang.Sun Jian rescued the remaining fire in the palace, stationed troops in the city, and set up tents on the foundation of Jianzhang Hall.Jian ordered the sergeant to sweep away the rubble of the palace.All the mausoleums dug by Dong Zhuo were covered up.On the foundation of the Taimiao, three palace rooms were initially created, and all the princes were invited to set up holy seats and worship them.After the sacrifice, all scattered.Jian returned to the village, where the night stars and the sun shine brightly, but he sat with his sword exposed and looked up at the astronomy.Seeing the white air in Ziweiyuan, Jian sighed and said: The emperor is unknown, the thieves and ministers are in chaos, the people are devastated⑤, and the capital is empty!When I finished speaking, I didn't feel tears.

A sergeant nearby said: "There are five colors of light coming from the well in the south of the hall."Firmly call the sergeant to light the torch and go down the well to salvage.Pick up a woman's corpse, although it has been a long time, her corpse will not rot: she is dressed like a palace, with a kit under her neck.When I took it out to see, there was a small red box inside, which was locked with a gold lock.It is a jade seal with a radius of four inches, engraved with five dragons on it;To get the seal, I asked Cheng Pu.Pu said: This is also the seal of the country.This jade is the former King Wen of Chu who saw a phoenix perched on a stone when Bianhe was under Jingshan Mountain.If you solve it, you will get jade.In the twenty-sixth year of the Qin Dynasty, Yugong was ordered to cut it into a seal, and Li Si seals the eight characters on it.In the twenty-eighth year, the first emperor visited Dongting Lake on a hunting tour. There was a strong storm, and the boat was about to capsize.In the thirty-sixth year, when the first emperor went hunting to Huayin, someone held a seal to cover the way, and said to his followers: Hold this to return the ancestor dragon ⑥.Words are over.This seal returned to Qin.Next year, the First Emperor will die.Later, Ziying presented the jade seal to Han Gaozu.Later, when Wang Mang usurped the rebellion, Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan beat Wang Xun and Su Xian with the seal, broke one corner of it, and inlaid it with gold.Guangwu obtained this treasure in Yiyang, and it has been handed down to this day.Recently, it has been heard that the ten permanent attendants rebelled, and Emperor Jie Shao went out of Beimang and lost this treasure when he returned to the palace.Today, conferring the lord must have the distinction of being on the Ninth Five-Year Plan.You can't stay here for a long time, you should return to Jiangdong as soon as possible, don't worry about big things.Jian said: Your words are exactly what I want.Tomorrow, I will return home on the excuse of illness.The discussion has been decided, and the secret order to the sergeant should not be leaked.

Whoever wants to be counted in the army is Yuan Shaoyu, who wants to use this as a way to get in, and sneaks out of the camp overnight to report to Yuan Shao.Shao rewarded him and stayed in the army secretly.The next day, Sun Jian came to bid farewell to Yuan Shao and said: "Jian has a minor illness, and wants to return to Changsha, so he came here to leave the public."Shao laughed and said: "I know the public disease: it is harmful to Chuan Guoxi'er."Jian turned pale and said: Where did this remark come from?Shao said: "Now raise troops to fight against thieves and eliminate harm for the country."The jade seal is the treasure of the imperial court, and if it is obtained by the public, it should be kept at the lord of the alliance, waiting for Dong Zhuo to be executed and returned to the imperial court.Now hide it and go away, what do you want to do?Jian said, "Why is the jade seal in my place?"Shao said: "Where is the thing in the well of Jianzhang Palace?"Jian said: "I don't have it, so how can I force you?"Shao said: Take it out quickly, so as not to cause disaster.Firmly pointing to the sky as an oath, he said: If I really get this treasure and hide it privately, I will not end well in the future, and die under the sword and arrow!All the princes said: "Wentai swears like this, there must be no such oath."Shao called the sergeant out and said: "Was there such a person when the fish was salvaged?"Jian was furious, and drew his sword, intending to kill the sergeant.Shao Yi drew his sword and said, "You are deceiving me by beheading soldiers."Behind Shao, Yan Liang and Wen Chou drew their swords out of their sheaths.Behind Jian, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang also held swords in their hands.All the princes persuaded them together.Jian Sui got on his horse, pulled out the stronghold and left Luoyang.Shao was furious, so he wrote a letter and sent his confidants to Jingzhou overnight to send it to Liu Biao, the governor, and teach him to intercept him on the way.

The next day, it was reported that Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo, fought at Xingyang, and returned in defeat.Introduce people to take them to the village, and the congregation buys wine to relieve boredom with Cao.During the banquet, Cao Cao sighed and said: I started to promote righteousness and eliminate thieves for the country.The princes came here out of righteousness, and their original intention was to annoy the people in Hanoi and approach Mengjin. , stationed in Dan, analyzed, entered Wuguan, and used three auxiliary aids ⑧; all deep trenches and high fortifications, do not fight with each other, benefit as suspicious soldiers, show the situation of the world, use obedience to punish rebellion, and can be established.If you hesitate to advance today, you will lose the hope of the world.Shame on me!Shao and the others were speechless.When Xi was scattered, Cao Cao saw that Shao and others had different intentions, but they were not expected to succeed, so they led the army to Yangzhou.Gongsun Zan referred to Xuande, Guan, and Zhang and said: Yuan Shao is incapable of doing anything, and changes are bound to happen over time.I'll wait and go.So he pulled out the stronghold and went north.To Pingyuan, let Xuande be the Prime Minister of Pingyuan, and go to defend the land to support the army.Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, asked Qiao Mao, governor of Dongjun County, for food.Mao refused to join him, so Dai led his army into Mao's camp, killed Qiao Mao, and surrendered all of them.Seeing that the people were scattered, Yuan Shao led his troops out of the stronghold, left Luoyang, and went to the Guandong.

But it is said that Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, whose name is Jingsheng, is also from Gaoping, Shanyang: he is a relative of the Han family;Those seven people?Chen Xiang from Runan, courtesy name Zhonglin; Fan Pang from the same county, courtesy name Meng Bo; Kong Yu from the State of Lu, courtesy name Shiyuan; Fan Kang from Bohai, courtesy name Zhongzhen; Shanyang Tanfu, courtesy name Wenyou; Zhang Jian from the same county, courtesy name Yuan Festival; Nanyang Cen Yan, the word Gongxiao.Liu Biao was friends with these seven men; Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue from Yanping, and Cai Mao from Xiangyang were their assistants.At that time, after reading Yuan Shao's book, he ordered Kuai Yue and Cai Mao to lead 10,000 troops to intercept Sun Jian.When Jian's army arrived, Kuai Yue spread out his formation and went out first.Sun Jian asked, "Why did Kuai Yidu lead his troops to cut me off?"Yue said: You are a minister of the Han Dynasty, how can you hide the treasures passed down to you?You can stay quickly and let you go back!Jian was furious and ordered Huang Gai to fight.Cai Mao greeted him with a sword.When the fight is over, Gai beats the shell with a whip and hits the heart mirror.Mao turned back his horse and rode away, and Sun Jian took advantage of the momentum to kill him across the boundary.Behind the mountain, the golden drums were beeping, and it was Liu Biao himself who led the army.Sun Jian saluted immediately and said, "Why did Jing Sheng believe in Yuan Shao's book and force the neighboring counties?"Biao said: "You have concealed the seal of the country, and you want to rebel against it?"Jian said: If I have this thing, I will die under the sword and arrow!The watch said: "If you want me to believe you, let me search the luggage with the army."Jian said angrily: "What strength do you have, how dare you underestimate me!"When Fang wanted to fight, Liu Biao withdrew.Jian rode his horse and rushed forward, the soldiers behind the two mountains rose together, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue came behind them, trapping Sun Jian in Gaixin.It's just that it's useless to acquire jade seals, but instead use swords because of them.After all, how Sun Jian escaped, let's listen to the breakdown below. ① Rat flees like a mouse, looking very embarrassed. ② Emperor Xing went somewhere to call Xing; used as a verb. ③ Gully waterways and valleys. ④ The name of Changle Palace, originally in Chang'an; here refers to the palace in Luoyang. ⑤ Burning charcoal is like being stuck in mud or falling into fire. ⑥ Zulong refers to Qin Shihuang. ⑦ In the Ninth Five-Year Book of Changes, Qian Gua uses the fifth line (Ninth Five-Year) to indicate the throne. ⑧ Sanfu Jingzhao, Feng Yi, and Fufeng were called Sanfu in the Han Dynasty.
