Chapter 58 Recovering the Six Seals of the Emperor! Sun Jian died in the Battle of Yangcheng!
The coalition forces of Yuan Shao and other princes from the Guandong region were also called the "Suanzao Coalition" because they were stationed in Suanzao County, Chenliu County.

The Guannan coalition forces led by Yuan Shu were also called the "Luyang Coalition Forces" because they were stationed in Luyang County, Nanyang County.

Among this Guannan coalition army, the princes who responded to Qiao Mao's forged imperial edict and went to the capital to rescue the king and clear the court were:

Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang; Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha; Kong Rong, the governor of Yuzhou; Li Min, the prefect of Yingchuan County; Xu Yan, the prime minister of Chen State; and Liu Chong, the king of Chen.

Among them, King of Chen Liu Chong and Prime Minister of Chen Xu Yan stationed troops in the State of Chen.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Wang Liu Chong was the only one among the heroes of the late Han Dynasty who stood out as a prince, and was no less important than Liu Bei, Liu Yu, Liu Biao, and Liu Yan and his son at the time.

During the Yellow Turban period, Chen State was at peace because of the protection of Chen Wang Liu Chong. When the Guandong Army rose up, Liu Chong stationed his troops in Yangxia County of Chen State and called himself the General of Assisting Han.

Unfortunately, in the original history, Liu Chong was killed by Yuan Shu because he refused to provide food to Yuan Shu, and the State of Chen was thus destroyed.

In this life, the princes responded to Qiao Mao's forged edict, and thought that they really came to Beijing to "rescue the king". Therefore, at the beginning, they were united and faced the enemy in unison. They even broke through the "Xuanyuan Pass", the first of the eight passes in Luoyang.

Sun Jian was the first to climb the mountain, not only because of his unparalleled bravery, but also because of the joint efforts of the Guannan coalition forces behind him, which created the miracle of "Xuanyuan Pass" being breached!
Unfortunately, Sun Jian was forced to retreat because Li Siye led his troops to support him.

But the Guannan coalition forces had been looking for an opportunity to fight again. They did not give up, nor did they shrink their defense line. They marched towards Yingchuan Yangcheng, which was almost just a line away from Xuanyuan Pass.

The princes of the Guannan coalition are ready to fight to the death to defend the king!

Who would have known that at this moment, the heads of Yuan Wei and other generals of the Xiliang Army were escorted by Zhang Liao and other generals from Hulao Pass in the east of the pass to Xuanyuan Pass in the south of the pass.

Commander-in-chief Qin Qiong followed suit, wanting to replicate the victory of the Battle of Guandong and defeat the princes of Guannan in one fell swoop!
The result was not surprising!
After hearing the news, the princes of Guannan gathered at the front line in Yangcheng, where the two armies faced off. When they saw with their own eyes the heads of Yuan Wei and the generals of the Xiliang Army, they finally realized that all this was a conspiracy of the Yuan family!

It was not the Xiliang army that was determined to depose and enthrone the emperor, but Yuan Wei who was behind the scenes fanning the flames. The Yuan family was the real mastermind and the culprit!
Qiao Mao's edict was not an imperial edict written by Your Majesty, but a forged edict, a disguised edict!

The truth is out!!!

This also made the princes of the Guannan coalition forces shocked and unable to believe it!
They besieged the capital, not to rescue the emperor, but to launch a heinous counterattack against the capital, which was tantamount to treason!

After the princes of the Guannan coalition woke up, they immediately questioned Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang.

Yuan Shu was still trying to hold his ground, saying that Your Majesty had been deceived by treacherous officials.

Taiwei Yang Biao led hundreds of officials to advise the emperor, but was killed by Jinyiwei and Dongchang eunuchs. The bloody incident in Chongde Hall shocked the whole country!

This is the best proof!
However, when it came to Qiao Mao's "falsified edict" and Yuan Wei's "insistence on deposing and enthroning" and other matters, Yuan Shu avoided the question.

Yuan Shu was so shameless that the princes in Guannan were really helpless!

This meeting of the Guannan princes ended in a bad mood!

However, those loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, and even Chen Wang Liu Chong, a relative of the Han Dynasty and a prince, could not swallow this humiliation!

They were clearly trying to "serve the king and save him", but in the end they became "rebels"? !

All this was because of Yuan’s conspiracy. They were like fools being played around with by the Yuan family!

Tolerable or unbearable!
And because Zhang Liao and other troops in the capital shouted, "Your Majesty will pardon those who have abandoned darkness and joined light!"

This immediately made the Guannan princes, who had been kept in the dark, have different ideas and decided to take action against Yuan Shu.

They are loyal to the Han Dynasty, not to the Yuan family!
Yuan Shu naturally understood this, so he had already formed the "Yuan Coalition". All of Yuan's disciples and former officials, Yuan's allies, and generals who were dependent on Yuan Shu were won over by him.

This force is so huge that even the Changsha governor Sun Jian is actually a general affiliated with Yuan Shu!

But Sun Jian couldn't accept it:
"I thought I was serving the country and repaying the emperor's kindness, but who knew that all this was the general's family affair! I have lived a life of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and I have no regrets, but now, how can I still live in this world with dignity?!"

"Wentai, Qiao Mao issued an imperial decree and you led your troops to respond. Although you were kept in the dark at that time, you marched all the way north and forced the governor of Jingzhou, Wang Rui, to death and killed the prefect of Nanyang, Zhang Zi. You have already cut yourself off from the world!"

Yuan Shu patiently persuaded him that Sun Jian was too important to his alliance, and Sun Wentai, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, was also a great help:
"Even if you surrender now, what does it matter? The court can pardon you, but can the world do the same? I mediated for Wen Tai in the beginning, which prevented Wen Tai from being interrogated by the court judge. You and I are actually tied together!"

Sun Jian looked struggling!

He wanted to die as an atonement, but he was unwilling to die so hastily!

Yuan Shu patted Sun Jian on the shoulder and advised:

"Wentai, the Han Dynasty is in decline and the country is in turmoil! At this critical moment, Your Majesty does not use ministers and officials, but appoints treacherous officials. The country will no longer be a country!
"How highly respected was Taiwei Yang Biao? He led all the officials to advise and remonstrate, but in the end he was thrown into the Heavenly Prison. The Jinyiwei and the eunuchs from the East Factory were treacherous and cunning. They flattered their superiors, acted tyrannically, oppressed the good, and caused bloodshed in the Chongde Hall!

"We have done nothing wrong in clearing the emperor's entourage and punishing treacherous ministers! As long as Your Majesty executes these treacherous ministers and listens to the advice of the ministers, we can bear the bruises and apologize. This is truly serving the country and the people!"

After Yuan Shu's persuasion with both emotion and reason, Sun Jian finally had no choice but to accept it!
You have no choice but to accept it!
Sun Jian and Yuan Shu are too closely tied together!

Just as Yuan Shu said, although it was understandable that he echoed Qiao Mao's forged edict, he went all the way north and forced the death of Jingzhou Governor Wang Rui and killed Nanyang Prefect Zhang Zi, which was something the world could not tolerate!

Sun Jian has already cut himself off from the aristocratic family and is despised by scholars and officials all over the world!

Fortunately, Yuan Shu intervened, otherwise Sun Jian would have been beheaded long ago. How could he have achieved what he has today?!
It was precisely because of this that Sun Jian fought bravely and shed blood, hoping to wash away his own "stain" by demonstrating his merit of "serving the king and saving him."

But unexpectedly, even the "saving the king" was fake, and his "stain" would be infinitely magnified!
In the end, the only option left was to surrender to Yuan Shu!
...

After Yuan Shu pacified Sun Jian, he immediately made all necessary preparations as he had already received intelligence from the spies.

Yuzhou Governor Kong Rong, Prince of Chen Liu Chong and other princes held a secret meeting and tried to take action against him, wanting to capture and kill Yuan Shu in order to obtain His Majesty's pardon.

But Yuan Shu didn't care, and even secretly fanned the flames, trying to stir up civil strife among the princes south of the Guanzhong area!
This is to create an opportunity for Yang Hong and Murong Long, who are escorting the seal back, to escape!

Xuanyuan Pass is located between Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain, and is the first of the eight passes in Luoyang. The cliffs on both sides are rugged, the mountains are majestic and dangerous, and the roads are winding. It has always been a place of contention for military strategists.

This is a dangerous pass where one man can block ten thousand men from opening it. Now there is a brave general like Li Siye leading his troops there. Now Zhang Liao is leading his troops to escort the heads of Yuan Wei and other generals of the Xiliang Army here.

Xuanyuan Pass has formed an iron wall formation!
Yang Hong and Murong Long went south with the seal. Yuan Shu had to create chaos outside so that he could take advantage of the chaos to leave.

This was also designed by Yuan Shu's advisers.

——Provoke a civil war among the princes south of the pass, feign defeat to show weakness to the enemy, lure the commander of Xuanyuan Pass to attack, and create an opportunity for Yang Hong and Murong Long to leave the pass!
Therefore, Yuan Shu was not afraid of the civil strife among the princes south of the Guanzhong Pass at all, and even looked forward to it.

During this wait, Yang Hong received a pigeon message saying that they had arrived near Xuanyuan Pass.

Both sides can attack at the same time!
But at this time, those loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty among the princes south of the Guanzhong Pass were still plotting. Yuan Shu could not wait any longer and decided to take the initiative!
After all, it concerns the six seals of the emperor and the imperial seal!
"Do it!!!"

Yuan Shu issued an order and took the initiative to take action against Yuzhou Governor Kong Rong, Chen Wang Liu Chong and other princes.

"Yuan Shu, you bastard, you really can't sit still anymore!"

A civil war immediately broke out among the princes south of the Guanzhong Pass. In Yangcheng, just outside the Xuanyuan Pass, the allied coalition forces suddenly turned into enemy forces!
"kill!--"

During the battle between the two armies, Yuan Shu's army pretended to be defeated, showing weakness to the enemy, and pretending to be retreating step by step, in an attempt to lure the Xuanyuan Pass defenders into battle.

...

Xuanyuan Pass.

"Report - Yuan Shu's army took the initiative to provoke a war, the princes of Guannan fought each other, the two armies fought fiercely, and Yuan Shu's army was defeated!"

The military movements of the coalition forces of the princes in Guannan naturally could not be concealed from the generals of Xuanyuan Pass, and soon spies presented the intelligence one after another.

"Yuan Shu took the initiative to attack? But he was defeated in the end?"

From the military dynamics, Zhang Liao smelled a conspiracy.

Among the princes south of the Guanzhong area, more than half were Yuan Shu’s allies, and the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, Sun Wentai, was even more dependent on Yuan Shu.

Moreover, the Guannan coalition forces have Nanyang at their backs and are adjacent to Runan, which is the Yuan family's old nest and the strategic area of ​​Nanyang prefect Yuan Shu.

Active attack and still defeated? !

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
"Do you need me to lead the troops to join the battlefield?"

Li Siye looked at Zhang Liao and asked, "Kill him while he's still sick! Kill these traitors without mercy!!!"

"and many more!"

Zhang Liao was still somewhat worried and continued to order his scouts to gather intelligence.

Let's see whether it was because Yuan Shu was too arrogant, so he took the initiative to attack and was defeated in the end. Or maybe it was Yuan Shu's strategy to show weakness to the enemy and lure them to attack.

Li Siye sharpened his knife, but did not attack rashly!
"Cuckoo-"

At this time, a letter from the capital was delivered to Xuanyuan Pass by carrier pigeon.

Although homing pigeons are expensive to tame, and there is a saying that "one pigeon is worth a thousand gold coins", Liu Bian, as the ruler of the Han Dynasty, would not be so poor as to spend money on information transmission.

Zhang Liao opened the wax seal and deciphered it using their special code - this was to prevent the pigeon message from being intercepted and used by others.

"It's a fraud!!!"

In this secret letter, the Embroidered Uniform Guard briefly informed the public of the turmoil in the capital, their pursuit of the whereabouts of the imperial seal, and the enemy's final retreat.

Zhang Liao was also a brave and resourceful man. He pieced together the fragments of intelligence and immediately made a conclusion based on the abnormal behavior of Yuan Shu's army.

"It seems that they are transporting the seal southward and preparing to leave through Xuanyuan Pass!"

As Zhang Liao was talking, he suddenly shook his head and said:
"Not necessarily! What if this is just a trick? They deliberately mobilized a large army to go south for war, but in the end they turned their guns around and went out from Guandong! No one can guarantee the whereabouts of the seal unless they see it!"

"..."

Li Siye asked, "Can you be more direct? Do you want me to send out troops to lure the enemy into an attack?"

"it is good!"

Zhang Liao thought for a moment and said, "You lead your troops to join the battle immediately. Only when Xuanyuan Pass is empty of troops will the enemy have an opportunity to take advantage!"

Upon hearing this, Li Siye immediately led the Modao team into battle.

Yuan Shu's army was originally pretending to be defeated, but with Li Siye's participation in the battle, the pretend defeat may turn into a real defeat!
The Mo Dao team is really too crazy!!!
These people were all strong men who were over two meters tall, with broad shoulders and thick waists, and a sturdy build. They held Mo Dao, which was over two meters high. With one strike of the sword, they could separate men and horses, and no one could stop them!
If this continues, the "feigned defeat" will turn into a "complete defeat"!

Yuan Shu's army had no choice but to let Sun Jian, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, join the battle, trying to turn the tide of the war with the help of this fierce general!

Sun Jian led the elite troops of Huai and Si to fight against Li Siye's Modao troops!
turn out--

Sun Wentai, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, died in the battle of Yangcheng!!!

At that time, even Lu Bu, the most powerful general in the world, who commanded the armored cavalry "Bingzhou Wolf Riders", was almost wiped out by the Modao team led by Li Siye!

Although Sun Jian was a fierce tiger from Jiangdong, he was only at the top level at best. The elite soldiers from Huaisi under his command were not as good as the elite Modao troops of the Tang Dynasty in terms of strength, power, and equipment!
When Sun Jian was the first to break through Xuanyuan Pass, Li Siye led the Modao team to seize the pass and ignored Sun Jian and the elite soldiers from Huaisi, which allowed them to escape!
Now I kill with all my heart, kill anyone who stands in my way, kill Buddha if he stands in my way!
The fierce tiger of Jiangdong died here!

A brave and skilled general has fallen!!!
Li Siye fought bloody battles, his body and face were all covered in blood, and his nose was filled with the smell of blood, like a killer. After drinking the blood, he became even crazier:
"What conspiracy?! What show of weakness?! Kill them all! Anyone who does anything that disobeys the king's orders or goes against the will of the emperor will be killed!"

"Zap, chop, chop!!!"

More than 2,000 Modao troops killed each one with their swords like chopping melons and vegetables. While fighting bloody battles, they also roared with murderous intent.

Yuan Shu's coalition forces were immediately defeated!!!
"how so?!"

Yuan Shu, protected by his civil and military officials, rode his horse and fled the battlefield first, fearing that he would be unable to escape if he was a step slower. He looked back at the battlefield that was like hell on earth, unable to believe it and unable to accept it:

"It was clearly just a feint, how did it turn into a real defeat?! What should I do with my seal?!"

But the situation is not optimistic!
Between the seal and his life, Yuan Shu decisively chose the latter!
But Li Siye followed closely behind, chasing him madly. In his eyes, there was no such thing as a tactic of not chasing after a desperate enemy, only whether he could catch up or not!

"Fuck mad dogs!!! A bunch of mad dogs!!!"

Yuan Shu was frightened by Li Siye's madness, and fled in panic, his army was completely routed!
This shocked the Guannan princes!!!

The loyal officials of the Han Dynasty were actually somewhat suspicious. With such a brave and powerful general and a group of killer Mo Dao troops, Your Majesty, why did Dong Zhuo take over the capital? !

Is it...

Was this a deliberate attempt to show weakness to the enemy, lure them out, and lure out the mastermind behind this, Yuan Wei? !
Yes!

That must be it!

Otherwise it can't be explained at all!

With Li Siye and the Modao Army, Qin Qiong and the Black Armor Army, Cao Zhengchun, the four commanders and other factory guards, these die-hard troops, can Your Majesty still be placed under house arrest in the palace?! Be deposed and enthroned?!
really!

The emperor’s heart is unpredictable!
...

On the Wanluo official road.

After Li Siye led the Modao Team to join the battle, the military strength at Xuanyuan Pass suddenly decreased, and the flag with the word "Li" hanging on the wall also disappeared with the battle.

"Li Siye led the Modao team to join the battle! But Zhang Liao is still guarding Xuanyuan Pass!" The scout quickly reported back, bringing important military intelligence and battle news.

"Can we make a move now?"

Murong Long asked.

But Yang Hong shook his head and said:

"It's still a bit risky, but wealth and honor come with risk, and nothing can be foolproof. With the lord's support outside, we can take advantage of the chaos to strike. But we also need to be prepared to be discovered, and then we can attack directly!"

"I understand!"

At this time, Yang Hong and Murong Long's team, who had been wandering on the official road far away from Xuanyuan Pass and conducting reconnaissance through scouts, finally decided to take action.

They hoped to enter Xuanyuan Pass on the pretext of escorting grain and fodder for the capital.

"Finally they took the bait!!!" Zhang Liao knew that this army might have the six imperial seals and the imperial seal. But it was also possible that they didn't. No matter what, he couldn't alert the enemy. He had to lure them into the trap first and then catch them.

Zhang Liao did not let them enter the pass immediately, but instead ordered them to camp at a checkpoint behind Xuanyuan Pass. They needed to check to prevent enemy spies from sneaking in. This kind of vigilance could actually convince the enemy!

Psychological tactic of retreating to advance!

Zhang Liao was so cautious that Yang Hong and Murong Long felt that they had not been exposed.

If Zhang Liao allowed them to enter the pass directly, they would start to suspect there was something fishy going on.

During the inspection, Murong Long, who was disguised as "Wang Fang", was not discovered. Relying on the pass token and the imperial edict, he did not seem to arouse anyone's suspicion.

"Zhang Liao has seen Wang Fang's appearance. If he meets Zhang Liao, he will definitely be suspicious! You should just attack him with lightning speed!

"If we can capture and kill him, that would be great. If not, our army will create chaos and you can escape with the seal."

Yang Hong has been making plans all the time. The more critical the moment, the more he must not underestimate the enemy and must be careful.

Murong Long nodded.

The "you" that Yang Hong mentioned are all the heroes in the martial arts world except Murong Long!

There are hundreds or nearly a thousand people.

When Yuan Shu was young, he was a chivalrous man who loved to fight for justice. Therefore, he met many heroes and heroes from all walks of life in the world.

When the seal was transported to the capital this time, many people from all walks of life came to help.

Don't underestimate these people. They have been practicing martial arts since childhood, are loyal, and would go through fire and water for their brothers. They are a force that cannot be underestimated!

Moreover, these forces are spread across all states, counties, and industries across the country.

Involving the canal transportation, casinos, brothels, pawnshops and other links, they have people in charge, key middle and senior cores, and grassroots.

This formed a network of relationships for Yuan Shu from all over the world!
Perhaps these people are not strong enough to face the army.

But because of their strong martial arts, they can create a lot of trouble, and even deliver a fatal blow at the critical moment!
For example, Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, Nie Zheng's assassination of Xia Lei, Zhuan Zhu's assassination of Wang Liao, etc., were all actions of heroes and knights from the rivers and lakes to assassinate kings, princes and generals of the court.

Even in the future history of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Ce died at the hands of Xu Gong's three followers.

It can be seen that the heroes of the world are also a force that cannot be underestimated!

The Yuan family planned to occupy the whole world. Yuan Shao made friends with the upper class, while Yuan Shu also secretly made friends with heroes in the martial arts world.

This is why the miracle of stealing the "seal" is possible!

But at this moment, a messenger suddenly arrived:

"The Guannan coalition is in a civil war, and the situation is stalemate. General Zhang is about to lead his troops to join the battle. We have decided to pursue the victory. Don't act rashly. Wait until after the war to enter the pass to avoid spies sneaking in!"

"promise!!!"

The checkpoint guard immediately received the order.

The messenger retreated in a hurry again. Yang Hong and Murong Long looked at each other, feeling a little surprised!
God really helps me!!!

"The lord must have feigned defeat to show the enemy his weakness, so that Zhang Liao and other generals could see the hope of pursuing the victory, and that's why they decided to increase the offensive."

Yang Hong made a guess and said immediately: "Let's wait for a moment and then attack the pass directly. There is no need to fight to the bitter end. As long as we can get past Xuanyuan Pass, we will be successful!"

Murong Long nodded and said, "I'll go and gather the brothers!"

"it is good!!!"

They had been silently calculating the time, and after seeing the "Zhang" flag on the top of the city wall indicating joining the battle from afar, they waited for a moment and decided to take action directly.

"kill!--"

They attacked and killed the guard of the checkpoint, and then headed directly towards Xuanyuan Pass.

Any checkpoint is an iron wall to the outside, but it appears relatively weak to the inside.

This is why there is a saying that “all dangerous passes are breached from within” or “all fortresses are breached from within”.

Yang Hong and Murong Long's army had more than 2,000 soldiers, more than half of whom were disguised as civilians escorting food and fodder. However, they were all martial arts masters and heroes of the countryside. They suddenly launched an attack and directly attacked Xuanyuan Pass.

Victory was so within reach that Yang Hong, Murong Long and others didn't even notice it. They were making such a smooth progress in their efforts!
It seems that Xuanyuan Pass is unmanned and completely unguarded!
Such is human nature!
Victory is in sight, just like the dawn light that breaks through the darkness, which will make people intoxicated in the brilliant colors of that moment and feel relaxed!
Yang Hong and others smiled!
However! ! !
When they entered the city wall, before they could go any further, they were surrounded from above by Zhang Liao's army!
The smile of victory came to an abrupt end!

It feels like after going through so much hardship, just when you think you see the dawn of hope, you end up facing the abyss of despair!
"trap!!!"

“We’ve fallen into a trap!!!”

"Are you going to call for help when the wind blows?!!!"

Murong Long and other heroes of the martial arts world woke up in shock and were immediately horrified!
But at this time, Yang Hong quickly woke up from his shock and shouted: "The Lord is outside to support us, don't panic! Kill!!!"

After all, he was a warrior with great martial arts skills. After hearing the words, he quickly woke up and wanted to fight his way out.

"Shoot the arrow!!!"

Zhang Liao just gave the order in a cold and solemn manner, and there was even some pity in his eyes.

Yuan Shu pretended to be defeated, but after Li Siye led the Modao team to join the battle, he was defeated. Even Sun Wentai, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, died in this battle!

Zhang Liao actually doesn't need to participate in the battle, but he needs to lure the enemy to attack!
Therefore, they pretended to be messengers to spread the news of his joining the war, and even took away the flags on the city wall. This was all to confuse the enemy and encourage them to take action!
Sure enough, the enemy was fooled!

"Shhhhh-"

The dense rain of arrows swept down, causing heavy casualties to Murong Long and other heroes in the martial arts world!

Bows were banned in all dynasties, but crossbows were not, because crossbow arrows were highly lethal and could easily penetrate armor.

In the military, it is a standard weapon!
Even a martial arts hero with great skills would feel deeply powerless under the suppression of crossbow fire!

They put up a desperate fight, but there was no military intelligence from the front about Yuan Shu's attack.

Yang Hong hid behind, feeling uneasy: "My lord, you should have attacked at the same time, why didn't you pin down the Xuanyuan Pass defenders?"

Seeing his own side being defeated and suffering heavy casualties, Yang Hong ordered: "Let's retreat first!!! Retreat to the Wanluo official road!!!"

The team returned empty-handed, but left behind hundreds of corpses!

This was bound to be a blow to the morale of the army. Yang Hong could only yell:
"Don't worry, everyone. The lord is holding us back outside. As long as we hold on, we can definitely make the soldiers of Xuanyuan Pass lose sight of the big picture!"

This did indeed stabilize the morale of the army, but it was not a long-term solution. Even though these people were heroes, loyal and face-conscious, they were all a little discouraged at this time!
House seemingly endless rain!

Li Siye led his army back in triumph. His Modao team killed everyone who stood in their way.

But after all, they had two legs and could not outrun Yuan Shu's army on horseback. Therefore, after chasing them for several miles, they decisively withdrew their defense while they were ahead!
Although Li Siye was "brave and reckless", he was not "reckless"!
The ultimate goal of this battle is not only to defeat the enemy, but more importantly to recover the six seals of the emperor and the imperial seal!
After a bloody battle, Li Siye said murderously: "If you disobey the king's orders and disobey the emperor's will, you will be killed without mercy!!!"

"Kill without mercy!!!"

More than two thousand Modao soldiers had just drunk blood, their bodies were covered with blood, and they roared with murderous intent, which was really terrifying!
Shock the enemy's morale!!!

At this time, Zhang Liao ordered his men to hold up Sun Jian's head and shouted:

"Sun Jian, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, died in battle, and Yuan Shu's army was defeated! Do you still want to continue to resist?! Hand over the seal and I will spare your life!!!"

"Wow—"

This time, even the heroes of the world and the brave men could not hold on any longer.

After hearing this, Yang Hong's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said to Murong Long in a deep voice:

"You must take the seal and flee from here immediately. Try to hide. Wait until the storm has passed, then find an opportunity to leave the capital!"

"Military Advisor, what should you do?!" Murong Long asked.

"I'll stay as bait!"

Yang Hong said in a deep voice: "It is impossible to take away all the six seals of the emperor and the imperial seal. We must leave some behind as bait. We should choose the lesser of two evils. The imperial seal is more important, so I will entrust it to you!"

"I see!"

Murong Long did not act pretentiously, and the two sides exchanged blows behind cover.

Immediately, dozens or even hundreds of heroes, each carrying a box as a decoy, fled in different directions, including Murong Long.

Seeing that the enemy was about to catch up with him, Yang Hong simply opened a box, and suddenly a light burst out!

Inside are the six seals of the Son of Heaven - the Emperor's Travel Seal, the Emperor's Seal of Respect, the Emperor's Seal of Letter, the Emperor's Travel Seal, the Emperor's Seal of Respect, and the Emperor's Seal of Letter!
This light was so dazzling that it was hard to see clearly! But the true dragon aura it conveyed gave people a sense of supreme imperial power and pressure!

They didn’t know if it was an illusion, but they seemed to feel that there was a real dragon roaring and soaring, making everyone present want to surrender involuntarily!

Just when everyone wanted to pay homage, Yang Hong immediately closed the box!

Xuanyuan Pass was close to the cliff. Yang Hong ran to the edge of the cliff and shouted, "The Imperial Seal and the Six Seals of the Emperor are here. Don't act rashly, or I will throw you off the cliff!!!"

"stop!!!"

Zhang Liao suddenly became anxious and ordered his subordinates not to act rashly, but he still led his troops to surround them.

"Recall the pursuers!"

Yang Hong said again.

After thinking about it, Zhang Liao directly ordered the pursuit troops to be recalled and allowed Murong Long and others to leave.

At this time, Yang Hong finally felt relieved!
"Yang Hong, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. The seal concerns the state system. Don't be stubborn! Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your family!"

Zhang Liao advised.

Yang Hong had a determined look on his face. Ever since he followed Yuan Shu, there was no turning back.

It’s hard to get off the tiger!
The two sides are in a stalemate, but in fact, Yang Hong is just stalling for time!
Zhang Liao looked anxious and kept trying to attract Yang Hong's attention, giving Li Siye and other generals a chance to launch a surprise attack!

However, just when they were about to take action, Yang Hong jumped off the cliff with a smile on his face!
"It would be nice if the seal could be buried with me! This is the first time in history, right?! Hahaha——"

Yang Hong jumped off the cliff while laughing.

The reason why he brought the seal with him was to delay the speed of Zhang Liao and other generals, making them think that the imperial seal and the six seals of the emperor had fallen off the cliff with him.

Then they spent all their energy searching to create time and opportunities for Murong Long and others to escape.

Even if Zhang Liao found the seal later, he would only find the six seals of the emperor, and the imperial seal had already disappeared.

This is his last resort!

"Damn!!!"

Zhang Liao and others immediately chased to the edge of the cliff.

Looking at Yang Hong who jumped off the cliff, and the box containing the imperial seal and the six seals of the emperor, he was furious. At the same time, he felt guilty towards the emperor for the loss of the seals, and was a little panicked!
They failed to complete the mission in the end and failed right under their noses!
Incompetent!!!
"Rumble--"

But at this time, the Jinyiwei came riding their horses. While they were still galloping, Zhuque had already jumped up, dodged and reached the edge of the cliff first.

"Wow--"

Zhuque just waved his hand and a big net was cast down, catching Yang Hong and the box containing the six seals of the emperor in the net.

"this--"

Zhang Liao and other generals were stunned!

They knew that the four great commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard all had their own special powers - among them, the commander Suzaku had excellent lightness skills, could fly in the air, and was good at using hidden weapons.

Seeing is worth hearing a hundred times!
I finally got to see it today!

"Help me!"

The light voice of Zhuque startled Zhang Liao and other generals, who immediately came over to pull Yang Hong up.

Yang Hong was also a little shocked!
He wanted to struggle, but found that the net contracted more and more the more he struggled, and finally tied him up!

They controlled Yang Hong and immediately opened the box——

The light once again shone between heaven and earth, making them involuntarily want to surrender and worship!
But when the light faded, they only saw the "Six Seals of the Son of Heaven"!
"The Imperial Seal is not here!!!"

Zhang Liao was horrified and said in a deep voice: "He must have been taken away by those ruffians!!!"

"Chase!!!"

Zhuque frowned, and the joy of getting the seal back just now gradually cooled down.

The six seals of the emperor are important, but the imperial seal is even more important!
The obverse of the imperial seal is engraved with eight seal characters "Mandate from Heaven, May you live long and prosper forever" as a token of the "imperial power is granted by Heaven and is legitimate and orthodox."

This is destiny!!!
