Chapter 60

Yuan Shao was very annoyed when he saw that the other Warlords didn't want to offend Sun Jian, but there was nothing he could do.

In desperation, Yuan Shao brought Sun Jian's subordinate who had reported to him and asked:

"Wentai, this person is the witness when you get it."

Sun Jian was furious when he saw that person, it was this person who leaked the secret.

So he drew his sword and prepared to kill in order to vent his anger.

Not to be outdone, Yuan Shao also drew his sword and said loudly, "Wentai, you won't kill this person. How dare you lie to me!"

Behind Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and the other generals drew their swords as well.

The generals behind Yuan Shao also drew their swords.

Right now, things were getting very tense.

Yuan Shu frowned and said: "Wentai apparently does have the Emperor's Jade Seal. Currently, we are all fellow Warlords who have gathered to fight against Dong Zhuo. If it's true that Wentai brought the Emperor's Jade Seal, what would the world say about all of this?"

Sun Jian laughed furiously, drew his sword to the ground, and said, "I put myself in danger during battle, firstly to eliminate the villain Dong Zhuo for the Han Empire, and secondly to avenge the deaths of your family members. I have no personal grudge against Dong Zhuo. Yet you believe slanderous talks and suspect me!"

After saying this, Sun Jian was very emotional, he pointed to the sky with his sword and swore:

"I, Sun Jian swear in front of everyone today that, Should I hid the treasure, I shall die miserably under arrows!"

Sun Jian made a sacred vow, and even the other Warlords started to believe that Sun Jian actually did not have the Emperor's Jade Seal.

People in this era are still superstitious.

Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to casually make such a sacred vow.

Even the confidant behind Sun Jian was a little moved.

All the Warlords coaxed together: "Leader, Wentai is so bold to make this sacred oath, it seems that he does not have the Emperor's Jade Seal, why not just let Wentai return to recuperate."

Sun Jian took a sacred oath, and the other Warlords did not want to be on the side of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao had no choice but to let Sun Jian leave.

Yuan Shao actually did not want to clash with the fierce tiger Sun Jian in public.

Otherwise, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, might not be able to deal with it.

After Sun Jian left, the Alliance Warlords began to discuss.

The war between the Warlords against Dong Zhuo had already progressed to this point. Although it didn't work out in the end, all of the Warlords had gained something, at least they had obtained the justification of righteousness.

Dong Zhuo couldn't mess anything up anymore. The matter has been resolved, they will soon return to their respective realm and enjoy their harvest.

But no one dared to leave, everyone was embarrassed to leave first.

Yuan Shao angrily returned to his military tent, the more he thought about it, the more furious he became.

Seeing Sun Jian's actions, Yuan Shao believed that the Emperor's Jade Seal was really taken away by Sun Jian.

From Yuan Shao's point of view, he was the leader of the alliance, so Yuan Shao should be the one who had the Emperor's Jade Seal!

But the Warlords, all afraid of the might of the fierce tiger Sun Jian. It's a shame that he only has a few people to speak for him!

Yuan Shao's advisor, Xu You, looked at Yuan Shao who was frowning from the side, smiled, and said, "Master Yuan, this matter is very trivial, Master Yuan needn't be too worried!"

As soon as Yuan Shao saw Xu You, he quickly asked, "Ziyuan, what strategy do you have to solve my problem?"

Xu, You smiled and said: "The Emperor's Jade Seal is not a trivial matter. Sun Jian is just a prefect of a region, but he dared to steal the Jade Seal.

I think Master Yuan just needs to send someone to inform Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, that Sun Jian has obtained the Emperor's Jade Seal. How could Liu Biao, as a clan of the Han, allow outsiders to get hold of the Empire's treasures?

From what I see, Liu Biao will turn against Sun Jian, and at that time he will be able to dispel Master Yuan's grievances!"

Yuan Shao was pleased when he heard that, and shouted: "Ziyuan's plan is very good! Act according to this plan, and Ziyuan can send someone to inform Liu Biao as soon as possible!"

Looking at history, Yuan Shao's plan did come true.

The governor of Jingzhou dispatched troops to intercept Sun Jian.

Because of this, Sun Jian and Liu Biao had a deep feud.

Three years later, Sun Jian, the hero of a generation, died under his sacred oath before his ambition was fulfilled, and was shot by Huang Zu's subordinate right in his heart.

…

Han Yu walked slowly along the road, chatting with Diao Chan and Cai Yan from time to time, making him extremely happy.

Especially, Cai Yan, was still a little worried when she followed Han Yu.

However, with a beautiful woman like Diao Chan accompanying her, Cai Yan's heart was relieved little by little.

Since Han Yu had brought her back to Luoyang, then to Jizhou later, her marriage contract was soon bound to fail, so what was the point of her worrying about this?

Along the way, Han Yu comforted her, and would often tell her some stories she had never heard of, which made Cai Yan's heart slowly lighten up.

Even though Cai Yan had always restrained herself, after all, she was also just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

Even if she was known as a talented woman, she had no experience in love.

When Han Yu and his entourage arrived in Luoyang, the scouts came to report.

"Young Master, I heard that Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, found the Emperor's Jade Seal in Luoyang, and hid it personally. He almost fell out with the alliance leader because of this, which led to him taking a sacred vow and successfully returning to Changsha."

Han Yu nodded, Sun Jian was indeed able to live up to his expectations, and still found the Emperor's Jade Seal.

As a result, the entire South, Liu Biao, the Sun family, and then later Yuan Shu would be in trouble due to the Emperor's Jade Seal.

The more chaotic the situation in the south, the better it would be for Han Yu.

Han Yu nodded and said, "Because of Sun Jian, I'm afraid all the Warlords will decide to leave. It seems that the Alliance against Dong Zhuo will soon disband."

At the side, Ju Shou and the others nodded upon hearing those words, agreeing with Han Yu's point of view.

Han Yu asked again, "By the way, how did Cao Cao's side turn out?"

"Cao Cao led his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo and traveled to the Xingyang region, where he was ambushed by prefects Xu Rong. Cao Cao was then defeated and his army suffered heavy losses.

Cao Cao even got hit by an arrow in his arm. Fortunately, his subordinate Cao Hong desperately guarded him and managed to save his life. Now I don't know where he went."

Han Yu knew that the pursuit of Cao Cao would definitely fail, and thought that in order to gain fame, Cao Cao would have to pretend first, and then come back.

But I didn't think Cao Cao would be defeated so badly. I am afraid that he will be ridiculed by the Warlords this time.

And from Cao Cao's defeat, he would naturally blamed other warlords. When Cao Cao leaves, the alliance will completely disband.

Thinking of this, Han Yu asked his subordinates to speed up to return to Luoyang.
