Seeing that Zhao Yang had agreed to leave the mountain, Cao Cao was happy. The other generals were also happy. They felt that with Zhao Yang here, everyone felt at ease.
"From today onwards, Sir is my chief military advisor. His words are my words. When I'm no longer around, the military advisor can make decisions for me and have the right to act first before reporting!”
Cao Cao announced loudly, and the surrounding soldiers cheered again.
" Military Advisor," Cao Cao looked at the rest of them and leaned closer." What should we do now?" Continue to pursue Dong Zhuo?"
Zhao Yang glanced at him and smiled.""My lord, you're not honest. You already have an idea in your heart, and you still ask me?”
Cao Cao immediately smiled awkwardly." Even Advisor Jun has seen through this…Advisor Jun, we are family now. I will tell you the truth!" Look, we've been chasing after them all the way here and have contributed to the country. We've killed many Western Liang cavalrymen and are much stronger than those dukes! If they continued to pursue, there might be an ambush ahead. If they were careless and fell into a trap, wouldn't they suffer a huge loss?”
Zhao Yang smiled." Most importantly, my lord has earned quite a bit of reputation. Your reputation has already surpassed Yuan Shao and the others. Moreover, as those people from the big families return, your reputation will only grow bigger. The purpose of this trip has been achieved, right?”
Cao Cao immediately gave him a thumbs up. That's right, although it sounds shameless, I'll be honest. That's what I think! Advisor Jun, you can't be looking down on me, right?”
Zhao Yang waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind at all.""My lord, you have an extraordinary vision. Although I can't say it explicitly, everyone knows that there's no problem with this! Thinking about Yuan Shao and the others, they were afraid to fight. They wanted to get benefits but were afraid to pay. This was stupid. This was what people looked down on! Since my lord is open and honest, then I won't pretend anymore. My lord, we can retreat!”
Cao Cao was overjoyed.”
When the army retreated,
Cao Cao suddenly thought of a question."Military Advisor, Military Advisor is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong. He is fierce and brave in battle. In the past, he even killed the governor of Jingzhou and the governor of Nanyang! But why did he really give the soldiers to Teacher when he asked for them?”
Zhao Yang immediately laughed. To tell you the truth, I once saw an extraordinary scene in the direction of the Imperial Palace. There should be a heirloom seal left there!”
"Imperial Jade Seal!" Cao Cao's breathing became labored." Sir, where is that thing? I'll immediately send someone to look for him!"
"Too late, Sun Jian has already taken it! After he got the jade seal, he couldn't wait to return to Jiangdong, wanting to find an opportunity to rise up and arrogate to the throne. If not for this, would he have easily given me those ten thousand elite soldiers?”
"Oh, no wonder this guy handed over the soldiers so easily. So this is the reason!”Cao Cao was enlightened, but he immediately looked pained,""Advisor Jun, that's the heirloom seal. Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had said it earlier, I would have killed Sun Jian and taken that jade seal!”
Zhao Yang snorted." I knew you would do this, so I didn't say anything!"”
"What? Don't you want me to get the jade seal?”Cao Cao was confused.
"Of course not!" Zhao Yang nodded. This heirloom seal was extremely famous and had a great connection! Without a great foundation, it would be difficult to control this item! The lord may seem mighty now, and his troops far exceed those of the various dukes. However, once you take this thing, it will definitely attract the covetous eyes of various factions! The two brothers, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, had always been arrogant and domineering. They regarded the world as their own. If they knew that the jade seal was here, they would definitely mobilize all forces to think of a way to take it away!”
"Can the Yuan family still order their students and old officials around?”Cao Cao felt that the Yuan Clan had already fallen and did not have much influence.
"The Yuan Family might not be able to do it, but putting aside the Yuan Brothers, other people would also want to snatch the jade seal if they knew we had it! Whoever took the jade seal would be the public enemy! Now that he had the jade seal, that thing was a lethal weapon!”
Cao Cao came to his senses, but there was still some regret on his face.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Yang made another prediction,""I'm sure that Sun Jian has already been exposed by someone. He might hide here and there, but he won't be able to escape death!”
"It's that terrifying?" Cao Cao was shocked.
"You don't believe me? Just wait and see. The outcome would be revealed soon.”
Cao Cao didn't want to disturb the people in Luoyang, and he wanted to guard Tiger Prison as a basis for his advance and retreat. Because he had received a lot of supplies from Dong Zhuo, his pace was slow.
When they arrived at Tiger Cage, Cao Ren immediately ran over excitedly.""Quick, come and watch the show! Guan Xiaqui was acting. It was so good to watch!”
Cao Cao was puzzled and waited for everyone to go up. When he looked down, he immediately exclaimed,"Isn't that Sun Jian? Why are you surrounded?"
Cao Ren immediately chuckled." I heard that Sun Jian obtained the Imperial Jade Seal in Luoyang. He took a few generals and was about to rush back to Jiangdong. In the end, he had Yuan Shao's fellow countrymen under his command. As soon as he arrived here, the kung fu that the vassals gave Sun Jian was reported.”
Cao Cao immediately looked at Zhao Yang and gave him a thumbs up.""Advisor Jun, you're right! Could it be that this ferocious tiger of River East was going to be beaten to death in the pass today?”
"How is that possible?" Zhao Yang shook his head. None of the dukes had seen it with their own eyes, so how could they dare to force him? No matter what, Sun Jian was one of the vassals who wanted to get rid of Dong Zhu, and he was the only one with more merits among the vassals other than us. If anyone dared to kill him because of a secret, they would be condemned by the world and lose the hearts of the people!”
The dukes below were already quarreling.
"My fellow countrymen saw you open the treasure box and take out the jade seal. You still want to deny it?"”
"My subordinates are all loyal to me, why would they accuse me?" I don't believe it unless you pull him out and let me see if he's one of my people!”
As expected, Yuan Shao pointed out the informant. Sun Jian went over and smiled sinisterly."I've treated you well, but you're framing me like this? He deserves to be killed!"
Sun Jian had beheaded this person with a single strike. He did not follow the rules at all!
At this moment, Yuan Shao remembered that Sun Jian had dared to kill the Jingzhou governor and Nanyang prefect, let alone a small soldier!
"Sun Jian, you must have killed him out of guilt! If you don't hand over the Imperial Jade Seal today, don't even think about leaving!”Yuan Shao threatened loudly.
"Didn't you say that I don't have the jade seal? Even if I do, why should I give it to you? First, he had no soldiers and second, he had no food. He was the leader of the alliance and had been defeated repeatedly. Are you worthy?"
Yuan Shao immediately flew into a rage.”
Sun Jian's generals immediately raised their weapons, their eyes filled with ferocity.
Sun Jian himself roared,"I'll see who dares!"”
