In fact, if all the eighteen princes were chasing them at this time, Dong Zhuo's army would be surrounded by the people and have countless wealth, and the marching speed was not fast, so they would definitely be able to catch up.

If the city walls are lost and the battles are encountered in the wild, the coalition forces will definitely be able to kill Dong Zhuo.

However, in this case, the eighteen princes will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and this situation is something that all princes do not want to see.

Therefore, other princes were unwilling to chase after him.

Now, what they want to do most is actually going to the palace to see if there is any wealth that Dong Zhuo has not taken away.

Only Cao Cao chased and killed the eighteen princes.

...

And Lu Bu was not not chasing, but Lu Bu knew very well that Dong Zhuo set up an ambush on the road.

If you chase after it now, you will definitely have to fight a tough battle.

If that's the case, let Cao Cao fight.

Lu Bu decided to take a day off and wait for him to chase him tomorrow.

Anyway, Dong Zhuo has so many people and supplies, even if he wants to run, he can't run fast.

Furthermore, the reason why Lu Bu wanted to stay was because Lu Bu also wanted to see if he could find something in the palace.

Such things were obtained by Sun Jian in the original historical trajectory.

Now that Sun Jian and Sun Ce have been killed by themselves, I don’t know whose hands this thing will fall into.

Lu Bu still hopes that he can fall into his hands.

With such a thing, it will be of great use in the future.

Such things are of course the imperial seal.

After entering the palace, the other sixteen princes flipped around the palace.

However, to their extreme disappointment, Dong Zhuo's plundering was even cleaner than a dog's chew.

Everything except the palace was not taken away.

Lu Bu ordered his soldiers to secretly pay attention to all the situations in the wells in the palace.

Because according to later records, Sun Jian obtained the jade seal in the well when he first obtained it.

...

In the evening, soldiers came to report that they found a palace maid's body in a well inside the palace.

After receiving the news, Lu Bu was greatly inspired and quickly ordered the soldiers to quietly salvage the palace maid's body.

After the boss came up, Lu Bu took Guan Yu into the courtyard of the well, and asked all the soldiers to retreat, leaving only Guan Yu alone in the courtyard.

Lu Bu couldn't help but look at the salvaged palace maid and saw that the palace maid's body had not yet rotted and her face was lifelike.

Although she wore the costumes of a palace maid, her temperament seemed not as simple as an ordinary palace maid.

Well, at this time, Lu Bu had no intention of pursuing her identity.

Lu Bu couldn't help but look at the palace maid, and saw a treasure trove on the neck of the palace maid.

Lu Bu took out the tip and opened it. He found a vermilion wooden box inside, locked with a golden lock on the outside.

When I opened the golden lock, I found a jade seal hidden inside. The jade seal is four inches in size and is engraved with a five-clawed golden dragon.

This jade seal lacks a corner and is filled with gold inlay.

There are eight big characters carved in seal characters: Become the command of heaven and live forever!

This is the imperial seal!

There is a proverb in later generations: If you have eyes, you can’t recognize gold and jade, which means this imperial seal!

This jade seal is also called Heshi Bi.

In ancient times, there was a man named Bian He. Under Jingshan, he saw a phoenix living on a large stone, so Bian He contributed the stone to King Wen of Chu.

King Wen of Chu untied the stone and obtained a piece of beautiful jade from it.

Later, when he arrived in the Qin Dynasty, he used this piece of beautiful jade to carve it as a jade seal. Li Si carved these eight big words on it: Become the command of heaven and live forever!

Later, when Wang Mang usurped power, Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan used a jade seal to beat Wang Xun and Su Xiande, and a corner was broken and later used gold to inlay it.

Later generations used gold-inlaid jade to call this jade seal!

Seeing the jade seal, Guan Yu asked in shock: "Brother, is this the imperial jade seal?"

Lu Bu nodded, and then said to Guan Yu: "Second brother, the imperial seal is a great thing. Don't tell me the second brother!"

Guan Yu clasped his fists to Lu Bu and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely ruin this secret and will never tell anyone!"

After hearing Guan Yu's words, Lu Bu nodded.

Guan Yu's character is still trustworthy.

Since he obtained the jade seal, Lu Bu's first goal has been achieved.

What remains now is how to chase Dong Zhuo tomorrow.

In fact, if Lu Bu really wants to kill Dong Zhuo, if he makes careful arrangements, he will not be without a chance.

But now Lu Bu doesn't want to kill Dong Zhuo very much.

Because now Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhuo’s subordinates are still useful.

Their function is to further weaken the foundation of the Han Dynasty!

The Han Dynasty has completely broken down to its roots, and has reached the point where it cannot be destroyed or established.

If that's the case, then just leave Dong Zhuo and put another effort into shaking the foundation of the man!

The purpose of Lu Bu's march tomorrow is to rob the people and save them from the fire and water!

...

Let’s talk about Dong Zhuo rushing to Xingyang, and Xingyang Prefect Xu Rong came out to greet Dong Zhuo.

Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo: "My father-in-law, we have just given up on Luoyang. In order to prevent someone from chasing us from behind, we can ask Xu Rong to lead the ambush next to the mountain dock outside Xingyang City!"

"If there are pursuers who are pursuing them, you can put them in. Then wait for me to kill them and wait for the pursuers to retreat. When the pursuers retreat, they will come out, so that the pursuers will suffer a great loss!"

After hearing Li Ru's idea, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be overjoyed, praised him repeatedly, and immediately ordered Xu Rong to ambush.

Sure enough, not long after, Lu Bu chased after him. Xu Rong was ambushing beside the dock. When he saw Cao Cao leading his army to come, he quietly put Cao Cao in.

Not long after, Cao Cao caught up with Dong Zhuo's army.

At this time, Zhang Ji led his troops to meet Cao Cao.

Cao Cao shouted loudly: "The traitor, who hijacked the emperor and carried the people, was extremely guilty. Don't you surrender quickly in front of this general?"

Zhang Ji snorted coldly and said, "It's not just about life or death, kill me!"

The two armies immediately fought together.

After a while of fighting, Li Jue led an army to come from the left, and Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Xiahou Yuan to meet the enemy.

A shout came out again on the right, Guo Si led his army to come, and Cao urgently ordered Cao Ren to welcome the enemy. The three armies and horses were unstoppable.

Cao Cao was defeated and hurriedly led his army to retreat to Xingyang.

I just walked to the foot of a mountain and it was almost the third update, and the moon was round in the sky.

Cao Cao sorted out the remnants of the army, with less than 10,000 people left. Just as he was about to bury the pot and cook, he suddenly heard the sound of killing sounds everywhere around him.

Xu Rong got all the ambushed soldiers out, and Cao Cao was startled and quickly led the army to escape.

Xu Rong chased after him reluctantly, took out a bow and arrow, and shot it out with a sudden arrow, hitting Cao Cao's shoulder!

Cao Cao ran away with an arrow. He had just turned over the foot of the mountain and was tripped by two soldiers with a tripping rope and captured Cao Cao alive.
