Spring rain is as precious as oil. After a heavy rain, the air is much clearer and the weather clears again.

The golden sunshine shines on the body, warm and very comfortable.

Wang Lei left Cao Cao's military camp with soldiers from the Tiger Camp and stationed alone. At first, Wang Lei felt a little disappointed. After all, he had been fighting side by side with Cao Cao for a long time, and the two sides had brotherhood. But Wang Lei quickly adjusted. The path between him and Cao Cao was different. Even if he did not part ways now, he would be hostile in the future and would meet on the battlefield.

Things are just going to happen sooner or later.

Besides, everyone has their own ambitions.

Cao Cao has his own way to go, and Wang Lei also has his own way to go.

Wang Lei led his troops to stop and rest in the city for a while, and let the soldiers make some adjustments. The army was stationed, and Wang Lei and Guo Jia sat opposite each other in the camp. Wang Lei looked as usual and said slowly: "Fengxiao, this time leading troops back to the camp to join Han Fu means that the great cause of attacking Dong Zhuo collapsed. This time, our goal of becoming famous has been accomplished, but it's a pity that Cao Cao..."

Speaking of this, Wang Lei's tone stuttered.

Guo Jia said in a harmonious voice: "The lord pursues differently from Cao Cao. The two sides have different paths from the beginning. The lord bears the future of countless people on his shoulders, and the lord is more ambitious, so he must meet with Han Fu... As for Cao Cao, it won't take long, and Cao Cao will return to Yanzhou. His army will not last long against the Xiliang army."

Wang Lei did not ask why. In history, Cao Cao did not last long.

Guo Jia said: "Lord, I have another suggestion."

"Say!" Wang Lei waved his hand.

Guo Jia's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Please send soldiers from the Tiger Camp to search for the Censor's Mansion and the Royal Library, and collect all the classics in these places. Through the collected documents, archives, laws and regulations, pictures, etc., we can know the dangerous mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty, the county and household registration information, which is exactly what we need."

Guo Jia talked happily and said seriously: "The Han Dynasty has been passed down to this day, and the rare secret books collected by the royal family can increase the lord's background and help the lord recruit talents, so please complete it as soon as possible."

Wang Lei's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "I am considerate in dealing with filial piety and this must be handled immediately."

"Dian Wei!" Wang Lei shouted.

Dian Wei clasped his fists and said, "The last one is here!"

Wang Lei ordered: "Divide the 800 Tiger Camp soldiers into three teams, search for books in the palace, search for classics in the Censor's Mansion, and search for other places to collect all the books you can collect."

"Abide by the order!"

Dian Wei was reluctant, but he agreed. In Dian Wei's mind, these books were not as valuable as a few steel knives.

Wang Lei saw the soldiers going down and stayed in the camp waiting for news.

The news that Wang Lei's soldiers ran around in the palace, searched for books in the Censor's Mansion, and even searched for books everywhere quickly reached Cao Cao and Sun Jian's ears. However, neither Cao Cao nor Sun Jian paid attention to it, and Luoyang had become a ruin, especially after being ravaged by Dong Zhuo, all the things left behind were worthless.

Therefore, Cao Cao and Sun Jian both let it go, and after they knew that the other party was searching for books, they did not interfere without authorization. They searched for books but did not break the law, so no one cared about them.

Cao Cao and Sun Jian rested in the city for one day and planned to continue moving westward tomorrow.

However, that night, Sun Jian was lying on the bed, and he couldn't fall asleep even though he tossed and turned.

The reason is that he picked up the imperial seal.

With the object of the imperial seal, Sun Jian suddenly became conflicted. On the one hand, Sun Jian was worried that the news of the imperial seal would cause disasters; on the other hand, Sun Jian felt that it was not necessary to privately hide the imperial seal. However, Sun Jian also had selfish thoughts in his heart and was unwilling to hand over the imperial seal.

All kinds of thoughts come to my mind, and only I can understand the taste.

"Report!!"

The soldiers stood outside the tent and reported: "Sir, General Cao is visiting."

Sun Jian's heart was terrified and ordered: "Please!"

The soldiers went to convey the orders, and soon Cao Cao came to Sun Jian's tent. After Cao Cao sat down, he said, "Brother Wentai looked a little haggard. It seems that he has not had a good sleep!"

Sun Jian's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

It seems that Cao Cao learned the news.

But he would never admit it, and he could not admit it.

Sun Jianqiang smiled and said, "It's just that I'm a little bad, which makes Meng De worried."

Cao Cao sighed lightly and said, "Brother Wentai pretended not to understand what I said. It seems that he did not intend to tell me about the imperial seal. Brother Wentai, the imperial seal is just a slightly beautiful piece of jade in your hands. What is the use of holding it? Staying in your hands will only bring you endless trouble. Leave it to the court, this is the best choice."

Sun Jian looked puzzled and shook his head and said, "What did Meng De say? Why can't I understand? We want to attack Dong Zhuo, so why is it related to the imperial seal?"

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Brother Wentai, I have no malice towards you."

Sun Jian continued, "I don't understand what Meng De means?"

Cao Cao sighed lightly and said, "I had no intention, but Wentai thought I was interested in the imperial seal. Ha, it was really ironic! I had kind intention to help me, but Wentai regarded me like a tiger and wolf. Since this is the case, we can only part ways. Every man is innocent and is guilty of possessing a treasure. Brother Wentai will definitely attract countless people's calculations when he obtains the imperial seal. Especially Brother Wentai is unwilling to hand over the imperial seal, which will attract grudges from all walks of life. Brother Wentai is asked to leave Luoyang quietly tomorrow and return to Changsha."

After a pause, Cao Cao said again: "The army is full of people, and even I know about the imperial seal. The news must have spread. Please be careful on your way back to Changsha."

Sun Jian widened his eyes and said, "Are you really not moved when facing the imperial seal?"

Cao Cao laughed and said in a blunt tone: "In my eyes, the imperial seal is just a stone. What is the use of it? I have already said what I should say. I hope Brother Wentai is careful. The journey to Changsha is long and try to keep a low profile."

After saying that, Cao Cao left the tent.

In fact, Cao Cao could let Sun Jian stay, but Sun Jian had another idea, and staying would not help him. On the contrary, Cao Cao would damage his reputation because he kept Sun Jian, so he simply fulfilled Sun Jian's intention and let Sun Jian leave.

Sun Jian watched Cao Cao leave, his expression was even more complicated.

Sun Ce walked in and asked, "Dad, what did Cao Cao say?"

Sun Jian sighed lightly and waved his hand and said, "I didn't say anything. Let's go down and prepare. We will set off for Changsha early tomorrow morning. We have obtained the imperial seal, and the way back to Changsha will definitely be uneasy. Be careful."

"Son understand!"

Sun Ce was faintly excited and turned around and left the tent.

When Sun Jian was unable to fall asleep, Wang Lei, who was separated from Cao Cao, also received the news of the imperial seal. Regarding this situation, Wang Lei could only sigh at the strength of the wheel of history. He changed the situation of the war in Hulao Pass. Unexpectedly, Sun Jian still picked up the imperial seal. It has to be said that Sun Jian is really destined to be the imperial seal, but this jade seal is not a blessing, but a death-driven talisman.
