Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

"Congratulations, king!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"The Jade Seal Returns to Han!"

For a moment, under the guidance of Li Ji, countless soldiers and civilians around him knelt down and shouted in unison.

At this moment, Liu Bei understood that this must be the arrangement of his own prime minister.

The jade seal returns to Han!

At this point, this undoubtedly further established Liu Bei's righteous status as the emperor that was destined by heaven.

The whereabouts of the imperial seal is a mystery and it is no longer a secret.

However, the jade seal circulated between Sun Jian and Liu Biao, and very few people knew the inside story.

In the eyes of the world, the jade seal disappeared in Luoyang after Dong Zhuo's defeat and has never appeared in the world since.

Therefore, Li Ji had made arrangements from the very beginning to have the imperial seal reappear and return to the Han Dynasty after the fire in Luoyang, taking advantage of the momentum of the great victory over the Hu people.

What Li Ji didn't expect was that Liu Bei actually rushed to Luoyang from Shouchun in person.

This...is undoubtedly more appropriate.

In response to the shouts of the soldiers and civilians, Liu Bei stretched out his hand, held up the imperial seal and shouted.

"Big man, be excited!"

Suddenly, countless soldiers and civilians followed Liu Bei and shouted.

"Big man, be excited!"

Just as the sound spread in all directions, the fierce north wind that had been blowing for most of the day suddenly stopped.

As soon as the wind stopped, the fire in Luoyang City, which was still difficult to extinguish completely, also weakened significantly.

even……

Zhang Fei wiped the sudden chill on his face, was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and then he realized that it was water drops.

"It's raining?"

As Zhang Fei's voice fell, the other soldiers and civilians also looked up, and saw raindrops as big as beans falling continuously in the setting sun.

And it's getting bigger and bigger...

In just a moment, it seemed like a rainstorm was about to form.

There were who knows how many fires there were in Luoyang City, but they were being extinguished at a speed visible to the naked eye in the falling rain.

This is undoubtedly a timely blessing for Luoyang and its people.

In particular, at the moment when Liu Bei took over the jade seal, rain fell in Luoyang and the fire was put out, which further proved the will of heaven.

The Zhao State's Grand Historian, who had already returned to Han, witnessed the whole process and wrote down...

[In the middle of July in the third year of Xing Han, the prime minister lured the Hu people into the city and attacked them with fire. The north wind helped and defeated countless bandits...

There were more bandits who attacked the imperial palace, and the prime minister led his troops to resist. Although the Hu people broke through the palace wall, the king's flag went north and Ma Chao attacked them from the front and back, and defeated the Hu people. The Chanyu Yufuluo surrendered.

The heavens were moved, and a golden light shone in Luoyang. The Jade Seal was born and returned to the Han Dynasty. Then, a heavy rain fell from the sky to help the King of Han put out the fire.

……

Just when everything in Luoyang City was about to be settled, the war between Han and Hu outside Luoyang City just began.

Seeing the fire in Luoyang, the Xianbei army, led by the decisive Budugen, abandoned a lot of baggage and cattle and sheep and immediately retreated towards Mengjin.

However, when Budugen led the Xianbei army halfway, he saw a thousand Xianbei cavalrymen coming from the direction of Mengjin, looking very embarrassed. This made Budugen and other Xianbei leaders change their faces, and they ordered people to bring those Xianbei cavalrymen over and interrogate them.

These frightened Xianbei cavalrymen frequently mentioned the word "Zhang Babai" in their answers.

This made Budugen and other Xianbei leaders angry and anxious. They killed several people in succession and only after some intimidation and interrogation did they roughly understand what had happened.

Eight hundred Han infantrymen defeated Mengjin, which was garrisoned by tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry.

This sounds like a fairy tale, even more outrageous than "one Han against five Barbarians".

"Impossible! No matter how powerful the Han army is, compared with our Xianbei warriors, they are only superior in weapons and military formations."

"One against ten? What a joke! This man must be a spy hired by the Han people. Drag him down and chop him off."

"Even if the elite Han army led by the Prime Minister of Hanting is powerful, it is far from being able to do such a thing. It must be fake..."

Faced with a number of Xianbei leaders who expressed doubts, Budugen also did not believe it. He interrogated several people again and again, but the answers were all similar.

Mengjin fell, and was captured by 800 Han troops.

No one even knew who the Han general was. They only knew that he was holding a large banner with the word "Zhang" on it and leading 800 men. Therefore, the fleeing Xianbei cavalry called him "Zhang Babai" in fear.

However, even if the Xianbei leaders were unwilling to accept this fact, they knew that a person could lie, but it was impossible for all the more than a thousand Xianbei cavalrymen to be bribed by the Han people.

Mengjin fell!
This meant that the main route for the Xianbei cavalry to cross the Yellow River and return to Bingzhou was cut off, which caused many Xianbei leaders who reacted to the situation to panic.

Just when Budugen realized that something was wrong and was about to send people to try to retake Mengjin, he saw clouds of black smoke rising in the distance in the direction of Mengjin.

The Xianbei leaders, who had just witnessed the fire in Luoyang, were all too familiar with this scene.

Mengjin was also burned!

Many Xianbei leaders felt dizzy, and even Budugen was in a daze.

The defeat in Luoyang resulted in the loss of more than half of the Xianbei cavalry, which was a huge loss for the Xianbei people.

But if even the route back to Bingzhou was cut off, the remaining 90,000 Xianbei cavalry could not go back, and the Xianbei tribe might not even have the capital to retreat deep into the grassland to protect themselves.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and rush to Mengjin to put out the fire!"

"It's too late, too late. The ferry has been burned, and the ferries must be gone too."

"What should we do? Wait for death? Oh, right, isn't there a small Pingjin to the east of Mengjin?"

"Xiaopingjin is not far from Hulao Pass. If we rush to Hulao Pass, we will inevitably collide with the main force of the Han army. What's the difference between this and walking into a trap?"

"This won't work, and that won't work either..."

"I said we shouldn't have listened to Han Sui's words. He said that if we joined forces and marched south, we could seize half of the Han Dynasty and live in the Central Plains forever. But now we can't even retreat back to the grassland."

"It was you who instigated me at that time. You wanted to go south and rape Han women, and now you still dare to..."

……

For a while, it was seen that these Xianbei leaders were quarreling and blaming each other, and some of the conflicts that had been covered up were completely intensified and they were about to resort to violence.

Budugen, with a gloomy face, could not help but shout angrily.

"That's enough. Are you still fighting among yourselves?"

These words calmed down the already completely panicked Xianbei leaders a little, but the atmosphere was still extremely solemn.

Xianbei leaders such as Kebi Neng, Suli, and Miga also spoke out in support of Budugen, barely suppressing the voices of infighting temporarily.

At the critical moment of life and death, the three Xianbei tribes, which had been divided for many years, united as never before. (End of this chapter)
