In the early morning of the next day, the county town of Dianchi was like an explosion, near the granary of the county seat, there was a sea of people, hundreds of people drove ox carts, pulled carts and carts of grain, under the escort of Yongshun and other 3,000 officers and soldiers, officially embarked on the journey.

Yizhou Taishou Yonghong personally saw him off at the gate of the city, and he said to Yongshun, who was about to leave: "Second brother, this escort of grain and grass is the top priority, you must be careful, when you get to Meng Shu's side, no matter what Meng Shu says, you have to endure it, and you must not make a mistake, understand?" ”

Yongshun nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I have my own sense of proportion, and I will definitely handle this matter properly!" ”

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then they separated, and Yongshun shouted, urging the grain army to leave Dianchi County.

This grain transport team escorted a total of 50,000 stone of grain, which was to be transported to the tribe of Meng Huo in two parts.

The tribe led by Meng Huo was stationed in the Ailao Mountain area between Yizhou County and Yongchang County, and his original tribe should be in Yuewang County, but in order to expand his influence, Meng Huo successively conquered the Henibu and Ailao tribes located in the area of Ailao Mountain, and occupied their lands, and since then they have been stationed in Ailao Mountain, far away from the rest of the tribes.

Therefore, if Yongshun wants to transport grain from Dianchi Lake to the area of Ailao Mountain, it must pass through Shengxiu County, and Meng Shu's troops are ambushed in the area of Biyun Mountain in Shengxiu County, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Meng Huo was originally bewitched by Yonghong to rebel with him, and he himself is even more brave and scheming, belonging to the kind of person with developed limbs but a simple mind, so Yonghong will always use him to help him achieve his goals.

But. When Li Hui secretly found Meng Huo. After explaining a qiē to Meng. Meng Huo had a trace of hatred for Yonghong. Moreover, Meng Huo himself is also very ambitious, otherwise he would not have used force to unify the various tribes in Nanzhong.

Coupled with Li Hui's boasting again, he persuaded Meng Huo to kill Yonghong and replace him, Meng Huo seemed to see a light and couldn't hold it anymore, so he thought about how to kill Yonghong.

However, Yonghong has a great reputation in Nanzhong. And it is very good at buying people's hearts, and seven or eight out of ten people in Nanzhong have received the favor of Yonghong. If you want to kill Yonghong, you will inevitably become the target of scolding in the entire Nanzhong. Even if Meng Shu could kill Yonghong by force, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to sit firmly in Nanzhong.

So, under Li Hui's calculations, Meng Huo decided to find a reason to provoke a war, let Yonghong attack him first, and fight back in self-defense, after killing Yonghong. There will be no infamy.

That's why Meng Shu opened his mouth to the Yonghong Lion. demanded 100,000 stone of grain, and he himself personally led an army disguised as bandits, preparing to rob and kill the grain transport team on the way. In this way, he said that he had not received food, so he could continue to ask Yonghong for grain and grass.

Yongshun with 3,000 soldiers, escorting 50,000 stone grain and grass, from Dianchi County, did not stop much along the way, because of the long distance, the road is rugged, Yongshun and others took two full days to arrive at Shengxiu County.

Just after noon, everyone was a little tired, so Yongshun ordered everyone to stop and rest and start burying the pot to cook.

Now the entire Nanzhong has surrendered to Yonghong, Yongshun has become the Taishou of Yongchang, and the forces of Meng Shu are scattered in Yizhou and Yongchang, so the entire grain transportation team is very lax, thinking that no one dares to plunder this batch of official grain.

However, they were mistaken, and just as everyone was resting in place, suddenly there was a bang, and a dense stream of arrows shot out from all directions, and everyone was caught off guard, killed and wounded.

And at this time, groups of black-clothed masked people rushed out from all directions with scimitars in their hands, killing people when they saw them, and they didn't care about it, and this group of black-clothed masked people were all vigorous people, and they naturally had the upper hand in the face of unsuspecting officials, soldiers and people.

Yongshun never expected that he would encounter a group of thieves of unknown origin here, and the combat effectiveness of this group of thieves was very strong, like a tiger entering a flock, for a while, swords and swords, blood splashed, corpses flying.

Yongshun has never been on the battlefield, and when he saw this situation this time, his stomach had begun to churn constantly, and he vomited it with a wow.

At this moment, the people fled in all directions like frightened birds, and the officers and soldiers were not effectively commanded, and thousands of people were like a plate of scattered sand, at the mercy of others.

Half an hour later, the battle was over, all the people who carried the grain were killed, and none were left, while Yongshun's head was cut off by a man in black and tied to his waist, showing off his might.

In a small area, the corpses were strewn all over the place, and the blood was flowing like a river, and none of the black-clothed people who suddenly attacked were injured.

At this time, Meng Shu walked out of the hillside, and there was a scribe dressed as Han standing beside him, who was none other than Li Hui.

The man in black who beheaded Yongshun's head immediately ran to Meng Shu's front and offered Yongshun's head to ask for a reward.

Meng Shu glanced at Yongshun's head, turned his face and said to Li Hui: "Now that Yongshun is dead, and the grain and grass are also ours, what should we do next?" ”

Li Hui said: "Send a person disguised as an official to inform Yonghong, just say that the grain and grass have been robbed, Yongshun and others have been killed, and see how Yonghong reacts." At the same time, the king should do his best to transport the grain away and hide it, and the province was discovered by Yonghong. In addition, the king should send someone to inform Yonghong again and continue to ask for grain and grass. ”

Meng Shu nodded, and immediately sent people to do everything Li Hui said.

……

In the Yali of Dianchi County, Yonghong has always been preoccupied, and his right eyelid has been beating. Such symptoms have started since the morning, and since Yongshun left, his heart has not been calm, for fear that something will go wrong with the grain and grass escorted by Yongshun.

After lunch, Yonghong was resting in the house, and suddenly someone came to report that something had happened to the grain transportation team, Yonghong hurriedly got up from the bed, and followed the messenger to the hall, but saw a person with a bloody face kneeling there.

When the man saw Yonghong coming, he immediately cried and said, "My lord, the grain and grass ...... Grain and grass ......"

"What's wrong with the grain and grass?" Yonghong hurriedly asked.

"The grain and grass were robbed by a group of thieves of unknown origin, and even Lord Yong was killed, if it wasn't for the little one who pretended to be dead and escaped, I'm afraid he would have already become a ghost under the knife."

When Yonghong heard the news, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, the grain and grass were robbed, and Yongshun and the rest of the army were wiped out, such a blow was too big for him. He trembled his hands, and suddenly asked: "There have always been no thieves in Yizhou and Yongchang, where did this group of thieves come from, have you ever seen the appearance of the leader, is it Han or barbarian?" ”

"Those thieves are all dressed in black, with their faces covered, and they can't tell who they are, and the number of them is several times that of us, and they can't tell if they are Han or barbarians!"

Yonghong's whole body was paralyzed, he sat down on the seat, raised his hand, and waved weakly towards the person who reported the news, signaling him to leave.

As soon as the messenger left here, Yonghong's henchman came in and said to Yonghong: "My lord, the messenger sent by Meng Huo is here. ”

Yonghong was shocked in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect Meng Huo's envoy to come so quickly!" Let him in. ”

"Whoa!"

Not long after, a man with a length of one foot and two inches, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a hideous face walked into the hall, made a rude to Yonghong, and shouted loudly: "See Lord Yong!" ”

Yonghong knew this person, this person was the first warrior under Meng Huo's account, the leader of the Ugo tribe, called the vulture bone. It is said that this person does not eat grains, but feeds on snakes and evil beasts, and has scales and armor on his body, which can avoid swords and arrows, and he does not know whether it is true or false.

In the past, Yonghong had only heard about it, but now when he saw this person with his own eyes, he couldn't help but shudder, especially the pair of lantern-like eyes, staring at him with a bright eye, and because he was too tall, Yonghong could only look up at his neck, so that the vulture had a condescending feeling.

"King Meng sent you here, why did you do it?" Yonghong asked straight to the point.

"The king of my family learned that the grain and grass sent by Lord Yong to escort was robbed in the area of Biyun Mountain, and he was very angry, and he wanted to lead the army to pursue the robbers, but it was under the rule of the lord, if the king of my family did not say hello to the lord, he led the troops into this place, I am afraid that the lord will misunderstand. Therefore, the king of my family sent me here to inform my lord that the king of my family is ready to lead an army of 100,000 into Yizhou County, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he must find out this gang of thieves, otherwise, there will be no place for my king's face. ”

The incident happened in Yizhou County, and this batch of grain and grass was given to Meng Shu, and this group of thieves knew that it was Meng Shu's grain and grass, and they wanted to rob it, which was really a challenge to Meng Shu's authority. In Yonghong's view, Meng Huo's doing this is also in line with his personality.

Moreover, Yonghong himself also wants to find out who is behind the scenes, and dares to go east on Tai Sui's head, and he doesn't want to live anymore.

"That's fine. Since your king is willing to lead his troops to help me find the robbers, I am grateful. When you find that gang of thieves, the grain and grass that they have stolen will be yours, and I will send another 50,000 stone of grain, and you can also set off directly from here to attack Qianwei County. Please tell your lord that the remaining 50,000 stone of grain will be delivered to you within two days. ”

The vulture said, "Then I took my leave." ”

"Don't send it!"

After the vulture bone left, the more Yonghong thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, why did Meng get it so quickly? So, Yonghong sent someone to find Wang Yan and told Wang Yan about the matter.

When Wang Yan heard this, he was shocked and shouted, "Is there such a thing? ”

"It's true!" Yonghong Road.

Wang Yan frowned, pondered for a moment, and asked, "My lord, don't you think there is something strange in this matter?" (To be continued......)
