229 gold and silver jewelry
When the group came out of Mei Cheng's tent, they each returned to the camp, and one of them was very drunk, and when he returned to the camp, he immediately gathered his subordinates and told them to sleep in their clothes tonight, and wait for the night, and when the time came, they began to move.
The subordinates asked what the action would be, and the general was too drunk and couldn't keep his mouth open, so he directly told what he had secretly discussed in Mei Cheng's account.
Among his subordinates, there was a military Sima who was a fellow villager of Zhang Xun, and when he heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly went to Zhang Xun's camp to inform Zhang Xun that someone was plotting to rebel tonight.
When Zhang Xun heard this, he was taken aback, and immediately led someone to arrest the general, and then after some torture, he learned that Mei Cheng turned out to be the mastermind, and conspired with thirteen generals to kill Yuan Shu, rob the treasure, and then turn to Zhang Yan's account.
Zhang Xun immediately made a decision and immediately ordered his henchmen to arrest Mei Cheng and the thirteen generals. Coincidentally, one of the soldiers in Zhang Xun's henchman was a relative of Mei Cheng, and when he learned the news, he immediately ran to inform Mei Cheng.
When Mei Cheng learned that the conspiracy was exposed, he was also very decisive, and immediately gathered 5,000 soldiers and horses in his camp, and suddenly attacked, striking first and attacking the Chinese army where Yuan Shu was located.
Zhang Xun commanded the army to hold the Chinese army and repelled several attacks by Mei Cheng, who had few troops and had to turn to attack the location of Yuan Shu's treasure.
There was chaos in the camp, and the generals who had conspired with Mei Cheng gathered their troops and horses one after another, joined Mei Cheng's army, and then attacked the place where Yuan Shu hid the treasure together.
Yuan Yin and Huang Yi, who were in charge of guarding the gold, silver and jewelry, had already prepared and ordered the archers to release arrows and rely on the camp. Counter to repel Mei Cheng.
Mei Cheng was unwilling. Then he set fire to the camp.
Time. The fire in the Yuan army's camp was protruding, and the fire spread very quickly by the night wind, and in a moment, a huge fire dragon had been formed, which not only devoured the camp where the Yuan army placed gold, silver and jewelry, but also had a tendency to spread to the entire camp.
The Yuan army attacked each other and was in disarray. After several efforts, Mei Cheng finally broke through the defense line of Yuan Yin and Huang Yi, and Yuan Yin and Huang Yi's subordinates were under the double threat of rebels and fire.
Yuan Yin and Huang Yi saw that the situation was not good, so they had to take their personal entourage, rescue dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and run straight towards the Chinese army where Yuan Shu was.
Zhang Xun was in the camp of the Chinese army and saw Yuan Yin and Huang Yi leading the remnants of the army to arrive. It was already known what was going on, and the fire in the camp was getting bigger and bigger. Zhang Xun immediately asked Yuan Yin and Huang Yi to take the remnants of the army to protect Yuan Shu and Yuan Shu's family first, along Shaobei, all the way to the north.
And Zhang Xun himself led 5,000 soldiers and horses to meet the rebels composed of Mei Cheng and others.
At this time, Mei Cheng and others snatched many boxes of gold, silver and jewelry from the fire, and while they were still in joy, Zhang Xun led the crowd to kill them, and surrounded Mei Cheng and others in the burning camp.
Zhang Xun let the spearmen in the front line, and the archers kept firing arrows into the camp behind the spearmen, Mei Cheng and the others couldn't resist such a fierce rain of arrows, and rushed several times, but they were all repelled by Zhang Xun, and the number of rebels became smaller and smaller.
So, Mei Cheng asked the rest of the rebels to rush forward without stopping, attracting Zhang Xun's attention, but he fled from elsewhere with a thousand elite soldiers and dozens of chests of gold, silver and jewelry.
Zhang Xun commanded Ruoding, and after Mei Cheng fled, the rebels were leaderless, and Zuihou was defeated by Zhang Xun and forced to surrender.
By the time Zhang Xun found out that Mei Cheng had fled, Mei Cheng had already fled far away with soldiers and dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
Seeing that the camp had been destroyed and that more than half of the army had been killed or wounded, Zhang Xun gathered the soldiers and regathered more than 10,000 troops, marched all the way to the north, and quickly left the burning camp.
At this moment, Lujiang guarded Liu Xun and personally led the army to the territory of Shouchun, because the soldiers were tired, so the temporary garrison was on the hills that were still ten miles away from Shaobei.
Suddenly, the scout came to report, saying that the fire near Shaobi was soaring, and the shouts of killing were soaring to the sky, and there was also Yuan Shu's banner.
After Liu Xun heard this, without saying a word, he ordered a thousand cavalry, quickly left the camp, and rushed towards Shaobei, wanting to see what was going on.
The group was galloping towards the vicinity of Shaobi non-stop, but they didn't want the scouts to send another message, saying that two miles ahead, there was a group of Yuan Shu's troops, which were heading here.
Liu Xun frowned, thinking that Yuan Shu's army had discovered his existence, so he didn't stop doing anything and rushed directly with the cavalry.
This group of people is the fleeing Mei Cheng and others, because the night is difficult to distinguish, Mei Cheng and the others first heard the sound of rolling horses' hooves in the distance, so they immediately became alert, let people hide first, and wait until the cavalry approached, and then see where the soldiers and horses were.
But Liu Xun's soldiers and horses were extremely fast, and Mei Cheng and the others were just about to prepare to hide, but they were discovered by Liu Xun and killed them directly with the cavalry.
In desperation, Mei Cheng had no choice but to rush to meet the battle, and the two engaged, Mei Cheng saw that it was Liu Xun's soldiers and horses, and was surprised, so he immediately stopped fighting with Liu Xun and asked to return to Liu Xun.
Liu Xun learned that Mei Cheng was going to return to Shun, so he asked Mei Cheng about the situation in Shaobei, and only then did he know that Mei Cheng rebelled against Yuan Shu, because he couldn't defeat Zhang Xun, so he fled here, and happened to meet Liu Xun.
So, Liu Xun accepted Mei Cheng's submission. However, Mei Cheng hid dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the grass and did not let Liu Xun find out.
Mei Cheng was afraid that Liu Xun would find out, so he said that Yuan Shu had hundreds of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in Shaobei, and encouraged Liu Xun to get them.
Liu Xun was a greedy man for money, and when he heard this, he immediately took it seriously, took the cavalry first, let Mei Cheng follow him with the infantry, and then went to the Yuan army camp in Shaobi together.
By the time the group arrived at the camp of Yuan Jun, the camp of Yuan Jun had already been buried in a sea of fire, and there was no gold, silver or jewelry to be seen except for the raging fire.
Liu Xun sighed and complained that he had come too late, otherwise, he would not have been able to get those gold, silver and jewelry.
However, Liu Xun did not leave, but waited patiently here, waiting for the fire to be extinguished. Then he found the gold and silver jewels from the ruins.
A fire in Shaobei. not only attracted Liu Xun's attention. It also attracted Zhang Yan, Zhang Liao and two thousand cavalry who were rushing here non-stop.
Liu Xun was standing on the edge of Yuan's army camp, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, his hearing was excellent, and he could hear that these war horses had been specially trained, otherwise, the horses' hooves would definitely not have such a harmonious rhythm.
"General, there is another cavalry, could it be Yuan Shu's cavalry?" Mei Cheng heard the sound of horses' hooves. Like a frightened bird, he hurriedly walked to Liu Xun and asked.
Liu Xun shook his head and said: "Yuan Shu's cavalry has been lost, you listen carefully to the sound of horses' hooves, it is about two thousand horses, and now in the entire Huainan, except for Zhang Yan's army can have so many cavalry, who else can there be?" ”
Mei Cheng was skeptical, but he didn't speak anymore.
Not long after, Zhang Yan led Zhang Liao and two thousand cavalry to gallop over, and saw the fire-blazing Yuan army camp. He couldn't help but frown, what was going on here. How it came to be like this, he doesn't know.
At this time, Zhang Yan was even wondering, could it be that Yuan Shu discovered their traces and deliberately set fire to the camp?
However, the dead bodies around the camp did not look like this, as if they had experienced a very fierce battle, and the soil was still stained with blood, and the whole air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Look, my lord, there's an army over there!" Zhang Liao inadvertently saw a cavalry on the left, standing there quietly.
Zhang Yan looked there, and sure enough, he saw a relatively majestic cavalry, and the leader was a majestic man, with a tall figure, eyes like torches, and a goatee hanging on his chin, which he had never even seen.
However, according to the envoy's description of Liu Xun's appearance, Zhang Yan can basically guess that this person is Liu Xun.
Liu Xun waited quietly, when Zhang Yan and others appeared, Liu Xun's eyes suddenly lit up, reflecting the firelight, and saw Zhang Yan's banner in the middle of the team, and the cavalry were all well-equipped, majestic and mighty, the first person was even more powerful, not Zhang Yan, who else could it be?
Liu Xun immediately rode out of his horse and walked towards Zhang Yan with twenty personal cavalry.
When he was still thirty steps away from Zhang Yan, Liu Xun restrained his war horse and stopped directly in place, while the cavalry behind him also stopped.
"Lujiang guards Liu Xun too much, meet the general!" Liu Xun immediately bowed respectfully!
"It turns out that he is Liu Xun......"
Zhang Yan looked at Liu Xun carefully, and then said loudly: "It turned out to be you!" What's going on here? ”
Liu Xun immediately told Zhang Yan what happened here, and after Zhang Yan heard it, he felt that God was helping him in the dark, Yuan Shu was already at the end of his rope, but he didn't expect that there would be another mutiny tonight, which was a disaster!
After Zhang Yan heard this, he got up and hurriedly said to Liu Xun: "Liu Taishou came from Lujiang with troops from afar, and this mansion really admires it. Presumably Liu Taishou is also very hard, the pursuit of Yuan Shu, just leave it to our army to do, Liu Taishou can lead the army to arrive at Shouchun City early tomorrow morning, wait for me to capture Yuan Shu, and then talk about meritorious deeds! ”
Liu Xun hugged his fists and said: "The last general obeys the order!" ”
Zhang Yan then asked Mei Cheng about the route of Yuan Shu's escape, and the answer he got was exactly the same as Zhang Yan thought, so Zhang Yan immediately led Zhang Liao to chase along the route of Yuan Jun's escape, and he must get rid of Yuan Shu completely!
After the army left, Liu Xun and Mei Cheng stayed here and began to scoop water from Shaobi to extinguish the fire.
At the time of peace, the fire in Yuan's camp was extinguished, and Liu Xun and Mei Cheng came to the place of gold and silver jewelry in the city defense, and found that under the ruins, except for piles of blackened stones, there was no bullshit gold, silver and jewelry.
Liu Xun felt that he had no success, so he returned to the camp with Mei Cheng.
On the way, Mei Cheng excused himself to check the gold and silver jewelry he had hidden, but when he opened it, he was immediately dumbfounded, the alley was not filled with gold and silver jewelry, but stones.
Mei Cheng's mind couldn't help but go blank, it turned out that his efforts were just a bunch of stones?
Where did the gold, silver, and jewelry go? (To be continued......)
