Chapter 702: The Fisherman Profits
Yao Chang saw that dozens of truckloads of materials were all gold and silver treasures, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved, these goods were enough for the military salary of 30,000 troops for several years, so he immediately ordered: "All of them are transported back to the camp, quickly." ”
"Yes, General." When the soldiers under his command heard the order, they immediately transported dozens of truckloads of materials to the direction of Yao Xiang's camp.
Zhang Yu's soldiers who were responsible for escorting the baggage carts, the wolf fled back to the valley and went straight to the battlefield.
"General, general, everything has been robbed." A junior colonel ran to Zhang Yu and shouted loudly.
Zhang Yu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What, it was robbed, who did it?" ”
"General Huiyu was done by the soldiers and horses under Yao Xiang, and the leading general is Yao Chang." The school replied truthfully.
Knowing that the materials he had worked so hard to intercept were picked up by Yao Xiang, Zhang Yu couldn't help but be very angry, he didn't expect that Yao Xiang, who was guarding Changyi, would come so far to join in the fun.
At this time, the jade seal and all the belongings of the country were all snatched away by Yao Xiang, and Zhang Yu naturally did not want to fight with Wei Tong and Le Hong in the valley, so he yelled: "Don't fight, don't fight." ”
When Zhou Cheng, who was not far away, heard this, he immediately ran over and asked loudly, "General Zhang, what happened, why didn't you fight?" ”
Zhang Yu looked bitter and said loudly: "The snipe and the clam compete for the profit of the fisherman, and Yao Xiang, the dog thief, snatched away dozens of truckloads of supplies that should have belonged to us. After speaking, his face was full of hatred.
"What, Yao Xiang is also here to join in the fun." Zhou Cheng was also shocked when he heard this, and he was also very angry. After a pause, he yelled: "Soldiers, don't fight, the jade seal of the country has been snatched away by Yao Xiang." ”
Wei Tong and Le Hong, who were commanding the men and horses to fight, were also taken aback when they heard that the jade seal of Chuanguo was snatched away by Yao Xiang, and after a pause, they ordered the soldiers under their command to stop the battle immediately.
At this time, in the middle of the valley. The army under Zhang Yu and Zhou Cheng. With the men and horses led by Wei Tong and Le Hong, they each retreated a few dozen steps back and disengaged from contact.
After this fierce battle, the losses of both of them were not small. More than half of the casualties were killed. Especially the men and horses of Wei Tong and Le Hong. Three to five thousand people were killed, which can be described as heavy losses.
Although the jade seal of the country and dozens of carts of gold and silver treasures were all robbed by the soldiers and horses under Yao Xiang's command. But Zhang Yu knew that with his own and Zhou Cheng's soldiers and horses, it was not enough to compete with Yao Xiang's elite soldiers, that is to say, Zhang Yu and Zhou Cheng were not Yao Xiang's opponents at all, and if they led the army to pursue Yao Xiang's army alone, they could only bring humiliation on themselves.
If he gave up the heirloom jade seal and a large number of gold and silver treasures, Zhang Yu was naturally unwilling, after all, he had lost so many people and horses, if he didn't get anything, it would be too cost-effective.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yu raised his eyes and looked at Wei Tong and Le Hong, at this moment, if you want to regain the jade seal and a large number of gold and silver treasures, you must use the soldiers and horses under the command of Wei Tong and Le Hong, and the two armies can unite to compete with the 30,000 elite soldiers under Yao Xiang.
And Wei Tong and Le Hong, after learning that the jade seal of the country was robbed by Yao Xiang, did not want to fight with Zhang Yu and Zhou Cheng for a senseless battle, but wanted to regain the jade seal of the country from Yao Xiang, of course, the strength of the two of them is not Yao Xiang's opponent, for this reason, they also intend to cooperate with Zhang Yu and Zhou Cheng to join forces against Yao Xiang.
Zhang Yu first smiled and hugged his fists and said: "General Wei, General Le, there was a lot of misunderstanding just now, the four of us were originally generals in the same dynasty in the Great Wei Kingdom, and we are all a family, we really shouldn't meet each other, for the sake of a small jade seal, it's really not worth it!" ”
When Wei Tong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then hugged his fists and said: "What General Zhang said is that for the sake of a small piece of jade seal, it is really not appropriate to make a fight against each other, and General Ben and General Le are also confused for a while, and they should not use force with General Zhang." ”
"Since we have all been officials in the same dynasty in the Great Wei Kingdom, it can be regarded as fate, if the four of us share the jade seal of the country, it is not impossible!" Le Hong said softly.
When Zhou Cheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "What General Le said is that it is most suitable to have the four of us guarding the jade seal of the country, but at present, the jade seal of the country has been snatched away by Yao Xiang, a dog thief, and we should join forces to march east to take back the jade seal of the country." ”
"Yes! How could the jade seal of the country fall into the hands of the barbarians. Zhang Yu said loudly.
"Okay, then join forces to march east and recapture the jade seal of the country." Wei Tong and Le Hong responded loudly, expressing their willingness to join Zhang Yu and Zhou Cheng in attacking Yao Xiang's army.
For the sake of common interests, the four people who were still fighting together just now, but now, they can talk happily and deal with the common enemy with the same hatred, and the rapid change is really jaw-dropping, which fulfills the old saying, there are only eternal interests, no eternal friends.
In the camp of Yao Xiang's army more than ten miles away in the valley, Yao Xiang waited anxiously outside the gate, according to his prediction, Yao Chang should have returned long ago after seizing the jade seal of the country, but now, more than two hours have passed, and Yao Chang has not returned with the army, which has to make Yao Xiang worried.
Just as Yao Xiang was about to send scouts to explore the direction of the valley, Yao Chang led 10,000 light horsemen and escorted dozens of carts of gold and silver treasures, and finally appeared in Yao Xiang's sight.
Seeing this, Yao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately rode his horse to meet him.
"Fifth brother, the jade seal of the country and dozens of carts of gold and silver treasures have all been transported back by our army." Seeing Yao Xiang personally greet him, Yao Chang said excitedly.
Yao Xiang glanced at dozens of baggage trucks, frowned, and said, "What we need now is the heirloom jade seal, why are you transporting these things back!" By the way, what about the jade seal of the country? After speaking, he looked at Yao Chang with a little disappointment.
Seeing that Yao Xiang was a little annoyed, Yao Chang felt very wronged, after all, he had worked hard to bring back so many treasures, not only was he not praised, but he was also reprimanded, and whoever he put it on would feel wronged.
Of course, the reason why Yao Xiang was angry was because the tens of thousands of troops of Zhang Yu and others were in the valley not far away, and after learning that the jade seal of the country was robbed, they could be killed at any time, and the transportation of so many cumbersome gold and silver treasures would greatly slow down the speed of the march, Yao Chang came back so long late, it was caused by the transportation of this large number of gold and silver treasures, besides, in Yao Xiang's heart, compared with the whole world, dozens of cars of gold and silver treasures were nothing at all.
"Fifth brother, the jade seal of the country should be in this big iron box." Yao Chang pointed to the big iron box on a baggage truck and said loudly.
"It should be in a big iron box?" When Yao Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed again, and then looked at the big iron box on the baggage car.
Yao Xiang stretched out his hand and stroked the exquisite jade inlaid on the big iron box, and said: "With these jades, you can be sure that the heirloom jade seal must be inside?" After speaking, there was a look of confusion on his face.
Yao Chang was stunned for a moment, and said loudly: "Fifth brother, among these dozens of baggage trucks, only this box is inlaid with jade, it shouldn't be wrong." After speaking, his eyes flickered.
"It shouldn't be wrong, that is, it's not certain, aren't you afraid that this is the trick of the Jin army?" Yao Xiang criticized harshly.
Yao Chang was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Fifth brother, what do you mean is that there is no heirloom jade seal in this big iron box, and it is a trick deliberately implemented by the Jin army. ”
Yao Xiang sighed, touched the big iron lock that had been cut out one after another, and said softly: "All the wooden boxes are full of gold and silver treasures, and only this big iron box can't be opened, ordinary people will definitely think that the jade seal of the country is in it, and this speculation is also very reasonable, but the more so, the more worried I am in my heart, and there is always a feeling of being tricked." ”
"What's in the plan, what's in the plan." Yao Chang asked softly.
Yao Xiang thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Do you say that the Jin army will use the jade seal of the country as bait to let me wait for the generals to fight each other, so as to weaken our strength and stabilize the rule of the Great Jin court." ”
"Fifth brother, if that's the case, the Great Jin Imperial Court can put us to death without blood! This trick is too vicious, perhaps, this is just a speculation! Yao Chang said in surprise.
Yao Xiang nodded slightly, and said softly: "Maybe I'm too sensitive, maybe this big iron box is really the heirloom jade seal, what we need to do urgently now is to open the big iron box immediately, so that it will be clear as soon as it is clear." ”
"What the fifth brother said is that I will let the craftsmen in the camp find a way to open this big iron box." Yao Chang said softly, and beckoned his soldiers and horses to transport all the baggage carts back to the camp.
"Report, General Qiyu, tens of thousands of troops in the valley have stopped fighting, and they have joined forces and killed in the direction of our army's camp." At this moment, the scouts who were ambushed in the valley sent back the news that Zhang Yu and others were coming to attack.
Yao Xiang and Yao Chang were shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect that the soldiers and horses of both sides who were fighting in the valley would turn their rivalry into jade silk so quickly, and join forces to kill them.
"Fifth brother, Zhang Yu and Wei Tong are coming together to attack, and the strength is no longer under our army, how should our army respond?" Yao Chang asked loudly.
Yao Xiang pondered for a moment and said loudly: "The enemy army is only more than ten miles away, and it will soon arrive at our army's camp. ”
Yao Chang nodded, and said loudly: "Fifth brother, don't worry, Zhang Yu and Wei Tong have been fighting for a few hours, the soldiers are already tired and have suffered heavy casualties, and our army has 30,000 elites, which is enough to defeat them." ”
Yao Xiang looked at the generals beside him and ordered loudly: "Generals, immediately assemble a large army and prepare to meet the enemy. ”
"Yes, General." The generals replied loudly, and immediately returned to the camp, gathered their men and horses, and prepared for a bloody battle with the approaching enemy army.
Seeing that the generals went back to prepare, Yao Xiang looked at Yao Chang and said loudly: "Yao Chang, this battle is all under your command, give me a good lesson to the enemy." ”
"Yes, Fifth Brother, I will definitely give the enemy a head-on blow." Yao Chang said loudly. (To be continued......)
