The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 230 229 Gold, Silver and Jewelry
After the group of generals came out of Mei Cheng's big tent, they went back to the camp separately. One of them was very drunk, and when he returned to the camp, he immediately summoned his subordinates and asked them to sleep with their clothes on all night, and wait for the next day. action.

The subordinates asked what the action was going to be. Because the general was too drunk and couldn't keep his mouth shut, he directly told what he had secretly discussed in Mei Cheng's tent.

Among his subordinates, one of the military commanders was Zhang Xun's fellow villager. When he heard this, he was taken aback. He hurried to Zhang Xun's camp and told Zhang Xun about the plot to rebel tonight.

When Zhang Xun heard about this, he was taken aback, and immediately led his men to arrest the general. After some torture, he learned that Mei Cheng was the mastermind and conspired with thirteen generals to kill Yuan Shu. , robbed the treasure, and then transferred it to Zhang Yan's account.

Zhang Xun made a decisive decision and immediately ordered his confidants to arrest Mei Cheng and the thirteen generals.Coincidentally, a soldier among Zhang Xun's confidantes was Mei Cheng's relative. After he heard the news, he immediately ran to inform Mei Cheng.

When Mei Cheng learned that the conspiracy had been revealed, he was also very decisive. He immediately gathered [-] soldiers and horses from the main battalion, and made a sudden attack.

Zhang Xun commanded the army to guard the central army and repelled Mei Cheng's several attacks. Mei Cheng had few troops, so he had to turn to attack Yuan Shu's treasure.

There was chaos in the camp, and the generals who had conspired with Mei Cheng gathered their soldiers and horses one after another, joined Mei Cheng's army, and then attacked Yuan Shu's treasure hiding place together.

Yuan Yin and Huang Yi, who were in charge of guarding the gold, silver and jewels, had already prepared, ordered the archers to shoot arrows, relied on the camp, and repelled Mei Cheng.

Mei deliberately felt unwilling, so he sent troops to set fire to the camp.

All of a sudden, flames arose in Yuan Jun's camp, and the fire spread quickly on the night wind. In a short while, huge fire dragons had formed, which not only swallowed up the camp where Yuan Jun kept his gold, silver and jewelry, but also tended to The entire camp spread.

Yuan Jun attacked each other and was in chaos. After several efforts, Mei Cheng finally broke through the defense line of Yuan Yin and Huang Yi. Yuan Yin and Huang Yi's subordinates were threatened by the rebels and the fire. On the defensive line, many soldiers were beheaded and killed, and those people immediately dispersed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuan Yin and Huang Yi had no choice but to take their entourage to rescue dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewels, and ran straight to the Chinese army where Yuan Shu was.

Zhang Xun was guarding the camp of the Chinese army, and when he saw Yuan Yin and Huang Yi leading the remnant army, he already knew what happened. Moreover, the fire in the camp was getting bigger and bigger, so Zhang Xun immediately let Yuan Yin and Huang Yi lead Leading the remnants of the army to protect Yuan Shu and Yuan Shu's family members, they headed north along Shaopi.

And Zhang Xun himself led [-] troops from his headquarters to face the rebel army formed by Mei Cheng and others.

At this time, Mei Cheng and others snatched many boxes of gold, silver and jewels from the fire. 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 line up in the front, and the archers kept shooting arrows into the camp behind the spearmen. Mei Cheng and others couldn't resist such a violent rain of arrows. They charged several times, but Zhang Xun repelled them all. The number of rebels is also decreasing.

Therefore, Mei Cheng let the rest of the rebels keep rushing forward, attracting Zhang Xun's attention, but he escaped from elsewhere with a thousand elite soldiers and dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

Zhang Xun's command was determined, and after Mei Cheng fled, the rebels were leaderless, and were finally defeated by Zhang Xun, who were forced to surrender.

When 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.

Zhang Xun saw that the camp had been destroyed, and more than half of the army was dead or injured, so he gathered the soldiers and regrouped more than 1 troops, and hurried all the way north, leaving the camp in flames.

At this moment, Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, personally led the army to Shouchun. Because the soldiers were tired, they temporarily stationed on the hills ten miles away from Shaopi.

Suddenly, scouts came to report, saying that the vicinity of Shaopi was full of flames and shouts of killing, including Yuan Shu's banner.

After hearing this, Liu Xun ordered a thousand cavalry without saying a word, left the camp quickly, and rushed towards Shaopi, wanting to see what happened.

A group of people were galloping non-stop towards the vicinity of Shaopi, but they didn't want the scouts to send another message saying that there was a group of Yuan Shu's army two miles ahead, walking towards here.

Liu Xun frowned, thinking that Yuan Shu's army had discovered his presence, so he rushed forward with the cavalry without stopping.

This group of people was Mei Cheng and the others who had escaped. Because it was difficult to distinguish in the night, Mei Cheng and the others first heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and they immediately became alert and asked people to hide first. When the cavalry approached, look again at the soldiers and horses.

But Liu Xun's soldiers and horses were extremely fast. Mei Cheng and the others were just about to hide when they were discovered by Liu Xun and killed them directly with the cavalry.

In desperation, Mei Cheng had no choice but to fight in a hurry, and fought twice. Mei Cheng was surprised to see Liu Xun's soldiers and horses, so he immediately ceased fighting with Liu Xun and asked to surrender to Liu Xun.

When Liu Xun learned that Mei Cheng was going to surrender, he asked Mei Cheng about the situation in Shaopi. Only then did he know that Mei Cheng had rebelled against Yuan Shu. Because he could not defeat Zhang Xun, he fled here and met Liu Xun.

Therefore, Liu Xun accepted Mei Cheng's surrender.However, Mei Cheng hid dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the grass, without Liu Xun finding out.

Mei Cheng was also afraid that Liu Xun would find out, so he said that Yuan Shu had hundreds of boxes of gold, silver and jewels in Shaopi, and encouraged Liu Xun to get them.

Liu Xun is a greedy man, when he heard this, he immediately took it seriously, led the cavalry first, asked Mei Cheng to lead the infantry to follow behind him, and then went to Yuan Jun's camp in Shaopi together.

When the group arrived at Yuan Jun's camp, Yuan Jun's camp had already been buried in a sea of ​​flames. Except for the raging fire, there were no more gold, silver and jewelry to be seen.

Liu Xun sighed, complaining that he came too late, otherwise, he would not have missed those gold, silver and jewels.

However, Liu Xun did not leave, but waited here patiently, waiting for the fire to be extinguished, and then he found the gold, silver and jewels from the ruins.

A big fire in Shaopi not only attracted Liu Xun's attention, but also attracted Zhang Yan, Zhang Liao and two thousand cavalry who were rushing here non-stop.

Liu Xun was standing by the edge of Yuan Jun's camp when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes. His hearing was excellent, and he could tell that these war horses had been specially trained. Otherwise, the horseshoes would never There is such a harmonious sense of rhythm.

"General, another group of cavalry is coming, could it be Yuan Shu's cavalry?" Mei Cheng hurriedly walked to Liu Xun's side and asked like a frightened bird when he heard the sound of horseshoes.

Liu Xun shook his head and said, "Yuan Shu's cavalry has been completely lost. Listen carefully to the sound of hooves. There are about [-] cavalry. In Huainan, besides Zhang Yan's army, who can have so many cavalry? "

Mei Cheng was skeptical, but stopped talking.

Not long after, Zhang Yan led Zhang Liao and two thousand cavalry to gallop over. Seeing Yuan Jun's camp in flames, he couldn't help frowning. He didn't know what happened here, and how it came to be like this. .

At this moment, Zhang Yan was even thinking, could it be that Yuan Shu discovered their trail and deliberately set fire to the camp?
However, the dead bodies around the camp did not look like this. They seemed to have experienced a fierce battle, the soil was still covered with blood, and the whole air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"My lord, look, there is an army over there!" Zhang Liao inadvertently saw a cavalry on the left, standing there quietly.

Zhang Yan looked over there, and sure enough, he saw a relatively majestic cavalry, and the leader was a man with a majestic appearance, a tall figure, two eyes like torches, and a goatee hanging on his chin. This man did not even have him. seen.

However, based on the envoy's description of Liu Xun's appearance, Zhang Yan could basically guess that this person was 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 all the cavalry were well-equipped, majestic and mighty. Even more mighty and extraordinary, if not Zhang Yan, who else could it be?

Liu Xun rode out immediately, and walked towards Zhang Yan with twenty cavalrymen.

When there were still thirty steps away from Zhang Yan, Liu Xun reined in his horse and stopped directly on the spot, and the cavalry behind him also stopped.

"Liu Xun, governor of Lujiang, pay homage to the general!" Liu Xun immediately bowed his hands respectfully!
"It turns out that he is Liu Xun..."

Zhang Yan looked at Liu Xun carefully, and said loudly, "So it's you! What happened here?"

Liu Xun immediately told Zhang Yan what happened here. After Zhang Yan heard it, he felt that God was helping him in the dark. !
After Zhang Yan heard this, he burst out laughing, and hurriedly said to Liu Xun, "Prefect Liu led troops all the way from Lujiang, I really admire him. Presumably Prefect Liu has also worked very hard. I will leave the task of chasing Yuan Shu to me." Let the army do it, Governor Liu can lead his troops to Shouchun City early tomorrow morning, and when I capture Yuan Shu, I will reward you for your merits!"

Liu Xun clasped his fists and said, "The last general obeys orders!"

Zhang Yan then asked Mei Cheng about Yuan Shu's escape route, and the answer he got was exactly what Zhang Yan thought, so Zhang Yan immediately led Zhang Liao to chase Yuan Shu along the escape route, and he must completely get rid of Yuan Shu !

After the army left, Liu Xun and Mei Cheng stayed here and began to scoop water from Shaopi to put out the fire.

At Pingming time, the fire in Yuan Jun's camp was extinguished. Liu Xun and Mei Cheng came to the city defense gold, silver and jewels together, and found that under the ruins, except for piles of burnt stones, there was no bullshit gold, silver and jewels. .

Liu Xun felt that he had done nothing, so he returned to the camp with Mei Cheng.

On the way, Mei Cheng took an excuse to check out the gold, silver and jewelry he had hidden. When he opened it, he was immediately dumbfounded. The alley was filled with stones instead of gold and silver jewelry.

Mei Cheng couldn't help but his mind went blank. It turned out that his hard work was just a pile of stones?
Where did the gold, silver and jewelry go?
