A messenger Pegasus delivered the news to the Toad Army camp, and then Pegasus returned to Huangsha City, coming and going, relying on the fast horse to discuss the specific details of the handover.
In the end, the two sides decided on a location between the Toad Army Camp and Huangsha City. The time was at five o'clock. Each side sent 36 people to hand over Lin Shaoyu's body.
The handover happened overnight and the time was so urgent, which was beyond Cheng Dalei's expectation, but if you think about it, you can understand the key. The imperial army has already run out of food, and if it continues, a large-scale mutiny may occur.
By the time of the fifth watch, people from both sides had arrived. Bonfires were lit on the field, illuminating the wasteland as bright as day.
Cheng Dalei rode a black bull, followed by more than 30 people including Yinmu, Qin Man, Zhao Zilong and others.
The representative of the imperial army is Song Bokang, who is acquainted with Cheng Dalei. As for Li Letian, Cui Xiang, Yu Chili and others, none of them appeared today.
"Master Cheng, I have never met you. You are fine." Song Bokang.
"Okay, okay." Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Everything is settled. Let's start quickly and finish quickly. Don't talk nonsense like this."
Song Bokang was choked very much, but because he knew Cheng Dalei's character, he didn't feel bad. At least, Cheng Dalei didn't swing a big ax to chop him, and Song Bokang already felt very lucky.
He clapped his hands, and his men came carrying a coffin. Lin Shaoyu's body was in the coffin. The imperial army had simply dealt with it, at least not leaving his body intact. As for Lin Shaoyu's weapons and armor, they were also in the coffin.
.
Cheng Dalei ordered his people to see it, but as for himself, he did not have the courage to think about that bad memory again. After confirming that the imperial army was not playing any tricks, Cheng Dalei's people took the coffin over.
Song Bokang stood there and saw the toad army carrying the coffin away. Only when their backs disappeared into the night in the distance did he let out a long sigh of relief.
He was also afraid that Cheng Dalei would set some trap to catch him all.
"Let's go, let's go."
Song Bokang waved his hand and led his men back to Huangsha City quickly.
Cheng Dalei carried Lin Shaoyu's coffin back to the camp. It was almost dawn and there was some light in the east.
Xu Shenji and others who were waiting at the camp came over and said: "Master, what will happen to Shao Yu's funeral? Should he be buried in Toad City, or should he choose to be buried in Shao Yu's ancestral home?"
"Don't bother, just bury it here."
"Then we need to prepare first and choose a geomantic treasure land. Everything is lacking here, and I'm afraid we won't be able to prepare some necessary things."
"I told you not to bother, just dig a hole and bury it. The person is already dead, so there is no need to bury it."
Cheng Dalei didn't particularly care about this. He chose a few people, found a place outside the camp, ordered people to dig soil for a grave, and buried Lin Shaoyu's coffin in it. Cheng Dalei just poured a jar of wine on it, without even a monument.
Standing there, waiting for winter to turn to spring, the grassland is covered with weeds. This place is actually no different from other places.
Cheng Dalei stood silently in front of the grave for a while and then returned to the camp. On the way, he inevitably thought of the past. When Lin Shaoyu suddenly left, he wanted to find a place to calm down and think about it. At that time, Cheng Dalei felt that if there was a beautiful mountain and clear water,
Living forever in this land may not be a good thing for Lin Shaoyu.
However, after thinking about it over and over again, he raised the flag and ended up like this. After all, Cheng Dalei was still a little unhappy.
The camp is preparing for the retreat and collecting supplies. In fact, it doesn't matter what the supplies are. Most of the supplies were stolen from the Imperial Army.
Everyone brought dry food with them, and all the baggage and food that could not be taken away were burned on the spot.
For a moment, flames shot up into the sky. The jars in Huangsha City kept an eye on the movement of the toad army and quickly reported this scene to Huangsha City. Li Letian, Prime Minister Cui and others who knew the news were so angry that they kept scolding their mothers.
The Imperial Army had run out of food. Tens of thousands of people could not eat for a day, and many unpredictable things would happen. Under such circumstances, Cheng Dalei actually burned the food that everyone regarded as their lives.
At dawn, the Toad Army began to retreat. Three thousand dragon-character flags explored the way. After Qin Man's barbarian-character army broke up and started to move on, the magic skills began to be activated. It took ten days for everyone to arrive from Bingzhou.
Jingzhou.
On this day, when they arrived at Baimapo in Jingzhou, Cheng Dalei ordered the army to stop.
"Master, what's going on?" Xu Shenji asked, "Are you trying to seize the opportunity to capture Chang'an?"
Cheng Dalei rolled his eyes at him and was not very willing to pay attention to him. He took out a map from his body, compared it with the surrounding terrain, and finally selected a point.
"dig!"
The whole army started digging together with their weapons, and they dug three or four meters until they dug a big hole in the open space, but still found nothing.
Cheng Dalei was a little confused. Could it be that he had chosen the wrong place, or that Lin Shaoyu made a little joke to himself before he died. Logically speaking, he did not have such a sense of humor.
"Master, I've found it, I've found it."
At this moment, one of his subordinates suddenly shouted. Cheng Dalei hurriedly walked over and saw that his subordinate was holding a white jade Buddha in his hand.
The jade is as smooth as a girl's face, and you can squeeze it out of water. These people in Toad City, Cheng Dalei, Xu Shenji, Liu Bei, Guan Yu... Generally speaking, they have never seen much of the world. The only one
Lin Shaoyu, a well-born man, died recently.
They had seen this before, and their eyes were all wide open. They couldn't believe that there was such a treasure in the world.
"Okay, okay." Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Everyone who has dug up treasures will go to Liu Bei's office to register. Now everyone, please be careful. Don't dig with weapons, use hand planes instead."
As the first white jade Buddha was unearthed, more and more treasures were unearthed, including gold, silver and jade articles, a meter-long coral tree, exquisite gold pagodas, jade statues...each one is worth tens of thousands.
Every piece of gold is exquisitely crafted. In comparison, the white jade Buddha that was the first to be dug was nothing.
Liu Bei registered these treasures in a register, with Xu Shenji assisting, and then selected a few people to offset the resistance brought by Xu Shenji.
This took a lot of time and was busy for two days. Finally, Cheng Dalei asked his men to hand over the task of transporting these treasures to Qin Man, Guan Yu and other five teams. If there is any loss or damage, it is the responsibility of the five of them.
The five people asked the battalion commander below, and then the battalion commander asked for the captain... That's it, all the way down to the individual.
Because they had to carry treasures, the speed of the next march was naturally slowed down. There was no way around it. After walking for a month from Jingzhou to Liangzhou, everyone finally returned to their hometown.
