Chapter 208: Leaving Beijing and Entering the Mountain
It's not that Lin Feng is reluctant to hide the money in the treasure cave. The money he has accumulated during these years of expeditions here and there will not be much less than Dong Zhuo's.
The reason why he wanted to make a three-chapter agreement first was because he was worried that the money would attract people's hearts. If the rebel army in the treasure cave broke out into civil strife because of the money grab, it would completely deviate from his original intention.
Only by agreeing on the rules in advance and being fair and equitable can these more than a thousand soldiers who suppressed the rebellion be allowed to obey orders and prohibitions. Not only can they successfully escape the whirlpool of flesh and blood in Luoyang, but they can also take the opportunity to make a fortune, and it is not in vain for them to rely solely on their passion.
He came to Luoyang to die for his loyalty to the country.
The rebels had long since figured out that the most noble among Lin Feng and others was not the violent Heshuo Dianwei they thought at first, but the white-faced young man who had been silent and silent.
At this time, Lin Feng proposed three chapters of the agreement and swore an alliance. Everyone was not surprised and expressed their compliance.
Just kidding, instead of Lin Feng going around in a big circle to rescue them one by one, at least half of the people here are already bleeding in the streets under the siege of the Xiliang Army and the imperial guards.
And no one is a fool. The shouts of killing in Luoyang City are getting weaker and weaker. It is obvious that the counter-rebellion troops except them are being killed one by one.
If you don't listen to Lin Feng's orders at this time, the most likely outcome is to be killed and silenced. Unless a large number of people can be gathered to oppose, this is of course even more impossible. A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring of water. This is the motto of these rangers.
Repaying kindness with hatred will be despised by all rangers.
Hearing the loud promise in his ears, Lin Feng seemed to be in a trance. It seemed that the people following him were not a group of rangers, but the Zhen family recruits who had just formed their first army in Jizhou Zhen family.
.
Shaking his head vigorously to put aside this strange feeling, Lin Feng ordered people to dismantle the rockery to reveal the entrance and exit to the outside of the city.
The rockery had just been halfway demolished when nearly a hundred Xiliang troops suddenly burst out from the entrance.
Xu Rong had long warned Lin Feng that although there were not many soldiers guarding the cave, they were all elite. Although the guard Hu Zhen was not a top general, he was an experienced general who had experienced many battlefields. Therefore,
You must be very careful when sneaking in, and be sure not to alert the defenders in the cave in advance.
Unfortunately, Xu Rong never expected that the situation in Luoyang City would change so quickly. At this time, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's energy was completely absorbed by the wars in the city. Moreover, because Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie and Hongnong King Liu Bian escaped from the palace at the same time, the anxious Li
Confucianism is even less concerned about the treasure cave.
Perhaps the ability of the poisonous warrior Jia Xu is enough for him to figure out this flaw, but don't forget that the current Jia Xu is not the mastermind around Dong Zhuo, but an aide to Zhang Ji under Dong Zhuo, and he has no idea about the treasure cave.
existence, there was no way to make any compensation plan for Dong Zhuo in advance.
Hu Zhen only had more than a thousand Xiliang elites under his command, and they were divided into four groups and stationed throughout the entire treasure cave. Therefore, Lin Feng did not take him seriously and prepared to lead his men into the cave and crush him directly.
Just go over there.
Unexpectedly, Hu Zhen's soldiers dared to fight back without knowing the situation outside the cave. They really lived up to the reputation of Xu Rong's fierce soldiers.
It's just that these tough soldiers were hit by bad luck, and when they came out, they realized that staying in the cave was the most correct choice in life.
The entrance to the cave is too narrow to form a battlefield formation. When it comes to fighting alone in a small area, these warriors are all younger brothers.
He was carefully trained by a group of gangsters, arranged one hundred and eight ways to die in an orderly manner, and left this world with a trace of regret.
After the cave entrance was cleared, Lin Feng led people into the cave.
The cave is dark and damp, and the passage is less than one foot high. Zhang Laosan must keep his head down at all times when moving inside, otherwise he is likely to hit his head.
If Mr. Zhao hadn't been comforting Zhang Laosan, the explosive Zhang Fei would definitely not have been willing to burrow into the ground so aggrievedly.
Fortunately, the cave is not completely dark. In the passage where four or five people are walking in parallel, a small oil lamp is lit on the roof of the cave every ten steps. The flame of the lamp the size of a pea dice does not add much brightness.
, but it is enough for people to see the way forward clearly.
After walking about two or three miles, the front suddenly became clear.
The passage was widened to about two feet wide and connected to a warehouse of three to four hundred square meters.
Xiliang soldiers continued to pour out of the warehouse, and more than 300 soldiers gradually gathered.
This situation fully demonstrated the role of top generals. When Wei, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao rushed into the enemy formation, the result was already determined. As for whether Hu Zhen was among these Xiliang troops, Lin Feng judged that there was a high probability that he was not.
Although Hu Zhen's force value is only 74 points and will not cause trouble to Zhao Yun and others, he should be able to withstand two attacks and should not die silently among the rebels.
There were no treasures in the warehouse that surprised Lin Feng. There were only more than a hundred large wooden boxes filled with copper coins and a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jade, and nothing else.
Dong Zhuo's taste was nothing more than this. There wasn't even a treasure chest containing calligraphy, painting and antiques here.
Of course, this was because Lin Feng underestimated Dong Zhuo. Although this guy had a vulgar personality, he was also from a powerful Xiliang family and would not want anything more than money.
But now Dong Zhuo is in Luoyang, covering the sky with one hand, so the antiques, calligraphy and paintings he collected are still with him for appreciation, and have not been transported back to Xiliang.
Otherwise, the money in the cave would have been secretly transported back to the Xiliang base camp long ago, so why should it be kept under Luoyang City for Lin Feng to loot?
After everyone in the counter-rebellion army figured out what was in the warehouse, they burst into thunderous cheers, causing dust to fall from the roof of the cave.
Lin Feng let the quelling troops vent their anger for a moment before ordering people to lift the boxes and quickly head out of the city along the passage.
After that, there was no more fighting, and Lin Feng finally led more than 1,200 rebel troops to rush out of Luoyang City.
The entrance and exit of the Treasure Cave outside Luoyang City is actually hidden in a farm near Luoshui not far from the North City Gate. However, the farmhouse is littered with debris at this time, and it is obvious that the west gate stationed here is
The Liang army had completely escaped.
After emerging from the ground, Lin Feng put down Zou, whom he had been holding, and while moving his sore arms, he ordered people to look around for carriages, pulleys, trolleys and other people-carrying vehicles.
Not to mention that he couldn't always carry Zou on the road, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty who had been by his side would have been unable to run. If Zhao Yun hadn't picked him up later, the little emperor would have been paralyzed on the ground and allowed to be slaughtered, let alone rushing.
.
Looking up at Luoyang City not far away, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh. He only brought out 1,200 of the more than 5,000 quelling troops.
As for the counter-rebellion troops still remaining in the city at this time, unless they are willing to surrender to Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, they will have no luck and will only have to die heroically for their country.
After taking a short rest in the farm, and after half a stick of incense, Lin Feng led his troops to leave again. He did not dare to stay here. Dong Zhuo might quell the civil war in the city at any time and lead his troops to pursue him, so he had to continue his escape.
Fortunately, the quelling army did not disperse in chaos after leaving the city. Lin Feng suspected that the most likely reason was that the hundreds of boxes of copper coins had not been evenly distributed, rather than because these rangers had the attributes of soldiers to obey orders after being tempered on the battlefield.
Under Dianwei's guidance, the counter-rebellion army made a detour into the Fragrant Mountain. It was almost dark when they found a valley with spring water and settled down.
While the soldiers were making rice, Lin Feng took the little emperor and Zou out of a two-wheeled cart covered with a cloth cover and took them to the stream to wash up.
After fighting for more than a long day, and then hiding in the mountains for half a day, the quelling rebels had a hot meal and a sip of hot soup. Every one of them felt tired and lay down on the spot, refusing to get up again.
There are even many nervous people who are already snoring and dreaming of seeing Duke Zhou.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, under Zou's service, reluctantly ate some dry food and dried meat soaked in hot water, and was sitting in a handcart weeping silently.
After all, he is still a child under 10 years old. Besides, he has been indoctrinated with political ideas since he was a child, so he is still worried and scared.
Lin Feng sat over and handed Emperor Xian of Han an unknown wild fruit: "Your Majesty, are you worried about Duke Jian's safety?"
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked up at Lin Feng, hesitantly took the wild fruit and took a bite. He seemed to feel the sweetness of the wild fruit, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Don't think about it. Duke Jian must have died for his country and followed the late emperor. Thief Dong has been in battle for a long time and is ruthless. He will never give Duke Jian a chance to escape."
When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty heard this, tears streamed down his eyes again, and he even forgot to eat the wild fruits in his hands.
