    Wang Shuang led his men and walked extremely slowly along the way with the wealth that was unparalleled in the country. It took him three full days to get from Wudu to the territory of Jicheng.  Wudu is mostly in mountainous areas, and the roads are rugged and very difficult to walk. In addition, in order to take away the large amount of gold and silver jewelry, it was even more difficult for him to walk.  Fortunately, everything was peaceful along the way. No one was following or intercepting them. The army that rebelled against Ma Chao seemed to have disappeared in an instant.  As soon as you enter the boundaries of Jicheng, you can see the vast plains in front of you. The fertile land is covered with thick snow. Compared with the snow in the Wudu mountainous area, the snow in these places is much smaller, and some of it is almost gone.  It is close to the edge of melting. After all, spring is here, the weather is getting warmer, and the winter snow should also melt. However, in some places where the sun does not shine, snow can still be seen everywhere.  Although the road on the plains is easier to walk than the road in the mountains, they did not catch up with the good time. At this time, the winter snow melted and the spring breeze blew. "Novel".  It is very wet. People walking on it will step on thick mud, and the carriages pulling gold and silver treasures will leave deep ruts. Sometimes they will even get stuck in the mud and cannot walk. It needs  The soldiers pushed hard from the side.  "One, two, three, push hard!" Beside a carriage not far from Wang Shuang, a corps commander, covered in mud, was shouting, and the soldiers beside him were like clay figures.  On the side, they used their hands to push the wheels of the carriage hard, while the soldiers responsible for driving the carriage pulled the horses pulling the carriage forward, no matter how hard they tried.  The carriage never moved.  The corps commander really had no choice.  Then he walked straight to Wang Shuang.  He reported: "General, we really can't push it anymore. The things on the carriage are too heavy. I thought it would be better to have people unload the things on the carriage first, and then wait for the carriage to come up before loading them on the carriage. I don't know."  What do you think, general?" Wang Shuang looked around at the ranks behind him and saw that none of the soldiers were clean.  And their faces showed great exhaustion. The long journey these days was indeed enough for them, so they couldn't help but said softly: "That's all!" The corps commander received the order,  He immediately went back and ordered his subordinates to follow his suggestion. First, lift the heavy objects off the carriage, and then load the heavy objects onto the carriage after the carriage was freed.  The soldiers worked together in pairs to carry a heavy elm box, and one of them just took it over.  He felt that the box was extremely heavy, and he couldn't help but said: "What's in it? Why is it so heavy" "Stop talking, don't talk too much, and get to work quickly." The corps leader scolded.  The soldier closed his mouth and stopped talking. However, due to the excessive physical exertion these days, he could no longer hold on. He tilted his body and fell into the mud. The big elm box he was carrying  Because of this, he fell to the ground. It didn't matter if he fell. The contents of the box rolled down and scattered all over the floor. After everyone saw it, they all froze in place. They couldn't believe it.  Eye.  In the mud, there are glittering things everywhere, including gold ingots and gold ornaments. Anyway, no matter what they are, they are made of gold.  This box of things was exposed in front of everyone's eyes, like a pot exploding, and they couldn't cover it up. More and more people gathered here, and they all saw the contents of this box with their own eyes.  Coincidentally, not far from here, a cry of "Herodus" suddenly came out, and the war horse let out a tragic roar and fell weakly into the mud. The surrounding soldiers failed to control the carriage for a moment, and the whole vehicle  The carts overturned in the mud, and the dozen or so large elm boxes loaded on the carts were also knocked over on the ground. The golden light made people's eyes hurt, and they piled up into a small hill.  "Asshole! What did you do!" When Wang Shuang saw such a scene, he didn't want to explain so much, because the facts were already in front of everyone. Many soldiers looked at each other in confusion, and finally focused their attention.  When he stood on the big elm boxes, his eyes were filled with golden light.  ¡°Suddenly, who was not known to be the first one to open the big elm box on his own initiative, a box of gold and silver jewelry was revealed in front of his eyes, and the surrounding soldiers all let out a burst of surprise.  Immediately afterwards, one after another, the large elm boxes were opened privately by the soldiers. No matter how loud Wang Shuang's voice was to stop them, it was of no avail. They could not withstand the excitement of the soldiers when they saw the gold and silver jewelry.  When all the boxes were opened, the soldiers finally realized that the things they were transporting were not baggage, but gold, silver and jewelry!  After the brief surprise, all that was left was silence. They still couldn¡¯t figure out how to get along with them day and night.?General, why didn't you say what they were transporting.  With suspicion in his eyes, under the gaze of everyone, Wang Shuang rode his war horse up a high slope. He first looked around at the soldiers with sharp eyes, and then shouted: "I'm sorry for not being able to tell you what you are doing."  What is being transported, but I don¡¯t tell you for your own good, because I am afraid that you will be fascinated by this wealth. This wealth was given to me by the Lord for safekeeping. You have all seen it.  With such a huge amount of wealth, no matter who owns it, anyone can become as rich as the country. This is what the Lord left behind to recruit soldiers and horses. He does not want to hide it privately for his own use, so we must protect it.  The gold, silver and jewels will be delivered safely to Anding County and handed over to Ma Gang. We will also stay in Anding and wait for the return of the lord. As long as the lord returns, we can use this wealth to expand the army and even fight with the entire court.  "Although the soldiers are not Wang Shuang's old troops, and the sources of troops are also very complicated, they have been trained by Wang Shuang to be very obedient. Although they are dissatisfied with Wang Shuang's concealment of the transportation of gold and silver jewelry,  But not enough to rebel like others.  On the contrary, after they knew the truth of the matter, they strengthened their confidence. Everyone secretly swore in their hearts that they must transport these gold and silver jewelry to Anding.  The soldiers are all self-aware and know that these gold, silver and jewels do not belong to them. Even if they are greedy, they will never take them away, but they will be killed.  Therefore, the soldiers all maintained a normal mind and looked at this matter normally.  This incident was just a small episode during the march of Wang Shuang and others. There were no accidents. After Wang Shuang's subordinates all learned about what they were transporting, they became more cautious, fearing that something unexpected would happen.  After entering the plains, Wang Shuang's army marched much faster, several times as fast as in the mountains. They traveled non-stop all the way, covering more than thirty miles in one day.  In the evening, it was getting dark and everyone was exhausted. Wang Shuang ordered the scouts to find an abandoned village as a temporary resting place, where they could rest for the night before setting off on the road again the next morning.  At the same time, the armies of Yang Fu, Yang Qiu, and Cheng Yi had already arrived in Jicheng. After experiencing several wars, Jicheng had already become dilapidated. The county seat had also been destroyed. In the past, it was prosperous.  The place is now very desolate, and 10% of the county's population has also moved away. Although there has been some recovery after the war, it is no longer what it used to be.  Yang Fu rode his war horse, and all he encountered along the way were desolate scenes. The scenery of Jicheng in the past had long since disappeared.  "Alas!" Yang Fu couldn't help but sigh after seeing these scenes.  Yang Qiu, who was traveling with him, heard Yang Fu's sigh and asked, "Why are you sighing, good brother?" "More than ten years ago, this place was still a prosperous scene, but now, looking around, it is full of devastation. Liangzhou  If there is no peace for one day, the current situation in Jicheng will be like that of other counties in Liangzhou, or even worse!" Yang Fudao said.  Yang Qiu is also from Liangzhou. He also came to Jicheng more than ten years ago and saw the prosperity of Jicheng. At that time, Jicheng was a pearl of Liangzhou. No matter from every aspect, it was  It is not inferior to the cities in the Central Plains, and Jicheng is also the only way to pass through the Silk Road. The place where merchants gather is even more prosperous.  But the good times did not last long. Just two or three years later, wars began to break out in Liangzhou. The wars have continued intermittently to this day. The wars are still ongoing and everything is uneasy.  "I hope we can achieve great success this time. Only then can we restore peace to Liangzhou!" Yang Qiudao.  "Sir, we are not far from Shehu Valley. We will arrive there in twenty miles." A scout rushed over and interrupted Yang Qiu and Yang Fu's hesitation.  Yang Fu nodded and said nothing. Cheng Yi on the side asked worriedly: "Prefect Yang, do you think Wang Shuang can really walk into Shehu Valley?".  "The terrain of Shehu Valley is steep and it is very easy to lay an ambush. As a native of Liangzhou, few people would not know this. Would Wang Shuang really be stupid enough to take this road? You know, he could have walked on a flat plain.  Wouldn't it be quicker to reach stability?" Yang Qiu also had the same question.  Yang Fu sneered and said: "Who said Wang Shuang was stupid? If Wang Shuang was really stupid, then we wouldn't have been defeated last time. However, it was precisely because of the ambush last time that Wang Shuang did not dare to go as far as possible.  They need to go through the Shehu Valley to avoid being tracked by the army and avoid the eyes and ears. Don't forget that the other end of the Shehu Valley is connected to the Wei River. Whether they want to go through the Shehu Valley or the plain, they have to cross it.  Weishui River can reach stability, sinceTo cross the river, they must choose a more secluded place, so this place must be Shehu Valley!  "After Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi listened, they felt that what Yang Fu said was very reasonable and stopped asking any more questions. Yang Fu secretly shouted in his heart: "Wang Shuang, Shehu Valley is your burial place!  If I don't kill you, how can I avenge my Yang family?  "(To be continued) 809 gold and silver treasures:
