King Xiang's momentum lasted only a few days, and Daxing's troops came much faster than expected, and King Xiang's forces around Xiangyang were greatly limited, and his powerful firearms and ammunition were on the verge of exhaustion.

Mei Jiu fortunately heard the wind and returned to King Xiang's side, he said, "Your Highness, don't worry, our top priority is to quickly arrive at another powder magazine, get gunpowder, everything is ready, and go straight to the capital!" ”

Mei Jiu has been following the longing side since he was a child, starting from a small house, all the way to the present, the chief steward who prepared weapons for King Xiang, after King Xiang rebelled, he wanted to make him the marshal of soldiers and horses, but he declined, "The villain should only do all the food and ammunition for His Royal Highness, and he must not be worthy of the title of marshal of soldiers and horses!" ”

King Xiang believed in him, more than his own siblings, he patted Mei Jiu, "Only you know where the gunpowder is hiding, give you 3,000 elite soldiers immediately, be sure to break out of the encirclement and take out the gunpowder!" ”

Mei Jiu kowtowed to receive the order, "The minister will not disgrace his mission!" ”

Those firearms were raised by King Xiang during the years when he was preparing for the incident, Mei Jiu tried his best to raise them, especially the last batch, stolen from the firearms camp of the Fujian Guard, hid all the way to Tibet, and worked hard to help them solve Yu Gong as a reward, if it wasn't for the person who promised to supply them, Mei Jiu would not have distributed the firearms to the bandit surnamed Xiong, which led Zuo Xun to touch his tail.

But Jiang is still old and spicy, what if Zuo Xun's kid touched his tail, although Mei Jiu took a lot of effort, but in the end he threw Zuo Xun off.

This is what he deserves to be cautious for many years, and being careful to make the ship of ten thousand years is Mei Jiu's code of conduct from beginning to end.

Mei Jiu divided the 3,000 elite soldiers into three parts, and brought the elite soldiers among the 20 elite soldiers himself, first to determine the location of the firearms, and then let the remaining elite soldiers go to the firearms in three roundabouts, and converge at the same time, so as to disperse the forces of the imperial court, so as not to be discovered by the imperial court in the direction they were going, and they took precautions in advance, and the firearms fell into the hands of the enemy.

After making these arrangements, Mei Jiu took twenty people to carefully find out the Xiangyang area that night.

There were wars and strife everywhere, and the twenty people left like mud cows into the sea, and no one could find out.

And just as Mei Jiu rushed to the firearm hiding place, a group of people were already wandering around there.

Zuo Xun never cut off his pursuit of Mei Jiu, but when he was in hot pursuit, Mei Jiu suddenly heard the wind and turned to Xiangyang. Zuo Xun saw the opportunity and transferred his investigation to be carried out secretly.

He also divided into two groups, one in the light and the other in the dark, the people on the bright road were still wandering thousands of miles away, and the people on the dark road had already discovered this place, which was where Mei Jiu's firearms were hiding.

This is a small county town at the foot of the mountain, the small county town is located in a remote area, but it is at the junction of the two provinces, Mei Jiu chose this place, and hid the firearms in the small county town while people were unprepared, Zuo Xun can be sure that it must be here, but where it is, he doesn't know.

Nearly a month of searching fruitless, Zuo Xun couldn't help but be anxious, the court sent troops to encircle and suppress King Xiang, Zuo Xun knew that King Xiang could not succeed in rebellion, but he wanted to find that batch of firearms before the court defeated King Xiang, to solve this huge hidden danger.

King Xiang has no firearms, like a toothless tiger, and will only be quickly defeated.

This father hesitated, and he actively fought for the task, Zuo Xun didn't want to miss it, he didn't want to miss the first place in the wine invitation, on the contrary, he wanted to win, after the death of the eldest brother, his grandfather was old, and his father was always worried that when the Zuo family had no successor, he would prove it to his father.

Zuo Xun personally led people to search every corner of the county, but he never found it.

At this time, the news came, and King Xiang's existing firearms were exhausted. As soon as Zuo Xun heard it, he knew that the opportunity had come. King Xiang will definitely not give up, and Mei Jiu is the only person who knows where the firearm is, and King Xiang will definitely let Mei Jiu come and take the firearm!

Zuo Xun became excited, but he didn't rejoice too early, and asked all his subordinates to stop searching in the county seat, he wanted to wait for Mei Jiu to come over and determine the location of the firearm!

But Mei Jiu arrived near this county seat, but suddenly slowed down, Zuo Xun saw that his route was clear, and he did go straight to this place, but not far from the county seat, but the line turned sharply and went to Linxian.

Some of his subordinates doubted, "Shaodong, we haven't found it for so long, could it be that it is not in this county at all, but in Linxian County?" ”

Zuo Xun didn't respond immediately, since he found this county instead of Linxian, it was definitely not Mei Jiu who was fooling him, on the contrary, Mei Jiu's route all the way was to this place, and he turned to Linxian when he was closer, isn't it suspicious?

Zuo Xun didn't dare to act rashly, if he asked people to go to Linxian to chase Mei Jiu's movements, he would inevitably startle the snake, and now King Xiang has reached the point where he must have firearms to supplement the assistance, Mei Jiu must have come to take away the firearms, and Mei Jiu and his people, Zuo Xun has been dealing with them openly and secretly for so many years, and finally has some understanding.

"Don't move, wait all, Mei Jiu must be doing a trick!"

Mei Jiu was very cautious, at this time, Mei Jiu might guess that someone was secretly spying on him, so he would definitely not be able to go directly to the place where the firearms were stored.

Moreover, after Mei Jiu, there are still 3,000 elite soldiers who break through in three ways, if Zuo Xun is right, then these people are here to assist Mei Jiu in escorting firearms.

Therefore, it is impossible for Mei Jiu to arrive at the real firearms storage site too early, once the real location is exposed, and the follow-up troops do not arrive, then Mei Jiu misses and King Xiang is defeated.

Zuo Xun made such a decision, he didn't close his eyes all night, and on the second day, Mei Jiu's men continued to walk, swept past the county that Zuo Xun was guarding, and continued to go north.

All the people under him couldn't understand, "Shaodong, are we all mistaken?" Firearms are not here at all? ”

Zuo Xun looked at Mei Jiu's route on the map, and his subordinates clenched tightly.

Someone still suggested chasing him as soon as possible, "If he arrives at the firearms storage point, as soon as the three thousand elite soldiers behind arrive, we will have no chance!" ”

Why doesn't Zuo Xun know? But he looked at the route over and over again, raised his hand and stabilized his men, "Don't move, keep waiting!" ”

However, at the end of the day, Mei Jiu's men and horses suddenly turned around in the county not far to the north, and turned back.

Zuo Xun's subordinates were all shocked, but Zuo Shaodong's family let out a long breath.

He carefully arranged the manpower, "We don't have much time, we have to take Mei Jiu to lead people to the firearms field, and the three thousand elite soldiers have not yet arrived, success or failure is here!" ”

It's just that there is no shortage of people under him who have doubts, "Could it be that Mei Jiu's trick again?" ”

Zuo Xun smiled, "No." Mei Jiu's caution in the first two times has been exchanged for confidence this time, and we must have waited for it this time! ”
