Chapter 58: Making a Small Fortune

The bandits on the road were exterminated, and it was already dark by this time.

Zhang Yu first asked Ling Cao to count the casualties, but only a dozen people were injured, and none were killed.

This is mainly because this gang of bandits is so bad, they were attacked by a sneak attack, and they didn't even resist, many of them were farmers who had just put down their hoes, they had no training, they hadn't killed anyone, this reaction was normal.

After more than half an hour, the results were counted.

"Lord, this thief can really rob it, I just let people count it, there are three carts of grain, and the most important thing is that there is half a cart of property, which is worth about 50,000 copper coins, and about 200 other weapons of various types have been seized." Ling Cao said.

"Okay, this bandit is really rich, this time it will be enough for us to eat for a month."

Hearing Ling Cao's words, Zhang Yu knew that the way to fight the bandits was the right one.

Not to mention the three carts of food, let's just say that these belongings are enough for Zhang Yu's expenses for nearly a month.

What Zhang Yu didn't know was that these thieves happened to be the time for them to go down the mountain to collect the money.

Every month, these bandits will go to the nearby villages on a fixed day to collect money and grain, and the village bandits who pay will not rob them, and if they do not comply, the bandits will rob them.

It's just that they didn't expect that after going out for a few days, they collected money from a few villages, and before they could bring it back, they were robbed by Zhang Yu on the way.

"The corpse will be disposed of tomorrow, leave a few people to hide these belongings, guard them, and we will exterminate the bandits on Baiyun Mountain and bring them back together."

Just exterminated the bandits and made a small fortune, so Zhang Yu set his sights on the bandits on the mountain.

The bandits on the mountain have existed for a long time, and they will definitely be even richer, how could Zhang Yu let it go.

And after investigation, there were not many people on it, more than 700 people, and more than 300 people were exterminated by Zhang Yu and them, and there were fewer than them.

Zhang Yu asked people to bring some bandit clothes, and then returned the same way.

Find Xiang Hai and let him lead the way.

Zhang Yu and the others deliberately only lit a few torches, and they couldn't see the whole picture clearly, and the thieves on the mountain didn't know that it was them.

The bandits on the mountain thought they were coming back from an outing, and they didn't take it seriously.

Several of the thieves guarding the mountain gate didn't take it seriously at all, and even talked about how much they could gain this time.

Zhang Yu and the others quietly went up the mountain, and the more than 100 people in front of them were all dressed in yellow scarves.

The people behind did not raise torches, and the bandits could not see clearly, so they were completely defenseless.

Zhang Yu and Ling Cao were also in front, mixed among the "bandits".

Approaching the mountain gate, a few thieves came up to greet them with a smile, wanting to see how many good things they had brought up this time.

"Poof~"

A few people had just approached, and suddenly several knives shot at the same time, and several people were cut down without hurrying to hand over the sound.

"Let's go, go up a few people, and open the mountain gate." Zhang Yu whispered.

Soon the wooden mountain gate was opened, and Zhang Yu led the people to move forward quickly.

"Who are you?" Soon after entering, some bandits noticed the anomaly and shouted.

"Kill."

has already entered the mountain gate, there is no need to hide, Zhang Yu roared, and led people to start rushing to kill.

A dozen patrolling bandits were cut down at once.

"Ling Cao, lead people to attack from the left." Zhang Yu picked up a thief and said to Ling Cao.

Ling Cao got the order and led people to kill him from the left side.

There are a lot of houses built here, and at this time it is dark, and many thieves gather together to drink or play money, and when Zhang Yu and they killed, everyone did not react.

Zhang Yu led people to rush to kill, saw the room, and kicked it in directly, and most of the thieves were hacked and killed before they could react.

It took a while to kill the whole den of thieves.

They ran out of the house, but they were too scattered to form combat effectiveness, and they were also cut down by Zhang Yu and them.

Rushing and killing for a while, most of the area was controlled by Zhang Yu and them, even if there were bandits inside, they couldn't be organized, and the bandits who couldn't be organized, no matter how many people there were, it was useless, not to mention that there weren't many of them anymore.

"A group of several people, house by house, searching, resisting, killing."

After a sweep, the remaining more than 30 bandits were also found.

Of these bandits, only a small number of them are real bandits, and more of them are farmers who put down their farm tools and do not have much combat effectiveness.

Zhang Yu didn't expect it to be so smooth, after they attacked, the other party was completely defenseless, and then Zhang Yu and they occupied various important places, blocking them in the room separately, unable to unite.

"Is the count out?" Zhang Yu looked around, found nothing, and then enjoyed the results.

Ling Cao asked more than thirty captives to be taken care of, and then came over and said to Zhang Yu: "I have counted a part, two warehouses of grain, it is estimated that there are dozens of carts, and there are a lot of property, at least 100,000 yuan, but there are still many areas that have not been searched. ”

The wealth of hundreds of thousands is enough for Zhang Yu to use it for a long time, and of course he is satisfied.

In this battle, a few soldiers were killed, although it is a pity, but it is the most normal thing to die in battle.

"Report, lord, I found a secret room of the bandits, and a batch of gold and silver was found inside." A soldier ran over and reported.

Finding the secret room is to find a treasure, Zhang Yu hurried over to take a look.

It is said that it is a secret room, but in fact, it is just a larger cellar.

A collection of valuables was found inside, including antique jewelry, as well as a lot of gold and silver.

Zhang Yu ordered people to take out all the belongings inside, and then began to count.

"Lord, the property here is conservatively estimated to be worth 200,000." Ling Cao said happily.

"Ling Cao, this small group of thieves actually has so much wealth, where did they get all this money from? Grab them all? Zhang Yu suddenly felt that this was too easy to do as a bandit, and more than seven hundred bandits actually had so much wealth.

However, Zhang Yu didn't have time to investigate carefully, and ordered someone to clean up the battlefield, and the most important thing was to bury the body.

After some tidying, when it was almost dawn, Zhang Yu led the team and transported the belongings and food back.

chose to go back before dawn in order to keep a low profile, Zhang Yu didn't want to expose his strength so quickly.

After these families discovered Zhang Yu's strength, they were powerless to change, and they could only be slaughtered when the time came.

After going back, Zhang Yu asked people to sort their belongings and food.

"Ling Cao, now that you have money and food, you still need to continue to recruit troops and buy horses, you continue to do this, I will go back and replace the weapons with standard weapons." After going back, Zhang Yu said to Ling Cao.

handed over the general military affairs to Ling Cao, Zhang Yu returned to the city, and after he returned, he called Zhang Zhao and Xi Zhicai.

"The victory in the battle has temporarily solved the financial crisis, and the next step is to take advantage of the victory to expand the results." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Zhao and Xi Zhicai both agreed with Zhang Yu's idea.

"At present, there are still some problems, Zibu, I will allocate you some money, you organize a group of craftsmen to build your own weapons, our previous weapons are too large and complicated, and they must be replaced with standard weapons. Zhicai, I will allocate you a little people and some money, you have to establish our intelligence organization as soon as possible, we can't do without information sources. ”

Zhang Zhao and Xi Zhicai hugged their fists and promised, Zhang Yu ordered some more things, and then went to various things.
