"You've been controlled, you can't escape, don't move."

"Death to the rioters."

"Cooperate well, and you can still live."

Zhao Yun: They lit a lot of torches, and there was already a fire here.

The fire in the desert is very important, and there are wild wolves here, and if the wild wolves attack, they can also use fire to deal with them.

Soon the camp was controlled by Zhao Yun and them.

Zhao Yun unarmed them all and killed hundreds of people.

At the time of the impact, someone resisted and killed directly.

In this desert, killing a group of people can also reduce the burden, not to mention some people who do not cooperate.

The rest didn't dare to resist, and Zhao Yun easily controlled them.

After controlling it, Zhao Yun let two-thirds of the people control the materials, and a small number of people control the enemy.

In the desert, as long as the supplies are controlled, they will never dare to move if they can't get them.

Zhao Yun arranged two teams of 100 people to keep vigil, one in the first half of the night and one in the second half of the night.

The team of 100 people is enough, the enemy has no weapons, it is impossible to solve them in an instant, if they dare to move, Zhao Yun and their weapons are beside them, they are all vigilant people, and they can kill them by jumping up.

"Rest quickly and recover your strength as soon as possible."

After Zhao Yun finished arranging, he also hurried to sleep.

It was dawn again, and as the night passed, the enemy did not dare to move.

Zhao Yun didn't let people set off immediately, but went to get their own supplies back.

After some arrangement, Zhao Yun and the others did not set off until noon.

The materials were also transported by the original people, but at night they were controlled by Zhao Yun and them.

There are five days left until the next stronghold.

Zhao Yun continued to set off with someone disguised as Ma Teng.

"General, there are only two days left, our team is too large, I am afraid that there will be chaos at that time."

Zhao Yun walked and looked back at the very large team.

This team has a lot of flaws, and it is indeed prone to problems.

"Keep walking for the day."

Another day?

Several young generals didn't speak, and Zhao Yun had already ordered, so let's go for another day.

A day later, it was already close to the stronghold.

"Leave a day's supplies for Ma Teng's people, let them stay where they are, and then come back to pick them up when they have settled the stronghold in front." Zhao Yun ordered.

Only give them one day's supplies, they will definitely not go back, going back is a dead end.

If you go forward, you can live, but you also have to accept Zhao Yun's control.

Zhao Yun and the others continued to walk forward, thousands of people were left behind, they still had supplies, and Zhao Yun only left a hundred people to take care of them.

These hundred people watched them from afar, as long as they didn't fight, they didn't loot supplies, as for them to escape, they could, just don't go forward and ruin Zhao Yun's big thing.

In fact, he was not afraid of them moving forward, at the beginning, these soldiers were well guarded, and they didn't care about them until Zhao Yun and they left for an hour and a half.

For an hour and a half, they didn't think that the people who escaped didn't have camels and could make a detour to Zhao Yun and their informants.

It's impossible.

Zhao Yun and the others continued to set off, this time they controlled the distance, and when they approached the stronghold, there were still two hours before it was dark.

A large group of people came over with a large amount of supplies, and after approaching, the people in these strongholds were not prepared at all.

Some people also came out to greet Zhao Yun and them.

For the entire handover process, Zhao Yun and the others interrogated the prisoners in batches, and they had already made it very clear.

"Supplies are finally here, but it's too much."

"Yes, the caravans haven't come here recently, and now they still bring so many supplies."

"Do you really want to let people from the West come over?"

"Let's leave that alone."

Zhao Yun and the others were welcomed in.

It seems to be a small village, built on an oasis.

There are some houses that are protected from wood, stones, and dirt.

There's fresh water, there's wood, there's a lot of food.

In fact, there are not many people in this stronghold, only more than 500 people in total, and even more than 100 people when there are few.

There is no need for so many people here, because when there are more people, the burden here is heavy.

When he came in, Zhao Yun saw many people holding weapons on guard, but their numbers were too small.

"Don't move."

"Whoever moves, dies."

"Put down all your weapons, our Tang army."

"You're already surrounded, and none of you can escape."

After entering, I suddenly started and easily controlled this place.

The stronghold is controlled, and the rest is simple.

After some inventory, there is still a lot of food here, enough for tens of thousands of people to use it at one time.

There is a lot of food, and there is water in the oasis.

This time, a lot of charcoal was transported.

There is a lack of wood here, so it is best to bring charcoal over.

Of course, this time a lot of food was replenished.

"How much food, this Ma Teng, I don't know how long it has been preparing."

It costs a lot to transport tens of thousands of people's food, and in the desert, transporting a hundred catties of grain, if you can get here and store it, there may be only a dozen catties left, and most of them are consumed on the road.

Still, Ma Teng took control of the place.

"Put enough liquor around the grain and grass, and burn it all when needed." Zhao Yun first asked the soldiers to prepare, and once they couldn't do it, they were ready to set fire.

The liquor is ready first, but Zhao Yun They won't burn this place so quickly, and they don't even plan to burn here, and now they still have to use it.

The next step is to arrange these captives.

Thousands of captives, plus thousands of them themselves, is a huge burden here.

There are too many people, and the daily consumption is massive.

"General, we only have two options now, the first is to kill them all, and the second is to let them go back with their supplies." A junior said.

"There is no need to keep so many people here, they don't have many strongholds, you take 2,000 people back with them, and on the way back, you will destroy two more strongholds, but be careful, these strongholds will be burned, but you must secretly hide a batch of food and water for us."

On the way, Zhao Yun and the others had already thought about it.

These people Zhao Yun didn't want to kill, but he couldn't stay, let them go back and take the opportunity to destroy the other strongholds on the road.

Heading west, it would take a few days for the next stronghold, but Zhao Yun and the others didn't want to go to the west again.

This is probably the middle of the east-west exchange, and Zhao Yun plans to do it here.

As long as this is solved and the middle is broken, they are not prepared, and the team that comes, don't think about going back.

Zhao Yun easily controlled this stronghold, and the next thing was to wait.

They have enough food and grass to live here for a long time.

"We are all ready, and if things don't go well, we also have enough supplies to go back."

After Zhao Yun took control of the stronghold, he began to prepare.

There are a lot of supplies here.
