Chapter 330: Shanyue looted, Danyang asked for help
Yangzhou.
With the help of Liu Ba and the shopkeeper Li of the Yangzhou branch, 100 graduates of the Hanzhong Vocational Training School who came to Yangzhou have established eight Hanzhong branches and 92 production bases in the eight counties of Yangzhou: Danyang County, Wu County, Huiji County, Xindu County, Luling County, Jian'an County, Dongyang County and Dong'an County.
On this day, the Danyang County Branch was transporting a batch of newly produced goods from the production base to Huiji County.
Since there are not as many raw materials for local production in Huiji County as in Danyang County, it is necessary to mobilize some goods from Danyang County.
Since the population of Yangzhou counties is not very large, only the main road leading to other counties and the main road leading to the counties in the county are built cement straights.
This is also because at the time of the Chibi War, Sun Quan had recklessly used the youth of the entire Yangzhou and other states, after all, if he won the Battle of Chibi, then Dongwu would have everything, and it would be useless to lose the battle with a large population.
Therefore, Yangzhou's population is at the bottom of the state, and the only ones with a smaller population than Yangzhou are Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, which are further south.
The caravan of the Danyang branch departed from the production base of Danyang County, transporting goods to the Huiji County branch, and the number of guards responsible for escorting was not very large.
Twenty guards escorted ten wagons full of merchandise as they slowly drove up the concrete straight road to Huiji County.
At the foot of a mountain that the caravan was about to arrive, more than 100 Shanyue warriors were observing the caravan of the Hanzhong branch under the cover of trees.
"My lord, we have been observing for more than a month, and this Hanzhong Branch Caravan from Danyang County to Huiji County will come and go every ten days!"
A Sanyue warrior whispered to the leader beside him.
"What are they transporting?"
The small leader of the Shanyue asked in a low voice to the Shanyue warriors beside him.
"There was grain, cloth, iron farming tools, and beautiful glass cups and glass mirrors!"
The Shanyue warrior who was in charge of observing the caravan of the Hanzhong branch said excitedly to the leader that this was the news he had found when he disguised himself as a farmer who went up the mountain to chop firewood and begged the chamber of commerce for water to drink.
"Good!"
After hearing the answer of the Shanyue warriors, the small leader of Shanyue smiled with great satisfaction.
This time, it was precisely because of the weather change in Danyang Shanyue during the autumn harvest that their harvest this year was not as good as in previous years, so Fei Jun, the leader of Danyang Shanyue, wanted to pay attention to the Hanzhong Branch.
These more than 100 Shanyue soldiers were preparing to rob the transport team of the Danyang County Branch.
"When they come to the foot of the mountain, a team of fifty people, outflanking this transport team before and after, try not to kill people if they can, and it is best to drive away the caravan guards!"
Then the little leader of Danyang Shanyue said to the more than 100 Danyang Shanyue soldiers under his command.
The soldiers of Danyang Shanyue did not make a sound when they heard this, and they all nodded to the little leader of Danyang Shanyue.
Seeing that his order was ready to be conveyed, the little leader of Danyang Shanyue stared at the Danyang County Branch Transport Team that was slowly driving towards the foot of the mountain.
"Brothers! Rush with me! ”
The captain of the transport convoy of the Danyang Branch, when he was approaching the foot of the mountain in front of him, suddenly heard a shout!
Then, more than 100 Danyang Shanyue warriors who were hiding in the bushes at the foot of the mountain, with swords in hand, roared and rushed towards the transport convoy.
"Assemble! It's Shanyue people! ”
After a moment of stunnedness, the leader of the guard immediately shouted to the other chamber of commerce guards behind him, and the coachmen in the carriage of the transport convoy were very frightened and waiting for what would happen next.
Before the Shanyue warriors rushed to the transport convoy from the foot of the mountain, twenty chamber guards had already assembled.
The leader of the guards looked at the Shanyue warriors, who were more than a hundred people, and knew that with them, these twenty people would definitely not be able to defeat them.
So the leader of the guard shouted again to all the drivers of the convoy: "I don't want the goods, get on the horses of the guards!" Let's go back to the Danyang branch! ”
Hearing this, the panicked coachmen threw down the carriage full of goods one after another, ran to the nearest chamber of commerce guard, and then got on the horse and rode together, and then fled to the Danyang County branch under the leadership of the head of the guard.
At this time, the head of the guard did not have the slightest sense of guilt in his heart to give up the goods of the branch, because whether it was Liu Ba, the shopkeeper Li of the Yangzhou branch, and the shopkeepers of the county branches, they would explain to the guards of the Hanzhong branch that when someone blocked the road and looted the goods of the chamber of commerce, if they could not be defeated, they would take saving their lives as the first priority.
The Danyang Shanyue warriors who rushed from the foot of the mountain, except for making the momentum very loud, were actually not fast, and they were not so extravagant that everyone had horses to ride.
And they didn't plan to kill anyone, just giving the Chamber of Commerce guards a chance to escape.
The small leader of Danyang Shanyue and his soldiers who were in charge of this raid quickly surrounded the ten carriages of the Danyang branch transporting goods.
"Hahaha, this time not only did I get ten carts of goods, but also twenty horses!
When we return to the mountain, the leader will reward us with a lot of rewards! ”
Before he could check the goods in front of him, the little leader laughed out loud at his soldiers.
More than 100 Danyang Shanyue soldiers also cheered when they heard this, and felt that the things of the Hanzhong Branch were too easy to grab, and the guards of the caravan also ran away as soon as they were frightened, and suddenly felt that the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce was nothing more than that.
After everyone cheered, the little leader of Danyang Shanyue came to the carriage full of goods and began to inspect the goods in the carriage one by one.
"Rice, iron farm tools, and this glass cup and glass mirror are all good things that are needed on the mountain, hahaha!"
After inspecting the goods on the carriage, the little leader of Danyang Shanyue was even more excited.
"And then! This time you kid has made a meritorious service, this is a reward for you! ”
A glass cup and a copper glass mirror were thrown by the small leader of Danyang Shanyue to the Shanyue soldier who was in charge of observing the Danyang Branch's transport convoy.
When the Shanyue warrior took the exquisitely shaped glass cup and the crystal mirror, a smile of surprise suddenly appeared on the whole face.
Then all the Danyang Shanyue soldiers began to return to the camp in the mountains with this batch of goods.
At the same time that Danyang Shanyue returned to the camp, the twenty convoy guards and ten coachmen who fled for their lives on the spot also returned to the Danyang branch.
The shopkeeper of the Danyang branch was a student who graduated from Hanzhong Vocational Training College, and his young face was slowly full of anger at this time.
"These Danyang Shanyue people are so bold!"
After listening to the report of the head of the guard, the shopkeeper of the Danyang branch shouted angrily.
Then he reassured the guards and coachmen, bluntly saying that this time there were no casualties, and it was not a big deal to be robbed of some goods.
After the guards and coachmen left, the shopkeeper of the Danyang branch began to write a letter to the shopkeeper Li of the Yangzhou branch, explaining that the goods of the Danyang branch had been looted by the Shanyue people, and asked the Yangzhou branch for help.
