Chapter 142: Barricade and robbery
After entering this buffer zone, Zhou Yang also understood why a buffer zone could be formed here.
Emotionally speaking, this place can be said to be a bird that does not.
No one lives here at all.
A piece of the Gobi Desert was followed by a mountain forest, and then a Gobi Desert.
In such a place, ordinary people do not want to come and live in it, and even if they take these lands into their own hands, it is just a waste.
After all, you have to send officials and soldiers to guard the town, and you spend so much food and grass to win, but in the end you get nothing.
Here are just some caravans from time to time, although the two countries of Qin and Wei are in full swing, but they do not delay the private caravans to trade with each other.
So there are a lot of bandits gathered here.
Not to mention that these bandits can make a lot of money just by robbing caravans back and forth.
Even sometimes, even the officers and soldiers of Qin and Wei would pretend to be bandits to rob each other's caravans.
Therefore, Zhou Yang was also very cautious when he traveled along the way, after all, his team was too long.
Coupled with the supplies sent by King Wei, there were more than 100 vehicles, which were pulled up front and back, nearly a thousand meters long.
However, he only has more than 200 capable fighters under his command, and it is still difficult to closely protect this nearly 1,000-meter team with more than 200 people.
Fortunately, there is no end to the sight of this Gobi Desert, even if someone wants to think crookedly, you can see it from afar.
However, after entering the mountains and forests, the situation is a little less optimistic.
The forest road is winding and densely wooded, and it is impossible to see the surroundings clearly.
Even if there is a group of people hiding next to you, ten meters away, you may not be able to find it.
"Don't let any bandits pop up on this road!"
Liu Qian'er followed Zhou Yang while looking around cautiously.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise at the front of the line.
Zhou Yang glanced at Liu Qian'er helplessly, it seems that this girl is really a crow's mouth, what is she talking about.
At the same time as the noise in front of the line, there was also a noise in the back of the line.
It seems that there are really bandits, and they are directly blocked on both sides.
But in this case, there is no way to go back and forth, because the team is too long, nearly a thousand meters long, and it is still on this winding mountain road.
Even if the two sides want to open up the stance, they can't show their efforts in this place.
At this time, Zhao Wuyang, also relying on his light skills, went back and forth on the branches, and jumped to Zhou Yang's side.
He had an anxious look on his face.
"No, Your Highness the Seventh, there is a group of bandits rushing towards both sides of us."
"And looking at them like that, there are thousands of people, as if several waves of bandits have gathered together."
"With so much grain and grass on this mountain road, as well as vehicles and craftsmen, the elderly, the weak, women and children need to be protected, and the brothers can't do it at all."
Zhao Wuyang's face was full of anxious looks.
He had been in the Qin State before, so he naturally knew something about bandits in this kind of place.
These bandits are extremely cunning, and it is simply easy to deal with such a large transportation team, blocking both ends, and then emerging from the mountains and forests to grab these transportation teams.
No matter how many people on the other side are in this situation, they cannot effectively organize a counterattack.
Hearing what Zhao Wuyang said, Zhou Yang thought for a while, and finally threw the weapon in his hand directly on the ground.
"Pass the order, everyone put down their weapons and surrender directly!"
"Tell those bandits, as long as they are willing to let us live, a million taels of silver will be given at that time."
Hearing Zhou Yang say this, Zhao Wuyang was stunned for a moment.
He thought that Zhou Yang would be able to come up with any good idea, but he didn't expect Zhou Yang to be such a bachelor, and he was about to surrender directly.
You must know that when attacking Luoguo, those people were extremely elite guards, and Zhou Yang didn't have the slightest fright.
However, when he got here, Zhou Yang, a bandit who faced thousands of people, was about to surrender, which also made Zhao Wuyang feel incomprehensible no matter what.
He didn't understand what Zhou Yang was having?
"Your Highness the Seventh, even if there is no way to deal with these bandits for the time being, I have to protect you and leave here quickly."
"You know, if these bandits find out that what we're bringing is valuable, they'll definitely keep people as hostages."
"When the time comes, Your Highness the Seventh, even you will be caught in the cottage of these bandits."
"Your Highness, I'll protect you from here first!"
Saying that, Zhao Wuyang was about to protect Zhou Yang and leave, but Zhou Yang waved his hand without hesitation
"As I said just now, let the brothers surrender, and I will accompany the brothers to surrender together, remember to let everyone grit their teeth and never reveal any identity."
Seeing that Zhou Yang was so resolute, Zhao Wuyang had no choice.
He could only take out a short bamboo pipe and put it in his mouth, and whistled loudly, his whistle was long and short, as if he was passing on some news.
Soon the whole team heard the whistle, and then they put down their weapons and stopped resisting.
Seeing that these people stopped resisting, a group of bandits came out of the mountain forest next to them, and looked at Zhou Yang and them with smug faces.
"Hey, I really didn't expect to catch such a big fish today."
A one-eyed dragon bandit stepped forward and looked at the carts in front of him.
At this time, a little minion also actively stepped forward to open the box on the car, but after opening the box, he was stunned.
Directly, the chest was full of gold and silver treasures.
He pinched his arm in disbelief, and there was a painful sound of inhaling cool air.
After confirming that he was not dreaming, he followed and opened the second and third wooden boxes.
In addition to the gold and silver treasures that appeared in front of me, the rest was the grain.
This made these bandits go crazy all at once, and they couldn't believe that they could receive so many things, a whole hundred cars, just one time.
"It seems that God really took care of us this time!"
"I didn't expect to catch a big fish, even if it was a few of us who partnered to divide it. Each family can also be said to have received a good share of the property. ”
The look of excitement on the one-eyed dragon's face could not be concealed in the slightest.
From his words, it was obvious that these people were indeed working together with several bandits.
Otherwise, they would not have been able to do this kind of thing with a single group of bandits of hundreds or dozens of people.
