Iron Dynasty

Chapter 28: To capture Zhang Liang

   Outside Qingzhou city, six miles southwest, this is a snow-covered mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles. Two peaks of four to five hundred meters in the mountain rise from the ground, facing each other, like camel humps.

   This is the Tuoshan among the people of Qingzhou.

  Several days of heavy snow, Tuoshan has long been covered by thick snow, and there is no green color in the mountains.

   In this vast mountain forest, dozens of people in rags are surrounding a campfire to keep warm.

   All these people have yellow faces and muscles.

   "Father, there is nothing to eat in the mountains, and we will starve to death if we continue like this." A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy complained by the campfire holding a bow and arrow.

"Shut up!" The one sitting on the east side of the campfire said angrily. He had a long beard and a scar on his forehead. "If you didn't attack the government, we could hide in the mountains. Dare to go out?"

   The young man lowered his head and said aggrieved: "I didn't mean it. Who can see that they are from the government because of the size of the snow."

   "You wicked kind, talk back!" The elder picked up the wooden stick at hand to teach the young man, "I would not give you the bow and arrow if I knew it, and see if I won't kill you today."

   The boy lay down on the ground, "Kill me, kill me, anyway, I'm starving to death."

   Zhang Liang lifted the stick and was about to smash it down, and was immediately stopped by several clansmen.

   One of them said, "The patriarch, Kun'er, made a mistake in anxious manner. We haven't eaten for a few days, so we are so hungry."

   "Hey!" Zhang Liang put down the stick weakly, and said regretfully: "I am all to blame, if it weren't for taking you down as a bandit in one anger back then, it won't fall into the field like today."

"This is true. We are shipbuilders, and we are not on the basis of being a bandit. You don't want to grab the people. The giants have guards on the horse team. We are really useless as bandits. We might as well escape from Qingzhou. Invest elsewhere." The young man said angrily.

   Zhang Liang said angrily: "Do you think Dad is an old fool? Not afraid of the Qin family, but afraid of King Qi. Since the Qin family colluded with King Qi, it has become more and more arrogant and fled to a place that is not royal."

"That's what I said, but I secretly went down the mountain two days ago. It seems that the king of Qi ordered the states to cook porridge at the door. Not long ago, he also ordered the reclamation of wasteland and farmland, and all the acquired fields belonged to the people. Not only that, Lieutenant Lu did not encircle and suppress this winter. The banditry is a surrender, saying that all the bandits who are willing to surrender will not be blamed by the government, and they can still go to collect porridge. If they do not listen to the advice, they will definitely kill them without pardon!" said one.

   When Zhang Liang heard that, he picked up the stick fiercely, and was about to beat his son Zhang Kun. He angrily said: "This evil kind has attacked the people in the government, how are we going to get the porridge, I am so angry!"

   Zhang Kun dulu got up from the ground, he could see that his father was angry this time.

   Everyone came forward to persuade again. At this moment, a tribe member suddenly ran up from the mountain, panting and saying, "Patriarch, the sheep are here."

   This sheep is here is a signal among the bandits, which means there is an object of looting.

   Everyone immediately picked up all kinds of weapons, wooden sticks, hooks and rake, etc., Zhang Kun immediately put the bow and arrow on his back and asked, "Who is it?"

   The man said, "It looks like a food merchant, and they don't have many guards, only four or five."

   "Father, let's do it, or I will starve to death." Zhang Kun said.

   Zhang Liang hesitated, now they have nowhere to go. He said, "Go down the mountain."

   More than 30 people went down the mountain immediately. On the mountain road, they had a special ambush spot with dense branches, and they couldn't see the people inside.

   At the bottom of the mountain, more than 30 people divided into two teams, lying in ambush on both sides of the forest.

   Far away, a team of carriages approached them, a total of four carriages, four coachmen, and four guards.

   There are several large bamboo baskets stacked on each vehicle, which are commonly used by grain merchants.

   Seeing so much grain, Zhang Liang's eyes became red. After grabbing the grain, they could eat it for a few months. The carriage quickly entered the ambush, and he shouted and rushed to the carriage.

   When the four coachmen saw dozens of people rushing over, they immediately drew their defensive swords from the carriage. The four guards also surrounded the carriage without appearing panicked.

   Zhang Liang suddenly had some doubts, but faced with so much food, he also lost his judgment.

   Just when a crowd rushed to the food cart, the big bamboo basket on the cart was suddenly pushed open, and then a sergeant in full uniform jumped out of the big bamboo basket.

   Lu Fei also jumped out of a bamboo basket, "Random thief, don't surrender quickly, or don't blame Lao Tzu for not having long eyes!"

  In an instant, the number of people in the convoy changed from eight to thirty elite sergeants, and Zhang Liang and the others were immediately lost.

   They got it.

Lu Fei laughed as he watched the scared bandit. Xiao Ming gave him this ghost idea. He didn't expect it to work. In his heart, he couldn't help but admire Xiao Ming~www.ltnovel.com~ If it were him, he really couldn't think of a way to easily win these people.

   Surrounded by thirty sergeants in an instant, Zhang Liang was desperate, and he knelt down to Lu Fei, "This general, the people who looted the government are all my work, Zhang Liang, and I hope that the general can forgive others."

   Zhang Kun red eyes anxiously, and roared: "Father, what are you talking about, obviously I shot him."

   Lu Fei squinted his eyes, "So you are Zhang Liang, don't talk nonsense, and come back to your Highness with me!"

   escorting Zhang Liang and his entourage back to Qingzhou City, Lu Fei asked a sergeant to go back and report.

   This time, the king of Qi made a brilliant calculation. Instead of sending manpower on the day Qian Dafu was injured, he waited three days to set the trap. These hungry bandits were caught.

   Lu Fei escorted Zhang Liang to the Dudu Mansion, where Xiao Ming was already waiting.

   Qian Dafu’s injury healed a little bit, and now he can walk on the ground, which made him a little bit more relaxed. Today he also came to the Dudu's Mansion.

   "His Royal Highness, Zhang Liang and his son Zhang Kunju are here, please also your Highness to rule." Lu Fei bowed and said, and then stood to the side.

   Xiao Ming glanced at Zhang Liang and others, is this a bandit? It is a beggar even more than a beggar.

   "Are you Zhang Liang?" Xiao Ming asked sharply, "You know that falling grass is a bandit, and attacking officials is a capital crime!"

   Zhang Liang knelt on the ground, his heart was ashamed, "His Royal Highness, this matter is all done by myself. I want to kill or cut, I admit it, please don't involve others."

"You are a man. It's just that this king is not a murderer, but the death penalty is inevitable, and the living sin cannot escape.
