The escort team and Qingyang Camp were trapped on the island for two days.
There was no food, and everyone was so hungry that they had no strength and lay on the ground groaning.
Finally, the Nanhu water bandits on the water came over.
A stone's throw away, the water bandit shouted loudly: "Hey, put down your weapons and surrender, I will spare your lives!"
Shouting like this has happened many times in the past two days.
In the past, Captain He would scold him back.
Captain He didn't curse this time, or even get up from the ground.
He has already seen that the Nanhu water bandits have made up their minds. If he does not surrender, he will be trapped to death by them!
Moreover, Captain He did not dare to stop him anymore.
Because he found that both his guards and the people from Qingyang Camp looked at him in the wrong way.
If you dare to chirp again, you might be thrown into the water and drowned!
"Hey, forget it, tell them we surrender."
Under countless gazes, Captain He finally relaxed.
"Heroes of Nanhu, we surrender!"
As soon as Captain He spoke, the guards couldn't wait to shout.
The Nanhu water bandits were very cautious: "Put down your weapons, get on that boat, and send people over one boat at a time!"
There was only one boat left on the island that was not leaking, and it came in handy.
The escorts scrambled to get in, and then four more were thrown down and replaced by people from the Qingyang camp rowing the boats.
The people in Qingyang camp were so hungry that they lost all their strength. After rowing for a long time, they managed to reach the water bandits.
The water bandits were not polite to the people on the boat at all. Except for the oarsmen, they tied up all the escorts and transported them by boat to who knows where.
Then throw two steamed buns to each rower to cushion their stomachs so that they have enough strength to row.
In this way, the escorts in one boat after another were kidnapped by the water bandits. In the end, even Captain He got on the boat and became a prisoner of the Nanhu water bandits.
After all the convoys were sent away, the people from Qingyang Camp were approached.
To Dong Chuan's expectation, the Nanhu water bandits actually asked the rowers to row several boats at once. After loading them with soldiers from Qingyang Camp, they asked the rowers to row the boats directly back to the water village where the water bandits were based.
Dong Chuan was the last to board the ship.
It's not that he loves his soldiers as much as his son and is willing to stay and break up the throne, it's mainly because the Nanhu water bandits won't let him leave first.
Fortunately, the Nanhu water bandits did not embarrass Dong Chuan and allowed him to return to the water village safely.
Dong Chuan was surprised to find that almost all the men who had been sent back before were there, as well as those who stayed in the water village to look after the house.
However, Dong Chuan soon discovered that there seemed to be something wrong. It seemed, probably, maybe, maybe, should, that his officers were missing!
Especially the first-level officers, there is not even one left, and the captain has also lost more than half, with only two or three big cats and kittens left!
Oh my God, these are all direct descendants he brought from the Dongping Army. Without them, Dong Chuan's control over the Qingyang Camp would immediately drop by several levels!
Not only that, all the weapons, all the armor, all the war horses and supplies are gone!
Just when Dong Chuan was so distressed that he couldn't breathe, a subordinate came over and said, "Master Dong, those bastards from Qilu Trading Company are all gone. I don't know where they were sent by the water bandits."
"ah?"
Dong Chuan just felt sorry for his loss, but after being reminded by his subordinates, he discovered that not even a single person from the Qilu Trading Company escort team was there!
"By the way, where are the guards who stayed with you to look after the house? Where did they go?"
The soldiers from the Qingyang Camp who stayed to look after the family looked at each other, and no one answered.
"Asshole, are you talking?"
Dong Chuan roared for a long time, but still no one spoke.
"Jia Ming, who are you? Please answer, what happened? Where are your captain and captain?"
Jia Ming scratched his head for a long time, and then said hesitantly: "Sir, it's all the fault of those guys in the escort team. They didn't take good care of the house and forced the brothers to drink with them, and then... and then..."
"What? Are you drinking again?"
Dong Chuan got a headache when he heard about drinking. Last time, it was because of drinking that the military supplies that had just been shipped were eaten by Nanhu water bandits.
This time I must have been drunk again, and then someone had a pot of it!
"Chen Teng, is what Jia Ming said true? Were you all drunk and then captured by the Nanhu water bandits?"
"this……"
Chen Teng also scratched his head.
"Sir... Your Majesty, you are so wise, you guessed it right all at once!"
"I……"
Dong Chuan almost died after a mouthful of old blood: "You trash, who told you to drink?"
Jia Ming and Chen Teng stopped scratching their heads this time and answered simply, fearing that Dong Chuan would blame them: "It's Dutou and the two captains. They want to curry favor with the escort, saying that they are not going to follow you, sir. If they want Go to the escort team to make money!"
"That's right, that's right, those bastards are nothing. They say you have no future with the adults. They say you are too stingy. You eat your own meat and don't even give anyone a mouthful of soup. They are not a thing for thieves!"
Dong Chuan: “#＠￥%&…”
"By the way, why did the water bandits capture the escort team but kept you? Why didn't they capture you too?"
Jia Ming and Chen Teng looked at each other for a while, and then hesitantly said: "Sir... Sir, they said they wanted to exchange the guards with Qilu Commercial Bank for money. They said you are a poor man, and they can't exchange money with you even if they hold us captive. , it was a waste of food to raise us, so we were released.”
Dong Chuan: "..."
…
Looking at the large amount of military supplies seized, Yun Chao's grin almost reached his ears.
"Okay, good job!"
"Zhiyuan, have everyone from Qilu Trading Company sent the iron ore?"
"Yes, Brother Chao, none of them ran away. Those guys were all drunk and confused. Our brothers from Qingyang Camp came to provide one-on-one service. With a knife, they all became honest!"
"Where are those scum that Dong Chuan brought from the Dongping Army?"
Luo Zhiyuan smiled proudly: "They have all been sent to the Chiyan Mountain Iron Mine. With what they have done, they will never come out of the iron mine in this life!"
Yun Chao nodded and did not interfere with Luo Zhiyuan's decision.
As the stall gets bigger and bigger, Yunchao is gradually delegating power.
If you don't let go of anything and have to do it yourself, you will be exhausted sooner or later.
As a leader, as long as you know how to use people and have a good direction, there is no need to do everything personally.
The benefits gained this time were so great that Yun Chao was so excited that he wanted to sing.
The escort team of Qilu Trading Company sent five hundred war horses, five hundred pack horses, five hundred suits of armor, hundreds of swords, guns and shields, as well as a large number of bows and crossbows...
Not to mention, Dong Chuan begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and the weapons and equipment he finally got from Dong Ping were all cheaper than Yun Chao.
One hundred war horses were also included.
Therefore, Yun Chao let Dong Chuan go again.
He eliminated all the direct descendants of his subordinates and spared his life, just to let him continue to serve as the captain of the transportation team!
"Inform Magistrate Sun and ask him to send a message to the people of Qilu Trading Company. If you want Shopkeeper Ma to survive and if you want the escort to survive, you will send one hundred thousand taels of silver over. The deadline is one month. No waiting after the expiration date!"
"Yes, Gaga!"
