Outside Qingzhou City, six miles to the southwest, this is a snow covered mountain range, stretching for hundreds of miles. In the mountain range, two peaks of four or five hundred meters rise from the ground, facing each other, just like a camel's hump.
This is the Camel Mountain in Qingzhou.
After several days of heavy snow, the Camel Mountain has been covered with thick snow, and there is no green color in the mountain.
In the vast forest, dozens of people in ragged clothes are surrounded by a campfire to keep warm.
All of these people are yellow and muscular, and they are short of food and clothing.
"Father, we can't find any food in the mountain. If we go on like this, we will starve to death." By the campfire, a boy of sixteen or seventeen complained, holding a bow and arrow.
"Shut up Sitting on the east side of the campfire, a man with a long beard and a scar on his forehead said, "if you didn't attack the officials, could we hide in the mountains and dare not go out?"
The young man bowed his head and said wrongly, "I didn't mean to. The snow is so heavy that who can see that they are officials."
"You bastard, you still talk back!" The old man picked up the stick at hand and taught the young man, "if I knew I would not give you the bow and arrow, I would not kill you today."
The young man lay down on the ground and said, "kill me, kill me. Anyway, I'm starving."
When Zhang Liang raised the stick, he was about to drop it, and was immediately stopped by several clansmen.
One of them said: "patriarch, kun'er, is also anxious to make a mistake. We haven't eaten for several days. We are really hungry."
"Ah Zhang Liang helplessly put down the stick and said with regret, "it's all my fault. If I hadn't brought you down as bandits, I wouldn't have fallen into such a field today."
"That's right. We're shipbuilders, and we're not material for mountain bandits. If you don't rob the common people, the horsemen of the rich families dare not rob them. We mountain bandits are really cowards. We'd better escape from Qingzhou and go somewhere else." Said the boy indignantly.
Zhang Liang said angrily, "do you think Dad is an old fool? Not afraid of the Qin family, but afraid of the king of Qi. Since the Qin family colluded with the king of Qi, they have become more and more arrogant and fled to a place that is not royal. "
"That's right, but I went down the mountain secretly two days ago. It seems that the king of Qi ordered all the States to give porridge at the gate. Not long ago, he also ordered the state to open up wasteland and open up farmland. All the land Mu obtained belonged to the common people. Not only that, this winter, Lu Xiaowei didn't encircle and suppress the bandits. Instead, he issued a surrender petition, saying that all the bandits who are willing to surrender can go to get porridge If a bandit does not listen to advice, he will be killed without mercy! " One said.
On hearing this, Zhang Liang picked up the stick and tried to beat his son Zhang Kun. He said angrily, "this bastard has attacked the officials. How can we get porridge? I'm so angry!"
Zhang kuntulu got up from the ground. He could see that his father was angry this time.
The crowd came forward again to persuade them. At this time, a clansman suddenly ran up from the foot of the mountain and gasped and said, "chief, here comes the sheep."
Here comes the sheep. It's a sign between mountain bandits. It means there's a target for looting.
As soon as they heard this, they immediately picked up all kinds of weapons, wooden sticks, hook rakes and so on. Zhang Kun immediately put on his bow and arrow and asked, "who is it?"
The man said, "it looks like a grain merchant. They don't have many guards, only four or five."
"Dad, do it, or you'll starve to death." Zhang Kun said.
Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment, and now they have no way back, he said: "down the mountain."
More than 30 people immediately went down the mountain. On the mountain road, they had a special ambush. The branches were thick and they could not see the people inside.
At the foot of the mountain, more than 30 people were divided into two teams and ambushed on both sides of the forest.
Far away, a group of carriages came to them, four carriages, four coachmen and four bodyguards.
There are several large bamboo baskets piled on each vehicle, which are commonly used by grain merchants.
Seeing so much grain, Zhang Liang became red and robbed it, so they could eat it for several months. The carriage soon entered the ambush circle. With a loud cry, he rushed to the carriage immediately.
The four coachmen saw that dozens of people rushed over, and immediately took out the long knife from the carriage. The four bodyguards also surrounded the carriage and did not appear to be alarmed.
Zhang Liang suddenly some doubts, but in the face of so much food, he also lost his judgment.
Just as a crowd rushed to the grain cart, suddenly the big bamboo basket on the carriage was pushed open, and then the sergeant in full uniform jumped down from the big bamboo basket.
Lu Fei also jumped out of a bamboo basket. "Bandits, don't surrender quickly, otherwise don't blame Laozi's long sword for not having eyes!"
In an instant, the number of the team changed from eight to thirty elite sergeants, and Zhang Liang and others were immediately confused.
They're in the game.
Lu Fei looks at the frightened mountain bandit and laughs. Xiao Ming gave him the ghost idea, but he doesn't expect it to work. In his heart, he can't help admiring Xiao Ming. If he is, he really can't think of a way to win these people easily.
Surrounded by 30 sergeants, Zhang Liang was desperate. He knelt down to Lu Fei and said, "this general, the people who plundered the government are all my own. I hope the general can forgive others."Zhang Kun red eyes, roared: "Dad, what are you talking about? I shot him."
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes. "So you are Zhang Liang. Don't talk nonsense. Come back with me to see your highness!"
Escorting Zhang Liang and his party back to Qingzhou City, Lu Fei asked a sergeant to report back first.
This time, the king of Qi had a clever plan. Instead of sending his men on the day of Qian Dafu's injury, he waited three days to set up the trap. These hungry mountain bandits were really caught.
Lu Fei escorts Zhang Liang to the governor's residence, where Xiao Ming has been waiting.
Qian Dafu's injury is better, and now he can walk on the ground, which makes him feel a little relieved. Today he also came to the governor's office.
"Your Highness, Zhang Liang and his son Zhang Kun are all here. Please make a ruling." Luffy bowed, then stood to one side.
Xiao Ming glances at Zhang Liang and others. Is this a mountain bandit? It's more beggars than beggars.
"Are you Zhang Liang?" Xiao Ming asked in a fierce voice, "do you know that it's a capital crime to attack the officials?"
Zhang Liang knelt down on the ground, heart like ashes, "Your Highness, this matter is all I do, want to kill to cut, I recognized, please don't involve others."
"You're a man, but I'm not a murderer. I'm only free from death, but I can't escape a living sin. According to the law of Dayu, you should be denounced as slaves at least."
