Zhao Ziliang reached the street in one breath.
He reined in his horse and looked back.
There were corpses lying on the street.
The horses of the Eastern Roman cavalry stopped running on the street and swung their tails and chewed their horses' mouths.
Mario's group of cavalry were all killed in such a short period of time and were soon discovered by the bandits.
The bandits were already being suppressed and beaten, but now they finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to escape one after another.
However, the soldiers of the Dragon Guard were Reluctant to let them go, he would chop at them as he chased them.
When Zhao Ziliang came back after chasing for a while, the fighting on the street was completely over.
Liang Zhenwu came forward and clasped his fists and said: "A dozen of them ran away, and the rest are all here.
There are more than 60 people captured.
According to These prisoners confessed that they were a group of bandits nearby, led by Wuhe.
Horse, but this ambush on us was not done by them alone, but together with Centurion Mario from Karls Fortress.
Mario was among the prisoners, but it seems that this guy was seriously injured by you. , the sternum is broken, and according to the doctor, it is estimated that it will not heal in half a year."
"Kars Fortress" Zhao Ziliang suddenly realized, "It turns out that these more than seventy cavalry are the defenders of Castle Fortress, but where did Mario come from so many horses?"
"I don't know, this guy is unconscious now," Liang Zhenwu said, then thought about it and asked, "What should we do with these prisoners?
We can't take them with us on the road, right?"
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and said: "These people can't be killed yet, and it's not convenient to take them with them.
How about this, go and call Liu Dan and Dugujun, and let's discuss it together."
"yes" Not long after, Liu Dan, Dugujun, Wan Qingming, Zhang Bi and others came over to greet Zhao Ziliang.
After Zhao Ziliang told the story of these prisoners, he asked: "How do you think this matter should be handled?"
Dugujun cupped his hands and said: "I think these prisoners cannot be killed.
If they are killed, then if the Eastern Roman Empire comes to trouble us, we will not be able to provide evidence, but with these prisoners it is different.
We can use this to show our support."
The Eastern Roman Empire asked the local officials about the crime and asked them to give an explanation."
Liu Dan also handed over his hand and said: "I also think that these prisoners should be kept.
In this situation, we can only stay here temporarily and send people to Zhulu Town in front to tell the local government that we were attacked by local officials and bandits in collusion."
Let them give an explanation, otherwise we will report it to the Royal Court and ask the Royal Court to seek justice for us through diplomatic channels.
If the matter cannot be resolved through diplomatic channels, then."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and ordered: "Okay, let's send two waves of people.
One wave of people will go to Julu Town to find the local government, and the other wave of people will return to Alexandretta to inform them of the news and make a record.
Make necessary reactions and gestures to show the Eastern Roman Empire, and create diplomatic and military pressure on Liu Dan.
It is up to you to do this."
Liu Dan clasped his fists and agreed: "Yes" "Okay, I guess there are a lot of empty houses in this town.
Let's rest here for a few days and wait until there is a preliminary solution to this matter before we set off."
"yes" There is a hidden valley in the Armanos Mountains.
Getea's stronghold is located here.
Getea has hundreds of minions in his hands, but there are also hundreds of family members, old, weak, women and children.
There is some cultivated land in the valley, but the area It's not big enough to feed everyone in the village.
At this time, Gatea is worrying about food.
The spring wheat has been harvested long ago and is almost gone.
At most, it can only be eaten for another half month before it will run out of food.
This is urgent.
Broke Gaetia.
"What should we do now?
We only have half a month's worth of food left.

After eating this food, we will be completely out of food.
We must get food within half a month, otherwise people will starve, or even starve to death."
Gaetia's words made more than a dozen leaders feel heavy.
One of them said: "Why don't you send people to hunt in the mountains and forests?
We can get some food."
Someone immediately shook his head and said: "All the wild beasts around us have been hunted.
Where else can we go hunting?
To hunt, we have to walk long distances and mountainous roads.
Moreover, even if we catch some prey, there will still not be enough food for thousands of people including the elderly and children."
Yes, we must find a way to get food from other places."
The leaders were silent these days, no matter where they are, food is the most important survival material for human beings.
Even in a country with great national power like Western Qin, the price of food is still high.
On the one hand, Western Qin The government controls grain prices and proactively purchases farmers' grain at high prices to stockpile it as food for war preparations.
On the other hand, the Western Qin State has a vast territory and a large population.
There are many herdsmen engaged in animal husbandry in the north and require a large amount of grain transportation from the south every year.
There is still time to support Datang.
Someone said: "How about we rob the large caravan of the Western Qin Dynasty?
Although the loss may be greater, if we can't find food, more people may starve to death."
The escort force of a large caravan cannot be ignored.
This is by no means a successful robbery.
The opponent's escort force is too strong.
Not only will it not succeed, but it may also cause the teeth to collapse.
Everyone else has concerns. , after all, the strength of Zhao Ziliang's caravan lies there.
However, there are still militants who support this idea, "I think we can give it a try.
How will we know if it works if we don't give it a try?
We can't just see the opponent's strength.
Is our own strength weak?
Besides, they are in the open, We can always find a way in the dark."
At this time, a minion walked in and said to Gatea: "Gatea, Kil is back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the skinny Kil walked in quickly and said: "Gatea, something big has happened."
Gaetia was shocked, "What happened?
Didn't I ask you to monitor the Western Qin caravan?"
Kil said: "Yes, I have been monitoring them.
Just yesterday, they entered the town of Delt.
Who knew that Centurion Mario of Karls Fortress had united with nearby Uhema to join forces with this Western Qin army?
The caravan set up an ambush before arriving in Delt Town.
They captured most of the residents of the town and locked them up together, and then ambush more than 400 people from Uhema in shops on both sides of the street.
Install before the caravan enters the town They opened the door for business as usual and prepared to ambush them as they passed by.
However, they were discovered in advance by the guards of the Western Qin caravan.
The ambush turned into a strong attack.
The two sides killed each other in rivers of blood. annihilate, Moreover, all the more than 70 cavalry brought by Mario were killed, Uhema was killed on the spot, Mario was also captured by the guards of the Western Qin caravan, and more than 70 minions were also captured.
Only a dozen people ran away.”
The more than a dozen bandit leaders in the hall were dumbfounded and gasped after reacting.
Most of the bandit leaders were already a little timid.
There were more than 400 strong and fierce bandits plus more than 70 regular ones.

The cavalry of the army were completely annihilated.
The strength of the Western Qin caravan guard was too strong.
One leader asked: "How many losses did the guards of the Western Qin caravan have?"
Kiel said: "The total number of casualties was less than thirty, and only a few died.
The others were injured.
The few who died were still hit by bows and arrows.
These people were so powerful that I hid at that time.
I could see clearly in a house that the Western Qin caravan had just started They were surrounded.
After discovering the anomaly, they took the lead and turned an ambush into a counterattack.
These people were so terrifying, working in groups of three or five.
This is definitely the way the army fights, and they are better than what I thought.
The combat power of other armies I have seen is much stronger.”
After listening to Keir's words, one of the leaders said: "It seems that we really can't afford to offend this caravan."
Gatea thought for a while and asked: "Kiel, where did Mario get so many horses?"
Kiel replied: "Mario only has twenty cavalry at most.
The rest should be infantry who have mounted horses pretending to be cavalry.
As for those horses, I think they belong to Uhema."
Gatea's eyes sparkled, "Since Uhema is dead and most of his men died in Delt Town, his lair must be empty now.
We will attack his lair immediately and wait until we seize his Lair, gather his remaining troops, his food and property will be ours."
The bandit leaders' eyes lit up.
Someone slapped the table and shouted: "Yes, we can't do anything with that Western Qin caravan.
Isn't it possible that we can't capture the already empty Uhema stronghold?
I agree."
"I agree too" For a time, the bandit leaders all agreed.
Gaetada immediately mobilized his troops to fight towards the Uhema mountain stronghold eighty miles away.
It took him two days to arrive at the Uhema mountain stronghold, which is about 10 kilometers away from Delt.
There are only twenty miles of mountain roads in the town.
Gatea did not put in much effort at all, and quickly defeated the weak Uhema Zenzai, and recruited more than a hundred strong bandits and more than 400 old and weak women and children.
However, Gatea did not find much food and property. , This made Gaetia anxious.
Even though they captured the stronghold, they gained nothing.
Instead, they gained hundreds of mouths to eat.
In desperation, Gaitea was about to kill someone, and Cross, who was in charge of the accounts, was brought to him first, "Leader Gaitea, don't, don't kill me.
Although I help Uhema manage the accounts, I really can't."
I know how much property he has.
This account is for the bosses below.
Only he knows the real account.
Don’t let me tell you a secret.
This time Uhema and Mario teamed up to ambush the Western Qin caravan.
They captured the entire Delta town beforehand and killed All the officers and soldiers in the town also locked up everyone in the town and robbed them of their food and property.
The food and property must still be in the town now.
The dozen of us just collected it from there yesterday.
The Western Qin caravan is still in the town.
As long as they leave, you can take people there to rush over and transport the food and property.
Then I can lead the way for you.
We still have a dozen brothers guarding there.

Come on, I'll ask them to surrender and give you their food and property."
Gatea's eyes flashed when he heard this, "Are you saying that there are still a dozen of your people guarding the warehouses storing food and property in Delt Town, and they have not been discovered by the Western Qin caravan?"
Cross said quickly: "Absolutely not.
The food and property are hidden in the basement of a small courtyard.
They are guarding there.
Not only are the guards of the Western Qin caravan not soldiers of the local government, they cannot search every room." houses" Gatea thought for a long time and seemed to have made a decision.
He said to the leaders: "It seems that there is no way for us to eat this Western Qin caravan.
Cross, I can spare you, but you must Go and do something for me”:
