Developing a Trade
Time: Evening
Area: Xia Pi
Location: Zhang Miao’s Private Quarters
Zhang Miao and his personal guards gather around the table in Miao’s private quarters.
[Miao:]”I hope everyone has rested well after the slave trade situation, you men did good work but now I have a very important task for you. As you all know Xia Pi has a very poor economy at the moment. Tonight we will change that. Our Spies have heard that Yuan Shu is receiving a large convoy of supplies. We are going to steal those supplies and hopefully convince the supplier to work for us. This will help start trade and more importantly it will help boost our income. Is this understood men?”
[Guards:] “YES SIR”
Miao and his men were lightly equipped for this task. They all wore leather armour and took with them bow and arrows, and a short sword. They had to be quick and swift as they only had one chance. Miao and his men mounted their horse.
[Miao:] “Hurry Let’s go!”
Miao yelled as he and his men quickly galloped towards their destination.
Time: Midnight
Area: Shou Chun
Location: Roads
Miao and his men gathered at the road where they would ambush the convoy. They hid their horses in the trees, and hid behind the bushes by the road.
[Miao:] “Men get your bows ready. When the distraction is set and Yuan Shu’s guards are away from the convoy take them out, now hide here they come”
Yuan Shu’s convoy appears, and gets closer to the ambush point. One of Miao’s men starts running towards the convoy.
[Guard:] “Help, Help There’s bandits in the trees they stole everything you’ve got to help me!”
Yuan Shu’s guards listened to the man and told the convoy to wait. They started to follow the man and when they were away from the convoy, Zhang Miao’s men attacked. Everyone of Yuan Shu’s guards were killed. Zhang Miao approached the convoy. As his men gathered the horses.
[Miao:] “Good men look at Yuan Shu’s guards. They are so incompetent, that they can’t even protect convoys. I want you to work for Lu Bu. We offer the best protection, not cheap protection like Yuan Shu. What do you say? The Great and Mighty Lu Bu, or incompetent Yuan Shu?”
[Supplier:] “Seeing as this is Yuan Shu’s biggest supply yet and he offers little protection, I have to accept your offer. Lead the way”
Miao smiled when he heard the words of the Supplier. He mounted his horse and they headed towards Xia Pi.
When they arrived at Xia Pi, Miao and his men unloaded the supplies. Miao shook the hand of the Supplier and gave him gold for his services.
[Miao:] “You will not regret this decision; men escort the supplier back and make sure nothing happens to him”
Miao watched as his men and the supplier left. Miao headed back towards his quarters. This was the start to a new economy as Miao had much more planned.
