Chapter 78: The Eve of the Great War

Because Wu Niu was mentally disturbed, he quickly covered up his uneasiness with a smile and said with a smile: "Brother Jie is back."

"Yeah." Wu Jie nodded, stood up and walked into the yard.

Wu Niu cautiously poked his head outside the door, then closed the door and walked in.

After the two entered the living room, Wu Jie sat directly on the main seat, while Wu Niu knelt down where Liu Gui had been sitting.

After they sat down, Wu Jie glanced at Wu Niu, who looked cautious, and said, "Have you talked to Liu?"

"We talked about it. We also agreed on the price, which is twenty-five gold. Here is the hardware deposit." Wu Niu still looked cautious, took out the money bag from his arms, and handed it to Wu Jie.

At this moment, I no longer feel guilty at all after hiding the hardware.

After Wu Jie took the money, he opened the bag, took a look, and threw it to Wu Niu. He said calmly: "Take it and share it with the people in the village."

"Give it all to those civilians?" Wu Niu asked a little puzzled.

According to his idea, the civilian husbands can just send them away casually. Even giving some copper coins can make the civilian husbands happy for a long time.

"Don't worry about the small money. We have saved a lot over the years. Just in case, when we finish this deal, we abandoned this poor place and settled in Jingzhou, and we will live a comfortable life from now on." Wu Jie

He glanced at Wu Niu lightly and said softly.

Although it was just a faint look, Wu Niu trembled all over, but he cared more about Wu Jie's words.

"Settled in Jingzhou?" Wu Niu said with eyes shining.

It’s no wonder that Wu Niu’s eyes are shining. At this time, the most ideal settlement in the late Han Dynasty was naturally the prosperous and war-free Jingzhou.

"Yes, it is Liu Biao's land of Jingzhou." Wu Jie said softly.

After Wu Jie finished speaking, he ignored Wu Niu at the side. Instead, he looked up and looked outside, thinking that for thirty carts of grain and grass, Li Xiong would naturally give him 10% of the reward.

Coupled with the savings over the years and some activities, it should be enough for me to leave this sterile place and live a carefree life in the prosperous place of Jingzhou.

Early next morning.

The villagers in the village did not go out to farm as usual, but instead waited outside the camp. However, the faces of the villagers were not depressed, but showed a little joy.

After all, they are not followers of Wu Jie and Wu Niu, and their thoughts are not that far-reaching. They just simply want to survive.

Early in the morning, Wu Niu did not discount Wu Jie's words at all, and gave them all the money for the hardware, which was almost equal to the entire village's monthly income. Naturally, the villagers were overjoyed.

Naturally, Wu Jie is waiting here, after all, he is the head of this village.

However, at this moment, Wu Jie's face did not look as happy as the villagers. Instead, he looked up at the sky from time to time, looking a little uncertain.

The time for the appointment was almost over, but Liu Gui and the others were not seen closing up their tents and moving forward.

"Go and ask the owner of the caravan if he wants to leave today." Wu Jie whispered to Wu Niu next to him.

"Yes. These people are really taking their time walking around. They really are not people who want to do big things." Wu Niu was also a little anxious as he waited, and immediately nodded and complained after hearing this.

However, before Wu Niu could go over to ask questions, there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats, and it was Liu Gui who came on horseback.

"Brother Jie, that man is the owner of the caravan." Wu Niu glanced at him and immediately whispered to Wu Jie.

"The owner of the caravan?" Wu Jie's eyes flashed with calmness, he took a few steps forward, went up to meet him and clasped his fists, "I wonder when Mr. Liu's caravan will set off?"

Liu Gui reined in his horse and glanced at Wu Jie. He felt unfamiliar, so he didn't answer.

"This is our village chief. Because he had something to do last night, he didn't discuss it with Mr. Liu in person." Seeing this, Wu Niu hurriedly spoke up.

"Oh, it turns out that you are disrespectful and disrespectful to Village Chief Wu." Liu Gui raised his fist calmly and said politely.

After a pause, Liu Gui added: "I'm here to inform the village chief that my caravan is ready and ready to go at any time."

"Haha, no problem, let's go now." Wu Niu said excitedly

But a moment later, the horn sounded to set off from the camp, and Liu Ye and the others set off with the food and grass they desperately needed in this troubled world.

Within Yushan

Among the three thousand bandits, one thousand strong bandits were holding their own weapons and looking excited. Occasionally, some people's eyes flashed with greedy light.

The smell of sharpening a knife.

I received intelligence yesterday that they were going out to rob the mountain today, so the bandits were naturally gearing up.

But inside Li Xiong's house, there was a different atmosphere.

Li Xiong was sitting on the main seat, wearing a black military uniform, with a short sword across his waist, and his expression was gloomy.

"Are they setting off?" As he spoke, Li Xiong's hand was faintly pressed on the handle of the knife at his waist, and his expression became even colder.

"Reporting to the leader, a brother just sent a message saying that they have set off." The little leader who was standing next to him immediately replied respectfully after hearing this.

"Well, that's good, bring me the map," Li Xiong said seriously.

"Youngster, I've already prepared it." After saying that, he took out a map from his arms and handed it to Li Xiong.

The map is very large. It shows the landscape near Yushan. Some villages, roads, and woods are clearly visible.

"Chief, let's go here. Since they dare to underestimate us, they have to bear the consequences themselves." The little boss was obviously very familiar with the surrounding environment. He quickly pointed out a place on the map and pressed his hand heavily on it.

Said above.

Li Xiong took a closer look and saw that this place was clearly a road that the caravan would definitely pass through. One side was a river and the other side was a forest. It was a place with no village in front and no store in the back, and it could be used as a place for sneak attacks.

Li Xiong had been a leader for many years and was very familiar with this kind of ambush. He knew that this place was an excellent place for an ambush after just a quick glance.

"Chief, we just need to go down the river, quietly ambush in the forest, and wait for the caravan to enter here. Then we can cover up the army and attack and kill them, and then we can easily obtain the thirty carts of precious grain and grass." The little boss said.

He explained his plan in detail, and then quietly waited for Li Xiong's decision.

"Well, I'll do as you say." He couldn't find any fault with the ambush location chosen by the little boss, and he immediately nodded and agreed to the plan.

Now that leader Li Xiong has made the decision, the entire Yushan is immediately in full swing.

Li Xiong put on a stolen battle armor, equipped with a long sword, and held a spear. He led a thousand strong bandits out of the mountain gate in a mighty manner, preparing to ambush Liu Gui, the fat sheep...
