Inside Du Island, two hundred and thirty water thieves were holding their own weapons with indifferent expressions. Occasionally, there is a bloodthirsty glint in the eyes of some people.

A sharpening of the breath of the knife.

Yesterday, they got information that they were going out of the island to plunder today, and the water thieves were naturally gearing up.

But inside Zhang Gui's house, there was a different atmosphere.

Zhang Gui sat on the main seat, wearing a black military uniform, with a short knife straddling his waist, and his expression was gloomy. Zhou Shun sat on Zhang Gui's right hand, dressed much more than Zhang Gui, but his expression was extremely firm.

Chen Guang sat behind Zhou Shun a little stiffly.

"That's what you said they were going to cross the river today?" While speaking, Zhang Gui's hand was faintly pressed on the handle of the knife at his waist, and his expression was even colder.

"I didn't expect that they would backtrack." Regarding Zhang Gui's threat, Zhou Shun's expression remained unchanged.

"Huh, backtracking? They probably never thought they would cross the river to fight us, but they wanted to fight us to the death on land from the very beginning. Zhang Gui snorted coldly and said sarcastically.

"I'm afraid that's what it looks like." Zhou Shun was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then sighed and said, "But we do need that batch of pearls too." The value of thousands of gold is nothing, and the wealth we have accumulated over the years is also thousands of gold. But those pearls can be used as a gift. As long as we have that batch of pearls, plus our own wealth, we will dedicate it to General Zhang. We'll be able to get out of here and go to the north to live a strong life. ”

"Did Zhang Junhou say it?" As he spoke, Zhou Shun raised his head and looked at Zhang Guidao sincerely.

The title of Junhou made Zhang Gui's expression change slightly, and his expression became a little hesitant.

He and Zhou Shun were both military marquis under Zhang Xiu's tent, and when Zhang Xiu was in Wancheng, he surrendered to Cao Ying, and suspected that he would encounter accidents after surrendering Cao Ying, so he sent the two of them to guard here.

Became a water thief.

And over the years, Zhang Xiu has made many military exploits in the north, and the officials have become bigger and bigger, and they seem to have forgotten the two of them. The two of them then had the intention of offering a generous gift and asking for invocation.

However, although they have the money, they can never get on the table to send gold. And Liu Feng's box of pearls worth no less than a thousand gold made Zhou Shun's heart flutter.

"Being a water thief here, although I can have the opportunity to serve Cao Gong and get military exploits. But following other generals, I always feel unsteady, and following General Zhang to make contributions is our destination. When he said these words, the expression on Zhou Shun's face changed from calm to quite fanatical.

After staying in this place where birds don't lay eggs for so many years, Zhou Shun's desire to leave here is unusually firm.

Zhang Gui admitted that he was moved by Zhou Shun's words, and he also hoped to leave this so-called Du Island and go to the north to continue to follow Zhang Xiu. But the heart is heartbeat, but after a moment of silence, Zhang Gui still feels unrealistic.

"We are water thieves, only two hundred and thirty-five, and if we engage an army of three hundred on land, we have little chance of winning." After kneeling for too long, Zhang Gui simply sat cross-legged on the mat and sighed.

"You don't know how weak Liu Biao's army is, what are you afraid of. Besides, we don't fight hard, we just need to find the right time to attack. For our own sake, even if we kill all the 235 water thieves on this Du Island, it will be cost-effective. Zhou Shun's eyes flashed with indifference, and he said fiercely.

Chen Guang, who was sitting behind Zhou Shun, trembled, and he knew what kind of person Zhou Shun was. When it's time to be ruthless, you can be a man who can be very hearted.

Two hundred and thirty-five water thieves, half of whom were Zhang Gui back then, and Zhou Shun brought out the soldiers from Zhang Xiu's army, said to abandon them.

But Zhou Shun can't be ruthless, and now it's Zhang Gui who has the idea.

After listening to Zhou Shun's words, Zhang Gui fell into deep thought. On the one hand, there are the water thief brothers who have followed him for many years, and on the other hand, there is a bright future.

It's a dilemma.

When Zhang Gui fell into deep thought, Zhou Shun didn't bother again, because he knew that there was no need, although the person in front of him had always been very good to his brothers, but when he should be ruthless, he would definitely be ruthless.

Sure enough, when time passed slowly, the expression on Zhang Gui's face gradually changed to hideous.

"I'll listen to you one more time, and I'll do it." Zhang Gui said this sentence from between his teeth.

"Okay." Zhou Shun shouted hello, then took out a map from his sleeve, got up and came to Zhang Gui's side, and put the map on the table.

The map is large, with a map of the landscape near Doo Island. Some villages, roads, woods, and even the camp of the Tun army arranged by Liu Biao outside Xiangyang City are clearly visible.

"Since they are willing to be bait, then the vigilance must be very strict, and they will rob the camp and intercept them halfway. Only choose the right opportunity to fight hard. This place is the most suitable. Zhou Shun quickly pointed out a place on the map and pressed his hand heavily on the upper side of the road.

This place is the road that Liu Feng's army will definitely pass through when it is marching. On one side is the river, on the other side is the forest, and it is a few miles away from the position of Liu Biaotun's army.

It belongs to the place where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, and it can be used as a sneak attack.

As long as you go down the river, lie in ambush in the forest, and wait for Liu Feng to enter here, you can cover the army and kill you. Get that precious pearl.

Let the bait become prey completely.

Zhang Gui is also from the military, and his rank is not low, but he is in charge of 500 military marquis. I think that under Zhang Xiu's account back then, it was only 20,000 or 30,000 troops, and a military marquis in charge of 500 people could be regarded as quite influential combat effectiveness.

He couldn't find fault with the ambush location chosen by Zhou Shun.

However, there is one thing that Zhang Gui still cares about, he raised his head and said coldly: "You are so sure that I will agree?" ”

Zhou Shun was so well prepared, he was almost able to eat him. Of course, Zhang Gui will feel uncomfortable.

"We're all tired." Zhou Shun looked up at Zhang Gui, his eyes flashing with tiredness.

Zhang Gui was silent, yes, they were all tired, but fortunately, as long as they killed this caravan and obtained the pearls, they would have the capital to find Zhang Xiu.

Since the two heavyweights had made their decision, the entire Du Island immediately ran at full strength.

Zhang Gui and Zhou Shun put on leather armor that they hadn't worn for a long time, equipped with a long sword, and held a spear. Commanding two hundred and thirty-five water thieves, carrying dry rations onto the boat.

Get ready to strike.

Soon after, the water thieves got on eighteen small boats, three large boats, registered flags, and went down the river under the leadership of Zhang Gui and Zhou Shun.
