"These bandits have been entrenched here for some time, and they often come down the mountain to raid the nearby villagers. Yuan Shu had sent troops to exterminate them before, but this group of bandits was quite cunning and simply fled from Yushan. After Yuan Shu's army left, he turned back again. Two or three times like this, Yuan Shu could only let it go. ”

Liu Ye also felt a little interesting when he heard it, and said with a smile: "It seems that this gang of bandits is a bit cunning, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to deal with." ”

"Well, I'm not afraid that the bandits are powerful, I'm afraid that they are educated." Liu Jie teased

"Hehe, what is the name of the leader of this gang of bandits?" Liu Ye finally asked.

"It's a guy named Li Xiong." Liu Gui replied.

Liu Ye nodded, wrote down the name, and then fell into deep thought.

Liu Jie opened his mouth and said: "Military advisor, this group is entrenched on a mountain, although there are not many troops, but there are two or three thousand. Cottages are generally easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our team is not an elite division, and this bone is especially difficult for us to gnaw. Even if we want to train our troops, what we need is to go into battle and fight, not this kind of offensive and defensive warfare of hard work. ”

Liu Gui also opened his mouth and said: "General Liu's analysis is very reasonable, and we can't prevent the other party from escaping, after all, the bandits are basically proficient in escaping, and they are familiar with the terrain, if they flee desperately, our army will never be able to catch up." ”

Liu Ye listened to the analysis of the two very carefully, and said with a faint smile: "What you said is very reasonable, but it is definitely not okay to retreat when you encounter difficulties." Since we can't force the attack, then we can only lure the snake out of the hole. ”

Liu Jie asked suspiciously: "How does the military advisor plan to lure the snake out of the hole?" ”

Liu Ye thought about it in his heart for a moment and raised his head and asked. "As the main source of income for the bandits, they must also come by robbing homes or caravans. This group of people must be very greedy for money and food. ”

Although Liu Ye didn't say how to deal with these bandits, the people present heard it very clearly, and they all turned their eyes to Liu Gui.

Liu Gui naturally understood the meaning of Liu Ye's words, and immediately replied with a smile. "Haha, what my lord said is that as long as the caravans there pass by, they will basically be robbed, but recently the caravans have decreased a lot, because they have robbed more, and few caravans dare to go this way. So for some time they were mainly plundering villages. ”

Liu Ye's heart was not only not heavy when he heard this, but on the contrary, he was a little excited. "Hahaha, that's good, so that our plan to lure the enemy will be easier to implement. ”

Liu Jie also laughed and said: "Haha, these bandits often rob caravans, so they must be very rich." If we capture the cottage, there will definitely be a lot of reward. ”

After all, he often heard Liu Xun say that he had no money, and he had to open up more ways to make money, and if they swallowed all the bandits here, they would naturally be rich at that time.

It is said that at the border of Shouchun, there is a small village called Wujia Village. To the south of the village is Jade Mountain. However, because of the bandits, the locals call it a bandit's den.

A few years ago, when Yuan Shu had not yet entered Shouchun, although the village of Wujia Village was not large, there were hundreds of households with a population of nearly 1,000. Today, there are only a few dozen families in this village, one or two hundred people. Compared with Yuan Shu before he was stationed in Shouchun, it was simply a heaven and a place.

Nowadays, most of the people in the village make a living from farming, and they are not wealthy. Maybe it's because of poverty and lack of oil and water, or maybe it's because many people in this village have also become bandits and take care of their village. Therefore, the village has been relatively rare to be attacked by bandits.

Although this village is poor, it is relatively stable compared to other villages. The robbers came less often, and the village was remote, and there were no caravans or big people passing by.

However, today there is a very stylish team that has entered the village.

In front was a very luxurious carriage, followed by dozens of carts full of goods, and a thousand guards.

Each of these guards was armed with spears and wore leather armor, and they were unusually large.

At this time, it was noon, and the people carried their hoes to farm early, and they would not come back for dinner at noon. Therefore, there are only old people and children in the village.

The movement of the procession was very loud, and naturally it quickly alarmed the entire village. Many of the old people who stayed behind cast curious glances.

In the troubled world, life is like grass, and the old man who can survive naturally knows how to protect himself, and after just a little glance, he returned to the house and closed the door. For fear of causing dissatisfaction among these people and bringing trouble to the family.

Old man Wu is one of them, the old man is sixty-five years old this year, he is a native of Wujia Village, at this moment the old man is thin and weak at first glance is malnourished, and he is standing in a body shape that can be blown down by a gust of wind. It's too hard to survive in this era of chaos everywhere, there are wars everywhere, and the people basically don't have enough to eat.

It's not that the peasants aren't industrious enough, but because there are many bandits and bandits, plus the warlords are fighting. The rice and wheat that have just been planted will be destroyed by war. Otherwise, it is about to mature when I see that I have been carefully raised, and as a result, the harvester is coming at this time, and this harvester is either a bandit or a warlord. It's a miracle that the villagers here survived under such circumstances.

As soon as the old man closed the door, a man about twenty years old separated from the group and rode towards him.

The old man was very timid, and when he saw this, he was terrified, and thought in his heart that these people must not come to his house. But he really came to whatever he wanted, and the man really walked straight to his door.

Of course, this man is Liu Gui, according to intelligence, as long as that group of thieves is valuable, they will naturally rob everything, and now they naturally want to lure the snake out of the hole.

A few days ago, Liu Ye brought 30 truckloads of grain over, intending to disguise himself as a caravan and lure the bandits to come out and rob.

Now grain is worth more than gold, and if these thirty truckloads of goods can be sold, they will be worth at least a thousand gold. But the villagers don't measure its value of gold, but with this food, the whole village can live well, and this temptation is too great.

"You, who are you?" When the old man saw Liu Gui walking in directly, he was terrified and asked in a sharp voice.

"The old man does not need to panic. My name is Liu Gui, and I am the owner of the caravan outside, and I am passing through here, and I want to borrow some people from your village to help me go to the north. Liu Gui politely raised his fist and said to the old man.
