After the four investigated, they immediately went back and reported to Liu Bei.
"General, the number is about 20, and the security is tight, but the guards are relatively relaxed at night, especially when shifts are changed, some people will chat nonsense."
Liu Bei nodded and asked, "Did you startle the snake?"
"No."
The subordinate shook his head, "We are relatively far away, and we dare not get too close."
Liu Bei took out a pen and paper: "Tell me about the geographic location."
He drew the key locations, the swamp, the river, the surrounding mountains...
Liu Bei took the map to discuss with Zhou Hao, and took the land before others were jealous.
Zhou Hao was still thinking about Yuan Shao, seeing Liu Bei coming, he thought something new happened.
"Look at this."
Liu Bei spread the map on the table.
Zhou Hao walked over: "This is?"
"The gang next to Jizhou.
This is the result of my entrusted investigation over the past few days. "
Liu Bei pointed to the terrain next to the villa: "This bandit gang is surrounded by mud and long rivers. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The only breakthrough is to the west."
He circled the area with a pen.
"Wait," Zhou Hao interrupted him, "You mean, you want me to capture this land?"
Liu Bei nodded: "This place is beneficial and harmless to us. It can lay the foundation for besieging Cao Cao in the future."
Zhou Hao looked around the villa, it was close to Jizhou, surrounded by water, it was indeed a good location.
This place is advantageous, but it is difficult to get it.
Zhou Hao frowned: "Will it be difficult to attack here? Jizhou is surrounded by water on three sides, so it is a bit difficult to get close."
If the time comes to sacrifice a large group of brothers but not get this piece of land, the loss outweighs the gain.
If it is occupied by Cao Cao, it will not be good for them.
Liu Bei patted him on the shoulder: "I asked someone to investigate. They are the least vigilant when they change shifts at night. We can take this opportunity to attack."
"As for how to ambush, I haven't figured it out yet.
We haven't had time to take a closer look at the site, so we can discuss it first. "
If they waited until the dry season when there was less water in the river before attacking, the success rate would be higher, but they couldn't afford to wait.
Now the long river is getting deep, and going by water is simply asking for a dead end.
To the north is the swamp, you can try to build a bridge, but it is easy to scare the snake.
Going to the west, we must investigate further to learn more about the internal situation.
This is a big problem.
Zhou Hao asked: "Do you know who the leader is?"
"I don't know. They were only watching from the outside and didn't go in, so as not to alarm the people inside."
Zhou Hao is one head and two big, so he can only put Yuan Shao's affairs aside.
"However, their equipment is relatively outdated, and their numbers are not large. The advantage lies in their geographical location, so it is not difficult to attack."
Liu Bei suddenly thought of something and made a plan.
"This gang will take in poor people from all walks of life. It's better to find someone to dress up as a poor person and go in to find out about the situation."
Zhou Hao felt that this plan was feasible, but how to spread the news.
Obviously such a huge bandit gang, if you go around casually, you can grab a bunch of things and come back. How can you wear a cloth armor and use a rusty blade?
If they don't come out often, it's even harder to spread the word, and getting caught can outweigh the gain.
"Ding--"
"There is a general named Zhang Shu in the bandit gang. If you take him down, you will be rewarded handsomely!"
As soon as the system's voice came out, Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment.
Seeing him suddenly stunned, Liu Bei asked, "What's wrong?"
"fine.
I will study further. "
Liu Bei continued following his train of thought, while Zhou Hao listened and thought about the tasks assigned to him by the system.
He didn't even know the number of cards, so he really had to subdue them and ask them one by one.
Zhou Hao mentioned: "We can ask the people in Jizhou, first find out the portraits and names of the leader of the gang and several generals, and then think about others."
"This bandit gang doesn't have much contact with Jizhou, and the officials in Jizhou don't want to mess with them. The two sides don't interfere with each other."
"Look for an underground businessman and buy the news. It's best to plant some eyeliner."
Zhou Hao took out a pen to circle Jizhou, and drew an arrow in Yanxi like a gangster.
The most important thing in war is skill, how to use the least manpower and material resources to win is the key.
Both of them had nothing to do, so Liu Bei went back to study by himself first.
Zhou Hao propped his chin with his hands, staring at the map in a daze.
It's really troublesome this time.
The gang has never been there, so I don't know the specific situation.
Zhang Shu didn't know who it was, if he was a hero and would rather die than surrender, the mission would fail.
"This system is really inhumane, it doesn't give any hints."
"Everything is in the process of creation."
