Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 147: Catch the leader first and then enter the mountain stronghold!

Gao Yao, who saw this scene, instantly understood everything. He knew that Liu Bang was anxiously waiting for the feedback of the pursuit. At the same time, Gao Yao focused his attention on exploring where in the mountain stronghold would be more suitable for sneaking in. The mountain stronghold was crowded with people. Although most of the people who went out to fight were men, the old and weak, women and children still stayed in the camp.

In this era, the camps of the bandits were not neatly arranged like military fortresses. Most of them were built along the mountains and rivers, relying on natural obstacles to resist foreign invasions. Such a terrain layout undoubtedly created an excellent opportunity for Gaoyao.

In a moment, Gao Yao's sharp eyes caught a few figures in the forest carrying firewood and heading towards the camp. He made a prompt decision and made a secret signal to the soldiers behind him. Several soldiers understood and quietly sneaked towards the target direction. They moved swiftly and silently, as if they had blended into the surrounding environment, and quickly went into the distance.

At this moment, in the sturdy camp, Liu Bang paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, his steps seemed a little restless. Finally, after countless hesitations, Liu Bang sat down on the slightly worn-out chair like a deflated ball and let out a slight sigh.

At this moment, a man standing nearby in a long gown and with an elegant temperament said, "Mr. Liu, why do you have to worry so much? Instead of being so anxious now, you might as well think about the problem from a different perspective and think more about the positive side!"

The person who spoke was not someone else, but Lu Wan. Not only did he come from the same powerful family in Pei County as Liu Bang, but they were also born on the same day and were even good friends who went to school together. Therefore, Liu Bang trusted this close friend very much.

Speaking of Lu Wan's ability, it really should not be underestimated. He was very good at planning and layout. Although his name may not be widely known in the turbulent late Qin and early Han dynasties, his strength was definitely first-class. Take this mountain stronghold for example, the careful selection of its geographical location, the reasonable arrangement of daily patrols and defenses, and the clever setting of secret outposts, etc., are all from Lu Wan's hand.

"Yes, I know that Mr. Liu and Gao Yao have an irreconcilable feud, but whether it succeeds or not, Mr. Liu will not suffer any loss for the time being, so why should he worry?"

"How can we avoid losses? If we fail to kill Gao Yao, then Gao Yao will definitely..."

After Liu Bang said this, he stopped talking, because he also understood Lu Wan's meaning. Even if he failed, there was no need to worry. Gao Yao naturally didn't know that it was him who did it. If Gao Yao wanted to make a fuss, he would need to consider the reaction of the court. After all, Gao Yao had offended many people in the court. Liu Bang knew Gao Yao's current identity, so he naturally knew that Yi Xiaochuan had become Meng Yi.

The main reason that prompted Liu Bang to take action was of course that Gao Yao had brought him to this point, but he had never provoked the other party. Another reason was that he sensed something was wrong. There were too many ways to return to the southern border, but Gao Yao chose to go through Sishui County and Pei County, which was obviously wrong.

Liu Bang himself was not stupid, and he also had Lu Wan and others to discuss with. The so-called revisiting of the old place was simply unrealistic. The biggest possibility was that Gao Yao's journey back to the southern border was definitely not safe. The conflict with the Meng family alone was enough to make Gao Yao drink a pot. However, he chose to take a detour through Pei County. The combination of these two unusual situations showed one thing: Gao Yao was eager to return to the southern border.

"Mr. Liu, do you understand now? That's why I said there's no need for you to worry."

"Even if that's the case, Gao Yao suddenly left Pei County. Is it possible that we have been exposed?"

"Based on the direction of action, the possibility is not great. If the other party really has a direction, they should turn around and leave. There is no need to rush into the ambush circle we set up when they clearly know about the ambush. This actually indirectly confirms the previous speculation that Gao Yao is now eager to return to the southern border."

"We have already set up an ambush. Even if the enemy is all cavalry, we don't have to worry. In order to avoid accidents, didn't the lord set up another ambush? There are two ambushes. The enemy has only a hundred people. Unless the enemy can really calculate and send down soldiers from heaven, how can they leave the range of Pei County?"

"Well, I was a little anxious. I was originally worried that Gao Yao might find out something wrong and notify the commander of Sishui County. Now it seems that Gao Yao is indeed very anxious. This has saved us a lot of trouble."

After hearing what Lu Wan said, Liu Bang was able to adjust himself well and quickly regain his composure. He was finally able to calm down and drink some tea.

At this time, Gao Yao and his men had already changed into the appearance of mountain peasants, carrying firewood on their backs and entering the camp. Fortunately, the camp was relatively less well-defended at this time. After all, most people had already attacked, and the long period of peace also made the people in the mountain village somewhat lax in defense.

After all, the number of people has been reduced, and they are also responsible for patrolling and secret sentry, so their attention is naturally distracted to a great extent. At this time, Gao Yao and his men have already reached a position less than a hundred meters away from Gao Yao. At this time, Gao Yao has already put his weapon on the firewood.

Just when Gao Yao was about to get closer, someone suddenly called out to them.

"Who are you guys? I don't think I've seen you before."

At this time, a middle-aged woman looked at Li Mo and the others with a somewhat stunned look on her face. After all, the village was not big, but it was not small. It was normal that she didn't know the people. At least she would feel familiar with them. However, the faces of Gao Yao and the others looked completely unfamiliar.

"Hands on"

Looking at Liu Bang and others not far away, Gao Yao knew that he could not delay any longer. He looked at the room on the side, grabbed the woman and pushed her into the room, and the others behind him also followed into the house.

The movement here had obviously attracted the attention of the others. Several people had already started to walk over here. After Gao Yao dealt with the woman, the other soldiers had already opened the firewood carrier completely, revealing the armor and weapons hidden inside.

Several people quickly dressed up and looked at the figures approaching. Gao Yao knew that it was absolutely impossible to continue hiding. Gao Yao and others held weapons and waited for the figures to arrive at the door.

"Bang..."
