Chapter 723 Long-term plan
Li Xu and Li Minzhi discussed some specific matters, and they left after an hour. Although they left, Zhou Hu did not leave because he still had something to report.

"My lord wants to exchange food with Cao Shi and the others. We must hurry up. The weather in the mountains is different from ours. It will be very cold in December. What I fear most is snow. Once it snows, the mountain road will be closed. At that time, it will be much more difficult for us to enter and exit the mountain.”

Li Xu frowned slightly when he heard this; "We have to go into the mountain to exchange as much food as possible before the heavy snow seals the mountain, otherwise it will be difficult to support the next autumn harvest with the current food in our hands."

Li Xu walked back and forth in the hall a few times, and after a while he turned his head to look at Zhou Hu and said, "When you rest for two days, you will lead a group of people and the vanguard to leave together. In these two days, I will get Cao Shi and the others what they need as soon as possible." Everything is ready."

"Humble job!" Zhou Hu stood up and said respectfully.

"Go down and rest early after working hard all the way!"

"My lord has one more thing to report." Zhou Hu looked up at Li Xu and said.

"You just say it."

"Cao Shi has two brothers who are sworn brothers. I have told the prince in detail before. The three of them are rare talents, so it is extremely difficult to gather people under them. Although they only have two or three thousand people, but These 3000 people are all first-class warriors, not to mention one against a hundred, one against ten is not a problem."

"Oh?" Li Xu's eyes flickered slightly and he began to think.

Zhou Hu looked at his contemplative master and gave a warning and backed away. After he left, Li Xu turned to look at Wang Zhongdao; "Take good care of them these few days, and pay them three meals a day. They have really worked hard and suffered during this time." Not a few sins."

"Master benevolence!" Wang Zhong smiled and nodded.

"Call Shang Ping here at night. I have something to ask. Cao Shi and Miss Guo Xiu are married and have a pair of twins. You prepare two gifts yourself, and let Zhou Hu bring them with you when he leaves."

"Yes!"

Li Xu took out a jar of wine and some wild fruits from his bag and handed them to Wang Zhong; "This is a gift from Cao and Shi."

"I didn't expect them to remember me." Wang Zhong took it with a smile. I don't know how happy he is.

Li Xu smiled and waved to him, and Wang Zhong led the servants in the hall to retreat.

Li Xu sat on the chair and opened the wine jar, couldn't help but poured a glass and drank it in one gulp. His eyes lit up slightly and he exclaimed, "Good wine!"

After drinking a glass of wine, he became more and more hungry. He ate some wild fruits and thought about it. It is not easy to live in the mountains. They need to overcome many difficulties. This is something he knew before, but It is precisely because of these difficulties that their bodies are much stronger than ordinary people. It is not a problem for the mountain people to fight two. In fact, what makes him most happy is the attitude of Cao Shi and Guo Xiu towards him. He can be sure of one thing, it may not be difficult to subdue them. Although a lot of food has been harvested this year, there are more and more victims here, and there are so many soldiers to feed, he thought Is it possible to hide and train troops in the mountains?If he directly gave the three of Cao Shi an army, would they take orders and use them for him?He thought quickly in his heart.At this time, Li Yao happily ran in holding the small wooden box.
