Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

"robbery?"

Several brothers immediately became excited and gathered around.

Liu Ye sneered, "It's said that the British and French forces have looted hundreds, or even thousands, of goods. They need to transport them from the capital to Tianjin in batches, and then ship them back to Europe by sea. It's impossible to transport so much goods in a short period of time, and it's not something that can be transported in a short period of time! According to my guess, they will definitely transport all the goods to Zhangjiawan, and then transport them back to Tianjin via the North Canal. What we have to do is rob everywhere on this road from the capital to Zhangjiawan and take away all their goods!"

Gao Qi scratched his head and asked, "Sir, we have so much cargo. Even if we rob it, we need a place to hide it. The British and French coalition forces have now controlled the situation around Beijing. There is no way to hide such a large amount of cargo from the British and French coalition forces. Once our target is exposed, we will face a serious blow from the British and French coalition forces."

Liu Ye nodded and replied, "You're right. Therefore, you can't act in a concentrated manner. Instead, you need to split into small groups. Each group should not be larger than a company's strength. After you've looted something, you can run away. The British and French forces won't transport much cargo each time. At most, there will be only a dozen trucks. They won't send many security personnel either. They may even hire local people for transportation. A dozen trucks shouldn't be too much trouble for you. Once you've taken a batch, immediately transport it to Huairou!"

"Huairou?"

Liu Ye nodded and replied, "Yes, it's Huairou. Fifteen miles northwest of Hongluo Temple in Huairou, there's a valley. Next to it is a small village called Xixia Village. In that valley, there are four or five natural stone caves. Each cave contains a unique world, making it a perfect place to hide things! Transport all your treasures there and hide them for me!"

Zhu Hai was confused. Huairou, Xixia Village? A col? Brother Ye wasn't from around here. How would he know there was a col there, and also so many natural caves?

Of course Liu Ye knew about it. When he joined the army in his previous life, he knew that there was a military base there, which was used to store military ammunition or food. The entire valley was hollowed out. When he went to visit, he clearly remembered that it was dug out by the army on the basis of a natural cave. There was originally a huge cave in the valley, which was enough to accommodate all the treasures!

It is about a hundred miles from Tong County to Huairou. With the help of war horses and carriages, it can be reached in one day. Now that we have entered the barren mountains, where can we find those foreign devils?

Liu Ye replied calmly, "Just do as you're told. There will be no deviation. Remember, act quickly. Don't linger in a fight. Loot and run. Be careful. We don't have many brothers left, and we can't afford heavy casualties!"

Several people nodded in agreement, and Chen Hai asked, "Brother Ye, what about you?"

Liu Ye's eyes sparkled as he replied, "It's time for me to enter the capital. Even if the foreigners want to take advantage of us, it won't be that easy! Everyone, start the action today and make yourselves ready! Each of the six companies is only allowed to rob twice. Pick up the most valuable items. As for those bulky pottery, porcelain, stone statues, etc., they're useless, so feel free to throw them away. What we need now is money and we need to preserve our strength!"

Dong Haichuan said in a deep voice: "Liu Ye, how can I help you?"

Liu Ye was stunned. He was so busy assigning tasks that he actually left the old man and Xiao E aside.

Liu Ye pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. He turned around and asked, "Do you have paper and pen?"

Zhu Hai quickly ordered someone to fetch it. Liu Ye held the brush in his hand, feeling a bit of a headache. This thing was too difficult to use, and what he was going to write next wasn't Chinese characters! However, the conditions were limited, and there was no place to find a pen.

Liu Ye thought for a moment, then began to write. Something that looked like scribbles appeared on the paper. Everyone was amazed. What, what was this?

Liu Ye finished writing in an instant, handed it to Dong Haichuan, and said, "Old man, I really don't have time to spare right now, so I have to trouble you to take this letter to the American Consul in Tianjin, Huggins. Once he sees this letter, he will know what to do. As for Miss Xiao'e, this..."

Liu Ye really wanted to say that he would keep Miss Xiao E by his side, but he couldn't say such words no matter what. It was too embarrassing!

Gao Qi on the side smacked his lips, and was so angry that he wanted to slap the general twice. Damn, he is obviously interested in her, but he is so shameless. It really brings shame to us men!

Xiao'e smiled slightly and replied, "Me? Of course I followed my father to Tianjin."

Dong Haichuan didn't take it seriously. He folded the letter, put it in his arms, and said, "Well, in that case, Liu Ye, I'll leave first. We'll meet again in the capital!"

After saying that, he called Xiao E and left!

Liu Ye stood there blankly, wishing he could slap himself. He wasn't usually a slow talker, wasn't he quite articulate and thick-skinned? He'd flirted with many young ladies in his past life, so why the hell had he failed at this crucial moment? Damn it!

Gao Qi, who was standing behind them, watched Dong Haichuan and his daughter walk away. He poked Liu Ye hard and shouted, "Sir, that beautiful lady has already run away, why are you still staring at her? How can we brothers say anything about you? You've completely disgraced us! Where has your eloquence gone? Can't you see the look in that lady's eyes? She wants to stay, don't you know..."

"Shut up!"

Liu Ye shouted fiercely, "Stop talking so much nonsense, I'm going to train you alone! I'm going to let you taste the torture you've never experienced before!"

Gao Qi shrank his neck and muttered unconvincedly, "You're just a greenhorn. It seems you've never touched a woman before! In this respect, you're far behind us brothers. Even if you're a military commander, you can't do it!"

"roll!"

Several people nearby covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

Liu Ye's face flushed red as he said angrily, "Alright, you guys go your separate ways. Ten days, time. I want to hear good news from you. Remember, you can't let the British and French forces take you by surprise. It's a big military taboo to focus on the head and ignore the butt! When I'm not around, all actions must be under Zhu Hai's control. He's the local boss here and knows all the boundaries very well!"

Several brothers agreed and began to reorganize the troops. Nearly seven hundred people were gathered together and reorganized.

Liu Ye also began to prepare, leading a cavalry, and after finishing his preparations, he galloped towards Beijing! Anglo-French Allied Forces, I'm back!
