Chapter 69

While Zulang was planning how to preserve his strength, Li Su was undoubtedly planning how to capture the army.

But the most important thing at the moment is not to alarm the enemy. Zulang believed that Li Su and his party were willing to "supervise the army and the army" and gave up their control over land.

So until the next day when Fo Xiao officially sent troops, Li Su did not show any radical actions.

When he parted with Zulang, he also said some consolation words with sympathy: "I wish General Zu's success! After defeating Zheng Bao, the court will definitely grant you the position of Chief Commander!"

Anyway, I plan to steal the army secretly, so I don’t have to really give money before I turn against each other.

Zulang thought he was able to do something and watched Li Su take his hundred of his personal soldiers and horses on the boat with a smile, and head to Chaohu with two thousand powerful Jiujiang refugees under Jiang Qin.

"This guy has been tricked, so I will walk slowly. Even if I delay the road for one more day, I will try to grab the benefits when Wu Qiuyi and Zheng Bao are almost done in the fight!"

As soon as Zulang finished thinking this, Zhou Tai, who was responsible for rectifying the army on the other side, came to report: "Master, the troops have been rectified. Please order the departure, right?"

Zulang fully revealed his true face: "What's the hurry? Go and check again. This time it's a fierce battle, you must be fully prepared! Don't run away to death, and you can't fight even if you get there! Let's rest for a long time!"

Zulang still has to wait for Jiang Qin to reply, how could he leave now?

Zhou Tai was confused: "This...but during the military discussion yesterday, didn't the general personally give an order to prepare as soon as possible?"

Zulang shook his head with apology and said, "Youping! So you can only be a pioneer. Who do you think you said yesterday?"

Zhou Tai had no choice but to follow Zulang's order and stay in place for a long time.

...

Li Su had just sailed ten miles with the fleet of water, and he called Guan Yu into the cabin and discussed countermeasures.

His ship is already the largest in the fleet, and at least it has a cabin.

"I think Zulang obviously doesn't want to work hard, just want to share the benefits. Our people are all on the way, and there is no one to supervise the military on the other side of the land. Maybe he won't be able to walk into Ruxukou in three days!" Li Su saw that he was surrounded by his confidants and did not hide it, so he showed up directly.

"What should I do?" Guan Yu also asked bluntly.

Li Su: "I want to capture the army!"

Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, and it was not surprising: "Tell me, I'll do it."

Li Su: "We just say that Zulang betrayed the court and ordered Jiang Qin to murder us. It is not difficult to use the refugee army's loyalty to Zongshuai, as long as it is faked like alike, kill his leader and seize his subordinates."

If it was targeting the regular army, Li Su would certainly not dare to take such a risk, because he knew that the regular army would not surrender so easily and re-recognize the master.

But refugees are different.

The refugees did not raise the anti-bank, they were not even the Yellow Turban, and they did not have the courage to resist the court. As long as they were told in the name of the court, they would soon stabilize the people's hearts.

In the late years of Emperor Ling of Han, the authority of the court was still very useful.

Even in the early years of Dong Zhuo, when Liu Biao came to serve as the governor of Jingzhou, he invited a table of guests and killed a group of leaders of the sect leader at the dinner table, and conquered a considerable number of local forces of the sect thieves. This is the reason.

Guan Yu thought for a while: "Then how should we fake it?"

Li Su: "We secretly change a boat, sink the boat, lure Jiang Qin over, and kill it with one knife! Then we pretend that we were lucky enough to escape from death, defend against killing, and promote Zulang's rebellion."

Guan Yu stopped talking and immediately took a few confidant soldiers to prepare to do some tricks in the cabin.

However, to Li Su's surprise, Guan Yu came back in less than two minutes.

Li Su was quite surprised: "So fast?"

Guan Yu's face darkened, and he was obviously extremely angry: "No need to do anything! When I checked the bottom of the ship, I found that someone had already done something wrong in advance!"

Li Suyin suddenly arose: "Zu Lang really wants to cause an accident to kill us? Hurry up! Change the boat immediately!"

The two old Yinbi thought of going together!

It’s all right to avoid Li Su’s fake and false accusation scene!

...

A few minutes later, Li Su's ship capsized in the morning light of Fo Xiao.

Jiang Qin, who was on another ship not far away, was shocked to see this: he was still hesitating whether to take action, and how to find a time to take action!

Jiang Qin was also very moved when Li Suxu gave him a 200-stone official. But he also felt something was right about what Zulang said to Jiang Qin. If Li Su had mastered the army and had these two thousand people attacked desperately, the people here might have suffered heavy casualties. This is something Jiang Qin didn't want to see, and he also wanted to preserve his strength.

So hesitated and delayed.

But why did Li Su's ship really sink directly!

Could it be that when the subordinates were doing tricks, their techniques were too rough, so they sank in advance?

Jiang Qin hurriedly directed his ship to approach Li Su's ship, wanting to confirm whether Li Su was dead.

Another ship next to him transported Li Su's personal soldiers also hurriedly came to rescue him.

"What's going on? Who did it? Save it quickly and don't drive it! The surname Jiang! How did you pick a boat? How dare you murder my family don't drive it!"

Li Su's personal soldiers shouted and everyone made trouble in unison, and the Śrāvakas made hundreds of steps, so that even if the surrounding ships did not approach, they knew the right and wrong of the matter.

Jiang Qin couldn't argue: "This...it's nothing to do, I haven't started yet!"

He was in a hurry and said the wrong thing.

At this moment, the Li Su's personal military ship was less than a few feet away from Jiang Qin's boat.

A sudden roar came from the bow of the personal military ship. Guan Yu, who had been lying down, jumped up and swung his knife over the side of the ship:

"Jiang Qin's thief! How dare you betray the court!"

Although Jiang Qin was skilled in water and had good martial arts skills on the boat, he was still lying on the side of the boat, looking down to find if there was Li Su's body in the water.

As soon as he heard this, he looked up and was caught off guard and saw a huge blade breaking through the wind.

None of Jiang Qin's subordinates could react, and saw Guan Yu standing proudly on the bow of the ship, holding Jiang Qin's head in the other:

"Jiang Qin heard that Zulang was in trouble, colluded with the rebel Zheng Bao, and plotted to murder Li Biejia. I have killed him. You and others are not aware of it, and the rest will not ask!"

Li Su also quickly shouted on the boat next to him: "You have heard Jiang Qin let it go before he died. Fortunately, I am very lucky that I have never suffered any harm. As for those who destroy the ship, I know you are blinded by Jiang Qin and do not know their intentions. As long as you kneel down and confess your truthfully, I will not only give you a pound of gold, but also give each person a pound of gold!"

Under the heavy reward and temptation, Jiang Qin's personal soldiers, who were unsteady, knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that they had just tampered with Li Su's boat.

Li Su immediately fulfilled the reward order and asked the personal soldiers to loudly explain how they moved.

Then he ordered sailors with good water properties to use hemp ropes and other objects to get into the water to tie the boat that had just been overturned. The wooden boat had sunk slowly, and the water flow of the Longshu River was soothing. The victim boat was soon found and tied and dragged to the shore to the beach.

Then Li Su let the onlookers verify in public.

When everyone saw that the water leakage on the victim ship was completely consistent with the damage confessed by Jiang Qin's personal soldiers, they completely believed Li Su and were completely subdued.

After all, in the past two days, they have gradually accepted their new identities. Most people think they have been ordered by the court to go to the army to eat food and get military pay.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Su completely controlled the military power of the two thousand people in Shuilu.

Seeing that Guan Yu had controlled the situation, he breathed a sigh of relief and stroked the knife beside him.

"Why did Chang Chang sigh?" Li Su asked with concern.

Guan Yu was silent for a while and whispered: "It was me who made the knife too fast. Looking back now, Jiang Qin might still be hesitating, and he might not be determined to help Zulang harm us. But the situation was in a crisis at that time, and I had to hear it, otherwise I would rather persuade him to surrender."

Li Su comforted: "At that time, we could only cut the mess quickly, and there was no need to feel guilty. Since Jiang Qin was dead, let us let him die more valuable--I immediately design to go back and seize Zulang's troops, just treat it as comforting Jiang Qin's hesitation."

...

After conquering the refugee navy, Li Su ordered everyone to stop the boat and dock and station on the spot. No new orders should be done.

Li Su personally took Guan Yu and Dianwei, one hundred personal soldiers, put on the clothes of Jiang Qin's personal soldiers, and then rode back to find Zulang. Li Su had learned from the surrendered personal soldiers that Zulang would delay on the spot for a long time, waiting for Li Su's death.

Since the conditions are so convenient, I would be so sorry for myself if I don’t use the tricks and pretend to be a secret envoy.

Considering that Guan Yu, Dianwei and others had too obvious appearance characteristics, Li Su also took care of them not only to cover their heads and faces, but also to try to hunch their bodies as much as possible, so that they would look shorter.

Half an hour later, they returned to Zulang's camp.

Zulang had some confidants who had been patrolling outside the camp for inspection and response. When the little leader who led the team saw Li Su and his party come back, he was nervous at first and asked closely: "Who are you?"

"We were sent by General Jiang to report to the Grand Marshal!" Li Su and his party learned the title very much, and they called each general and Grand Marshal like a sect thief.

But the little leader of the camp patrol still doubted: "Where do you have so many horses?"

"General Jiang succeeded. These were all horses from the one named Li. General Jiang did not dare to keep them all, and he would give some to the general."

The camp school had no longer doubts and let them go into the camp.

The vast majority of people in the camp had no idea that Zulang and Li Su had turned against each other. They were completely a member of the melon-eating crowd and were resting leisurely.

After entering the camp, Li Su winked and the group divided into two groups according to the plan.

Guan Yu and most of the people protected Li Su. When he was fifty steps away from the Central Army's tent, he turned to the side. He occupied a terrain that was easy to defend and stood by, protecting Li Su--

Li Su didn't want to joke about his safety, so he would never come to the assassination scene in person. Moreover, if there were too many people close to the central army tent, it would also lead to Zulang's alertness in advance.

So only Dian Wei pretended to be Jiang Qin's secret envoy and assassinated alone - Li Su's instructions to Dian Wei were that if he persisted for a while after the assassination, he and Guan Yu would come to control the situation.

Li Su did not let Dian Wei Bai take risks either. He promised to be promoted to Dian Wei as Qu Junhou after he returned and rewarded him with ten kilograms of gold.

So Dian Wei went there excitedly. He had only been the governor of the village for more than half a month, so he was going to be the marquis of Qu Jun again. Who wouldn't want to be promoted so quickly?

It is also a big blame for the refugee army lacking organizational discipline. They don’t even have to search their bodies when they enter the tent, and no one doubts what the package Dian Wei carries behind him.

Zulang sat upright in the central tent, heard footsteps and the sound of lifting the curtain, and asked proudly: "Dong Yi succeeded? He did things neatly, faster than I thought."

As he asked, Zulang raised his head and noticed that something was wrong with the secret in front of him.

When Dian Wei lifted the curtain and entered, the two were only six or seven steps apart.

As soon as Zulang raised his head, Dian Wei pulled out his hand and halberd from his belt and flew out, reaching Zulang's throat.
