Chapter 170: Planting Blame

Gan Ning's plan is very simple, to deal with Jiang Tuesday's thief, the first thing is to disintegrate the relationship between Jiang Tuesday's thief and other water thieves in the Poyang Lake water system.

As long as the relationship between the Jiang Tuesday thief and the other people of the Poyang Lake water thief is cold, then only the two thousand water thieves under the command of Jiang Tuesday will be easier to deal with.

After Liu Zheng's naval army has been trained for a month and can be used for combat, Liu Zheng's men and horses can launch a general attack on Jiang Er's thieves.

Since it is easy to break down the relationship between Jiang Er's thief and the surrounding water thieves, Jiang Er's thief and Zu Lang have a bad relationship.

The two of them are close to each other, and their water thieves often fight for merchant ships on the waters, snatching the same merchant ship and fighting.

However, this kind of friction, everyone has some limits in their hearts, verbally snatching it, and in the end, whoever looks at it first, who gets on the ship first, these merchant ships will belong to whom.

Moreover, a large part of the merchant ships, since they can often do so on this side of Poyang Lake, have already sent people to make good relations with the water thief leaders in this vicinity.

Generally, if you want to go to Zulang's territory, those merchants will go to find Zulang and give Zulang some money and food directly, for such an interesting boatman, Zulang will generally not be too embarrassed, and will let them leave.

And after paying the money to Zulang, he was caught by other water thieves, as long as he took a little more advantage, others would not be too embarrassed, at most he would pay a toll.

This kind of attempt has formed an unspoken rule in the waters of Poyang Lake.

But Liu Zheng is not from the waters of Poyang Lake, and if he wants to sabotage, he only needs to specifically target the merchant ships under Zu Lang to rob.

Then leave the name of Jiang Er's thief, those businessmen don't know who Liu Zheng's men and horses are, and can only throw this trouble to Jiang Er's thief.

They will find Zu Lang and ask Zu Lang to put pressure on Jiang Tuesday's thief, and Zu Lang, as one of the four major water thieves, will naturally not have a good discussion with Jiang Tuesday's thief.

And Jiang Er's thief didn't do these things, this kind of thing made out of nothing, he would only think that Zu Lang was looking for trouble with them, and the two sides would definitely fight evil, even if they didn't fight, they would have a gap in their hearts.

When the time comes, when they are estranged, Liu Zheng's men will suddenly enter the lair of Jiang Er's thief, and when the time comes, Jiang Zhou's thief will be captured in one fell swoop, and the name of the four thieves in Poyang waters will be rewritten.

Two days later.

Poyang Lake, Ganshui Basin, on top of a river, the weeds on the riverside are overgrown, more than one meter high, and the boats are hidden in it, and it is difficult to find a trace at all.

Three boats docked here.

"Lord, my brother has already inquired, there will be a big ship passing by here later, these people are merchants from Xuzhou, who went south to Jiangnan to purchase silk, they are all caravans covered by Zulang, and they give Zulang every year, and a large part of Zulang's annual income is given by these people, as long as we rob these people and blame Jiang Er's thief, it will definitely be able to attract Zulang's attention."

Gan Ning's brothers, although they have been in the Dongting waters all year round, still know about some things in the Poyang waters, and they have some friends to inquire about some news, and it is still very easy.

"Well, as long as we can make the relationship between Jiang Tuesday's thief and Zu Lang worse, it will be much easier to deal with Jiang Tuesday's thief next."

Liu Zheng is completely clear about what Gan Ning said, and he also agrees with this plan very much, when he is not clear about the specific strength of the other party, Liu Zheng should use some strategies.

This kind of action is exactly what Liu Zheng likes.

Just when Liu Zheng and Gan Ning were still talking, in this water, a breeze blew, and under the setting sun, the water surface reflected the color of the setting sun.

It really reflects the famous poem of the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Bo hundreds of years later.

Luoxia and lonely birds fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky.

In late autumn, the scenery of the waters of Poyang Lake is indeed very beautiful, but Liu Zheng at this time has no heart to enjoy any beautiful scenery, because on this water, several large ships full of goods are leisurely sailing.

"It's coming!"

Gan Ning saw the ships from a distance, and immediately shouted softly at everyone.

Liu Zheng also looked over along with what Gan Ning said, and sure enough, in the bushes of reeds and aquatic plants, music floated over several big boats.

Those big boats were gradually approaching from a distance, accompanied by the sunset, and there was still a bit of a lonely boat, but Liu Zheng couldn't care about it so much, and immediately ordered.

"Brothers, prepare, don't kill people later, just grab the goods! Don't deliberately reveal our identities, just occasionally say the name of the thief Jiang in the middle of the conversation, so that they can know our identity. ”

Liu Zheng is cautious, since he is planting blame, he will naturally not do it so obviously.

If it is too obvious, it is a false accusation to be recognized at a glance, it is not interesting, only inadvertently revealing some news and identities can make those businessmen believe that they were robbed by Jiang Er's thieves.

With Liu Zheng's opening, the three walkers hidden here immediately set out.

Began to rush at the merchant ships that were transporting them.

The advantage of the boat is that it is fast, it can accelerate the impact quickly in a very short time, and those transport ships are originally sailing against the current, but Liu Zheng and others are going down the water, so they naturally approach more quickly.

Appearing in this reedy swing, those transport ships were approached by Liu Zheng's ships before they could even react.

When Liu Zheng's men and horses approached, the dozens of people on the transport ship panicked.

However, these people have been walking in this water all year round, and they have also seen the world, and they were not frightened by the appearance of Liu Zheng and others, but immediately a leading person stood up.

"Brothers in front, please get out of the way, we are the merchant ships of the Mi family in Xuzhou."

Liu Zheng, Gan Ning and the others ignored these people's openings, but approached these merchant ships, and then jumped up, jumping from the boats to those merchant ships.

Gan Ning held the knife in his hand, and with a slash, he put the knife in front of these boatmen.

The frightened boatmen immediately sank their expressions, and none of them dared to speak.

"Everyone, we are just asking for money, if we know each other, just pull aside, and when we finish moving the goods, we will naturally let you go."

Liu Zheng didn't talk nonsense at all, and said directly to the leader who was similar to him.

As soon as the leader heard Liu Zheng's words, his face immediately became ugly, but he still had the courage to speak at Liu Zheng.

"This brother, which commander are you under the command, we are the fleet protected by Lord Zulang, and we paid the New Year's allowance to Lord Zulang, you see the face of Lord Zulang......"
