Ten days later, in the county town of Zhuti, in the mansion of Taishou Pang Xi, the best guest room was vacated to entertain Li Su.

The room was filled with the smell of medicinal herbs, Li Su lay there numb and soaked in the medicinal bath to alleviate the water and soil in Nanzhong, the barrels were all according to his requirements, and the high-quality mixed incense wood was selected, which had both the insect repellent effect of camphor wood and the calming effect of agarwood.

Li Su wasn't very sick, but he was uncomfortable, weak and couldn't keep up his spirits, and it took a while to recuperate.

He also came to Zhuti at the end of last year, but it was the month of Layue, so there were not so many mosquitoes, fleas and lice, and he didn't itch all over his body and urgently needed a medicinal bath to repel mites.

I didn't expect to go to Zhaotong like this, if you go to Kunming in one step, maybe you have to get a serious illness.

"Help me up, I can still ...... Write an essay. Feeling that the itch on his body had completely subsided, Li Su, who was a little refreshed, hurriedly ordered the guards who were waiting next to him. When fighting outside, he is still more happy and bitter with the soldiers, and he has no use of servants.

However, the guard Du Wei Dian Wei, who had been guarding the door, was a little worried, and kindly persuaded: "Dudu, you better rest, your body is important, it is only the beginning of August, and I see that the autumn harvest will not end for seven or eight days." ”

Li Su waved his hand: "I'm almost better, don't worry." After the autumn harvest, the fight will begin, and of course the text must be prepared in advance. And the text is not just a text, but also related to the pre-deception - if the text can be used, the enemy must really step on the pit as you expected, otherwise I wrote a bunch of things that the enemy has never done, and the effect is not good. ”

As he spoke, the bath boy had already helped him dry and clean up, grinding ink and waiting.

I heard that after Li Su recovered completely, within half an hour, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also came to visit the situation.

Li Su just happened to put his latest edited essays and supporting deception skills? Make a clean breast of? Please Guan Yu appreciate it.

Li Su's supporting trick is nothing more than the one he pondered a few days ago, "Exaggerate the production capacity and prospects of Zigongjing salt?" Paint a picture of a plan that can carry out a large-scale pepper and salt trade to South China for mutual benefit".

After Guan Yu watched it? I didn't say anything else, just a reminder: "Boast a little?" It's nothing, the road information between the two places is not very smooth? The details of the southern and central counties also did not know the truth.

But you write so well? Will it backfire when it comes to luring enemies? If I were Jing Yi, knowing that there would be no shortage of salt from now on, as long as I did business well, I would never rob dozens of boats of pepper and salt.

Is the price of salt in Nanzhong so expensive now? First, because of the difficulty of transshipment? The second is because of the shortage of Sichuan salt. In the future, as long as Sichuan salt is sold in sufficient quantities, his profit from grabbing this ticket will not be so great. ”

Zhang Fei didn't think about it so much, but when he heard what the second brother said, he hurriedly seconded the proposal: "Yes, yes, what the second brother said?" Boya, aren't you trying to do everything? It's been done in the end. ”

Li Su's eyes rolled, and he secretly wondered if Guan Yu also had political and military experience? But then he decided that it wasn't a big deal:

"Yun Chang is very good at this, but he only knows one and doesn't know the other—you know? Looting? It doesn't have to be ordered by a county magistrate himself. Can Jing Yi be too guarded? He has insight, does he dare to guarantee that all the military leaders under his account are knowledgeable? In a major case of robbery, as long as the subordinates do it, they must be too responsible for it. ”

Li Su almost said directly: Tao Qian can bear it, seeing that Cao Song has been a big farmer for many years and has been greedy for family wealth without killing it, can Zhang Min bear it?

But this can't be said, because in history, Zhang Min will not kill Cao Song until the end of next year - but this life may be advanced. Because Cao Song moved back to Yanzhou, it happened after Liu Dai died in battle, and Cao Cao replaced Liu Dai as the pastor of Yanzhou and established a firm base. In this life, Liu Yan died in battle and Cao Cao's ascension to the throne was four or five months ahead of schedule, and Cao Cao Zhi was satisfied with his father to live with him, and he would definitely be appropriately advanced.

Anyway, Zhang Min's killing of Cao Song must not have happened yet.

The insurance that Li Su needs is that once Jing Yi can endure it, it will be enough for Jing Yi to have a short-sighted military attache of the Zhang Min type.

After Guan Yu listened, he also gasped slightly, which was also vicious...... That's it, even if Jing Yi refuses to take the initiative to surrender to Liu Bei and disobeys the jurisdiction of Liu Bei, the assassin of Liu Bei, he will make an example of the monkey.

There is nothing wrong with killing this one Taishou in exchange for the deterrence of the other three county Taishou and the barbarian king.

Spread bluff propaganda, prepare public opinion in advance, arrange caravans to lure the enemy...... The hand-held operation was arranged in an orderly manner. Moreover, Li Surang's words spread in Jianning County and the words sent to Yuewang and Qiqi to spread are two different versions, and as for the farthest Yongchang County, it is the third version.

The reason why these versions are different is to ensure that "if Jing Yi is decisive enough to find out that his subordinates have robbed and killed the caravan, he will take the initiative to kill the murderer and return it to Li Su", Li Su can still send troops.

In history, Tao Qian didn't kill Zhang Min, Zhang Min was "arsonist" and went to Yuan Shu, so no matter how Tao Qian pleaded guilty, Cao Cao still had legitimacy in crusading against him (of course, the slaughter of Xuzhou was definitely not justified, and what I said above was only for the crusade against Tao Qian's interest group)

Li Su didn't dare to bet on whether Jing Yi would have a chance to kill the head and apologize, so he had to muddy the water in advance, so that when the relevant information would reach Yongchang, Yongchang people would rather believe that "even if Jing Yi killed the robber who did it directly, he was just shirking responsibility and killing people."

Who asked Li Su to leave the PLAN-B in advance for everything, of course, it is necessary to predict the various possibilities of the enemy in the face of planting.

(Note: After a few words, some people have been commenting on laundry detergent or the like, or playing with other historical war excuses, jokingly thinking that this arrangement is not important.) I must dissect it: this arrangement of public opinion is very important. Hitting Iraq with laundry detergent is a very rampant act, and the United States is not afraid of other countries sharing the same hatred with Iraq, so it can do a very rough diplomacy. But Li Su is afraid that the Yongchang people and the Jianning people have the same hatred, and he wants to divide and disintegrate, so he does his homework so carefully)

……

On the ninth day of the eighth month, a caravan of more than 100 people, carrying 70 or 80 carts full of pepper and salt, crossed the mountain from the southernmost part of Zhuti County and entered Cunqi County, the northernmost part of Jianning County.

If the caravan had been on its way at a rapid pace, it would not have attracted much attention, for no one on the other side had known what the caravan was carrying.

But the leader of the caravan seems to be a northerner, very unaccustomed to the roads in the mountains of 100,000, on the way before, after turning over fifty or sixty miles of mountain roads, it was a little bumpy, so he stayed in Cunqi County, spread the news, and wanted to find a boat to help transfer it locally.

There are also caravans in the local area that run boats, which are along the main rivers of Cunqi County to store water and pull goods, and at first I thought that this caravan was going to Yelang County and other places in Cunqi County, so I came to talk to find business. But when I heard that I actually went to the county to govern Wei County, I immediately laughed at these northerners who didn't understand geography.

That emotion is like a taxi driver in later generations, who queued for a long time at the train station and finally got a list, only to be told that there was only two kilometers to go, which made the taxi driver very annoyed and wanted to refuse to take him.

The leader of the boat gang in Cunma County mocked: "I don't know if you go upstream from here, forty miles to the source of the water storage, and you can't cross the boat?" The boat gang here has always been the only one to run downstream. What wilt thou amuse me forty miles away? The hard-earned money I paid for loading and unloading the ship twice for you is not enough for the freight! Besides, what are you shipping? Do you have to go to Yongchang to sell? When you go to the night of the house, you can't sell it? ”

The caravan leader was also polite: "If you don't have luck, you won't be lucky, get away from Naiweng!" Nai Weng is transporting pepper and salt, I heard that Yelang is poor and has a small population, can he eat so many of our goods? Of course, I'm going to Yongchang. ”

Nai Weng means "your father", and if the outsiders talk to the local boat gang like this, of course, it will lead to a fight, and it will take a lot of tossing to stop. But the black material about this caravan is clearly hated by the land snakes near and far.

A few days later, the caravan, unwilling to give in, drove the salt cart over the pass on the concave mountain, only to be attacked by bandits at a dangerous point.

The bandits were also very sure - in this era, it would be too easy to make a group of merchants disappear in the Yungui Mountain. Moreover, they were all insured before they started, and they did not wear the clothes of Jianning officers and soldiers.

But who knows, the caravan's escort martial arts can also be used.

First, he was very decisive after encountering the thieves, and directly chose to break through, without the slightest nostalgia for protecting the goods, which made the bandits who originally planned to fight positional warfare completely unprepared, and they were not able to immediately encircle and annihilate.

On the other hand, this group of samurai disguised as caravan guards would rather lose all their goods than bravely hack to death a few bandits, especially those who seem to have the command among the bandits, and decisively cut off their heads and take them away, as if they wanted to leave evidence of their crimes.

The county soldiers disguised as bandits realized that something was wrong with Guan Yujun, who was disguised as a caravan: how could the caravan guards care about the head? The caravan is not the first to count!

"Not good! Could it be that it was a trick? "When the county soldier Qu Junhou, who was disguised as a bandit, reacted, he had already run away dozens of live mouths.

However, looking at the thousands of sacks of white flowers mixed with yellow and fragrant peppercorn pepper powder, they were soon carried away by ecstasy, and they didn't care about the plan.

"Quick, brethren, seers have a share, each with two sacks! After pulling it back, it was divided into twenty cars to Weixian and Dianchi to sell the stolen goods, and the rest contacted the caravan from Yongchang and changed hands. ”

Jing Yi, who was in Wei County, didn't know what was going on for the first time. When he knew about this, he sent it with the urgent report of the county magistrate of Cunma - on the third day after the incident, Guan Yu led his troops to cross the border to attack, and also surrounded Cunma County. The county magistrate sent the news before he was besieged.

Fortunately, Taishou Jingyi has stationed 2,000 county soldiers all year round on the watershed of the concave waist mountain between Wei County and Cunqi County, and there are still thousands of standing soldiers and horses in the county Zhiwei County, and more township warriors can be temporarily mobilized.

Therefore, after Guan Yu only took Cunqi County on the border, he was blocked and stopped under the pass of the Cave Mountain, giving Jing Yi time to mobilize and react.

"This must be Guan Yu's trick! It's despicable! Deliberately sent a caravan to lure the county magistrate and county lieutenant under my command couldn't help but rob the goods, otherwise how could he send troops so quickly! It's like knowing I'm going to rob you! It's shameless! ”

Jing Yi mobilized his troops and defended the pass to the death, and personally went to the pass to supervise the battle, and repelled Guan Yu's two sieges, and then he gradually came back to his senses and scolded and condemned Guan Yu's injustice.
