While Zu Lang was thinking about how to preserve his strength, Li Su was undoubtedly also calculating how to win the army.

But the most important thing at the moment is not to startle the snake. To convince Zu Lang that Li Su and his entourage were willing to "supervise the army's waterway people" and gave up control over the land people.

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

When he parted from Zu Lang, he also said some words of consolation with sympathy: "I wish General Zu success!" After defeating Zheng Bao, the imperial court will definitely grant you the official position of captain! ”

Anyway, they are going to secretly seize the army, and they don't really have to give money to the other party before turning their faces.

Zu Lang thought he had a plan, and with a smile on his face, he watched Li Su take a hundred of his own soldiers and horses on the boat, and go to Chaohu Lake with the two thousand Jiujiang refugees under Jiang Qin's command.

"This guy can be regarded as a plan, I will go slowly, even if the road is delayed for one more day, wait for Qiu Yi and Zheng Bao to fight about the same, and then go to grab the benefits!"

As soon as Zu Lang finished thinking like this in his heart, Zhou Tai, who was in charge of rectifying the army on the other side, came over to report: "Marshal, the men and horses have been rectified, please give the order to set off, right?" ”

Zu Lang completely revealed his true colors: "What's the hurry? Check and check again, this time it is a fierce battle, you must be fully prepared! You must not run so tired that you can't fight when you get there! Let's rest in place for half a day! ”

Zu Lang still has to wait for Jiang Qin's reply, how can he leave now.

Zhou Tai was stunned for a while: "This ...... But during the military meeting yesterday, didn't the marshal personally order that he should prepare as soon as possible? ”

Zu Lang hated that iron could not be made of steel, and shook his head: "Youping! So you can only be a pioneer, who do you think you said yesterday? ”

Zhou Tai had no choice but to follow Zu Lang's order and stay in place for half a day.

……

As soon as Li Su sailed out of ten miles with the fleet by waterway, he called Guan Yu to the cabin to discuss countermeasures.

His ship is already the largest in the fleet, and it has one cabin.

"I look at Na Zulang, obviously he doesn't want to contribute, he just wants to share the benefits. Our men are all on this road now, and there is no one to supervise the army on the land side, so maybe he won't be able to reach the mouth of the Whiskers in three days! Li Su saw that he was surrounded by henchmen, and he didn't hide it, so he had a showdown.

"So what should I do?" Guan Yu also asked bluntly.

Li Su: "I want to win the army!" ”

Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, but he was not surprised: "Say it, I'll do it." ”

Li Su: "Let's say that Zu Lang betrayed the court and ordered Jiang Qin to murder us." With the degree of loyalty of the exile army to the commander of the sect, as long as it is faked, it is not difficult to kill its head and seize its subordinates. ”

If it was against the regular army, Li Su certainly didn't dare to take such a risk, because he knew that the regular army would not surrender so easily and reclaim its master.

But it's a different story with displaced people.

The displaced people did not raise the anti-flag, they were not even yellow turbans, and they did not have the courage to resist the imperial court. As long as there is a name in the name of the court to tell them who is right and who is wrong, they will soon be able to stabilize people's hearts.

In the last years of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the authority of the imperial court was still very useful.

Even in the early years of Dong Zhuo, when Liu Biao arrived as the pastor of Jingzhou, he invited a table of guests and killed a bunch of sect marshals at the wine table, and he subdued a considerable number of local forces of sect thieves, which is the reason.

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

Li Su: "Let's secretly change a boat first, sink this boat, lure Jiang Qin over, and kill him with one sword!" Then disguised that we were lucky to escape death, defend and counterkill, and promote Zulang's rebellion. ”

Guan Yu stopped talking, and immediately took a few henchmen and soldiers to prepare to do something in the cabin.

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

Li Su was quite surprised: "So fast? ”

Guan Yu's face sank, obviously extremely angry: "We don't need to do anything!" When I checked the bottom of the boat, I found that someone had already tampered with it in advance! ”

Li Su suddenly got up: "Zu Lang really wants to cause an accident and kill us? Fast! Change ships now! ”

The two old yin beeps and went together!

It saves Li Su from forging and framing the scene!

……

A few minutes later, Li Su's boat capsized in the morning light of the Buddha's dawn.

Jiang Qin, who was on another boat not far away, was shocked when he saw this: he was still hesitating whether to do it or not, how to find the right time to do it!

Li Suxu gave him an official body of 200 stones, and Jiang Qin was also very moved. But what Zu Lang said to Jiang Qin, he also felt a bit of truth - if Li Su mastered the army and really let these two thousand people attack to the death, the people here might suffer heavy casualties, which is also what Jiang Qin didn't want to see, and he also wanted to preserve his strength.

So I hesitated and procrastinated.

However, why did Li Su's ship really sink directly!

Could it be that when the subordinates did their hands and feet, the techniques were so rough that they sank in advance?

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

Another boat next to Li Su's personal soldiers also hurriedly came to the rescue.

"What's going on? Who did it, save don't drive! The surname is Jiang! How did you pick the boat, you dared to murder my family, don't drive! ”

Li Su's personal soldiers shouted loudly, and everyone made trouble in unison, hearing hundreds of steps, so that even if the surrounding boats did not come over, they knew the rights and wrongs of this matter.

Jiang Qin couldn't argue: "This ...... It's none of my business, I haven't done it yet! ”

He was in a hurry, but he said the wrong thing.

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

A violent roar suddenly came from the bow of the pro-soldier ship, and Guan Yu, who was originally bowing down, jumped up and jumped over the side of the ship with a knife:

"Jiang Qin thief! Dare to betray the court! ”

Although Jiang Qin is proficient in water and has good martial arts skills on the boat, he is still on the side of the boat at the moment, looking down for Li Su's body in the water.

As soon as he raised his head when he heard this, he was caught off guard and saw a huge blade coming towards him.

Jiang Qin's subordinates didn't react, and they saw Guan Yu already standing proudly at the bow of the boat, holding a knife in one hand and Jiang Qin's head in the other:

"Jiang Qin listened to Zu Lang's chaotic life, colluded with the thief Zheng Bao, and plotted to kill Li Beijia, I have already killed him - you don't know, the rest don't ask!"

Li Su also hurriedly shouted on the boat next to him: "You also heard Jiang Qin say it before he died, but fortunately, my life was not harmed." As for those who sabotaged the ships, I know that you have been deceived by Jiang Qin, and you do not know his intentions, as long as you kneel down and confess truthfully, I will not only not blame the past, but will also reward each of you with a pound of gold! ”

Under the heavy reward and temptation, sure enough, Jiang Qin's soldiers who were not determined knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that they had done something on Li Su's boat just now.

Li Su immediately cashed in the reward, and asked these pro-soldiers to explain aloud how they moved.

Then he ordered the sailors who were good at the water to use hemp rope and other things to go into the water and tie up the boat that had just sunk. The wooden boat was originally slow to sink, but the current of the Longshu River was soothing, and the victim boat was quickly found and bundled, towed to the shore and stranded.

Then Li Su asked the onlookers to verify it in public.

When everyone saw that the leaking position of the victim ship was completely consistent with the location of the destruction confessed by Jiang Qin's own soldiers, they completely believed Li Su and were completely subdued.

After all, in the past two days, they have gradually accepted their new identity, and most people think that they have been ordered by the imperial court and are going to be soldiers to eat food and get military salaries.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Su completely mastered the military power of the 2,000 people on the waterway.

Guan Yu saw that the situation was under control, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, stroking the knife beside him and sighing.

"Why is Yun Chang sighing?" Li Su asked with concern.

Guan Yu was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's me who came out too fast, and now that I think about it, Jiang Qin may still be hesitating, and he may not really be determined to help Zu Lang harm us." It's just that the situation was in crisis at that time, and I had to speak out, otherwise I would have tried to persuade him to surrender. ”

Li Su comforted: "At that time, I could only cut through the mess quickly, and I didn't have to feel guilty." Since Jiang Qin is dead, let's let him die more worthwhile - immediately design to go back and capture Zulang's men and horses, as a consolation to Jiang Qin's hesitation. ”

……

After subduing the exile army, Li Su ordered everyone to stop their boats and dock and camp on the spot, and not to act rashly without a new order.

Li Su personally took Guan Yu Dianwei and a hundred personal soldiers, changed into the clothes of Jiang Qin's personal soldiers, and then rode back to find Zu Lang - Li Su had already learned from the surrendered Jiang Qin personal soldiers that Zu Lang would delay in place for half a day, waiting for Li Su's death.

Since the conditions are so convenient, it would be too sorry for myself to pretend to be a secret envoy if I don't plan to do it.

Considering that the appearance characteristics of Guan Yu Dianwei and others were too obvious, Li Su also took care of them not only to cover their heads and faces, but also to try to bend their bodies so that they could look shorter.

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

Zu Lang also sent henchmen to patrol and respond outside the camp. When the little leader who led the patrol saw Li Su and his party coming back, he was still nervous at first, and asked closely: "Who are you?" ”

"We were sent by General Chiang to report to the marshal!" Li Su and his entourage learned all the names very similarly, and they were generals and marshals like thieves.

But the leader of the patrol camp was still suspicious: "Where did you get so many horses?" ”

"General Jiang has succeeded, these are all horses from the surname Li, General Jiang doesn't dare to keep them all, and by the way, he will give some to the marshal."

The patrol colonel no longer doubted them, and let them into the camp.

And the vast majority of people in the camp didn't know that Zu Lang and Li Su had turned their faces, they completely belonged to the melon-eating masses and rested idlely.

After entering the camp, Li Su made a look, and the group was divided into two units according to the plan.

Guan Yu took most of the people to protect Li Su, and when he was still fifty steps away from the big tent of the Chinese army, he turned to the side, and near Zhou Tai's camp tent, occupied a convenient terrain for defense and stood by, and protected Li Su with regiments-

Li Su didn't want to joke with his safety, so he would never have been to the assassination scene in person. And if there are too many people close to the big tent of the Chinese army, it will also cause Zu Lang to be alert in advance.

Therefore, only Dian Wei pretended to be Jiang Qin's secret envoy and went to assassinate him alone - Li Su's instruction to Dian Wei was that as long as he insisted for a short time after the assassination, he and Guan Yu would come to control the situation.

Li Su didn't let Dian Weibai take the risk, he promised to promote Dian Wei to the Marquis of Qu Jun after he returned, and reward him with ten catties of gold.

So Dian Wei went very excitedly. He has only been the tun chief for more than half a month, and he is going to be a Qu military marquis again, who doesn't want to be promoted so quickly.

It is also to blame that the Wandering People's Army lacks organizational discipline, and there is no need to search his body when he enters the big tent, and no one doubts what the package Dian Wei is carrying behind his back is.

Zu Lang sat upright in the central tent, heard the sound of footsteps and the sound of lifting the curtain, and asked proudly, "Gong Yi has succeeded?" He's neat, faster than I thought. ”

As he asked, Zu Lang raised his head, and then noticed that something was not quite right with the secret envoy in front of him.

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

As soon as Zu Lang raised his head, Dian Wei pulled out his halberd from his belt and threw it out, which was already right in Zu Lang's throat.

Dian Wei let out a tiger roar, tore the cloth bag wrapped in the weapon behind him, took out the double iron halberd and shouted: "Zu Lang colluded with Zheng Bao to rebel, and he has been discovered by the imperial court!" Those who descend will not be killed! ”
