Volume 3 Pen Knife Spring and Autumn Chapter 533 Caravan Operation
That night, after Cao Yi and Wang Zhiyuan finished discussing, they brought Gongye Yuanzhou, Zhang Qian and Kang Kui to discuss tomorrow's behavior, and it has been determined that tomorrow Wang Zhiyuan and Yun Qing will take fifty people and pretend to be in the second place of the caravan, which is now marked on the map Lingshan.
Take a walk over there, let the mountain bandits in Lingshan tone their voice, and extremely accidentally let a box fall to the ground, so that the silver ingots full of it are exposed, and once to attract the bandits to attack.
Of course, for the sake of safety, it is better to let Gongye Yuanzhou and a hundred people ambush not far away, waiting for Wang Zhiyuan and Yunqing to signal them, if the fifty caravans pretended to be Taibai Secret Guards cannot level the bandits, then they will work together to subdue them, if they can do it, they will also prevent the defeated bandits from escaping not far away, and they will intercept them.
"Fifty? Is it enough? Will it be unsafe, I'm afraid that the far water won't be able to save the near fire at that time. Gongye Yuanzhou said worriedly.
"Theoretically speaking, it is more than enough for us to let fifty Taibai secret guards pretend to be caravans, I used the Qianli Divine Mirror to look at it before, and there were only fifty or sixty bandits in Lingshan, and at that time they happened to have someone catching and practicing martial arts, I took a look, and the level was not at the beginning." Wang Zhiyuan said.
"But for the sake of safety, I discussed with Cao Yi to bring an extra hundred people, so that you can lead the team to ambush beside you." Wang Zhiyuan said to Gongye Yuanzhou.
Gongye Yuanzhou nodded, since the military advisors said so, then he wouldn't say anything more, and he also trusted the military advisor's judgment and strategy.
"Then I'll order the people tonight and agree in advance with the one hundred and fifty people who will leave tomorrow, so that they can leave early tomorrow morning......" Gongye Yuanzhou responded.
Now the Taibai Secret Guard is led by him, so which one hundred and fifty people will set off tomorrow is also up to Gongye Yuanzhou.
"Hmmm! You tell them in advance at night, and Brother Yun, since you pretend to be a caravan tomorrow, then pretend to be realistic, the carriage and boxes are prepared in advance, and at least one box of silver must be filled, that is, the box that will deliberately fall to the ground tomorrow must be filled. Cao Yi first instructed Gongye Yuanzhou, and then talked to Yun Qing again.
"Well, I know, but Childe, because of the convoy of fifty people, there will be at least ten carriages tomorrow, and at least sixty or seventy boxes, except for the box full of silver, then the other boxes are empty?" Yun Qing felt in her heart that there was no need to install anything, but since Gongzi was here, let her ask more, and there was a mistake in the back of the province. ”
"Well, you don't need any silver for the other chests, but let's put some dirt or stones in them." Cao Yi said after thinking for a moment.
"Childe, is this ......" Yun Qing asked puzzledly, and the others also looked at Cao Yi with puzzled expressions, not knowing why Childe made such an arrangement.
"I'm mainly afraid that there are people who observe carefully in the other bandits, if we fill a box with silver ingots, and the other boxes are empty, I am afraid that some people in the bandits will see from the degree that the wheels of the carriage are sunk into the ground that most of our departments are empty boxes, arousing their suspicion, so that they will not take the bait, if they don't take the bait, Uncle Wang also said that that place is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we will spend more manpower and energy to take Lingshan."
Cao Yi patiently explained to everyone.
"Childe is really Childe, what he thinks about is comprehensive and thoughtful, we would never have thought of this situation." Zhang Qian sighed, indeed, none of them thought of the details of this aspect, if Cao Yi hadn't said it, otherwise they would never have paid attention to it.
Otherwise, these people showed puzzled expressions on their faces when Cao Yi finished saying that the other boxes were required to be filled with dirt or stones.
"Although among the mountain bandits, there may not be anyone who pays bad attention to this, but we still do this with the mentality of leaving no clues, and do our best!" Cao Yi explained with a smile.
The others nodded slowly, agreeing with what Cao Yi said, while Ji Taixiang on the side looked very touched and thoughtful. When Cao Yi arranged for Gongye Yuanzhou, Kang Kui and Zhang Qian to come over, he didn't avoid Ji Taixiang, he just hoped that he could stay and watch more and learn more, and now looking at the expression on his face, there must still be some gains.
On the morning of the second day, Cao Yi also got up early, he didn't have to get up so early, but after discussing it last night, Cao Yi decided to join Wang Zhiyuan and Yun Qing and others, and also pretended to be a member of the caravan.
Originally, according to the distance from Ziji Mountain Villa to Lingshan, there was no need to get up so early, but this fifty people pretending to be a caravan, except for Wang Zhiyuan and Yun Qing, the other Taibai secret guards all needed to dress up in disguise, that is, they had to rely on Yun Qing to give them a little easier looks.
They don't need much, just give each of them a tanned face and stick their beards on. It's really because the current Taibai Secret Guards are all fifteen or sixteen years old, or seventeen or eighteen years old, and it is normal for one or two of them to be in the caravan at this age, but if there are more than forty people in the entire caravan, all of them are such half-sized babies, then it is really strange everywhere.
That's why Cao Yi asked Yun Qing to give everyone a slight drop in their faces, and as for the other hundred people, they didn't need to. However, even if it is fifty people, it will take a lot of time, but fortunately, the Taibai Secret Guard usually has special training for disguise, so part of the work of the Taibai Secret Guard is completed by himself.
Yun Qing is nothing more than to give them the last control, to see if there is any kind of makeup that is particularly fake at first glance, and if there is, adjust it for them.
But even so, in the end, it took half an hour for Guang Yirong to disguise himself, but fortunately, the road from Ziji Mountain Villa to Lingshan was not very far, otherwise it would not be much faster according to the speed of the cargo carriage.
By the end of the morning, Cao Yi and his group were already close to Liling Mountain, and Wang Zhiyuan asked the team to slow down the speed so that the bandits could pay attention to it, so that they could fish and enforce the law.
Cao Yi is really afraid that the bandits in the Lingshan Valley here have a bad professional attitude, and now they are still sleeping at this point, and they have not sent anyone to arrange people to observe the intelligence near their Lingshan, I am afraid that they have already gone too far, and the bandits in the Lingshan Mountain have not come to rob things.
Here, when Wang Zhiyuan and Cao Yi were letting the team walk slowly, at the top of the mountain near the Lingshan Valley, there were two bandits complaining to each other.
"Lao Ye, do you say that our village owner is stupid because of drinking, our Black Wind Village is also famous in this vicinity, where is there a caravan with less people and more money will take this road, this has been more than two months without a caravan passing by again, why does the owner of the village still want us to patrol outside day after day, according to me, we might as well go directly to the surrounding villages to rob it." One of the younger bandits said to another, middle-aged, burly bandit.
"You be careful, maybe there will be other people around here who will listen to it, and then report it to the owner of the village behind your back, then you will wait to be punished by the owner of the village."
"What's this, it's really getting harder and harder, when was the last time a caravan passed by, it was almost three months ago, right? In the past three months, there was no harvest in this area, and in the end there was no choice but to take people to a nearby village to grab grain. The young bandit grumbled again.
However, this young bandit is still carefully observing the situation in the direction of the entrance of the valley, and if there is really a caravan passing here, it will usually come out in this direction.
"Huh! Big root, did you see that? The young bandit suddenly reached out and pulled the arm of the other bandit, and said excitedly.
"What Ali, don't be joking." Even if Dagen had comforted this young bandit named Ali to believe that there would definitely be a caravan passing by here, he also knew that the probability was extremely low, but after the real thing happened, he felt that his companion was joking again without seeing it.
"Really, Dagen, it's true, it's no good for me to lie to you, look at it, there's really a caravan coming!" Ali pulled Dagen's arm and said excitedly.
Seeing that Ali was so excited, Dagen had to turn his head to look, and then he saw Dagen's eyes wide open, and he opened his mouth slightly, "This...... There was a caravan coming! ”
"Big root! I think one of the two of us should hurry back to the village and tell the owner that after more than two months, another caravan has finally come to give us money! Ali said excitedly.
"Wait!" After all, Dagen is old, so in the face of this unexpected caravan, he can still maintain a little patience and reason.
"Ali, let's first carefully observe how many people and several convoys the other party has, so as to judge whether the oil and water of this caravan are high, and then go to report to the owner of the village." Dagen explained.
"Yes, yes, yes! If I rush back in such a hurry and tell the owner of the village that there is a caravan passing by outside, the owner of the village asks how many people and how many carriages I have, and I don't know if I know it, then I will be miserable. Ali patted his chest and said with palpitations.
"Haha, who is with whom, I naturally want to remind you, as long as you can remember my good in the future and give me a few more sips of wine, I will be satisfied." Dagen said with a smile.
Both of them opened their eyes wide, staring at the caravan that Wang Zhiyuan and they were pretending to be in front of them, at this time they were still some distance away from them, but they could vaguely see a few carriages with the naked eye, as for the number of people on it, they couldn't see it very clearly, but at least they could guess the general content.
"There are eleven wagons in all, a lot of money, and there are about forty or fifty caravan members...... Ali: Is that what you see? Ogan asked after taking a closer look.
"Poor...... It's about the same, the carriage is eleven, and the number of people is not very clear, but it should be very different, this is the number. ”
