I am not a counselor, I am trying to survive in the late Han Dynasty

Chapter 10 I know Taoism!

The wind is cold and the water is cold.

Watching Xu Shu's figure in the pool gradually turn into a black dot, Cheng Yu stood still in the cold wind, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Xu Shu took away a total of 300 people, which was not a lot, but he also took away three hundred stones of military rations. Each grain of rice was like a knife cutting into Cheng Yu's heart. He was kind, calm and calm on the surface. They were chatting and laughing, but his heart was filled with resentment, violence, and anger. If he could go back to last night, he would have eaten Xu Shusheng in pieces without hesitation, without even dipping it in sauce.

"You just let him go like this? You just let him go like this?" Wen Ji, who had just returned from withdrawing his troops happily, was furious when he heard that Xu Shu actually rebelled and led a group of people to steal a large amount of food and went to Liangshan.

He looked at Xu Shu's almost invisible back, and remembered jumping up and down, scratching his hair, and his eyes almost popped out of his head.

Shame, shame!

He thought that Xu Shu was a talented person, but after working for a long time, he didn't want anything else from the beginning. He and Cheng Yu were actually fooled around by him. How could he swallow this?I just can’t swallow a little bit. How come you, Cheng Yu, are so calm and calm, just watching by the water?

Cheng Yu crossed his arms and sneered:

"Let him go."

"what?"

"Hey, Yuan Zhi is very courageous, but he lacks some strategy - he brought so much food into the mountains, wouldn't he be like a baby walking at night carrying treasures? This is too much to underestimate the thieves in the mountains."

Wen Ji was stunned and asked curiously:

"How did Mr. Cheng know that there were thieves in this mountain?"

Cheng Yu said disdainfully:

"Just now you saw hundreds of fishermen on the shore, all sitting around and drying their nets. When they saw you coming, they all jumped into the water to escape and gave over 100 fishing boats to you. Are you not surprised?"

"Uh..." Wen Ji scratched his head, "It's weird, now imagine that even though we have bows and crossbows, we can't scare them all into jumping into the water. Moreover, among them gathered here, there are only young men and no women and children. , that is to say..."

"Hmph, that is to say, those bandits deliberately showed weakness and deliberately left the boat behind, hoping to lure us into the mountains and fight with them in the water.

At such a young age, I naturally wouldn't be fooled. "

Wen Ji suddenly realized that if Xu Yuanzhi fled to Liangshan with so much food, he would be besieged by the water thieves along the way.

These water thieves deliberately set up this trap, and they would not be able to reason with Xu Shu politely. How could the deserters temporarily led by Xu Shu defeat the well-prepared water thieves?
but……

"If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid he would have died, but Xu Yuanzhi was brave and resourceful, and had deliberately planned to go up the mountain. He might have colluded with the water thieves in the mountain. If he had left it alone, he would have caused a great disaster to our army in the future."

"How is that possible..." Cheng Yu laughed dumbly.

If Xu Shu had colluded with these water thieves, the water thieves would have turned back and carried away all the rice and food in their army when they held him hostage. How could they leave in such a hurry?

He just wanted to ridicule Wen Ji, but then he thought of Xu Shu's sudden shocking sword strike, and his heart sank.

Yes, Xu Shu is brave and careful, and a warrior. If he is allowed to spend this winter freely, Cheng Yu will not be able to swallow this sigh of relief.

But just chase after him like that?
No, the big enemy now is still Lu Bu. After the spring begins, there will be a decisive battle between Cao Cao and Lu Bu. How can I ruin Cao Cao's plan just because of my fault?

and many more!

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu suddenly remembered something.

Yes, how could I forget that Lu Bu was nearby?

"Zifeng!"

"Yes!"

"How many prisoners of Lu Bu's army are there in our army?"

"It seems there aren't many left. Aren't they all eaten by Mr. Fu?"

Cheng Yu glared at Wen Ji:
"Go back quickly and find a way to put them back. Find a way to let them know that my subordinate Xu Shu has occupied Liangshan and wants to attack Lu Bu with both my east and west forces!"

Xu Shu, Xu Shu, if you think you are brave, then give Lu Bu a fight.

Let me see how you survive this time!
·
Xu Shu led more than 300 of his men into the separate reed swamps and penetrated deep into the smog. The bare Liangshan Mountains were clearly visible.

This small hill of less than 198 meters looks like a corpse with its makeup removed on a gloomy early winter afternoon. Its pale, cold skin and large patches of corpses are clearly visible, making people feel even more depressed.

Xu Shu's soldiers had calmed down from the initial excitement of escaping. Looking at the hill in front of them, their eyes were full of confusion.

Going to be a thief...

What's next?
After leaving Cheng Yu, this crazy man-eating demon, the road in front of him may not be the way to survive.

There are dense reeds in the Liangshan Mountains, and the cold pool is bottomless. The bone-chilling cold rises from the water, freezing everyone's hearts. They feel vaguely that there seems to be some terrifying monster hidden in the bottomless water. If the boat capsizes, I'm just afraid that everyone will turn into a meal for monsters.

Even if they go up the mountain, Cheng Yugang's fierce and violent temper will probably not let them go. These people who have been thieves certainly know what the outcome will be if they are caught after betrayal.

In confusion, they all turned their attention to Xu Shu. This was their only hope now.

"You said you won't run now, but you are really planning to go up the mountain!" Mr. Ai has now joined Xu Shu. Hearing that Xu Shu made a big circle, grabbed grain, grass and weapons from Cheng Yu, gathered his troops and went up the mountain, he was disdainful.

He was shivering from the cold, folded his arms in front of his chest, and muttered: "Mother, I don't know what you think, but you have to fight Cheng Yu! You didn't even discuss it with me at the time, so you just used this Trick, it scared me so much that I almost peed my pants.”

Xu Shu smiled apologetically:

"If I tell you the truth, and wait until Cheng Yu tortures you to tell the truth, wouldn't all my previous efforts have been wasted? At least in this way, I can go to Liangshan as the teacher said. I don't think that the person who comes to this world like the teacher will be able to do it." You’ll blame me.”

"You fart!" Mr. Ai stomped his feet angrily, "My mother, we were desperate at that time. I asked you to go hide together in the mountains. You have gained the trust of Cheng Yu, and he even made you an official. Why don't you do it? Why do you still have to come to this mountain to be a thief?
Just be a thief, what do you mean? "

Mr. Ai pointed at the neatly arranged sacks on the boat, his face twisted with anger:

"Do you look down on the thieves in the mountains? You brought so much food into the mountains because you were afraid that they wouldn't rob you, right?"

Xu Shu chuckled, took out the dagger given by Cheng Yu, and wiped it gently with his shabby Confucian robe.

"Yeah, I'm afraid they won't come to rob me."

Not only was Mr. Ai dumbfounded now, but Xu He, who had been quite respectful to Xu Shu along the way, also froze on the spot and said anxiously:
"General, how do you know there are thieves in this mountain, and why do you still want to attack us?"

Xu Shu said leisurely:
"When Cheng Yu and I first arrived, we found a fishing village on the water's edge with over a hundred fishing boats. The fishing boat we are currently riding on was left behind by them.

When Wen Ji discovered them, these fishermen jumped into the water to escape in fear and abandoned the fishing boats. In vain, I was able to wait for so many boats, which were enough to conquer Liangshan.

Do you think there is such a coincidence in this world? "

"Moreover, there are over a hundred fishermen, but there are no old, young, women, or children in the village. They are just a group of strong men. Even if they are afraid of our bows and arrows, they will not abandon the boat. This shows that Cheng Yu is cautious, but he leaked the news early. The thieves on the mountain have already arrived in advance. Be prepared."

Mr. Ai opened his eyes wide, drooled, and scratched his head:

"What are you talking about? What does this have to do with them abandoning the ship? We... ah no, Cheng Yu didn't have a ship, so they had to give the ship to Cheng Yu so that Cheng Yu could beat them?"

Xu He had already seen the key and said solemnly:
"The hills of Liangshan can hide thousands of people. You can't farm on the mountain, so you can only go to nearby areas to rob homes.

If Cheng Yu led his army to besiege for a long time, the people on the mountain would starve to death, so they made a plan and deliberately pretended to be panic and abandoned the fishing boats, hoping that Cheng Yu would send troops to go up the mountain to attack. Win the water battle! "

"Hiss..." Mr. Ai took a breath of cold air, and his back molars were so cold, "Is this like this? Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu saw it, so he didn't fall into the trap?"

Xu He smiled bitterly and said:
"Cheng Yu came here just to see if the people stationed in the mountain are under the command of the Five Thieves of Mount Tai.

If it were the five thieves, they would first put away the fishing boat, and then call for reinforcements to cut off Cheng Yu's return.

As soon as Cheng Yu saw the bandit's military skills, he knew that the coming general was not one of the five bandits. In this case, he didn't bother to argue with the bandits in the mountain. It would be best if he could capture them all. If not, he would quickly return to Juancheng.

General Xu was more resourceful than Cheng Yu and saw the flaw in it! "

Xu He answered very excitedly, but Mr. Ai's hair stood up when he heard it.

"My mother, you have already seen that they have an ambush, why are you still coming?" He reached out and grabbed Xu Shu's neck and shook it hard, "My mother, these people dare to lead so many people like Cheng Yu. Ambush, what are you doing, do you think you are Lu Bu or Dian Wei? Run!"

Xu Shu said curiously:

"Who is Dian Wei, who can be ranked alongside Lu Bu?"

"What do you care about this!" Mr. Ai stamped his feet vigorously. The fishing boat shook slightly. Xu He was unsteady and almost fell down.

"Look, look at these people under your command! If they can't fight on land and can still run, how can they run on water?
Do you really think that these water thieves are gentlemen and can still talk to you? "

Xu He said sharply:
"Don't be rude to the general! Since the general has seen through the thief's ambush, he must have a way to deal with it!"

"This..." A glimmer of hope ignited in Mr. Ai's heart, "Is there a way? Oh, if there is a way, please tell me clearly, ah, I guessed it, you actually don't want to go up the mountain at all. Do you want to go somewhere else by water?"

Xu Shu sat with his hands on his knees and said with a smile:

"It's freezing cold and there are endless battles everywhere. Where can we escape? It's better to go up to this mountain first and occupy the mountain to wait for the opportunity. With this water base, our army can avoid the disaster of war this winter."

Mr. Ai blinked his mung bean eyes and said expectantly:
"So, you already have a way to deal with the thieves on the mountain, tell me now."

Xu He also said expectantly:
"Yes, we all know that the general has a clever plan, and if he tells it, it will give us some peace of mind."

Xu Shu smiled and said:

"In that case, I will make it clear."

He made a Taoist secret with his right hand, with a solemn expression on his face, and said loudly:
"To be honest, when I was a wanderer, I had a famous teacher and learned a few Taoist techniques. Although I didn't have the ability to move mountains and seas, or call wind and rain.

But if the thieves in the mountains don't come, that's fine. If they come, I'll ask them to kneel down and apologize to me immediately! "

Xu He:……

Mr. Ai:......
