Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

Su Xia hurriedly came over with a tea bowl and said: "My lord, you... come and have a drink too."

The one-eyed dragon looked at the county wall in the distance and took the tea bowl doubtfully. From his years of experience in traveling around the world - all Mongolian sweat medicine must have a unique taste, but after a sniff, this tea has no strange smell.

After all, ancient Mongolian sweat medicine was mixed with wine. If it is placed in tea, it will definitely have a unique taste.

The one-eyed dragon who was also hungry simply drank it all. Seeing that he drank it all, Su Xia hurriedly poured him another bowl: "Master, I'll give you another bowl if you're thirsty!"

Old Yuhou turned his head: "What do you think? I said it's okay. We're almost at the county seat, so it must be okay!"

Su Xia greeted with a smile: "Brothers, drink water, the money left by the military master just now is enough."

By this time, the one-eyed dragon no longer refused. In fact, he was already short of water and overdrafted. But as the head of the escort team, he was embarrassed and could not grab water from his escorts.

Halfway through, he also lost his so-called principles.

Everyone drank happily, and several escorts fell in front of the tea table one after another.

Old Yuhou also covered his head, and the bodyguard on the side wanted to support him, not wanting the two of them to faint and fall to the ground unconscious.

Only then did the one-eyed dragon realize that the teapot contained Mongolian sweat medicine, and it was a Mongolian sweat medicine that he had never seen before!

Most of the Mongolian sweat medicines seen in the past were put into wine, using mandrake as powder and put into the wine. The wine was used to cover the smell of the Mongolian sweat medicine. However, what he didn't expect today was actually the Mongolian sweat medicine mixed with tea, and he didn't notice it at all. Not aware.

Shaking his head, he pulled out the knife and wanted to resist, but saw the store owner walking proudly in front of him, smiling and saying: "Pour, pour, pour!"

"You guys, take the sweat medicine!"

The one-eyed dragon wanted to stand up restlessly and draw out his sword, but by now, he was at the end of his strength. Before he could draw out his sword, he collapsed into a ball and fell to the ground.

......

Su Xia looked at the escorts who fell on the ground and was already thinking about the future development of Salmon Island.

At present, if the island wants to develop, it is nothing more than development in three aspects: indigenous people, industry, and military.

There are too few residents on the island. Except for dozens of aborigines, Salmon Island has not been cultivated in the past ten years since it was developed as a prison camp for prisoners. There is no main industry on the island, so it can only fend for itself. .

Only economic development and agricultural security can allow the residents of the island to live and work in peace and contentment.

The third is the army. Once the court discovers its plan one day in the future, it will be invincible even if the sword is at war.

Now, the first step of the great undertaking - a birthday plan worth 10 taels has been obtained!

For Su Xia, this first pot of gold was a windfall.

Su Xia was still thinking about it, and Xiong Hui on the side came forward: "Sir, this plan is a dead end. All the brothers are in admiration for you. The Mongolian sweat medicine has fascinated 40 highly skilled bodyguards. I have to say that Dao There are so many talented people, I wonder how he prepared this prescription."

"Yes, who made such an exquisite formula of Mongolian sweat medicine?" Su Xia asked.

"It was formulated by a military officer named Sun Sihe in Laocheng camp. According to him, his ancestor is Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine!"

"Oh? Sun Simiao? Sun Simiao, the former king of medicine?

Yes, this person named Sun Sihe prepared this Mongolian sweat medicine using only common plants on the island. It is colorless and odorless. My brothers tried it, and just a little bit made several of the brothers who tried the medicine fall asleep for two days. "

Su Xia nodded and said: "This man is a great talent. We must protect him strictly when he returns to the island. If this operation is successful, he will be credited with a great contribution. In addition, since he is a pharmacist and a descendant of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, he can It is approved that he and other people on the island jointly open a medicinal food shop on Salmon Island, with special followers, and he will proceed accordingly.

Su Xia and Xiong Hui were explaining here.

In the distance, a column of Imperial Guard cavalry galloped over and surrounded the tea shed.

The leader of these people was none other than Zhao Wenhui, who was pretending to be an officer of the Forbidden Army outside Gaoqing County.

When he saw Su Xia, Zhao Wenhui raised his hands and said, "Sir, I am back with all my brothers."

"I saw it, not a single one is missing. Wen Hui, if you do this well, no one will die and no one will be hurt. You have also done a great job."

"It's all thanks to your master's careful planning. I never thought it would go so smoothly."

Su Xia nodded and continued to give instructions: "Load all the treasures into the car according to the established plan. Xiong Hui, you and Wen Hui will immediately tie up these escorts, and then evacuate the treasures to Shamen Island along the previously planned route. , no delays along the way."

The two immediately agreed.

After everything was over, Zhao Wenhui ordered the imperial army to retreat.

Su Xia ordered Zhao Wenhui and others to pretend to be the Forbidden Army for three purposes. The first purpose was to confuse the one-eyed dragon's bodyguards and steal their water, making them unbearably thirsty. Secondly, when they arrived at the tea shed, they deceived the one-eyed dragon and lured them to drink water.

The third use was when they were fascinated, Zhao Wenhui led the "Forbidden Army" to seal the road, and the people passing by did not dare to ask more questions, which also gave Su Xia and the others "opportunities to commit crimes."

.......

On the way back, Xiong Hui kept asking: "Sir, how did you think they would drink water in this tea shed?"

Su Xia smiled faintly: "It's very simple. It depends on the future. Zhao Wenhui has already drank all their water. They must be very short of water. In such a hot weather, they can skip food, but lack of water will be fatal. Although this one-eyed dragon He was very careful, but at this moment he could already see Gaoqing County and the people under the city wall, so he wouldn't be too nervous.

Let me tell you this truth - people always encounter risks when they think they are safe, and this is often the most dangerous time. "

Xiong Hui scratched his head: "Sir, this is a bit convoluted. How should I say this?"

"For example, the time of victory or the day of triumph is often the time when people are most likely to let down their guard, but it is also the time when things are most likely to go wrong."

Speaking of this, Su Xia couldn't help but think of an experience she had learned in the military academy.

At that time, my instructor told me that during World War II, the British army made statistics and found that their pilots were often highly nervous during battles and dodged enemy anti-aircraft shells.

But often when they are about to return to their own airport, they are secretly attacked and shot down by enemy artillery shells.

Psychologists analyze that this is what people call safety psychology.

In all battlefield environments, there is actually no moment of safety. Therefore, one must remain vigilant at all times, and the same applies to bodyguards.

Of course, you can't say this to Xiong Hui, and even if you say it, he won't understand.

Thinking of this, Su Xia smiled and said: "Actually, it was Zhao Wenhui's Forbidden Army who set up a trap for him to make him think that he had met the real Forbidden Army. I think at the beginning, he had some doubts about the identity of Zhao Wenhui and others' Forbidden Army. suspected.

But I chose not to let Zhao Wenhui have more contact. In this way, he relaxed his vigilance towards Zhao Wenhui. When he arrived in Gaoqing County, he naturally felt safe and let down his vigilance.

In addition, the water source has been occupied by Zhao Wenhui and the others. The team is short of water and cannot go on. They can only replenish water here. As you saw just now, he was still hesitant at first, but helplessly the people around him disagreed, and he swayed again. indefinite.

It was precisely because of this mentality that I concluded that he would definitely drink tea here. Without a single blow, all the 10 taels of silver would belong to our Salmon Island. "

Listening to Su Xia's eloquent talk, Xiong Hui couldn't help but sigh: "My lord, you are absolutely amazing and amazing. It is not an exaggeration to call you the contemporary Zhuge Liang. But, how should we deal with such a large sum of money?"
