Three Kingdoms

  Everything was according to plan, except that Ren Jun was accidentally blood-stained on the long street and was seriously injured.

   This is beyond the imagination of many people, including Xun Yu.

  But this is not so unbelievable, after all, most of the plans are beautiful, but when they are implemented, there are always problems with one side or the other.

   Those who assassinated Ren Jun were not the group that was originally arranged.

  The fake assassins used arrows without the arrowheads, but the real assassins used a crossbow!

  Fortunately, Ren Jun wore inner armor under his loose robe to protect important parts, but he was still shot in the right shoulder, piercing two holes, bleeding profusely, and lost his fighting power for a long time...

  Although Ren Jun himself is not known for his force, it also means that Cao Cao's side has temporarily lost a general who can guard Xu County.

  The occurrence of an accident disrupted the discussion between Cao Pi and Xun Yu on the situation in Guanzhong and Shandong, and then turned into dealing with the immediate affairs.

  『Who did it? 』

  Cao Pi was furious.

   Xun Yu was silent, frowning.

  Ren Jun married the daughter of the Cao family, and she was Cao Cao's younger sister in terms of seniority, so Cao Pi was serious and needed to call her uncle. Although Congmei is not a real sister, and my uncle is somewhat discounted, but Ren Jun was injured, which also affected the largest combat unit around Xu County, Yingchuan Tuntian Soldiers!

   At that time, Xu County will be in turmoil...

  The assassin had already died of poison, and of course he didn't have any special marks on his body.

  The weapon used for the murder is the bow and crossbow.

   Obviously, it is a standard weapon produced under the hussars.

  Quick, ruthless, accurate, one is the propaganda slogan of hussar standard weapons...

  Now it is used on his own relatives, which makes Cao Pi feel a little bit sad, and because of this, he feels angry, and of course it is more fear.

  『One hundred steps away! Hit with a crossbow! Severe armor penetration! Cao Pi said angrily, "In Xu County, which street is 100 paces wide?" ! If it is near the street...if...」

  Cao Pi shivered before he finished speaking. Obviously thought of some bad pictures.

  No one can say that wearing heavy armor on the streets every day, if...

   It's like Ren Jun's item. Even if he had planned to be "assassinated" early, he would still be hit by a crossbow arrow. What if he didn't wear armor in normal times? Isn't it true that from top to bottom, everyone is living in the grace of others not to kill?

  Such a sharp weapon, why can it be sold everywhere?

  Why not banned? !

  Isn’t the law of the Han Dynasty expressly prohibiting crossbows?

   Is there still any royal law, and is there still the spirit of the covenant? !

  『The hussars did it, right? ! ’ Cao Pi said angrily. He waved his arms like a frightened little animal, and had to use extra movements and sounds to hide his fear.

   Xun Yu sighed slightly, "It's Jiangdong. 』

  『I knew...huh? Koto? 』Cao Pi was taken aback, then blinked.

   Xun Yu raised his head and looked to the west, "If you are a hussar, you don't need to use this tactic. What's more, if the hussars are in Chang'an, they want to provoke the lord with this assassination, and lure the lord into the army. Ren Zhonglang... is not the best target... If the hussars are not in Chang'an, they will not easily provoke... so as not to fight on both sides...』

  This matter is not difficult to guess.

  Of course, Xun Yu is not like the Zhuge described by Mr. Luo, always talking about how the three-year-old is doing, he just has some slight emotions, or sadness, as if he saw the majestic statue of a big man lying on the ground, the color is not bright, no matter who he is, he can **** on his head.

   Hussars have no reason to do this.

   If you really want to assassinate, whether it is Cao Cao, Cao Pi, or Xun Yu, they are better and more valuable targets than Ren Jun, and assassination is often the most effective when you are unprepared. Just like this time, if Ren Jun hadn't been arranged to be "assassinated", maybe the assassin would have been noticed by the guards when he opened the window...

   It's just that Ren Jun and his guards didn't expect that what he encountered was a real assassin.

   As for Jiang Dong, the reasons are so sufficient that they don't even need to be elaborated.

  『Jiangdong? ”Cao Pi frowned, “How dare Jiang Dong? ! Jiang Dong is not afraid...」

  Xun Yu was silent for a moment, "I heard that Jiangdong Zhou Gongjin is seriously ill...I'm afraid it won't last long..."

  Cao Cao has Cao Cao's troubles, and Sun Quan has Sun Quan's difficulties.

  In these years, it is not easy for anyone to face the oppression of Fiqian's powerful military forces, coupled with the economic harvest. Especially in Jiangdong where three waves of soldiers have already been dispatched, but Cao Cao rushed to Youbei on the bright side...

  Cao Pi wandered around the hall twice, "Jiangdong, hey! Koto! 』

  Xun Yu lowered his eyelids, "My lord, although most of this was done by Jiangdong...but now, it can be done by Huqi..."

  『Ah...ah? ”Cao Pi stopped, stared at Xun Yu, and nodded suddenly after a while, “Indeed. 』

  『The prince please give an order to capture the assassin’s accomplices...』 Xun Yu said with his hands clasped.

  Although Ren Jun was really assassinated, there was an accident on the stage that was set up, but what should be sung in the play must be sung.

   It was Cao Jun soldiers who had already been on standby for orders. After receiving the signal, they immediately rushed out from the prime minister's mansion and the school army field, and quickly suppressed and extinguished the chaotic sparks in Xu County.

   After all, the chaos is too much, and it is not beautiful.

  …d(·｀ω·d*)…

   Wancheng.

   After defeating Cao Zhen, Wancheng was in a state of panic for a while.

  In the Jingzhou area, Huang Zhong's prestige is known to every household, so although Cao Jun suffered a big loss, he didn't immediately turn his face and make any big moves. It's just that everyone knows that this matter is far from over.

  In the past few days, Huang Zhong has personally inspected the city wall with his trilogy, checking for gaps and making up for omissions.

  The merchants in the city were divided into two parts. One part stayed in Wancheng and became a permanent household registration in Wancheng, while the other part fled Wancheng in a hurry after finding out that there was no crime.

  Because of the tense relationship with Cao Jun, Wancheng's business has basically stagnated.

  After Pang Shanmin governed the Pang family, there was no voice for the time being, but if these Pang family members just kept their own law and order, they would never have any indiscriminate intentions...

  Who will believe it?

   It's only temporary, as for how long it will last, no one can say.

  When Huang Zhong led people to patrol the city wall on a routine basis, suddenly a soldier shouted, and found a group of people rushing from the east, and Cao Jun soldiers were chasing after him!

  Jiang Gan led Huang Wan and rode to the front on horseback.

  Huang Wan is old, and he thinks he can still escape, but when he actually escapes, he realizes that his body is really unbearable, and he is out of breath. If it weren't for Jiang Gan dragging him to death, and then there were those few strong men behind him, he would never have thought how far he could escape.

  Huang Wan didn't talk too much nonsense, after all, even if he was struggling to breathe now, he just felt a heart beating wildly in his chest, his face was a little purple, and his eyes were fixed on Wancheng in the distance, just like Wu Zixu staring at Shaoguan.

  Jiang Gan didn’t have the so-called romanticism of a celebrity, his face was stained with sweat and dust, his robes were crooked, and even his turban was messed up. He just stared at Wancheng with red eyes, and shouted loudly: "Help me!" Save Huang Situ quickly! 』

  Behind Huang Wan and Jiang Gan, those strong men wore simple armor and used iron rods and long spears to intercept Cao Jun's pursuit. Some people were wounded, and some people's shields were half broken during the fight, and the wooden scum under the cowhide was incompletely exposed, and they were all in a mess.

  『General! The Wancheng soldiers looked at Huang Zhong.

   Huang Zhong frowned, thought for a moment, then ordered the soldiers to be on alert, and went to inform Pang Shanmin.

  Cao Jun chased closer and closer.

   Among Huang Wan and Jiang Gan's party, some people fought back and tried to block Cao Jun's pursuit. Although they did block it for a while, they were soon chopped down by Cao Jun. Blood sprayed and screamed, and it was extremely tragic for a while.

  After all, Huang Wan was old and his body was stiff. Although Jiang Gan dragged the reins of the horse and tried his best to make Huang Wan's horse follow behind, but after all, because he couldn't match the rhythm of the horse's galloping, not only was the person extremely painful, but even the horse was also suffering.

  The war horse under Huang Wan was snorting. I don't know if it was because his physical strength and endurance were about to be exhausted, or because Jiang Gan had been dragging and causing skin friction and pain.

  『Huang Gong! 』

  Jiang Gan exclaimed.

  Huang Wan also wheezed like a war horse under him, unable to speak at all, but raised his hand slightly, signaling Jiang Gan to go first and leave him alone.

  Jiang Gan gritted his teeth, and then yelled, and then rushed his horses forward, yelling towards the top of Wancheng, "Help people! Help me..."

   Huang Zhong stood at the top of the city, watching the two groups of people running closer and closer, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.

  Cao Jun cavalry did not use bows and arrows to shoot. On the one hand, the throwing accuracy was not good.

  Besides the scribe with crooked robes, Huang Zhong also took advantage of the gradually rising morning light to see clearly that there was a gray-haired old man in the fleeing queue. The horse under his crotch might be considered a good horse, but the old man's riding skills were really poor, which slowed down the horse's speed. And behind the old man, some strong men are intercepting Cao Jun's pursuit.

  Most of them were covered in blood, they just gritted their teeth to protect the old man and ran forward.

  The scribes were still shouting loudly, and their voice gradually became clear, "...Huanggong, save Huang Situ! Huang Situ has a secret edict from the emperor...』

  Huang Zhong's eyes were fixed, "Bring a certain iron bow! 』

  A cavalryman of the Cao army broke through the barriers of the guards and approached Huang Wan while everyone was screaming. Just as he was about to cut Huang Wan off his horse with a single knife, he heard a sharp whistling sound in the air.

   Cao Jun's soldiers were horrified, and then looked up one after another, and saw the general wearing a red cloak on the top of Wancheng, the longbow in his hand, and the cold light shining on the longbow!

  …Σ(дlll)…

  In Wancheng.

  Jiang Gan slumped on the ground without any image, panting heavily, looking like he was alive after a catastrophe.

  Huang Wan almost died half-life, unable to even move. Although there were no fatal wounds on Huang Wan's body, only scrapes and bruises accidentally caused when he was running away, it seemed that he was three points worse than the strong man who was cut and stabbed beside him.

  In Wancheng, there are naturally military doctors.

  Huang Wan’s men had basically been caught up on the way to escape, or they had died to cover Huang Wan’s escape, and most of the remaining people were recruited by Jiang Gan. Among them, the most brave and strong man had large and small wounds on his body. Under the treatment and bandage of the Wancheng military doctor, he didn’t say a word.

  Such behavior naturally attracted secret praise from the Wancheng soldiers who were on duty outside the house.

  There are people who are slightly injured, and of course there are also those who are seriously injured, but fortunately, the wounds are relatively large and not fatal.

  『Where is Mr. Huang? Pang Shanmin walked in, looked around, saw Huang Wan, stepped forward, frowned and asked the military doctor, "How is Mr. Huang?" Why can't he be treated? 』

  The military doctor replied: "There is no serious injury, just loss of strength... It is best to rest for a while, otherwise..."

  Huang Wan also somewhat slowed down at this moment. Although he still couldn't stand up, he struggled and said: "The world is like this...what a pity...a cough, a cough, a cough, a crippled body..."

  Pang Shanmin hurriedly asked Huang Wan to be lifted up, let Huang Wan lean on it, and then bowed to salute, "The mountain people have seen Huang Gong. 』

  Huang Wan nodded, then pointed to Jiang Gan and introduced, "Come on, Jiujiang Jiang Gan, Jiang Ziyi, you are also a loyal man." If not...cough cough, if it wasn't for him, the old man would have died in Xu Ye...this strong man, uh...」

  Huang Wan pointed at the strong and strong man, and originally wanted to praise him, after all, he blocked Huang Wan's knife or two when he fled all the way. Because this strong man was brought by Jiang Gan, he was extremely nervous along the way, and no one had time to chat about his life.

  『This is Jizhou Zhen Min and Zhen Zifu...』Jiang Gan added from the side,『This is a loyal and brave man! In the past, when Dong Zhongying was in chaos in Luoyang, he once joined his sect, looking for an opportunity to kill the national traitors, but later his traces were exposed, and he had no choice but to escape from all directions... Later, when he met Qingxu, he had more security guards. Today, it is also thanks to his bravery that he has defended all the way. 』

   After finishing speaking, Jiang Gan deliberately got up and gave Zhen Min a deep bow.

  Zhen Min hurried forward to help.

  Pang Shanmin was naturally full of praise.

  After the mutual introduction, Pang Shanmin asked, "I heard...that there is a secret edict from the Son of Heaven?" 』

  Huang Wan was taken aback.

  Jiang Gan took the lead first, nodded and said, "That's right! Huang Gong once received a secret edict from the emperor, and wanted to order the hussars to march eastward, save the emperor, punish the rebellious officials, and rectify the universe! 』

  Huang Wan seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just nodded, "I am old and incompetent... I can't get rid of adultery, I can only follow the example of the sages, go to Wuguan, ask for hussars to help the Han Dynasty, help the emperor, and eliminate traitors!" 』

  The amount of information was too large, which made Pang Shanmin overwhelmed for a while.

  What happened in Xu County?

  Seeing this, Jiang Gan said that Cao Cao was asking to resign from the prime minister on the surface, but in fact he was persecuting the emperor, and he wanted to go further by retreating.

  『Please resign from the prime minister? ”Pang Shanmin repeated.

  Jiang Gan nodded.

  In the three or four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the elderly courtiers resigned. I don’t know how many, but Cao Cao is obviously different.

  Pang Shanmin did not believe that Cao Cao would give up his power easily, so even if Cao Cao really resigned as the prime minister, Cao Cao still holds military power and controls the Shangshutai, so he can still control the government. Even if he is not the prime minister, he is better than the prime minister.

   And when the hussars were traveling westward and expeditioning to the Western Regions, what was Cao Cao's move for?

  Many thoughts flooded in, making it difficult for Pang Shanmin to understand for a while.

   Shaking his head, Pang Shanmin could only put aside speculation about Cao Cao's intentions, and instead faced the current question, "So, may I ask Mr. Huang... what about the edict of the Son of Heaven?" Can I take a look below? 』

  Since it is an edict, of course there must be a written document.

  Huang Wan hadn't spoken yet, but Jiang Gan seemed to be quick to speak, and rushed to say a few words: "It's the emperor's edict... er, sorry, sorry..."

  Jiang Gan shrank his neck, and stepped back.

  Pang Shanmin turned to look at Huang Wan.

  Huang Wan took a deep breath, sighed a long time, and then said: "Indeed...it is true. At that time, the incident happened suddenly...Additionally, the Shangshutai also fell into the hands of Cao thief, and the emperor's orders were difficult to leave the Chongde Hall...However, the emperor did mention to the old man many times that we should eliminate adultery, wipe out traitors, stabilize the great Han society, and revive the words of Zhongxing...』

  Huang Wan spoke sincerely. Of course he wasn't lying, after all, Emperor Liu Xie had expressed such an attitude in private before, implying that Huang Wan would deal with Cao Cao, but Huang Wan really didn't have the ability.

  Pang Shanmin frowned even more when he heard this.

  This means that there is no written version of the edict, and there is no token. It can be said that there is nothing, just oral communication?

  『This…』Pang Shanmin frowned.

  Huang Wan stood up tremblingly, and then saluted Pang Shanmin.

  Pang Shanmin was not willing to accept it, so he quickly helped him.

  Huang Wan grabbed Pang Shanmin's arm, her eyes were reddish, tears rolled down, "Son of Heaven... so difficult! The emperor wanted to show his ambition, but he had to be trapped in the Chongde Hall day and night! The old man is really weak, unable to honor the grace of the emperor above, and unable to obey the wishes of the people below, now... although there is no clear edict in hand, he has loyalty in his heart! The mountain people don't have to be embarrassed, they just want to send the old man to pass Wuguan and enter Guanzhong. The old man is willing to **** this body and ignite the fire of the great man's revival! 』

  Jiang Gan also said that he didn't want Pang Shanmin to send troops to attack Xu County, but just wanted to borrow some experts from Wancheng to **** Huang Wan safely into Guanzhong...

  From a certain point of view, no matter whether there is an edict or no edict, whether there is a specific document or just an oral communication, they are not aimed at Pang Shanmin, but at Hushi General Fei Qian. Then Pang Shanmin would at best pass the blow and send him to Chang'an.

  Things seem simple.

   But obviously, that's not the case...

   Immediately, someone reported that Cao Jun appeared in the direction of Xiangyang and gradually approached Wancheng. Cao Jun's scout forward threatened to demand that Wancheng hand over Huang Wan and Jiang Gan!

  Pang Shanmin was just taken aback. Why did Cao Jun of Jingzhou make such a sudden move at this time?

   Is it really going to war?
