The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 339 Tu, Infiltrated Assassination
Xuchang, the former capital of Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao was in power, the people of Xuchang were also having a hard time. If it weren't for the emperor and many aristocratic families before, it would be even more difficult for the people of Xuchang to survive than other places.

But the capital city of Xuchang, from a distance, is much taller and majestic than Yangcheng. However, there are countless refugees outside the city, and there are hungry people everywhere.

As for the roadside, there are many corpses.

These corpses should have just died, because those who died early were taken away by wolves, tigers and leopards.Along the way, torn corpses are everywhere.

Looking at the desolation outside Xuchang City, Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, and slowly got off the horse. The sand under her feet was a little soft to the touch, as it had been planed many times.

It is caused by those refugees rummaging for grass roots, worms, and earthworms to satisfy their hunger.

Go forward, it's past noon.

The porridge shop for disaster relief has been closed.

Surroundings, I don't know how many people are lying down, trying to survive there. A few poplar trees have white trunks, and the bark has been stripped and eaten long ago.

It should be full of spring, but these few trees, except for some leaves at the top, have long since disappeared.But there were some people lying down below, trying to hide from the sun.

Those mummy-like people saw Zhang Xiu's group and wanted to get closer, but seeing that Zhang Xiu and the others were carrying swords, they all swallowed their saliva and whimpered from afar.

Thirsty, hungry and various sounds mixed.

"My lord, it seems that the officials in Xuchang are as virtuous as Yangcheng. They rely on the fact that the lord can't control this place, so they are filling their own pockets." Hu Che'er said angrily.

"My lord, look over there..." Zhao Fan frowned suddenly and shouted.

Looking around, there were dozens of vehicles with sacks piled up on them, which seemed to be food.

"Go and have a look!" Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.

Not far away, I saw the eyes of those people began to glow green, dragging their shriveled bodies one by one, approaching the grain truck, shouting weakly: "Give me a stutter!"

They didn't dare to grab it, because the people who grabbed the food before were hacked to death and fed to the dogs. They could only beg, hoping that these people could give them some food.

"A bunch of assholes, get out of here."

"If you dare to take the lead in the front, you will be killed without mercy." The leader was a scribe, his eyes were full of disgust, after he finished speaking, nearly [-] people who accompanied him half-drawn their sharp knives.

Immediately, these people retreated instinctively.

Some, because they were so hungry, just fell to the ground.

"Go away," the scribe grabbed the sword of the guard next to him, went up to him and killed a few slow runners one at a time.

"Mother, mother, wake up, the baby doesn't want to eat." A woman was cut down in a pool of blood, and then a half-grown child rushed out, fell on the woman and cried bitterly.

The disgust in the eyes of the scribe was even worse, perhaps because the mother and son blocked the way ahead, and immediately held the sharp sword upside down.Puff, it directly pierced the boy's spine.

Gurgling!

Blood gushed from the corner of the boy's mouth.

One after another, the boy's painful body convulsed and trembled, and blood mixed with saliva flowed out: "Mother, baby... baby hurts, baby hurts so much, please wake up!"

"Noisy!" Scribe snorted coldly, and drew another sword.

This move made many people look at each other from a distance. Even though the cart was carrying food, they were instinctively afraid to approach it.

In the distance, Zhang Xiu saw it with his own eyes, his body was trembling, it was just a child.

The pace is getting faster and faster, and at the same time, he has drawn out the green sword at his waist, slanting straight to the ground, filled with invisible killing intent, and it's fine if he doesn't provide disaster relief, but he still kills like this.

Zhao Fan and the others followed closely behind, their figures passing half a beat faintly, just to protect Zhang Xiu in the first place.Their lives are worthless, but Zhang Xiu cannot be damaged.

"Drag this pair of sluts away!" After the literati finished speaking, his eyes vaguely saw Zhang Xiu rushing towards him from a distance. He was frightened by the momentum at first,

But then, seeing that there were not many people there, he immediately yelled: "Where is the Xiaoxiao madman, who dares to block the convoy of Li Taishou, is he looking for death!"

"The disaster in Yuzhou was serious. The prime minister of the court repeatedly ordered the officials from all over the country to do their best to help the disaster, but instead of doing relief, you ignored the people's life and death, and even killed them. You really deserve to die!"

Zhang Xiu's voice was very cold.

"Hehe, the Prime Minister of the Dynasty? What a joke, what is the Prime Minister of the Dynasty? Does he want to provide disaster relief? What's more, it would be best if all these bastards died."

The scribe snorted coldly, and after finishing speaking, he also saw that these people were not kind, so he immediately shouted: "Kill them, hurry up and transport them to the bunker, don't let the prefect wait too long,"

"Today is a good day for him to take a concubine."

"Crime is unforgivable!" Zhang Xiu was furious, and threw the green sword in his hand directly.

The scribe was terrified, and instinctively pulled a guard over to act as a human shield, but the sword pierced through the guard, then through him, and was directly nailed to the grain truck.

"Tu!" Zhang Xiu stood on the spot, his voice filled with grief and indignation, and the sound spread for nine days.

Seeing that the scribes were killed as soon as they met each other, the others were stunned for a moment, and then the centurion leading the team shouted loudly: "Kill, kill them and receive the reward."

The centurion was right, there were only 28 guards on the opposite side, even including Zhang Xiu and his two guards, there were only 31 guards, and there were nearly 200 guards on his side.

Can this group of people count as seven?

Do you really think they are the elite of a hundred battles?

It's just that, after just meeting each other, he was dumbfounded, and the smile on his face gradually froze, replaced by bewilderment, astonishment, and shock on his face.

Because...he seems to have underestimated these people.

The guard battalion was originally composed of hundreds of the most elite members of the 30 army in Jingzhou, and these 20 people were the best among the hundreds of people, with force and loyalty, they were among the best.

One in a million is not an exaggeration.

All force values ​​are comparable to third-rate generals.

In an instant, the stumps and arms flew across the sky!

There were countless screams and panic sounds.

These soldiers, who have never seen this kind of soldiers, can't even touch a piece of armor, they are already dead, they are so frightened that they are out of their wits and staggered back.

"Devils, they're a bunch of devils."

Finally, when there were still dozens of people dead, someone yelled in panic, and turned around and ran away, not even daring to look back.

"Where are you transporting the grain to?" Zhao Fan grabbed one person and snorted coldly in front of Zhang Xiu.

"Ship, transport it to the bunker thirty miles north of the city. It was built by prefect Li, and there are countless grains piled up in it, Meiji, for people to enjoy!"

"And today is the day of Li Taishou's big wedding, and the wine in the car behind is used for the banquet." The soldier said tremblingly.

"What's this man's name?"

"Zhang Tu, Li Taishou's military advisor."

"Get out!" Zhang Xiu snorted coldly.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone!
There are tens of thousands of refugees outside the city of Xuchang. The lord of this county does not think about helping the victims, but even tries to enjoy himself, and the key is to embezzle food.

"My lord, the situation in this fort is unknown, why don't we wait three days and mobilize the army to pull it out." Zhao Fan frowned, wishing he could go in now.

But he was worried about Zhang Xiu's safety.

After all, it is unwise to take risks alone.

"I'm not happy if such an evil person is not eliminated right now. But since there are defenders in the castle, we should find a way to reduce the number of defenders."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu stepped forward to touch the clothes of the scribes, found a jade tablet in a moment, and said at the same time: "Go, take off two sets of clothes and go to the bunker."

……

For a moment, outside the bunker.

Zhang Xiu looked at it for a moment and couldn't help frowning.

This bunker is not small, and there are many high-altitude observation towers, there are three in total, you can spot the enemy's situation at the first time, and it is condescending to shoot bows and arrows.

The key point is that this bunker has only one gate, and the rest are three-foot-high walls built of blue bricks. Obviously, this is a small city.

He looked up and looked at the sky, it was almost dusk.

"Zhao Fan, change into your clothes. You hold this jade pendant and pretend to be a member of the food transport team. You say that the food team has been robbed, and then pretend to be injured and stay inside."

"After nightfall, wait for the opportunity to open the city gate." Zhang Xiu arranged a sentence, and it should come in time.

"En!" Zhao Fan nodded!
"Be careful," Zhang Xiu warned.

Watching Zhao Fan limping past, approaching, Zhao Fan took out the jade token, and at the same time told the story, which also made the guards doubtful.

It stands to reason that the food delivery team should be arriving soon.

"Well, you follow me to see the prefect." The guard guarding the gate said something.

……

After a while, the reception area in the back hall.

Li Si was celebrating with many scribes.Most of them are small nobles from Yingchuan, and the older ones followed Cao Cao and ran away first.

It is not qualified to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, so they can only hang out in Yingchuan, and simply have a job as an official, and they can live comfortably, and they know that,

Zhang Xiu didn't dare to do anything for a short time, after all, he still needed Yanzhou and Yuzhou to be stable, so they became more arrogant and thought about running away.

When everyone was pushing cups and changing glasses, the guard notified them to enter.

The guard explained that Zhao Fan's eyes were cold and murderous, and his body was trembling, but his weapon was not there, otherwise he would have killed this person directly.

"My lord, when we were transporting food along the way with our army division, a group of thieves were killed for no reason. It is estimated that there are hundreds or nearly a thousand of them. We were defeated, and the little one risked his life and rushed out to report."

"It is estimated that the food and wine were taken away by these thieves. Ahem," Zhao Fan said, clutching his chest.

"What did you say? The food, grass and wine were robbed?" Liston was a little annoyed at the moment, and slammed it on the table, and shouted with gloomy eyes: "Didn't those guys on Xuanshan take advantage of it?"

"Hmph, it's really greedy."

Li Si directly determined the identities of this group of people. It is likely that the group of military bandits on Xuanshan came down to beat their teeth to sacrifice. Most of this group of people are the defeated soldiers of Yuan Shao's army, and they occupy the mountain as king here.

Li Si was also apprehensive, he had always kept the water from the well, but now that his food was indeed robbed, did he really dare not speak up?

"Wang Qian, immediately take the brothers and chase them on the road to Xuanshan. They can't run fast with the grain carts. Bring more people and ask for an explanation."

Li Si said angrily.

"Promise!" Wang Qian responded immediately, and went down to rectify the troops.Most of the soldiers and horses here are Li Si's private soldiers, with swords, guns and swords.

"Okay, go down and rest first!" Li Si waved his hand.

When Zhao Fan retreated, Li Si said irritably: "This Deng Li, I really think I dare not touch him. Come, drink and drink."

Following the compliments from everyone, Zhao Fan withdrew.

Looking at the sky, it was almost dusk, Zhao Fan frowned, and followed the guard for a while. The guards along the way were very tight. Even if a group of people were transferred, there would still be hundreds of them.

Zhao Fan hesitated and made up his mind.

No matter what, he couldn't let Zhang Xiu come in and take risks. He was a cheap man, and he died as soon as he died, but Zhang Xiu couldn't live without Zhang Xiu.

After a little thought, he wanted to kill Li Si, and he estimated that the best place would be the bride's wing,
Thinking of this, he asked: "Brother, I see that the castle is so lively, but what is the happy event?"

"You don't know? Today is a happy occasion for adults to take concubines. It is said that the woman is very handsome. No, brothers are waiting for a few sips of fine wine at night!"

The guard walked in front and spoke at the same time.

He even smacked it twice in his mouth, as if it was a pity, and he was a little mixed because of the good wine.

"I often stay in Xuchang, but I haven't been here much. By the way, have you seen the bride? Just say she looks handsome?" Zhao Fan raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively.

"How could it be possible to see it? The brides are all in the backyard of the mansion. How can we pawns see it. But it's pretty good to be able to drink a bowl of fine wine."

"But it's all right now, the fine wine you brought was robbed, you damn Xuanshan thief." The guard slandered while speaking.

Zhao Fan frowned thinking about the information he had obtained.

The place he went to just now should be Li Si's mansion, that is to say, the bride is in that mansion?As long as he sneaked in by himself, it shouldn't be difficult to stab Li Sizai to death and escape.

"Hey, the front is our resting place, you will... um, woo..." The guard didn't finish his sentence, and Zhao Fan grabbed his neck from behind and wrung his neck.

Dragging into a corner, Zhao Fan took the wooden sign on his body, which should be the passport inside.

Immediately, he followed the route just now and touched it back.

……

into the night,

Li Mansion, in the backyard.

Zhao Fan bent his back and jumped down.

The festive red couplets are pasted in this room, and I think this is the bride's room.

The door opened, and the woman on the bed trembled.

Because she was wearing a red hijab, she didn't know who came in, but in Li's residence, it should be Li Si without a doubt.But it was just getting dark, a bit early.

boom!
With a hand knife, the woman fell asleep.

Zhao Fan put the woman down, while he was at the corner of the bed, waiting quietly like a top hunter.But his waiting made Zhang Xiu outside the city extremely anxious.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Li Si's moaning and chirping voice came from outside the door. The guard who sent him back sent him into the room, and even took a special look into the room.
They want to see beautiful women.

It would be great if they could sleep too.

The door of the room was slowly closed, and the two stood guard on both sides. They only hoped that Li Si would be drunk and call them in at night to see if they could feast their eyes.

"Little lady, little lady,"

Li Si wobbled, his feet were unsteady, but he still rubbed his palms.

"Hehe, my lady has been waiting for a long time, and she has already fallen asleep first. Come on, let your husband touch her little hand when you get up." Li Si grinned and showed a two-hundred-pound smile.

But when he was about to pounce on it, a figure flashed out. At the same time, he only felt his mouth and nose being covered, and then his throat felt cold, and his pupils widened.

I want to struggle, but my strength is getting weaker and weaker.

Zhao Fan heaved a sigh of relief, cut off Li Si's head, and took off Li Si's jade plaque by the way.

As long as the news of Li Si's killing comes out, I think my lord's goal of intimidating the officials everywhere will be achieved, and then the hidden guards will increase their investigations, which should alleviate the disaster.

Immediately, put Li Si's head into the wooden box.

After slipping out of the room, Zhao Fan took the token and rode his horse all the way out of the city in a hurry, no one dared to stop him.
