The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Before Jiang Ji and Liu Ye crossed the Yellow River, they heard the news that Long Fei was going to attack Hulao Pass.When the two heard this, they were shocked!Immediately decided to split up.Liu Ye hurried to Xiangyang to meet Cao Jie.Jiang Ji rushed to Hulao Pass immediately, hoping to talk to Long Fei before the war.

Stepping into Hulao Pass, Jiang Ji was a little puzzled by the scene inside.It was obvious that Long Fei's army was right in front of him, but the situation in the pass didn't seem a little tense.The soldiers wandered the streets feebly, fighting or dragging the weapons in their hands.His eyes were full of exhaustion and despair.Jiang Ji stopped his horse and called a soldier, "Where is General Yu?" The soldier looked up at Jiang Ji, shook his head, turned and left.

Looking at the backs of those soldiers, Jiang Ji grieved and said to the people beside him: "How can these soldiers fight? They are also known as elites, even inferior to those county soldiers who retreated across the Yellow River!"

Yu Jin, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Sima Yi are in the yamen.All four of them looked distressed, and Sima Yi was talking about how he stopped the Long Army's plan.According to Sima Yi's vision, Hulao Pass is the place that Long Fei must seize.Hulao Pass is superior in terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack.As long as all the troops are pulled to the Hulao Gate, no matter how the dragon army attacks, as long as the wall is not broken, the dragon army will never be able to enter.

Li Dian thought that his soldiers were exhausted and had no fighting spirit.Even if they could barely stop the Dragon Army, it would not last long. Before Pan Zhang's navy blocked the Yellow River, immediately retreat to Hebei and rely on the deployment of the Yellow River defense line. This is the strategy to resist the Dragon Army.Le Jin naturally stood on Li Dian's side, and the three of them couldn't argue over whether to defend or not.On the other hand, Yu Jin remained silent.

"Don't argue, don't argue! Your Majesty already has a clever plan!" Jiang Ji strode into the subordinate office, cupped his hands at Yu Jingong, squinted at Sima Yi next to him, and ignored him.

Le Jin hurriedly asked: "What's your majesty's plan?"

Jiang Ji kept silent, looked at Sima Yi again, and said to Jin: "General, Your Majesty ordered me to come and talk to Long Fei. The general can send someone to send me out of the city tomorrow. As long as Long Fei's request is met, Long Fei will surely be able to do so." withdraw troops."

"Hahaha..." Sima Yi laughed loudly: "It's a joke, Long Fei has great ambitions, and I'm afraid the whole world can't satisfy his appetite. Dare I ask Mr. Jiang, what will His Majesty plan to exchange with Long Fei?"

"Hmph!" Jiang Ji snorted coldly, and glared at Sima Yi: "You don't need to worry about this, Your Majesty has what Long Fei needs."

Jiang Ji asked Yu Jin to drive out all irrelevant people, leaving only Jiang Ji and Yu Jin in the room.Jiang Ji looked around, lowered his voice and asked Yu Jin, "General, how long do you think this Hulao Pass can last?"

Yu Jin was taken aback for a moment, looked up at Jiang Ji's face, felt that he was not deceiving himself, took a deep breath, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Soldiers have no fighting spirit, don't talk about Hulao, I'm afraid..."

Jiang Ji nodded: "Your Majesty also guessed the same way. Before leaving, His Majesty specifically asked me to tell the general that the general's task is to do everything possible to stop the dragon army for two months. In just two months, we can send soldiers from all over Henan The horse retreats to Hebei, His Majesty is ready to fight Long Fei in Hebei!"

"Hebei? I'm afraid the land of Hebei can't stop Long Fei!" Yu Jin obviously didn't understand Cao Cao's intentions: "If Hebei is broken again, where should we go?"

Jiang Ji smiled slightly: "Please rest assured, General, Your Majesty has his own arrangements, and the general only needs to follow His Majesty's wishes."

"Okay!" Yu Jin nodded: "This minister takes orders!"

On the second day, Yu Jin sent several soldiers to put Jiang Ji and two followers down from the west wall in baskets.Without horses, the three of them could only go on foot.Fortunately, the camp of Long Fei's army was not very far from Hulao Pass.Seeing that he was about to arrive at Long Fei's camp, Jiang Ji quickly asked the general next to him to raise the envoy's flag.The beautiful flag is fluttering in the wind, and it hasn't fluttered twice.A dozen or so soldiers rushed out from the side of the road, and surrounded the three of them with a huff.

"Don't do anything, we are the envoys of Wei State, and we are ordered to come to your Majesty!" Jiang Ji quickly explained.

A tall and burly soldier glanced at Jiang Ji, and said with a sneer: "Our boss said, Your Majesty said that the whole world belongs to our Tianlong Empire, where did Wei come from, and who is it? It can't be Cao Cao's spy!"

Hearing this, the other one shouted loudly: "Spy, that's good. The few of us caught three spies. According to the regulations, it cost tens of dollars. Today's drink money is already there!"The two servants beside Jiang Ji shivered and shivered behind Jiang Ji.

Jiang Ji hurriedly said: "No, no, no, we are really not spies, but Cao. It was Cao Cao who sent me to meet your majesty. This is Cao Cao's token. Please have a look!" Jiang Ji hurriedly took out the token from his pocket. Card, handed it forward: "This is a good thing! Cao Cao has promised to hand over the murderer who wanted to murder your Majesty, and I came here for this."

The dozen or so dragon troops stopped laughing, and the leader looked at Jiang Ji: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true! Cao Cao has promised to hand over Sima Yi, the murderer who murdered your Majesty, to you. Now Sima Yi is at Hulao Pass, and Cao Cao sent people to arrest him. We just wait for you to go and lead him!"

Jiang Ji's words finally moved the dozen or so soldiers.They saw that Jiang Ji was a scribe, and he had an attendant beside him, so he was not bound.When Jiang Ji was brought in front of Long Fei, he was disheveled.Everyone was acquaintances, and after talking politely for a while, they went straight to the topic.

Jiang Ji spoke very well and conveyed Cao Cao's meaning.Before Long Fei could speak, Li Ru chuckled and said, "We already know the purpose of your envoy's visit, but how can we trust you before we meet the real culprit?"

Jiang Ji said: "Please rest assured on this point, as long as Your Majesty agrees to withdraw the troops, we will immediately bind Sima Yi in front of His Majesty, and at the same time withdraw all the soldiers and horses from the Henan provinces to ensure that His Majesty can successfully occupy it. This is also a gift from our Majesty to His Majesty! The four prefectures in Henan are the land of the Central Plains, and they are all good places, not bad at all compared to Jingzhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou occupied by Your Majesty, and even better than other countries."

"Your envoy's words are a bit deceptive!" Xu Shu immediately said seriously: "Yuzhou is our place, my general Li Yan has already occupied Runan, and Yingchuan and other places in Yanzhou have also been taken by us. And Xuzhou has been controlled by Zang Ba all the year round, Cao Cao wants to want it, but Zang Ba will not, so only Qingzhou is relatively complete, but it is a barren land near the East China Sea, what is the use of it?"

Jiang Jidao: "Sir, it's ridiculous! Although Yuzhou and Yanzhou are occupied by you, they are not completely occupied. We have soldiers and horses in many important routes, and Qingzhou is under our complete control. Xuzhou is close to Yangzhou, and Sun Quan has been eyeing it for a long time. , if they are occupied by the generals, I believe they will retreat in spite of the difficulties. Your Majesty has these places, but he has full control over Sun Quan, so that Sun Quan can no longer escape from His Majesty's hands. Such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, where can the general go? Only My Majesty is the only one who can do such good things with the general."

"Good thing?" Guo Jia smiled: "I'm afraid Cao Cao has been unable to recover, and the four provinces in Henan have been out of control, so he came up with this plan. Our army will cross the Yellow River just around the corner, and Cao Cao will be defeated if he captures Yecheng. Why bother raising tigers?" trouble."

Jiang Ji said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the son-in-law of my Majesty, so you are not afraid of being ridiculed by the world if you press so hard?"

Long Fei looked at Jiang Ji: "Sir, you really have a good tongue, if that's the case, I will trust you once!"

"Your Majesty!" Li Ru and Xu Shu were about to persuade.Long Fei waved his hand to signal the two of them not to talk, and he continued: "As long as the master can bring Sima Yi to me, I promise not to invade again!"

"It's a deal!" Jiang Ji quickly took over the conversation.Just as Long Fei nodded, Jiang Ji cupped his hands and turned to leave.

Looking at Jiang Ji's back, Xu Shu hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, is this too hasty? If Cao Cao really sends Sima Yi to us, will he really want to retreat?"

Long Fei took a look at Guo Jia and laughed, "If Cao Cao can really send Sima Yi here, why not retreat?"

Sima Yi was driven out of the yamen by Yu Jin, and Li Dian and Yu Jin left.Sima Yi turned his head and glanced at the gate of the yamen, and the two sons beside him followed him and looked behind him.The Sima family never lacked sons. Sima Yi had eight brothers in his generation, known as Sima Bada.Sima Yi also has two sons. The eldest son, Sima Shi, is tall and burly, with a black mole on his left cheek that is particularly conspicuous.

Master Sima behaved like his sixth uncle, Sima Tong, who was aggressive, decisive, and liked to use force to solve problems.The second child, Sima Zhao, is the complete opposite of his elder brother, and is very similar to Sima Yi, both of whom are vicious characters.Mood and expressionless, resourceful.These two sons can be regarded as Sima Yi's right-hand men.Since Sima Yi's five younger brothers died one after another in Xiangyang, Sima Yi kept his two sons by his side as his helpers.

"Father, I think the situation is not good!" Sima Zhao said, "If Long Fei drives Cao Cao into a corner, he will definitely send us out, so that Long Fei will let him go!"

Sima Yi smiled slightly: "My father had expected this trick a long time ago, and Jiang Ji's arrival just shows it. If my father's guess is correct, Cao Cao has decided to send us to Long Fei to buy himself time to retreat from Henan. .”

"Old man! I will immediately lead people into Yecheng and tear Cao Cao into pieces!" Sima Zhao immediately shouted, "This Hebei is ours in the first place. If we don't want it, Cao Cao won't be able to get his hands on it at all!"

"Brother, keep your voice down! This place is still in the Yamen!" Sima Zhao said hastily.

"What are you afraid of? With our strength here, Xiao Xiaojin is not even considered!"

Sima Yi nodded: "My son is right! The matter is urgent, you should go and gather people immediately to control the Hulao Gate as soon as possible. As for Yu Jin, Li Dian, and Le Jin, don't be disturbed. It will be of great use for the father to keep them."
