The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Lu Xun looked at the majestic city wall of Yecheng, and the few soldiers on it were running in a panic.The huge Wei character battle flag was hung on a corner of the city tower, and it seemed to be crumbling under the wind.The gate of the city has been closed, the suspension bridge has been raised, and what is going on inside is unknown, and there is no one outside.

"I have found out that there are only 2000 guards in this city! There are no other soldiers!" Huang Xu smiled and said, "It only takes one strong attack to win!"

Lu Xun shook his head: "The walls of Yecheng are tall, and we don't have the equipment to climb the city. Although they are small in number, they can't attack by force!"

Du Yu said: "That's right, although there are few soldiers in Yecheng, Sima Yi's army is behind us, and there is a possibility of returning to help at any time. Not only can we not attack the city, but we must take Yecheng as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in trouble. .”

"Then what should we do? We can't wait for them to surrender, can we?" Huang Xu scratched his head, he had no choice but to say, "Let's just watch the flesh disappear when it reaches the edge of his mouth."

"Send someone to deliver a letter, I want to talk to Cao Cao!" After Lu Xun finished speaking, he turned around and entered the account to write a letter to Cao Cao.

Lu Xun's letter was shot in by Huang Xu with a bow and arrow.The soldiers were rushed into the palace.Cao Cao's body has not yet been encoffined, lying quietly on the main hall of the palace.The funeral ceremony has already begun. White cloths have been hung in the palace, and Cao Pi has also put on mourning clothes.A group of concubines and children knelt in the mourning hall and wept.The soldiers who delivered the letter did not dare to come in, and handed it over to Dong Zhao.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Dong Zhao didn't know what to do.Cao Cao was already dead when he was sent in, and if he suppressed it, if it was a letter of war from the Dragon Army, it would be a missed opportunity.Cheng Yu said lightly: "Let's leave it to the prince!"

Cao Pi opened the letter, Lu Xun wrote very politely, praised Cao Cao's achievements, and finally said: "The world's major events have been decided, and the king of Wei went against the sky. On the face of thousands of soldiers and common people, I hope that King Wei will give up unnecessary resistance."

Cao Pi was furious, and tore the letter to pieces: "This Lu Xun is too deceitful!"

Liu Ye said: "The dragon army is approaching the city, and they may attack at any time. Our country of Wei cannot be without a master for a day. The crown prince should ascend the throne as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts. As for your majesty's funeral, we can only wait until the dragon army is defeated!"

When Cao Cao was mentioned, Cao Pi felt a little sad again.Gently wiped away tears, looked up at Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao, both of them nodded.Cao Pi sighed: "The matter is urgent, and this is the only way to go. You all accompany me to the city wall to see what Lu Xun has to say! Surrender is absolutely unacceptable!"

With the arrival of Cao Pi, the flag on the top of the city was also changed.Instead of bunting is white chess.This white chess is not a white chess that surrendered, but because of Cao Cao's death, the whole country of Wei must pay homage.The soldiers' heads and weapons were also wrapped with white cloth strips.The bright red lanterns on the city tower are covered with white cloth.It seemed that in the blink of an eye, Yecheng turned white.

Huang Xu was a little strange, and asked, "What's the matter with Yecheng, you don't need to hang white cloth all over the city if you want to surrender?"

Du Yu frowned: "From this point of view, something must have happened to Wei, maybe it was Cao Cao! Only when the emperor or empress of the royal family died, would the white cloth be hung on the city wall. Cao Cao has the prestige. I was bedridden for several months, but I didn’t expect to die today! God help me too!”

Lu Xun thought for a while: "Speaking of which, Cao Cao is related to our empire, and the third lady is Cao Cao's daughter. Will we..."

"Your son-in-law, don't hesitate!" Du Yu immediately said, "Don't miss this opportunity and never come again. Now that Wei's country is troubled by foreign troubles, and Cao Cao's new funeral, it is natural that Cao Pi ascends the throne. Cao Pi's foundation in Wei is not stable. It is a great opportunity for us to attack. If you miss it, you will never have such a good opportunity! At this time, we may have enough [-] people to attack the city. If Sima Yi’s army withdraws and Cao Pi stands firm, he will die if he wants to fight! Son-in-law Never hesitate!"

Huang Xu also said: "That's right, Your Majesty often says that you will die while you are sick, this is such a great opportunity, don't let it go, I will go prepare troops and attack the city right now!"

Cao Pi took a deep breath, looked at the Long army under the city, there were only about ten thousand people, and looked around again, calm and relaxed a little.When Cheng Yu and the others saw that the Wei army had made any movement, they guessed that the city was about to attack, and hurriedly said: "Prince, quickly order and call all the people in the city to go to the city together. It seems that the dragon army is about to attack!"

"I really don't understand the rules. If you do something while we are attending His Majesty's funeral, you will be a beast!" Liu Ye said contemptuously.

Cao Pi nodded, and immediately ordered Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Cao Hong and others to defend the four gates, and must not let any dragon army enter the city.The news spread that Yecheng was in chaos, and the government arrested people everywhere, forcing the terrified people to go to the city.In order to show their loyalty and their own interests, some high-ranking officials sent their servants to join them.In just one hour, the number of people on the walls of Ye City increased several times.

"Is Cao Pi in the city?" Lu Xun asked loudly.

Liu Ye said angrily: "As a general, you are so despicable. You came here to sneak attack on the occasion of our Wei State's funeral. The behavior of a villain makes people despise!" After finishing speaking, he did not forget to spit.

Lu Xun was really embarrassed by what Liu Ye said.Huang Xu said loudly: "What's the matter with the villain? We are really villains, and we are better than you hypocrites! If you are sensible, go down to the city and surrender, or else, when the young master enters Yecheng, no one will be killed." Keep!"

Cao Xiu was young and energetic, and was furious: "Whoever puts such wild words, if you have the ability, let's attack the city!"

Lu Xun persuaded Huang Xu, who was about to attack the city, and said to the city: "Wei State is in danger, and Sima Yi has no food. It won't be long before our Majesty will lead an army across the river. The people of Hebei states are watching the wind and surrendering. Why bother?" We are struggling to support, we are all Han Chinese, instead of fighting to the death, it is better to strike along the river, I can guarantee that you will be prosperous and rich, and you will have no worries in your life."

Cao Pi smiled slightly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be Lu Xun! Speaking of which, you should call me uncle, hehehe!" At this time, Cao Pi could still laugh, which surprised everyone.The submissive Cao Pi from before disappeared in an instant, replaced by a man who showed no signs of emotion or anger, who seemed to be on par with Cao Cao.

Lu Xun also chuckled: "His Royal Highness is so lenient! How can you still laugh at your father's new funeral? His Royal Highness is right, you and I are indeed somewhat related, how about it! I'll give you a day to think about it, if tomorrow morning If there is no answer, immediately attack the city!"

"Bo Yan!" Huang Xu was taken aback.Lu Xun gave him a wink, and the two led their troops back.

Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the dragon army did not attack the city. We had one night to prepare, and immediately sent people out of the city to ask Sima Yi for help, and then recruited the people to go to the city. No matter what, we had to wait until Sima Yi's army arrived."

The night wind is very cool. The weather in the north is not too hot, especially at night.The soldiers in Yecheng had been busy for a whole day, and no one had just shared a sesame seed cake at night, and they were hungry before falling asleep.In desperation, I had to find a water tank, drink it for a while to relieve my hunger, and come back to sleep again.Without a quilt, three or five people huddled together to rely on each other's body temperature to keep warm, still shivering from the cold.

Li Ergou was only arrested at noon today. Because he was young, he was given a halberd. The leader said that from that moment on, Li Ergou was the imperial guard of Wei State.Speaking of the Imperial Guard, not everyone can enter if they want to.The imperial guards are troops that protect the emperor and the palace. The soldiers inside can see the emperor every day. If the emperor is happy, he may become a general.The imperial guards are the gathering places for the nephews of dignitaries, wealthy merchants and great merchants.Li Ergou didn't expect that he would have this chance.

Holding the halberd in his arms, he shrunk his head and jumped around the fire. It was really too cold. Li Ergou tried to get as close to the fire as possible, letting the heat of the flames burn all over his body.Suddenly a black figure showed its head outside the female wall, and disappeared after shrinking.Li Ergou's eyes were very good, he looked at it really, and asked who it was.No one agreed.Li Ergou was a little confused, and muttered in his mouth: "It's late at night, don't sleep, what are you doing climbing outside the city wall?"

Li Ergou stretched his neck and looked out, hoping to see who it was.It was pitch black below, and nothing could be seen.Just when he turned around, a tall black figure was behind him.Li Ergou was stunned for a moment, before he raised his head, a big hand covered his mouth, and a broken knife pierced his chest.The pain passed quickly, and when he felt cold, he was let go by the man.Before Li Ergou died, he saw clearly that a large group of men in black appeared on the city wall, and they were dealing with the sleeping brothers one by one.He wanted to shout, but with all his strength, he couldn't.

Xiahouba is 25 years old this year and is Xiahouyuan's second son.Although he is very old, he has never been to the battlefield. Since Xia Houyuan died, he has been idle at home.Today Wei Guo has no one, so he has no choice but to pull Xia Houba out to top him.Cao Chun, as Xiahouba's uncle, warned Xiahouba to be more careful and never be careless. The dragon army is best at sneak attacks and night attacks.

Xia Houba stayed up all night, conscientiously staying inside the tower and listening to the movement outside.Just after the third watch, it was surprisingly quiet outside the door, only the crackling sound of the bonfire burning.The snoring soldiers just now also quieted down.It was very late at night, and the activities of the soldiers became less and less, even the patrolling soldiers passed by his window lazily.

Xia Houba didn't blame them, it really scared everyone during the day.There are less than [-] defenders in the city. If the dragon army really attacks the city, it will be a hard battle.Xia Houba sat upright at the door, looking out the door.Tomorrow is the time for the big battle agreed between the crown prince and Lu Xun. I don't know if the crown prince wants to fight or make peace.From Xia Houba's point of view, the fight will definitely not be able to fight, and if it is a draw, Sima Yi will definitely not agree.Prince is difficult to do.

"Gazhizhi..." A loud noise came from below the city, shaking the entire city wall.Xiahouba couldn't sit still any longer, and hurried out to check.This place is allotted to him, absolutely nothing can go wrong.
