The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 994 Apprehending the Black Hand ([-])

Just when Liu Chan was about to express his thoughts, Zhao Yun immediately stepped forward and whispered to his ear that he asked Gai Meng to dispatch a cavalry team of 2000 men to secretly follow behind.

Liu Chan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and couldn't help but praise: "Fourth Uncle is always so considerate! In this way, we will have very, very sufficient strength. Fourth Uncle, send someone to notify the cavalry team and accept My order is to go to the north of Dali County first and block all exit roads!"

Zhao Yun immediately explained the situation to Zhao Feng, and asked him to quickly send troops to carry out Liu Chan's order.

Then, Zhao Yuncai asked: "Your Majesty, I have a question at the end. I don't know why the cavalry should go to the north to block the road first, instead of rushing over to Dali City immediately to join us?"

Liu Chan smiled and said: "My thoughts are actually not very complicated. I just take it for granted that the person who wants my life most in the world is definitely not from the Shu Han, but from Cao Wei's side. In addition, Dali County is already close to the border of Bingzhou. This is the easiest place for assassins to escape back to Bingzhou."

Zhao Yun was overwhelmed by Liu Chan's ability to deal with it again, and said with a smile: "The last general also understands. The areas to the south, west, and east of Dali County are our hinterland. Even if the assassin escapes there, Yong The Liang area is sparsely populated, so it is relatively easy to find it. But if the planner fled into Bingzhou all of a sudden, even if he is from the Shu Han, it would be a long way off if he were to be arrested."

Liu Chan smiled and said, "Correct answer! Fourth Uncle really understands my thoughts!"

Zhao Feng quickly executed Liu Chan's several orders, and the two groups of people who had been notified set off first.

Then, under Zhao Feng's suggestion, the number of Baier guards assigned to protect Gao Shili was finally reduced to 200.They also quickly protected Gao Shili, who was seriously injured and unconscious, and left the city.

And at this time, the guard of Dali City seemed to have just received the news, and hurried to the accident site with dozens of county soldiers.

Looking at the tragic scene left after the bloody battle, the guard's face became paler than that of a dead man again.He immediately went straight to Liu Chan, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to plead guilty.

Looking at the guy in front of him, Liu Chan frowned immediately.

This guy is really incompetent enough that he rushed over after it happened for so long.Although Liu Chan had no reason to suspect that this person had been bribed by the assassin, he couldn't forgive him for acting too slowly.

Such a person with no mobility, placed in the army, will not play any helpful role for the army once he goes to the battlefield. It is more likely that this person will become a burden and a burden to the army.

What's even more hateful is that the riots here have been happening for so long, and the troops defending the city have not been dispatched until now!

Liu Chan is capable in other respects, but he absolutely does not allow mistakes in terms of mobility, so it is impossible for him to forgive the guard this time.And Wei Yan's employment is unknown, so he must bear part of the responsibility for it!
Therefore, Liu Chan immediately removed the guard from his position and temporarily detained him for review.

Then, Liu Chan asked Zhao Feng to take over all the defenders in Dali City first.

After finishing this matter, Liu Chan led Zhao Feng and others to turn around and return to the government office in Dali City.

Then, Zhao Yun took over the affairs of the city.

Zhao Feng, on the other hand, immediately set about arranging manpower to strictly protect the inside and outside of the government office.

When night fell that day, Zhao Yun had already taken charge of the situation of the troops in the city.Immediately, 500 troops were mobilized to protect the periphery of the Dali government office in layers. Except for the members of the Baier guards, it was absolutely forbidden for anyone to enter or leave the government office.

Then, Zhao Yun came to see Liu Chan.

Because he was worried that there might be another crisis, Zhao Yun was still wearing armor at this time, and he didn't dare to have anyone carry it.But in this way, the injury on his body became very painful. The armor pressed on the wound, which happened every moment. Even if the injury was not very serious, the continuous pain was not something anyone could bear. living.

But Zhao Yun is worthy of being a masculine man, and his face did not show any strange color because of the pain, so that Liu Chan ignored his fourth uncle and fought two life-and-death battles with two groups of assassins today. So hurt.

Zhao Yun immediately reported to Liu Chan some of his views on the assassins after the battle with those assassins.

After listening to Liu Chan, he thought for a while and said, "The possibility that those assassins' master planners are my Shu Han people is actually very small, even far less than those Jiangdong people who want to avenge Sun Quan."

Zhao Feng was startled when he heard that.

Over the years, the situation in Jiangdong was so stable that Zhao Yun instinctively ignored the fact that Jiangdong was once Sun Quan's territory.

But now Yangzhou is under the governance of Governor Wen Hui, and people's livelihood has become very stable.In addition, Liu Chan is also encouraging the original rich and powerful families in Jiangdong to start foreign trade, but they have gradually lost their resistance to the Shu Han.

Therefore, the possibility of Jiangdong's rich and powerful families wanting to spend huge sums of money to hire assassins to assassinate Liu Chan is actually very low.

Therefore, the assassination of Liu Chan this time, no matter from which aspect you think about it, the greatest possibility should really be the people from Cao Wei's side.

Zhao Yun thought for a while, and then told Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, during the battle just now, the general found out that there were Qiang and Hu people among them. Tell me, are there people from Liangzhou who support Cao Wei?" Are the Qiang and Hu people playing tricks?"

This is a new situation that Liu Chan doesn't know about, so let Zhao Yun explain the matter in detail.

Zhao Yun immediately told Liu Chan everything about the Qianghu female archer.

After listening to Zhao Yun's narration, Liu Chan couldn't help being amazed.

But on second thought, it has been hundreds of years since the Qiang and Hu people came from the grasslands to settle in the territory of the Han Dynasty.Nowadays, not only a large number of Qiang and Hu people are settled in Yongliang, but also in Bingzhou and Youzhou. Not only are Qiang and Hu people settled in the border areas, but even some Xianbei people have begun to move inward.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there are Qianghu people among the assassins, just like seeing foreigners with blue eyes, white skin and white hair when walking on the street today.

Therefore, Liu Chan said: "This situation may be just an accident, and it does not mean that the Qiang Hu people from Yongliang also joined in. Fourth uncle, let's wait now, Zhao Feng's people should have started to interrogate those who were killed by Bai. The assassin captured by the Ear Guards."

But the situation at that time was so urgent, and Zhao Yun's murderous intent was so strong that he and Zhao Feng killed all the assassins who fought against him.In the end, a few assassins fell into the hands of the white-eared guards.

However, news came from Zhao Feng one after another that the interrogation of the white-eared guards was not going well. When two assassins were captured, they saw the opportunity and committed suicide on the spot.

The remaining few were taken to the prison in Dali City, but three more committed suicide one after another.As a result, among the captured assassins who are still alive, there are only three seriously injured people left.

In fact, if they were not able to work due to serious injuries, Zhao Feng's people believed that they would continue to choose to commit suicide like other captured assassins.

It can also be seen from this that whether these assassins are a group of desperadoes or not, what a vicious and cruel group of people they are!
Therefore, although Liu Chan said this to Zhao Yun, it was entirely for the purpose of appeasing Zhao Yun.In fact, he didn't believe at all in his heart that Zhao Feng's people could get any useful information from the mouths of those seriously injured.

And since Liu Chan could know about these situations, why didn't Zhao Yun know about them?The white-eared guards were trained by him before, and Zhao Feng was his disciple. How can we hide the news from him?

Zhao Yun sighed, knowing that Liu Chan's words were mostly used to comfort him.

Zhao Yun is a very delicate person, never making people feel awkward, and will not violate other people's uniforms, and then said: "Now we can only pin our hopes on Zhao Feng for the time being, I hope they can really Get any useful information. If you can get information about the mastermind behind the scenes, that would be the best thing. However, please don’t have too much hope, Your Majesty.”

Liu Chan didn't expect that Zhao Yun would comfort him in the end.

He smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle, I know. In my opinion, the planner of the assassination operation is most likely to be tracked down by Wei Yan."

Then, Liu Chan remembered that Zhao Yun had suffered many injuries, and quickly asked how Zhao Yun's injuries were doing now.

Then, Liu Chan saw that Zhao Yun was still wearing armor, obviously unwilling to take off the armor in order to deal with any possible crisis.

Liu Chan couldn't help being very moved, and quickly persuaded Zhao Yun to take off the armor on his body, so as not to affect those wounds again.

But Zhao Yun is also very stubborn sometimes, just insisting on refusing to take off the armor on his body.

Liu Chan had no choice but to stop persuading.

But when Liu Chan sent Zhao Yun away, it was already midnight.

The news that Zhao Feng also sent was exactly as Liu Chan and Zhao Yun had guessed, those assassins refused to reveal any information.But it's impossible for the white-eared guards to torture a group of seriously injured patients. If they all died, all the clues would be cut off.
