Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 932 Internal differentiation
When the head of the Wei family heard the sound, he frowned at first, and then he seemed to think of something. Then his expression changed and he said to the slave next to him: "Go out and see what happened!"

As a branch of the Wei family, he had heard about what happened to the main branch of the Wei family in Hedong. He also knew that Wei Jian had been assassinated in Huaicheng, so he felt bad at this moment.

But at the same time, he still only had some luck in his heart. The walls of Taiyuan City were so high, and the city gates had been closed during the war, making it difficult for outsiders to enter and exit. It couldn't be an enemy attack, right?

But what happened immediately shattered his dream completely. He heard a sudden sound, and a round object as big as a fist was thrown in from the window. It was spinning on the ground. The live wire above had been lit and was buzzing. A squeaking sound.

No one present had ever seen this thing. A very few of them had been on the battlefield. Those with a keen sense of smell and quick reactions subconsciously hid back. Most of the people were still watching blankly. The next moment, with the loud explosion, The things on the ground exploded with a bang, and the iron nails and beads inside flew everywhere.

The first few people were immediately blasted with blood holes all over their bodies, and their bodies trembled and fell down. The remaining people also felt uncomfortable. Most of them were affected and screamed in pain while covering their wounds.

At this time, the head of the Wei family branch had already blocked his body with a table. Thinking of the thud of nails hitting the table in front of him, he couldn't help but feel frightened. He opened his mouth and shouted: "There is an assassin!"

"Come on!"

The crowd suddenly became confused and ran towards the door in disorder. What greeted them were two more balls thrown in.

The ball exploded in the crowd again, blood splashed everywhere, and the human body was twitching like chaff on the ground. The head of the branch of the Wei family looked at it and screamed in pain. All the nobles in the city were blown up, not only Bingzhou The head of the Shang clan and the head of the Southern Xiongnu clan, if something like this happens in his house, he will definitely not be able to escape responsibility!

Yang Feng pulled out a short gun, and the body of the head of the Wei family branch fell to the ground. She listened to the sounds in the hall and did not rush in. Instead, she dwarfed and disappeared into the night.

As the dead soldiers on the roof threw bombs, people who escaped were intercepted and killed by Yang Feng. The people in the hall were dead and injured, and the corpses were piled up layer by layer.

When the southern Xiongnu mobilized soldiers in the city and arrived at the scene, they saw only corpses on the ground and a dozen seriously injured and dying nobles. They hurriedly went to the Xiongnu doctor for treatment.

Now, she asked the few dead soldiers she brought to concentrate on hiding everywhere and dropping bombs, while she wandered around the periphery, waiting for opportunities to assassinate the escaped targets.

The so-called doctors of the Huns were shamans. They were helpless against this new type of injury, but faced with the threats from the Hun generals, they still gritted their teeth and did a simple bandage, then applied all kinds of messy plasters, and finally performed a ritual.

All this happened very quickly, less than half a cup of tea before and after. Yang Feng saw that the bombs had been thrown, and the sounds of soldiers coming to defend him came from all directions, so he whistled, calling for his men to start the search before the encirclement was completed. Luan retreated.

She learned the lesson from the last assassination. If she led someone to forcefully break in, even she would have a narrow escape, and the target could easily escape.

The window was hidden behind the screen behind him, and was intended for emergency use. He was in the air, still complacent, but before his feet even landed on the ground, he heard a popping sound, and immediately felt a sharp pain in his heart.

But now he couldn't care less. The top priority was to save his life. When he saw another ball being thrown in and exploding in the crowd, the whole hall had become a hell. He immediately grabbed the desk and backed away to the window, and then jumped upside down. Turn it outward.

King Zuo Guli, the leader of the Southern Huns in the city, was extremely angry about this. They searched the city strictly for the assassin, but they never found any trace. They didn't even find out how the assassin entered the city!

However, it turns out that it seems that the beliefs of these nobles are not pious, or these shamans are not good at their business. Anyway, in the next few days, the injured nobles returned to the earth one after another.

He trembled and lowered his head, looking at the spear point protruding from his chest, trying hard to turn around, but his heart had already been pierced, and a few mouthfuls of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he died immediately.

After everything happened last night, they said that the gods had heard their prayers. Whether these noble people could survive or not depended on the will of the gods.

The search team did not fail to do their best. After the assassination, tens of thousands of people were dispatched to search house to house in the city, digging almost three feet into the ground. Although many collaborators were dug up, nothing was found about the assassin. .

If the other party had adopted the method of a suicidal assassin, the worst possible outcome would be to show the body to the public and save some face. However, no assassins have been caught. This not only makes the senior officials wonder if there is something wrong, for example City defense or secret passage, or is there collusion between high-level officials and assassins?
If it was the former, the situation could actually be saved, but if it was the latter, it would be very scary, so the city began to doubt each other and everyone became panicked.

This result was an extremely serious blow to the morale of the die-hards in Jinyang City.

A few days later, when the situation in the city had calmed down and everyone had relaxed, at another small gathering in the city, the assassination happened again.

This time, because the number of people at the gathering was not as large as last time, fewer people died, but it made the Southern Xiongnu officials even more angry because among the people who died was the eldest son of King Zuo Guli!
Among the four kings of the Xiongnu, the pro-Han faction and the die-hard faction were equally divided. King Gu Li of the left and right sides was the die-hard faction. As King You Xian went to humble places and openly defected to Yuan Xi, the die-hard faction in Jinyang City once gained power and vowed to fight Yuan Xi to the end. Now that he was slapped in the face like this, how could King Zuo Guli swallow such a sigh of relief?

So a large-scale manhunt began again, but nothing was found. This result was unacceptable to the die-hards headed by King Zuogu Li, but they had no choice but to be furious. What they were afraid of was that if this continued, they would be killed by assassins before the city was lost!

As a result, people in the city began to gradually fall apart, and some people began to think of ways to find a way out. After discussion with King Gu Li, he felt that no matter what, he had to find a way to pretend to make peace with Yuan Xi first to delay the actions of the assassins in the city.

However, after the messenger left the city with a letter from King Guli of the left and right, he returned soon, bringing an extremely tough response from Yuan Xi, that is, King Guli of the left and right should give up all illusions of bargaining and surrender immediately and unconditionally. Yuan Xi only agreed Save everyone’s lives and make no other promises.

When King Guli saw the letter, his body trembled involuntarily, not only out of anger, but also fear. The other party had such a tough attitude. Was he determined?

King Zuo Guli was furious and said to King You Guli: "Where does this Yuan family's child get his confidence?"

"Let me, our Hu athletes, teach them a painful lesson they will never forget!"

The Xiongnu called themselves Hu people instead of the Xiongnu people called them by the Han people. They thought it was a contemptuous name. On the contrary, they thought that Hu was a good name. The "Hanshu Biography of the Xiongnu" records, "The Han Dynasty sent by the Shan Yu sent an envoy to say: There is a big Han in the south, and there is a big Han in the north. There is a strong Hu. A Hu is a proud man of heaven.”

After hearing this, King Youguli said worriedly: "Do you think other leaders in the city are secretly harboring assassins, waiting to seize our power?"

King Zuo Guli looked gloomy, "Even if there is, we can't go into details. Is it possible to search it from house to house?"

"I'm afraid the other party has this intention and wants to wait for us to get into trouble!"

"Issuing an order, starting from today, all kinds of gatherings are strictly prohibited. Take care of your own family, and try every means to hold on until winter. The ferocious tiger will naturally retreat. I don't believe he is besieging the city in the ice and snow!"

After hearing this, King Youguli had no choice but to agree. He was still full of doubts, wondering where the assassin was hiding?

At this time, in the Fenshui River flowing through the city, due to the water level dropping in autumn, a portal slowly revealed its upper edge.

Fortunately, it was dark, so no one saw it. The dead man guarding behind the door noticed it and hurried back along the passage to report back to Yang Feng.

He walked along the long passage, first down and then up. Repeated this several times, he walked to a room several feet underground and reported the situation. The people inside continued to walk in, and finally found Yang Feng.

After Yang Feng heard this, he said flatly: "When you go out with me to repair the door, be sure to cover it up."

"The water level will drop further in the future. We must not let anyone discover this channel. Just in case, block the back first and abandon it."

Carrying glutinous rice, water ash, powder and other things, they went out at night, drank river mud, and worked for most of the night. The outside of the portal to Fenshui was covered with soil again, which looked no different from the river bank soil. Then he blocked the back of the door with a pile of earth, and then returned exhausted to rest.

Yang Feng took a nap for a while, then checked back and forth in the passage several times to make sure that there were no problems with the emergency exits, and then she felt relieved.

However, now that the outlet of Fenshui River is sealed, it is temporarily impossible to draw water from Fenshui. Fortunately, when the tunnel was originally dug, there was a hidden well leading underground to ensure a water supply.

She sat next to the hidden well, took out a piece of beef jerky from her sash, and chewed it with the well water. At the same time, she looked above her head and thought that with this method, there should be no problem if she persisted for a few more months.

She didn't know how this set of tunnels was originally dug. She only knew that when Yuan Xi sent troops to merge the five counties of the state, he started thinking about how to conquer Jinyang.

Yuan Xi originally sent people to Jinyang in the name of merchants, bought several houses, and then concealed them from others and secretly excavated for more than half a year before digging out the current hiding place of Yang Feng and others.

However, these several places were independent and did not know much about each other. After Yang Feng and others entered, they spent a lot of effort to get through and were able to rely on them to hide.

Yang Fengxin said that although Xihu was awkward, sometimes his ideas were really unconstrained.
