Soldiers come to the world

Cao Zhen, the governor of Yuzhou, was not in Kunyang or Xiangcheng. He had just returned to Xuchang from Kunyang. On the third day after he decided to send a grain team to Xiangcheng, Han Qing, the general of Xiangcheng, sent an urgent pigeon letter. A cavalry force of the Han army appeared north of the city, attacked Cao's grain team, and wiped out the thousand Cao troops sent by Han Qing to meet the grain team.

The pigeon letter said that there were seven to eight thousand cavalrymen of the Han army, which made Cao Zhen nervous. He had information about the Han army in Nanyang, and there were no cavalry of seven to eight thousand in Nanyang.

Cao Zhen stood in front of the sand table, staring straight at Luoyang. In fact, he had already realized that this cavalry could only come from Luoyang. It was very convenient to go from Luoyang to Xiangcheng. Isn’t the Han army attacking Luoyang now?

But the question arises, what did the Han army in Luoyang come to Xiangcheng for?Could it be.Is it false that they attacked Luoyang, but is it true that they attacked Xuchang?

Cao Zhenxin was in a mess. He couldn't help but wanted to send an urgent letter to Yedu several times, but he didn't do so in the end. He knew that the matter was of great importance and there was no basis for it. The Luoyang Han army's attack on Xuchang was just his guess, and he had to implement it. The letter can only be sent after confirming the true intention of the Han army.

But a fact stood in front of his eyes. The cavalry of the Han army had already cut off the channel between the two cities of Kunyang and Xuchang. Once the Han army broke through Kunyang, the [-] Cao army would have no way out.

Cao Zhen was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his back. He felt that a serious crisis had quietly approached, but he couldn't see clearly what the specific crisis was. Cao Zhen finally sighed. In any case, he had to Report to Yedu that the cavalry of the Han army appeared in the north of Xiangcheng. Cao Pi once ordered him to report back, no matter how big or small.

Cao Zhen immediately returned to the table and sat down, took a pen and wrote a short message to Cao Pi, and handed it to the soldiers: "Send it to Yedu quickly with a pigeon letter!"

Xuchang, like Yedu, has experienced both abundance and shortage of supplies in just half a year. In the spring of Jian'an 24th year, the city of Xuchang was in depression, shops were closed, population was lost, and the streets were deserted, only because of the war The sudden arrival of Xuchang made the atmosphere in Xuchang a little more tense and chilling.

The interrogation at the city gate has become extremely strict. Those who leave the city will not be questioned, but those who enter the city will be strictly interrogated. No matter men, women or children, they must be searched. City, will be taken away immediately for further inspection.

The streets are full of teams of patrolling soldiers. They watch every move in the city vigilantly, especially when crowds gather, they will be immediately surrounded by patrolling soldiers, and anyone who has abnormalities will be questioned by the soldiers.

In the north of Xuchang City, there is an alley called Eunuch Lane close to the wall of Xuchang Palace. The alley was originally a part of Xuchang Palace, and you can enter the palace through a small door. Some low-status eunuchs first lived in the alley. The origin of the name of the alley.

After Cao Cao moved his capital to Yecheng, Xuchang Palace was closed, and the eunuchs who lived in the alley also moved to Yedu. The alley was bought by a businessman and transformed into a tavern and a hotel, leading to The wicket of the door was also bricked dead.

Affected by the market depression, the tavern and hostel, which had a thriving business, have been closed for half a year. Just over a month ago, these two stores have changed owners. man.

However, the tavern and the hostel are still not open for business. No one knows what the bartender and the guys are busy hiding in the room. Of course, no one knows how many people live in this alley?

The tavern and the inn occupy a large area, with overlapping buildings and many extremely secret rooms. At this time, in a hut in the backyard, Li Fu was listening to a report from a young man.

Both the tavern and the hotel have been bought by the intelligence organization of the Han army. The main reason is that this alley is close to Xuchang Palace, which helps the intelligence organization of the Han army complete an important task.

Li Fu rushed to Xuchang from Chengfu County before the war broke out. He was the intelligence leader of the Han army in Wei State, and he was also in charge of Xuchang. He always stayed in Xuchang for a few months within a year.

The young man who reported the situation was his right-hand man named Shao Jian. His public identity was the deputy commander of the guards of Xuchang Palace. Although Xuchang Palace had been closed, there were still a small number of eunuchs and maids guarding the palace. Empress Fu, who was implicated in Fu Wan's case, was imprisoned in Xuchang Palace.

For this reason, Liu Jing reached an agreement with Cao Cao in Runan County. Cao Cao must not abolish Empress Fu, but must ensure the safety of Empress Fu and provide her with enough Lumi to support her. It is because Empress Fu has not been abolished. Daughters are only Yuan concubines and noble concubines, but cannot become queens.

In order to ensure the safety of Queen Fu, Cao Cao specially sent fifty guards to be on duty in the palace. No one was allowed to visit Queen Fu, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace were not allowed to go out. The supplies they usually needed would be provided by the government on time. .

As early as three years ago, Shao Jian, the deputy commander of the guards who was born in Bashu, was instigated by Li Fu and became a member of the intelligence organization of the Han army. At the same time, his other three subordinates also surrendered to the Han army. The four of them were responsible for the real protection Queen Volt's safety.

"Report to Sima, the humble officer is responsible for patrolling tonight, and the brothers can act after the hour!"

Li Fu stared at the map of Xuchang Palace on the table. He found the residence of Empress Fu on the map. This was also an important task that Liu Jing entrusted to him. Fushou of the Empress Dowager was rescued from Xuchang Palace to prevent Cao Cao from sending her back to Yedu.

Fu Hou has extremely important political value. She will be the key figure for Liu Jing to become orthodox. She is of great significance to Liu Jing and even the Han Dynasty. Li Fu is well aware of the importance of the mission. He has thought hard and planned every detail very carefully.

"How about the eunuchs and maids around Fuhou?" Li Fu doubted that among these people were undercover agents sent by Cao Cao to monitor Empress Fu. Given Cao Cao's personality, this possibility was extremely high.

Shao Jian thought for a while and said: "There are two personal maids and a eunuch serving Empress Fu. The two maids came from Yedu with her, and the eunuch's surname is You. He once served Liu Xie, but he did not go to Yedu. He stayed in Xuchang all the time, and Hua Xin appointed him to serve Empress Fu."

Li Fu sneered, he was almost certain that this Eunuch You was the one responsible for monitoring Empress Fu.

Li Fu asked again: "Will the guards find out that Empress Fu is missing?"

Shao Jian shook his head, "Impossible. The guards are never allowed to enter Empress Fu's bedroom. They can only patrol outside the palace. But every ten days, the Xuchang government will send a female official to greet Empress Fu. Over the years, it has never stopped."

"When was the last time the lady officer greeted me?"

"Seven days ago!"

Li Fu knew that they still had three days. Once Cao Zhen found out that Empress Fu was missing, he would definitely turn Xuchang upside down. Now that Cao Cao hadn't discovered the Han army's plan to attack Xuchang, he had to transfer Empress Fu away.

Thinking of this, Li Fu immediately said to Shao Jian: "Accord with the original plan, we will do it tonight, you go back and prepare!"

"Humble job understands, let's say goodbye!"

Shao Jian saluted and left in a hurry. Li Fu pondered for a while with his hands behind his back, going through every detail in his mind again to confirm that there were no loopholes before he was relieved.

As night fell, the streets of Xuchang became colder and colder. For a long time, no pedestrians could be seen, only the rhythmic footsteps of patrol soldiers and the sudden howl of wild cats were heard occasionally. It was a chillingly quiet night. .

In the hostel in Eunuch Lane, more than a dozen men in black were digging carefully on the palace wall of the adjacent hostel. The tall and thick Xuchang palace wall had long been a part of the hostel.

In the corner of the courtyard, the palace wall covered with shrubs and vines has been cleaned up, revealing a wall with a different color. This was originally the small gate for the eunuchs living in the alley to enter and exit Xuchang Palace, because the land in the alley was sold. , this small door was also bricked to death.

More than a dozen men in black moved swiftly and forcefully, and skillfully pried loose the bricks and stones on the small door, and took out the bricks one by one. Gradually, the small door that had been sealed for more than ten years reappeared in front of everyone.

On the other side of the small gate was a long-abandoned hut, which was full of decayed tables and swarms of rats and snakes. Everyone carefully cleared a path, opened the door, and entered Xuchang Palace.

Xuchang Palace has been closed for many years, no one lives there, weeds are overgrown everywhere, the houses are dilapidated, and it looks extremely desolate. More than a dozen men in black are soldiers of the Eagle Strike Army. Run to the harem.

Li Fu has carefully studied the Xuchang Palace, so he specially made a model for it. He is familiar with the various buildings of the Xuchang Palace. Although the structure of the palace is very complicated, it is still not difficult for him. He walked through the doors and corridors all the way. Soon, they came to the palace where Queen Fu was under house arrest.

After Haishi, Shao Jian took twenty guards on duty at night to patrol around the palace. They had gone around to the back, and there were no guards on duty in front of the main entrance. Turned over the window and entered the palace.

The palace was very dark, without a single light. After a while, their eyes adapted to the darkness, and then they went to the inner hall. At this moment, an old eunuch walked slowly with a lantern. Li Fu immediately guessed that this person was Eunuch You who served Empress Fu, this person cannot stay, he must be killed.

At this time, Eunuch You walked to the inner hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, please rest in peace!"

A woman's voice came from the room, "I see, Eunuch You, please rest too!"

Eunuch You turned around to leave, but Li Fu gave his subordinates a wink, a man in black pounced on him, covered his mouth, and before Eunuch You could react, he stabbed him in the heart with a knife, and Eunuch You died instantly .

The lantern did not fall to the ground, and was caught by another man in black. Li Fu then rushed into the inner hall with a few of his men. Empress Fu was not asleep yet, and was sitting in front of the mirror taking off her makeup. She had heard that The news of the emperor's death made her extremely sad.

At this time, Li Fu rushed into the inner hall with a few of his subordinates. The two maids were so frightened that they were about to scream when the guards covered their mouths. No malice!"

Although Fu Shou was also taken aback, but she is a queen after all, she has the power of concentration that ordinary people don't have, she quickly calmed down, and asked sharply: "Who are you, dare to break into Ai's bedroom!"

Li Fu said in a low voice: "The Empress, do you still remember the note you saw when you left Yedu at night?"
