The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Fortunately, the steep and smooth cliffs were not formed by earthquakes.Most of the mountains in the north are stone mountains, and the mountains are hard. It is impossible to climb up the cliffs that are several feet high.In the south, most of the mountains are earthy.Although there is only a little bit of soil on the surface of the stone, there is a place for vegetation to grow.Flying the tiger's claws with his back on his back, Long Fei grabbed a small tree on the cliff with one hand and tugged it hard. He felt that there was no problem, so he climbed another step up.

It took half an hour to climb the cliff several feet high, and I was so tired that I was sweating.Standing on the top of the cliff and looking at the scenery below, it really has a different taste.The camp of the Xiahou brothers was right in the middle of the official road, with the dense forest on the left and the small river on the right.Just as the sun got angry, the cook who got up early to cook was carrying water in the Panlong River.

Long Fei hurriedly dodged into the weeds, and Chen Dao, who came earlier than him, and a dozen bodyguards immediately surrounded him.Chen Dao carefully identified the direction, and pointed to the front: "According to the scout's report, you can bypass Cao Jun's spies at the top of the cliff by walking from here."

Long Fei nodded: "Very well, I won't talk about the mission. According to yesterday's estimate, a dozen or so scouts should be sent today. Remember to come back at noon and report to Xiahou Dun, otherwise he will become suspicious! Let's go! !"

Xia Houyuan was still a little worried. It had been two days, and Long Fei outside the valley had not moved at all.His soldiers and horses and those common people add up to tens of thousands, and the daily food and drink is a huge number.I don't know where Long Fei got so much food, and it took nearly two months to feed so many people.He wouldn't believe it if Long Fei was not in a hurry to go there, but why there was no movement for two days.

"Report...!" The guard came to Xia Houyuan with a roll of silk handkerchiefs: "General, Long Fei sent someone here to discuss something important. This is a letter from them!"

"Huh?" Xia Houyuan was quite surprised, but he had some expectations in his heart, hoping that it was Long Fei's letter of challenge.He opened his eyes and frowned.Xiahou Dun got up just in time, yawned big, and stretched a long way. Seeing what Xiahou Yuan was looking at, he walked over: "What's wrong, second brother, what is this?"

"It's Long Fei's plan to delay the attack!" Xia Houyuan had already guessed what Long Fei wanted to do: "Have the spies sent to Lushan and Anle left?"

Xiahou Dun looked blankly: "Cao Hong is responsible for this matter, you should ask him!" Xiahou Dun unfolded the silk, read it carefully, with a smile on his face, and said to Xia Houyuan: "Isn't this a letter from the second niece? Why? It will be a slow strategy, let's see that although she is married to Long Fei, she is still the daughter of our Xiahou family, and I have not forgotten his uncle!"

Xia Houyuan ignored him.Xiahoudun is good at everything, but he is a bit protective of his shortcomings because of the convenience of family affection.I have proposed marriage to Cao Cao many times, hoping that Cao Cao can marry a daughter to his second son Xia Houmao. According to Xiahou Dun's words, this is more relatives.Cao Cao was also very happy with his actions, so he married his eldest daughter Cao Zheng to Xia Houmao.As long as the children of Xiahou's family and Cao's family ask for something, Xiahou Dun will gladly obey.Xiahou Dun's family often gathers more than a dozen family members and nephews to chat and drink with them.

In the letter, Cao Jie invited Xiahou brothers and Cao Hong to a banquet, saying that she hadn't seen the three uncles for a long time, and she missed them a little. It was God's arrangement to meet them here.Moreover, some past events were specifically mentioned, which were all related to Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Dun felt strange after reading it.

Cao Hong was still sleeping, Xia Houyuan lifted the quilt and threw it away.The cold wind blew into the tent, and Cao Hong, who was only wearing his middle coat, shivered coldly. He curled up into a ball, turned over, hugged his body tightly and fell into a deep sleep.Xia Houyuan lost his temper, and when he saw the jug on the small table next to him, he already guessed that Cao Hong must have been drinking in the camp last night.

He picked up the jug and poured it on Cao Hong's face.The ice-cold sake was frozen overnight, and it was bitingly cold.Cao Hong jumped up to a height of more than ten feet, opened his mouth and cursed: "Who! You bastard, you are pouring water, don't you want to live?"

Xia Houyuan threw the jug on Cao Hong's body: "Put your clothes on and come to me, drink in the camp and hit me with thirty military sticks!" He had already reached the door, when Xia Houyuan remembered that he came to ask about the scouts, and stopped again. He stepped down and turned around, and gave Cao Hong a hard look: "Send me the people who are going to Lushan and Anle immediately, or you will be punished for both crimes!"

Cao Hong yawned and appeared in the large tent of the Chinese army, and sat down in his seat after entering.Xiahou Dun smiled: "A niece from a certain family came to write a letter and invited me to a banquet. I have to go anyway, and my second brother will handle the affairs of the camp. If there is any change, immediately send troops to attack Long Fei !"

"Go to the banquet! Then take me there?" Cao Hong had two major hobbies in his life, one was money and the other was wine, and he didn't care much about women.

Xiahoudun said coldly: "We go deep into Yuzhou alone, the most dangerous. You are the head of the scouts and sentries. Who will command them when you leave? Without them, we can't even escape from Yuzhou!"

"It's not that serious!" Cao Hong waved his hands again and again: "It has been reported that Long Fei only has less than a thousand people this time, and there are still tens of thousands of people, and Lushan and Anle are so far away from here, and there is an ancient city blocking them. Come here, we must know that our 3000 people can't beat Long Fei's [-] soldiers?"

"Okay, okay!" Xiahou Dun was very concerned about Cao Jie's invitation to the banquet.Now that Cao Hong said so, he was relieved and immediately decided to take Cao Hong with him.Originally, he wanted to take Xia Houyuan with him, but Xia Houyuan was more sober and felt that this matter was unusual.The two families are currently in a state of war, so there must be something strange about Cao Jie's sudden letter.

Xiahou Dun is the main general, and no one else can stop him.That afternoon, Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong set off with a few followers.Long Fei's barracks is at Taniguchi, and it's time for half a stick of incense.Cao Jie greeted him at the gate of the camp with several of his maidservants.Xiahou Dun smiled all over his face.Talking and laughing along the way, they entered a tent next to the main tent.The fact that Long Fei wasn't there made Xiahoudun feel much more comfortable.If he saw Long Fei, he really didn't know what to say.

The meal was very happy. The family only talked about family relationship, and didn't mention the war at all. From time to time, laughter came from the tent.Xiahou Dun liked children, and Cao Jie tried his best to welcome them, so he drank a little too much before he knew it.While hiccupping, Cao Hong said with a smile: "Brother really shouldn't have married you to Long Fei, what is Long Fei? A man of unknown background, with few soldiers and horses, he still has to imitate others to coerce the emperor to order him." Prince, this time he is alone in danger, I think he is a brave man, it is hard to say whether he can return to Wancheng!"

When Cao Jie heard this, tears flowed down his cheeks: "To tell you the truth, uncles, I've been thinking about this these days. What should I do if my father and my husband fight? It's not good to help anyone. , but I can't stay out of it, I feel very uncomfortable."

Xiahou Dun smiled and said: "Niece Xian, don't take this matter to heart, matters between men are resolved by men themselves, whether it is the eldest brother or this Long Fei, I think they love you very much, so you just need to do your best." The point is, don't be so sad!"

Cao Jun nodded: "Thank you Uncle Xiahou for your teaching, I will remember it!"

Both Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong drank too much, so they rested in Long Fei's camp that night.In the middle of the night, Cao Hong went out of the tent to have a rest, and suddenly saw bright lights in the big tent, and figures coming in and out.Out of curiosity, Cao Hong tiptoed around to the outside of the big tent.The cowhide tent was very thick, and it seemed that they could vaguely hear the fierce quarrel inside.Cao Hong hurriedly put his ears on the tent, and was shocked when he heard it.

Ignoring the pants I hadn't pulled up yet, I ran back in a hurry.Xiahou Dun was woken up in two or three strokes: "General, it's broken, we fell for it! My niece gave us a Hongmen banquet!"

"What Hongmen Banquet?" Xiahou Dun hadn't woken up yet.

"Oh!" Cao Hong told Xiahoudun what he had heard in detail.

After Long Fei left, all matters in the camp were handed over to Guo Jia.According to Guo Jia's intention, no one is allowed to participate in the banquet, and no one is allowed to contact Cao Jun's people.I don't know how Xu Chu knew that Xiahou Dun also came with his enemy Cao Hong this time.He immediately asked Guo Jia to detain Xiahoudun and Cao Hong, and wanted to kill Cao Hong to avenge the hundreds of people in Xujiazhuang.

Guan Hai and Li Ru hurriedly tried to persuade him, but Xu Chu's eyes were red, and he refused to agree.Coupled with Dian Wei fanning the flames, Xu Chu walked out of the tent with his weapon in hand.No one left in the camp could beat Xu Chu, only Dian Wei, but Dian Wei was on Xu Chu's side.Guo Jia threatened with military law, but Xu Chu ignored it completely.Pushing away Guan Hai, Meng Shuo, Mi Fang and others who were blocking him, he took Dian Wei straight to Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong's tent.

When Cao Hong was about to say something frightening, Xu Chu and Dian Wei rushed in.When the enemy met, they were extremely jealous.Xu Chu swung the sword in his hand: "Cao Hong, you idiot, today I will kill you to avenge the villagers of Xujiazhuang!"

The knife went straight to the top of Cao Hong's head, and Cao Hong, who was frightened, hid behind Xiahou Dun's body with a scream.Xu Chu slashed at nothing, then turned his wrist, and the second slash came horizontally.He doesn't care about Xiahou Dun or Cao Hong, as long as it is Cao Jun, he will kill one when he sees one, and kill one when he sees two.Xiahou Dun greeted each other with a horizontal halberd, and the two fought together.Although Xiahoudun was good at fighting, he was not a match for a fierce general, so he knocked Xiahoudun's weapon into the air with two or three blows.

Xu Chu yelled: "You man, take your life!"

The third strike came again, Xia Houdun had no weapons and could only watch Xu Chu wait to die.

"Dang!" There was a voice asking for wrong.Xu Chu's broadsword was stopped by a red dagger.Xu Chu stared at Long Fei: "Get out of the way, or I'll kill you too!"
