The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Wenpin and Huaxiong were still stationed at Lushan.After Cao Jun began to retreat, Long Fei also led the army back to Wancheng.Everything seemed to be calm, just when the army had just reached the gate of the city, a fast horse suddenly rushed in front of the army and blocked the way.The knight on the horse shook twice and fell off the horse.Zhang Xiu hurriedly stopped the soldiers and took the horses, and sent someone to check.

There was no injury on this person, he should have fainted from overwork.Zhang Xiu shook his head and was about to ask someone to lift the man aside, so as not to block the path of the army, but the man woke up, his eyes slightly opened, and his chapped lips moved: "General, I want to see the lord!"

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, hearing this person's tone should be one of his own, and he called Lord Long Fei, so he should have followed him for a long time.Zhang Xiu immediately jumped off the horse and stepped forward to ask carefully.As soon as he asked a question, the man passed out again.While sending people to look for the doctor accompanying the army, they also asked people to tell Long Fei.When the man woke up, Long Fei was right in front of him.The man opened his mouth: "My lord! My lord! Save General Xu Chu!"

Xu Chu and Chen Dao were sent to Dongjun by Long Fei, one to disrupt Cao Cao's base camp, and the other to avenge Xu Chu.Ten people dressed up as business travelers entered Yanzhou.Chen Dao used his identity as black ice to keep inquiring about the situation in Dongjun along the way.After Cao Cao sent troops, he left Cheng Yu and Cao Hong behind.Cheng Yu was so busy raising food and grass for Cao Cao that he was dizzy every day, while Cao Hong was happy and carefree.

Both Cao Hong and Cao Cao have the surname Cao, but they are not from the same line as Cao Cao.Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was originally the son of the Xiahou family, and later adopted Cao Teng, one of the ten permanent servants, so he changed his surname to Cao.He became brothers with Cao Hong's father.Cao Hong went to Wu County with his uncle Cao Ding when he was young.Cao Ding served as the prefect of Wujun, he can be said to be the emperor of the earth.Cao Hong has been idle since he was a child, a guy who specializes in causing trouble.When he was under Cao Cao, he still looked the same.Relying on his relationship with Cao Cao, he doesn't pay attention to anyone except Xiahou's family and Cao's family.The battle ahead was tense, and Cao Hong led a group of children from the clan to hunt and fish all day long, completely ignoring the dangerous situation in Yanzhou.

Cheng Yu wanted to talk about it, but he still didn't say it after thinking about it. One is that no one can control him when Cao Cao is not around, and the other is that he is a relative of the Cao family.I can only stop everything on myself, and try my best to do a good job in logistical support for Cao Cao's battle.

At noon that day, Cao Hong was carried back.Cheng Yu hurried to Cao Hong's home.More than a dozen doctors are treating Cao Hong's wounds.The children of the Cao family kneeling outside the door were all wounded, covered in dust, and their clothes were in tatters, obviously after a fierce fight.

Cheng Yu stared: "What's going on? What kind of beast is it, so powerful?"

No one spoke.A doctor came out of the room.The Cao family hurriedly surrounded them.The doctor sighed and shook his head again and again.Many female relatives began to cry on the sidelines.Cao Xiu grabbed the doctor's collar: "Say! What's wrong with my brother?"

"Don't worry, Major General, General Cao's life is safe! It's just..."

With a choking sound, Cao Xiu drew out his dagger and put it on the doctor's neck: "Fuck, if you have something to say, hurry up, what is it?"

The doctor broke out in cold sweat, and said again and again: "It's just that the injury is too serious, and the head was hit hard, I don't know when I will wake up!"

Cao Xiu's eyes widened: "I think you haven't been treated well, so get the hell out of here. If my brother doesn't wake up, all of you will die!"

According to the people who went out together, when they were hunting in Dongshan, suddenly a dozen masked men in black rushed out, one of them seemed to be very familiar with Cao Hong, called Cao Hong's name, and immediately attacked, those people Martial arts are high-strength, and they are also masters of killing.The ten guards who were in charge of protecting Cao Hong were killed in an instant, and several Cao family children were also killed.Because they called for help in time, the army horses on both sides rushed to them, and they forced the group back.However, Cao Hong had already been slashed, hit his chest, kicked on the head and passed out.

"The men in black?" Cheng Yu immediately asked, "Do you know them?"

Several people all shook their heads.Cao Xiu said coldly: "Sir, give me five hundred soldiers, and I will go out of the city to look for them. I must catch them to avenge my brother. If they dare to come to Yanzhou to make trouble, I think they don't want to live!"

Cheng Yu said: "Major General, don't be impatient. We haven't figured out the identity of the people who came here. Where are we going to find them? What clues can these men in black leave behind?"

A kid said: "They don't speak, they move so fast that they don't have time to observe! But these people's weapons are very complicated, they don't look like soldiers!"

"It's not a soldier, it's a bandit!" Cao Xiu said, "There are such powerful bandits near Dongjun, and they dare to attack my brother. I think they are tired of their jobs! Brothers, let's go and kill them!"

Cheng Yu hastily stopped him: "Wait a minute, everyone! My lord has already sent people to wipe out the bandits in the vicinity since he was in the East County. Besides, there are no bandits who are so powerful. General Cao's personal guards are all dead soldiers, and a few bandits in the district are all dead. It can be easily eliminated, which is completely unreasonable! This matter is not so simple!"

"Then you can't just sit here! Maybe they have already run away!" Cao Xiu was furious and wanted to do something to Cheng Yu.

Cao Zhen hurriedly hugged Cao Xiu: "Brother, listen to what you have to say!"

Cheng Yu looked at these young children of the Cao family and thought for a while: "How about this! You immediately say that General Cao's injuries are fine! If my guess is correct, those people must have a great relationship with General Cao. Hatred, if there is nothing wrong with the general, they will definitely come to seek revenge, and they can wipe it all out!"

Cao Zhen nodded: "Mr. is a good plan!" He glanced at Cao Xiu and said, "Brother! Just listen to Mr., and I will definitely avenge Brother Hong!"

Xu Chu was a little angry, and then cut Cao Hong's body and decapitated him again.But the army soldiers arrived, and Chen Daofei wanted to drag him to leave quickly. If he gave himself a little more time, he would be avenged.After losing this opportunity, Cao Hong will definitely never come out again, and he doesn't know when he will have to wait for the next revenge.Xu Chu slammed his fist on the pillar, and the house in the inn shook a little, fine dust fell from the roof.

Chen Dao frowned and came in from the door.Xu Chu snorted coldly, turned around and sat down in his seat.When Chen Dao entered the room, he poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, shook his head and sighed.Xu Chu asked angrily, "Hmph! If it wasn't for you, I would have killed that Cao Hong, and I wouldn't be able to leave now!"

"Impossible!" Chen Dao couldn't figure it out: "I saw you look at Cao Hong's sword, but you said there was no serious problem! Could it be..."

"Do you doubt my sword skills?" Xu Chu stood up in a huff: "Even if you don't die, it's about the same. For a guy like Cao Hong, it's better not to die, let him lie on the couch for the rest of his life!"

Chen Dao shook his head again and again: "I believe in your saber skills, but all the news says that Cao Hong is fine and will recover soon. If Cao Hong is fine, Dongjun will naturally not be in chaos, and the task of the master on behalf of us has not been completed. , No, tonight I'm going to find out the truth."

"I'll go too! If Cao Hong is not dead, it's a good time to make up for it!"

Because of the assassination of Cao Hong, Dongjuncheng became tense.At night, every house closes its doors and windows, and even the wine shops that were originally open in the middle of the night are also closed in the dark.All hotels will not accept anyone at night.In fact, no one came at this time, the streets were full of soldiers one after another, as long as they showed their heads, they would be discovered sooner or later.

Chen Dao and Xu Chu climbed over the wall and moved towards Cao Hong's house according to the route they had planned.With Chen Dao, a master assassin, he walked carefully along the way, avoiding the patrolling soldiers back and forth, spared a lot of distance, and finally came to the wall outside Cao Hong's mansion.Chen Dao took a look, the courtyard wall was more than ten feet high, and it was so dark that he couldn't see clearly what was going on above it.

Flying Tiger Claw was thrown up, and it was still strong after a test, so Chen Dao climbed up first.The two entered the yard smoothly, but there was no sound at all. All the lights in the surrounding rooms were turned off, and it was impossible to tell where Cao Hong lived.Xu Chu looked at it: "That room?"

Chen Dao shook his head, and the two separated to look for each other.Xu Chu walked around the three arched doors, and suddenly saw a house in front of him with a light on, so he quietly touched it.Two soldiers stood outside the door, a faint smell of medicine wafted from the room, and a few maids came in and out from time to time.Xu Chu was secretly delighted, and concluded that this was Cao Hong's room.

Slowly pulling out the single knife from behind, just about to rush out.Suddenly, torches lit up all around, illuminating the entire courtyard brightly.Xu Chu, who was hiding behind the little tree, hastily closed his eyes.A small tree can't stop the burly body, and half of it is exposed outside.A large group of servants and soldiers with sharp knives stood around.A half-old child laughed loudly: "Sure enough, it's here! It depends on where you go this time, come on!"

With a murderous expression on his face, Xu Chu came out from behind the tree, his gleaming saber glowing coldly under the light of the torch.A dozen soldiers surrounded him, Xu Chu snorted coldly: "Hmph! It's up to you!"

Cao Xiu smiled: "We have already spread the sky, don't even think about escaping today!"

The soldiers rushed over with a shout and brandished their weapons, and Xu Chu was unambiguous and greeted him with a brandished sword.The two sides are fighting in one place.With a scream, a soldier's wrist was cut off in unison, and he wailed loudly.Without waiting for the others to react, Xu Chu cut the other guy in half again, and the blood sprayed onto the pillar and slowly flowed down.The others were a little scared and didn't dare to rush up again.

Xu Chu seized the opportunity and came straight to Cao Xiu.Suddenly he tripped over something under his feet, his body became unstable, and he fell to the ground.A large sheet fell from the sky, covering Xu Chu's whole body.Xu Chu struggled twice, and the more he struggled, the tighter he struggled.As soon as he turned over, the shining weapon was stretched out in front of his eyes.Cao Xiu slowly squatted down: "How is it? Is it heaven and earth?" He reached out and pulled off Xu Chu's mask.

"Despicable!" Xu Chu was furious, but there was nothing he could do about being restrained.

Cao Xiu raised his foot and kicked Xu Chu fiercely: "Despicable? When you assassinated my brother, weren't you despicable? I really want to kill you assassins now! Tell me, where are your accomplices now?" ?”

Xu Chu said: "Grandpa is planted in your baby's hands. Grandpa is unlucky. Don't ask too many questions. If you want to kill him, kill him!"

Cao Xiu immediately raised his knife: "If you dare to be stubborn, I will kill you now!"

Cao Zhen hurriedly hugged him: "Brother, wait a moment! This person seems to be under Long Fei, it's better to wait for the lord to come back before dealing with him!"

Cao Xiu threw Cao Zhen away: "So what about Long Fei? My lord, Long Fei will definitely lose in this battle, and I still have to kill him when the time comes, so why bother!" As he spoke, the steel knife fell from his hand.

Note: Cao Zhen's character is Zidan, the son of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei Dynasty.According to "Three Kingdoms", Cao Shao, Cao Zhen's father, recruited soldiers and horses for Cao Cao, and was later killed by Yuzhou Muhuang Wan, so Cao Cao adopted Cao Zhen who lost his father.However, according to the records in "Wei Lue" cited in Pei Songzhi's annotation, Cao Zhen's original surname was Qin, and his father Qin Shao had always been good friends with Cao Cao.When Cao Cao went out for reconnaissance, he was chased and killed by Yuan Shu's trilogy. Fortunately, Qin Shao impersonated and was killed by Yuan Shu's trilogy, which saved Cao Cao.So Cao Cao adopted Qin Zhen and changed his name to Cao Zhen.
