The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Lu Xun secretly left Jiangzhou, according to his plan with Gao Shun, to go around behind Zhuge Liang.There are many mountains in the land of Shu. As long as one of the mountain passes is controlled, it is possible to cut off Zhuge Liang's retreat.Looking carefully at the map, Gao Shun and Lu Xun chose Yaozigou. This place is surrounded by mountains on one side and river on the other. The terrain is very good.The small road runs along the riverside, if a camp is set up on the road, let alone a [-] army, even a [-] army may not be able to break through.

Another advantage of this Yaozi ditch is that it is shaped like a kite. There is a gentle slope on the road here. Although the slope is not steep, it is very long, and it is extraordinarily strenuous to walk up.Lu Xun watched it, and immediately ordered to occupy the top of the slope.Zhuge Liang also has soldiers and horses stationed here, but there are not many people.He also felt that this place was too dangerous, and if someone occupied him, his rear would be cut off.Zhuge Liang is a cautious person, so he also kept some soldiers here.

Lying in the grass halfway up the mountain, Lu Xun looked down: "There are not many people, let people lay an ambush at the mouth of the valley, and we can't let anyone go!"

The sound of shouting and killing suddenly came from the middle of the mountain. Liu Beijun, who was resting, was startled and hurriedly looked up. The densely packed black armored soldiers and horses on the middle of the mountain rushed towards his camp like a flood.The main general who stayed behind was a captain. Seeing this posture, he grabbed the soldiers beside him: "Quick! Send someone to inform the military division immediately, and say that the dragon army is sneaking into our rear!"

As soon as the words fell, a feathered arrow suddenly pierced into his chest, and the whole person was in a state of shock, and he grabbed the soldier's hand even tighter: "Quick! Go!"

Lu Xun led five thousand soldiers and horses, while Liu Bei's army stayed behind only four or five hundred. Such a big disparity, Liu Bei's army surrendered without much fighting.After entering Liu Beijun's camp, Lu Xun didn't rest. He sent people to reinforce the camp, and at the same time let people dispose of the prisoners.The captives were divided into three groups, those who were willing to surrender were arranged in one group, the old, weak, sick and disabled were arranged in a group, and those who were stubborn and loyal to Liu Bei were arranged in a group.The three groups of people also dealt with them differently. Those who surrendered were naturally taken back to their own troops, the old and weak were released on the spot, and the stubborn ones were slaughtered.The person sent by Liu Beijun's captain before he died was also caught. Lu Xun didn't even look at it, so he ordered him to kill him.

For the renovation of the camp, Lu Xun also had his own ideas.Although Liu Beijun's camp is also in power, the mountains to the east are not guarded.Lu Xun took advantage of this loophole and swarmed down from the mountain in the east.Lu Xun divided his soldiers and horses into two groups, one camped on the road and the other camped on the top of the mountain. Then he cut off the road and diverted the river water around the front of the village, completely cutting off the road.

Lu Xun stepped up the construction offensive behind Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang was not idle, and specially sent people to dig tunnels.The effect is not bad.Jiangzhou is located on the bank of the Yangtze River, and the soil is relatively soft. As long as reinforcement measures are taken, the excavation speed will be very fast.There was no movement in Jiangzhou, neither sent out scouts, nor released secret operations, but I don't know if people have found out their movements.

Ten days later, the person in charge of digging the tunnel came back and reported that the tunnel had been dug, which made Zhuge Liang and others overjoyed.Mi Zhu quickly asked, "Did Gao Shun find out?"

The captain shook his head: "No, the exit is very hidden. I sent someone up to check, but there was no movement!"

Ma Liang chuckled: "That's fine, as long as we enter the city and cooperate with the outside, Jiangzhou will definitely win! At that time, it's me who sees him flying like a dragon!"

"Don't be careless!" Zhuge Liang said: "Tomorrow, we can send a small group of soldiers and horses to sneak into Jiangzhou to test it out. If anything happens, we can find another way!"

On the second day, Zhuge Liang sent a team of more than a dozen people.This group of people sneaked into Jiangzhou secretly from the tunnel, and wandered around Jiangzhou City.From the outside, Jiangzhou looks very quiet, but in fact, it is in full swing. People come and go on the streets, whether they are soldiers or helping people, they come and go in a hurry.They are all busy for the survival of Jiangzhou.At this time, you can see what it means to be a person who wins the hearts of the people.

The dozen or so people didn't dare to take any action. After checking, they came back from the tunnel and told what they saw in Jiangzhou City.Ma Liang didn't care about these things. When he heard that Gao Shun hadn't discovered the real thing, Ma Liang immediately laughed: "Military division, we will win this battle!"

However, Zhuge Liang sighed: "Our army has been stationed in Jiangzhou for half a year, and the people are not so active, and Long Fei has only been here for two months, so we will see who wins and who loses!"

"Military division is ridiculous!" Ma Liang immediately said, "Long Fei is just good at winning people's hearts. The people of Jiangzhou have been deceived by Long Fei. If Long Fei really obeys the people's will, why did the family in Jiangzhou move away? This world is a big family. This is where Long Fei is most unwise! When we occupy Jiangzhou and move those aristocratic families back, Jiangzhou will still be our Jiangzhou!"

Wei Yan is the vanguard, so the work of digging into the tunnel is naturally his.According to Wei Yan, this is a dog's hole, how can a man go into a dog's hole, but Zhuge Liang has already ordered, and he has to listen.Looking up at the dark tunnel, Wei Yan gritted his teeth, bent down and crawled in.In order to prevent being discovered by Gao Shun, the entrance of the tunnel was chosen behind a mountain ridge.

The tunnel is still relatively spacious, and it is just right for two people to walk side by side and bend over.For the sake of safety, the planks overhead are supported by standing logs one by one, but occasionally some clods of soil still fall down.Wei Yan didn't pay attention and stepped into the water.Because this place is very close to the Yangtze River, the groundwater is relatively shallow, and the river water in the tunnel backflows, and a lot of river water will accumulate after a long time.All kinds of uncomfortable words such as dark, damp, and turbid are perfectly reflected here.

The tunnel is very long, and Wei Yan's back felt a little sore, and the guide said: "General, the exit is ahead, can you send someone up to check it out!"

"Okay! Go! I don't want to stay here for a quarter of an hour!" Wei Yan bent over in pain, eager to get out immediately.

Soon there was movement from the people going up, and Wei Yan looked up, only to see a soldier lying at the entrance of the tunnel and waving upwards.Wei Yan stretched his body and climbed up the repaired steps.With his head still in the pit, he stretched out his arm and said angrily, "Damn it, give me a hand!"

Someone grabbed Wei Yan's wrist and lifted it up vigorously, then he felt a sudden lightness under his feet, and the whole person came out of the tunnel lightly.His eyes hurt from the glare of the sun, and he was about to reach out to rub his eyes when he felt that his arms were behind his back.Something as thick as a hemp rope was swimming between his arms.Just as he was about to open his mouth, a large ball of rags was stuffed into his mouth immediately.

When Wei Yan's eyes adjusted to the light outside, he became depressed instantly.Just outside the exit of the tunnel, a large group of Dragon Army stood outside neatly.They work in teams of two, each holding a rope in their hands.All the soldiers who came up at the beginning were all tied up, and only one of his own soldiers was still waving downwards at the tunnel entrance.

Wei Yan hummed twice, and Gao Shun hurriedly made a silent gesture with a faint smile on his face.Wei Yan had no choice but to announce it when he wanted to speak out. He could only watch helplessly as one by one soldiers were captured by Gao Shun and taken away one by one.Finally, there was a clever guy who stuck his head up now. Seeing this situation, he hurriedly fell down. The Long Jun on the side didn't catch him, and was jumped into the tunnel by that kid.

"Send a signal!" There was only a sound of arrows flying into the sky, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and Wei Yan felt a burst of ground under his feet. Wei Yan opened his eyes wide. Although he didn't know what happened, his intuition made him feel that it must be something bad.Sure enough, the time was not long, and there was a faint smoke coming out of the tunnel entrance, and it was getting bigger and bigger.Not long after, there was a severe coughing sound from the tunnel, and a soldier came out of the tunnel with his nose and tears.

At this point, I don’t even care about what’s outside. If I don’t go out, I might be smoked to death inside. Even if it’s a guillotine outside, I can at least live a little longer. Just like before, soldiers came to kill those who crawled. The Liu Beijun who came out were arrested one after another, and stayed there one by one.At this moment, Wei Yan didn't make a sound, he knew that he had already prepared for it, even if he didn't come up just now, he would definitely climb out now.

Just as Wei Yan expected, from the first day Gao Shun was stationed in Jiangzhou, he found that the soil in Jiangzhou was soft and suitable for digging tunnels.When Zhuge Liang's army came, he took extra precautions.Sure enough, three days ago, Gao Shunli used Longfei to detect the tunnel and successfully found the location of Zhuge Liang's tunnel.Zhuge Liang sent troops to test yesterday, Gao Shun also knew about it, but he didn't startle the snake.

Today, the person in charge of listening to the sound of the tunnel heard a noisy sound in the tunnel. Gao Shun immediately realized that someone was coming, and immediately summoned soldiers and horses to wait at the entrance of the cave.Since you came quietly, I will also catch you quietly.Now arrest those Wei Yan sent to see the situation, and lure them up one by one.If it doesn't work, there is another trick. In the place where the tunnel is close to the city wall, Gao Shun has had the tunnel dug up overnight. As long as the people inside want to escape, the tunnel will be collapsed immediately, and then fire will be set inside to prevent the smoke, so that Liu Bei who comes in None of the soldiers could escape.

After waiting for a full noon, there was no movement in Jiangzhou City.Ma Liang turned around in a hurry: "What's going on? What is this Wei Yan doing?"

Mi Zhu shook his head: "Looking at it from this point of view, it seems that there is more danger than good luck! Military division, why don't we retreat for now and make a better plan!"

"No! We have been waiting for so long. If we retreat now and there are changes in the city, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity?" Ma Liang still had a glimmer of hope. According to his estimation, the matter would be possible, but he couldn't figure it out. Why? There is no movement until now?Suddenly he remembered something: "Military Master, did Wei Yan go to Long Fei's side?"
