Chapter 54: The Assassination of Bu Ji
Seeing that Taishi Ci was willing to accept the gambling contract, Long Jun was determined, as for how to deal with Bu Ji, Long Jun had already made up his mind in his heart, with 3,500 soldiers against the enemy army of 20,000, even if the battle of Crazy Stone Valley was repeated, the other party could not be annihilated, especially in the early days of the Yellow Turbans, all the Yellow Turban Army was basically the main force that Taiping Dao had been preparing for a long time, and only by beheading and killing Bu had made the Yellow Turban Army leaderless, could he have the opportunity to destroy the 20,000 Yellow Turban main force of Jimo.
Ordered Xu Chu to send Tai Shi Ci to the prepared camp tent, and Long Jun took Zhao Yun and Ma Chao back to the main tent to discuss how to sneak into Jimo City, at this time they were only a hundred miles away from Jimo, and the scouts in the army had already been dispatched to block the other party's sight, but if they wanted to hide from the sky and cross the sea, it was impossible to sneak five hundred soldiers into Jimo City within three days, not to mention that when the other party could not receive news near Jimo, it was impossible for Bu to have martial law at all.
Long Jun, who couldn't think of a solution, could only sigh and said, "It's really not good, only I can sneak into Jimo City single-handedly and kill Bu Ji, otherwise once Bu has reacted, our 3,500 troops will not be enough for the other party to eat!" ”
"What if you find a way to contain them?" Zhao Yun proposed.
"It's impossible, according to the news that the master got, there are at least about 3,000 cavalry in the city, and the mobility of these 3,000 cavalry is not comparable to us, not to mention that Bu is already the commander of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, and he also has 5,000 legendary Yellow Turban wrestlers in his hands."
"But that can't let Uncle Shi enter the dangerous place alone!"
"The current situation is that after today and tomorrow, Jimo's side will definitely step up its defense, if five hundred people sneak into Jimo within one day, the other party will also be suspicious, not suitable for our action, there are fewer people and there is no effect at all, and it may be a hindrance." Turning his head, he said to Long Jun again: "Meng Qi suggests that the master, as the commander of the Long family's army, should not leave the camp in person. Leave the assassination of Bu Ji to me, let me sneak into Jimo and kill Bu Ji, and I hope the master agrees! ”
Regarding the dialogue between Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, Long Jun can't deny it, but Ma Chao doesn't know how the killer behaves at all, this unlucky apprentice is nothing more than teaching him a lesson before, and he wants to kill Bu to prove it to himself!
So Long Jun said, "Meng Qi, don't mess around, your little ability, entering the city will only send meritorious service to the enemy, how do you know that assassination and killing the enemy on the battlefield are fundamentally different things, this matter can only be done by me personally!" ”
"But the master didn't answer the people, what should I do if I encounter danger during the retreat?"
"You don't have to worry about that, I have a way to solve it myself, but how to open the city gate and let us into the city is the key, it doesn't work if the number of people is small, and it attracts attention when there are more people!"
Zhao Yun continued: "What if we become Yellow Turban soldiers? ”
"Bu is no longer a fool, except for us who have exterminated the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, the other places have never won a battle at all, where did the defeated soldiers come from? And the Yellow Turban Army is clearly divided, and the movement of small units cannot be concealed at all, this plan will not work! ”
Ma Chao suggested: "Then what if we make a caravan from Xuzhou?" ”
Long Jun shook his head impatiently, and said irritably, "It's all said, now Bu is not stupid, let's cut off each other's sight, Bu will definitely strictly check any team in the past!" Don't think in that direction..."
"Huh!" Long Jun's eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his mouth glanced slightly, yes, the caravan Yellow Turban soldiers can't sneak in, but there is another kind of person The Yellow Turban Army will never be suspicious, that is, the disaster victims!
Saying what they thought in their hearts, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were also bright-eyed, and they all thought that this plan was okay, but there were no old and weak people in the army, how could they pretend to be disaster victims!
"Uncle Shi, we can't pretend to be a disaster victim, but there is a kind of person we can pretend to be!"
With a deep groan, with a look of sudden realization, Long Jun asked softly, "Zilong, do you mean the rebels of the government?" ”
"That's right, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, there were Han troops who surrendered to the thieves everywhere, Bu already only knew the age of Uncle Shi, but he didn't know the details of the army, as long as he ordered Uncle Shi's personal guard Zhang Qiang to bring the five hundred soldiers we had previously subdued in Qingzhou, and pretend to be Feng Yuanyi's deployment in Qingzhou to take refuge, Bu already must believe it, not to mention that Bu wants to sweep Qingzhou's strength is insufficient, and he will be ecstatic if he has the addition of local troops!"
"Good! This plan is very good, Zhang Qiang is bold and careful, Zhong Kang has praised him before, and then prepared a letter from Feng Yuanyi for him, Bu has to believe it even if he doesn't believe it! ”
"But Zilong still persuaded Uncle Shi to bring two of us, and the remaining one to take the Long family army! Otherwise, a few of us really don't worry about Uncle Shi going into danger alone! ”
"That's right, master, it's impossible for you to go alone, even if you say it's out of the sky, before leaving Guangling, I promised the old lady to take care of your safety, you are making me break my word!"
"Okay, this time I go to Jimo, you and Zhongkang follow me, Zilong leads the Long family army to meet us and others, once the city gate is opened, he will wave his army into the city and exterminate the rebels in the city!"
"Whoa!"
After the plan was finalized, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao hurriedly went down to Xu Chu to prepare for this matter.
-------------------------------------
At noon on the second day, three young beggars dressed in coarse clothes and rags walked out of the camp of the Long family army and walked towards Jimo City, these three people were the three of Long Jun, Ma Chao and Xu Chu in disguise, along the way, Long Junqian told Wan Wan to let the two of them not show their feet, but as soon as they arrived at the city gate, Xu Chu was arrested by the other party because he was too strong.
Secretly scolded for bad luck, Long Jun could only watch Xu Chu being taken away, but fortunately, Ma Chao was still following him, so as soon as he entered the city, Long Jun and others found the Long family's restaurant in Jimo, and ordered Ma Chao to find a way to sneak into the Zhuangding camp to bring Xu Chu out, and then contact Song Feng!
In the evening, at the south gate, Long Jun saw that Bu had personally come to greet Zhang Qiang and others, and the big stone in his heart finally fell. As long as Long Jun kills Bu Jun and Zhang Qiang, they destroy the enemy's cavalry and open the city gate, the city will inevitably be chaotic, and when the Long family army waives into the city, it will be easy to destroy the thieves!
At night, Long Jun changed into his night clothes and came to the vicinity of the county office. Since the invasion of Jimo, he has been an official in the county office he occupied, to show his identity as the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu, as for the soldiers and horses are gathered in a vacant lot in the southern city, only three hundred Yellow Turban wrestlers are left in the house to guard!
Because he wanted to show that he attached importance to the investment of Zhang Qiang and others, and learned from the ancients to buy bones, Bu had led his generals to prepare a banquet from Haitianlou and receive Zhang Qiang in person.
After turning into the courtyard, Long Jun smelled the aroma of new wine, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, it seems that this group of guys has drunk a lot of new wine in order to overflow such a rich aroma of wine. Long Jun knew very well about the strength of the new wine, and the stamina was great, this group of people drank so much for a while and still didn't all fall down? Quietly went up to the roof of the front hall, picked up a piece of mud, and watched the banquet in the hall.
In this regard, the corner of Long Jun's mouth showed a sneer, he only wanted to kill Bu Ji alone, but at this moment, all the generals in Bu Ji's army were gathered in the hall, and this group of people was served in one nest, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were not chaotic! After a while, Long Jun saw Zhang Qiang get up and leave the front hall as if he was going to relieve himself, so he quietly followed!
Along the way, Zhang Qiang walked very slowly, as if he was also drunk, and the Yellow Turban Lux who led the way didn't say much when he saw this, Bu had already attached importance to Zhang Qiang, he could see that if he offended Zhang Qiang, he would inevitably be given small shoes to wear in the future.
Keeping in mind Xu Chu's entrustment, Zhang Qiang has been looking for Long Jun along the way, wanting to protect this fat lord. But until he got to the latrine, Zhang Qiang couldn't see where Long Jun was hiding! But when he entered the latrine, he found a white cloth on the door! After looking around and finding that there was no one, Zhang Qiang took off the white cloth and took a closer look to find that Long Jun's instructions were written on it.
"Close the hall door and punish the thief!"
On the way back, Zhang Qiang kept thinking, how to close the hall door, how can the door be closed easily in the hot summer? And according to his observation, there were at least fifty soldiers guarding the front hall, and even if the door was closed, Long Jun would not be able to evacuate safely after killing Bu Ji!
However, when he remembered that Bu had been greedy for money, Zhang Qiang suddenly had a plan in his heart.
Back in the hall, the thieves were still staggering and mingling. Seeing Zhang Qiang coming back, Bu was already drunk and said, "Why is Brother Zhang so slow? ”
"Back to Qu Shuai, when Zhang was in the toilet just now, I remembered one thing that Feng Qu Shuai asked Zhang to do in Dongwu, and I was a little slow down!"
"Oh?" Bu has a slight shock in his body, most of the wine has woken up, and there is a blazing color in his eyes! What can Tobu do? It's not the 10,000 soldiers that Feng Yuanyi transported out at the beginning, but the soldiers who guarded later even disappeared with those things! At this time, Zhang Qiang mentioned this matter, and Bu had hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhang knows about this?" Come on! ”
Sweeping around the hall, Zhang Qiang with a hint of embarrassment, Bu already understood what Zhang Qiang was interesting, asked people to close the hall door, and all the guards and maids retreated, and pulled Zhang Qiang to the back hall to prepare to ask alone.
Long Jun, who sneaked back early, saw that Bu had left with Zhang Qiang, secretly praised Zhang Qiang's wit, went down the roof, dived to the window of the back hall, and turned in!
"Brother Zhang, did you participate in that incident?" As soon as he entered the back hall, Bu Ji hurriedly asked!
"Qu Shuai, I didn't participate much in that batch of things, but I just introduced the guards at the time, but as far as I know, those things were shipped out and sent to the counties for the purpose of trading with people!"
As soon as he heard what Zhang Qiang said, Bu had already narrowed his eyes, and he was furious in his heart, Feng Yuan was shameless, and dared to trade the benefits of the Yellow Turban with others, so he asked angrily, "Brother Zhang, do you know who to trade with?" ”
Before he could answer, Zhang Qiang saw the tip of a long sword coming out of Bu Ji's chest!
Bu couldn't even shout at the moment, his mouth was spitting blood, and he looked back to see who killed him, but before he could turn around, Bu Ji's tall body fell to the ground!
"My lord?"
Pulling down the mask of the night clothes, Long Jun raised his fingertips and whispered "Shhhhhhhh Don't say more! Lest they become suspicious, you will go out and call another person in later, saying that Bu has something to do with you to prepare the soldiers and horses, and after you go out, you will quickly go to the Zhuangding camp to find the two commanders of Xu Ma, raid the other party's cavalry station, open the east gate, and let the army outside the city enter the city. In addition, before leaving, mix this packet of medicine in wine and let the group in front of you drink it, this medicine is highly poisonous, and it will take effect in about half an hour! As he spoke, he took out a packet of powder from his bosom and handed it to him.
After whispering "Woo", Zhang Qiang hurriedly went to carry out Long Jun's orders!
After cutting off Bu Ji's head and waiting for another Yellow Turban general to come in and kill him, Long Jun turned around and left, and there was no reaction in the front hall until the end.
About an hour later, the Yellow Turban Camp in Nancheng was suddenly in chaos, and the officers and soldiers who had just entered the Nancheng Camp raided the cavalry station, and all the war horses were released from the stables by this group of people and ran back and forth in the camp. The Yellow Turban soldiers couldn't find their commander, and they all stood there at a loss, Ma Chao Xu Chu saw this, and hurriedly divided a part of the soldiers led by Xu Chu to the east city to open the city gate. Zhao Yun, who had already been ambushed outside the city, saw that the city gate was wide open, and immediately waved his army into the city.
Tai Shi Ci, who was following the Long family army, saw that the Long family army had already entered the city, and muttered, "I am very honored to have this person in charge!" ”
