Chapter 10: The Assassination of Gongsun Kang

Gongsun Kang's frequent patrols gave the Assassins the opportunity to assassinate.

It has been half a year since Cao Cao sent them to Liaodong. In order to have a legal identity to stay in Liaodong, in order to be able to walk the streets and alleys, and observe the terrain. The Assassins put down their swords and guns, and picked up their poles, vegetable baskets, and rattles. Disguised as woodcutters, small traders, and vegetable sellers. In order not to show their details, they can only drink the cheapest wine, sleep in the cheapest earthen houses, and find the cheapest prostitutes. This kind of role-playing, as soon as you do it for half a year, has made them miserable.

After spending more than half a year in Xiangping, Liaodong, the Assassins were already familiar with the terrain. They formulated a perfect plan, chose the right terrain, and waited for Gongsun Kang's next inspection.

The workshop of the Gongsun family is in Xiangping New Town. From the Xiangping Champion Hou Mansion to the new city, it is inevitable to go out of the old city of Xiangping first. The assassination was arranged 3 miles outside the walls of the old city, on the official road that was about to enter the new city.

Gongsun Kang and his entourage of seventy or eighty people were all on horseback, and there were no people on foot or in sedan chairs. Among them, personal guards accounted for more than half. The champion Hou was approachable and did not drive away the people on the road. The people gave way to the side of the road a little, and then stood still, looking at the horse team with reverence and envy.

Walking near the new city, a cart carrying vegetables suddenly overturned, and it happened to be across the road. A dark-faced vegetable farmer with thick hands and feet hurriedly began to clean up vegetables.

Gongsun Kang only wore a white Confucian robe today, not armor. He sent two of his own soldiers to inspect and clear the crowd. In this way, the group stopped and stopped in the middle of the official road.

Gongsun Kang rode a white horse, and the horse's name was Chasing Lightning. The gods are abnormal. Chasing electricity is very human, it snorted uneasily, and Gongsun Kang touched the horse's head and comforted it.

Suddenly, five crossbow arrows were shot at Gongsun Kang, covering the front and back, left and right directions. The arrows are blue, and at first glance they look like they are coated with poison.

The archers were all sharpshooters, and as soon as they heard the sound, the arrows came in front of them. The guards on all sides had no time to resist.

Gongsun Kang has time and a chance to avoid it. However, he sat on his horse with a smile, and simply tossed aside an arrow that had been shot at the horse's body with a whip.

The other four arrows were shot at Gongsun Kang, and before the Assassins could cheer, something amazing happened. The crossbow arrow passed through Gongsun Kang's white robe, and he heard a clanging sound, as if an iron weapon was striking each other. The arrows snapped off the arrows and fell to the ground.

The assassins thought that Gongsun Kang was wearing inner armor, and that it was invulnerable. Seeing that the cold arrows were ineffective, they all drew their swords and swarmed up from the side of the road, with more than 20 people.

The guards dispersed, in groups of two, protecting the assistant secretaries and Li Shanchang and they began to evacuate to the rear, and there were only a few guards around Gongsun Kang, standing beside the horses, protecting the chasing horses. This is what Gongsun Kang has explained before. The demigod-like Gongsun Kang doesn't need a guard to protect him at all.

Although I don't know why the guards didn't protect Gongsun Kang, the opportunity was rare, and the assassins let the others go and surrounded Gongsun Kang together. shouted: "Faint king, die!" ”

Gongsun Kang was speechless, I haven't been the emperor yet, can you change your lines?

He took off the iron spear hanging from the saddle and fired at his weapon at will. One shot at a time, all of them were pointed at the throat of the Assassin. A little ruddy spread from the throats of the Assassins, and then the Assassins suddenly lost all their strength and fell to the ground, silent.

Champion Hou's iron spear made the wind and rain impenetrable, and the two dozen assassins could not kill within five feet of the electric horse. They watched their companions fall one after another, and the sound of loud shouts unconsciously decreased. As dead soldiers who put life and death aside, they actually have a feeling of cold and fear.

After the guards escorted the secretaries and evacuated a few dozen meters away, they turned around and surrounded the assassins. Forty or fifty people surrounded the Assassins, and they looked like they were in tune with the champion.

Gongsun Kang shouted: "Don't live your mouth! Kill them all! ”。

Why don't you live your mouth? Without a living mouth, Gongsun Kang wanted to say that whoever sent the assassin was who sent it; Whoever you want to take revenge is whoever you want.

The assassins were all dead soldiers, and when they were caught, they would be caught and bitten indiscriminately, and they would fall for their discordant schemes. Just kill it clean.

The remaining dozen or so assassins looked at each other, I'll go, why doesn't the champion Hou play his cards according to the rules?

The guards held the third-generation Xiangyang alloy knife in their hands, which was light and sharp, and with a slash of their hands, there was a "stab" sound, and the assassin even broke the knife and the body into two. In the blink of an eye, a dozen more Assassins fell.

A few clever assassins threw away their weapons on the spot, fell to their knees, and shouted, "Don't kill me, I'll do anything!" ”

Gongsun Kang smiled coldly: "Okay, take them down!" See what they can do with it. ”

There is no need to go to the workshops in the new town. The guards escorted several of the surrendered Assassins to the camp of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry outside Xiangping and began their interrogation.

The Assassins have surrendered, fully demonstrating their greed for life and fear of death. There was no need to torture at all, so he happily confessed that he was sent by Yuan Shao. He also talked about the specific dispatch process and the process of lurking in Liaodong in all aspects, with a nose and an eye.

Gongsun Kang didn't believe their confessions and used the illusion he learned from Zuo Ci. During the few months in Wajima, Gongsun Kang and Zuo Ci communicated with each other, and his spiritual power was even stronger than Zuo Ci, and once he understood the principle, he could use simple illusions.

The illusion was born from the heart, and it was the thing they most longed for, so the assassins escaped and returned to Yanzhou after the assassination was successful. Enemy enemy, hero of mine! The Assassins became the heroes of Yanzhou, receiving Cao Cao's commendation and being rewarded with beautiful women and large sums of money.

The assassins were full of ugliness, and the people of Liaodong watched coldly, and from their self-talk, meeting Prime Minister Cao and the like, it was easy to find out the real mastermind behind them: Cao Cao.

Cao Cao made a bad start, a bad head that broke through the bottom line regardless of the consequences, regardless of the means.

If we talk about assassination and death, who has more armor soldiers produced by the system? Gongsun Kang could send tens of thousands of soldiers who would not risk their lives at any time to assassinate Cao Cao and all the civil and military officials under his command. You can even assassinate all the county officials and officials in Cao Cao's territory!

Of course, Cao Cao also opened up a new idea for Gongsun Kang: in the future, if the frontal battlefield is not outdated, you can send people to assassinate, sabotage in the enemy's territory, and create terrorism!

From this day on, officials at all levels in Liaodong were protected and monitored by the system, and Cao Huachun specially formulated regulations on the protection of officials and their families in Liaodong, and detailed rules for the ration of officials and guards at all levels.
