Teacher, how did you tell those musicians were assassins? Adou asked. []

"Your Majesty. How much do you know about musical instruments? ”

"Instrument, this ...... I know them all. ”

"Hehehe, Your Majesty is not good at silk and bamboo pipe music, and the government is heartily in government, and the country is very lucky!" Pang Tong paused, and then said: "In the past, Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui was the best instrument. Mr. Shuijing's place, Han, Hu, Man, Yue, all ethnic groups have musical instruments, at that time my uncle Pang Degong often took me to Mr. Shuijing, so I am also proficient in musical instruments. ”

"These instruments seem to be unremarkable, but in fact, each instrument has its own special way of holding and using it, and it is not something that can be grasped casually. Those so-called musicians don't even know how to hold instruments, so I guessed that these people must not be musicians, and they must have come here for other purposes. It's just that I didn't think these people were assassins. ”

"Anyway, this time it's a mistake that the teacher is meticulous in his observation. The flaws of these assassins were seen. By the way, Teacher, who do you think sent these assassins? ”

"Who sent it? For example, if you want to assassinate Your Majesty today, it is nothing more than Cao Rong and Sun Deng, and it is most likely these two people who sent assassins. But think about it carefully, if His Majesty is assassinated, he will inevitably blame Gongsun Yuan, and now Sun Deng still needs Gongsun Yuan to contain Cao Ei, so at this juncture, Sun Deng is unlikely to send an assassin, and this assassin is sent by Cao Heng nine times out of ten. ”

"Cao Rong?" Adou nodded: "That's right, now that there is not much territory left in the Wei Kingdom, it is not surprising that Cao Rong Dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and sent someone to assassinate me." ”

At this moment, Huang Chong walked in.

"Your Majesty, we have recovered weapons from those ten Sanhan women." Huang Chong said, bringing over a tray with two daggers on it.

"Huh...... This dagger is a little weird! Pang Tong picked up the dagger curiously and looked at it carefully.

Pang Tong gently tapped the dagger with his fingers, and then said: "Your Majesty, look at this dagger, it is very rough to build, I am afraid this is not made by us in the Central Plains." ”

Adou stretched out his hand and took it: "Well, it seems that the level of weapon manufacturing in Liaodong is very poor, much worse than my Shuzhong." ”

"Your Majesty, that's not all. We also see that the Assassins used different weapons. Huang Chong interjected, took out a palm-sized scimitar, and handed it over.

"Uh, scimitar? This is also what the Assassins bringed? Adou asked puzzled.

"It was brought by the Assassins. The minister also wondered how the assassin could carry this kind of scimitar, remembering that this kind of scimitar was used by Hu people. Huang Chong said.

"These assassins carry this kind of thing with them?"

"Not exactly, there are ten weapons that are very common assassin swords. Everything else looked like it was used by the Assassins. ”

"Did those assassins recruit who's behind the scenes?"

Huang Chong shook his head: "These assassins are very hard-mouthed, I have used all kinds of punishments, and they still refuse to say anything." ”

Next to him, a cold light flashed in Pang Tong's eyes, and then he stood up: "Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, this assassin is probably not a group." ”

"Not a gang? If you put it that way, it makes sense to use a different weapon. ”

"Your Majesty, look at this scimitar, it should be the stuff of the Hu people, Your Majesty, don't forget, when the Hu army was flooded, none of the hundreds of thousands of Hu people's army fled back to the grassland. Since then, the Hu people on the grassland have been in a slump, and the Xianbei people are better, and the foundation is sufficient, although the loss of 200,000 troops, but it is not enough to bring about the disaster of extermination; However, the other ethnic groups are much more bleak, the Qiang and Di have surrendered to His Majesty, and the Qiang have been driven to the far north by the surrounding ethnic groups, and I have heard that there is ice and snow, and there is not a single grass and trees for most of the year. And the remnants of the Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian King, the power was already weak, and the loss of 100,000 people was already considered a disaster of extermination, before the Southern Xiongnu basically retreated near the Hetao grassland, and now there are fewer of these 100,000 people, and the Hetao grassland is no longer tenable. Now the Huns have been scattered everywhere, relying on Xianbei, Karasuma and other tribes for their livelihood. It is also very possible that the Huns hated His Majesty and sent someone to assassinate him. ”

"Huns......" Adou nodded slightly. According to Adou's knowledge, the so-called Xiongnu and Xianbei, which were powerful and extraordinary for a time, have disappeared in the vast river of history, and under the impetus of the huge wheel of history, the Huns have no ability to resist at all.

Footsteps outside interrupted Adou's musings.

"Your Majesty, Chen Liu's urgent report! Sima Yi went to Pengcheng in person and successfully persuaded Xuzhou to surrender Sun Deng, and now Pengcheng has been owned by Dongwu, and now the general of Dongwu has been drawn to Xiapi! ”

"So fast? It seems that we have to fight Qingzhou as soon as possible, and we must not let Sun Deng take the lead. Adou groaned, lowered his head and thought for a long time, and then shouted, "Zhang Wei." Prepare, I will personally go to Qingzhou to supervise the war! ”

……

Pengcheng is the seat of Xuzhou and the largest city in Xuzhou. It is said that it was established by Emperor Yao, when Chu and Han fought in the past, Pengcheng was the capital of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, since Chen Deng and his son dedicated Xuzhou, Pengcheng has always been the territory of the Cao family.

Today's Pengcheng has hung the banner of Soochow, among which Sima Yi has made great contributions.

Xuzhou Thorn Shi is Sima Yi's protégé, and it was Sima Yi who pulled it up. So when Sima Yi went to persuade him to surrender, he didn't encounter much resistance, and Dongwu won Xuzhou without spending a single soldier.

In comparison, at this time, 6 Xun was leading the sergeant to fight hard in Yuzhou. To the north of Shouchun, there are also Qian County, Runan, and Chen County, and to the west there are also Geyang and Anfeng counties under the control of Wei.

Sun Deng got Xuzhou without spending a single soldier, and he was naturally very happy in his heart, which made Sun Deng suddenly feel that this Sima Yi, who had just surrendered, was so cute. comparatively. The 6 Xun who is still fighting hard in Yuzhou seems to be dispensable.

After Sima Yi surrendered, Sima Zhao was also released from house arrest and taken to the front. And Sun Deng waved his pen and named Sima Zhao as the captain of Xuanyi, you must know that Sima Zhao is three years younger than Adou, and he is already a big official to be named the captain of Xuanyi at such a young age.

Now that Pengcheng has surrendered, Xiapi is bound to be difficult to defend alone, and Langya County on the back is mountainous, and there are not many defenders. Presumably, as soon as the army arrives, it will open the city and surrender, and looking at the whole of Xuzhou, there is not much resistance. Next, you can enter Qingzhou north, seize this sea route connecting Liaodong, and prepare for the attack on Jizhou.

All this can be said to be the credit of Sima Yi. In terms of being an official, Sima Yi's ability is indeed stronger than 6, so now the number one celebrity in front of Sun Deng is Sima Yi.

There are mainly two factions of people under Sun Deng, one is the Jiangdong family with 6 Xun, Gu Yong and others, and the other is the foreign household with Zhuge Jin. In the previous Sun Ce and Sun Quan eras, outsiders were appointed on a large scale, and at that time, officials who were not from Jiangdong were Zhang Zhaowei, and Zhang Zhao was very face-saving, so officials who were not from Jiangdong at that time had the upper hand.

After Zhang Zhao died, the local family officials in Jiangdong, such as 6 Xun, Gu Yong and others, gradually rose, and the children of the Jiangdong family provided Sun Quan with a large number of talents, and Zhuge Jin, the leader of the foreign officials, was a good man, so the foreign officials gradually became declining.

Now that Sima Yi is here, he has brought a ray of light to these officials who are not from Jiangdong. And Sima Yi also knew that when he first came to Chadao, he needed to encircle some people, so he took this opportunity to encompass a large number of generals from Jingzhou and Huainan.

Zhuge Jin is a very sleek person, and he is also a very smart person, seeing Sima Yi encircling some courtiers, he also understands Sima Yi's approach. So the sleek Zhuge Jin not only did not embarrass Sima Yi, but also let his son Zhuge Ke go, worship Sima Yi as a teacher, and staged a good play of "Harmony", in Zhuge Jin's opinion, it is better to make as few enemies as possible in the court. In this way, Sima Yi's momentum is even stronger.

Sima Yi's power is great, and Sun Deng is naturally very happy. The previous Zhuge Jin was too tactful, and he refused to be an enemy of 6 Xun and others at all. There is a kind of harmony above the court, but Emperor Sun Deng is a little weak-hearted, and now there is a Sima Yi who is higher than 6 Xun to avoid the dominance of the court, Sun Deng couldn't be happier.

……

There were not many defenders in Langya County, and after Sima Yi arrived here with 20,000 horses, the county guards symbolically resisted for a while, and then surrendered by car.

In this era when the family was in power, it was common to visit the local family after occupying a place, to have a good relationship with them, not to ask for help from these families, but to ask them not to pull back. And Sima Yi is no exception, after occupying the city, he invited the spokesman of Langya's family gatekeeper.

Langya County is mountainous, and places with many mountains in ancient times will definitely be poorer, and Langya County is no exception. In the entire Langya County, there are only two families that can be regarded as families. One is the Zhuge family, and the other is the Wang family.

The Wang family is a family that has only emerged in recent decades, and although the reputation of the Wang family is not obvious, it is the largest family in the world in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Now the head of the family is named Wang Xiang. This Wang Xiang is known for his filial piety, one of the twenty-four filial pieties, when he was young, he once "lay on the ice and begged for carp", Cao Pi was recruited several times, and Wang Xiang did not have an official. Wang Xiang also has a younger brother, named Wang Lan, who raised filial piety at a young age, and he is the fifth ancestor of the scholar Wang Xizhi.

The Zhuge family is the descendant of Zhuge Feng, the captain of the Yuan Emperor, but compared with Zhuge Feng, the ancestor, the Zhuge family is much more famous in the Three Kingdoms era, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin brothers are all members of the Langya Zhuge family. Now these two brothers are both officials and prime ministers, although the Langya Zhuge clan is not prosperous, but because of Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin, they have entered the ranks of the world's great families.

Sima Yi invited the two families to a banquet, the two brothers Wang Xiang and Wang Lan of the Wang family came, but the head of the Zhuge family did not come to the hospital, and it was Sima Yi's old acquaintance Zhuge Dan who came in his place.
