"So this person is of unknown origin?"

Liu Fan was stunned.

A person of unknown origin mixed into the Xianbei of Xiahu must have been premeditated.

How could Zhang Liao be so careless. Doesn't he know that Helian is his most important pawn?

"Go back and tell Zhang Liao, block the news, don't let the news leak out, and restrain the Xianbei people. Tomorrow I will personally go to Xia Lake to investigate. ”

Liu Fan commanded the cavalry.

"No!"

The cavalry was ordered to leave.

"Alas! For the nine points of the mountain, it fell short! He Lian died, even if his son Qianman succeeded to the throne, it would be difficult to restrain Xixian Bei. Was it Helian killed by the Xianbei faction in the west, or Helian killed by the Xianbei faction in the east? ”

After the cavalry left, Liu Fan sighed and said.

Helian was an important step in his westward advance.

Liu Fan originally planned to rely on Helian to salute the western Xianbei first and then the soldiers, and control it step by step.

The place south of Gaoque and north of Qilian Mountain, he also wanted it.

To the south of the Qilian Mountains is the Hexi Corridor.

Due to the inconvenient transportation in this era, it is impossible to enter Liangzhou from the Xianbei generation in the west.

But it can be from the homeland of the Xiongnu to the north and settle down. If it works well, it can form an encirclement of Guanzhong.

When necessary, the Han army went out of Jilusai and Gaoquesai, crossed Zhuoxie Mountain, and directly attacked Xianbei Lianyi in the west.

Now everything is in vain, which makes Liu Fan sigh.

Ke Zhibu in the north of Daijun, Que Ju in the north of Shanggu, and Murong in the northwest of Youbeiping were all the objects of Liu Fan's suspicion.

for these tribes have enmity against him.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jia Xu returned from Shuofang County.

The next day, Liu Fan handed over the affairs of Yanmen to Xun You and Cai Yong. He led Jia Xu, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Zhao Ji to Xiahu.

When we arrived at Summer Lake, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

"He Lian's death, the last general will not be able to escape the blame, please ask the general to punish the crime."

Zhang Liao bowed to Liu Fan, feeling guilty.

"Although it is not yours, you are guilty of dereliction of duty. You will be exempted from two years, can you be convinced? ”

Liu Fan said to Zhang Liao sharply. If it weren't for the fact that it was the time to employ people, he would definitely let Zhang Liaoguan go to the next level.

Before leaving, Liu Fan ordered Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong to strictly guard and explain to Helian, repeatedly.

Huang Zhong is now guarding Dingxiang and Yunzhong.

Zhang Liao, as the highest military attache in the Xiahu military camp, must bear this fault by him.

Zhang Liao was convinced.

Zhang Liao thanked him.

"Didn't anyone know the Assassin? Bring up the bodies of Helian and the Assassins. Then call the leaders of the Xianbei tribes and the nobles. Liu Fan instructed Zhang Liao.

After a while, the bodies of the two were carried up.

Those Xianbei nobles were also brought up.

The assassin was so small that it was hard to imagine that the burly Kazuren had been killed by him.

"I and He are kind to each other, and we are close to each other. didn't want to leave for a few months, and Lian Shan Yu was brutally murdered by traitors. My heart is filled with grief. Now to avenge and revene Lian Danyu, so that he can smile at Jiuquan. Liu Fan faced the Xianbei nobles, and said something pretendedly, which was to comfort these Xianbei people, and then Liu Fan brought the words to the point, saying: "This thief is the murderer of Shan Yu." But he is not the real murderer, who can tell the identity of this person, I will give him a hundred cows and a thousand sheep. ”

Liu Fan also understood that the possibility of these people killing He Lian was very small, and they were both prisoners, so there was no need to get along with He Lian.

Many people are also competing for credit, if they perform well, they are favored by Liu Fan, and they will be crowned a Xianbei Zhonglang general, not better than Lian Dan?

How did this Assassin infiltrate the layers of sealed Summer Lake? Food for thought!

After hearing Liu Fan's words, the Xianbei nobles and the leaders of the various departments shook their heads again and again.

This Assassin they had observed, they didn't recognize it, it didn't belong to their tribe.

They don't dare to take this kind of credit, and they can't say why they come and get into trouble.

At this moment, Jia Xu stepped forward and picked up a bone spur less than two feet by the assassin's side with his sleeve.

This is a corbel bone, the front end is sharpened very sharply, and because it is relatively short, it is also easy to carry in concealment.

"He is not a Xianbei person, a Xianbei person has a high nose and deep eyes, and a full forehead, except for this assassin who wears Xianbei clothes and has a Xianbei hairstyle, he looks like a man of my great man."

Jia Xu only glanced at the assassin, and then kept staring at the bone spur.

"Han Chinese!"

Jia Xu's words made Liu Fan even more confused.

He thought about Xianbei in the east, he thought about Xianbei in the west, he thought about Ke Shi, Que Ju, Murong, and even thought about the Huns.

I only didn't think that this was done by the Han people.

"This is a premeditated assassination, General, please look at this bone spur."

Jia Xu handed the bone spur to Liu Fan.

"I don't see anything out of the ordinary." Liu Fan observed the bone spur for a while and shook his head.

This bone spur can be ground in just two hours.

"The general looks at the stem of the bone spur." Jia Xu reminded Liu Fan.

Liu Fan looked at the stem of the bone spur. I found that this handle was unusually smooth, as if it had been polished a thousand times in my hand.

"The Xianbei people here are not allowed to carry an inch of iron, and the company is brave, and it is difficult to kill them without weapons. The assassin practiced with bone spurs again and again, just to kill him with one blow when he met him. When he approached Helian, he did not strike immediately, he was afraid of failure. Therefore, the first priority is to win and connect trust. He knew his mission, and whether he succeeded or not, he would die. This is the spirit of a dead soldier only found by Han Chinese assassins. ”

Jia Xu analyzed to Liu Fan.

Assassins don't need much force, just a courage that isn't afraid of death.

It's like leaving the thorn and celebrating the taboo.

Who is Qingji? Ten thousand enemies who tear tigers and wolves.

Who are you leaving? He is only five feet tall and has one arm missing.

But it's time to leave it.

The first is that he has won the trust of Qingji, and the second is that he has the courage to treat death as home.

The Assassin's unhesitating suicide after his success shows that he had courage. Gaining Helian's trust before the assassination shows that he has the delicacy of the Han people in the Central Plains.

"Can the Right Army Division know who stumbled on me in the south, and who has this kind of vision?"

Liu Fan was suddenly surprised and immediately asked Jia Xu.

"A corpse, it's impossible to guess at all. The opponent's goal has been accomplished, and the assassin is dead. Jia Xu shook his head and said.

In the absence of proof of death, Jia Xu has no choice.

It is difficult to find out the origin of such unexpected things.

"General Yu, this person is not just the group of prisoners in Yuting, but the batch sent by General Xu Huang more than three months ago. But the people of the Bone tribe claimed not to know him. ”

Zhang Liao said to Liu Fan.

"The assassin must have been at that time, pretending to be Xianbei, and was caught by Gongming in Xia Hu. He's a man with a heart! This makes it harder to look for clues. ”

Jia Xu sighed lightly, with a little pity on his face.

"It can be seen that this person is proficient in Xianbei language, and it is likely that he is from the border county." Liu Fan opened his mouth and said.

"It doesn't matter anymore. More than three months ago, the people in the south were planning to make enemies for the general. The general is careful. ”

Jia Xu said solemnly to Liu Fan.
