Baishui Pass in Yizhou, which is the main battlefield of the battle between the Yizhou army and the Hanzhong army.

The imperial commander of the Sui Dynasty, the ambitious Yang Su, wanted to capture Baishui Pass and open the way to Hanzhong.

It was Liu An, the Inhuman prince, who defended Baishui Pass, and he was also the player lord who cooperated with Yizhou Mu Liu Yan at the beginning, and he has always been the sworn enemy of Hanzhong Lingdao.

The two have been fighting each other for many years, but Liu Bei and Yang Su entered Yizhou, grabbed the dominance, and seized Liu An's territory.

Liu An was furious, and turned to cooperate with his sworn enemy Zhang Dao, stubbornly guarding Baishui, blocking the dangerous passage between Chengdu and Hanzhong, and disgusting Liu Bei and Yang Su.

There were not many roads to attack Hanzhong, and it was possible to attack from Baishui Pass and Ba County, relatively speaking, the Yizhou army tended to take Baishui Pass because it was relatively easy to replenish.

Because Liu An was stubbornly defending Baishui Pass, coupled with the treacherous terrain of Shudi, Yang Su would not be able to quickly capture Baishui Pass for a while and a half, and was stopped by Baishui Pass for 47 days, unable to advance half a step.

"Liu An is my confidant and must be removed."

In Yang Su's military tent, Yang Su invited an inhuman player.

For the sake of their own interests, players are often active in the competition for hegemony among the princes, seeking benefits, whether for status or for gold and silver.

This player has been dealing with Yang Su for several years, and the two sides have cooperated.

Initially, the player's allegiance was to Cao Cao, and later he was bought off by Yang Su's lord, Zhao Long.

After Zhao Long was killed, this person has been following Yang Su, and Yang Su gave him the status and gold and silver he wanted.

He was summoned by Yang Su and immediately guessed Yang Su's intentions.

"You want me to send someone to assassinate Liu An? That's a lot of money. ”

The player made a gesture to Yang Su asking for gold and silver.

Yang Su already has an understanding of the player's greed: "In the past three years, I have rewarded you with no less than three thousand taels of silver every year, which is not a small amount. ”

"I have a few assassins to support, they are the best assassins in the world, even if they are at the level of princes, they can be assassinated smoothly. At the beginning, Cao Cao and Zhao Long used the hands of assassins to achieve their goals. If you want to assassinate Liu An, you must have 1,500 taels of gold. If the Assassin was accidentally killed, an additional thousand thousand and five hundred taels would be required. ”

"In other words, a total of three thousand taels of gold are needed......"

Yang Su's eyes were a little fierce.

The player's bid was high, but this person did recruit a group of Assassins, including NPCs and freelancers.

Cao Cao and Zhao Long both used this group of assassins to work for themselves.

This player said: "Even if it costs three thousand taels of gold to kill Liu An, it is quite valuable to capture Baishui Pass while the defenders are leaderless, why should you hesitate?" What's more, the top assassins focused on chivalry, not gold and silver. It took me a lot of time to get them to owe me a favor. It took me five years to find a way to build a friendship with one of the top Assassins. So three thousand taels of gold, not a lot at all. ”

"That's it, then three thousand taels of gold. If the assassination is successful, there will be no less than one or two. ”

In order to open the passage to Hanzhong as soon as possible, Yang Su has become crazy, even unscrupulous.

The siege of Baishui Pass by Yang Su's army ended, and 200,000 troops left Baishui Pass one after another.

The defenders of Baishui Pass were originally ready to fight Yang Su's army to the death, but Yang Su's sudden withdrawal of troops made the defenders of Baishui Pass breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate the retreat of the enemy army.

"It seems that Yang Su saw that Baishui Pass could not be attacked for a long time, and he lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so he retreated. If it weren't for Liu Bei and Yang Su fleeing to Yizhou and occupying the magpie's nest, I would have replaced Liu Yan and become the lord of Yizhou, I am really unwilling! ”

Liu An thought of the status of Yizhou Mu at his fingertips, which was snatched away by Liu Bei and Yang Su, and he still gritted his teeth.

Baishui Pass was not easy to attack, and Yang Su led his troops to retreat, which was taken for granted in Liu An's opinion.

When Yang Su retreated to 200 miles away, there was a tendency to return to Zitong, and the defenders of Baishui Pass were even more relaxed, thinking that Yang Su had completely given up attacking Baishui Pass, and suddenly relaxed.

The gates of Baishui Pass were opened, and grain and grass were transported from the surrounding villages and towns to enter the gate for supplies.

And at this time, there is a mixture of fish and dragons.

"I heard that Liu Bei personally drove the expedition and crusaded against the Southern Barbarians, and suffered a lot of losses in the mountains and forests. Yang is known as Han Baohu, Hu Luguang, Gao Su and others, who are brave and good at fighting. If it weren't for the fact that Baishui Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, maybe it would have been captured by Yang Su a long time ago. It is a wise choice for Yang Su to withdraw from the army now, otherwise, he will definitely let his head bleed. ”

Liu An led a group of generals to inspect the city defense of Baishui Pass and have the broken city walls repaired.

Outside Baishui Pass, Yang Su had people burn siege equipment, and a piece of ruins made the defenders of Baishui Pass convinced that Yang Su had withdrawn.

"King Xia heard that I was resisting Yang Su at Baishui Pass and delaying Yang Su's troops, and he praised us. After King Xia pacifies Liaodong, he will receive me. In the future, I will take refuge in King Xia, and we will have the opportunity to be crowned marquis. ”

As an inconspicuous prince of Yizhou, Liu An is not as popular as Zhang Dao, and even less than Mu Ke in the Nanban region, but he is also the target of Chutian's wooing, and he has the opportunity to be a marquis.

Liu An's generals learned that their lord planned to rely on the most powerful Xia King, and that he would be the Xia King's generals in the future, and the future was bright, so their morale was greatly boosted and they were more motivated to defend Baishui Pass.

Hundreds of wheelbarrows transported grain and grass to Baishuiguan to make up for the previous losses.

Suddenly, a wheelbarrow toppled near Liu An, causing a small riot.

"Grain and grass is a major matter for soldiers, you go to help and quickly transport grain and grass to the granary."

Liu Anling stepped forward left and right to help.

Suddenly, the sword was unsheathed, and the man transporting the grain had a calm expression, strode into a meteor, and killed Liu An!

"Help!"

At the sight of the murderous opportunity, Liu An's personal soldiers turned pale and became a mess!

No one could have imagined that after it was almost clear that Yang Su had withdrawn his troops for two hundred miles, there would be a professional assassin who would make a move, intending to settle the situation with one sword!

Liu An has a group of pro-soldiers around him, and they are either high-level soldiers or generals!

The personal soldiers who approached Liu An hurriedly drew their swords, wanting to stop the assassin who suddenly attacked!

The cold light swipes, and the assassin's attack moves are deadly, almost all of them are one-move killing, with the ambition of going and no return, go straight to Liu An!

One by one, their own soldiers were killed by the sword, and as many as thirteen fell under the sword of the assassin!

"Rest hurting my lord!"

A diamond-level general strikes a shot to try to stop the assassin!

When the assassins attacked, the position of this diamond-level general had been taken into account!

Slash at the Assassin's sword and knock it away!

At this time, the assassin abandoned the long sword, and in a flash of light, he smashed Liu An's throat with the scabbard and assassinated him!

A top-notch assassin, even with a scabbard, can be used as a weapon to kill!

The second sword of the diamond-level general came immediately, and the assassin wanted to dodge, but in order to kill Liu An, it was too late, and he was slashed by the diamond-level general!

"Kill him!"

Liu An's own soldiers surrounded the assassins!

The assassin was a slender figure, barely over five feet, holding the last remaining scabbard, and looked indifferently at the hundreds of soldiers who had only reacted at this time, as well as the black and overwhelming defenders of Baishui Pass.

Surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, even the world's first-class assassins could not escape.

Small-scale sneak attacks, the top assassins bleed five steps, almost invincible, but head-on with the army on the battlefield, but unable to compete with the army on the battlefield.

An army of arrows or spears would surprise you, and any Assassin would die.

"You killed my lord, and you must fight with your life!"

Liu An usually treats his generals quite well, but when Liu An was suddenly killed by an assassin, this group of generals became angry!

"I want to kill Liu An, not for Juelu, but to repay my kindness. The wish has been granted. ”

The Assassin sheathed his sword and fought his way into the army.

Although 10,000 people, without hesitation.

A dense forest of guns stabbed the assassins!

One man, with only the scabbard of his sword, killed twenty-seven people.

In the midst of the formation, the Assassin's force seemed to be suppressed and unable to be fully utilized, and he was severely wounded, and the spear left a bloody hole in his body.

Eventually, the Assassin, who claimed to be leaving, snatched a soldier's sword and killed himself.

Thousands of eyes were focused on this assassin, and he promised to assassinate Liu An, without thinking that he could leave alive.

To leave the pool of blood, the white water pass is in chaos.

As for who they were leaving, the defenders of Baishui Pass did not care.

The lord of Baishui Pass was assassinated, and the dragons of Baishui Pass were leaderless.

"Yang Su's cavalry is here again!"

Before the defenders of Baishui Pass had time to deal with the chaos after Liu An's assassination, the enemy's cavalry was once again under the city!

The cavalry general Han captured the tiger, led the cavalry day and night, ran for a long distance, and killed a horse gun!

The chaos of Whitewater Pass turned to fear.

"Yang Su, it must be an assassin sent by Yang Su who assassinated our lord!"

By now, the defenders of Baishui Pass have understood that this assassin was sent by Yang Su, and Yang Su's withdrawal of troops is an out-and-out trap!

Baishui was closed, and the assassin who sent the assassin to leave the player who assassinated Liu An couldn't help but feel sorry for the damaged assassin.

He was a famous assassin in the Spring and Autumn Period, and some people were about to leave the ranks of the four great assassins.

The real assassins go to assassinate the princes, and basically there is no return, because whether the princes live or die, the anger of their generals will be vented on the assassins.

Yang Su saw that the assassin was so easy to use, so he said to this player: "I didn't expect to take Liu An's life so easily. I don't know if I can assassinate King Xia and take King Xia's life? King Xia is now in the limelight, and sooner or later he will be his enemy. ”

The player who recruited the assassin shook his head: "In order to assassinate Liu An, a legendary assassin has been sacrificed. The guards around King Xia are not at the same level as Liu An's guards. It is reported that King Xia always has the fierce general Dian Wei as a personal guard by his side, and I am afraid that even a legendary assassin is difficult to get close to him, and it is difficult to succeed in assassination. Besides, how could legendary assassins be so easy to recruit? All I have left is the favor of a legendary assassin. ”

There is another reason why this player did not say it explicitly.

He took advantage of the legendary assassin's character of being kind and retributive, and ordered him to assassinate Liu An, but he did not dare to assassinate Chu Tian.

Assassinating Liu An, Liu An's subordinates may not be able to retaliate against him, because Liu An is no longer a powerful prince, unable to fight back, and is currently just a prince at the bottom, and the tree is scattered.

And Chutian is different, Chutian is the strongest prince, not to mention that the assassin's assassination of Chutian has a pitiful success rate, no matter whether he assassinates Chutian, succeeds or fails, he will be frantically retaliated by Chutian's forces.

Players are greedy for gold and silver, but it doesn't mean they don't want to die.

It's okay to assassinate the small princes, but it's good to assassinate the big princes.

Therefore, it is rare for a great prince to be assassinated.
