Chapter 160: Assassination

It was the scorching summer season, Yuan Shu after several defeats, there was no food, so the remaining thirty hundred, distributed to the sergeant, the family did not have extra food, all starved to death, as Yuan Shu, he thought that he was still high, disgusted with the rough food, there was no way to eat, he thought that it was still in Huainan to dominate the day, so he ordered his subordinates to take some sugar water to drink, the people at the bottom were dissatisfied: "Where is the sugar water now, only blood water!" Yuan Shu was furious when he heard this, he was already sick, he sat on the bed and screamed, fell off the bed, fell to the ground, kept vomiting blood, and finally lost his breath.

The news of his death soon spread in the army, Yuan Jun was like a plate of loose sand, soon disbanded, his nephew Yuan Yin buried Yuan Shu, ready to abscond with Yuxi and his wife, was on the way to the Lujiang River, was killed by Xu Xuan blocking the road, seized the jade seal, and then went to Xu Du to offer the jade seal to Cao Cao, Cao Cao named Xu Xuan as the Gaoling Taishou.

Liu Bei saw that the other party did not move in Shouchun, and when he went to inquire again, he learned that Yuan Shu had died, so he wrote a table to the imperial court, presented the book to Cao Cao, and asked Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao to go back first, leaving the army and horses to surround Xuzhou and recover the surrounding cities.

Yuan Shu's defeat was already reasonable, Yu Yi because his suggestion was not adopted, so he never came out, when he learned that the eldest brother Liu Bei sent Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao away, he went to Liu Bei and said: "Are you a little anxious now, you haven't occupied Shouchun and other important cities, you are like this, Cao Cao's advisers will definitely doubt you." ”

Liu Bei said: "I am abiding by the order of the blood book and resisting the powerful minister Cao Cao, not to seek private gain." ”

Yu Yi shook his head and said, "There is no basis, how can a single city compete with Cao Cao, it is really naΓ―ve!" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that the two were about to quarrel again, so they hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them, saying, "Fourth brother, the eldest brother has a plan in his heart, don't fight against it!" ”

Yu Yi said: "What is called a plan, he is hitting a stone with an egg!" ”

Liu Bei didn't let it, and said: "I can't provide you with this place, you have such lofty ambitions, you can leave!" ”

This is the first time Liu Bei drove himself away, Yuyi understood and said: "Big brother only has the Han Dynasty in his heart, no brothers, I admire it!" After saying that, he arched his hand and left.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had no choice but to chase them out, and said, "Big brother, this is angry talk, don't take it to heart." ”

Yu Yi said: "Where is he angry, if it weren't for your face, I would have wanted to leave a long time ago!" After saying that, he pushed the two away, walked forward, walked halfway, and turned back and said: "I expect that after Cao Cao learns the news, he will definitely send someone to assassinate him, you must pay attention to safety." ”

The anger made Yu Yi dizzy, but he knew that he just had a different opinion from Liu Bei, and there was no big contradiction.

Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao went back to see Cao Cao and described the situation in Xuzhou, saying that Liu Bei left military horses to defend Xuzhou. Cao Cao was furious and wanted to kill the two.

Xun Yu said: "Liu Bei is the boss, and there is nothing the two can do." ”

Cao Cao thought that this was indeed the case, so he pardoned the two.

Xun Yu continued: "The current plan is to secretly write a secret letter to Che Zhou and let him take Liu Bei's life. ”

Cao Cao agreed, and immediately wrote a letter, sent someone to secretly find Che Zhou, and passed on Cao Cao's will, and Che Zhou immediately found Chen Deng to discuss the next step.

Chen Deng said: "This matter is too easy, now Liu Bei is just going out of the city to appease the people, and he will come back in a few days, the general can let the sergeant ambush in the urn city, pretend to welcome Liu Bei, and then wait for him to be nearby, immediately kill him, I will lead the archers in the city to shoot his rear, then the big thing can be done." ”

So Chen Deng went to see his father and said such a plan, and ordered Chen Deng to tell Liu Bei first, so as to leave enough assassination opportunities in the city, Chen Deng rode to find Liu Bei.

In Xuzhou, a conspiracy was brewing, as Yuyi's intelligence agency, he had already told Yuyi the news of the secret meeting of the car, so the secret envoy was kidnapped on the way back and arrived at a hut, and Yuyi was sitting in the hut.

Yuyi looked at the man and said, "Say, you came to find Che Xuan, is there something important about the prime minister." ”

The man looked at the rain and did not make a sound.

Yu Yi continued: "If you don't say it, I know, you are here to tell Che Xuan and let him kill my eldest brother secretly." ”

The man's expression was obviously surprised, Yu Yi noticed this, and continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, but your sacrifice is worthless, and you may have some hardships to endure before you die." ”

After Yuyi finished speaking, he asked the person below to take a red-hot iron and prepare to burn it underneath the person.

The man originally had some backbone, but he was quickly destroyed by the burning iron, and cried: "I only know that Che Zhou went to find Lord Chen Deng, and I don't know the rest!" ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, because after you know, there is no way to tell the prime minister anymore!" After saying that, Yuyi opened the door and left, leaving the sound of a knife chopping.

Yuyi marched in the direction of the city gate, and on the road he had already heard some soldiers discussing, and he found one at random, and obtained the whole plan, so he quickly went out of the city, found Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and told them about the situation.

Zhang Fei was very angry after hearing this, and he was about to fight. Guan Yu persuaded and said: "They ambushed us in Wengcheng, so that they will definitely be ambushed in the past, and I have a plan to kill Che Guan." We can pretend to be Cao Jun, go to Xuzhou late at night, and then wait until the chariots are out of the city, and then run and kill them. ”

After hearing this, Yu Yi felt that this plan was good, and said: "I can't see it, my second brother is really thoughtful, I think in order not to arouse suspicion, I have to sneak back." ”

So Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's troops were changed to Cao Cao's banner, and their clothes were also Cao Jun's, and at the third watch, they went to the edge of the city to call the door.

When asked by the city, Guan Yu replied that it was sent by Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and it was Zhang Liao's men and horses who came to help Che Xuan.

Che Xuan couldn't figure out the situation, and saw that the city was dressed as Cao Jun, so he came to Chen Deng to discuss, and said: "If you don't go to greet you, I'm afraid that it's really Zhang Liao's team, and if you go out to greet you, I'm afraid it's Liu Bei's plan!" ”

At this time, Yu Yi had just returned to his residence, and soon he felt the sound of footsteps on the roof, he knew that this should be Chen Deng's plan, and wanted to assassinate him, so he held the flying knife tightly in his hand.

Soon a group of people came, holding blades in their hands, Yuyi pretended not to know anything, and said angrily: "What are you doing here? ”

The leader replied, "We have been commanded to kill you!" ”
