Chapter 184: Escape
Last time, the old lady of Sima Mansion agreed to go with the special forces. In fact, they can't help but disagree, now they are surrounded by special forces, once they don't agree, there is only a dead end waiting for them. The shape shì is stronger than the people, and they have to give in under the threat of the powerful force of the special forces.
Sima Yi's family followed the special forces to the entrance of the alley, where several carriages were already waiting for them. The people who drove the carriage were all "CIA" people and were absolutely reliable. The special forces and Sima Yi's family members all got into the carriage, and those family guards also wanted to follow the car, but they were stopped by the special forces.
If you want to escape from Xuchang City and Wei State, of course, the fewer people you will bring, the better, and these Ding Nursing Homes will definitely become a burden, so they were decisively abandoned by the special forces.
As for killing them, the special forces felt that there was no need for this, and now that there was such a big movement in the city, people with a heart could find out that these things were done by the people of Shu as long as they investigated a little.
In particular, this operation used horse crossbows and firearms, and the movement was particularly large, and these things were unique to Shu, and they couldn't hide it if they wanted to.
The carriage went all the way to the south gate, but it was now the middle of the night, it was not easy to get out of the city at this time, no matter which city in ancient times, at night, the city gate was closed, and it was impossible to open the city gate for people to enter and exit without the tokens of relevant officials or generals.
But the special forces just have this token, which is another purpose to assassinate Zang Ba. After the ten special forces assassinated Zang Ba, they didn't do anything else, but only touched the token he pinned to his waist (this is the token for leaving the city, different from the token for entering the palace. )
Soon, the motorcade and the ten special forces met at the pre-agreed location. After the rendezvous, the special forces quickly changed into the clothes and armor of the Wei soldiers prepared in advance, dressed up as Zang Ba's personal soldiers, and then marched towards the south gate.
The process of going out of the city was unexpectedly smooth, and the waist card that Zang Ba carried on his body was the highest level of token, and seeing the token was like seeing Zang Ba in person, Zang Ba was the highest general in charge of the defense of the capital, and these soldiers guarding the door were naturally his subordinates. After seeing the token of the top boss, these gatekeepers didn't dare to ask more and let them out of the city.
Fortunately, the news of Zang Ba's death has not yet reached the city gate, and the special forces said that Zang Ba sent them out of the city to do business, and the guards at the gate believed it. Today's chaos in the city, obviously there is a big event, Zang Ba at this time to send people out of the city to send troops and generals, the only thing that is a little unreasonable is that the military camp is obviously in the direction of the east gate, why are these generals' personal soldiers going to the south gate?
The guards at the gate just thought it was a little strange, but with their intelligence, they couldn't think of anything wrong, maybe the general had something else to do with these soldiers. Their status is low, so naturally they don't dare to ask more about the purpose of these people holding the general's token to go out of the city.
The special forces escorted Sima Yi's family out of the city in this way, and all the carriages drove all the way south at full speed. The motorcade traveled fifty miles until dawn and reached a small village.
After arriving at this small village, the convoy stopped, and Sima Yi's family was mostly old, weak, women and children, who were in the carriage, after such a long time, so high-speed travel, all of them were tired, and they all got off the car and wanted to rest for a while.
Unfortunately, the special forces did not give them a chance to rest at all, and several caravans were already waiting for them in this village, and they would continue to set off with the caravan. The people of these caravans are actually fakes from Longxingxing and the "CIA", and it cannot be said that they are completely fake, Longxingxing originally had many caravans, and most of the people in these caravans are real caravan members, and they usually follow the caravanserais.
They did not know the details of this mission, but were told that a shipment of goods was to be transported to Shu, and they were asked to wait in this small village overnight, and they were about to leave as soon as the hour came.
In fact, what they are waiting for is not the hour, but the special forces and Sima Yi's family. At dawn, when the special forces and Sima Yi's family arrived in this small village, they immediately broke into pieces, and every two special forces were responsible for controlling one of Sima Yi's family members and blending into these caravans.
There are 30 special forces, and there are only a dozen family members, and there is still one family member for every two special forces. Two strong special forces are carrying an old and weak woman and children, these family members can't resist at all, the strongest one here is Sima Shi, who is just a fifteen-year-old boy who reads, and the special forces want to catch him as easily as an eagle catching a chicken.
Only the leader of the caravan and a handful of "CIA" personnel knew the true identities of the people who had infiltrated them, and the real purpose of their trip, and the others only treated them as ordinary "passengers".
In this era, the transportation was inconvenient, and there were many bandits, and most of the people who went out walked on two legs. It was slow and unsafe, so some people followed the caravans, and some caravans offered this service on purpose, and they bought more carriages for the travelers to ride, and charged a certain fee from them.
Take the caravan's carriage to go out of the house, because there is a carriage to travel, the speed is accelerated, people do not have to be so tired, the key is that safety is also guaranteed. So, many people would rather save some money from other places to pay the caravanserais, and they are willing to do so.
There is demand, there is supply, so there is such a special buying and selling relationship, which can actually be regarded as the ancient long-distance bus service, but this kind of long-distance bus does not have a fixed route, and will not depart at a fixed point, depending on the destination and departure time of the caravan.
Of course, caravans don't go on their own, unless it's a very large caravan, and they can afford to hire bodyguards from the dart bureau themselves. Generally, smaller caravans are grouped together and set off together, and each of them pays a little money to hire a dart master from a dart bureau to be a bodyguard, so that they can share the cost evenly and save costs.
The few caravans now concentrated in this village are ostensibly these forms of joint caravans, but in essence, most of them are caravans affiliated with Longxingxing, even if some are not from Longxingxing, but they are also other small caravans under the control of the Shu State.
Now there are a few "travelers" in each caravan, except for those who are in the know, they do not attract the attention of other people, after all, such things are too common, and almost every time they travel, they will encounter a few "travelers" who hitchhike like this.
The leaders of the caravans waited for the people to wait, and immediately ordered the caravan to depart, and their destination this time was Jingzhou. Jingzhou is the center of trade between the three countries, although the three countries are constantly at war, but normal business and trade exchanges are still allowed, and the smuggling of the people has never been broken.
According to the previous route, it was necessary to pass through Xiangyang to go south to Jingzhou, but now that Xiangyang was fighting, the caravan naturally had to make a detour. This time they planned to pass through Zhangling, which had previously been the territory of Wu, but after Liu Hou's army went north, they occupied a number of places, including a small part of the territory of the former Wu bordering Zhangling.
Since there were very few places occupied that originally belonged to the Wu State, it did not cause a great backlash from the Wu State. Last time, Ehuan entered Zhangling from these places, and now these caravans also plan to enter the Shu realm from here.
