Chapter 185: All the way to the west

As mentioned last time, the special forces and Sima Yi's family members mixed into the caravan, and the caravan planned to enter Shu through Zhangling. Let's not talk about the process of their escape, let's just say that the chaos in Xuchang City that night, due to the efficient arson behavior of the "CIA" and the people of Long Xingxing, as well as the paralysis of the Beijing garrison Zhijinwu, the city could not organize an effective firefighting force, and finally almost one-third of Xuchang City was set on fire and burned, and even the palace was almost affected.

The guards were responsible for the security of the palace, and at this moment of chaos in the city, Cao Pi did not dare to send them out to help quell the chaos in the city, but asked them to close the palace gates and stand by the palace walls, ready to deal with the possibility of thieves attacking the palace.

When the official force was missing, the fire in the city spread rapidly, and later the people spontaneously organized to put out the fire, and finally brought the fire under control, but in the process, some ruffians and hooligans also came out to take the opportunity to burn, kill, loot and make trouble, which made the chaotic situation in the city worse.

In the end, Cao Pi issued a holy decree, asked his close attendants to run to the military camp outside the city, and urgently transferred the troops stationed near the capital into the city to quell the chaos. Fortunately, after dawn, the "fire team" formed by the "CIA" and Long Xingxing stopped preventing fire and hid on the spot. The counterinsurgency forces only caught some ruffians and hooligans who took the opportunity to make trouble, but did not catch those who disappeared.

Finally, it was not until noon the next day that the riots and fires in the city gradually subsided. After this battle, Xuchangcheng can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and Guo Changsheng, the initiator, did not expect that it would be such a strict consequence, or in other words, such a brilliant record. If he knew that just a few hundred people would almost move Xuchang City to white ground, I really don't know how he would feel.

This is the characteristic of special operations, and often very few people can achieve unimaginable results. If this one came out when the Shu army was besieging the city, as long as an army took advantage of the chaos to break into the city, it would definitely be easy to conquer the capital. It's a pity that there are only thirty special forces this time, and their purpose is Sima Yi's family.

After they took away Sima Yi's family, the whole operation was declared over, and there was no follow-up action, which allowed Xuchang City and even Wei to escape.

I think it's a pity that it's the people of Shu and Liu Hou, and it's another thing for the Wei people and Cao Pi. At the beginning of this incident, Cao Pi was afraid, he was afraid that this kind of imminent turmoil would endanger his safety, he didn't know what was going on at first, in his opinion, the probability of an enemy attack in the capital at this time was much smaller than the probability of domestic anti-# forces causing chaos.

In particular, he and several brothers had a struggle for the throne, although in the end he won the victory, and his brother was exiled by him, but the forces supporting his brother still have not been cleaned up, if it is not impossible to say that they are playing tricks, and want to launch a coup d'état to help his brother regain the throne.

He was a little frightened of this situation, because he didn't know how many people in the court and how many people were against him. Especially when he learned that Zhijin Wu Zangba had been assassinated and died, this fear reached the extreme.

Zang Ba, who can put him in the critical position of ruling Jinwu, is of course the person he trusts very much, this position is too important, and it is related to the safety of the entire capital and even the palace. Although the palace is still guarded by guards and the southern army, its strength is far inferior to that of the northern army, and the security of the capital is still mainly guarded by the Jinwu and the northern army.

In other words, in the event of a foreign invasion, the Zhijinwu and the Northern Army were the first and most important barrier to Cao Pi's security, while the Weiwei and the Southern Army were the last reliance. Now that the first and most important barrier has collapsed, how can Cao Pi not feel fear.

Thankfully, the fear didn't last long, and after dawn, the results of the investigation came back one after another. There are all kinds of indications that last night's fire and riot in the city were not a coup d'état in China, but a ghost carried out by Shu.

This is easy to guess from the crossbows and firearms used by the special forces, which are unique weapons to Shu. Some people may ask, can't someone deliberately find a way to get a batch of these weapons of Shu in order to mislead the investigators?

The answer is: hard. Because Shu has always kept these weapons highly secretive, the management is also very strict, for example, each horse crossbow has a number, and the whereabouts of each horse crossbow are registered in the register, there are traces to follow, in the Shu army, these special weapons are usually collected and kept in a unified manner, and they need to be taken out after certain procedures before they need to be trained or on a mission, and they need to be returned immediately after use.

If it is damaged during the battle, the wreckage must also be returned. If it is lost due to the sacrifice of the soldiers, the comrades in the same team must think of finding it back, if they can't find it, the captain needs to write a report detailing the situation, and this report must be signed by his superiors.

Therefore, when the special forces go out on a mission, if there are comrades sacrificed, the first thing to snatch back is the corpse of the sacrificed comrade-in-arms, and the second thing is to snatch back some of the special operations equipment on his body to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy.

If it is lost without reason, the relevant responsible person will be punished, and even their superiors will be disciplined or criticized. The same goes for the management of the left # wheel # hand # gun. Under such a strict management system, there has not been a single incident of missing a horse crossbow or a left#wheel#hand#gun.

As for Thunderbolt, although the management is not so strict, it is not something that can be obtained casually. Although there are many Shu armies, Wei's rivals, and there is also a small amount of production within Wei, but they are all in the hands of Cao Pi, and it is unlikely that his domestic political enemies will get it. To sum up, it is easy to conclude that this incident was committed by a spy of the Shu Kingdom.

Later, the subordinates in Sima Yi's mansion reported what happened in Sima Yi's mansion to Jing Zhaoyin, and Jing Zhaoyin knew that this matter was not trivial, so he immediately entered the palace to report the matter to the emperor.

Upon learning of these circumstances, Cao Pi turned from fear to rage, and at the same time was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, because they had not only lost a third of the capital, but also lost the family members who could threaten Sima Yi.

Sima Yi led 200,000 troops to fight abroad, once the enemy country rebelled, the consequences would be unimaginable, I am afraid that in this way, the Wei State is not far from destroying the country.

In a fit of rage, Cao Pi immediately ordered the whole city to search for spies, and ordered the troops to pursue the fleeing special forces and Sima Yi's family.

It's a pity that it's too late, the "arson team" has long been hidden, they have a legitimate job in the city, as long as they are themselves, there will be no flaws in their normal work and life, so even if the Wei soldiers go door-to-door to search, they can't find suspicious characters.

However, many ruffians and hooligans who took the opportunity to come out to make trouble fell into bad luck and were arrested and executed, so that in the future, the security of Xuchang City will be much better.

And the troops who went to hunt down the special forces and Sima Yi's family also found nothing. The information provided by the guards quickly determined that the suspect had left the city through the south gate, so they rode out of the city on horseback and tracked it all the way.

Soon they chased them to the town where the special forces and Sima Yi's family had mixed into the caravan. They inquired that the characteristic convoy they had been following all the way was going west, so they chased it all the way west.
