On the day Zhao Xing arrived in Crouching Tiger, he ordered the counties under the rule of the Jin State, the Liang State and Youzhou to do a good job in the shelter, protection and rescue of the merchants who fled from various places in a timely manner, pay close attention to the public opinion in the county, and prevent the occurrence of all kinds of sabotage and harassment.

The Wudu County of Liangguo is close to Hanzhong of Yizhou in the east, Guanghan County and Guanghan subject country of Yizhou in the south, and the Wolf Qiang people in the west, and the northeast corner is also connected with the right Fufeng in the Sili area.

As Zhao Xing's loyal subordinate, Wudu Taishou Zhao Hu's fate has changed dramatically since he met Guan Yu. For so many years, Zhao Hu has fought with a knife and a gun in the army, and he has also come and gone invisibly in Operation Shadow, and finally turned into the supreme commander of a county.

The legendary life experience has created Zhao Hu's unique courage and means, since he went to the post of Wudu Taishou, he has made up his mind to manage Wudu into a strong fortress for Liangguo to enter Yizhou in the future, so he has been particularly careful in strengthening defense construction.

According to the deployment of the vanguard army, the 5,000 elites of the 2nd Heavy Infantry Division were stationed near Fuxian in Wudu, which was only more than 100 miles away from Nanzheng, the seat of Hanzhong County.

Han Wei, the commander of the Second Heavy Infantry Division, is also a veteran in the army, and according to the Protector Army's placement practice of middle-level and above generals, in a few years, he may be appointed as the Taishou of a county in the hinterland of the Jin State like Cheng Lian, and live a relatively quiet and peaceful life. But before quitting the army, Han Wei didn't have the slightest idea of relaxing, as long as he was still wearing a military uniform for a day, he had to be responsible for the safety of his five thousand soldiers and even the safety of Wudu.

Because they are both born in the army and are both people who know the soldiers, Zhao Hu and Han Wei cooperate very tacitly, and there is no such thing as chirping crookedly in order to compete for power or interests. Both of them were well aware of the danger and importance of Wudu County in terms of geographical location, so they devoted a lot of energy to how to maintain internal stability and guard against other forces, and achieved fruitful results.

However, the situation could not always be in the hands of Zhao Hu and Han Wei, especially since among their opponents there was a demonic existence like Sima Yi.

When Sima Yi rushed to Xiangyang to meet Zhuge Liang, he had put forward many insidious and vicious schemes, which was not just something he just said. After the news of the great changes in the Western Liang army reached Hanzhong, Sima Yi was very keenly aware that this was a sign that the imperial court was beginning to act against the Jin State, so he immediately urgently revised a letter to Shuzhong's father and brother, analyzed the current situation, and strongly suggested that Yizhou should preemptively start using troops against the Liang State.

In the spare time waiting for Shuzhong's reply, Sima Yi was not idle, he had already started some secret actions.

One day, an ordinary caravan set out from Nanzheng, Hanzhong, and headed north along the Baosxie Road, heading in the direction of Chang'an, the western capital. After several days of travel, the caravan arrived at Taiyi Mountain (now Taibai Mountain in the Qinling Mountains), then quietly turned westward, and infiltrated the area of Sanguan in Gudao County in the northeast corner of Wudu County under the cover of hills and dense forests, and then the caravan was disbanded, and the team of nearly 100 people disappeared.

After a few days, some men in different costumes entered the city under the rule of Wudu County from different directions, and outsiders did not seem to have anything unusual at all.

Although the situation in the counties of Liangguo has become a little tense because of the sudden salt ban movement from the imperial court, the people in the county still often go in and out of Xiabiancheng to buy some goods and materials. In Zhao Xing's words, that is, despite the ban on foreign trade export channels, Jin's domestic demand is still very strong.

Therefore, when a group of professional killers disguised as various identities entered Xiabian City in batches, not only were the officers and soldiers of the Heavy Infantry Division guarding the city gate difficult to detect, but even the shadow team members who were lurking in the city were difficult to suspect them completely for a while.

This group of killers who turned from Taiyi Mountain to infiltrate Wudu were naturally sent by Sima Yi. The first task they need to carry out this time is to assassinate Zhao Hu, the Taishou of Wudu, and if they succeed, they can also try to solve Han Wei, the commander of the Heavy Step Division.

The leader in charge of this operation was named Zhang Yi - that was Zhang Yi, the Shu man who had eaten "prison food" in the Jin Kingdom for more than half a year after being captured by Xu Shu.

The reason why Sima Yi sent Zhang Yi to carry out this assassination mission was that he attached great importance to the outcome of this mission, and second, he gave Zhang Yi a chance to be ashamed. Of course, from a dark point of view, this is not Sima Yi's move to take the opportunity to buy people's hearts.

Zhang Yi was very grateful to Sima Yi for being able to delegate his mission. Although it was not his own fault that he was defeated and captured at the beginning, after all, he was really a prisoner once, and was imprisoned by Zhao Xing in Crouching Tiger for more than half a year.

Sima Yi gave him this opportunity, so Zhang Yi was grateful to Sima Yi.

Because he had infiltrated Chang'an a few years ago to "steal people" (kidnap the five princes), and went north to fight in the state, Zhang Yi had a deep understanding of the Jin army, and when he sneaked all the way, he set a careful assassination plan for the greeting of military background.

The riot in Yuyang City is now known to the whole world, and Zhang Yi plans to repeat his old tricks this time, but this is only the surface of his entire plan. According to Zhang Yi's analysis of Zhao Hu, once a situation similar to the Yuyang riot occurs in the city, Zhao Hu will definitely personally bring people to arrest the murderer who caused chaos, and the chaos is the best time to assassinate Zhao Hu.

Zhang Yi's plan was not complicated, but it was very practical, although it was just a fried cold rice that others had eaten, but the situation in the city was very different from that of Yuyang City at that time. There were only 1,000 garrisons in Xiaban City, and the remaining 4,000 heavy infantry were stationed in a fortress outside the city, while Yuyang had 30,000 garrisons at that time; there were only two indecent generals in Xiaban City, Zhao Hu and Han Wei, and Yuyang had many ruthless characters such as Zhao Xing, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, and Dian Wei. In this comparison, it can be seen that Zhang Yi's plan has a high probability of success.

Late on the night of the third day when Zhang Yi and his people infiltrated the city, a long-planned assassination operation was in full swing.

First, a number of houses in different directions in the city caught fire, and then it was discovered that individual murderers actually intended to attack the Taishou Mansion, the situation was so critical, as the head of a county, Zhao Hu bounced off the bed like an electric shock as soon as he heard the warning signal, and rushed out of the backyard like a gust of wind......
