Sima Yi and his father Sima Fang were indeed plotted by someone, if it weren't for the people who plotted against him to show mercy, it is estimated that Sima Fang would have become a stiff corpse at this time.

Naturally, it was the Zhao Hu team that infiltrated Chengdu to attack Sima Fang. The reason why Zhao Hu only seriously injured Sima Fang but didn't kill him was because he felt that Sima Fang, who was still in the air, was more beneficial to the situation in Wudu than Sima Fang, who had become a corpse.

Sima Fang has many sons, and now he is an adult, including the eldest son Sima Lang, the second son Sima Yi, the third son Sima Fu, and several sons who are about to become adults, such as Sima Kui, Sima Sui and Sima Jin. These sons did not dare to fight each other when Sima Fang was alive, and Sima Fang kicked his legs into the sky, obviously Sima Lang and Sima Yi would have the advantage, and the fight would not be too fierce, but if Sima Fang was not going to die, this situation was the most bizarre, which could make the brothers of the Sima family secretly calculate, but not tear their faces, just to provide Jia Xu and Tian Feng of Wudu with some opportunities to take advantage of.

It is said that although Zhao Hu only brought ten members of the Shadow Team to infiltrate Chengdu, their overall strength and action ability were obviously stronger than Zhang Yi, who had infiltrated Xiafen City with fifty people. Sometimes a lot of people is not necessarily a good thing, once someone is detected and followed by the spies of the Sima family in Chengdu, it will be a big thing.

Zhao Hu, as the former captain of the Shadow East China Operation, has footprints in many states and counties on both sides of the Yellow River, and his adaptability and anti-reconnaissance methods are extremely powerful.

Zhao Hu and his entourage, who came to Chengdu, did not rush to start, but pretended to wander around the market in the city carefully, showing a very interested expression in the goods produced in Yizhou. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Hu, one of the few people in the group, belongs to a typical Central Plains trader, not only good at calculation, but also well-informed, and it is difficult to be fooled.

Zhao Hu looked like he was looking for business opportunities in the bazaar, but in fact, he was chatting with different local merchants to understand the life rules and preferences of Yizhou Mu Sima Fang from the side, and collect useful information for the next step of assassination. After wandering around the markets in Chengdu for three days, Zhao Hu had already preliminarily figured out some of Sima Fang's habits and behavioral characteristics.

Sima Fang does not like luxury in life, pays attention to the name of the righteous and upright, has a typical scholar's frame, likes to talk with the celebrities of Yizhou, and will go to a quiet garden called "Qingbo Lake" in the city every once in a while to relax. The garden here is open to the people in the city on weekdays, but it will only be closed when Sima Fang visits the garden, because the garden area is very large, so thousands of guards will often be used to guard around.

Zhao Hu followed the tourists in the city to visit Qingbo Lake, carefully observed the topography of the garden, and found that the water and grass in the lake were abundant, and the lotus leaves and fields could hide their figures. Now that the time has reached the beginning of May, although the weather in Chengdu is not very hot, the water temperature is not low, even if it is lurking underwater for a long time, people will not freeze their bodies, and using rivers, lakes and seas to hide is a compulsory course for the shadow team. Zhao Hu then decided to set the time for the assassination when Sima Fang visited Qingbo Lake, and the method he adopted was to wait for the rabbit with the most uninnovative ideas.

It looks a little silly to wait for the rabbit, but if you have enough patience, sooner or later you will wait for Sima Fang, the old rabbit. The crux of the matter is how to escape safely under the search and arrest of nearly 1,000 guards after the assassination is successful.

Zhao Hu thought about it, and finally decided to take separate actions to cover the safe escape of the team members hiding underwater. The specific action plan he formulated was: after calculating when Sima Fang would go to Qingbo Lake, he sent two team members to dive into Qingbo Lake at dawn two days in advance. They will be scattered in two locations hidden on the shore of Qingbo Lake, east and west, armed with small short crossbows, waiting for Sima Fang's arrival.

The team members responsible for creating a chaotic scene on the shore, when they saw Sima Fang enter the garden for a period of time, immediately lit some gunpowder outside the guards in charge of guarding, attracting the attention of a large number of guards, at this time, the team members lurking under the lake immediately shot an arrow at Sima Fang, and then immediately dived into the distance.

As long as Sima Fang was shot by a crossbow arrow, he would gradually be poisoned and unconscious, and the effect of this toxin lasted for a long time, and ordinary doctors could not remove it at all, because the poison smeared on the arrow came from the hand of the divine doctor Hua Tuo.

In the whole process of operation, the most difficult thing to grasp is that the team members who are responsible for covering outside the garden wall and the team members lurking under the lake can cooperate with each other in time. The team member responsible for igniting the gunpowder could neither do it early nor late, and had to wait until Sima Fang happened to approach one of the two underwater lurking team members.

This problem was solved with the help of a piece of equipment and a means of communication for the Shadow Troopers. This equipment is a portable monocular, and this means of communication is the flag signal.

In order to ensure the success of the assassination, Zhao Hu personally selected a four-story inn close to the Qingbo Lake Garden, chartered a few rooms on the top floor of the inn, and stared at the road by the Qingbo Lake with the team members through monoculars every day.

According to the information obtained, Sima Fang usually went to Qingbo Lake to visit and relax after five to seven days, so when the dawn arrived five days after the last Sima Fang tour of the park, two team members wore special warm and waterproof clothing, carried special air conduction equipment for diving and small hand crossbows for stabbing, and took advantage of the lack of people to dive into the lotus leaves of Qingbo Lake.

In this operation, the equipment used by the team members, except for the monoculars that should not be seen by people, the rest were not brought with them. These equipment, including a batch of gunpowder, were all other Shadow Soldiers who had entered and exited Yizhou with the Jin caravan in recent years, and some special equipment was mixed in the goods, and then it has been hidden in some corners of Chengdu, which came in handy at a critical time.

According to the pre-agreed signal, several team members who were responsible for burying gunpowder and blowing up the garden wall also took action, and they also took advantage of the fact that the processed gunpowder was still under the stone foundation of the garden wall, and then pulled out a fuse that was not suitable for anyone to detect. When they saw a certain color of silk hanging from the window of a guest room on the fourth floor of the restaurant in the distance, they would light the gunpowder at the same time, and then quickly withdraw while the fuse was burning.

Once the gunpowder is detonated, it will produce a loud vibration and sound, which will soon reach the ears of the team members in charge of assassination under the surface of the lake, and then they will surface their heads and scout to the shore with lotus leaves. Whether it is the east or west side of the lake, as long as they see Sima Fang, they will immediately move and shoot a silent arrow from between the lotus leaves......
