After returning to the village, Yin Zhiping began to plan the assassination again.

Originally, King Jinlun and Xiao Xiangzi and others kept vigil continuously, and Yin Zhiping was unable to escape from the camp in order to avoid being entangled by these masters, so he temporarily gave up the assassination and prepared to carry out an operation to burn the grain and grass. But now that King Jinlun is dead, and the four Xiaoxiangzi have been transferred back to the Chinese army's big tent by Kublai Khan to protect his personal safety, this assassination operation can also continue.

However, although King Jinlun, the first master of the Mongolian camp, had been killed, Yin Zhiping was not blindly arrogant, thinking that no one in the Mongolian camp could stop him, and went straight to the Chinese army's tent to assassinate Kublai Khan. He didn't go to the commanders and commanders in the big tent of the Chinese army, and he still completed the training of an assassination operation according to the previous general arrangement.

There are still nine branches left, and the assassination of the remaining nine branches is not at all, but due to the careful planning and arrangement of the operation, there is no loss. The action plan before each assassination must be approved by Yin Zhiping before it can be implemented, and Yin Zhiping will check it, which also ensures that each plan is carefully arranged and as foolproof as possible. Even if the action fails, you must be able to have a backhand strain and retreat.

During the completion of the assassination training operation of the remaining nine branches, Yin Zhiping did not give up the operation of burning grain and grass that he had planned before. All of them went out to complete this operation. Not only did they burn the grain and grass, but they also annihilated most of the Mongol army that was escorting the grain and grass.

After the remaining nine branches had all completed an assassination training and all succeeded, Yin Zhiping began to let them act separately. To each his own thing.

He no longer supervises and guides the actions and plans of the remaining eleventh branches, the selection of goals, etc. It's about letting them do it. However, every action must be reported to him, and the action plan must be handed over to him for approval. Only if it is approved by him can it be executed. If it doesn't work, it will be rejected and redone.

After a month of trial work, things began to gradually get on the right track, and Yin Zhiping didn't have to do everything himself, but it was much easier. It is the New Year Branch Hall directly led by him, and he also handed over all the things such as selecting goals and formulating plans to Li Zhichang, the hall master of the New Year Branch, to do, and he rarely directly asked about the specific affairs below, and only needed to manage the hall masters of the twelve branches.

The operations of the Twelve Chapters were not limited to assassinations either. The destruction of baggage, the burning of grain and grass, and so on, were all actions that could cause damage to the Mongol army. And gradually began to have their own tendencies, some branches are good at sneak attacks and assassinations, some branches are good at spying on military intelligence, and some branches are good at burning grain and grass, etc., and they began to have their own different division of labor.

Yin Zhiping didn't deliberately divide so much at first, but this tendency began to appear in the branch hall below, and he also intended to promote guidance. Then the staff is redeployed and the people who are particularly good at it are transferred to a branch hall. Make them more proficient in their respective strengths.

The destruction of the Mongol army was no longer limited to the Mongol camp, but began to radiate to the periphery. At present, all kinds of materials in the Mongolian camp in front of Xiangyang are being transferred from the rear, and some branch halls go directly to the rear to wreak havoc.

Kublai Khan in response to the assassination. First, all the generals of the commander and above in the battalion were transferred to the big tent of the Chinese army at night for heavy protection, and then the centurion was scattered into the camp tent of ordinary soldiers for concealment, so that it was difficult for Yin Zhiping's later assassination to assassinate the generals from the centurion and above.

But the Mongol armies in the rear could not all follow Kublai Khan's example. And they just want to learn, and they don't have such a foundation on Kublai Khan's side. In the rear, there will be no more large battalions with hundreds of thousands of troops gathered like this. Tens of thousands, thousands or hundreds. Guarding all over the place, the camp tent is not as good as the Xiangyang camp here, and the Chinese army's big tent can also be easily changed. It also gave the branches scattered in the rear an opportunity to assassinate many generals in the Mongol army in the rear.

A series of sabotage operations such as assassination and burning of grain and grass entered the Xiangyang camp from the rear, which made Kublai Khan a little anxious. But there are no effective means of protection, and there are too few martial arts masters on his side. The Mongolian army's battlefield duel is a first-class elite, but it is a little difficult to deal with these high-ranking martial arts people. They don't confront you head-on, they secretly wreak havoc. It was difficult for them to find out about their high skills, and even if they found a few Mongolian soldiers, they were not their opponents at all.

Kublai Khan also knew what the problem was, that is, there were too few masters on their side. Knowing the problem of the road, he sent down an order, asking the Mongol armies everywhere to pay attention to recruiting the masters in their respective jurisdictions, and even let people go to the Mongolian mainland and the Western Regions in the rear to recruit masters. But for a while, it didn't work out for the time being. It is difficult for the Song people to recruit any decent masters, and although there are many strange people in the Western Regions, they are far away, even if they can be recruited, they can't catch up in a short time.

However, although Kublai Khan's series of sabotage actions on Yin Zhiping's side made Kublai Khan a little anxious, and even because of several large-scale actions to burn grain and grass, there was a shortage of grain and grass in the camp for a while, but it was not a big problem. If the general is assassinated, he can be redeployed or let the deputy generals below be on top, the grain and grass can be readjusted if they are burned, and the baggage can be rebuilt if they are destroyed.

Although these sabotage actions also had a lot of big and small impacts on the attack on Xiangyang, they could all be overcome. If Kublai Khan had withdrawn his troops in disgrace just because of these sabotage actions, it would have been a great sin instead of being fruitless.

If he retires because of these sabotage actions, even if he is not guilty of capital because of his status as a prince, he will be deprived of all power, and he can only be an empty prince. So, in any case, he will not be withdrawn because of this.

Yin Zhiping never expected that these sabotage actions alone would force the Mongols to retreat. If you want to rely on assassination to withdraw troops or change the general trend of the world, you have to assassinate a key and important person. If Jing Ke had successfully assassinated Qin Shi Huang back then, there would have been no later Qin Shi Huang's great cause of unifying the Six Kingdoms.

At present, the key figure in the general trend of Xiangyang is naturally Kublai Khan. Moreover, this person is not only the key person in the current attack on Xiangyang, but also the key figure in the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty later, if Kublai Khan can be assassinated, although it may not be able to change the overall situation, so that the Mongol and Song Dynasty change the situation, but it is also a great loss for the Mongol side. And maybe this later Yuan Shizu was stabbed to death, and there was no longer the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty. Even if the Southern Song Dynasty can't get out of the predicament because of this, maybe it will be able to breathe for a few more decades.

The assassination of Kublai Khan could not fundamentally solve the current situation of confrontation between Mongolia and Song, and the advantage of Mongolia over the Southern Song Dynasty. But the assassination of Kublai Khan can definitely solve the dilemma of hundreds of thousands of troops besieging Xiangyang at present. And this is also a big achievement for him personally.

Therefore, after everything began to get on the right track, Yin Zhiping also began to plan how to assassinate Kublai Khan. (To be continued......)
