I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 127 Assassinate Cheng Yu
Before Hulao Pass, Lu Bu and Jia Xu received Li Shimin's letter from Feige. They understood that the situation was extremely urgent, and Lu Bu immediately prepared to gather troops to lead the army to attack Hulao Pass.

In his opinion, persuading Zhang Yang to surrender in a short period of time, it is impossible to take Luoyang, it is better to lead a strong attack, relying on the sharpness of the siege weapon, maybe you can take the Hangu Pass first, and then capture Luoyang, wouldn't it be safe.

Jia Xu was also caught off guard by this sudden change. Originally, he thought Luoyang was a sure thing, but it turned out that Hua Tuo and Cai Yong, who was implicated behind him, made him feel a little tricky.

Of course, this plan will never keep up with the changes. If everything goes as I predicted, then God is not human.

Jia Xu naturally understood Li Shimin's intention to rescue Cai Yong, which was related to Li Shimin's control of the court, Li Shimin's reputation among the ministers of Qingliu, and even more related to the contribution of scholars in the future.

Cai Yong can be said to play a pivotal role.

Jia Xu, on the other hand, seemed to be distracted, thinking about countermeasures in his heart.Didn't hear Lu Bu's arrangement at all.

Just as Lu Bu was about to stand up and go to battle, Jia Xu suddenly came back to his senses and said firmly, "Fengxian, I am going to let him try again. If it doesn't work, you will lead the army to attack the city tomorrow. I will never stop."

"What? You have to make this general wait for a day? Didn't my lord say that it is impossible to win Luoyang in a short period of time, and that it is better to snatch Hua Tuo? If the opportunity is missed, neither you nor I can explain to the lord." Lu Bu was obviously a little angry talking.

"Fengxian, I have confidence in him, and I'm just waiting for the last day. If it doesn't work, the army will attack the city at noon tomorrow." Jia Xu insisted.

Out of his trust in Jia Xu and the huge temptation of taking Luoyang, Lu Bu agreed, determined to wait for a day.

But he has already ordered the whole army to prepare, to prepare all the siege equipment, and the soldiers are on standby, waiting for orders at any time.

…………

In Luoyang City, Jia Xu's secret envoy received his letter, which only said one thing, that is, there is only one day left for him, let him seize this last chance, otherwise if the army attacks the city tomorrow, it will be Endless situation.

This made the emissary feel a mountain of pressure. This was his last chance to survive. If he made such a great contribution, maybe he would not have to live in darkness anymore, and could regain his new life and freedom.

"Master Zhang Yi, is there any latest information from Zhang Yang's side recently?" the emissary asked thoughtfully.

"Sir, we have just received the news. We have been very curious about why Yang Chou suddenly became ambiguous and waited and watched, and why Zhang Yang sent troops to help Hangu Pass. The reason for all this is that Cao Cao sent his confidant Cheng Yu to lobby Zhang Yang, saying Why did the emperor issue a secret edict ordering the people of the world to attack Li Shimin, and also said that Cao Cao would send troops to support him." Zhang Yi said with some concern.

"Oh, it turned out that it was Cao A's trick, and there was actually a shadow of the emperor behind him, and he immediately sent a letter to the general. I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as you and I thought." The secret envoy said thoughtfully.

He walked around the house several times in a row, his brain running fast, thinking about countermeasures.

Suddenly he turned around abruptly, and laughed loudly, "Haha, a god-given opportunity, this time I will let Cao Cao steal everything." The emissary said with a maniacal smile.

Zhang Yi asked without knowing why, "Sir, what kind of a god-given opportunity? Could it be that you already have a solution?"

The mysterious man didn't answer him, but asked instead: "Do you know the story of Dingyuanhou Banchao frightening Shanshan?"

Zhang Yi frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said excitedly: "Sir, I understand, I understand, what do you mean..."

Seeing that the secret envoy signaled him not to speak, he swallowed what he wanted to say abruptly.

"Zhang Yi, how many people are available in our army in Luoyang City? What's the strength?" the secret envoy asked.

"Sir, our army still has more than a thousand men in the city. They are all capable warriors who count as ten, and their combat power is good. However, we can only gather two to three hundred people in a short period of time." Zhang Yi said.

"Haha, that's enough, tell the brothers, we'll set fire to the post for him tonight." The emissary said with a ferocious smile.

Zhang Yi was originally a lieutenant colonel in the army, with a quick mind and good martial arts skills. He has been lurking in Luoyang, carrying out spies such as espionage and assassination. Naturally, he will take the lead in tonight's operation.

Zhang Yi and others sneaked into the post to spy on information during the day, and they had already figured out the location of Cheng Yu's room and the guards in the post.

A detailed attack and killing plan was drawn up, and Cheng Yu was expected to be doomed this time.

…………

Cheng Yu brought more than 100 elite guards to visit Zhang Yang this time.

But to be honest, the guards sent by Zhang Yang are actually just pretending, not elites.

When he wanted to come to Luoyang City, which was heavily defended, it was impossible for Li Shimin to send troops into the city, and Cheng Yu's safety was no problem.

The moon is hidden behind the dark clouds, and the bright moonlight is completely covered, leaving only a little bit of starlight dotting the night sky.

The city of Luoyang was even more pitch black, everything was silent, and a needle could be heard falling.

In the shadows around the corners of the posthouse, a group of masked men in black hid among them, rustling in the night and heading towards the target.

The location of the posthouse is on Xuanwu Street. At this time, there are only city patrol soldiers walking back and forth on the street.On the winding path in the neighborhood, a group of masked men in black were hurrying.

The leader was Zhang Yi, the commander of Baiqisi Luoyang, who smoothly touched the post where Cheng Yu was staying along the way, and everyone leaned against the wall, waiting for the commander's order.

Zhang Yi waved his fist, indicating that everyone can act.

Immediately, three or two soldiers set up a human ladder, and the masked man behind stepped on their bodies in two steps, stepped on them, exerted strength suddenly, jumped up, and flew into the courtyard.

In a short while, dozens of people invaded the courtyard, and quickly opened the gate of the posthouse, allowing the troops to enter.

Zhang Yi pulled out the horizontal knife from behind and led the crowd to kill in the predetermined direction.

Cheng Yu's guards in the courtyard finally discovered the abnormality, and shouted: "Bold! Who dares to break in..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was killed by a crossbow piercing his throat, and the noisy sound still alarmed the surrounding guards and Cheng Yu in the room.

Cheng Yu's guards quickly mobilized to fight the man in black. Cheng Yu also knew that the man in black was targeting him, so he planned to go as the best plan, and fled here immediately.

Hundreds of men in black cooperated skillfully, and the crossbowmen kept harvesting the lives of the enemies. Zhang Yi brandished a horizontal knife like a swift arrow and went straight towards Cheng Yu.
