Yang Anxuan wore a green cloth robe on the outside but black shark armor on the inside. There were hundreds of assassins hidden in the mountain. How could he dare to be careless?
Both sides of the mountain road have been cleared, and soldiers are stationed not far away. More than a dozen personal guards were still protecting Yang Anxuan, Mao Xiuzhi and others in the middle. Yu Fei was even more focused, fearing that a cold arrow would be shot from somewhere.
Arriving at the Eight Immortals Terrace, Yang Anxuan and Mao Xiuzhi took the stage. They invited representatives of the noble clans and elders in Linqiu City to sit down on the stage and set up a banquet.
There were assassins disguised as restaurant waiters, but they were stopped by soldiers in the audience, preventing them from getting close to the stage.
Yang Anxuan knew in his heart that there was an assassin among these people. He raised his glass and stood up and smiled at the people in the audience: "Thank you all for coming. I would like to offer you a glass of wine to express my gratitude."
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses. Ding Yi stood on the back left side of Yang Anxuan, looking at Yang Anxuan's figure, suppressing his murderous intention. He was waiting for the sound of killing in the mountain to distract the attention of the guards around the platform, and it would be best to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
As soon as the wine was in the mouth, the sound of killing began, and the sound of the collision of weapons echoed in the empty mountains.
Everyone was panicked, and Yang Anxuan said loudly: "Don't panic, gentlemen. Yu has already made arrangements. Please sit quietly and wait. I guarantee that nothing will happen to you."
Seeing that the guards around the wooden platform were standing still, Ding Ao reached out and pushed the killer disguised as a scribe in front of him. The man understood, jumped up with a scream, and shouted: "If you want to go down the mountain, let me go down." "
The crowd immediately became restless, and many people stood up and wanted to run down the mountain. The killer who had sneaked in took out a short blade from his arms and swung it at the people around him. Immediately, blood burst out, and the platform became a mess.
Yang Anxuan stood still and shouted: "Get rid of the assassin."
man of. "
The guards beside the stage immediately rushed toward the man wielding the knife. Ding Ao saw that the guards under the stage were sparse and ran towards the wooden platform with large strides.
Yang Anxuan sensed it immediately, turned around to face Ding Hao, and laughed loudly: "Ding Hao, Ding Duhu, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Come on stage to fight."
Mao Xiuzhi led everyone off the stage in a hurry from the other side, and soldiers protected them. When Ding Yi heard Yang Anxuan calling out his name, he knew that his whereabouts had long been caught in Yang Anxuan's eyes. It seemed that this assassination was a self-inflicted trap.
Ding Yi knew that it was difficult for him to escape. Seeing that Yang Anxuan dared to stand on the stage to fight, he stepped forward and raised his fists to fight. Even if he died, he would drag Yang Anxuan with him on the road.
Yang Anxuan calmly gave way to his fist, raised his hand and put it on Ding Ao's wrist. With his inner strength revealed, he led Ding Ao forward.
Ding Hao felt like an ant bite on his wrist, and the pain was unbearable. He couldn't use his whole arm, and his steps were unsteady. He was dragged by Yang Anxuan and staggered forward, making the wooden platform tremble.
Yang Anxuan threw Ding Ao about ten feet away, and when he was free, he put his left hand behind his back, looked at the slightly embarrassed Ding Ao with a smile, and said: "Ding Governor, you traveled thousands of miles to Lashan to assassinate, but you were ordered by Song Gong. .”
His words shocked the crowd around him and started talking, "What, the Duke of Song actually sent someone to assassinate him?" The leader Ding Hao is indeed majestic." "Is he the Ding Hao who killed Zhuge Changmin?", "Song Gong was so unkind that he actually sent people to assassinate Yong Gong", "Song Gong was the King Wu of Wei back then"...
Yang Anxuan listened to these discussions, which was exactly the effect he wanted.
Ding Yi stretched out his hand and tore it apart
He was wearing a Ge shirt, bare arms and shorts, revealing his black hair. He opened his arms and hugged Yang Anxuan, preparing to catch Yang Anxuan and strangle him to death.
Yang Anxuan looked coldly at Ding Hao who was approaching, and suddenly stamped his foot hard. The wooden board under his feet was lifted up, and the other end hit Ding Hao's crotch hard.
Even though Ding Hao was extremely brave, this move made him howl out miserably. He clutched his lower abdomen and staggered back. Yang Anxuan stepped forward and kicked Ding Hao with a flying leg. Ding Hao was hunched over, but Yang Anxuan kicked him on his shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground.
Yang Anxuan stood still and allowed Ding Yi to struggle to get up. At this time, the guards had captured the blade-wielding assassin on the platform and held him aside. Seeing that the situation was under control, the crowd watched excitedly as Yong Gong and Ding Yi fought on the stage.
Ding Ao's face was pale. The heavy blow just now made it difficult for him to move. The slightest movement of his leg would affect the injury, which was painful to his heart.
Looking at his father-in-law, Yang Anxuan, Ding Yi felt powerless in his heart. The assassination that Duke Song had spent so much effort planning turned out to be child's play.
At the entrance of the platform, Ding Quan and several people hurriedly came up. The smell of blood emanating from his body made people avoid him. Ding Quan came to the stage and reported loudly: "Song Gong, the assassins in the mountains have killed thirty-six people and captured one hundred and twenty-three people. The other assassins are stepping up their efforts to capture them."
The last hope in Ding Yi's heart was shattered, he roared and lunged towards Yang Anxuan, leaping to the left. He had just looked at the terrain and knew that if he jumped over the railing, he would reach a cliff of ten thousand meters. He would never let Yang Anxuan capture him alive to deal with Song Gong.
As soon as he jumped off the stage and ran forward two steps, a cold arrow shot out and penetrated Ding Ao's left knee joint. Ding Yi groaned,
Dragging his injured left leg, he continued to run forward.
Yu Fei raised his hand and shot another arrow, this time to his right knee. Ding Yi couldn't stand, fell to the ground, struggled to crawl forward, and there were two bright red blood stains behind him.
How could Yang Anxuan let Ding Yi escape? Soldiers had already come forward to capture him. When Ding Yi saw the tip of the gun, he raised his head hard and hit it towards the tip of the gun. The soldier holding the gun quickly retracted his gun in fright.
The tip of the spear still pierced Ding Ao's left eye, and red and black blood flowed out, which was terrifying.
Yu Fei stepped forward and stepped heavily on the back of Ding Ao's neck, knocking him unconscious. Only then did the soldiers step forward and tie up Ding Ao.
Ding Ao is a man, but working for Song Gong is his enemy. Yang Anxuan ordered: "Tie Ding Ao to the bullock cart, hang the strips, and write, 'The assassin is the personal guard of Duke Song, supervising and protecting Ding Ao', so that everyone in the world can see it and argue about right and wrong."
A binding post was set up on the bullock cart, and Ding Hao, who was covered in blood, was tied to it. Soldiers Ding Qingbai practiced beside him, and wrote "Assassin Ding Hao, Song Gonggong Supervisor Protects the Personal Guard". The characters are as big as a bucket, and they are separated by several miles. It can be seen from a distance.
The soldiers drove the car slowly, and behind the car were the captured assassins, tied up with ropes in a long string, and they were driven forward. The spectators were like a crowd, both scared and curious, and the voices of discussion were like a swarm of flies.
Shen Tianzi placed the jujube basket by the roadside. He knew that the assassination failed on Lashan Mountain. Most of the assassins brought by Ding Yi were killed and captured. Even Ding Yi was captured by Yang Anxuan.
From a distance, I saw the white sword with black characters on it that was particularly eye-catching. Yang Anxuan had used this trick before, and now he was repeating the same trick to ruin Song Gong's reputation.
The subordinates quietly gathered around Shen Tianzi, waiting for his orders. Seeing Bai Lian gradually approaching, Shen Tianzi knew
There must be no hesitation, and Ding Ao must not be allowed to live. If Yang Anxuan sends people to escort Ding Ao and impeach Song Gong to Beijing, the world will be shocked and the foundation of Song Gong will be shaken.
"Kill Ding Yi, leave no one alive, and look for an opportunity to kill Yang Anxuan." Shen Tianzi ordered softly. The sixty men he led were all elite soldiers. Unlike those wanderers, all of them were accustomed to fighting on the battlefield.
The knife was hidden in the basket. When the bullock cart approached, Shen Tianzi shouted softly: "Do it!"
The men beside him drew their swords and formed a cone formation to kill forward. The people who were watching the excitement were chopped to the ground by the steel swords behind them and fled in all directions. Sixty people rushed towards the bullock cart like sharp cones. There were soldiers guarding the bullock cart beside them, fighting with these people.
Shen Tianzi threw over the jujube basket, took out the bow and arrow from the basket, aimed at Ding Hao who was tied to the bullock cart thirty steps away, and shot the arrow without hesitation. The arrow entered through his right eye and came out of his brain. Ding Yi died immediately.
A little further away, Yang Anxuan and Yu Fei came flying with their soldiers. Shen Tianzi knew that he could not hesitate, threw down his bow, and fled south among the fleeing people.
When Yang Anxuan led his personal guards to arrive, the soldiers of the Beifu fled. Yang Anxuan was furious when he saw that Ding Hao on the bullock cart was shot to death by an arrow. It seemed that Liu Yu not only sent a team of assassins, but also caused Ding Hao to be killed due to his own carelessness. Finished.
Although the assassination was witnessed by many people, and the silence also confirmed Liu Yu's guilty conscience in some respects, but there was no living witness, Liu Yu could have presumed ignorance, and even accused Yang Anxuan of being tainted.
Shen Tianzi did not care about the life and death of his subordinates. He knew that from the mouths of these ordinary soldiers, Yang Anxuan did not want what he wanted, and if he
Being caught was even more terrifying than Ding Ao's being caught. Shen Tianzi carried the poison prepared in advance in his arms, and if he was surrounded by Yong's army, he would take the poison and commit suicide.
After fleeing back to Pengcheng in fear, Shen Tianzi was relieved when he saw Liu Huaishen. He briefly told Liu Huaishen the story of the failed assassination, and asked Liu Huaishen to quickly send someone to tell Duke Song to respond.
In Jiankang City, Liu Yu learned that Ding Ao had fallen into the hands of Yang Anxuan and was fortunately silenced by Shen Tianzi. He immediately discussed with Liu Muzhi and others, and selected a person from the army who was 70% similar to Ding Yi to take with him, intending to show up everywhere with this "fake" Ding Yi.
Three days later, Yang Anxuan's memorial was delivered together with Ding Ao's head, impeaching Song Gong Liu Yu for sending his bodyguard and supervisor Ding Ao to assassinate him in Lashan, Dongping Lake. Liu Yu argued that Ding Ao had been following him and asked the fake Ding Ao went to the palace to pay homage to King Langya.
Most people knew clearly that King Langya could only pretend to be confused and sent envoys to appease Yang Anxuan, claiming that it was a Wei man who assassinated Yang Anxuan in the name of Ding Hao, deliberately damaging the relationship between Song Gong and Yong Gong.
However, no matter how Liu Yu promoted and explained, it was impossible to stop the world from talking about it. The rumors that Liu Yu was the reincarnation of Cao Cao spread widely due to the deliberate spread of the secret guards, and the clan members who were dissatisfied with Liu Yu also secretly added fuel to the flames. Liu Yu was worried for a while.
At the Duke of Song's Mansion, Shen Tianzi, who had returned from Pengcheng, introduced the assassination process in detail, saying: "We were prepared for the assassination of Yang Anxuan this time. It seems that the news has already been leaked."
Liu Yu said angrily: "Check the assassins recruited by Ding Ao and see who leaked the news."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "It will be useless to investigate at this time. Now the public opinion is very unfavorable to the lord."
, my lord, why not advance the attack plan and use the war to divert everyone's attention, leaving those who are dissatisfied with nothing to say. "
The food, grass and baggage have been prepared, but the purchase of saltpeter is not satisfactory, and the reserve of Danhuo is not enough for the battle.
Liu Yu thought for a long time and sighed: "Yu and Yang Anxuan have already broken up with each other. They are fighting together. Jingzhou has nothing to worry about. Instead, it will have a showdown with Yong's army."
On July 23, Danyang Yin and Liu Muzhi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, arrested Sima Wenbao, Sima Xiu's second son, and Sima Wenzu, Sima Huizhi's son, on the pretext of being friends with bandits and debauchery, and imprisoned them as Tingwei. Liu Yu remembered Sima Wensi's incident and ordered Tingwei to force the two to commit suicide.
On July 25th, Song Gong and Taiwei Liu Yu came to Shu and said that Sima Xiu had indulged his son and nephew, supported his own troops, and separatized the local area. Please add Huang Yue to attack him.
Although he knew that Liu Yu wanted to incriminate him and intended to cut off the foundation of the Sima family, Sima Dewen, the king of Langya, had no choice but to issue an order in the name of the emperor to promulgate the order of Song Gong and Taiwei as the governor of Jingzhou to attack Sima Xiuzhi.
Liu Yu transferred Liu Daolian, the governor of Xuzhou, to the capital to serve as a prisoner and to control the capital's military affairs. He asked Shangshu's right servant Liu Liu to be appointed Zuopushe, and Danyang Yin Liu Muzhi was appointed as Shangshu's right servant. The government affairs were all decided by Liu Mu. Later, Liu Zhong, the internal history of Gaoyang, also served as the prefect of Tangyi to defend important towns such as Stone City and Yeting.
On August 1, Liu Yu led an army of 50,000 people and marched towards Jiangling by land and water, and the war began.
