Three Kingdoms King of the North

"What did Uncle Zhi say?" Han Zhan asked curiously.

"He said that since the lord dreamed that assassins came out of the ground, they might be hiding under our feet at this moment." Xia Houyun quickly replied: "Now General Shuzhi is using the bamboo tube to listen to the ground, trying to find out if there is any The assassin is hiding."

After hearing this, Han Zhan nodded, pointed at Rob, and said to him: "Robu, you go over and call Uncle Zhi, it seems that the Marquis has something to ask him. By the way, if you see General Ziman, Call them too."

Chen Dao and Dian Wei, who were busy, saw Rob running over and said that Han Zhan wanted to see him, so they didn't dare to neglect, leaving a few tiger guards to continue monitoring the underground with bamboo tubes, and they hurried to Han Zhan's house. tent.

Seeing the two people appearing, Han Zhan asked bluntly, "Ziman, Shuzhi, what did you find?"

The two first bowed to Han Zhan, and then Chen Dao reported to him: "My lord, after careful monitoring by my subordinates, there are indeed people underground, and there are about five or six of them."

"Is there really someone underground?!" After hearing Chen Dao's words, Han Zhan frowned and asked, "How did they hide in there?"

"According to my subordinates' estimates, they should have calculated the location of our camp, then dug a tunnel here in advance, and then hid in." Chen Dao heard Han Zhan's question, and quickly expressed his speculation: "They plan to In the dead of night, secretly dug a tunnel into the lord's tent, and then came out from the ground to assassinate the lord."

"General Uncle Zhi, the Marquis doesn't understand," Han Zhan waited for Chen Dao to finish speaking, and asked in bewilderment, "How does the assassin lurking in the tunnel know where the Marquis' tent is?"

"This, this," Chen Dao was stunned by Han Zhan's question, and for a moment didn't know how to answer it.Fortunately, Dian Wei on the side rescued him in time: "If you want to return to the lord, I think the assassins hiding in the ground must have tools like Sinan, so that they can help them confirm the location of the lord's tent."

Hearing what Dian Wei said, Han Zhan suddenly remembered that he once appointed Dian Wei as Faqiu Zhonglang, specializing in digging graves, and he should know more about such things than himself.He nodded, and then asked the two of them: "Can you find the location of the assassins and dig them out of the ground?"

Chen Dao shook his head and replied, "My lord, don't say that we don't know where the assassins are hiding. Even if we knew, we wouldn't be able to dig them out."

"why?"

"If we break the ground, there will be too much noise, and the assassins hiding in the ground will definitely be alarmed." Chen Dao replied, "If the assassins escape, we will have nothing to do with them."

"General Uncle Zhi!" Seeing that Chen Dao's opinion coincided with his own, Xia Houyun quickly asked, "Is there any way you can make the assassin appear without the lord being harmed?"

Chen Dao frowned and thought for a long time, then said to Han Zhan, "My lord, I have a strategy, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"If you have any ideas, just say it." Seeing that he was in danger now, Han Zhan couldn't help feeling panicked. Seeing that Chen Dao was trying to trick him, he said impatiently, "Even if I'm wrong, I'm not afraid of you." I won't blame you."

"Since the assassin's target is the lord, we might as well use the plan." Seeing the dissatisfaction on Han Zhan's face, Chen Dao quickly said to him, "Let someone else pretend to be the lord and stay in the tent, while the lord goes to another tent to take refuge first." .In this way, when the assassin emerges from the ground, he will regard the imposter as the master, and in this way, the master will not be in danger."

"That's a good plan!" Han Zhan nodded in agreement with Chen Dao's proposal, and then asked, "Uncle Zhi, then who do you plan to let someone pretend to be the Marquis?"

Chapter 482 Where is the Assassin

Chen Dao didn't speak, but turned his attention to Rob standing beside Han Zhan.Seeing that Chen Dao didn't speak, Han Zhan was about to ask, but found that his eyes had been fixed on Rob, and he immediately understood what he meant: "Uncle Zhi, are you going to let Rob pretend to be the Marquis?"

"That's right." Chen Dao nodded, and said, "Robu is the lord's confidant, so don't panic when things happen, and it's perfect for him to lie on the couch and pretend to be the lord."

"Okay." Because he didn't know when the assassin would come out of the ground, Han Zhan didn't act pretentiously on this matter, but said simply: "Let Rob pretend to be the commander-in-chief."

Seeing that Han Zhan called his name, Rob hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I wish to die for my lord!"

"Don't worry, Rob, I won't die." Han Zhan raised his hand and patted Rob on the shoulder, comforting him and said, "Later, you put on armor under your clothes, so that even if you get hacked once or twice by an assassin, you won't die." What a threat to life."

When he ordered Xia Houyun to get the soft armor for Luo Bu, he said to Chen Dao, "Uncle Zhi, send someone to place a screen next to Benhou's couch. After the assassin comes out from the ground, he can't see clearly the people lying on the couch." Whoever it is, will not act rashly, and will definitely wait for everyone to come out before doing it, and then we will be able to catch them all."

After the Tiger Guards set up the screen beside Han Zhan's couch, Xia Houyun also brought out the soft armor for Rob, who was about to impersonate Han Zhan, to wear it.Seeing that the preparations here were almost done, Chen Dao said to Han Zhan: "My lord, for your safety, you should go to another tent to feel wronged for a while."

Chen Dao's words reminded Han Zhan that when he saw the murderous tiger guards surrounding the tent, he suddenly realized that if the assassin didn't dig the tunnel into his tent accurately, but got out from the side of the tent, he would find that the outside of the tent was already dead. With convenience, maybe you will change your mind temporarily.Once you let them go, it might not be easy to catch them again.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan said to Chen Dao: "Uncle Zhi, two soldiers were left outside Benhou's sleeping tent, and the rest of the tiger guards hid in nearby tents, and they will attack after hearing the signal from Rob." It's not too late for a big bill."

"Your subordinates obey!" Chen Dao carried out Han Zhan's order without hesitation, and he whispered to the tiger guards around the tent: "All soldiers obey the order and quickly hide in the nearby tents. Here, wait until you hear the signal before rushing out."

After Dian Wei and other soldiers hid themselves, they walked up to Han Zhan and asked, "My lord, what should I do?"

Han Zhan originally wanted to send Dian Wei away, but on second thought, if he kept Dian Wei by his side, let alone five or six assassins, even if there were several times more, he could easily send them away.As for in the book, the reason why Dian Wei died in battle was entirely because he was drunk by Zhang Xiu's general Hu Che'er, and the pair of iron halberds were stolen. Otherwise, even if Zhang Xiu suddenly attacked, he would have weapons at hand Hands can also protect Cao Mengde from the encirclement.

Besides, the assassins who stayed underground didn't know their whereabouts at all, and they had already been controlled by the soldiers and horses camped on the ground.As early as a few days ago, even if Han Zhan's soldiers and horses might fight here, the little leader who led the team knew some Fengshui techniques. After repeated calculations, he calculated the approximate location of Han Zhan's tent, and then A tunnel was dug from another place, and they were going to dig the tunnel in the middle of the night to assassinate Han Zhan from the ground.

The little leader hid in the distance, seeing clearly that Han Zhan's big tent was indeed set up in the position he had chosen, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.As soon as it got dark, he led his men into the tunnel.When they broke through the last two feet, they were afraid of disturbing the soldiers and horses on the ground, so they dug very slowly and carefully.

After a lot of effort, they finally dug into Han Zhan's sleeping tent.The little boss first looked outside, and saw a man in a brocade robe lying on the couch behind the screen. Although his back was facing him, the little boss still decided that this was the target he wanted to assassinate.

After he retracted into the tunnel, he whispered to his subordinates: "The location is right, the man is sleeping on the couch, quickly dig the hole, we go out and kill him."

Knowing that the target was outside, the rest of the assassins immediately became excited. They didn't care about exposing the target, so they accelerated the speed of digging. After going out to kill Han Zhan, they used the tunnel to escape.

The sound of them digging disturbed Rob, who was pretending to be asleep on the couch, and he quickly clenched the sword in his hand, preparing to strike first when the assassin made a move.

The assassins filed out from the tunnel and stood in a row on the other side of the screen, waiting for the order from the little boss.Seeing that everyone had arrived, the little boss shouted in a low voice: "Do it!" Then he raised his foot and kicked over the screen in front of him, and swung his knife towards the couch.

Rob, who was lying on the bed, was already prepared, and quickly rolled out of the bed, then stood up, brandishing his weapon and fighting the assassin, while shouting loudly: "Come on, there are assassins, there are assassins!"

Rob's shout penetrated the tent, and the first to rush into the tent were the two Tiger Guards standing outside the tent door, brandishing their waist knives and fighting the assassins in the tent.Since they already knew that the assassin would emerge from the ground, they deliberately approached the entrance of the tunnel during the fight to prevent the assassin from escaping from here.

The Tiger Guards hiding in nearby tents heard Rob's shout, and rushed out from their hiding place with shouts.However, they didn't rush into the tent immediately, but hacked through the tent with knives and tore off the tarpaulin, exposing the assassins who were fighting in the tent to the eyes of everyone.

The movement from here alarmed the nearby patrol team and the tiger guards resting in the tent. They grabbed their weapons and rushed from all directions, completely enclosing the dilapidated sleeping tent.

Under the protection of Dian Wei and Xia Houyun, Han Zhan came outside the tent, saw that there were quite a few archers among the newly arrived Tiger Guards, and decisively ordered: "Leave one alive, and kill the rest! "

Hearing Han Zhan's order, Dian Wei roared, rushed into the tent, used his halberds to hold the weapon in the hands of one of the assassins, and then kicked him over.While the opponent threw away his weapon and clutched his stomach and struggled, he stepped forward and grabbed the skirt of the assassin, and threw him out with a wave of his hand.The Tiger Guards outside the tent hurried forward and tied up the assassin.

Now that there is already one alive, there is no need for the remaining assassins to stay.Rob and the Tiger Guards who were fighting in the tent retreated quickly, leaving enough space for the archers.

Chapter 483 The ambassador behind

These assassins never dreamed that the army had already set a trap for them.Seeing that there was only a frame left of the tent, surrounded by hundreds of Tiger Guards, knowing that if the fight continued, everyone would have to explain here, so they tried to jump into the tunnel to escape.Unexpectedly, Rob had already guarded against their move. During the fight, he had already kicked the screen to block the entrance of the tunnel.

Seeing that his escape route had been cut off, the remaining assassins could only fight trapped beasts.But the archers around naturally wouldn't give these desperadoes a chance. Following Chen Dao's order, they fired a volley of arrows and immediately turned these assassins into hedgehogs.

Seeing that the assassins in the tent were all shot to death, Chen Dao didn't take it lightly. He pointed at the tiger guard next to him and said, "Go down and have a look."

The Chief of the Tiger Guards agreed, and rushed into the tent with his men.After removing the screen covering the tunnel entrance, Shi Chang took the lead and jumped into the tunnel entrance with a torch in one hand and a short knife in the other.

Watching Shichang leading people into the tunnel for inspection, and Chen Dao instructing others to clean up the assassin's corpse, Dian Wei walked up to Han Zhan with his halberds in hand, pointed at the tied assassin, and said, "My lord, what should I do?" The assassin."

Han Zhan glanced at the assassin who was dressed in black and covered in mud, and said coldly, "Ziman, go and ask, who is responsible for his assassination of the Marquis?"

Seeing that Han Zhan had handed over the matter of interrogating the assassin to himself, Dian Wei struck each other with the two halberds, making a piercing metal clashing sound, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely find out the mastermind from the assassin's mouth." people."

A tiger guard army leader guarding the gate of the village hurried over, bowed and saluted Han Zhan: "My lord, General Zhao, Guo Junshi and others heard that the lord is in danger, so they came here to visit. Stay at the gate of the village, do you know whether to let them in?"

"Let them in!" Since Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others came to visit him specially, it would be too inhumane if they didn't see him behind closed doors, so he ordered them to say, "Let them all come to see me in the big tent."

Under the guard of Xia Houyun and Luo Bu, Han Zhan came to the big tent and just sat down when he saw Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Huang Zhong, Xun You, Tai Shici and others pouring in from outside.After everyone bowed to Han Zhan, Guo Jia took the lead and asked, "My lord, I heard that an assassin broke into the barracks and assassinated you. I wonder if the assassin took it down?"

"Except for one survivor, all the assassins who broke into the tent have been killed on the spot." After Han Zhan called everyone to sit down, he said apologetically, "I made everyone worry about this marquis."

"My lord!" In front of everyone, Zhao Yun couldn't call Han Zhan his second brother, so he could only ask respectfully, "The camp is heavily guarded, how did the assassins sneak in?"

All the warriors who came to visit Han Zhan had the same question in their minds. The barracks is so heavily guarded, but the assassins can still break in. Could it be that they flew in with armpit wings?Since Zhao Yun asked this question on behalf of everyone, all eyes were on Han Zhan, waiting for him to give the answer everyone wanted to know.
