Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Xu Chu thought for a while, then clasped his fists and replied, "You must obey the last order of the former king. The Sima family has power all over Yecheng and Xudu. If you want to completely eradicate it, you need to carefully plan and prepare, so I will spend some time."

Xia Houchong nodded with satisfaction: "my late father praised 'Tiger Marquis' as trustworthy, and now Guan Zhi really deserves his reputation. The king and the Sima brothers have a deep friendship, and now we can only kill first and then play. Sima's clansmen in Yecheng are handed over to the general. The Xiahou family will handle the matter.

If this matter is successful, it will be criticized by the officials and the king will condemn him. I will tell the king secretly everything after the fact. General Xu can do things in a more concealed way, so as not to implicate future generations..."

Xu Chu nodded, "I have set a date here, and I will send it to Xudu in advance..."

"Then it's time to work." Xia Houchong stood up straight and bowed with respect.

After the two talked, Xia Houchong secretly left Xu's house.

That night Xu Chu stayed up all night, and after thinking hard for the next few days, he couldn't think of a perfect solution.

The open-minded 'Tiger Chi' suddenly became frowning, and finally let his brother Xu Ding discover the clue.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turbans were rampant, and there were also bandits in the hometown of Xu Ding and Xu Chu. The two brothers gathered thousands of strong men and clans to build fortifications to resist the invasion of bandits.

Later, the Xu Chu brothers and their clans all served Cao Cao. Xu Ding was not as powerful as Xu Chu and was overshadowed by Xu Chu, but he was also promoted to General Zhenwei by virtue of his military exploits.

Xu Ding paid a visit to his home during the free time. He wanted to find out the reason for Xu Chu's strange behavior. Is it because Cao Pi did not trust Cao Cao?

A dangerous secret, the more people know, the more dangerous it is.

Xu Chu couldn't resist his brother, because Xu Ding had been comforting him, and it would take time for Cao Pi to be treated the same as Cao Cao.

Xu Chu saw that Xu Ding would be wrong, and wanted to complete Cao Cao's last order as soon as possible, so he told Xia Houchong all the words.

Xu Ding was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, and finally said angrily: "The Sima family has deep roots and is very close to the king. Now that Zhongkang takes on this task, I'm afraid it will implicate the Xu family. Could it be that the general did it on purpose?" ..."

"Brother, don't make wild guesses. The last military order of the late king was to let me listen to the general's arrangement, so I have to do this matter..." Xu Chu made up his mind.

Xu Ding stroked his beard, "I think we can only use Xiahou Ziman's method to find our confidant swordsmen to pretend to be assassins. Only assassination can save the Xu family from disaster..."

Xu Chu nodded, "That's all I can do. I'll select people these two days, and I'll notify Xiahou's family after the date is set. My brother will send someone to send my nephew and Yi'er back to their hometown to visit relatives in the near future. In case this matter ends If you can't control it, the Xu family won't be cut off, Xiahou Ziman promised to protect the Xu family."

"Zhongkang is right. I saw that on the eve of the attack, you said you were sick and stayed at home early, so you can avoid suspicion..." Xu Ding made a suggestion.

Xu Chu was taken aback: "Let me cheat to earn Sima's money?"

Xu Ding smiled slightly: "Zhongkang is not bad, he speaks like the art of war, he can be the leader of the army."

"I don't know anything about the art of war. I may have been around the former king, and I can only remember a few words..." Xu Chu shook his head slightly.

6Chapter 16 Hundred Horses with Horns on the Head

In order to hide their identities so as not to cause trouble for the Xu family, the armor and weapons of the Imperial Army cannot be used.

The brothers of the Xu family made secret preparations after making a plan. Sima's family was in the midst of a happy spring, and they were completely unaware of the upcoming danger.

After Cao Pi ascended the throne, while stabilizing the political situation, he secretly withdrew his power. In terms of external defense, he tried his best to refer to Cao Cao's will.

After the death of the general Xiahou Dun, Cao Pi worshiped Cao Xiu as the general of Zhennan. On holiday, he supervised the military forces in Jingzhou, represented the governor of Jingzhou, and was named Dongyang Tinghou, responsible for defending against Guan Yu; Feng Chenhou, responsible for fighting against Sun Quan; worship Cao Zhen as the general of Zhenxi, the governor of the Yongliang military, responsible for guarding the northwest border, and enter Dongxianghou.

Cao Wei's internal forces are intertwined. In addition to the power of the Cao clan, Cao Pi's succession mainly relied on the Henan gentry. The key position, and at the same time slowly start to attack and eliminate dissidents.

Because of the frequent use of people close to him, Sima Fu, the concubine of the middle school, worried that his strides would cause dissatisfaction among the damaged gentry, so he advised Cao Pi to give up some positions.

Because of Cao Cao's high prestige in the north, the news that Cao Pi was the king of Wei spread to Siyi, and the foreign tribes such as Yanqi Shanyu, Fuyu Shanyu, Yanqi King, and Khotan King all sent envoys to pay tribute to each other.

When Cao Pi saw Siyi coming to court, he was full of pride, and the throne of Wei Wang could no longer satisfy his ambitions, and the words "king of the world" echoed in his ears.

Cao Pi did not have the burden of Cao Cao's reluctance to replace the Han Dynasty. Xiangguo Huaxin and other confidants understood his intentions and began to secretly prepare for the abdication of the emperor.

After Xiahoudun's death, the eldest son Xiahouchong became the new head of Xiahoudun's lineage after taking over the title of Marquis of Gao'an Township.

At the beginning of June, Cao Pi summoned Xia Houmao to meet him in Yecheng. He had recently settled down with his close ministers, and he did not forget his old friend.

Xu Chu was ready to do it, and sent someone to send a letter to Xia Houchong to inform the agreement that Xu Chu happened to be sick at home these few days.

Xia Hou came to Xu's residence with a cover-up, and Xu Chu was very surprised when he saw it: "The action is imminent, and Mr. Ziman is not working in Xudu, so why come to Yecheng? Could it be that the secret letter has not been received?"

"General Xu, don't worry, Xu Du has made arrangements and will definitely act on the agreed time." Xia Houchong nodded slightly.

"Then why are you..." Xu Chu hesitated to speak.

Xia Houchong replied: "I came to Yecheng with Zilin (Xia Houmao), just to confirm with you again, besides night clothes, swords and other things, what else did you cover up?"

"Huh? How else do you want to cover it up? It's enough to kill and silence." Xu Chu's face was full of question marks.

Xia Houchong shook his head and said: "Sima is not an ordinary family. The general has to prepare something for them. Otherwise, the king will definitely investigate this matter to the end because of his affection. At that time, it is impossible to guarantee that his feet will not be exposed."

Xu Chu scratched his head and replied: "I'm a warrior, I only know how to kill people under orders, how can I prepare anything..."

Xia Houchong took out a stack of letters from his bosom, "Sun Quan sent people to send letters to my late father many times, saying that Jiang Dongbing had rescued Yu Jin in Jingzhou, and wanted King Wei to redeem him at a price of one billion yuan, so I asked someone to imitate him." The handwriting of Sun Quan and Zhuge Jin, several letters to Sima Yi, in addition to the letter pretending to be Guan Yu, and the letter from Ji Miao and others who caused chaos in Xudu the year before last..."

Xu Chu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and hurriedly clasped his fists in salute to thank him: "Ziman is worthy of being the empress of the general family, he is really resourceful..."

Xia Houchong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Where did the wise plan come from? It's just a little knowledge of politics. If a big family like Sima doesn't accuse him of surrendering to the enemy and treason, he can't stop the people in the court. Even if the king wants to It’s not easy to say about protecting.”

"I can save it." Xu Chu picked up a letter and nodded.

"The general can just put these letters in Sima Yi's study, and I remember that General Zilian and Sima Yi have a rift, so such a big matter will definitely send important officials to investigate, and it must be General Tuogu, the important minister, and it may not be done at that time. "Xia Houchong continued to add.

"Wonderful, the chain is intertwined, is it something I and the martial arts master can think of." Xu Chu's face was full of admiration.

"General Miao Zan... I'm used to the strife of officials, but it's just like a cat and a tiger..." Xiahou was full of humility. Although the scheme was a bit sinister, they were all doing things for Cao Cao, so they couldn't end up hurting themselves .

Xia Houmao and Cao Pi had a very happy talk, and Cao Pi stayed in Yecheng for a while. Xia Houchong returned to Xudu on the pretext of family affairs.

In late June, Yecheng welcomes summer.

During the day, the cicadas on the trees sing lazily, and at night, the insects in the grass, like you chasing each other to catch up with a song, their neighing does not stop until midnight.

Sima Yi lay on the couch and fell asleep. He dreamed that Cao Cao was sitting in the hall and gave him a scroll, saying: "You have worked hard these years, and you have made great achievements in exterminating Liu Bei in Western Shu and capturing Sun Quan in Jiangdong for the Great Wei. A gift from Matu."

Sima Yi in the dream was ignorant, thinking that the world has been pacified?His mouth gave thanks and his hands received the reward.

Then unfold the picture scroll in front of Cao Cao, and there are indeed hundreds of horses of different sizes galloping.

When Sima Yi was admiring it, he suddenly realized something was wrong, because those horses had sharp horns on their foreheads.

"My lord, although these horses are painted vividly, why do they all have horns on their heads?" Sima Yi was very puzzled.

Cao Cao suddenly frowned and scolded: "It's not Gu's painting, how do you ask Gu to answer? You are proud of being favored, can you blame Gu?"

Sima Yi was startled, and quickly knelt down to explain: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I have no other intentions, but I don't know what the horns on the horse's head mean..."

"Bold, you are still talking nonsense here, and you don't pay attention to Gu at all, Xu Chu, take it down for me."

After Cao Cao yelled angrily, Xu Chu appeared in front of Sima Yi, and two tiger guards, one on the left and one on the right, set him up.

"I'm innocent..." Sima Yi struggled frantically and broke away from the burly Tiger Guard.

When did I become so powerful?Sima Yi looked at his hands in disbelief, and suddenly a big hand came towards him and slapped his face firmly.

With a bang, Sima Yi looked at Xu Chu in horror, for he would definitely not be able to beat Huhou.

Sima Yi kept shaking his head in his dream, and suddenly opened his eyes, and by the bright moonlight outside the window, he found that Zhang Chunhua was patting his face.

"Bitch, how dare you hit me?" Sima Yi struggled to sit up, feeling his face was burning. How dare this woman slap herself madly while she was asleep?

"Husband, are you awake? I was scared to death just now, I thought you were in a daze..." Zhang Chunhua smiled after being scolded angrily.

Sima Yi pointed at Zhang Chunhua and cursed: "Evil woman, how dare you murder me..."

Seeing that Sima Yi was about to make a move, Zhang Chunhua shrank back into the shadows in fright.

"what……"

"Bitch, I haven't hit you yet, what's your name?" Sima Yi shouted angrily.

"It's not me..." There was grievance in Zhang Chunhua's voice.

6Chapter 17 Xu Chu cheated to earn money from Sima

"what……"

"boom……"

Sima Yi was shocked when he heard that the strange sound was indeed coming from outside the house. He secretly felt that something serious happened, so he jumped off the bed and rushed to the door with a stride.

"Husband?" Zhang Chunhua was full of doubts.

"Hush..." Sima Yi turned around and put his finger to his mouth.

Sima Yi gently opened the door of the room, and saw a group of men in black holding swords and slashing at anyone they saw. Every time they opened a room, they heard several screams.

It was the middle of the night at this time, and everyone in the house was fast asleep, so it didn't cause a huge panic.

Sima Yi could tell that this group of people was well-trained, and they shouldn't be some kind of thieves. He didn't know what trouble he had caused.

Sima Yi immediately closed the door gently, looked at Zhang Chunhua and forced himself to be calm: "There are a lot of assassins coming outside, the road to the front yard has been cut off, the only way to survive is to go through the back door, quickly put on clothes and go to see Shier, Zhao Son……"

Zhang Chunhua was at a loss when she heard this, and asked tremblingly, "What about you?"

"I'll follow." Sima Yi boasted that he had three points in martial arts, and he planned to go out to wake up the people around him and create a commotion so that his family could escape.

He didn't wear much at night in summer, so Zhang Chunhua put on a thin shirt and ran to the window at the back of the house.

Sima Yi found his saber in the room, and then pushed the door out with the sword.

"Come on, catch the assassin." Sima Yi shouted in the courtyard.

The men in black were startled when they heard that, and then they chased in his direction.

The people in Sima Yi's mansion were gradually awakened, and then ran around noisily when they saw the black-clothed assassin.

The main road leading to the front yard was guarded, and the panicked people could only escape to the back, because there was a low door at the back of the house, and it was better than waiting to die in the house if they could climb over the wall to get out.

While escaping, Sima Yi confronted someone with a sword, and the force of the rebound made his tiger's mouth go numb.

At this moment, Sima Yi was so shocked that his back was covered with sweat. How could he be an ordinary person with such powerful martial arts and such close cooperation?

Who is going to target the Sima family?Sima Yi thought while fleeing.

When they ran to the back door, Zhang Chunhua was found lying in a pool of blood. It turned out that the back door was also guarded by men in black, but Sima Zhao and Sima Shi were nowhere to be seen.

"Who wants to put my Sima family to death?" Sima Yi beat his chest and stamped his feet in grief.

The men in black stabbed each other one by one, and their killing methods were very exquisite. Dozens of people in Sima's mansion were quickly killed.

The desperate Sima Yi was arrested, and dozens of men in black in the house slowly approached the back door.

Not long after, the men in black came over surrounded by a strong man.

The little bosses reported to him one after another the situation of the battle, and Sima Yi was terrified when he heard it, because they said that no chicken or dog would stay...

"Boss, is Sima Yi the only one left, should he be executed immediately?" asked the man in black who controlled Sima Yi.

The strong man stared at Sima Yi and nodded lightly. Sima Yi gritted his teeth and shouted ferociously: "Who is Your Excellency? You killed my whole family so viciously, can you make me understand?"

Seeing that the leader didn't speak, the man in black grabbed the rope that bound Sima Yi's hands and temporarily stopped the execution.

Seeing the familiar figure of the strong man, Sima Yi recalled the strange dream just now, and suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Xu Chu? Could it be you?"

Xu Chu was taken aback, then pulled off his black mask, looked at the other party and said coldly: "Sima Changshi is really amazing, but it's a pity that this is the end..."

"Really... aren't you sick? Why did you kill my whole family? What is my crime, Sima Yi?" Sima Yi cried out heartbreakingly. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and then asked desperately: "Could it be that the King of Wei wants to kill you?" kill me……"

"I got sick because of you. I have to say that Sima Changshi is very smart. Unfortunately, smart people don't live long. I want to correct it now. I don't kill your whole family, but the whole Sima clan..."

Xu Chuxin said that Sima Yi would understand, and the other party burst into tears and leaned forward.

In such a sad situation, Sima Yi lifted his foot and kicked backwards, hitting the lower body of the man in black.

The moment the man in black covered his crotch in pain, Sima Yi jumped forward like a rabbit.

Because Sima Yi found a way to escape, the guards at the back door more than ten steps away had already gathered.

Due to the sudden incident, the swordsmen around Xu Chu were caught off guard.

Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, Xu Chu grabbed a stone at his feet and threw it over. The stone was the size of a small watermelon and weighed about 20 kilograms.

"what……"

Sima Yi just ran to the low door when the flying stone hit his vest with precision as if he had eyes.

The huge impact was like a cannonball. Sima Yi's spine seemed to be broken, and his internal organs were violently shaken.

The unspeakable pain rose to his head, and Sima Yi sprayed blood and fell down by the door.

The swordsman who was kicked in the crotch followed up and repaired the sword, then clasped his fists and reported to Xu Chu: "He is dead."

Xu Chu nodded, and then told everyone: "You guys have to forget what happened tonight, and go back and burn your clothes overnight without leaving any traces. After a while, when Yecheng calms down a bit, I will arrange for you to remove your armor and go back to your hometown..."
