Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 96 False Hunting and Assassination of Liu Gong
Sun Qian felt that Zhang Yi's words did make sense, so he quickly returned to Runan to discuss the feasibility of this matter with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei is also not sure, this cannot be discussed with others, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are fierce generals, and they will definitely look down on such low-level methods, while Mi Zhu is a modest gentleman, and he will definitely feel uncomfortable. As for Jian Yong, this person can't pretend thing.

Why not mention Zhao Yun and Chen Dao?Captain of the personal guard, just be a bodyguard, and don't get involved in decision-making.

So Liu Bei can only discuss with Sun Qian, even though Sun Qian is also a celebrity, but he does not reject this kind of thing, or in other words, even if he rejects it, he will not reject it for Liu Bei.

This method of assassination is not uncommon, and organized assassinations are commonplace in this era.The aristocratic family has done such things a lot, and Sun Qian can hear a lot of them just by hearing the gossip.

Why is it not recorded in the history books?Because there are really few of these assassinated who are worth writing down in history, and they are all unknown people.But if you give an example, you can definitely find it. For example, Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou more than ten years ago, was assassinated to death. This incident caused Ma Teng's rebellion, and it was also related to Han Sui, so it was included in the history books.

"Is this thing reliable?" Liu Bei couldn't make up his mind, he didn't know if it could be done.

"You can try it, and if you fail, just push it to Zhang Yi."

Liu Bei nodded, "Then try."

From the beginning to the end, Liu Bei never mentioned the word assassination, nor did he mention Liu Pi and Gong Du.

Seeing that Liu Bei agreed, Sun Qian immediately sent someone to send a letter to Lujiang, which was addressed to Zhuge Jin in Lujiang.Because according to the agreement between Zhang Yi and him, if Liu Bei agreed, he would notify Zhuge Jin, because most of the people Zhang Yi sent were transferred from Zhuge Jin.

Moreover, Zhuge Jin and Sun Qian are still half of the same hometown. Although Sun Qian is from Qingzhou, he has lived in Xuzhou all the year round, and he and Zhuge Jin still have half of the same hometown, so as not to be noticed.

Seeing Sun Qian's reply, Zhuge Jin immediately called for Shi Xiu and Hua Rong.Zhuge Jin didn't know what Zhang Yi was going to send them to do, but he was smart enough not to ask. Instead, according to Zhang Yi's instructions, he said to the two of them, "Sun Qian replied!"

That's it, nothing else.Shi Xiu didn't say much, said goodbye to Zhuge Jin with Hua Rong, took more than a dozen marksmen, and went straight to the border of Yuzhou.

Ten days later, Liu Bei invited Liu Pi and Gong Du to go hunting on the mountain.In ancient times, military generals preferred hunting, because there were too few entertainments at that time.Therefore, if the ancients were playful, they often preferred to play with three things, beauties, treasures, and hunting.

Of course, some things will be added in later dynasties, such as parties, drinking, poetry, calligraphy and painting.But at this time, most generals only have these three.

Liu Pi and Gong Du's education level is not high, but they have some courage, so they like hunting very much.It happened that Li Tong could not be conquered for the time being, so it would be good to go hunting together.

Liu Bei watched the two rise up and knew that it was time to plan.So he said: "Two generals, why don't we compare and see who can kill the most prey before sunset?"

Liu Pi laughed: "What Mr. Xuande said really agrees with me, but it's better to have a lot of money."

"How about preparing wine for the loser?" Gong Du suggested.

"It's true!"

"Ok, deal!"

The three of them agreed to go hunting separately.Liu Bei took Chen Dao to pick a direction, and went hunting on his own. He didn't take Zhao Yun with him, but let Zhao Yun protect his family in the city.

Zhao Yun is a man with high martial arts skills and good military ability, but he is a bit too "pedantic". In addition, he has not been in Liu Bei's tent for a long time, so Liu Bei did not let him participate in this matter.

He didn't bring Guan Yu and Zhang Fei either, both of whom were sent out by him to recruit troops.

Liu Pi and Gong Du also separated, and with a small team of personal guards, they searched for prey all over the mountain.

When passing by a bush, more than a dozen riders suddenly ran over from one side, shot arrows at Liu Pi and others, and shot down several people.

Liu Pi's personal guard immediately became anxious, "Protect the general!"

Some of them went after the riders, and some of them blocked Liu Pi with shields.

Liu Pi was almost shot by an arrow just now, and was taken aback. After being protected, he immediately jumped into a rage: "Kill them for me, and leave no one behind!"

At this moment, a person suddenly emerged from the bushes behind Liu Pi.It turned out that there was a hole here, and the man covered himself with a yellow shirt and hid in the hole. Liu Pi and others didn't pay attention at all.

This man was dressed in short clothes, crawled out from under the bushes, and approached Liu Pi quietly with a ring-headed knife, stabbing him in the back of the heart.

Liu Pi was shouting, when there was a scream, he fell to the ground and died.

Liu Pi's personal guards hurriedly turned their heads, but they didn't want to hear a shout, so they killed two or three people in a row, and the others panicked and fled in all directions.

That person was Shi Xiu. He didn't expect it to be so easy. Liu Pi actually passed by the bushes. He wanted someone to lure him over!We discussed many situations and designed several plans, but none of them worked.

After Shi Xiu killed Liu Pi's personal soldiers, he rode on Liu Pi's horse and went to support the dozen or so sharpshooters.

Shi Xiu came from behind, and under the attack from both sides, those pursuing Liu Pi's personal guards were quickly repelled.

"Let's go find Brother Hua Rong!"

Shi Xiu took the sharpshooters to meet Hua Rong, and just halfway there, he saw Hua Rong running towards them.

With sharp eyes, Hua Rong saw them first, and immediately beckoned them over.

Shi Xiu patted on the horse and asked quickly, "Have you ever succeeded?"

Hua Rong nodded, "I shot Gong Du in the forehead with an arrow."

"In that case, let's return to Lujiang immediately!" Shi Xiu said.

"it is good!"

Everyone went out of the mountain immediately, but they didn't want to meet Liu Bei at a fork in the road.

When Liu Bei saw them, he didn't recognize them. He immediately knew that Zhang Yi had sent them to assassinate Liu Pi and Gong Du. Looking at their bloodstains, he also knew that they must have finished the assassination.

Liu Bei sighed in his heart, but he knew he couldn't let them go, so he could only shout: "Stop, who are you?"

Hua Rong was taken aback, and immediately shot an arrow, which hit Liu Bei's shoulder.

When Chen Dao saw that Liu Bei was injured, of course he couldn't do it. He immediately protected Liu Bei, and then commanded his soldiers why Shi Xiu, Hua Rong and others.

Shi Xiu knew the whole story. He was afraid that Hua Rong would shoot Liu Bei to death with an arrow, so he said, "Let's go quickly, don't be surrounded by them, it's important to return to Lujiang!"

So they beat their horses and galloped all the way to Lujiang.
