Before the action, several leading figures made detailed plans and made detailed arrangements for their subordinates.

In fact, this task was not difficult. The drugs and spells Xiao Yunyan had equipped everyone with could all be used. And everyone had a small pistol in their hands. If they could not capture the opponent, they could kill him directly at the critical moment.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan's reward principle is that if the enemy can be captured alive, a reward of five taels of silver will be given for each enemy captured; if the enemy is killed, a reward of three taels of silver will be given for each enemy killed.

The purpose of such rewards is to encourage them to use more drugs and less pistols, which are not weapons of that era.

Moreover, only by catching them alive can we get some hidden truths from them and even instigate rebellion.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan had already made up their minds that they could not keep passively taking the beating and dealing with various attacks and assassinations from the other side.

If we can learn some secrets from these captured soldiers and killers and turn them over, or use drugs to force them to cooperate with our actions, we can turn the passive situation into the active one.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan have basically confirmed that the second prince is definitely one of the masterminds behind the scenes. Is the other person the eldest brother or the third brother? It is impossible to confirm now. Maybe there is a deeper hidden mastermind behind the scenes.

In any case, they must first find the loopholes from these assassins and the soldiers hiding outside the capital.

After making all the necessary preparations, the action began.

Those assassins hid in various places in the capital, all in inconspicuous small courtyards.

Wu Zheng divided the palace soldiers into several teams, each team of fifty people was responsible for a courtyard.

First go there and use a round of knockout drugs. If you can knock out the assassins directly with the knockout drugs, then you can wait to get your money.

At the same time, in order to prevent these assassins from escaping, a magic circle was set up outside each courtyard, and sleeping pills were sprinkled inside the magic circle.

It was originally thought that this operation was foolproof, but these assassins did not all sleep peacefully in their respective courtyards.

There were a dozen assassins who went out on a mission, and their mission was to assassinate several important officials.

Therefore, after the operation was over, the stunned assassins were taken to the government office.

However, the dozen or so assassins who went out to carry out the mission were not caught.

Wu Zheng and his men didn't know the exact number of assassins who had sneaked into the imperial arena. So, for now, this mission was accomplished. Then there were the guards outside the city.

They were very secretive when they acted. Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan could have used space to bring them directly to the action site, and the rest would be up to the guards to fight with those soldiers.

But they did not do that. Instead, they asked the soldiers to wrap the horses' hooves with cotton cloth and move out of the city in small groups so as not to attract the enemy's attention.

If Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan took action directly, those hidden soldiers would probably be knocked unconscious by them without any escape.

But the two did not take direct action. After all, the country does not only belong to the two of them. These guards also need to be put to use.

If soldiers never have any military achievements or rewards, they will feel that they are useless.

Moreover, military merit is needed to be promoted to a higher position, so Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan plan to leave this matter to them.

Every time they captured an enemy, they were rewarded with five taels of silver, which was just a superficial incentive. If the mission was truly completed, these soldiers would receive a more generous reward.

It's just that they didn't tell these soldiers in advance, maybe they wanted to give them a surprise. Only when they can get extra rewards will they feel excited.

When the commander of the Imperial Guards led a thousand men and quietly entered the valley, it was already the beginning of the evening. At this time, the valley where the temporary garrison was stationed and the surrounding areas of the valley were filled with tents.

After all, their mission was long, and if they had to sleep in the open air all the time, the soldiers would get sick in a few days. So they chose a particularly open valley to camp in, surrounded by dense forests, so they would not be discovered.

In order to complete the task of capturing these people, you first have to pass through a dense forest of more than 100 meters, and then you can reach that valley.

Besides, the valley was empty, and the tents of two thousand soldiers were spread all over the valley. If the sleeping pills were sprinkled in each tent one by one, it might alert the enemy.

Therefore, this strategy was rejected by the commander of the Royal Guards. I want to explore the terrain around the valley.

If the drugs could be sprinkled from a high place, then only a dozen bottles would be needed to cover all places in the valley.

The commander of the Royal Guard sent two skilled men to explore the terrain on both sides.

After about an incense stick of time, two men who had surveyed the terrain came back. They said the valley was quite wide, about thirty meters wide and rectangular. The tents were very close together, so they stretched for about a hundred meters.

The two mountains were not very steep. They were also densely covered with trees. The trees on both sides of the valley were very tall. So after they had explored the terrain, they came up with a strategy: just block both sides of the valley. Then send 40 soldiers with good light skills to move towards the mountainside on both sides. Find a taller tree at the nearest place to the valley, use light skills to climb to the tree trunk with good light skills, and then spread the drug into the valley below.

Just now when they were exploring the valley, they found that because it was a long and narrow valley, the wind blew in the direction of the valley.

Therefore, we only need to arrange a few more people at the upwind side to spread the drugs throughout the valley.

For safety reasons, the commander of the Royal Guard selected 50 people, 25 of whom were responsible for spreading the medicine, and the remaining people were divided into four groups. One group of people went around the valley and stationed at the exit of the valley.

Another 200 people were sent to guard this mountain pass. The rest were divided into two groups. They lined up in two rows on the hillsides of the valleys on both sides, pointing their pistols at the soldiers below the valley.

If these soldiers were drugged and didn't escape, then they wouldn't have to take action.

If there are any soldiers who are stunned and run away in all directions? There are guards on all four sides. At the critical moment, you can use a pistol to make them lose their ability to move.

After deciding on the capture strategy, all the soldiers began to act.

The camp of 2,000 people was not quiet when they slept. There were snoring, farting, and grinding of teeth. In addition, there were night soldiers guarding both sides of the valley. But these soldiers were knocked unconscious before they could react.
