Chapter 1189: Condolence
The place where Wang Yuanji is buried has been chosen, that is, he is buried in Shouyang Mountain, after Sima Yi died, he was buried here, and in the future, after the death of Sima Shi and Sima Zhaozhu brothers, they will also be buried here, so Wang Yuanji's cemetery will be chosen in the position of Sima Yi's head.
So on the day of the funeral, the big and small people of the Sima family will go out of the city to send the funeral, at this time, even if they bring some guards, the number will not be too much, it is a good time for the ambush, Li Feng and Zhang Ji chose this day to start, it is also very suitable.
However, if Li Feng and Zhang Ji want to lead their family soldiers to attack, it is obviously not enough, after all, although these family soldiers are quite numerous, their combat effectiveness is limited, and it is difficult to match the Sima family's army.
What's more, these hundreds of people want to go out of the city to set up an ambush in advance, how can they not make Sima Shi notice, I am afraid that it will be a surprise and the matter will be revealed.
But this problem is not a problem, Li Feng immediately solved it, Li Feng's younger brother Li Yi, is currently serving as the assassin of Yanzhou, and Chongzhou and Sizhou are adjacent to each other, and the distance is only hundreds of miles, Li Yi led the troops from Yanzhou overnight, arrived outside Luoyang City, at most it was two or three days, and then ambushed on the road from Luoyang to Shouyang Mountain, and when the Sima people found out that something was wrong, I am afraid it was too far away.
Li Yi is going to bring back this time, it is not a family soldier and a slave, but a real army, Li Yi carefully selected a thousand people from the Yanzhou army, these thousand people are really strong and brave soldiers, and the team of 1,000 people is enough to crush the team of the Sima family's funeral.
These thousand elite soldiers are Li Feng and Zhang Ji's biggest reliance, they are ambushed outside Luoyang City, and Li Feng and Zhang Ji's family soldiers will echo in the city, what they have to do is to close the city gate and capture the remnants of the Sima clan.
Now what Li Feng and Zhang Ji need to do is to go to Sima Mansion in person to spy on Sima Shi's movements and see if Sima Shi is prepared.
Of course, this is also a link that must be completed, before starting, Li Feng and Zhang Ji have to continue to maintain the relationship with Sima Shi, whether it is a snake or a honey belly sword, in short, before tearing their faces, they have to maintain a harmonious appearance.
At this time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty took turns to go to Sima's Mansion to mourn, and they had to offer a funeral of great value. No official will feel sorry for the funeral, they are all digging out their hearts to prepare gifts, you must know that this is the best opportunity to curry favor with Sima Shi, whether they can be promoted and make a fortune, but they can count on it.
In ordinary times, Sima Shi was upright and resolute, iron-faced and selfless, and some officials quietly gave gifts to Sima Shi, but instead of being promoted, he was directly cut down by Sima Shi and never hired. The news spread, and no one dared to bribe Sima Shi anymore.
In fact, Sima Shi didn't look down on the little things they sent, Sima Shi controlled the government, and the country's financial and tax power was in his hands, and if he took people's money, he had to eliminate disasters with others, how could Sima Shi be the kind of person who bent his waist for a little money, those few officials who paid bribes, patted the horse's fart on the horse's hooves, and it was strange not to fall the frieze.
As for the value of the gift, the giver and the recipient of the gift are naturally tacit, and it is not difficult to understand that some people rack their brains in order to give gifts, and this gift must be valuable and rare and unique, so as to show their own hearts and make Sima Shi remember himself.
Although giving expensive gifts may not necessarily lead to promotion, as long as Sima Shi can remember himself, it is the greatest benefit.
Li Feng and Zhang Ji naturally don't need to worry about what gifts to give, as long as they are more valuable, Zhang Ji still has some complaints, is it worth it to give such a generous gift to the Sima family?
Li Feng laughed and said: "What's so reluctant about this, in a few days, we can take it back with interest!" ”
Zhang Ji thought about it, if the mutiny was successful in a few days, the Sima family's billions of family wealth would not be picked up by them, this would not only be a return with profits, but a good deal with thousands of profits.
Although it is already close to the funeral, but the people who come to mourn are still endless, and now Sima Shi is in charge of the power of the court, I am afraid that all the officials in the court, there are few who do not come to mourn, this face has to be given anyway, even if it is the officials from other places, they also try their best to come to mourn, even if they can't come in person, they will entrust their subordinates to send the funeral.
This is just the funeral of Sima Shi's brother and daughter-in-law, if it is the funeral of someone closer to Sima Shi, I don't know what the excitement will be?
Zhang Ji and Li Feng arrived at the gate of Sima Mansion, looking at the busy scene, they couldn't help but smile secretly, power is really a good thing, it can hold people high, today's Sima Shi is at the peak of power, even if the failure of Youzhou and Dongxing will make his reputation lost, but on the surface, he is still the most powerful person in Wei.
This can't help but make Zhang Ji and Li Feng look forward to it, after killing Sima Shi, they can also enjoy such a glorious status, thinking about the future in front of Zhang Mansion and Li Mansion, there will also be such a busy scene, Zhang Ji and Li Feng can't help but feel overjoyed.
Life in the world, isn't it just to fight for a rich future, Zhang Ji and Li Feng saw this scene in front of them, which strengthened their beliefs, and launched a mutiny and killed Sima Shi, I am afraid it is the best choice in their lives.
The inside and outside of the Sima Mansion were heavily guarded, and those guards were not lax because of the funeral, but they were more tight, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the Sima Mansion was guarded like an iron bucket.
Zhang Ji and Li Feng nodded secretly, it seems that their choice is still wise, if they want to attack Sima Mansion at this time, it is purely to find death by themselves, and they want to do it, it seems that it is most appropriate to choose at the time of the funeral.
The crowd of condolences almost lined up to go inside, Sima Yan was dressed in sackcloth and filial piety clothes, standing at the gate to greet the guests, with a sad expression on his face, the guests who participated in the funeral were also solemn, no one dared to speak loudly, and walked inside step by step.
Zhang Ji and Li Feng also walked with the flow of people, they also stopped talking, pretending not to know each other well, and there were a few people in between, and slowly came to the front of the mourning hall.
