Cao Cao saw that the war in Jingzhou had dragged on for too long, and on the northern side, the pressure of the mountains was rolling in. I knew I couldn't go on like this. So he summoned Guo Jia and said: "Fengxiao, the war in Jingzhou is unfavorable, and the north is about to move, I am afraid that the Xuande army will attack." I want to delay it. How is it? ”

Cao Cao also had an elite scout army, scattered all over the world. Hiding everywhere. The usual task of this scout is to lurk in various places and collect all kinds of intelligence information for Cao Cao. Guo Jia is responsible for the day-to-day work. Now Cao Cao means to use this scout force to carry out sabotage work, so he has to ask Guo Jia if he can do this.

Guo Jia said: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while." The lord wants to use it, and it is the right time. The lord gave an order, and good news will come soon. "There are more things that scouts can do, and many things are handled well, no worse than the results obtained in the frontal battlefield.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, so he said: "In this case, I will wait for the good news of filial piety." ”

Chang'an, Kong Rong is here, and he has made great efforts to repair the palace city and the outer city, so that the world's majestic city, inside and outside, has regained its new brilliance. It looks vibrant.

Because the decision to return the capital of Chang'an has been passed by the court. Therefore, the number of residents in Chang'an will increase day by day. In the future, all the officials of the Son of Heaven will live and work here, and this will once again become the center of the world. So the businessmen were the first to see the opportunity. They have taken the lead and come to the Guanzhong area to look for opportunities.

The people also migrated in a steady stream. Where is the safest place in these troubled times? Naturally, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven. The arrival of countless people has led to the skyrocketing housing prices in Chang'an. Jing Zhaoyin can control the price of rice in Chang'an, but they can't do anything about the housing price. The market is booming, and officials at all levels are also smiling. These are all political achievements.

There are more shops one by one, and department stores and food are becoming more and more abundant. On this day, in a shop in the West Market, the shopkeeper was sitting inside, and suddenly a tall and thin man walked in, looked at it casually, and said, "Shop, can you buy rice here?" ”

The shop sign fluttering in the wind outside clearly indicates that this is a cloth shop. But when the shopkeeper heard this, he stood up and said, "There is no rice, do you want oil?" ”

The tall man said, "No, bring me a pot of wine." At this point, the code is over. Then the store wants to go outside the door to check the movement.

The tall and thin man said softly: "Don't look at it, there is no one behind you, it is absolutely safe." ”

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and said, "Bring something." ”

The thin man took out a thin bamboo tube from his arms, and the store checked that the seal was correct, and then nodded to indicate that he had received it. The tall and thin man stepped out of the store and disappeared into the endless crowd after a few breaths.

At night, when it was dark, a group of black-clothed people gathered together in a secret room, and on a table, there was a map, and the candles flickered, shining brightly on the eyes of this group of people.

The leader said in a low voice, "Everyone knows the goal, right?" If it's no problem, let's do it at the third watch. ”

Everyone nodded in unison. Then sit down separately and begin to close your eyes and recuperate. Under the strong clothes, the muscles of the body are bulging, and it looks extraordinarily strong. At the time of the third watch, the husband will report the time on time. By this time, the group of men in black had climbed onto the roof, and then began to set off towards their goal.

After Chang'an was recovered by Liu Bei, Zhao Yun was first garrisoned, and then Zhang Ji, Zhong Xuan and others were governed. The military and civilians in Guanzhong have made concerted efforts to restore agricultural production. In the past few years, Guanzhong has been a big harvest year after year. In addition to supporting Liangzhou and the Western Regions, there is still a lot of food left.

Since Zhao Yun returned from the first month of Linzhu, the Chang'an government began to collect grain from the people, and at the same time, the grain from the Kanto region began to be transported in a steady stream. People with a heart in the officialdom know that Guanzhong is only afraid that he will use soldiers. Now that the Hu people in the north have fled without a trace, and the Western Regions have won successive battles, and the goal of who Guanzhong wants to deal with with is naturally self-evident.

At the time of the third watch, most of the people had already slept, and only the soldiers of the Han army on patrol were still sticking to their posts, looking keenly into the unknown darkness.

Zhong Xuan's mansion, Zhong Xuan had already rested early. He is already in his early fifties, and since he came out, only under Liu Bei has he felt the passion for doing business. All matters in Guanzhong, except for the military, are entrusted to him. And a dilapidated pass can show his ability even more. Zhong Xuan became more and more energetic the more he worked, but physically, he was also a little unbearable. If there are too many affairs, it is inevitable that you will not have enough energy.

After Zhong Miao fell asleep, on the roof, a team of black-clothed people suddenly crawled up. After a while, in the east wing, the fire was flourishing, waking up the servants of the Zhong Mansion.

Suddenly the gong sounded, Zhong Xuan woke up from sleep, got up in his clothes, saw the blazing fire in the courtyard, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose. ”

He was known for his strict governance. Unexpectedly, there was a fire in this house in the middle of the night. Wouldn't it be a joke if it gets out tomorrow? The retainers must be held accountable now.

The left and right sides looked at each other, and after a while, a servant stepped forward and said, "Lord, Zhong Hua is on duty tonight, but he can't find anyone else." ”

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the neighbors and officers and soldiers on the left and right came to put out the fire. If the fire is not curbed and spreads, it can burn half of Chang'an City.

Zhong Xuan temporarily suppressed the matter, the army came, and he, the master, should come forward to see it. So I went back to my room and changed my clothes, planning to go out. As soon as he passed the wall, the man in black on the roof saw an opportunity, and with a bang, the crossbow machine was pulled, and for a while, the crossbow shot towards Zhong Xuan like rain.

After the black-clothed man on the roof shot the empty crossbow box, he fled in a hurry without looking at it. Behind him, a mournful shout came: "Someone! The Lord has been assassinated! ”

Suddenly, the entire Zhong Mansion was in chaos. The officer who came to put out the fire was shocked to hear that Zhong Xuan had been assassinated, and immediately knew that the fire had nothing to do with the assassin, so he summoned a group of soldiers and ordered: "Go to the camp immediately, report to the captain, there is an enemy in the city to make trouble, let him send more men." ”

Jing Zhaoyin also has people patrolling the city, but Zhong Xuan doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, so it won't be useful. After the order, the officer commanded people to put out the fire, and at the same time hurried towards Zhong Xuan, constantly saying in his heart, Zhong Xuan must not have anything to do. Otherwise, if you are held accountable, you will be assassinated on the spot, but the rescue is not effective, and you will not be able to escape the responsibility.

The bell is life-threatening. This rain of arrows didn't shoot Zhong Xuan to death. It turned out that Zhong Miao rode a horse when he was a child, and was overturned by a horse into the water and almost drowned. And as Jing Zhaoyin, when he goes out, he has guards. As soon as the crossbow machine sounded, it was discovered by his guards, the guards in front took the initiative to block the arrows, and the guards in the back pushed Zhong Xuan to the ground at the last moment. The guards were shot into a sieve, and after Zhong Xuan fell to the ground, a few rolls returned to the shadow wall, but they escaped this crisis.
