Chapter 603 Jinyiwei's means
Li Yu was personally cultivated by Liu Chan, and he was his henchman and right-hand man, and it was not a simple matter to go to Danhan Mountain to assassinate the high-level of the Kebineng forces, and if he failed, he would probably not be able to come back.
Li Yu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, even if Weichen can't succeed, he can retreat with his whole body, and Jinyiwei never does anything that he is not sure of." ”
Liu Chan looked at Li Yu and thought for a long time before he said, "It's okay, you can go out in person." But remember to put your own safety first. The assassination was not to kill for the sake of killing, but to blame Wei and provoke the hatred between Wei and Kebineng. ”
Li Yu nodded and said, "Weichen understands!" ”
"Well, without further ado, you can do it now!"
"Wechen retires!"
After Li Yu left the imperial city, he rushed to the Jinyi Wei Mansion and prepared to go to the outside of the Saiwai.
Li Yu was packing his bags when a brocade guard walked in, took out a letter and handed it to Li Yu: "Commander, this is the latest information on the northern decision-making over there in Luoyang." ”
"Oh?" Li Yu hurriedly took the letter and read it.
Li Yu read the letter, and his brows suddenly furrowed: "Cao Rui sent someone to Youzhou, and ordered Shanggu Taishou Yan Zhi to be the envoy and go to Kebineng?" Want to win over Kebineng? ”
Jin Yiwei said: "Yes, this is a message from the flying pigeon, what just happened today, the messenger is estimated to set off for Youzhou early tomorrow morning, do you want to ask Your Majesty to intercept the messenger?"
The two sons of Da Sima are on Kebineng's side, and Yan Zhi has a good relationship with Xianbei, if he convinces Kebineng to fall to Wei, the two sons are likely to ....... ”
After several years of training, Jinyiwei has trained a batch of flying pigeons, due to the small number, only very important situations, will use flying pigeons.
For example, now, about Cao Rui's handling of Kebineng's matter, Jinyiwei is using flying pigeons to send messages.
Li Yu looked at the letter, and suddenly had a plan: "Immediately fly the pigeon to pass the book, inform Luoyang Jinyiwei, and ask him to find a way to keep up with the messenger who went to Youzhou Shanggu to deliver the message, and try to capture them on the way, and wait for me to pass." ”
Jin Yiwei's expression moved: "My lord, do you want to ......?" ”
Li Yu sneered: "After all, the assassination is inferior, wouldn't it be better if the envoy of the Wei State and Ke can match each other?" Pass the order, let's not go north, go directly east into Wei to Youzhou! ”
"My lord is smart, I'll do it now!"
The next day, Li Yu led a group of Jinyi guards to leave Chang'an and go in the direction of Luoyang.
At the same time, on the Luoyang side, the messenger sent by Cao Rui also set off from Luoyang and headed for Youzhou in the north.
A few days later, in Julu County, Jizhou.
On the official road to the north, the two horsemen wore official uniforms, galloping all the way, raising billowing dust.
Now it is close to July, the weather is hot, the two are sweating, and the war horses under their crotches are foaming at the mouth.
A ride stopped, pointed to a tea shed in front of him and said: "It's the official post after walking twenty miles, this horse can't stand it anymore, there is a teahouse in front, let's take a rest on the road." Otherwise, the horse will run to its death in the middle of the road. ”
In ancient times, the official uniforms carried important news, and there were 800 miles of urgent transmission, and they would set up a post station every twenty miles on the official road, and the messenger could run wild at any cost, changing horses along the way, so that they could run hundreds of miles in one day.
However, the 800-mile rush will only appear in the Tang Dynasty, and now the Three Kingdoms wars are frequent, the population is sparse, and the horses are mostly used as military, and the props are not very smooth, so there is no 800-mile urgency.
The three messengers set out in the morning, ran dozens of miles, tired and sweaty, and still had twenty miles to go to the next station.
Fortunately, there was a teahouse on the side of the road, which solved their urgent need.
There was a little second at the door of the teahouse, who was entertaining guests, and when he saw the two, he hurriedly greeted him and said loudly: "Please come in the guest officer!" ”
There were also many guests in the teahouse, and the two of them found an empty seat and said to Xiao Er: "Hurry up and serve two bowls of herbal tea, take a few dough cakes, and feed me the horse." ”
"Howler!"
But after a while, Xiao Er brought two bowls of herbal tea and a plate of pastries.
This herbal tea is not made of tea leaves, but is made of ordinary plantain, and put some caramel on it, which is bitter and sweet, refreshing and relieving the heat.
The three of them ran for most of the day, only to feel that their mouths were dry, and they hurriedly picked up the herbal tea and drank it.
"What are you all watching me do?" A messenger put down the tea bowl in his hand and was about to ask Xiao Er to bring another bowl, when he suddenly noticed that the guests in the tea shed were actually looking at him.
Xiao Er suddenly sneered: "You two fools, there are no people in a radius of dozens of miles here, and there is no doubt that there is a tea shed." ”
"You ......" the messenger was startled, and quickly got up and drew his sword, and suddenly felt a whirlwind of heaven, and after three turns in the same place, he fell to the ground.
Xiao Er smiled, turned his head to the others in the tea shed and said, "The adults will arrive in two days, let's find a place to wait for the adults, come and help." ”
Two days later, in a remote and dilapidated village in the north of Julu County.
"Who are you? We are the court messengers, you don't want to die? ”
"Letting us go?"
"Damn, you are a great sin against the Nine Clans."
The two messengers were tied back to back, and when it was time to eat, the brocade guard untied the cloth from their mouths, and the two of them cursed.
"Your Excellency has arrived!" Suddenly, the brocade guard who was letting the wind at the door walked in.
He was followed by Li Yu, who was dressed in a Confucian robe, he was dressed in a cyan Confucian robe, and his sword hung from his waist, like a child of a family.
Although the Wei side faced the attack of the Han Dynasty, the literary atmosphere was very prevalent, and the famous seven sons of Jian'an were all in the Wei State. Therefore, Li Yu pretended to be a Confucian student, which made it easier to hide people's eyes.
"I've seen my lord!" The brocade guards in the room saw Li Yu and bowed their hands one after another.
A messenger facing Li Yu saw Li Yu's dress and said angrily: "Which family are you from, dare to kidnap the court messenger, don't you want to die?" ”
Li Yu smiled faintly, suddenly squatted down, grabbed the messenger's neck in the shape of an eagle claw with his left hand, and slowly exerted force.
"You ......" The messenger suddenly turned red and couldn't say a word.
It took a long time for Li Yu to let go of the messenger.
Li Yu looked at the messenger and said coldly: "Whatever I ask, you will say, my eyes will know whether you are lying or not, no one has ever been able to lie in front of me, if you don't tell or lie, I have a hundred ways to make you unable to survive and die." ”
"Ahem...... Don't...... Ahem......! The messenger shouted.
"Let's put on the torture device!" Li Yu waved his hand, and then walked out of the room.
Then, there were bursts of terrible screams in the room.
"My lord, everything has been asked. The two of them went to the Shanggu Yan Zhi Office and the Yuyang Tian Yu Office respectively. Here are their letters. This is their information, and the questions are very detailed. After a long time, a brocade guard came out with a roll of paper and two letters.
Li Yu took the letter and paper and looked at it, and after a while, handed the letter to Tian Yu to Jinyiwei, and said, "Tian Yu, you pick a clever point to go and deliver the letter, and I will go to Shanggu first." ”
