Chapter 572: Killing and setting fires are good

------------

?Sima Yi's father Sima Fang was indeed plotted against. If the person who plotted against him had not shown mercy, Sima Fang would have become a stubborn corpse at this time.

The one who attacked Sima Fang was naturally Zhao Hu's team who sneaked into Chengdu. The reason why Zhao Hu only injured Sima Fang but died was because he felt that Sima Fang, who had been breathing, was more beneficial to the situation in Wudu than Sima Fang who turned into a corpse.

Sima Fang has many sons. Now the adults are the eldest son Sima Lang, the second son Sima Yi, the third son Sima Fu, and there are several sons who are about to become adults, such as Sima Kui, Sima Xun and Sima Jin. These sons dare not fight each other when Sima Fang was alive, and Sima Fang kicked his legs into the sky. It is obvious that Sima Lang and Sima Yi will have the advantage and the battle will not be too fierce. But if Sima Fang is about to die, this situation is the most strange. It can make the Sima brothers secretly plot, but they will not break up. It just provides some opportunities for Jia Xu and Tian Feng in Wudu.

Speaking of which, although Zhao Hu only brought ten Shadow team members to sneak into Chengdu, their overall strength and action ability are obviously stronger than Zhang Yi, who had brought fifty people into Xiabian City. Sometimes, too many people may not be a good thing. Once someone is noticed and followed by the spies from the Sima family in Chengdu, it will ruin a big deal.

As the former leader of the Shadow East China operation team, Zhao Hu traveled across many prefectures and counties on both sides of the Yellow River. His adaptability and anti-reconnaissance methods are extremely powerful. He can be said to be a true master of Zhao Xing, who was a special forces soldier. He has done a lot of murder and arson activities in secret. He is definitely a veteran in the assassin industry.

Zhao Hu and his group who came to Chengdu did not rush to start, but pretended to be careful in the market in the city, showing a very interesting expression about the goods produced in Yizhou. To outsiders, Zhao Hu, one of the few people, is a typical Central Plains vendor. He is not only good at calculating, but also knowledgeable, so it is difficult to be fooled by others.

Zhao Hu looked at looking for business opportunities in the market, but in fact, he was chatting with different local businessmen to understand the life patterns and preferences of Sima Fang, the governor of Yizhou, from the perspective of collecting useful information for the next assassination. After wandering around various markets in Chengdu for three days, Zhao Hu had already initially understood some of Sima Fang's habits and behavioral characteristics.

Sima Fang does not like luxury in life, and is legitimate and upright, with a typical scholarly aura. He likes to talk big with the celebrities in Yizhou. Every once in a while, he will go to a quiet garden called "Qingbo Lake" in the city to relax. The garden here is open to the people in the city on weekdays, but it is only closed when Sima Fang visits the garden. Because the garden is large, thousands of guards are often used to guard the area.

Zhao Hu followed the tourists in the city to visit Qingbo Lake, carefully observed the terrain in the garden, and found that the lake water was lush with lush grass and lotus leaves and fields, which could hide one's body. Now it is early May. Although the weather in Chengdu is not very hot, the water temperature is not low. Even if you lurk underwater for a long time, people will not freeze their bodies. Using rivers, lakes and seas to hide is a compulsory course for the Shadow Team members. Zhao Hu decided to set the assassination time when Sima Fang visited Qingbo Lake, and the method he took was to wait for the rabbit in the most innovative way.

It looks a bit stupid when waiting for the rabbit, but if you are patient enough, you will wait for Sima Fang, the old rabbit. The key to the problem is how to escape safely under the search of nearly a thousand guards after the assassination.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hu finally decided to take separate actions to cover the team members hiding underwater to escape from danger. The specific action plan he formulated was: after calculating that Sima Fang would go to Qingbo Lake one day, two days in advance, Li, two team members, were sent to sneak into Qingbo Lake at dawn. They would disperse two places hidden on the shore of Qingbo Lake, holding small short crossbows, waiting for Sima Fang to arrive.

The team members who were responsible for creating chaotic scenes on the shore, when they saw Sima Fang enter the garden for a period of time, immediately lit some gunpowder on the periphery of the guards responsible for the alert to attract the attention of a large number of guards. At this time, the team members lurking under the lake immediately shot a arrow at Sima Fang and then immediately sneaked into the distance.

As long as Sima Fang is shot by a crossbow arrow, he will gradually become poisoned and fall into a coma. The effect of this toxin lasts for a long time and is impossible for ordinary doctors to remove it because the poison applied to the arrow is from the hands of the miraculous doctor Hua Tuo.

During the entire operation, the most difficult thing to grasp is that the team members responsible for covering outside the garden walls cooperate with the players lurking under the lake in time. The team members responsible for lighting gunpowder must not start early or late, and must wait until Sima Fang approaches one of the two underwater lurking players.

This problem can be solved with the help of a Shadow Team member's equipment and a means of contact. This means of contact is a portable monocular, and this means of contact is a flag-word signal.

In order to ensure the success of the assassination, Zhao Hu personally selected a four-story inn near Qingbo Lake Garden, and booked several rooms on the top floor of the inn. He and the team members stared at the roads on Qingbo Lake every day through monoculars. He really saw that Sima Fang had visited the garden once, and then launched a specific action this time.

According to the information found, Sima Fang usually went to Qingbo Lake to relax after five to seven days. Therefore, when dawn came five days after the last time Sima Fang visited the park, two team members wore special warm and waterproof clothing, with air-guiding equipment specially used for diving and small crossbows for assassination, and took advantage of the fact that no one was there to sneak into the lotus leaves of Qingbo Lake.

In this operation, except for the monocular telescopes that are not suitable for being discovered, the rest of the equipment they used were not carried with them. These equipment, including a batch of gunpowder, were other Shadow team members who have been in and out of Yizhou with the Jin State caravan in recent years, mixed some special equipment into the goods and then hid in some corners of Chengdu, and came in handy at critical moments.

According to the signal agreed in advance, several team members responsible for burying gunpowder to blow up the garden wall also took action. They also put the finished gunpowder under the stone foundation of the garden wall before dawn, and then pulled out a lead that was not suitable for being discovered. When they saw a certain color of silk cloth hanging on the window of a guest room on the fourth floor of the restaurant in the distance, they would ignite the gunpowder at the same time, and then quickly retreat while the lead was burning.

Once the gunpowder is detonated, it will produce a huge vibration and sound, which will soon be transmitted to the ears of the team members responsible for assassination under the lake. At this time, they will emerge and reconnaissance the shore with lotus leaves. Whether it is the team members east or west of the lake, as long as they see Sima Fang, they will immediately take action and shoot a silent arrow from the lotus leaves...~
