Chapter 852: The Four Great Assassins (Supplementary Night)

Baishuiguan in Yizhou is the main battlefield where the Yizhou Army and the Hanzhong Army fought.

Yang Su, the emperor-level commander of the Sui Dynasty, was ambitious and wanted to capture Baishui Pass and open the way to Hanzhong.

It was Liu An, a foreign prince who defended Baishuiguan, and the player lord who cooperated with Yizhou Mu Liu Yan at the beginning, and has always been the sworn enemy of the Hanzhong leader.

The two have been fighting tit for tat for many years, but Liu Bei and Yang Su entered Yizhou to overwhelm Liu An's territory.

In a rage, Liu An turned to cooperate with his sworn enemy Zhang Dao, defending Baishui, blocking the dangerous passage between Chengdu and Hanzhong, disgusting Liu Bei and Yang Su.

There are many ways to attack Hanzhong. You can attack from Baishuiguan and Berkshire. Relatively speaking, the Yizhou army tends to take Baishuiguan because it is relatively easy to supply.

Because of Liu An's tenacious defense of Baishui Pass and the treacherous terrain of Shu, Yang Su was unable to capture Baishui Pass quickly, and was stopped by Baishui Pass for 47 days, unable to advance half a step.

"Liu An is my confidant's serious problem and must be eliminated."

In Yang Su's military tent, Yang Su invited a foreign player.

For their own benefit, players are often active in the vassal hegemony, seeking profit, it may be for status, or it may be for gold and silver.

This player has been dealing with Yang Su for several years, and the two sides have cooperated.

At first, the player's allegiance was to Cao Cao, and later he was bought by Yang Su's lord Zhao Long.

After Zhao Long was killed in battle, this person followed Yang Su all the time, and Yang Su gave him the status and gold and silver he wanted.

He was recruited by Yang Su and immediately guessed Yang Su's intention.

"You want me to send someone to assassinate Liu An? The price is not cheap."

The player made a gesture to ask Yang Su for gold and silver.

Yang Su already understood the greed of players: "In the past three years, I have rewarded you with no less than three thousand taels of silver every year. This is not a small amount."

"I have a few assassins that I need to support. They are the best assassins in the world. They can assassinate people even if they are princes. At the beginning, Cao Cao and Zhao Long used the assassins to achieve their goals. If you want To assassinate Liu An, one thousand five hundred taels of gold is required. If the assassin accidentally dies,

There is an additional one thousand five hundred taels. "

"In other words, a total of three thousand taels of gold is needed..."

Yang Su's eyes were a bit stern.

The player's bidding price was high, but this person did recruit a group of assassins, including NPCs and free players.

Both Cao Cao and Zhao Long used this group of assassins to work for themselves.

This player said: "Even if you spend three thousand taels of gold to kill Liu An and capture Baishuiguan while the defenders are leaderless, it is quite valuable. Why should you hesitate? Besides, top assassins value chivalry, not gold and silver. It took me a lot of time to make them owe me a favor. It took me five full years to find ways to establish friendship with the top assassin. So three thousand taels of gold is not a lot at all."

"That's all, then three thousand taels of gold. If the assassination is successful, one or two taels will not be missing."

In order to open the passage to Hanzhong as soon as possible, Yang Su has become crazy, even unscrupulous.

The siege of Baishuiguan by Yang Su's army ended, and the 200,000 troops left Baishuiguan one after another.

The defenders of Baishuiguan were already ready to fight to the death with Yang Su's army, but Yang Su's sudden withdrawal made the defenders of Baishuiguan breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate the enemy's retreat.

"It seems that Yang Su saw that Baishui Pass could not be attacked for a long time, and he lost tens of thousands of troops, so he retreated. If Liu Bei and Yang Su hadn't fled to Yizhou and the doves occupied the magpie's nest, I would have succeeded Liu Yan and became the lord of Yizhou , I'm really not reconciled!"

Liu An thought of the easy-to-get position of Yizhou Mu, and was snatched away by Liu Bei and Yang Su, and he is still gnashing his teeth.

Baishuiguan was not easy to attack, so Yang Su led his troops to retreat. In Liu An's view, it was a matter of course.

When Yang Su retreated 200 miles away, there was a tendency to return to Zitong, the Baishuiguan defenders became more relaxed, thinking that Yang Su had completely given up attacking Baishuiguan, and immediately relaxed.

The gate of Baishuiguan was opened, and grain and grass were transported from surrounding villages and towns to enter the pass for supplies.

But at this time, fish and dragons are mixed.

"I heard that Liu Bei led his own expedition against the Nanman, and suffered a lot in the mountains and forests. Yang Suyou Han Qinhu, Hu Luguang, Gao Su and others were brave and good at fighting. If it weren't for the fact that Baishuiguan was easy to defend and difficult to attack, maybe , has already been captured by Yang Su. It is a wise choice for Yang Su to retreat now, otherwise, his head will be broken."

Liu An led a group of generals to inspect the city defense of Baishuiguan, and ordered people to repair the damaged city wall.

Outside Baishui Pass, Yang Su ordered people to burn the siege equipment, and the ruins made the Baishui Pass guards believe in Yang Su's retreat.

"King Xia heard that I resisted Yang Su at Baishuiguan and delayed Yang Su's advance, and he praised us very much. After King Xia pacified Liaodong, he will receive me. In the future, we will have the opportunity to become a Marquis when we join King Xia."

As an inconspicuous prince of Yizhou, Liu An was not as popular as Zhang Dao, or even Mu Ke in the Nanman area, but he was also the target of Chutian's wooing, and he had a chance to be named a prince.

Liu An's generals learned that their lord planned to attach themselves to the most powerful King Xia, and that they would be King Xia's generals in the future, with a bright future, so their morale was boosted and they were more motivated to defend Baishui Pass.

Hundreds of wheelbarrows transported grain and grass to Baishuiguan to make up for the previous loss.

Suddenly, a wheelbarrow toppled over near Liu An, causing a small riot.

"Food and grass are important matters for military strategists. You go to help and quickly transport the grain and grass to the granary."

Liu Anling stepped forward to help.

Suddenly, the sharp sword came out of its sheath, and the civilian man who transported the food had a calm expression, striding towards Liu An!

"Help me!"

When the murderous intention suddenly appeared, Liu An's soldiers turned pale and were in a mess!

No one would have thought that after it was almost clear that Yang Su had withdrawn his troops for 200 miles, there would be a professional assassin who planned to make a move with a sword!

There is a group of soldiers around Liu An, they are either high-level troops or generals!

The soldiers close to Liu An hurriedly drew their swords, trying to stop the assassin who suddenly attacked!

The cold light flicked, and the assassin's attack was fatal. Almost all of them were sure to kill with one move. With the ambition of never returning, he went straight to Liu An!

One by one, the personal soldiers were killed by the sharp sword, and there were as many as thirteen people who fell under the sword of the assassin!

"Don't hurt my lord!"

A diamond-level general made a move, trying to stop the assassin!

When the assassin launched an attack, he had already considered the position of this diamond-level general!

The big knife slashed at the assassin's long sword and knocked it into the air!

At this time, the assassin threw away the long sword, smashed Liu An's throat with the scabbard, and assassinated him!

A top assassin, even a scabbard, can be used as a weapon for killing people!

The diamond-level general's second strike came right away. The assassin wanted to dodge, but in order to kill Liu An, it was too late, and was slashed by the diamond-level general!

"kill him!"

Liu An's soldiers surrounded the assassins!

The assassin was thin and small, only five feet tall, holding the only remaining scabbard, and looked around indifferently at the hundreds of soldiers who had only reacted at this time, as well as the densely packed Baishuiguan garrison.

Surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers, even the best assassins in the world cannot escape.

Small-scale sneak attack, top assassins bleed five steps, almost invincible, but they can't compete with the army fighting on the battlefield.

A round of arrow rain or spear phalanx assault by the army, any assassin will die.

"You killed my lord, you must die with your life!"

Liu An was usually pretty good against the generals, but when Liu An was suddenly killed by an assassin, the group of generals became furious from embarrassment!

"I want to kill Liu An, not for Juelu, but for repaying kindness. My wish is fulfilled."

Holding the scabbard, the assassin entered the army.

Although thousands of people, without hesitation.

The dense forest of guns stabs at the assassin!

One person, with only the scabbard, killed another twenty-seven people.

In the army formation, the assassin's force seemed to be suppressed and could not be fully exerted. He was severely injured, and his spear left blood holes on his body.

In the end, the assassin who claimed to be Yao Li grabbed a soldier's sword and killed himself.

Thousands of eyes focused on this assassin. He promised to assassinate Liu An, but he didn't think about leaving alive.

Yaoli fell in a pool of blood, and Baishuiguan was in chaos.

The defenders of Baishuiguan didn't care who Yaoli was.

The lord of Baishuiguan was assassinated, and the dragons of Baishuiguan had no leader.

"Yang Su's cavalry is here again!"

Before the defenders of Baishuiguan had time to deal with the chaos after Liu An's assassination, the enemy's cavalry approached the city again!

The cavalry general Han captured the tiger, led the cavalry to lie down day and night, ran long distances, and killed a carbine!

Chaos at Whitewater Pass turns to fear.

"Yang Su, it must be the assassin sent by Yang Su to assassinate our lord!"

By now, the defenders of Baishuiguan already understood that this assassin was sent by Yang Su, and Yang Su's withdrawal was a real trap!

After Baishuiguan, the players who sent assassins to assassinate Liu An couldn't help feeling sorry for the damaged assassins.

Yao Li was a famous assassin in the Spring and Autumn Period, and some people will rank Yao Li as one of the Four Great Assassins.

A real assassin, who goes to assassinate the princes, basically never returns, because no matter whether the princes live or die, the anger of their generals will be vented on the assassins.

Yang Su saw that the assassin was so easy to use, so he said to the player: "I didn't expect to take Liu An's life so easily. I don't know if it is possible to assassinate King Xia and take his life? King Xia is in the limelight now. Sooner or later, it will be an enemy."

The player recruiting the assassin shook his head: "In order to assassinate Liu An, a legendary assassin has already been sacrificed. The guards around King Xia are not on the same level as Liu An's. Even if it is a legendary assassin, it is difficult to get close, and the assassination is difficult to succeed. Besides, how is it so easy to recruit a legendary assassin? I only have one legendary assassin left, which is useless."

There is another reason, which the player didn't say clearly.

He took advantage of the legendary assassin's character of repaying favors and ordered Yaoli to assassinate Liu An, but he did not dare to assassinate Chutian.

Assassinate Liu An, Liu An's subordinates may not be able to retaliate against him, because Liu An is no longer a powerful prince, unable to fight back, and is currently just a prince at the bottom, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered.

But Chutian is different, Chutian is the most powerful prince, not to mention the low success rate of assassins assassinating Chutian, no matter whether the assassination of Chutian succeeds or fails, he will be crazily retaliated by Chutian forces.

Players are greedy for gold and silver, but it doesn't mean they don't want their lives.

It's okay to assassinate the little princes, but it's fatal to assassinate the big princes.

Therefore, it is rare for great princes to be assassinated.
