Chapter 30
The princes from all walks of life discussed together, but they had not discussed it for a long time. The demands of all parties were different, and everyone had selfish intentions. How could a loose alliance reach a consensus?
Not to mention discussing for one day, even if it is discussed for a year, there will be no result.
Cao Cao was a little exhausted.
If this continues, there is no need for the Western Liang army to attack, and the coalition of princes will sooner or later disperse. Cao Cao falsely passed the emperor's secret edict and summoned all the princes to attack Dong Zhuo, but now he realizes how difficult it is to combine the power of all the princes into one.
In fact, Cao Cao has done a pretty good job. If someone else comes, he will definitely not be able to do this level.
...
Cao Cao found Wang Xiyao and smiled bitterly, "Brother Xiyao, you are so powerful. As soon as you come, you will make all the princes restless. With you helping to plan, Dong Zhuo will win. Dismantling the enemy from within is the most clever way to defeat the enemy. Brother foolishly admires it."
Wang Xiyao said, "Brother Meng De, you have praised me. I am a swordsman. I don't know much about military and national affairs, and I am not good at scrutinizing people's hearts. How can I do these things? All I do are Mr. Wenhe's plans."
Cao Cao asked curiously: "Mr. Wenhe, is the Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe you asked me to look for before?"
Wang Xiyao nodded and said, "It's him. This person is knowledgeable and very strategic."
Cao Cao was silent for a while and said, "Brother Xi Yao, what do you want to do? Stripping the coalition forces of the princes will only make the traitor Dong Zhuo profitable. Staying with Dong Zhuo and being worried all day long, have you not lived enough such a cowardly life?"
Wang Xiyao stared at Cao Cao and asked, "Brother Meng De, tell me the truth, what is your ambition?"
Cao Cao said: "Of course, it is to support the Han Dynasty! It will give everyone the world a bright world."
Wang Xiyao said: "I hope Brother Meng De, you are telling the truth. OK. Then I will tell you about Mr. Wenhe's plan to formulate the 'Snake Swallowing Elephant'. Because this plan is implemented, you still need your help and cooperation from Brother Meng De."
After hearing Jia Xu's plan, Cao Cao was stunned.
Princess Wannian, Wang Xiyao, Jia Xu. The three of them wanted to swallow hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops?!
Kill Dong Zhuo and seize the military power of the Western Liang army!
This plan...crazi enough.
Isn't it just a snake swallowing an elephant?
The "Snake Swallows Elephant" plan is really vivid.
Cao Cao took a deep breath and said, "It's just you three? Brother Xi Yao, do you think it can be successful?"
Wang Xiyao said: "It's not three people, our core team is five."
Cao Cao asked, "Who are the other two?"
Wang Xiyao: "You, and Your Majesty."
With Cao Cao's wisdom, I figured it out at once.
With His Majesty, it is equivalent to mastering the great power.
In addition, he was an insider in the coalition of princes, and believed that "debating Dong" would give up halfway and leave it alone.
When the coalition of princes dispersed and Jia Xu completed the layout, Wang Xiyao killed Dong Zhuo as soon as the time came. Then he took out his Majesty's imperial edict and could take over the military power of the Western Liang army without bloodshed.
The bandits in the Western Liang army remained unchanged, but after all, they were still the army of the Han Dynasty. The imperial edicts still had a strong deterrence and comfort to the middle and lower-level officers of the Western Liang army.
This plan.
feasible.
Absolutely feasible!
Cao Cao asked, "Why did you choose me, Cao Mengde?"
Wang Xiyao said: "Because we don't have a better candidate. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, too many innocent people died. The world urgently needs to settle down."
"It is true that the Han Dynasty is powerful, but it cannot withstand constant back and forth struggles. Brother Meng De, you have great ambitions, ability, courage, big enough, decisive in doing things, and the ability of the prime minister. Your Highness and the eldest princess are both optimistic about you."
"Brother Meng De, if you can command hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops, how long will it take to resolve the situation of the separatist situation of heroes?"
What's the meaning?
Could it be that His Highness the Princess and Wang Xiyao decided to let themselves command the Xiliang army? Cao Cao was so excited that his whole body began to tremble.
Wang Xiyao gave Cao Cao a reassurance and said, "Brother Meng De, my words are what you guessed in your heart. We need your talent, or the Han Dynasty court needs your talent and ability to govern the country."
"If the 'Snake Swallowing Elephant' plan is successful, Brother Mengde, you can take charge of the Xiliang Army for a year. If you do well and can keep the situation in a year, then Your Majesty and Your Highness the Princess will continue to support you. If you, Cao Mengde, don't have that ability, Your Majesty and Your Highness the Princess will choose someone else to do it."
Cao Cao's eyes flashed and he said domineeringly: "Brother Xi Yao, if Cao could mobilize and command the Xiliang army, I can not only control the situation, but also take only fifteen years... No, ten years, only ten years, I can wipe out the princes and warlords in the Han Dynasty and give the Han Dynasty a bright world! Give the people a peaceful and prosperous era."
Cao Cao was short, but his aura was not weak. He had a hint of the mighty spirit of a hero.
Wang Xiyao said: "Brother Meng De, as long as you have confidence."
Cao Cao said, "Brother Xi Yao, I want to meet His Highness the Princess."
Wang Xiyao said: "Yes. Your Highness the Princess also secretly came to Hulao Pass this time. I will arrange the meeting with her. However, I want to remind Brother Meng De that the 'Snake Swallowing Elephant' plan is in progress. Before the final success is achieved, it is a top secret. You must not disclose it. Otherwise, Your Majesty and Your Highness the Princess will be very angry and the consequences will be very serious."
Cao Cao said: "Don't worry, brother Xi Yao, even if he dies, brother Yu will not reveal the plan of 'snake swallowing elephant'."
...
Baimayi came from the hillside behind the military camp.
Wang Xiyao is competing with Zhao Yun in martial arts.
Buzz.
Zhao Zilong's spear was as gentle as the dragon, and instantly arrived at Wang Xiyao's throat, giving Wang Xiyao no chance to hide.
The air rubbed rapidly, and the sharp spear tip was shaking slightly with a scorching breath.
If the spear only needs to move forward half an inch, Wang Xiyao will have life worries.
Wang Xiyao held the wooden sword in his hand, his pupils shrank slightly, and beads of sweat rolled down from his chin and dripped onto the sharp spear tip.
Wang Xiyao took a step back and smiled bitterly: "Brother Zilong, I lost. Your strength and spear skills are above me. If you really want to fight, I may not even have a chance to escape in front of you."
I have to admit that there are really geniuses in this world.
Zhao Yun is a true martial arts and gun genius.
A spear weighing more than fifty pounds was in Zhao Zilong's hand, as flexible as an embroidery needle. When he used the gun technique, he seemed to have no effort.
Growing weapons has huge advantages.
One inch long, one inch strong.
With the spear in Zhao Yun's hands, Wang Xiyao could not think of getting close to him within ten feet of his range.
It seems that the scope of the spear is the world controlled by Zhao Zilong.
Such gun technique is really terrible.
At this moment, Zhao Yun was only nineteen years old.
However, Zhao Yun's achievements in martial arts and guns are levels that many people will never reach in their lifetime of hard practice.
I really don’t know how powerful Zhao Zilong can understand the realm of unity of man and gun in the future, and his martial arts reach its peak?
Perhaps, it is not impossible to surpass Lu Bu now.
Wang Xiyao said in his heart: "I am not strong enough. I still need to continue working hard."
Zhao Yun took back his spear and said, "I followed my master up the mountain to learn guns at the age of six. At the age of thirteen, I reached the microscope at the age of thirteen, and mastered the artistic conception at the age of sixteen. Half a year ago, the gun was perfected. And I have been practicing Qi for more than ten years, so it is normal for me to be stronger."
"Young Master Xiyao, you have only learned swordsmanship for four years, and you have been thinking about it most of the time. It is already amazing that you can practice swordsmanship and martial arts to such a level. If you have been with Master Wang Yue for more than ten years, your martial arts will definitely be better than mine."
If you lose, Wang Xiyao will not be depressed. As long as you do not relax and make progress every day, sooner or later, Wu Yi will catch up with Zhao Zilong.
Wang Xiyao asked: "Brother Zilong, who is stronger, my mentor or your master?"
Zhao Zilong said: "Their martial arts... are incomparable. They have their own winning or losing in their martial arts. Your master is the state of unity of man and sword, and my master is the unity of man and gun. In my opinion, it may be difficult for them to truly decide the winner. Unless they have a life-and-death duel, they are not enemies, and there is no need to do it."
Um?
Zhao Yun looked around and saw a general of the Western Liang army riding a war horse to the camp of the princes and shouting loudly.
Wang Xiyao's vision is beyond ordinary people. Practicing guidance techniques and five animal plays can not only strengthen the body, but also restore and improve vision.
The magic of guiding techniques remains to be explored and explored.
Wang Xiyao recognized who this Xiliang general was at a glance?
"Huaxiong."
Wang Xiyao said with a calm expression.
Zhao Yun asked: "Who is Hua Xiong?"
Wang Xiyao said: "General Xiliang. He is one of the generals under Dong Zhuo's command and has great combat power. Once Hua Xiong picked up the sword and rode the war horse, I am no match for him."
Swordsmen and generals fight on the battlefield, they will definitely suffer losses.
When he saw Hua Xiong killing two generals in the coalition of princes in a row, Zhao Yun couldn't help but hold the spear tightly.
Wang Xiyao said: "Brother Zilong, are you a little unwilling to accept it? The two people who died under Hua Xiong's sword have very ordinary martial arts, but after they are valued by the princes, they have the opportunity to fight Hua Xiong. Even if they die, they will die as much as possible. After all, it is a kind of honor to die in front of the military formation."
"But brother Zilong, please follow General Gongsun Zan, don't say that you can fight Huaxiong and gain a chance to become famous all over the world. Even when the princes discuss matters, you don't have the qualifications to stand by and listen. What a pity for your good martial arts."
Zhao Yun frowned. Obviously, Wang Xiyao's words touched him a little.
Wang Xiyao said: "Brother Zilong, if you want to fight, I can ask General Cao Mengde to think of a solution. Cao Mengde recommends you, and the coalition forces will definitely send you to fight Huaxiong."
Zhao Yun stared at Wang Xiyao and asked, "Young Master Xiyao, who are you? What kind of identity do you have?"
Wang Xiyao said, "I have many identities. I am a disciple of the Sword Saint and have been the lord of the Sword Hall. I used to be the Grand Tutor of the Last Emperor and His Majesty. I am now the guard of Dong Zhuo. At the same time, I am also working for His Majesty and the eldest princess."
Zhao Yun was a little shocked. Wang Xiyao and the late emperor, Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo, and the eldest princess were all related!
So, what kind of person is Wang Xiyao?
Wang Xiyao turned around and left, and said as he walked, "Zilong, if you are interested, I will take you to see someone tomorrow."
Who did you meet? Wang Xiyao didn't say anything.
