(ps: Sorry, the update is late...) Na Liang's blatant opposition expressed the aspirations of all those present who participated in the "horse killing" operation.
Take Sikong Chenqun as an example. He now even regrets participating in the so-called "horse-killing" operation. The originally secretive "horse-killing" operation only required one to invade the palace and seize power overnight, but now Chang'an has been
There was chaos in the city, and countless innocent people were killed and injured.
After "killing the horse", who is the real beneficiary? Chen Qun is already a very popular minister. Yang Biao and Yang Xiu cannot have the ability to replace Ma Teng and Ma Chao, let alone the Qiang people. The rest are for some purpose
The wealthy gentry, civil and military officials who participated in the "horse killing" are all nothing but clowns. In this case, everyone needs one person to stand up as the mainstay, clear all obstacles, and take over the court again.
Obviously, this beneficiary fell on Cao Cao. Cao Cao, known as "the capable minister in governing the world and the traitor in troubled times", was also the former king of Wei. In terms of strategy and military bravery, he was superior to everyone, let alone him.
His subordinates are even more talented.
However, after taking control of power, will Cao Cao still treat himself like Ma Chao?
Chen Qun was filled with doubts. The matter had reached this point and was irreversible. He saw the outcome of the development of the matter. If the killing of the horse ended without any problem, with Ma Chao's personality, he would probably kill all the people who participated in the rebellion. Then
The Chen family cannot survive.
He glanced at Yang Xiu, his best friend. If he hadn't walked back and forth in the middle, he would still be Sikong of the Qin State, or Chen Qun, who was in charge of government affairs. Ma's trust in him was far greater than that of Yang.
Unfortunately, he believed Yang Xiu's words and did not stand firm, leaning towards the rebels.
Yang Xiu, who was standing aside, seemed to see Chen Qun's inner turmoil. He moved towards Chen Qun and said softly: "Chang Wen, we have reached this point. We can only go against the current. If we don't advance, we will retreat. Once
If we retreat, the whole family will suffer. The Marquis of Wei is a hero in this world because of his great talent and great strategy. If he is not the master, who can have this ability?"
Chen Qun is a loyal and honest person. He always adheres to the word "moderate" in dealing with everything. He cannot go too far in everything. This is the benchmark for his actions. Therefore, he has always opposed the execution of Ma Teng, Ma Chao and others.
He didn't know why he believed Yang Xiu's words and fell into this fog. It wasn't until today, until this moment, that he suddenly realized that Yang Xiu's intentions were really insidious, and this was the real killing with a borrowed knife.
Just imagine, once Cao Cao took power, Yang Xiu's role in the entire "horse killing" operation was far greater than anyone else, because it was he who persuaded Shenlang Qiang and Baima Qiang's Qiang with his sharp tongue.
King, it was he who successfully persuaded the candidates, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin and many other civil and military officials of the Qin State.
He serves as a liaison in the middle, mediating the conflicts and discords between different forces. It is he who wants to help Cao Cao rise to the throne. In this way, Yang Xiu is indispensable. If Cao Cao comes to power, his Yang family will inevitably be invincible.
His indelible achievements made him a highly favored minister in one fell swoop, just as Ma Chao trusted Chen Qun.
Chen Qun sighed, shook his head, and thought to himself: "It turns out that I have been being used..."
An evil smile appeared on Yang Xiu's face. After listening to Qiang King Naliang's words, he immediately stood up and said loudly: "The Marquis of Wei has a great talent and a lot of talents. If he is the leader, great things can be done."
Everyone heard this and understood in their hearts that at this time, whoever is in charge may become the actual power controller after the horse-killing operation is successful.
Everyone had their own secrets in their hearts. Everyone looked at each other and no one said a word.
"Niang Xipi! For this operation, I, the Xiqiang, sent more than 200,000 troops. Why should Cao Cao be the leader? I should be the leader! Cao Mengde, do you think so?" Na Liang immediately shouted.
Cao Cao and Na Liang once had a sworn relationship with Jinlan, which few people know. However, at that time, Cao Cao only wanted to weaken Ma Chao. Cutting off the support of the Qiang people was equivalent to Ma Chao breaking an arm. Putting this arm on his own body
, which was even more powerful than a tiger. After hearing Na Liang’s cry, he laughed and said, “Your Majesty, you don’t have to
Angry, everyone knows your credit for this matter tacitly. Even if you don't say it, everyone knows that you, King Naliang of Western Qiang, have many soldiers and generals. However, once the Qiang people meet Ma Chao, they will all be afraid.
If we retreat without fighting, why don't we Han people come forward? Besides, I have a tiger idiot who can kill Ma Chao, can you kill Ma Chao?"
That Liangqi was so angry that when he made the sworn vows, he had promised that once successful, he could replace Ma Chao and become the emperor. Now that Cao Cao suddenly appeared to compete with him, how could he be willing? He blew his beard and glared angrily.
He immediately pointed at Cao Cao's nose
Zi said: "Cao Mengde, what did you say when you made the sworn vows? Do you want to regret it now? If you don't agree with me as the master, then I will quit. At worst, I will take my people to 'kill the horse' myself."
Anyway, if I have more soldiers, I can surround them with more horses than them and kill them to death."
As soon as he finished speaking, Na Liang turned to leave.
Cao Cao winked at Xu Chu, and Xu Chu understood. He moved his tiger body and immediately blocked the door of the tent. He opened his arms and shouted loudly: "No one can leave here without my lord's order!"
When Na Liang saw Xu Chu, he was surprised and asked: "You...what do you want to do? I am the King of Qiang!"
"Even the emperor can't even think of walking out from here!" Xu Chu roared.
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming!" Na Liang had seen Xu Chu and Ma Chao fight with his own eyes. This guy was on par with Ma Chao. There was no way he could beat Xu Chu. He immediately shouted outside the tent.
However, his words were like silence, and he suddenly remembered that there were all Cao Cao's subordinates outside the tent, and he forgot to bring them with him when he came.
"Brother Na Liang, don't be so hasty, let's sit down and talk." Cao Cao came from behind, put his arms around Na Liang's shoulders, and said with a smile.
Na Liang noticed at this moment that the six generals Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen in the tent all had angry expressions on their faces, and held their weapons tightly with their hands. He felt a thump in his heart. The hero did not want to suffer the immediate loss, so he had to
He bit the bullet and sat down.
After Cao Cao comforted Na Liang, he turned around, looked around at everyone present, and said: "From now on, I, Cao Cao, have the final say. All you have to do is listen to me. If you have anything to do, let the messenger go and pass the message. No.
My orders are that no one can leave here."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and only now did they understand that the wolf was being lured into the house. Except for Yang Xiu, everyone else looked worried.
Yang Xiu immediately interjected: "Don't get me wrong, Wei Marquis doesn't mean that. Wei Marquis is worried about everyone's safety. Ma Chao is brave, and his Yulin army is the most elite army. The weapons and equipment are very sophisticated. In case they
If you rush out, with these powerful generals here, we will definitely be able to protect you."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "That's what I mean. However, instead of everyone being uncertain about paying attention, it is better to listen to one person now. I promise everyone that we will defeat the enemy tonight! Kill all the Ma family to avoid future troubles!"
Yang Xiu was the first to raise his arms and shouted: "The Marquis of Wei is mighty!"
Due to the pressure, it took a while before someone started shouting, and they all shouted: "The Marquis of Wei is mighty!"
There was no momentum at all in his voice, and he was shouting so reluctantly.
"Louder! I can't hear you!" Cao Cao's face darkened, his eyes shot out two cold rays, and he scanned the crowd.
The crowd then turned up the volume a little louder and shouted: "The Marquis of Wei is mighty!"
Chen Qun kept sighing and shaking his head. He sat there with dull eyes and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Na Liang was also filled with anger, breathing heavily, and stared at Cao Cao fiercely.
Cao Cao saw the performance of Chen Qun and Na Liang and ignored them. Chen Qun had lost power and Na Liang was under control. As long as it was in his hands, he could do whatever he wanted.
He said loudly: "Everyone, take a rest for a while. I'll be back soon."
After saying this, Cao Cao immediately turned around and left the tent.
Yang Xiu hurriedly followed, but was stopped by Xu Chu, so Yang Xiu hurriedly shouted: "Marquis Wei!"
Cao Cao turned around and saw Yang Xiu, and signaled Xu Chu to let Yang Xiu out.
Yang Xiu came to Cao Cao and immediately said: "Marquis Wei, can you take a step to speak?"
Cao Cao nodded and took Yang Xiu to an open space. After looking around, he said, "If you have anything to say, just say it here."
Yang Xiudao: "Marquis Wei, don't forget our agreement!"
Cao Cao smiled and nodded, and said: "Don't worry, as long as I take control of the power, your Yang family's status will definitely become the best in the country. However, even if Chang'an is captured, Zhang Xiu of Wudu and Suo Xu of Hanzhong will still be there.
, if they don’t surrender, I’m afraid that neighboring countries will take advantage of the situation and move in.”
Yang Xiudao: "Don't worry, Marquis Wei. I have a clever plan of my own. I have already sent people to Wudu and Hanzhong to falsely convey the imperial edict, summon Zhang Xiu, and go to Chang'an. If Chang'an can be successfully captured tonight, we will not be able to defeat him until the end."
In two days, Zhang Xiu and Suo Xu will definitely arrive in Chang'an and be buried on the roadside.
Ambush, ambush the two of them. As long as the two of them die, Wudu and Hanzhong will be leaderless. All they need to do is appoint a general to take office. Now that the roads to both places have been closed, it is impossible for the news to spread. The Marquis of Wei only needs to
Using this time difference, you can become the master of the entire Qin Kingdom in one fell swoop!"
"No! It's Wei!"
Yang Xiuyin smiled and said: "Yes, that's right, it's Wei!"
Cao Cao patted Yang Xiu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are so smart at a young age. You couldn't help dragging Chen Qun into the water, and you also helped me complete the great cause of restoring the country. This contribution is really too great, and I can't help but drag it down."
I don’t know how I should reward you.”
"There is no need to reward more, just let me, the Yang family, restore my former status. I, the fourth generation and the third Duke of the Yang family, although my father is a very popular minister, it is an empty title. As long as the Marquis of Wei treats my Yang family well, the Yang family will definitely
I will do my best to assist the Marquis of Wei."
Cao Cao smiled and didn't say anything. He looked at Yang Xiu, and a strange light burst out in his eyes.
Let’s go into the account and discuss the strategy in detail.”
"Yes!" Yang Xiu responded and re-entered the tent with Cao Cao.
