Sima Yi's nature is to be ruthless enough.

Even the world of the old Cao family can be rebelled, and there is nothing that can be done.

In his opinion, Wang Xiao is now in a big situation, and ordinary means are useless at all.

Cao Pi wants to turn over, and directly destroying Wang Xiao is the best choice.

However, this is difficult to do, because Wang Xiao's own strength is very strong, and he is cautious, and it is almost impossible to be hit.

In addition, the only way left is to take advantage of Wang Xiao's entangled in fighting abroad, and quickly cut through the chaos to determine the righteous name of the country.

Naturally, it is very cruel to do this, but if they are not cruel, then they will be finished.

Even if Wang Xiao gives them a chance to survive, they can only be a man in this life, which is unacceptable to them after enjoying it.

Under the repeated persuasion of everyone, Cao Pi, who was already black, became more and more black.

Wang Xiao's leisurely life in Yecheng is a good life.

Now he doesn't need to do anything, just accumulate strength with peace of mind.

He watched silently from the sidelines, watching how Boss Cao cleaned up those family gate valves wave by wave.

The Chen family, the Sima family, the Cui family, and even the Xun family all suffered blows.

Cao Cao also wrote to Xu Du several times, scolding Cao Pi for his ineffective work.

This practice is deliberately stimulating Cao Pi and making him speed up the merge with the family. is also giving the family a chance to choose Cao Pi.

Wang Xiao now roughly understands why Cao Zhi in history failed to win the throne.

Cao Zhi's ability is there, but unfortunately he doesn't have Cao Cao's ruthlessness to achieve his goals.

Without this ruthlessness, there is no way to fight against the family.

In addition, Cao Cao recruited talents on a large scale and formally proposed the meritocracy, which is completely different from the current family recommendation system.

Dahan's current way of raising talents is to rely on fame to recommend.

Those who can worry about food and clothing are all children of the family. The ministers who can recommend talents are also the children of the family.

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that the world in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was the world of famous families.

Under Cao Cao's strict order, Northwest Ma Teng brought his family to live in Xudu. and soon connected with the forces opposing Cao Cao.

Boss Cao ignored this on the surface, but secretly he was preparing to do it.

As for Wang Xiao, it was at this time that he ushered in an old friend.

"Yuan Zhi, don't come for a long time?"

Wang Xiao laughed and got up, and came down to greet Xu Shu, who looked embarrassed.

During the Battle of Changbanpo, Wang Xiao took the tiger and leopard cavalry to capture many important family members of Liu Beijun.

In addition to Liu Yuanjun's daughter, there is also Xu Shu's mother.

When he let Xu Shu go before, Wang Xiao once made an appointment with him, and when he wrote to him when he was in need, then Xu Yuanzhi would have to help him do something.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Shu naturally wouldn't care about this kind of agreement. But let his mother be taken away.

Wang Xiao wrote a letter to Xu Shu, just mentioning a few words about your mother's life here, and Xu Shu had to come.

As a filial son, between his mother and his father-in-law, Xu Shu chose family affection.

Wang Xiao still admires such a person who values love and righteousness.

"Zijian Gongzi is polite." Xu Shu responded awkwardly. Especially when he saw Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan not far away, both of them were embarrassed.

"Hmm." Wang Xiao, who was pacing with his hands behind his back, except for the beard without a face, was almost the same as King Wei in terms of bearing and momentum, "Yuan Zhi is a filial son, which is admirable." People in the world will not say anything. You can rest assured, when he marches south to Liu Yuanjun, he will not let you be embarrassed. ”

What else could Xu Shu say, he could only smile wryly and give his hand, "Thank you Gongzi for your success." ”

"Shiyuan." Wang Xiao greeted Pang Tong, who bowed his head and was silent, "You and Yuan Zhi are friends." Now that he is an official in the same dynasty, he has to take good care of him. ”

"Oh." Pang Tong, who has always been known for his ability to speak well, and even Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu, who can even speak, are angry and corrupt, and he is also very twisted at this moment, "The minister knows." ”

Pang Tong and Xu Shu used to work for Liu Bei.

But because of various reasons, he had to play for Liu Bei's opponent at the same time.

It's nothing to a person who will do whatever it takes to get there. But for people who value love and righteousness, it will be very embarrassing.

"Dezu." Wang Xiao greeted Yang Xiu, who was watching the excitement on the sidelines, "Yuan Zhi joined the army for the Shizifu Record, you send Yuan Zhi to see his mother to fulfill his filial piety." All aspects of food, clothing and daily life must be arranged, and no slackening should be made. ”

Yang Xiu, who originally ate melons and watched the excitement, suddenly had a bitter face.

This Xu Shu is the same as that Pang Tong, and he is in a high position as soon as he comes. But I can only do some logistical chores, is it to be marginalized?

If Wang Xiao knew what he was thinking, he would definitely comfort him.

Your usefulness is still very great, at least in terms of praise, it is definitely the level of the ultimate demon king.

The son-in-law of the commander of the Mongolian Navy is no match for you.

Xu Shu said goodbye and left to find his mother. As a filial son, he is indeed very worried.

When the two of them went out, Wang Xiao turned to Pang Tong and said, "Say." ”

"Shizi, Prime Minister Cao Cheng has ordered Ma Teng's family to be imprisoned."

Pang Tong is now in charge of the school administration instead of Wang Xiao, and this kind of thing is within his responsibility.

In fact, in Wang Xiao's opinion, the most suitable person for this position is Jia Xu's old yin man.

It's just that this smart man is too clever and resolutely refuses to get involved in these things. Even if Wang Xiao has become the son of the world to win him over, he still pretends to be deaf and dumb as if he hasn't heard anything.

In desperation, he had to let Pang Tong take the lead.

"You mean, the prime minister is going to attack Guanzhong?"

"Yes."

Now that most of Jingzhou has fallen into Liu Bei's hands, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan spent so much energy, but in the end, Mao couldn't get one.

And Cao Cao didn't want to go south to face the epidemic until the navy had enough combat effectiveness. So the eyes are on the west.

The area around Guanzhong has withered for many years, and at this time, since the destruction of Dong Zhuo's remnants, it has become the territory of many small forces led by Ma Teng Han Sui.

Cao Cao's forces only reached Tongguan, and when he had no goal for the time being, he decided to pacify the northwest first and open up the passage to the Western Regions.

Since the Thirteen Warriors returned to the Jade Gate, there has been no major war in the Western Regions for many years.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the Western Regions had been isolated for a long time. Prime Minister Cao Cheng wanted to pacify Liangzhou and then open the road to the Western Regions.

In the middle of Liangzhou Guan, the strongest are Ma Teng's eldest son Ma Chao and his brother-in-law Han Sui.

Attacking that side, Ma Teng, who was a guard lieutenant in the court, must have to go to prison first.

Moreover, Ma Teng has close contacts with the anti-Cao Cao forces, and Cao Cao is also ready to use him as an implication to start the prelude to attacking the famous family.

Pang Tong saluted and said, "Shizi, the minister thought that this time the prime minister would be dominated by Shizi and send troops to Guanzhong." ”

After returning to the case, he sat down, Wang Xiao looked at him, "You can also see it?" ”

Pang Tong smiled bitterly: "The minister is not a dull person. The king of Wei intended to increase the military power in the hands of the prince. And it is also necessary to crack down on the famous family. At this time, of course, it is to keep the prince away from distractions and avoid these things. ”

This time it was Wang Xiao's turn to be surprised: "You even know that the prime minister is going to attack the famous family?" ”

"The king of Wei proposed to be meritocracy, and to educate generally. The technology of movable type printing was also developed, and a large number of books were printed to open schools. There is no shortage of these things in famous families, and they can only be prepared for the children of poor families. The children of the family will definitely not watch it, they will definitely fight back. ”

Wang Xiao was silent for a while and asked, "Which side do you think can win?" ”

After thinking about it, Pang Tong said, "If nothing else, King Wei will win." ”

The reason does not need to be said, because Cao Cao held the barrel of a gun in his hand. There are soldiers, generals and food, no matter how strong the family is, it will not be Cao Cao's opponent.

Because Cao Cao can choose to turn his face and flip the table, shuffle the cards and start again.

"No accidents..."Wang Xiao was a little worried, "What if there is an accident." ”

"Then it depends on how Prince Zihuan chooses."

Boss Cao has a lot of sons, but only Wang Xiao and Cao Pi can really be useful.

Although the remaining Cao Zhang has some influence in the army, he definitely has no ability to influence the situation.

The rest of Cao Xiong, Cao Lin, Cao Biao and others were useless.

If something happens to Boss Cao, Cao Pi chooses to take advantage of the situation, that is, to start a war on both sides. If you choose to follow Cao Cao's orders and wait for the return of the prince to inherit the great cause, it will be a bloody revenge.

Wang Xiao laughed: "I already know how he will choose." ”

Pang Tong was also laughing, "The minister also knows it." ”

After laughing for a while, Wang Xiao whispered, "King Wei will be fine in Yecheng, if something really happens, it can only be when he goes to Xudu." This time I will go to Guanzhong, Shiyuan, you stay in Yecheng, no matter what, you have to stay here, wait for me to come back. ”

Pang Tong stood up and saluted respectfully, "Please rest assured, the prince of the world, he will live up to the trust." ”

Wang Xiao thought for a while, and instructed again, "If the situation is in crisis, you can use the things in the dojo." ”

"Shizi means those fire-breathing sticks?"

"That's right. Although there are not many of them, they can be used to defend the city. ”

Wang Xiao finally didn't have to worry about money anymore, and the masters everywhere began to accept his orders.

The dojo was moved from Xudu to Yecheng, and after gaining enough support, it finally began to produce epoch-making new weapons.

Although the production volume is small because of the hand-made, at least the difference between there and non-existence can be solved.

With this thing, as long as it is not as stupid as a pig, it is difficult for Wang Xiao to lose.

As for Pang Tong, who didn't think so, Wang Xiao didn't explain to him the power of epoch-making technology.

Only when they have seen this kind of thing with their own eyes will they know what it means to be powerful.

Just as Wang Xiao and the others speculated, two months later, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, officially gave the order. Wang Xiao served as the main general, Xun You was the military advisor, Cao Chun was the vanguard, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He were the generals, and they went out of Tongguan to pacify Guanzhong.

What is surprising is that Cao Cao even sent his personal guard Xu Chu to Wang Xiao's side.

Wang Xiao was a little moved by this, but also a little uneasy.

At the beginning of the battle of Wancheng, it was because of Dian Wei's desperate protection that Cao Cao was able to escape.

Now that Cao Cao has sent Xu Chu, who is at the same level as Dian Wei, to himself, he will definitely be in trouble if he encounters danger.

After thinking about it, Wang Xiao left the mansion and went to the Wei Palace. He was going to persuade Cao Cao to retract his fate.
