Chapter 683: Engaging in assassination

In the deliberation hall of Beihai City.

Cao Cao personally received Sima Fang here.

No matter how Sima Fang was doing now.

But when the Great Han was not yet in chaos, he was after all the recommender who recommended Cao Cao as a Filial and Incorrupt.

In terms of face, Cao Cao naturally still had to give enough.

Besides Cao Cao, Xun Yu also sat in the deliberation hall.

As the great steward of the Cao camp and also the head of the Xun family of Yingchuan, Xun Yu's status in the Cao camp could not be shaken by anyone.

The Sima family was also an aristocratic family.

If they wanted to stay under Cao Cao's command to mix in the future.

Naturally, they needed to pay respects to the mountain of the Xun family of Yingchuan, the big brother.

After the three exchanged pleasantries.

Sima Fang sighed leisurely:

"Nephew Meng De, this world, under the stirring of Gu Linzhi and others, has become a mess of foul air."

"My Sima family truly feels powerless."

"It is truly a shame to the great grace of the Han imperial court received by our ancestors!"

This old fox Sima Fang would not say the purpose of wanting to attach himself to Cao Cao's command right away.

If that were the case.

Although the Sima family could still stay in the Cao camp.

But they would definitely be looked down upon by Cao Cao because of this.

And as the words fell.

How could Cao Cao and Xun Yu not understand Sima Fang's meaning?

After all.

In terms of rhetoric and human relationships, in the official circle of the late Han, it was a must-learn thing.

Thus, Xun Yu responded following Sima Fang's words:

"Lord Sima's words are very true."

"But Gu Linzhi's power is great; let alone my lord, even Yuan Benchu, isn't he also not Gu Linzhi's opponent?"

Before the words fell.

Sima Fang said meaningfully:

"Actually, to defeat Gu Linzhi, it is not that there is no way at all."

"It's just that in troubled times, one should be unconventional."

Hearing Sima Fang's words, the brows of both Xun Yu and Cao Cao wrinkled slightly.

Looking at this posture, this guy Sima Fang seemed to really have a way to deal with Gu Yi.

But it was just unknown how high the feasibility of this method he thought of really was.

Seeing that the appetites of Cao Cao and Xun Yu had been whetted, Sima Fang said proudly:

"Nephew Meng De, Nephew Wen Ruo, you two are both people who have read the books of sages."

"Could it be that you have forgotten the deeds of Cao Mo, Jing Ke, and others?"

Reminded by Sima Fang.

Cao Cao and Xun Yu both came back to their senses instantly.

The profession of assassin did indeed exist in the ancient feudal dynasties.

Of course, it was not as glorious and dazzling as in the moba games of later generations.

Whether a moba game can achieve a good rhythm, the assassin plays a crucial role.

But in ancient feudal dynasties, assassins generally existed in a form that could not be seen in the light.

And generally, failure cases were the majority.

After all, the people assassins generally went to assassinate were either monarchs or people in power similar to monarchs.

These people were not fools.

How could there be no defense by their side?

Speaking of this, one has to mention the country next door that lived a pretty good life.

Like the situation where someone was taken out during a public speech in that country that lived a pretty good life.

And the surrounding bodyguards reacted slowly and were still watching the show, which was a very rare case.

In fact.

The defensive strength around a monarch or person in power generally wouldn't be too weak.

And strict defense meant that the target the assassin needed to solve was not just the monarch alone.

Furthermore.

If the monarch was not a fool, after being attacked, he would definitely call more guards to come here to protect him.

At that time.

The probability of the assassin wanting to win would only further decrease.

Of course.

Assassination also depends on the specific quality and adaptability of the assassin.

In the records, cases of successful assassination also existed.

Sima Fang's strategy of "assassinating Gu Yi," heard at first, might feel a bit silly.

But thinking about it carefully, it still had a certain degree of reason.

With the vast power built by Gu Yi, it was almost completely impossible for Cao Cao and others to win on the frontal battlefield.

But if Gu Yi was solved through assassination.

The form of the world would definitely change greatly as a result!

Therefore.

After listening to Sima Fang's strategy.

Cao Cao and Xun Yu also produced a certain degree of movement in their hearts.

However, being moved is one thing.

Whether it could really be put into practice was the most important thing.

With Gu Yi's vigilance, the defensive power by his side certainly couldn't be small.

Therefore.

The swordsman sent to assassinate him must have very powerful martial arts.

Furthermore.

This assassin should try not to be from an aristocratic family.

Only in this way could he more quickly gain Gu Yi's trust.

Seeing Cao Cao and Xun Yu's worries, Sima Fang smiled slightly and added:

"The swordsman Wang Yue is an old friend of my Sima family."

"In the past, I once had grace for Wang Yue."

"Keeping his promise, he had long agreed to me."

"Given time, once there is a request, he will definitely dedicate everything for it."

"Besides Wang Yue, his two disciples are also masters of swordsmanship." ===== CHAPTER 684 =====
