Chapter 691: Chapter 533: Changing Cao Cao’s Destiny, Unifying the World

Wang Yang kept pondering; this time, the system hadn’t given any prompts, which gave Wang Yang quite a headache.

As for helping Liu Bei, he had never considered it at all.

Liu Bei, who had just been squeezed into Xiaopei by Lu Bu, spent much of his life being destitute and displaced. Following him held no future prospects.

"Hey, you there, Court Official, come with me!"

While Wang Yang was still entangled in his thoughts, a loud shout once again startled him awake.

Of course, it would be inaccurate to call it a startling; after all, every move of the comer was within Wang Yang’s grasp.

And judging by the robust figure of the man, Wang Yang recognized Jiao Province’s Xu Chu.

As Cao Cao’s personal bodyguard, renowned as a tiger-like presence, he should have been inseparable from Cao Cao’s side. His sudden appearance before Wang Yang was what baffled Wang Yang the most.

"Stop gawking, it’s you, the Prime Minister wants to see you!"

Seeing Wang Yang’s bewildered look, Xu Chu said directly.

This statement made Wang Yang even more puzzled; it was clear Xu Chu didn’t recognize him, otherwise, Xu Chu would’ve been able to call out his name.

Now saying that Cao Cao wanted to see him was even more baffling to Wang Yang.

However, baffling or not, he still had to meet Cao Cao.

"Understood!"

Wang Yang bowed, without even bothering to adjust his Armor, and went straight to where Cao Cao’s chariot was.

Just as Wang Yang lifted his leg to follow Xu Chu, when he thought there would be no more tasks, he finally heard the system’s prompt.

"Ding, detecting world..."

Then, the system’s prompt tone disappeared.

Apparently, it required some time to detect the world.

"Ding, change Cao Cao’s fate, unite the world under one rule, reward random!"

Wang Yang was startled; indeed, Cao Cao had never become Emperor and united the world. However, helping Cao Cao accomplish that was surely not going to be easy.

As Wang Yang contemplated, they had already arrived before Cao Cao. It was only then that Wang Yang got his first clear look at Cao Cao’s appearance: he was around eight-feet tall, somewhat corpulent built, with a strand of beard on his chin, and his face bore the marks of hardships.

"Has Cao Cao aged this much already? Yet, he does exude an aura of a hero!" Wang Yang inwardly commented.

Since he had chosen to help Cao Cao, he must find a way to get closer to him and gain his trust.

Even with his Earth Immortal Cultivation Level, it wasn’t possible to move mountains and bury countless armies.

Not to mention, the Heavenly Dao of this world would certainly not allow such actions.

Even changing the course of this world might attract the attention or even animosity of the Heavenly Dao.

"Who are you?" Cao Cao asked, looking at Wang Yang.

"General of the Household of the Central Court, Wang Yang!"

Wang Yang, face to face with Cao Cao, remained neither humble nor arrogant, completely different from other military generals.

Setting everything else aside, this disposition alone far surpassed many a Court Official.

"Prime Minister, this is the fellow who was lost in thought just now!"

Xu Chu, with his broad and muscular build, was utterly loyal to Cao Cao. Seeing that Wang Yang did not even kneel before Cao Cao, he was quite upset.

"Distracted? In times of warfare, when everyone is on high alert, why did you alone allow your attention to wander?"

Cao Cao’s interest was piqued—not so much by Wang Yang’s distraction, but by the way Wang Yang had carried himself upon meeting him.

He had been planning to summon the other Court Officials to take the place of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry on a scouting mission.

But it was Wang Yang’s current demeanor that made him suddenly change his mind.

To Wang Yang, this was more intimidating than anything, being summoned by Cao Cao just for being distracted was unthinkable.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, I was indeed contemplating a strategy to defeat the enemy, that’s why I was distracted."

Wang Yang quickly came up with an excuse. Fighting Yuanshu wasn’t difficult, but since Yuanshu’s bastions weren’t simple tents, an assault would naturally require a considerable commitment of troops.

In the chaos of the Three Kingdoms era, he was just another strongman.

To gain Cao Cao’s regard and help him unify the country, surely he needed to continuously expand Cao Cao’s territories.

At the same time, he could not only be limited to the military; otherwise, there’d be no future.

"A strategy to defeat the enemy? Let’s hear it. If your plan makes sense, I might give you an opportunity to rise swiftly."

Cao Cao spoke with a smirk, clearly taking Wang Yang’s words lightly.

He had initially thought Wang Yang to be quite impressive and worthy of some responsibility. But now, Cao Cao dismissed Wang Yang as merely a deluded upstart.

"If there were a special force striking directly at Shouchun with the swift ferocity of a thunderclap, capturing Shouchun quickly, then pressing forward with the main army, Yuanshu could be subdued!"

Wang Yang confidently said, "However, it’s also essential to position troops in the Jianghuai region, because once Yuanshu is defeated, Jiangdong will surely take the opportunity to send out troops. If they seize the fertile land of Jianghuai, then Jiangdong will gradually become a major concern for the Prime Minister!"

Wang Yang not only put forward current matters, but also reminded Cao Cao to take Jingzhun seriously.

Even though Cao Cao had just realized that he neglected to consider Jiangdong and the Jianghuai front, he did not value the so-called surprise attack on Shouchun.

Yuanshu proclaimed himself Emperor at Shouchun, thus Shouchun was heavily fortified. A special force thought to conquer Shouchun was nothing short of daydreaming.

"A surprise attack on Shouchun? Will you go?"

The Prime Minister smiled sardonically at Wang Yang, "If you go, I’ll give you five thousand soldiers. Should you conquer Shouchun, you’ll be credited with the primary merit!"

Wang Yang’s eyes lit up at these words.

Boss Cao was truly a kind man; if this worked out, he’d be able to climb up the ranks smoothly.

Regarding the danger, for other generals, attacking Shouchun with five thousand men was unquestionably perilous. But for Wang Yang, as long as he could reach the gates of Shouchun City, those gates might as well not exist at all.
