In "The Sword in the Snow", the Liyang Dynasty ended the chaotic situation of the Dispute between the Nine Kingdoms and unified the world, while Xu Xiao, the king of Northern Liang, single-handedly destroyed the Six Kingdoms, including the Western Chu of the Taiping Princess Jiang Ni.
When Cao Changqing of Western Chu qi returned to the palace, he saw the ruins of the palace and the corpses of Western Chu warriors and her sweetheart, Empress Western Chu.
From then on, Cao Changqing began a plan of revenge, gathering the remnants of Western Chu while practicing martial arts to carry out assassinations.
Confucian Saint Cao Changqing assassinated Emperor Liyang 3 times and retreated, but he never assassinated Xu Xiao, what was Cao Changqing afraid of?
In fact, the danger of Northern Liang is really far better than the Yang Palace, and Cao Changqing can easily enter and exit the Palace, but may not dare to "disturb" the Northern Liang Palace.
First of all, the Northern Liang Palace was heavily guarded.
In the TV series, the protagonist is Xu Fengnian, so other scenes are weakened, in fact, the Northern Liang Palace is really heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to enter.
Usually, only Shizi dared to take strangers in and out of the Northern Liang King's Mansion, others did not have this privilege at all, Xu Zhihu could not do it, it can be said that the Northern Liang King's Mansion could not even fly a bird in.
In addition, even if Xu Fengnian brought someone into the Northern Liang King's Mansion, Beiliang's spy system could also scrutinize the bottom of this person, and the same was true for the "White Fox Face".
Without checking the details, Xu Xiao would never go near this stranger, which is why Xu Xiao has never talked to the Nangong servant in the play.
Secondly, Xu Xiao has many "life preservers" on his body.
Emperor Liyang was a weak scholar, but Xu Xiao was a "human slaughter" who had been in the battlefield for a long time. What kind of life and death have not been experienced?
In addition, for his own safety, Xu Xiao established the Tingchao Pavilion, collected martial arts secrets, and cultivated dead soldiers; at the same time, he invited various masters to protect Beiliang through his connections.
Among them, the Twelve Lands Branch was the dead soldier who protected Xu Xiao, and Jian Jiuhuang, Li Chungang, and other unseen masters were the masters invited by Xu Xiao to sit in the Northern Liang Palace.
Finally, there was li yishan, a strategist in the northern Liang palace.
Li Yishan is not a terrible person, what is terrible is his "one step and ten calculations", he has green ants in one hand, drops in the other hand, and spends his life only for the sake of Northern Liang.
Such a strategist likes to use heaven and earth as a chessboard, take the people's hearts as chess pieces, and lay out the whole world, and a single Cao Changqing is not enough to plug the gap between his teeth.
In the play, Li Yishan uses the nine swords of the sword Nine Yellows as a chess piece, easily drops, and also cultivates Grandpa Wei, a formation master who will be a Qimen Dunjia and five elements of gossip.
It can be said that Cao Changqing is not afraid of anyone fighting alone, but in terms of planning, he is no better than Li Yishan.
Some friends may ask, is the degree of defense of the Liyang Dynasty inferior to that of the Northern Liang Dynasty?
In fact, the defense is not bad, even much stronger than the Northern Liang King's Palace, but no matter how strong the defensiveness is, it is also man-made, and where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
The Liyang Dynasty is famous for "what to do, the first place in infighting", the emperor is old, the princes are vying for power and the throne, the ministers are taking sides in power, and the people are afraid.
No matter how strict the guard is, there are loopholes, which may be why Xu Xiao destroyed the Six Kingdoms alone, while the Yang Dynasty destroyed the Three Kingdoms.
In my opinion:
Cao Changqing did not want to assassinate Xu Xiao, but the degree of difficulty far exceeded that of assassinating the Emperor of Liyang, the real gun was actually fighting, Xu Xiao was not Cao Changqing's opponent, but playing strategy, Cao Changqing was not as good as Li Yishan.
Since Xu Xiao went to the capital and almost couldn't return to Beiliang, he had been living in seclusion and did not leave a chance for the assassins, not to mention that there was a "life preserver" around.
Killing Xu Xiao may take his life, which is a result that Cao Changqing does not want, because he still wants to keep his life to prove the innocence of The Western Chu Empress to the world.
Unfortunately, Confucian Saint Cao Changqing spent his whole life working hard for the restoration of Western Chu, and in the end, it was still a void!
Do you think that between Emperor Liyang and Xu Xiao, which one is easier to assassinate? Welcome to leave a message!
