Chapter 67: A Foolproof Strategy
When Master Huang saw the car full of heads, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, could this be ...... The head of the three thousand diners?
Tai Shici under the city grabbed a human head, shook it hard, and the human head flew up the city wall.
Master Huang was so frightened that he ducked to the side, and the human head rolled to his feet.
I saw that the man's hair was wide and his eyes widened, and it was the head of his distant nephew.
It's over, it's all over, and the last glimmer of hope is gone.
Master Huang's figure shook, and he fell to his knees on the ground, but this time there was no little servant to help him.
It turned out that the dozen or so little guys realized that the Huang family was going to be destroyed nine times out of ten, and they didn't want to be beheaded with them, so they ran down the city wall early and opened the door to welcome Cao Jun.
In the Huang Mansion, Han Hao sat triumphantly on the top.
Master Huang knelt in front of him like a defeated rooster and trembled.
"Lao Huang, you don't know how to lift up," Han Hao looked like a villain, and said with a smile: "I waited all the way to do business with you, but you turned us away, what is the reason?" β
Master Huang smiled weakly and bitterly: "The general said that he laughed, the lives of more than 300 people of the Huang family, old and young, are all in the hands of the general, what does the general like, why humiliate me?" β
In this era, the conventional approach to rebellion is naturally to kill all the men, rob all the women, and confiscate all the family property.
It's a pity that he has no room for resistance now.
"Hey, do you think we're bandits?" Han Hao's eyes widened and said, "Doing business is doing business, what do you do with your life?" β
"Won't the general kill me?" Master Huang looked at Han Hao with surprise and delight.
Han Haoyi said solemnly: "We are honest businessmen, but we want to sell those 3,000 heads to you."
There are two stone grains per head, a total of 6,000 stone grains, and the price is fair and reasonable. β
"Six thousand stone grain?" Master Huang was taken aback, one stone is equivalent to 100 catties, and 6,000 stones is 600,000 catties, which is to hollow out several granaries in his family.
"What? Too much? Han Hao raised his eyebrows.
"No, no, no, no more, no more," Master Huang hurriedly shook his head.
For him, it is a blessing to hand over all the food stored at home and save the lives of the whole family.
β¦β¦
Two days later, in the public house of the Assassin's Mansion, Cao Cao invited Yanzhou civil and military affairs.
Liu Ping was also called, and only after arriving did he know that Cao Cao was going to prepare to conquer the wealthy clans in Zhuzhou County.
Although the main rebel forces of the various wealthy clans have been wiped out, all the families are watching each other, especially the head of the Huang clan, the head of the wealthy clan in Taishan County.
Opinions on the scene were divided into two factions.
The military generals led by Cao Ren advocated simplicity and directness, sent troops to push sideways, and made a fortune easily, anyway, the wealthy clans had no ability to resist.
The civil officials headed by Cheng Yu thought far-reaching, advocating salute first and then soldiers, and sent people to persuade the wealthy clans to give up resistance, even if there were stubborn people, they would send a large army to suppress the border and not fight, forcing them to surrender.
The advantage of this is that it can preserve the reputation of the Cao family, and it is conducive to the fact that when other counties are conquered in the future, the wealthy clan in the place will not rebel.
Cheng Yu in history did personally go to lobby and persuade the states and counties not to oppose Cao.
"Now that the wealthy clans of various states and counties have met with me, what else is there to be polite to them?" Cao Ren gritted his teeth and said, "If you let them go easily, wouldn't it seem that my Cao clan is too benevolent to women?"
If you don't hurt the killer, how can you stand up?
Now ninety percent of the soldiers and horses in their hands have been wiped out by Ang'er Ping'er, and each state and county only needs to send a general to lead more than 1,000 people to kill them all, and there will be no future trouble. β
He said it in an awe-inspiring manner, and in fact, everyone understood that he was actually going to the granaries of the wealthy clans.
"General Cao Ren's words are wrong, it is easy to lose people's hearts, and it is difficult to win people's hearts," Cheng Yu shook his head and sighed: "The world is not limited to Yanzhou, there are wealthy families in every state and county, and there are many people who have land and counties.
If General Cao Ren slaughtered in Yanzhou, wouldn't he push all the wealthy families in the world to the opposite side of my Cao clan?
In this way, it is very happy in front of you, and it will be several times more difficult to attack other states and counties later. β
"What's so hard? The capture of territory depends on the strength of soldiers and horses......" Cao Ren continued to argue.
At this time, Cao Cao rubbed his head and said, "Okay, don't make any more noise." β
If you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid that there will be no result until it gets dark.
In fact, Cao Cao was still inclined to Cao Ren's proposition, no matter what, grab the grain first, and hold on until the autumn harvest.
But what Cheng Yu said is not unreasonable, how can he still leave a good reputation if he robs other people's food? In the long run, it will indeed lead to unpredictable consequences.
Just as he was hesitating, a herald suddenly came to report: "Envoy, the grain from the counties has been delivered." β
"What? Grain in the counties? Cao Cao was confused and looked at Cao Ang in surprise.
Although he was puzzled, he knew that this must be something that Cao Ang had done in his absence.
Now that Yanzhou City and the counties are still in a state of hostility, how can the counties send grain over?
Cao Ang hurriedly stood up and reported: "Father, this is an order given by your son when you did not come back.
Sell back the heads of the rebels of the wealthy clans, two stone of grain for each head, at this time about all the wealthy clans have already bought, and the grain sent is the proceeds from the sale of the heads. β
In fact, Han Hao did this very smoothly, after they got food from the Huang family, they did not embarrass the Huang clan, which reassured all the wealthy families in Yanzhou who were worried about it.
It turned out that handing over the grain could save his life, but even Master Huang handed it over, why don't you hurry up?
In the end, the 20,000 heads were sold out quickly, and the grain was properly transported.
"Is there such a thing?" Cheng Yu's face showed joy first: "This idea is not bad, the Hao clan rebelled against my Yanzhou, and sending their soldiers back is a warning."
Haha, if you exchange human heads for food, people in the world will not say that we are cruel, but that we are very benevolent. β
After Cao Ren understood, he also nodded happily next to him: "In this way, even if the wealthy clans of the counties and counties return to my Cao clan, we will not need to send troops to conquer when we get food, this is a lot of gains."
What a wonderful move. β
Everyone in the hall nodded one after another, this move solved the contradictions between the two sides of the quarrel, Cao Ren insisted on fighting, not for food?
Since the wealthy clans took the initiative to hand over the grain, what are they going to do with it? It's not really a murderous addiction.
For Cheng Yu, it is really affordable to reconcile with the wealthy family in this way, which not only benefits but also does not damage his reputation, which is simply a million benefits.
While everyone was praising Cao Ang's wonderful deeds, Cao Cao coughed twice with a cold face.
Only then did everyone notice that Cao Cao's face was not good, and they quickly shut up in unison, and the hall was suddenly quiet.
Cao Cao said with a solemn face: "Ang'er, from tomorrow, train your soldiers and horses well, and you don't have to worry about Yanzhou political affairs." β
After speaking, he stood up, waved the sleeves of his robe, and walked straight away.
Only a group of people were left standing in the hall stunned, this matter was obviously handled very appropriately, why was Cao Yuanjun angry?
ββββββββββββββββ this is the dividing line for forgivenessββββββββββββββ
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, there are too many things, I really can only change it, ask for understanding.
Ask for a ticket, ask for a ticket, ask for a ticket.
