Chapter 362: This Matter Is That
Cao Cao opened the envelope with crazy hatred, but in a moment, the letter in Cao Cao's hand slipped from Cao Cao's fingertips, and Cao Cao himself fell on his back, angry and angry, unable to bear such a big stimulus, and fell directly.
"My lord! Pass on the military doctor! Cheng Yu was taken aback when he saw Cao Cao fall on his back, and hurriedly rushed up to support Cao Cao, and his eyes involuntarily swept towards the letter that fell to the ground, and after that glance, Cheng Yu's entire pupil shrank directly into a small dot.
[Tao Gongzu wants to give Xuzhou to the lord? ] Cheng Yu's mind was turned upside down by these few big words, and many things were understood in an instant, [What a Xuzhou family, what a Xuzhou family! Suddenly, Cheng Yu was furious.
After some treatment, Cao Cao woke up slowly, but his expression seemed to be several years old, and he waved his hand to let the others out, and let Cheng Yu stay in the tent.
"Zhongde, you saw the letter." Cao Cao looked at the top of the tent.
Cheng Yu lowered his head and did not reply, he regretted that he did not go to persuade Cao Cao at that time that he should send an envoy to question Xuzhou before sending troops.
"Don't be like this, lord." Cheng Yu said dryly, at this time, they all knew that this matter had nothing to do with Tao Qian's money, so what did they do before, such an opportunity was ruined because of anger.
"The princes have nine virtues, magnanimous and solemn, gentle and assertive, modest and solemn in attitude, competent and conscientious, good at listening to the opinions of others and resolute and decisive, upright in behavior and gentle in attitude. Straightforward and open-minded, upright and down-to-earth, strong and brave and moral! Cao Cao silently recited what Chen Gong had advised him at the beginning.
Cheng Yu bowed his head and was silent. Cao Cao didn't say a word to admit his mistake, but at this time, he said Chen Gong's words, which means that Cao Cao really realized his mistake, but he didn't want to open his mouth because of his identity as the master.
"Lord, please cheer up for today's plan, we need to find the real murderer and avenge the old lady." Cheng Yu bowed his head and said respectfully.
"Give the letter to Gongda. I should learn from him that the princes have nine virtues, and I ask you not to take into account my identity. Cao Cao handed the letter to Cheng Yu and said calmly. That's the end of this letter, just tell Sù Gongda, he knows what to do, Wen Ruo, Zhicai, and Gongtai are probably disappointed in me. ”
"Pass on Xiahou Yuanrang. Xiahou Miaocai came in! Cao Cao lay on the bed and motioned for Cheng Yu to leave. He ordered the sergeant to bring Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan in.
"Brother, what did my uncle say in his letter, and why did you hurt so much?" Xiahou Yuan bowed to Cao Cao for a while, and then walked up to Cao Cao's side in armor and asked with some concern.
"Tao Gongzu originally wanted to give Xuzhou to me, and he didn't want anyone to get in the way, so I was angry and killed so many people, so I stopped the massacre of Xuzhou from now on, and some people dared to continue the massacre. Chop! A cold light flashed in Cao Mengde's eyes, and he changed his mistake when he knew it. Although he never admits his mistakes in front of people.
"What!" Xiahoudun was directly stunned, "Who dares to do this!" ”
"Don't worry about that, go and carry out the order, don't spread the word about it, you two can just know." Cao Cao waved his hand and said.
After the Xiahou brothers left, Xun You and Cheng Yu came together, "My lord." ”
"Gongda, what are we going to do about this?" Cao Cao didn't even think about it, so he asked Xun You.
"Just once." Xun You looked at Cao Cao and asked.
"What Chen Gongtai said is reasonable." Cao Cao sighed and sat up, looking at Xun You with firm eyes and said.
"It's easy." Xun You said calmly, he doesn't have Xun Yu's firm beliefs, he is more like a pure adviser, but he also has his own ethics, Cao Cao said that kind of Cheng dù, Xun You also felt that it was enough for a lord, just know your mistakes and correct your mistakes.
"Now the counties of Xuzhou are in chaos, although most of them are caused by our army, but as long as our army stops, then on the one hand, we will kill the thugs who slaughtered the people, as well as the bandits who are in trouble from all sides, and on the other hand, we will carry out large-scale disaster relief for Xuzhou, and finally choose a family that does not like the eye to detain this matter." Xun You said indifferently.
"Okay, that's it!" Cao Cao was overjoyed, this matter was already indescribable to Cheng Dù at this point, and he Cao Cao didn't want to get out, so it was better to directly acquiesce to his own slaughter, and as long as the rescue was in place, plus the matter was deducted from other people, then under the diversion of attention, the impact of this matter on Cao Cao could be said to be minimal.
"Great rescue, no effort spared. Let the surviving people in Xuzhou have a kind of people who shouted that Cao Jun slaughtered the city before are all to blame us, since the slaughtered people can't open their mouths to identify us, then let the living admit that we rescued us, and then the lord doesn't need to push two, five or six, as long as he doesn't open his mouth when he mentions the massacre. "Xun You seems to be out of the world, the whole person is wooden, but there is no problem with the strategy.
Cheng Yu stared at Xun You, after Xun You did this, there would be a strange situation, obviously Xuzhou was indeed slaughtered by Cao Cao, but because it was Cao Cao who rescued him in the end, and the troops who slaughtered were not only Cao Jun, when the time came, he would directly deduct this matter on the other party's head.
"Lord, spare no effort to rescue, there is no way to identify the dead, even if the living have seen the massacre with their own eyes, when the time comes, after being rescued by us, we can all push down others, not to mention that there are indeed other forces in this massacre, we can basically cover up this matter completely." Cheng Yu said with a happy face after listening to Xun You's strategy.
Cheng Yu said a news that surprised Xun You, there are really other forces, not bandits and homeless thugs, it is simply that the heavens are covering Cao Cao, and even the people who carry the black cauldron are ready.
"Lord, don't open your mouth about the massacre, you can talk about your momentary anger in front of the people, and ask the people for forgiveness, but don't push it clean, the other princes definitely know about it, but there is no way to get the real number of people, don't say how many people die, and don't say much when you talk about this matter in the future, just make a touch of helplessness." Xun Yu directly vetoed Cheng Yu's push for yì.
"Thank you, Gongda." Cao Cao bowed deeply to Xun You.
Cao Cao knew that Xun Yu had helped him to hold it back, and in the future, it may be that Cao Cao slaughtered a small number of people in a moment of anger, and then woke up and began to provide disaster relief.
Tens of thousands of people died, but hundreds of thousands of people lived, if this kind of thing is recorded in history, although it will leave a stain, but it is undeniable that the latter thing is enough to cover up this stain, and it will inevitably be mentioned in one stroke, after all, Cao Cao is not a saint, he is a human being, there are joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows, and a moment of anger to avenge his father, and then he can change his mistakes.
Even some historians hid for the Venerable, and directly brushed it off, and the matter was directly deducted from others, and then Cao Cao went to save people, in short, the Xuzhou massacre set the tone in Xun You's voice, in exchange for the oath that Cao Cao said, it can't be said that it's not worth it.
