Chapter 364: The Heart of the Troubled World
"Zichuan, how many homeless people have we collected now." Liu Bei sat in the county seat of Tanxian County, looked at his subordinates, and asked.
Originally, Chen Xi was supposed to lead a group of soldiers and horses, but before he left Mount Tai, the information from Xuzhou became the need for materials rather than the need for people, after all, after arriving in Xuzhou, Liu Bei found that more important than killing Cao Cao was how to let this group of people who had suffered military disasters and left their hometowns recover a peaceful life.
"More than 300,000." Chen Xi sighed and said, "The materials needed have been determined to be delivered tomorrow." ā
Cao Bao is indeed not a good thing, and he feels good about himself, it does not mean that other people in Xuzhou have bad brains, for example, Xue Yan, the minister of the East China Sea, welcomed Liu Bei's arrival, and Liu Bei said that if you open a warehouse and put grain, then open a warehouse and put grain, and choose to hug Liu Bei's thigh without hesitation.
"Only more than 300,000? No, there should be a population of close to one million in the north of Xuzhou, because there should be only so many people who have left their hometowns in Tucheng. Liu Bei's face was a little gloomy when he said this, for fear that Chen Xi would break the news that everyone else had been killed by Cao Cao or something, in that case, Liu Bei didn't dare to guarantee that he would not directly send troops to attack Cao Cao regardless of it.
"It's not what the lord thinks, Cao Mengde is also gathering displaced people for disaster relief." Jia Xu sighed and said, Jia Xu can only say one thing about what Cao Cao is doing now, worthy of being a traitor, under such confusion, even if they know that Cao Mengde did carry out the massacre, there is no substantive evidence.
"Huh?" Liu Bei was directly stunned, "Wenhe." You repeat. ā
Cao Mengde is also carrying out disaster relief, and is also strangling the thugs who slaughtered the people of Xuzhou, among which Xiahou Yuanrang has already done the second largest massacre force. The Que Xuan of the 'Son of Heaven'. Jia Xu repeated.
As soon as these words came out, the entire Tanxian government whispered for a while, all of which did not believe it.
"Didn't there be information that Cao Cao wantonly slaughtered the people of Xuzhou before? And we've strangled quite a few of these groups. Zhao Yun got up and asked for the first time, he killed Cao Jun in Xuzhou so softly, but now that he has killed the wrong person, how can Zhao Yun be willing to rest?
"As far as we have investigated, it is no longer the Cao army that is carrying out the massacre, but some forces in Xuzhou itself. probably wanted to take advantage of the situation, as for Cao Mengde's early participation in the massacre, it is inevitable, but how many people were really Cao Cao's hands. There is no exact number for this one. Jia Xu said helplessly, given the accuracy required for intelligence, he was still not ready to come up with the kind of numbers that were purely based on guesswork.
For this aspect, Chen Xi also estimated. But he really didn't know how many people he had killed. As for intelligence, with the current intelligence organization, there are no cameras or video recorders, and it is in this situation where multiple forces are playing with each other, it is not easy to ensure that Cao Cao did indeed carry out the massacre, and as for how many people were killed, it is really not easy to determine.
"Wen He. Which local forces in Xuzhou participated in this massacre. Liu Bei pulled the topic away from Cao Cao and asked another question. There is no comment on Cao Cao's approach.
"Now it is clear that there are two shares, one is Que Xuan, and the other is Zhenrong, Que Xuan's purpose is very clear, purely to take the opportunity to hit Tao Gong's prestige, so as to achieve his own position, as for Zhenrong, it seems that he is just taking this opportunity to loot wealth." Jia Xu said indifferently, "Among them, the Zhenrong forces are huge, with more than 10,000 soldiers and 3,000 horses, and it has already ravaged several counties. ā
"Thieves dare to do this!" Liu Bei said angrily after taking a few shots.
"Cloud, willing to share the worries of the Lord." Zhao Yun, who was cold, walked out of his seat.
Zhao Yun, who was originally mild-mannered, now became cold with the crazy fight, and stepped out, and the other generals who originally wanted to take over the matter all retracted their actions.
"Bai Mayi has always come and gone like the wind, and it is very suitable to hand over this matter to Zilong, so I will bring Zhenrong's head to me." Liu Bei said with a cold face, since witnessing the tragic situation in Xuzhou, Liu Bei, who is known for his benevolence, has also shown his majestic and domineering side, and he will never show mercy to these slaughterers.
"Whoa!" Zhao Yun bowed, and then retreated directly from the palace, preparing to send troops to attack and kill Zhenrong.
"My lord, what follows is my speculation, because there is not enough evidence." Jia Xu said after seeing Zhao Yun leave.
"Say." Liu Bei nodded.
Jia Xu gave a comprehensive explanation of Cao Bao's analysis, and Liu Bei sank into the water after listening to it, "Wenhe, how sure are you that this is really the case." ā
"Seventy percent." Jia Xu said silently.
"Enough, I came to Xuzhou to kill people, whether it is a thug disguised as Cao Jun, or Que Xuan, Zhenrong and others under the banner of Cao Jun, they are all the objects I want to kill, as for the Cao Leopard you said, don't say it's seventy percent, even if it's one percent, he should die! Killers without reason must die! Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu with cold eyes, and said something completely different from before in front of everyone without concealment.
"It should be like this, it is about hundreds of thousands of people, and if you can't prove your innocence, that is, you are guilty, we can think carefully about small things and investigate, but at this time, it is enough to cut through the mess quickly!" Chen Xi also said with a cold face, he couldn't hate this kind of guy who fueled the troubles.
"I built yƬ to directly resettle the people of Xuzhou on the spot and rebuild their place of residence." After Chen Xi finished speaking, he didn't want to talk about that kind of thing, and instead mentioned another thing.
"Isn't that a bit excessive?" As soon as Liu Bei heard this, the majesty he had originally accumulated was instantly exhausted, and for him, this kind of thing was also not in line with his standards.
"Only in this way can we free up our hands to deal with Cao Mengde in a short period of time, compared to Que Xuan, Zhenrong, the kind of force that we can destroy by sending a random person, Cao Mengde is our real enemy. If we continue to delay in the displacements in Xuzhou, we will not be able to spare our hands to deal with Cao Mengde unless military control is implemented. Chen Xi said solemnly.
"Please also ask the lord to think twice, although what Zichuan said is not complete, but in fact it is not about the same, more than 300,000 idle homeless, if we are not organized, we can only be dragged in the East China Sea like the previous half a month." Liu Ye got up and said, they were so wasteful in the previous half a month, although there was indeed a meaning that Liu Ye wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
"Xuande Gong, the difference between us and Cao Mengde is that we are not disaster relief, we are rescue, we directly guarantee that the other party can still survive after we leave, not as simple as eating a full meal, so for Cao Mengde, building a soup kitchen can solve the problem, for us we need to be specific to the other party's food, clothing, housing and transportation." Li You also sighed and said.
Liu Bei's approach made Li You not know what to say, but he also clearly understood that this was the benevolence of treating all the people in the world in Liu Bei's oath. (To be continued......)
