Chapter 150: Bian Rang's Death
"Lord, here's the thing, although Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou, but there are many people under his command who are not used to his style, for example, there is a famous man named Bian Rang in Yanzhou, who is very unaccustomed to him, and often makes sarcastic remarks, we just need to find a way to spread rumors in Luoyang, so that Bian Rang knows that Cao Cao secretly sent someone to rob the tomb, Bian Rang will definitely shake this matter out, Cao Cao will kill Bian Rang in shame and anger, Bian Rang is very popular in Yanzhou, once he is killed, Yanzhou officials, especially Chen Gong, who is good friends with Bian Rang, Zhang Miao and the others will be cold, in this case they will find a way to deal with Cao Cao, these two people one has a broad relationship, the other is resourceful, and they will definitely be able to make Cao Cao's backyard catch fire, and at that time Cao Cao will not be able to take care of each other, even if he can successfully support the Son of Heaven, he will definitely lose most of Yanzhou, and at that time, he will not be able to completely control the situation in Luoyang with his strength, which is enough for us to plan and plan. ”
"Mr. Kong Ming, it's really a brilliant plan", Pei Qing's eyes lit up after hearing it, and he felt that such a strategy was definitely the best deal at the moment.
It's just that in this way, he will kill the famous man Bian Rang, and it is indeed a little unfair, so Pei Qing is also a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Hu Zhao immediately persuaded: "This matter is indeed a little disgraceful, but we can only do this for the sake of the world of the Han Dynasty, and in the future, we will find a way to posthumously award the official title of Bian Rang and take proper care of his descendants. Die for the sake of the country, this is our glory, Dou Wu, Chen Fan, Li Ying, Du Mi, Fan Fan and others were able to die for the society, why can't Bian Rang now? Even if I am replaced by Hu Zhao, if I have to die in exchange for the stability of the society, I will definitely die without hesitation. ”
Pei Qing sighed when he heard this: "That's the only way, if you want to visit in the future, let the descendants take good care of it to make up for today's regrets." ”
Later, Pei Qing gave Hu Zhao full authority to deal with the matter, creating some trouble for Cao Cao and creating an opportunity for himself.
Cao Cao didn't expect that his plan had been seen through by Pei Qing, and even he himself began to be calculated by Pei Qing, he led the army to take Luoyang with lightning speed, the plan went very smoothly, and he was extremely proud, and at this time Cao Cao had found two tomb robbers, Huang Fuli and Huang Fuyi, who were appointed as the generals of Faqiu Zhonglang and the captain of Touching Jin, which can be regarded as a heavy responsibility, after all, this is already a senior military position under Cao Cao's command.
And these two people did not disappoint Cao Cao, and stole tens of thousands of gold in just one day, which solved Cao Cao's current predicament, and rewarded the soldiers who should be rewarded for their military merits.
"There are so many tombs of princes and ministers around Luoyang, as long as they are careful and don't touch the tombs of the current high-ranking officials and royal families, who will say anything about this?" Cao Cao thought that he was doing things very secretly, and no one knew about them, and he was very proud in his heart.
However, at this moment, he only heard that the adviser Bian Rang came to ask for a meeting, Cao Cao knew that Bian Rang was a crazy man, and he generally ignored it at all, but now he was in a good mood, and it didn't matter if he saw him, so he ordered him to come in.
After seeing Cao Cao, Bian Rang only bowed his hand slightly to see him, which made Cao Cao suddenly a little unhappy, and said lightly: "I don't know what Wenli has to say?" ”
Bian Rang didn't ink, and said directly: "Now the soldiers are following Cao Gong and winning battles, and finally captured Luoyang, which is gratifying." ”
"Hehe, this is all the result of the heroic battles of the soldiers." Cao Cao was proud in his heart, but he always had to be humble when he spoke, so he said.
Cao Gong is very correct in what he said, but since this is the case, should the reward that Cao Gong promised to the soldiers be fulfilled? Now the soldiers outside the camp are all dissatisfied, waiting to ask Cao Gong for a bounty, if Cao Gong does not cash in time, I am afraid that the army's morale will be unstable, and it will be unfavorable to Cao Gong. ”
"Haha, Wen Li said it well, I'm thinking about this matter, after some hard work, I have raised tens of thousands of gold, enough to reward the soldiers, Wen Li rest assured, I will arrange this matter soon." Cao Cao was very happy after hearing this, he didn't expect that such a rebellious person as Bian Rang would also care about the army's heart, which is a good thing, enough to prove that he is gradually winning the hearts of the people.
But he didn't expect Bian Rang to sneer and said: "In just one or two days, Cao Gong has raised so much property, it's really not simple, I don't know where so much wealth comes from?" I really can't figure it out, can Cao Gong solve my doubts? ”
Cao Cao's face immediately changed color when he heard this, and he said lightly: "You don't need to worry about this, right?" I just need to raise the corresponding supplies, there is no need to explain to you, right? ”
"Hmph, I'm afraid it's the wrong way to get the money, right? I heard a rumor that Cao Gong secretly recruited a team to dig graves and steal property to support the army. Bian Rang seemed to ask for advice, but this aggressive attitude was not asking for advice at all, but more like asking questions.
Cao Cao's complexion changed even more instantly, and he said coldly: "Who is talking nonsense? This kind of thing Wen Li would also believe? It's ridiculous. ”
"Oh? I'm going to take my time to investigate if it's true? There is another thing that I am very puzzled about, since Cao Gong has captured Luoyang, he should go all out of his way, take advantage of the victory to pursue, lead the army to break Hongnong, Kehuayin, recover Chang'an in one fell swoop, and welcome back the Son of Heaven, why has he been leading the army to stay here? And you led a large army stationed in the palace, full of ambition to repair the palace, I think you have not been loyal to the country at all, the occupation of Luoyang is just to realize their ambitions, Cao Gong if you are so, will definitely disappoint all the world's corporals, and please Cao Gong can take the world as his own responsibility, return the stolen goods, bury the stolen graves, and apologize to his descendants, and then lead the army to fight against the Xiliang rebels, welcome back the Son of Heaven, so that you can also keep your reputation from loss, you Cao and Xiahou are tired of the emperor's favor, if you lose the righteousnessYou will be reviled by the Hereafter, and even your ancestors will be ashamed and unwilling to meet you under the Yellow Spring......"
"Bold! You're just a madman, so what qualifications do you have to interfere with my strategy? You don't know what I've done, everything is just hearsay and assumptions, you dare to come to me to question and condemn, I tolerated you before, it doesn't mean that I will always tolerate you, you have committed the following crimes, insulted me, and even my ancestors dared to insult me, if I don't kill you, is it really bad to be my sword? ”
So he ordered left and right: "Pull this guy and me to the gate and behead the public!" ”
As soon as Bian Rang heard that he was going to be executed, he immediately scolded endlessly, accusing Cao Cao of stealing graves and other crimes, so angry that Cao Cao ordered his tongue to be cut out, and then watched him be killed with his own eyes, so he stopped.
Cao Cao killed Bian Rang in order to kill him, and his ambition to steal the grave and occupy the palace to welcome the Son of Heaven was leaked out, but he explained to Zhong Wenwu: "Saying that Bian Rang disobeyed the dispatch, disrupted our army's morale, and neglected military law, I will behead him." ”
Some of the civil and military forces believed it, and some didn't believe it, but when they saw Cao Cao say this, they didn't dare to say anything more, so this thing fell silent.
But neither Cao Cao nor his civil and military forces knew what kind of disaster Cao Cao caused when he killed Bian Rang this time?
