Chapter 1123: Burning the Letter and Collecting the Heart
When Ma Chao was working hard for the transformation of the Ma family's style, Cao Cao also started a heart-warming activity here.
Cao Cao, who was defeated in Nanpi and could even be said to be embattled, did not seem to have half of his sorrow. Today, he ascended to the big tent at the time of Mao, Xu Chu and Wang will guard the left and right, and Wen Dongwu and Xi will stand on both sides. Here are Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Mao Jue, Xue Yi, and Jiang Ji to the ground, and on the other side are Xiahou Yuan, the Cao brothers, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Zhu Ling, and Lu Qian intervening to give gifts. In addition, there is a more conspicuous one, that is, the original Yuan clan civil and military led by Fu Zhu, although they are also ranked behind the Cao clan civil and military according to the civil and military divisions, but no matter how you look at it, these people are still a little out of place with the Cao group for the time being.
Today's military lineup is so neat, and its capable generals and strategists are all present, and it can be seen that Cao Cao has made a big move. It's just that Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, who are closest to Cao Cao on weekdays, also look at a loss. Such an atmosphere made everyone present feel a little more puzzled.
After Cao Cao saw everyone saluting, he bowed his head slightly to show that he returned the salute: "Everyone, please sit down ....... carry it up!" Without too much greetings and mobilization, Cao Cao clapped his hands at the moment and went straight to the topic.
With his greeting, the four tiger guards solemnly carried two large boxes into the big tent, and after putting down the boxes, they saluted and retreated without saying a word. Everyone hurriedly held their breath and looked at the two large boxes three feet long, two feet wide, and three feet high, and some fine people seemed to guess Cao Cao's intentions, and their faces became extremely ugly.
Sure enough, Cao Cao casually pointed to the two big boxes and asked, "Everyone, let's have a pastime in our spare today." I asked this question, can anyone answer it? ”
Shooting is a superb and interesting game played by divination learners in the ancient "Book of Changes" in order to improve their divination skills. The person who covers an object with a bowl, a box, etc., and the shooter guesses what is inside through means such as dividing the basket.
Cao Cao pointed to the two large boxes that had not been opened, his intention was to let his subordinates guess what was inside. In normal times, it would not hurt for everyone to speculate about this. But at this time, the Cao army's strategic battle situation was besieged by the Ma family army on all sides, and the internal supply of grain and grass was about to run out. Not to mention...... Just yesterday, Cao Cao finally made up his mind to personally supervise and behead his friend and half-life enemy Yuan Shao under Nanpi City!
There is no one here who is stupid and stupid, and Cao Cao's killing of Yuan Shao is an obvious signal. And these days, Cao Jieran is not happy and angry, but everyone who knows the inside story is concerned, not to mention, how anxious and irritable Cao Cao, the helmsman who carries Cao's foundation on his shoulders!
However, just when everyone's breathing began to slow down by half a beat, there were really people who dared to stand up.
"Lord, if Weichen guesses correctly, what is contained here should be a secret letter written by our own people here to Yuan Benchu and Ma Mengqi a while ago before the Guandu War!"
Everyone turned around and saw that the person who spoke was Cheng Yu, who had always been arrogant and bold. People who are familiar with Cheng Yu's nature, even if they have all kinds of resentment towards Cheng Yu in their hearts at this time, they don't dare to come forward to argue - although Cheng Yu is arrogant and rigid, but once it is certain, there is absolutely no surrender letter written by Cheng Yu in these two big boxes.
And after Cao Cao heard Cheng Yu say the answer with a dark face, he smiled as if he was self-deprecating, and said: "Yes, Ben is really my good friend, if he loses, he will be defeated, and before he left yesterday, he specially left me such a big gift." ”
Although Cao Cao's words were a joke, from his tone, everyone couldn't hear any meaning of joking. Next, Cao Cao got up and walked to the two large boxes, took out the Heavenly Sword and picked it up: "Let's see for yourself." ”
The two boxes were opened by Cao Cao one after another, and they were filled with all kinds of letters, including bamboo slips, silk silks, hemp paper and sealed letters, but there was no half of Fufeng paper and Yanzhou paper. This is probably because Fufeng paper and Yanzhou paper were high-end items in the Sikong Shogunate, and it was easy to find out where they came from. It can be seen that in times of crisis, the wisdom of human beings is completely infinite.
Moreover, one thing that made everyone's faces gloomy but fortunate in their hearts was the number of these books...... That's a lot.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the big tent suddenly became cold and strange. Everyone didn't dare to look up at Cao Cao's face, they all realized the seriousness of this matter. At this time, his psychology, in addition to trembling, was more to use his limited wisdom to speculate on Cao Cao's psychology - no leader likes others to betray him, judging from the number of secret letters in this box, there must be hundreds of people who want to fall to the ground; But from the other side, Cao Jun has twists and turns on the battlefield in Jizhou, the newcomers are not satisfied, and the new land is not settled, if so many people have to be dealt with at once, I am afraid that it will cause a series of shocks, which is definitely what Cao Gong does not want to see.
Does the law not hold the public accountable?
Maybe, after all, if Cao Cao comes to settle accounts after the autumn today, then the central force of the entire Sikong Shogunate may only be able to leave the backbone, and even the backbone will be missing.
Blind eye?
Is this possible? Cao Cao's temperament is the most unpredictable, and he has never lacked the courage to break the big stand and the ruthlessness of pushing the rolling head to the guillotine.
Finally, there was silence for a long time of incense, and after Cao Cao's slow footsteps trampled on the hearts of those people, he sat down again, picked up Yuan Shao's favorite bronze wine lord and drank a glass of wine, and then said to Cheng Yu: "Since Zhongde guessed the objects in this box, what would you do with it if you were me?" ”
Everyone gasped at this time, and asked Cheng Yu, the guy who can eat human flesh, to answer this question, and the answer doesn't need to be thought about!
Sure enough, Cheng Yu didn't even think about it, and said coldly with one word: "Kill!" ”
One word fell, and the whole audience was shocked. At this time, everyone knew how cold and hard Cheng Yu was. And almost in the next moment, everyone unconsciously turned their eyes to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu was helpless, and after glancing at the Yuan family's civil and military forces with complicated faces on the side, he sighed and said, "Ming Gong, these two boxes are obviously the problems that Yuan Gong deliberately left for you before he collapsed. If you follow Yuan Gong's wishes, then the person who should laugh the most is probably Yuan Gong, who is already under the Nine Springs......."
After Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's advice, he seemed to be very satisfied and nodded. He stood up again, although his stature was not tall, but in front of the civil and military who were full of low souls at this time, his will was so majestic: "Kill is indeed to kill, but you can't kill." It is to kill the heart, and only if I help you to get rid of all those cowardly and filthy hearts, can you stand in this big tent with dignity! ”
"I haven't read a single letter in this box." Cao Cao explained, and then said without pausing: "Come on, carry these two boxes out and burn them in public!" ”
The flames quickly burst into flames on the two large boxes poured with pine oil, and everyone present looked at the jumping flames, and did not know how to speak for a while. Although they were still a long way from the flame, they seemed to feel that the flame had filled their hearts, completely burning away the darkness and fear in their hearts. At the same time, that flame was also transmitted to their eyes, and it burned fiercely: it was just that the Ma family army was besieged on all sides, and with such a wise lord as Cao Gong, even if they were crushed, what was they afraid of?!
"Cao Gong is wise, and he will definitely do his best after that, and he will die!" Everyone bowed down tacitly and bowed respectfully to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao nodded and accepted it calmly, waved his hand again, and ordered all civil and military officers to perform their duties and retreat. However, when Ren Jun finally left, he inadvertently saw Cao Cao's right hand tap twice: That is the signal for him to stay alone.......
