『Chapter error, click here to report』

There is no way to give the degraded officials a lot of land and money, in exchange for those demoted officials and let go of the officials, in order to prevent these officials who are stained and have old habits of exploitation in the future, so that they will not be infamous as evil people in order not to be killed by corrupt officials in the future, and Lu Peng is really in a dilemma for these demotion officials.

It's not to find some charges to kill, and it's not to abandon it directly, no matter which of the above two methods Lu Peng comes up with, he will immediately become the finger of a thousand people, and he will encounter huge desperate resistance in the future.

Therefore, it is actually a bit of a suspicion of self-deception that can only be exchanged for money and land in exchange for letting go of these demos, but it is also the only thing Lu Peng can do. Lu Peng really hopes that under his generous reward, those greedy people can accept this money and land, and then become a rich man in peace, after all, what he gave them is definitely not something they can accumulate by casually risking their heads.

And those who reject their rich, almost dizzying bounty are either ambitious or truly have a great heart for the people.

But Lu Peng did not have any illusions about the latter, so it was not that Lu Peng expressed his distrust of the conduct of the original officials at all levels, but that he absolutely distrusted.

Corruption is like playing games in later generations, first it is a game mentality, and it slowly becomes a habit, and habit turns into an addiction.

"Qinghe, how did that Si Cao decide?"

For the Si Cao of Qinghe, like all the officials abandoned by Yuan Shao in Yizhou now, for them, surrender is already a must and the only way, but it is just two choices: surrender to Lu Peng or surrender to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao occupies the righteousness of the imperial court, and he also relies on kindness to officials and families, which is stronger than Lu Peng's stunned youth. However, heaven is too far away, and evil neighbors are beside it, which is a kind of helplessness.

"In view of the fact that Heaven is too far away and evil neighbors are on the side, that Si Cao has decided to accept our reward of money and land and surrender to us." Xu Jie said with a relaxed face.

Lu Peng looked at him with a smile-

"Of course, we also told him in advance that we had two paths for them to choose, and I fully let them enjoy the right to choose what you said." Then seeing that Lu Peng still didn't trust, he had no choice but to continue: "Okay, okay, we Jinyiwei think that this Si Cao is definitely a corpse vegetarian guy, and he has no ability at all, let alone let him govern a county, even if a county is given to him, he can make a mess for us, so I am for his good, but I carefully described to him our official structure, described the arrogance and unreasonableness of our Jinyiwei, and described your despicable means to corrupt officials, Describing the contempt you have for the scholars in your bones, the boy accepted our reward with joy, and was ready to sell us the seal and register of Qinghe County at once, and then run to the grassland to herd his horses and become a little lord. ”

Lu Peng smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, everyone has self-knowledge, each takes what he needs, and then everyone is safe, and the next time we meet, we can still call each other brothers." ”

After going around in such a big circle, Xu Jie asked again: "Then what should we do with the Lu brothers in Xindu?" ”

Lu Peng stopped, pointed to the map and said to Xu Jie: "Now, the entire Yizhou has almost become our bag except for the three counties that are wavering, just waiting for us to send someone to receive it, and after we take these states and counties, Xu Huang will also become a lonely person, a Cao Cao disgusted my chess piece, and became a waste, but to see when it is suitable, I will bring him up." ”

"For Xu Huang and the 10,000 men and horses in his hands, we don't need to let him stay there safely now, as long as 20,000 of General Zhao's 50,000 cavalry are transferred, it will be wiped out in a blink of an eye." Looking at Lu Peng, who was smiling and silent, Xu Jie said again with confidence: "If Xu Huang wants to implement his goal of keeping Xindu, his subordinates only need to give me 10,000 infantry, and within 3 days, I can ask the lord to reward the three armies in the lobby of Xindu." ”

Now Xu Jie has become the master of the entire Youzhou Army's urban offensive and defensive battles, and in his eyes, there is no city that cannot be broken and a city that cannot be defended.

Looking at Xu Jie, who was eager to try, Lu Peng pointed at him and shook his head helplessly: "You can indeed only be regarded as a tactician, but definitely not a strategist, this is your shortcoming." ”

As for the name of the family, Xu Jie didn't understand, but he didn't want to ask, because when he and the lord were two people, the lord always came up with some inexplicable and wonderful terms, and when he got used to it, he no longer asked for the bottom of it.

But the lord evaluates himself as a tactician, not a strategist, and he still understands it. I admit it in my heart.

Originally, when he took refuge in the lord, the lord was still with Liu Bei's brothers, and he had to listen to Liu Bei's fingers every day, but he finally relied on the relationship between Liu Bei and Guan Zhang, and made a stable foundation, using Liu Bei's swaggering identity to get the fame that should be earned, (these few sentences can also be regarded as explaining the book friend's message in the message area, about hating pig's feet and not fighting, being intercepted by Liu Bei, Guan Zhang, and complaining about training for him to collect money, hehehehe) laid a small foundation, When he broke away from Liu Bei and flew solo, there were only 4,000 people in his hands, Wen was just himself, and the military general was only Zhang Yan Xizhen, and there was no chance to look forward to the future at that time.

At that time, you could only play tactics, and you were too advanced in playing strategy, so during that time, I assisted Lu Peng, which can be said to be easy.

But with the expansion of the foundation, the situation faced by himself and the lord is constantly expanding, at this time Xu Jie has self-knowledge, and also finds that his vision in the overall situation and strategy is not as good as Tian Fengchou, who came later, and even inferior to Wang Zhi and others.

This is why Xu Jie willingly withdrew from the cabinet as a key department and concentrated on running Jinyiwei.

Such a person is the one who objectively positions himself, and only by knowing how to advance and retreat can he go further, so he can also see his loyalty to Lu Peng, and he follows Lu Peng, definitely not out of fame and fortune.

"Now, the cabinet and I have the same thoughts, the current Xu Huang, although it is a disgusting nail in my heart, but I should never move him first, the reason is that I still don't want to turn my face with Cao Cao immediately, whether it is Cao Cao or us, in this feast of sharing the spoils in the north, we need to settle down and digest what we eat, so during this period of time, I am ready to continue to compress Xu Huang, directly as if he is air."
