Chapter Forty-Eight: Cao Cao in Attack

The next day, Xun You led 2,000 soldiers out of the city and headed west, first to Xihe County. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Two days later, Xun You swaggered and took 2,000 soldiers into the Xihe County Administration and left the stone.

At this time, what I want is to be high-profile, that is, to make a clear posture and tell the family, I am here to seize power!

There are not many families in Bingzhou, and some of them are not top-notch, but Xihe and Shangjun are controlled by small families.

The family pays attention to interests, and now Liu Wei is in control of the two counties.

What they are thinking about now is how to keep their power in the hands of the emperor. Look at the emperor's attitude to decide how much interest you should give up.

And Xun You deliberately high-profile the capital and made the soldiers and horses strong, which is to tell the family, I am here to be a guard, and I have soldiers in my hands! If you don't accept control, you will only perish.

Cao Cao received the news and took a few Jinyiwei cronies directly to the Taishou Mansion to greet him. With Cao Cao's wisdom, he combined the news obtained by Jinyiwei. After a little analysis, Cao Cao understood Xun You's purpose.

Xun You also went straight to Taishou Mansion with a single knife. Two highly intelligent people, although they have not met yet, but what they do is extremely tacit.

On the way to the Taishou Mansion, Xun You ordered the soldiers to publicize that the new Taishou appointed by the emperor was about to take office, causing an uproar among the people.

Xihe has not been guarded for a long time, and a group of clans control various official positions, and they are all demons who eat people and do not spit out bones. I don't know what kind of character this new Taishou is, can he bring us a good life? Or will it make our lives even more miserable?

Cao Cao led a group of brocade guards, standing at the gate of the Taishou Mansion and waiting, and after a while, he saw Xun You leading two thousand soldiers to step in.

And the controller of the family also heard the news and came to the door of the Taishou Mansion. With a complicated face, he looked at Cao Cao and Xun Yu in the distance.

"Gongda, I didn't expect you to come so quickly!" Cao Cao happily greeted him.

"Thanks to His Majesty's ability to quickly control the Shangdang and hold an army of 30,000, these families are jealous, otherwise how can I dare to come?" Xun You said in a low voice.

"Oh? Although I have heard about it a little, I don't know what the specific situation of the party is, and I hope Gongda will tell me! Cao Cao arched his hand when he heard this.

Xun You then told Cao Cao about the things after Liu Wei joined the party.

"Okay, Zhang Yang is good, Your Majesty's benevolence is also a blessing for the people, and this tuntian system is really amazing!" Cao Cao couldn't help but admire when he heard this.

Originally, I was worried that His Majesty was old and inevitably had the kindness of a woman, but now I see that His Majesty is small, but he acts decisively, and he is also the master who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals! But he is extremely merciful to the people, and he is the master in my heart!

Cao Cao was thinking about what Liu Wei had done, but Xun You took out the holy decree given by Liu Wei, coughed and said: "Brother Meng De, the purpose of His Majesty sending me here this time, you must have guessed it, take the order!" ”

"Minister Cao Cao takes the order!" Cao Cao knelt down and shouted loudly.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Cao Mengde is benevolent, righteous and filial, loyal, proficient in government and politics, and outstanding in strategy. I am very relieved, and I specially appoint him as the Taishou of Xihe, in charge of the military and political power of Xihe! Chin this! Xun You's voice was loud and clear, and in an instant, not only Cao Cao, but even the people of all generations on the side heard it.

The faces of the heads of various families changed for a while, and they were not very good-looking. Controlling the military and political power of Xihe, just have nothing to do with us?

"Minister Cao Cao received the order, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Cao Cao took the holy decree and stood up, although he guessed Xun Youlai's intention, but it became a reality, and he couldn't help but be a little excited.

Under Liu Wei's hand, he was appointed to work for the first time, and it was incomparable trust and support, and Cao Cao was suddenly moved. I only feel that in my lifetime, Dahan will prosper again under Liu Wei, and he will also be the one who established it together!

"By the way, Mengde, Your Majesty has another message for me to convey to you! That is, no matter what means are used, we must firmly control Xihe in our hands! Xun You said in a low voice.

Cao Cao's expression was grim, now he is the Taishou in the name of Xihe, and the military and political power is in the hands of the family, that is to say, no matter what method is used, he must take the power over?

"Yes! Cao Cao must live up to His Majesty's trust! Cao Cao nodded.

"There are still a thousand soldiers here, and Your Majesty asked me to bring them to assist you!" Xun You pointed to a group of soldiers.

Cao Cao glanced at the soldiers and smiled: "This is more than a thousand soldiers, it seems that Gongda you also have another important responsibility!" ”

Xun You smiled bitterly and nodded: "Your Majesty Longen, I have been appointed as the Taishou of Shangjun, which is also the same task as Meng De!" ”

"I'm happy!" A hint of clarity flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he bowed his hand and said goodbye.

"It's a happy event, but it's also a chore! Okay, I'm going to go to Upper County to find out where the situation is! Mengde, don't be too fast, otherwise you will return to Your Majesty, I haven't finished it yet! Xun You smiled bitterly.

The Xun family, which is also a big family, is quite famous in the Yingchuan area, and the eight dragons of the Xun family, in the clear stream, are all promising. But the Xun family, unlike other families, annexed land and fished the people. Even among the people, it is quite famous.

But Liu Wei asked Xun You to deal with the Shangjun family, which was really a little difficult for him. Cao Cao nodded with deep understanding and said: "In this case, I won't keep you anymore, state affairs are important, presumably Gongda will not live up to His Majesty's trust!" ”

"Yes! I will not fail to live up to Your Majesty's trust! Xun Yu arched his hand, turned around and left with a thousand soldiers.

Seeing Xun You go away, Cao Cao turned his head, looked at the officials of the Xihe family, and arched his hand: "Colleagues, this official trusts Xihe Taishou, and in the future, under the same roof, please give me more advice!" ”

A group of onlookers also stood still, wanting to see if the trusted Taishou was a good official. will still be in the same stream with these moths of the world.

A group of family officials didn't dare to say anything.

"Well, this official is newly appointed, and he is not familiar with all kinds of military affairs and government affairs, so he will send all kinds of accounts to the official government when he goes back! This official should take a good look at it! Cao Cao said in a cold voice.

The officials looked at each other, as if they had reached some kind of agreement, and nodded: "Yes!" ”

Cao Cao stepped into the palace, and a thousand soldiers were taken down by a few brocade guards to settle down. Leaving a group of soldiers watching the excitement to discuss.

That night, a leader of the brocade guard walked into Cao Cao's study, holding a few bamboo slips in his hand.

"My lord, they've sent something!" Gao gradually put the accounts sent by the clan on Cao Cao's desk.

Cao Cao didn't look at the accounts, but looked at Gao Yan and asked, "Have you checked all the information about the family?" Can that kid be safe these days? ”

Gao gradually became the leader of the Xihe Jinyi Guard, and was also one of Wang Yue's disciples, with a shrewd mind, and was second only to Shi A in the crowd of rangers. If you want to use the system to detect, there is at least eighty-five force value.

"That kid has been very restless lately, and a few of them have mutilated a girl, and even openly crippled the girl's father!" Gao said coldly, obviously dissatisfied with the man.

"Keep an eye on him, and dare to do anything wrong just because he is a family? These officials treat me against me, so I will use him as a breakthrough and snatch food from the hands of the family! Cao Cao sneered.

"Your Excellency hasn't read these accounts, how do you know that those officials are disobedient to you, maybe they are afraid of your lordship, and maybe they really hand over power to your lord?" Gao gradually said curiously.

"Then you look at these accounts, right?" Cao Cao handed over a roll of bamboo slips.

"Guanghe five years, military spending of 10,000 gold, grain and grass 50,000 stones!" Gao gradually took the bamboo slip and read.

"Hehe, if Xihe has an army of 30,000 and is well-equipped, this makes sense, but you have also checked, there is no garrison in Xihe County, some are just private soldiers of the family, and there are hundreds of people more or less without a family. Doesn't this clearly divide up military spending? After Cao Cao heard this, he immediately explained.

"Damn, the tax and military expenses of the imperial court were actually used by the family to raise private soldiers, and that's it, they still used the people's taxes to bully the people! A certain family wants to kill them all! "Gao Yan is a ranger, chivalrous and righteous, corrupt officials and corrupt officials have not been killed, and when he found out about this, he was immediately angry.

"What's there to be angry with such a person? Isn't it just bullying and bullying the common people? Now that we have the power of soldiers, we can do it to them! Cao Cao smiled.

"But they also have soldiers!"

"The family is very profitable, there will never be real cooperation, one or two alone, will not be our opponents, don't worry! What's more, there are 30,000 troops on His Majesty's side, and the news that the princes of the world support His Majesty comes, and they don't dare to do it! ”

"Since there is His Majesty as a deterrent, how can they dare to disobey the adult?" Gao gradually wondered.

"Who would give up power so easily? They are testing the bottom line of their own officials. I want to see what I do with them to make a decision again. Cao Cao smiled

"What is the bottom line for adults?" Gao asked tentatively.

"Gather all the people who have been victimized, and then arrest that kid from the Wang family, hasn't he been jumping up and down a lot lately? It's a robbery of people's girls again, and it's a land grab! This official wants to avenge the people's grievances! Cao Cao sneered.

Gao gradually heard the words and said, "Yes, my lord, I'll go and prepare!" ”

The next day, there was a sudden news that the Taishou was going to redress the grievances of the people, and the young and young Wang family who were doing evil were arrested by the people of the Taishou Mansion, and those who came to redress their grievances quickly.

Suddenly, hundreds of people headed towards the Taishou Mansion.

Cao Cao sat in front of the desk and looked at a young man with dark skin and an arrogant face who was forcibly pressed to the ground.

"Wangba, the word Omar, what a good name, this official and ask you. You are guilty! Cao Cao rebuked angrily.

"What sin am I? Let me tell you, my father is Wang Tian, and no one in Xihe County dares to mess with my Wang family! You're the new Taishou? I advise you to let me go! Wang Ba said arrogantly.

"Huh! Wang Tian? Even if it is the king of heaven, I am not afraid, what crime you have is not clear, let them say! Cao Cao clapped his hands, and suddenly a crowd of people poured into the mansion. Looking at Wang Ba, a burst of anger surged up, and he couldn't wait to step forward and tear him up. But he was stopped by a group of soldiers.

"If you have any grievances, just say it, and this official will call the shots for you!" Cao Cao shouted at the crowd.

"My lord, that day the killer forcibly occupied my daughter, causing my little girl to hang herself, leaving me alone!"

"My sister was also defiled by him!"

"There are only two acres of fertile land in the old man's house, and he lives on this alone, but he doesn't want to be forcibly occupied by him the day before yesterday. And broke the old leg! ”

"Oh? Is there any proof for this? Cao Cao looked like the old man.

"There is a land deed as evidence, this was issued by the Han Dynasty, and it was only a low-grade field at that time. After several generations of hard work and fertilization, the field was fertile, but he did not want to be taken by him, if this title deed could not be testified, this full house of people was ironclad proof! The old man said in a low voice.

"We can all testify!" Suddenly, the people in the hall shouted.

Cao Cao took the title deed, looked at Wang Ba and said, "The human and material evidence are all there, what else do you have to say?" ”

Wang Ba said disapprerovingly: "What is this? Isn't it just a bit of land? What's wrong? Will you convict me? You're going to kill me? ”

"A little? The land of the Han Dynasty belongs to the people of the Han Dynasty, His Majesty's, and the country. Dare to occupy it by force? No less! Cao Cao scolded angrily.

"Rob it, rob it, you dare to kill me!" Wang Ba immediately panicked.

"Kill you and defile my sword, this official will hand it over to these people to dispose of!" Cao Cao laughed.

Wang Ba's pupils shrank, and he suddenly panicked, he was full of evil on weekdays. If he is really handed over to the people, I am afraid that life is worse than death.

"Don't, my lord, don't hand me over to these people. I'll give you whatever you want, I'll give them back everything, and I won't dare to mess with you in the future! Wang Ba was so frightened that he hugged Cao Cao's thighs and wept bitterly.

"Come on, put him in prison for me, and when all the evidence of the crime is sorted out, he will be publicly questioned!" Cao Cao kicked Wang Ba away, and drank another soldier to take Wang Ba down.

"Your Excellency killed him!"

"Kill him and avenge us!"

"Don't let him go, sir!"

Seeing that Cao Cao did not kill Wang Ba on the spot, the people were worried that Cao Cao would let him go, so they immediately shouted.

Cao Cao pressed his hand, signaled the people to be quiet, and said loudly: "The people rest assured, this person is extremely evil, and this official will definitely punish him severely, but he has done a lot of evil, and there are still many evidence of crimes that have not been collected, and the people he has harmed are definitely not only you!" Wouldn't it be cheaper to kill him now? Don't worry, in three days, this official will behead him in front of you in the vegetable market in the city! ”

"And uncle, your land will definitely be returned to you, no less at all!"

Hearing this, the people were immediately relieved, and after a burst of praise, they left one after another.
