Mi Fang was not an iron-clad man, under Lu Bu's coercion and temptation, he never said a word, but his personal guards couldn't stand the torture and explained to the families involved in the rebellion one by one. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lü Bu sent Xiao Xiong to lead the soldiers to attack the Chenjia side branch, the Tao family, and the Mi family overnight, and captured all the local people involved in the camp.

Lu Bu didn't want to kill the Chen family's side branch, he also wanted to go to Guangling to mess around, Guangling is now in the hands of the Chen family, and the Chen family has been offended. And the family is still in Cao Cao's hands, Lu Bu originally wanted to find an opportunity to exchange Cao Chun for them, could it be that the family didn't do anything in Cao Cao's hands?

Since they dared to resist, Lu Bu didn't want to be wronged, and used iron-blooded means to deter them, and Cao Cao didn't dare to do anything to his family when he took care of Cao Chun. The Chen family wanted to defend Guangling, but it was a big deal to spend some effort to attack the city, and after the city was broken, all the families involved in defending the city were wiped out, to deter other families who dared to resist, they didn't want to be wiped out, either to defend the city, or to open the door and surrender.

Lu Bu sat alone in the big tent, sleepless, thinking of Yan Lin, who was far away in Xuchang, he couldn't make up his mind, and was afraid that he would do too much, and he would really anger Cao Cao and kill them.

Affected by the memories of later generations, recalling that the people of the world were displaced and eaten, the high-rise buildings in the memory of the memory are simply paradise on earth. Lu Bu picked up the pen on the case and wrote a notice to calm the people, just waiting for tomorrow to appease the people after the Chen family and the three clans were wiped out, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.

The proclamation probably said that the people of Xuzhou were exempted from the complicated and heavy land population tax and other taxes, only the land tax was retained, and the tax was adjusted to 30 taxes and one tax under Emperor Wen. Although Lu Bu knew that it was not up to him to have the final say in Xuzhou now, he simply wanted to do the last thing for the people of Xuzhou when he left, and decided that in the future, the taxes of the people under his command would be collected according to thirty taxes. Cao Cao's replacement of Xuzhou's taxes in the future will only anger public opinion, and the people will naturally think of Lu Bu's goodness.

Looking at the lack of a large seal on the written notice, Lu Bu felt that it was not convincing.

"Someone." Lu Bu shouted outside the tent.

A short time later, a guard soldier entered.

"Go find a skilled craftsman to engrave a big seal of General Zuo for me." In the past, the seal ribbon sent by the Son of Heaven was taken away by Cao Cao, and Lu Bu decided to engrave one himself, anyway, Cao Cao didn't have the same thing as the Son of Heaven, and the princes of the world didn't have the same thing as the Son of Heaven, didn't Yuan Shao just wantonly give his subordinates a reward, and when the princes of the Eighteenth Road understood, didn't everyone appoint their official positions?

Before dawn, Xiao Xiong took the Mi family, the Chen family's side branches, and more than 2,000 people from the Tao family back to the camp, and Lu Bu asked Xiao Xiong to put these children of the family in prison first. Then he ordered someone to find Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun to discuss.

Seeing that Chen Gong Zhang Liao was the same as himself, he had rarely rested for several days, and his eyes were bloodshot, Lu Bu felt a little unbearable. Do they agree with what they think in their hearts?

"Wenyuan and Gongtai should take more time to rest, and they have been running around and working hard for days, don't drag Cao Cao down, and let us be tired first."

"Thank you for your concern, but we are like rootless duckweed, and I can't sleep at night when I think about it." Chen Gong arched his hand and said.

"I don't know why the lord is looking for the three of me?" Zhang Liao looked at Gao Shun, who was still covered in bandages, and said, Usually only when Lu Bu can't make up his mind, he will call Gao Shun, who is recuperating from his injuries, to discuss, indicating that something big is going to happen again.

"Are you worried about Xuchang's family?" Lu Bu planned to test their tone first.

"Taken hostage, in vain? As long as we don't die for a day, they won't be safe for a day. Gao Shun sighed, who doesn't miss his family.

"As long as our family is in Xuchang, we will be subject to Cao Cao everywhere, even if we take Guangling, if Cao Cao's edict is not obeyed, the lives of our families will not be guaranteed, and even if we are reluctant, we can only ruthlessly cut it off." Zhang Liao saw Lu Bu looking at him and said what was in his heart.

Chen Gong pondered for a while, thinking that Lu Bu specially invited them to discuss this matter, which was very strange, combined with Lu Bu's care for his family, Chen Gong faintly felt that he had guessed Lu Bu's thoughts, and persuaded him: "Lord, Cao Thief is suspicious by nature, even if we surrender and arrest, we may not be able to protect the family. ”

Chen Gong saw Lu Bu's incredible expression with a wide mouth, afraid that this lord would really surrender to Cao Cao for the sake of his family, and continued to persuade: "Can the lord remember the classics of Taigong Liu?" ”

Lu Bu nodded, he originally wanted to persuade them not to worry too much about their families, and then agreed to kill the Chen Deng clan. Lu Bu wanted to kill the Chen Deng clan because he wanted to warn the clans who rode the wall, and also to clean up the clans in the future to make psychological preparations for Chen Gong and the others in advance, but he didn't expect to be persuaded by the three of them.

Seeing Lu Bu nodding and continuing, Chen Gong continued: "Gaozu protects Taigong Liu with an indifferent attitude, and Liu Bei also protects the family several times with an indifferent attitude. Now that Cao Chun is in hand, he may be able to get it back in time, but the lord should not have too much hope. As Wen Yuan said, even if you are reluctant, you can't do anything, and I hope the lord will think twice! ”

"Now that everyone understands the current situation, the fate of the family is all in the hands of Cao Cao, it's not that we are ruthless and unjust, but there is nothing we can do." Since Lu Bu already knew the plans of the three of them, he told him the purpose of calling the three of them.

"I want to exterminate the Chen Qi family, and the Mi family and the Tao family who rebelled last night to warn the Shi clan, what do you think?"

"What! No, not the lord. "Chen Gongru Lu Bu's speculation doesn't want to directly oppose it, exterminating the clan is not child's play.

In the past, Cao Cao slaughtered the five cities of Xuzhou in order to avenge his personal revenge. I want to destroy the Chen Deng clan in order to deter the Shi clan in the future, so that they will not easily ride on the wall to watch, and the second is to repay the hatred of Chen Deng's father and son for their rebellion. Third, the big families exploited and ignorant the people, harmed the common people, occupied the land, and passed down the official position from generation to generation. "Lu Bu said it in a high-sounding manner, mainly because he wanted to kill Chen Deng to vent his anger, and then he tried his best to eliminate the big family and not let the tragedy of Wuhu Chaohua repeat.

"Does the lord have a good plan?" Gao Shun neither supported nor was he in a hurry to deny it, first to see what Lu Bu planned, if it worked, Gao Shun supported it, and if it didn't work, he opposed it.

"First of all, we should promote education for all, let the common people read and write, train a group of officials who can handle government affairs, break the monopoly of the scholars on official positions, and adopt the imperial examination system to replace the existing probation system. Then they killed a group of scholars and pulled a group, and the interests of the scholars were unevenly distributed, and their attitude of holding together for warmth was naturally self-defeating. Lu Bu thought about it, it is impossible to completely eradicate the Shi clan, and after beating the existing ones, there will be a new batch of new ones, only by breaking the rule that the people are illiterate and hyphenated, and breaking the rule that the Shi clan dominates the officialdom, can the status of the Shi clan be shaken from the foundation.

"What is the imperial examination system?"

"To put it simply, talents are selected through official examinations, regardless of their background."

"My lord, don't talk about the imperial examination system, once we implement education for all, we will definitely be fully opposed by the big families." As a member of the family, Chen Gong is very clear about the family's plans.

"That's why I want to use the Chen Qi clan to open the knife first, so that the family clan understands that if you oppose me Lu Bu, you have to oppose the knife in my Lu Bu's hand first."

"But the killing of Chen Qi and his family by the lord has nothing to do with the implementation of the imperial examination system."

"I'm just letting them see the means of betraying me and opposing me first!"

"If the lord exterminates Chen Jue, he will definitely anger the Cao thief, and the Cao thief will definitely kill our family members in order to appease Chen Deng to vent Chen Deng's anger, I hope the lord will think twice."

"Cao Chun is in my hands, he doesn't dare! Cao Chun is Cao Cao's clan relative, Cao Ren's brother, Cao's Xiahou clan is inextricably linked, Cao Cao killed our family, we will definitely strangle Cao Chun to take revenge, how can the Cao family let Cao Cao kill our family members to vent Chen Deng's anger. Besides, Chen Deng was loyal to Liu Bei, how could Cao Cao offend the Cao family and the Xiahou family at the same time when he lost a general for a Chen Deng who was not loyal to him? Lu Bu was also very afraid that Cao Cao would kill his family to appease Chen Deng, could it be that his family members didn't do this or that in Cao Cao's hands, and let him control it?

"I have written a letter in cursive, and the public station sent someone to give it to Cao Ren." After Lu Bu finished speaking, he handed the written letter to Chen Gong Zhang Liao to read. Lü Bu wrote a letter to Cao Ren to reveal the information of Chen Deng's loyalty to Liu Bei to Cao Cao through Cao Ren's mouth, and it was not difficult to distinguish whether Lü Bu was telling the truth or a lie with Cao Cao's wisdom and his suspicious character.

"The extermination of the clan involves a lot of things, and it seriously damages the reputation of the lord, so why not just punish the evil?" Chen Gong proposed to punish only the evil, which was unanimously agreed by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao.

"For the sake of future generations, what is personal honor and disgrace?" Lu Bu said in a high-sounding manner, secretly pursed his mouth in his heart, he has long been notorious, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?

Lu Bu continued: "I killed them to deter the big families who were watching from the wall, what is the use of killing a person? How many people can be scared? Well, that's it. "Lu Bu came to them to discuss, just to tell them that after exterminating the Chen Deng family, the family in Cao Cao's hands will be fine, and the soldiers' families are in Cao Cao's hands, so that Lu Bu will throw a mouse trap, in case Cao Cao threatens the lives of his family members, Lu Bu does not dare to guarantee that Zhang Liao Chen Palace will not give up his own way, and he must give them a reassurance pill first.

It was just dawn the next day.

The war drums of the Lü Bu barracks shook the sky, and the people who rushed to watch after hearing the news crowded the barracks, and Lü Bu sent more than 1,000 soldiers to maintain order to form a human wall to stop the people outside the temporary high platform.

Lu Bu brought out the children of the family who Xiao Xiong had arrested overnight from the prison.

Chen Jue, Chen Fei, Tao Cheng, and Mi Fang were the first to be escorted to the high platform, and now Chen Jue can't believe that Lu Bu really dares to destroy his clan, exterminating the clan is not a child's play, Lu Bu dares to kill him Chen Jue, Chen Jue believes it, but when it really comes to exterminating the clan, he feels that the sky is dark and unbelievable. The remaining more than 200 slaves of Chen Qi's family and his wife's second son, Chen An, were successively escorted by soldiers to the open space in front of the high platform, and were forcibly pressed to kneel on the ground by the soldiers.

Xu Shu looked at Lu Bu standing with his sword on the high platform in the crowd, clenched his fists, and sweated in his palms: "How dare he?" ”

Chen Gong took out the pre-written fold and recited it: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." Lu Bu, the general of the minister's left, is concerned about the Han family, and wants to support the general of the building with the strength of one person, poke Dong Zhuo, and resist Cao thieves to sweep away Yuyu.

The minister is vulgar, and he has been broken by traitors several times, so that the Son of Heaven is in the hands of traitors. Today, the loss of family and fleeing want to seek a foundation and deal with traitors, and return the world to prosperity.

Occasionally, the traitor party went down to Pi Chen Jue, and vainly said that the Son of Heaven had no jade seal of the country, and wanted to follow Wang Mang's example, rebelled against the usurper, and his crime was rebelled, and the law of the Han Dynasty ordered him to exterminate the clan. Captured more than 200 people of his clan, sent Chen An, the third son of Chen Qi, to Xuchang, handed over to the Son of Heaven, his eldest son Chen Deng, and his youngest son Chen Fangshang are still on the run.

The minister should have sent his three clans to Xuchang, however, the decree of the Son of Heaven did not go out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the minister Lu Bu punished the Son of Heaven on behalf of the Son of Heaven. ”

After Chen Gong finished reading, Zhang Liao pulled out the long sword at his waist and raised it to the sky: "Chop." ”

The knife and axe hand on the high platform pressed Chen Qi's neck and cut off Chen Qi's head with a knife. Chen Qi's head rolled out of the distance, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't believe that Lu Bu really dared to kill him until he died. A soldier took the bamboo slip handed over by Chen Gong, sealed it with Chen Qi's blood, and sent it to Xuchang with Chen Qi's head.
