After Cao Zhang entrusted Wei Zhen with the task of purging the remnants of the Chen family in Beiqu, he ordered the three armies to rest in situ, and now it is August of the seventh year of Jian'an, and it has entered the autumn, the harvest season, and all kinds of crops in the squire's manors in Beiqu have matured, but Cao Jun is stationed outside the county, and no family dares to come to harvest.

Even the Chen family did not plan to harvest their own crops, but instead came to Bian Jing's camp with their family and strong men, looking like they had given up all their belongings and traveled far away.

Three days later, Bian Jing took the Chen family to the fox to surrender to Li Wenhou, and Cao Zhang immediately ordered Wang Ling to take over the manors of all the Beiqu squires, including the Chen family and those attached to his family, collect all the crops, and then hoard them in Daying, while Wei Zhen began to purge the forces dependent on the Chen family in Beiqu County.

Wei Zhen purged those squires with nothing more than a method, that is, to rule the law by the country, Beiqu under the control of the Chen family has no officials at all, but a monolithic, several family governance methods, which can be used in the Han law to control the crime of rebellion, the Chen family and Bian Jing have already written a letter of surrender when they took refuge in the imperial court, so Cao Zhang can go to the imperial court to pardon their crimes.

But these squires who were attached to the Chen family did not write, in fact, they didn't know to write a book of surrender at all, thinking that if the Chen family descended, they would naturally descend, Wei Zhen made a fuss about this, saying that they were 'despising the Son of Heaven and not reciting the grace of the saint', which was enough to rob the family and exterminate the clan, of course, these squires who were attached to the Chen family became victims of Beiqu Anning, and all of them were punished by the nine clans.

Cao Zhang just asked Wei Zhen to purge the rest of the party, but did not say how to implement it, so Wei Zhen's methods were straightforward, simple and ruthless, which was also to remove obstacles for him to join the Huo family and the Wei family he was born in.

In Cao Zhang's opinion, Wei Zhen is the most suitable person to carry out this task, because in his opinion, the remnants of the force are of course the cleaner the better, and it is naturally Wei Zhen who agrees with Cao Zhang on this point, because he is related to his family's vital interests.

Therefore, three days after Bian Jing and the Chen family left, there were many more souls in Beiqu County, and Cao Zhang had long been accustomed to this kind of killing to achieve his goal, so he naturally would not feel uneasy.

In late August, the remnants of the Chen family had been swept away, because these people were big families who oppressed the people on weekdays, so their death only made the people happy, and Cao Zhang ordered to distribute part of the stolen property and food to the people, so the hearts of the people in Beiqu were still stable after a round of killings.

On this day, Cao Zhang and Wei Zhen met with several representatives of the common people in the Beiqu County Government, to put it bluntly, he was the leader of the Beiqu mob, representing a total of three people, one was a craftsman named Zhang Ping who built a house, one was a craftsman named Chen Xing who made a car, and one was a blacksmith named Yang Ding.

The three of them have one thing in common, that is, they are strong, they have practiced martial arts at a glance, and they have a body of strength, this kind of person relies on his strength to fight for people on weekdays, and there will naturally be people in the countryside who admire and follow, and Cao Zhang needs such a person now.

The three mob leaders are small and medium-sized people in the county, and they don't know anything about the world, although Cao Zhang is now famous all over the world, but these people don't know each other, and they can't hide the surprise in their hearts when they see Cao Zhang, after all, Cao Zhang is only thirteen years old this year, although he has grown into a heroic young man, but there is still a little childishness on his face, and the age shown by this appearance is too young for a commander who commands the three armies.

Cao Zhang politely exchanged a few words with them, and then set up a banquet to entertain them, and let Wei Zhen accompany them, which can be regarded as a few weeks of courtesy, for these three outlaws who usually fight against big households, this kind of courtesy is really the first time in their lives, although they regard killing big families and robbing property as leisure, but in the final analysis, it is still a local small people, seeing Cao Zhang's mighty nearly 100,000 troops under the north bend, it is inevitable that his heart is shocked, and now the commander of this army treats them with courtesy, and naturally has a feeling of flattery.

Cao Zhang doesn't know how to characterize this delicate relationship between people, as if since he has been in battle several times and led troops, he naturally has a kind of bearing, or an aura, whether it is Wei Zhen, Bian Jing, or even Gongsun Xu, Xiahou Heng, Zhang Yan, they are easy to accept their own views, which is in respect for him Cao Zhang.

Cao Chang didn't know whether this respect came from his father Cao Cao or himself, nor did he know whether it came from power or his own talent or military exploits, maybe a little, but at this time, sitting in the county government, the three murderous mob leaders sat in front of him, and behaved restrained and like pins and needles for his courtesy, which made Cao Zhang understand that this was a kind of bearing of the superior.

Whether the other party is in awe of his strength, force, intelligence or talent, in the final analysis, it is the awe of strength, and the awe of Cao Zhang by the three people in front of him should come from Cao Zhang's extraordinary military strength and decisive style of killing.

After three rounds of drinking, Cao Zhang suddenly smiled: "The three of them were born in the market, and they still have the courage to resist the Beiqu bully Chen family, which is admirable, I don't know how the three of them escaped the pursuit and reward of the Chen family on weekdays?" ”

Blacksmith Yang Ding replied: "My lord, the three of us only accept apprentices and do legitimate business on weekdays, and the big families send people to oppress us, so naturally we swallow our anger, but sometimes we will take advantage of the big families to send people to the townships outside the county to collect taxes and kill a few of them, during this period we lied that we were going to do business with the Hu people, and the shops in the county were taken care of by our families and apprentices, and the Chen family didn't know that we were against them. If you need help from the people, we won't send people to contact you. ”

Cao Zhang nodded when he heard this, and said in his heart that this group of people went out to kill people in disguise, which is similar to the rangers, and the people in the countryside outside Beiqu County are grateful for their hoeing and violence, so they will naturally send them some property, presumably these three people will not show their true faces so they will not be found at all, in the Han Dynasty more than two thousand years ago, the efficiency of investigating suspects is far lower than that of modern times, not to mention that the officials are not even, and a Beiqu County controlled by the family, it is needless to say.

Wei Zhen said at this time: "The three heroes were very cautious at the beginning, and told the end of a bully who usually helped to abuse, and let the last general kill him to show his sincerity, and then he was willing to show up." ”

Cao Zhang naturally didn't know that there were still these twists and turns in the middle, and suddenly there was a feeling of being in the rivers and lakes, the three mob leaders asked Wei Zhen to kill people naturally to ask him to vote for his name, this method is naturally very naïve in Cao Zhang's opinion, but for three people who have not read or been educated, it is not bad to be able to come up with this method, no wonder there are always people who say: The rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes.

Maybe there are no rules in the rivers and lakes, it is these straight men who constitute the rivers and lakes, and their rules have become the rules of the rivers and lakes, Cao Zhang was born in the house of the eunuchs, and these unformed people in the rivers and lakes are two people, but it does not affect Cao Zhang's acceptance of them for his own use, Cao Zhang, who has studied ancient Chinese history, can be said to have a better understanding of the rise and fall of the past dynasties, plus he is now in it, he should prove what he has learned, and his vision can be said to span two thousand years.

So Cao Zhang said: "Actually, I invited three of you here today because I want to ask three of you for something. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
