Gao Huan looked at the people in the audience and was very excited, and he was very satisfied with his trick of killing people with a knife to transfer hatred, although he did something, but these people should have been killed, but now where they died, even if they did something good for the local people. The county magistrate and the fat pig-like squire were immediately pulled down and wiped off, and the two boxes of gold and silver on the stage were taken and divided on the spot, although each family may only get one or two silver, but for ordinary people in the countryside, this two pieces of silver is also a small half a year's living expenses.

Gao Huan also opened a warehouse to give grain, each household gave ten catties of brown rice, two catties of millet, and two catties of pork, and if it was not enough, it was mobilized from the grain and grass of the troops, and it was certain that his army would starve, but the entire Rencheng had instantly fluttered a red flag, and Gao Huan's support rate here instantly reached 99.99 percent. That's not all, Gao Huan ordered the burial of the soldiers and people who died in the war, and held a grand sacrifice ceremony. This series of measures is all aimed at gaining people's hearts.

Soon, what happened in Rencheng spread throughout Yanzhou, and even throughout Shandong. The image of Gao Huan's Eastern Wei army suddenly changed from an invader to a guardian army, and those separatist forces became rebels. The situation has changed drastically, and the people's will and public opinion have become quite powerful for Gao Huan.

"Your majesty, you are really powerful, only half of the property found in this search has subdued people's hearts properly, and the small ones admire your methods very much." Li Erhu was a sycophant to Gao Huan in the camp tent, but this is why this sounds so awkward. That's right, Gao Huan hid half of his belongings when he raided his house, but he wasn't greedy for money. This is a necessary means to ensure the loyalty of his subordinates, and when the water is clear, there is no fish to perceive and know that there are no disciples, and people's hearts are selfish. Who can be selfless and selfless and follow Gao Huan to be a good servant of the people without money, Gao Huan is willing, but his subordinates are definitely unwilling.

Some people said, Gao Huan is not right to do this, my heart is too dark, I just want to say a fair word, when a person is for the benefit of most people. On the premise of losing the interests of a small number of people, give a little benefit to the people of your own cronies, in order to work harder for the welfare of the people in the future. There should be nothing wrong with this, although the means are not good-looking, but who in this world dares to say that he has never done a bad thing in his life, and he has not done a single thing that lacks morality. Clean as white paper?

For thousands of years, corruption has not been severed since the relationship between human beings and human interests. It is impossible to eradicate this malaise like a cancer, but it is precisely because of this cancer that those tall and positive sages have been produced, and there are clean officials who have been upright and disciplined for the government.

There are contrasts between black and white, good and evil, high and low, beautiful and ugly in the world, and it is precisely the two opposites of good and bad that form a complete social consciousness. If everyone is perfect, there is no bad root and weakness, and there is no flaw in a good life. If life is smooth without a setback, is such a world normal?

What the author wants to say is that people living in the world must always tolerate some bad things, and actively face those bad factors, so as to strengthen themselves and help others, and being sanctimonious is definitely not what you want to do.

Gao Huan is just a mortal who follows the trend, he has no strength to fight against the ******** of the entire society, what he can do is to make all the good and evil, the beautiful and the ugly, the black and the white, high and low, as peaceful as possible within the controllable range. This is the common sense of life that a young white-collar worker has gained after experiencing so many things after traveling through the past.

"Erhu, you are still so direct, how much did you share in the stolen goods this time?" Gao Huan looked at him with interest and asked, this grandson immediately smiled shamelessly: "A little, just a little, I didn't expect that now I can fight with the king and divide the gold and silver after eating and drinking like before, hahaha." ”

Gao Huan's face immediately changed, and he said a little unhappily: "We are officers and soldiers, what are you talking about?" You kid be careful with me, don't let me know that you are corrupt and oppressive to the people in office. Otherwise, even if the king of heaven comes to intercede, I can't spare you, you know? ”

Seeing Gao Huan's face suddenly change, Li Erhu was so frightened that he quickly knelt down to make amends, and kowtowed again and again: "The king is angry, the villain is guilty, and the king is angry." This is called a companion like a tiger, from time to time to give them a little pressure, lest they all think they are the only ones who dare to do anything.

Gao Huan waved his hand and said indifferently: "You are also an old man who follows me to fight the world, don't always be proud and think that I won't punish you, as long as you work hard in office, don't smear me, I will lose your wealth and glory?" He said this not only to Li Erhu, but also to everyone present, and the atmosphere in the big tent was a little dignified.

Gao Huan immediately spoke: "Let's not talk about this in advance, now let's talk about the actual situation, Rencheng has been taken, Pingyuan has also been taken, and Dongping County has now been taken by Erhu, leaving this Yanzhou City to resist stubbornly, right." ”

Xu Mingzhi hurriedly stepped forward and echoed: "What the king said is that at present, there are only two rebels and bandits in Yanzhou, Gaoping County and Yanzhou City, and the thieves in Jiyin and Dongtaishan have broken down and have surrendered to us. ”

Li Erhu immediately patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, your king, although my troops are not as strong as the king's personal guards, at least it shouldn't be a big problem to wipe out the rebels in Gaoping." ”

"Okay, I'll be relieved with your words, so let's do it, the rebels in Gaoping County will be dealt with by you, and the people will be swept away as soon as possible, and we will take Yanzhou City and we will converge east and enter South Qingzhou." General Murong was still fighting with Xiahou Xiang. Gao Huan is not worried about the situation in Xuzhou at the moment, it is said that Wang Fadu and Chen Xianda are infighting because of the problem of military food scheduling, and Gao Huan does not want to disturb their "honeymoon period" at this moment, let them kill each other, the bigger the trouble, the better.

At this moment, the guards suddenly received Qingluo's flying pigeon message, Gao Huan took the secret letter to check, the content of it made him both surprised and happy, it turned out that Chen Xianda was far away from Liang State, and the military rations could not be smoothly transported to the territory of Wei State, so he wanted Wang Fadu to bear this expense problem, and Wang Fadu was already too busy to take care of himself. There was no spare energy to help him, so the two broke up unhappily, and Chen Xianda learned about Gao Huan's actions in Yanzhou. planned to lead the army to make a detour to Yuzhou, intending to plunder Gaoyue's grain and grass.

If this news is true, it will be dangerous for Gao Yue's 50,000 horses, but for Gao Huan, this is an opportunity, ambush Chen Xianda on the main road back to Xuzhou along the way, waiting for an opportunity to kill him, if there is no such trouble, the situation in the whole Shandong will be much easier.

This is no small matter. Gao Huan immediately sent spies to investigate Chen Xianda's details and intentions.

"King, this is Cao Xian's henchman, Sun Youcai." Xu Mingzhi introduced. Gao Huan and Gao Zhongming in the secret room, as well as Xu Mingzhi and this person named Sun Youcai, this person is the prime minister, confidant and head of internal affairs who claims to be Cao Xian, the son of Huwei, and he took the initiative to contact Gao Huan. said that he wanted to abandon the darkness and turn to the side of the official army.

"Tell me about it. Do you have any messages to exchange to me. Gao Huan wanted to talk about the details of this person and see if he was worth negotiating with him.

"Back to the king's words, this Cao Xian was originally a scoundrel in the market, and the villain was from a county, and later it was said that he did a little **** business (that is, to collect robbery and murder black goods to the black market for profit) and made a fortune, bought land and bought a house in the Xiapi area, and became the richest man there. He took the opportunity to gather his own disciples and gang up with a group of bandits to kill officials and rob official food, and the small ones had no way to live because of the disaster. I had to mess around with them. Later, the grain of Xiapi was eaten up, and nearly 10,000 of them had no way to run to Donghai County to eat, a few days ago Cao Xian merged the gang of bandits, and he now has no money and no food, and plans to go south to the Northern Yangzhou Assassin of Liang State. The little one saw that Liang Guo definitely didn't end well, so he wanted to come over. ”

Gao Huan understood that he was also desperate now, probably because he was afraid that he would leave his hometown and be killed in the Liang Kingdom, and he was reluctant to have his current wife and children, so he chose to surrender in desperation. It stands to reason that Gao Huan, such a person, will not accept his surrender, because he is not sincere in surrendering, and in the future, when the rumors have passed and it is possible that he will continue to do evil and misconduct in the local area, it is better to solve the trouble immediately.

But because Cao Xian was not caught, he couldn't kill Sun Youcai now, so Gao Huan pretended to be deep and said: "I believe everything you say, but you have to do something to show your sincerity...... It is impossible for everyone to come to me empty-handed and surrender to me without any scruples, so how can I take my little brother in the future? You say yes, right? ”

Gao Huan is a person who sees what someone says, and when he talks to a big old man like Sun Youcai, he has to say **** jargon, he is easy to understand, otherwise who has the leisure to understand the meaning of what you say.

Sun Youcai raised his head and looked at Gao Huan a little fearfully, and said timidly: "Then what does the king want me to do?" ”

"I want you to give me Cao Xian's exact address, and I want to send someone to kill him." Gao Huan did not hide his intentions in front of him, and it didn't hurt to tell you, you poor people who were exhausted had no way to retreat and had nowhere to go.

"King, this Cao Xian is heavily guarded, and it is estimated that it is not easy to assassinate." Seeing that Gao Huan was a little displeased, Sun Youcai hurriedly said again: "The villain has a plan, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”

"Say it." Gao Huan waved his hand a little impatiently. Sun Youcai swallowed his saliva, and then said with a light in his eyes: "The villain is Cao Xian's happiness, he trusts the villain a lot, I have a way to capture him alive and sacrifice him to the king, so that the king can forgive the villain's sins?" ”

Gao Huan's eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Well said! If you really have the means to do this, not only will I not punish you, but I will reward you, so that you will be prosperous and rich for the rest of your life. ”

So Gao Huan and Sun Youcai agreed to deliver the goods in Zhangcheng in Langxi County in five days. Sun Youcai happily took Gao Huan's bounty and went back. Gao Huan looked at his departing back with a rare chill on his face. Li Erhu and Xu Mingzhi congratulated Gao Huan on his victory, and eliminated Cao Xian's forces without a single soldier. Gao didn't pay attention to it, which made Li Erhu and Xu Mingzhi a little embarrassed, thinking that Gao Huan didn't like his own Yingying.

When it came to the street day, it was a sunny evening, Gao Huan rode the frog treasure horse with an entourage of thirty or fifty people and waited in the city early, and after a while, he saw a group of people walking slowly in the distance, and the two people who led the horse, one walked in front of Sun Youcai, and the person tied on the back of the horse should be Cao Xian.

The people on both sides met in front of a deserted house, Sun Youcai rode a horse and approached, Li Gaohuan and they were twenty meters away, arched his hand on the horseback and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi really does not enter the tiger's den to get the tiger, for the head of our king to come to the joint." ”

"Sun Youcai, don't talk nonsense, where is Cao Xian, send it over quickly, I have prepared gold, silver and jewelry for you here, which is enough for your life's expenses." Gao Huan was impatient to talk nonsense with him, this person was always playing tricks, which made him feel very disgusted. (To be continued.) )
