After Cao Cao returned to Juancheng, he gathered his ministers and summed up the lessons of the Yanzhou turmoil. He couldn't figure it out, Zhang Miao was my best friend, and Chen Gong was the first to follow me, why did the two of them turn against each other and go to welcome Lu Bu into Yan? What do I have to be sorry for them? Can Lu Bu be stronger than me?

Xue Yi spoke first and helped analyze: "Zhang Mengzhuo and Chen Gongtai have no ambitions, they just want to protect Yanzhou. And the lord went to the state on several expeditions, and the grain, grass, and materials were all provided by the local government, so the two were dissatisfied, and it was also normal for people to do so. ”

Cao Cao said that they were dissatisfied because of this, which made sense, but because of such a little dissatisfaction, they actually met with me, which is not very reasonable, it is a little too much. There must be other reasons.

Ren Jun said: "In the past, Wenli was arrogant and presumptuous, and offended the lord, but he was not guilty of capital crimes, and he blatantly killed him, so that the Yanzhou scholars were separated. Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were the leaders of the scholars, and they persuaded the lord not to obey, and the upper ones were not credible, and the lower ones were covered by the small group, so they rebelled. Jun asked the lord to give benevolent government from now on and comfort the scholars, and Yanzhou will naturally be safe. ”

Mao Jue stood up against Ren Jun's opinion, saying: "Boda only sees the surface, but not the inside. The Yanzhou family is widely spread, such as vines implicated, all of them are selfish in their industries, and they are not sympathetic to the country. The lord entered Yanzhou, eliminated the filthy officials, punished the powerful, and the soldiers were repeatedly raised, and the taxes were heavy, so they had a long grudge. It's just that although he is resentful, he does not go to the land of death and life, and he does not dare to take the blade of the lord alone. The lord punished Bian Wenli, so that everyone was in danger, thinking that the disaster would not turn around, and even took risks. Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were just held hostage by them. ”

Cao Cao nodded while listening, and even said that it made sense, it made sense.

Finally, Xun Yu made a concluding speech: "Governing the troubled times and using heavy canons is also something that has to be done, but like a famous man like Bian Wenli, the lord should also focus on appeasement, if it is not necessary, do not kill in vain." Yanzhou scholars are selfish and have no public intentions, and they have a sad sigh of rabbit death and fox when they see the Wenli of Xubian, and they support Zhang Mengzhuo and Chen Gongtai for chaos. ”

Xiahoudun gritted his teeth next to him and said: "Yuan Benchu asked the lord to punish Zhang Miao, but the lord did not obey, now it seems that this person is really the bane, and he should be eliminated as soon as possible." Seems to be this scum, if you should be punished, Mr. Wen Ruo is not too weak? ”

Cao Cao waved his hand at him: "Yuan let Shen Yan." If what Wen said is true, a certain should be used as a lesson. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Shixun: "What does Hongsuke think?" ”

It was Xun Xin who said that you had a good chat, why did you suddenly remember to ask me? I have my own unique views on the turmoil in Yanzhou, but in front of the public, some words are not so easy to speak. So he squeezed his eyes at Cao Cao, and said casually: "As the saying goes, 'the daughter-in-law marries into the room, and the matchmaker throws it over the wall'......"

Everyone was stunned and asked what he meant. Shi Xun explained: "This is the old vernacular saying - the bride is welcome, and the matchmaker can be discarded. It also crosses the river to demolish the bridge and go to the house to draw the ladder. In the past, they welcomed the lord in order to reject the yellow scarf, but now that the yellow turban is flat, the lord and them are useless, and it is naturally chaotic. ”

Cao Cao nodded, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting, and at the same time ordered: "Hongfu will stay for the time being, the poem 'Peaceful and Poor Keeper' presented by Qing the day before yesterday is very interesting, and he wants to talk to Qing deeply." ”

It turned out that because it was Xun's village was destroyed by Cheng Lian, the general of Lu Bu's department, although the houses were not burned down, the goods in it were almost looted. So when he returned to Juancheng, he went to Cao Cao with a shy face to cry, Cao Cao said Hongfu, you have made this great achievement, I will reward you with some more money, why is the husband have no money, you cry a fart.

It was Xun who wanted to pretend to be clear, so he chanted Tao Yuanming's poem "Song of the Poor": "Those who are poor and lowly have been Qianlou since ancient times." I am not honored to be a good lord, and I am not rewarded for being generous. Once the life span is exhausted, the service is still not enough. Don't you know the extreme, it's not worry-free. It has never been seen for thousands of years. The dynasty is born with benevolence and righteousness, and what can be asked for when the night dies. "I mean I'm not greedy for vanity, I've always been poor and happy, so I'm just asking you for enough money and food to live, and I don't plan to open my mouth.

Cao Cao was full of praise for his poem at the time, but this time he was left alone, not really to discuss poetry - it was just an excuse - when the big guys were gone, he pulled Shixun to his side and asked in a low voice: "Hongfu is inexhaustible, and now he can speak freely." ”

It was Xun Xin who said Cao Mengde, you are really sensitive, okay, I will nag you well with my belly. Mao Jue and Xun Yu are not uninformed, but as the so-called "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain", they do not look at the Yanzhou issue from a higher historical perspective than Lao Tzu. In the original history, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong once colluded with Lu Bu to rebel, and the reason is similar to this timeline, Lao Tzu will synthesize the insights of the past two thousand years and make a table with you.

So he asked first, what was the main purpose of Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others when they welcomed the lord into Yanzhou? Cao Cao replied: "If you want to make a certain retreat from the yellow scarf, the security guard Yanzhou is also." Shi Xun nodded, and explained in more detail: "They used to welcome the lord, one was to retreat the yellow scarf, and the other was to protect Yanzhouβ€”but the Yanzhou in their hearts was not the Yanzhou in the hearts of the lords. The so-called Yanzhou of the lord is one of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. And their so-called Yanzhou is just their township and family property, whether the state can get their taxes, whether the people can get it and live in peace, what does it have to do with them? ”

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly urged, Hongfu, don't sell it, hurry up.

So Shi Xun analyzed with Cao Cao that since the former Han Zhao, Xuan, and Yuan dynasties, the separation of the strong and the strong is a big problem, and the court uses more cool officials to severely punish the strong, but even so, it has never been able to solve the chronic disease, and finally makes the land annexation problem more and more strict, so there is a public opinion to change the dynasty. Wang Mang took advantage of this public opinion to rise up and wanted to nationalize all the land, thinking that in this way, the annexation problem could be solved, but the result was that the world was in chaos, and finally Emperor Guangwu revived the Han family.

However, the issue of land annexation in the Later Han Dynasty was only stricter than that in the former Han Dynasty, especially in those places, where the powerful and powerful gradually colluded with the bureaucrats and completely hollowed out the country. The people had no land to cultivate, and they were reduced to slaves and maids, with no food and clothing, so they naturally rose up, and there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion. I guess you can see this very clearly, my lord.

Cao Cao understood, and said that since I entered Yanzhou and surrendered the Yellow Turban, I have adopted strict punishment and strict laws to stop the annexation and crack down on Haoqiang, so those big families are all dissatisfied and want to support Zhang Miao and Chen Gong to rebel against me. But they don't want to think about it, if I don't do this, the people of Yanzhou will not be able to be stable, the government will not be clear, once the war breaks out again, at that time, I am afraid they will not even be able to save their lives, let alone property?

Shi Xun shook his head and sighed: "This is also a blind eye, and those who don't see Mount Tai are also." "Those guys are very short-sighted, and it's useless for you to talk to them about long-term benefits.

In the original history, it was because after Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, he vigorously attacked the wealthy families, and at the same time wantonly looted the property of these scholars for military operations, which led to the rebellion of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong. On this timeline, Shi Xun originally thought that Cao Cao had Xuzhou to protect the flank, and his strength had nearly doubled, and at the same time, because of the Tuntian policy, the local looting had also been reduced, and this chaos might not be able to make trouble. Who would have thought that those big families could not see clearly on the one hand, and on the other hand, you would rob me of a penny, and rob me of two cents, and they would think too highly of themselves and not allow the slightest offense, and in the end they repeated the rebellion in the original history.

So it was Xun to Cao Cao's conclusion that you must not be soft from now on!

Cao Cao originally suppressed the power of the corrupt clans, because he knew very well that the collusion of these big families would not only endanger the country's society, but also threaten his own rule. However, the power of the family is too huge, Cao Cao wants to move the family, just like Yugong wants to move mountains, without the gods from heaven, this task will not be completed at all. Therefore, since the Yanzhou turmoil, every time he suffers a little setback, he is forced to make certain concessions to the family. As a result, the family gradually recovered with the stability of the situation in various places and the recovery of production, and finally made a comeback in the Cao Pi era, and then created the super decadent and super nervous Wei, Jin, and Southern Dynasties.

Shi Xun didn't want that kind of era, and the resulting "Five Hu Chaohua" to be born according to the original laws of history, so he took the opportunity to cheer up Cao Cao, saying that not only can you not make certain concessions to the family as Xun Yu said, but just take advantage of this opportunity to set things right and carry out a big purge. It is true that if you kill too many people, I am afraid that it will hinder your reputation, but confiscating the "reverse property" of the rebels is justifiable, and it can enrich your own pockets, so why not do it?

Cao Cao was originally a ruthless and retributive guy, and he was overjoyed to hear this. But it was Xun who also pleaded with him: "Today's words, be careful not to leak them, otherwise it will not only be unfavorable to Xun, but also to the lord." "Don't tell me it's my idea, or I'll be finished! Cao Cao held his hand: "Hongfu and relax, as the so-called 'if the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if the minister is not secret, he will **", Cao will not talk to others." ”

So Cao Cao turned his head and said to Xun Yu, I want to punish those who dare to follow Zhang Miao and Chen Gong to rebel, do you say it's better to kill or kill or kill? Xun Yu persuaded repeatedly, saying that the lord, have you not accepted the lesson yet? Why do you want to kill again? Cao Cao muttered for a long time, and finally gave in, saying that they would be exempted from the death penalty and their property should be confiscated.

Xun Yu said don't mind, you might as well persuade them to donate part of their property to atone for their sins, so that they can accept it more easily, and your reputation will not be damaged. Cao Cao said okay, if you have a way, then you can handle it accordingly.

Cao Cao wiped Lu Bu with a fight, and the big families in Yanzhou were afraid that he would settle accounts after the autumn, which was everyone's own danger. At this time, Xun Yu issued an official document, saying that all counties should strictly investigate the rebellious people, these guys are extremely evil, they should be beheaded, Gu Nian is a first-time offender, and the net is open, as long as half of the family property is handed over, they can be exempted. At the same time, those who remain firm and unwavering in the turmoil will be rewarded.

For Chengyang County, where Shixun once served as a county magistrate, that is, half of Li Quan and Li Yizhong's property were confiscated, and half of them were rewarded to Ning Ke Ning Zhi.
