Chapter 124: The Pedantic Sage
"Xun Shangshu is not angry, and General Song is also unintentional." Hua Xin opened his mouth to reassure.
Xun You is now the Taishou of Runan, and he holds the position of "Shangshu" in the court - of course, Runan is still under the control of Yuan Shu, and Runan Taishou can listen to a sound, just like the Hanzhong Taishou of Eastern Wu and the commander of the Mongolian Navy in the later generations......
"I didn't have any emotion, but I heard that under the command of Bai Gong, the law is strict and the military discipline is like iron, but now it seems that it ......"
Xun You also understood that there was nothing to say about the barbarians of Bingzhou with Lu Bu, after all, these people had an enmity with Cao Cao, and they had different etiquette, but Hua Xin, Wang Lang, and Kong Rong were good at speaking.
However, as soon as he heard Xun You's words, Wang Lang of the Criminal Department raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? In Xun Shangshu's opinion, how can the algorithm be strict? Because General Song mentioned the word 'eunuch', he beheaded him in the city? In Yanzhou, is there such a rule? ”
Xun You had also tested the attitudes of Hua Xin, Wang Lang and others before, but he did not make a clear judgment, after all, Xun You couldn't ask clearly, and now Cao Cao had to form an alliance with Bai Tu.
And he asked unclearly, how could Hua Xin, the old foxes, answer clearly?
At this time, being so straightforward by Wang Lang, Xun Yudeng understood - Wang Lang really decided to take refuge in Baitu, not because of the appointment of the imperial court!
Wang Lang was good at torture, and was appointed by Bai Tu as the head of the Criminal Department, and at the same time, Wang Lang was very resistant to torture, so he had a bad feeling for the brutal First Emperor.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the criminal investigation methods were very backward, what did Wang Lang rely on to judge the case?
In addition to logic, that is eloquence - Bai Tu has read several of Wang Lang's "clear" files, all of which rely on the advantage of his tongue, so that the criminal can reveal his flaws and finally be undeniable.
Hearing Xun Yu questioning Jiangdong's law, Wang Lang immediately opened his mouth to satirize Cao Cao's killing of scholars.
And it's not easy for Xun You to refute this matter directly, because in this matter, including their uncles and nephews, many Cao Cao's aides from the family also disagree.
"Speaking of this testimony...... Xin also heard about something, it is said that Mrs. Yang was implicated and imprisoned because of Yuan Shu's traitorous matter, I don't know if there is such a thing? Since the earthquake of the ancestors of the Yang family, the fourth Taiwei, the loyalty to the Han family can be demonstrated, if Cao Sikong just because of the in-laws, he will put the old Taiwei Yang in prison, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public. Hua Xin asked about Yang Biao.
If it was a side matter, maybe Jiangdong wouldn't know it so soon, but the replacement of the three princes was automatically transmitted to the county concubines of all counties in the world.
Yang Biao, as a lieutenant, can be said to be the pillar of the Han court now, one of the few bigwigs who can be feared by Cao Cao.
In addition, Yang Biao ignored Cao Cao's several overtures, and this time, because Yuan Shu's wife was born in the Yang family, Cao Cao directly took Yang Biao and tortured him!
Cao Cao is indeed untenable in this matter, after all, according to the current values, the daughter who marries out cannot implicate the mother's family, and Yang Biao is also a well-known pillar minister in the sea, and the Yang family is a top family that is not comparable to the Yuan family.
Although in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yang family was far less dazzling than the Yuan family, but it has always been incense, and even in the historical process without the White Rabbit effect, Yang Biao will be six generations back, and the Yang family will also produce a founding emperor who will restore the Han Dynasty and end the division of the Northern and Southern Dynasties - Yang Jian.
Before Xun You set off, Xun Yu and Guo Jia also went to persuade Cao Cao to release Yang Biao.
However, Cao Cao still handed Yang Biao over to Xudu County to deal with Manchu, although Xun Yu and Guo Jia also went to Manchu and told him not to abuse torture, but ...... Who is Full Pet? Xun You felt that Yang Biao fell into his hands, and this beating was indispensable.
It's just that in front of outsiders, Xun You will never show cowardice, even if he doesn't agree with Cao Cao's treatment of Yang Biao, he still retorts: "This is the meaning of the Son of Heaven, and it has nothing to do with Cao Sikong." ”
"Heh, Emperor Ping Xuwei, Wang Mang also doesn't know?" Kong Rong said disdainfully at this time.
The Wei family is the wife and relatives of Emperor Han Ping, and the extermination of the Wei family is naturally done by the powerful minister Wang Mang, and it cannot be said that it is the idea of Emperor Han Ping......
Xun You heard that his chest was blocked - why did Wang Mang come out? I immediately understood in my heart that these three didn't need to be recruited together!
Kong Shaofu said seriously...... Now there is Cao Sikong in the court, and there is a pillar like Baiyangzhou outside, and the Han family is prosperous, how can there be Wang Mang and his ilk. Xun You must resolutely refute this.
"Okay, I believe that the imperial court with Cao Sikong will not disappoint the people of the world, everyone...... Today is a festive feast, and there are so many family members here, so don't talk about business. Bai Tu said with a bottle at this time, interrupting the argument of several people.
However, in his heart, Bai Tu loves Kong Rong very much, and he likes his straightforward character!
In history, Kong Rong also went to Cao Cao to intercede because of Yang Biao's affairs, but the example given was "If King Zhou Cheng wants to kill Shao Gong, can Zhou Gong say that he doesn't know" - Shao Gong and Zhou Gongdan are the same generation, and they are also important ministers surnamed Ji who assisted King Zhou Cheng.
At that time, Kong Rong still had expectations for Cao Cao, and although he refuted Cao Cao's pushing, he gave him a high hat of "Duke Zhou".
Now Kong Rong is only looking forward to the white picture, and the example is directly replaced by "Wang Mang Xuwei", which is so upright.
After Bai Tu steered the conversation away, the feast continued.
Although the braised pork and pork rib soup after that also tasted good, Xun You was already in no mood, and just insisted on it with a business-style smile until the end of the banquet, and then took the opportunity to mention the matter of sending troops to fight against Yuan Shun.
"Hey, as a pastor in Yangzhou, he should protect the territory and the people, this sword and soldier thing is really ominous, and it is good to ......assist Cao Gong" Bai Tu behaved very cowardly, very much like a pedantic person who is afraid of conquest.
"Wait! Then Yuan Shu stole Yangzhou Prefecture, how could we do nothing? When Lu Bu heard this, he was the first to get up and stop.
"This ......" Bai Tu seemed to be a little hesitant about Lu Bu's identity.
Gan Ning also said at this time: "Lord, if a good opportunity is given today, we should rise up and conquer the city, go north from the mouth of the river, go down to Chaocheng first, and then take Hefei ......."
"Shut up! Gan Ning, where do you place the people displaced by the war? Where are the wives, parents, and children of the soldiers who died in battle? Bai Tu said angrily.
It seems that Bai Tu's position is really unwilling to lightly start the sword soldiers...... Even if it's a godsend!
It's just that in the face of his father-in-law Lu Bu, it is not easy to refute directly, but he has a tough attitude towards Gan Ning.
"The lord's mansion is kind-hearted and has a common reputation at home, but now that the court is summoning, how can the lord ignore the people of Huainan? The old man had the courage to suggest that Zhang Taishou of Wu County lead a steady army to the north to respond to the royal division of the imperial court. Lu Kang suggested at this time.
"This ...... Wu Jun is now undecided, so it is better to drive General Sun to go...... From now on, move Sun Ce to Danyang Taishou, lead the army north to Wankou, recover Wancheng, Ganning...... Move to the meeting and keep it! Bai Tu finally decided.
Danyang County and Lujiang County face each other across the river, for the sake of the smooth military and political smoothness in the rear, Sun Ce, who moved to the main attack, was the proper meaning of Danyang Taishou, and the original Danyang Taishou Ganning was directly "assigned" to the Huiji of the poor mountains and bad waters, which also reflected Bai Tu's dissatisfaction with him.
At least in Xun You's opinion, Bai Tu behaves like his prestige - a great sage, but he is not good at military politics and does not have too much ambition.
It's just that some of his subordinates seem to be a little unwilling to be lonely, especially Lu Bu, who still harbors malice towards Cao Gong, and Hua Xin, Wang Lang and others have completely taken refuge in Baitu - as celebrities, it is indeed in their interests to defend Daxian for the sake of fame...... Xun You narrowed his eyes and secretly analyzed.
Of course, Xun You didn't completely believe this side of the story, but the understanding after that made him believe it more and more!
