A knight with chapped lips walked in and bowed to Cao Cao, who was sitting on the throne, "I've seen the king." ”

"Let's be flat." Cao Cao said lightly.

"Thank you, the king." The messenger stood up straight, pulled out a bamboo tube from his chest and said, "Xuzhou is urgent, and please ask the king to take a look." ”

The bamboo tube was taken by the people on the side and sent to Cao Cao, who did not open it for the first time, but asked the messenger, "What is the matter?" ”

Everyone in the hall also looked at the messenger, after all, Xuzhou lost Huaipu, and the matter of Huaiyin had already been reported, and this time someone came in a hurry to deliver information, so it was definitely not the case.

In the eyes of everyone, Gan Ning led the army upstream, leaving not many people to guard Huaipu and Huaiyin, and there were no generals, since Xuzhou had a move, it must be easy to capture the two cities without generals and heavy troops, after all, these two cities are theirs in the final analysis, and there is no popular support at all after they have just been occupied.

As for saying that the Han army was strong and forced the people to go to the city to defend, they really weren't worried, after all, hehe, Liu Bei pays attention to 'benevolence', how can he allow his subordinates to do things that damage their reputation, it's ridiculous!

Is that what benevolence says?

It is natural for them to shepherd one side to provide shelter for the people, and it is natural for the people to pay taxes and obey the arrangement.

Besides, the people are ignorant and ignorant, and what do they understand, in their opinion, the policies implemented by Liu Bei are simply disregard for the common ethics, damn, kill, and destroy!

"Return to the king, go down to Picheng...... It's broken! As he spoke, the messenger bowed his head in fear.

What the......?

There was silence in the hall, the silence was a little weird, the atmosphere became heavy, and everyone's hearts seemed to weigh a thousand pounds of burden.

The messenger's legs trembled a little, normally they only needed to deliver the letter, and they didn't need to answer at all, or the same sentence, what did they understand, and they couldn't even say it at the critical moment.

"It can't be!"

"The world's ridiculous!"

"Nonsense, how could Xiapi be broken!" The judge's eyes were red, and he stared at the messenger and shouted loudly, This is not possible at all, okay, didn't Gan Ning go up the river and enter Jiujiang County, but he said this to Cao Cao in person, and now you say that Picheng is broken.

"I, I, I ......" The messenger was yelled at, sat on the ground, and couldn't say a word, this is not how deep the judging skills are, but the status is here, even if the judging is a powerless person, a word can ask for his head.

Can...... I'm just a messenger!

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he didn't look at the reactions of the people below, and the little messenger didn't care about his heart, raised his hand to open the bamboo tube, and took out a letter from it to read it.

The more he looked, the more gloomy his expression became, and finally he slapped the letter on the table with a hard slap.

At this sound, everyone in shock looked at Cao Cao, Cao Cao didn't talk nonsense with a black face, and directly threw the letter to Xun Yu on the side, Xun Yu took it, ten lines at a glance, and when he saw what Chen Deng said before he killed himself, his eyes gradually turned red.

Looking up at the roof, his nose twitched twice, and he tried not to let the tears flow, but there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest.

Compared with the Chen Deng family, their Xun family is a big family that has been inherited for more than 500 years, the ancestor is Xunzi, one of the sages of the hundred schools of thought, the great sage of Confucianism, their descendants, from generation to generation, have been adhering to the glory of the ancestors, and they are also the most proud of their origins.

What's more, Huaxia has always paid attention to filial piety, worshipping ancestors, and future generations are proud of their ancestors, and at the same time, they are also adhering to the principle that they cannot lose the face of their ancestors, and they are proud to inherit the glory of their ancestors from generation to generation.

Xun Yu can be harmonious with people from low backgrounds, and he never looks down on other people because of his background, I don't know how much reputation Xun Yu has won based on this alone, but doesn't this just show that he values and maintains his background.

Otherwise, where can there be a pleasant face and look down on this saying.

And Wang Xuan's set of policies is to look down on them the most, the descendants of Xunzi, as long as they dare to be officers, they must be people with both ability and political integrity, and they still need to be assessed, which is the biggest distrust and the biggest humiliation for the descendants of Xunzi.

What is the difference between this and pointing at someone else's nose and scolding the tiger father and dog.

What's more, it is to compete with those who come from humble backgrounds.

This is equivalent to letting the son of the richest man compete with a group of ordinary people for a basic sales position, which is especially looking down on anyone!

If it's a small family, that's fine, but for a real top family, it's impossible!

This is not only a slap in the face, but also a slap in the face of their ancestors.

The phoenix does not live with the chicken, and the dragon does not live with the snake.

After all, with the status of these families, if he took the initiative to take refuge in Liu Bei, it would be impossible for Liu Bei to say not to accept it, and it would be impossible to liquidate it afterwards, which would not match his personality, just like Taizu had a red-top businessman after the founding of the country, whether it was Liu Bei or Wang Xuan, there was still a little bit of belly.

The problem is not Wang Xuan, but the unwillingness of those families to compromise, this is a fundamental contradiction, completely irreconcilable, this is the reason why those big families are unwilling to surrender to Liu Han, they would rather risk being exterminated, but also take refuge in Cao Cao, even if they really fail, they who have lost their past glory are no different from the exterminated clan.

Xun Yu put down the letter in his hand, this letter was passed back and forth in everyone's hands, and everyone's expressions were no different from Xun Yu's after reading it, or their eyes were full of tears, or they were angry, or they were in a mood, or they were boiling......

All kinds of reactions varied, but without exception, except for Cheng Yu, all of them were from very noble backgrounds, and what brought everyone together, in addition to Cao Cao's personal prestige and charm, Wang Xuan definitely contributed a lot.

At this moment, a breath of common hatred was connected between everyone.

Cao Cao:, shouldn't you be concerned about the problem of Xiapi? I'm lost!

Cheng Yu was also helpless, glanced at Cao Cao, his mood became inexplicably complicated, and an indescribable emotion rose in his heart, if he first met Liu Bei......

ε=(′ο'*)))) Alas

The matter has come to this point, and it is all tears to talk too much, firstly, the forces under Liu Bei's command have been formed, and even if he surrenders, there is no space and time for him to develop, and secondly, the betrayal of the master will inevitably make people poke their backbones at any time.
