Chapter 37: Divergence
In the following days, Lu Bu did not bring his wife and children back, he wanted to change the place of governance to Xiapi, the place of Tan County, Lu Bu felt that he was in conflict with himself, and in terms of terrain and transportation, Xiapi was also more suitable as a state office.
The most important thing is the attitude of the county magistrates, the follow-up impact of Lu Bu's bloody slaughter of the Chen family is gradually revealed, many local county magistrates directly dismissed officials, and the local gentry also began to secretly raise prices, making the local people miserable.
"Cao Xing, you go to Cheng County and slaughter these three families, remember, you don't want to leave any of them." Lu Bu handed over a file to Cao Xing and said calmly.
"Wen Hou, no, this will only make the conflict between you and the local gentry worse!" Chen Gong's face changed, he didn't expect to be recruited just now, and the first thing he did was to do such an angry thing.
"It's nothing to do, since they don't want to make me feel better, and I happen to be short of food now, then it will make them feel bad too." Lu Bu looked at Cao Xing and said: "Kill, kill until they are afraid, I don't need them to show loyalty to me, I just need them to be afraid, and pass my orders to the land of the two counties, I feel that I Lu Bu is not benevolent, you can get out, but once you leave, their family's land will also belong to me, and also, people can go, but the checkpoints everywhere have given me attention, not a single grain can be taken away, now Xuzhou, I have the final say." ”
"Of course, they can also resist." Lu Bu put down the bamboo note in his hand and said indifferently.
"This is domineering, and it won't go far!" Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and said, "Does Wen Hou want to be the enemy of the world?" ”
"It is not for nothing that I killed them, for they raised the price of food, and their crimes should be punished." Lu Bu knocked on the table.
"I have never had such a criminal law in the Han Dynasty." Chen Gong sighed.
"Then add it." Lu Bu threw the bamboo note on the table and said: "These are all handed over from all over the country recently, and they gathered to drive away the soldiers under my command, I don't know who gave them the courage." ”
"You can negotiate with them, Chen Qi is a famous man in the world, you kill him, this Xuzhou scholar clan is all looking forward to the Chen family's horse head, how can it not be reversed? Think about Cao Cao's killing of Bian Rang! Chen Gong gritted his teeth and said: "You are killing to stop the chaos like this, is it possible that you have to slaughter all the people in Xuzhou?" ”
"They are not because of the Chen family, but because I didn't give them the land I got from the Chen family, so they turned against them!" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong leisurely and said: "Gongtai, although it has not been a few years before and after, but the situation is different, and this person's heart will also change." ”
"Since you can see it thoroughly, why do you have to make a big move?" Chen Gong was stunned when he heard this, and then glared at Lu Budao angrily.
"I just want to tell them ......" Lu Bu stood up and waved his hand at Cao Xing, Cao Xuan hugged his fists and bowed away, Lu Bu turned his head to look at Chen Gong, and said word by word: "I can give my things, but they can't force them, without my permission to reach out, I will chop off their claws, this is called killing a hundred examples!" If these people don't kill, Xuzhou will be even more chaotic. ”
"And how long are you going to kill before you stop?" Chen Gong trembled his mouth and glared at Lu Budao.
"Kill until they're honest." Lu Bu said indifferently.
"Jackal heart, lack and conspiracy!" Chen Gong's face turned red, flicked his sleeves, and left angrily.
Lu Bu looked at the direction in which Chen Gong left, a little distracted, Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao at the beginning, although there was a reason for Bian Rang, but more, I am afraid that the concept is not in agreement.
Lu Bu was reborn as a human being, and in the period after his death, he had seen and heard for 20 years, and he had seen a lot, so he naturally understood some truths, and the concept of Chen Gong was that the monarch and scholars ruled the world together, which is also the concept of many scholars today.
But if this concept is really followed, the rights of these monarchs will be infinitely weakened, and Lu Bu can still suppress it when he is there, but what if Lu Bu is gone one day?
Why does Jiangdong have a solid foundation in the hands of Sun Quan, it is because Sun Ce has helped Sun Quan comb the Jiangdong Shi clan with a knife before his death, and what Lu Bu wants to do is actually like the princes today, including Yuan Shao, are doing it, Chen Gong can't accept it, so he can't accept it.
The biggest difference between today's Lu Bu and the previous Lu Bu is not the more than 20 years of life experience after being reborn, but compared to before the rebirth, the current Lu Bu has his own goals, he is not the Lu Bu who lost his ambition when he has a piece of territory, because he knows very well that once he stops, I am afraid that it will also be the day when he is not far from defeat, even if it is for his family, for his wife and children, he has to hold up a piece of the sky for them!
Cao Xing became a butcher's knife for Lu Bu, the heads of the three gentry of Cheng County, were hung on the city gate of Cheng County the next day, no one was willing to serve Lu Bu It doesn't matter, Lu Bu can wait, Qin Li has already helped him write to some friends who are also from the Han family to come to serve, according to Qin Li, these friends of his are not Zheng Xuanmen, almost all of them are children of the Legalist family.
However, now the world is difficult, after the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, Legalist disciples will more or less study some scriptures as their own stepping stones, but few are used, because the Legalist school is the easiest school to produce cool officials, even if there are those who enter the office, they often cannot be reused.
However, for Lu Bu, with his current reputation, he is not qualified to find fault, just like these people are not qualified to find fault with the so-called Ming Lord, unless there are really talents who have passed through the heavens and latitudes, and Bole must be able to discover their talents.
For example, Qin Li, this is a name that Lu Bu has never heard even if he knows what happened in the next twenty years, but his ability is not under Chen Gong, these days to help him run Xiapi, has gradually stabilized the entire territory of Xiapi.
Before these people arrived, Lu Bu can only select some clever generals from the army to temporarily serve as county commanders, although they may not be able to do it, but it is better than nothing, in order to avoid being maliciously targeted, Lu Bu specially sent troops to escort each person when he took office, and suppressed the possible means of the family at any time.
Among them, it is inevitable that there will be malicious persecution, but what Lu Bu wants now is stability, and the others can only be reassigned after the arrival of the people introduced by Qin Li.
In five days, Cao Xing slaughtered the gentry of the three counties, and he completely suppressed the scholars who were about to move in Xuzhou.
"You're not gone yet?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong with an indifferent expression with some surprise, he thought that Chen Gong would leave, just like when he left Cao Cao.
"Gong wants to verify the matter and see the ending of Wen Hou." Chen Gong glanced at Lu Bu expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "Or Wen Hou can also behead Chen Gong immediately." ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he just sneered and ignored him.
