Chapter 59: Think of a way
As it got dark, Cao Ren added himself a glass of wine.
He slowly walked to the spiritual seat of his younger brother Cao Chun, slowly sprinkled the wine in the cup on the ground, and lit a few sticks of incense for him.
"Zi and Yingling are not far away, this time we must ensure a big victory."
He bowed to the spiritual seat, staggered back, and looked at the military discipline engraved by himself on both sides of the table, and couldn't help but feel a trance in front of him.
To tell the truth, Cao Cao asked Cao Ren to manage the security of Jiangling, which was regarded as making the best use of his talents and materials.
Cao Ren was a ranger back then, with thousands of followers under him, and he never took law and discipline seriously.
He himself is very strong in martial arts, after joining the army, he began to learn the tactical art of war under the guidance of Cao Cao and tried to make himself abide by the law, and now let him re-manage the law and order in Jiangling, Cao Ren soon entered the state, what ruffian ranger in front of this god-like big brother has no idea of resistance, they have bowed down, and the law and order have improved a lot for a while.
But Cao Ren's mind is still difficult to calm down.
He was originally tyrannical, because of a little thing to be able to hold a grudge against Xu Chu, now his younger brother Cao Chun died tragically, his cousin Cao Hong was beaten on the street, he himself experienced a fiasco, lost his military power, although Cao Cao still trusts him, but this huge sense of powerlessness still makes it difficult for him to calm down, and he is tortured day and night.
"Military Law Cloud: Those who make good use of soldiers can kill half of the soldiers; The second is to kill the tithe, and the next to kill the eleventh. Those who can kill half of it, Weigahaine; Kill the three of them, and add the princes; Kill the eleventh of them, and make the soldiers ......"
Cao Ren silently recited the military law on the table - this is a little habit he has had since joining the army, and carving military law on the table to alert himself, and the process of engraving can also calm his mood a little. But now that the table has been engraved with military law words, Cao Ren still can't calm down from the huge regret of losing his brother.
Cai Mao......
The fierce light in his eyes was like fire, and he couldn't wait to kill all these hateful Jingzhou clans.
"General!" There was a soft call from outside the door, and Cao Ren snorted and called the man in.
Chang Diao quietly pushed the door, tiptoed over, and bowed in front of Cao Ren tremblingly: "General, I heard about a big event. โ
Cao Ren raised his eyebrows, and also lowered his voice:
"What?"
Chang Diao gritted his teeth and said: "General, Xiangyang sent us grain, but was blocked by the Wu army halfway, and only 3,000 stone was delivered." Chen Qun's generosity to others was all given to Ma Liang and Yunshan, who transported grain. Ma Liang and Yunshan, two Jingzhou dogs, sold all the grain to Cai Mao, and got a total of one million dollars. โ
Cao Ren was stunned and blurted out:
"So cheap?"
Chang Diao: ......
Cao Ren has seen a scene where 10,000 yuan of rice can't be bought, and at that time, even he had to chew human jerky, what is the use of money?
Chang Diao took the money to buy it before, and thought that he could buy some hoarders, but he didn't expect to let Cai Mao wrap up, of course he couldn't swallow this breath, and desperately encouraged Cao Ren to find Cai Mao's bad luck.
"General, it can't be like this."
He originally wanted to say that Cai Mao got so much food but was afraid that he would be more arrogant in the future, but looking at Cao Renyi's appearance of Xing Yanshan, the words on his lips were slightly modified:
"General, you think, although those grains are precious, they can be Cai Mao's identity, why should they be so premium?"
Cao Ren hesitated slightly, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes: "You might as well make what you say a little clearer." โ
Chang Diao gritted his teeth and said:
"The subordinates thought that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun had already colluded with Liu Bei to prepare for chaos! This Cai Mao was Zhuge Liang's uncle, and he was not on good terms with Liu Bei before, just for Liu Cong. Our army is strong, and they saw that it was difficult to stop, so they came up with this vicious method - Zhang Yun killed Zi He in front, and later wanted to kill the general!
Now that Zhang Yun has been recognized, Cai Mao took the initiative to make trouble again, first wounding General Zilian, and then spreading rumors in the city. He's buying grain on a spree now, maybe...... He knew the news in advance that there was going to be a problem with our army's grain and grass! โ
Cao Ren buzzed in his head, and he stood up suddenly, his eyes full of horror.
"Yes, hurry up and inform the prime minister, let the prime minister be careful!"
ยท
"Eat, it's time to hit the road!"
Fu Xun's mansion was littered with corpses, Guan Ping and Ma Liang gulped down the soup cakes (noodles) that were extremely rare in the south in the thick smell of blood, and from time to time cast a fierce and hideous gaze at Fu Xun, who was huddled in the corner and shivering.
Fu Xun became the prime minister to join the army because of his credit for persuading Liu Cong to surrender, although he was a guest of Liu Biao, he was a northerner, and he had a very good relationship with those warriors who were also from the north, and his status was also quite lofty. As Kuai Yue said, near his private house is Cao Jun's Northern Army camp, Cao Ren's elite soldiers patrol day and night, and he also has many nursing homes in his home, so it is very unrealistic to attack.
However, Guan Ping still has a way.
He had a warrant from Chen Qun, another prime minister who joined the army.
He brought Wang Mo and more than 50 others to the door with a swagger, handed over Chen Qun's warrant and the token given by Kuai Yue, saying that the prime minister was worried that an enemy would assassinate the original Jingzhou general, so he increased his protective force.
Fu Xun did not doubt him, and said that Cao Cao cared about him, and immediately invited everyone to come to the door.
Guan Ping didn't use Yunshan's identity this time, and Fu Xun was quite strange when he saw Ma Liang.
But Ma Liang was able to speak well, and he stabilized Fu Xun first, Guan Ping and Wang Mo patiently occupied all parts of the house, and after counting the original number of guards, they suddenly attacked, and those guards were defenseless and were slaughtered by Guan Ping and Wang Mo and others.
After the two of them finished killing, they quickly entered the main room, dragged Fu Xun and more than ten members of his family out, and threw them in the corner like cats and mice.
After doing all this, Wang Mo continued to lead people to carefully guard the surroundings, while Guan Ping and Ma Liang ate the dinner party that Fu Xun hadn't had time to enjoy tonight.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Ma Liang put the pottery bowl in front of Fu Xun and smiled very kindly, "Eat more, you have to go on the road anyway, why be a starving ghost." โ
When Fu Xun heard that the person who came was Guan Ping, he already knew his fate.
His happy life was just about to come, and he was hit by the killer, his heart was full of remorse, but he was helpless, he could only tremble:
"Ji Chang, you, I hugged you when you were a child, you have something to say, something to say."
Ma Liang still smiled:
"Yes, originally General Guan meant that the person who betrayed the master should be skinned, but it was I who persuaded him for a long time before General Guan agreed not to use this ruthless method. But you also know that General Guan is a believer, and he said that if you kill your whole family, you have to kill your whole family.
Please also ask Uncle Haihan. โ
Wang Mo, who was outside the door, poked his head in and whispered:
"What are you talking about this kind of traitorous thief, just kill their whole family!"
Fu Xun's family cried loudly when they heard this, and Ma Liang hurriedly waved his hand and asked Wang Mo to lead people to plug their mouths.
Fu Xun said in a trembling voice:
"I, how can I be a betrayer of the Lord, please two Mingjian!"
Guan Ping sneered, took out Kuai Yue's confession from his sleeve, and threw it on Fu Xun's face.
"See for yourself, what is this!"
Fu Xun picked up the confession tremblingly, and quickly shouted after just one glance:
"Wronged, wronged! It was Kuai Yue Cai Mao and others who forced me to say this, I am just a guest from the Northland, if I don't have the instruction of these people, how dare I say such things! General Mingjian, General Mingjian! โ
Guan Ping smiled:
"Okay, do you want to write a confession too, and I will give it to Uncle Cai and Uncle Kuai?"
Fu Xun was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say if he could speak well.
As he said, if there were no Jingzhou Hao clan who all advocated surrendering, what was the use of him speaking as a northern guest? But if he dared to say this, he would feed the fish to his whole family the next day. But Guan Ping has obviously reached a compromise with Cai Mao and Kuai Yue as an uncle, and they all threw the charges on himself, a northerner.
Tears rolled down his cheeks, and he pleaded incessantly:
"Liu Envoy Jun is benevolent and righteous, if future generations know that General Guan killed my whole family, it will damage Liu Envoy Jun's reputation. It's better to be a small pig and dog, General Guan spares his life! โ
Fu Xun's famous Guan Ping has been listening to it since he was a child, and he never imagined that in just one day, famous people like Fu Xun and Kuai Yue would actually wag their tails and beg for mercy at their feet.
In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, there has never been a shortage of people who sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and it is because of their generosity to die and prove the Tao by example that Confucian learning has become a small word of righteousness, and people who learn Confucianism can be admired by the people of the world only with a white robe.
But in just one night, the celebrities Kuai Yue and Fu Xun completely ignored the discipline and waged their tails in front of themselves and begged for mercy.
Hmph, fortunately, there is still a great Confucian like Zhang Gong in the world, and when he wins the battle, he must find a way to worship under Zhang Gongmen.
He pondered for a moment:
"You keep talking about my lord Liu Yuzhou, do you dare to go to him to talk about it?"
"Liu Yuzhou in Jiangling?"
"Of course not," Guan Ping sneered, "It's you who went to Xiakou with us." โ
"Huh?" Fu Xun was stunned, "This, how can this be done?" โ
"Hehe, you don't want to go with me, and you don't want to die, it's very difficult for such a little nephew."
"No, no, no! That was not what I meant! I have admired Liu Yuzhou for a long time, and before Jingsheng died, he still wanted Liu Yuanjun to take over Jingzhou, if it weren't for Cai Mao and others to obstruct me, I would also be under Liu Yuanjun.
Me, I'm just...... The general also saw that there was the Cao army camp at my doorstep.
My family, so many people in my family walk together......"
"Find a way!" Guan Ping said lazily, "You have a lot of wisdom, can't you think of a way for the golden cicada to get out of the shell?" โ
"I count to three, and if I can't think of it, I'll take your head to my lord...... Three! โ
"Wait!" Fu Xun hurriedly waved his hand, "I figured it out, this matter is as easy as a snap!" Easy as pie! โ
