Chapter 24: Let it go

At this moment, Cao Chao's mind is not on this issue of scriptures.

He summoned two ministers today.

One is an old acquaintance Pei Xiu, and the other is Shi Bao, who is imprisoned in the mansion.

Shi Bao originally came to Luoyang to ask for credit, but his luck was too bad, as soon as the front foot left, a rebellion broke out on the back foot, and the rebels were brought out by him.

Before Shi Bao came out of this shadow, he encountered the emperor's vigorous rectification of officials, and he, a former corrupt official, was even more liquidated.

Under the double blow, this person, not to mention being promoted, didn't even keep his original official title, and was directly beaten into white, enjoying the treatment of Sima Zhao, and being imprisoned in the mansion to reflect on his mistakes.

Summoned by the emperor today, Shi Bao's heart is extremely complicated.

He didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse this time.

Is the Emperor going to put himself to death or is he going to activate himself?

When he saw that the person who came with him was Pei Xiu, he breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Although he didn't know about the appointment and dismissal in the temple, Pei Xiu was unlikely to be an official of the Criminal Department, Pei Xiu had too much to do with many big clans, and he was not the kind of person who was very upright and strong, he was the type who could never do anything without doing anything, how could he hold an official position in the Criminal Department?

Since he appeared here with Pei Xiu, there shouldn't be any problem, right??

Pei Xiu was very helpless at the moment.

In these days, he has been summoned more times than Zhonghui!

Why does Your Majesty value himself so much?

Obviously, he never expressed his position from the beginning, and he became a confidant by the emperor's side in a daze, and now he is considered by the ministers to be a favorite minister comparable to Zhong Hui.

Why does your majesty think of yourself first when something happens now?

Cao Chao saw that both of them were coming, so he spoke:

"Yesterday, I saw a few bald businessmen who wanted to do business in Luoyang."

Pei Xiu frowned, sure enough, he still had something to do with these Hu people.

Could it be that they have collided with their own majesty?

Shibud is the same idea.

After all, there were a lot of Hu merchants in various places, but these Hu merchants were hiding when they met the nobles, how could they provoke the emperor?

At this time, Cao Chao opened his mouth and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Pei Xiu hesitated for a moment, "Are they rude to Your Majesty?" ”

"Yes, they actually dared to appear in Luoyang."

"Uh-huh???"

Pei Xiu was stunned for a moment, when did His Majesty become so fierce and domineering, is this also rude?

Cao Chao said in a low voice: "These Hu people, who have never been obedient, dare to appear in Luoyang, isn't this rude?" ”

Shi Bud still looked a little in a trance, but Pei Xiu suddenly realized.

He immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, when Hu Qiang followed the Shu people to make trouble, Shang Shutai discussed this matter, and General Deng wrote a letter, saying that the Han people in the border area were Hu and must be guarded against. ”

"At that time, Shang Shulang said: This is because the life of the Hu people is better than those of the people, so they are willing to defect to the Hu people, if they can't let the people live well, then let the Hu people live badly, so that no one will run away."

"At that time, Shang Shu's servant shot Lu Gong and was furious and almost drove him out."

Cao Chao couldn't help laughing, "Who is this Shang Shulang?" ”

"It's the bell servant shooting now."

"Oh, that's not surprising."

Cao Chao smiled and said, "But I don't think so. ”

"I just want to drive out these Hu people who don't return to the temple and don't carry out the indoctrination, they can do business, can't our own family?"

Pei Xiu thought of a lot of things just from this sentence.

Your Majesty, this is going to be divided.

Divide the Hu people in Yongliang, so that they can no longer unite, win over the pro-Wei, suppress these independent, and then replace the independent with the pro-Wei, so that they can fight among themselves?

Pei Xiu's mind had a lot of thoughts, and he looked at Cao Chao suddenly.

"Not what you think."

Cao Chao said.

Pei Xiu was stunned for a moment, "Kechen didn't say anything."

"You don't know it, it's definitely not a good idea."

"Do you think that I want to divide these people and let them fight among themselves, so that they can't pose a threat to Great Wei?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not, I don't want them to have no time to be distracted, I want to solve it completely, do the matter of education, know the difference between the enemy and me, and the foreign enemies who are unwilling to submit will definitely be destroyed, and those who are obedient to us are their own people, and we must use the method of education to make their lives better."

"As long as we distinguish between friend and foe, the problems in the future will naturally be much easier to solve."

Pei Xiu looked at Shi Bao at this time, and he seemed to understand why this guy appeared here.

Shi Bao is not stupid, when Cao Chao said this, he seemed to react, but he was not in a hurry to speak.

Sure enough, Cao Chao slowly looked at him.

"The temple wants to crusade against Shu, this Yongliang Qianghu has always made the local uneasy, if you want to go out on the expedition, you must first solve the internal troubles, otherwise, the army will go together, Yongliang is empty, a large amount of food is transported from here, I am afraid that there will be some small problems."

"But I don't want to see any minor problems."

"Shi Gong, when you were in Qingzhou, you made a lot of mistakes, and I dismissed you from your official position, which can be regarded as a punishment for you.

"Your Majesty, I would like to go!"

Shi Bud didn't hesitate at all, and immediately spoke.

Cao Chao glanced at him, "This thing is not easy to do, if it is not done well, it will cause a rebellion."

Shi Bao subconsciously wanted to answer that it wouldn't be like this, but he suddenly realized something, and immediately said: "The minister should do his best!" ”

There is no shortage of people around the emperor, but why let himself out?

Shi Bud realized that this was because it might be a controversial matter like He Zeng.

Cao Chao has always cared for his own people and will not let them be discredited, but anything that causes criticism in the world will be handed over to outsiders.

This trip to Yongliang is likely to cause war, and such a thing, in the eyes of the sages of the Central Plains, of course, is not benevolent, ungenerous, deliberately to provoke foreign enemies, which they do not want to see.

Once a general does such a thing, he will inevitably suffer great criticism.

Shi Bao also understood his mission.

But he didn't have any displeasure in his heart, at this moment, it would be good to be reactivated by the emperor, besides, he had already suffered a lot of criticism, if the Sima family trusted him enough, he would not be able to sit in his current position.

The evaluation of the ministers and scholars was nothing to him.

Seeing Shi Bud react so quickly, Cao Chao also laughed.

He immediately picked up a letter and set it aside.

"I will send this letter to Deng Ai, and he will send someone to help you do things together."

This expresses Cao Chao's attitude, he doesn't just want to use courtesy, he wants to use soldiers.

Deng Ai thought about it and was happy to help Shi Bao solve the problem.

Although Wei has begun to prepare for war, as Zhong Hui said, this is to create pressure on Shu and exacerbate its internal contradictions, at least this year, Wei will not do anything to Shu, unless Liu Chan really puts Zhuge Zhan in Hanzhong.

In today's development mode, the development of Wei is very fast, and there is no hurry at all, even if it is a fight, Wei will not be in a hurry, and it is best to consume Shu to death.

This is also the reason why Cao Chao dared to rectify Yongliang Qianghu first, anyway, he was not in a hurry to send troops, so he would first sort out the important places in Yongliang, so that the Shu people could no longer count on the people here to help them and clear the way for the next battle to destroy Shu.

This is also for the sake of stability in the future.

The bald department now has only tens of thousands of people, but ten years later, they combined with the local disaster victims, their strength skyrocketed, and they killed several generals of the Jin Dynasty in a row, and finally Ma Long and Wen Yang solved them.

While they are still weak, solve this hidden danger.

If the bald man is a smart person, he has to be like Liu Bao Hu Chuquan, completely surrender to the Great Wei and accept the education.

If you don't accept it, it's an outsider, and there's nothing polite.

"Pei Shangshu, this matter also needs your assistance, you are responsible for contacting Shi Zhonglang to handle this matter."

Pei Xiu frowned, "Your Majesty, will you be in a hurry?" Today, the state of Shu has not been wiped out. ”

"No, even if Yongliang doesn't have much rebellion, but these Hu people who don't want to submit to obedience are hegemonic in the wild, they rob the passing merchants, attack the people, Yongliang can't be governed, how can he rule the world?!"

"This is the backbone of the world, it is the main road in the future, the Later Han Dynasty was weak at the beginning, and this problem could not be solved, but my Great Wei has an army of nearly 100,000 in Yongliang, if I send the Chinese army to go again, it will be more than enough to destroy the Shu Kingdom, can't I still manage this problem?!"

Pei Xiu didn't say anything more, and immediately took the order.

Shi Bao even made a military order in front of him.

"Within a year, if the minister can't sweep away Yongliang and can't let his tribe return to the holy way, the minister is willing to come to see him!!"

Cao Chao helped him up, and a smile appeared on his face.

"General, in fact, this matter is easy to do, as long as they know that indoctrination is a good thing, and they can get benefits by accepting indoctrination, and if they don't want to accept it, they will starve, then it can be solved."

"Don't say that within a year, within ten years, if you can make Yongliang peaceful and everyone will return to the king, I will personally make you a county marquis, and let people erect a monument for you in Liangzhou!!"

"Never let down Your Majesty's high expectations!!"

When the two of them left here one after the other, Zhang Hua stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, do you want the Chinese army to go?"

"No need, this crusade against Shu is imminent, let Deng Ai train his troops, and let him bring out some meritorious generals."

Cao Chao said again: "Besides, this Huhua matter was originally mentioned by Deng Ai, since he saw it first, let him come forward to solve it." ”

"Maybe I can enter a martial arts temple in the future."

Hearing Cao Chao's words, Zhang Hua was thoughtful.
