Chapter 39: Knives Only

"That's the way it is."

Cao Chao was still sitting in the Tai Chi Hall, but the person sitting next to him was a different person.

Sitting beside him at the moment was Zhong Hui.

Hearing that the king of Jibei was coming, Zhong Hui happily came to visit.

After all, this is the son of King Chen Si, that King Chen Si, who doesn't know, that is a famous man who has become a poem in seven steps and gathers the talents of the world, his son must be extraordinary!

Zhong Hui came with great interest, but after taking a look at Cao Zhi, he took his leave and prepared to leave.

It was Cao Chao who hurriedly grabbed him.

In fact, Cao Zhi is not ugly, he has a good appearance, a tall figure, and he is a very good man.

However, probably because he was too afraid of Cao Chao, he looked a little timid, and forced a smile on his face, making him look a little villain, and Zhong would expect too much from him.

When you find out that he is not as good as you expected, the disappointment will naturally be great.

Cao Chao told Cao Zhi a lot, and then asked him to take him to see the Queen Mother, and he left Zhong Hui and Guo Zhi.

He asked Guo Zhi to tell Zhong Hui about the matter again, in fact, he also wanted to compare whether there was a problem with Fang Cai Cao's words.

There is not much difference between what Guo Zhi said and Cao Yan, compared to Cao Yan, Cao Chao still believes in Guo Zhi more, if he says so, then there is basically no problem.

Cao Chao looked at Zhong Hui at this moment and said seriously: "That's the way it is. ”

"Gong Shahong, what does Shi Ji think?"

Zhong Hui raised his head disdainfully, "This person is just a broken knife, and it will be discarded after it is useless, what is there to pay attention to?" ”

Cao Chao's eyes lit up.

The reason why the problem of the big clan is difficult to solve is because the people who do the special work are the big clan!

On this question, if you ask Zhong Yu, the answer you get will definitely be different.

Zhong Yu would tell Cao Chao that a traitor like Gong Shahong must be executed.

Because this annexation of land is a common act of many great clans, it is obviously impossible for you to expect them to deal with themselves.

Therefore, there are very few people who can use it.

A martial artist like Hu Zun, a person who made a fortune with military skills, a poor family like Zhang Hua, a person who has suffered since childhood, a gentleman like Guo Zhi, a person who will implement Cao Chao's orders, and a person like Zhong Hui, as long as he can establish meritorious deeds, he doesn't care about the interests of the family.

He doesn't even have a family of his own, do you expect such a person to have a clan mentality?

He is a person who is selfish to the extreme, and even his family is a drag and a burden in his eyes.

But I have to say, when such a person is on your side, it's really cool!

Cao Chao looked at him, "Then who is the one who handles the knife?" ”

"Naturally, it's someone like Liu Jiao."

Zhong Hui sneered and said: "Your Majesty, people like Gong Shahong are supported by them, and they are used to do such things, killing one Gong Shahong, there will be a second and third Gong Shahong, not to govern fundamentally." ”

Cao Chao groaned, "I see. ”

Guo Zhi was very angry at the moment, he said: "That is the case, then Liu Jiao and others should be arrested!" ”

Zhong Hui glanced at him, "What crime?" These big clans are not local tyrants, and they use the method of forcible seizure to catch them, and if they want to catch them, a county order is enough, but how can the big clans do things, how can they leave any evidence of crime? ”

Guo Zhi asked rhetorically: "Then you have to let them go like this?" ”

Zhong Hui looked at Cao Chao at this time, "What does Your Majesty think?" ”

"Isn't that what the history of assassination is for?"

Cao Chao opened his mouth and said: "I am ready to let the assassins in various places strictly investigate the situation of the public land and punish the crime of encroaching on the public land!" ”

Zhong Hui laughed, "Your Majesty's idea is just to knock out more knives, but you can't help the people behind the scenes." ”

"What does Shi Ji think should be done to deal with the people behind the scenes?"

Speaking of this, Zhong Huike was not sleepy at all, he smiled and rubbed his hands, enough to see the excitement in his heart.

His expression at the moment was like telling Cao Chao, you should have come and ask me about this earlier.

The root of this matter is actually the issue of the annexation of the big clans.

Historically, ministers such as Zhang Hua and other ministers, in order to solve this problem, have broken their heads, and various policies have not been implemented.

Cao Chao wanted to know what kind of solution he would come up with if Zhong Hui was asked to solve this problem.

Zhong Hui pursed his lips and asked, "Your Majesty, when Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, the nobles of the various countries were entrenched in the places and had huge power, but at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, these nobles lost the ability to fight against the temple, why is this?" ”

It's because of Liu Jing.

Cao Chao wanted to answer like this, but he still pretended to be ignorant, "I have heard about it, it seems that it is because of the policy of Lingyi, I don't know the specifics. ”

Zhong Hui smiled and said, "That's right, it is because these great clans have been relocated that they were forced to leave their homeland and go to Guannai to take care of the imperial tomb, which the emperor called a gift to them. ”

Guo Zhi suddenly realized, "We also let them guard the imperial tomb?" ”

Zhong would shake his head, "No. ”

"At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an and other places were very barren and lacked population, so the Hao people moved here, and even changed their surnames."

"But not at the moment."

Zhong Hui looked at Cao Chao suddenly, "Your Majesty, after the destruction of Shu and Wu, Your Majesty should reward the world!" ”

"Oh?"

"How to reward?!"

"Reward the land!!"

"Shu and Wu have a large area of land, if it weren't for these heroes of the temple, Your Majesty would not be able to complete the feat of unification, so to complete the unification, you must reward these people!"

"Take back the lands of these two countries, and give them to these great clans!"

"Let them go south!"

Dressed in the South???

Cao Chao's eyes widened and he looked at Zhong Hui in astonishment.

Zhong Hui continued: "There is a lot of land in the south, but there is very little land that can be used for farming, don't the big clans like to annex? Let them go to the south to merge, if they want tenants, let them develop themselves! ”

"It only takes a hundred years for the southern country to be revitalized!"

Cao Chao had thought about migrating Haoqiang in the past, forcibly relocating the Haoqiang in China and the Haoqiang in Shu Wu, but he really didn't think of rewarding the land to the big clan!

This is the same as the gift of the early Han Dynasty.

I see that you have merit, and I have rewarded you with a great land in the south, what? Not going? Is it because you don't want to receive my gifts? Do you want to disobey the edict??

If you can complete the great unification, with the fame at that time, it will really be very feasible.

Not to mention, isn't the south developed by these big clans?

They like to occupy land and like to merge, so it is a good idea to let them go to the south to do it

Cao Chao hadn't spoken yet, but Guo Zhi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Zhong Gong is right, you can let them go to the southern country!" ”

Zhong Hui didn't notice it in the past, but at this moment, he suddenly found that this Guo Zhi also had some celebrity demeanor.

Cao Chao had no choice but to let Guo Zhi go to Zhaoyang Hall first, ready to discuss some other things with Zhong Hui.

"Deng Ai's matter, Shi Ji probably knows?"

Zhong Hui was not surprised at all, "I have already learned that at the beginning, I have persuaded Your Majesty, Deng Ai, a person who can be a general, but not a commander, can let him do things, but cannot let him make decisions." ”

"This person is greedy for merit and eager for quick success"

Chung would talk about a whole bunch of shortcomings, though they seemed appropriate to describe himself.

Cao Chao was very quiet and did not interrupt the bell meeting.

"Your Majesty, you might as well let me go, I will definitely be able to watch Deng Ai!"

Zhong Hui said suddenly.

Cao Chao glanced at him, "Shi Ji don't worry, now is not the time." ”

Zhong Hui was a little impatient, "Your Majesty, now is the right time, Deng Ai clearly wants to destroy the Shu Kingdom this time." ”

"Huh??"

Zhong Hui grabbed the teacup in front of himself and Cao Chao, put it on the table, and then placed it in two corners.

"Your Majesty, look, this is Yuzhong, Gansong is Hancheng, Lecheng"

"Now, Jiang Wei wants to send troops to join forces with the Qianghu in Liangzhou, that is, here in Longxi, and wants to enrich himself through their strength, if he can win, he will occupy Liangzhou, if he can't win, he will take these Hu people back, Shu is short of manpower"

Zhong Hui dipped his hand in the tea and drew two lines sharply.

"Your Majesty, look"

"This is where Deng Ai's army is."

"I dare to conclude that if Jiang Wei dares to send troops to Liangzhou, Sima Wangbu will not be able to hold out, Pang Huibu will attack Yuzhong and Gansong, and Deng Ai will attack Wujie and Qiaotou"

The two horizontal lines of Zhonghui directly divided the battlefield.

Cao Chao's eyes widened, how could these two lines look so familiar?

Zhong Hui said proudly: "After the Chinese army arrives here, what does Your Majesty think you should do?" ”

Cao Chao subconsciously looked at Seoul Lecheng.

Zhong Hui laughed, and he directly picked up the teacup that represented these two cities, "The Chinese army can directly attack here." ”

"When Jiang Wei finds out that something is wrong, it is probably too late for him to return to defense, if Deng Ai can succeed, then the Hanzhong defense line will collapse, isn't this the best time to destroy the Shu Kingdom?"

When the bell was finished, Cao Chao woke up suddenly.

Isn't this the strategy used by Zhong Hui to destroy Shu in history? Three-pronged?

The difference is that Jiang Wei in history went to Huangzhong because he was squeezed out by Huang Hao, but now Jiang Wei led the army here in order to send troops to Liangzhou.

Cao Chao suddenly woke up.

Deng Ai is deliberately seducing Jiang Wei, just to take the opportunity to seize Hanzhong and destroy the opponent's Hanzhong defense line!!

Cao Chao's original idea was just to hit Jiang Wei hard again, but he didn't expect Deng Ai's appetite to be so big.

Zhong Hui looked a little anxious, "Your Majesty, this matter can't be delayed, please let the minister go here!" The minister is willing to hold Deng Ai hostage and ask him not to do anything unfavorable to His Majesty! ”

Cao Chao suddenly looked at him.

"Okay, let's get ready."

"Come with me."

"I want to go to Chang'an and personally conquer the Shu thieves!"
