Cao Cao sank his face. Angrily said: "Father will not revenge. What is the Son of Man."
Xun Yu arched his hands and said: "Return to the lord. This hatred is naturally to be reported. It does not need to be rushed. Yuan Shao in the north and Liu Xin in the south are the lord's confidants. Liu Xin's set of January will be here soon. But he asked for it. The culprit. I don’t know if the lord is ready. Regardless of Yuan Shao's Northern Expedition or the Eastern Expedition of Tao Qian, Liu Xin must be stabilized first."
Since Yuan Shao rejected the proposal of cooperation between the two sides. Cao Cao knew that a battle with Yuan Shao was inevitable. He also began to fight hard. Doing various preliminary preparations. But not because there are too many things to deal with. Cao Cao was temporarily negligent. I forgot to hand over the "culprit" to Liu Xin. It was Cao Cao who listened to Xun Yu's words. Knowing that Liu Xin had too much wear and tear in the battle with Dong Zhuo. Temporarily unable to launch a large-scale battle against him. Will deliberately procrastinate.
Cao Cao did this. In addition to trying to test Liu Xin's reaction. There is also a plan to preserve a bit of face for myself. otherwise. Liu Xin asked him for the "culprit." He couldn't wait to hand it over. Doesn't it mean to make the heroes of the world laugh.
Even without Xun Yu's reminder. Cao Cao also knew that this matter could not be dragged on any longer. Although Liu Xin suffered a relatively large loss in the battle against Dong Zhuo. It may be difficult to launch a big battle. but. If Liu Xin wanted to take advantage of Cao Cao's opportunity to attack Xuzhou. Come for a surprise attack. Still fully capable of this.
Moreover. The city defense of Puyang is absolutely impossible to compare with Xiangyang. If you don't leave enough troops. There was no way to stop Liu Xin's offensive. If there are too many troops left in Puyang. There is no guarantee that there will be sufficient strength to attack Xuzhou.
Although Cao Cao was desperate for his father's murder. But he was not impulsive. I quickly understood the priorities. He groaned: "Wen Ruo's words are reasonable. Let's do it. You immediately send five hundred sergeants to surround Wang Yun's mansion. Drive into the prison car. Day and night. Take it to Xiangyang."
Say this. It shows that Cao Cao has decided. The person who served as the "culprit" was Wang Yun.
Xun Yu is a gentleman. He values credibility more than life. When I came back from Xiangyang. He also wanted to facilitate the reconciliation and even alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. To fight against Liu Xin. but. When all this is in vain. Xun Yu had to seriously consider his promise to Liu Xin. For Xun Yu. It doesn't matter who is the "culprit". The important thing is to put this "culprit" in Liu Xin's hands on time.
Hearing Cao Cao's orders. Xun Yu was very relieved. He folded his hands and said: "The lord is wise. With Wang Yun. Liu Xin should be fine. It's just that if you want to use troops against Xuzhou, Yuan Shao can't help but guard."
Chen Qun, who was standing next to him, suddenly smiled and said: "Wen Ruo don't need to worry. Yuan Shao is more scheming and less decisive. After he learns that the lord has sent troops to Xuzhou, he will definitely gather civil and military discussions. The lord can send someone a generous gift to Xu. You. Xu You is greedy and insatiable. If he gets the property, he will definitely help the lord to speak. We persuade Yuan Shao not to send troops."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Cao and Xu You have always been friendly. This plan is feasible. Long text. You are responsible for this matter. Now arrange for someone to go to Yecheng secretly."
Chen Qun hesitated and said: "As long as you are willing to make money. It is not difficult to make friends with Xu You. However, it is now in winter. In case of heavy snowfall, the road is difficult. It is very inconvenient for the use of soldiers."
Xun Yu arched his hands and said: "Even though the long-term plan can make Yuan Shaosheng suspicious and not send troops for the time being. But it can't be concealed for a while, but Yuan Shao will eventually detect it. The Lord wants to use troops against Xuzhou. The price is super fast. If it's heaven. It’s snowing. The Lord’s justice can be used as a cover. Raiders win."
Since Wang Yun came to Puyang. Although still doing his Situ. Ranked one of the three public. But there is no real power. And he was monitored by Cao Cao everywhere. Even the guards in his mansion were sent by Cao Cao. It is already under house arrest.
Losing power is no big deal for Wang Yun. When Dong Zhuo was in power. He has no power. And he's always worried. I don't know when that demon king will hurt the killer. As for freedom. He was also closely monitored by Dong Zhuo in the past. Just change to Cao Cao now. Wang Yun has long been used to it. Didn't take it seriously.
The only thing that made Wang Yun uncomfortable was that. In the past, there were many talented and well-groomed kabuki dancers in his mansion. You can entertain yourself when you are bored. right now. These kabuki dancers are all separated. It is estimated that Liu Xin has been taken prisoner. And Wang Yun didn't have much money left beside him. The payment of salary is not timely. He is no longer able to raise a beautiful maidservant. Even the two maids were brought in by Cao Cao. Maybe it was also sent to monitor him.
however. What Wang Yun didn't know was. Even this life. Cao Cao didn't intend to let him go on. Wang Yun was sitting in the courtyard. When I was bored looking up at the sky in a daze. A team of wolves like tigers broke in.
Think about when I was in Luoyang. Cao Cao was qualified to sit in front of him. But now his soldiers broke into his home. Don't even say hello. Wang Yun felt that he had been bullied by Cao Cao and had nowhere to go. Unconsciously stood up. Angrily said: "Wang is a dignified Han Situ. How dare you break into Wang's house without permission. You still don't get out of me all."
The leader of the guard is called Wang Tu. When Cao Cao served as the northern lieutenant of Luoyang. He is Cao Cao's subordinate. Later, after Cao Cao was promoted. He was also recommended to be a northern lieutenant in Luoyang. After being tossed and turned several times. Wang Tu rushed to Cao Cao again. Because he is his old department. The man is handsome again. Cao Cao appointed him as his personal captain. In fact, it is about ability and martial arts. This Wang Tu is very limited.
Most villains have hobbies that are ambitious and rampant. This Wang Tu is no exception. He has the trust and grace of Cao Cao. Even if Cao Cao did not order Wang Yun to be arrested. He would not put this imperial court sanguin without real power in his eyes. Now he has the order of Cao Cao. Wang Tu is even more confident.
Hearing Wang Yun was angry with himself. Wang Tu was slapped in the face. Wang Yun is just a literati. It's over fifty years old again. Although Wang Tu's strength is not much. This slap slapped it down. It also made Wang Yun stare at Venus. Half of his face was already swollen. Wang Yungang wanted to curse. But one mouth. But "wow" spit out a mouthful of blood. There were two broken teeth in the blood foam.
But Wang Tu did not stop. Take a step forward. The bend of Wang Yun's leg is a kick. Sternly shouted: "You old immortal thing. Kneel down to Lao Tzu."
Wang Yun couldn't help it. The leg was soft. Kneeling on one knee long ago.
Wang Tu sneered. A thick sputum of "spit" was spit on Wang Yun's face. Waving a big hand. He shouted: "Come here. Take Wang Yunyu off his clothes. Drive into the prison wagon."
Even when Dong Zhuo got power. Wang Yun has never been insulted like this before. He couldn't help but be furious. Fainted on the spot.
I don't know how much time has passed. Wang Yun was awakened by a panic of pain. He opened his eyes blankly. But found that he was being yelled at a prison car. The sharp pain just now was caused by the vehicle passing a bumpy dirt road. It was caused by his arm hitting the wooden fence of the cage.
Older people are short of breath. Wang Yun didn't feel a little impatient. Want to shout "Stop for a while". But it can only make a "oooo" sound. Only then did I know that his mouth had been blocked by a dirty and smelly rag.
Wang Yun looked around. It turned out that he was no longer in Puyang City. It is marching in the fields. Don't know where they are going to get themselves. This prison wagon was tied up with a war horse. The number of soldiers escorting him is about five hundred. And they are all cavalry. The cavalry raised their whips from time to time. Drive the war horse to a fast gallop. The prison car naturally couldn't slow down. Bumps all the way. Wang Yun felt that the bones all over his body were about to fall apart.
What made Wang Yun unbearable the most was. His urination is getting stronger and stronger. And his mouth was so stuffed. Can't speak at all. in fact. Even if he can yell out. These soldiers will not stop at the slightest for his convenience. An old face of Wang Yun flushed. The five fingerprints on the left cheek are particularly clear. at last. Wang Yun couldn't hold it anymore. Close your eyes. Let the warm ** drenched and drenched on the prison car.
In the city of Xiangyang. The two grand weddings hosted by Liu Xin personally have ended. Civil officials and generals who came to attend the wedding banquet from all over the world. Some have returned to their camps one after another. Some are still waiting for Liu Xin's interview. at this time. Liu Xin was sitting in the study. Listening to Jushou and Yufan report the situation of the three counties in Jiangnan.
At that time, the entire Han Dynasty. Regardless of economy or culture. The centers are all in the north. The three Jiangnan counties are relatively backward. People's lives are also more difficult. Especially in recent years. Wang Lang, Yan Baihu and others levied various exorbitant taxes. Plunder the people and anoint the people. As a result, many people have no way to survive. Can only choose to fall the grass as a bandit. Although the strength of these thieves varies greatly. But it has been a headache for the local government. Liu Xin knows. Do not wipe out these thieves cleanly. There is no way to restore production in the three Jiangnan counties. It is also difficult for the people to feel at ease.
After Yu turned to Jiangnan. Many measures have been taken. These include vigorously helping the victims, distributing high-quality rice seeds, building water conservancy projects, pardoning bandits who are willing to lay down their weapons, and opening government-run medical clinics in various counties. The most important one is to follow the model of Jingzhou and other places. Fully implement strict household registration.
After so many measures are implemented. It has indeed received very good results. The people gradually calmed down. There are also fewer thieves than in the past. But it is not an overnight effort to restore Jiangnan's calm completely. The sowing season has passed. The planting effect of these rice seeds will not be visible until the autumn harvest next year. And some thieves are used to the days of licking blood with a knife head. I would rather continue the parasitic life like that for nothing. Not willing to surrender to the government. therefore. The Dahan naval forces stationed in the Jiangnan area hardly had a good rest. From time to time to deal with thieves everywhere.
These news. Originally, only one person needed to report. But Liu Xin still called Jushou over. In addition to showing that he attaches great importance to the three counties of Jiangnan. There is another purpose in it.
