Mi Zhu quickly ordered: "Quickly, hurry to the prefectural animal husbandry."
Horses are not allowed in the city of Xiangyang, and the cavalry team can’t get up soon. Mi Zhu quickly rushed up and followed them closely. From a distance, he could see the man in the prison car with his head bowed, following the bumps of the prison car. Shaking from side to side, I don’t know whether it’s dead or alive,
In a short while, the team that escorted the prisoner vehicle arrived in Dongcheng District. There were tight guards here. It was impossible for so many soldiers to enter, so the team also stopped. After the handover of the two sides, most of the people were Staying outside, only one leader-like person was allowed to walk in with the prison car, and even the driver of the car was replaced by a flying tiger guard.
Mi Zhu’s carriage was not obstructed, and he went straight into Dongcheng District, because his house was originally here, but Mi’s family brought too many people, so Mi Zhu opened several shops in Xiangyang City. These days He was fidgeting, so he went to a shop in the city. Today’s lunch was also eaten in the shop. As soon as he hurried back, he ran into the team escorting the prisoner car.
Sure enough, Mi Zhu had expected that this prison car was escorted to the prefectural animal husbandry mansion. Just as the front foot of the prison car stopped in front of the prefectural animal husbandry mansion, Mi Zhu arrived with his hind legs.
At this time, Liu Xin had also received the news and walked out of the mansion with Jushou and Dianwei. As soon as he left the mansion gate, Liu Xin smelled a stench, which came from the prison car, and he couldn't help but wrinkle. Frowning, he asked in a deep voice, "Who is in the car?"
The leading officer was Cao Cao's personal captain Wang Tu. Hearing Liu Xin's question, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and bowed, and said with a flattering smile: "If you go back to your lord, the car is exactly the one you want. 'The culprit,' Situ Wang Yun,"
In fact, Liu Xin had long known that the real culprit should be Cao Cao himself. Otherwise, relying on the ministers in the court who supported Liu Xie, he would never have thought of attacking Xiangyang. Since the culprit was Cao Cao himself, he certainly did not. The reason for surrendering himself, so Liu Xin has been wondering, if Cao Cao really surrendered such a scapegoat, who would this scapegoat be
Liu Xin thought about many people, but did not expect that Cao Cao would hand over Wang Yun. It was not that Liu Xin thought that Wang Yun was not qualified to be the scapegoat. On the contrary, Liu Xin believed that Wang Yun was the most qualified to be the scapegoat. I know that Wang Yun and Cao Cao are both a teacher and a friend. The two people once discussed together to deal with Dong Zhuo. After Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he did not expose Wang Yun. Moreover, Wang Yun was the only one to follow. The people around Liu Xie had a great influence in Shilin. How could Cao Cao hand him over
However, Cao Cao really gave Wang Yun as a scapegoat. Not only that, but from the unkempt and stinky appearance of the man in the prison car, Wang Yun has not suffered less torture. It can be seen that Cao Cao is really cruel and does not read a word. Old love, in fact, how did Liu Xin know that the torment of Wang Yun did not come from Cao Cao’s instigation, it was just the villain Wang Tu who fell into trouble.
Liu Xin doesn’t have much favor with Wang Yun. After all, he once sent someone to Xiangyang to assassinate himself, and he also issued a secret order to Diaochan, which made him dare not get too close to Diaochan. Since such a person has fallen into his own hands, Liu Xin will certainly not let him go easily, but he is not anxious about how to deal with it.
Liu Xin waved his hand and said to the guards outside the palace: "Come here, take Wang Yun down, give him a good bath, detain him first, and try again later."
Wang Tu has been a prisoner and a quick arrester. He never treats these prisoners as human beings. He even uses these prisoners as tools to vent his desires. It is precisely because of his perverted psychology that he will be right along the way. Wang Yun abused it in every possible way. It was a joy to hear that Liu Xin actually let people bathe Wang Yun, Wang Tu's face showed disapproval.
Liu Xin had been paying attention to this man, seeing that he was born tall and handsome, with extraordinary appearance, but his expression was a bit wretched, and he couldn't help asking: "Who are you?"
Wang Tu hurriedly said: “The villain is Prime Minister Cao’s personal soldier Wang Tu. He was ordered by the prime minister to escort Wang Yun. Now Wang Yun has been handed over to the adult. I don’t know what tokens the adult has for the villain to bring back. To return to the Prime Minister,"
Liu Xin was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that for such an important matter, Cao Cao had only sent a personal captain to escort him.
However, Liu Xin quickly figured it out. Cao Cao did this just to show that he didn't put himself in his eyes at all. This is the same reason that he dragged him to the last day before surrendering the "culprit." I just want to preserve some face as much as possible.
It’s the same with Liu Xin. He doesn’t care who Cao Cao regards as the "culprit." What is important is that Cao Cao is willing to hand over such a "culprit." Xiangyang was attacked by Cao Cao. Although he did not succeed, if Liu If Xin did not take any retaliatory measures, he would not only be ridiculed by the princes, but also likely to affect the morale of the soldiers and civilians. Now that Cao Cao surrendered the "culprit", Liu Xin can be regarded as Cao Cao's confession of the attack on Xiangyang. ,
As for whether Cao Cao sincerely admitted his mistake, Liu Xin couldn’t care about it. He only had to give an explanation to the people of Xiangyang and the princes of the world. What Liu Xin needs most now is to recuperate, not to fight. He figured this out. At one point, Liu Xin didn’t have to worry about who Cao Cao sent, so he nodded and said, “School Lieutenant Wang has worked hard all the way. You can go to the post house to rest for a few days and enjoy the scenery of Xiangyang. I will fix a reply letter for you to bring to Meng De. However, the weapons of your group must be handed over and will be returned to you when you leave. You understand."
In fact, not to mention the messengers of the princes from all over the world. Even the merchants traveling from the north to the south often carry swords. Firstly, they can defend themselves. Secondly, the saber is also a symbol of status. It is just that there are hundreds of people in Wangtu. If they were allowed to wander around the city with knives and guns, there might be some trouble, so Liu Xin emphasized that they should hand over their weapons.
Wang Tucai didn’t care if Liu Xin allowed him to carry weapons. He wasn’t a warrior. He was good at eating, drinking, and having fun. He had heard that Xiangyang City was very prosperous, so I hated it for a few days. Liu Xin’s words were right for him. Under his arms, he quickly bowed his hands and thanked him. A guard came and took him down.
Mi Zhu stayed beside him, and waited until Wang Tu stepped back. Then he stepped forward and said, "Cao Min Mi Zhu pays homage to the lord,"
Liu Xin had noticed him a long time ago, and could not help but smiled and said, "How come Mr. Zizhong is so polite today? It's not because of the'culprit', right?"
Mi Zhu was said to have broken his mind by Liu Xin, his old face blushed, and he said, "Don't dare to lie to your lord. Mi came for this matter. How sure is the lord that Cao Cao sent the'culprit'? Isn't the lord afraid? Cao Cao just got someone to fool around."
Jushou knew Liu Xin's thoughts, and he was in charge of the Phantom. Naturally, he also knew that Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Yan Baihu attacked Jingzhou together. He took the first step and said: "Mr. Zizhong is worried, this person is San Gong One of them, Situ Wang Yun, hijacked the pseudo-emperor Liu Xie and left Luoyang, and secretly colluded with Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Yan Baihu. They all did this. There is absolutely nothing false about it. My Patriarch wanted to ask for this person."
When Mi Zhu heard these words, he noticed that the sky was spinning, and his face turned pale when he "brushed". He thought that if he persisted for a long time, this matter would pass, but he didn't expect that what should come will eventually come.
Liu Xin knew that Mi Zhu was concerned about the people of Xuzhou. Seeing him looked miserable and unbearable, he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Liu can understand his feelings. Liu will definitely order a letter to Cao Cao, asking him to do whatever he wants. Anyway, you can’t kill innocent people indiscriminately. If your husband is still worried, Liu wants to appoint him to appease him and set up refugee camps in Jiangxia, Wu County and other places to accommodate the people of Xuzhou who have left their homes because of the war. I wonder if your husband is willing to take on this important task,"
To appease this official position, Mi Zhu has never heard of it, and the refugee camp is unheard of before, but he understands the general responsibilities. Mi Zhu is not the kind of wealthy and unkind person. When he was in Xuzhou, he would open it every disaster year. In the congee shed, what Liu Xin said about the refugee camp, in his understanding, is probably the same as helping the victims, but it was officially opened.
Mi Zhu doesn't care about the level of official position. Therefore, he readily accepted Liu Xin's appointment and quickly said, "The subordinates are willing to do the work of the master."
Liu Xin nodded and said: "Zizhong, things in the refugee camps are not that simple. Not only do we have to set up tents and prepare food for the people who have fled, but also prevent the epidemic from spreading, and we must find ways to find work for these people. So that they can support themselves and get out of the shadow of leaving their homes as soon as possible,"
Mi Zhu listened for a moment. It turned out that there were so many ways in the refugee camp. However, for the people of his hometown, he couldn't back down no matter how difficult he was. Mi Zhu gritted his teeth and said: "The subordinates will never disappoint the lord's hope."
Liu Xin nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Liu is relieved if you have said that, so, Zizhong, you go to Yuan Hao, and he will arrange manpower for you and allocate money and food."
Seeing Mi Zhu leaving in a hurry, Jushou asked incomprehensibly: "Why did the lord think of setting up this refugee camp? Xuzhou has a million registered permanent residence. If he knew that the lord had set up a refugee camp, he would definitely have a brainstorm when war broke out. Come here, that's a big burden."
Liu Xin laughed and said, "It depends on which angle you stand in. Different angles can draw different conclusions. If you look at these people who are fleeing as a burden, then they will definitely become a burden. People who flee as a precious resource, they will surely surprise you."
