Cao Cao heard what Wang Tu said. Only then did I realize that what I had just said was a bit silly. Isn't that comparing his father to a rat? Think again. This Wang Tu's words are even more outrageous. He actually compared himself to that "rat." Is it tolerable or unbearable. Cao Cao's face suddenly sank. Shouted: "Come here."
The soldiers outside the door stepped in. Stand aside. Wait for Cao Cao to issue an order.
Cao Cao wanted to order Wang Tu to be pushed out and beheaded. But think of it for so many years. He has no credit and hard work by his side. Can't help but hesitate again. He groaned: "Wang Tu. Which hand did you use to touch that woman."
Wang Tu didn't understand what Liu Xin meant when asked. Stretched out his right hand and gestured. Said: "Go back to the lord. It's this hand."
Cao Cao nodded. Said: "Come here. Push Wang Tu out. Cut off his right hand."
Wang Tu was shocked. "Plop" fell to his knees. Repeatedly kowtow. Ask Cao Cao for mercy. He touched the woman's breast. But Liu Xin has already been punished for this matter. Thought to return to Puyang. Will also get the sympathy of Cao Cao. There is even a little hope that Cao Cao will avenge him in the future. How did he expect that Cao Cao not only sympathized with him. Also cut his right hand. Liu Xin cut off his nose and ears. Doesn't affect his life very much. But one hand was chopped off. And it's the right hand of the chop. Wouldn't he become a useless person. If Wang Tu knew that Liu Xin's original intention was to cut off his eggs. Maybe he will feel very lucky now. Happily let Cao Cao chop his hand. It's a pity that he didn't know that he had escaped. Therefore, he was puzzled by Cao Cao's order. There was even a hint of resentment.
Cao Cao ignored him. Waved. Continue to look over those bamboo slips.
The two soldiers who were ordered to enter the study usually saw their captain not pleasing to the eye. Now it's going to be even more troublesome. No matter where Wang Tu is begging. It's like a dead dog. Drag him out. A scream came from outside the door.
Those soldiers could not understand Wang Tu's usual style. Deliberately mischievous. Seeing Wang Tu fainted with pain. He also brought a bucket of water to wake him up. Wang Tu looked at his bloody, bare right wrist. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. in fact. At this time, his broken wrist had lost consciousness. Doesn't feel pain. He just wondered why Cao Cao had to chop off one of his hands. Maybe he just wanted to break his head and couldn't think of it. This time it turned out to be bad on the mouth that was used to bragging.
At this time. A roll of bamboo slips and a broken palm were placed in front of Cao Cao. That scroll of bamboo slips is a reply from Cao Cao to Liu Xin. The severed palm was naturally just cut off from Wang Tu. Cao Cao looked at the broken palm. Suddenly felt a little relieved. Xindao. Grandma's. I haven't touched it yet. You kid dare to go fuck. Don't chop who you chop.
God was out for a while. Cao Cao sighed. Instructed: "Bring a kit over here. Put the broken palm and this back book in. Quickly send it to Xiangyang."
At this moment. The counties of Xuzhou have gradually become chaotic. Cao Song was killed in Xuzhou. Cao Cao soon spread the news that Xingbing avenged his father. There is panic everywhere. A few years ago, the Yellow Turban made a mess. The scene of ruined walls and corpses all over the field is still vivid. It was finally peaceful for a few days. Seeing that there is another continuation of misfortune.
People in troubled times are as cheap as dogs. If Cao Jun really killed him. No matter how strict their military discipline is. The people will inevitably suffer. Besides, many people have heard of it. Cao Cao’s soldiers turned out to be the yellow turbans who made trouble in Xuzhou. He was driven out of his hometown by Tao Qian that year. This time I will definitely get even worse. For the people of Xuzhou. Who doesn't want to live well. Encountered this kind of thing. Escape is the first choice.
The people living in the city are a little more relieved. After all, looking at the tall city wall. I always feel so dependent. But the people living in the countryside are not at ease in their hearts. When the Yellow Turban rebelled. It also started with burning, killing and looting in villages and towns. Almost all the places he passed were scorched earth. There are always some villagers who still have their homeland difficult to leave. Can't let go of the broken pot. But more villagers plan to flee. And some people have begun to clean up gold and silver. Planning to go to the city to join relatives and friends.
Ten rumors spread. Ten pass one hundred. Hundreds of thousands. Soon it spread all over the land of Xuzhou. It spreads much faster than the plague. Jian Yong heard the news on the streets of Xuzhou. Hurried back. He folded his hands and said: "Lord. I don't know who has leaked the news. There are legends all over the street. Cao Cao is about to kill him."
There are no special circumstances. Guan Yu stayed with Liu Bei. Seeing Jian Yong's anxious look. He stroked his chin and lowered his long beard. Said disdainfully: "Sir, what is it. My eldest brother already knows about this."
Cao Song was killed. Cao Cao is about to commit. It is still the top secret in Xuzhou. Even many civil and military officials under Tao Qian didn't know about this. Naturally, Liu Bei is the most clear about the ins and outs of the whole thing. Many details are in the dark even for Tao Qian. Tao Qian was still sending people around to search for Zhang Kai's whereabouts. Want to catch this scourge. Reconciled with Cao Cao. But Zhang Kai seemed to have evaporated. How did he know that Zhang Kai had been burned into coke by Liu Bei in a big fire.
Liu Bei sent someone to disclose the news to Liu Xin and Yuan Shao in secret. Did not tell Tao Qian. Calculated according to the itinerary. The envoy he sent to the two places has not yet returned. The whole Xuzhou was full of troubles. and. He also sent someone to check it quietly. The news did not come from one place. It seems to be spread in several counties at the same time. When he wants to find out the source. But I couldn't find the slightest clue. but. One thing Liu Bei can be sure of. This news was deliberately spread. This person cannot be Liu Xin or Yuan Shao. Because they got the news and then arranged the matter. Time is too late. Well. This person is most likely Cao Cao. It seems. Cao Cao will soon take action on Xuzhou.
in fact. Liu Bei doesn't know yet. The day when he sent someone to tell Mi Zhu the news. Mi Zhu couldn't wait to see Liu Xin. And Liu Xin quickly decided. To create a chaos in Xuzhou. The Fourth Army garrisoned in Xuzhou was completely withdrawn. But there are still many phantom spies left. Moreover, the dozen or so homing pigeons that Li Ming first trained were all used to transmit information between Xuzhou and Xiangyang. therefore. The people in Liu Bei arrived in Xiangyang the second day. This information was fed back into the hands of Xuzhou Phantom. And gave Liu Xin's order. then. The news spread throughout Xuzhou.
It doesn't matter who spread the news deliberately. In short. This situation is not the result Liu Bei wanted.
Once Cao Cao used troops against Xuzhou. Tao Qian didn't have any people available. He can only rely on Liu Bei. And Liu Bei can take advantage of this opportunity. Seized greater power from Tao Qian. Even became the real master of Xuzhou.
but. Liu Bei was not sure that he could beat Cao Cao. So he wanted to disclose the news to Liu Xin and Yuan Shao. He believed. Liu Xin and Yuan Shao got the news. I will not miss this good opportunity. Surely he would cut a knife behind Cao Cao. By the time. Cao Cao suffered from the enemy. There is no other way but to withdraw. The war in Xuzhou will also be over. And this time. He Liu Bei has mastered the power of Xuzhou. There will be a basis for contending with the world's heroes.
but. Once Xuzhou is in chaos. The situation is complicated. Tao Qian's people like Zang Ba, Sun Guan, and Ruo Rong are not fuel-efficient lamps. Taking advantage of the chaos in Xuzhou. They are likely to be on each side. By the time. Even Tao Qian once again proposed to give him the position of Zhou Mu. That would not be a complete Xuzhou.
and so. Liu Bei didn't want Xuzhou to be chaotic. At least not for now.
"Second brother. You go to the manor outside the city. Now the most important thing is to stabilize people's hearts." Liu Bei waved his hand. I confessed a few words. Until Guan Yu bowed and exited the hall. Then he said with a smile. "Xianhe. Someone must have made trouble on this matter. But. Don't be afraid. As long as you make good use of it. There are still articles to do."
He and Jian Yong have known each other since childhood. Know each other's roots. therefore. In front of Jian Yong. Liu Bei doesn't need to do any disguise. Because he knows. Even if it is disguised, it is useless. but. He was different in front of Guan Yu. He must maintain that tall image. Only then can Guan Yu work hard for him. and so. When discussing some "conspiracy" with Jian Yong. Liu Bei would find an excuse to let Guan Yu do other things first. Move him away.
Jian Yong has always been disapproving of Liu Bei's actions being so careful. Guan Yu is your righteous brother. And he is loyal. Is it still worried that he will fail to get it done. but. This is just what Jian Yong had in mind. People like him are quite rich. It will not show up.
Seeing Liu Bei's confident look. Jian Yong said, "It turns out that the lord has a countermeasure. But the subordinates have been worrying too much."
"I have considered this matter for a long time. Success and failure are still ambivalent. Xianhe. You go to see Tao Qian now. Report to him what you heard on the street." Liu Bei said. There was a pause. Beckon Jian Yong to come forward. Attached to his ear and whispered: "Then..."
Jian Yong nodded again and again. Praised: "The lord really did a trick."
The news that Cao Cao was about to commit a crime spread in Xuzhou City. Tao Qian is a pastoralist in Xuzhou. How could I not hear a little wind. He was walking back and forth in the hall rubbing his hands. do not know what to do. I heard the doorman report. Said it was Jian Yong begging to meet.
Ever since Mi Zhu abandoned him. Liu Bei and Jian Yong became Tao Qian's most trusted people. As for Guan Yu. Except for Liu Bei's respectful face. Seeing that everyone else is half-dead. As if others owed him a lot of money. but. Guan Yu is Liu Bei's brother. As long as Liu Bei can truly help himself. What is Guan Yu's expression. In Tao Qian's view. It is not so important.
I heard Jian Yong begged to see you. Tao Qian quickly said: "Hurry up and ask."
Jian Yong entered the hall. Seeing Tao Qian's expression. It's clear in my mind. He folded his hands and said, "The lord is anxious for the news to leak out."
