Cao Cao's approach was too domineering, and the seizure of the entire Shouchun City was only given to Liu Bei, which was morally unjustifiable.

Cao Cao didn't want to do this, but Cao Cao was also difficult. Although he is the main force in the crusade against Yuan Shu and a great prince, but the people under his rule are short of clothes and little clothing, this time he got so much loot, Cao Cao didn't want to have any cheeks or anything in order to live a better life.

Cao Cao drove Liu Bei back to Xuzhou so quickly, he wanted to dominate the entire Jianghuai. Nanyang has already been attacked by Liu Biao first, and heavy troops have been arranged to defend it, and Cao Cao can't start. And Sun Ce in the south firmly controlled the Lujiang River in his hands and continued to encroach on the north. In such a situation, Cao Cao did not allow Liu Bei to come to get a piece of the pie again.

After the capture of Shouchun, Cao Cao immediately reported to Liu Xie in Xuchang, explaining that he had successfully suppressed Yuan Shu's rebellion, and the thief leader Yuan Shu was missing, and the jade seal of the country was nowhere to be found, and Cao Cao said that he would definitely catch Yuan Shu. In the end, Cao Cao asked his subordinates for credit, and everyone was promoted, hoping that Liu Xie could agree, and he couldn't chill the hearts of the soldiers.

After Liu Xie saw this good news, he shook his head helplessly, what else could he do but agree.

In order to declare yourself

Liu Xie's edict soon reached Cao Cao's hands,

After driving Liu Bei away, Cao Cao began to clean up the mess left by Yuan Shu. Cao Cao didn't know whether Yuan Shu was dead or alive, but if Yuan Shu appeared in front of Cao Cao now, Cao Cao would definitely cut him with a thousand knives.

Yuan Shu has caused a lot of harm to the entire Jianghuai, and the people don't even have the most basic rations, and they are looking forward to Cao Cao, the big Han Sikong, who can bring them a bite to eat. Cao Cao didn't expect this to be the case at all.

In order to appease the people, Cao Cao opened the treasury of Shouchun and took out more than half of it as food for the people to satisfy their hunger. But if this continues, the entire Jianghuai will become a burden on Cao Cao.

Moreover, the family on Jianghuai's side is spoiled by Yuan Shu, and it can be said that there is no evil. None of these families, including the Yuan family, ran away, their family had a big business, and they couldn't go if they wanted to.

These great families are now the best fat sheep in front of Cao Cao. If you deal with them, you can get a huge amount of grain and grass, wealth and land, and you can buy the hearts of the people who are oppressed by the big families, so why not.

Cao Cao decisively raised the butcher's knife against these families.

Each of these great families had their own private soldiers, and it was impossible for them to obey so easily, and some even questioned why Cao Cao did something to them.

Cao Cao attached himself to the big hat of Yuan Shu's rebellion, and then sent a large army to deal with the Yuan family that had done the most evil.

During the reign of Yuan Shu, the Yuan family made an unprecedented discovery, all the men in the Yuan family, including babies, had fields and titles, and now they were unlucky, and they were all arrested by Cao Cao and imprisoned. The entire Runan Yuan family seemed to be about to be destroyed overnight.

Cao Cao copied the Yuan family, and after counting the income, he found that the wealth of the entire Yuan family was enough for him to fight abroad for nearly two years. The accumulation of the fourth and third princes over the years is not a small number.

The news that Cao Cao was going to destroy the Yuan family alarmed Yuan Shao, who was far north. Yuan Shao sent the fastest knight as an emissary to deliver a letter to Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao hoped that Cao Cao would see his old feelings and let go of the Yuan family in Runan.

Cao Cao directly lost Yuan Shao's letter and let the Yuan family go, so what did he eat and drink.

When Cao Cao was about to drive away the envoy, Yuan Shao's envoy took out another letter.

It turned out that Yuan Shao had already calculated that Cao Cao would not let go of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao felt that if Cao Cao didn't talk about the love of the year, then he could only prepare another letter.

In another letter, Yuan Shao scolded Cao Cao for being unkind, and finally said that all the wealth of the Yuan family could be taken as his own, but he hoped that Cao Cao would keep the people of the Yuan family and not use butcher knives against them.

Cao Cao blushed a little, Yuan Shao saw through himself.

After thinking about it again, Cao Cao decided to give the Yuan family a chance to live, but the person who did a lot of evil could only be held responsible for his own actions.

The envoy said that his lord would be able to understand this situation.

On the second day, Cao Cao beheaded all the more than 20 Yuan family members who had done a lot of evil at the entrance of the vegetable market. The people who were choked by the Yuan family's scourge applauded.

And the rest of the Yuan family was secretly sent to Yuan Shao by Cao Cao, and they did their last bit of affection.

The Yuan family in Runan was destroyed by Cao Cao with thunder in a blink of an eye, and the other families could see that Cao Cao was a ruthless person and began to panic.

Especially those families who questioned Cao Cao, they were worried and afraid of Cao Cao's revenge every day. Some smart people immediately expressed their loyalty to Cao Cao, as for the previous behavior, it was completely a bastard thing done by these bastards, hoping that Lord Cao Sikong would have a large number of them and let them go, and they would definitely take Cao Sikong as the leader in the future.

This is a typical wall-to-wall style. Cao Cao wants to clean up these families, but at the moment Cao Cao still needs these families to maintain his rule. Moreover, Jianghuai's family and Yanzhou Yingchuan's family have an in-law relationship, and Cao Cao can't go too far.

However, some families who dared to resist before were raided by Cao Cao, and those who should be beheaded still have to be beheaded, and kill a few chickens to show other families, so that they can be obedient in the future.

In front of Cao Cao's bloody butcher's knife, the remaining families certainly knew how to choose, and they obediently obeyed Cao Cao's orders and obeyed Cao Cao's orders.

Cao Cao got what he wanted, and with a huge income, Cao Cao waved his hand and ordered local officials in Jianghuai and Huai to give relief to the people and distribute seeds for the coming year. The people were grateful, lamenting that they had met a good official and were finally able to end their days of starvation.

After a period of rectification, Cao Cao governed Jianghuai to the top. The chaos of Yuan Shu's reign contrasted sharply with the stability and prosperity of Cao Cao's rule. Cao Cao's prestige here has greatly increased, and he has gathered a huge number of people's hearts.

Liu Bei of Xuzhou was so depressed that he vomited blood, and what Cao Cao was doing now in Jianghuai was what he wanted to do. Now that Cao Cao has preempted him, Liu Bei has cursed Cao Cao hundreds of times in private.

Liu Bei didn't know that it was, he would soon face Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, who had enough food and grass, recruited a large number of soldiers on the Jianghuai side and enriched his army.

Cao Cao set his sights on the rich Xuzhou, as long as he captured Xuzhou, then he would be able to use the Yellow River as the boundary with Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao sharpened his knife and prepared to give Liu Bei a ruthless blow, but Liu Bei in Xuzhou didn't know it at all.
