Chapter 236: Triumphant Return Please Tuntian
Runan County is big enough, and it is also a place of four wars, and there is not much to defend. If you want to take down here, you need a general to defend it.
Cao Cao hesitated between Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun, almost only once, and then chose Cao Ren.
Don't look at this sister as a bit of a woman, but her mind is very delicate, especially good at guarding. The main thing is that he is young and impulsive, but this is not a big problem.
"Zixiao, you will command the troops and take down Runan County for me, can you?" Cao Cao immediately called the name.
"The subordinates are willing to lay down Runan for the lord!" Cao Ren immediately patted his chest and agreed.
"Lord, I can also ......" Xiahoudun also immediately said.
"Zi Xiaoyun Wen Yunwu, it is enough to have her in the place. If you send Yuan over, I'm afraid I will have to prepare three or four civil officials to assist you......" Cao Cao said a little helplessly, they are all their own people, there is no need to be so polite.
"Mengde, I've been less reckless lately!" Xiahoudun complained directly, what Cao Cao said just now, didn't it mean that she had a reckless personality and couldn't take charge on her own? !
"Say it again!" Cao Cao smiled and pointed at Wang Yong, "Aren't you about to get married?" ”
"This ...... State affairs are important, state affairs are important......" Xiahoudun heard this, and his momentum suddenly weakened. There is no way, according to the agreement, there are about ten days, which is the auspicious day of the zodiac. At that time, Wang Yong plans to marry all four of them in one go. Yes, including Hua Tuo, he is not the irresponsible type.
Xiahoudun was also worried, on the day of the wedding, Wang Yong and the third daughter got married, but she was excluded, and she felt wronged when she thought about it. Suddenly, the matter of commanding the troops to go out on the expedition was embarrassed to mention it again.
"Peace of mind, there will be a chance for you to perform in the future!" Cao Cao looked at her tangled appearance and stepped forward to comfort.
The battle here came to an end, and Cao Ren led his troops south the next day, while the large army began to collect troops and return north. About 30,000 Yellow Turban thieves were captured, as Tuntian soldiers, part-time baggage soldiers, and went south with Cao Ren with supplies, and the rest of the materials returned to Xuchang with the army.
In about two days, the large army returned to Xuchang, and the news that Cao Cao had broken 200,000 yellow turban thieves spread rapidly.
"The future is terrifying, the future is terrifying...... Lu Zhi followed Liu Xie, looking at the army returning triumphantly at the gate of the outer city of Xuchang, which had just been completed, and couldn't help sighing.
If you look closely, you will find that the courtiers in Guanzhong, who followed Liu Xie, were directly a quarter less. In the past ten days or so, the Guanzhong courtiers led by Fu Wan and others united with Huangfu Song to say that Cao Cao had no king, and he mobilized the army privately without going through the court, and he should be punished according to the law!
Liu Xie is not without the strength to fight, after all, Cao Cao has already brought out the large army, and the rest of the Praetorian Guards are in the hands of Xu Huang, Xu Huang is Liu Xie's brother-in-law, plus these courtiers have some family members, and they can also make up a family soldier of three or five thousand.
It is only necessary to arrest Cao Cao and his party, control Xuchang, and then cut off Cao Cao's supplies, let them fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and then come forward to collect the remnants of the soldiers, and quickly clean up the Yellow Turban Thieves with the ability of Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, and then use Yingchuan County as a base to expand, and even call on loyal ministers to come to Qinhuang, Your Majesty will inevitably be able to restore real power, and these courtiers will naturally follow the rising tide, unlike now, just like Cao Cao's subordinates.
Yes, the main reason for their rebellion is actually that they don't want to have a high official position, but they end up like Cao Cao's subordinates. In the final analysis, it is the desire for power that is at work!
But they didn't want to, just put forward such a request, Xun You and Cheng Yu came forward and directly shook out the fact that the performer had connived at his family to bully men and women in Xu County in the past few days, forcibly bought and sold, and even ignored laws and regulations, forcibly bought land, and even took bribes and embezzled public funds (for recruiting the army) with the help of official positions.
When they came to their senses, the Praetorian Guards had been dispatched and they were immediately arrested. A large number of soldiers and weapons were found in their homes, and they were immediately charged with 'rebellion'.
That is, Liu Xie is merciful and does not want to see them die because of this. She can see that these people have their own calculations, but the slogans they make are also for her sake, and they can't chill other people's hearts.
So each of them made fifty boards, asked these courtiers to hand over their weapons and armor, returned the land and commodities they had occupied, and finally dismissed them from their posts and investigated them, which was the final verdict.
Xun You and Cheng Yu did not chase after them, and immediately stopped when they saw this, but in this way, among the courtiers who came from Guanzhong, a quarter of the courtiers were also taken off their official hats and left Xudu in disgrace.
Even Huangfu Song had to blame the beggar bones in the end, and he had to leave the court even though he was in his prime. Originally, according to Xun You and Cheng Yu, or Cao Cao's meaning, she didn't need to resign.
But Huangfu Song knows very well that such a big thing needs a weighty person to take responsibility! This person can't be Lu Zhi as Situ, then it can only be her, the captain!
After this incident, the arrogance of these courtiers from Guanzhong was directly extinguished, at least for a long time, they should be obediently holding their tails! Cao Cao was already in the period of expansion, but no one was allowed to hold her back during this period!
"The minister, the general Cao Cao, obeyed the order to defeat the remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves, and has won a great victory on the edge of the Yinghe River!" Cao Cao led a group of civil and military officers to the palace hall and reported the results of the battle in front of Liu Xie.
"However, despite the great victory over the thieves, the captive hundreds of thousands of coerced people are waiting to be fed. However, last year's famine did not have much food, and although the wind and rain were much smoother this year, it was also a period of lack of success. Not to mention, if these hundreds of thousands of people are left alone, it may change over time! Cao Cao said the biggest problem today.
"What's so difficult about this, just kill it!" The prince came forward to propose, and this guy actually escaped.
"No!" Lu Zhi was opposed, she actually saw that Cao Cao had other calculations, and it was estimated that he did not intend to kill these prisoners at all. Take 10,000 steps back and say, since it all shows that they are coerced people, not thieves, it is not appropriate to kill them!
"Indeed, these people are all the people of my Han Dynasty, but they are coerced by thieves, and they are not thieves, if they are blindly killed, they will hurt the hearts of other people, thereby reducing their loyalty to the Han Dynasty.
The minister thought that when these captives were fully utilized to carry out tuntian in Xu County and several surrounding counties, one would give them something to do, and the other would make use of the labor force, and even grow some food, which would also subsidize the needs of the military and civilians. Cao Cao proposed, after speaking, she revised Wang Yong's set of theories and played them.
Obviously, this has already involved the revision of the "Han Law", and the entire court was suddenly in chaos. Some people agree, some people oppose, and those who agree think that they can try it, but those who disagree are those who move the thing 'Zu Xun' out.
"That's it! It's just a trial, and it doesn't hurt! Liu Xie finally had to come forward and make a conclusion about this matter.
