Chapter 710: Seeking Material
On the material, the remnants of the wood.......
Ask for fish, and the dry valley of the minister.......
If you seek power, you will be killed.......
What is the price of rights? What is the price of life? ........
"Lord, are you still sad about the slaughter of the people of Xuzhou?" Xiahou Yuan watched as the Qingzhou army in the distance picked up the corpses in those pits with all hands and feet, dismembered them with daggers, and loaded large pieces of human flesh onto the wheelbarrow that pulled the corpses over. Even though it's not very real, it's still frowning.
"What I said just now, can you know what it means?" Cao Cao did not answer Xiahou Yuan's words, but asked this sentence inexplicably. But his eyes were still staring at the tragic scene in the distance, as if he wanted to remember this moment of beastliness in his heart forever.
"When the Lord desires timber, his subordinates cut down a forest; When the Lord desires a fish, his subordinates drain the water in the valley. If the lord wants to gain power, his subordinates will ........" Speaking of this, Xiahou Yuan felt that his bones were cold. Watching the wheelbarrows loaded with 'rice meat' military rations drive in front of him. Even though he had killed countless people, he couldn't help but feel a burst of retching in his abdomen.........
"Yes, with the Lord's last order, 100,000 people in Xuzhou will become corpses. Moreover, it is still the end of the bones left........ "Cao Cao walked down this high valley slowly, and it seemed that he never wanted to look back. But his clenched hands at this time betrayed the true feelings in his heart.
"Lord, you also have to ........do this" Xiahou Yuan was helpless, he knew that this matter could not be completely blamed on Cao Cao's head, and he opened his mouth to comfort Cao Cao and said: "In the troubled times, isn't it also a kind of torture for these people to live?" What's more, after the lord's move, the entire Xuzhou will never usher in war in the future. When the next generation grows up, they will only remember the kindness of the Lord for food and clothing, and where will they remember what they have done today? ”
"Blood and sin are inexhaustible......... Even after a hundred or a thousand years, history will still remember that I, Cao Mengde, was angry at the crown and washed Xuzhou in blood! Cao Cao finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, he suddenly turned his head, looked at Xiahou Yuan and said: "Today, today, there are only a few people who can know my Cao Mengde's hard work. But today, there are already countless fools who don't understand my heart, and they have begun to criticize me!! ”
When he finished saying this, Xiahou Yuan was silent. This result, in fact, is also taken for granted. It's just that he is a talent, and he can't think of how to solve Cao Cao's heartache at this time.
The two walked silently, and unconsciously walked to Cheng Yu's side. At this time, Cheng Yu was holding a stack of wind-supporting papers in his hand, and was asking his subordinates: "How many people have we killed?" ”
"Strategist, all the people in this area have been killed by us........ Please advise the lord to stop?! A civil official suddenly stepped forward and kowtowed and cried blood.
"I'm just asking you, how many people have you killed?!" Cheng Yu didn't raise his eyelids, as if he was casually talking and laughing. But the clever civil official had already seen it, and Cheng Yu glanced at his right hand slightly: it was the hand that was cut by Xiahoudun, and it was also the hand of the lord who dripped blood into his palm!
The main thing is that that hand was once stained with blood!!
If he continued to be verbose, then the civil official knew that Cheng Yu would definitely let his hands be stained with another wisp of blood!
"In this area, we have killed more than 50,000 people........ "The civil official replied tremblingly, and after speaking, he fell to the ground and did not dare to look at Cheng Yu again.
After Cheng Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly paused for a moment when he looked at the file, then raised his head and said two words in a low but resolute voice: "Not enough ........"
"No, not enough?!" When all the civil officials heard this, they all involuntarily took a step back and said in shock.
And it was at this time that Cheng Yu raised his eyes and saw Cao Cao beside him, and couldn't help but salute and said, "Lord, the minister said that these are not enough, right?" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, his face did not change in the slightest, and he said, "It's really not enough........ According to the current situation, at least 100,000 people will be killed! Send the order down, spread the number of Qingzhou soldiers in the nearby cities, and tell them, kill me again, kill, kill!! ”
"Lord!!" A civil official couldn't listen to it anymore, so he couldn't help but step forward and hug Cao Cao's thigh and prayed: "In this way, you will become a sinner in the world, you know, the old Jiujiang is too guarded, and has already scolded you, scolded you, scolded you........"
"Birds and beasts are not as good, and the castration is in trouble!" Cao Cao lightly spit out these eight words, and then looked at the civil official who hugged his thighs with a gloomy face, and stared at him so stunned that he let go of his thighs in fear before he smiled and said: "This person is a famous man left by Chen, and after retiring, he is still a Shilin master." It's a pity that he insulted me Cao Mengde, and even dared to say that my conquest of Yuan Shu was against the sky? What is the use of such disloyal and short-sighted people?! ”
"Your lord, you ........" The civil official suddenly retreated in fright, kowtowing like pounding garlic. He knew that Cao Cao had always been a resolute person, and when he said this at this time, he must have already done something to the side.
Sure enough, Cao Cao pointed to the wheelbarrow that drove in front of him just now, and said, "Perhaps, among the carts of rice and meat, there is a contribution from Bian Rang........"
"What?!" The civil officials turned their heads suddenly, looking at the wheelbarrow pushed by the fierce Qingzhou soldiers, whose eyes were full of beasts, and a thigh bone fell off due to a bump, and they couldn't help but turn pale with fright. Even, some civil officials knelt directly on the ground and vomited.
"However, I really want to thank Bian Rang, if he hadn't scolded Cao, Cao really didn't know that his wife was so young and beautiful. It's a pity to let the spring and autumn period be empty there like this........." After speaking, Cao Cao suddenly breathed a cold breath, stared at the civil official fiercely and asked, "I don't know if Your Excellency's wife is also a beautiful person?!" ”
"Lord, lord........" The civil official naturally thought of the tragic situation of Bian Rang's death and family ruin, and at this time, he heard Cao Cao's inquiry, how could he not know that Cao Cao was using his unique way to announce to the world that he could completely kill and take the life of others?
As a result, the civil official was so frightened that he almost lost his incontinence at this time, kowtowed and cried with tears: "The wife of a lowly position is a woman without salt, how can she enter the eyes of Lord Sikong........"
"Good." Cao Cao walked around the civil official, and after seeing that the civil official's crotch was already low and peeing, he laughed disdainfully and said, "However, you did say a lot just now, 100,000 people........ Ay. ”
The civil officials looked at Cao Cao in disbelief, and it was unimaginable that Cao Cao, who killed Bian Rang's family and forcibly took other people's wives as mistresses, actually found out with a conscience. But to be honest, at this moment, these civil officials have long stopped thinking about the life and death of those people in Xuzhou. After all, saving the lives of their families is what they care more about.
And in the eyes of Xiahou Yuan and Cheng Yu, although they both had two points of disbelief. But the other eight emotions in the eyes of Xiahou Yuan and Cheng Yu are different: Xiahou Yuan is relieved and sad, while Cheng Yu is disappointed and helpless. Only Xu Chu and Dian Wei, looking at Cao Cao's eyes, what has always remained the same is loyalty.
But at this time, Cao Cao turned around again, looked up at the tragic scene in the distance again, and said, "I really should have an idea." 100,000 people........ It's still a little too little, so let's 300,000 people!! ”
When Cheng Yu heard this, his eyes couldn't help but burst with a gleam. And Xiahou Yuan trembled slightly, because, he remembered, just now, Cao Cao also said:
On the material, the remnants of the wood.......
Ask for fish, and the dry valley of the minister.......
If you seek power, you will be killed.......
Right and price? What is the price of life? ........
Why? This ancient precept, in Cao Cao, is completely reversed?
Are these civil officials too stupid, or are they too paranoid to let those scribes, or are Meng De cold-blooded and murderous people in his bones?
Or is this troubled era an era of reversal and confusion of yin and yang? ........
