Zhong Xuan nodded, "Very good!" Immediately send people to block the surrounding area of the canyon, and no idle people are allowed to enter! Send someone to report the situation here to Xu Yuanjun! ”

"No!" The lieutenant clenched his fists and promised.

"Captain, we've got something going on in the cabin next to us!" An officer rushed into Okura to report, and Zhong Xuan immediately followed the officer to the wooden house on the side.

When Zhong Xuan saw the situation in the house, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, and asked the officer beside him, "Who killed them?" ”

The officer replied, "County Guard, when we come in, that's it!" ”

Zhong Xuan couldn't help frowning, squatted down, and when he saw the face of one of them clearly, he couldn't help but say with some surprise: "Isn't this the third child of the Fan family?" How could he die here? ”

Zhong Xuan stood up, glanced around, and muttered: "This is the Fan family's property, it seems that the Fan family has nothing to do with this matter!" ”

Zhong Xuan turned his head and asked the officer on the side, "Have you searched the surroundings?" ”

The officer replied: "Back to the county guard, our people searched the surroundings as soon as possible!" However, due to the heavy rain, no traces were found! ”

Zhong Xuan glanced at the rain outside the door, which was still not abated in the slightest, and couldn't help frowning, turned around and said, "Don't talk nonsense about the situation here, this official will report to Xu Yuanjun!" ”

"No!" The officer clenched his fists in agreement.

Zhong Xuan glanced at the two corpses on the ground, "Load these two corpses into the cart and transport them back to Qingzhou!" ”

"No."

About half an hour later, Xu Shu, who was in the Qingzhou Post House, received a relevant message, at this time. It was getting late, and the rain had stopped.

Xu Shu immediately ordered Zhong Xuan not to rush to transport food and money back to Qingzhou for the time being. After talking about it the next day, Xu Shu immediately sent the Imperial Forest Army to the local army camp outside the city to transfer troops. In order to strengthen the safety of the Qingchuan Gorge, Xu Shu did not dare to take a little risk now.

At the same time, Yuan Shang and several of his cronies had fled into nearby Zhangqiu County, where they hid in a secret stronghold, and then sent their cronies to Fan's house in Qingzhou.

Early the next morning, the sun appeared in the sky after a long absence, and more than 5,000 local soldiers and soldiers of Zhong Xuan's personal commander escorted the money and grain for the relief of the victims of Qingzhou to Qingzhou City, which was dozens of miles away.

The team arrived in Qingzhou City very quickly, and soon after, the disaster sales points in Qingzhou began to be fully operational. Work on the repair of the embankment was also carried out at the same time.

Qianqing Palace in Chang'an.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen!"

Cao Cao frowned, put down the twists in his hand, glanced at the ministers standing under His Highness, and asked, "Yuan Zhi asks for instructions on how to deal with the Fan family!" What do you think? ”

Xun Yu and the others exchanged a look, and Chen Gong came out and said, "Since the Fan family participated in the rebellion, then they should pay the price for it!" Weichen thought that the three clans of the Fan family were all beheaded, and outside the three clans, they should be punished with exile! ”

Lu Su immediately objected: "No! As it stands. The three leaders of the Fan family who participated in the rebellion were the three masters of the Fan family, and there is no evidence that the entire Fan family was involved in this matter! If you take the liberty of sinning, I am afraid that people's hearts will be unconvinced! ”

Chen Gong frowned and said: "The three masters of the Fan family have used a lot of manpower and material resources in this matter, and it is impossible to do it with his status in the Fan family!" The head of the Fan family must have been involved in this matter. It's just behind the scenes! ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "What the public platform said is extremely true!" But what Zijing said is not unreasonable! ”

Cao Cao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Your Majesty, you should not only send someone to reprimand the Fan family. Although this can't cause much damage to the Fan family in the short term, it will be in the long run. The losses suffered by the Fan family will be great! Xun Yu suggested.

Cao Cao paused, frowned, and said, "Wouldn't this startle the snake?" ”

Xun Yu said with a smile: "The Fan family is just a business family with some money in Qingzhou. There is absolutely no need for His Majesty to treat him as an adversary! Just slowly weaken the economic power on which he depends! When they don't have money, even if they want to do anything, it's just a delusion! ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "What Wen Ruo said is extremely true! So do it! Let Xu Shu go to the Fan family on behalf of me to reprimand, and at the same time report this to the entire territory of Qingzhou! ”

His Royal Highness looked at each other and smiled, and said together with a tacit understanding: "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

Cao Cao sat down on the dragon chair, remembered something, and asked a few people: "The envoy of the Yamatai Kingdom has just come to ask me to send troops to rescue them on behalf of their queen!" What do you guys think? ”

Cao Cao had a gloating smile on his face, and seeing this, Jia Xu asked with a smile, "I wonder what Your Majesty has planned?" ”

Cao Cao habitually knocked on the table, squinted his eyes, and said, "I decided to send troops, but not to the rescue, but to carve up the Yamatai with the Northern Alliance Army!" ”

Several people couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, and Lu Su immediately persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" ”

Cao Cao couldn't help frowning, and asked unhappily, "Why did Zijing say this?" ”

Lu Su said: "Right now, the Yamatai Kingdom has surrendered to my Great Wei, and it is respectful and obedient, and there is no disrespect in the slightest!" If Your Majesty raises an unknown teacher, I am afraid that it will endanger everyone in the surrounding vassals and countries! Your Majesty, there has been no teacher and no teacher since ancient times! ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitate, what Lu Su said was not unreasonable.

Xun You also said: "What Zijing said is extremely true. And even if the Yamatai is carved up now, it will be disadvantageous and powerless for my Great Wei! ”

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing and said, "Gongda, I didn't expect you to have the same opinion as Zijing!" ”

Then his face turned pale, "Tell me what you think!" ”

Xun You responded and continued: "As far as the current situation is concerned, if our army wants to occupy the Yamatai Kingdom, it can be said that it will be effortless! However, has Your Majesty thought about what will happen after that? ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but frown.

"After our army completes its strategic plan, the first thing we have to face is the local people who are excited, and if the Northern Coalition Army or even the dog slave country behind it also takes the opportunity to make trouble, the situation of our army will be very bad! After all, Fusang is far away from my Great Wei, and it is difficult for my Great Wei to arrive in Fusang in time in terms of troops and materials! At the same time, the sea has always been treacherous, once our army's sea road is cut off, then our army in Fuso will inevitably be in danger! ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but pace up again, and after a while, Cao Cao stopped, looked at the sun outside the window, and muttered a little helplessly: "It seems that being an emperor really can't do what you want in many cases!" ”

Turning around, he said to the ministers who were waiting for him: "What Gongda and Zijing said is very true! I also thank you for your advice! ”

The two hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Your Majesty is serious!" ”

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little excited in my heart, and I was secretly glad that what I met was worthy of the eternal Mingjun. (To be continued.) )
