"Ministers, see the king!"

"Excuse me!"

Above the lobby, after the usual etiquette, Cao Cao, who was dressed in black civilian clothes, was on top of the throne, and Xu Chu, who was wearing armor and a long sword at his waist, stood behind him to protect Cao Cao's safety.

Cao Cao, who was kneeling on the main seat, put his hands together, put them on his abdomen, glanced at the civil and military forces below, and asked out loud: "Youzhou has not been peaceful for a few years, and it has encountered the barbarians of Wuhuan and Xianbei, and they have invaded continuously, this is the humiliation of my Han Dynasty, and it is the shame of all the officials in Youzhou!" ”

I didn't expect that Cao Cao, who was still kind and pleasant last night, suddenly changed his face today, as if he was ready to settle old accounts, these officials once again clarified the correctness of accompanying the king like a tiger in their hearts, and at the same time they were shocked, and quickly knelt on the ground, and shouted: "The ministers are guilty, please atone for the king!" ”

In the face of these officials' pleas, Cao Cao did not say a word, but looked down coldly, Cao Cao's actions made the scene solemn, and Xun Yu, who originally thought that Cao Cao was preparing to use this to deter or take the opportunity to replace these officials who originally belonged to Yuan Shao, saw this, and his heart was not only anxious.

For these officials who claimed to have to abandon the city until the last moment, Xun Yu of course wished that he could let them all die, after all, such officials who lost the city and lost their land were really not worth being appointed by Cao Cao.

Of course, there is no problem in dealing with these officials in Youzhou, after all, the two invasions of Wuhuan and Xianbei have caused the lives of Youzhou to be devastated, but at the same time, they have also dealt a big blow to the local bureaucracy in Youzhou.

At this time, Cao Cao took advantage of the power of the great victory to execute these officials, and there would definitely be no problems in Youzhou, and the reason why Xun Yu really disagreed with dealing with Youzhou officials at this time was the other three states.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad. It has been known since ancient times, not long after Cao Jun entered the four northern states, most of the local officials are still on the original Yuan Shao's side, and if there is news that the officials of Youzhou have been killed at this time. Those local officials in the other three states, who know what they will think about it, if they let the four states become chaotic again, it is undoubtedly not worth it.

Although Cao Cao didn't know Xun Yu's inner activities, he himself didn't want to deal with these pests right away. After all, Cao Cao still understands the possible consequences of dealing with these pests, but he can't come openly and darkly.

Thinking of the plan in his heart, some smiles quickly flashed across Cao Cao's face: "Hmph, for the sake of it, you didn't take the initiative to open the city and surrender, you all fought until the last moment." I had to flee the city for the sake of it, plus this time I had merit in defending the city, and the merits were compensated, so I forgave you this time, get up! ”

Cao Cao's face changed suddenly, which made Xun Yu, who was about to make suggestions, breathe a sigh of relief, and the officials below who were worried were also relieved, and shouted one after another, after thanking Cao Cao for his kindness, they slowly stood up one by one. Some officials even wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now Xianbei has retreated, in a short time. will not disturb Youzhou, this time, is the best opportunity for Youzhou to recuperate, you were originally the people of Youzhou, and there will be a short period of time and experience to resist the barbarians, Lone decided. Transfer you to the side of Xun Yu, the prime minister of Menxia Province, to help him restore the vitality of Youzhou, and at the same time strengthen the defense and defend against the barbarians outside the Saiwai, Wen Ruo, this matter will be explained to you. ”

Seeing Cao Cao's gaze shifted, he secretly praised Cao Cao's first threat, then grace, and the action of eliminating the status and position of these officials after the successive elimination and defeat of the bright and dark descending, Xun Yu stood up with a smile and said: "The minister is ordered, all colleagues, in the future, the prime minister will work with your colleagues to revive the vitality of Youzhou, and not disappoint the king." ”

Looking at Cao Cao with a stern expression on his face, and then looking at Xun Yu with a smile on his face, although these officials somewhat understood what Cao Cao's actions represented, but they were able to save their lives, coupled with Cao Cao's threats before, and those officials who did not understand these secret confrontations at all, they could only grit their teeth, reluctantly handed over the original rights in their hands, and turned to Xun Yu's side, for Cao Cao, who sold them, to continue to contribute.

"Very good, I hope that your ministers will not disappoint Gu in the end."

Cao Cao's words can be said to be meaningful, and the meaning of the words can be said to be that individuals have personal thoughts, but these officials who have handed over their local positions are like tigers with teeth extracted, and it is not enough for Cao Cao to continue to pay attention to them.

Today's convening of officials, big and small, in addition to using such a seemingly glamorous method to remove these officials from their local positions, there is also a more important one, that is, the method of disposing of Xianbei prisoners, and according to the unique Chinese practice, Cao Cao could not directly say his wrong thoughts, but had to ask his subordinates first.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Xianbei is evil, most people are envious of my Han and want to become the people of my Han Dynasty, not to mention, my Han is a state of etiquette, the Heavenly Empire, killing Xianbei captives and publicizing it, undoubtedly damaging my reputation as a Han Dynasty, the minister thinks that after releasing it, not only will these Xianbei prisoners be grateful, and they will no longer invade my Han land in the future, but also be able to proclaim virtue and the Quartet, and let the Quartet come to the court!"

As soon as Cao Cao's question was raised, some officials immediately jumped out and vigorously preached the practice of the state of etiquette, demanding that these captives be released so that they would be grateful and not invade the Han land again.

Cao Cao's expression remained unchanged, but from the tightly clasped hands, he could understand the anger in his heart, he really didn't expect that to this day, there would be people who dared to say such things, could it be that they all forgot what the Xianbei people did.

Cao Cao, who was furious in his heart, continued to speak quietly on his face: "Other than that, do you have any other opinions?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that when the people who are released into the captives are killed, Xianbei is the mortal enemy of our dynasty, since the beginning of the period of Emperor Ling, it has not only invaded the four northern states of China, but now it is also an invasion of Youzhou, resulting in the destruction of the lives of Youzhou, Chen Tang said, those who offended my Han Dynasty, although it is far more than the punishment, now the Central Plains is chaotic, and my Han army is unable to get out of the fortress, however, even so, it is impossible to let go of these Xianbei prisoners, once they are released, it will help the arrogance of the barbarians in all directions, and the future invasion will inevitably intensify. The human head is cast into the Beijing Temple, passed on to the nine sides, and shocks the Quartet! (To be continued.) )
