The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 283 Kill!

Cao Bao had never heard of Zhao Yun before.But after these two days, this name will definitely be engraved deep in his memory like a curse, and will never be forgotten!

First he led the army to besiege the Cao family, then he shot himself in the thigh before the battle, and finally took my Cao family back to Tan County in a prison car.

Now, she actually slandered Lin Zichu one after another, trying to kill herself.

Zhao Zilong, I, Cao Bao, have no enmity with you, what resentment!
After this matter is exposed, I must make it look good!

Lin Chao turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun, puzzled, "General Zilong, what's wrong?"

Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Supervisor, even if the Cao family is not part of Dong's bandit, it is a fact that Cao Sima led his servants to resist the imperial army, and he cannot deny it!"

"This……"

Hearing this, Lin Chao hesitated for a moment, looked at the pitiful Cao Bao, and then at the serious Zhao Yun, his face was full of embarrassment.

Zhao Yun further said: "Supervisor, the lord is Xuzhou Mu, who was personally entrusted by the imperial court, and some soldiers under his command are also athletes who follow the lord to fight on the battlefield. Cao Sima is so openly provocative. If the supervising army does not deal with it, I am afraid that the soldiers will be cold. Heart."

Faced with Zhao Yun's righteous accusations, Lin Chao had no choice but to laugh: "General Zilong, Cao Sima just said that this was a misunderstanding, and the Cao family did not intend to fight against the imperial army. For the sake of someone, how about letting it go this time?"

This Lin Zichu... is still a kind person!

Seeing that Lin Chaoken came forward to mediate for him, Cao Bao was very moved.

However, facing Lin Chao, the governor of Xuzhou and his immediate boss, Zhao Yun shook his head slowly, and said with a firm gaze: "Supervising the army is related to the morale of the army, please forgive me for not daring to respond!"

Cao Bao:? ? ?
Why, Lin Zichu can't speak well!
Facing the stubborn Zhao Yun, Lin Chao sighed, and persuaded again: "Zilong, do you really want to kill the Cao family?"

"I dare not, but this time the Cao family blatantly attacked the imperial army, causing more than a hundred casualties in our army!" Zhao Yun said indignantly, "If the supervising army does not punish the culprit, I can't explain to the soldiers, nor Confess to the families of the dead soldiers! Please watch over the army!"

"Zhao Zilong, you are presumptuous!"

Lin Chao immediately reprimanded angrily: "Do you want to use this as an excuse to coerce someone?"

Well cursed!
Seeing Lin Chao reprimanding Zhao Yun, Cao Bao shouted in his heart.

Zhao Yun immediately clasped his fists and said, "My subordinates dare not, but please ask the supervising army to give the soldiers an explanation!"

Between the words, there was no half compromise.

Lin Chao sneered and said, "Confession, how do you want XX to explain?"

"According to the court's regulations, whoever kills will die, and whoever hurts is equally guilty!"

This sentence sounds reasonable, but in fact it is not the case at all.

Politics is always full of compromises. When dealing with such bloody conflicts, it is impossible for the superiors to deal with them in a rigid manner according to the court decrees. They can only be resolved through negotiation according to local conditions.

So Zhao Yun moved out the court decree under the eyes of everyone, just to crucify Cao Bao and not give him the slightest chance to stand up.

At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Lin Chao again, wanting to see how he would respond.

Lin Chao pondered for a while, and finally waved his sleeves and said, "Okay, General Zilong is right, then bring all the members of the Cao family here, and let General Zilong personally identify who is guilty and who is not."

"As ordered!"

Zhao Yun clasped his fists in response.

Cao Bao:? ? ?
What do you mean, Lin Zichu is scared!

Then what will happen to my Cao family's life?
At this time, Chen Deng suddenly said: "Chang Shi, absolutely not!"

Just kidding, if the Cao family is really brought up, whoever is guilty and who is not guilty, it is not him Zhao Zilong who has the final say!
If we really want to strictly enforce the law, more than half of the people in the Cao family will die today.

But when Chen Deng opened his mouth, it was obvious that Zhao Yun wasn't treated as well. Lin Chaowen didn't even ask, and just glanced at him coldly.

"Yuanlong, are you asking someone to violate the imperial court's decree?"

After saying this, Lin Chao walked back to the main seat without even looking at him, and sat down.

In the field, only Chen Deng, who was full of embarrassment, and Cao Bao, who was terrified.

The two looked at each other, and there was a flash of understanding in their eyes.

Understood,
Totally understand!
Lin Zichu never planned to let Cao Shi go,
Not only money and food, but also killing people and killing hearts!

Of course, Lin Chao would not directly exterminate the Cao family.

Killing half and keeping half is a deterrent, but it will not make the remaining Xuzhou family determined to fight against Liu Bei.

Thinking of this, Chen Deng couldn't help but glanced at the expressionless Lin Chao on the main seat.

Even though it was midsummer in May, he also felt chills all over.

Lin Zichu's methods... are truly terrifying!
Not only he and Cao Bao could see it clearly, but also all the Xuzhou aristocratic families reflected it. They were all silent, looking at Lin Chao with fear and fear.

From this meeting up to now, Lin Chao has not announced any decision to everyone, but let everyone understand his intention, which is not unreasonable.

After a while, all the members of the Cao clan were escorted up by Zhao Yun and knelt on the street in front of the gate of the government office.

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said loudly: "Report to the supervisor, the Cao family has 730 and two members, and they have all been brought here."

Lin Chao glanced at it casually, but found no women among them, apparently women were not included.

Looking into the eyes of these people, Lin Chao could see hatred, despair, sadness, begging...

All kinds of negative emotions in the world are fully displayed at this moment.

Lin Chao doesn't like killing people, or even hates killing people, but there are some things that have to be done, and some people have to be killed.

Moreover, you can't show any hesitation now, otherwise it won't be enough to deter Xuzhou's clan.

Sighing lightly, Lin Chao said, "Zilong, select those who have resisted our army's soldiers, and those who are under eight years old will be pardoned, and the rest... will be punished in the street."

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "Wei!"

"Chang Shi, don't!"

Seeing that the whole family of the Cao family was pulled over like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, Cao Bao couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried.

"Chang Shi, it was at a certain time that he was obsessed with ghosts and was so bold that he offended the imperial army. Please ask Chang Shi to kill a certain person and forgive the clansmen. They are all innocent!"

When a bird is about to die, its song also mourns.

When a person is about to die, his words are also good.

Cao Bao may not be a good person, but at the critical moment of life and death, he is willing to sacrifice himself alone, but also to protect the whole family.

Unfortunately, Lin Chao didn't want to look at him at all.

Over there, Zhao Yun began to identify the criminals.In just one stick of incense, Zhao Yun selected more than 700 people out of more than 240 people.

Zhao Yun clasped his fists again and said: "Supervisor, all criminals have been identified!"

"Then let's execute."

Lin Chao said calmly.

"Chang Shi, please bypass my Cao family this time! I am willing to be an ox and a horse to repay Chang Shi's great kindness..."

In the arena, Cao Bao kept begging for mercy, his forehead had already been smashed, and blood flowed down the carpet to Lin Chao's feet.

At this moment, Cao Bao's spirit was already in a trance, and he didn't know what to do other than kowtow.

Hearing Lin Chao's order, Zhao Yun nodded, raised one hand in the air, and waved it vigorously.

"Execution!"

The butcher knife was raised, and the head fell to the ground.

The gushing blood stained the street in front of the Zhisuo, soaked the blankets under the feet of the Xuzhou family, and finally stained their bodies a little.

Seeing this scene, Cao Bao seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he no longer kowtowed to beg for mercy. He was half lying on the ground, staring blankly at the heads of his clansmen rolling to the ground.

Next to him, the members of the Cao clan who managed to escape with their lives also went limp and collapsed on the ground.

There is great terror between life and death, and there are very few people in the world who can withstand it.

After finishing all this, Zhao Yun spoke again: "The supervisor, there is another criminal who has not been executed yet."

"Who is it?" Lin Chao asked.

Zhao Yun raised his hand and pointed at the field, and the target was Cao Bao.

Lin Chao sighed and said: "Cao Sima was only confused for a while, and it caused such a tragedy. I feel very sorry for him. However, the court's decree is like this, so I can't do anything. Cao Sima, let's go, your wife will raise him, you have nothing to worry about. "

At this time, Lin Chao's face was completely exposed.

The righteousness that was full of righteousness before has all turned into a sharp weapon for killing at this moment.

Zhao Yun obeyed the order, stepped forward and picked up Cao Bao, who was in a daze, and dragged him all the way to the execution ground, where soldiers were waiting for him with knives.

With one blow, Cao Bao, the head of the Cao family in Xiapi, died.

Lin Chao raised his head and looked left and right at the faces of the Xuzhou family. They were so ugly, and there was a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox.

There is fear, there is awe, there is sadness, but nothing but hatred.

In other words, what Lin Chao did this time was not enough to make them hate him.

Lin Chao nodded, with a satisfied look on his face.

Now, you don't have to worry about a backyard fire.

The appetizers are over, it's time to talk about business.

As soon as Lin Chao waved his hand, Zhao Yun immediately ordered the soldiers to clean up the blood and clean up the corpses.

At the same time, the delicacies that had been prepared for a long time were also brought up, which was regarded as the official opening.

But just after a massacre, the Xuzhou aristocratic family had no appetite, and all looked at Lin Chao, waiting for his next decision.

Looking at Lin Chao again, a spring-like smile appeared on his face again, and he said, "Everyone, a certain person has just said that Lord Xuande will raise troops to hunt down the thieves in a few days. I only hate the lack of food and grass in the army, so I specially ordered a certain person to invite you Come, just to solve the matter of food and grass."

Well, after all, Lin Zichu still wanted money and food.

The reason why more than [-] members of the Cao family were killed first was to make an example to the monkeys and stabilize the rear before going out.

There has never been a fool in the aristocratic family. If you still don't understand Lin Chao's purpose by this time, you will really read the dog's belly full of poems and books.

All the aristocratic families looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one was willing to be the leader.

Fortunately, Lin Chao didn't intend to ask them to guess the riddle, and directly revealed his plan.

"Don't worry, everyone, the state government will issue an IOU to borrow food from you this time, and it will be returned to you after the next year's harvest."

Speaking of this, Lin Chao changed the subject and put pressure on him: "Tie Dong is in chaos in the sea, and people and gods are all angry. You have received the kindness of the country, and now is the time to repay it."

Lend me money and food, everyone is loyal to the Han family.

If you don't borrow it, I'm afraid everyone here will find out a few more Dong thief remnants.

At this time, Mi Zhu, who was in charge of Xuzhou's governance and concurrently the uncle of Liu Bei, stood up first, and said with cupped hands: "Changshi's words are very true. It is urgent to ask for Dong. My family, Mi, is willing to donate [-] stones of grain and grass to Duke Xuande." , to help the military!"

On the other side, Zhen Yao was not to be outdone, and after taking a look at Mi Zhu, he stood up and said loudly: "Mr. Zhen is also willing to donate [-] stones of grain and grass to Duke Xuande. It will be used to beg for thieves!"

With the two babysitters in place and off to a good start, the rest is easy.

Chen Deng thought about it again and again, and finally stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Xiapi Chen, is willing to donate [-] stones of food and grass to help Xuande Gong march into the army to hunt down the thieves!"

The Zhen family and the Mi family have long been deeply bound together with Liu Bei, and they both prosper and lose together.Therefore, Lin Chao can ask for their things for nothing.

But Chen Deng is still a Hanchen in name, and the position of Dongyang county magistrate was not promoted by Liu Bei, and Lin Chao didn't want to take his things for nothing.

Lin Chao sternly said: "Yuanlong's words are wrong. Someone said that this time he borrowed grain, and he will make an IOU and pay it back in the next year. As a state shepherd, he is not a bandit road tyrant. How could he take you all for nothing?" money and food?"

"Chang Shi is right, it's because his subordinates are stupid."

Seeing that Lin Chao wanted to set up a memorial archway after killing people, Chen Deng quickly agreed.

Anyway, he didn't expect to be able to come back, so Lin Zichu could say whatever he wanted.

With the two nurses and Chen Deng taking the lead, and seeing Lin Chao's categorical statement that it was borrowing grain, and promising to stamp the government's official seal on the IOU, the Xuzhou family also expressed their willingness to donate grain and grass.

Lin Chao struck while the iron was hot, and made a wave of acts of kindness.

He promised everyone that if this battle is won, you will all be heroes, and he will ask Liu Bei to ask the court for the title of Marquis of Guannei as the person who borrowed a lot of food.

Lin Chao was very generous to this kind of noble title, which was only one or two hundred households, had no fiefdom, and could not be hereditary.

Don't say ten or eight, even thirty or fifty, there is no pressure.

But the Xuzhou aristocratic family is different, they are not short of money, what they long for is status and fame.

A title of Marquis of Guannei is enough for them to devote half of their family resources to fight for it.

After Lin Chao took out this big killer, all the Xuzhou aristocratic families completely chose to obey.

Liu Xuande's willingness to confer titles must be due to our aristocratic family.

With this idea, a happy situation was immediately created.

As for the undried blood on the ground and Cao's head that just rolled down, the Xuzhou family chose to turn a blind eye.

Nearly half of the Cao family was slaughtered, isn't it their own fault?
Yes, it must be so.
