Han Shimou

~ri period:~monthri~

, nbsp; A very talented son of the Cao family, he thinks he has some talent and knowledge, and he is a member of the Cao family. In addition, Cao Cao likes him a lot, and he usually behaves wildly and defiantly.One day, this descendant of the Cao family was invited by a distant relative of a prince of the Han Dynasty to visit his mansion.During the banquet, the master of the palace saw that it was boring, so he asked his concubine to lead a few maids to dance to help the banquet.Unexpectedly, that Cao's son was so drunk that he became possessive of the palace master's concubine.And that Cao's son was born with delicate features, red lips and white teeth, quite handsome.The Cao family's children had greedy eyes, wantonly exploring the mansion lord's concubine who was flaunting her charm.It seems that the palace lord's concubine is also interested in this Cao's son, flirting with him is no problem.

Afterwards, the relationship between the two became more and more out of control, the sky thunder set off the fire, and the two had a tryst in secret, doing some shameless deeds.But the good times didn't last long, and the fire couldn't be covered with paper, and the two were finally discovered.The palace master was furious about this, and executed his concubine according to family law, and then told his distant relatives about the matter, begging them to make the decision for him.The distant relatives of the palace master naturally found his relative, the Prince of Han.And that Cao family member knew that he had committed a catastrophe, so he quickly asked the elders of the clan to exonerate him.Later, the incident became more and more troublesome, and not long after, everyone in Luoyang City, from the Han royal family to the common people in the city, knew about it.In order to silence Youyou's mouth, Cao Cao finally had to come forward to deal with it.

And Cao Caogui was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty court was almost manipulated by him, and Cao Cao had always loved that Cao's son very much, and many people thought that Cao Cao would definitely protect this person.After all, if Cao Cao dealt with it fairly, that Cao family member would surely die.For the royal family, it was nothing more than an estranged relative's embarrassment.As long as Cao Cao made some compensation to him, gave him some gold and silk, or gave him official fame and fortune, the matter would be nothing.

However, it was unexpected that Cao Cao not only failed to protect the Cao son, but dealt with him severely without showing any mercy.According to the law, Cao Cao first sentenced him to castration, and then he was outside the city, under the eyes of countless officials and common people, he was divided into five horses.After his death, his body shall not be buried.

It can be said that the son of the Cao family died in an extremely miserable manner.And because he has the identity of the Cao family, the people who watched the execution field that day were almost full of Luoyang city gates. After that, the children of the Cao family no longer dared to be reckless, and their arrogance has been restrained a lot.As for the members of the royal family, they didn't feel that Cao Cao's treatment was enough to save face, but they felt uneasy, fearing that Cao Cao would settle accounts later in the fall, and Riri would be walking on thin ice.

Later, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty comforted Cao Cao many times especially for this matter.However, Cao Cao didn't seem to take this matter seriously. Instead, he confessed his mistake to Han Xiandi for his indulgence of the Cao family's children, and admitted that his jurisdiction was ineffective.When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty saw Cao Cao, he was not like Dong Zhuo, Li Cui, and Guo Si, who ignored the authority of the royal family. He was secretly delighted, and he trusted Cao Cao even more.

Cao Cao's handling of this matter in this way is actually sending a signal to his subordinates and the people of the world.In his eyes, Cao Cao puts the law first, and if it breaks the law, no matter who it is, Cao Cao will definitely deal with it with strict law and justice!

Cao Cao ruled by strict laws, and even stricter laws, so his generals and advisers rarely act presumptuously, and his army also strictly obeys orders, everything is orderly, and they follow the laws.

Of course, Cao Cao ruled by strict laws, not blindly.For example, when Cao Cao sent troops to attack Yuan Shu, he saw that the wheat was already ripe on the second march.The people in the vicinity fled because of the advance of the army and did not dare to mow wheat.Seeing this, Cao Cao sent people from far and near to tell the elders of the village and the officials guarding the border everywhere.

Order ri.

"I obeyed the emperor's decree to send troops to fight against rebellion and eliminate harm from the people. Now when the wheat is ripe, I have to raise troops. Generals and schools, whoever crosses the wheat field and tramples on it, will be beheaded. The military law is very strict. No need to be surprised."

The king regards the people as the sky.The people regard food as their heaven.

When the people heard the decree, they all rejoiced and praised it, and worshiped with the dust covering their way.When the officers and soldiers passed through the wheat fields, they all got off their horses, held the wheat with their hands, and passed it one by one, without daring to trample on it.

Soldiers and horses can use food to fight against the enemy, and the food comes from the hands of the people, and the people use food for food.Cao Cao is like this, not only won the reputation of the people, but also his soldiers are not convinced by him, willing to fight and fight under his command.

Later, Cao Cao was riding his horse, when suddenly a large dove was startled in the field.Cao Cao's horses were frightened and ran into the wheat, destroying a large piece of wheat field.The accompanying soldiers were all shocked when they saw this.Cao Cao was not in a hurry, his face was serious, and he followed the call to the commander of the army, trampling the wheat fields for others, why did he suffer?

After hearing this, the commander of the army turned pale in shock, and quickly knelt down and said.

"The prime minister is an important minister of the country. It is for the benefit of the people to conquer traitors and quell disasters for the country. Now that the horses are frightened, how can it be considered a crime?"

Cao Cao's face was determined, and he secretly saw many people watching timidly from a distance, Cao Cao suddenly focused his eyes and shouted loudly.

"Presumptuous! I self-made the law, but I violated it myself. If I don't obey the law, how can I obey the people?"

After Cao Cao said that, he drew out the Yitian sword from his waist, wanting to kill himself on the spot.Seeing that Cao Cao cut Jin's own neck, the people in the distance panicked and turned pale. They all exclaimed and urged the prime minister to stop.Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were beside Cao Cao, had already been prepared and rushed to rescue him. Dian Wei snatched Cao Cao's sword.Guo Jia, who was behind Cao Cao, quickly got off his horse and went to pay his respects.

"The righteousness of the ancients, if the law is not imposed on the prime minister's army, how can he kill himself? What's more, the rebels have not been punished, the world's princes are divided, and when the Han Dynasty needs a prime minister, how can the prime minister ignore the world's justice because of one law? danger!"

As soon as Guo Jia's words fell, all the generals and soldiers behind the army knelt down to persuade, and the people in the distance also came to kneel and persuade.

Cao Cao pondered for a long time before speaking.

"Since there is the righteousness that the law does not impose respect, and the words of the military teacher are reasonable, the Han Dynasty still needs the meager body of the prime minister, so I will not die for the time being."

Cao Cao then borrowed Guo Jia's words to gently put aside the death penalty.Afterwards, Cao Cao grabbed a lock of hair on his head, suddenly swung his sword to cut it, cut his own hair with the sword and threw it to the ground and shouted.

"However, the decree must be followed. I will cut off the power to act as the head, to show the power of the law!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he sent someone to tell the three armies.All the orderly soldiers held their hair high, rode their horses, and shouted.

"Prime Minister Jianmai should have ordered beheading, but now cut hair instead."

Cao Cao cut off his hair to act as the head of the army, so the three armies were terrified, and they all obeyed the military order.Later, the matter was passed on by word of mouth among the people, and all those who heard it praised Cao Cao for his strict laws.

As for Chen Deng's matter, although it was a serious crime of disobedience, it would be difficult to see that Chen Deng let Liu Bei go without permission without someone with a close eye.After all, Chen Deng planned to kill thousands of Liu Bei's soldiers. As for why Chen Deng didn't send troops to chase Liu Bei later, he could easily evade it with a little excuse.Of course, these excuses can deceive soldiers.It is absolutely impossible to deceive a veteran general like Cao Chun, let alone deceive Cao Cao.However, Cao Cao did not pursue this matter, so there is no law to speak of.And Cao Cao also secretly ordered that Cao Chun and other officers and men should not mention the matter of Chen Deng too much, as it meant to expose the matter.

Digression, let's stop here for the time being.

After Cao Chun finished speaking with the Cao general, Zhengyu walked away, but Cao Chun didn't take a few steps, as if thinking of something, he turned around and told the Cao general coldly.

"That's right. My lord ordered you not to mention Chen Yuanlong's matter. You'd better keep your mouth shut, and don't let the trouble come out of your mouth, otherwise even I won't be able to protect you!"

The general of the Cao family shivered suddenly, suddenly felt cold all over, and quickly cupped his hands in thanks.

"General Xie reminded me that the villain will never bring up this matter again in the future."

At the same time, in the main hall of Guangling County in Xuzhou.

Cao Cao sat on the top of the main hall, Guo Jia stood beside him, and Chen Deng knelt down in the middle of the main hall, practicing etiquette and speaking.

"My lord, if Deng's guess is correct □ Xuande must have led the army to retreat to Longquan County → Although Quan County is desolate and uninhabited, the terrain around it is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. So Deng thinks that Liu Xuande will most likely hide in Longquan County this."

"Oh? Longquan County? Prime Minister Ben has heard a little bit about this place. The place is surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is rough and bumpy. It is difficult for an army to advance and retreat. I don't know if Yuanlong has a plan to help Prime Minister destroy the big-eared thief?"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly, and Chen Deng called him his lord, which meant that he had already surrendered.In order to win Chen Deng's loyalty, Cao Cao spent a lot of money. It is absolutely impossible for Cao Cao to say that he has no complaints about Chen Deng letting Liu Bei go.But because Cao Cao loved Chen Dengzhi's talent, he turned his eyes to this matter and turned his eyes to it. Later, he did not hesitate to hand over the land of a state to him.Such a heroic nature and magnanimous spirit indeed conquered Chen Deng.

And Chen Deng is also a person who understands current affairs. Cao Cao treated him like this, and he also secretly swore that he would do his best for him and die.As a super-conspirator, Chen Deng has long practiced the ability to control his emotions.Chen Deng cut off his love for Liu Bei. After all, he let Liu Bei live, he had fulfilled his heart, and cleared his guilt≡ After that, he and Liu Bei only had an incompatible enemy relationship.

Chen Deng pondered for a while, thinking about it, and then he clasped his hands and said.

"The terrain of Longquan County is steep. If you attack with a large army, the number of people will be large and chaotic, and it will cause many unnecessary casualties. My lord, if you want to attack Longquan, you must attack the heart first!"

"Attack the heart? Yuanlong has a clever plan, tell me quickly."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up suddenly, as if lighting up the whole hall.Chen Deng nodded slightly, and continued.

"My lord, you can send [-] troops to surround Longquan County with all the surrounding mountains, cut off its food supply, and lead to all the water sources in the city → the four wastelands in Quan County can only get food from other places, so there is little food storage. In Longquan County, most of the residents are natives and aliens, and people who are not of our race will have different hearts. As long as the food and water in Longquan County are cut off within half a month, these natives and aliens will definitely rebel. In addition, there is no food and water in the city, and the people in the city will be in chaos. The soldiers under Ear Thief's command will definitely be panicked, and over time, their morale will be low, and their soldiers will not be willing to fight. At that time, my lord will secretly recruit these natives and aliens and let them serve as internal support. In this way, Big Ear Thief will undoubtedly die!"

"Hahaha! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!! Yuanlong is resourceful and resourceful, and I need your help to add wings to a tiger! The big-eared thief really digs his own grave this time!"

Cao Cao laughed overjoyed and said again and again that Chen Deng's plan was really vicious. As he planned, Longquan County would be surrounded by mountains all around Cao's soldiers, and at the moment of the decisive battle, Liu Bei's soldiers' morale was extremely low and they had no intention of fighting , and was turned over by the local people in the city, etc., there is no reason to survive, unless Liu Bei is really blessed by God, maybe it is possible to escape.

"Hey... Liu Xuande, don't blame me, I've let you live. But you didn't know what to do, and even placed soldiers and horses in Longquan County. Don't you have a single adviser who can reach the hall!"

Chen Deng silently sighed in his heart, with Chen Deng's wisdom, although he had no news about Liu Bei, but when he saw the direction of Liu Bei's retreat and analyzed it, he immediately guessed that most of Liu Bei would go to Longquan County .
