Chapter 52 Good News!

In Xihe County, everything has been implemented in an orderly manner since Cao Cao made up his plan.

In the prefect's mansion, Cao Cao found the heads of several families with good reputations.

"Everyone, I, Cao Cao, was just the prefect of Xihe. The son of the Wang family violated the laws of the country. I want to behead the soldiers according to the law. I don't know what your colleagues think?" Cao Cao sat upright, looking seriously at the heads of the family.

Several Patriarchs looked at each other in blank dismay, we have already heard about this matter, but you summoned us here and asked us what we think, so you give us a blow?Could it be because we are usually kind and want to use us to seize power?

A very upright patriarch cupped his hands and said: "My lord, that boy of the Wang family has done a lot of evil on weekdays and made the people suffer unspeakably. Although I have a heart, I am powerless! Now that my lord is eliminating harm for the people, I am willing to support you!"

"He really deserves to be killed!"

"Your Excellency eliminates harm for the people, I am all in admiration!"

The several patriarchs were quite honest, and they couldn't see Wang Ba's daily behavior. Although they didn't know why Cao Cao asked the question, they still told the truth.

"Well, do you guys know why I have to kill him?" Cao Cao said with a smile.

All the officials were stunned, all indifferent.

Seeing that they were silent, Cao Cao smiled and said: "I am the prefect appointed by His Majesty himself. I represent His Majesty in every word and deed. Everything I do is related to His Majesty's will. I want to kill Wang Ba for the sake of Seize power, do you understand?"

"I have said a few days ago that you need to be familiar with public affairs, but you all use a bunch of fake account books to fool me! Especially Wang Tian, ​​who is in charge of the army, but I don't see a soldier in Xihe! It costs tens of thousands every year. Shi Liangcao! That's why I want to take him under the knife!" Cao Cao said with a cold look.

The hearts of all the officials were chilled, and they secretly thought that they were going to seize power!
"But my lords, you are different from them. I have investigated and found that your reputation in Xihe is not bad. It is helpless to be with them, right? Your majesty is a wise king in the world. Although the dragon is trapped in the shallows for the time being, your majesty has issued a call for thieves. Next year three The moon will counterattack Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo, how can he defeat the princes of the world? At that time, His Majesty will become a generation of heroes comparable to Gaozu, Guangwu! And this Bingzhou will also become the land of Longxing for His Majesty! Do you understand this? What do you mean?" Cao Cao said with a smile.

All the officials were overjoyed when they heard the words. As long as we support His Majesty, even if we are ministers of the dragon, there is still a chance for the family to grow?

Cao Cao carefully observed their faces, and seeing the happy faces of all the officials, he laughed: "Understood? As long as you support me to control Xihe, Your Majesty will rejuvenate the big man in the future. Your family will also rise with the tide!"

"We are willing to help your lord take over the power of Xihe!" A group of officials bowed their hands and bowed down.

"Haha, okay, in this way, you will be your majesty's heroes in the future! But there is one thing, I want to make three chapters with you. I don't care about what you have done before, and I don't want to care about it. But from now on, everything Act in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty. If anyone dares to violate the laws of the Han Dynasty, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice with a look on his face.

"Don't worry, my lord! We shall abide by the laws of the Great Han!" The heads of the several aristocratic families trembled, but compared with the huge temptation, this small matter can be done, and they agreed immediately.

"So, we will be colleagues from now on, come, drink, drink!" Cao Cao raised his glass and laughed.
…………

After Cao Cao received the support of Xihe Xiaoban's family, he immediately summoned the people to read out Wang Ba's crimes and beheaded Wang Ba in the disturbance, which shocked the people's hearts for a while.

On the other hand, after Cao Cao beheaded Wang Ba, he ordered Gao Jian to send several bamboo slips describing the family's crimes to each family.

The end of the Wang family immediately terrified the family, for fear that Cao Cao would do something to them.

And Cao Cao immediately began to suppress the family and seize power.But all the aristocratic families had to delegate power and let Cao Cao seize power.Only half a month later, all the aristocratic families were in Xihe, and all their political power was seized by Cao Cao, so they had to give up their political power.

After Cao Cao gained power in Xihe, he immediately wrote to Liu Bian, asking about his next plan.

In Shangdang County, the land has almost been reclaimed, and the grain has been sown.In this way, the soldiers are much more relaxed in an instant, and the fields only need to be managed occasionally.

After receiving Cao Cao's letter, Liu Bian immediately summoned a group of ministers to discuss matters in the hall.

Liu Bian Dama Jindao sat on the main seat, and on both sides of His Highness, Ding Guan Caiyi on one side, Wei Xiaokuan and others sat in turn.On the other side, Lu Zhi, Li Xianzhong, Yang Zaixing, Yang Yansi, Lin Renzhao and others will stand majestically.

"Everyone, there is a good news from Meng De, saying that he has captured Xihe and has taken over the military and political power!" Liu Bian raised his eyebrows.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Cao Mengde won Xihe, His Majesty is even more powerful!" Lu Zhi said happily upon hearing this.

"Although Xihe was taken down, Xihe County has been in the hands of the aristocratic family for a long time. Now in the treasury of Xihe, the food and grass are only [-] yuan, and the money is only a few thousand gold! Even the soldiers are almost zero. Endless!"

"It will take at least two years to manage it if you want to make a profit. But as long as there is land, the people will develop sooner or later!"

"Your Majesty, it is impossible to take Xihe now, but there are no soldiers stationed in Xihe. Please also restore the army of Xihe. Cao Mengde can't support him alone. He wants to restore the people's livelihood in Xihe and manage the army. General, rush to Xihe, expand the army, and guard Xihe!" Shangshu Dingguan came out and said.

"Well, that's right. Before Xihe was managed by soldiers from the aristocratic family to maintain law and order. But now that Xihe is in my hands, this is not possible. However, Xihe is poor, and most of the money, food, and grass are in the hands of the aristocratic family, so they cannot support too many troops. How about this? , it is better to use 1 people, so that Xihe can be defended without any burden!" Liu Bian thought for a while.

"I think 1 people is suitable, but I don't know who His Majesty will send to rule the army?" Lu Zhi asked, clasping his hands.

"I think Lin Renzhao can show his loyalty!"

During this time, when Liu Bian promoted Lin Renzhao, the generals had some criticisms, but Lin Renzhao lived up to Liu Bian's expectations.In just a short period of time, the training of soldiers was very impressive, and the martial arts they displayed were also extraordinary, not weaker than Li Xianzhong, which attracted Lu Zhi to look at him with admiration.

The military is different from child's play. Lu Zhi will recommend whoever has the ability!The military generals who came with Liu Bian in the imperial court, Lu Zhi knew that they were not capable, so he recommended Li Xianzhong and Lin Renzhao.

"Well, Xianzhong still wants to assist Duke Lu in governing the army, let Ren Zhao go! Lin Ren Zhao, I order you to go to Xihe today, recruit [-] troops, and station in Xihe. Besides, Cao Mengde is very capable, can you listen to his advice? "

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, the last general will live up to your Majesty's entrustment!" Lin Renzhao bowed his hands and accepted the order, with a look of emotion on his face.

"Report, Your Majesty, there are two people outside the palace claiming to be brothers of Mr. Cao's family, and they come to join His Majesty!" Suddenly, a soldier from the main hall entered the hall to send a message.

"Lord Cao? Meng De's younger brother? Hurry up!" Liu Bian said happily when he heard the words.

"Last time I mentioned to Meng De that he asked Xiahou's Cao brothers to come to help me. I didn't expect to come here now, but why are there only two?" Liu Bian frowned and thought.

 The story of the aristocratic family, the intrigue, is also meaningless.It hurts my brain to think about it, so I just took it away, let the princes start begging for Dong sooner
