Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator.

This was not just executing the main culprit, but also slaughtering all three of their familial lines, and implicating all nine clans.

Exterminating three familial lines was not unfamiliar to the Great Han Dynasty.

Li Si and Han Xin had both suffered the extermination of their three familial lines, but nine clans… that was a new term.

And what was the concept of nine clans?

It seemed that anyone with even the slightest blood relation to the main culprit would be completely eradicated.

“This…”

After a long silence, Xu Shu opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to refute that this action was too cruel.

But the words rushed to his lips, only to be swallowed back down.

Why exterminate three clans and implicate nine?

Wasn't it to prevent the common people from suffering disaster?

And how could it not be considered benevolence to go to such lengths for the sake of the people?

Therefore, Xu Shu actually came to a conclusion: Because of benevolence, their nine clans must be exterminated?

For a moment, even with Xu Shu's intelligence, he felt his head was like a paste, not knowing how to speak.

“What do you all think of Zikun's suggestion?”

Liu Bei's opening seemed to be asking everyone to analyze the pros and cons, but in reality, his expression and tone clearly showed his inclination, just short of directly asking: Who agrees? Who opposes?

Everyone was silent for a while.

While Xu Shu was still weighing the pros and cons for Liu Bei, Chen Gui, who looked old and frail, slowly walked out, his hunched back subtly straightening.

Instantly, Chen Gui attracted everyone's attention, waiting for Chen Gui's profound opinion.

The next moment, Chen Gui cupped his hands, and his somewhat hoarse and deep voice shouted.

“What the Marquis said is very reasonable, I am so bold as to think it can be tried.”

Xu Shu, who was still young and upright, was stunned, never expecting that Chen Gui, who enjoyed a high reputation in Xuzhou, would "betray" so quickly.

And with Chen Gui's opening, the rest of the people woke up one after another.

If the lord insisted on his own way, they could still try to persuade him.

But if the lord's idea had already been supported by the Marquis of the State, then jumping out in opposition would be unwise.

“Indeed, it is reasonable.”

“This move seems radical, but in fact, it is wholeheartedly for the country and the people, and it is not a bad strategy!”

“Once the Proclamation for the Protection of the People is issued, the people will surely recite the lord's name of benevolence at all times, and gather the hearts of the people of the world in one body.”

…

For a time, the voices of support and approval were endless, making Xu Shu, who had concerns in his heart, speechless even if he wanted to object.

Moreover, Xu Shu also had to admit that this unprecedented 《Proclamation for the Protection of the People》 would certainly give the people who were suffering from the troubled times a few more hopes of survival.

‘But in this way, I don’t know how many people will be hostile and secretly hate the lord. If we want to help the Han Dynasty and revive the Great Han, we will inevitably add many obstacles.’

Xu Shu looked at Liu Bei, who had already started writing the 《Proclamation for the Protection of the People》 at his desk, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

At least, once this 《Proclamation for the Protection of the People》 is issued, the feudal lords and families, headed by Cao Cao, will certainly not dare to surrender, and there is only one way to fight to the death.

In addition, many aristocratic families and powerful people are also harming the people and annexing land. Those aristocratic families and powerful people, under the guilty conscience of being thieves, also dare not easily submit.

Suddenly, Xu Shu woke up and slowly widened his eyes, muttering.

“Are the lord and the teacher trying to fight the world alone, taking the opportunity to remove all the stubborn diseases for the Great Han, in order to achieve great governance after great chaos?”

With this thought, Xu Shu's eyes gradually became firm.

“Yuanzhi!”

“Here.”

Liu Bei, who had been working at his desk for a long time, personally wrote a 《Proclamation for the Protection of the People》 and ordered Xu Shu.

“Widely distribute it to the counties and counties of the world, so that the world may know it.”

“Yes!”

Xu Shu stepped forward quickly and respectfully took it with both hands.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei, who got up, set his eyes on Cheng Yu and said coldly.

“This proclamation will be sacrificed with the blood of you, the wicked official, and your three clans will surely follow closely behind in the near future, so that you will not be lonely under the Nine Springs.”

“Drag him down, paste the 《Proclamation for the Protection of the People》 on his body, parade him through the streets for a day, and then cut him into pieces, and then let the wild dogs eat him.”

For a time, this 《Proclamation for the Protection of the People》, stained red with Cheng Yu's blood, quickly spread to the entire Great Han, centered on Xiapi City.

In this 《Proclamation for the Protection of the People》, Liu Bei enumerated the crimes of Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu, and lamented Cao Cao's massacre of the city and the evil of digging up the Yellow River, stating that Liu Bei would never coexist with those who harmed the people, and vowed to exterminate their three clans.

Moreover, those who repeatedly committed evil deeds like Cao Cao would be superimposed on the basis of the three clans, and even exterminate the nine or ten clans.

It can be said that wherever the 《Proclamation for the Protection of the People》 passed, the world was amazed and shocked.

They were both shocked by Cao Cao's digging up of the Yellow River, and even more amazed by Liu Bei's determination.

Many aristocratic families and powerful people regarded it with both shock and fear; many common people were grateful to Liu Bei and deeply moved.

…

Soon, this proclamation was sent to Cao Cao's camp on the south bank of the Jizhou Boundary Bridge.

As the 《Proclamation for the Protection of the People》 spread within Cao Cao's army, the entire Cao army was in panic and anxiety.

Counting down, most of Cao's army had participated in looting and massacre under Cao Cao's orders and indulgence.

If they were captured by Liu Bei, who was now rising in fame, it would be the consequence of implicating the three clans.

In this era that particularly valued filial piety and offspring, this implication of the three clans was enough to make any desperado hesitate.

And when this proclamation, which was just short of pointing at Cao Cao's nose and scolding him, was sent to Cao Cao's desk, the civil and military officials below were all frightened and trembling, waiting for Cao Cao's thunderous rage.

Cao Cao looked at the 《Proclamation for the Protection of the People》, and his face was also constantly and violently changing.

It can be said that with the appearance of the 《Proclamation for the Protection of the People》, Cao Cao's notoriety will instantly spread throughout the entire Great Han, and he will be completely spurned by the world, and even be infamous for ten thousand years.

Moreover, if Cao Cao loses, I am afraid that the Cao and Xiahou families will all be implicated and wiped out, and there will be no trace of Cao Cao's bloodline that can continue in the world.

Just when the atmosphere in the central army tent was as heavy and urgent as before the storm.

Cao Cao slammed the 《Proclamation for the Protection of the People》 in his hand on the desk and laughed.

“A ha ha ha, I didn’t expect that Liu Daer, who came from weaving mats and selling shoes, could still have such literary talent, and every word is heart-wrenching, and it is also a great power. Could it be that Cao Mou is regarded as fish and meat to be slaughtered?”

Cao Cao's reaction, which was different from what everyone had expected, stunned the civil and military officials in the tent for a moment.

And Cao Cao took in everyone's expressions and said with a confident and calm face.

“Are you all worried about this proclamation?”

No one answered Cao Cao, but isn't this also a kind of answer.

Implicating the three clans is not the treatment that ordinary people can enjoy, nor is it the treatment that ordinary people can accept.

There are various reasons for following Cao Cao, but who can completely ignore the infamy and the consequences of being implicated in the three clans?

Cao Cao then laughed and said.

“Who will win is still unknown.”

“And that Liu Daer calls himself benevolent and slanders us as cruel Han thieves, which is extremely ridiculous.”

“If I lose to Yuan Shao, what does it matter if I bear the name of a Han thief and die here?”

“But when we unify Hebei and go south to the Central Plains to compete with Liu Daer, who is the thief?”
