Chapter 236 The Triumph Return to the Field
Runan County is big enough, and it is also a place for four battles, and there is no place to defend. If you want to conquer this place, you need a general to guard it.
Cao Cao hesitated between Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun for a moment, and only then chose Cao Ren.
Although this clan girl has a little bit of a tomboy, she is very delicate in her mind and is especially good at guarding. She is mainly young and prone to impulsiveness, but this problem is not big.
"Zi Xiao, you will lead the troops and conquer Runan County for me, can you?" Cao Cao immediately named him.
"I am willing to conquer Runan for the lord!" Cao Ren immediately patted his chest and agreed.
"Master, I can do it too..." Xiahou Dun also made a statement immediately.
"Son Xiaoyun, Wenyun and Wu, it's enough for her to have her place. If you send Yuan to go there, I'm afraid you will have to prepare three or four civil servants to assist you..." Cao Cao said helplessly. They are all his own people, so there is no need to be so polite.
"Meng De, I'm not that reckless lately!" Xiahou Dun complained directly. Didn't Cao Cao's words just say that she was reckless and could not stand alone?!
"Besides!" Cao Cao smiled and pointed at Wang Yong, "Aren't you about to get married?"
"This... state affairs are the most important, state affairs are the most important..." Xiahou Dun's momentum suddenly weakened when he heard this. There was no way, as agreed, there were about ten days left, which was the auspicious day. At that time, Wang Yong planned to marry all four of them in one breath. Yes, including Hua Tuo, he is not the irresponsible type.
Xiahou Dun was also worried that on the day of the wedding, Wang Yong and the three daughters would be tied up, but she would be excluded. She felt wronged when she thought about it. She was embarrassed to mention the matter of commanding the troops to fight.
"Good peace of mind, you will have the chance to perform in the future!" Cao Cao looked at her entangled look and stepped forward to comfort her.
The war here came to an end. Cao Ren led his troops south the next day, and the large army began to withdraw his troops and return north. About 30,000 Yellow Turban prisoners were as military farm soldiers, working part-time baggage soldiers, and followed Cao Ren south with supplies, and other supplies returned to Xuchang with the army.
In about two days, the large army returned to Xuchang, and the news that Cao Cao had defeated 200,000 Yellow Turban Thiefs quickly spread.
"The younger generation is terrifying, the younger generation is terrifying..." Lu Zhi followed Liu Xie and looked at the army returning in triumphantly at the gate of Xuchang's outer city that had just been built, and couldn't help but sigh.
If you look closely, you will find that the Guanzhong ministers following Liu Xie were directly missing by one quarter. In the past ten days, the Guanzhong ministers led by Fu Wan and others joined forces with Huangfu Song to submit a statement saying that Cao Cao had no king and had not passed the court's discussion, so he privately mobilized his army and was punished according to the law!
Liu Xie was not without the power of fighting. After all, Cao Cao had already brought all the troops out. The remaining imperial guards were in Xu Huang's hands. Xu Huang was Liu Xie's brother, and in addition, they all had some servants, so they could also get a three or five thousand servants.
It is only necessary to arrest Cao Cao's party and control Xuchang, then cut off Cao Cao's supplies, let them fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban thieves, and then come forward to gather the remaining troops. With the ability of Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, they quickly deal with the Yellow Turban thieves, and then use Yingchuan County as a base to expand, and even call on loyal ministers to come to Qinhuang. Your Majesty will definitely restore his true power. Naturally, these ministers will also rise with the flow, unlike now, and are completely like Cao Cao's subordinates.
Yes, the main reason for their rebellion is that they don’t want to have a very high official position, but they end up like Cao Cao’s subordinates. After all, it’s the desire for power at work!
However, just now, Xun You and Cheng Yu came forward and directly revealed that the person who reported the news in favor of bullying men and women in Xu County forcing them to buy and sell men and women in Xu County these days, even ignoring laws and regulations, forcibly purchasing land, and even taking advantage of the convenience of official positions to accept bribes and embezzle public funds (for recruiting troops).
When they came to their senses, the Imperial Guard had already dispatched and immediately arrested them. A large number of military weapons were found in their homes, and they were immediately given a charge of "rebellion".
That is, Liu Xie was kind and did not want to see them die because of this. She could see that these people had their own plans, but at least the slogans he had put forward were also for her considerations and could not let others down.
So each beat fifty boards, asked these ministers to hand over weapons and armor, return the occupied fields and commodities, and finally dismissed from office and investigated, which was the final judgment.
Xun You and Cheng Yu did not pursue each other continuously, and immediately stopped seeing this, but in this way, among the ministers who came from Guanzhong, one-quarter of the ministers were taken off their official hats and left Xudu in shame.
Even Huangfu Song had to blame him for his bones in the end. He was in his prime and had to leave the court. According to Xun You and Cheng Yu, or Cao Cao, she did not need to resign.
But Huangfu Song knew very well that such a big thing needed a person of weight to take responsibility! This person could not be Lu Zhi, who was Situ, so he could only be her as the Grand Marshal!
After this incident, these arrogances from the Guanzhong ministers were directly extinguished. At least for a long time, they should be obediently holding their tails together! Cao Cao was in the period of expansion, so he was not allowed to drag her down during this period!
"My dear Sikong, the general of the cyclist, Cao Cao, who followed the order to fight against the remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves, has won a great victory by the Ying River!" Cao Cao led a group of civil and military officials to the palace hall and reported the results of the battle in front of Liu Xie at the head of the head.
"Although the thieves were greatly defeated, the more than 100,000 captured people were hungry. However, the famine last year was famine and there was not much food. Although the weather was much better this year, it was also a period of disagreement. Not to mention, if these 100,000 people were left alone, it might change over time!" Cao Cao also mentioned the biggest problem now.
"What's the difficulty? Just kill me!" Prince Fu came forward to suggest that this guy actually escaped.
"Not appropriate!" Lu Zhi objected. She actually realized that Cao Cao had other plans and probably did not intend to kill these prisoners at all. He took a step back and said that since it all means that he was being held captive, not a rioter, it would be inappropriate to kill him!
"Indeed, these people are all the people of our Han Dynasty. They are just being swept by the thieves and have not followed the thief. If they are killed blindly, they will hurt the hearts of other people and thus reduce their loyalty to the Han Dynasty.
I think that if these prisoners make full use of the prisoners to farm in Xu County and several surrounding counties, they can make some things to do, and the other hand, they can use all the labor force and even grow some food, which can subsidize the needs of the military and civilians." Cao Cao suggested that after she revised Wang Yong's theory and then submitted a memorial.
Obviously, this has involved the revision of the "Han Law", and the entire court suddenly became in chaos. Some people agreed, some people opposed it, and those who agreed believed that they could try it, but those who disagreed were bringing out the "ancestral teachings".
"Okay! It's just a trial, it's harmless!" Liu Xie had to come forward and draw a conclusion on this matter.
