Chapter 125: The Civil and Military Affairs of Hebei

Yuan Shao's death could not cause any trouble, because Liu Xuan then ordered the killing of the entire Yuan Shao clan, and even the close relatives of the other branches did not escape. It can be said that the Yuan family's power in Hebei was uprooted. ""% Network

Almost at the same time as the imperial edict was issued, Lu Bu also reported the Nanyang battle to Liu Xuan. Most of Yuan Shu and his civil and military officials died in battle, and few of them escaped - it was not that they didn't want to escape, but that they couldn't escape.

Because Lu Bu started a massacre in Nanyang, the local family members were panicked and resisted the imperial army a lot. When facing this situation, Lu Bu also chose a very simple and crude method: he would deal with any uncooperating situation, as if he was a bandit who had entered the city.

On the memorial, Lu Bu did not hide anything. He told Liu Xuan in detail, including confiscating the wealth of those families of those big families, and there was a detailed list for Liu Xuan to watch.

These things were not something that Liu Xuan asked him to do, nor did he provide Lu Bu with any civil servants who would accompany the army. But don't forget what position Lu Bu originally did under Ding Yuan's tent, so these trivial things would not pose a problem for this world's number one general.

As for Yuan Shu's life or death and Yuan Shu's subordinates, Liu Xuan didn't care much. As for the civil and military officials under Yuan Shu, he only saw Ji Ling, but this guy didn't seem to be very lucky and was directly chopped by Lu Bu in front of the formation. The tragedy was tragedy. Lu Bu didn't know whether he had chopped Ji Ling in the chaos or when his subordinates reported him when he counted the results of the battle afterwards.

Yuan Shu's family was also killed like Yuan Shao's family. The charge was naturally accusation of rebellion. This was the charge that Yuan Shu himself took the initiative to send him. If he didn't make good use of it, wouldn't it waste Liu Xuan's arrangements in vain? So there was no need to ask for instructions on these things. Lu Bu was instructed before going to the war and did as he did.

The only accident was that not long after the clearance of Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong came to ask for a meeting. In view of their former colleagues, they asked Lu Bu and the court to make suggestions and exempt them from their original crimes.

Lu Bu did not dare to make decisions about this matter, so he asked Liu Xuan for instructions on the memorial. Liu Xuan didn't care and agreed casually.

Zhang Xiu is a talent at least, and his martial arts and command ability are not bad. What's more important is that this person knows how to obey his subordinates' opinions, which is a good habit for a general to command troops.

In addition, Zhang Xiu is not too old at present. If he is well trained, even if he cannot become a commander, he can become a general of the army. Now the territory of the court has expanded a lot. It is the time to use people, so people can certainly not let them go.

Reply to Lu Bu, he exempted Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong from the original crimes (mainly the crimes left by the time of Dong Zhuo), and at the same time he was protected as a lieutenant of the imperial guards, but his family must move into the capital and the court will make proper arrangements.

Even if this is the detention of hostages, Liu Xuan actually doesn't think much of this kind of behavior. If he wants to kill those two guys, he can kill them as much as he wants. However, if he doesn't ask for two hostages, Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong will probably not dare to join the court with confidence. Sometimes people's minds are so strange. If you are a little careful about such people, they will feel relieved. If you are not careful at all, you still have a very kind and caring attitude, and people probably suspect that you have had some bad intentions.

"By the way, Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law seems to be quite pretty..."

However, Liu Xuan just thought about it casually. He had no hobbies for this person, but he moved to Chang'an City to live. I wonder if he would fall into Cao Cao's hands in the end. In the Romance, he did not mention Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law in the end, but there are records in history that he was included in his house by Cao Cao.

Even if it really is, it's nothing. Moreover, the current situation is very different from that time. I guess Zhang Xiu wouldn't care. Instead, he felt that with Cao Cao, he would at least not have to worry about the emperor suddenly remembering what happened back then and then killing him.

Of course, no one knows what happened. Liu Xuan was curious and did not think deeply, but just continued to deal with the matter at hand.

The problem in Nanyang was solved. Yuan Shu's subordinates did not receive it, but they accepted Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong. Liu Xuan asked Lu Bu to ask if that guy Jia Xu is still with Zhang Xiu now?

Maybe Lu Bu wouldn't understand what it means, but Jia Xu is a smart person, and this person is extremely realistic. If he learned that the emperor was asking about him, he would definitely not miss such an opportunity to climb up, and maybe he would come to his door.

At that time, I had an extra counselor at hand. It was a bit of a headache if I just arranged for Jia Xu to go to. People like Jia Xu seemed to be fine in any department, but it was a bit inappropriate for any department to go to, and this matter was also a bit troublesome.

But he didn't need to consider these things at the moment. After dealing with the Yuan clan, Cao Cao quickly sorted out the list of prisoners and finally sent it to Liu Xuan.

"Military generals, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Lu Xiang, Lu Kuang, Chunyu Qiong, Zhu Ling, Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu... Among them, Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu have surrendered to the court, and I will arrange them into the imperial guards as lieutenants."

"Um!"

With their current status, it is normal to arrange an imperial guard captain, but there is nothing to say.

"Zhang He and Gao Lan seem to be a little loose, and the rest of them also mean to surrender!" Cao Cao was not just busy sorting out the list during these times, otherwise what time would he waste a list? He waved his hand and sent it to him.

What he was busy with was to sort out these people clearly, whether he was willing to surrender to the court? At least he had to have a guide first, otherwise the emperor would go to persuade the surrender to surrender and all of them would say that they would not surrender, which would damage the emperor's majesty in vain?

Nowadays, the people listed by Cao Cao are basically willing to surrender, and they have some ability. The rest of the people who are not mentioned are either dead in chaos, or Cao Cao doesn't like these people at all and is sent to them, or they are just some hard-working people - this group of people cannot meet the emperor, so there is no need to mention them.

"This is the best!" Liu Xuan sat there, Diao Chan was next to him, and then helped Liu Xuan pour wine into the bowl and feed him a fruit from time to time.

This scene had no effect on Cao Cao at all. He sat aside and looked at him without looking sideways, as if the flowers opposite him were extremely beautiful. He really achieved the highest level of turning a blind eye and not hearing.

"Where are those civil officials under Yuan Shao's tent?"

"This... Ju Su and Tian Feng still did not express their opinions. Instead, they asked me to worship Yuan Shao!"

Liu Xuan chuckled and guessed what the two guys were playing, but he didn't care and agreed casually: "Hasn't Yuan Shao's cemetery been selected? They were willing to worship themselves, but no one stopped him!"

Although Liu Xuan ordered the killing of Yuan Shao's whole family, he did not do anything particularly well. At least he did not make any moves of whipping the corpse for three days and then abandoning the corpse in the wilderness. Instead, Cao Cao was responsible for the burial matters - of course, the specifications of the fourth generation of three dukes or generals were impossible, it was just a very ordinary cemetery.

As for Ju Su and Tian Feng, the two of them who made such a request to Cao Cao, they were probably testing the emperor and trying to understand the general temperament of today's son.

If they were furious or furious, if they could survive, they would probably not serve the court again. But if they were very generous, then it can be speculated that the emperor was still quite kind... or the emperor was very smart and saw through their thoughts at once. But in this way, it would also prove that the emperor was capable and was a king worthy of assistance.

After Liu Xuan speculated, he knew that these two guys would be willing to serve the court after worshiping their former lords. However, he would not go to see these two people on purpose, and there would be no prejudice in appointment: if you two have the ability, you will be promoted, if you don’t have the ability, you will be punished if you make meritorious service and rewards.

The rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished, and no one can say anything.

"In addition, Chen Lin is willing to surrender to the court!"

"Chen Lin?"

Liu Xuan didn't have a deep impression of this person. In the Romance of Legend, he was the most outstanding person. Cao Cao was sweating profusely and even got scared of his headache. In addition, he was not sure what this person is good at and what ability he has.

But looking at Cao Cao's appearance, he seemed to admire Chen Lin quite a lot. He was probably a talented person. No matter what, I will talk about it after I accept it.

Although Cao Cao saw that the emperor seemed to care about Chen Lin, he felt that as long as the emperor had contact with Chen Lin for a while, he would definitely notice Chen Lin's talent, and that he would have achieved some reward.

In addition to these people, Cao Cao also learned some talents from Hebei from some locals or those who came to serve. However, after personally turning around, he found that although these people were talented, they were far from being a great sage. However, Hebei had initially decided that governing local areas and restoring people's livelihood also required talents to rely on talents. Therefore, Cao Cao did not neglect these people, and remembered them one by one, just waited for the civil servants sent by the court to come and handed them the list - so that these civil servants who came to take over also had a way to start.

Cao Cao reported to Liu Xuan about these things, but Liu Xuan was very concerned about them and read them in detail - he hoped to draw points from above to famous people.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any familiar names after looking at them, so I ignored them in the end.

"Now that Hebei has decided, it's time to consider the matter of class!"

Cao Cao suggested: "It's already autumn now, and the team will catch up with the beginning of winter. It's better to wait until the spring next year before returning to Beijing! Moreover, you can use the army to purify all parts of Hebei during this period. After all, although Yuan Shao was destroyed, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no remnants!"

These remnants did not refer to Yuan Shao's family's desire to avenge him or something, but the fact that some of the defeated soldiers and generals hid. If these people were not cleaned up, they would probably cause bandit trouble.

"Well, it's just for the treatment according to Mengde's words!"

After thinking about it, the current army is not like the empire he was in the past. If something happened, it would be too late to transfer troops, so it is indeed necessary to clear the hidden dangers in advance.

And only by clearing these hidden dangers can we develop better and faster.
