On this day, the lobby of the government office was overcrowded.
Cao Cao's army should have rushed back at noon, but early in the morning, Yanzhou celebrities and major clans gathered in the lobby of the government office.
Logically speaking, Cao Cao did not invite so many people to attend the meeting, but 300,000 Yellow Turban thieves asked to surrender, and rumors that Cao Cao planned to recruit them have spread like wildfire.
Cha Cha, recruiting Yellow Turban thieves... This matter made many wealthy families and famous disciples frown.
As Xun Yu mentioned to Lu Yu in the past, the first thing to bear the brunt is the food problem. Three hundred thousand Yellow Turban thieves have three hundred thousand mouths. Even if Yanzhou's grain depot is emptied, it may not be enough to support them;
Secondly, the reason why the Yellow Turban thieves are called "moth thieves" means that they will eventually fly into the flames. It's a good thing now, seeing that the officers and soldiers led by Cao Cao can kill them with one strike, they surrendered instead.
Before that, moth thieves robbed the people of Yanzhou and killed Yanzhou officers and soldiers...
Even the tragic deaths of the former Yanzhou Shepherd Liu Dai and Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, all these grievances... can we really meet and smile, and the grievances and grudges will be over?
Third, the 300,000 Yellow Turban thieves, even though they were farmers, were also farmers who had rebelled.
The ancients paid special attention to this. Once they rebelled, it was equivalent to having a criminal record, and their names would be associated with "rebellious officials and traitors" for life.
These "thieves" are not worthy of trust. If they act on both ends, they are likely to switch sides in the future and become a hidden danger to Yanzhou!
In addition, the Yanzhou clan and celebrities pride themselves on being noble and noble, so how can they live under the same roof as these rebellious officials and traitors?
Each of these three articles involves the vital interests of the Yanzhou clan and celebrities...
Therefore, they came here spontaneously to show their attitude to Cao Cao.
Now...the entire government office is already talking about it. Basically, all the aristocratic families and celebrities have the same hatred towards the moth thieves, and the mainstream voice is to eradicate them completely and refuse to surrender.
Lu Yu was also here. He was sitting in the lobby with Wei Hong, Xun Yu and Xun You.
They didn't go looking for anyone to talk to, they were always listening to everyone's opinions!
Wei Hong took this opportunity to introduce to Lu Yu the various families and celebrities in the government office...
"Master Lu, look..."
Following Wei Hong's hand, Lu Yu looked up and saw a handsome and elegant middle-aged man.
Wei Hong's voice continued. "His name is Bian Rang, and his courtesy name is Wenli. He is from Junyi County, Chenliu County. He once served as the 'Ling Shi' of General He Jin and also served as the 'Jiujiang Prefect'. He resigned last year.
When he returned to his hometown, all his family members died in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so he has always been hostile to the moth thieves and wished to eat their flesh and drink their blood."
Oh...it turns out that he just gave way.
Lu Yu nodded slightly, the name "Bian Rang" was not unfamiliar to Lu Yu...
Although it is not mentioned in "Deduction", in ancient books and documents, this guy has written a lot of ink and ink.
As for his "great achievements", there is only one - he prides himself on his talent, does not take Cao Cao seriously, despises and belittles Cao Cao!
In the end, Cao Cao naturally killed him on the spot...
Originally, all this was nothing, but... just because Cao Cao killed this "celebrity", the entire Yanzhou clan and celebrity circle began to shake, and Cao Cao lost a lot of the hearts of the Yanzhou clan...
It also laid hidden dangers for later Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, plotted to seize Yanzhou.
When he thought of this, Lu Yu shook his head slightly...
After Wei Hong's introduction, Lu Yu could probably figure out the reason why Bian Rang was always going against Cao Cao. To put it bluntly, it was because of the issue of the Yellow Turban Army's surrender.
The side gave way to a deep hatred, but Cao Cao wanted to create a career. For this reason, Cao Cao didn't care at all about Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin's hatred...how could he care about a mere side concession?
"well…"
Lu Yu let out a soft cry and murmured in his heart, it's really hard to keep this guy alive!
"Why is Mr. Lu sighing?" Wei Hong saw Lu Yu sighing and quickly asked...
"Oh, Mr. Wei, it's nothing..." Lu Yu raised his hand and pointed quietly at a middle-aged man next to the main seat. It seemed that...he had the highest status here, higher than Wei Hong. "Mr. Wei, that man is
who?"
"He is Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu!" Wei Hong introduced: "He and Meng De were classmates in Taixue. Meng De came to Yanzhou, and he also helped him a lot. Apart from the Prime Minister of Jibei, Meng De was the most
Someone you can trust!"
Can you trust it?
hehe…
Hearing Wei Hong say that Zhang Miao could be trusted, Lu Yu immediately said "haha".
Lu Yu remembered that it was recorded in ancient books and documents that when Cao Cao went to Xuzhou, he told his children that if something happened to him, he should seek refuge with his good classmate and brother Zhang Miao. He would definitely treat his children well...
But...Cao Cao was fighting fiercely in Xuzhou, so Zhang Miao directly joined forces with Lu Bu to take over Yanzhou, Cao Cao's base camp.
It seems that that sentence is not true at all. The people you trust the most often hurt you the most.
Of course, Lu Yu could also see some clues from the current discussions in the government office.
To put it bluntly, in history... Zhang Miao's betrayal was related to the killing of celebrities who "bianzhi", and the killing of famous people "bianzhi" was also related to the surrender of the Yellow Turban Army, but the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army was determined to surrender... This tragedy is still
It's really hard to avoid.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu put his chin in his hands. After all, he... couldn't help but feel worried at this moment.
…
at this time.
"I have admired you two Mr. Xun for a long time! I have admired you for a long time!"
But he saw a famous scholar coming to pay him money. He first saluted Wei Hong, and then saluted Xun Yu and Xun You.
"It turns out it's Wenli." Xun Yu stood up and bowed in return. "Who doesn't know Wenli's reputation as 'erudite and eloquent'? My uncle and nephew have admired him for a long time..."
At this point, Xun You added: "Every time I read the book "Zhang Hua Fu" written by Wen Li, I just feel astonished. I am extremely honored to see Wen Li's true face today. I am extremely honored."
This practice became popular in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and businesses were exchanging blows...
If you praise me, two celebrities, and I praise you, spread the word, and the reputations of both people will rise.
Xun Yu and Xun You certainly did not hesitate to use such words.
"Hahaha..." Bianrang twirled his beard and laughed heartily.
But soon, he frowned and his tone suddenly became much colder. "Wenruo, Gongda, have you heard that Cao Cao actually plans to surrender 300,000 Yellow Turban thieves?"
Cao Cao? Do you call Cao Cao by his first name?
That's right, Bian Rang didn't use words of honor like "Cao Gong", "Cao Zhou Mu", or "Cao Yanzhou", nor did he use words like "Meng De", but called Cao Cao directly!
Among peers, those of similar age would call each other by their first names, which in ancient times was almost equivalent to swearing!
How could Xun Yu and Xun You fail to detect the edge in his words?
Of course, it is reasonable for the famous scholar Bian Rang’s son to die in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so he would have some criticisms about Cao Cao’s recruitment of moth thieves... It’s just...
…It’s a little wrong to curse people!
Besides, if Cao Cao wanted to achieve great things, how could he hinder personal friendship?
Xun Yu and Xun You hoped from the bottom of their hearts that Cao Cao would surrender the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army against all objections and use this as a basis to create a career!
If the overall situation was delayed because of the personal feelings of Liu Dai, the former shepherd of Yanzhou, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, then these talented people from Yingchuan were really incompetent.
"Wenruo, Gongda, if you don't say anything, I will assume that you know this."
While narrowing his eyes, he continued to speak. "The yellow scarf thieves massacred tens of thousands of our Yanzhou officers and soldiers, and looted hundreds of thousands of Yanzhou people. The former Yanzhou Shepherd Liu Dai, and Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin even died tragically.
Under their swords! Such old and new grudges? He, Cao Cao, actually wants to surrender? Are we presumptuous in recommending him as the state shepherd?"
"Hmph, to say the least, these Yellow Turban thieves are just a group of traitors with both ends of the head and two sides. If they surrender now, we have to feed them with food. When Yanzhou's food is exhausted, they will rebel again? Then they will attack the prefectures and counties.
Okay, what should I do?"
"In my opinion, we should follow the example of Lord Wu'an and bury these 300,000 moth thieves directly, so as to strengthen the power of our Yanzhou officers and soldiers, and to relieve the hatred of our Yanzhou people!"
The "Wu'an Lord" Bian Rang pointed out was Bai Qi, the famous murderer in history...
Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in a trap. This time, Bian Rang wanted to unite the noble families to ask Cao Cao to follow Bai Qi's example and kill 300,000 Zhao thieves!
His words were sharp, and his words were all surrounded by the word "hate"...
The atmosphere here has become much colder.
"Huo... tricked and killed three hundred thousand Yellow Turbans?" Lu Yu couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "It's so evil. If Lao Cao really wants to listen to you, I'm afraid he will die! Sigh... No wonder he's giving in.
"Offline, you don't understand current affairs, you really deserve it!"
Lu Yu's voice was extremely low and thin, but he never thought that Rang's ears had been sharp since he was a child, and he actually heard it so clearly.
Suddenly, Bian Rang's face turned extremely ugly.
"When will a teenage boy be able to participate in discussing state and county affairs?"
Uh... Shuzi?
Lu Yu was stunned when he blurted out these words. At this moment, he was really angry.
No wonder Lao Cao didn't chop anyone but him, this guy's mouth was really unstoppable!
Lu Yu was originally thinking about how to save you, but if you don't take the road to heaven, there is no way to hell to break in. You are like a "hungry dog going down to the latrine" - seeking death!
