Because Cao Cao was absent and Xun Yu claimed to be ill, the voices were naturally unified at the dynasty meeting.
Liu Xie issued another edict to express his mercy on the suffering of war and the people of the world. He ordered Cao Cao to return his army and stop his troops, otherwise the world would fight against him!
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the prelude to the storm has sounded!
The Cao faction won an unprecedented victory!
The main premise of absent trial is that the person being judged does not have much resistance...
Otherwise, the absence of trial would be a joke.
The most critical reason why Cao Cao dares to judge him in absentia is that a large number of Shandong gentry believe that Cao Cao will definitely be finished this time!
Cao Cao intended to trap the children of the Shandong gentry's gilded children in Heluo, so those guys who didn't even have time to gilded noticed the danger, and even wanted to escape back to Shandong, but they could not escape at all, so they could only send letters to Shandong for help.
Among these letters, of course it is impossible to say anything about you, I, I, everyone, everything is very good, so it naturally gives the Shandong gentry an anchor impression-
Old Cao is finished!
With the words of everyone, Lao Cao became a favorite who wanted no soldiers, no generals, and only had a desperate mind, and even dragged them to death!
How badly I was suppressed by Cao Cao before, now it is how high the rebound is!
Although Ren Jun is still the general of the military farmer around Xu County, Ren Jun's soldiers are also ordinary military farmer, and the elite soldiers are taken away by Cao Cao. At the same time, Xun Yu is in Xu County. He has never appeared since Cui Yan and Liu Xie made peace. He is also considered to be the Yuzhou faction and was disappointed with Cao Cao...
So, Cao Cao now looks like he was abandoned by Jizhou and Yuzhou at the same time, so what other waves can appear?
Moreover, Liu Xie was also careful. While keeping Lu Su's stamp and making no comments, he issued another edict to ask Fei Qian and Cao Cao to stop the war, which gave him more room for advancement and retreat.
Further, it is to knock Cao Cao down from the high position with one slap, and then step on it as a gift to Fei Qian. Take a step back. If Fei Qian is not good at it, he can turn back and encourage Cao Cao to continue fighting and continue to fight for the Han Dynasty for the rest of his life.
So, the Shandong gentry shyly, hidingly, and squintingly delivered an olive branch to Fei Qian...
Of course, it is more appropriate to call it "jade and silk" in the Han Dynasty.
Stop fighting and turn into jade and silk.
What a wonderful wish!
Unfortunately, the better the wish, the less it is possible to realize it easily.
For example, I hope I am very rich, make a fortune, and win the lottery...
In Chenliu, Yanzhou, Cao Cao sat at the top of the tent, looked around and smiled, "It's just a little clown, why worry?! Such short-sighted people disturb the country and corrupt the court, and they have no time to distinguish the good and bad in daily life. They just have this opportunity to catch them all in one go! They can save the foundation of the Han Dynasty and fall into such a bad hand! This is a great joy! You all should be happy!"
Cao Cao laughed.
But the other generals under the seat couldn't laugh.
Cao Cao smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to be rising.
Under Cao Cao, Cao Hong and Cao Zhang and several other Cao generals were kneeling, and their armor still seemed to have a bloody smell.
Cao Hong's injuries were not healed, but his body was still straight.
Cao Zhang also straightened his waist, but there was a hint of worry on his face and did not smile with his father.
As for those who are Liu Fu and other advisers, they are mostly kneeling and are not even moving their eyes, and there is no supporting actor who can come up to ask...
After all, the changes in Xu County at this stage have made them feel heartbroken.
It also makes them worried.
They were abandoned by the children of Shandong gentry!
How could they laugh like Cao Cao?
Now the only one who can know Cao Cao's true strength is only a few of the current generals and advisers.
This is a good thing, and a bad thing too.
The Cao army was originally complicated and bloated, but now it has become more capable because of the present. Of course, the most important thing is that Cao Cao was not as weak as the Shandong gentry believed, or had no ability to resist.
At least in Chenliu, there are still soft carpets in Cao Jun camp, and there are still silver charcoal braziers in the big tent. Even though the temperature in early spring is still not high, it is still warm inside the big tent.
However, several generals and strategists under Cao Cao felt uncomfortable at all when they were in it. They only heard that Cao Cao laughed constantly, and the others were silent, either worried, anxious, or frown.
Cao Cao laughed for a moment, then looked around, shook his sleeves high, and swung them for a while, "Come on! If you have any worries, it's okay to say it straight!"
"Lord," Liu Fu said, "This court order is clearly to remove the lord's military power... and I heard that the people in Jizhou have made many rebellious actions... I don't know whether this is true or false? If Jizhou is really so despicable, we should have a constitution! But if we fight too much with Jizhou... The cavalry army... The lord, now the morale of the army is fluctuating, and there is insufficient food and grass, this...
Cao Cao laughed and said, "On the contrary! This is when our army seizes food and grass! If we are so stupid and slow, our army will not be able to do anything! Xu County is not in chaos, how can we raise food and grass military funds?!"
As soon as Cao Cao said this, some people suddenly realized it and some people were surprised.
Liu Fu couldn't help but say: "Lord! This is probably... something is wrong!"
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, "What's wrong?"
Liu Fu hesitated, but after a moment, he lowered his head and bowed, "Lord, if you really practice this method, although it can solve the temporary difficulties,... there are many disadvantages of killing chickens to get eggs!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and signaled Liu Fu to get up, "Yuanying, let me ask you something..."
"Please speak, lord." Liu Fu replied.
Cao Cao smiled, and there seemed to be a different expression hidden in his smile, "If I don't kill this chicken... May I ask Yuanying, would this chicken borrow eggs Yu?"
"This..." Liu Fu couldn't answer.
This question does not need to be answered at all.
If you treat these people who are overthrowing Cao well, these people will change their minds under the inspiration of the holy light?
The Cao generals, Cao Hong and others nodded one after another.
Since you have turned against each other, there is no need to show any mercy!
Is it allowed these guys to drag Cao's army back in the war and not allowed Cao Cao to settle the score now?
What's more, it's spring now!
We were kind before, because everyone could barely be together, no matter whether it was Xiao Tiantian, Little Baby, or Mrs. Niu, but now that he has turned against each other, he will naturally become a passerby!
If others don’t care for themselves, heaven will be punished by the earth, let alone the Cao army’s family needs to be preserved?
Among all the people in the tent, only Liu Fu looked ugly.
First, Liu Fu has a lot of friendship with the children of Shandong gentry, and second, he really doesn't want to see Cao Cao raise his butcher's knife and turn Jizhou into the second Xuzhou...
But in this situation, if Liu Fu finds a way to solve the mess in front of him, he really has no good ideas!
Liu Fu stopped talking, and other Cao army generals would not object.
They have done this in Xuzhou once before, and now they do it again, so what's wrong?
In history, Cao Cao's small kitchen knife was wielded more than once, and Xuzhou was just a bit more cruel. Others such as "migration", "inward movement", or "scheduling", etc., all involve thousands or tens of thousands of lives!
Seeing that everyone stopped saying anything, Cao Cao stood up: "Everyone! Within ten days, I want this place in Shandong to be fair!"
"Once you act, what you fear the most is capriciousness!"
"Jingzhou is in trouble now, and it is hard to support his filial piety. We must fight quickly before we can redirect the assistance!"
"If you stop, you will suffer from it!"
"Transfer our military orders! Recruiting the army! Crossing the river! Prepare military rations!"
Everyone answered together, and then the entire Cao army camp immediately started to move and set up troops.
Liu Fu watched the Cao army soldiers act under the orders, and suddenly, an idea emerged.
If Cao Cao was wrong this time, will this bet lose all his money and never be able to turn over?
...
...
"It's over! It's over!"
"Help! Who will help you?"
The panicked shouts sounded around the land of Jizhou north of the river.
A large number of people in Jizhou were frivolous and fleeing with their families.
These people in Jizhou originally thought they were still safe and were preparing for spring farming. However, they did not expect that they would not wait for the hope of spring, but instead welcomed the swords and guns of death.
In the Jizhou countryside, it is already very good that the servants and soldiers from the fortresses can have some swords, guns, bows and arrows. More than half of them do not have decent armor. After all, they usually face civilians holding wooden sticks and rakes, and some weapons are enough. But now when these servants and soldiers face the fierce Cao army, it is obviously not enough.
Even the squire above the fort shouted loudly, trying to stabilize morale and maintain order, it was still useless.
The turbulent crowds were flooding, flooding the forts one after another.
These Jizhou bays have trenches, but they are not very wide and deep. The walls of the bays are not much taller. When they encounter the chaotic people, they can only stay in the door and shrink their heads like turtles, trying to avoid danger and escape from disasters.
But obviously, this is impossible.
The Cao army was busy packing up the forts, and they were not in a hurry to oppress and chase the people who were fleeing.
As long as these guys don't take away the supplies.
On the wall of the village, the lord of a fort was disheveled, his hair was undressed, his face was covered with disheveled armor, his legs were trembling, and he could barely stand up only when he held the wall of the village, and shouted to the sky in despair: "Master God! Why? Why? Why don't you give me a way to live?"
The countryside of Jizhou was in chaos, and the news that Cao's army began to raise a butcher knife to Jizhou quickly spread around.
No matter when, no matter ancient and modern, both in China and abroad, once faced with troubled times, the middle class will definitely be the first to fall. After all, the common people are already at the end, and they will not fall much further. However, the middle class, who was originally considered a decent life, almost fell from the sky to the mud and dust!
Those gentry squads on the edge of Jizhou are undoubtedly the middle class in Jizhou. They are not top gentry, but they have some land, some money, and some people in the countryside. In daily life, they think that this day is their sky, and this land is also their land. Under the small peasant economic system, the demand for the outside world is very low. Except for a very few who can think about looking at the outside world, most of these gentry disciples have inherited their father's business and watched the sky from generation to generation.
Now, the well has been broken.
It turns out that war, death, is so close!
On a small hill far away from the dock, a group of people looked at the chaos and death in the dock from afar.
Whether it is a general or a soldier, most of the eyes are filled with indifference.
Cao Hong is the main one, and Cao Zhang is the deputy.
In the chaotic times, people are like grass, and after the storm is rolled up, no one can stay away from it.
If Cao's army wants to defeat the Cavalry in the next stage, or to find a glimmer of hope in desperate situations, it is impossible to use ordinary means!
Money, grain, people!
Which one and which point can be obtained at present through ordinary, normal and harmonious channels?
No!
As long as Cao Cao sits down and talks, he will wait to die!
Cao Cao hid in order not to sit down and talk, and it is impossible to sit down and talk. If Cao Cao could not centralize power, then those who waited for the Cao family would definitely be completely liquidated and eliminated!
It's like what Sima did after he came to power in history.
Even if we have to talk, we will still talk again!
Cao Hong brought Cao Zhang to see with his own eyes what the outcome of the loser would be.
Cao Zhang was still young in the previous battle in Xuzhou, and even after watching it, he might not be able to understand the cruelty and despair contained in it.
Now, where they are, they can see the battlefield at the far-off fort.
Looking at the rioters who were not in line, surrounded by, driven away, shouting, crying, and crying, with despair and death, surging towards the small dock, drowning all the vitality under the yellow dust and destroying it in the blood.
The screams that were made before death could be heard vaguely even if they were so far apart.
This voice made Cao Zhang feel a little uneasy.
Although he could also hear such screams on the battlefield, for some reason, Cao Zhang felt that the sound at the moment sounded so uncomfortable, which made him feel a little confused where to put it.
"This is a world of cannibalism..." Cao Hong seemed to have discovered Cao Zhang's embarrassment, or hadn't noticed it at all, but Cao Hong said to himself, "To live, do his best."
The fort in front of you is for survival, and the other is for preserving your own way of life.
Cao Hong looked up slightly, "Do you think we are wrong?"
Cao Zhang was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "We are right. If we don't do this, we will die!"
'That's it!' Cao Hong said in a deep voice, 'When these guys were stealing our food and grass, stealing our army's weapons, and just doing something, they would stop them. Why didn't they think about today?'
Cao Hong obviously included anger, and this sentence almost roared, as if he wanted to roar out the depression and pain he had experienced these days together in his words!
People have a standpoint, and wherever they are, they naturally speak.
Of course, Cao Hong would not say that they have implicated many innocent ordinary people in order to deal with these rural geniuses in Jizhou!
In this world, in the present of the Han Dynasty, these ordinary people who have no right to speak have always been sacrificed!
At least in Shandong, no one will listen, and no one will pay attention to the tragedy of these ordinary people!
Even using this tragedy to achieve one's own goal...
Cao Zhang couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed slightly, "All of them are from Shandong... Why bother to come?"
Cao Hong nodded, "That's right, why bother to come!"
Perhaps Cao Zhang and Cao Hong’s “Why do you want to come” does not mean the same thing, but now all of this has lost its meaning.
These gentry in Jizhou leaned towards Yuan Shao before the Han Dynasty had fallen, and after Yuan Shao died, they quickly fell under Cao Cao's skirt.
It can be said that these people spare no effort to survive, but it can also be said that these people do not have the so-called "loyalty and filial piety" and "shamed", at least not as much or as high as they verbally emphasize!
Therefore, it can be foreseen that once Fei Jian reaches Zhongyuan, these guys will quickly join the cavalry...
The premise is that the cavalry must join the crowd with them.
Just like all the Shandong rulers before, they must "take care of" them and be given "special" treatment.
These gentry and Confucian students in Shandong are like small assets and middle-class people in later generations, and have a certain degree of revolution and compromise. The revolutionary nature of these people is to hope to remove the big assets on their heads and replace them, not really opposing the system of oppression and exploitation.
They have certain progressive capabilities and a certain knowledge reserve. They have indeed made considerable contributions to the inheritance and promotion of Chinese civilization culture. They have also made contributions to the dissemination and expansion of culture and the improvement of education and quality of ordinary people. Just like Confucius' teachings, they are also setting thresholds and traps in the process of spreading knowledge, and then trying to monopolize knowledge into their own authority. Therefore, these people are very disgusted with Zheng Xuan and very resistant to Qinglong Temple.
In the final analysis, these middle and lower levels of the gentry are the people who most look forward to peace in the world, because only under the premise of peace in the world can these people live a stable life and enjoy the convenience under order!
And now, this order has been completely broken, and death and chaos have finally come to these people.
