Chapter 692: Get Rid of Demons and Climb to the Peak
The Qin Dynasty initially stipulated that the three tribes of the Yi tribe were limited to the Kundi, Jijiandi and Zikundi of the same clan. By the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty ordered Xiao He to compose the nine chapters of the law, there was an order for the Yi tribe. The Supreme Empress
In the first year of the year, in view of the cruelty of the punishment,
It was abolished. Later, the Xinyuan Ping rebellion occurred. In order to punish the traitors, the execution of the three tribes had to be restored. In the early Han Dynasty, Peng Yue, Han Xin and other famous generals were punished by the Yi tribe. But the scope of the Yi tribe at that time was only the father,
brother and wife.
But by the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with frequent rebellions, the scope of the three Yi tribes had greatly increased. Anyone who broke the law would be punished, and innocent parents and wives would be forced to sit together. What is even more terrifying is that
, along with this
The father's family, mother's family, and wife's family of each offender will all be implicated. This killing can often kill hundreds of people in one breath. For a large family like the Zhang Miao family, this barbarian will probably be killed.
Kill hundreds, even thousands.
Moreover, according to the laws of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people of the three tribes of Yi were first tattooed, cut off their left and right toes, and then killed them. After that, their heads were pulled off, and their flesh and blood were sold to the market. Those who slandered and cursed were also killed first.
The tongue is therefore said to have five punishments.
This was cutting off the toes and cutting off the tongue. What a cruel thing it was. Cao Zhi felt disgusted just thinking about it, but Jia Xu plausibly explained to Cao Zhi that this was what Cao Zhi had to do.
Xun Yu finally saw the signal on Jia Xu's expression that he had guessed correctly. Jia Xu was helpless and could no longer pretend. He could only follow Xun Yu's words, stood up, and said slowly: "Yes, Jia
I advocate that the lord should first take Yongqiu and other Chenliuyu counties, and annihilate the Zhang and Miao tribes!"
Jia Xu's words were brief, but the content was very clear.
As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, Cao Ren stood up again and objected: "What's the point of killing the thief Zhang Miao's family first before he's captured?"
Jia Xu replied with a smile: "General Cao, there are many profound meanings here. First, Zhang Miao did not retreat to Yuan Shu of Chen State, but moved closer to Lu Bu and others in Puyang. It is obvious that he wants us to chase him in order to protect him.
We can’t let him lead our family members in Yongqiu!”
After Jia Xu said the first point, he picked up the tea bowl and took a slow sip. When he glanced at Cao Ren at the other end, Cao Ren was glaring at Jia Xu's funny words. Jia Xu smiled inwardly and said to himself: "I'm not an emperor general."
There is always something missing in the material of the photo!”
After putting down the tea bowl, Jia Xu continued tepidly: "Is this the second one... I believe that Cao Cao and Caozhou Mu will also be moved, and will happily accept this proposal from my lord!"
Jia Xu did such an immoral thing and dragged Cao Zhi into it. Otherwise, how could he be so virtuous? In fact, it was he who suggested this idea to Cao Zhi from beginning to end, but now Cao Zhi and him have been separated.
They are tied to the same front. But Jia Xu did not forcefully confront Cao Zhi, but basically got Cao Zhi's approval during last night's lobbying, and even a letter soliciting Cao Cao, Yi, Zhang Miao and other tribes was sent out this morning.
Jia Xu’s second reason for barring the Zhang Miao clan is that in troubled times, heavy codes are used, and almost all the seven counties in Yanzhou are in rebellion. It may not be that easy to deal with Zhang Miao, Lu Bu, Chen Gong and other traitor leaders. But on behalf of Cao Cao
However, there is an urgent need to deter the actions of the counties and counties. Winning back one or two cities will have a certain shocking effect, but it is absolutely
We can't let those traitors be deeply touched. The best way to make those Yanzhou traitors feel the shock is to have a massacre and kill all the seven and eight aunts in Zhang Miao's family.
Come out and kill them, let all the rebels see what the consequences will be if you confront the Yanzhou Group represented by Cao Cao.
Jia Xu's words silenced the entire audience, including Cao Ren, who had always been opposed to it. They all fell into deep thought. Jia Xu's ideas seemed to be for the sake of Cao Cao and his political group. Moreover, doing so in Yanzhou's current troubled times was not a good idea.
A means to reflect Cao Cao's power is very necessary.
But last night they didn't know that Jia Xu had something good to say to Cao Zhi, which was to establish his authority. What Jia Xu meant was that Cao Zhi might inherit his elder brother's power in the future, so he had to prepare for a rainy day.
First establish the bloody power in the land of Yanzhou
, to prepare for future emergencies. In addition, the news was sent back to Cao Zhi in Yangzhou or Hedong and other parts of the country. This will add a heavy blow to the image of Cao Zhi, a new nobleman in the late Han Dynasty, and will further control the imperial court in the future.
There are benefits to controlling the world.
Jia Xu himself likes to hide behind the scenes, but for the people he assists in front of the tomb, he just likes to do whatever it takes to get them to the top of power.
Under Jia Xu's subtle influence, Cao Zhi gradually realized the joy of finding joy in suffering in the face of what everyone said was a difficult road to "peak achievement". In fact, without the fear of blood, people
will long for higher achievements. This is a characteristic of human nature, and the more depressed it is, the greater the room for improvement in the future. Cao Zhi has had this feeling in his heart for a long time, and he often has the urge to change the world.
.
Cao Zhi himself is slowly coming to understand. When he realizes that conquering cities and territories has become a habitual behavior in his life, the struggle for power is also slowly becoming a part of his life. He will not be able to adapt to not having rights in the days to come.
life.
A woman's body makes people intoxicated, and the warmth of family makes people calm, but Cao Zhi feels that none of these can keep his already agitated heart. What he yearns for more is that through cruel war, he can feel a little bit of his own strength every day.
The only thing that can excite him is the strengthening of more people surrendering at his feet. The only breakthroughs in the city, the improvement of power, the increase of new territories, and the surrender of new people have become more and more what he looks forward to every day...
The higher peaks are not what the current forces can give him, but the life of swordsmanship, sword shadow, cutting enemies under the sword, breaking through obstacles, trampling more people or things under his feet, breaking through again, and putting them down again.
...has given Cao Zhi a vague idea of becoming king one day. Cao Zhi once looked forward to going home so much, but when he returned home, he found that he had adapted to the life under the fence of the flower fields.
Cao Zhi knows what kind of life he wants.
Cao Zhi has warned himself more than once that these are all meaningless. After a hundred years, when he passes away, he will have to leave behind all his status, children, and money. This is actually doing a meaningless and stupid thing.
Cao Zhi had heard such plots countless times in movies and TV series in his previous life, and felt sorry for those who were obsessed with it. He even happily boasted to his friends about the plot, saying that he would never be that stupid!
But people are like this. They know that things are meaningless, but they still do them. This is why people have desires and ideals. People often think that this is because they are happy and feel good about what they do, no matter how hard they eat, it doesn’t matter.
No regrets.
No one can deprive others of his or her own ideals, and no one can stop that person from moving forward.
It was at this time in Cao Zhi's life that he met Jia Xu, Li Ru, and even Xun Chen. These people were all masters of tapping into other people's desires. Cao Zhi's fate was destined to change from then on.
Just now, Cao Zhi looked at the snowflakes dancing in front of his eyes. With his condensed eyes, he finally understood that his ability was no longer low. He was no longer an ant who could be manipulated by others. Instead, he was a strong man who could control other people's lives like ants.
However, Cao Zhi has always been a thoughtful person.
I think, as a person with pursuit and creativity, why can't he create a new glorious civilization for this chaotic land and inherit the long history. The Yi, Zhang and Miao tribes may be his best opportunity to go to
Take this step to realize your pursuit.
Just when Cao Ren once again reminded Cao Zhi of his next move, his mind suddenly returned to Qiu Jing Wubo. At that time, his pursuit of the top became extremely firm, and the inner demons in his heart were like phantoms, slowly shattering.
Cracked, scattered in the bottom of my heart, slowly disappearing without a trace.
With the acquiescence of most participants in the meeting, Cao Zhi decided to urgently order his army's forwards Xu Chu and Ren Jun to give up pursuing Zhang Miao and attack Yongqiu directly.
Zhang Miao was caught off guard when Cao Jun suddenly changed his troop transportation route, and had no time to turn back.
Yongqiu City only held out for five days before it was captured by Cao's army. At this time, the rear army led by Cao Zhi had not even reached Yongqiu, and the battle was over. Zhang Miao's family members and people from the three related tribes were captured.
More than 600 people. In the remaining ten days, Cao Jun had a company
They continued to attack Chenliu counties such as Yuxian, Weishi, Fugou, Suanzao, etc., and captured Zhang Miao. Zhang Chao had more than 3,000 men, baggage, and countless grain and grass. So far, the rebellion in Chenliu County had been basically put down, except for Zhang Miao, the thief.
, the rest of the rebel bandits, the lost territory was basically eliminated and encircled and suppressed.
During this period, Cao Cao also agreed to Cao Zhi's proposal. After relying on Lu Bu and Zhang Miao to rescue Chen Liu's troops, he suddenly asked Cao Zhi to wait and attack Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao. He could not attack for a long time.
After conquering Puyang, he resolutely decided to change his strategy in the coming year. He would first wipe out the rebels in other places in Yanzhou, hoard food and grass, and then destroy the last ones entrenched in Lu Bu and Chen Gong.
But before the New Year's bell rings, he wants to deprive Cao Zhi of this opportunity to "establish his authority." Cao Cao is also eager to establish his authority by rebelling in Yanzhou. He wants those rebels to know that this is the fate of rebelling against him.
.
Zhang Miao, who did not attract Cao Zhi's attention and was unable to rescue his family, could only show his kindness to Cao Zhi and asked him to let his family and tribe go. He even promised many benefits to Cao Zhi.
It has been repeatedly emphasized that Cao Zhi has not been a ruthless person like his elder brother since he was a child.
When Cao Zhi received the secret letter from Zhang Miao, he handed it to Jia Xu without even reading it, and asked Jia Xu to tear up the letter in front of Deng Ai, who had just arrived in Chenliucheng.
Deng Ai was surprised by Cao Zhi's change. He couldn't understand Cao Zhi's attitude for a while. But he soon understood. At that time, Deng Ai was both scared and secretly happy that he had followed the right person!
