Han Shimou

Chapter 540 Chen Deng's Plan to Break the Dragon Spring

A son of the Cao family, who is quite talented, thinks that he is a little talented, and he is also a member of the Cao clan. In addition, Cao Cao is very fond of him. He usually acts like dang and is arrogant. One day, the son of the Cao family was invited by a distant relative of a prince in the Han Dynasty to visit his house. During the banquet, the house owner saw that it was boring, so he made his concubine lead several maids to dance and help. Unexpectedly, the son of Cao was drunk and had a desire for the owner of the house to love his concubine. And the son of Cao was born with beautiful eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and quite handsome. Cao's children's eyes were greedy and wantonly explored the concubine who was playing with the style. It seems that the owner of the house loves his concubine. He is also interested in this Cao's son, and he is not to talk about it.

After that, the adultery between the two became more and more uncontrollable, and the thunder stirred the ground fire. The two met in the dark and did some shameless things. However, the good times did not last long, and the paper could not wrap the fire, and the two were finally found. The lord of the house was extremely angry about this. He executed his beloved concubine with the family law, and then told his distant relatives about this matter and asked him to make the decision for him. The distant relatives of the house owner naturally found his relative, the Prince of Han. And the son of the Cao family knew that he had committed a great disaster, so he quickly found the elders of the clan to get rid of his guilt. Later, the matter became bigger and bigger. Soon after, everyone from Luoyang City to the Han royal family to the people in the city knew about it. In order to block the mouths of Youyou, Cao Cao finally had to come forward to deal with it.

And Cao Cao is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. The Han court was almost manipulated by him, and Cao Cao has always loved the son of the Cao family, and many people thought that Cao Cao would definitely protect this person. After all, if Cao Cao deals with it impartially, the son of Cao will definitely die. For the royal family, it's just that an estranged relative has lost a little face. As long as Cao Cao compensates him, gives him some gold and silk, or gives him official fame and fortune, this matter will be a big deal.

However, what was unexpected was that Cao Cao not only did not have the strength to protect the son of the Cao family, but also dealt with him severely and showed no mercy. According to the law, Cao Cao first sentenced him to the palace, and then separated him outside the city with five horses in the eyes of countless public officials and the people. After his body dies, he cannot be buried.

The son of Cao died a very miserable death. And because he has the identity of the Cao family, the people who watched the court that day were almost full of Luoyang City Gate. Since then, the children of Cao's family no longer dared to let go freely, and their arrogance has converged a lot. The royal family not only did not feel ashamed of Cao Cao's treatment, but also felt uneasy, afraid that Cao Cao would settle accounts after the autumn, like walking on thin ice day by day.

Later, Emperor Xian of Han comforted Cao Cao many times for this matter. However, Cao Cao did not seem to take this matter seriously. Instead, he indulged the children of his Cao family and took the initiative to admit his mistake to Emperor Xian of Han and admitted that his jurisdiction was weak. When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty saw Cao Cao, he did not ignore the authority of the royal family like Dong Zhuo, Li Sui and Guo Yan. He was secretly overjoyed and trusted Cao more.

Cao Cao dealt with this matter in fact, like his command, and people from all over the world sent a signal. In his eyes, Cao Cao's law is the first. If it is illegal, no matter who he is, Cao Cao will definitely deal with it strictly according to the law and justice!

Cao Cao ruled strictly according to the law and more strictly. Therefore, his generals and advisers have few presumptuous actions, and his army is also strictly ordered to do, and everything is orderly and orderly.

Of course, Cao Cao governs strictly, and he is not just rigid. For example, when Cao Cao sent troops to attack Yuan Shu, he saw that he was familiar with it all the way. The people nearby fled because of the army and soldiers, and did not dare to mow wheat. When Cao Cao saw this, he made people go far and near the villagers and the officials guarding the border everywhere.

The day of the order.

"I am under the edict of the Son of Heaven, send troops to fight against rebellion, and eliminate harm with the people. When the wheat was ripe, Fang had no choice but to rise up. The generals and colonels, who crossed the wheat field, but there were tramplers, were all beheaded. The military law is very strict, and there is no need to be surprised.

You take the people for heaven. Food is the first necessity of the people.

When the people heard the oracle, they all praised it with joy, and worshipped with the dust covering the road. When the officers and soldiers passed through the wheat field, they all disared and held the wheat in their hands. They passed by and did not dare to trample on it.

Soldiers and horses, because of the grain to fight against the enemy, the grain comes from the hands of the people, and the people eats food. Cao Cao is like this. Not only did he win the reputation of the people, but his soldiers were not convinced and were willing to fight under his command.

Later, Cao Cao rode the horse, and suddenly a big dove in the field. Cao Cao's horse was shocked and rushed into the wheat, breaking a large piece of wheat field. The accompanying soldiers were not too surprised to see this. Cao Cao was not in a hurry, and his face was gloomy. He followed the main book of the army and trampled on the wheat field for others. Why did he suffer?

After listening to the military master's book, he was shocked and quickly knelt down.

"The prime minister is the important minister of the country. He fights against the rebels for the country and calms the disaster. It is a move for the benefit of the people. Now that all the horses are frightened, how can it be a crime?"

Cao Cao's face was calm, and he secretly saw that many people were watching timidly in the distance. Cao Cao suddenly condensed his face and shouted loudly.

"Presumptuous! I made my own decree, but I violated it myself. If I don't obey the law, how can I convince the public?

After Cao Cao said, he pulled out the sword against his waist and wanted to stride himself on the spot. Seeing that Cao Cao raised his sword and cut his neck, the people in the distance were so scared that they panicked. They all exclaimed and advised the Prime Minister to stop. And Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were next to Cao Cao, had been ready for a long time and rushed to save him. Dian Wei took Cao Cao's sword. Guo Jia, behind Cao Cao, quickly got off the horse and walked forward to worship.

"The righteousness of the ancients, the law is not respected. How can the Prime Minister's army fight for himself? What's more, the thieves have not been killed today, and the princes of the world are divided. When the Han Dynasty needs the prime minister, how can the prime minister ignore the danger of the world because of a law!"

As soon as Guo Jia's words fell, the army behind, large and small, generals and soldiers knelt down to persuade, and the people in the distance also came to kneel down to persuade.

Cao Cao meditated for a long time, and it was his speech.

"Since there is a law that does not add to the righteousness of respect, and there is reason in the words of the military master, the Han Dynasty still needs the meager body of the prime minister, so I will avoid death for the time being."

Cao Cao used Guo Jia's words to gently put aside the death penalty. Then, Cao Cao grabbed a bunch of hair on his head, suddenly cut it with his sword, cut his hair with his sword and shouted on the ground.

"However, the law must be followed. I will cut off the power to show my power!"

After Cao Cao's words, he sent people to the three armies. Each messenger soldier held his hair high and shouted while horseling.

"The Prime Minister practiced wheat, and he should have beheaded him, and now he will cut his hair instead."

Cao Cao cut his head and carried out the law, so the three armies were horrified and obeyed the military order. Later, this matter was passed down by word of mouth by the people, and all the people who listened praised Cao Cao's strict law.

And Chen Deng's matter, although it is a great crime of rebellion, without some careful vision, it is difficult to see that Chen Deng let Liu Bei go privately. After all, Chen Deng made a plan to kill thousands of soldiers of Liu Bei. As for why Chen Deng did not send troops to chase Liu Bei later, he could easily excuse him by making a little excuse. Of course, these excuses can be used to deceive soldiers. It is absolutely impossible to deceive a battlefield-time general like Cao Chun, let alone Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao did not pursue this, so there was no regulation. And Cao Cao also secretly ordered that Cao Chun and other generals should not mention the matter of Chen Deng, and they have the intention to expose this matter.

That's all for the time being.

After talking to the Cao general, Cao Chun was about to walk away, but Cao Chun didn't take a few steps. As if he remembered something, he turned around and told the general coldly.

"Yes. The matter of Chen Yuanlong is not mentioned by the Lord. You'd better control your mouth and don't get the trouble out of your mouth, otherwise I won't even be able to protect you at that time!"

The Cao general suddenly shivered, and suddenly felt cold all over his body. He quickly bowed his hand and thanked.

"General Xie reminded that the villain will never mention this matter again."

At the same time, in the hall of Guangling County, Xuzhou.

Cao Cao sat on the hall, Guo Jia stood beside him, and Chen Deng knelt down in the middle of the hall and saluted.

"Lord, Ruo Deng's guess is correct. Liu Xuande was determined to lead the army to retreat to Longquan County. Although Longquan County is deserted, its surrounding terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, I think that Liu Xuande should hide here nine times out of ten.

"Oh? Longquan County? The Prime Minister of this place has also heard a little about it. This place is surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is rugged and bumpy. It is difficult for the army to advance or retreat. I don't know if Yuanlong has a plan to help the Prime Minister eliminate the big-eared thieves?

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly, and Chen Deng called him the lord, representing that he had been sincere. Cao Cao put a lot of effort into Chen Deng's loyalty. First of all, Chen Deng let Liu Bei go. If Cao Cao said that there was no complaint in his heart, it would be impossible. However, because Cao Cao loved Chen Deng's talent, he only closed his eyes to this matter, and later did not hesitate to hand over the land of a state to him. Such heroes are natural and magnanimous, and they have indeed conquered Chen Deng.

And Chen Deng is also a person who knows the current affairs. Cao Cao treated him like this, and he also secretly swore that he would do his best for him and die. As a super conspirator, Chen Deng has long practiced the ability to control his body, emotions and emotions. Chen Dengqiangzhan's affection for Liu Bei. After all, he let Liu Bei live, and he has completed his heart and cleared his guilt. Since then, he and Liu Bei have only had an incompatible relationship with the enemy.

Chen Deng pondered for a while, his brain turned, and then arched his hand and said.

"Longquan County is on a steep terrain and is attacked by a large army. The number of people is large and it is easy to be chaotic. On the contrary, it will cause many unnecessary casualties. Lord, if you want to break through the Longquan, you still have to attack the heart!"

"Attack the heart? Yuanlong has a clever plan. Come on."

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if to illuminate the whole hall. Chen Deng nodded slightly and continued.

"Lord, you can send 30,000 troops to surround the surrounding mountains of Longquan County, cut off its grain supply, and lead to all the water sources in the city. Longquan County is full of wasteland, and usually only food can be supplemented from other places, so there is little grain storage. In Longquan County, most of the residents are local people's aliens. If they are not ours, their hearts will be different. As long as the food and water in Longquan County are cut off and less than half a month, these local aliens will definitely be in chaos. In addition, there is no food and water in the city, and the soldiers under the command of big-eared thieves will be panicked. Over time, their morale is low, and their soldiers have no intention to fight. At that time, the lord will let people secretly surrender these local people and aliens as an insider. In this way, the big-eared thief will definitely die!"

"Hahaha! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!! Yuanlong is resourceful. I need your help, just like a tiger with wings! The big-eared thief is really digging his own grave this time!"

Cao Cao laughed with great joy and repeatedly said that Chen Deng's plan was really vicious. As he arranged in his plan, at that time, Longquan County was surrounded by Cao soldiers, and at the moment of the decisive battle, Liu Bei's soldiers' morale was extremely low, they had no intention to fight, and were overthrown by the people in the city. In such a situation, there is no reason to live. Unless Liu Bei really has God's blessing, it may be possible to escape.

"Ai... Liu Xuande, don't blame me. I have let you live. But you don't know whether to live or die, and you actually placed the soldiers and horses in Longquan County. Don't you have a counselor under your command to go to the lobby!"

Chen Deng sighed silently in his heart. With Chen Deng's wisdom, although he did not have any news about Liu Bei, as soon as he saw the direction of Liu Bei's retreat and analyzed it, he immediately guessed that Liu Bei would go to Longquan County.
