In addition, Cao Cao liked him quite a lot, and he behaved in a arrogant and arrogant way. Registered members recommend this work >-] One day, this descendant of the Cao family was invited by a distant relative of a prince of the Han Dynasty to his mansion as a guest. During the banquet, the master of the mansion saw that it was boring, so he ordered his concubine to lead several A maid danced to join in the fun, but she didn't know that the Cao family's child was so drunk that he became possessive of the master's concubine. And that Cao family's child was quite handsome with fine features, red lips and white teeth. The Cao family's children had greedy eyes and wanton thoughts. He was exploring the body of the palace lord's concubine who was showing off his charm. It seemed that the palace lord's concubine was also interested in this Cao family's son, and she flirted with him without saying a word.
After that, the adultery between the two became more and more out of control. Thunder from the sky set fire to the earth. The two met in secret and did some shameful things. However, the good times did not last long and the paper could not cover up the fire. The two were eventually discovered in the house. The Lord was so furious about this that he executed his concubine according to the family law, and then told his distant relatives about the matter, asking them to make decisions for him. Naturally, the distant relatives of the palace found his relatives, the princes of the Han Dynasty, and the descendants of the Cao family, Knowing that he had committed a huge disaster, he quickly asked the elders of the clan to exonerate him. Later, the matter became more and more serious. Soon, everyone in Luoyang City, from the Han royal family to the common people in the city, knew about this matter. Cao Cao wanted to stop it. Many people talked about it, and finally had to step in to deal with it
And Cao Cao was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty court was almost controlled by him. Cao Cao had always loved that Cao family's son, and many people thought that Cao Cao would definitely protect this person. After all, if Cao Cao dealt with him impartially, that person would The children of the Cao family will undoubtedly die. To the royal family, it is just an estranged relative who has lost a little face. As long as Cao Cao makes some compensation to him, presents some gold and silk or gives him official fame and fortune, the matter can be settled.
However, what is unexpected is that Cao Cao not only failed to protect the son of the Cao family, but dealt with him severely without showing any mercy. Cao Cao followed the law and sentenced him to castration first, and then sent him outside the city. , under the eyes of countless officials and common people, his body was cut into pieces by five horses and was not allowed to be buried after death.
That Cao family's son died extremely miserably. Because he had the Cao family's identity, the people who watched the execution field that day were almost full at the Luoyang City Gate. From then on, the Cao family's children no longer dared to let go. dang, the arrogance has been reduced a lot, and the people of the royal family, instead of feeling that they have gained face by Cao Cao's treatment, they feel uneasy, fearing that Cao Cao will settle accounts later, and they will be walking on thin ice every day.
Later, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty tried to appease Cao Cao many times specifically for this matter. Cao Cao did not seem to take the matter to heart. Instead, he indulged the Cao family's children and confessed his mistake to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, believing that his administration was ineffective. Seeing that Cao Cao did not ignore the royal authority like Dong Zhuo, Li Cui, and Guo Si, I was secretly happy and trusted Cao Cao even more.
Cao Cao's handling of this matter is actually sending a signal to people under his command and the world. In the eyes of Cao Cao, all laws come first. If it is illegal, no matter who it is, he, Cao Cao, will definitely deal with it strictly. Righteousness
Cao Cao governed strictly by law and had strict rules. Therefore, his generals and advisors rarely behaved arrogantly. His army also obeyed strict orders, and everything was done in an orderly manner and in accordance with the laws.
Of course, Cao Cao ruled strictly by law, and he did not just know how to be rigid. For example, when Cao Cao sent out troops to attack Yuan Shu, during the march, he saw that the wheat was ripe along the way. The people nearby fled because of the soldiers marching forward, and did not dare to cut the wheat. Cao Cao saw this , sent people far and near to inform the village elders and officials guarding the territory everywhere.
Day of order
"According to the emperor's clear edict, I sent out troops to fight against the rebels and eliminate harm to the people. Now when the wheat is ripe, I have no choice but to raise troops. All generals and commanders, big and small, who trample on the wheat fields will be beheaded. The military law is very strict. You fellow villagers and elders need not be alarmed. "
The king regards the people as his heaven, and the people regard food as their heaven
When the people heard the edict, they all praised it happily. They looked at the dust covering the road and paid homage to the officers and soldiers passing by the wheat field. They all dismounted from their horses and held the wheat with their hands, passing it to each other without daring to trample it.
Soldiers and horses, because food is useful in fighting the enemy, the food comes from the hands of the people, and the people feed on the food. In this way, Cao Cao not only gained a high reputation from the people, but his soldiers were not convinced by him, and were willing to fight and fight under his command.
Later, when Cao Cao was riding his horse, suddenly a large dove appeared in the field. Cao Cao's horse was frightened and ran into the wheat, trampling a large piece of wheat field. The accompanying soldiers were all shocked when they saw this. Cao Cao was not in a hurry, his face was serious, and he shouted. What will happen to the military leader who tramples the wheat fields for others?
After hearing this, the chief secretary of the army was shocked and quickly knelt down and said
"The prime minister is an important minister of the country. He fights against the rebels and quells the chaos for the country. This is an act to benefit the people. Now it is all because of the horse being frightened. How can he be blamed?"
Cao Cao looked calm, and secretly saw that many people were watching timidly from a distance. Cao Cao suddenly condensed his expression and shouted loudly.
"I have made my own laws without restraint, but violated it myself. If I don't obey the law, how can I obey the public?"
 After Cao Cao finished speaking, he pulled out the Heavenly Sword from his waist and was about to kill himself on the spot. When Cao Cao raised the sword and slashed his own neck, the people in the distance were frightened and turned pale. They all exclaimed, urging the Prime Minister to stop. Dian Wei and Xu Chu beside him were already prepared and rushed to rescue him. Dian Wei snatched Cao Cao's sword. Guo Jia, who was behind Cao Cao, quickly dismounted and walked forward to pay his respects.
"The meaning of the ancients is that if the law is not imposed on the Prime Minister and the President's army, how can he kill himself? What's more, the traitors have not been punished, the princes of the world are divided, and the Han Dynasty is in need of the Prime Minister. How can the Prime Minister ignore the danger of the world just because of a law? "
As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, all the generals and soldiers from behind, big and small, knelt down to persuade, and the people in the distance also came to kneel down to persuade.
Cao Cao pondered for a long time before speaking
"Since there is a law that does not impose respect, and the military advisor's words are reasonable, the Han Dynasty still needs the meager body of this 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 own hair with the sword and threw it to the ground, shouting
"However, the law must not be ignored and I must cut off the power of hair to show the authority of the law."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he sent people to send orders to the three armies. The soldiers held their hair high, rode their horses, and shouted:
"The Prime Minister Jianmai should have ordered his beheading, but now he will cut off his hair to replace it."
Cao Cao cut off his hair to serve as his head in order to carry out the law, so the three armies were frightened and all failed to obey the military orders. Later, this matter was passed down by the people orally, and everyone who heard it praised Cao Cao for being strict with his laws.
Although Chen Deng's incident was a serious crime of disobedience, without some discerning people, it would be difficult to tell that Chen Deng let Liu Bei go without permission. After all, Chen Deng used a trick to kill thousands of Liu Bei's soldiers. As for why Chen Deng didn't send troops to pursue him later. Liu Bei can easily evade it with just a few excuses. Of course, these excuses can deceive soldiers. It is absolutely impossible to deceive a battle-hardened general like Cao Chun. Needless to say, he can deceive Cao Cao, but Cao Cao has no idea about this. There is no pursuit, so there are no rules to speak of. Cao Cao also secretly ordered Cao Chun and other soldiers not to mention Chen Deng's matter more, which is likely to expose the matter.
???????????????????????????????????
After Cao Chun finished talking to the Cao general, he was about to walk away, but before he could walk a few steps, Cao Chun seemed to remember something, turned around and coldly warned the Cao general.
"By the way, about Chen Yuanlong, my lord has an order not to mention it anymore. You'd better keep your mouth shut and don't let trouble come out of your mouth, otherwise I won't be able to protect you when the time comes."
The general of the Cao family shivered violently, suddenly feeling cold all over, and quickly thanked him
"General Xie reminds me that I will never mention this matter again in the future."
At the same time, the main hall in Guangling County, Xuzhou
Cao Cao sat in the main hall, Guo Jiali stood beside him, Chen Deng knelt down in the middle of the main hall, held the ceremony and spoke.
"My lord, if Deng's guess is correct, Liu Xuande must have led his troops to retreat to Longquan County. Although Longquan County is deserted, the terrain around it is steep, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, Deng thought that Liu Xuande was very capable and would hide here."
"Oh? Longquan County? My prime minister has also heard a little about this place. It is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is rugged and bumpy, making it difficult for the army to advance and retreat. I wonder if Yuan Long has a plan to help my prime minister eliminate the big-eared thieves?"
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly. Chen Deng called him his lord, which meant that he had surrendered to Cao Cao to win Chen Deng's loyalty. It can be said that he had spent a lot of money. First of all, Chen Deng let Liu Bei go. If Cao Cao said he had no resentment in his heart, then It was absolutely impossible, but Cao Cao turned a blind eye to this matter because he loved Chen Deng's talents. Later, he did not hesitate to hand over a state of land to him. Such a heroic character and magnanimous spirit indeed conquered Chen Deng.
As for Chen Deng, he was also aware of current affairs. Cao Cao treated him like this, and he also secretly swore that he would do his best for him until his death. As a top planner, Chen Deng had already developed the ability to control his body's emotions. Liu Bei's feelings, after all, he let Liu Bei live, he had fulfilled his original intention and cleared his guilt. From then on, he and Liu Bei only had an incompatible relationship.
Chen Deng pondered for a while, his mind whirling with thoughts, and then he handed over his hands and said
"The terrain of Longquan County is steep. If we attack with a large army, the number of people is large and it is easy to be confused. On the contrary, it will cause many unnecessary casualties. Lord, if we want to conquer Longquan, we must attack the heart first."
"Attack the heart? Yuan Long has a clever plan, please tell me quickly"
Cao Cao¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up, seeming to illuminate the entire hall. Chen Deng nodded slightly and continued.
"My Lord, you can send an army of 30,000 to surround the surrounding mountains of Longquan County, cut off its food supplies, and cut off all water sources leading to the city. Longquan County is surrounded by wastelands. Usually, food can only be supplied from outside, so there is little food storage in Longquan. Most of the residents in the county are natives and aliens, and those who are not of my race must have different thoughts. As long as Longquan County's food and water are cut off, within half a month, these natives and aliens will definitely cause chaos. In addition, there will be no food and water in the city, and the big-eared thieves willThe soldiers will definitely be in panic, and over time, their morale will be low, and their soldiers will have no intention to fight. Then the lord will secretly recruit these foreign people to surrender and let them serve as internal agents. In this way, the big-eared thief will undoubtedly die."
"Hahaha, Miaomiao Miaomiao Yuanlong is very resourceful. I need your help. The big-eared thief is really digging his own grave now."
Cao Cao laughed with joy and repeatedly said that Chen Deng's plan was really vicious. As he planned it, when Longquan County arrived, Cao Cao's soldiers would be surrounded by mountains. When the decisive battle came, the morale of Liu Bei's soldiers was extremely low and they had no intention of fighting. He was also betrayed by the local people in the city. How could he survive? Unless Liu Bei really had God's blessing, he might be able to escape.
"HeyLiu Xuande, don't blame me. I have let you live, but you don't know whether it's life or death. You actually placed your troops in Longquan County. Don't you have a senior adviser under your command?"
Chen Deng sighed silently in his heart. With Chen Deng's wisdom, although he had no information about Liu Bei, when he saw the direction of Liu Bei's army's retreat and analyzed it, he immediately guessed that Liu Bei would mostly go to Longquan County.
