    "Zichuan, how many refugees have we gathered now? $().(23)(w)(x).()" Liu Bei asked as he sat in the Tan County seat and looked at the civil and military men under his command.

    Originally, Chen Xi was supposed to lead an army alone, but before he left Mount Tai, the intelligence from Xuzhou was that he needed supplies instead of men. After all, after arriving in Xuzhou, Liu Bei discovered that what was more important than killing Cao Cao was how to make these troops  After the war, the people who had left their homes could return to a peaceful life.

    "More than three hundred thousand." Chen Xi sighed and said, "The required supplies have been confirmed to be delivered tomorrow."

    Cao Bao is indeed not a good guy, and he feels good about himself. It does not mean that other people in Xuzhou are not smart. For example, Xue Yan, the prime minister of the East China Sea, welcomed Liu Bei's arrival with both hands. Moreover, if Liu Bei said to open the warehouse to release grain, then open the warehouse to release grain.  , chose to hug Liu Bei's thigh without hesitation.

    "Only more than 300,000? It shouldn't be. There should be close to one million people in the northern part of Xuzhou, because the people who left their homes in the massacre should not only have this small number." Liu Bei looked a little gloomy when he said this, fearing that Chen Xi would reveal something.  If the others were all killed by Cao Cao, in that case, Liu Bei couldn't guarantee whether he would send troops to attack Cao Cao regardless.

    "It's not what my lord thinks. Cao Mengde is also gathering the refugees for disaster relief." Jia Xu sighed and said. Regarding what Cao Cao is doing now, Jia Xu can only say that he is indeed a traitor. With such confusion, even if they know  Cao Mengde did carry out a massacre, but there is no substantial evidence.

    "Huh?" Liu Bei was stunned, "Wen He. Say it again."

    "Cao Mengde is also carrying out disaster relief, and is also strangulating the thugs who massacred the people of Xuzhou. Among them, Xiahou Yuanrang has already killed the second largest mass murder force. Que Xuan, who was known as the 'Emperor'." Jia Xu repeated.

    As soon as these words came out, the entire Tan County government office was whispering, and everyone didn't believe it.

    "Didn't there be intelligence reports that Cao Cao was massacring the people of Xuzhou? And we also killed many such groups." Zhao Yun immediately stood up and asked. He was too weak to kill Cao Jun in Xuzhou, but now he was told that he killed the wrong person.  , How can Zhao Yun be willing to give up?

    "Based on our investigation, it is no longer Cao Jun who is carrying out the massacre, but some local forces in Xuzhou. They probably want to take advantage of the situation. As for Cao Mengde's participation in the massacre in the early stage, it is inevitable, but there are  How many people are really responsible for this? There is no accurate data," Jia Xu said helplessly. In view of the accuracy required for the intelligence, he was not prepared to come up with data that was purely guesswork.

    Regarding this aspect, Chen Xi also had estimates.  But he really didn't know how many people he had killed.  As for intelligence, the current intelligence organization does not have cameras or video recorders, and in this situation where multiple forces are competing with each other, it is not easy to ensure that Cao Cao actually carried out the massacre. As for how many people were killed, it is not easy.  It's really not easy to determine.

    "Wen He. Which local forces in Xuzhou participated in this massacre?" Liu Bei changed the topic away from Cao Cao and asked another question.  There is no comment on Cao Cao's actions.

    "It is now clear that there are two groups, one is Que Xuan, the other is Zuo Rong. Que Xuan's purpose is very clear. He is purely taking the opportunity to attack Tao Gong's reputation in order to achieve his own rise. As for Zuo Rong, it seems that he is just  Taking this opportunity to search for wealth," Jia Xu said calmly, "Zui Rong is very powerful, with more than 10,000 soldiers and 3,000 horses, and has already ravaged several counties."

    "How dare you do this, thief!" Liu Bei said angrily.

    "Yun, I would like to share my worries with you." Zhao Yun, dressed coldly and sternly, walked out of his seat.

    Zhao Yun, who was originally mild-tempered, now became cold and stern due to the crazy fighting. With one step, the other generals who originally wanted to take over the matter all retracted their actions.

    "Baima Yi always comes and goes like the wind. It is very appropriate to leave this matter to Zilong. Bring me Zuo Rong's head." Liu Bei said with a cold face. Ever since he witnessed the tragic situation in Xuzhou, Liu Bei, who is known for his benevolence, also  Showing his majestic and domineering side, he will never show mercy to these massacrers.

    "Here!" Zhao Yun bowed and then withdrew directly from the government office, preparing to order troops to attack and kill Zuo Rong.

    "My lord, what follows is my guess because there is insufficient evidence." Jia Xu said after watching Zhao Yun leave.

    "Say." Liu Bei nodded.

    Jia Xu gave a comprehensive explanation of Cao Bao's analysis. After listening to this, Liu Bei's face sank into the water, "Wen He, how sure are you that this is true?"

    "Seventy percent." Jia Xu said silently.

    "That's enough, I came to Xuzhou to kill people, whether it's thugs disguised as Cao Jun, or Que Xuan under the banner of Cao Jun,"Rong and others, they are all the targets I want to kill. As for the Cao Bao you mentioned, let alone 70%, even if it is 10%, he should die!  The murderer without a reason must die!  "Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu with cold eyes, and said something completely different from before in front of everyone without any concealment.

    "It should be like this. It involves hundreds of thousands of people. If you can't prove your innocence, you are guilty. We can think carefully and investigate small things, but at this time, cutting the mess with a quick knife is enough!" Chen Xi also had a look on his face.  He said coldly, he couldn't hate this kind of guy who adds fuel to the flames.

    "I suggest that the people of Xuzhou be directly resettled on-site and their residences rebuilt." After Chen Xi finished speaking, he did not want to talk more about that kind of thing and turned to another matter.

    "Isn't this a bit too much?" When Liu Bei heard this, the dignity he had accumulated was instantly consumed. For him, this kind of thing is also not in line with his standards.

    "Only in this way can we be free to deal with Cao Mengde in a short period of time. Compared with Que Xuan and Zuo Rong, who can be eliminated by just sending one person, Cao Mengde is our real enemy. Continue to focus on the refugees in Xuzhou  If the delay continues, unless martial law is implemented, we will not be able to deal with Cao Mengde at all," Chen Xi said solemnly.

    "Please think again, my lord. Although what Zichuan said is not complete, the fact is that it is similar. There are more than 300,000 idle refugees. If we don't organize them, we can only be dragged in the East China Sea like we did half a month ago."  Liu Ye stood up and said that they had wasted the past half month, although Liu Ye did have the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers.

    "Xuan De Gong, the difference between us and Cao Mengde is that we are not providing disaster relief, we are rescue. We directly ensure that the other party can still survive after we leave, rather than just having a full meal, so for Cao Mengde  Things that can be solved by building a soup kitchen, for us, need to be specific about the other person's food, clothing, housing and transportation," Li You also sighed.

    Liu Bei's actions made Li You not know what to say, but he also clearly understood that this was Liu Bei's vow to treat all people in the world with kindness.  (To be continued)
