Chapter 96 Chapter Thirteen: Meng De’s Laughing Call to Wenyun’s Three Events (2)
The great general Yuan Shao, who led the elite army and wiped out the eunuchs, later encountered Dong Zhuo's dictatorship and invaded the mob, so he raised his sword and revolted... At this time, Cao Cao joined General Yuan's camp. As a minion, unexpectedly, Cao Cao was short in strategy and easy to advance and retreat, so he was defeated many times and lost many soldiers, but General Yuan still replenished his team and recommended him to be stationed in Tundong County as the governor of Yanzhou... I hope he can display his martial arts virtues , Do more things for the country, but Cao Cao used this resource arbitrarily, used power arbitrarily, acted viciously, and killed virtuous people.
...Cao Cao was defeated in Xuzhou, his headquarters was taken by Lv Bu, and he wandered in the east and west battlefields without even the most basic base. Hand... General Yuan may not be kind to the people of Yanzhou, but to Cao Cao, it can be said that he is benevolent and righteous.
Soon, the emperor was dusted... General Yuan Yuan couldn't distract him, so he dispatched his middle-aged man Xu Xun to assist Cao Cao in repairing the suburban temple and protect the young emperor. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao took the opportunity to control the court, threatened the emperor, ministers, and humiliated the royal family. When the laws and regulations are broken, those he loves will enjoy the glory of the five clans, and those he hates will destroy the three clans.Those who dare to criticize publicly will be executed, and those who criticize behind the scenes will be assassinated.
Therefore, Taiwei Yang Biao, a high-ranking and dignified man, was falsely accused of a felony and tortured because of a small conflict with Cao Cao;The tomb of Emperor Liang Xiao's mother and brother is an important place for national sacrifices. In order to greed for money, Cao Cao ordered officials to excavate the tomb, break the coffin and naked corpse, and plunder the treasures inside.Cao Cao intensified his efforts, set up a tomb robbery team, and appointed officials to take charge of this shameless act, so that no bones were exposed wherever he went. ...Looking at the politics of the past dynasties, officials without morality, greed, cruelty, and Cao Cao are the most serious. General Yuan was doing his best to deal with the rebellion in the north and had no time to rectify the internal situation, so he has been tolerant to Cao Cao, hoping that he will repent.However, Cao Cao's wild ambitions, hidden schemes, and delusional attempts to destroy the pillars of the country, weaken the Han court, eliminate loyal officials, and despise the government as a hero. ...
Now Cao Cao had no choice but to settle in the barn. With the natural barrier of the Yellow River, he wanted to block the wheel of history with the arm of a praying mantis. The general Yuan Shao followed the mighty spirit of the Han Dynasty, and his army went south to cross the Yellow River, approaching the front line of Cao Cao's camp, and Jingzhou supported him. Behind Cao Ying, the friendly army of the royal family's righteous force is preparing to attack. The righteous force has become destructive, and the autumn wind is sweeping away the fallen leaves.With Cao Cao's meager strength, he cannot escape the fate of destruction.
Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, discipline is at an end, there are no ministers in the court who are assistants, and there are no loyal ministers who are as loyal as a shoulder, so they can desperately contend with Cao Cao...
Furthermore, Cao Cao led elite imperial guards to surround the palace. They were called guards, but they actually held the emperor hostage by force. This was clearly an act of treason and usurpation...
Now, Cao Cao falsely passed on the emperor's orders and dispatched troops from all over the country.Therefore, General Yuan was worried that the far-flung legions, ignorant of the truth of Cao Cao's rebellion, would send troops to help the emperor and be deceived by Cao Cao, which would be ridiculed by the people of insight all over the world, so he made this announcement to the whole country.
From now on, the generals will march together from the four prefectures of You, Bing, Qing, and Ji, and will cooperate with Jingzhou Jianzhong General Liu Biao with documents to create momentum.The army regiments of all states and counties across the country also invite them to reorganize their rebel armies and rejuvenate the country to make extraordinary contributions.
Those who can kill Cao Cao's head will be granted the title of Marquis of 5,000 households and rewarded with 50 million yuan.Cao Cao's troops are benevolent generals and officials, and if there is an act of surrender, the past will not be blamed.Propaganda of kindness, announcement to the world, I hope that everyone will go to the national crisis together, and all actions will abide by the laws of the country, hereby declare. Cao Mengde read the call to action, the people around did not dare to break out in sweat, and the air seemed extremely solemn.
Cao Mengde flapped his nostrils lightly, crumpled the call to arms, and said, "The literary talent is pretty good, and the person who drafted the call to action seems quite talented."
Kong Rong said, "It must have come from Kong Zhang."
"Kong Zhang, oh, I just remembered, it's Chen Lin who used to be the master of the Han Ling Emperor." Cao Mengde said.
"Yes, that's him. This person is indifferent to fame, but he is honest." Kong Rong said, feeling a cold sweat for Chen Lin.
"This is the nature of most literati. Confucius said: 'No official is no righteousness'. Those who are capable are unwilling to become an official. Even Kong Zhongni looks down on him. Chen Lin is just a corrupt scholar. How can I argue with him. Haha ..." Cao Mengde laughed out loud after speaking.
The tense atmosphere was driven away by Cao Mengde's laughter.He suddenly announced: "We will hold a celebration banquet tonight to celebrate the fourth anniversary of us welcoming the emperor to Xuchang!"
"Yes, it's been four years." Xun Yu suddenly remembered.
Liu Dai and Wang Zhong fled back from Xuzhou in embarrassment, which was what Cao Mengde expected.He didn't want to punish the two, but Liu Dai and Wang Zhong praised Liu Bei in front of everyone for how generous he loved and sympathized with the people.
After Cao Mengde heard this, he was furious: "Open your dog eyes and look, this Yanzhou area is now the land has its own owner, and the people have food and clothing. Am I, Cao Mengde, a lone husband and a thief?" , Wang two people.
Kong Rong remonstrated: "The two of them attacked Liu Bei. They used eggs to attack rocks. It is not easy to persist for such a long time. If you kill them, who will dare to be your pawn in the future?"
Cao Mengde felt that Kong Rong's words were emotional and reasonable, so they were spared the death penalty.
"It seems that Yuan Shao and Liu Bei are going to fight me to the death. The combined strength of these two people is nothing to fear. If Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao form an alliance with them again, then our prospects will be bad." Cao Mengde put his hands behind his back, He was pacing up and down, looking a little restless. "We should send people to recruit Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao first, then plan for Xuzhou, and finally deal with Yuan Shao." Kong Rong stated his opinion.
Cao Mengde caressed Kong Rong's back affectionately, and said: "Only a literati like you is valuable. You can not only put everything on the pen, but also keep the world in your shape."
