Cao Cao kept praising Zhang Liao and expressed his trust in Zhang Liao. However, in fact, Cao Cao repeatedly and repeatedly "using troops" to Zhang Liao from beginning to end. Li Dian, who was born in a powerful local household, had the power of 13,000 clan disciples, which also made Cao Cao worry. Therefore, although Le Jin was good at attacking difficulties, he was assigned to garrison tasks and deliberately protected them. He sat in Hefei with his fellow Yanzhou Xue Ti'an, and the logic behind it was clear at a glance.

In the Battle of Hefei, Zhang Liao wore armor and defeated Sun Quan. Li Dian, who went to war with him, died shortly after the war. Although there was no clear statement, it can basically be speculated that he was seriously injured in this battle, and was extremely troubled, and even was chased by Cao Pi, who was narrow-minded, and "postuated by Dian Hou Min".

"In a country, encounter difficulties" is called Min.

Most of the posthumous posthumous people who died on the battlefield.

It can be said that in Cao Cao's mind in history, he probably had made the worst plans at that time. After learning the outcome of the Battle of Hefei, he was amazed. It must be that the results of the battle were too unexpected. Cao Cao might even have been mentally prepared to sacrifice Zhang Liao and Li Dian, so he was particularly generous in rewarding afterwards. Zhang Liao went from a fifth-rank general with a miscellaneous number to a second-rank general with a permanent position in the war.

According to historical records, "Taizu Da Zhuang Liao", the word "Da Zhuang" only appeared twice, once to Zhang Liao and once to Xu Sheng.

Such "knowing people and responsibilities" is a fight with your life.

Or in other words, Cao Cao only believes in a person's words and deeds at the critical moment of life and death. He feels that only in such extreme situations can he show the most real quality and can he be the most important basis for judging whether to use this person.

During the previous rebellion in Xuxian County, Cao Cao did this. He created a life-and-death situation and then hid in the dark to observe.

This time, Qiao County was martial law and the four townships were searched, and Cao Cao was also observing.

Foreign surnames need to be careful, but don’t you need to be careful in your internal family?

How many people are truly loyal in the Cao Xiahou family, and how many are just superficial loyalty?

Cao Cao's action this time was not directed at Xiahou Dun, but mainly tested the members of the Cao family and Xiahou family. Xiahou Dun was just by the way. Of course, Xiahou Dun's performance once again made Cao Cao confirm Xiahou Dun's "character", that is, he was more trustworthy.

There is no doubt that Xiahou Dun passed the "test" again.

But what about others?

Cao Cao now almost doubts everyone...

"Now Qiao County is in chaos, Ji and Henan are empty, and there are cavalry envoys coming from the west..." Cao Cao raised his wine glass and rubbed it in his hand, showing a look of sarcasm on his face. "Under heavy punishment, there will inevitably be chaos within the Xiahou clan of the Cao family, and there are many people involved... In addition, the surrounding counties and counties are the first to take positions, so there must be some disagreements and difficult government orders... Yuan Rang, how many people will jump out this time?"

Xiahou Dun was silent for a while, "Brother, I actually don't want anyone to jump out..."

『Ahhh!』 Cao Cao laughed, 『I don't want it either! But if these guys have a different intention, whether they are inside or outside the clan, it is the right way to deal with it as soon as possible! Otherwise, we... we... we are so big that the world is hard tolerate the second masters!"

After pausing for a while, Cao Cao said again: "Yuan Rang, do you know how rampant the corrupt people have reached now?"

"Dun knows a little." Xiahou Dun replied.

Cao Cao nodded, then sighed: "Now, Shandong is full of things, and everything is big or small, and everything is charged! If you don't give money, you can't do anything! There is no place in Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Qingzhou, which is clean! If you don't clean it, you and I will be overwhelmed by this dust! Being crushed to death under this decay!"

Xiahou Dun was silent for a long time, "Brother, but if you really want to take action... the risk is also very high..."

『Haha, people live for a lifetime and have many worries! Only good wine can relieve their sorrows!』 Cao Cao would not answer Xiahou Dun's worries, but raised his glass again and sang loudly, 『Singing wine, how much life is? It's like morning dew, the past is full of suffering! Drink it, drink it!"

Two glasses of wine.

Two people.

The shadows of the trees around them are swaying, like ghosts and monsters dancing in their teeth.

What Cao Cao had to do was much more difficult than letting the drunkard quit drinking and the smoker quit smoking.
