"No words?" Cao Cao was a little surprised and then laughed again, "Ah, the emperor has grown up..."

"Ming Gong..." Xun Yu said again, "But this... is a hidden danger after all..."

Xun Yu originally knew that Cao Cao would do it, and to some extent he acquiesced to this matter, but what Xun Yu did not expect was that Cheng Yu's knife was too sharp. He was bleeding when he cut it down with one knife, and it was indiscriminate. It could be said that he was killing and scouting his house, sending food and grass all the way, making meat shops all the way, which was simply a one-stop service...

When Xun Yu originally agreed to it, he thought that killing a few was similar to killing a chicken to warn monkeys. However, he didn't expect that not only killing a chicken, but also slaughtering the monkeys together!

Moreover, seeing that there were signs of coming from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, he hurried to look for Cao Cao.

Xun Yu understood Cao Cao's helplessness in raising the butcher's knife, but Xun Yu felt that those innocent people should not die.

This contradictory mentality made Xun Yu very embarrassed.

The key is that Cheng Yu not only searched the house, but also made these people into jerky meat...

It's somewhat inhumane.

"Ming Gong," Xun Yu lowered his head, and his hand hidden inside his sleeve was deeply pinched into his palm. "Zi said, "Killing without teaching is called abuse."... Today, Zhongde's killing was too much... at least he was exempted from the blame of the elderly and the young, and stopped the punishment of burning and burning...

Xun Yu's meaning is naturally to slow down.

This is related to his usual compromise habits...

As an important core figure in the Cao family's political group, Xun Yu can be said to have been deeply involved since Cao Cao's beginning, and he was still highly influential until the late Cao Cao period in history. He tried to remain sober in the vortex of political power at the end of the Han Dynasty, and wanted to use the turbid world in a clear manner and to master the way of classics and control the art of hegemony. But in fact, he could only transform into a martyrdom totem through political compromises again and again.

The Xun family in Yingchuan has a certain secret connection with its local gentry and gentry, so Xun Yu will inevitably fall into a dilemma between "loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty" and "representatives of the family". He is now here to persuade Cao Cao, just like he was in history where he assisted Cao Cao in becoming king and dominance, and tried to preserve the dignity of the royal family.

Xun Yu was not an incompetent person. In his early years, he joined Cao Cao instead of betting on the two Yuan like most of the children of the gentry. This is enough to prove that his vision is stronger than that of ordinary children of the gentry. Moreover, he packaged the Yingchuan gentry and deeply tied up the Cao family's military group, which was also an attempt to transform the Jingxue gentry into a real-powered family, which is also a successful case in the transformation of the gentry family in the late Han Dynasty.

Xun Yu packaged Cao Cao's subordinates into generals and counselors who had been in the early Han Dynasty in many public occasions. In fact, he was also creating a theoretical basis for Cao Cao, revealing his deep motivation to use Confucian etiquette to pave the way for Cao to serve the Han Dynasty. However, when Cao Cao began to take action, Xun Yu expressed his opposition again...

Of course, perhaps Xun Yu's opposition to Cao Cao as king in history was not simply to maintain the Han Dynasty, but to foresee that if Cao Cao's plan was truly implemented, then the gentry clans at the end of the Han Dynasty would completely become vassals of the military merit group. His final way of death was full of metaphors, and perhaps he wanted to use death to preserve his last dignity.

From beginning to end, Xun Yu tried to use benevolence to package hegemony, and tried to use the "Classic Meaning" of the Spring and Autumn Period to restrict the expansion of Cao Cao's "power", but in fact it was not feasible. Although he had a political image of "elegant and majestic", because his core was not firm and his swaying left and right also led to the polarization of his evaluation of him in later generations.

Either a loyal minister or a sinner.

In fact, people like Xun Yu will appear at the end of the turbulent feudal dynasty.

In history, at the critical juncture of Cao Cao's reign, Xun Yu's opposition was essentially the last time the gentry of the late Han Dynasty tried to use the framework of classics to restrain military power. But it was obvious that Xun Yu failed, and his death also marked the unshakable military power of the Cao family. However, the lack of Cao's military power also led to Sima Yi's crazy counterattack in the later period...

Anyway, there is a reason for every pecking and drinking.

From this perspective, it seems easy to understand that Xun Yu came to stop Cao Cao...

Even Xun Yu knew in his heart that this was Cao Cao's last chance.

Perhaps it was the last madness.

But Xun Yu is still here.

If Cao Cao had read Gu Long's book, he might have come with Wen Ruo or had not been a secret code, but unfortunately there was no.

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu, and although he had a smile on his face, he felt very uncomfortable.

『Han Fei said, "A rock with a thousand miles is not rich; a person with a million people is not strong." Cao Cao knocked on the table, "Now there is a stone in Yanzhou. If Wen teaches me, why are you not rich or strong?"

The bronze goose and fish lamp sucked the faint light, and Cao Cao bent his fingers and tapped the Yanzhou map on the table, and his murderous aura rose in his eyes.

Xun Yu sighed slightly, "In the past, Guan Zhong ruled Qi, and became a domineering for three years. The key is not to collect all the sea salt, but to "what the common people want, so they give it." Today, the Ming Dynasty used the power of the public will inevitably suffer resentment. If the cavalry came, wouldn't it force them to surrender to the west?"

Cao Cao nodded, "Wen Ruo said very much...but if someone had not been punished... If the cavalry came, would he welcome him without raising his head?"

『This…』 Xun Yu suddenly got stuck, and then sighed with regret, 『Maybe for it…』

『Haha…』 Cao Cao sneered twice, 『This is it... Duke Huan of Qi combined with the princes, relying on benevolence and righteousness? Since the war last year, food and supplies are exhausted and materials are in urgent need of them. But what are these people? If it weren't for Cheng Zhongde breaking the dock to get grain, the bones in front of the hall today might have been higher than the pillars!"

What Cao Cao said may be a bit exaggerated, but it also conforms to the current situation.

The situation is already very urgent.

The death of Cao Chun in Youzhou not only means that the defense line in Youzhou in the north completely collapsed, but also means that Jizhou is about to face the attack of the Northern Region Army of the Cavalry. Will those guys in Jizhou support Cao Cao wholeheartedly?

So this chicken in Yanzhou naturally had to be killed.

Of course, if the chicken is killed, it may not be possible to really scare the monkey.

Some monkeys may be scared and dare not act rashly, but may also accelerate the escape behavior of other monkeys...

But no matter what action the monkey did, it was acceptable to Cao Cao.

If you are scared, you can naturally draw more blood.

Those who escape, kill those who can catch them, and those who can’t catch them can also make money from monkeys’ nests...

It’s not a loss to both sides.

Xun Yu could not refute what Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao did not wait for Xun Yu to answer, and continued, "In the past, when the two Zhangs were in Yanzhou, Yan was the eunuch and rebelled. Later, he fought against the two Yuans in the north and south, and secretly communicated with the brothel... If someone did not suppress it now... Wen Ruo thought what would happen? The benevolent act was not something that someone did not want, but it was impossible."

What Cao Cao said is also true.

But the problem is that Cao Cao is also changing his concepts.

However, this kind of behavior was allowed in feudal dynasties.

For example, if you are guilty of slander, or fantasy, etc., even if you don’t take a photo, as long as you think about it, it is a crime. After all, the writer Lu said that his white arms...

Of course, the most critical point is that if Cao Cao did not kill these people, where did the food and supplies needed to fight with Fei Qian?

Will these people be willing to send them?

Xun Yu understood that some of the reasons given by Cao Cao were reasonable and some unreasonable, but he could not solve the problems faced by Cao Cao, just as he could not solve the big problem of Fei Qian in Guanzhong.

Just when Xun Yu was still considering how to preserve more names of the children of the gentry as much as possible and kill less, suddenly a soldier came in a hurry, with a look of panic on his face.

When Cao Cao and Xun Yu saw this scene, they all suddenly felt aroused in their hearts...

"Report to the Prime Minister! Luoyang... Luoyang is in a fall!"
