Chapter three hundred and sixty-four people in troubled times
"Zichuan, how many refugees have we gathered now? $().(23)(w)(x).()" Liu Bei asked while sitting in the Tan County seat and looking at his civil and military personnel.
Originally, Chen Xi was supposed to lead an army alone, but before leaving Mount Tai, the intelligence from Xuzhou turned out that he needed supplies rather than 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, and 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 a population of close to one million in the northern part of Xuzhou, because the people who left their hometowns after the massacre should not only have this small number." Liu Bei's face was a little gloomy when he said this, for fear 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 began to murmur in disbelief.
"Didn't we have intelligence that Cao Cao massacred 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's army in Xuzhou, but now he was told that he killed the wrong person.
, how can Zhao Yun give up?
"Based on our investigation, it is no longer Cao's army that 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 were really killed by Cao Cao? There is no accurate data on this." Jia Xu said helplessly. In view of the accuracy required for intelligence, he was not prepared to come up with data that was purely based on guesswork.
Chen Xi also had an estimate on this aspect. 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 it is in this situation where multiple forces compete 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 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. He did not comment on Cao Cao's actions.
"It is now clear that there are two groups, one is Que Xuan, and the other is Zuo Rong. Que Xuan's purpose is very clear. It is purely to take the opportunity to undermine Tao Gong's reputation in order to achieve his own rise. As for Zuo Rong, it seems that he is just
They are taking this opportunity to search for wealth." Jia Xu said calmly, "Among them, Zuo Rong is huge, with over 10,000 soldiers and 3,000 horses, and has already ravaged several counties."
"How dare you do this, thief!" Liu Bei said angrily, taking pictures of several cases.
"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 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
He showed his majestic and domineering side, and he would never show mercy to these massacrers.
"Here!" Zhao Yun bowed and then withdrew directly from the government office, preparing to send troops to attack and kill Zuo Rong.
"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. Liu Bei's face sank into the water after listening, "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 they are thugs disguised as Cao Jun, or Que Xuan, Zuo Rong and others under the banner of Cao Jun, they are all the targets I want to kill. As for Cao Bao you mentioned
, let alone 70%, even if it is 10%, he should die! Those who kill without reason must die!" Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu with cold eyes, and said in front of everyone without any concealment that he was completely different from before.
In terms of style.
"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 about small things and investigate, 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 guy who adds fuel to the flames.
"I suggest directly resettling the people of Xuzhou on-site and rebuilding their residences." 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 also did not conform to his standards.
"Only in this way can we be free to deal with Cao Mengde in a short period of time. Compared to forces like Que Xuan and Zuo Rong that we can destroy by just sending one person, Cao Mengde is our real enemy. Continue to deal with the refugees in Xuzhou
If the delay continues, unless military control is implemented, we will not be able to deal with Cao Mengde at all." Chen Xi said solemnly.
"My lord, please think again. 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 shed, for us, need to be specific about the other person's food, clothing, housing and transportation." Li You also sighed and said.
Liu Bei's actions made Li You not know what to say, but he also clearly understood that this was the kindness of Liu Bei's vow to treat all people in the world. (To be continued...)
