Chapter 519: Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
I have to say that what Chen Gui said was subversive to Chen Deng. You must know that his childhood education has been to fight for the interests of the family, but now Chen Gui wants him to sacrifice his family for everyone, which makes him a little confused.
Already.
"Father, I don't understand?"
Looking at his confused son, Chen Gui smiled slightly.
"Now you only need to remember one thing, that is, Yuan Shu is your god. As long as he wants to, even if it is his father's head, you have to send it to him with a smile. As for why, you will naturally know in the future. I
I am going to take my grandson to Jizhou Academy to study tomorrow, please prepare yourself."
After Chen Gui finished speaking, he ignored Chen Deng who was standing there and left the hall directly, heading straight for his yard.
After Chen Gui left, Chen Deng was left in the hall thinking about what he meant. However, after thinking for a long time, Chen Deng couldn't figure it out. He could only laugh at himself and return to his room.
Early the next morning, Yuan Shu once again gathered Xuzhou's civil and military forces together.
"Xuzhou civil and military officials obey orders."
Seeing that everyone was here, Yuan Shu was too lazy to talk nonsense.
"I made Zhang Zhao the chief registrar of Xuzhou, and temporarily exercised the power of state pastor on my behalf. He will sort out everything in Xuzhou. All officials must cooperate fully, and any disobedience will be punished without mercy."
As soon as Yuan Shu said these words, except for the three people from yesterday, the rest of the people in the lobby had shocked expressions on their faces.
Zhang Zhao was originally just a criminal who was imprisoned by Tao Qian. Now Yuan Shu has arrived and has directly become the actual controller of Xuzhou. Is this really justified?
It's just one step to reach the sky.
In front of everyone, Yuan Shu slowly handed the big seal symbolizing Xuzhou Mu's position into Zhang Zhao's hands.
"Zhang Zhao takes the order."
"Chen Deng."
"My subordinate is here."
"Now you are removed from your position as Dian Nong Xiaowei, and appointed as the governor of Guangling. You will replace Zhao Yu to guard the south of Xuzhou. You will be responsible for all matters in Guangling County, but anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."
"Chen Deng takes the order."
"Zibu."
"exist."
"Immediately draw up a state pastoral order to transfer Zhao Yu back to Xiapi and put him under your command."
"promise."
Now that the matter with the civilian officials has been settled, the next thing to do is with the military attachés.
"Zang Ba."
The first thing Yuan Shu ordered was not Cao Bao, but Zang Ba who was standing next to him.
"My subordinate is here."
Zang Ba stepped forward and bowed to Yuan Shu, who was in the first place.
"Now I grant you the title of Xuzhou Biejia, general against bandits. All the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou are under your command. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy."
"Zang Ba takes the order."
There was joy in Zang Ba's eyes. Yuan Shu announced this information in front of everyone. His position as Xuzhou Bijia was now confirmed.
"Cao Bao."
The next person Yuan Shu named was Tao Qian's confidant and Lu Bu's future father-in-law, Cao Bao.
Hearing Yuan Shu call his name, Cao Bao's heart skipped a beat. Although the post of Xuzhou Biejia had been given to Zang Ba, he believed that he would not be too bad, so he showed an expression of ecstasy on his face and stepped out to the direction.
Yuan Shu cupped his fists and saluted.
"My subordinate is here."
"I will appoint you as the captain of the field camp. You will go north to Bohai County in Jizhou and be responsible for the field affairs there."
As soon as Yuan Shu finished speaking, Cao Bao's original expression of ecstasy instantly turned into panic. What's going on? The first two were promoted to high positions, so how come he was sent to the frontier when he got here?
The strength of the Cao family is not small, but it is only in Xuzhou. If he really wants to serve as a military commander in Bohai County, he will probably be blind for the rest of his life. He does not want such an outcome.
"Sir, I don't know what mistakes Cao Bao has made. Zang Ba, a small cavalry captain, can be awarded the title of general. Don't worry about Xuzhou. I, Cao Bao, am the son of a famous family, but you want to transfer me to Bohai County. I want to
An explanation."
"Nothing else, it's just that there is a shortage of people in Bohai County, and Xuzhou doesn't need you for the time being."
Yuan Shu looked at Cao Bao with a slight smile on his face. Others are wary of your Cao family's strength in Xuzhou, but to him, these are just rotten fish and shrimps.
"Then I forgive Cao Bao for not being able to obey his orders and leave."
Sensing Yuan Shu's indifference, Cao Bao had nothing more to say and walked out directly.
"I said that Xuzhou officials, big and small, must cooperate fully. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy. I am giving you a chance to decide whether to go to Bohai County or not."
Seeing Cao Bao about to leave, Yuan Shu sneered.
"Hmph, my Cao family has lived in Xuzhou for generations and is a wealthy family in Xuzhou. Now that Xuzhou has just been established, you have offended the wealthy families in Xuzhou by promoting Zang Ba and belittling Cao Bao. Now I don't believe that you, the majestic Zhou Mu, dare to take the risk of disapproval.
, kill me Cao Bao, don’t you want Xuzhou?
Ha ha ha ha."
Upon hearing Yuan Shu's words, Cao Bao didn't even look back and walked out of the door laughing.
"My lord, Cao Bao has no one in his sight. Zang Ba asks for orders to kill Cao Bao and destroy the Cao family in order to capture the young people in Xuzhou."
Seeing that Cao Bao was disrespectful to Yuan Shu, Zang Ba's eyes were full of anger. The so-called master humiliated his ministers to death, and Cao Bao was like this. Zang Ba really couldn't bear it.
"Haha, since Cao Bao thinks that I, Yuan Shu, am a man of clay, then I will let him know what Yuan Shu means when he is angry, the ground is thousands of miles away, and Zang Ba."
Yuan Shu didn't look angry. Is this guy Cao Bao also a member of a wealthy family?
If his heir had such a master, he would just slap him against the wall and kill him, so as not to bring death to the family.
"My subordinate is here."
Zang Ba clasped his fists again.
"Cao Bao is disobedient and his crime cannot be punished. He will quickly lead his troops to raid his home. At the same time, he will thoroughly investigate all the people who have contact with the Cao family. Anyone who is involved will be punished by law."
Although Yuan Shu's words were spoken in an understatement, the bloody smell in them had already entered the river and enveloped the entire lobby.
"promise."
After Zang Ba said this, he turned around and left the hall, running towards the military camp.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
After giving instructions to Zang Ba, Yuan Shu glanced at the ministers in the hall.
"We will respectfully follow your orders and assist Master Zhang in stabilizing Xuzhou."
This is what they call killing chickens to scare monkeys. The Cao family is a well-known family in Xuzhou. They kill whenever Yuan Shu says, and destroy them whenever Yuan Shu says. What else can they do?
Follow Cao Bao to death?
"Okay, let's go down separately, Zibu, Yuanlong, Jingxing, you stay here, I have something to talk about."
Since everyone is so cooperative, there is no need for Yuan Shu to do anything dangerous. After all, there is still a place in Xuzhou that he does not have in his hands.
"Lord, are you keeping us here for the sake of Yuan Shao's troops in the south?"
Zhang Zhao is a smart man, and now the only ones who can make Yuan Shu keep them are the soldiers and horses from the south who are still in Xuzhou.
"Well, this is indeed what I want to talk to you about. I am Xuzhou Mu, so naturally I cannot let Xuzhou Territory fall into the hands of others."
