Beat up Tao Qian as well?
Cao Cao was stunned and subconsciously asked,""How?"
He was not in a hurry to beat Tao Qian up.
Tao Qian had already been beaten up by Cao Cao.
Chen Mu's eyes flickered with a cold light." We'll attack Xu Prefecture again in the name of Tao Qian's assassination of the Great Grandfather!"”
"Unless Tao Qian kills himself and apologizes, the envoy will take the city. The soldiers and civilians in the city, regardless of their status, will all be kidnapped to Yanzhou to avenge the death of the old great-grandfather!”
"If a famous official who is close to Tao Qian comes to persuade him to surrender, kill the famous official to intensify the conflict.”
"There are powerful clans in Yanzhou who are not willing to submit to you. They will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.”
"When they raise their troops, you will lead the army to attack and destroy the private troops of these aristocratic families!”
"After that, we can divide and suppress them, and Yanzhou will be settled!”
"This plan is to lure the snake out of its hole!"
So ruthless!
Cao Cao was secretly shocked.
Moving the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou would definitely cause conflicts with the local clans and powerful families of Yanzhou.
And killing a famous official would intensify the conflict between Cao Cao and the aristocratic families!
Using this conflict, he would make the indignant Yanzhou aristocratic families and tyrants come out to stir up trouble. Then, he would kill the head of the family and make an example of them.
As for the rest of the aristocratic families, they would divide a portion, rope in another portion, and suppress another portion. Naturally, no one would dare to cause trouble!
There are also soft persimmons among the despotic families.
Without the thorny head, the powerful clans would also have to obediently submit!
At that time.
Cao Cao would be able to appoint more trusted aides to manage Yanzhou!
Although…
This would tarnish Cao Cao's reputation among the gentry, but Cao Cao did not care about it.
No matter how he maintained his reputation, he could not change the infamy of being an eunuch and an ugly person.
Cao Cao was also a refined egoist. When he could gain fame, he would naturally spare no effort to gain it.
However, if he had to choose between benefits and reputation, Cao Cao was more inclined to choose benefits!
Although Cao Cao agreed with Chen Mu's plan, he did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked,""Although this plan is good, if the scholars are disappointed, the governance of Yanzhou will become difficult.”
"Could it be that your ambition is only in Yanzhou?" Chen Mu laughed.”
"My ambition is to sweep the world clean. How can I only stay in Yanzhou?"”
"Since you're determined to rule the world, why should you care too much about the governance of Yanzhou?" Chen Mu said solemnly.”
"This plan to lure the snake out of its hole is only to deal with the aristocratic families who want to cause trouble and have the ability to do so. It is not a plan for the long-term stability of Yanzhou!”
"Envoy, your horizons are further!”
"If you want to quickly gain a good reputation, there's no better way than to save the emperor!”
"Although Dong Zhuo is dead, there are still people like Li Jue and Guo Si who will bring disaster to Chang 'an!”
"If you have the intention, you can go west to Tongguan and rescue the emperor.”
To serve the Son of Heaven and make him disobedient?
Cao Cao suddenly stood up. The confusion in his heart seemed to have been swept away in an instant!
That's right!
How could I have overlooked Tian Zi!
Welcome the emperor, carry out the affairs of Yi Yin and Huo Guang, patrol the four directions on behalf of the emperor, sweep the world in the name of the emperor, wipe out the thieves, who in the world dares to say that I Cao Cao is a eunuch and an ugly person?
"Listening to your words, it's like seeing the clouds and fog.”
"Please accept my bow!"
Cao Cao bowed sincerely.
Let's not talk about anything else.
However, the words 'disobeying the emperor's orders' were enough to make Cao Cao admire Chen Mu's wisdom!
"Jing Lue is a genius of the world. Can you help me?”
"I, Cao Cao, am willing to treat you as a distinguished guest!”
"I also swear that I will never betray Jing Lue like Liu Xuande because of the pressure from the aristocratic families.”
"If I break this oath, my descendants will die an unnatural death!”
Cao Cao's oath was ruthless!
This was an era where being unfilial and having no descendants was the greatest.
It could be said that the most vicious oath was to end one's bloodline!
Even if Cao Cao was a refined egoist, he would not easily swear that he would not have any descendants.
This oath was a promise to Chen Mu!
Cao Cao knew very well that Chen Mu had just been betrayed by Liu Bei. Although he had come to join him, he must have been worried and afraid.
If she could not make up her mind, it would be impossible for her to receive Chen Mu's dedication!
Cao Cao was cunning and treacherous, but he was also ruthless to himself!
Chen Mu was rather touched.
How many people would not be touched by a 'capable minister of the world and a treacherous hero of the chaotic world', who swore to cut off his descendants in order to dispel the doubts of the wise men?
"Ming Gong, you don't have to do this!"
"I, Chen Mu, was originally a commoner. I was fortunate enough to learn martial arts.”
"The chaotic world is miserable and the people are tired. I am willing to work with you to sweep away the bandits!”
When Cao Cao saw that Chen Mu had changed the way he addressed him and was no longer addressing him as the " envoy ", he was overjoyed. He quickly helped Chen Mu up and said,""I have Jing Lue, just like Gaozu has Zhang Liang, a great event can be expected!”
