When the heads of these two ministers were hung on the top of the city, their bloody appearance was so fucking scary.

It seemed as if a gust of divine wind was blowing. The ministers and families who were crying and crying and were almost unable to extricate the blame all the noble families came to Liu Xie and said that they and others were extremely distressed when they saw the suffering of Shouchun. As the emperor's most loyal minister, the pillars of the Han Dynasty and the parents of the people, how could they watch the people ignore the dilemma? Even though the ministers and the aristocratic families behind them were also in dire straits, they naturally set an example without hesitation.

The above high-sounding words were forced out. They were the results obtained by Cao Cao and Xun with a knife to greet them deeply. If Cao Cao had not given Xun the order to let go, Xun would have been self-proclaimed and would have been laughed at by these ministers.

Xun seemed to have a more at ease with a knife in his hand. As long as this guy is revealed, no matter how big a temper, he will have to give in. Xun couldn't help but despise these ministers even more. If he had known this, why would he have been there?

It would be impossible for the ministers to take out money and food obediently. They didn't believe what Xun would do before. Xun always gave people a wise man who was not good at speaking, but when this wise man started to do something, he was so straightforward. Without saying a word, the lives of the two ministers in the court were over. The heads of the people were hung on the head of the city. People who didn't know thought how much hatred they had.

These ministers are all stupid, and they don’t think about who Cao Cao is? Will he threaten them? Cao Cao had thought of this point long ago, giving Xun great power.

Finally, these ministers took out the money and grain from their homes in their hearts. Xun sent a large number of people to accept the kindness of the ministers. It was said that they were receiving them, but in the eyes of the ministers, there was no difference between robbery. No matter what, the ministers were bleeding profusely, Xun was very happy. These ministers were crying about how difficult it was. Now so much money and grain is simply a slap in the face. Xun smiled and took the money and grain into the treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Liu Xie was disappointed with these ministers when they saw that these ministers were heartbroken and were immediately disappointed with them. Before, Liu Xie hoped that these ministers could take the initiative to take the initiative, and even if they took out part of them, they could gain a huge reputation, and Liu Xie's reputation could also increase a lot. However, these ministers were extremely selfish and did not listen to Liu Xie's golden and jade-like words at all. Now, when Xun, a wise man, took out his knife, you couldn't even bleed. Liu Xie couldn't help feeling sad. He, the emperor, actually spoke in front of the ministers without any weight. To put it nicely, these ministers were all loyal to him, but Liu Xie could see from this matter that except for Dong Cheng, the few who were absolutely perfect.

To be loyal, the others almost treat Liu Xie as a banner against Cao Cao, and it is a completely utilizing the situation. Liu Xie has grown up very quickly over the years. If it weren’t for almost all of them being undermined by Cao Cao, he might have made a career, but this can only be said to be possible. There has been a Liu Yu in the world, and the princes do not want another emperor who is as powerful as Liu Yu and has an orthodox status. Liu Xie’s current embarrassing identity is exactly what the princes need most. The princes need the character Liu Xie as a banner, as their name is to help Liu Xie restore the orthodox map, but in fact, for their own interests. This is Liu Xie’s sadness.

The ministers were very dissatisfied with the charges Xun gave to the two ministers. They were both loyal to Liu Xie, so how could they intend to rebel? After Xun moved their family's money and food, they began to express their dissatisfaction in front of Liu Xie.

Liu Xie had no expression. Xun gave these two ministers the crime of intentional rebellion. This crime is very serious, but there is room for operation. Intentional rebellion is not real rebellion, but it depends on who is operating it. Xun first killed these two ministers and made it into a certain fact. Everyone died and nothing can be changed. If Liu Xie wanted to pursue the matter, Xun could find a lot of evidence to prove that his actions were right. It is impossible to kill the person and rescue him. It would be too easy to frame the dead. Xun is a top strategist. To do such a thing is as simple as eating and drinking water. It can be completely impossible to find any doubts.

Since that's the case, Liu Xie was too lazy to care about this mess. Anyway, those two ministers died, so what should I do to do such a waste of time? It would be better to spend the extra time on how to enhance one's own strength. It would be better to leave a way out in the future.

Liu Xie didn't care about this matter, and the ministers and the aristocratic families behind him could only hide the suffering in their hearts.

After Xun solved Shouchun's urgent need, he began to vigorously deal with the aftermath of Shouchun. The people spontaneously came out to find the bodies of their families, and then found a Feng Shui treasure land to bury them, and buried them in peace. The whole family died, so the government found a place to gather them and burn them. Xun knew that such a thing was inhumane in the Han Dynasty, but in order not to have a huge plague, he had to do it. The ancients emphasized that they were buried in peace, and they were not allowed to use cremation unless they had to. Xun was risking his reputation to destroy it.

As the work of cleaning up the bodies was over, the specific number of people who died in Shouchun City this time was revealed. Xun saw this number and was completely dismayed. This number far exceeded Xun's expectations. Xun did not disclose this specific number of deaths, but instead collected the number of deaths and other losses into a book and sent it to Cao Cao through secret channels.

Afterwards, Xun quickly prepared five thousand soldiers and corresponding food and grass, sent them to Cao Cao who was in the city to support Cao Cao's defense against Liu Jun.

After receiving Xun's report, Cao Cao kicked the table in front of him angrily and cursed: "Damn it! Jia Wen is so poisonous to you! Liu Yu, you deserve to die!"

Shouchun's losses were caused by Jia Xu, and Jia Xu was Liu Yu's minister, so Liu Yu took the blame.

Guo Jia hurried to Cao Cao and asked, "Shouchun's losses are very serious!"

Cao Cao nodded heavily, and then took Xun's report to Guo Jia for a look.

After reading it, Guo Jia's face was heavy and he said sadly: "I didn't expect that a flood would cause our army's losses to be so huge!"

"With filial piety, this matter cannot be made public!" Cao Cao reminded.

Guo Jia nodded quietly. He understood Cao Cao's intention. Shouchun's losses were too serious, so serious that Guo Jia felt that he could not bear it. If this situation spread, the entire Yuzhou would probably be shocked, causing great panic, and it would be very unfavorable for Cao Cao to resist the invasion of Liu's army.

Guo Jia needs to be more safe and said, "Lord, I suggest that you can inform the world of the losses in Yuzhou. It is best to be at ease with the people!"

Guo Jia’s suggestion is that when Yuzhou encounters floods, all forces will definitely inquire about the specifics and reality. Since this is the case, it is better for Cao Cao to say the situation in Yuzhou relatively lightly and not let other princes know the specific details. It can even make the people in Yuzhou who do not know the situation. If the situation in Yuzhou is not bad, they can still live a stable life. If Cao Cao’s losses are too great, then the people will know that Yuzhou will be invaded by other princes or Emperor Shenwu. The people are easily satisfied, but it does not mean that they are really easy to be deceived. After so many years of troubled times, the people who can survive to this day also have their own way of survival. At least avoiding war is the instinct of the people.

"Fengxiao, you can do it." Cao Cao handed over the matter to Guo Jia, knowing that Guo Jia could do this.

Guo Jia understood what to do, so he immediately summoned all the civil and military officials in Xiangcheng in the name of Cao Cao, and stated in public that Shouchun's situation had been counted. At the same time, he randomly fabricated a loss number to inform all the civil and military officials.

Civil and military officials, including Cao Ang, were worried about Shouchun City and were always guessing the specific losses. When Guo Jia mentioned the losses he had made, except for Cao Cao and Guo Jia, two people who knew the details, everyone was relieved. The losses Guo Jia said were a little bigger in the eyes of others, but they all felt that they were still within a range that could be afforded. Moreover, Cao Cao sat there calmly, which means that Shouchun's situation was not too serious, and perhaps it was a little better. Almost everyone believed Guo Jia and did not have any questions about Guo Jia's words.

Guo Jia knew what these people thought, and he had no psychological burden for lying this time. If lying this time can turn the world around, Guo Jia wouldn't mind saying it once more. And it was for their goodness, so as not to be depressed and live a life of fear all day long. This is a lie of kindness.

Guo Jia thought so, he was drunk.

"Everyone, Wenruo reported even more that your family members are safe. Wenruo has made proper arrangements. Don't worry about your family's situation." Guo Jia told the truth this time. Xun arranged all the family members of civil and military loyal to Cao Cao, and none of them had something to do.

This is great news. Most of the family members of the civil and military present are in Shouchun. When they hear the floods in Shouchun, they are most concerned about whether their family members are safe. This is human nature. Of course, except for some bachelors who are still full and not hungry so far. Even if they are so powerful, they still attach great importance to their family. They are as cruel as Cao Cao, but they are not very protective of their family.

Cao Cao even said: "Shouchun suffered this great disaster and suffered serious losses. You still need to work together to fight against the invasion of Liu's army. I will definitely let those who assassinate us!"

"We swear to follow the lord (father) to the death!" Cao Ang led all the civil and military officials and responded loudly.

"Everyone, please go down. Gu has already asked Wen Ruo to dispatch 5,000 troops to come. With this support, we will be able to defend this line of defense. Those who want to watch our jokes dispel the thoughts in their hearts. Gu is not easy to mess with!" Cao Cao waved his hand and let everyone leave.

All civil and military officials should be able to quickly return to their posts, cheer up, and always prepare to defend against possible attacks from Liu Jun.

They had no idea that Cao Cao and Guo Jia were lying to them.

It is not easy for Cao Cao to dominate. From Cao Cao to the present, when will it be as difficult as it is today? Although Cao Cao used the trust of Cao's soldiers to deceive them many times before, it was to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers at that time, and the actual situation did not differ much. Now the loss this time is so great, but Cao Cao and Guo Jia are so small that the treacherous Cao Cao can't help but feel worried.

Yes, Cao Cao was very worried about his future. Judging from the current situation, if Liu Yu turned his attention to Yuzhou now, it would be really difficult for Cao Cao to block Liu Yu. But this does not mean that Cao Cao has no room for resistance. As long as Cao Cao defeated the death penalty, Liu Yu would definitely suffer huge losses if he wanted to take Yuzhou.

Once the specific situation is learned by your subordinates, it will definitely cause great panic. At that time, Liu Yu, a guy who is more insidious than Cao Cao, will definitely not miss such a good opportunity, and will use it. In addition, Shouchun has some uneasy people, and if one is not good at leading the way, it will be almost impossible for Cao Cao to get back the situation.

As for lying to his subordinates, Cao Cao could only say apologies in his heart.

Cao Cao didn't even tell him the truth, but hoped that all his subordinates would believe Guo Jia's words. It was not that Cao Cao did not trust Cao Ang, but that Cao Cao knew that Cao Ang's cunning was not yet in time, and some things were easily revealed in his expression. Those who were interested could detect something was wrong as long as they were careful observation. This is why Cao Cao even cheated on his own son.

As he thought about it, Cao Cao felt a headache.

Guo Jia, who had not left, hurriedly said, "Lord, you have to take care of yourself. Let's see, you should take more rest."

"Qingxiao, can I rest in this situation now?" Cao Cao asked back.

Guo Jia remained silent. The current situation could not allow Cao Cao to be distracted. If Cao Cao went to rest, the Cao army would lack a backbone.

"Fengxiao, if there is one thing, please help Zixiu. If it is absolutely necessary, please Fengxiao must protect Zixiu's safety." Cao Cao seemed not so optimistic about his future, and he felt that he wanted to explain his funeral in advance.

Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said, "Lord. I don't know if I will be ahead of you. Is it useful for you to say this now?"

Cao Cao was stunned, then laughed and said, "Yes, I don't know what tomorrow will be like. It's really useless to say this now."

Guo Jia and Cao Cao looked at each other and smiled, with firmness in their eyes. (To be continued)
