Get the trap system at the beginning and unify the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 19 Cao Cao's Good Abacus
"I passed out, and he splashed salt water on me to wake me up."

"I scolded him, so he hit me in the face with his fist, and then I passed out again."

"Then, I was woken up again and saw others humiliating General Gao. I was so angry that I scolded him a few more times and got beaten again."

Zhang Li was still babbling, and accidentally tore the wound on his face, grinning in pain.

The faces of the people around were getting darker and darker, and some of them had already cursed secretly.

This Hou Cheng is simply hateful!Not a son of man!

"That's enough!" Cao Cao looked unhappy and shouted coldly, interrupting Zhang Li. The interrupted Zhang Li looked confused.

Cao Cao looked gloomy, looked at Gao Shun, and pointed to the other wounded soldiers behind him: "Are they all like this?"

"Exactly! Mr. Ming can check it in person!" Gao Shun signaled Zhang Li to come back and replied.

"No need." Cao Cao glanced at the generals and advisers in the camp, and heaved a long sigh when he saw that all of them looked heavy or angry.

"I only thought that Hou had achieved great success, so I didn't monitor him more or take away his military power. I didn't expect that this person would be so vicious."

"It seems that Yi Cong has nothing wrong." Cao Cao changed his name to Gao Shun from his first name to his first name, without any sense of inconsistency.

Everyone either nodded their heads in agreement, or remained expressionless, obviously having no objection to Cao Cao's words.

"However, Hou Cheng and Gao Shun are both the prime minister's generals. Not to mention that they are at the same level, Gao Shun killed his colleagues after all." One person said suddenly.

Gao Shun's pupils shrank. He didn't expect that now that the truth came to light, someone would want to punish him. When he looked closely, he found that the person was Xun Yu who was beside Cao Cao.

Xun Yu felt Gao Shun's gaze, but pretended not to see it, and continued expressionlessly: "If Mr. Cao doesn't deal with it, there will inevitably be more disputes among his men in the future."

"That makes sense." Xun Yu started, and several people echoed.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, but did not answer directly, but looked at Zhang Liao beside Gao Shun, and said calmly, "Wen Yuan, what do you think?"

Understood, Xun Yu's words are Cao Cao's signal, the purpose is to punish himself!Gao Shun already understood Cao Cao's intentions.

Logically speaking, the matter is now very clear. Hou Cheng made a big mistake by provoking trouble and attacking his fellow soldiers. Even though he killed him, if Cao Cao didn't say anything, nothing big would happen.

But the problem is that Cao Cao has already said that Gao Shun is not at fault, and Xun Yu is still making trouble for himself, and there are many people who agree, which is not easy.

When Cao Cao asked Zhang Liao, he probably saw that Zhang Liao was close to him and wanted to beat him.Zhang Liao is also a sensible person and can definitely see Cao Cao's intentions.

Sure enough, after hearing Cao Cao's question, Zhang Liao was slightly shocked, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "I don't think Gao Shun made a big mistake, just a small punishment and a small warning."

"Small punishment and small warning?" Cao Cao asked back with a half-smile, and seeing Zhang Liao buried his head in silence, he turned to Chen Gong who was on the side:

"Gongtai, what do you think?"

"It's all up to Duke Cao." Chen Gong thought for a moment and added: "Gao Shun was a little more ruthless when he struck, also to prevent Hou Cheng from retaliating in the future. Moreover, Hou Cheng is already dead..."

He didn't finish speaking, but everyone already understood what he meant.

It's just that Hou Cheng is already dead, and there is no need to punish a living person for the sake of a dead person. However, if Gao Shun was the one who died and Hou Cheng was the one who lived, then whether he would say so is another matter.

Everyone here is not a fool, they are all like mirrors in their hearts, now it is up to Cao Cao to decide.

"There is nothing wrong with Yicong. Hou Cheng provoked troubles and vented his anger for his subordinates, in order to kill Hou Cheng without future troubles." Cao Cao's tone changed: "But, Yicong. Didn't I set up military law and discipline? Why didn't I report it? come to me?"

"If everyone is like you, with a slanted sword and kills colleagues at the slightest disagreement, will there be anyone under my command!"

"You are not an ignorant person, why don't you even understand this?"

"If you come to me, won't I make the decision for you?"

Cao Cao's tone was passionate, and the central theme had one meaning: you should not kill Hou Cheng.

After Cao Cao said this, Gao Shun naturally couldn't refute, so he could only say sullenly: "Duke Ming is right, it's up to Duke Ming to decide."

"I originally planned to return your former camp to your subordinates, but now it seems that if I really give it to you, I don't know what to do." Cao Cao looked disappointed, and continued:

"Let's do this, Wen Yuan, you'll have a handover with Yuan Rang later, and take over the trapped camp."

Sow discord!Cao Cao punished himself for being petty, mostly because he saw Zhang Liao and Chen Gong interceding for him, and wanted to provoke the relationship between them.

This was a clear plan, just to let the two of them see Cao Cao's intentions. So whatever, they would still have the grudges they should have.

Gao Shun thought in his mind and looked up at Zhang Liao.

Sure enough, Zhang Liao also noticed Gao Shun's gaze, his face was tangled, and then he had to step forward to accept the order.

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and then winked at Xun Yu as if he suddenly remembered something.

Xun Yu is worthy of being Cao Cao's number one adviser, he understood Cao Cao's meaning with a glance, and spoke again.

"Mr. Cao, I remember that Gao Shun once promised that he would solve the banditry in the surrounding area within a month. Now that he has trained soldiers for half a month, he should take action."

"Yicong, what do you think?" Cao Cao asked hypocritically.

I felt something was wrong, Gao Shun complained in his heart, Lao Yinbi, trying to suppress me.

However, his face was still determined: "It's only half a month... It's a little rushed, but since it is Duke Ming's request, Shun Ding will live up to his mission!"

Cao Cao nodded. From this point of view, his goal has been accomplished.

Originally, these people were called here in the middle of the night to discuss military affairs. They were about to disband. Unexpectedly, Gao Shun's incident came up, and it was solved by the way. As for Hou Cheng's death?so what.

Hou Cheng was nothing more than a benchmark set up, in order to show that he didn't care about the predecessor of the surrendered general, all of them were entrusted with heavy responsibilities.And half a month has passed since Xiapi was laid down, who cares about an unknown soldier?
Besides, Hou Cheng didn't do his part, there were more than one or two things that came to him, and he wanted to rectify it a long time ago.

Now it has not only suppressed Gao Shun, but also provoked the relationship between him and Zhang Liao, and solved Hou Cheng's trouble.

However, when did the relationship between Gao Shun and Chen Gong get so good that Chen Gong was willing to speak for him, could it be... the two had a personal relationship?
Cao Cao looked at the expressionless Chen Gong, and said calmly:

"If there is nothing else, you all go to rest."
