Chapter 98 anticlimactic
"That's because there will be no good opportunities in Xiapi. General Gao has been staying in the barracks." Xun Yu said.

Everyone also nodded secretly, what Xun Yu said was not unreasonable, Gao Shun didn't like to go out in Xu, and almost never left the barracks except to complete Cao Gong's mission to suppress bandits, everyone knew this.

It's just something they don't understand, why Xun Yu must fight Zhang Liao.

Not to mention status, but in terms of word of mouth, even ten Zhang Liao could not compete with Xun Yu, but now Zhang Liao would not allow Xun Yu to suppress him.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this matter had little to do with Zhang Liao, it was obvious that Gao Shun provoked someone and was assassinated, but unfortunately the soldier who was bought off happened to be one of Zhang Liao's subordinates.

It can be said that if he is willing to excuse Zhang Liao, nothing will happen to him.

But the problem is that Zhang Liao usually doesn't like to make friends, so no one will take the initiative to stand up.

Except Gao Shun.

Now that Chen Gong is speaking for Zhang Liao, everyone did not expect it, but it is understandable. After all, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Chen Gong all returned from Lu Bu's subordinates, and their abilities are relatively outstanding. It is normal for the three of them to have some personal relationships. .

Before Xun Yu finished speaking, he said again: "General Gao is exhausted from the long march, and his vigilance is low. He has just arrived in Xudu and is not familiar with the terrain. This is a good opportunity for assassination."

"If Mr. Wen Ruo said this, then whenever a general's soldiers attack others, does that mean the general is guilty of assassinating his colleagues and should be executed?" Chen Gong asked.

"Don't dare, but if the general's soldiers assassinate other people, but the general is not punished, wouldn't everyone be uneasy?" Xun Yu said, not to be outdone.

"Gong Wei never said that General Zhang should not be punished, but the beheading was too serious. How could a general with outstanding ability lose his life because of others' framing? I don't think Mr. Cao will let such a thing happen." Chen Gong looked at Cao Cao and said.

"It should be so." Cao Cao nodded, "Beheading is too serious, but it is necessary to punish him. So, according to the public opinion, how should we punish?"

"It's better to let General Zhang find the mastermind behind the scenes. If he finds it, it will be a merit, and the merits and demerits will be equal." Chen Gong said lightly.

"Then what if we haven't found it? In other words, General Zhang couldn't complete the task, so he asked someone to make up for it?" Xun Yu said.

"Of course there are other punishments." Chen Gong said.

"It's better to make it clear first." Xun Yu said again after chasing after him.

The atmosphere in the camp was extremely tense for a moment, and everyone watched the confrontation between the two counselors without daring to interrupt.

"Okay, let's talk about the next thing." It was Cao Cao who made the final decision.

Just as Gao Shun breathed a sigh of relief, Cao Cao said again: "In order for Zhang Liao to concentrate on finding the murderer behind the scenes, let's leave the military affairs aside for the time being. Yuan Rang, you go and take over Zhang Liao's troops. Wen Yuan, you have no objection."

"Grandpa Cao is wise, he will definitely try his best to find the murderer in the end." Zhang Liao could only bow his head.

Cao Cao is obviously dissatisfied with him. Those who want to suppress him can start to deprive him of his military power.

Although the thousands of soldiers in Zhang Liao's hands are all shrimp soldiers and crab generals, it is better than none.

You must know that there are many generals under Cao Cao's command, but not all generals can have military power. Some generals have only a few cronies under them, and they can only fight with other generals as deputy generals.

And Zhang Liao's strength could have been considered above average, but now he was beaten to the bottom.

As for Cao Cao's statement that Zhang Liao will give him military power if he finds the mastermind behind the scenes, it can be regarded as a big cake.

There are no clues, no ideas, just a dead body, and I don't even know if the murderer is in Xu Capital, so let's find it.

Everyone obviously knew what Cao Cao meant and looked at Zhang Liao with pity.

Gao Shun gritted his teeth and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Cao Cao waving his hand: "Yi Cong, I know that you and Wen Yuan have a good relationship, but this is not your business alone. If generals are often assassinated in the future, then Where is my majesty?

Besides, I didn't punish Wen Yuan too much. Finding the murderer behind the scenes is what he should do. "

Gao Shun couldn't say much, so he could only reply sullenly.

Cao Cao uttered a few more words of nonsense, then ordered to disband, and everyone walked out of the camp intermittently, leaving only Xun Yu by his side.

"Wen Ruo, you know what I'm thinking." Cao Cao said, looking into the distance through the curtain of the tent.

"Mr. Cao feels sorry," Xun Yu said.

"Yes, it is indeed a pity, such a good opportunity." Cao Cao shook his head: "It happened to be Zhang Wenyuan, although he made some small moves, but he did not go too far, and I don't want to punish him too severely.

Others have caught a bunch of tricks, but they have no chance. "

When Cao Cao said this, he turned his head, and suddenly said: "Wen Ruo, if there are thieves to assassinate again..."

"No!" Xun Yu interrupted.

Although Cao Cao's words were vague, he could understand what Cao Cao meant. He just wanted to arrange for people to assassinate, and then pour dirty water on the generals he wanted to suppress.

It's not troublesome, after all, Cao Cao's generals must have moles in their troops. It's not possible to report all aspects of this general, but the general behavior can still be known.

But this is indeed inappropriate. Cao Cao's goal can be achieved, but if such incidents occur frequently in Xu Capital City, it will also be a blow to Cao Cao's prestige.

Xun Yu described the pros and cons, and Cao Cao had no choice but to stop there.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Cao Cao said: "Your Majesty is going to meet me in a few days to demonstrate his military exploits. Who should he bring with him?"

"Anyone who has made meritorious service in this battle like General Xiahou is fine, and Liu Xuande and Gao Yicong can also be brought along."

"Why?" Cao Cao said, referring to the latter two.

"Bringing Liu Xuande is because Duke Cao promised in front of everyone that he would honor him in front of His Majesty. If not, he would definitely be dissatisfied. If it spreads, it will have a slight impact on Duke Cao's reputation. As for Gao Shun... "

Xun Yu paused, and said: "He, Zhang Liao, Chen Gong, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others all belonged to Lu Bu's surrender. Although they don't communicate often, but with this relationship, it is easy to form a faction. Mr. Cao's meritorious service to Gao Shun can win people's hearts and strengthen the power of this faction.

It is not an exaggeration to give Gao Shun credit for taking over Zhang Liao's military power just now. "

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and that was what he was thinking.

He hates factions, but to suppress one faction, another faction must be gained. Now that Gao Shun and the others have not yet grown up, it is also a kind of balance technique to help themselves.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao still felt sorry for the anticlimactic summoning. If it goes well this time, he can just suppress some generals, and there is no need to take the extreme method of helping the faction grow.

But it's not completely fruitless, at least the generals under his command will be honest for a while and don't dare to make mistakes.

 I'm really not good at writing this, the psychology of a generation of heroes is not easy to figure out, even if it's something I fabricated.

  Try to write as little as possible
