Chapter 4304: After all, only the minimum requirements

Liu Xian looked at Cao Cao who had stopped and was dripping with cold sweat, with an expression of disappointment or pain on his face.

If you just want to avoid the disaster of destroying your family, Liu Xian listened to his son-in-law, dismissed the servants, and took his family to hide, but Liu Xian didn't do that. For a Confucian child like Liu Xian, letting the lord go on the wrong path like this is also an act of betrayal.

Confucian scholars in the Qin and Han Dynasties paid great attention to this point. People who betrayed their masters were looked down upon because of this social atmosphere, and even if Liu Xian escaped, and no one knew about it, Liu Xian would not be able to get over the pain in his heart. That was a hurdle, so he dismissed his servants, drove away his family, and waited for Cao Cao at the gate of Liu's house.

As for changing clothes and wearing a hair crown, this is a standard Confucian martyrdom ceremony. A gentleman will inevitably wear a crown when he dies. This is the limit of what Liu Xian can do. If he is killed, at least it will be the appearance of a gentleman, and Cao Gong ordered it to be like this , if I said it, and it is still the same, then I just died of blindness, if I can calm down, it means Cao Gong...

Cao Gong didn't lose his mind, he knew what he was doing, and he was only motivated by profit.

Liu first took off his hair crown, walked down the steps, then slowly knelt on the ground, raised the hair crown with both hands, and handed it to Cao Cao, "Sikong, I can accept that you slaughtered the family because of anger, or you are Pure ignorance, but is it worthwhile for you to slaughter the family that follows you for the sake of immediate interests?"

Liu Xian didn't know who the more than 20 aristocratic families who were exterminated were. He just heard from his son-in-law that the Jingzhao Du family had been exterminated. It is acceptable first.

Rational aristocratic families actually know what they are doing, but if the Cao family and Xiahou family are doing it, they have to follow. If they don't follow suit, who will bear the loss?

The money of the future is the money of the future, but if it is lost now, it is still a question of whether it can be obtained in the future. After all, if the Cao family and Xiahou family can behave like this, what will happen in the future is really uncertain.

But when doing it, people like Liu Xian were actually prepared to be punished by Cao Cao, but they thought that Chen Xun had the bottom line, and the Cao family and Xiahou family were in the way. Take it out again.

When digging out, everyone said the same thing, pointing directly at Cao's family and Xiahou's family. As long as Cao Cao has face, he can at least take out more than half of it. The big family is on the same side, there will be no such thing as the Cao family and the Xiahou family uniting with Cao Cao, eating the big head, and they eat leftovers.

Of course, the smart people in the aristocratic families were also prepared for Cao Cao's violent killings, so most of the aristocratic families did not do this when they were in the family.

As for the objects of exchange, they are usually the sons-in-law of their respective families, because those centurions just met all the prerequisites, and they also have enough land deeds for mutual benefit.

Liu Xian is a smart person. His logic for doing this is very simple. The Cao family and the Xiahou family are doing it. It is impossible for his family not to follow, so they must follow.

It's just that I didn't expect Cao Cao to kill the whole family unscrupulously.

Of course, those who were exterminated were all picked out by Xun You and Cheng Yu, who committed more crimes, didn't know how to advance or retreat, and joined Benben's family, but Liu Xian didn't know it.

Liu Xian already knew that the Jingzhao Du family was exterminated, and even Du Ji was dead, so what a fart, after telling Cao Cao everything he knew in the form of a rhetorical question, seeing Cao Cao's expression, Liu Xian thought he understood.

What a fool, I didn’t have any rage, but I knew exactly what I was doing, which was to kill aristocratic families to gather property, and my moral heart collapsed on the spot. It turns out that Cao Sikong, who is loyal and has great ambitions, is such a person. Okay, I Blind, kill me.

Liu Xian knelt in front of Cao Cao, holding the crown in both hands, waiting for Cao Cao to hack himself to death.

However, can Cao Cao still attack at this time? Even if Cao Cao can attack, Cheng Yu can't let Cao Cao attack. Since the Tiger Guard Army was formed ten years ago, most of the centurions were married before Yuanfeng Yes, there are only a very small number of subsequent marriages, so this problem does not exist, but what about other teams? If you continue to kill, something will happen!

Cao Cao swayed and looked at Liu Xian who was kneeling in front of him. He had already realized that Liu Xian, who had been so staunch before, was really stating the pros and cons to him, and even admonishing him with his life. It's a little late.

"Shizong." At this time, Cao Cao's eyes were darkened, his head was throbbing, and he couldn't even stand still.

"Yes." Liu Xian's words contained a bit of despair.

"Get up and call other members of the family." Cao Cao supported himself with the Yitian sword, and said as firmly as possible, killing cannot be done.

"Is it too late?" Liu Xian asked back, "There are more than 20 people. Even according to my family's situation, more than 300 people have married off to the centurion. These people all have their own brothers and friends, Sikong, Let Brother Xiahou send you back to Chang'an, this way you should have the last dignity."

In addition to marrying his own daughter to Lin He, Liu Xian also married some other centurions who had their own daughters, and he also had brothers from the clan, and those brothers had also married some, just their family. One after another, she married and had thirteen or fourteen daughters.

For example, when Xun Yu and Chen Qun had only one lineage, they had married four or five daughters in the past few years, and how many families under Cao's command had only one lineage? Even the respectable Liu Ba married off several maids.

Liu Xian didn't dare to think about how many daughters and concubines were married to those families with more people. Liu Xian knew of a family with the surname Gan, whose daughter had been married for nearly ten years, and now she can still get married every year. Marry four or five daughters abroad.

I used to think that this kind of family was very unlucky, but now Liu Xian doesn't think so. It would be terrible if he married more than a hundred centurions.

Therefore, in the case of judging others by himself, Liu Xian only thought that Cao Cao had a feud with the wives of two or three hundred men, so Liu Xian thought that Cao Cao should go to Chang'an to avoid robbery, otherwise he would be hacked to death on the walk. Not surprised at all.

This is a centurion. Liu Xian hates the words "Every time you slaughter more dogs in righteousness, you are mostly scholars who are ungrateful." But even Liu Xian admits that these low-level people are really capable of great things.

Smart people may think forward and backward, but these people, after they rise up, immediately start to do it. If two or three hundred leaders are really connected, then they are not a little people.

I didn't pay attention before, Liu Xian didn't realize how strong his son-in-law is, but today Liu Xian went up to strike a sword, and Lin He didn't even block him. How big is the difference? Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty paid attention to the six arts of a gentleman, and Liu Xian's swordsmanship was not fake, so sparks exploded in the end.

If this is a cloud, Liu Xian thought about it and stopped bragging about Cheng Yu. There are hundreds of such people, and with his subordinates, it is a question of whether Dian Wei can stand out. If not, they will all die!

"Hey, if you just killed the chief villain, those centurions who married the daughters of various families would not make a move. After all, the laws and rules are there, and they know right and wrong, but you just kill the family without even a reason. Here, they will really come to the top." Liu Xian sighed, this is a dead end, at least in the current Liu Xian's view, it is really a dead end.

There is nothing to say about a guilty person who should be executed in terms of punishment. Even if they are killed, those married daughters have nothing to say. After all, universal morality and legal regulations are here, and guilt is guilt. Nothing to explain.

But this kind of indiscriminate and direct extermination of the family, especially under the premise that Liu Xian thinks that Cao Cao and the aristocratic family are unreasonable, then don't pretend that after you have exterminated all the people, they will destroy your entire family and destroy your family. It is also a matter of course to chop into meat.

Since you don't talk about the rules, you only talk about strength, and you wiped out the whole family on the opposite side, then in the end, others don't ask the reason, and use your strength to kill your whole family, don't say that you are aggrieved, just pay for what.

"They exchanged almost all the exchange notes on hand." Cao Cao said through gritted teeth.

"It's as if the Cao family and the Xiahou family are not so ordinary." Liu Xian said indifferently, "These are not reasons, the only reason is that your military power can destroy the opponent's entire family, and now this military power is decoupled. It’s all about getting revenge.”

"Mr. Zhongde, you should also go back to Chang'an, and let Chen Hou handle this matter. It may take a while to go to Chang'an."

decent. "Liu Xian bowed to Cheng Yu.

The so-called decency is like Liu Ba. He doesn't hold his family accountable when he dies, but he has to die. In Liu Xian's view, Cao Cao and Cheng Yu are almost at this level now.

More importantly, it is impossible to say that Cheng Yu will replace him this time, and Cao Cao will not have to die. The last time the aristocratic family actually didn't recognize this fact, they just pressed the bull's head forcibly. continuation.

At this point in the matter, Cheng Yu was no longer enough to explain.

To be blunt, is Cheng Yu's head enough for common people to be angry? Not enough, if one-third of the army is surrendered, it will be far away. It is different from the situation of the aristocratic family that agrees on the surface and violates the law. The soldiers who wield swords are either yes or no, and Cheng Yu is not qualified. !

There was an unbearable bitterness on Cheng Yu's face. He never thought that there was such a insurance. If he had known this earlier, he should have prepared the edict of the princes like Li You. Then deal with a few rooms, and then send the others to prison.

"Go and call other family members." Cao Cao ordered Cheng Yu coldly, "Even if I die, I will die to understand."

At this time, Xun Yu and Chen Qun finally rushed over with their guards. Seeing the stopped team, the two gradually slowed down and finally stopped in front of Cao Cao.

"My lord." Xun Yu and Chen Qun bowed to Cao Cao, then bowed their hands to Liu Xian, "Shizong, thank you for persuading my lord."

"I didn't persuade you, you are late." Liu Xian looked at Xun Yu and Chen Qun with some sarcasm and said, he is not a fool, and Liu Xian understood those things before, Xun Yu and Chen Qun appeared at this time , Ridiculous, how ridiculous!

"I was given a sword by Cheng Zhongde." Chen Qun understood Liu Xian's meaning at a glance, and said bluntly, "The big bag on the back of my head is still there."

Liu Xian was stunned, he didn't know how to answer, he couldn't help but flicked his sleeves, "Anyway, you are late, you should watch and clean up this mess, more than 20 families under Sikong's command have been wiped out, they should probably marry About 300 daughters have gone out, see for yourself if you can calm the anger of those people.”

"Not that many." Chen Qun took out the list from Cheng Yu's arms and threw it to Liu Xian, "We were thinking about this when we came here, and we can still catch up. If it is really random killing If there are more than 20 aristocratic families, there is only a dead end anyway.”

"You all know this line?" Cheng Yu asked suddenly.

"No, I didn't know before, Xiao told us first." Chen Qun shook his head, "We also realized it before, otherwise I don't want to care about it, I'm tired, and I'm not willing to tell me ?”

Cheng Yu was silent, not because he didn't want to, but because Chen Qun didn't need to get involved in this matter, so they couldn't keep track of Chen Qun's pulse, so they didn't tell Chen Qun.

"Is this strictly followed?" Liu Xian asked Cheng Yu with sharp eyes.

"Because according to estimates, Chang Wen and Wen Ruo should have stopped at the gate of Jingzhao Du's." Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Although Bohou made many mistakes, he is a colleague after all, and he didn't want him to leave in such a disgraceful manner. "

Du Ji will definitely die, the only difference is that Du Ji is aware of his own problems and chooses to be decent, like Liu Ba, only one dies, and the whole family is kept, or it is the current situation.

To be honest, Du Shu was able to leave not because Du Ji's judgment was correct, but because Du Ji could choose to be decent, otherwise, none of the other families would be able to escape, and your family is so lucky?

"Should my family be exterminated?" Liu Xian cursed directly.

"Your home is neither far nor close, so it's best to wait for time so as not to arouse suspicion." Cheng Yu didn't hide his behavior at this time, and directly pointed out the reason why he chose Liu Xian's home.

If it was too far, Cao Cao would be puzzled. If it was too close, he would not be able to buy time. Cheng Yu didn't destroy the family for the sake of destroying the family. He was waiting for Xun Yu and Chen Qun to stop the butcher knife, and then re-negotiate with the family.

It can be said that all the trains of thought are fine, but they ran into Chen Xi's lifeline, causing the current situation to be extremely embarrassing and almost out of control.

"These homes

If they were from the clan, they could barely control the situation. "Liu Xian finally said with some guesswork.

Because the families with poor reputations and dark hearts were selected first. Although these families also fulfilled Chen Xi's minimum requirements, they were the minimum requirements after all.
