Chapter 202 Chicken ribs(1/2)
How to deal with it?
Guo Jia heard a deep sense of dissatisfaction from Cao Cao's words.
In recent times, he seemed to care too much about the feelings of the Yingchuan gentry and neglected Cao Cao's thoughts.
Guo Jia's approach was nothing wrong. In this era of family, country, and world. Among them, family is undoubtedly the basis of everything. As a Yingchuan native, Guo Jia had to consider the attitude and ideas of the Yingchuan gentry, so he had some biases without realizing it.
Of course, Cao Cao would be dissatisfied!
But Guo Jia was not angry about it, and only sighed in his heart: "Lord, although Uncle Liu killed people on the long street, there was a reason for it.
The Wei family has indeed been a little arrogant in the past two years.
Last year, Boning dealt with several Wei clans in succession, but still could not help them to restrain themselves.
Of course, I am not saying that Uncle Liu is correct... I mean, Uncle Liu must deal with it, and even hit the Wei clan. Jia also knows that the lord is thinking about his old feelings, so he cannot bear to be too strict. But lord, you are now serving the emperor to challenge rebellion and are the attention of the people of the world. Your every move will be magnified by countless people, and a small mistake may cause trouble.
As for Uncle Liu…”
Guo Jia whispered: "You can dismiss him from the position of General Yangwu and abolish the Marquis of Guanting."
When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned and said softly: "Don't he dismiss his position as Prime Minister of North Sea?"
"Lord, if he dismissed his position as Prime Minister of Beihai, he would inevitably force Liu Huangshu's troops to surrender to Yuan Shao.
The reason why he was deposed this time was because he wanted to give an explanation to the Wei family, otherwise the lord would not be able to succeed. He first dismissed his posts and then tried to differentiate his troops. Now that Liu Huangshu is in Xudu, it is beyond the reach of his whip."
Guo Jia’s meaning is very clear, and he slowly draws it.
If Liu Chuang is punished too much for a moment, it may cause unnecessary trouble.
First of all, Liu Chuang would be dissatisfied. He would have to take risks. Secondly, he would also anger the Yingchuan gentry. They might not betray Cao Cao, but they would target the Wei clan. At that time, do you Cao Cao want to help the Wei clan? If you help, you may further anger the Wei clan. But if you don’t help, Wei Zi once sponsored Cao Cao, he would be accused of being ungrateful...
First, he dismissed Liu Chuang's military position and title, and then tried to dismiss his position as Prime Minister of the North Sea and win over his subordinates.
Cao Cao has already started to send people to do this, but at present, there has not been much progress, so don’t anger Liu Chuang too much.
Cao Cao listened and pondered without saying a word.
After a moment, he sighed and said, "Well, just follow what Fengxiao said.
However, it would be better to keep him for a few more days to make him honest. This guy has been restless since he came to Xu Du. Quanzhuo is just a warning."
After all, I killed so many people, and went in the day before and came out the next day...
If you spread the word, you might think that Cao Cao was afraid of this Liu Chuang.
Guo Jia is right. To deal with Liu Chuang, you still have to use a soft knife to clean up slowly. If it is too fierce, it will backfire.

Xu Du Tianzhu is strictly guarded.
After Liu Chuang was imprisoned, Man Chong immediately strengthened his protection.
Actually, this is a very difficult problem.
Liu Chuang killed so many guards of the Wei family, and the Wei family was not a small family, and had a deep connection with Cao Cao. If he wanted to retaliate against Liu Chuang, wouldn’t it be dangerous? Any danger in Liu Chuang would cause trouble for Man Chong. Not to mention anything else, just talking about that old guy Zhong Yao would make Man Chong unable to take advantage of him. Not to mention, behind Liu Chuang, the extremely huge Yingchuan gentry...
Yang Xiu walked into the prison with fear.
The prison walkway is dim and illuminated.
There was a foul smell in the air, which made Yang Xiu, who had liked cleanliness since childhood, feel uncomfortable.
If his father Yang Biao had not asked him to come, Yang Xiu would have been reluctant to go into the prison. Speaking of which, his current identity is quite embarrassing. In order to appease the old ministers in the court, Cao Cao appointed Yang Xiu as the chief clerk after he cleaned up Yang Biao. It sounds like this position is not low, but in fact, he is just an ordinary clerk. The official documents he handles on weekdays are also trivial matters.
Yang Xiu was very arrogant and had the will to quit, but was afraid of Cao Cao's revenge.
In desperation, he had to sit down patiently.
Some time ago, he was ordered to receive Liu Chuang, but he established some relationship with Liu Chuang.
This time he was ordered to come, and he felt even more nervous.
Because this time he came to Liu Chuang to do something, it was extremely dangerous. If there was a mistake, he would have no worries about his life, and his family would even be destroyed.
"Dezu, why are you here?"
Just when Yang Xiu was in a daze and was a little distracted, he suddenly heard a loud voice.
Looking up, I saw a cell directly in front of me, with an area of 100 square meters. This was originally a large cell, where some ordinary prisoners were imprisoned. Such a cell could be detained at least dozens of people on weekdays. But now, in the huge cell, there is only Liu Chuang.
There is a couch in the cell and a desk is placed.
The bedding was neatly arranged, and even books, pens, ink, paper and ink were placed.
The air in the prison room was not too bad, and it felt very ventilation was good. Liu Chuang was sitting on the couch reading a book, looking particularly carefree.
The prison officer opened the prison door and let Yang Xiu in.
Yang Xiu quickly cheered up and walked into the prison, "Uncle Emperor, I heard that you had an accident, so I was a little worried. Come and visit me."
Um?
Liu Chuang clearly captured Yang Xiu's voice, and the trembling that was not easy to be detected.
He smiled slightly, "Dezu is intent, everything is fine here, the county magistrate is quite polite to me, please don't worry."
When Yang Xiu mentioned Man Chong, he suddenly felt anger in his heart.
I remember that after Yang Biao was arrested, Man Chong really dared to torture Yang Biao to death.
He is indeed a villain!
Looking at his attitude towards Liu Chuang, and then thinking about Man Chong's attitude towards Yang Biao, Yang Xiu felt very uncomfortable.
In my ears, Yang Biao's advice when he was about to go out: "The Master of De, Hongnong Yang Family. Now is not as good as before.
Now, although the father can protect himself by his ancestors, he can't bring you too much help. It seems to be a pleasing to the thief to conquer you. In fact, it is just to suggest that you should not act rashly... You stay in Xudu, with your talent and literary reputation, you may be able to make a living. But it may be very difficult to become successful and shine your family. You are frivolous and can't stand it. Sooner or later, you will be in danger of staying in Xudu. This time you go to contact Uncle Liu, and if you can accomplish anything, stay by his side."
In my mind, my father's old face and gray hair appeared.
Yang Xiu couldn't help but put away his thoughts and looked at Liu Chuang carefully.
Although he was in the cell, Liu Chuang was dressed neatly. He looked at no depressed, and sat firmly on the couch, revealing a calm aura.
"Uncle, don't be fine."
Yang Xiu walked into the prison with the food box and took out the wine and food from the food box with a smile.
"Uncle the emperor is in prison and he will inevitably have a desire to speak out.
The cultivator prepared some wine and dishes and presented them to the emperor uncle to taste. Please don’t blame him.”
Liu Chuang was stunned and suddenly showed a sudden look.
He seemed to have figured out Yang Xiu's purpose, and he was not polite at the moment and asked Yang Xiu to sit down.
"The food in this prison is indeed a bit difficult to eat. Dezu sent it right. Why not use wine with me?"
This was a good start. Yang Xiu was delighted and hurriedly sat down aside.
To be honest, the wine and delicacies of the Eastern Han Dynasty were actually not as beautiful as imagined. The methods of cooking food were mostly boiling, stewing, steaming, and roasting. The stir-frying dishes in later generations have not yet appeared. In this way, there are not many types of food available for selection.
As for the drinks...
ha!
Liu Chuang is not the kind of person who is greedy for words and desires. Although he is in the cell, Man Chong dares not neglect and is extremely attentive in terms of food.
Therefore, he was not interested in Yang Xiu's wine and food.
From the bottom of my heart, Liu Chuang did not have a good sense of Yang Xiu.
In his mind, the rumored "audio rib" of later generations was just a person who likes to be clever and shows off, and he could not do anything big. However, judging from the current interaction with Yang Xiu, this legendary "audio rib" is a bit frivolous, but it seems not as unbearable as what is said in later generations. Even most of the time he interacted with him, although Yang Xiu said a lot, he was very decent.
This also made Liu Chuang's interest in Yang Xiu increase a lot...
"Dezu, what's the situation outside?"
"If you go back to the emperor, it's quite calm... The Wei clan members have always been domineering and have not had a good reputation among the people. Although Wei Zi is good, it's a pity that no one will succeed. With Cao Gong's favor, he will never be able to last for a long time. I heard that after this incident, Wei was severely scolded by Cao Gong, so he was very honest these two days. It's also the emperor's reputation is prominent, and if someone else is there, it may not be able to intimidate them."
Yang Xiu said this and felt a little uncomfortable.
He doesn't like compliments, so the compliments he says are always a bit awkward.
Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing, "If Wei Zi is still there, I might respect him. But Wei Zi has been dead for many years. Wei Zi has gained too much from Wei Zi's grace back then. If he didn't know that he would be killed sooner or later... Although he is in Xu Du, he is afraid that he will come?"
This is an understatement, but it exudes a sense of prosperity.
Yang Xiu couldn't help but smile and said, "It's just the emperor's uncle who has such a heroic spirit."
The two of them talked a little while, and seeing that it was getting late, Yang Xiu stood up and said goodbye.
However, before leaving, he did not take the food box away, only saying that he would deliver food on a daily basis and would change it at that time.
"Uncle Huang used wine slowly. If you have any demands, just tell me that."
After Yang Xiu finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.
After the prison officer sent Yang Xiu away, Liu Chuang sat on the couch and looked at the food box on the ground, his eyes narrowed into a slit.
Yang Xiu is probably not intended to be used here.
