Chapter 150: The Death of Bian Rang

"Lord, this is the thing. Although Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, many people under his command did not like his style. For example, there was a famous scholar named Bian Ran in Yanzhou. He was very disgusted with him and often spoke sarcastic words. We just need to find a way to spread rumors in Luoyang, and let Cao Cao know that Cao Cao secretly sent someone to rob the tomb. He would definitely shake it up. Cao Cao would kill him in shame and anger, and let him be very popular in Yanzhou. Once he is killed, Yanzhou

The officials, especially Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others who had acquaintance with Bian Rang, would be heartbroken. In this case, they would find a way to deal with Cao Cao. One of them had a vast relationship and the other was resourceful, and they would definitely make Cao Cao's backyard fire. By then, Cao Cao could not take care of each other from the beginning and end. Even if he could successfully support the emperor, he would definitely lose most of Yanzhou. With his strength, he would not be able to completely control the situation in Luoyang. This is enough for us to plan."

"Mr. Kong Ming, it's indeed a wonderful plan." Pei Qing's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he felt that such a plan was definitely the best response at present.

However, this would kill the famous scholar Bian Rang, which was indeed a bit unpretentious and honest, so Pei Qing was a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Hu Zhao immediately advised: "This matter is indeed a bit unlucky, but we can only do this for the sake of the Han Dynasty. At worst, we can find ways to posthumously award Bianzhang official titles and properly take care of his descendants. People of our generation have read so many books of sages. Isn't it just to save the world? Death for the country and the country is our glory. Dou Wu, Chen Fan, Li Ying, Du Mi, Fan Pang and others were able to die for the country. How can Bianzhang not be able to die now? Even if I was Hu Zhao, if I had to die in order to exchange for the stability of the country, I would definitely die without hesitation."

Pei Qing sighed and said, "That's all that is possible. When you want to search for it in the future, let future generations take good care of them to make up for today's regrets."

Pei Qing then asked Hu Zhao to handle the matter with full authority, causing some trouble for Cao Cao and also creating opportunities for himself.

Cao Cao never expected that his plan had been seen through by Pei Qing, and even he himself began to be plotted by Pei Qing. He led the army to capture Luoyang with lightning speed. The plan was progressing very smoothly and he was extremely proud. At this time, Cao Cao had found two tomb robbers, Huang Fu Li and Huang Fu Yi, and appointed them as General of the Faqiu Zhonglang and the Jinshi Captain respectively. This was a heavy responsibility. After all, this was already a senior military position under Cao Cao's current command.

These two people did not disappoint Cao Cao. They stole tens of thousands of gold in just one day, which solved the urgent problem for Cao Cao's current embarrassment and fulfilled the rewards for all the soldiers who made military achievements.

"The tombs of princes and ministers around Luoyang are as numerous as ox-haired. As long as they are careful and do not move the tombs of the current high-ranking officials of the court and the royal family, who can tell any of them?" Cao Cao thought that his work was very secretive and no one knew about it, and he was very proud.

However, at this moment, he heard the counselor Bian Rang come to ask for a meeting. Cao Cao knew that Bian Rang was a crazy man and generally ignored him at all. However, he was in a good mood now and it didn't matter if he saw him, so he ordered him to come in.

After Bian Rang saw Cao Cao, he just bowed his hand slightly to see him. This made Cao Cao feel a little unhappy and said lightly: "I don't know what Wenli has to give me any advice?"

Bian Rang, without Moji, said directly: "Now the soldiers followed Cao Gong and won consecutive victories and finally captured Luoyang. It's a joyful congratulations."

"Hehe, these are the result of the heroic battle between the soldiers." Cao Cao was proud of himself, but he always had to speak more humblely, so he said this.

"This is true, but since that's the case, should the reward Cao Gong promised to the soldiers be fulfilled? Now all the soldiers outside the camp are dissatisfied and are waiting to ask Cao Gong for the bounty. If Cao Gong does not fulfill it in time, the morale of the army may be unstable and will be unfavorable to Cao Gong."

"Haha, Wen Li said it well. I am considering this matter. After some hard work, I have raised tens of thousands of gold, enough to reward the soldiers. Don't worry, Wen Li, I will arrange this matter soon." Cao Cao was very happy after hearing this. He did not expect that such a storm such a straitor would also care about the morale of the army. This is a good thing, enough to prove that he is gradually winning the hearts of the people.

But unexpectedly, Bian Rang sneered and said, "In just one or two days, Cao Gong raised so much money. It's really not simple. I don't know where so much money comes from? I really can't figure it out. Can Cao Gong solve my doubts?"

When Cao Cao heard this, his face changed color and said lightly: "You don't need Wenli to worry about this, right? I just need to raise the corresponding materials, there is no need to explain to you, right?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid the property is not coming from right? I heard a rumor that Cao Gong secretly recruited a team, specializing in digging graves and stealing property to support the army. I wonder if the news is true?" Bian Rang seemed to ask for advice, but this aggressive attitude was not asking for advice at all, but more like asking questions.

Cao Cao's expression changed instantly, and he said coldly: "Who is talking nonsense? Wen Li will believe in such a thing? It's really ridiculous."

"Oh? I will slowly investigate whether this matter is true? There is another thing that I am puzzled. Since Cao has captured Luoyang, he should do his best to pursue the victory and lead the army to defeat Hongnong, defeat Huayin, recover Chang'an in one fell swoop, and welcome the emperor back. Why did he keep leading his army to stay here? Moreover, you led the army to be stationed in the palace and proposed to restore the palace with confidence. I think you have no loyalty at all. Occupying Luoyang is just to realize your ambitions. If Cao, if you

This will definitely disappoint all the scholars and common people in the world. Please ask Cao Gong to take the world as his responsibility, return the stolen items, bury the stolen tombs, and apologize to his descendants. Then, lead the army to fight against the rebels of Xiliang and welcome the emperor back. In this way, you can protect your reputation from loss. You, Cao and Xiahou, have suffered the emperor's grace. If you lose the righteousness, you will definitely be scolded by future generations. Even your ancestors are ashamed and unwilling to meet you under the underworld..."

"Bold! You are just a crazy student. What qualifications are you to dare to interfere with my strategy? You don't know what I do. Everything is based on hearsay and conjecture. How dare you come to me to question and condemn me? I tolerate you before, which does not mean that you will always tolerate you. You are the one who is superior and humiliating me, and even my ancestors dare to insult you. If I don't kill you, would I really think my sword is not good?"

So he ordered his subordinates: "Take this guy and me outside the gate and behead him and show him!"

When Bian Rang heard that he was going to be executed, he immediately cursed and accused Cao Cao of various crimes such as robbing the graves. Cao Cao was so angry that he ordered his tongue to be cut off. Then he watched him be killed with his own eyes, and then he gave up.

The civil and military officials were shocked and were killed. They couldn't help but talk. Cao Cao killed Bian Jeong in order to silence him, and his ambition to steal the tomb and occupy the palace to welcome the emperor was leaked. However, he explained to the civil and military officials: "Bian Jeong disobeyed the order, disrupted the morale of our army, and neglected the military laws, so I killed him."

Some of the civil and military officials believed it, and some did not believe it, but when Cao Cao said this, he did not dare to say anything else, so the matter became silent.
