The Three Kingdoms Began with the Abduction of Luoshen - Chapter 157
With the collapse of the Wuhuan.
Cao Cao did not rush forward. Although he did not like foreigners, it was not a wise choice to set up too many enemies for hope.
As a smart person, you must learn to defuse troubles.
Therefore, according to the plan negotiated by everyone, Cao Cao began to implement it, which is a crucial step.
White Wolf City was where the Wuhuan royal court was located, and even if Tadun died, there would still be Wuhuan nobles here.
In fact, although the White Wolf City is gone, the Wuhuan has not been completely destroyed, and the nobles from the outside world still have the fighting power.
Once they cause trouble, I am afraid that Cao Cao will not be able to deal with it.
After all, the most disgusting thing about foreigners is not how strong their fighting power is, but how they run away after grabbing them. They are comfortable, but Cao Cao has nothing to do.
Can your own people ignore it?
But no one with a brain would do this.
First of all, Cao Cao had to choose a person who was easy to control among the nobles of White Wolf City as Shanyu’s successor.
And Cao Cao needs to use force to defeat those opposing forces. Without these people, Cao Cao has the final say.
Just find a candidate, naturally very simple.
After all, choosing to surrender is probably not a tough one. As long as you are a little deterred, you will immediately become obedient.
Although these people are spineless, Cao Cao doesn’t care. He needs such people to make the plan go smoothly.
Soon, people will find it.
In the Wuhuan Palace, Cao Cao looked at the servile young man and said with a smile:
“Why are you here?”
This Wuhuan young man was stunned. He understood Chinese, and he wondered if Cao Cao asked him to find him?
In a panic, he naturally couldn’t guess Cao Cao’s intentions.
Seeing the confused look of the young man, Cao Cao laughed:
“It doesn’t have to be so, Gu is not going to kill you, but you are here, do you want to become Wuhuan’s new Chanyu?”
The young man was stunned, subconsciously wanting to refuse, but before he could say the words, he suddenly realized.
He understood Cao Cao’s idea that he wanted to be a puppet himself.
Although this is not a good thing, the young man has understood it, and he knows what he has to do.
Even if he doesn’t agree, Cao Cao can kill him directly and continue looking for the next suitable candidate.
So this young man has no other choice.
Under Cao Cao’s gaze, the young man nodded and replied:
“The prime minister is right, I want to be the new Shanyu.”
Seeing that he was on the road like this, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction and said comfortably:
“Yes, since you have such an idea, Gu will help you and make you Wuhuan’s new Chanyu. But as a price, do you know what you are going to do? It’s not a free thing.”
The young man took a deep breath and said sternly:
“From now on, I’ll be the Prime Minister’s lackey. Whatever the Prime Minister asks me to do, I’ll do it, and I’ll never go against it.”
Cao Cao is still very satisfied with the attitude of the young man.
Although he still doesn’t believe this person and will prepare for certain restrictions, he feels that this person can be used.
Then Cao Cao got up and asked:
“Looks like you’re a smart guy, what’s your name?”
The young man said quickly:
“Little man Wu Yan, willing to die for the Prime Minister.”
Cao Cao didn’t care, he turned around and said:
“Gu don’t need you to die. As long as you do your job well, Gu will not embarrass you, and will give you many benefits. Wu Yan, I hope you know your position and don’t think too much.”
Where did Wu Yan dare to think about it, he just said anxiously:
“I am willing to listen to the Prime Minister’s disposal.”
Cao Cao waved his hand and said:
“Okay, you go down first, Gu will naturally arrange it.”
Wu Yan left very uneasy.
But he knew that this road was the only option, and if he wanted to live, there was no other way.
Maybe things weren’t so bad.
When Wu Yan left, Cao Cao called Xun You and other advisers again and said:
“Today it seems that this Wuyan can indeed be used, and the next thing may determine the stability of the northern border for more than ten years.”
This time is not long, but really speaking, it is not simple, after all, the border often suffers.
Once foreigners have no food or anything, they come to loot. It is really shameless and helpless.
If we want to eradicate these troubles, I am afraid that only by turning the grasslands into farmland, otherwise some things cannot be changed.
After all, the source is here.
After discussing with Xun You and the others, everything else was carried out step by step without any accident.
Now that Cao Cao’s forces are tyrannical, ordinary people can’t dare to offend him.
Even Liu Biao and Sun Quan in the south were terrified, how could they dare to think about Cao Cao?
In fact, with the current situation, if Liu Biao and Sun Quan were really determined to do Cao Cao, he probably couldn’t continue.
Although the north is important, it cannot lose its own territory.
But the reality is so ridiculous, no one has the courage to do it, Cao Cao won the two states comfortably.
The matter in White Wolf City did not last long.
Wu Yan got his wish and became Chanyu, and Cao Cao left an army, and they continued to garrison here.
After all, the precautions that should be taken must be done. Wu Yan is a Wuhuan, and Cao Cao cannot be completely relieved, so he can only rely on force.
A lot of strength, force is far better than reason.
As for Wuhuan’s other forces, they were obviously frightened by Cao Cao. After all, Tadun was the real Shanyu.
Although such a powerful Tadun was directly killed by Cao Cao, many people never expected such an outcome.
Even Cao Cao is incredible.
Zhang Liao’s astonishing performance directly shocked the foreigners, how could they dare to provoke Cao Cao easily, especially when the army was still there.
Maybe they are only temporarily stable, and when Cao Cao returns, they will continue to do things, but this also shows Cao Cao’s reputation on the one hand.
Cao Cao was not surprised by this.
If someone really jumps out at this moment, he doesn’t mind sending troops, after all, his generals want military industry.
Zhang Liao directly killed Tadun, and everyone didn’t participate. He came from a long way and didn’t catch anything. Wouldn’t it be a pity?
But it backfired, they were all honest.
It doesn’t matter what you think in your heart, at least temporarily admitting Wu Yan, this is an excellent signal.
And when this was done, Cao Cao sent an imperial decree to Gongsun Du of Liaodong while he dispatched his troops.
Emperor Xian is in the hands of Cao Cao, and all the imperial edicts are routine operations.
And there is no rebuke on the imperial decree, not even a requirement, just a simple reward.
The direct official recognition of the position of the prefect of Liaodong also gave many other benefits, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
Although some things were not written directly, Cao Cao believed that the Gongsun Du brothers were smart people and could understand Cao Cao’s thoughts.
If it really comes to the end, no one will benefit.
Cao Cao may lose his troops, but Liaodong will also cease to exist.
Cao Cao chose to do this for many reasons, one of which was the special geographical conditions of Liaodong.
It’s not easy to ask for it.
It’s better to have a good talk than to go to war.
If it can be negotiated, naturally there is no need to be too entangled.
In this way, the imperial edict was sent to Liaodong.
