"How is the situation in Hebei? What arrangements do you have over there?" Liu Cang asked Cao Cao as the waiter retreated and the guards walked away.

"Youzhou and Jizhou have been in war for many years, and the people have lost their support. I intend to support the Cao family, and the Xiahou family has survived in the two states." Cao Cao thought and replied.

"There don't seem to be many people in the Cao family and Xiahou family of this generation who are good at governing, right? Marriage? It's better not to suffer backlash." Liu Cang tapped his fingers on the table.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I am not someone easy to bully." A cold light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.

The discussion was like a secret room friendship. Even when the Cao family and the Xiahou family were mentioned, Cao Cao did not hide his ruthlessness in front of Liu Cang that any disharmony should be eliminated.

The aristocratic family manages the people's hearts, and Cao Cao also needs the people's hearts. Complementing each other is the best effect that is difficult to achieve, but even if they cannot complement each other, if the aristocratic families they support turn against themselves, it will be difficult for even their relatives to be kind.

"The Cao family in Xuzhou and the Chen family want to fight. Do you think you can give the Chen family some support?" Cao Cao asked Liu Cang.

"Ms. Chen.

Get rid of Xuzhou Cao Bao. It is not good for the Chen family to expand too fast. Xuande, let the Mi family return to Xuzhou and jointly maintain Xuzhou business with the Zhen family." Liu Cang said to Liu Bei after thinking.

"Good, I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of Mi Zhu." Liu Bei said to Liu Cang with a happy face.

The Mi family is Liu Bei's financial backer for the time being, but if they give up Xuzhou Business Road, it will be difficult to provide much funding to Liu Bei for a long time. Liu Bei's joy is real.

"It doesn't matter. Meng De, what do you say to Ding of Pei State? Now that you have achieved success, I'm afraid it's time for others to reap the rewards, right?" Liu Cang waved his hand and asked Cao Cao again.

"Alas, Mr. Ding is determined to become famous in Yingchuan, and I am also very worried about this." Cao Cao smiled bitterly.

"Yingchuan? Which one?" Liu Cang asked.

"Xunshi." Cao Cao said.

"Oh, Mr. Ding's appetite is really big, don't you? Just keep an eye on it and don't cause chaos." Liu Cang chuckled and looked at Cao Cao sympathetically.

The Ding family is Cao Cao's daughter-in-law's natal family. Since Cao Cao became powerful, people have given people and money to help Cao Cao. At this stage, it can be said that the Ding family has helped Cao Cao more than Cao Cao's own family and the Xiahou family.

.

Now that Cao Cao has achieved success, this kind of help should naturally be rewarded.

The Ding family of Peiguo has been tepid over the years. Now that they are interested in the reputation of the Xun family in Yingchuan, they must suppress the Xun family overtly or covertly.

Under Cao Cao's command, this kind of suppression would definitely require Cao Cao's laissez-faire push.

You must know that the Xun family is not only Yingchuan's leader to a certain extent, but Xun or, Xun You and other Xun family's descendants are capable of doing various jobs under Cao Cao.

"The Xun family in Yingchuan has deep roots. It will not happen overnight if the Ding family wants to replace them. I should be careful and careful." Cao Cao smiled bitterly but cautiously and replied to Liu Cang.

It seems a bit unscrupulous for an emperor and two governors to just sit together and plot against the families under their command, but it has to be said that after reaching a certain level, the pace of development of many things is often somewhat uncontrollable.

Competition or even fighting between the emperor and the aristocratic family is not a bad situation. The worst result is probably that the aristocratic family recruits troops to rebel and cause trouble.

Although that situation may lead to war and killing, this kind of competition is very necessary.

This necessity is not about cultivating people's fighting ability.

Rather, there is competition between the royal family and aristocratic families, and there is competition between powerful aristocratic families. Only with these competitions can the importance of the common people be reflected.

This competition may bring some negative effects, even death.

But if there is no competition, and the powerful and powerful factions are harmonious, or the royal family is dominant, then the common people will probably become pigs.

Well, probably the common people are nothing.

If the common people, who account for the vast majority of the population, can be treated casually, the decline of the nation is inevitable, and a dynasty will almost come to an end.

It should be said that most of the princes' subordinates have never been in harmony. If there is no serious external threat, the princes will fight for hegemony and the princes will fight against the princes. Their subordinates will also fight against them openly and covertly.

Liu Cang handed over the northern region to Cao Cao, and governors like them had great powers. The main thing they needed to deal with was not to kill all the aristocratic families, but to control all kinds of fights within controllable limits.

"When did Xuande enter Yizhou? Liu Fan in Yizhou is mediocre in ability, but Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is more troublesome. And the Five Pecks of Rice Sect must be removed."

Cao Cao could only make general remarks on all matters in the north. Many things had not happened and it was difficult to predict changes. Liu Cang asked Liu Bei again.

"Haha, if Xuande enters Yizhou, I can temporarily transfer Yuan Rang to lead the army, and three thousand degraded people can help Xuande succeed." Cao Cao said with a smile, and Liu Bei thanked him.

Liu Bei is the pending governor of the southwest, and now Cao Cao is getting along well with him.

Liu Cang is in the middle, and there is essentially no real conflict between the two. Even if there is a bad relationship between each other's subordinates in the future, it will be difficult for the two of them to talk in private. If it is really difficult, it will probably be left to Liu Cang, the big boss.

Cao Cao gave Liu Bei help, and Liu Cang also assigned Xu Chu to lead the degraded people to follow Liu Bei to Yizhou.

With enough support behind him, Liu Bei did not have many doubts about taking down Zhang Lu. However, the Five Dou Rice Sect was growing in Hanzhong, and its followers were beginning to expand outward. Liu Bei was not sure about Liu Cang's attitude towards the Five Dou Rice Sect.

.

"Your Majesty, I wonder how far we should go to deal with the Five Dou Rice Cult?" Liu Bei asked Liu Cang.

"Everyone should be eliminated." Liu Cang said coldly, Liu Bei and Cao Cao shrank.

"These religious regimes are really troublesome. There are widespread rumors that the Five Pecks of Rice Cult taught the people and established charity houses. However.

Liu Cang explained softly, while Liu Bei and Cao Cao listened quietly.

"But these sects need to recruit miserable people. To put it bluntly, most of their believers come from miserable people. If the sect wants to develop and grow, it will definitely need more miserable people to educate? Good? Isn't it contradictory?" Liu

Cang smiled.

"Oh, they seek sympathy with suffering, use detachment as a bait, and use ghosts and gods to scare people. These sects who want to establish power in the name of gods and Buddhas are particularly good at fanning. They are even worse than the Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao in the past." Cao Cao said.

Yes, I agree with what Liu Cang said.

He taught the people to respect divine power and despise human affairs, but it is not appropriate to allow it to expand and grow. But this time I am afraid that it will

Let Xuande suffer some injustice." Cao Cao said to Liu Bei.

"Zhang Lu is a hypocritical and self-defeating thief. There is nothing to worry about. He deceives people into donating money and building houses. How can a donation last long? In our Han Dynasty, the vague divine power is flourishing and must be eliminated. But if we want to completely eliminate the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, I am afraid it is not possible.

It’s a matter of one day and one night.”

Liu Bei's expression was solemn. In front of Liu Cang and Cao Cao, Liu Bei did not talk much about benevolence.

"Yizhou is mountainous and has been closed for many years. Zhang Lu drove the people to serve as soldiers. If Zhang Lu and Liu Fan unite, the fight with them may last for a long time and cause serious harm to the people."

"Bei is determined to take Liu Fan first and mediate with Zhang Lu based in Chengdu. Zhang Lu is good at confusing the people. Haha, Bei is not very powerful, but he thinks he is not weak in this regard." Liu Bei said coldly. Liu Cang was briefly stunned and turned to grin.

Laughed.

"Haha, since Xuande has this intention, I will grant you the title of Yizhou Shepherd first. Wuyang Huaxiong can cooperate with you. The mountain road in Yizhou is difficult, so it is not advisable to attack in a hurry. As long as the Five Pecks of Rice Sect is not allowed to leave Yizhou

, the rest can be planned slowly." Liu Cang smiled at Liu Bei.

"Well, I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust." Liu Bei responded with clasped fists.

The three of them were cooing and laughing in the palace, discussing various things, but they had nothing to do with goodness.

Which family should be supported, which family needs to be suppressed, which tribe outside the customs is prosperous, what level of robbery is appropriate, etc.

Both Liu Bei and Cao Cao had the ability to govern the country, but they were not efficient lamps. There was no need for the two of them to hide in front of Liu Cang, and there was no shortage of tricky strategies in the world.

Liu Cang promised that he would crown them kings after they took full control of the territory. However, the two Han governors who had not really embarked on the road of Da Lao felt reluctant and agitated in their hearts.
