In the past, Yang Xiu's eyes were higher than the top, and he didn't put Cao Mao in his eyes at all.

In his opinion, Cao Mao is just a brave and powerful man with only brute force.

However, until now, Yang Xiu suddenly realized that under the appearance of a fierce tiger, Cao Mao is actually a poisonous snake that chooses people to eat!
Every word that came out of Cao Mao's mouth was like a heavy hammer, hitting Yang Xiu's heart one after another!

But he had to admit that Cao Mao was right.

I have only a little cleverness, and my eyes are only on the little Xu Ducheng.

But Cao Mao looked at the world, and his opponents were princes like Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao!
Looking at Yang Xiu who was in a daze, Cao Mao just smiled contemptuously, turned around and walked away.

Prime Minister's House.

Inside the study.

"Mao'er, you really did not live up to your father's expectations!"

Cao Cao put down the confession in his hand, and couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on his face.

For his praise, Cao Mao just smiled lightly.

Cao Cao looked at the confession letter on the case table again, his expression became gloomy,

"Yang Biao is really an old man, and the emperor is also confused! If it weren't for me, they would have been murdered by Li Jue, Guo Si and others!"

"Mao'er, in your opinion, how should we deal with Yang Biao?"

Cao Mao thought for a while, then said coldly,
"Yang Biao intends to harm his father. According to the law, he is regarded as an accomplice to treason, and he should copy and kill his family!"

"Okay, I'll order someone to draft the imperial edict."

"Father, I have a plan,"

Looking at the doubtful Cao Cao, Cao Mao smiled coldly,
"It's better to let the emperor personally announce that the whole family of the Yang family will be executed, first to warn the ministers, and second, to let them see what kind of person the emperor they are loyal to is!"

As soon as this remark came out, Cao Cao couldn't help but applaud,
"This is a great plan! Just do as you say!"

……

At the court meeting the next day, under the coercion of Cao Cao, the emperor Liu Xie was forced to order that all Yang family members including Yang Biao, Yang Xiu and his son be executed!

The downtown execution ground.

The surrounding area is full of soldiers in uniform and swords, full of murderous aura.

The Yang family, headed by Yang Biao, Yang Xiu and his son, were all put on torture tools.

The common people around are pointing at Yang Biao and others,

"You actually murdered Prime Minister Cao, damn it!"

"This is the national thief!"

For ordinary people, the distinction between good and bad is nothing more than who can make them live a good life.

Cao Cao cared about people's livelihood, paid attention to water conservancy, and reduced taxes many times.

With the help of Cao Mao, he promoted high-yield wheat seeds.

Now the imperial court governs the territory, and there is no famine anymore.

Therefore, in the hearts of the people, Cao Cao is naturally the best official in the world!
"Father, you put all your heart into the sake of the Son of Heaven, but you have brought the whole family to a dead end, and even ended up being scolded by all the people. Is it worth it?"

Yang Xiu looked at Yang Biao with a miserable smile.

Yang Biao's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

He is not afraid of death.

But being so cast aside by the people made him feel worse than death!

The officer in charge of supervising the execution glanced at the sky, then shouted loudly,
"Yang Biao, Yang Xiu and others intended to murder the prime minister, and today they are sentenced to the head of a lord, and executed!"

The flesh-faced executioner walked forward slowly with a big knife in his arms.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"..."

A series of beheading sounds sounded, and everyone in the Yang family was beheaded!

A tea shop not far away.

The private room on the second floor leans against the railing.

Cao Mao took everything that happened on the execution ground into his eyes.

Without changing his face, he picked up a cup of tea and sipped it lightly.

Perhaps Yang Biao, Yang Xiu, Hua Tuo, and Huang Kui could all be regarded as loyal men, but since they stand in front of him, he will naturally not show any mercy.

In any case, in this bloody and chaotic world, the deaths of the few of them are like waves splashing in the rolling river, and they will be silent in a few days.

"Yuhuatian."

Cao Mao called out.

Yuhuatian, who had been standing behind him all this time, walked forward slowly,
"What are your orders, my lord?"

"You have been lurking in Xudu, how is the task assigned to you going?"

"Reporting to my lord, the task you ordered has been completed."

Yu Huatian said respectfully,
"Three thousand dead men were led by the subordinates and the two sons respectively, and successfully lurked in Xudu City."

"That's very good, remember not to act rashly without my order."

Cao Mao patted him on the shoulder, and there was a chill in his eyes.

Ever since there was a gap between him and Cao Cao because of passing on the jade seal of the country, Cao Mao had prepared in advance for a father-son breakup.

Although the relationship between father and son has eased a lot after returning to Xudu this time, you must know that Cao Cao also thought about letting Cao Zhi succeed him in history, but in the end he chose Cao Pi.

Cao Mao will not let down his vigilance until all the dust settles.

I control my own life!
This is Cao Mao's code of conduct.

Now that things are over here, it's time to go to Nanyang County.

Cao Mao thought to himself.

……

After staying in Xudu for a few days, Cao Mao set off again, taking Zhou Cang, Xu You and others all the way south.

After a few days' journey, the group entered Nanyang County.

It's just that after entering Nanyang County, the scene along the way made Cao Mao and others a little confused.

With a large population and fertile land, Nanyang County can definitely be regarded as the richest county in the world.

But this time, the fields on both sides of the road were barren, and there was no one in the houses.

Such an abnormal scene really made everyone puzzled.

Just less than five miles away from Wancheng, Cao Mao and others finally saw a living person.

But it was a young boy with an immature face, kneeling in front of the grave and weeping bitterly.

Zhou Cang stepped forward, talked to the young man, and brought him to Cao Mao.

"What's your last name, why are you crying here?"

Cao Mao asked.

The young man wiped away his tears, collected himself, his complexion regained his composure, and his voice was crisp and clear,

"My son, the name of the grassroots is Deng Fan. He was originally from Dengjiazhuang in Xinye. In the past few months, the disease has been raging. A hundred people in the village, big and small, all died of the disease."

"Caomin escaped with his parents, but unfortunately his parents died. It was Caomin's parents who were buried in the grave, so Caomin wept here."

Everyone on the side was shocked.

No wonder they walked all the way, and the places they went were deserted, and it turned out that the disease was raging!
Looking at the red-eyed teenager Deng Fan in front of them, they couldn't help but sigh.

"My lord, if this young man is left here alone, I'm afraid he won't survive for a few days. He's smart, why don't you take him into account?"

Zhao Yun was full of sympathy for this lonely boy.

"Alright."

Cao Maoyi nodded and looked at Deng Fan,
"Would you like to follow me?"

Among other things, Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang and others have extraordinary backgrounds just from their excellent armor.

And Cao Mao, who is the leader of the crowd, is even more generous.

As an orphan, Deng Fan naturally did not hesitate at all when he heard Cao Mao's words.

"Deng Fan has met the lord!"

He accepted his bow and bowed.
