Chapter 747: Manifesto for the Protection of the People

This is not just about killing the main culprit, but also about exterminating all three clans, and all nine clans will be punished.

The three Yi tribes were not unfamiliar to the Han Dynasty.

Li Si and Han Xin both had their three clans exterminated, but nine clans... is a new term.

And what is the concept of nine clans?
I'm afraid that anyone who has even the slightest blood relationship with the main culprit will be eliminated.

"This……"

After a long time, Xu Shu opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to refute that this act was too brutal.

But when the words came to his lips, he had to swallow them back.

Why should three clans be exterminated and nine clans be punished together?
Isn't it for the sake of protecting the people from disaster?

How can it not be considered benevolence if one goes to such lengths for the people?

Therefore, Xu Shu actually came to a conclusion: because of their benevolence, their nine clans should be killed?

For a moment, even with Xu Shu's intelligence, his head felt like a mess and he didn't know how to start.

"What do you think of Zikun's suggestion?"

When Liu Bei opened his mouth, it seemed that he was asking everyone to analyze the pros and cons, but in fact his expression and tone clearly showed a bias, and he was just short of asking directly: Who agrees and who opposes?

Everyone was silent for a while.

While Xu Shu was still weighing the pros and cons for Liu Bei, Chen Gui, who looked very old, slowly walked out, his hunched back slightly straightening up.

Suddenly, Chen Gui attracted everyone's attention, waiting for Chen Gui's profound speech.

The next moment, Chen Gui cupped his hands and shouted in a hoarse and low voice.

"Your Majesty, what you said makes a lot of sense. I am bold and think I can give it a try."

Xu Shu, who was still young and upright, had a dazed look on his face. He never expected that Chen Gui, who was highly respected in Xuzhou, would "rebel" so quickly.

As Chen Gui spoke, the rest of the people came to their senses.

If the lord insists on his own way, he can still be persuaded.

But now that the lord's ideas have been supported by the state's nobles, it would be tactless to defect.

“That’s true.”

"This move may seem radical, but it is actually for the country and the people, and it is a good policy!"

"Once the proclamation to protect the people is published, the people will always praise the name of the lord's benevolence and win the hearts of the people of the world."

……

For a time, the voices of support and approval were endless, leaving Xu Shu, who was worried, speechless even though he wanted to oppose.

What's more, Xu Shu had to admit that once this unprecedented "Proclamation to Protect the People" was released, it would surely give the people who were suffering in the troubled times more hope of survival.

"If this is the case, my lord will be hated and hated by many people, and it will be difficult for him to support the Han Dynasty and revive the Han Dynasty."

Xu Shu looked at Liu Bei who was already bent over his desk writing the "Exhortation to Protect the People" and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

At the very least, once this "Exhortation to Protect the People" was released, the princes and aristocratic families headed by Cao Cao would certainly not dare to surrender, and the only feasible way was to fight to the death.

In addition, many powerful families also harmed the people and annexed land. Those powerful families were guilty and did not dare to surrender easily.

Suddenly, Xu Shu came to his senses, slowly widened his eyes and muttered.

"My Lord and Teacher, are you trying to conquer the world alone and take this opportunity to eliminate all the stubborn diseases of the Han Dynasty in order to achieve great order after the chaos?"

Thinking of this, Xu Shu's eyes gradually became firmer.

"Yuan Zhi!"

"exist."

Liu Bei, who had been working at his desk for a long time, wrote a "Proclamation to Protect the People" and instructed Xu Shu, "Distribute it to all counties and prefectures in the world so that people will know about it."

"Yes!"

Xu Shu stepped forward quickly and took it respectfully with both hands.

Liu Bei stood up next, his eyes fell on Cheng Yu, and said in a cold voice.

"This manifesto will be sacrificed with the blood of you, the evil official. Your three clans will follow soon, so that you will not be lonely in the underworld."

"Drag him away, paste the "Proclamation to Protect the People" on his body, parade him through the streets for a day, then cut him into pieces and let wild dogs eat him."

For a moment, this "Manifesto to Protect the People" stained with Cheng Yu's blood quickly spread to the entire Han Dynasty with Xia Pi City as its center.

In this "Manifesto to Protect the People", Liu Bei enumerated the crimes of Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu in detail, and bitterly denounced Cao Cao's evil deeds of massacring the city and digging up the Yellow River. He said that Liu Bei would never forgive anyone who harmed the people and would vow to exterminate their entire clan.

Moreover, for those who repeat evil deeds like Cao Cao, the punishment of three clans will be added to that of other clans, and even nine or ten clans may be exterminated.

It can be said that wherever the "Manifesto to Protect the People" goes, people are amazed and shocked.

People were shocked by Cao Cao's digging of the Yellow River, and even more amazed by Liu Bei's determination.

Many wealthy and powerful families were shocked and frightened; many common people were grateful to Liu Bei and were deeply moved.

……

Soon, this manifesto reached Cao Cao's camp on the south bank of Jizhou Boundary Bridge.

As the "Manifesto to Protect the People" spread within Cao's army, everyone in the army was filled with fear and anxiety.

If we count them carefully, most of Cao's troops had participated in looting and massacre under the orders and indulgence of Cao Cao.

If he were captured by Liu Bei, whose reputation was growing, the consequences would be the punishment of three clans.

In this era where filial piety and offspring are particularly important, the punishment of three entire clans is enough to make any desperate person hesitate.

When this manifesto, every word of which was barely enough to curse Cao Cao, was delivered to Cao Cao's desk, all the civil and military officials below were terrified, waiting for Cao Cao's rage.

Cao Cao's expression also kept changing dramatically as he read the "Exhortation to Protect the People".

It can be said that with the publication of "Exhortation to Protect the People", Cao Cao's notoriety will instantly spread throughout the Han Dynasty. He will be completely despised by the world and even be infamous for eternity.

Moreover, if Cao Cao were defeated, both the Cao and Xiahou families would be implicated, and there would be no trace of Cao Cao's bloodline to continue in the world.

The atmosphere in the central army tent was as heavy and tense as before a storm.

Cao Cao slammed the "Manifesto to Protect the People" in his hand on the table and burst into laughter.

"Ahahahaha, I didn't expect that Liu Da'er, who was born into a family of mat weaving and shoe selling, could have such literary talent. Every word he wrote was heart-piercing and full of power. Could it be that he thinks of me, Cao, as a fish to be slaughtered at will?"

Cao Cao's reaction was different from what everyone expected, and all the civil and military officials in the tent were stunned for a moment.

Cao Cao took in everyone's expressions and spoke with a confident and calm face as usual.

"Are you worried about this manifesto?"

No one answered Cao Cao, but this is also an answer.

To punish three generations of a family is not a treatment that ordinary people can enjoy, let alone a normal person can accept.

Everyone had their own reasons for following Cao Cao, but who could completely ignore the infamy and the consequences of having his entire clan implicated?

Cao Cao said with a big laugh.

"It is still unclear who will win."

"Moreover, Liu Da'er claims to be benevolent and virtuous, and slanders us as brutal thieves. This is really ridiculous."

"If I am defeated by Yuan Shao, I will be labeled a traitor and die here. What's the harm?"

"We can wait until we unify Hebei and then go south to the Central Plains to fight Liu Da'er for supremacy. Who is the thief?" (End of this chapter)
