Chapter 138 Cao Mengde, he has rebelled!
Chat group.

Cao Mengde: "I have made up my mind to first eliminate the rebels and their followers, then incorporate the various loyalist forces in Luoyang, use the emperor to command the princes, replace the local aristocratic families with the Martial Arts Temple, and win the support of the people. I request that my two elder brothers, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Jinnan, provide 10,000 Xiantian soldiers, and the expenses will be settled according to the usual practice!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "This is the kind of boldness that Prime Minister Cao should have. Ten thousand Xiantian soldiers will be in place immediately. As for the cost, I can give you one point per person per month."

Cao Mengde: "Thank you!"

Ten thousand points is equivalent to ten million taels of gold. Although it is a lot, Cao Cao was very clear about the wealth of the entire Han Dynasty's powerful clans. After eliminating a few major clans, he would definitely have that amount!

Moreover, given the level of innate experts, 10,000 people would be enough to sweep through the entire thirteen states of the Great Han Dynasty in a month, and would even have the capacity to expand outwards!

Setting a deadline was actually a good thing for Cao Cao, as it relieved him of his original worry that the problem would become too big to handle!

The Han Dynasty's army was never actually weak, but it failed to continue expanding outwards for two reasons: one was the constant internal strife, and the other was that the imperial court never had enough money and supplies.

Chen Jinnan: "Prime Minister Cao can rest assured that the grain needed to pacify the people can be purchased in large quantities from Miss Xiaoling at an extremely low price, which will be enough for you to quell the chaos caused by the powerful clans!"

Empress of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion: "In fact, the people are aware of the sins of the powerful clans and aristocratic families, but they dare not speak out against the government's anger. As long as we can give them hope, the change of the dynasty will happen faster than you imagine!"

……

The Three Kingdoms world

"This is a list of the top 100 powerful families and clans in the thirteen provinces of the Han Dynasty. Each of you should take an elite force and make sure to capture them all, ensuring that no accidents occur in the area!"

Cao Cao distributed the maps compiled by Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and others to his trusted confidants, including Cao Ren. His imposing gaze swept across the entire room as he said, "This operation concerns the Immortal's evaluation of us. We must execute it flawlessly. Anyone who delays, leaks information, or embezzles funds will be executed without being burned!"

"I will obey your command, my lord!"

Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and the others bowed in unison and agreed.
Thanks to the enhancement from the Hundred Herbs Elixir that Cao Cao exchanged, they now all possess at least the Innate level, several times stronger than before. They deeply admire the immortal Li Changsheng that Cao Cao spoke of, and naturally, they will not let a little money hinder their promising future.
"Once we've dealt with the powerful clans and consolidated our internal affairs, you can emulate Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in expanding our territory in the Central Plains. In the future, you'll be appointed as envoys and prime ministers, praised and revered by countless people, and may even have the chance to ascend to godhood as martial gods!"

Seeing that morale was good, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction and spoke again.

"I am willing to die in the service of my lord!"

Cao Ren and the others became even more excited.
The story of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing sealing the wolf's lair has long been an idol for everyone in the Han Dynasty. These generals have been aiming to drive the northern barbarians out of the north since they were young. Now that they have the opportunity to achieve this, they are naturally full of motivation!

"Very good, the 10,000 elite troops that the immortals are supporting us will arrive soon. You must learn as much as you can from them!"

Cao Cao said solemnly,
The reason he chose to borrow troops from Zhu Yuanzhang was not only because he did not have enough trusted confidants and points at the moment, but also because he hoped to give Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and other direct subordinates a learning opportunity!

"Please rest assured, my lord!"

Seeing the teleportation portal that suddenly appeared in the void, and the well-disciplined and imposing Ming army, Cao Ren and the others became even more eager to see the God of War that Cao Cao had mentioned. They quickly followed Guo Jia's orders and divided into thirteen large teams and more than a hundred small teams, each heading to their respective targets!
Ten thousand martial artists with innate level or above are like heavenly soldiers and generals to the Han Dynasty. If they still can't handle a few powerful clans, they might as well just smash their heads against a wall and die.

"Remember, after confiscating the mansions of these powerful families, we must publicly try them for their past crimes, return the ill-gotten gains to their rightful owners, and win the support of more people!"

At Cao Cao's signal, Guo Jia, who was not yet of age, said with a spirited expression, "As a poor scholar, Guo Jia not only had an extremely difficult path to learning, but also faced repeated exclusion after completing his studies. He was unable to put his knowledge to use and could only drown his sorrows in wine every day. Now, he has finally ushered in the moment to hold his head high!"
"Fengxiao will take charge of the affairs in each prefecture. Remember, you must promote the immortal's martial arts and compulsory education as soon as possible to build a solid foundation in the hearts of the people!"

Cao Cao solemnly instructed,
With his keen insight and the growing influence in the chat group, he naturally understood that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. As long as he could win over the vast majority of the people to his side, whether it was a constitutional monarchy or his own ascension to the throne, it would be a simple matter.

As for those aristocratic clans that originally seemed extremely powerful, they are nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs in front of him now!

The hard-earned money that has been embezzled for so many years should be used to build up the Central Plains, so that more people can benefit and the foundation of the Cao family's dynasty can be laid!

Ambitious as Cao Cao always strives to be the best in everything he does, and he is unwilling to be at the bottom of the chat group or even be eliminated!
"Wenhe, you said you want to take control of the entire capital region as soon as possible. What method is most effective?" After sending the armies of each state to their destinations one by one using the spatial abilities of the Celestial Being, Cao Cao turned back to look at the shadows behind him and asked.

"Dong Zhuo's actions have long aroused the wrath of both Heaven and the people. If our lord wishes to kill him, he will immediately gain the support of the vast majority of the people!"

"But once Dong Zhuo dies, the vacant court will become a new easy target!"

Jia Xu, dressed in black, emerged from behind the screen and spoke respectfully.

"You mean, take this opportunity to wipe out all the officials closely connected with powerful clans?"

Cao Cao's expression changed slightly.
History books clearly state that these powerful families and officials are all opportunists. They temporarily attach themselves to whoever is most powerful, but they will switch sides at the slightest sign of trouble. All the feudal lords, including him, have been stabbed in the back many times!
"My lord is wise!"

Jia Xu bowed and said.

"The stability of Luoyang is now in your hands!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly.

Although the name "Poisonous Strategist" sounds unpleasant, it is often more useful. When combined with Guo Jia, who is in the open, it can help stabilize the Central Plains.

"My subordinate understands!"

Jia Xu's expression changed slightly, then became stern.

The situation is now completely different. Cao Cao has divine assistance, and although his strategies are radical, they truly meet the needs of the people. Conquering the throne will be a piece of cake for him in the future. As long as Jia Xu, this sharp weapon, is not abandoned, his future is also promising.

Even Jia Xu couldn't resist the temptation of immortality or even ascension to immortality.

"Remember, you must persuade Diao Chan and the others to go to the Martial Arts God Stage and sincerely serve the Immortal!"

Cao Cao spoke again.

Jia Xu was slightly taken aback, then bowed and took his leave!

Luoyang Imperial Palace
"Prime Minister, something terrible has happened!"

Li Ru stumbled into the main hall, his voice panicked.

"But those bastards are looting again. Just tell them to behave themselves."

The drunken Dong Zhuo waved his hand dismissively, signaling the ladies-in-waiting to continue their singing and dancing.

"My lord, it's Cao... Cao Mengde, he's rebelled!"

Li Ruping caught his breath from the rapid run before speaking urgently.

"That Cao traitor is nothing but a child. Let Fengxian kill him!"

Dong Zhuo was even more dismissive.

Now that he has Lu Bu, the most powerful general in the world, under his command, he really doesn't take Zhen Cao seriously.
