Chen Xuan had never been a tactful person.
It was better to please oneself than to please others.
He did not care about the thoughts of people who had nothing to do with his own interests, and he would not empathize with these feudal small landlords.
It was a good thing to have a lot of friends.
However, to him, in this era where his head could fall at any time, it was definitely not the case.
"Brat, you're arrogant!"
Immediately, some people looked indignant, and some even directly cursed.
A few people whispered to each other.
"What's a corpse's meal?"
It was not that these people were illiterate, but that this idiom came from the Han Dynasty.
In this era, there were not many people who looked up to Han Shu.
Naturally, not many people used this word, so it was not an idiom.
"That is to say that we occupy the seats and only take money without doing anything. This is from Sima Qian's slanderous book, History.”
"Oh…"
"How dare you!"
The few people who understood also cursed.
Xi Zhicai was secretly laughing in his heart, but his face remained calm.
He only kept his gaze on Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan pointed out the key point.
This was indeed a good plan, but how to make the dukes listen to this plan was the most important thing.
He already had a draft in his mind.
Originally, he wanted to wait for the others to leave before talking to Cao Cao in private.
Now, it seemed that Chen Xuan also had a countermeasure?
"What do you have to say? Why don't you tell me?”A slightly better strategist asked mockingly.
Cao Cao did not show any obvious reaction.
He didn't reprimand Chen Xuan for being arrogant, nor did he immediately stop everyone from cursing Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan being able to point out the crux of the problem had indeed surprised him.
Chen Xuan pointing out on the spot that this group of dog-headed military strategists were people who were "dead for nothing" was completely beyond his expectations.
People in the world praised Lord Mengchang for his ability to recruit scholars, and scholars attached themselves to him for this reason.
Hence, there were people who stole.
But who said that a thief was not a scholar?
Lord Mengchang was trapped in the State of Qin and his life was at stake.
Relying on the strength of the "Cockcrows and Dogs Thieves", he was able to escape.
The group of people in front of him were his "soldiers".
Cao Cao hated these people, but he also held a little hope.
He hoped that there would be a thief among this group of people who would play an unexpected role at the critical moment.
Wasn't it because of these people that Xi Zhicai stood out?
However, Cao Cao was happy that Chen Xuan was mocking them.
Cao Cao had been young before, so he knew what the young people were thinking.
He was a hothead who looked down on everyone, just like himself back then.
Tai'e Chu was unsheathed, and a cold light rushed towards the bull.
Regardless of whether Chen Xuan had a countermeasure or not.
At least in terms of aura, he did not live up to his name. He was very fierce.
Cao Cao looked at Chen Xuan with admiration, but he realized that Chen Xuan was also looking at him.
Their eyes met.
Chen Xuan did not look sideways, did not avoid, and the heroic spirit between his brows was restrained.
This…
It was too calm.
Chen Xuan was too calm.
Cao Cao frowned, suddenly feeling uncertain.
He had seen countless young and frivolous youths.
However, Chen Xuan had said such arrogant words so calmly and acted so calmly afterwards.
Cao Cao had never seen it before.
Was it because he had always been like this, calm and collected in the face of change?
Or was he deliberately putting on a show to gain her attention?
If this was an act, then his acting skills were a little too good.
Moreover…
If he was really young and frivolous, why didn't he amaze the world with a single brilliant feat from the very beginning?
If she hadn't called him back just now, would he have left?
Cao Cao was suddenly curious about Chen Xuan.
He gestured for everyone to be quiet and then said with a smile,"
"I think Tai Ah's scolding is not bad. You people are all mediocre.
"Tai Ah and all of you came from the Humble Class, but he was able to become Cai Bo Xin's son-in-law. How could he not have some ability?
"Tai Ah, tell us your plan and let these mediocre people open their eyes.”
When everyone heard this, they became even angrier.
It wasn't that he was angry that Cao Cao called them mediocre.
But why did you and I both come from poor families, but why did you have to get close to Cai Bo?!
What else do you have other than a good-looking body?!
And that look of disdain on your face, who do you think you are!?
"I don't have a countermeasure." Chen Xuan shook his head and replied indifferently.
When Cao Cao heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
He was stunned. He didn't know if he should keep his hand in the air or continue to hang it.
Xi Zhicai also frowned and began to re-evaluate Chen Xuan.
The others were stunned by Chen Xuan.
Some people were so angry that they laughed.
Chen Xuan ignored everyone's reaction and continued,"
"As for how to make the dukes listen to Brother Zhicai's plan, I don't have a plan.
"Not only do I not have a countermeasure, none of you here have a countermeasure either.
"In fact, no one in the world would have a countermeasure.”
"Why do you say that?" Xi Zhicai was the first to speak.
Cao Cao looked at Chen Xuan in confusion. At the same time, he retracted his hand and stroked his beard, pretending to be deep in thought.
"Because the other dukes here don't want Dong Zhuo to die.”
Chen Xuan finished speaking.
For a moment, only the panting of the crowd and the crackling of the charcoal fire were left in the tent.
The whole room was shocked.
"Everyone, do you really think that the eighteen vassals are all like my lord?
"In order to uphold the righteousness of the Han Dynasty, you came here to help the king and punish Dong?”
"Isn't that so?" Someone in the crowd asked.
" Of course not." Chen Xuan shook his head.
"Dong Zhuo was born in the wilderness of Liangzhou and came from a humble family.
"He was promoted to Liangzhou governor due to his military achievements, and then to Bingzhou governor. However, he was only a small official of 600 stone.
"Now that I have the emperor in my hands, I have gained power and become a legitimate prime minister.
"The eighteen vassals of the east of the country have all become thieves.”
Chen Xuan looked at Cao Cao and said calmly,"
"I know that my lord and Yuan Benchu have a close relationship, and I also know that distant people should not be close to each other, but I still want to ask my lord a question.
"Dare I ask my lord, Dong Zhuo's family is a wild one, yet he still has such great power.
"Then what would that Yuan Benchu, who has four generations and three dukes and has disciples and old officials all over the world, do once he succeeds in saving the emperor?”
