"This time, we definitely can't let him get away with it. This guy lost his troops to pacify the bandits and messed up the territory.”
Cao Ren was the first on Cao Cao's right.
The tall and strong Cao Ren was sitting upright behind the desk with his hands on the table. His expression was very solemn.
"Although Yi Feng is my general, I don't dare to protect him in this matter.”
"Runan belongs to Yangzhou and borders with Xuzhou. The matter of pacifying the bandits should be done by Yuan Shu and Tao Qian.”
These words caused the tent to fall silent.
Xi Zhicai was the military counselor, so he nodded in deep agreement.
Suppressing rebellions was the responsibility of the various dukes.
This was because suppressing a rebellion could gain fame, the hearts of the people, soldiers, population, and so on.
Compared to this, the food and property that they had snatched from the bandits were secondary.
With Xu Zhen's departure, regardless of whether he won or lost, he had caused a huge amount of trouble.
Yuan Shu would definitely go to war and even Tao Qian would join forces to attack Yanzhou.
These two people were originally at odds with each other. Once they joined forces, they would more or less fall into a bitter battle.
"Humph, big brother, we would rather have mediocre generals than people who mess up the army.”
"Military discipline is so important now. If he could disobey the military order and secretly leave today, he could also secretly surrender in the future.”
"General Zihe, you can't say that.”When Xun Yu heard this, he immediately reminded him.
Xu Zhen did not have such thoughts at first. If these words became rumors and spread out, things that did not happen might still happen.
These generals all had their own ulterior motives as they spoke at once.
They had no enmity with Xu Zhen, but the main thing was that everyone strictly followed the military orders. Only he was independent and nothing happened!？
How could this be reasonable?
This was definitely not going to work.
" Okay." Cao Cao was silent for a long time. He kept a straight face and could not smile. Hearing these words, he also had a headache.
He could only say this for the time being to calm the people.
He had no choice.
Only by punishing Yi Feng and establishing military prestige could he restrain himself a little.
It could be considered as protecting him…
Yi Feng this young man really had the talent of a great general.
In the future, he would definitely be able to focus on nurturing them.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao continued,"When the news comes back, I will punish you severely.”
"Everyone, please wait a little longer."
Cao Cao swept his gaze across the crowd, his hand clenched tightly under the documents.
At this moment, he hoped that Xu Zhen would gain something and make a great contribution.
Otherwise, the general of his clan would definitely not let it go and would not be biased.
"Hey, alright!"
"Big brother is wise! He should have been punished long ago!"
"Yes, we should fix it!”
"Wait for the report to come back. Brother Zixiao, don't be biased. Just take it as a loss. If you keep such a general, you will sooner or later cause trouble.”
Cao Chun patted Cao Ren's shoulder.
For a moment, he felt extremely relaxed.
At this moment, the horses outside the door neighed. The scouts had really come, but they were not Cao Cao's men.
When he entered the tent, he saw the silver armor and the blue feathers on the helmet…
This was too obvious. It was Xu Zhen's people.
Of all the soldiers in the camp, his camp was the most arrogant. It even had decorations.
It would be good enough if the other camps could get a set of light armor for each person. Not only did he have the armor in stock, but he also had the remaining money to buy decorations.
Moreover, he was still crying about being poor every day.
"My lord! General sent me to report!"
Cao Cao had been waiting for a long time, so he wasn't surprised to see the scouts.
But he was looking forward to it.
It felt like he was waiting for his results.
He wanted to know, but he didn't dare to.
He was afraid that the outcome would be bad and he would not be able to take it.
Cao Cao sat upright, his face ashen. He suddenly said,""Tell me, what's the situation?"
"When the general arrived in Runan, he saw the leader of the bandits, Ge Bei, besieging the village. He waited for three days until Ge Bei's soldiers and horses had lost their morale.”
"Alright, there are more than three thousand surrendered soldiers and five thousand local soldiers of the Xu family.”
"We obtained six thousand sets of armor, one thousand four hundred yellow horses, three thousand stones of rations, six thousand catties of gold, one thousand feet of cloth, and the rest of the gold, silver, and jade.”
"In addition, the general sent me to inform my lord that Qiao County and Runan have been pacified. We can take over this place and guard against Shouchun. Thus, we can isolate Yang and Xu. They have never been connected and do not dare to attack each other.”
After he finished speaking, the tent was filled with silence.
It was quiet. The lively situation just now seemed like a dream.
Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai lowered their heads and wrote official documents.
Cao Chun and Cao Ren were stunned.
He didn't understand…
F * ck, I didn't give you the source of soldiers, but you still got so many things when you went home?
It was so dark.
It was priceless…
There were 5,000 local soldiers and 3,000 surrendered soldiers. How many people had been pulled out all of a sudden?
Moreover, he had gained a lot of military supplies and money.
He was rich!
"This kid, after all this time, he has gone to make a fortune…"
Cao Ren muttered.
He fell into deep doubt.
I also pacified the bandits, why the more pacified the more poor.
Why can't I catch this kind of bandit leader?
Cao Ren patrolled the surrounding area to quell the bandits and maintain public order. Other than receiving a few words of praise from his fellow villagers, he did not receive any gold, silver, or treasures.
This was really…
Cao Cao cleared his throat and suddenly laughed.
This smile made the originally quiet tent liven up, and the gazes of the few people turned to him.
Cao Cao laughed for a while, and his expression gradually became smug. He looked around and said,"Do you understand?"
"Understand what?"
Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were stunned.
Cao Ren and Cao Chun stared at Cao Cao.
"I knew long ago that he left Chen Liu.”
Cao Ren's eyes widened and he said in surprise,""This, Big Brother secretly arranged it?"
"Hmph!"
Cao Cao smiled arrogantly.
On the left, Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.
Was there such a huge difference in attitude?
Moreover, the words of taking credit were quite similar to those of certain people. Was the lord also affected?
He had become a little…shameless.
