"Ming Gong!"
Xun Yu and Guo Jia came together.
Cao Cao told Xun Yu and Guo Jia the information that Xiahou En had gathered.
"Wen Ruo, I can dispel your doubts now!" Guo Jia chuckled. Unless Chen Mu was playing a deadly game, there was no way he could be Liu Bei's spy.”
"But even if it is a death trap, the one who should be killed should be Yuan Shao, not Ming Gong.”
Xun Yu was still cautious." However, this person was able to force the aristocratic families of Pingyuan County to join forces to pressure Liu Bei. They wanted Liu Bei to kill Chen Mu to show his determination. It can be seen that he is too unconventional in governing a county. He is not tolerated by the secular world."”
"Although I don't know how Chen Mu managed to change his ways and offend the aristocratic families of Pingyuan County, I'm still curious.”
"However, Ming Gong has just pacified Yanzhou and the people have yet to submit. You need to be careful and not be too hasty.”
"Chen Mu can be used, but he can't be used too much!”
Xun Yu didn't say it explicitly.
However, they had doubts about Chen Mu's talent.?
He was able to force the aristocratic families of a county to work together to force the Minister of a county to kill Chen Mu. After that, he even hid the reason behind it so that no one could easily find out.?
Even though he did not know the details, Xun Yu could guess that Chen Mu's governance policy was rather radical!
Therefore, Xun Yu hinted to Cao Cao that Chen Mu could be used, but not too much!
Guo Jia, however, had a different opinion.”
"Ming Gong has just pacified Yanzhou and is in urgent need of talents. It is a reckless waste to have talents but not use them.”
"In troubled times, heavy laws should be used. Even if it's an unconventional sword, as long as it can achieve its goal, it's worth it!”
"As for the possibility of the aristocratic families joining forces to suppress us, Wen Ruo is here to mediate!”
"Although I haven't spoken to Chen Mu in detail, analyzing Chen Mu's past information is enough to show that he has literary talent, martial strategy, and strategic planning.”
"This person's talent is rare in the world."
"How can we abandon it just because it's unconventional?”
"And how can Liu Bei compare to Ming Gong's magnanimity?”
Xun Yu and Guo Jia both had their own opinions.
Cao Cao couldn't make a decision.
At this moment.
Someone reported Cheng Yu's arrival.
Cao Cao was delighted and quickly asked Cheng Yu for his opinion.
Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and said," I went to the posthouse just now. I saw that Chen Mu's Yellow Turbans were unwilling to give up. I asked around secretly and they all said that you looked down on their Chief and had the intention of leaving."”
" I wanted to appease Chen Mu, but I saw Chen Mu playing chess with Guan Hai. However, Guan Hai's chess skills were terrible, so I was itching to play with him."”
"But he was defeated consecutively."
Xiangqi had already appeared during the era of the Zhou emperor.
Because of its hidden military tactics, it was very popular among the middle and upper classes.
Cheng Yu was one of the best.
Cao Cao was intrigued." Zhongde specializes in Chinese chess, but he has been defeated consecutively. Interesting."”
" Duke Ming," Cheng Yu said in a serious tone," the reason why I've been defeated in successive matches is not because I'm not good at chess. It's because Chen Mu has given me a new set of rules for chess."”
"New rules?" Cao Cao was stunned.
"Chen Mu has said that war is the art of deception!" Cheng Yu said. How could they stick to the old habit of 'crossing the river to advance and retreat to be ominous?' Five weapons can be used in succession, can advance and retreat, can cut off chariots, can kill soldiers, can drive elephants, can seize artillery, can also trap generals.”
Cao Cao was stunned,"Isn't this cheating?"”
" I asked Chen Mu the same question," Cheng Yu said." But Chen Mu said," How can there be unchanging rules in this world?" If reforming the old and renovating the new was cheating, then Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han were all cheating!”
"This Chen Mu is quite interesting!" Guo Jia laughed. He was passionate about the reform in Pingyuan County, but he was forced by the aristocratic families and betrayed by the old master.”
"Now, he is using the Dao of Xiangqi to test Ming Gong. If Ming Gong is not satisfied, this person will probably leave again!”
Xun Yu frowned." It is not advisable to follow the rules, but it will not last long if you go too far. Is Chen Mu trying to imitate Lord Shang?"”
Lord Shang?
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows.
Although Shang Yang had died, the reform had succeeded.
It changed the old Qin's shortcomings and allowed the weak Qin country to gradually become the strongest feudal lord.
If Chen Mu really had such ability, wouldn't he be the talent that I, Cao Cao, yearned for?
Although Cao Cao was based in Yanzhou, he had beaten Tao Qian up.
But in Yanzhou, it was still difficult for Cao Cao.
Just like the Taishan Prefecture Governor, Cao Cao knew that Ying Shao was exaggerating, but he still had to rely on Ying Shao to manage Taishan County!
if you don't use your official name.
Apart from Juancheng, Fan County, and Dong 'e, Cao Cao could not manage any of the other counties in Yanzhou!
Being the herdsman of Yanzhou was not something Cao Cao could do.
It was because the aristocrats of Yanzhou thought that Cao Cao could take the throne!
This was reality.
It was also one of Cao Cao's most difficult situations!
Thinking about this.
Cao Cao suddenly stood up." I've neglected you. Tonight, I'll hold a banquet and invite Chen Mu to drink with me!"”
