The next morning.
Cao Cao issued a proclamation to appease the people and gathered a crowd to discuss the matter.
"Jing Lue will be the first to take down Puyang and expel Lu Bu!”
"Using a trick at his own game, using a series of surprise soldiers to make Lu Bu panic like a stray dog in two days. Ancient Han Xin was just like that!”
Cao Cao was in a very good mood after banishing Lu Bu. He was not stingy with his praise for Chen Mu's contribution and even used Han Xin as an analogy!
However, all the generals in the tent, regardless of whether they were civil or military, were not convinced!
Be it Xun You, Guo Jia, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, or Yue Jin, they all acknowledged Chen Mu's achievements!
Chen Mu's expression turned solemn." We were able to win this battle because you were a good commander and your soldiers were loyal!"”
"If we want to talk about merit, we should first reward the soldiers who charged into the battle and the heroic souls of the soldiers who died in this battle!”
"Reward the civil and military officials in the tent!"
Cao Cao laughed. Rewards and punishments. Your contribution is the key to this battle, so you should be the first to contribute! Who wouldn't be convinced?"
Immediately.
Cao Cao rewarded according to his achievements, and all the civil and military officials in his tent were rewarded.
Finally.
Cao Cao's tone was filled with anger," Although Puyang has been breached, the most hateful thing is that Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Zhang Miao, and the others have all fled!”
"Lu Bu is a fierce tiger, we can't be careless!" Guo Jia suggested.”
"I suggest that we leave a few soldiers to guard Puyang and focus on chasing after Lu Bu!”
"After Lu Bu lost Puyang, he will definitely borrow food from everywhere. If we let him hoard money and food to cultivate his strength, it will definitely become a huge disaster!”
Xun You also agreed with Guo Jia's strategy.
Cao Cao looked at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu had defeated Lu Bu with a series of surprise attacks, causing Cao Cao to subconsciously favor Chen Mu.
After all.
Chen Mu was a commoner and did not have a family clan. He was also not involved with the aristocrats of the various counties.
Chen Mu shook his head." Lu Bu has already lost Puyang. His defeated soldiers are nothing to worry about!" As a general, it was enough to chase after Lu Bu!”
"The most important thing right now is not Lu Bu, but the upcoming locust plague!”
"The plague of locusts is even worse than Lu Bu!"
"It's almost impossible to stop the locust plague during summer and autumn.”
"The most important thing now is to take advantage of the locust plague before it begins to hoard money and food to prevent the people of Yanzhou from becoming refugees because of the lack of food!”
Chen Mu mentioned the locust plague.
The atmosphere in the commander's tent gradually became oppressive.
"Jing Lue, the locust plague is a natural disaster. It can't be avoided by humans!" Cao Cao said seriously.”
"If I really want to sweep through Yanzhou, it would be difficult for me to even protect myself. How can I prevent the people of Yanzhou from being displaced because they have no food?”
Chen Mu's gaze was burning.”
"Runan's Yellow Turban remnants, He Yi, Huang Shao, and the others, plundered the prefectures and counties. They had a lot of gold, silk, and food.”
"This kind of thief is easy to defeat. We'll defeat the bandits and get food to support the three armies."
"The people of Jingzhou are rich and have a lot of surplus food. You can send people to Jingzhou to buy food with gold and silk to relieve the people of Yanzhou.”
"At the same time, Ming Gong can punish the people of Yanzhou. Anyone who pays money and grain can be pardoned!”
Chen Mu said.?
More than a dozen strategies to deal with the locust plague were blurted out without thinking.
It was clear and logical.
Even the generals like Xiahou Dun who didn't know much were dumbfounded!
"Jing Lue, you…did you already have these thoughts?" Cao Cao was stunned.”
Cao Cao had thought that Chen Mu only wanted to use the locust plague to attack the people of Yanzhou.
However, he never thought that…
Chen Mu really had a strategy to deal with the locust plague!
And there was more than one!
"Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Zhang Miao, and the other rebel forces in Yanzhou have been defeated by you, Duke Ming!" Chen Mu said with a smile.”
"In Yanzhou, no one dares to defy Ming Gong's military might!”
"With the locust plague approaching, Ming Gong has the responsibility of protecting the people in Yanzhou. Any decree and military order will focus on the locust plague.”
"This is a matter of obeying the heavens!”
"Forget about these ten strategies, I can do another ten!”
"People like Chen Gong and Lu Bu fight for victory and defeat on the battlefield. What Ming Gong was fighting for was the hearts of the people in Yanzhou, the general trend of the world!”
"As long as we succeed in dealing with the locust plague this time, Ming Gong's good name will definitely spread throughout the world!”
"At that time, we will march west to welcome the emperor. Ming Gong will truly be invincible!”
Cao Cao was stunned.
Everyone was still discussing Lu Bu's hidden danger.
Chen Mu had already set his sights on the entire world!
"Listening to Jing Lue's words, it's like seeing the clouds and fog.”
"Fengxiao, Gongda, what do you think?”
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and Xun You.
At this moment, Guo Jia and Xun You had complicated expressions.
Guo Jia and Xun You were born in the aristocratic families.
However, the two of them were more concerned about the outcome of the battle with Lu Bu and Chen Gong.
Towards the locust plague, their attitudes were similar to Cao Cao's.
The locust plague was a natural disaster that could not be resisted by humans!
As for whether the commoners would change their children to eat each other because of the locust plague, this was not something that the two of them had to consider!
The two of them were thinking about how to make the people of Yanzhou obey Cao Cao's orders obediently after defeating Lu Bu and Chen Gong!
This had nothing to do with intelligence.
One's birth determined one's brain.
After a long time.
Guo Jia and Xun You bowed to Chen Mu.""I can't compare to Jing Lue's righteousness!"
