After being driven away by Liu Bei, Cao Cao paid homage to my chief military adviser

Chapter 57 Cao Ying's top advisers discuss Chen Mu
Everyone has suspicions in their hearts, but Cao Cao has already confirmed it.

Huo Jun's surrender was due to his true temperament, not Zhuge's trickery.

Cao Cao was very relieved to have such a loyal and brave man.

Like Huo Jun, Cao Cao has seen many generals who choose to join Cao Ying in order to avenge someone.

Such generals are the most useful, and they can fight wherever they point.

It is difficult to become a proud soldier before the great revenge is avenged.

In addition, Huo Jun is such a loyal and brave person.

Before Liu Bei is completely wiped out, it is impossible for Huo Jun to have a second heart.

However, when he came to surrender, he was given a lower official position, and Huo Jun felt annoyed.

The official position given is high, and the soldiers under his command are not fair.

After much deliberation, Cao Cao finally decided to give him the title of lieutenant general for the time being, according to his calculations.

He waved his hand and said loudly:

"It's very comforting to have this loyal and brave general."

"Thinking of your loyalty and bravery, I will make you the commander of the army, take the rank of lieutenant general, and assist Wenpin."

"You look good?"

Although Cao Cao is a question, his words are full of meanings that cannot be disobeyed.

Huo Jun is proud in his heart, I surrendered to you Cao Cao only to avenge the military division.

Army Sima, under the school lieutenant, commanded 400 soldiers and horses.

I think Zhang He was the Sima of the army back then.

It is reasonable to be awarded the title of Sima of the army and the rank of deputy general.

Huo Jun bowed and saluted, and immediately thanked him:

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your kindness!"

He knelt down on one knee and saluted again.

Cao Cao waved his hands and said to the generals:
"You take Huo Jun down and get familiar with the military system."

The generals understood, the prime minister has something important to discuss with the counselors.

"Huo Jun, we will be colleagues from now on. I'm very curious about the military division Chen Mu you mentioned."

Generals Zhang Liao and Cao Zhi led Huo Jun out of the residence successively.

After Huo Jun left, Cao Cao withdrew the smile on his face.

His eyes were like eagles, scanning several counselors.

Brushing off the dust on his body, he whispered:

"Let's talk about it, everyone has their own ideas from just now, now that Huo Jun has retired, you can speak freely."

The prime minister is indeed a prime minister, with his eyes watching all directions and his ears listening to all directions.

Just now, while observing Huo Jun, he also did not forget to observe the reactions of these counselors at the same time.

Regarding this "Chen Mu" who had made him suffer a lot, these counselors in front of him must have their own opinions.

Hearing what the prime minister said, Xun You spoke first.

He grinned and said:
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Prime Minister Juyan."

"I believe that what Huo Jun said is very true, and there is no falsehood."

"Besides, if it's Zhuge's treacherous plan, he shouldn't do such self-destructive things as burning food and grass."

"minister……"

However, Xun You was interrupted by Cao Cao shaking his head as soon as Xun You spoke halfway.

He shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"It's not Huo Jun who asked alone."

"The lonely question is, Chen Mu is still alive."

When the word "alive" came out of Cao Cao's mouth.

Everyone seems to have heard the roar of dragons and tigers, and the cry of mountain eagles.

Several people knew that the prime minister was very serious.

The next answer, don't joke, don't fool around!

If it is wrong, it is related to life.

Sweat dripped from Xun You's forehead, he took a deep breath to calm his mind, and said:
"I think it's hard to live!"

"Leaving from Liu Bei's army, to the north is our army, and to the south is the natural moat of the Yangtze River."

"Even if you don't meet soldiers, there are still bandits around."

"Nowadays the war is raging and horses are chaotic, and it is very difficult for a refugee to live."

"I think even if he is not dead, he is dying."

What Xun You said was not unreasonable.

In the era of war and chaos, there are wars, wars, soldiers, bandits and so on.

Without a family background as an endorsement, it is impossible to move a single step in white clothes.

Xun You's words made Cao Cao ponder for a long time.

Although reason and reality told him that Chen Mu had escaped death, there was absolutely no possibility of him surviving.

But the strong feeling in his heart told him that Chen Mu was still alive.

Such a stunning and brilliant talent should not just disappear in the midst of chaos.

After pondering for a long time, Cao Cao shook his head and said with emotion:

"Think about Chen Mu, who used the golden cicada's plan to escape my [-] elite soldiers. Surprised Xuzhou, beheaded Che Zhou, and captured [-] defenders."

"It's a pity that such a talented person died!"

"If you don't die, you can use it for me... Why worry about the world being unstable? Jiangdong will not be eliminated?"

Hearing Boss Cao's emotion, all the counselors lowered their heads.

The prime minister has many counselors in his hands, but he still expresses such emotion.

It shows that the prime minister feels that the current counselors are not enough and have not made a good plan.

This is their dereliction of duty as advisers.

Jia Xu, who has not said a word, sat in the corner.

He frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Cao Cao was puzzled, so he asked by name:

"Wenhe, what's your opinion?"

When asked by name, Jia Xu was taken aback for a moment, then handed over her hands and confessed all the doubts in her heart:

"Prime Minister, I feel puzzled."

"In order to gain the support of the nobles in Jingzhou, Liu Bei made Zhuge Liang the chief military adviser and replaced Chen Mu. This is understandable."

"But why did you drive Chen Mu away afterwards?"

"Could it be that Liu Bei doesn't know how much hidden danger this move will leave behind?"

"Could it be that there can't be two counselors in an army?"

After Jia Xu finished speaking, Xun You, Chen Qun and others all frowned slightly and nodded slowly.

The same question is also in their hearts.

Cao Cao smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said:
"What's the problem?"

"If a white person is called above you? Are you willing?"

Thinking carefully about Cao Cao's words, several people looked at each other, and they all saw the unwillingness in each other's eyes.

A mere white person without any teacher, why can he be on the head of us who are well-educated in the classics of governing the world?

Cao Cao's words continued:
"It's not that Liu Bei drove Chen Mu away, it's that the Jingzhou gentry couldn't tolerate a white man, and couldn't tolerate Chen Mu in a high position."

"However, Liu Bei can really drive Chen Mu out."

"If Chen Mu really died in the chaos, he, Liu Bei, is the culprit!"

"Think that Liu Bei has always been famous for the word 'benevolence and righteousness'."

"Now, he has done such unjust things as driving Chen Mu away."

"It seems that in order to get the assistance of Jingzhou nobles, Liu Bei really had no choice."

"However, is Chen Mu really dead? How does Gu feel that such a talented person will be able to have both sides, how could he die!"

When others were talking about Chen Mu.

Xu Chu looked at the food on the table and thought of Mr.

Hurry up to visit Mr. and see if Mr. can find Chen Mu for the lord.

Xu Chu was too naive, never asked Chen Mu's name.

He didn't think about too many things, but he just felt that the husband was amazing.

……

Just when Cao Cao and many counselors were discussing Chen Mu.

In the small courtyard where Chen Mu lived, he rested his forehand on his chin, thinking about his way out.

Although living here in Cao Ying is comfortable, there are wine and meat to eat every day, and there are two beauties for company.

But who knows how long such days can last?

Chen Mu still wanted to find an opportunity to sneak into Xudu, and some other cities and counties close to the Central Plains.

If nothing else, at least stable.

Buy some land, find a wife, raise thirty or fifty servants, and hire a dozen tenants to farm for themselves.

Isn't the day of this rich man comfortable and beautiful?
As for Madam Mi and Madam Gan.

Chen Mu turned his head to look at the two beautiful ladies, thoughtfully.

Just when Chen Mu was imagining a bright future.

A rough voice sounded from outside the courtyard door.

You don't need to guess, it must be Xu Chu who is here.
