When Guo Tu said this, he paused, looked at Cao Mengde with burning eyes, and said slowly.
"Meng Degong, the second way is, of course, to raise food on the spot. What do you think?"
"this?"
What kind of person is Cao Mengde? As soon as Guo Tu said these words, he immediately reacted and his expression changed.
Guo Tu looked at Cao Mengde's shocked application and smiled slightly, "Meng Degong, which method do you think is better?"
"this?"
Cao Mengde hesitated again, but still couldn't answer.
The first solution Guo Tu mentioned was that Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, led his troops back to Qingzhou. If this was the case, who would deal with Lu Bu's son?
The most important thing is that once Lu Bu's son knows that Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, has left Yanzhou, he will definitely lead his troops to attack him.
Based on his current situation, he will never be able to stop Lu Bu's attack. When the time comes, he will be defeated and will have no choice but to leave Yanzhou. This is the worst thing that can happen.
Therefore, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, must not leave, otherwise it will be dangerous!
However, the second method mentioned by Guo Tu is not a good method either.
Cao Mengde knew very well that raising food as Guo Tu said was not that simple.
If it was really just to raise some food, there was no need for Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, to say it, because as long as he encountered villages along the way, he could plunder casually and get a lot of food.
However, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, did not go to grab it directly. Instead, he said in front of him that he wanted to raise food.
This means that Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, does not want to rob food. He wants to collect food to supplement military supplies.
Who can confiscate the grain of local people? Of course, only the local parents and officials, no one else has this right.
In this way, Cao Mengde already knew what Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, wanted.
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, wanted to exercise the rights of local officials and collect grain from the people.
He wants to be a parent official for the local people and continue to stay in Juye, and he doesn't even have other plans!
If he agrees to the request of Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, he can legitimately stay in Juye and exercise his right to collect grain.
Slowly, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, will stand firm in Juye. The most important thing is that it is just a Juye, how can it satisfy him.
So the final result is to start from Juye and slowly expand to the surrounding areas.
In other words, as long as Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, continues to fight Lu Bu, he can continue this right every time he captures a city until he captures the entire Yanzhou.
Cao Mengde already knew what Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, wanted, so of course he would not agree and hurriedly shook his head.
"Mr. Gongze, the second method seems inappropriate, right?"
Guo Tu had already expected Cao Mengde's reaction and snorted coldly, "Meng Degong, since the second method is not appropriate, then we will adopt the first method and have no choice but to retreat."
"No!"
Cao Mengde's expression changed and he waved his hand hurriedly, "Mr. Gongze, we can't retreat. Lu Bu hasn't been driven away yet. How can we retreat?"
Guo Tu shook his head, "Meng Degong, if we don't retreat, our army will have no food. What do you think we should do?"
Cao Mengde calmed down, thought carefully, and said slowly, "If the eldest son wants food, I can send people to transport it from Juancheng to replenish military supplies. There is no need to go to such trouble."
