After Cao Cao finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became much better, and Mao Jie was even more moved.
In fact, under Cao Cao's account, these counselors got along relatively harmoniously, and many of the disputes were over the remarks made at that time.
Like Mao Jie, it was Xun Yu who introduced him to Cao Cao. For Mao Jie, Xun Yu had the favor of recommending him.
These are the people under Cao Cao. Even if their views are proven wrong in the end, no one will continue to criticize them, and they will admit their mistakes frankly, and Cao Cao will not blame them. This is how we have such a good Atmosphere.
Just like Xun Yu sometimes made some suggestions to Cao Cao, others would follow suit, without any of the tenseness and personal grudges of Yuan Shao's counselors.
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at a few people and immediately smiled.
"Cao totally agrees with what you said. To be honest, I don't think it's possible, but as Xiaoxian said, it's somewhat possible.
Now you all know the situation in Yanzhou. If Lu Bu really comes to vote, he will not only survive this crisis, but also grow stronger in an instant.
However, we have to consider that this is Chen Gong's plan. Now, it is useless for us to speculate here. It is better to test him and find out the truth! "
Xun Yu was a little worried at first, but after hearing this, he was also a little curious.
"Lord, how should I test it?"
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes flashed.
"Since Lu Bu is willing to surrender to me, it would be reasonable to send some food and grass first.
I will reply later and ask him to prepare 100,000 tons of grain and grass and transport it to 20 miles outside Xiaopei. I will ask Yuan to let them lead troops to receive the grain and grass.
Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, at least these provisions can effectively alleviate our current difficulties. As long as we get through this period, even if it is false, why should I be afraid of Lu Bu! "
Cao Cao's eyes were full of light, and he could see this. As long as Lu Bu was willing to send food, although it didn't completely mean that he sincerely surrendered, it was at least very likely.
If it is really a ruse, he will get the food and grass when the time comes, and then let Lu Bu come over on his own. If he doesn't come, and it is really a ruse, he can get 100,000 grains for nothing, which is also a big profit for Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao finished speaking, Xun Yu and others also laughed. They could also imagine that if it was a trick, even if Lu Bu didn't want it, they would not lose anything. If the food and grass were really sent, no matter whether it was true or false, they would definitely make a profit.
"My lord, your plan is wonderful."
After Xun Yu finished speaking, everyone laughed.
Later, Cao Cao called Xia Houchun, Cao Ren and Le Jin to arrange the matter immediately, and wrote a reply to Lu Bu.
But after making arrangements, Mao Jie spoke again.
"My lord, Yanzhou is in a difficult situation now. We cannot place all our hopes on Lu Bu. I have a plan that can alleviate the problem of food and grass. However, it will take a certain amount of time to be effective."
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Xian Xian, just say it, if it is feasible, then let it go."
Mao Jie immediately continued.
"My lord, the strategy is to use the army to hoard the land and implement military garrison.
Now that the army has nothing to do, it can be carried out by the army. Even after this difficulty, the army can still carry out the work when it is free.
In this way, the food and grass obtained by the military camp can also be used for the army, and there is no need to worry about the food and grass problem of the army in the future. "
After hearing this, Xun Yu felt very good for a moment and immediately handed over his hand.
"My lord, I second my opinion on the policy of filial piety."
Cheng Yu also spoke immediately.
"My lord, I agree with you."
Cao Cao thought for a while and immediately agreed. Although this method cannot directly solve the current problem, starting from the second year, Cao Cao will no longer face the current problem.
"Okay, Xiaoxian's plan is excellent. Xiaoxian will be fully responsible for this matter. Everyone in Yanzhou will cooperate with Xiaoxian. If you want to do it, you must do it well and solve it thoroughly!"
Cao Cao immediately made up his mind about this matter, and he would spare no effort to support anything that was beneficial.
After hearing this, Mao Jie immediately accepted the order with a solemn voice. He was also determined to do this well, otherwise he would be ashamed of Cao Cao's full support and trust in him.
And Lu Bu from Xuzhou, after arranging for Zang Ba, Xu Sheng and others, started his reading journey again.
The arrival of Zang Ba and others was also greatly welcomed by Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others. For a while, everyone talked about the situation in Xuzhou to Zang Ba and Xu Sheng.
When it was said that Lu Bu now loved reading, Zang Ba, Xu Sheng and others were full of surprise and disbelief.
If Lu Bu likes to wield Fang Tian's painted halberd, they won't have the slightest doubt. Reading?
Is this really the Lu Bu they heard about? It has nothing to do with what they imagined, okay?
Even Xu Sheng, although he felt that Lu Bu was very different from what he had heard, he could not accept the fact that Lu Bu was reading.
Seeing that Zang Ba and Xu Sheng didn't believe it, Zhang Liao and others looked at each other and laughed inexplicably.
"Xuan Gao, Wen Xiang, I know you don't believe it, let alone you, even we didn't believe it when we first heard it.
I also know that no matter what we say, you will all have doubts in your hearts, but if you see it with your own eyes, you will believe it, right?
Come on, I'll take you to have a look. You'll know after you take a look. "
After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he looked at Zang Ba and Xu Sheng with a mysterious look, making these people full of curiosity.
Zang Ba couldn't help it immediately.
"Then what are you waiting for, Wenyuan, take us to see it quickly."
Everyone immediately prepared to go together, and Gao Shun also spoke up at this time.
"You go ahead, I'm going to the military camp. Someone must be watching the camp to avoid a sudden war."
After Gao Shun finished speaking, Zang Ba, Xu Sheng and others felt ashamed, as did Zhang Liao and others.
Later, Cao Xing, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Song Xian and others also spoke out together.
"Wen Yuan, take Xuan Gao and Wen Xiang to them. Gao Shun is right, there must be someone in the military camp.
I'm going to train the army. What's more, we are determined to practice martial arts diligently and not let the lord down.
Xuan Gao and Wen Xiang, you don’t have to be surprised. If you go and see how hard the lord works, you will be like me. "
After a few people finished speaking, they immediately went down with Gao Shun, leaving only Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Xu Sheng and others.
At this time, Zhang Liao's heart was a little heavy and he was not as happy as before. Zang Ba and Xu Sheng were impressed by the self-discipline of Gao Shun and others, and they were even more curious about Lu Bu.
"Let's go, I'll take you there now."
Zhang Liao no longer thinks about it. He just wants to take Zang Ba and others over to have a look, and then he will work hard.
Soon, Zhang Liao took Zang Ba, Xu Sheng and others to the courtyard where Lu Bu was reading.
"Xuan Gao, Wen Xiang, don't make any noise later, so as not to disturb the lord."
Zang Ba and others nodded.
Zhang Liao led Zang Ba and others into the small courtyard and found Lu Bu in the pavilion, who was concentrating on reading.
When Zang Ba, Xu Sheng and others saw this, they were already extremely surprised. At this time, they finally believed what Zhang Liao said, and they could understand why Gao Shun and the others worked so hard.
Seeing Lu Bu who was concentrating on reading and working so diligently to improve himself, as Lu Bu's subordinates, they all felt a little ashamed.
If the master is working so hard, how can they not work hard?
After watching for a while, Zang Ba and others withdrew.
"Wenyuan, I have decided that from now on I, Zang Xuangao, will not only practice martial arts diligently, but also read books to improve myself!"
Xu Sheng on the side also nodded seriously when he heard this.
"Yes, my lord is already the best in the world in martial arts, but now he is reading and studying so hard. How can we have the face to enjoy it?
From now on, I, Xu Wenxiang, must learn from the lord, constantly strengthen myself, and must become stronger, more capable, and better follow the lord! "
Zhang Liao also smiled when he heard this. Aren't they all like this?
Think about it before, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and others, who would improve themselves like this now, even he has slacked off sometimes.
Zhang Liao once again looked in the direction where Lu Bu was reading, his eyes full of determination.
