Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Looking at Cheng Yu's confident expression, Cao Cao found it a little unbelievable.

Now there is a severe drought in Yanzhou, and the land is barren for thousands of miles. Where can we get any extra food?

If we could really raise food, why would we have to wait until now?

"Zhongde, do you really have a solution?" Cao Cao was skeptical.

"My lord, there is no joking in the army. If you don't believe me, I am willing to issue a military order?"

Cheng Yu's words were firm and decisive, without any hesitation.

"I know that Zhongde is very wise. Since he is so confident, I believe he has a plan in mind."

Cheng Yu was one of his most trusted advisers, so Cao Cao would naturally not allow him to issue a military order.

"I wonder what clever ideas Zhongde has, can you please share them with me?"

"My lord." Cheng Yu's eyes were full of solemnity. After a moment, he slowly said, "What is the brilliant plan? Please let me keep it secret for the time being. My lord, just give me a team of soldiers. In less than two days, I can bring a large amount of military rations."

"Hahaha, great." Cao Cao's eyes were full of praise, "Zhongde, as long as you can raise food and grass, you can mobilize the troops in the camp as you like."

"Thank you, my lord."

After Cheng Yu said this, he went to the military camp to gather the soldiers and prepare to look for food after daybreak.

The night gradually faded away and the sun slowly appeared with the morning light.

Cao Cao looked serene, and his eyes also became calmer.

Dian Wei stood behind him like an iron pillar, silent.

Cao Cao coughed twice and said slowly: "Dian Wei, I heard that you and Lu Bu were evenly matched in the battle. Is this true or false?"

After Cao Cao returned to the tent, he heard the returning soldiers talking about this incident.

The two fought for hundreds of rounds, but neither could win. Chen Gong was worried about the safety of Puyang, so he sounded the horn and asked Lu Bu to retreat back to the city.

There was a hint of embarrassment in Dian Wei's eyes.

"My lord, Lü Bu's martial arts are too strong. I am no match for him. If he hadn't retreated back to the city first, I would have been defeated in less than fifty moves."

Dian Wei's face looked calm, and he did not show any fear due to failure.

"Lü Bu is the best general in the world. The fact that you can fight him for so many moves shows that you are very skilled. It seems that I have underestimated you."

Ever since Dian Wei joined him, Cao Cao liked him very much.

Loyal, brave, practical, and quiet. These characteristics perfectly meet Cao Cao's requirements for a bodyguard.

Although he knew that Dian Wei was a powerful martial artist, he obviously did not expect that he could fight against Lu Bu. If he had known that he had such fighting ability, he would have let him fight Lu Bu long ago.

Looking at Dian Wei's silly expression, Cao Cao liked him more and more. As long as he could make good use of Dian Wei's role, it would definitely be of great help in breaking through Puyang City.

Cao Cao was very clear about his own strength. In terms of the martial arts of his generals, his side was obviously at a disadvantage, but in a battle between soldiers, he had an overwhelming advantage.

If there is one person who can withstand Lu Bu's attack, the probability of capturing Puyang City will greatly increase.

At daybreak, Cheng Yu asked Cao Ren to gather a team of soldiers and follow him to find food.

When Cao Ren heard the word "food", a smile flashed in his eyes.

As a general, he understood too well the impact of food on the war situation.

If Cheng Yu could find a large amount of food, the capture of Puyang City would be just around the corner.

After walking for a while, Cao Ren felt puzzled as he saw the road getting more and more desolate.

"Zhongde, are you sure there is food in here? Could the intelligence be wrong?"

"Don't worry, Zixiao. I have already sent people to investigate. There is a village three miles ahead. The food hidden in the village is enough for us to capture Puyang City."

"Is this true?"

"How can this be false? I dared to issue a military order in the army, so how can this be wrong?"

Seeing how confident he was, Cao Ren felt more confident.

"Send the order. Speed ​​up the march."

The originally scattered sound of horse hooves suddenly became as loud as a violent storm.

After a while, everyone arrived in front of the village.

Cao Ren looked at the slowly rising smoke and a smile appeared on his face.

It is beautiful, so beautiful, with colorful flowers and trees, bridges and flowing water, like a colorful landscape painting.

Everyone stood there for a long time. Cao Ren looked around the village but couldn't find the granary.

Is the news wrong? Or is there another reason?

Cao Ren thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure out the reason.

"Zhongde, we have been looking for a long time, but we can't find the food."

"If I say yes, then yes. Zixiao, just have them follow my orders."

Cao Ren remembered what Cao Cao had told him before he left, and didn't dare say anything more.

"Please give the order, Zhongde. We will obey all orders."

Looking at Cao Ren's attitude, Cheng Yu showed a smile on his face.

"In that case, I won't be polite."

After Cheng Yu said this calmly, the expression on his face suddenly became serious.

"Zixiao, listen to my order. Send the soldiers down to kill all the people in this village, regardless of age. If anyone lets anyone go, he will be executed immediately."

Kill them all, young and old? Cao Ren was stunned. What was going on? Aren't we here to find food? How come it suddenly became a murder?

This place is remote, the road is overgrown with weeds, and it is obvious that few people come here.

If a large amount of food is hidden in a place like this, it is indeed possible. But even if so, there is no need to kill all the men, women, young and old in the village. Wouldn't it be enough to just send people to take the food away?

"Zhongde, this..."

"Do you dare to disobey military orders?" Cheng Yu's words were as cold as the winter wind.

"Cao Ren wouldn't dare."

"In this case, quickly carry out the military order and do not make any mistakes."

"As ordered."

Cao Ren turned around and glanced at his troops behind him.

"Did you hear the military orders just now?"

"General, I heard it clearly."

"In this case, execute it quickly and without any mistakes."

"only!"

The soldiers drew their weapons and ran down quickly from the high hill.

They are all well-trained elite troops and do not need Cao Ren to give any further instructions.

When they arrived at the village, they sent out soldiers to block the entrance and exit of the village.

Then the massacre began, and the sounds of killing and screams soon broke the tranquility of the village.

No one knew how long it had passed before a man who looked like a lieutenant general, covered in blood, appeared in front of the two men.

"General, all the people in the village have been killed, and no one has escaped."

"Have you found the hidden food?" Cao Ren was not very interested in dead people. He had only one thought in his mind, and that was military rations.

"I have searched all over the village, but have not found any large-scale military rations."

When Cao Ren heard this, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

He turned and looked at Cheng Yu.

"Zhongde, where is the military rations? Point it out and I will have them transport all the rations there."
