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

Cao Cao's face was as calm as water, his eyes as cold as frost. He narrowed his eyes slightly and uttered four words lightly: "Your head!"

These four words were like a thunder, exploding in the air.

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Hu’s face turned pale instantly and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

His eyes widened, his face full of horror, his legs went limp, and he suddenly fell to his knees.

"My lord, the use of small measures to distribute grain is actually in compliance with your orders!

I am loyal to my lord and have no other intentions. I am innocent!" Wang Hu shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice full of despair and pleading.

Cao Cao remained calm and responded casually: "Of course I know you are innocent, but the army is short of food and grass, and the morale of the army is unstable. If I don't take your head to calm the army, I am afraid it will arouse greater anger among the soldiers, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Cao Cao paused and emphasized his tone a little: "Chang'an is of vital importance to me. It is related to the overall situation of the world and cannot afford any mistakes. Therefore, I have to inconvenience you."

Then, Cao Cao slowed down his tone and said with a hint of pity: "But you can rest assured. After you die, I will take good care of your wife, children and parents. I promise you that I will be more attentive than when you were alive." After that, Cao Cao waved his hand, signaling the guards on his left and right to come forward and take Wang Hu down.

It was as if a thousand wild horses were running wildly through Wang Hu's heart, and the rage was about to burst through his head.

Is there anyone who is more dedicated than me? You are kidding me! Everyone in the world knows what kind of person you are, Cao Cao!

However, even though his heart was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, he dared not utter a word.

At this moment, fear took over and he could only kowtow and beg for mercy like pounding garlic.

"My lord, please spare my life! I beg you to spare my life! My lord..." Those pleading voices were filled with despair and fear.

However, facing Wang Hu's desperate pleas for mercy, Cao Cao's face was as gloomy as water, and he was not moved at all. He just waved his hand calmly and said with thin lips: "Come here, take Wang Hu away, behead him immediately, and then display his head to the whole army."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers who had been waiting outside the door for a long time rushed into the tent like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. Without saying a word, they grabbed Wang Hu's arm and dragged him out.

"My lord, please spare my life! Please spare my life..." Wang Hu shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing throughout the entire camp.

However, it was too late. All that was heard was a shrill scream from outside the tent, followed by a deathly silence.

Soon, a soldier hurried into the tent holding Wang Hu's bloody head in his hand and reported to Cao Cao.

As Wang Hu's head was passed to all the soldiers, the originally low morale of the army instantly became excited. Everyone was talking to each other.

"It turns out that it was this warehouse official, Wang Hu, who stole the rations and dared to withhold our military rations. He deserves death!"

"Thanks to the lord's wisdom and bravery, and his keen observation, this scourge was found so quickly. It's really gratifying!"

At this time, Cao Cao was smiling and strolling leisurely in the military camp.

Looking at the soldiers who were in high spirits and full of fighting spirit, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

After this incident, the morale of the army was boosted, and they will surely be invincible in future battles.

He gazed from afar at the majestic Chang'an City standing in front of him. His eyes seemed to be attracted by an invisible force and he could not look away for a long time.

The tall and thick city walls stretch out like a sleeping dragon. The flags flying on the city walls flutter in the wind, revealing an aura of majesty and mystery.

An indescribable feeling of longing welled up in his heart as he imagined that one day he would be able to step into this prosperous capital and become its ruler.

At this time, Cao Cao stood in front of the tent with a solemn expression. His eyes as deep as a pool of water swept across the civil and military officials around him.

These people were his trusted generals and wise men who had followed him in his battles for many years. At this moment, they gathered together, waiting for Cao Cao to give orders.

Cao Cao knew very well that this was a time when morale was high. If he could strike while the iron was hot and capture Chang'an City in one fell swoop, then his cause of dominating the world would take an important step forward.

So he took a deep breath and said loudly: "Generals and counselors! Now our army is full of fighting spirit and strong soldiers and horses. It is the best time to attack Chang'an City! We must take this opportunity to capture this strong city in one go!"

Xi Zhicai took a step forward slowly, his eyes firm and wise. After looking around at everyone present, he said, "My lord! After our continuous and fierce attacks on Chang'an City over this period of time, the military forces in Chang'an City have been severely depleted.

In my opinion, if we can send out troops from the four directions of east, west, south and north at the same time and launch an attack on Chang'an City with a thunderous force, then this battle will surely be a great success and establish an immortal achievement for you, my lord!"

After saying this, he bowed slightly, his eyes gleaming with confidence and expectation.

Cao Cao frowned slightly and fell into a brief contemplation. His sharp eyes like a hawk flashed with wisdom, and his mind quickly analyzed the current situation and the strategy proposed by Xi Zhicai.

However, in a moment, Cao Cao had already understood the deeper meaning.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile, as if everything was under control.

It turned out that Xi Zhicai's tactic of attacking from all four directions simultaneously, without distinguishing between the primary and the secondary, was a brilliant plan to break the current deadlock and capture Chang'an directly!

In this way, the enemy will be exhausted and unable to concentrate its forces to resist attacks from any side, thus plunging Chang'an City into a chaotic situation that no one can effectively deal with.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, looked at Zhicai firmly, and said slowly: "Zhicai, your plan is really ingenious! I think there is no better way than this. Then follow your plan, I believe it will be successful this time!"

After saying this, a smile mixed with expectation and trust appeared on Cao Cao's face, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Zhicai bowed and said respectfully: "Thank you for your trust, my lord. I will do my best and live up to my mission!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent was solemn yet full of hope, and everyone was full of confidence in the upcoming action.

Suddenly a soldier ran in and shouted, "My lord, something bad has happened, something terrible has happened..."
