Three Kingdoms: Five-year-old Chibi offering poison, shocking Cao Cao

“Incomparably delicious, incomparably delicious!”

As soon as Cao Cao finished eating a mouthful of potatoes, he sincerely appreciated it.

For the past few days, Cao Cao has been eating dry food and instant noodles in the army.

And, it’s still the kind that doesn’t cook.

Most of the time, the instant noodles are just water.

Although Cao Rui gave the recipe for making instant noodles.

But the pasta only has the taste of noodles.

Other than that, no other additives were added.

Can't add.

Therefore, dry chewing instant noodles is indeed a bit dry when there is no material.

Although it can fill the stomach, it can also greatly compress the space and human and material resources occupied by the baggage.

But the taste is normal.

After all, the method of making cumin and salt has not yet been popularized, and Cao Pi has been still in the experimental stage.

Therefore, when eating potatoes, Cao Cao's reaction was so fierce.

"Zhongde, Gongda, Zixiao, you all come and have a taste!"

Cao Cao was not stingy, he put all the potatoes on the table, and signaled everyone to come and share the food.

This time Cao Pi probably sent two hundred potatoes.

Obviously not used as military rations, but simply to give Cao Cao a taste.

If it was used for military rations, the people would have nothing to eat.

"What is this? How is it so sweet and delicious?"

Cheng Yu bit off half a potato in one bite, and immediately widened his eyes, asking incredulously.

"The letter sent by Zihuan said that this thing was a potato.

"However, there are not many crops, and it cannot be used as military ration for the time being.

"But the output of this thing is amazing, reaching..."

While eating, Cao Cao read the letter sent by Cao Pi.

However, it came to an abrupt end here.

"Prime Minister, how much is the output of this thing?"

The interest of everyone was immediately hooked, and they asked curiously.

"Average... an average of forty-four stone yields!

Cao Cao almost suspected that he had read it wrong, and rubbed his eyes twice before slowly opening his mouth.

Hearing this, everyone could not help but take a deep breath.

"This thing is such a delicacy, could it be the yield of a hundred mu?"

Cheng Yu couldn't help muttering.

If the yield is 100 mu, this yield is too small.

How could something like this be used as military rations?

It is enough to eat occasionally, the real rations must be corn and wheat flour.

In fact, it is no wonder that Cheng Yu thought so.

After all, if stone is used to describe the output, in most cases, it is used as the output of 100 mu.

However, Cao Cao shook his head and said:

"It's an acre yield!"

"Yield per mu, forty-four stone!"9

This time, everyone couldn't hold back.

Cheng Yu was so frightened that he almost threw half of the potato in his hand on the ground.

"Isn't the Prime Minister joking?

"How can there be such a high-yielding crop in the world?"

"The yield of corn per mu is only three stones!"

Cheng Yu was dumbfounded and said with a puzzled face.

Cao Cao laughed and said:

"Hahaha, what did I lie to you for?"

"With this output, if it is planted on a large scale, our army's rations will be endless!"

The military ration is now a major emergency, no matter whether it is Cao Cao or the other princes, they are extremely short of food.

Especially in recent years, the continuous natural disasters have made food in various places stretched.

The appearance of potatoes in the sky will undoubtedly directly bring the building to its knees!

"It turns out that this thing was discovered by Rui Er.""

"Hahaha, my good Rui'er can give me a different surprise every time!

When Cao Cao saw Cao Rui's name, he couldn't stop laughing.

"It turned out to be given by the young master, no wonder it is such a fetish. 99

Everyone sighed.

But most people still can't believe such an exaggerated output.

Even if Cao Rui took out too many fetishes that shocked them.

But this kind of thing is simply a fool's dream!

Perhaps it was Cao Pi's intention to boost morale, and he just said so.

Otherwise, with such an amazing yield, even if only one mu is planted, a lot of potatoes would have to be harvested.

How could they just send more than 200 to the barracks?

Cao Cao seemed to see everyone's doubts and coughed softly:

"This time the potatoes were ripe, Zihuan did not send them all to the army."5

"It's distributed to Jiangxia and other people in Jingzhou!

"Zihuan has really grown up this time! 99

"I actually know how to conquer the hearts of the people!""

"It seems that he was really influenced by Rui'er!

Hearing this, everyone didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

They all heard that Laozi nurtured the boy.

Where have I heard that the kid was educating Laozi?

"How much ration is left in the army?

Cao Cao put away his smile and asked in a deep voice.

Cheng Yu hurriedly said:

"Report to the Prime Minister."

"There is very little ration left in the army now.

"I'm afraid, it can only last for a month at most."

"If it's normal, it's about ten days...

Hearing this luxury, Cao Cao could not help but frown slightly.

a month at most...

After new potatoes are planted, there should be at least a three-month gap.

That is to say, the army under oneself must persist for at least three months.

However, they fought fiercely in Jiangdong for so long.

In addition, the northern army was in desperate need of rations.

During this period of time, most of the food and grass that had been confiscated from the Cai family had been used up.

Although there are still a lot of grain hoarding in Jingzhou.

But now it is obviously difficult to send it to the front line of Jiangdong.

Before Cao Rui sent potatoes, there were only a dozen soldiers guarding them.

The trail was not discovered by Jiang Dongjun.

If it is a large-scale baggage unit, it will definitely become their target.

Now that he has penetrated into the hinterland of Jiangdong, Liu Bei does not dare to confront him head-on.

He kept stabbing in the back.

And these are not the most difficult, the most difficult is that it is difficult to conquer Wudu in a short time.

If you can't beat Wudu, everything is empty talk.

"Prime Minister, our army might as well stop fighting for now. 35

"It will not be too late to launch a general offensive when the rations are sufficient when this potato fetish is mature."

At this moment, Xun You persuaded in a deep voice.

Conquering the capital of Wu did not happen overnight.

Now that the three counties of Jiangdong have been won, the benefits are far greater than expected.

Both sides of Liu Bei and Sun Quan have already decided to fight against each other.

At this time, if you forcibly attack, I am afraid it will only backfire.

"Second officer.

At this moment, Cheng Yu opened his mouth and said:

"Although there are young sons guarding the north at the moment.

"But if the prime minister doesn't return to the north for a long time, I'm afraid that the young master and Xun Lingjun alone may not be able to suppress him.

"Now you might as well retreat to the three counties for a while, keep an eye on Liu Bei, and recharge your batteries."

"The prime minister can also take this opportunity to return to Xudu to have a look.

This time, Cheng Yu and Xun You's opinions were unexpectedly consistent.

Although Cheng Yu is a radical, this time he is very clear that if he is blindly radical, he will most likely be attacked.

Once there is chaos in the north, the war in the south will also be unstable.

Previously, Cao Rui advised to continue to attack Chibi, because he wanted to pursue the victory in one go.

Now I can't think that this Jiangdong is so difficult to fight.

Even after procrastinating for so long, the capital of Wu could not be conquered.

"What you two said is very true.""

Cao Cao also stood with his hands behind his back, and said solemnly:

"If that's the case, I'll retire for the time being.

"And, don't guard the three counties anymore."

"Just hold on to one county."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Cao Ren was puzzled and said:

"Prime Minister, you can't do this!"

"These three county towns were all hard-earned by our army.

"If you suddenly abandon the city at this time, wouldn't it make the soldiers feel chills?"

Even Cheng Yu and Xun You were puzzled.

Although they advised to avoid the edge for a while, they did not expect Cao Cao to act so decisively!

These two county towns, especially Chaisang who had just been beaten down with great difficulty.

Wouldn't it be a pity if it was just lost?

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly:

.I have made up my mind.

"These two cities are useless to me. 35

"If you can't completely conquer Jiangdong, what can you do with them?

'All the people in the city are disobedient to our army, and there are frequent assassinations, and they all want to get rid of me soon. "

"There is no food to speak of, and no manpower to speak of.

"Taste is tasteless!"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, all Wen Wu was speechless for a while.

Although I don't want to admit it, this is the bloody truth.

Unable to quickly capture the capital of Wu, these two county towns became a burden.

If only one county town was left, it would be better to completely remove Liu Bei's idea of ​​cutting his way.

It can also transport food and grass.

With Jiang Xia at an angle, Jiang Dong was forced to breathe.

"As expected of the Prime Minister, he actually has such a strategy of retreating as advance."

"It's just that I waited hastily. 99

Cheng Yu couldn't help muttering in his heart.

But he was a little puzzled.

Since Cao Cao's southern expedition, he has always been eager to attack and kill.

Why did I suddenly change my personality today.

However, he did not know that Cao Cao himself did not intend to withdraw his troops.

Not to mention returning the two county towns to Jiangdong.

After all, these are all in exchange for the lives of soldiers.

But just yesterday, Cao Cao received a secret letter from the scout.

The person who wrote this secret letter was none other than Cao Rui who was far away in Xudu.

Cao Rui had expected that it would be difficult for the current Cao army to conquer the capital of Wu in a short period of time.

This is the way to retreat.

At first, Cao Cao was a little dissatisfied.

But on second thought, this might be a good idea.

If you insist on defending these three counties, you will become a burden to yourself.

Especially in Chaisang, the people would launch riots from time to time.

Why is it difficult to capture the capital of Wu?

This is a big problem.

The common people and Jiangdong soldiers cooperated with each other, causing riots in the rear.

If this situation continues, even if there is enough food and grass, the 200,000 army will be rubbed to death by Jiangdong like this.

There is something to give.

However, what really moved Cao Cao's heart was what Cao Rui said at the end.

three months.

After three months, not only potatoes, but also other things to give to myself.

Seeing this line of characters, Cao Cao couldn't help but look forward to it.

So far, everything Cao Rui has brought out can be called fetishes.

To stick to it for three months is not only enough food and grass, but also the mysterious things that Cao Rui said.

If it was used on water at first, it would be so powerful that it could blow up the Jiangdong warship into pieces.

If it can be used on land.

Then this battle will definitely be won!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao involuntarily looked in the direction of Xudu.

Rui Er, Rui Er.

Don't let the eldest father down! Long.
