We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Juancheng's letter came at the right time.

When Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan breathed a sigh of relief and thought they were finally about to retreat, Cao Cao stood up and already had the letter in his hand.

The two men stared at Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao frowned slightly at first, and then relaxed in an instant.

The sadness that originally hung on his face instantly dissipated.

"Okay, what a great person, you are really my Xiao He!"

As Cao Cao laughed, Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren couldn't help but be stunned.

The eldest brother praised Xi Yu so well.

Could it be said that Xiyu can solve the problem of food and grass?

While the two were confused, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but chuckle.

Xi Zhicai reacted when he saw Cao Cao open his mouth to praise his younger brother with joy.

Come to think of it, his brother must have a way to transport food and grass here!

However, now that the grain road is cut off, how Xi Yu will transport grain and grass is something Xi Zhicai can't figure out.

He turned his attention to Cao Cao, who looked over when he saw Xi Zhi, and casually handed over the letter in his hand.

As a result, Xi Zhicai quickly saw the question written by Xun Yu on the letter.

Sure enough, Xun Yu said in the letter that Xi Yu was planning to personally escort the grain and grass there. As long as Cao Cao's army persisted for a few days, the grain and grass would arrive.

"Congratulations, lord!"

After reading the letter, Xi Zhicai congratulated Cao Cao with a smile on his face.

At this time, Cao Ren and the other two also came over and looked at the letter.

After learning that Xi Yu personally delivered the food and grass and promised to arrive in a short time, although the two of them were a little surprised, they couldn't help but feel a little happy.

I thought that I had no choice but to retreat, but I didn't expect that there would be a bright future.

What a surprise.

"Brother, I will go back to supervise the army right now, so that the generals can't suppress those arrogant and powerful generals without me!"

With Xi Yu's assurance, Xia Houyuan, who was determined, said something to Cao Cao and quickly planned to return.

Cao Ren on the side also bowed his hands: "Brother, I'm going back too!"

Cao Cao looked at the two people who had stabilized their minds and couldn't help but sigh, this letter really came in time.

More importantly, Xi Yu has already guaranteed the transportation of grain and grass.

"You two go away. If anyone doesn't follow the military rules, you can be killed!"

Reaching out and patting the two of them, Cao Cao gave a casual instruction and then watched the two of them leave the camp in a hurry.

"Su Wei, summon General Yu to come!"

After receiving the letter from Juancheng and learning that the military rations would be delivered soon, Cao Cao summoned Yu Jin to come.

Not long after, Yu Jin entered the camp.

He had just seen Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren leave Cao Jun's camp with happy faces, and he had already thought that the food and fodder matter might have been solved.

Sure enough, Cao Cao saw him coming and waved to him happily.

"Wenze is here!"

"In a few days, our army's food and grass will arrive. Please inform your generals to appease the morale of the army, and wait until the next day to start a war with Xuzhou!"

…

When Cao Cao received the news from Juancheng, Liu Bei, who was in Tancheng at the moment, felt a little complicated.

Chen Deng's visit made Liu Bei very happy.

The incident in Xuzhou that was mentioned immediately made Liu Bei's heart skip a beat.

Xuzhou is located in the Central Plains and is a battleground for military strategists. Occupying Xuzhou and becoming a state pastor is what many people long for.

Liu Bei naturally had fantasized about having a city under his command.

Chen Deng's proposal lingered in Liu Bei's heart for a long time.

Over the years, apart from serving as a small captain of Anxi County, he was no more than a plain official at the highest level.

Compared to the state herdsman in a state, it is simply incomparable.

If there is a continent, it will be regarded as a glorious ancestor.

However, capturing Xuzhou in this way was not what he wanted.

Liu Bei had something on his face, and as sworn brothers, Guan and Zhang could naturally tell it.

Zhang Fei looks carefree on the surface, but his thoughts are somewhat delicate.

The three brothers gathered in the house. When Guan Yu frowned and didn't know how to ask a question, Zhang Fei took the lead in speaking.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Zhang Fei was straightforward and asked directly.

Hearing his third brother's question, Liu Bei glanced at the two brothers.

"Chen Yuanlong came to visit me some time ago and asked me about my aspirations!"

Regarding his brother, Liu Bei did not hide anything and directly repeated what Chen Deng said at that time.

Hearing this, Guan Yu licked his long beard under his chin and said nothing.

Zhang Fei beside him couldn't help but stare.

"That kid wants to please his eldest brother and take over Xuzhou?"

The three brothers knew that Cao Cao was able to take over Yanzhou because Chen Gong, Bao Xin and others united with the people of Yanzhou to welcome Cao Cao.

Now, Chen Deng intends to welcome Liu Bei to Xuzhou.

This thing sounds almost the same.

As soon as Zhang Fei's mind turned around, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but crack.

"Brother, I didn't expect that Chen Yuanlong is a good person!"

"Brother, there is no problem at all in being a Xuzhou animal husbandry!"

Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly. He always felt that with Liu Bei's ability, there would be no problem at all in becoming a state pastor.

Perhaps, in his opinion, even if his eldest brother became the emperor, he would applaud him.

At this time, Zhang Fei was naturally filled with joy when he heard that someone wanted to cater to his eldest brother as Xuzhou Shepherd.

Although Guan Yu didn't speak, he felt good in his heart.

If Liu Bei could be the pastor of Xuzhou, he would naturally have no objection.

"Eldest brother refused?"

Guan Yu asked, and just by looking at the expression on Liu Bei's face at this moment, he guessed Liu Bei's response.

Sure enough, after the words fell, Liu Bei nodded.

Before Liu Bei could speak, Zhang Fei stared at him.

"Ah, why do you want to refuse, brother?"

"Isn't that how Cao Cao became the Yanzhou Shepherd? If Cao Cao can become the Yanzhou Shepherd, there will naturally be no problem for the eldest brother."

"I think it's good for my eldest brother to do this Xuzhou animal husbandry!"

Zhang Fei was a little confused. He felt that Cao Cao could be the shepherd of Yanzhou, but now Liu Bei can be the shepherd of Xuzhou.

There is no difference between the two.

He doesn't think Cao Cao is much better than his elder brother Liu Bei.

Liu Bei smiled on his face and glanced at Zhang Fei helplessly.

These two things may seem to be essentially the same, but the difference between them is huge.

Cao Cao was able to take control of Yanzhou because Liu Dai, the original governor of Yanzhou, was killed by the Yellow Turbans. At that time, Yanzhou became an unclaimed land.

The relationship between Cao Cao and Cao Cao is not bad. It is normal for someone to work for Cao Cao.

But now, Xuzhou is not a deserted land.

At present, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian is not dead, Chen Deng is just a suggestion. If he agrees, wouldn't he become a villain who steals people's inheritance?

Furthermore, at that time, the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou were in rebellion, and Yanzhou had no owner. Cao Cao was mainly favored by everyone in Yanzhou.

Now, although Xuzhou has foreign enemies, it is not ownerless. He was only nominally invited to help.

By helping others to seize their inheritance, how will the world view Liu Bei?

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense!"

Liu Bei lightly scolded Zhang Fei, and then said righteously: "Tao Shijun is the governor of Xuzhou, how can my brother want to seize someone else's inheritance?"

"Don't dare to say this nonsense again!"

After giving Zhang Fei a warning, Liu Bei's thoughts were finally fulfilled.

Just as he thought, the current Xuzhou Mu is Tao Qian. They were just invited to help. It is absolutely impossible to take away people's inheritance.

Liu Bei had his own bottom line. Although he wanted to create a career, he did not want to use such means to gain territory.

Guan Yu nodded.

Sure enough, he was the elder brother he knew. Such villainous behavior to seize people's inheritance was not the behavior of a gentleman. How could Liu Bei do it!

…

Yanzhou, Juancheng.

After learning that Cao Jun's food road was blocked, Xi Yu immediately took out the blueprint of the wheelbarrow.

Yanzhou craftsmen immediately started making the wheelbarrow non-stop.

When the first unicycle appeared in front of Xun Yu, Xun Yu looked at Xi Yu with a strange look.

"Fengyi, I, I really don't know how to praise you!"

Just looking at the appearance of the wheelbarrow, Xun Yu knew that Cao Jun had no worries about food and grass.

With such a vehicle for transporting grain and grass, it can be transported on mountain roads, and Cao Jun's grain and grass will be no longer a problem after only a few days of delay.

Xun Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Cao Cao was really lucky.

He was also a little lucky that he had introduced the actor brothers to Cao Cao early.

If someone like Xi Yu appeared in the enemy camp, his head would probably be huge!

"Brother, as long as there is nothing else, I will go back first!"

After solving the problem of grain and grass transportation, I think there will be no big problems with Cao Jun.

At the end of the year, with Boss Cao’s abilities, most of Xuzhou might not be a problem.

"Wait a minute, please!"

Xun Yu couldn't help but frown when he heard that Xi Yu was planning to give up and leave.

"Who do you think should be in charge of transporting grain and grass this time?"

Xun Yu looked at Xi Yu indifferently. The latter was slightly stunned, and instinctively replied: "Who is the former grain inspector? Just let him continue to serve!"

Hear this?

Xun Yu looked up at Xi Yu strangely and opened his mouth helplessly.

Due to problems with grain and grass, the former grain inspector was unfortunately beheaded by Cao Cao.

He delayed the supply and failed to report the problem of the supply channel immediately. Now his body is missing.

"To be honest, Fengyi, the former grain inspector Qianfan was beheaded by the Lord in public in the army!"

? ? ?

Beheaded?

Xi Yu was a little stunned!

Good guy, boss Cao's trick of killing the grain officer has been so slippery from now on?

Xi Yu was naturally aware of the matter of beheading the grain officer.

Because of the problem of insufficient food and grass, this move can greatly improve the morale of the soldiers.

"In that case, what does brother mean by this?"

Xi Yu was a little confused. Even if the grain inspector was beheaded, Xun Yu could just arrange a new one by himself. What did he mean by calling him to stop?

He looked at Xun Yu's eyes staring at him and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Doesn't the other party want him to transport food?

"This time, I want Fengyi to transport food!"

Xun Yu didn't hesitate and directly stated his purpose. As soon as he said this, Xi Yu couldn't help but frown.

Sure enough, I plan to let myself go!

Xun Yu, who is so miserable, might be envious of the fact that his life is too comfortable!

He's just newly married, and this guy wants him to go to the front line?

He is not a dramatist. As a soldier, he must always follow Cao Cao to make suggestions.

For this kind of food transporting matter, just arrange for someone to do his duty faithfully. Why do you need to transport the food yourself?

At the moment, he was worried about Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others.

It has been more than a month since Cao Cao led the army on the expedition, and there is still no movement from Zhang Miao and Chen Gong!

However, I think it won't take long for the news over there.

After waiting for a long time, Cao Cao could annex Xuzhou in one go.

Naturally, Chen Gong cannot sit idly by and ignore such a thing.

If he wanted to take advantage of the situation to seize Yanzhou, he would inevitably launch an attack when the war between Cao Cao's army and Xuzhou was at a stalemate.

In this way, Cao Cao cannot take care of the beginning and the end. If Yanzhou falls, the war in Xuzhou will inevitably be affected.

Once something like this happens, the blow to Cao Jun will be extremely severe.

However, Xi Yu was a little unsure as to when Chen Gong and others would take action.

Moreover, this matter cannot be spoken out yet.

In any case, today Zhang Miao and Cao Cao are still close friends on the surface, and Chen Gong is one of the heroes who helped Cao Cao take control of Yanzhou.

If he claimed that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were having trouble, even Cao Cao would not believe it.

You can only sit back and wait for the other party to take action.

"Let me think about this!"

After thinking for a while, Xi Yu did not refuse directly.

Xun Yu in front of him nodded, and then explained: "This time is not to transport grain for Yiyi, but because the emperor's policy is still being implemented in the counties of Xuzhou!"

"My lord intentionally mentioned this in his previous letter!"

Xun Yu smiled at Xi Yu and looked at him lightly.

Xi Yu suddenly understood!

This is to tell him that Boss Cao has listened to your advice before, and now the captured towns in Xuzhou are implementing the policies you mentioned.

You proposed it, so you are responsible for it!

"In that case, I'll go back and pack up. Brother, let the grain transport team set off along the mountain road first. I'll catch up early tomorrow morning."

After saying something to Xun Yu, Xi Yu finally agreed.

After the decision was made, Xi Yu immediately returned to his home.

Since Xi Zhicai went to war with Cao Cao, except for two or three old servants, only Gan Mei was in charge of the house.

When Xi Yu just came back, he happened to see Gan Mei sitting alone in the pavilion, carefully doing something with her hands.

"Ma'am, what are you doing?"

As soon as he came closer, Gan Mei, who heard the movement, raised her head and smiled at Xi Yu.

"The weather is getting cold, and I want to make a big cloak for A Lang!"

Gan Mei was holding the scissors in her hand, and she was still gesturing with her hand just now. After hearing Xi Yu's question, she explained casually.

Xi Yu looked at the things on the table and had long thought that Gan Mei was making clothes for himself.

Now that I heard the other party admit it in person, I couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in my heart.

"Look, your hands are so cold and red!"

Sitting on the edge, Xi Yu casually held Ganmei's hands in front of her chest. Looking at her hands that were slightly red from the cold, Xi Yu felt a little unbearable.

"Whatever cloak you want, just ask the butler to buy one from outside! Why bother making it yourself!"

Although he said this, the joy at the corner of Xi Yu's mouth could not be concealed at all.

Ganmei naturally understood what the other party meant. She twitched her eyebrows slightly and said softly with a smile: "I want Alang to wear the cloak I made!"

"Alang, put it on and try it, I'm almost ready!"

While speaking, Gan Mei took her hand out of Xi Yu's, and the warmth left in her hand made her eyebrows seem to melt away.

Before Xi Yu could react, Gan Mei picked up the roughly made cloak on the table and took the initiative to put it on for Xi Yu.

Those two delicate palms rested on Xi Yu's shoulders, gesturing to themselves.

The latter is allowed to be used by the other party.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the hospital.

"Sir, sir!"

Before the figure appeared, Dian Wei's slightly rough voice came from outside.

When Xiyu raised his head, Dianwei had already entered the courtyard.

As if he saw Xi Yu at a glance, Dian Wei smiled carelessly.

"Sir, I heard that Mr. Xun Yu asked you to leave for Xuzhou tomorrow morning. I..."

As soon as he said these words, the corners of Xi Yu's mouth twitched.

Before he had time to tell Gan Mei about it, who knew that Dian Wei had heard the news from somewhere, so he immediately said it.

Xi Yu turned his head and glanced at Gan Mei.

There was no strange expression on the latter's face: "Alang is going to Xuzhou?"

Ganmei naturally knew about Cao Jun's conquest of Xuzhou, but this kind of thing was not something that a woman like her needed to consider.

Although she was originally from Xuzhou, she married a chicken and a dog, not to mention that Cao Cao helped bring her family to Yanzhou early.

Today, the life of the Gan family is no longer what it used to be.

Knowing that Xi Yu was leaving for Xuzhou tomorrow, Gan Mei couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Her cloak hadn't been finished yet!

Quickly taking off the cloak draped around Xi Yu's body, Gan Mei grinned.

"Alang, are you leaving tomorrow morning? I will make the cloak soon!"

With that said, Ganmei began to busy herself with the needlework in her hands.

Xi Yu felt relieved when he saw that Gan Mei had no objection to his going to Xuzhou.

At this moment, he turned to look at Dian Wei.

With this guy looking so impatient, he naturally understood what the other person meant.

Ever since Dian Wei became his bodyguard, Dian Wei's fate has been different from his previous trajectory.

Although Boss Cao asked him for dianwei several times, Xi Yu refused righteously.

Dian Wei, on the other hand, had no objection at all to following Xi Yu.

However, this guy is still extremely passionate about things like fighting.

When he learned that Xi Yu was going to the front line, he couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart.

"Why are you in a hurry? Pack up and set off with me tomorrow morning!"

Seeing Dian Wei's excitement, Xi Yu wanted to tell him that he was just here to transport food!

It's not like he was going to the battlefield. Even if Dian Wei followed him, he wouldn't have a chance to go into battle.

This guy is excited for nothing.

Of course, he was too lazy to explain this kind of thing to Dian Wei. When he arrived in Xuzhou, Dian Wei would understand it himself!
