Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 558 Good News

the other side!
Zhou Yu is investigating the situation of various ministries at the foot of the mountain!

After finishing his work, he walked to the foot of the mountain, frowned and looked towards the top of the mountain!

For some reason, he always felt a meaty smell in the air, which made him feel very strange!
How can there be meat smell in this wilderness?
Damn hallucinations?
Zhou Yu couldn't help thinking, but after searching all the way, he didn't find anyone hiding meaty food in the barracks!
Then he dispelled the thought in his mind!

The soldiers and horses he brought are all Jiangdong elites!
It is impossible to make such a low-level mistake, and the logistics are all dry food, there is absolutely no possibility of meat food!

After thinking about it, I can only attribute this situation to my desire to eat meat!
But it is true, since Cao Cao ordered to attack Jiangdong, he has hardly had a full meal!
Now he came over non-stop to intercept Cao Jun. He was exhausted physically and mentally, and it was only human to want to eat meat!

In the past when marching and fighting, Zhou Yu would have such a situation from time to time, as long as he diverted his attention, he would be fine!
but……

Why is it getting more and more fragrant?
Is this hallucination lingering?
Zhou Yu's complexion was not good, and he was very upset by the sudden fragrance, so he could only go back to his military tent and think about his next plan!

After an unknown amount of time, Huang Gai walked in, reporting with an ugly expression:

"Captain, many soldiers have thrown away the food they were given today!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu frowned even tighter, and asked in a cold voice:
"What's going on? Don't they think it's too little? The amount of food distributed to the hands has been carefully calculated, and no one is allowed to disobey the military order!"

Huang Gai shook his head and said:

"No, they smelled a meaty smell and felt that the food in their hands was too unpalatable, so they threw it away!"

Zhou Yu: ...

"You also smell this smell?"

Huang Gai nodded and said:
"That's right, Commander, I don't blame the soldiers for losing their temper. It really smells like this... It's so fragrant. If you don't know it, you might think someone is grilling meat nearby!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yu's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously thought of Cao Su!

Is it him?

But soon he denied this idea!
Cao Su's 2000 troops didn't even bring dry food, so how could they waste their energy hunting?

Even if he did catch a few prey, at most it would be enough for him to satisfy his hunger alone, it is impossible for him to have such a strong smell of meat!

Thinking about this clearly, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, no longer caring about the source of the fragrance, and then asked Huang Gai:
"How many days will it take for my lord to arrive here?"

Huang Gai replied, "It will take three days to arrive!"

Zhou Yu nodded, then hesitated for a moment before saying:

"You can't delay any longer, Old General Huang, take a few people to find out where Cao Su is now, and put pressure on him tomorrow, and try to force him down the mountain within five days, otherwise it will be a real disaster." If he starves to death, the loss outweighs the gain!"

Hearing this, Huang Gai took command and said:

"Of order! But..."

"But what?" Zhou Yu asked puzzled.

Huang Gai hurriedly said:
"It's nothing, the general just thinks that since the governor sincerely wants to subdue Cao Su, it's a good idea to send them some water. It's been two days, and they must be thirsty already. If we send water, it will show our strength." Mind!"

"Being not!"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said:
"Now is the time when their resistance is the most intense. Sending water up will only make it more difficult for us to persuade us to surrender. People will only make changes when they are desperate. I want them not only to suffer from hunger and thirst, but also to make them suffer." They feel the pressure of being attacked by us at any time, so that they can only accept our persuasion to surrender when they have reached their limit!"

"The governor is right!"

Huang Gai thought for a while, and felt that what Zhou Yu said was very reasonable, so he cupped his hands and left the tent...

……

at the same time!

Cao Cao is anxiously waiting for the news in Nanjun, and the people who were dispersed before are gradually coming back, but Cao Cao is still worried every day!
"My lord! Good news! Good news!"

On this day, Xun Yu suddenly broke into the door and said to Cao Cao in surprise.

"What good news? My brother is coming back?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao's face suddenly glowed, and he raised his head and asked excitedly.

However, upon hearing this, the smile on Xun Yu's face froze, and he said:
"My lord, since the second lord brought those [-] soldiers to find Zhou Yu, there has been no news, but if there is no news, it proves to be good news. At least, the second lord has not been captured by Jiangdong yet!"

The excitement on Cao Cao's face faded instantly when he heard this, and he frowned and shook his hands in annoyance, "Other than that, what good news is there?"

But Xun Yu said:
"I just received news from General Cao Ren that he has brought the remaining 78 troops, broke through the enemy's eyeliner, and is rushing back to Nanjun!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao was about to turn around in a dull mood, but suddenly stopped, and murmured to Xun Yu:

"It is indeed... good news..."

Xun Yu:  …

Except for the news about Cao Su, what was agreed is not good news?
Where is your face?

Thinking about it, Xun Yu still smiled and said:

"My lord, since the army has returned, it means that Zhou Yu's plan to flank the army has not succeeded, and the green hills will be left without worrying about no firewood!"

However, as soon as these words came out, Cao Cao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and sighed sadly:
"But if this is the case, it proves that my virtuous brother... is really in danger!"

Xun Yu was taken aback, and his expression turned ugly!
Why doesn't he know how much it will cost these hundreds of thousands of troops to evacuate safely?

Although there are only 2000 people, among those 2000 people, there is one Cao Su!

Is it really worth it to exchange a Cao Su for these more than 70 troops?

This shot is called, the world!world!Can see clearly!

Cao Cao naturally has a heart like a mirror!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt bored in his heart, waved his sleeves angrily and said:
"Damn Jiangdong rats, if they dare to understand even a hair of my virtuous brother, then Xu Chang will not return the truth, open the grain road on the spot, and lead an army of 80 to crush Jiangdong!"

After hearing this, Xun Yu sighed in his heart!
Ruthless words are good, but is it really true?

Millions of troops marched southward, and the national treasury had already been emptied. Even if there was such an extremely productive food as sweet potatoes, it would not be enough for so many people!

Once the food is cut off, it will be beyond redemption!

Xun Yu didn't say these words, but he knew that Cao Cao knew better than anyone else!

fight!It's not about how hard you beat anyone!
Most of the time is spent playing!It's money!It's food!
This time because Cao Cao was attacked and missed Jingzhou, it will take at least a year to recover!
Thinking this way, Xun Yu was just about to say a few words of persuasion, but suddenly a notification came from outside the door!
"Report!! The second lord has a message!"
