Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 80 He Must Contribute Voluntarily
With the reluctance of Guan Yu and others, the gate of Xuzhou opened wide!

After Cao Cao ordered to enter the city, he did not order to capture various fortresses and strongholds, but sent all the soldiers to knock on the door from house to house, asking them to come and collect food.

When the people of Xuzhou City heard that Cao Cao, the prefect of Yanzhou, came to deliver food to them, it was spread in the streets and alleys.
Guan Yu and the others frowned upon seeing this.

Where did they get the food to distribute to so many people in Xuzhou City?Are you not afraid of causing unrest among the people in the city by boasting about Haikou like this?
Originally wanted to go to Liu Bei to ask, but when they saw that the people who had been starving for a long time got those hot black 'stones' and ate them fragrantly, they were dumbfounded.

Is this 'stone' really edible?They didn't take this thing as food at all. Is this the food that Cao Bing wants to distribute?
Guan Yu and the others did not believe in evil, so they also went to get a sweet potato and tried to eat it. Suddenly, all of them were shocked!
It doesn't look like it's dark and autumn. It's like a stone. It has such a soft, glutinous and sweet taste when it is baked, which completely refreshed their cognition!
It turns out that there is such food in this world!

Guan Yu couldn't help but ask Liu Bei, and when they learned that this thing could produce [-] stone per mu, they stiffened in place!

Thirty stones per mu!Only three months to harvest!

Even the bumper harvest during the Han Dynasty was three or four times the difference!

Not to mention that there are famines everywhere now, if you don't starve to death, it is already a meal for the gods.

For the common people, this is food that can fill their stomachs.

But in front of the generals who lead their troops to fight, this is a sharp blade that can strengthen their power!

In troubled times!What was the war about?
Grain rates!

Food first!Pay later!
Pay is also used to buy food!
With food, are you afraid that there will be no soldiers?
In today's world, food has long been not just a food, but a strategic resource.

If you can grasp this kind of high-yield food firmly in your hands, it is no exaggeration to say that it is comparable to a million elite soldiers. Within a few years, the entire world pattern will be changed by this little sweet potato.

However, what shocked them the most was that they heard that this sweet potato...was discovered by Cao Su and had been hoarded long ago!
That is to say, now in the entire Central Plains and even the world, only Cao Cao has such food in his hands!

what does that mean?It means that the speed of Cao Cao's development in the future will increase exponentially, and he, Cao Su, can also feed the people all over the world with one person!
After thinking about this, Liu Bei admired Cao Su even more in his heart!
Even Guan Yu, who has always been arrogant, was shocked this time.

"This fellow Cao Su seems to have some ability, but it's not that he has accomplished nothing!"

Liu Bei looked at him and smiled lightly:
"What? Didn't you always look down on him? Changed your mind?"

Guan Yu's mind was pierced, his face looked a little embarrassed, and he snorted coldly with his long beard:
"Hmph, it's just a little bit of food to sell in Seoul!"

Knowing his temperament, Liu Bei smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"Every time this person meets, he can surprise Weixiong. It can be seen that his talent is definitely not something you and I can speculate!"

"Isn't the eldest brother worried that he will become Cao Cao's sharpest sword?"

Guan Yu's eyes were sharp, and he looked at Cao Su who was squatting in the corner eating sweet potatoes not far away, with a flash of murderous intent!
"Although this person doesn't seem to have any ambitions at the moment, but... eldest brother, you must know that he is Cao Cao's younger brother. If there is no such food, Xuzhou city... may be bloody!"

Liu Bei naturally understood his intention and scolded coldly:

"Second brother! Stop talking nonsense!"

"Big brother! Cao Cao's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger now, and there are people like Cao Su by his side to help him. I'm very worried that he will..." Guan Yu was a little anxious.

Liu Bei interrupted:
"Cao Cao is Cao Cao! Cao Su is Cao Su! Second brother, I understand your worries for my brother, but there are some things that should not be confused!"

Hearing this, Guan Yu wanted to continue to say something, but was interrupted again by Liu Bei:

"I just want to ask you, if there is no Cao Su, who would give out 20 shi of grain to relieve the famine in Xuzhou City? Yuan Shao? Yuan Shu? Or the person involved... Cao Cao?"

Guan Yu's pupils opened sharply, but he was hesitant to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

Liu Bei patted his shoulder and said:
"If Cao Suzhen and Cao Cao are the same raccoon dog, so much food is not enough for them to capture Xuzhou City? So I have reason to believe that Cao Su must have voluntarily donated the food to Cao Cao, and he was the one who took the initiative to advise Cao Cao. Let him come to the rescue!"

"He has a great benevolence in his heart!"

Guan Yu's face was a little ashamed after hearing this, and he cupped his hands and said:

"Big brother, it's the younger brother who is wrong!"

Liu Bei smiled:

"It's okay, don't say it's you, even I thought it was absurd just now, until they gave me sweet potatoes..."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Cao Su, who was lining up not far away and shouting at the townspeople. He was sweating profusely on such a cold day. His eyes were full of relief...

On the other hand, Cao Su has become a dog!

"Don't worry everyone! Everyone has it! Don't rob, don't rob!"

【woohoo!Volunteering is exhausting! 】

【No salary yet! 】

[Boss Cao and Uncle Liu Huangshu are still looking at the show, and Erye Guan is also watching. Gan, why are those two smart people paddling there! 】

【Why do I take this matter down?wipe! 】

Not far away, Cao Cao listened to Cao Su's frantic complaints, and the smile in his eyes became clearer.

In fact, he didn't want to take so much grain to supply Xuzhou City before, but if he didn't, he was afraid that the Yin-Yang people would play tricks on sweet potato cultivation.

After a full meal, he could still distinguish clearly.

What's more, only Cao Su knows the technique of cultivating sweet potatoes now.

The entire disaster relief process lasted for half a month. The people were full, and Xuzhou City finally restored its original order. With strength, many young and strong men began to work.

Because they knew that as long as Cao's army did not withdraw for a day, they would be able to collect a meal of food every day.

Cao Su was really tired these days. He hardly slept, and he was helping with disaster relief, but it was really hard for him.

On this day, he finally found a gap to rest on the side, and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead!

Just when he was going to start complaining about hard work here, and scolding Boss Cao for exploiting him and not letting him sleep.

Suddenly, a dirty little hand handed him half an unfinished roasted sweet potato...
