The Three Kingdoms: The filial son of the Cao family, please ask the father to ascend the throne

Chapter 11 Cao Cao is short of food

When Cao Cao learned that Cao Ziyou brought a dozen people into the Yellow Turban Army, he lost his temper completely.

There is no way, now that the son has more soldiers and horses than the father, how can this be provoked?
After the distribution of grain and grass, Yanzhou's grain reserves have almost bottomed out.

Now it was Cao Cao's turn to have a headache.

"Wen Ruo, is there any way you can give Yanzhou more food and grass?"

Xun Yu raised his head from the official documents on the table, and said helplessly:

"My lord, I am a human being, not a fairy. If I could wave my hand and produce a large amount of food and grass, I would have helped the Han family and made me prosperous."

"What about Zhicai, do you have any good ideas?"

Xi Zhicai stood up, straightened his collar, and looked at Xun Yu instead of answering Cao Cao.

"Wen Ruo, I have a good friend named Guo Jia who is currently working under Yuan Shao's account. Why don't you join hands with him?"

Xun Yu is also a second person, and he nodded in agreement:

"That's right, although Yuan Benchu ​​is short-sighted, it's hard to become a master. But at least we won't let the two of us conjure food out of thin air. Just wait for me, and I'll pack my bags right away."

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai sang together, blocking Cao Cao's words.

Cao Cao also knew that there is no god in this world who can conjure all kinds of food with a wave of his hand.

But now the food and grass crisis has become the top priority in Yanzhou, so he couldn't help being impatient.

After all, Xun Yu is an honest man. Seeing Cao Cao's anxious look, he reminded him aloud:

"My lord, the second son has always had a strategy, and this time we can see how he subdued the Yellow Turban Army. If the lord wants to, you can ask the second son."

"Ask Ziyou? Just him? What can he do?"

During this period of time, in order to obtain Ziyou's army, Lao Cao was not less angry with Cao Ziyou.

Hearing that Xun Yu wanted to find him again, he quit immediately.

Xi Zhicai didn't know about Quyuanli, and agreed with Cao Cao.

"Mr. Ziyou is courageous and insightful. I agree with this. If you can train the master more in the future, you will be able to support the banner of the Cao family.

But how old is he now, what good solution can he have?As a matter of urgency, the lord should write a letter to borrow food from the neighboring princes to tide over the current difficulties.

Now that my population in Yanzhou is sufficient, and I have a fetish like Quyuanli, in time, the warehouse will be filled with grain and grass! "

Xun Yu smiled without saying a word, and did not refute.

After Cao Cao thought about it again, he wrote a letter to Yuan Shao and sent it over.

As for Cao Ziyou to solve the food problem, that's impossible!
Back in the mansion, Cao Cao came face to face with a group of blacksmiths.

After the blacksmiths left, Cao Cao's eyes seemed to light up.

A Qu Yuanli had already brought him so many surprises, could it be that Ziyou has researched something good?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao excitedly ran to Cao Ziyou's courtyard.

In the courtyard, Cao Ziyou and Guan Hai got together. After seeing Cao Cao approaching, Ziyou asked Guan Hai to leave first.

"Yo, isn't this Lao Cao, what's the matter?"

As soon as I opened my mouth, it was a familiar taste.

Cao Cao had already seen the strangeness, and asked directly:

"Ziyou, I saw a lot of craftsmen went out just now, what have you come up with?"

Cao Ziyou said with a smile:
"Old Cao, you stole my Quyuanli last time, and you want to steal my things again this time? No way!"

"Look at what you said, I'm your father. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours!"

"Really?"

Cao Cao nodded and said firmly:
"real!"

"Then why do you have a wife and I don't?"

"I……"

"Ding, Cao Cao's aggrieved +1, filial son's value +1."

Cao Cao suppressed his anger, and explained to Cao Ziyou in a low voice:

"Ziyou, it's not that father doesn't want you to marry a wife. I can't wait to have a grandson. But getting a wife is not an easy task.

Your father and I are now Yanzhou Mu, and when I go up in a few years, maybe the power will be even greater.At that time, don't you just marry whoever you want?
What's more, you are still young, marrying a wife prematurely is not good for your health.So be it, I promise you.Two years, after two years, you can marry whoever you want! "

"Okay, then it's settled. But my daughter-in-law, I have to find Ang myself."

"it is good!"

Cao Cao nodded in agreement, completely unaware of how courageous Cao Ziyou would become with his permission.

When Cao Cao was still bowing his head to Yuan Shao, wanting to borrow food, Cao Ziyou had already set his sights on Zhen Mi.

After agreeing to marry a wife, Cao Cao asked about Cao Ziyou's masterpiece expectantly.

Cao Ziyou was in a good mood, and he didn't embarrass Cao Cao any more. He showed his design drawing openly, and gave a brief introduction by the way.

"I went out not long ago and asked someone to go north to buy war horses. Then I selected 30 people from the 3000 army and planned to form a cavalry battalion. These are stirrups, which are placed on war horses to improve the combat effectiveness of cavalry. .”

Cao Cao glanced at the design drawing, but did not show much interest.

After all, there is no real thing at present, and he doesn't know how the stirrup will improve the combat effectiveness.

However, Cao Cao was more interested in Cao Ziyou's going north to buy horses.

"Ziyou, didn't you subdue the Yellow Turban Army before? When did you ask someone to go north to buy horses?"

"Tch, subduing the Yellow Turban Army was something I did on the way back to Yanzhou. I went out before to buy horses and set up a cavalry battalion! I wanted to go to Uncle Cao Hong's army to pick people, but I didn't expect to have an army of 30. , you can train slowly."

The corner of Cao Cao's mouth twitched.

"How much money do you have in your hand to buy war horses? Besides, this place is far away from the Northland. If there is no guard like Dian Wei on the road, your war horses will be divided among the princes along the way. You, you, I think you will lose everything this time!"

"Old Cao, do you dare to make a bet? If my horse can come here safe and sound, you will bear the cost of buying the horse!"

"No, where did you get the money to buy the horse?"

Cao Ziyou spread his hands and said leisurely:
"Of course I wrote a letter to my grandfather to borrow it."

"I……"

Cao Cao took a deep breath, but this time there was no notification sound. It seems that Cao Cao's resistance has increased.

In this case.

"In the letter, I also told my grandfather, Lao Cao, you abused me every day and took my credit. I don't think it will be long before my grandfather's letter will be placed on your desk, hahahaha!"

"Ding, Cao Cao's anger +1, filial son's value +1, triggers a critical strike, rewards [-] stones of food and grass."

The system prompt sounded, and Cao Ziyou felt comfortable, and his mood suddenly cleared up.

However, it was the first time to reward so much food.

Cao Cao blew his beard and stared, and decided to punish Cao Ziyou well, so that he could understand the difficulties of being a father.
