The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 81 Boss Cao, This Isn't Making Waves!
The purse clutched in Gan Mei's hand had taken some shape, and Xi Yu didn't say anything when she saw the other party's appearance.

Now that the other party can have his own opinion, he is also happy to see it succeed.

"Why did Ah Lang come back so early today!"

Gan Mei is naturally aware of Xi Yu's daily drills in the barracks.

It's just that it's still early, and Gan Mei was a little surprised that Xi Yu came back so early today.

"The training has been put on hold for the time being. I will find a way to get the soldiers in the barracks to supplement their meat!"

He casually explained to Gan Mei, who was a little surprised.

"meat?"

"Is there not enough food and grass in the barracks?"

"Two days ago, my sister-in-law and the others brought over a dead beef. If Alang needs it..."

"not enough!"

The Cao family would often send him some meat and the like. Either Cao Cao got venison from somewhere, or a cow fell to death one day!
These meat supplies are enough for the players.

But it is not enough to supply the supply battalion and keep them trained!
"I've already made up my mind. I'll take Dian Wei and the others to the mountains tomorrow and bring back a few wild pigs!"

"Wild pig?"

Gan Mei was puzzled, shouldn't the meat be inedible?

But since Xi Yu said that, Gan Mei didn't say much, she seemed to think of something again at this moment, and then looked up at Xi Yu.

"A Lang, sister Zhaoji heard that she has composed a new song, do you want to take the time to listen to it?"

Regarding the previous proposal, Gan Mei still took it to heart.

This time he mentioned it casually, but he deliberately wanted to match up with his husband.

When Xi Yu heard this, he didn't think much about it, but just shook his head.

"I've been very busy recently, I don't have much time, let's talk when I have time!"

Right now, on the one hand, he has to train soldiers, and on the other hand, he has to plan for spring plowing, although he has experience in the previous year.

This year's spring plowing would be smoother, but he still needed to do it.

Moreover, he expected that it would not be long before Cao Cao planned to continue to conquer Xuzhou.

At that time, the supply battalion will also be responsible for transporting grain and grass.

Hearing what Xi Yu said, Gan Mei nodded.

The next morning.

Xi Yu led Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and a dozen soldiers to the mountains.

Simply because wild beasts are very common in the mountains and forests in this era, the three of them ran into wild boars without much effort.

A group of people got lucky and ran into a litter of wild boars.

Dian Wei took the lead and knocked down the adult wild boar with one punch, and soon everyone returned to the barracks with two adult wild boars and a litter of piglets.

After learning that Xi Yu brought Dian Wei and the others back from the mountain to hunt wild boars, the entire Cao camp was obviously a little surprised.

Wild pork, no one would eat it these days.

However, Xi Yu didn't pay attention to this point. After calling in the soldiers who were usually responsible for raising horses, Xi Yu began to discuss with him how to kill pigs.

"Castration?"

The soldier in charge of raising the horses was a little dazed, he didn't understand why Mr. Xi was looking for him.

He is only responsible for feeding the horses on weekdays, and he doesn't know anything about pigs!
What's more, he hasn't even castrated a war horse.

These days, things like war horses are scarce, and whoever dares to castrate a war horse will be beheaded.

"Sir, I really don't know how to do it. I'm only responsible for raising horses on weekdays!"

……

"What did you say, Feng Yi was in the barracks, discussing with others how to castrate wild pigs?"

Cao Cao soon heard about Xi Yu finding someone in the camp to castrate wild pigs.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao quickly led someone to find Xi Yu.

"Fengyi, what is there to castrate this wild pig?"

When Cao Cao led Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai to meet Xi Yu, the other party was leading Dian Wei to look up and down around a wild pig.

The howling of the wild pig was endless.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao's whole heart trembled.

"Brother is here!"

Hearing Cao Cao ask why the wild boar was castrated, Xi Yu casually began to carefully describe the various benefits of castrating the wild boar.

If Xi Yu remembers correctly this pig, it happened to be researched by someone at the end of the Han Dynasty.

He heard that it seemed to be Hua Tuo, but he couldn't find where the Hua Tuo people were right now.

But this does not prevent him from knowing the benefits of being a pig!

In fact, in this day and age, some common people had pigs in their homes, after Xi Yu took Dian Wei and others to get this wild pig back.

Then he heard soldiers in the camp talk about people raising pigs.

However, the practice of slaying pigs has not yet become popular.

Those common people raise pigs only to prevent them from starving to death in times of calamity.

But the current pig is very different from the owner of the future generation. Not to mention its thin body, the emphasis is on a bit of ferocity.

"Is there so much more to pay attention to?"

After hearing Xi Yu talk about the benefits of being a pig, Cao Cao didn't have the slightest doubt. After thinking about it, he took the initiative to hug the sleeve king.

"What's the problem with being a pig, I'll help you!"

As he spoke, Cao Cao tied his robe around his waist, took a small knife from a soldier nearby, and walked straight towards the wild boar.

"Dian Wei, help me hold him down!"

Shouting to Dian Wei, Cao Cao was already sharpening his sword.

This process happened too quickly, Cao Cao wanted to take the initiative to start, and before Xi Yu could speak, he saw that the other party had asked Dian Wei to press the wild boar to the ground.

The two big men pouted at the moment, one pressed the wild boar's body with all his strength, and the other held a small knife, and swung at the wild boar's crotch.

Cao Cao's skill was extremely quick, and he only heard the wild boar wailing, and when the sound fell, Cao Cao had already stood up from the wild boar.

"If there's any difficulty, it's just a knife!"

While speaking, Cao Cao conveniently put the things in his hands aside, and walked towards Xi Yu while talking.

Xi Yu moved back.

What does Boss Cao mean, you want to pat me on the shoulder just now?

Cao Cao didn't notice Xi Yu's intention of backing away. After the kung fu was done, he immediately washed his hands in the copper basin next to him.

After the matter of killing the pig was completed, Xi Yu began to explain to the soldiers how to deal with the wild boar in the future.

These wild boars will then need to be castrated.

After learning that some of the people raised pigs, Xi Yu also began to order people to collect pigs from the people's homes.

The few wild boars now need to be kept in the barracks for the time being.

At that time, after a few months, it is almost ready, and it can be slaughtered.

After finishing the work on the wild boar, Xi Yu took Cao Cao and the others into his big tent.

"My lord, it's not because of the wild boar!"

Xi Yu guessed that Cao Cao was somewhat impatient now.

Xuzhou was attacked before, and now most of Xuzhou has been captured by Cao Cao.

Before the beginning of spring, Cao Cao's intention to attack Xuzhou had already been exposed, and it was even on the surface.

The whole Cao Ying knew it well.

Before coming to Chungeng, Cao Cao deliberately attacked Xuzhou.

Sure enough, as Xi Yu spoke, Cao Cao sat at the top and nodded.

"After the next year, the imperial court has ordered that the reign name be changed. From this year onwards, it will be the Xingping reign name!"

"Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north will have a battle sooner or later, and now the princes from all over the world are eager to attack each other!"

"Although Yuan Shao looks forward and backward, I think that Gongsun Zanbi is no match for him. The shortest time is a year, and the longest time is a few years. The war in the north will definitely end!"

"This time, there is no time to wait, not to mention that I heard that Liu Bei's reputation in Xuzhou is getting stronger and stronger!"

"Tao Qian is nothing to worry about, but this person can easily become a serious problem!"

"If you allow him to develop in Xuzhou for a while, in the future, I will be waiting to capture Xuzhou, it will not be that simple!"

Cao Cao was eager to attack Xuzhou, and the more important reason was that Liu Bei was still in Xuzhou.

If the other party is allowed to continue to develop, the whole Xuzhou may become Liu Bei's by then.

There are rumors that Tao Qian is seriously ill now, and he intends to cede the position of Xuzhou to Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei is really allowed to inherit Xuzhou's territory, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?
"Fengyi, when do you think it is appropriate for our army to attack Xuzhou?"

After Cao Cao finished his analysis, he turned his head and asked Xi Yu.

Hearing this, Xi Yu raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao. Boss Cao's scruples were indeed right.

It's just that he doesn't have much opinion on attacking Xuzhou right now.

He turned his head to look at Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai.

"Two brothers, what do you think?"

Noticing his younger brother looking at him, Xi Zhicai instantly thought of what Xi Yu said at home.

He also investigated Chen Liu's side before, and found that Chen Gong was indeed in touch with Lu Bu.

Now Xi Yu asked himself, obviously wanting to persuade Cao Cao.

"My lord, I don't recommend attacking Xuzhou this time!"

"The previous attack on Xuzhou has not been fully digested by Yanzhou. Although Yanzhou has plenty of food and grass, it is difficult to support a protracted battle!"

"If this battle drags on for too long, it may cause serious trouble to our army!"

After all, Xi Zhicai didn't say anything about worrying about Chen Liu, but said that it was not suitable to attack Xuzhou at the moment.

Now the spring plowing has not yet started, and a great battle last year has already consumed a lot of grain and grass in Yanzhou.

If you continue to attack Xuzhou before the spring plowing, it will be fine for a short time, but if you can't capture Xuzhou for a long time, I'm afraid Cao Jun will be dragged down!
Xun Yu beside him also nodded.

"My lord, what Zhicai said is true. If you want to attack Xuzhou, you might as well wait until after the autumn harvest!"

After the two expressed their opinions, Cao Cao, who was at the top, couldn't help frowning.

Regarding Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu's views, he had asked earlier.

It was precisely because both of them disapproved of Chun Geng's attack on Xuzhou that Cao Cao couldn't help asking Xi Yu.

It's just that I didn't expect that what Xi Yu meant now seemed to be similar to the two of them.

However, today's big man is eager to compete for territory from all over the world.

The land of Xuzhou was so close that he even expected to annex the whole of Xuzhou in a short time.

"I can't wait!"

"I've already made up my mind about this matter!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath: "Everyone, I naturally understand that if this battle cannot be resolved quickly, Yanzhou will definitely be dragged down!"

"However, if you don't do some things now, there will be more variables if you continue to drag it on!"

"Wars are not 100% successful. If you hesitate because of some concerns, what is the difference between me and Yuan Shao?"

"I admit that I have something to gamble on, but this time I am willing to gamble!"

"You are willing!"

Speaking of Cao Cao, his eyes fell on Xi Yu, and his eyes clearly said, didn't you tell me before that you started a war with Xuzhou after spring plowing?
What do you mean by not talking right now?
Seeing Cao Cao's eyes, Xi Yu naturally understood.

Boss Cao has made up his mind, he even mentioned such things as gambling, let alone comparing himself with Yuan Shao.

Having said this, Cao Cao's intention to attack Xuzhou can no longer be changed.

Xi Yu nodded: "Brother, are you not worried about Hanoi Lu Bu?"

"That Lu Bu is not a person who is content with others. Although he is currently living under Zhang Yang's command, the latter is also worried about Lu Bu!"

"Although the two are safe and sound this time, Zhang Yang will definitely not let Lu Bu stay under Zai's command for too long."

"This time, Hanoi is next to our Yanzhou, so Lu Bu may use our army to attack Xuzhou, and make trouble with my Yanzhou!!"

After thinking about it, Xi Yu pointed out Lu Bu's question.

When Cao Cao heard this, he didn't take it seriously at all.

"Lu Bu, don't worry, you're just a reckless man!"

……

When Cao Cao planned to attack Xuzhou again, the situation in Xuzhou was also a little complicated.

In Xiapi City.

Since assisting Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Guan Zhang, and Guan Zhang have been stationed in Xiapi City after the former Cao Cao retreated.

Tao Qian's thousands of Danyang soldiers were unconsciously gathered by Liu Bei under his command.

Even some of Tian Kai's soldiers recognized Liu Bei as the master.

Although he is currently living in Xuzhou, there is a faint tendency to become bigger.

Under this trend, some people have already raised the idea of ​​letting Liu Bei succeed Xuzhou, and even Tao Qian seems to have seen this result.

Today's Tao Qian, since he became seriously ill, has become more and more aware that he may not be able to last long.

The minds of the major families in Xuzhou have been confused.

There are not many people who are still facing him now.

"Come on, please General Liu!"

After thinking about it for a long time, Tao Qian found that he seemed to be able to let go of the Lord of Xuzhou now, and this candidate, after careful consideration, was actually very suitable for Liu Bei.

On the one hand, his surname is Liu, and the world of the Han family belongs to the Liu family.

Second, Liu Bei is a man of benevolence, and Tao Qian has heard of his various deeds in Xuzhou, so he can be regarded as a gentleman of benevolence and righteousness.

If Xuzhou is handed over to the other party, it will not be a good talk.

Relying on Liu Bei's character, as long as he entrusts Xuzhou to the other party, Liu Bei will definitely treat his younger generations properly.

Third, Cao Cao's desire to covet Xuzhou in the past is clearly revealed, but now Xuzhou is just a hot potato after all.

When Tao Qian summoned Liu Bei, Liu Bei, who was in Xiapi City, quickly received the news.

"The envoy summoned me?"

After the envoys in the city delivered the news to Liu Bei, Liu Bei couldn't help feeling a little hot in his heart.

During this period of time living in Xuzhou, Liu Bei had heard some news about Tao Qian's intention to entrust Xuzhou to him.

This is not an idea to calm his mind, but Tao Qian really can't last much longer now.

"Brother, it seems that Tao Shijun really wants to send Xuzhou to Brother!"

Zhang Fei smiled. Seeing that Liu Bei didn't look like he was in a hurry to get up, he couldn't help but began to urge him.

"Brother, what are you waiting for, let's go, go and get Xuzhou Zhoumu's seal!"

Hearing what Zhang Fei said, Liu Bei turned his head and couldn't help but stare at him.

"Yidexiu wants to talk nonsense!"

It is Tao Qian's own business whether Tao Qian lets Xuzhou go or not. Although he is a little hot in his heart, he can't express this kind of thinking.

Right now Zhang Fei is bluffing. In this situation, it seems that he is eager to take Xuzhou over.

If this matter gets out, how will outsiders think of Liu Bei.

Even if Tao Qian really wanted to entrust Xuzhou to himself right now, he couldn't accept it.

Liu Bei knew in his heart that the greater the interests in front of him, the more he would naturally be sober.

It is not a good thing to accept Xuzhou rashly, not to mention that he is just living in Xuzhou, and even now in the whole of Xuzhou, I don't know how many aristocratic families are staring at Xuzhou Mu's position.

As a guest living here, I really thought it was such a simple matter to get the position in Xuzhou.

"Brother, what are you worried about? Elder Tao will give up Xu Zhoumu's position to you. Do other people dare to say anything?"

"If someone really dares to talk nonsense, the Zhangba Snake Spear in my old Zhang's hand will not agree at all!"

Zhang Fei didn't know why Liu Bei looked forward and backward, but Guan Yu beside him didn't have much thought.

He felt that if his eldest brother took over Xu Zhoumu's position, there would be no problem at all.

With his eldest brother's ability, it is no problem to be a small Xuzhou shepherd.

"Okay, Yide, stop talking nonsense. Since the envoy is summoned, I will pack up and meet the envoy later!"

After thinking about it, Liu Bei instructed Zhang Fei again, so as to save the other party from talking nonsense after going out.

I don't plan to take over Xuzhou's position right now, so don't Zhang Fei talk nonsense outside, as if he can't wait.

Zhang Fei hummed and did not speak.

After the three brothers packed their bags, they began to move towards Xuzhou City.

At the same time, the Xuzhou Chen family!
Within the Chen residence.

"My son, does Liu Xuande intend to take over as the lord of Xuzhou?"

Chen Gui asked his son Chen Deng.

The latter nodded: "Father, I think that Liu Bei has a gap in his chest, and he is a man who has achieved great things, but this man values ​​his name!"

"This matter in Xuzhou, I'm afraid you and I have to do our best!"

It seems that it is not easy for Liu Bei to take over the position of Xuzhou smoothly, and the father and son have to come forward in person.

There is such a rumor in Xuzhou this time, and the Chen family has made a lot of moves in it.

But now, Tao Qian had this idea in his heart. Chen Deng had met Tao Qian a few days ago.

After the other party met, they asked him what he thought of Liu Xuande.

After hearing Tao Qian's question, Chen Deng already felt that Tao Qian was ready.
