Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 300 Cao Cao: How to solve the shortage of food and grass

Lu Yi looked at Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun and others and laughed so happily.

Firstly, they know how to prepare surprises for themselves.

Secondly, what is in this iron box is undoubtedly gunpowder.

Previously, I asked Yan Xiang to find Zuo Ci, told Zuo Ci the composition of the gunpowder, and asked him to study the proportions.

Looking at the height of this flame, it is quite powerful.

After that, just call Zuo Ci and let him continue to study other proportions, grenades and the like.

When I think of the future war, I just throw grenades.

Lu Yi felt instantly elated.

This is definitely a crushing game!

If you can still research and unearth cannons.

After that, the scene of attacking the city is unimaginable!

Lu Yi's mind reappeared in the famous scene he had seen before traveling through time: Second Regiment Commander, where is my Italian cannon!
Lu Yi briefly said a few words to Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun and others before going back to sleep.

He was really tired after this bumpy journey.

Moreover, there are more important things tomorrow.

For example, he now has the power to appoint hundreds of officials including prime minister, lieutenant, and general.

So, it is time to seal off these official positions now, which can be regarded as an explanation and encouragement to all the civil and military officials under our command.

Having been the Lord of Jiangdong for so long, he fully understands the significance of timely rewards and punishments.

He also had to reshape Wu County.

He used to be the lord of Jiangdong, so there was no problem in using this government office.

Now the state of Wu has become a state.

As the capital of the country, Wuxian County must be reshaped.

However, because money is in short supply, you have to plan carefully.

Also, the trial implementation of the imperial examination last year had good results, and young talents such as Liu Ba, Zhou Buyi, Ma Liang, and Jiang Wan were discovered.

Especially Ma Liang and Jiang Wan performed quite well against Yuan Shao this time.

This can be used as an excuse to promote the imperial examination from Wu County to other states and counties.

The most critical issue is the rest and recuperation in the next two to three years.

How can we maximize the effect of rest and recuperation?

For example, encourage the reclamation of wasteland, reward production, etc.

all kinds.

Many things need to be dealt with urgently.

At this time, Anding County, Liangzhou.

Dead bodies everywhere on the streets!
Blood flowed everywhere.

Soldiers could be seen everywhere cleaning up corpses.

At the south gate of the city, a group of people were patrolling.

It was Cao Cao and others.

Since being killed by Ma Chao in Tongguan, Cao Cao has been looking for opportunities to defeat the army of Guanzhong princes led by Ma Chao.

Finally, a month ago, he adopted the strategy of the military advisor to offer wine to Guo Jia, and used the hatred between Han Sui and Ma Chao to drive a wedge between the two, prompting Ma Chao and Han Sui to turn against each other.

Han Sui had one of his arms cut off by Ma Chao!
The two sides fought fiercely.

Seeing this, the other princes who were originally gathered together fell apart and started fighting.

Finally, Ma Chao defeated Han Sui and other princes.

And Han Sui chose to lead other armies to surrender to Cao Cao!

Cao Cao took advantage of Ma Chao and other princes to finish the battle. His internal turmoil caused his strength to be greatly reduced. He then joined forces with Han Sui to launch a siege against Ma Chao.

Finally, Cao Cao avenged his vengeance by cutting off his beard and abandoning his robes at the Wei River, killing Ma Chao's army and causing them to abandon their helmets and armor.

Cao Cao led his army to pursue and fight fiercely.

Just now, he once again led an army to attack Anding County.

Ma Chao fled again, leaving his wife and three-year-old son behind.

Cao Cao strangled Ma Chao's son to death!

As for Ma Chao's wife, Cao Cao had someone send her to her room.

In the evening, he had plenty of time to mess around.

But now, he has more important things.

Just patrolling Anding County.

During this attack on the city, he killed many soldiers.

For this reason, he allowed these soldiers to massacre the newly captured city.

All young women belong to whoever grabs them.

All money belongs to whoever grabs it.

Moreover, he asked people to spread the news to other cities in Liangzhou.

In the subsequent cities, as long as the army arrives and opens the city to surrender, it will be easy to say.

The people in these cities are also Cao Cao's people.

As long as he abides by the law, Cao Cao will treat him well.

If he resists desperately, he will continue to massacre the city.

If the people in the city want to be resentful, then resent the officials who are unwilling to open the city and surrender!

At this moment, seeing the soldiers everywhere holding the daughters of the common people and tossing them wantonly, and the daughters of the common people screaming heart-breakingly, there was no change in the expression on Cao Cao's face, as if he didn't hear or see it.

Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others looked at this scene with their eyes looking at their noses and their noses looking at their hearts.

At this moment, a figure ran over.

It was Li Dian.

Li Dian was originally ordered by Xun Yu to lead his tribe to deliver food and grass to Cao Cao's army who was fighting against Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu.

After Cao Cao abandoned the Central Plains and marched to Tongguan with his army, preparing to attack Liangzhou, Li Dian also took his tribe with him.

At this time, Li Dian was still responsible for collecting and supervising the transportation of grain and grass.

Arriving in front of Cao Cao, Li Dian bowed to Cao Cao and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Sikong, there is not much food in the granary in this city."

"I asked the officials."

"He said that when Ma Chao retreated, he adopted the strategy of military counselor Deng Zhi and burned all the food and grass that could not be taken away to prevent it from being left to us."

Cao Cao looked at Li Dian with a gloomy face and said, "How much food and grass do we have?" Li Dian was a little afraid to look at Cao Cao and said, "At most, we can last for ten days."

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others around him and said, "Sir, it's time to make an idea."

"Without food and grass, how can the army have the energy to fight?"

"Ok?"

"Don't be silent."

Guo Jia glanced at the corpses around him and frowned slightly.

He did think of a way.

However, he did not dare to speak.

This is definitely a matter of annihilating one's descendants and shortening one's lifespan.

and.

Once you open your mouth, you will always be nailed to the rack of shame and be despised by future generations for thousands of years.

Guo Jia said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, Sikong, I'm incompetent."

Cao Cao squinted his eyes.

He also glanced at the corpses around him, then looked at Xun You and said, "Gongda, tell me how to deal with these corpses in the safest way?"

Xun You: "."

Cao Cao said "Huh?" "With your ability, can this still be a problem for you?"

Li Dian on the side heard what Cao Cao said, and sweat rolled down his forehead.

How else to deal with the bodies of soldiers who died in battle?
Isn't it always done that way?
Sikong specifically mentioned this at this critical moment——

Li Dian wiped the cold sweat from his face and lowered his head, not daring to raise his head.

I hope you don’t ask this question on your own head.

Xun You met Cao Cao's gaze, pondered for a moment, and said, "Just handle it properly."

Cao Cao: ".Properly dispose of it? How to dispose of it properly?"

Xun You looked at Cao Cao, nodded and said, "Yes, handle it properly."

Cao Cao: "."

There was some disappointment in his eyes.

He thought of Xun Yu.

Both uncle and nephew have outstanding abilities.

However, they cannot be completely devoted to themselves.

Xun Yu would rather die than leave with him.

This Xun You, what he said has been so obvious, he still pretends to be deaf and dumb to himself.

Cao Cao shook his head, and his eyes finally fell on Cheng Yu, an old minister who had followed him for many years.

Cheng Yu felt Cao Cao's gaze and breathed out secretly.

Someone has to take the blame for this kind of thing.

We can't let Sikong go.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu raised his head, forced out a smile and said, "Please Sikong leave this matter to me. Moreover, I happened to think of a way to replenish food and grass."

Cao Cao said happily: "Zhongde, you still know my heart!"

"Over the years, you have followed me in many battles, and have made numerous meritorious deeds."

"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly when I take Yizhou."

Cheng Yu thanked him.

Cao Cao looked at Li Dian again and said, "You and Zhongde will take over the matter of food and grass from now on."

Li Dian responded.

Cheng Yu left the team and took Li Dian aside.

Cao Cao continued to patrol with Guo Jia, Xun You, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun and others.

When he reached the government office in the city, Cao Cao was about to enter.

A soldier came galloping on horseback, and while he was still far behind, he shouted loudly: "Report, there is urgent information coming from Xudu!"

Cao Cao and everyone stopped.

Guo Jia grabbed a bamboo tube from the soldier's hand, opened it, took out a piece of cloth and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took the cloth and glanced at it.

His face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face.

After a while, he sighed again, handed the cloth to Guo Jia, and motioned for him to pass it on. While leading everyone to the government office, he said: "Yuan Shao was defeated!"

"One hundred thousand infantry archers and ten thousand cavalry were defeated by Lu Yi'er's [-] infantry archers."

"Not only that, but Xu Du and Runan were also lost."

The crowd suddenly became noisy.

"how is this possible!"

"How could Yuan Shao lose to Jiang Dong with such a huge advantage?"

"In the past two or three years in Jiangdong, there have been constant wars and recuperation. Taxes in most areas have been reduced or exempted. All taxes in Kuaiji and other counties are in decline. How can it be possible to win against Yuan Shao, who has strong soldiers and horses and abundant food and grass?"

"Back in Guandu, we were beaten by Yuan Shao until we could only parry!"

Guo Jia handed the cloth to Xun You and sighed: "That's not all. The Marquis of Wu, no, it should be the King of Wu now, has elected Liu Feng as the new emperor, and the new emperor has named him King of Wu, establishing the Kingdom of Wu. Jiangdong, has already It’s become a climate.”

Looking at Cao Cao, Guo Jiadao said: "Now, Yuan Shao has reorganized his army and gone south again, and it is possible to defeat Jiangdong."

"Otherwise, if we miss the most declining period of Jiangdong, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Sikong, you can write to Yuan Shao to remind him."

"At this time, we cannot just wallow in failure."

“Rebuilding is the big thing.”

"Inform Yuan Shao and let him hold on for a while."

"When we take Liangzhou, we can also send troops."

"Although we and Jiangdong were once allies, at this time, we are just enemies!"

Cao Cao was convinced, so he looked at Xun You and said, "Gongda, you will write it, and then show it to me, and then send it to Yecheng as soon as possible."

"In such a life-and-death situation, I just hope that Yuan Shao will not be confused again."

Xun You responded.
