Chapter 11 Li Yu’s poisonous plan to attack Xuzhou across the mountain.

Cao Cao’s face was ugly, even uglier than pig liver.

Li Yu hurriedly said:

"Lord, isn’t it just a plague of locusts?"

"The locusts ate the food, so we eat the locusts!"

"Eat locusts?"Cao Cao couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.

Locusts are also called divine insects. Anyone who eats locusts will suffer.

The people dare not eat locusts even if they starve to death.

"Eating meat is better than eating vegetarian food, and these locusts are delicious, everyone who has eaten them says they are delicious!"

After Li Yu finished speaking, he subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth, already beginning to savor the crispiness of the roasted locusts.

Cao Cao nodded:"It's not a bad idea!"

Between starving to death and eating locusts, Cao Cao would definitely choose to eat locusts!

Li Yu said again:

"We eat the locusts we can catch, and those we can’t catch are driven toward Xuzhou!"

"By the time we finish catching the locusts, the food harvest in Yuzhou will be almost done."

"Who are the people in Yuzhou? A group of thieves who brought trouble to the imperial court!"

"If you directly rob their granaries, your lord will do justice for God! Hearing this, Cao

Cao burst out laughing:"Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha!""

This strategy of killing three birds with one stone is simply amazing!

Cao Cao was so worried about food and grass that he couldn't sleep day and night.

Now Li Yu's words made him suddenly enlightened!

You can't live without conscience.

Once you have no conscience, you will only live. It’s even more comfortable!

Cao Cao said:"Sir’s words have the effect of enlightenment!"

"Where, where!"Li Yu bowed his hands and said modestly:

"Don't worry, my lord, as a military general, I am willing to be a pioneer in grabbing grain from Yuzhou, and I will never let you down!"

The smile on Cao Cao's face disappeared little by little.

The strategy was a good one, but as a military advisor, why did he always want to charge into the battle?

Going back and forth, Li Yu was paving the way for himself to be the vanguard!

Li Yu said again:

"Lord, I sincerely want to be a pioneer"

"If you don’t believe it, I’ll give you Tai Chi a thousand times……"

Cao Cao quickly waved his hand:

"No, no, no, I believe you"

"After the locust plague is over, the Dianwei camp can be the vanguard in the fight against Yuzhou!"

"Thank you, lord!"Li Yu gestured with his hands clasped in fists, and his face showed joy.

Early the next morning, Cao Jun's troops left the camp one after another and went to the wheat ridges in the fields to catch locusts with various homemade tools. They caught locusts from north to south, day after day..

The soldiers returned home with full loads every day.

The locusts that had been roaming the fields unscrupulously began to fear the Yanzhou Army and fled south one after another. In less than half a month, hundreds of thousands of locusts fled into Xuzhou.

The people cried out, The Xuzhou army had no food to harvest.

Xuzhou herder Liu Bei hurriedly summoned civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures

"Hundreds of thousands of mythical insects entered Xuzhou, and the crops in Tan County were eaten up."

"If this continues, our whole territory of Xuzhou will be out of food!"

"It is related to the danger of Xuzhou's military and civilians. I want to hear your suggestions!"

Zhang Fei stood up first:

"Brother, I heard that Cao Cao sent people to catch locusts in Yanzhou to eat."

"Why doesn't our army follow Cao Cao's example? Mi

Zhu immediately stood up and said:

"Lord, you must not do this!"

"Locusts are divine insects, and some people have seen locusts turn into fish and shrimps with their own eyes!"

"Locust food, God is punishing the people!"

"Since ancient times, there has been no reason to eat locusts, and people respect locusts as gods!"

"If our army catches locusts and eats them, we will be in great trouble!

Guan Yu shook his head:"It's simply ridiculous!"

Sun Qian said bluntly:"If there really are gods, Xuzhou should not have suffered such a disaster!""

Chen Gui said:

"The Lord should burn incense and offer sacrifices to heaven, asking God to forgive the soldiers and people of Xuzhou."

"Then send soldiers to seize agricultural grains from various places. This is the best policy!"

"Yeah! Mi Fang nodded repeatedly:"My lord, you must not go against the people's will!""

The Hebei faction brought by Liu Bei and the local Xuzhou faction have different opinions.

Hebei civil and military officials don't care about locusts at all.

But these people in Xuzhou regard locusts as gods and even kidnap them morally.

Zhang Fei added:

"What's so great about locusts?"

"Back in Pingyuan County, that person took us to catch locusts and eat them!"

Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the hall.

The person Zhang Fei was talking about naturally refers to Li Yu.

Now Li Yu has become a taboo in Xuzhou, and no one is allowed to mention this name again.

"Why!"Sun Qian sighed.

If the poisonous warrior Li Yu was still here, he would definitely take the lead in catching locusts to eat.

Even if the Xuzhou nobles were dissatisfied, Li Yu would definitely withstand all the pressure.

Once Li Yu died, Guan Yu disdained to fight with the nobles. Debate.

Zhang Fei respects scholars the most and is almost never an enemy of the nobles.

The Hebei faction has almost no say in Xuzhou.

Liu Bei then said:"Burn incense to worship the sky, and then hurry up to collect grain. As for the locusts, you must not catch them!""

"Here!"The civil and military officials sang"Oi" one after another.

Three days later, Liu Bei burned incense and offered sacrifices to heaven to pray for the soldiers and people of Xuzhou.

Then he sent soldiers and civilians to various places to fight against the locusts to grab food.

But how can a human being defeat the locusts?

……

A few days later, the Yanzhou Army camped.

It was late at night, but Cao Cao did not fall asleep.

Instead, Dian Wei set up a bonfire outside the tent and roasted the locusts.

Under the charcoal fire, the aroma is overflowing.

Cao Cao took two skewers of roasted locusts from the fire, one for Li Yu and one for himself.

"Thank you, Lord!"Li Yu gestured with his hands.

The two of them ate locusts, their mouths full of oil and water.

"Come on, pour the wine!"Cao Cao said loudly

"okay! Dian Wei shouted, quickly picked up the wine jar, and filled a bowl of wine for Cao Cao and Li Yu.

After picking up the wine bowl, Cao Cao said:"Wu Feng, why didn't you think of letting the soldiers eat locusts?"

Li Yu smiled:"Master, do you want to listen to the truth or lies?""

Cao Cao said:"I like to hear the truth! Li

Yu shook his head:"When I was in Pingyuan County, I not only ate locusts, I even ate human flesh!""

Cao Cao heard this and sighed:"I didn't expect that you would have such an unbearable experience! Li

Yu smiled bitterly:"This world is not peaceful, I just want to live!" Cao Cao also laughed:"

So, Liu Bei has also eaten locusts?""

"That doesn't happen! Li Yu shook his head:"Liu Bei would rather eat human flesh than locusts!""

"Hahaha! Cao Cao burst out laughing:"Liu Bei, you are really a gentleman with integrity!" Li

Yu said:"My lord's comments are so accurate!"

Cao Cao asked:"Do you know how Liu Bei dealt with the locusts when they arrived in Xuzhou?""
