“Delicious, delicious!”

As soon as Cao Cao finished eating a bite of potatoes, he sincerely appreciated it.

In the past few days, Cao Cao has been eating dry food and instant noodles in the army.

Moreover, it is still the kind that does not cook.

Most of the time it is instant noodles and water.

Although Cao Yi gave the recipe for making instant noodle dough cakes.

But the dough cake only has a dough flavor.

Other than that, no other additives were added at all.

I can’t add it.

Therefore, chewing instant noodles is indeed a little dry in the absence of expectations.

Although it can fill the stomach, it can also greatly compress the space and manpower and material resources occupied by the weight.

But the taste is real.

After all, cumin and the method of salt production have not yet been popularized, and Cao Pi has been in the experimental stage.

Therefore, when he ate the potatoes, Cao Cao’s reaction was so fierce.

“Zhongde, Gongda, Zixiao, you all come to taste!”

Cao Cao did not hesitate, put all the potatoes on the table, and signaled everyone to come and share the food.

This time, Cao Pi sent about two hundred potatoes.

Obviously, it was not used as military food, but simply for Cao Cao to taste.

If it is used as military food, then the people will have nothing to eat.

“What is this? How is it so sweet and delicious? ”

Cheng Yu bit off half of the potato, suddenly rounded his eyes, and asked with an incredulous face.

“The letter sent by Zihuan said that this thing was a potato.”

“But there are not many plants, and it can’t be used as military food for the time being.”

“But the production of this thing is amazing, reaching …”

While eating, Cao Cao looked at the letter sent by Cao Pi and read it.

However, it came to an abrupt end here.

“Xiangxiang, how much is the production of this thing?”

Everyone’s interest was immediately hooked, and they asked curiously.

“On average… Average yield of forty-four stone! ”

Cao Cao almost suspected that he had seen it wrong, and rubbed his eyes twice before slowly speaking.

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.

“This thing is so precious, is it a hundred acres of yield?”

Cheng Yu couldn’t help but mutter.

If it is a hundred acres of output, this yield is inevitably too small.

How can such a thing be used as military food?

It’s just enough to eat occasionally, and the real military food has to be corn and wheat noodles.

In fact, it is no wonder that Cheng Yu thinks so.

After all, if you use stone to describe the yield, most of the cases are used as a hundred acres of production to start.

However, Cao Cao shook his head and said:

“It’s mu yield!”

“Mu yield, forty-four stone!”

At this moment, everyone suddenly couldn’t hold back.

Cheng Yu was even more frightened and almost dropped half of the potatoes in his hand on the ground.

“Isn’t Xiangmo joking?”

“How can there be such a high-yield crop in the world?”

“The yield of corn is only three stones!”

Cheng Yu was directly dumbfounded, and said with a puzzled face.

Cao Cao smiled and said:

“Hahahaha, what did I lie to you?”

“With this output, if it is planted on a large scale, our army’s military grain will never stop!”

Military food is now a major emergency, and both Cao Cao and other princes are extremely short of food.

Especially in recent years, the continuous natural disasters have made food in various places stretched.

The appearance of potatoes in the sky is undoubtedly a direct pull!

“It turns out that this thing was found by Ei’er.”

“Hahaha, my good girl, you can give me a different surprise every time!”

After Cao Cao saw Cao Ei’s name, he couldn’t close his mouth with a smile.

“It turned out to be taught by Xiao Gongzi, no wonder it is such a divine artifact.”

Everyone sighed.

But most people still can’t believe such exaggerated production.

Even if Cao Yi took out too many divine artifacts that shocked them.

But this kind of thing is simply a fool’s dream!

Perhaps Cao Pi intended to boost morale and specifically said so.

Otherwise, such an amazing yield, even if only one acre is planted, a lot of potatoes must be harvested.

How could they only send more than 200 to the barracks?

Cao Cao seemed to see everyone’s doubts, and coughed lightly:

“This time the potatoes are ripe, and Zihuan did not send all of them to the army.”

“Instead, it will be distributed to Jiangxia and other people in Jingzhou!”

“Zihuan really grew up this time!”

“I actually know how to win the hearts and minds of the people!”

“It seems that he has really been influenced by Ei’er!”

Hearing this, everyone didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

I heard that Lao Tzu edified the boy.

Where did you hear that the kid edifies Lao Tzu?

“How much food is left in the army?”

Cao Cao put away his smile and asked in a deep voice.

Cheng Yu hurriedly said:

“Minister Qiqi.”

“There is very little food left in the army today.”

“I’m afraid, I can only last a month at most.”

“If it were normal, it would probably be about ten days…”

Hearing this luxury, Cao Cao couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Up to a month…

After the new potatoes are planted, there is a gap of at least three months.

In other words, his army must hold out for at least three months.

However, fighting in Jiangdong for so long.

In addition, the northern army was desperately short of military food.

During this period, most of the grain and grass previously collected in Cai’s family had been used.

Although there are still a lot of grain and grass hoarded in Jingzhou.

But now it is obviously difficult to send to the Jiangdong front.

Previously, Cao Yi sent potatoes, but there were only a dozen soldiers and pawns to protect them.

The trail was not discovered by the Jiangdong Army.

If it is a large-scale heavy army, it will definitely become their target.

Now deep into the hinterland of Jiangdong, Liu Bei did not dare to confront him head-on.

He kept stabbing him in the back.

And these are not the most difficult, the most difficult thing is that it is difficult to conquer Wudu in a short time.

If you can’t beat Wudu, everything is empty talk.

“Minister Cheng, our army might as well suspend the war for the time being.”

“After this potato artifact is ripe, it will not be too late for the army to launch a general attack with enough food.”

At this moment, Xun You advised in a deep voice.

Conquering Wudu did not happen overnight.

Now it has won the three counties of Jiangdong, and the benefits are far greater than expected.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan have already decided to fight on their backs.

At this time, if you forcibly attack, I am afraid it will only backfire.

“The lower official seconded.”

At this moment, Cheng Yu spoke:

“Although there are small princes in the north at present, there are small princes guarding the town.”

“But if Minister Cheng does not return to the north for a long time, I am afraid that Xiao Gongzi and Xun Lingjun alone may not be able to suppress it.”

“Now you might as well retreat to the three counties for the time being, keep an eye on Liu Bei, and recuperate.”

“Minister Cheng can also take this opportunity to return to Xudu to have a look.”

This time, the opinions of Cheng Yu and Xun You were unexpectedly consistent.

Although Cheng Yu is a radical, this time he knows very well that if he is blindly radical, he is very likely to be devoured because of this.

Once the north is in chaos, the war in the south will also be unstable.

Previously, Cao Yi advised to continue to attack Chibi because he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and fight hard.

Now I can’t imagine that this Jiangdong is so difficult to fight.

So much so that after dragging on for so long, he couldn’t even capture Wudu.

“What the two of you said is very true.”

Cao Cao also stood with his hands in his hands and said in a deep voice:

“In that case, I will retire for the time being.”

“Moreover, don’t guard the three counties anymore.”

“Just hold a county.”

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.

Cao Ren was immediately puzzled:

“Cheng Xiang, don’t do this!”

“These three county towns were all built down by our army’s hard work.”

“If the city is suddenly abandoned at this time, won’t it make the soldiers chill?”

Even Cheng Yu and Xun You were puzzled.

Although they said that they would avoid the edge for the time being, they did not expect Cao Cao to do so decisively!

These two county towns, especially Chaisang, which was just hard to beat.

Wouldn’t it be a pity if it was just lost?

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly:

“I’ve made up my mind.”

“These two cities are useless to me.”

“If you can’t completely subdue Jiangdong, what if you can sit on them?”

“The people in the city are disobedient to our army, and assassinations are frequent, and they are eager to get rid of me as soon as possible.”

“There is no food to speak of, and there is no manpower to speak of.”

“It tastes like chicken ribs!”

Hearing Cao Cao’s words, Zhongwen Wu was speechless for a while.

Although I don’t want to admit it, this is the bloody truth.

Unable to quickly capture Wudu, these two county cities became a burden.

If only one county town is left, it is better to completely remove the idea of Liu Bei cutting off the way back.

It can also transport grain and grass over again.

Falling in touch with Jiang Xia, Jiang Dong was forced to breathe.

“It’s worthy of being a minister, there is such a strategy to retreat.”

“I’m waiting for it hastily.”

Cheng Yu couldn’t help muttering in his heart.

But he was puzzled.

Since his southern expedition, Cao Cao has always been eager to attack and kill.

How did I suddenly change my personality today.

However, he did not know that Cao Cao himself did not intend to withdraw his troops.

Not to mention returning the two county towns to Jiangdong.

After all, these are all bought with the lives of soldiers.

But just yesterday, Cao Cao received a secret letter from the scout.

The person who wrote this secret letter was none other than Cao Yi, who was far away in Xudu.

Cao Yi had already expected that the current Cao army would not be able to conquer the Wudu in a short time.

This method of retreating is given.

At first, Cao Cao was still a little dissatisfied.

But on second thought, it’s a good idea.

If he insists on holding these three counties, he will become a burden to himself.

Especially Chaisang, the people would riot from time to time.

Why is it difficult to take Wudu?

That’s a big problem.

The people and the Jiangdong soldiers cooperated inside and out, and they kept causing riots in the rear.

If this situation continues, even if there is enough food and grass, the 200,000 army will be grinded to death by Jiangdong in this way.

If you give up, you get it.

However, what really moved Cao Cao was the last sentence Cao said.

Three months of time.

After three months, not only potatoes, but also something else to give yourself.

Seeing this line, Cao Cao’s heart couldn’t help but look forward to it.

So far, each of the items that Cao Yi has taken out can be called a divine artifact.

Holding on like this for three months is not only enough food and grass, but also the mysterious things that Cao Yi said.

If it was originally used on water, it would be powerful enough to blow up the Jiangdong warship to pieces.

If you can use it on land.

Then this battle will be won absolutely securely!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn’t help but look in the direction of Xu Du.

Ei’er, Ei’er.

Don’t disappoint your father!
