Chapter 448: : Cao Cao's surprise

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! "Master, according to the news from the spies, Jinhou grinds the locusts into powder, adds them to the noodles, makes them into noodles, and distributes them. To the soldiers and refugees in the army.” Joze said, even if he was stunned when he heard about Bingzhou’s eating of locusts, he thought that Bingzhou’s purchase of locusts was to allow the people to actively catch locusts to resist. Locust disaster.

"Really edible?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

The strategy said: "According to the news from Xizuo, the generals in the Union State Army did not resist. Perhaps they did not know that they were eating locusts, but before the Union State Army changed three meals a day to two meals, they also recovered. It's normal." I have to say that he also admired Lu Bu's method very much. He even dared to suspend the payment of military pay to alleviate the disaster. If such a thing would still be so stable in the Yanzhou army, this is also the reason why he is more afraid of merging the state.

"One catty of locusts is one dollar, but one catty of rice needs five dollars. The most indispensable thing in Yanzhou and Yuzhou today are locusts. Come and catch some locusts." Cao Cao seems to have found a way to alleviate the crisis in Yanzhou. It is too sensational to say that eating locusts is too sensational. As long as they can survive, even if they are grassroots, the people are rushing to eat. For Yanzhou, this is definitely a surprise.

And now the rice grains have soared all the way. The rice grains that usually cost more than one hundred bucks for one stone need three hundred bucks now. Especially the family's secret control of the price of rice grains has made the price of grains in Yanzhou and Yuzhou soar.

After ordering the soldiers in the army to experiment, Cao Cao was overjoyed. These soldiers who ate the noodles mixed with locusts and noodles, not only did not have any strangeness, but they were even more scrambled when they ate the noodles, with noodles mixed with locusts. Cake, more fragrant.

"Legend to Wenruo, dried locusts can be purchased at a price of two catties and one dollar." Cao Cao said.

The strategy naturally knows how these noodles are made, but he also knows that Yanzhou has reached a critical moment. If the current situation cannot be relieved, even after the immediate crisis, how much can the people of Yanzhou and Yuzhou have left? In the troubled times, the competition is more about the number of people. With the number of people, it is easier to feed the army, even if it is conscription, it can be done easily.

The locusts can be eaten, which greatly eases the pressure on the Yanzhou Army's grain and grass, and is more confident in breaking through Shouchun.

"Lord, there are merchants who secretly bought locusts in Yanzhou and Yuzhou. It must be Jinhou's handwriting. These people, do you want to..." Cheng Yu stepped forward and said in a low voice.

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, "The Union State Army is strong, and Benhou has an appointment with Fengxian. There is a locust plague in Yanzhou, and Xuzhou and Jingzhou are watching. We should make good friends with Bingzhou." Even so, Cao Cao had a premonition that he and Fengxian had an appointment. There must be a battle between Lu Bu.

In Shouchun City, when Cao Cao led the army to the outside of the city, the hearts of the people were floating. Since losing to the allied forces that day, Yuan Shu has seldom bothered about affairs in the army. Yuan Shuting, who just got up from the hospital bed After the news of Cao Jun's arrival, he fell back on the bed again. Sending envoys to the Cao Jun was no result. On the contrary, even the envoys also beheaded for Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu hated Cao Cao deeply. If he hadn't occupied Yuzhou and cut off the back of the Jingzhou army, how could there be Cao Cao now.

"Yan Situ, you go to Cao Jun again. If Cao Jun is willing to retire, I am willing to sell the method of making crossbows to Cao Jun." Yuan Shu said slowly, he didn't want to die. He has a beautiful harem and a palace that has just been repaired. Before he can enjoy himself, he is the emperor of the Zhong family.

"Holy Lord, I fear that Cao Jun is plotting Shouchun. Now the people in the city are panicking and the military is floating." Yan Xiang worried. In contrast, Yuan Shu's failure is the direct cause of Shouchun's current situation. Yuan Shu has The method of making the bed crossbow, as long as you order the craftsman to build it, within a few months, you can once again have a big army that you dare not despise. When they arrive, they can only return without success. In front of a weapon such as a crossbow, Cao Jun's siege methods can only be described as trivial.

"Order the general to strengthen the patrol in the city. I am the emperor of the Zhong family. Even if they are not afraid of Cao Jun, what are they afraid of." Yuan Shu roared, and then coughed constantly. He didn't build a crossbow. It was just what Yuan Shu said on the surface. After all, those artisans who disappeared in the city were also hidden by Yuan Shu. Now Shouchun still has a hundred crossbows, which is his last trump card to defend Shouchun.

Yan Xiang arched his hands and said: "The Dragon Body is the most important thing in the Saint of Hope." In fact, he really wanted to persuade Yuan Shu to express his conviction. If he is willing to dedicate the jade seal to Liu Biao, plus the method of making a crossbow, Liu Biao will definitely correct Yuan Shu's name. In this way, Shouchun’s embarrassment can be resolved. For example, Hua Xiong, who was a general of the Zhong family before, is alive and well after taking refuge in Liu Biao. He also knows Yuan Shu’s character and can only secretly worry about what lies behind him. In any case, he was a minister of the Zhong family In the eyes of the princes, he was rebellious.

"Go, as long as Cao Jun can retreat, Yan Situ can act in a timely manner." Yuan Shu waved his hand weakly.

The Zhong family once again sent to the Cao Jun, and Yan Xiang was condemned by the Cao Jun generals. This was also due to his status. If the Cao Jun was weak and sent someone to the Zhong family, the Zhong family's civil officers and generals would certainly ridicule.

"Master, this time Yan Xiang came here, I am afraid it is to allow our army to retreat." The strategy laughed.

Cao Cao caressed his beard lightly, his expression full of confidence, "Yuan Shuwang claims to be the emperor, but a rebel. This lord will punish the thieves without breaking his life and vowing not to give up."

"Master, what if Yuan Shu is willing to send the method of making the bed crossbow and the jade seal to our army?"

Cao Cao's expression was slightly stagnant, "The method of making the bed crossbow must be obtained, and the jade seal must also be dedicated to the holy."

As long as you have the method of making a crossbow, why can't you break through the land of Xuzhou. If you occupy Shouchun and own the land of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou at the same time, and then you can use the army, who can stop him, and he will stay with his name. Qing history.

"Why don't the lord settle Yuan Shu's heart first." The strategy said slowly.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Let the envoy of the Zhong family come in."

After a conversation, Yan Xiang left Cao Jun in a hurry. Cao Cao’s promise is very important to the current Shouchun. Although Shouchun is chaotic, the soldiers in the army are still loyal to Yuan Shu, as long as Yuan Shu can survive the failure. Walking out of the shadows, the Zhong family still has hope. As for Yuan Shu's desire to sell the bed crossbow to Cao Jun, it is completely unrealistic, but after Cao Jun gets the bed crossbow, will he retreat? This is the most important thing. If the two sides exchange identities, he would not choose to retreat. After all, Shouchun is already at his fingertips.
