"If you dare to say that you have given me a chance, no one has the qualifications except my virtuous brother!"
"Also...Ah, did you call me? Someone! Drag it out and chop it up! By the way, search the body to see if there is a map!"
Don't think that Cao Cao is very friendly to everyone in Cao Ying on weekdays, it's just because everyone is his brother who fights the world.
I tolerated their behavior a lot.
And Zhang Song, who is ugly and crazy, how could he be so magnanimous?
He is the prime minister of an extremely human minister, and he is the strongest in the whole big man. Are you looking for death if you go crazy with him?
Xu Chu took the order and dragged Zhang Song down to behead him.
"Cao Cao! How dare you kill me? I represent Yizhou!"
"Many people know that I came to Cao Ying. If you kill me, my lord Liu Zhang will never let you go! You have to think clearly!"
Zhang Song roared like he was about to tear apart.
Looking at Zhang Song who was struggling desperately, Pang Tong shook his head, thankful that he had learned to keep a low profile, otherwise he might have suffered so badly.
"Wait, my lord! This person cannot be killed for the time being!"
At this time, Xun Yu, the chief executive, stood up with a frown.
Cao Cao glanced at him, slightly puzzled.
"Why can't I kill? There are still people in the world that I, Cao Cao, can't kill?"
Xun Yu glanced at Zhang Song and sighed deeply, with worry in his eyes.
"My lord, he is here on behalf of Yizhou this time, and the two armies are fighting without beheading the envoy."
"My lord can't break this rule just because of impulse, otherwise the world will poke my lord's spine!"
"And after doing this, who dares to be my envoy of Cao Ying in the future? We can kill other people's envoys, and others can also kill our people! It will only be said that we are overbearing!"
Cao Cao nodded when he heard it, and thought it made sense.
For a great prince, reputation is more important than anything else, if you don’t obey the rules, who will tell you the rules?
Seeing this, Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and continued.
"In addition, my lord, you see, the most important thing for us right now is to attack Yangzhou and occupy Jingzhou, and completely eradicate the Sun family's influence."
"We don't have much spare energy to deal with that Liu Zhang. Although Zhang Song is a villain, he is also an individual, representing the face of Yizhou. If we kill him today, we will definitely turn against Liu Zhang of Yizhou."
"The subordinates are worried... When we attack Yangzhou, he will take the opportunity to make trouble and beat us in Jingzhou and Sizhou! Then there will be trouble again!"
After all, Xun Yu glanced at Zhang Song, and whispered in Cao Cao's ear vigilantly.
"My lord, according to reports from Zhicai and Jushou, we don't have much military rations. At most, we can only take down Jingzhou and Yangzhou, not enough to resist the invasion of Yizhou!"
"Besides, we have Yuan Yi here, why are you panicking? Isn't it just a map?"
"I suspect...he may have a world map in his mind, otherwise how would he know that there is a small country in the east of Yangzhou? And how would he know the appearance of the Western Regions?"
Chapter 829 Liu Bei: General, are there any prostitutes here?
After listening to Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao suddenly realized.
It has to be said that although Xun Yu usually doesn't pay attention, he still has a very strong view of the overall situation, and what he said is absolutely correct.
Now Cao Ying has about 60 to [-] troops that can fight, and the expenses are extremely huge.
Coupled with years of wars, there is no surplus food at all, and the food for this war is still temporarily expropriated.
Although they started and developed rapidly, their background is not strong enough after all. In just a few years, they have not accumulated much resources.
Once Liu Zhang came to attack when they had no food, the army would collapse because of lack of military pay, which Cao Cao didn't want to see.
Cao Cao took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and waved his hands.
"Yes, yes, Wen Ruo, you are right!"
"Zhongkang, did you find the map?"
"My lord! I didn't find it, this kid is very cunning, probably hiding somewhere else!"
Xu Chu replied respectfully.
Zhang Song became confident again: "Hmph! The map is all in my head, and no one wants it unless I draw it!"
"Get out! Kick him out! Isn't it just a map? I don't care about it!"
Cao Cao waved his hand, and Xu Chu kicked Zhang Song like a football.
After the sight of this unknown person was gone, the atmosphere suddenly eased.
Xia Houzhe smiled: "Why are you angry with such a person, by the way... You really don't care about the map of Yizhou? When did you become so generous?"
Cao Cao nodded, then snatched a bunch of kidneys from Xia Houzhe with a smile and gnawed on them, and looked at him with a flattering smile.
"Hey hey... It's just a map, I believe my brother will help me get it, right?"
"Come on, brother, eat oysters!"
Seeing Cao Cao's humble appearance, everyone staggered.
Compared with the domineering hero just now, the contrast is too great!It's almost like a licking dog.
Xia Houzhe rolled his eyes: "How do I know the map of Yizhou? I've never been there!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao froze and looked at him in disbelief.
"You...you don't know the map of Yizhou?"
"Nonsense! Who did you hear that I have a map? I didn't even know I had a map."
Xia Houzhe pouted.
Cao Cao's eyes were fixed, and he turned to look at Xun Yu.
Xun Yu frowned, grabbed a handful of barbecue and whistled, and walked to the corner with dodge eyes.
This angry Cao Cao's teeth are itching!
"Get Zhang Song back now...is there still time?"
Everyone: ╮(?o ? o?)╭
Cao Cao rubbed his forehead with his hands, and understood what it meant to say that a little patience can lead to chaos.
Seeing him deflated, Xia Houzhe laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, now Yueying, Zixiu and Liu Ye and I are researching an artifact together!"
"As long as it succeeds, the Xishu Mountains will no longer be an obstacle to us. At that time, why do we need any maps? The fight is over!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed.
He knew that Xia Houzhe would not let him down, he hadn't done it before, and he wouldn't do it now.
"really?"
"really!"
"Okay, let's not talk about Yizhou for now. Now that it's snowing heavily, I want to take Guiyang and defeat Liu Bei quickly, and then quickly return to Yangzhou!"
"Do you have any good ways to break through the snow? Tell me and you will be rewarded!"
Cao Cao was in a good mood, and turned to ask everyone.
Now he is not too young, he is in his forties, half of his life has passed the glitz.
He just wants to see the big Han unified in his lifetime.
This... is also his lifelong wish.
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and fell into thinking.
After a while, Jia Xu stood up with a sheep whip in his mouth.
"My lord, the snow is too thick now, a full foot and a half deep, and the cavalry and horses are left to Zhang Liao. We don't bring any other cavalry except the tiger and leopard cavalry."
"So it's no longer feasible to use sleds and steam cars. Now if you want to march, you can only shovel the snow on the road manually!"
Listening to Jia Xu's words, Lu Su frowned, realizing the flaw.
"There is a distance of six to seven hundred miles from Changsha City to Guiyang City. It will take a lot of time and manpower to shovel the snow!"
"And the progress is definitely not fast. It may not be possible to arrive in ten days, and... After a lot of snow removal and severe cold weather, how can our soldiers still have the strength to fight Liu Bei and the others?"
"In addition... Liu Bei defended Guiyang to the core. Even if we rushed outside the city, we couldn't attack the city. The ammunition and gunpowder for the artillery were all finished in Chibi, and Zhicai Jushou hadn't finished yet."
What Lu Su thought of, Jia Xu naturally thought of it too.
Jia Xu looked at the gloomy sky that was about to darken, and heaved a long sigh.
"I don't know how hard it is to shovel snow and march, but if I don't shovel snow... I don't know how long this winter will last, maybe three days, maybe half a month!"
"At that time, the military rations have been consumed, but the territory has not been won at all. Isn't it a waste of time?"
"Actually... as long as I can solve the exhaustion of the soldiers, I have a clever plan to lure Liu Bei out of the city and defeat him!"
There was a dangerous light in Jia Xu's eyes, and she added something for herself at the end.
"A serious strategy, not a poisonous one..."
Hearing Jia Xu and Lu Su's remarks, Cao Cao stared at the snow falling outside the pavilion, thinking of ways in his mind.
"How can it be so easy to restore the soldiers' strength and energy? The cold winter makes people sleepy and do not want to move, let alone after high-intensity snow shoveling."
Not only was Cao Cao helpless, but even Guo Jia and Cheng Yu were helpless.
If they want to recover their physical strength, they can only sleep and eat, and the place where they are stationed cannot be too far from Guiyang.
If they were far away, they had to dig snow the next day, and if they were close, they were worried that Liu Bei would sneak attack them while they were tired.
This matter is really difficult.
Just when everyone was at their wit's end, Xia Houzhe thought of something hoarded in his system.
So he stood up calmly.
"The matter of restoring the strength of the army... I can try it, give me three days!"
Everyone's eyes lit up suddenly, and they looked at him in disbelief.
"You can do this too? Tell me what you can do?"
Facing their questions, Xia Houzhe smiled mysteriously.
"When the time comes...you will know! I guarantee you like it! That thing is much more refreshing than the tea you drink."
Everyone looked forward to it for a while. Although they didn't know what Xia Houzhe was talking about, they also knew that what this guy brought out was not simple.
After eating and drinking enough, the group of people also dispersed, no longer disturbing the young couple's intimacy.
And Xia Houzhe took Huang Yueying, and the two took out many bottles and cans, and took out many special crops to start refining.
After all, time is limited, and it is not easy to make tens of thousands of troops within three days.
On the other side, in Guiyang City, Liu Bei, Liu Qi, Yan Liang, Guan Yu, Wei Yan, Chen Gong, and Zhuge Liang were all roasting in the city guard's mansion.
Together with Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang City, and his general Chen Yingbao Long, they are all here.
Looking at the vast expanse of whiteness outside the city, Liu Bei was in a good mood.
"Oh! This snow came at the right time. With the heavy snow blocking, Cao Ying couldn't attack us at all. Just let us rest for a while to adjust the morale of the army!"
"After running for so many days, my legs are fucking limping!"
Liu Bei was lying on the prefect's chair, letting the maid pinch his leg with a relaxed expression.
This kind of life is what he wants.
Listening to his words, Liu Qi had a bitter expression on his face, all the soldiers and horses in his hand had been scrapped by Liu Bei.
Now their combined strength is less than [-], and they have lost a lot of family property, money and food.
He couldn't even pay for the doctor's treatment.
"Uncle, is there any hope for us? Will you abandon your nephew?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head with a smile.
