Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 801

On the premise that he fought to the death and suffered more than a dozen knives as the price, he was really let out!

After all, soldiers are also human beings, and they are also afraid of death. A thin camel is bigger than a horse, and they don't want to be dragged into the water by Sun Ben's dying counterattack.

Everyone was nervous and cherished their lives and did not dare to fight to the death, thus creating conditions for Sun Ben to escape from birth.

Seeing Sun Ben riding a fast horse out of the siege, Zhou Dory was furious!

"Trash! You bunch of rubbish! You can't even leave a piece of poisoned garbage. What use do I need you?"

In a rage, Zhou Bing raised a knife and chopped down a soldier.

This also angered the other soldiers, who did not expect that they did not die at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of their superiors.

Seeing that Zhou Dory wanted to chop people up to vent his anger, the soldiers naturally didn't want to be slaughtered, so they also raised their knives and started chopping each other.

"Steamer! If you are not afraid of death, go on your own, what are you instigating us to do?"

"That's it! Look at what you can, use your own people to vent your anger if you can't beat others? It's dead anyway, brothers, just stand up and fuck it!"

The soldiers were also angry, and they got into a ball with Zhou Dory.

"Dare to attack me, you are courting death! If I can't beat Sun Ben, I can't beat you?"

Although Zhou Bream was a general, after killing five or six stabbing heads to stabilize the army's morale, he was also chopped and wounded all over his body.

Seeing that no one stabbed him, he suppressed the pain and roared, but he didn't dare to be so arrogant anymore.

"Holy shit! If we can't kill that bastard Sun Ben, we'll die when we go back, so hurry up!"

"He was poisoned and seriously injured, so he couldn't run far!"

Zhou Dory covered his wound, followed the blood trail left by Sun Ben with hundreds of guards, and chased him down.

A group of people chased all the way to a small mountain village.

"Look for it! His war horse is here, I have to dig three feet to find it for me!"

Zhou Bream and his group are like bandits entering the village, searching from house to house, and when they enter the houses of the people, they rummage through boxes and cabinets.

But after searching three or four times, he didn't find Sun Ben's figure until it was dark.

"Report to the general, I didn't find it!"

"Damn it! Where is this bastard hiding? Quickly, look for it in the nearby mountains and forests!"

"In life, you must see people, and in death, you must see corpses."

Zhou Dory cursed angrily, and hurriedly led the people to the vicinity.

Listening to the noisy footsteps walking farther and farther, in the cesspit of a farm house...

A figure grunted out from inside, panting heavily, but what he breathed was the pungent smell of excrement.

"Finally left! It's suffocating me, if I don't leave, I will drown in the cesspit!"

This person is exactly Sun Ben who fled here.

Being hunted down by Zhou Dory, he knew that he would not be able to escape with serious injuries, so he came up with this idea.

Only by hiding in the cesspit can no one find it. After all, who would stare at the cesspit if they have nothing to do?

Sure enough, after his experiment, it really had a miraculous effect, and the enemy did not find him.

Sun Ben exhausted all his strength and crawled out of the cesspit. Fortunately, the cesspit was not deep, otherwise he would really have died in it.

Lying outside the hut, smelling the strong stench, Sun Ben's pale face from blood loss became even paler.

Struggling again, he looked at his filthy wound.

Sun Ben reached out and picked up the maggots on the wound one by one and threw them away, so as not to be eaten by the maggots.

After doing all this, Sun Ben subconsciously sniffed the wound, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Made! It's all marinated!"

"I'm such a stinky man, I don't know if my wife will want me..."

Now Sun Ben looked at him with disgust... If his wife fell into the cesspit today, he might not be able to use it in the future.

Rest, must rest!

After resting for a few minutes, Sun Benqiang stood up and kept thinking about his way out.

"It's impossible to go back to Jiangdong. With the power of ten thousand people and Zhongmou in hand, it's not enough to take revenge on Zhou Yu!"

"If you want to take revenge, if you want to kill Zhou Yu, it seems that you can only... Sigh!"

Sun Ben looked in the direction of Cao Ying and couldn't help sighing.

Struggling to walk, but because of the serious injury, he fell heavily to the ground within a few steps and fell into a coma.

Before he fell into a coma, Sun Ben vaguely heard a few conversations, the speaker seemed to be a girl and a farmer...

"Father! The shit in our latrine has become fine, there are shit people here!"

"What? Dead man? You girl, I've taught you many times, straighten your tongue! Where is the dead man, take me to see it!"

"Oh dad! It's not a dead man, it's a shit man!"

When the farmer heard the sound, he came over and screamed in panic.

"Oh my god! He's really a shit man, and he's not angry anymore! Quickly, girl, bring me a rope and tie his veins tightly!"

"Daddy, why do you have to tighten the pulse door? Shouldn't we save him?"

the girl asked innocently.

The farmer's eyes were deep, and he glanced at the sky, with a bit of nostalgia on his face.

"Your father also studied medicine back then. The reason why I asked you to use a rope to suppress his pulse is because... I want to use the master's special skill of bringing the dead back to life!"

"This trick is called... a cuff!"

"Remember it for Dad, you will need it in the future!"

……

Cao Ying on the other side also cleared up the battlefield when it was dark.

A group of high-level officials sat on the sofa in Hefei Prefect's Mansion, constantly discussing the mess they saw today.

"Everyone! Jiangdong has been fighting for years, and the people are dying. There are too many refugees and refugees, and countless people have starved to death!"

"You say...how can we get them out of the sea of ​​suffering?"

Cao Cao asked with a sad face.

In order to find out the situation of the disaster here, he and Xiahou Zhe, Xunyu, Pangtong, Chengyu and others patrolled everywhere.

There are too many people who eat Guanyin soil to change children!

Even... Cao Cao also saw with his own eyes that some people ate Guanyin clay until they were alive.

Every time he thought of the scene of those people fighting for a piece of Guanyin land, he felt that the burden on his shoulders became extremely heavy!

Everyone was silent collectively, and looked at Xia Houyuan one after another.

After all, the other party is the prefect here, and he also has some responsibilities for what happened.

Xia Houyuan was watched by everyone, and he directly retreated tactically.

"Fuck! What are you looking at? I'm not corrupt!"

"I, Xia Houyuan, was also a man who was almost starved to death. It is impossible for me to be greedy for military rations! What's more... I have my brother Yuanyi to support me. Do I need to be greedy for those three melons and two dates?"

Back then, Xia Houyuan's family was not rich. In order to support Cao Cao, he raised troops, sold his property, and suffered from famine.

One of his sons starved to death, and he almost starved to death on the street.

He has experienced that kind of difficult life, so he has never withheld military rations and people's rations.

"Miaocai is worrying too much, I believe you! But I remember that the prefect Liu Fu last year counted the grain and said that Hefei had hoarded a lot of grain and grass."

"But why...don't it be used for disaster relief?"

Cao Cao patted Xia Houyuan on the shoulder, his eyes full of trust.

Xia Houyuan looked at Liu Fu, then at Cao Ying, sighed deeply, with a bitter expression on his face.

"There's nothing I can do! That bastard Zhou Yu has been fighting with me, and we only have so much rations."

"If you don't use the grain in the government's granary, the army will be destroyed long ago!"

"To tell you the truth, even if our army mobilized official rations this year, it still wouldn't be able to be used by the army. If it wasn't for Donghai Mizhu sending a large amount of food from time to time in his own name, the alliance would have broken down long ago!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao and others were dumbfounded for a while.

They all know that the consumption of food and materials in war is several times that of ordinary training. Although Cao Ying is developing rapidly, it lacks the accumulation of foundation.

As a result, this situation is normal now, after all, there are too many troops and the expenses are extremely huge.

In ancient times, if a large-scale battle was fought, it might cost the treasury a few years.

The reason why Cao Ying was able to fight again and again was due to the high-yield crops such as hybrid rice, corn, sweet potato and potato, as well as a large population.

"Mi Zhu has a heart! Come on, make Mi Zhu the governor of Xuzhou for me! Mi Fang is promoted to be the prefect of the East China Sea!"

Cao Cao immediately waved his hand and sent someone to Mi's house with the promotion documents and tokens.

People donate money and food not only for Xia Houzhe's face, but also for the power of his family.

Cao Cao must be satisfied with this, so that he can gain the support of other aristocratic families.

"Wait... Hefei has Leisiku, right? Why don't you use the funds to buy food? I gave Miaocai your authority!"

"Although it will consume a lot of money for disaster relief, it is all recorded in my Cao Cao's account. Anyway, I owe so much money, I am not afraid of more, and the debt is not burdensome."

Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan and Xun You suspiciously.

Xun You shook his head slightly, and stood up with his hands clasped.

"My lord! Our Cao Ying is an outsider to this Jiangdong. Those aristocratic families want us to leave, how can they sell us food?"

"In order to get food, General Xiahou and I have visited countless families. We even offered 400 yuan for a stone of corn, but they refused to sell it to us. Alas..."

The corn on the market is only 220 yuan a stone, and they almost paid twice the price.

But even so, no one sold to Cao Ying.

This made Xun You feel powerless when he had money but no place to spend it.

If it weren't for Mi Zhu's great influence in Xuzhou, and he could buy some grain from there, their Yangzhou army would have been in a hurry.

Hearing this, Cao Cao frowned and hesitated for a while, as if he had made a heavy decision.

"Everyone, I have a bold idea. I want to... take out a part of the soldiers' rations and use them for porridge!"

"This should temporarily alleviate the suffering of the people, what do you think?"

As soon as this remark came out, it attracted the veto of the generals!

"My lord! Don't do it! Don't use military rations to give away porridge!"

Chapter 909 Xia Houzhe Comes to Buy Grain

"Why not? Don't you feel sorry for seeing the people in dire straits?

Cao Cao slammed the table down, stood up sullenly, and scanned the civil and military generals under his command.

Xun You and Xun Yu looked at each other, stood up hand in hand, and both of them bowed their hands together.

"My lord! We don't have much rations this time, they are all from Jingzhou."

"And there are a lot of refugees in Jiangdong, so this porridge is definitely not a matter of a day or two, and they are bound to eat a lot of military rations."

"If the army rations cannot be supplied, how will our army fight? How can we pacify the Quartet? Although in the short term, using military rations to give out porridge can alleviate the suffering of the people, but in the long run, it is an act of killing chickens and taking eggs!"

Hearing what the two said, Pang Tong and Lu Su also stood up.

"My lord, the two dogs are right. If Jiangdong cannot be pacified because of food, then the war will definitely continue."

"In this way, there will be more displaced people! It's better to wipe out Jiangdong in one go, and let's talk about food distribution. What do you think?"

Xun Yu and Xun You stared at them angrily, cursing in their hearts: You are a dog if you ride a horse!Our Xun family Ssangyong has become a second dog with you?

Cao Cao frowned, and had to say that this group of people saw clearly, rather than chasing women's benevolence.
