Chapter 673

"Repentance? This kind of emotion shouldn't appear on a counselor like me. Extra emotions will only affect my judgment!"

"It's good to achieve the goal. Is the process important? Can you deny my results now? Didn't I delay the military rations? Didn't I suppress the previous mutiny?"

"The only thing I regret is that I let go of the more than 100 soldiers who were in charge of the workshop! I should cut the grass and roots so that this matter will not be leaked!"

"Then... I can eat my dried human meat for a few more days! Hehehe!"

Li Rupi smiled, and his ugly voice like a night owl resounded through the military tent.

Being stared at by his counselor who doesn't have much force, even Zhang Xi, a first-class general, couldn't help shivering.

terror!

"Hmph! Li Ru, you are human flesh, how can you do it?"

Han Meng clenched his fists as if to hit, but was stopped by Yuan Shao.

Li Ru smiled.

"Why don't I do it? It's better to make some contributions than to bury it, and... when the news doesn't come out, don't you all enjoy it?"

Everyone was speechless for a while, not knowing how to reprimand Li Ru.

This kind of cruel and merciless person, no matter what he said, he would be so indifferent, and it would not cause any harm!

Helpless, Zhang Yun had no choice but to turn to Yuan Shao for help!

"My lord! Not killing Li Ru is not enough to calm the morale of the army!"

"It will be reconsidered at the end!"

"We also agree with Zhang Junyi's words! Li Ru...should be killed!"

Han Mengjian and Guo Tu all agreed.

However, Yuan Shao tapped on the table with ten fingers, his mind full of thoughts!

He knew how powerful Li Ru was, none of his advisors could match him.

So it is impossible to kill, but the military spirit must be calmed down!

The military tent was quiet, everyone focused on Yuan Shao, and the only sound in the entire military tent could be the sound of him beating on the table.

Compared to the glaring looks of the crowd, Li Ru showed no panic on his face, as stable as an old dog.

Because he knows that Yuan Shao is currently unavailable!Except for him, none of the advisers under his command can compete with Cao Ying.

A few minutes later, Yuan Shao opened his eyes and spoke lightly.

"Although Li Ru is at fault, but... he also has merit. He has slowed down our military rations and won follow-up opportunities for us!"

"But... the merit is not worth it! Today I will demote Li Ru, the military commander, to a rank of military marshal, so as to make an example of others!"

"In addition, let the order go on, forgive the mutiny today! But in the future, we must fight at the forefront!"

"Tell everyone, get ready and pack your things! Tomorrow...we will retreat from Chaoge to Yangwu and join Jiang Yiqu! Let's abandon Liyang, go eastward from Yangwu Guandu to capture Suanzao Fengqiu, and then take Chenliu!"

"Assessment, send someone to inform Xu You again, let the grain truck divert and go to Yangwu! Don't send it to Liyang!"

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and waved his hand to order, with sadness and anger in his eyes.

After spending so long, due to lack of food and grass, they failed to capture Li Yang, failed to establish a good battle line, and thus lost their retreat.

So Yangwu and Guandu became his last hope. If he succeeded in the battle, Cao Cao would be destroyed!

If he fails, Yuan Shao will also be buried here!

The generals were very disappointed. Demotion to a military post was not painful, and it was not a punishment at all.

But no matter how much they persuaded, Yuan Shao refused to cut off Li Ru's head.

Everyone had no choice but to disperse!

Zhang He was secretly happy, and shouted that Xu You had a unique vision, and Yuan Shao would definitely lose if he fought like this!

It seems... the action of defecting to the enemy has been accelerated!

After all, giving charcoal in the snow is more valuable than icing on the cake!

Outside the military tent, thousands of soldiers were looking forward to it. Feeling so many eyes staring at him, Zhang Yun felt guilty.

"General, what's the matter? What does my lord say?"

Zhang He sighed: "Everyone, Zhang is ashamed! I really can't persuade the lord to kill that Li Ru! The lord only demoted his position! Sigh!"

Everyone was very disappointed, and they all showed signs of despair, but none of them blamed Zhang Xi, their despair was directed at Yuan Shao.

"However, you don't have to worry, after a certain argument, the lord decided to forgive you!"

"You...don't have to worry about your lives! Li Ru's revenge...we will take revenge in the future! There will be a chance!"

"When the opportunity comes, you just listen to me! What I ask you to do, you must never question it! Remember!"

Zhang He bowed his hands to the generals and made a salute!

This made the soldiers a little flattered!

In the hierarchical feudal society, only lowly people saluted and apologized to the nobles.

How can a big man like a general apologize to a lowly person?Because these little soldiers are unworthy and unbearable!

It is a great honor for the nobles to look at them directly!

This action by Zhang Yun made the soldier who had a good impression of him even better!

"The general is serious! We are all your soldiers. Whatever you tell us to do, we will do!"

"That's right! If the general didn't stand up for us, I'm afraid we would all be cut off by the lord! But if the general has orders, we will die!"

Zhang He cupped his fists again and headed towards Zhu Ling and Qianzhao's room.

The two people cared about the common people, and were deeply hurt by Yuan Shao's behavior of blocking the people.

Now that the two of them have no real power and have been hidden away, isn't it a good time for Zhang He to form a clique?

Bring a few more brothers to join Cao Cao, and you won't be bullied in the past!

Pulling back the curtain of the military tent, Qianzhao and Zhu Ling sat in the military tent drinking and talking.

Seeing Zhang Yun's arrival, the two were obviously taken aback.

It was well known that Yuan Shao's colleagues pushed each other out, and they didn't think Zhang Yun's coming would do any good.

"Hey! What is General Zhang doing here? Is it to see our jokes?"

Zhang He smiled gently: "That's wrong! Zhang admires the two lords who dissuaded the people for the people before, and dare to trade their future for the peace of the people. I am sincerely convinced!"

"That's why, here's a toast to the two of you with a good wine! Don't be disgusted!"

With these words, the eyes of Zhu Ling and Zhao Zhao softened a lot in an instant.

"Haha! Thanks to General Zhang who thinks highly of the two of us, then... let's come!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun's eyes shone brightly, and he poured wine for the two of them attentively.

On the other side, Xu You, who delivered food and grass halfway, didn't know his good partner, and found a few more traitors for him!

That night, the temperature plummeted!

The dark clouds in the sky also began to turn into snowflakes one after another.

The white snow fluttered and fell to the ground lightly, like a feather, putting a wedding dress on the earth.

The first snow in 194 came later than before.

The snow fell more and more, and the thin white gauze on the ground gradually turned into thick snow!

Covered in silver, the whole earth turned white in just one night.

Looking around, the trees, roofs, and roads are covered with snow more than a foot deep!

Many soldiers who were sleeping in their dreams, because there was too much snow on the military tents, were smashed on the heads by the collapsed military tents in the middle of the night, and they showed a bewildered expression.

Many animals in the forest were also caught off guard by the snow, and how many were about to starve to death!

If you go into the deep mountains now, you will definitely pick up a lot of hungry and frozen game!

Only those who are prepared, such as squirrels, can survive this winter.

Similarly, Xia Houzhe of Cao Ying is also ready for a big battle!

"Son-in-law, your mouth... is so powerful! It will snow if you say it will snow!"

"That's right! Master dog thief, you must teach me Guo Jia how to read the weather later! I rely on you for my weather forecast!"

Standing at the gate of the city guard's mansion, Lu Bu Guo Jia and the others were wearing big padded jackets and looked sideways.

Xia Houzhe was wearing a down jacket, holding a fat tiger in his arms, his eyes were indifferent.

Fat Tiger, this warm baby is still very easy to use!

"Fuck you, if you have something to learn, I will be the master, if you have nothing to learn, you will be called a bastard! I don't have a treacherous and double-standard apprentice like you!"

"From today onwards, I will expel you from the teacher's school! If you want to learn how to pick up girls, you don't want to study hard, but you want to engage in pornography! It's a shame to me!"

Guo Jia spread his hands and did not refute.

As far as the current situation is concerned, his wife is still [-]% new, and there is no need to flirt with girls and take concubines.

So it's useless to learn!It's not too late to learn how to tease girls when he needs it.

"Learn to flirt, haven't you dealt with Qiao Ying and Qiao Qian yet? By the way, where are those two girls?"

Guo Jia smiled.

Xia Houzhe clutched his waist, his face showing embarrassment.

"It's not that I don't flirt, but...you know! I don't want to follow in your footsteps! Let's go and see!"

"Yesterday, Qiao Rui delivered the last batch of supplies, and brought them back to Dunqiu! You don't know how much they missed me before they left!"

Xia Houzhe secretly pretended to be coercive, but everyone curled their lips and did not expose it.

Just as everyone was watching the snow scene, Cao Cao walked over from behind.

His hands were still around his mouth rubbing each other, and he kept breathing to warm his hands.

From time to time, I took pictures of the snow on the beard.

"Brother! I found that I miss Chen Liu. There is a warm room there. It's a great thing to stay in and play chess and accompany your sister-in-law!"

"There's no fart here, it's freezing to death! In the morning, my little Cao was too cold to stand up!"

Cao Cao complained while walking.

With heavy snow like this, soldiers can't practice, and they can't fight battles!

There's really nothing to do except stay in the city and brag!

"By the way, is the artifact you mentioned ready? I'm going to catch Yuan Shao by surprise!"

Chapter 674 Sleigh

"An artifact? What artifact?"

Xia Houzhe was stunned.

Seeing him like this, Cao Cao stroked his forehead with his hands, feeling helpless!

"You stepped on the horse, and after you fell asleep, it was broken again? You promised to make me an artifact for marching in the snow!"

Xia Houzhe suddenly realized!

"Oh! I remember. Last night, I asked the craftsmen and soldiers to work overtime. They should have done a lot better. Let's go and see!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yu raised his middle finger, as if pointing.

"I, Cheng, don't like the behavior of capitalists like you, Yuanyi! You keep making low-class comrades work overtime for free! Desperately exploiting the surplus value of our migrant workers!"

"This is slow killing, do you understand? It's not necessary!"

Cheng Yu was serious and said earnestly.
