Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 571

Seeing the meat, everyone's hearts jumped, and they looked at Li Ru expectantly.

"Cong Liang, this box...is full of meat?"

Li Ru nodded with a flat face, and his emotions could not be seen at all from his expression.

"That's right! My lord, just open the box!"

According to Yuan Shao's words, he opened the buckle on the top of the box, and there was a box full of processed jerky inside!

"Meat? Damn! It's all meat!"

"Then this is a warehouse full of dried meat? At least hundreds of thousands of catties, right?"

"If it is mixed with the military rations, it will definitely be able to endure a lot of hunger! After five or six more days, I'm afraid it will be all right!"

Everyone looked at each other with ecstasy!

After a few more days, Xu You's logistical support will be almost ready.

With military rations, we can fight for another period of time!

It is possible that victory lies in this reversal!

Yuan Shao rushed forward, grabbed the jerky with his hands and looked at it.

"The meat is soft and has not been completely dried. It looks like it has just been made, right?"

Li Ru nodded without vetoing.

"That's right! They are all jerky that have just been made recently, and my subordinates rushed to work all night, so some of them haven't been completely dried!"

"But it's enough for eating..."

Yuan Shao patted Li Ru heavily on the shoulder, his expression was very happy!

The admiration and gratification in his eyes were undisguised!

Even Guo Tu, the judge and assistant, felt a little admiration.

"Congliang! Are you busy with this these days? Just to get us rations?"

"By the way, where did your meat... come from? Why did you do so much, and we didn't hear any news?"

Li Ru put his hands behind his back and didn't reply for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

"My lord, if the subordinates do it with great fanfare, after the soldiers know that there is so much meat, can they survive for so long?"

Yuan Shao nodded thoughtfully.

"It's true! But fortunately, there is Congliang, who can advise me! Otherwise, we may not be able to overcome this difficulty!"

After speaking, Yuan Shao grabbed a piece of jerky and chewed it.

After eating it in his mouth, Yuan Shao gave a thumbs up!

"Oh! This meat is good! Life in the army is hard, even I haven't tasted meat for a long time, and I just satiated my craving today!"

With Yuan Shao at the beginning, everyone picked up the jerky and tasted it.

"Hey? Don't say it, this meat is really tender!"

"That's right! It's so fresh, even without salt, it still tastes a little salty!"

"Delicious! Fragrant! Mr. Li, what kind of meat is this? Why have I never eaten it before?"

Li Ru waved his hand, with a little complicated eyes.

"Everyone can rest assured that these meats are all... hunted near Luchang Mountain. They are wild game! So the quality of the meat is different from what you usually eat!"

Everyone suddenly realized!

"So it's wild game! No wonder it's delicious, it's a bit like pork, and it's also a bit like chicken! Sir, is this pheasant mixed with wild boar?"

"Huh? Mr. Li, Zhang Junyi, why don't you two eat?"

Li Ru shook his head slightly, rejecting Han Meng's words.

"I'm learning Buddhism and chanting scriptures recently. I don't like to eat meat. I usually only eat vegetarian food! Eat it!"

"Just take the meat out after eating, I'm going to burn this dried meat workshop..."

Zhang He also shook his head slowly.

"I have bad teeth, and dried meat is stuffed between my teeth! It's better to eat bread with green onions!"

After speaking, he took out a hard cake and ate it with relish.

It's not that he doesn't like meat, this rhetoric is just a lie!

In fact...he is afraid of Li Ru, a vicious person!

The other party was so decisive when they got rid of Xu You, who knows if he secretly poisoned the meat?

Otherwise why wouldn't he eat it himself?

In line with the principle of prudent and life-saving, Zhang Xi chose to make the same decision as Li Ru, no matter how hungry he was, he would never eat his food!

In case of poison, at least there is a living person to collect the corpses of this group of people.

Li Ru turned his head, glanced at Zhang He slightly, and didn't say much.

On the contrary, Han Meng and the others took a big mouthful and laughed vaguely.

"What you said makes sense. This jerky is indeed a bit choking. I'll take a few pieces in my pocket and forget about it. I'll eat it with water when I turn back!"

"By the way, Mr. Li, why did you burn this workshop? Wouldn't it be better to continue hunting and making jerky?"

Li Ru closed his eyes and said neither salty nor bland.

"The prey in Luchang Mountain is gone, so there is no need for him to exist! Everyone, send troops to pull the jerky out!"

After speaking, Li Ru left the workshop with his hands behind his back.

Han Meng curled his lips, for the meat pie's sake, he didn't bother with him.

They all knew Li Ru's arrogance, he was so proud of his talent, he looked like an idiot to anyone anyway!

A group of people sent troops overnight to bring out the dried meat, and the workshop was burned down by Li Ru!

The next day, Yuan Shao, who had dried meat, immediately added meat to the soldiers' dry rations!

This ushered in a sound of support and joy, and the lieutenant officers and soldiers shouted well to Li Congliang and Yuan Shao.

For this reason, Yuan Shao also rewarded Li Ru with fifty gold!

During breakfast, everyone was eating meat and porridge, all showing joy.

Only Li Ru, Zhang Yun, and the hundreds of soldiers who were guarding the workshop would not eat meat when they were killed.

Some soldiers asked suspiciously.

"Brother, why don't you eat? Why are you talking about it all day? You look very lethargic!"

The person who was asked answered in a daze.

"Ah? Oh! You eat, we... We've been too tired recently, we don't have a good appetite!"

"Hey! I won't be polite to that brother, I'll eat the share in your hand too! When you turn back to fight, I'll block the knife for you!"

Seeing that the military ration crisis was temporarily lifted, Li Ru returned to the military account and discussed countermeasures with Yuan Shao and others.

The previous method of carrying people to defend against arrows no longer works.

Because Cao Cao and others also dug the moat and built the suspension bridge overnight in Liyang!

Those tens of thousands of people plus tens of thousands of people worked together, and the speed was too fast!

In just one night, the moat was dug and the water of the Yellow River was attracted!

……

Liyang Cao Ying.

Cao Cao stood proudly on the tower, holding a large gold trophy in his hand!

This trophy weighs about 300 taels of gold!There are a few large characters engraved on it!

'Dancing God Trophy of Honor'!

The trophy was issued by Xia Houzhe, and it was also taken out of his pocket!

In his words, the ticket price of [-] gold is worth it to see such an outrageous dance party!

"Haha! Old Dian Lao Lu, are you convinced yet? The God of Dance belongs to me, Michael Jack Cao! You are too weak!"

"Peerless and Peerless, so what? In terms of dancing, my song of grabbing a few hands is more contagious than the two of you!"

Looking at the triumphant Cao Cao, Dian Wei Lu Bu tilted his head and snorted coldly.

"If Old Man Cheng and Xi Zhi hadn't flattered you, how could you have danced better than the two of us? Wait until the next dance meeting, and the two of us will definitely finish you off!"

Cao Cao held up the trophy, showing off for a while!

"What will happen in the future, no one can say for sure! At least... I, Cao Cao, am the God of Dance this time!"

"Oh, by the way, the moat has been dug now. I'm not afraid that Yuan Shao will attack the city again. Shouldn't we... have a discussion about how to fight back?"

"I wasted so much fire oil yesterday, I can't take this breath!"

Chapter 666 Cheng Yu's counterattack, Li Ru eats people

Hearing Cao Cao's question, Xia Houzhe, Lv Budian, King Wei Yue and others immediately walked down the tower.

I don't even want to talk to him!

"To discuss a strategy to defeat the enemy, why don't you go to the civil servants, what's the use of looking for us bastards?"

"That's right! Yuan Yi, let's have a barbecue! There were too many people yesterday, so I couldn't even have a barbecue with you!"

"Barbecue? I want to eat too. I was only dancing yesterday, so I don't have to eat! I want four skewers of lamb kidney..."

The figures of several people gradually drifted away, leaving only Cao Cao twitching at the corner of his mouth on the city wall.

"Made! This group of subordinates are too disrespectful to my lord! In addition to paddling, paddling! Damn it!"

"Hey! Wait for me, I want to eat too! Count me in! I want eight strings of kidneys!"

Cao Cao cursed angrily, and quickly followed the team on his short legs.

In the courtyard of the Liyang Prefect's Mansion, everyone gathered together.

Wang Yue, the sword sage, held Xia Houzhe's green sword, clanging and clanging the sheep's kidneys, and the depth of each sword was extremely even!

It can be seen that his swordsmanship is superb!

Today, he was voted by everyone to be the cook, in charge of barbecue!

A sword master who doesn't want to be a cook is not a good general!

And Xia Houzhe was sitting on the ponytail, feeding his fat tiger, throwing it into the sky for a few laps.

Cao Cao chatted with all the civil and military generals around the fire, discussing how to break through Yuan Shao's Tucheng!

"Brothers, what's the best strategy? I received a battle report saying that Yuan Shao got a lot of meat last night! It actually eased the military food crisis!"

"If he waits for a few days, I'm afraid that the follow-up food and grass will be supplied again!"

Hearing this, Le Jin and the others were silent, but Cheng Yu beside him sighed.

"My lord, it is not difficult to seize the land of Jizhou. Zang Ba Yujin Tianyu has already started to attack Jizhou City!"

"Yuan Shao only left 2 people to guard Jizhou with his sons. I think it will take less than half a month for the city of Jizhou to be destroyed!"

"But... it is much more difficult to defeat Yuan Shao's main force. You must kill this damn Tucheng first!"

Listening to Cheng Yu's analysis, Cao Cao frowned!

"His ruined city is as annoying as bastard!"

"Besides, Yuan Shao has a lot of soldiers and doesn't go out of the city to fight. Our tigers and leopards riding steam cars are useless! Only catapults can smash them!"

"But the catapult broke a little during the day, and at night he sent troops to repair it! Alas! It's so difficult!"

Yuan Shao has a lot of troops, comparable to Cao Cao, and they are all elite!

But after the opponent suffered a loss, he just didn't fight, and just defended like a turtle!
