Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 229 Breaking the Salt Road!Cao Cao for help!

"It's not good! My lord! Just now, the salt envoy sent news that Yuan Shao blocked the multi-party salt roads in our Bohai Sea area. In half a month at most, the entire barracks will run out of salt!"

Cheng Yu trotted all the way in a hurry, and broke into Cao Cao's mansion with a pale face!
Cao Cao was sitting in front of the desk at this moment, looking at the report in his hand, his brows were tightly furrowed, neither happy nor angry, and he didn't look up at him!

Seeing this, Cheng Yu was impatient, but still asked cautiously:
"My lord, you... haven't you heard? Yuan Shao blocked our salt road! This is the salt road! If there is no salt in the army, the soldiers will collapse within a few months. If Yuan Shao comes at that time Offenders, we have no power to fight back!"

At this moment, Cao Cao stopped flipping through the scrolls in his hands, raised his head and said coldly, "What are you panicking about? After blocking the salt road, it's time to open up new ones. Do you need to make such a fuss?"

Cheng Yu seemed very helpless, "My lord, Yuan Shao personally led the troops to occupy all the sea salt mines in the Bohai Sea area, and sent heavy troops to guard them. Unless they sneak in secretly, there is no way to transport salt!"

Cao Cao shook his hand and stared at Cheng Yu in disbelief!

He didn't expect Yuan Shao to do such a great job. The sea salt mines in the Bohai Sea area have always been his most important military salt roads, accounting for [-]% of his city's salt consumption!
This Yuan Shao cut it off as soon as he said it, and he didn't give him a way out at all!

In this way, wouldn't it force Cao Cao to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao in the near future!

However, as soon as this idea came up, it was immediately rejected by Cao Cao!

Fight Yuan Shao now!There is almost no chance of winning!There is no doubt that you will lose!
His Yuan Shao's 70 army is not just talk, the difference between himself and his force is three times, this gap is really too big!
Originally, with Cao Cao's character, he would never set up only one salt road, but the one in Xuzhou could not be transported after Liu Bei occupied it, and the only thing left was the Bohai Sea!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart sank slightly, he put down the scroll, stood up and asked Cheng Yu with his hands behind his back, "Is there any other way to transport salt to the south?"

Cheng Yu thought for a while, "Jingzhou in the south is now ruled by Liu Biao's son Liu Qi. The city gates are closed and there are no intersections with any other places. Moreover, there are not many salt mines. The only places where there are salt mines are left. Yizhou and Jiangdong are gone! One of these two places is too far away, and the other..."

Cheng Yu wanted to say that Jiang Dong had a grudge against Cao Cao, but he forcibly held back the words!
Cao Cao took a deep breath and shook his head slowly!
These two places are too unrealistic, and then he seemed to think of something, and asked:

"I remember the generation of Luoyang in Chang'an, there was a salt mine, can it be dispatched here?"

When Cheng Yu heard this, his face immediately became particularly ugly, "My lord... my lord, that is poisonous salt that cannot be refined. If a person eats it, his face will turn purple and faint, and he will die in severe cases!"

Cao Cao felt a sense of powerlessness that he had never felt before!
Is it really the only option left to go to war with Yuan Shao?

Even though Cao Cao didn't think Yuan Shao was better than himself in strategy, but under the absolute strength, any strategy seemed so weak!
Cheng Yu could only wait anxiously. After an unknown amount of time, he couldn't bear it any longer, "Master, why don't you... get ready for battle?"

However, Cao Cao shook his head, "No rush! Wait until I see someone!"

Cheng Yu was taken aback, "Who is it?"

Cao Cao smiled, "A hermaphrodite!"

……

Since the introduction of Quyuanli, Cao Suzhen has been busy like crazy!
Not only do they have to train the officials who are sent to the farmland to manage the people on how to use Quyuanli, but they also have to go to the workshops that produce Quyuanli to train every production officer who supervises the production on the quality inspection indicators of parts!

Originally, this was nothing, the main reason is that Cao Cao was equipped with more than a dozen production departments of different parts in order to prevent Qu Yuanli from spreading, and they were not in one place!
As a result, after Cao Su finished the quality inspection of this batch of goods, he had to run to the next place non-stop!

It took more than four months to completely train all officials in place!

Afterwards, the stall was put down, and she went back to the house to sleep for seven days and eight nights, but the three wives were so distressed to death!
They have been with Cao Su for so long, and they have never seen Cao Su so caring and dedicated to one thing, so the three women discussed and decided to take turns serving the bed, trying to make Cao Su happy physically and mentally, and relax!

never thought...

Xiao Cao is even more tired!
Fortunately, Mo Shuang would prepare dragon beard and oyster soup for him three meals a day. It didn't take long before Cao Su was fully revived!
That day Cao Su was lying on a hammock in the yard of his home, when Mo Shu rode the iron-eating beast in the yard and ran over smiling!
"Daddy Cao! Mother told you to eat!"

Since Mo Shuang followed Cao Su, Mo Shu also gradually changed his name, and now he has become Cao Daddy!

"okay!"

Cao Su jumped up and touched Mo Shu's head with a smile!

This girl is growing up and becoming more juicy now, and the baby iron-eating beast that I raised before has also grown up with Mo Shuang, reminding me that it has become no different from a brown bear.

But the good thing is that this iron-eating beast has an extremely docile temperament, and the most important thing is that the yard at home is big enough for these two little guys to run all over the place!
After Mo Shuang notified his servants to bring the food, Cao Su immediately picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth!
"Mmm! It's delicious! Madam's craftsmanship is getting better and better!"

As soon as the words were finished, Mo Shuang came up with the soup and blushed, and said a little shyly:
"That's what my husband taught me!"

Even though her status soared to the sky and became Cao Su's wife, Mo Shuang still insisted on cooking for Cao Su every day. According to her words, if her husband likes to eat, she likes to cook.

According to Cao Su's previous recipes, she has basically learned all of them. Even if she cooks a table full of Chinese people now, I am afraid that Mo Shuang will definitely give it a try!
Seeing her delicate appearance, Cao Su couldn't help kissing her with a playful smile, which made Mo Shuang very angry again!

"Qingyan is still there!"

Cao Su smiled, and seeing Zou Mei and Diao Chan also greeted him with a light smile, he picked up the bowl politely and said while eating:

"Ma'am, your control over saltiness is getting better and better now. I think when you first used salt, you poured the whole bag into it!"

When Mo Shuang saw him mentioning the past, her face turned red again, she lowered her head and said angrily:
"Husband, didn't you agree not to mention it? I don't know that the fine salt my husband brought out is so delicate, and it can be so salty if you put it in a little. If I don't control it well, wouldn't it be a waste of such precious salt?" thing?"

Cao Su smiled, "It's just a little salt, don't worry, there are plenty, inexhaustible!"

However, just as the words fell, there was an exclamation from behind:
"What did you say?"

The voice was surprised and rough, and the chopsticks in Cao Su's hands trembled in fright...
