It has been more than three days since Cao Cao ordered the assembly of troops!
On the third day, Cao Cao looked at the statistical materials reported by the various ministers, his face was sometimes happy and sometimes worried!
After a while, he put down the military newspaper in his hand, looked up at the soldiers sitting there, and asked coldly:
"Isn't this king already ordered to stockpile grain and train elite soldiers, why is there only so little grain available so far?"
After everyone listened, you looked at me and you, but they didn't dare to answer!
All of these people here are civil and military officials, and they are all important officials!
Now that there is a problem with food and wages, not only one family is definitely responsible, so no one dares to touch Cao Cao's brow!
Cao Cao looked around the crowd with sharp eyes, and finally fell on Cao Pi!
"Sir!"
When Cao Pi heard Cao Cao calling him, he suddenly shivered, stood up and cupped his hands and said:
"Father... Father King!"
Cao Cao looked at him coldly, and said silently:
"Your Majesty, before I handed over the management of the country's grain to you, why do you only have such a small amount of grain now, and you give me an explanation?"
Cao Pi immediately knelt on the ground after hearing this, and said with a panicked expression:
"Father, this year's ice disaster, more than [-]% of the crops have died in the past few months, and the whole country is tightening their pockets to live. Really... there is really no room for hoarding food!"
"nonsense!"
Cao Cao ignored his excuses and scolded:
"It's all right if you say that the harvest of wheat and chestnuts is not good. Could it be that such a high yield of sweet potatoes can't be hoarded? If you use these false words to fool me, I will definitely not take it lightly!"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Pi only felt his mind buzzing, and his face was extremely pale, with no trace of blood in sight!
But in front of all civil and military officials, he still calmed down and said:
"Father, it is a fact that the harvest is not good. The child dare not lie to the father, but the total grain production this year has not been reported, so the actual amount of grain is much more than what the father has seen now!"
Cao Cao's face softened a little after hearing this, but his tone was still severe!
"Didn't the king order that everything should be ready within three days? Why didn't you do it?"
Cao Pi hurriedly said respectfully:
"Reporting to my father, the situation was too hasty this time, my son is really... really powerless!"
Listening to Cao Pi's explanation, Cao Cao stared at him closely, making him hairy!
The hall fell silent instantly, and no one dared to take a big breath!
In a moment!
Cao Cao withdrew his gaze and said calmly:
"Forget it, the situation is urgent this time, so let's not hold you accountable, but after I set off on the expedition, within half a month, I must see the food, son, I will entrust you with full responsibility for this matter, don't let me disappointment!"
Hearing this, Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief, and said quickly:
"Thank you, Father!"
Having said that, Cao Pi panicked a lot at this time!
Because he has no food at all, the so-called incomplete statistics are nothing more than an excuse for expediency!
Cao Pi panicked!
Really panic!
He didn't know what the consequences would be. He only knew that once his father found out that he had embezzled the food for himself, let alone abolishing the position of the son, he might have to behead himself on the spot to show the public!
So he was determined not to let Cao Cao know that they had no food at all!
Cao Cao, who was suspicious on weekdays, saw Cao Pi's so determined appearance, so he didn't say anything more!
This time, it is a great opportunity to wipe out Liu Bei!
No matter what, he will not let it go!
Then he stood up slowly, pulled out his saber with a bang, his gaze was like a blade, looked around everyone present and said coldly:
"Everyone! This time, it is a god-sent opportunity! Liu Bei was defeated in Hanzhong, and now there is no way out!"
"For so many years, this Liu Bei has been targeting me and the court everywhere, chanting the slogan of supporting justice, and doing everything he can to rebel. How can he be tolerated?!"
Speaking of this, Cao Cao is already sonorous and forceful, extremely angry!
Immediately mobilized the passion of all the civil and military courtiers present!
"Heaven cannot tolerate it!"
"Heaven cannot tolerate it!"
"Correct!"
Cao Cao slapped his hand on the ground, "Liu Bei is a man of heaven, especially when he targets my virtuous brother. Let's not talk about how my virtuous brother is in Hanzhong. These years, without him, the world will die how many people!"
"Just such a person, Liu Bei will go to bully and bully him. It is simply devoid of conscience. If he is not destroyed, how can there be justice? How can the hearts of the people in the world be safe?!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison!
"Tomorrow morning! Let's go!"
There was a bang, and the sword in Cao Cao's hand was inserted into the ground, making a series of shaking sounds...
……
the other side!
After Liu Bei was repelled by Cao Su, he set up a camp in a county town hundreds of miles away!
In the lobby, almost everyone looked sad, dull, and even looked a little embarrassed!
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Bei asked aloud:
"Kong Ming, how successful are the scattered troops coming back?"
Zhuge Liang quickly replied:
"My lord, it's almost [-]% back!"
Liu Bei glanced at him gratefully, and sighed deeply, "Kong Ming, thank you so much this time, if you hadn't borrowed the wind from the sky this time, my 50 troops would have melted into nothingness in this instant. Make nothing for a while!"
After hearing this, all the soldiers fell silent, looking a little depressed!
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help persuading:
"My lord, don't underestimate yourself. No one would have thought that Cao Su could develop such a terrifying combat power in Hanzhong these years. We just suffered from lack of intelligence. Before the next battle, we will definitely be able to get along and deal with it!"
Hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes flashed with complex emotions, and his fists gradually clenched, as if he was extremely afraid of the battles of the previous few days!
"This Cao Shuren is really an unsurpassable enemy in the world. Do you know what these things he uses?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head after hearing this, "Sorry my lord, I... have never seen these things before. The Hongyi cannon is extremely lethal, powerful, and has an extremely long range. I have studied it for several days recently and consulted countless information, but still don’t know how it was made!”
"Furthermore, in the Shenji Camp, everyone holds a firecracker, and the things they ride are neither war horses nor wild beasts. They seem to be man-made products. I don't know where the power comes from!"
Hearing Zhuge Liang's analysis, Liu Bei felt an unprecedented sense of frustration!
I have already lost the battle, and I don't know what was defeated by anything until now!
It is simply a miracle in the world!
Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"Cao Su, you are truly a man of God..."
On the third day, Cao Cao looked at the statistical materials reported by the various ministers, his face was sometimes happy and sometimes worried!
