Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!
Chapter 749 Insufficient food and grass
Zhuge Liang said: "My lord, although our army does not have enough food and grass, Cao's army does not have enough food and grass.
If this is the case, the general will decide to immediately capture a small city as a stronghold, burn Cao Cao's granary outside the city, and send a large number of soldiers to snatch grain and grass. "
"Good! This is a good idea!" Liu Bei praised.
Zhuge Liang then directly led his men into action, catching Cao Cao off guard.
"No, the food and grass were attacked!"
Cao Jun's sentry suddenly changed his face when he saw this, and hurried to inform his leader.
Soon, General Cao Jun came to the granary. Looking at the raging fire in front of him, he said with a livid face: "Let's go back to the camp immediately and tell the prime minister that the grain and grass have been burned!"
"Yes!" Several sentries hurriedly returned to the camp.
"Report!" The sentry knelt down beside Cao Cao's carriage and shouted: "Report, my lord, it's not good, our army's food and grass have been burned!"
"What? The food and grass were burned?" Cao Cao said in surprise.
"Quick, go back immediately!" Cao Cao urged the groom to drive his horse back to the camp.
Half an hour later, Cao Cao finally arrived at the camp. Looking at the burned-out granary, Cao Cao was furious.
"Who did this?" Cao Cao yelled angrily.
All the generals knelt on the ground, and no one dared to say a word.
"My Lord, he is a remnant of the Han Dynasty!" A military general stood up and said.
Cao Cao glared at the general: "Which unit are you commander in chief? Do you have any evidence?"
"The last general is Chen Gong!" the general said proudly.
After Cao Cao heard the general's name, his expression softened a lot and asked, "Do you have evidence to prove that it was the remnants of the Liu family who did it?"
"The general already has the evidence!" Chen Gong said with a smile.
Cao Cao asked doubtfully: "Oh?"
"My lord, do you know that the general led his soldiers to the county seat of Yingchuan County last night, but encountered a scout sent by Liu Bei."
"Huh, if that's the case, then I'll find him personally!" Cao Cao said through gritted teeth.
Cao Cao was not only angry that the food and grass were burned, but also angry that Liu Bei was so bold that he dared to kill himself, so he made up his mind to deal with Liu Qi.
"Pass the Prime Minister's order and advance at full speed!" Cao Cao shouted.
As soon as Cao Cao's order was given, Cao Jun's soldiers immediately quickened their pace and ran towards Yingchuan County.
At the same time, the grain and grass in Yingchuan County were burned, and this incident spread throughout Xuzhou.
After hearing this, the princes from all over the world were filled with emotion.
But they did not choose to act rashly, but quietly waited for the situation to develop further.
Cao Ang strolled on the streets of Xudu. He did not bring a guard this time, but leisurely enjoyed the rare tranquility in troubled times.
Order has been restored in Xuduli, and the nobles and powerful men who were once domineering have been dealt a blow.
Xu Du now makes Cao Ang feel very comfortable.
The prosperity of Xudu is much better than before. There are many shops on the streets and an endless stream of vendors.
All kinds of hawking sounds came and went, as if the vitality of the whole city had returned to its original state.
"Brother!" A young man ran over from a distance.
Cao Ang looked up and saw a young man standing in front of him panting.
The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a thin build and a fair face. He was dressed simply and held a wooden stick in his hand. He looked frail.
But those eyes shined extremely brightly, like the brightest stars in the night sky.
"Why did you run here? What if you fall?" Cao Ang laughed and cursed.
The young man scratched his head and said stupidly: "I heard someone mentioned that my eldest brother might come back here." He pointed to the surrounding streets, "Then I hurried over."
Cao Ang reached out and rubbed his head, "You're so stupid."
He patted the dust on his body, then took the other person's arm and walked outside, "Let's go, let's find an inn to eat.
By the way, let me ask you about the current situation. Thank you for your hard work during this period. "
The boy nodded.
Although it is getting late, there are still an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, and the sound of horse hooves can be heard in my ears.
The young man suddenly thought of something and stopped.
"What's the matter?" Cao Ang turned around and asked.
The young man hesitated for a moment: "Actually, I know a few things."
"Oh? Come on, tell me!" Cao Ang eagerly waited for the young man to continue.
The young man took a deep breath: "In recent days, many strange people have suddenly appeared in the city.
I found that they had contacted the army in the city, but what they did specifically is not clear yet. "
"Weird person?" Cao Ang frowned.
He did feel that there were many strangers in the city these days, but those people were very low-key and did not attract anyone's attention.
"Brother, are these people traitors?"
When Cao Ang heard this, his mind was shaken, and then he snorted coldly and said: "If they are really traitors, I will make them pay a heavy price."
The young man looked at Cao Ang in surprise: "Brother, I know you are powerful, but these people are certainly not simple, so be careful!"
"Don't worry, they're just a bunch of rabble, they can't compare with me." Cao Ang said arrogantly.
Cao Ang naturally knew what the young man was worried about, but in his eyes, those so-called rebels were just clowns and there was no need to worry about them at all.
"Brother, there is a restaurant over there, why don't I treat you to a drink." The young man suggested.
"Haha, I happen to be hungry."
After drinking and eating, Cao Ang left with an excuse. He was going to visit the rumored celebrity Tao Qian. The two also made an appointment to meet at a restaurant.
As soon as he entered the threshold of the restaurant, he was greeted by a chubby waiter with a cheerful smile on his face, full of enthusiasm.
"Are you Master Cao? Tao Shijun has been waiting in the elegant room upstairs for a long time!" said the waiter.
"Thank you." Cao Ang said with a smile.
The waiter led Cao Ang towards the interior of the restaurant, then came to the door on the far right side of the third floor and knocked on the door: "Master Tao, Mr. Cao has arrived."
The door opened a gap, revealing Tao Qian's plump body: "Well, you go down and prepare tea first."
The waiter bowed and stepped back.
Cao Ang walked in. Tao Qian was sitting on a chair, staring at Cao Ang.
"Mr. Cao, I have admired you for a long time." Tao Qian cupped his hands with a smile on his face.
He had long heard that there was a young hero in Xu You who was not only brave in martial arts, but also talented in literature. When he saw it with his own eyes today, it was indeed extraordinary.
Cao Ang cupped his fists and said, "Shijun Tao."
Tao Qian greeted: "Master Cao, please sit down."
Cao Ang sat down.
Tao Qian looked at Cao Ang with a smile and asked, "Master Cao, I heard that your feats in Xudu are really admirable."
"No, no, I'm just trying my best." Cao Ang said modestly. (End of chapter)
