Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

"My lord, according to the news from the spies, the Marquis of Jin ground locusts into powder, added them to the flour, made them into flour cakes, and distributed them to the soldiers and refugees in the army." Xi Ce said, even if it was him, after hearing this,

Bingzhou was also a little stunned after the incident of eating locusts. At first, he thought that Bingzhou purchased locusts so that the people could actively catch locusts to resist the locust disaster.

"Is it really edible?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

Xi Ce said: "According to the news from Xizuo, the soldiers in the Bingzhou Army did not resist. Maybe they didn't know that what they were eating were locusts. The Bingzhou Army had previously changed its meals from three meals a day to two, and it was also restored.

Normal." It must be said that he also admired Lu Bu's method very much. He even dared to suspend the payment of military pay to alleviate the disaster. If such a thing happened, would the Yanzhou army be so stable? This was also the reason why he was even more afraid of Bingzhou.

"A pound of locusts cost one coin, but a pound of rice costs five coins. The most indispensable thing in Yanzhou and Yuzhou now is locusts. Come and catch some locusts." Cao Cao seemed to have found a way to alleviate the crisis in Yanzhou. As for Yanzhou's crisis,

To say that eating locusts is too sensational, as long as they can survive, even grassroots people are scrambling to eat them. For Yanzhou, this is definitely a surprise.

And now the price of rice has soared. Rice that usually costs more than a hundred yuan per stone now costs three hundred yuan. Especially since the family secretly controls the price of rice, the price of food in Yanzhou and Yuzhou has risen sharply.

After ordering the soldiers in the army to test it, Cao Cao was overjoyed. Not only did the soldiers who ate the flour cakes mixed with locusts and flour not have any abnormalities, they even ate the flour cakes as if they were fighting for it.

The cake is more fragrant.

"Send the order to Wenruo, and buy the dried locusts at the price of two catties and one cent," Cao Cao said.

Xi Ce naturally knew how these noodles were made, but he also knew that Yanzhou was at a critical moment. If the current situation could not be alleviated, even if the immediate crisis was overcome, how much would the people of Yanzhou and Yuzhou be left with?

, In troubled times, what competes more is the number of common people. The greater the number of common people, the easier it is to feed the army, and even conscription can be easily completed.

Locusts can be eaten, which greatly eases the pressure on grain and grass for the Yanzhou army, and makes them more confident in conquering Shouchun.

"My lord, there are businessmen secretly buying locusts in Yanzhou and Yuzhou. It must be the handiwork of the Marquis of Jin. Do these people want to..." Cheng Yu stepped forward and whispered.

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, "The Bingzhou army is strong, and I have an appointment with Fengxian. There is a locust plague in Yanzhou, and there is Xuzhou outside. Jingzhou is eyeing it, so we should have good relations with Bingzhou." Even so, Cao Cao had a premonition that he and Bingzhou would have a good relationship.

There will definitely be a battle between Lu Bu and Lu Bu.

In Shouchun City, when Cao Cao led the army to the outside of the city, people's hearts were already in a state of confusion. Since his defeat at the hands of the allied forces that day, Yuan Shu had seldom interfered with the affairs of the army. Yuan Shu, who had just gotten up from the hospital bed, heard this.

After hearing the news of the arrival of Cao Cao's army, he fell on the bed again and sent envoys to Cao Cao's army with no results. On the contrary, even the envoys were killed for Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu secretly hated Cao Cao. If he hadn't occupied Yuzhou and cut off the Jingzhou army's retreat, there would be no Cao Cao today.

"Yan Situ, if you send Cao Jun as an envoy again, if Cao Jun is willing to retreat, I am willing to sell the method of making bed crossbows to Cao Jun." Yuan Shu said slowly, he didn't want to die either, he had beauties in the harem and the newly renovated palace.

, before I had time to enjoy it, he was the emperor of the Zhong family.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that Cao Jun is plotting against Shouchun. Now the people in the city are panicked and the morale of the army is floating." Yan Xiang said worriedly. In contrast, Yuan Shu's lack of energy is the direct contributor to the current situation in Shouchun. Yuan Shu has something in his hands.

The method of making the bed crossbow is as long as you order the craftsmen to build it. Within a few months, you can once again have an army that is not to be underestimated. The bed crossbow is used to defend the city. Not to mention more than 10,000 Cao Jun, there are 100,000 Cao Jun.

Even if they arrive, they can only return without success. In the face of such sharp weapons as bed crossbows, Cao Jun's siege methods can only be described as insignificant.

"Order the general to strengthen patrols in the city. I am the emperor of the Zhong family. If I am not afraid of Cao Jun, what are they afraid of?" Yuan Shu roared, and then kept coughing. He did not build a bed crossbow, but it was Yuan Shu's superficial appearance.

It's just rhetoric. Those craftsmen who disappeared in the city were also hidden by Yuan Shu. Now Shouchun still has hundreds of bed crossbows. This is his last trump card to defend Shouchun.

Yan Xiang cupped his hands and said: "Sage Wanwang regards the dragon body as the most important thing." In fact, he really wanted to persuade Yuan Shu to go to the court to plead guilty. If he was willing to dedicate the jade seal to Liu Biao, plus the method of making the bed crossbow, Liu Biao would definitely rectify Yuan Shu's name.

In this way, Shouchun's embarrassment can be resolved. For example, Hua Xiong, who was a general of the Zhong family, lived well after taking refuge with Liu Biao. He also knew Yuan Shu's character, so he could only secretly worry about what happened after his death.

No matter what happens, he is a minister of the Zhong family. In the eyes of the princes, he is a traitor.

"Go ahead, as long as Cao Jun can retreat, Yan Situ can take advantage of the opportunity." Yuan Shu waved his hand feebly.

The Zhong family sent an envoy to the Cao army again, and Yan Xiang was criticized by the officers and soldiers of the Cao army. This was also due to his status. If the Cao army was weak and sent someone to the Zhong family as an envoy, the civilian and military generals of the Zhong family would certainly ridicule him.

"Lord, I'm afraid Yan Xiang came here this time to make our army retreat." Xi Ce said with a smile.

Cao Cao stroked the beard under his chin, his expression full of confidence, "Yuan Shu falsely claims to be the emperor, but he is a traitor. I have been ordered to punish the traitor, and I will not stop fighting until Shouchun is broken."

"My lord, what if Yuan Shu is willing to give the method of making crossbows and the jade seal to our army?"

Cao Cao's expression froze slightly, "The method of making the bed crossbow must be obtained, and the jade seal must be dedicated to the Holy One."

As long as we have the method of making bed crossbows, why not be able to conquer Xuzhou? If we occupy Shouchun, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou at the same time, and then send troops and subordinates, no one in the world can stop him, and his name will be remembered.

Qing history.

"My lord, why don't you calm Yuan Shu's heart first?" Xi Ce said slowly.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Let the Zhong family's envoy come in."

After a conversation, Yan Xiang left Cao Jun in a hurry. Cao Cao's promise is very important to the current Shouchun. Although Shouchun is in chaos, the soldiers in the army are still loyal to Yuan Shu. As long as Yuan Shu can recover from defeat.

Coming out of the shadows, the Zhong family still has hope. As for Yuan Shu's desire to sell the bed crossbow to Cao Jun, it is completely unrealistic. But after getting the bed crossbow, will Cao Jun retreat? This is the most important thing.

If the two parties exchanged identities, he would not choose to retreat. After all, Shouchun was already at his fingertips.
