Chapter 127 Potatoes solve the food crisis
After their tough suppression at the beginning, more and more people came forward to provoke trouble, which made them miserable.
But every time I went to Cao Cao to ask for solutions, Cao Cao avoided him.
Uneasy is spreading rapidly throughout Cao's camp.
Guo Jia said: "Lord, things have reached an urgent point, and I'm afraid I can't suppress them anymore."
"I have my own plans in my heart, you don't need to worry too much!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.
Three days later, Cao Cao called the chief grain transporter to his tent.
Cao Cao, who had a cold face, looked at the grain transport chief kneeling in front of him with his hands on his back.
Cao Cao, who was kind-faced, smiled at the grain transport chief kneeling on the ground.
"The time is very dangerous now. I want to lend you something to help us overcome the difficulties!"
Although the grain transport chief clerk didn't know what Cao Cao was going to borrow, it was definitely not a good thing to look at his appearance.
"Prime Minister, I don't have anything to do, I'm afraid I can't help..."
Cao Cao waved his hands repeatedly after hearing this, "You must be able to help with this matter, and I will have a heavy reward after the matter is completed."
The grain transport chief clerk dared not expect any reward, but only hoped to escape, which was thankful.
"I wonder what the Prime Minister wants to lend me?"
Cao Cao laughed and said, "I want to borrow your head on your neck to calm down the military turmoil that aroused, but I can only borrow and not repay such things. I hope you will forgive me."
The grain transport chief clerk was so scared that his face looked like a dirt, he hurriedly shook his head and knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Please be kind to the Prime Minister. I still have children who have not grown up and my mother needs support. If I die, then they will have no way to live, Prime Minister."
"After you die, your mother will be my mother. I will support you well, and I will treat your wife and children more well."
"Besides, think about your child following you, where can you have a future with me, so don't worry about all this!"
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he waved his hand and ignored it. He knelt on the ground and still begged for mercy to the grain transporter.
At this time, Xu Chu, the extremely strong muscular man behind Cao Cao, deleted his thick arms.
He lifted the man with a scathing eyes in front of him.
The chief grain transporter wanted to continue begging for mercy, but after Xu Chu took him out, he immediately beheaded and showed it to the public.
"Brothers are all because of this thief who has corrupted and abused the law and embezzled everyone's military rations, which is why they are not full."
"Now this thief has been beheaded by me. The Prime Minister ordered the food she hid and for all brothers to eat for three days and three nights!"
Xu Chu waved his hand and smiled heartily.
The soldiers all cheered and shouted long live the Prime Minister!
The soldiers behind Xu Chu brought countless wine and meat, and the soldiers rushed up cheering.
What a voracious meal.
Guo Jia felt a little mixed in his heart when he saw this situation.
He said: "Prime Minister, even if you temporarily stop this, what will happen tomorrow?"
Cao Cao's brows also frowned. If he knew what he could do in the future, why would he have to do this?
"Maybe there is only one person who can solve the current dilemma." Guo Jia said.
"Who?" Cao Cao asked anxiously.
"From Xuzhou, Cao Peng..." Guo Jia said this name, and first of all, he felt very sad.
Some unpleasant things happened before, which led Cao Peng to leave the front line and go to Xuzhou to guard the town.
Now that several months have passed, everyone can only put their hope of solving the problem on him.
"Why……"
"It's not the time to pay attention to face now. I'll let Dian Wei invite him tomorrow!"
Cao Cao shook his head with a wry smile. In the end, he really begged his nephew.
At this moment, the soldiers outside the camp hurriedly pushed open the door.
"Prime Minister, General Cao Peng led his troops and brought a lot of food!"
This news is like a bolt from the blue.
"What?!" Cao Cao stood up in surprise.
Cao Cao, who had his feet curled up on the bed, had no time to wear his shoes after getting off the ground, so he came out of the tent barefoot.
I saw Cao Peng wearing golden armor, with a red rabbit horse like a fire under his crotch, and a strange weapon in his hand.
Behind Cao Peng was an arrogant red-faced man with a phoenix-like eyes, holding a Green Dragon Crane Moon Sword, with an extraordinary temperament, I am Guan Yunchang.
"Anmin, you are finally back!"
Cao Cao came to Cao Peng barefoot and pressed Cao Peng's shoulder firmly with his hands.
Cao Peng couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw Cao Cao's appearance.
"Uncle, you see you came out without even wearing shoes."
"Haha, did I forget it when I heard you come back?"
Cao Cao and him held hands and asked, "I heard that you brought you this time, how much food is there? How long is it enough for us to use?"
When Cao Peng heard Cao Cao's tone so urgently, he guessed that he thought it was right, Cao Cao was about to run out of food.
Xun Yu, who was far away in Xudu, gave Cao Cao spiritual support, but there was no actual food and supplies transported him.
Cao Peng smiled and said, "Uncle, the food I brought this time is enough for us to last a whole month!"
After hearing Cao Peng's words, Cao Cao was shocked again. He didn't believe that he could claim that the entire army could support a month. How much would it take?
This place in Xuzhou has experienced war and is not yet in the autumn harvest season, so how could it be that there is so much food?
Guo Jia also frowned and said, "Anmin, there is no joke in the army, don't swear!"
Cao Peng smiled. He didn't understand why these people just didn't believe what he said.
"It seems that it's not reliable to say it, so you might as well follow me to take a look!"
Cao Peng led Cao Cao and Guo Jia toward his food and grass troops.
Looking at his complacent look, Guo Jia muttered in his heart, what's going on?
Could it be that this kid really brought food?
When he saw Cao Peng's grain transport teams endlessly, Cao Cao was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking.
He couldn't wait to come to a carriage and lifted the cover from the front.
However, what he thought could be seen was that Bai Huahua's food did not appear, and what he saw was yellow circles.
"Anmin, what is this?"
Seeing that Cao Cao's face turned from surprise to disappointment, he turned to a bit of anger that was being played with.
Cao Peng smiled and said, "Uncle, don't underestimate this kind of food. It is called potatoes. I accidentally discovered it in Xuzhou. It can mature three times a year, and it can be mass-produced when planted. It can be eaten by people and can withstand hunger."
Not to mention that Cao Cao didn't believe it, even Guo Jia obviously didn't believe it.
Guo Jia reached out to take a potato, opened his mouth and took a bite, and felt a little dark and vomited out.
