In early July, the west wind suddenly picked up.

As the howling west wind between heaven and earth begins to sweep across the entire Han Dynasty, autumn has arrived.

Xuzhou, inside Dongping City.

Cao Cao was holding the army rations that had been delivered by the supply camp not long ago, and he felt a little listless for a long time.

"Zhicai, is this really edible?"

Military rations made from locusts!

That guy Fengyi also came up with this thing.

Knowing that the pancake in his hand was made from locusts, Cao Cao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

On the side, Xi Zhicai took a sip of water in his mouth after thinking for a long time.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Xi Zhicai opening his mouth and taking a bite of the pancake.

Although there was some resistance in my heart, who would have thought that this was my younger brother who was escorted here?

No matter what, it is absolutely impossible for Fengyi to harm him!

Since my younger brother said this food is edible, he has even made it into pancakes.

Xi Zhicai didn’t hesitate too much.

With one bite.

The taste of the bread filled the entire mouth in an instant, and the taste that was difficult to swallow did not appear.

Along with the wine, the noodles quickly melted in the mouth.

It tastes a bit like chicken.

Xi Zhicai was a little dazed, then he opened his mouth and took another bite. It was not an illusion!

It tastes really good!

It’s really edible!

Seeing that Xi Zhi had already eaten the entire noodle cake in his mouth in just two or three bites, Cao Cao's eyes widened and he was lost in thought.

"Zhicai, how does it taste?"

The Xi Zhicai look in front of me doesn’t seem like he’s just pretending, this pancake really seems to be edible!

"Lord, it tastes good, like chicken!"

"Chicken?"

How can migratory locusts be compared with chicken?

It’s not like Cao Cao has never eaten chicken. You’re just trying to impress your younger brother, so there’s no need to do this, right?

Cao Cao didn't believe it, but as Xi Zhicai took the lead in trying it, Cao Ren on the other side also opened his mouth and took a bite.

Followed by the second bite and the third bite.

Seeing that there was no difference in the expression on Cao Ren's face, Cao Cao subconsciously looked at him.

"Brother, it's really like chicken!"

“It melts in your mouth and tastes good!”

Cao Ren also said it was like chicken, and Cao Cao couldn't help it anymore.

Nowadays, the entire military camp is filled with military rations made from locusts as Xi Yu said, and Cao Cao has nothing to do.

After opening his mouth and taking a bite, his whole face became dull.

The two people in front of him didn’t lie to him!

It’s really not much different from chicken, but chewier!

"Hiss!"

"It's weird, it's weird!"

Cao Cao was a little unbelievable. Is this really made by Migratory Locust?

Didn’t Fengyi make it with chicken and then deliberately said it was made with migratory locust?

However, the noodles in the entire military camp are made from locusts. If they were really replaced with chicken, how could they withstand such consumption?

Cao Cao already believed it in his heart!

"Fengyi is really a great talent. I am lucky to have Fengyi!"

Cao Cao couldn't help but grin. After taking a bite of the noodles, he looked at Xi Zhi and then began to discuss the situation in Xuzhou.

"Zhicai, what should we do with the current situation?"

I heard last time that Cao Bao, under Tao Qian, defected from Liu Bei and joined Lu Bu. This was really surprising.

Immediately afterwards, the situation inside Xuzhou changed.

Yesterday, Cao Cao received Liu Bei's letter.

Liu Bei said in the letter that it was not his intention to take over Xuzhou's pastoral duties. In fact, he was entrusted by Tao Gong before his death, and now he is unable to govern Xuzhou.

His words are sincere and somewhat true.

In short, in one sentence, Liu Bei said that he did not want to be the shepherd of Xuzhou and asked Cao Cao if he had any intention of taking over Xuzhou.

He is willing to give up Xuzhou!

This was beyond Cao Cao's expectations.

I thought that after Liu Bei succeeded Xuzhou, he would have to stalemate with him for a while.

Maybe there will be a big battle between the two.

But now, Liu Bei's letter made Cao Cao a little unsure.

"Zhicai, what do you think Liu Bei means by this?"

Cao Cao frowned slightly when he asked Xi Zhicai.

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai raised the corner of his mouth slightly!

"My lord, now in Xuzhou, with Cao Bao's temporary rebellion, Lu Bu's power has surpassed Liu Bei's!"

"Liu Bei said he was a pastor in Xuzhou, but he couldn't restrain Lu Bu!"

"And from what I've seen, Lu Bu's current actions indicate that he intends to annex Liu Bei in one go. It's true that he would say this!"

In the current situation, Liu Bei would take the initiative to take action. In Xi Zhicai's opinion, it is normal.

Liu Bei has no other choice.

With his own ability, there is no way to resist Lu Bu at this moment.

If Cao Cao really doesn't care, Liu Bei will be swallowed up by Lu Bu sooner or later!

In the current situation, it is a wise move for the other party to make such a choice!

"What Zhicai said is true!"

"Liu Bei had this intention, which saved him a lot of trouble!"

Liu Bei was able to take the initiative to surrender Xuzhou, which was great for Cao Cao.

This time he has occupied half of Xuzhou. If Liu Bei opens the city and surrenders, all of Xiapi will belong to him.

By then, Lu Bu will only have Pengcheng left!

With enemies on all sides, even though Lu Bu was extremely capable, there was nothing he could do.

What's more, he, Lu Bu, is just a defeated general!

At this moment, Cao Cao even wanted to call Xi Yu, who was in Juancheng, to come to the front line.

If Xi Yu is here, what does Lu Bu mean?

I'm afraid that after knowing Xi Yu's arrival, Lu Bu would flee with his army the next day, right?

It's a pity that, although he thought so in his heart, Cao Cao knew Xi Yu's temperament well, and the other party has always been unwilling to be a general.

At this time, Cao Jun was not in a deadlock, and there was no way to call Xi Yu over now!

After collecting his mind, Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Cao Ren and the others.

"Forget it, since Liu Bei is willing to open the city and surrender, you all will come with me to Xiapi tomorrow!"

The next day, Cao Cao led the army from Dongpingcheng to Xiapi.

Hearing that Cao Cao's army was coming, the city gate was opened wide in Xiapi City. At this time, Liu Bei led Guan, Zhang and other people to wait at the city gate early.

At the same time.

In Xiapi City, Pengcheng Lu Bu learned about Liu Bei's attack on the city immediately.

Hearing this news, Lu Bu was quite surprised.
