It was supposed to be the harvest season, but Cao Cao was completely worried, what he was worried about was not the stubborn war, but the desperate locust plague.

The locust plague is raging in the territory, swarms of locusts cover the sky and the sun, and there is no grass growing in the places where they pass, and the crops in the fields are naturally not spared, and without food, there is no way to fight, and the army has no food and is in chaos, and it is impossible to let the soldiers go hungry and fight with the enemy.

At this time, the people did not know how to exterminate the locusts, but only knew how to beat gongs and drums, in a vain attempt to make some frightening noises to scare the locusts away, but with little success.

When the number of locusts is immeasurable, the overwhelming battle is more terrible than thousands of troops.

There was no food, so Cao Cao was worried, and Cheng Yu had been gone for two days, saying that he was going back to his hometown to collect food.

Cao Cao has no bottom in his heart, and now that there is no food in various places, can Cheng Yu have a way?

At this time, Fan County, the torches were shining under the night sky, shining as bright as day, I heard that Cheng Yu was back, and the villagers rushed to greet him, Fan County had such a big official, and the hometown fathers were very proud, especially before Cheng Yu kept Dong'e and Fan County by himself, which brought hope to the situation in Yanzhou, otherwise, once these two places were lost, Lu Bu's army would drive straight into and launch a direct attack on Juancheng, and Juancheng would become a lonely city, which would be difficult to keep.

Cheng Yu's performance not only won Cao Cao's respect, but also honored and proud of his hometown father.

Cheng Yu saw so many people coming to greet him, and his mood was very complicated, but when he thought of the task of this trip, Cheng Yu's heart was like pressing a huge stone, heavy, and he could hardly breathe.

After a few polite words with the villagers, Cheng Yu asked tentatively, "Fellow villagers, I don't know if there is any surplus food at home?" ”

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was strangely quiet, and this dull atmosphere Cheng Yu couldn't be clearer in his heart.

Everyone has no food, but the soldiers on the front line still have to fight, how can they do without food?

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Yu rarely takes a trip back to Fan County, if relatives and friends don't give up, please come to my home with me to sit down, let's think of a way together." ”

Everyone was very happy, and someone said, "My lord will definitely find a way." ”

"That is, Lu Bu's tens of thousands of troops, adults don't pay attention to them, this kind of thing must be difficult for him."

For Cheng Yu, the villagers have an almost blind worship.

After arriving home, Cheng Yu asked everyone to gather in the courtyard, and while he was preparing tea for everyone, he gave an order to the soldiers he brought.

Leave no one behind, and kill them all.

The villagers were looking forward to it, talking happily, and when they mentioned what Cheng Yu had done, they all gave a thumbs up and praised it.

"The situation at that time, now that I think about it, I still feel terrified in my heart, Fan County at that time was precarious, hanging by a thread, you must know that the relatives of the county order have fallen into the hands of Lu Bu, who has changed, and I dare not continue to be the enemy of Lu Bu, what happened, Lord Cheng rode into the city alone to see the county order, and was stunned to persuade the county order."

"Yes, Master Cheng is really good, without him, our Fan County would have fallen into the clutches of Lu Bu a long time ago."

Everyone was talking enthusiastically, and everyone was dumbfounded when they saw Cheng Yu rushing into the courtyard with hundreds of Cao soldiers.

"My lord, what are you?"

Cheng Yu waved his hand in a complicated mood, he didn't have a face to explain to everyone at all, so he had to turn his back away, and hundreds of Cao soldiers flashed their swords and guns, launching a cruel and bloody massacre against the villagers who knew nothing.

Puff puff...... The sound was endless, it was the sound of a sharp blade piercing through the flesh and blood, and these Cao soldiers brought by Cheng Yu were all elites on the battlefield, but at this moment their butcher knives were swung at the unarmed villagers.

Soon, the courtyard was quiet, Cheng Yu slowly turned around, glanced at it with a heavy heart, and looked up at the sky again, "It's not too early, let's start, don't waste time." ”

Before dawn, all the dead bodies were made into dried meat used as military rations.

After seeing Cheng Yu, Cao Cao was very excited, Cheng Yu looked tired, just glanced at Cao Cao in a hurry, and then looked away, "Lord, he is incompetent, and he can only raise three days of military rations." ”

Cao Cao vaguely guessed something, but he didn't break it, "Zhongde, it's not easy for you to do this, it's easy to add to the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow!" ”

Cheng Yu's real name is Cheng Li, and he told Cao Cao a dream he often had: he dreamed that he climbed Mount Tai and held the sun in both hands.

Cheng Yu didn't tell anyone about this dream before, but after saving Dong'e and Fan County, he told Cao Cao, and Cao Cao heard the deep meaning, this dream not only indicates that Cheng Yu will soar in the future, but also has a metaphor, that is, he Cao Cao is the sun hanging high in the sky, and the sun represents the lord of the world.

After Cao Cao beat that, he regarded Cheng Yu as a confidant.

Cheng Yu's name was also changed from Cheng Li to Cheng Yu.

Although the dried meat is rich in nutritional value, it can let the soldiers eat meat in the year of famine, which is not bad, but after all, there are more monks and less porridge, there is no way, Cao Cao had to carry out a large reduction in the troops, and the old, weak, sick and disabled are all eliminated, he must ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, for this reason, most of the people who were laid off starved to death in the wilderness, becoming the delicious stomach of the wild wolf vulture.

Although the dried meat was made very secretly, in order not to let everyone find out, Cheng Yu also dried it in Fan County for a day, but everyone still found out, although they were afraid, but the soldiers were so hungry that in order to survive, they could only grit their teeth and stuff them into their mouths.

Bi Chen was Cao Cao's side, and his mother and younger brother were also arrested by Zhang Miao, and Cao Cao persuaded Bi Chen to leave and return to Zhang Miao's side.

Cao Cao thought about what happened to him, his mother was gone since he was a child, his father and younger brother were also killed, Bi Chen's family was arrested, and if he continued to be loyal to him, his family would probably never be seen again in this life.

In Cao Cao's heart, he also secretly gritted his teeth and cursed Zhang Miao, arresting other people's families at every turn, and the means were too despicable.

First, Jin Yun from Fan County before, and now it is the turn of Don't drive Bi Chen, and Cao Cao gritted his teeth with hatred for his old friend.

Hijacking other people's families, Lu Bu wouldn't do this kind of thing anyway.

Bi Chen shook his head again and again, saying that he would swear to follow Cao Cao to the death, Cao Cao was very moved, and tears flowed out, but that night, someone told Cao Cao that Bi Chen ran away!

One set in front of the face, one set behind the back, played Cao Cao.

Cao Cao cried again, last time, it was moved, this time, it was shame!

Cao Cao's life is not good, and Lu Bu is not much better, both sides are half a catty and eight taels, and they are both anxious about the lack of food and grass.
