Chapter 723 Password Chicken Ribs
Lu Peng is idle and miserable here, in fact, Cao Cao is much more painful than Lu Peng at this time.
For Cao Cao, there is nothing to die in the war, otherwise how can it be called a war, this million army, in the face of Lu Peng, is only more than 200,000, a real and upright battle, and he has absolute confidence that he will destroy him first in a battle.
But war is a process of twisting. In other words, what you want to achieve, I firmly oppose. What I want to achieve, of course, you must not let me achieve it easily, otherwise if you cooperate with each other, it will not be a war, that is, the two brothers, hello, I will drink and be a family.
What Cao Cao is most afraid of now is to consume the other party, and as a result, Lu Peng is carrying out this kind of war of attrition with himself.
Among them, Cao Cao was not inactive, commanded his own men and horses, and killed the Wulong Pass overwhelmingly, and carried out the most resolute attack on him.
But unfortunately, it was just a futile attempt to increase his own casualties, and there was no harm in this Lu Peng's dangerous Wulong Pass.
After several attacks, Cao Cao reluctantly gave up this senseless attack, so the war appeared in the current situation, everyone sat quietly, staring at each other.
But more than two months have passed, Cao Cao's current military food supply has been consumed at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and the original million quintals of grain must not be wasted in this way, so now Cao Cao has ordered that the quota of three meals a day in a normal war, and a good meal for each meal, will be reduced to two meals a day, dry rice in the morning, thin porridge in the evening, and half for the people.
In order to guard against Lu Peng's sudden assault, only 50,000 soldiers were put on guard every day, and these 50,000 people still implemented the food standards of the war, and then rotated.
But even so, the grain and grass are still decreasing at a worrying rate, and it was originally expected to last for four months, but under his own arrangement, it can be extended by two months.
Six months later, it will be winter, and the consumption of grain and grass will be even greater.
But the autumn harvest did not make Cao Cao feel relieved and confident, because he knew that through Lu Peng's action to sabotage his spring sowing production, the area north of the Yellow River had no harvest, but fortunately, there was no need to worry about his own relief here, because Jia Xu had already driven all the people here to Lu Peng.
However, because he suddenly launched a million-strong army to conquer Lu Peng this time, he had already drained most of the labor force in his heartland, and as a result, the grain output in his heartland could also be predictably reduced in a large area.
The army needs to be supplied with food and grass, and the people behind have done their best, if they loot it again, it will inevitably provoke a popular uprising, and when the time comes, the people behind them will rise up and smoke everywhere, and they will enter a kind of despair.
The methods that should provoke Lu Peng to send troops have all been used, such as issuing war letters, provoking the enemy and scolding the formation, making an appointment to fight alone, and so on.
originally thought that Lu Peng was a young man, and young people should have some anger, and when they scolded themselves, they should be furious, and they should send troops to fight against themselves desperately.
As a result, such a method is simply useless to Lu Peng, the guy who should have been young and vigorous, has already had an old-fashioned momentum, no matter how he teases, he is just nestled in his turtle shell and doesn't say anything.
On the one hand, he is in a hurry to fight, but on the other hand, he absolutely does not cooperate, which is the so-called slap that does not make a sound.
Routinely continued to convene civil and military gatherings to discuss the strategy against Lu Peng, and the result was as always, all the generals shouted and shouted to kill, but they couldn't find opponents, and all the civil servants were silent, even if Jia Xu, who was full of poisonous tricks, is now a two-handed one, giving you a kind of helplessness.
So today's meeting was routinely dispersed, everyone went, and dinner was served.
Cao Cao's dinner has now become more economical, without the style of Zhong Mingding's food in the past, but one vegetarian dish is Cao Cao's favorite shallots mixed with tofu, this thing is a fire, and there is another one that needs to be made up for him, that is, stewed mutton, plus a stewed white chicken.
At this time, an officer on duty, please order the password of today's military camp, Cao Cao was gnawing on a chicken rib at that time, thinking about the tired meal in front of him, looking at the chicken rib in his hand, he felt it, and said smoothly: "Chicken ribs." ”
Yang Xiu, the chief bookkeeper of the march, saw the word "chicken ribs", so he asked the accompanying soldiers to pack up and prepare to withdraw. Someone reported it to Xiahoudun on duty.
Xiahoudun was taken aback, so he asked Yang Xiu to the tent and asked, "Why are you packing up?"
Yang Xiu said: "Judging from tonight's order, we can know that the lord will soon retreat and return to the capital. Chicken ribs, there is no meat to eat, and it is a pity to lose it. Now that the army cannot be victorious, the retreat is a shame, there is no benefit here, it is better to go back as soon as possible, and the lord will inevitably return to the court in the coming day. Therefore, pack your bags first, so as not to panic when it is time to leave. Xiahoudun said: "Sir really understands the mind of the lord!" "Then pack up as well. So none of the generals in the barracks were not ready to return to the court.
That night, Cao Cao was distraught and could not sleep peacefully, so he picked up a steel axe and walked around the military camp alone. Suddenly, I saw that the soldiers in Xiahoudun's camp were all preparing their own clothes. Cao Cao was shocked, and hurriedly returned to the camp to summon Xiahou to ask the reason. He replied, "The chief bookkeeper, Yang Zude, knows in advance what the king wants to go back. Cao Cao called Yang Xiu to ask the reason, and Yang Xiu replied with the meaning of chicken ribs. Cao Cao said angrily: "How dare you spread rumors and mess with our army's heart!" Then he asked the knife and axe man to arrest Yang Xiu, and he wanted to make an example of him.
From the person received the order, gathered the general to raise the account, and then arrested Yang Xiu. Oh oh,
This Yang Xiu is indeed talented, but this person is just open because of his talent, not only offended his colleagues, but also was not liked by Cao Cao, too, how can a person who is always in front of the head of the house and specializes in taking over the scars of the head of the house?
It was through this time that he killed this arrogant guy and drove away this fly in his heart.
Yang Xiu was caught by the five flowers, but his face was flat, he didn't mean to panic and plead at all, and he actually had a feeling of drowsiness.
At that time, Cao Cao was furious and knocked on the table fiercely: "Yang Xiu, spreading rumors in the army, distorting my thoughts, confusing my military spirit, not killing you today is not enough to clean up the army, at this time, you actually pretended to force me, you are really angry with me, come and come, push out and kill." ”
If you want to say that Yang Xiu's popularity is really okay, everyone knows that it is just a sin that should not be killed, Cao Cao is just a moment of anger, as long as someone stands up and persuades him, it will be over, but no one stands up to help Yang Xiu say a word, which can be regarded as a kind of sadness.
Being shouted and killed by this shout, Yang Xiu opened his eyes, glanced around proudly, and then said to Cao Cao: "The lord can't kill me, if he kills me, there will be no good idea to defeat Lu Peng, and the lord will hate it for eternity."
