Chapter 862: Don't Betray Me
Cao Shuo was holding a bowl and eating meat, and Cai Ji hurriedly ran over.
"Childe, General Xu is here." Behind Cao Shuo, Cai Ji said.
"Which General Xu?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang."
"He's coming?" Cao Shuo stood up: "Did my father come?" ”
"Cao Gong didn't come." Cai Ji said: "General Xu is still carrying a human head, saying that he wants to give wine to his son. ”
Cao Shuo was full of black lines, and said to the generals: "Brother Zhongkang is really, he probably thinks that our army is so short of food that he wants to eat human flesh." ”
Xu Chu was the person next to Cao Cao, and he was the commander of the Tiger Guard, and the generals also stood up.
Cao Shuo instructed Cai Ji: "Invite General Xu here, and say that I will invite him to eat meat today." ”
Cai Ji retreated.
After a while, he led Xu Chu here.
Xu Chu strode forward, and Cao Shuo saw him carrying a human head in his hand.
Coming to Cao Shuo, Xu Chu threw his head to Cai Ji: "Take it!" ”
Cai Ji hurriedly reached out to pick it up.
The round human head rolled several times in his arms and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Cai Ji grabbed the hair of the human head and did not fall to the ground.
"Brother Zhongkang!" Cao Shuo held the bowl and grinned at Xu Chu: "It's a coincidence that I came, I was actually bumped into by Brother Zhongkang during the tooth sacrifice in the army today." ”
"It smells like meat." Xu Chu returned the salute and sniffed twice: "No wonder Cao Gong said to me, Gongzi must be a big fish and meat here, I don't know how easy it is." ”
"Brother Zhongkang doesn't dare to say that." Cao Shuo smiled: "Today is a tooth sacrifice for the soldiers, and we usually eat wild vegetables and grass roots." ”
Leaning towards Xu Chu, Cao Shuo held the bowl in one hand and pointed to his face with the other: "Brother Zhongkang, look, how have I been hungry lately?" My face is the color of wild vegetables! ”
Pulling Xu Chu and pointing at the soldiers, Cao Shuo said again: "Look at the soldiers again, which one is not yellow and thin, and they are all hungry and almost unhuman." ”
After looking at Cao Shuo first, and then arching his hand towards the generals, Xu Chu looked around at the soldiers who were eating meat around the bonfire, and his head was suddenly full of black lines.
Cao Shuo's face was full of red light, and he could see at a glance that he had been doing well recently.
Even the soldiers are all strong, where do they look like they have been hungry for a long time!
"Childe is talking nonsense again." Xu Chu said with a smile: "With a bowl full of meat, he actually told me to eat wild vegetables every day." ”
"Hurry up, bring a bowl of meat to Brother Zhongkang." Cao Shuo instructed Wei Tu.
Wei Tu went to fill a bowl of meat, held it in both hands and handed it to Xu Chu.
"Childe, what are you going to do?" Taking the meat, Xu Chu asked Cao Shuo.
"What's in Brother Zhongkang's bowl?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Meat." I didn't understand why he asked this, Xu Chu replied blankly.
"Who said that? It's obviously a wild vegetable. Cao Shuo said: "When I replied to my father, I asked Brother Zhongkang to be merciful, but I must say that when I came, I saw that we were all eating wild vegetables." ”
"Isn't that deceiving Cao Gong?" Xu Chu shook his head and said, "I can't do such a thing." ”
"Get it back!" Cao Shuo snatched the bowl of freshly filled meat from Xu Chu's hand. 、
"Childe, what are you doing?" Xu Chu was stunned.
"Eating our meat is also bad for our good deeds, but Brother Zhongkang still watched us eat well." Cao Shuo greeted the generals: "Eat all and ignore him." ”
"Childe!" Xu Chu approached Cao Shuo: "I came to convey the order on the order of Cao Gong. ”
"And then?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Gong Cao wants Gongzi to go see him as soon as possible." Xu Chu said: "I rushed all the way, and I met dozens of enemy soldiers who intercepted the road in the middle of the road, and I was really hungry." ”
"Close the camp gate, don't let the general out!" Cao Shuo shouted.
"Order!" Wei Tu promised to go out.
"Childe, what are you doing here?" Xu Chu said: "If you don't give food, forget it, why do you still close the camp gate?" ”
"Close the camp gate, Brother Zhongkang won't be able to get out." Cao Shuo smiled at him shyly: "From now on, as long as the soldiers have dinner, I will invite Brother Zhongkang here." ”
"That's good!" Xu Chu said: "But this will not just let me watch, right?" ”
"What does this make you look at?" Cao Shuo said: "From now on, Brother Zhongkang will have to watch from the side when we eat. ”
"My relationship with my son is not bad, why do you make a fuss like you have a deep hatred?" Xu Chu said with black lines on his head: "Childe, don't bring such a ...... to play"
"Brother Zhongkang is not kind, and when he treats people who are not kind, of course he must use unkind methods." Cao Shuo replied.
"Why am I not kind?" Xu Chu asked with a bitter face.
"Brother Zhongkang, let me ask you." Cao Shuo asked, "What is the relationship between the two of us?" ”
"Needless to say." Xu Chu said: "Okay! ”
"Are the soldiers under my command elite or not?" Cao Shuo asked again.
"Elite, of course." Xu Chu said: "As long as Gongzi goes, I have never heard of the unfavorable war. ”
"Do you want the elite soldiers to eat better?" Cao Shuo then asked.
"Of course you have to eat better." Xu Chu said: "The more elite you are, the greater your appetite." ”
"It turns out that Brother Zhongkang also knows." Cao Shuo said: "But I'm not in Huainan now, where do the logistics supplies come from?" ”
"Of course it was Cao Gong who transferred it." Xu Chu replied.
"That's right." Cao Shuo said: "If I keep asking my father for a lot of supplies, will he give them to me?" Especially when you know that my soldiers have meat to eat. ”
Xu Chu was stunned.
Cao Cao's military food supply is difficult, if Cao Cao knew that Cao Shuo's soldiers still eat meat every day, he would definitely deduct a lot of military rations.
"Since you have a good relationship with me, can you still tell the truth in front of your father?" Cao Shuo said: "Brother Zhongkang, it really doesn't matter if you cheat me, but you can't trap the soldiers under my command, can't you?" ”
Xu Chu was speechless by what he said.
"If Brother Zhongkang really treats me as a good friend, he has to promise me one thing." Cao Shuo said.
"As long as I can do it, as long as it's not against my heart, I'll agree." Xu Chu replied.
"If my father asks me what the soldiers here eat, you will answer him, wild vegetables and millet porridge." Cao Shuo grinned at Xu Chu.
"This ......" Xu Chu licked his lips and muttered in his heart, if the wild vegetable millet porridge was like this, I am afraid that few people would be willing to go to the ** grain.
But what Cao Shuo said seemed to make a lot of sense.
If he said in front of Cao Cao that the generals and soldiers of Cao Shuo's army had meat to eat every day, I am afraid that the military rations here would be reduced by more than half immediately.
At that time, not only Cao Shuo, but even the soldiers here will probably hate him to the bone.
"Gotcha! I can't get Childe. Xu Chu said: "Agreed?" ”
Cao Shuo immediately changed to a close smile and handed the bowl to Xu Chu: "Come!" Come! Come! If Brother Zhongkang feels that he is bored to eat only meat, I will have someone bring the altar of wine again. ”
