Chapter 763: Tangled Sun Quan
"What? Locust feast?? When Cao Cao saw the next issue of "Liaodong Daily", he suddenly had such doubts in his heart, "Is there a mistake?" Will anyone eat it? ”
However, the next news from Xun You surprised him - Chen Liu's Drunken Immortal Mansion was also going to hold a locust feast!
It's crazy! Cao Cao thought secretly.
If nothing else, just talk about the people's fear of locusts, then they will definitely not dare to eat locusts!
"Lord, it is said that this locust banquet was held very well in Liaodong and other places, and it has received unanimous praise!" Xun Yu Dao.
Listening to Xun You's words, Cao Cao was so surprised that he almost didn't bite his tongue: "What?!" Are there really people in Liaodong who go to eat this thing? ”
"That's right, it is said that there were not many people at the beginning, but more and more, under the word of mouth of the people, it soon became popular, Zhao Feng held a locust banquet for three days in a row, basically let all the people eat locusts!" Xun Yu Dao.
"Could it be that this locust is really that delicious?" Cao Cao frowned slightly, his heart was now faintly eager to try!
"When is the locust feast expected to take place?" Cao Cao asked.
"It looks like tomorrow!" Xun Yu said, and then looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, "Isn't the lord trying to go to ......?" ”
"yes, don't you want to?" Cao Cao nodded without hesitation, and then asked Xun Yu rhetorically.
......To be honest, Xun You's heart is still a little resistant to locusts, but when he heard that the locust banquet was held so successfully in Liaodong, and the locusts were well received by the people of Liaodong, he was really a little greedy, and he really wanted to try it to see if the locusts were so delicious.
"Hehe, then let's go! Let Zuixianlou prepare a big private room tomorrow, call Shangyuan Rang and Miaocai, and let's go together! Cao Cao smiled slightly.
"Yes!" Xun You nodded.
……
Early the next morning, Cao Cao and his entourage came to the Drunken Immortal Building, and directly entered the largest private room. They have an enmity with Zhao Feng, and they can't wait to eat meat and drink his blood!
At this moment, they are sitting in the drunken immortal building opened by Zhao Feng, and what they are going to eat is the locust feast prepared by Zhao Feng's order, so how can their hearts feel better.
Before coming, the two of them had persuaded Cao Cao not to come more than once, for a very simple reason - Zhao Feng was not well-intentioned, he must have wanted to poison all the people left behind!
Cao Cao scoffed at the remarks of the two, to be honest, if eating locusts could eat the dead, wouldn't the people of Liaodong have fallen long ago? These two people still have too deep prejudices against Zhao Feng, and they have been thinking about Yuan Shao in their hearts, their old master, this is what Cao Cao is willing to see, I believe that if they are any lord, they will not hope that their subordinates will miss the old master, right?
Moreover, the most important thing is that Cao Cao Cao Cao doesn't seem to have much to use the two of them now, unlike when he was at the beginning, his subordinates were scarce, and in Cao Cao's heart, he always thought that these two people were people of insight, but he didn't expect them to have so many small problems!
Now Cao Cao can't help but regret it a little, what he wants to do now is to find an excuse to transfer these two people away from his side or kill them completely!
Looking at the strange-shaped locusts on the table, everyone couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps, but when they thought of the unanimous praise of the people of Liaodong for these dishes, everyone couldn't help but take a bite and put it in their mouths.
But I can't stop taking this bite, it's so delicious! A large table of dishes was all wiped out by everyone, and everyone ate happily. But two of them didn't even drink a sip of wine!
"It's so delicious!" On the way back, Xiahoudun waited for noon to smash his mouth, looking unfinished.
"What a whimsical idea!" Cao Cao sighed, his whimsical sentence was not derogatory, but actually praising Zhao Feng and praising this locust feast!
In this way, the drunken immortal buildings under Cao Cao's rule also opened locust feasts with Cao Cao's acquiescence, and the people gradually accepted the fact that locusts can be eaten!
……
At this moment, Zhao Feng and Cao Cao were both relieved, but in Chaisang, Sun Quan was furious.
Lu Meng came back, and he did withdraw it, but of the 300,000 army, Lu Meng only brought back 100,000! The remaining 200,000 were all folded in Jingzhou! What a big loss this is, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, together there are not a million, and now they have lost 200,000 all at once, who is it, they have to be angry, right?
"The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the lord!" Lu Meng knelt on the ground in shame.
"Humph!" Sun Quan snorted coldly. In fact, Sun Quan's heart is also very hesitant now, there are a lot of talents in Jiangdong, but there are very few such generals, think about Jiangdong, there are many generals, the older ones are like Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Ling Cao, the younger generation, like Ling Tong, Ding Feng, Xu Sheng and Yang Lin, who joined the army in Qu'a before, and then showed the courage of the three armies! And the recent up-and-coming steps, and so on, and many, many more.
But among them, there are too few people who can command the three armies like Lu Meng! This is also the reason why Sun Quan has been struggling with whether to take away Lu Meng, the position of the Grand Governor!
"Forget it, you get up!" Sun Quan sighed, and finally did not cure Lu Meng's crime, because once Lu Meng's crime was cured, there might be no one to do the post of Jiangdong Metropolitan Governor!
"Thank you for your forgiveness!" Lu Meng also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was not too much to directly give him death just because of the sins he committed, but Sun Quan still chose to forgive him, and Lu Meng's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude.
"Tell me, why did you lose so badly?" Sun Quan knew Lu Meng's ability, and he was also confident in the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong soldiers! But Lu Meng was defeated, and he was defeated so badly, in Sun Quan's opinion, there must be something hidden in this!
"Hey!" Lu Meng sighed and spoke: "Lord, the most important thing is that our Jiangdong's strength is too weak, and compared with the soldiers of Liaodong, it is simply not worth it!" Moreover, Liaodong seems to have developed a new type of weapon, just like a thunderbolt, which can explode and is extremely powerful, and the most surprising thing is that Liaodong also has a naval army, and the Liaodong naval army is extremely combative, and their warships are made of steel! ”
Hearing what Lu Meng said, Sun Quan was already shocked, and he repeated countless times in his heart: These are impossible four words!
