Cao Shuo led the army to join Xun You and others.

Seeing Cao Shuo, Xun You saw that among the captives there were white-skinned people with high noses.

He asked Cao Shuo: "Doesn't Gongzi hate the people so much, why do you still keep them?" ”

"How many captives do you have on your side?" Cao Shuo didn't answer directly, but asked Xun You.

"A few thousand, not much." Xun Yu replied.

"When we broke through the enemy army, we saved many people, men, women and children." Cao Shuo said: "Do you know why these civilians are in the enemy army? ”

Xun You shook his head.

"They were called two-legged sheep by the Karma." Cao Shuo said: "It is specially used to kill and eat." ”

"We Central Plains soldiers also eat?" Xun You asked in surprise.

"The soldiers of the Central Plains don't eat it." Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "If they eat it too, I will definitely not let them live." ”

"Since that's the case, you should kill all the people." Xun You gritted his teeth and said, "I actually slaughtered our people in the Central Plains like livestock." ”

"How can that be?" Cao Shuo glanced back at the prisoners: "The military rations I brought are only enough for the soldiers to eat, but not enough to feed the prisoners." These people used to treat the people of the Central Plains as sheep, and from now on, they are sheep, specially used to feed the captives. ”

"Give back to the other in his own way." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and patted Xun You's shoulder gently: "When they killed people, they must have thought it was very interesting, but now that the angles are reversed, I will also let them feel what it is like to be placed on the cutting board." ”

Cao Shuo actually made such a decision, Xun You was very surprised.

He said to Cao Shuo: "Childe, if such a decision is made, I'm afraid that Cao Gong will be there"

"If my father thinks that what I have done is inappropriate, he will ask him to transfer military rations for me." Cao Shuo said: "As long as he allocates grain and grass for me, I will immediately kill these sheep and throw them away." ”

"Childe, don't let the soldiers slaughter the people first." Xun You said: "I asked someone to send a letter back to Cao Gong to see what Cao Gong said." ”

"Tell my father that there is a shortage of food in the army, and ask him to transfer some more." Cao Shuo whispered to Xun You: "There are too many captives, I really can't afford to raise them." ”

Xun You's head is full of black lines.

Only then did he understand that Cao Shuo kept these people, and whether he would let the captives eat them was still a matter of two words.

Cao Shuo's more direct purpose should be to get more military rations from Yecheng.

The soldiers and prisoners who can be raised, of course, he will not let the people be killed as military rations.

"Wei Gu and the others have been ambushed, and the rebellion here has been put down." Xun You asked Cao Shuo, "How is the son's side?" ”

"Uncle Chen killed Zhang Baiqi, and Gao Gan ran away." Cao Shuo said, "I have ordered the dragon pattern to ride after him. ”

"I just got the news that Wang Yan, the captain of Sili, intercepted and killed the senior cadres and sent the heads to Yecheng." Xun You said: "This time to counter the rebellion, the son is a hard worker. ”

"Hard work is rewarding." Cao Shuo shook his head and smiled: "I'm really afraid that there will be too much credit." ”

"Childe, don't hold too much grudge against Cao Gong." Xun You said: "Although Cao Gong did some things inappropriately, he is still after all."

"You don't have to say it, I can understand it." Cao Shuo said to Xun You: "I don't want to think about anything else now, I just want to get enough military food so that I can feed these prisoners." My father didn't give them rations, so I used my methods to feed them. I'm not going to starve them to death anyway. ”

"Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely inform Cao Gong and ask him to transfer grain and grass." Xun Yu responded.

While the two were talking, Xiahoudun and Du Yi walked over.

Seeing Cao Shuo, Xiahoudun greeted him very affectionately: "The eldest son is here!" ”

Grinning, Cao Shuo stepped forward and hugged Xiahoudun: "I haven't seen General Xiahou for a long time, and he is more powerful than before." ”

"Thanks to the son." Xiahoudun said: "This time the prince has made a great contribution, and Cao Gong will definitely have a generous reward." ”

"My father gave me a reward, but I don't dare to ask for it." Cao Shuo said to Xiahoudun: "I have received a lot of rewards in the past few years. ”

Although Xiahoudun is rude, he also knows some things that have happened in the Cao family recently.

As soon as Cao Shuo said this, Xiahoudun sighed softly: "We can't help much."

"You don't need to help, just help your father." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I will do whatever my father wants me to do, and I will be satisfied if I can not annoy him." ”

"Childe is filial, we all know." Xiahoudun first responded, and then said to Cao Shuo: "Maybe Gongzi doesn't recognize it yet, this is General Du." ”

Du Ji stepped forward and gave a big salute to Cao Shuo.

"General Du is loyal, I have heard of it for a long time." Cao Shuo arched his hand and replied: "The army has not yet arrived, only General Du has to deal with the rebellion alone, but it is hard!" ”

"Childe has been running for a long time, and he hasn't said it's hard, how dare I say it's hard." Du Yi hurriedly responded.

Cao Shuo led a large army and stationed with the soldiers and horses of Xun You and others.

A few days later, Cao Cao of Yecheng received a message from Xun You.

He handed the letter to Xun Yu on the side: "Wen Ruo, what does Zirong mean?" ”

After taking the letter and hurriedly browsing it, Xun Yu said: "The eldest son is looking for Cao Gong to ask for food. ”

"Food?" Cao Cao said: "What I asked is that he actually wants to treat the Qiang people as sheep, although there is not much food in the Central Plains now, but he will not treat the Qiang people as livestock." People eat people, and they can think of it. ”

"The people are brutal and have the custom of cannibalism." Xun Yu said: "The eldest son told Cao Gong that if there was no military rations, he could not afford to raise a large army, so he could only use them as military rations according to the customs of the Qian people. ”

"I'd like to see if he can do something like that." Cao Cao said.

"Cao Gong, don't look at it." Xun Yu said: "Others may not be able to do it, but the eldest son will!" ”

"What? How is he different from others? Cao Cao asked.

"The eldest son has always spoiled the army, and his military rations are now sufficient." Xun Yu said: "But there are so many prisoners, and the military food is no longer sufficient." In order to feed the army, he was really able to kill the people as sheep and feed the captives. ”

"So, I have to allocate military rations for him?" Cao Cao asked.

"Exactly." Xun Yu said: "Duke Cao can call the eldest son back to reprimand, but he must not deduct his military rations. Otherwise, the news of cannibalism in Cao Gong's army spread, which is not good for Cao Gong. ”

"Pass the order down and allocate some military rations to Zirong." In addition, tell him to let him come to Yecheng, and say that I have something important to look for him.

Xun Yu said: "Please allow me to go in person, I am also familiar with the eldest son, I am much better than others talking to him." ”
