"My lord, according to the news from the spies, the Marquis of Jin grinded the locusts into powder, added them to the noodles, made them into cakes, and distributed them to the soldiers and refugees in the army." Jokingly, even if it was him, he was a little dumbfounded after hearing about the eating of locusts in Bingzhou, and he thought that the purchase of locusts in Bingzhou was so that the people could actively capture locusts to resist the locust disaster.

"Can you really eat it?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

"According to the news from Xizuo, the soldiers in the Bingzhou army did not resist, maybe they didn't know that they were eating locusts, and before that, the Bingzhou army changed three meals a day to two meals, and it also returned to normal." I have to say that he also admired Lu Bu's methods very much, and dared to suspend the payment of military salaries to alleviate the disaster, if such a thing is still so stable in the Yanzhou army, this is also the reason why he is even more afraid of merging the state.

"A pound of locusts is a penny, and a catty of rice grain is five yuan, and now Yanzhou and Yuzhou are the most lacking locusts, come to people, catch some locusts." Cao Cao seems to have found a way to alleviate the crisis in Yanzhou, as for saying that eating locusts is too sensational, as long as he can survive, even if it is grassroots, aren't the people scrambling to eat, for Yanzhou, this is definitely a surprise.

And now the rice grain has soared, usually a stone of rice grain needs more than 100 yuan, but now it needs 300 yuan, especially the family is secretly controlling the price of rice grain, which makes the price of grain in Yanzhou and Yuzhou rise sharply.

After ordering the soldiers in the army to test, Cao Cao was overjoyed, these soldiers who ate the dough cake made of locusts and noodles were not only not unusual, but they also fought for the dough cakes, and the dough cakes mixed with locusts were more fragrant.

"Herald Wen Ruo, dried locusts, purchased at the price of two catties and one penny." Cao Cao said.

Xi Ce naturally knows how these dough cakes are made, but he also knows that Yanzhou has reached a critical moment, if the current situation cannot be alleviated, even if the current crisis is overcome, how many people in Yanzhou and Yuzhou can be left, in the troubled times, more competition is the number of people, the number of people is more, it is easier to feed the army, even if it is a conscription, it can be easily completed.

The locusts can be eaten, which greatly relieves the pressure of grain and grass in the Yanzhou army, and they are more confident in breaking through Shouchun.

"My lord, there are businessmen secretly buying locusts in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, presumably it is also the handiwork of the Marquis of Jin, these people, do you want to ......" Cheng Yu stepped forward and said in a low voice.

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, "The military strength of the Bingzhou army is strong, and Benhou has an appointment with Fengxian, there is a locust plague in Yanzhou, and there are Xuzhou and Jingzhou outside, so you should make friends with Bingzhou." Having said that, Cao Cao had a hunch that there would definitely be a battle between him and Lu Bu.

Shouchun City, has already been in Cao Cao led the army to the outside of the city, the people's hearts floated, since the defeat in the hands of the coalition army that day, Yuan Shu for the army has rarely asked, just got up from the hospital bed Yuan Shu heard the news of the arrival of the Cao army, fell on the bed again, sent the envoy to the Cao army is also fruitless, but even the messenger for Cao Cao to kill.

Yuan Shu secretly hated Cao Cao, if he hadn't occupied Yuzhou and cut off the back road of the Jingzhou army, how could there be the current Cao Cao.

"Yan Situ, you send Cao Jun again, if Cao Jun is willing to retreat, I am willing to sell the method of making bed crossbows to Cao Jun." Yuan Shu said slowly, he didn't want to die, he had the beauties of the harem, and the palace that had just been renovated, and he hadn't had time to enjoy it, he was the son of heaven of the Zhong family.

"Holy Lord, I'm afraid that Cao Jun is plotting against Shouchun, and now the people in the city are panicking, and the army's heart is floating." Yan Xiang worried, in contrast, Yuan Shu's invigoration is the direct contributor to the current situation of Shouchun, Yuan Shu has the method of making bed crossbows in his hands, as long as he orders the craftsmen to build, in a few months, he can once again have an army that people dare not despise, bed crossbows are used to defend the city, not to mention more than 10,000 Cao troops, even if there are 100,000 Cao troops coming, they can only return in vain, in front of such a sharp weapon as the bed crossbow, Cao Jun's siege methods can only be described as insignificant.

"Order the general to strengthen the patrol in the city, I am the son of the Zhong family, and I am not afraid of the Cao army, what are they afraid of." Yuan Shu roared angrily, and then kept coughing, he didn't build a bed crossbow, it was just Yuan Shu's superficial rhetoric, and those craftsmen who disappeared in the city were also hidden by Yuan Shu, and now Shouchun still has a hundred bed crossbows, which is also where he keeps Shouchun's last hole card.

Yan Xiang arched his hand and said, "The Ten Thousand Hope Saints focus on the dragon body. In fact, he really wants to persuade Yuan Shu to ask for guilt, if he is willing to dedicate the jade seal to Liu Biao, plus the method of making a bed crossbow, Liu Biao will definitely correct Yuan Shu's name, so that Shouchun's embarrassment can be resolved, such as Huaxiong, who was the general of the Zhong family before, after taking refuge in Liu Biao, isn't he also alive and well, he also knows Yuan Shu's character, and can only secretly worry about what is behind him, no matter what, he is a courtier of the Zhong family, in the eyes of the princes, it is rebellion.

"Go, as long as Cao Jun can retreat, Yan Situ will be able to act with the opportunity." Yuan Shu waved his hand weakly.

The Zhong family sent an envoy to the Cao army again, and Yan Xiang was reprimanded by the Cao army's soldiers, which was also due to his identity, if the Cao army was weak and sent someone to the Zhong family, the Zhong family's civil and military generals would definitely ridicule it.

"Lord, Yan Xiang came here this time, I'm afraid it's for the sake of being able to make our army retreat." Joke laughed.

Cao Cao stroked the beard under his chin, and his expression was full of confidence, "Yuan Shu vainly claims to be the Son of Heaven, but he is a traitor. ”

"Lord, what if Yuan Shuken gave the method of making the bed crossbow and the jade seal to our army?"

Cao Cao's expression froze slightly, "The method of making a bed crossbow must be obtained, and the jade seal must also be dedicated to the saint." ”

As long as there is a method of making bed crossbows, why can't he break through the land of Xuzhou, if Shouchun is occupied, and at the same time has the land of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou, and then wave his troops, who in the world can stop, and he will also be famous in history.

"Why don't you settle Yuan Shu's heart first." Xi Ce said slowly.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Let the envoy of the Zhong family come in." ”

After some conversation, Yan Xiang hurriedly left Cao Jun, Cao Cao's promise is very important for the current Shouchun, although Shouchun is chaotic, but the soldiers in the army are still loyal to Yuan Shu, as long as Yuan Shu can come out of the shadow of defeat, the Zhong family still has hope, as for Yuan Shu wants to sell the bed crossbow to Cao Jun, it is completely unrealistic, but after Cao Jun gets the bed crossbow, will he retreat? This is the most important thing, if the two sides exchange identities, he will not choose to withdraw from the army, after all, Shouchun is already at his fingertips.
