Chapter 879: Good Things Come in Pairs
Entering July, the weather is still hot. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ะจะฉะฉ.(7)(9)XS.ัะะ. The war in the north was transferred from Chenliu County to the territory of Yanzhou East County.
Dongjun is the birthplace of Cao's 'Cao'.
Now Cao 'Cao' is stationed in Dongjun and confronts Liu Xiu.
Ten miles away from the military camp, there was the Chu State camp led by Liu Xiu.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Correction checked the news that was submitted. The news that Liu Xiu read was all from all over the country recently, including Yingchuan County, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou.
Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun won consecutive battles and continued to expand their territory.
Tai Shici was in Yuzhou, and he also attacked the city and plundered the land.
Now, there is no news of Huang Zhong's victory. But Liu Xiu trusts Huang Zhong and Ma Liang. Whether it is Huang Zhong or Ma Liang, they are all capable people who can win.
Moreover, the navy commanded by Lu Xun is also in Yangzhou. With the full cooperation of the navy under Lu Xun, it is not a difficult thing to defeat Yu Ban in Guangling.
The state of Chu and the state of Wei fought, and the state of Wei was weak.
Although Cao Cao's still has enough territory, including Jizhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou and other places, the generals under Cao Cao's command surrendered and died in battle, and Cao Cao's main generals who could use were fewer and fewer.
And Cao '' himself is getting older and older now, and he is no longer in his prime. Even if Cao's '' is not affected by headaches, he is also greatly affected by his age.
On the other hand, under Liu Xiu's command, the various legions were strong.
The people of each legion are all first-class fierce generals.
Such as Tai Shici, Wen Ping, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun and others, any one of them can stand alone. Not to mention Liu Xiu's rear, there are also Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other cadres to ensure that Liu Xiu has enough advantages.
The overall strength of Liu Xiu's command is already higher than Cao's ''.
In particular, Liu Xiu also has Lu'men Academy to cultivate talents, which makes Liu Xiu's talent reserve abundant.
When the coaches of both sides are not muddy and do not make stupid moves, it depends on who is stronger in all parties. Cao's '' strength is at a disadvantage, and he is inferior. So now that they are fighting, Liu Xiu has the advantage, and although Cao 'Cao' wants to counterattack, he is powerless.
"Step, step!"
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the tent.
A brocade guard walked in, handed over a letter, and reported: "Your Majesty, this is the latest battle report sent. โ
"Got it!"
Liu Xiu waved his hand, and Jinyi Wei respectfully retreated.
After opening the letter, Liu Xiu quickly skimmed through it. At this moment, Liu Xiu's face was full of joy. In this battle report, in addition to Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici who continued to expand the results, there was news of Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong and Tai Shici joined forces to seize Guangling County and capture it alive.
In the war report, the battle was clearly recounted.
Now, Yu Ban is escorted by soldiers and goes to Xiangyang by water, and then he will go north by land and send him to the place where Liu Xiu is. Calculate the time, estimate that it will be at most half a month, and Yu Ban will be served.
Liu Xiu called Wen Ping, Ma Chao and others to inform everyone of the news of Huang Zhong's victory. However, Liu Xiu's request to be silent for the time being, which means that after the ban is sent, he will take Yu Ban to Cao's camp to fight, and once again stab Cao Cao's 'Cao'.
In the evening, Xu Shu came to Liu Xiu's tent. Xu Shu's face was also full of smiles, and he clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy." โ
Liu Xiu asked, "What's the happy thing?"
In the morning, Liu Xiu received the news that Huang Zhong had won a great victory and Yu Ban had been captured. Liu Xiu was very happy about this news. Now Xu Shu has come to report the good news again, which can be described as double happiness coming to the 'door'.
Xu Shu was very 'excited' and said excitedly: "Your Majesty will know if you go to the logistics camp with me." โ
Liu Xiu became curious.
What happened to make the steady Xu Shu so excited.
Liu Xiu stood up, followed Xu Shu out of the Chinese army's tent, and went straight to the logistics camp. Xu Shu led Liu Xiu into the warehouse, entered the innermost, waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look!"
In the eye, the yellow and golden are shining.
The other party in front of me was full of pumpkins, one by one, neatly stacked in the warehouse. And the pumpkins piled on the ground are not small pumpkins of a few catties or ten catties, they are very large, at least more than 30 catties, and they are in very good condition.
Liu Xiushen was delighted, and said: "I forgot, it's July now, and the pumpkins that have been planted have begun to bloom and bear fruit and begin to ripen. โ
For pumpkins, Liu Xiu is extremely familiar.
Now that the pumpkin has been harvested, Liu Xiu is also extremely happy.
Xu Shu took out a letter from his long sleeve, handed it to Liu Xiu's hand, and reported: "Your Majesty, this is a letter sent by Lord Shoufu, about the situation of pumpkins. โ
Liu Xiu took it apart to view.
Kuai Liang's letter mentions that a large number of pumpkins bloom and bear fruit, and the harvest begins to be harvested one by one. The pumpkins sent to Liu Xiu's camp are the first batch of 100,000 catties, and more pumpkins will be sent in the future. Kuai Liang also asked Liu Xiu to instruct the soldiers in the stove room to collect pumpkin seeds for planting in the coming year.
Liu Xiu handed the letter to Xu Shu and instructed: "Yuan Zhi, according to Kuai Liang's arrangement, collect the pumpkin seeds." For the state of Chu, this is the most important material. โ
"Whoa!"
Xu Shu respectfully responded.
He knows the important 'sex' of pumpkins and does not dare to slack off.
After a moment of conversation, Xu Shu said: "Your Majesty, I am thinking about whether to take out a part of the pumpkin to cook soup and share it with the soldiers." According to the person sent by Shousuke-sama, the pumpkin soup is quite delicious. โ
Liu Xiu said: "For dinner tonight, add a pumpkin soup. โ
"Whoa!"
Xu Shu responded excitedly.
Liu Xiu looked at Xu Shu's 'excited' expression, but his heart was not 'wave'. Pumpkins are an excellent food for people of this era. But in the later generations, it is simply too ordinary to be ordinary.
In this era, the standard of living is very low, and it is good to have a bite to eat.
Pumpkin is sweet and filling.
Such food was a treasure to the people.
Liu Xiu and Xu Shu left the camp, Xu Shu went to arrange the cooking of pumpkin soup, and Liu Xiu went back to the camp tent.
It's July, and the pumpkin harvest is starting to grow.
The pumpkins are being harvested in a steady stream, but unfortunately the sweet potatoes have to wait for a few months.
When Liu Xiu was a little depressed, in the recent period, the Warring States system he accidentally obtained did not have any tasks, which made Liu Xiu helpless. If the system does not have a task, he cannot get benefits from the system, and he cannot use it on the people.
In less than half an hour, dinner began to be served in the barracks.
In addition to the daily 'meat' and rice, each soldier also had a bowl of pumpkin soup for tonight's meal, which was a rich meal. Ordinary soldiers know that a soup has been added, but they don't know what pumpkin soup is.
When a soldier heard the news from the chef in the room and learned that the pumpkin was planted from the seeds given to Liu Xiu by God, all the soldiers were 'excited'.
The things in the heavens are extraordinary.
Being able to arrive late for the food given by God can be described as a blessing for three lives.
The news spread in a very short time, especially after the first soldier took a sip of pumpkin soup, the refreshing sweetness echoed in his throat, and the taste buds felt extremely comfortable, and the whole person enjoyed it incomparably.
"Cool!"
The soldier's eyes lit up and he quickly ran to the side to eat. The soup was drunk, and the pumpkin in the bowl quickly entered the soldier's stomach. The boiled pumpkin is so soft that it rots when you sip it, and the flavor is even sweeter and richer, with an endless aftertaste.
"Delicious, so delicious. โ
"It is worthy of the seed given to His Majesty by God, this pumpkin is really delicious. โ
"Blessed are you with Your Majesty. โ
"It would be nice if we could eat it every day. I don't know if I can eat this kind of food in the future?"
The soldiers were talking, very 'excited'.
The whole camp was in a state of excitement.
Liu Xiu saw this scene, and looked at the satisfied smile on the soldier's face, and his heart was also extremely happy. When he returned to the camp, there were already soldiers serving Liu Xiu the meal and pumpkin soup.
Looking at the pumpkin soup, Liu Xiu's heart suddenly thought of Cao 'Cao', who was ten miles away.
