Chapter 880: Cao Cao's Shock
Liu Xiu thought for a while, and his eyes lit up. I saw Liu Xiu spread out a piece of paper, dipped his pen in ink, quickly wrote down a letter, and after loading the letter, he instructed: "Someone, please Xu Shu." ”
Xu Shu entered the tent and saluted, "Your Majesty." ”
Liu Xiu handed the letter to Xu Shu and instructed with a smile: "Let someone prepare a food box and use a clay pot to fill a can of pumpkin soup and send it to Cao Cao." Pack some more pumpkin and let him taste the pumpkin. ”
"Ahh
Xu Shu was stunned when he heard this. He came back to his senses, thought about it carefully, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, it's a pity to give Cao '' to eat such a god-given thing as pumpkin." ”
For Xu Shu, such a supreme delicacy as pumpkin is a godsend, and it is pure waste to send it to Cao 'Cao'. Xu Shu has lived for so many years, and he has never eaten such a delicacy.
Now I want to give it to Cao '', Xu Shu is unwilling.
Even though Xu Shu understood Liu Xiu's intentions, he understood that Liu Xiu deliberately wanted to stab Cao Cao and ''.
But you can't be so 'excited'?
Seeing this, Liu Xiu laughed, and said without hurry: "Yuanzhi, rare things are expensive. If there are only a few dozens of pumpkins, it is naturally extremely precious. ”
"But we have too many pumpkins. ”
"It's not unusual. ”
"This batch of 100,000 catties of pumpkins has been delivered, and the next batch will be more. When the soldiers in the barracks became familiar with the taste of pumpkins, pumpkins were no longer unusual, but just food for the stomach. ”
"Although it is a godsend, if you eat too much, it will be average. ”
Liu Xiu had a smile on his face and said, "Although Cao 'Cao' is my enemy, Cao 'Cao' is a wise and eloquent master, give Cao 'Cao' a little food and let him taste it." ”
"Obey the order!"
After listening to Liu Xiu's words, Xu Shu knew that Liu Xiu was resolute, so he immediately turned around and walked out, ready to carry out the order.
Liu Xiu stopped and said, "Wait!"
Xu Shu stopped, turned around and said, "What does Your Majesty command?"
Liu Xiu said: "Pumpkin soup is not allowed to be used as hands and feet. ”
"Whoa!"
Xu Shu responded, he got out of Liu Xiu's camp tent, went straight to the room of the logistics camp, and instructed the cook to prepare a food box, and then fill a can of pumpkin soup in a clay pot. After everything was ready, Xu Shu found a clever lieutenant from the barracks and asked the lieutenant to ride to Cao's camp.
However, before the lieutenant left, Xu Shu also gave careful instructions to prevent the lieutenant from making a fool of himself after seeing Cao's ''.
"Da! Da!!"
The sound of horses' hooves was urgent, and the lieutenant ran wildly with a food box.
The clay pot containing the pumpkin soup is covered, and although there are bumps in the horses when they run, they do not worry about the pumpkin soup spilling. Moreover, the clay pot is thick, and in a short time, it will not get cold.
The captain rode his horse in a hurry, and soon came to the outside of the camp of the Wei ** team. When he was still a hundred paces away from the main camp, the lieutenant turned over and dismounted.
He paused, gasping for breath.
After the breath was slightly even, the captain raised his head and 'chest' and walked towards the barracks.
The lieutenant's actions put the soldiers at the 'gate' of the camp on alert. However, because there was only one lieutenant, there was no change in the battalion, only the soldiers at the 'gate' of the camp were on guard.
When the distance between the two sides was less than ten paces, the Wei soldiers standing guard shouted: "Come and stop!"
The captain raised his head high, with a look of contempt, and said loudly: "This general is an envoy of His Majesty the Emperor of Chu, and he has come to ask to see the Emperor of Wei. ”
The Wei soldiers asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"
The captain had eaten pumpkin soup, and he said proudly: "This is a gift from His Majesty the Emperor of Chu to Emperor Wei, and my emperor made a special trip for me to send it." ”
The deliciousness of pumpkin soup is still remembered by the school captain.
It's a beautiful taste.
It's just a limited supply at night, and there is only one bowl of soup per person, and he only eats a few pieces of pumpkin, and there is no soup after drinking. So much so that now the center of my heart owes something, and I can't wait to eat three more bowls.
The soldier standing guard looked strange, and looked incomprehensible, Liu Xiu gave Cao '' food?
This is the first time this has happened.
The soldiers standing guard all felt that this matter was 'quite new'. But this is a matter between Cao 'Cao' and Liu Xiu, he doesn't dare to mix up, and he doesn't dare to stop it.
"Wait!"
The soldier gave the order and immediately turned to report it.
After a while, Xu Chu came out. Xu Chu was dressed in armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, his eyes were wide, and his face was even more murderous, staring at the lieutenant.
Xu Chu looked at the food box in the captain's hand and ordered: "Give me the food box, come with me!"
The lieutenant did not refuse, and directly handed the food box to Xu Chu, and entered the camp under the leadership of Xu Chu. Entering the big tent of the Chinese army, the captain saw Cao 'Cao'.
Cao '' curious.
Why did Liu Xiu bring him a piece of food?
Cao Cao' said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu sent you, what do you mean? Is it just as simple as sending food?"
The captain said proudly: "The food given by our emperor is a godsend. He took out the letter from his long sleeve and said, "This is my emperor's letter, and Emperor Wei will know it when he reads it." ”
Cao '' sneered, looking unbelieving, and said sarcastically: "I want to see what God-given things Liu Xiu has obtained." In the past few years, Liu Xiu has been pretending to be a god to 'trick' ghosts, and he has been deliberately 'fooling' the people, which is really scheming. ”
When the lieutenant heard this, he was immediately furious.
As a soldier of the Chu State, he witnessed the meteorite falling from the sky in the Chu State.
The miracle of the state of Chu is the pride of the soldiers of the state of Chu.
Cao's '' was denied with a word, and he still had a disdainful expression, and the lieutenant was very dissatisfied, and immediately retorted: "Emperor Wei spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, which is despicable. My emperor specially sent you a gift from heaven, and you didn't appreciate it, and it was so cold. ”
Cao '' and didn't answer.
The lieutenant's sarcasm, he didn't take it to heart.
Cao 'Cao' took the letter and read it quickly, but he didn't believe what Liu Xiu said. In Liu Xiu's letter, he said conclusively that pumpkin is a godsend, and there is a delicious thing to share, which means to be shared with Cao's ''.
It's just that Liu Xiu's words are stabbing 'excited' Cao '', which makes Cao's '' very unhappy.
Cao 'Cao' looked at Xu Chu and instructed: "Zhongkang, open the food box, I want to see what kind of God-given things Liu Xiu has obtained, which is worthy of his enthusiasm for such a teacher." ”
Xu Chu disagreed, and stopped: "Your Majesty, Liu Xiu is cunning and 'insidious', and the food in the food box must be Liu Xiu's trick." If Your Majesty eats it, I'm afraid it will be poisoned. ”
"Open!"
Cao '' the order, and his tone was very serious.
Xu Chu got the order, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, opened the food box in a proper manner, and took out the clay pot placed in the food box. Because the clay pot is closed, the heat escapes very slowly, and it is still warm. The moment the lid was opened, a sweet smell of pumpkin permeated the tent.
Cao '' was very surprised, and he was also aroused by his appetite, and ordered: "Take it and I will taste it." ”
Xu Chu said: "Your Majesty, what if it is poisonous?"
Cao 'Cao' smiled and said confidently: "I know Liu Xiu, he will not poison the food. Liu Xiu made a special trip to send pumpkin soup, because he wanted to prick me. But if it's a godsend, I won't know until I try it. ”
Xu Chu saw that Cao '' insisted on drinking soup, knelt down with a plop, and said very solemnly: "Your Majesty can't, please try it first." ”
As Cao Cao's henchman, he can't let Cao Cao' take risks.
If he wants to die, he will die first.
"You......"
Cao '' smiled, waved his hand and said, "That's it, you take a sip first." "Immediately, Cao 'Cao' ordered the soldiers to bring soup spoons and chopsticks. Xu Chu took the chopsticks, scooped a spoonful of pumpkin soup, gritted his teeth, and drank it in one gulp.
The moment the pumpkin soup enters the mouth, the aromatic sweetness spreads in the mouth, and the sweetness is refreshing and refreshing.
This smell made Xu Chu linger.
His eyes widened, he swallowed another mouthful of saliva, his eyes stared at the clay pot, and he said in surprise: "Your Majesty, this so-called pumpkin soup is really delicious." ”
Cao '' and asked with a smile, "Zhongkang, are you relieved now?"
Xu Chu waited for a while, feeling that he had no adverse reactions, so he took two steps back respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, please use it." ”
Cao 'Cao' took the spoon and stirred it in the clay pot.
Looking at the yellow pumpkin in the clay pot and smelling the fragrance that permeated it, Cao 'Cao' couldn't help but eat a piece. When the pumpkin entered his mouth, Cao 'Cao' squinted his eyes with an intoxicated expression.
Delicious!
It's a delicious treat!
Cao '' at this moment, and fell in love with this pumpkin soup.
