The purse that Gan Mei was holding in his hand had a bit of a rudimentary shape, and Xi Yu didn't say anything when he saw the other party like this.

The other party can have his own opinions now, and he is happy to see it.

"Why did Ah Lang come back so early today!"

Regarding Xi Yu's daily practice in the barracks, Gan Mei is naturally clear.

It's just that it's still early now, and Xi Yu came back so early today, which still surprised Ganmei.

"The matter of training has been put on hold for the time being, and I have to find a way to make the soldiers in the barracks replenish the meat!"

casually explained to Gan Mei, who was a little surprised.

"Meat?"

"Is there not enough food and grass in the barracks?"

"Two days ago, my sister-in-law and Mrs. sent me a beef that fell to death, Ah Lang ...... if he needs it."

"Not enough!"

The Cao family would often send him some meat and the like, either where did Cao Cao get the venison, or he fell to death one day!

These meats are enough for the dramatists.

But to supply the baggage battalions and maintain their training, it is simply not enough!

"I've already thought about it, tomorrow I'll take Dian Wei and them to the mountains and get a few wild birds back!"

"Wild Biao?"

Gan Mei was puzzled, shouldn't the meat be inedible?

But since Xi Yu said this, Gan Mei didn't say much, she seemed to think of something again, and then looked up at Xi Yu.

"Ah Lang, Sister Zhaoji heard that she has composed a new song, do you want to take the time to listen to it?"

Regarding the previous proposal, Gan Mei still took it to heart.

mentioned this kung fu casually, but he deliberately wanted to match his husband.

When Xi Yu heard this, he didn't think much about it, but just shook his head.

"I've been very busy lately, I don't have much time, I'll talk about it when I have time!"

At the moment, he had to train his soldiers on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was planning for spring ploughing, although he had already gained experience in the previous year.

This year's spring ploughing will be smoother, but this thing still needs to be done by him.

Moreover, he expected that it would not be long before Cao Cao's side planned to continue to conquer Xuzhou.

At that time, the baggage battalion will also be responsible for transporting grain and grass.

Hearing Xi Yu say this, Gan Mei nodded.

Early the next morning.

Xi Yu took Zhao Yun and Dian Weilian and more than a dozen soldiers and went directly to the mountains.

Wild beasts in the mountains and forests were extremely common in this era, and it didn't take much effort for the three of them to encounter wild boars.

The group was lucky and ran directly into a litter of wild boars.

Dian Wei took the lead and knocked down the adult wild boar with one punch, and soon everyone returned to the barracks with two adult wild boars and a litter of piglets.

After learning that Xi Yu took Dian Wei and others to hunt wild boars back from the mountains, there was obviously some surprise in the entire Cao camp.

Wild boar, no one will eat it these days.

However, Xi Yu ignored this, and after calling the soldiers who were usually responsible for raising horses, Xi Yu began to discuss with the other party how to cut pigs.

"Emasculation?"

The soldier in charge of raising horses was a little stunned, he didn't understand why Mr. Xi was looking for him.

He is only responsible for feeding war horses on weekdays, and he doesn't understand such things as plowing pigs at all!

What's more, he hasn't even castrated a war horse.

In these years, things like war horses are scarce, and whoever dares to castrate a war horse will be beheaded.

"Sir, I really don't know, I'm just responsible for raising horses on weekdays!"

……

"What are you talking about, Fengyi is in the barracks, discussing with people how to castrate Yebi?"

Xi Yu's finding someone to help castrate Ye Yu in the camp was soon heard by Cao Cao.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao quickly led someone to find Xi Yu.

"Fengyi, what is there to castrate this wild man?"

When Cao Cao led Xun Yu and Xi Zhi to see Xi Yu, the other party was taking Dian Wei to look up and down around a wild man.

The wailing of the wild man was endless.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao's whole heart trembled.

"Brother is here!"

Hearing Cao Cao ask why he castrated the wild boar, Xi Yu casually began to carefully say the benefits of castration.

If you want to say that this pig, if Xi Yu is not mistaken, it happened to be researched by someone at this time in the late Han Dynasty.

I heard that it seems to be Hua Tuo, but he can't find where Hua Tuo is right now.

But that doesn't stop him from knowing the benefits of plowing pigs!

In fact, in this era, some people raised pigs at home, and after Xi Yu took Dian Wei and others to get this wild beast back.

Then he heard some of the soldiers in the camp say that the people were raising pigs.

However, the practice of plowing pigs has not yet become popular.

Those people raised pigs only so that they would not starve to death in disaster years.

But the current pig is too different from the head of the family in later generations, not to mention its emaciated body, but it is even more ferocious.

"And so much more?"

After hearing Xi Yu say the benefits of plowing pigs, Cao Cao didn't have the slightest doubt, and after thinking about it, he took the initiative to hug the sleeve king.

"What's so hard about plowing pigs, I'll help you!"

As he spoke, Cao Cao tied his robe around his waist, took a knife from the soldier on the side, and walked straight towards the wild boar.

"Dian Wei, come and help hold him down for me!"

shouted at Dian Wei, Cao Cao had already sharpened his sword.

This process happened too fast, Cao Cao wanted to take the initiative to start playing, and before he could open his mouth, he saw that the other party had asked Dian Wei to press the wild boar to the ground.

The two big men were pouting at the moment, one was struggling to press the boar's body, and the other was holding a knife and waving it at the boar's crotch.

Cao Cao's efforts were extremely fast, only to hear a wail from the wild boar, and when the voice fell, Cao Cao had already stood up from the boar.

"What's so difficult, it's a knife thing!"

While speaking, Cao Cao put the things in his hand aside, and walked over to Xi Yu as he spoke.

Xi Yu moved back.

What does Boss Cao mean, he just chopped the pig's hand and wanted to pat me on the shoulder?

Cao Cao didn't notice the meaning of Xi Yu retreating, and after this kung fu pig was finished, he washed his hands in the copper basin on the side as soon as possible.

After the pig was done, Xi Yu began to explain to the soldiers about how to deal with the wild boar in the future.

Next, these wild boars need to be castrated.

And learned that there were pigs among the people, and Xi Yu also began to order people to collect pigs from the people's homes.

At present, these wild boars still need to be kept in the barracks for the time being.

When the time comes, a few handfuls of months will pass, and it will be almost time to slaughter.

After finishing the work of the wild boar, Xi Yu took Cao Cao and the others into his big tent.

"The lord is not here for the sake of wild boars!"

Xi Yu guessed that Cao Cao was somewhat impatient now.

Before attacking Xuzhou, most of Xuzhou has now been captured by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's intention to attack Xuzhou had already been exposed before the beginning of spring, and it was even on the surface.

The entire Cao camp knew it.

Before he wanted to come to spring ploughing, Cao Cao intended to attack Xuzhou.

Sure enough, as Xi Yu spoke, Cao Cao sat on the top seat and nodded.

"After the year, the imperial court has ordered to change the era name, and from this year onwards, it will be the Xingping year name!"

"Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north will have a battle sooner or later, and now the princes everywhere are in a hurry to attack each other!"

"Although Yuan Shao is looking forward to the future, I expect that Gongsun Zhanbi is not his opponent, it will be a year or a few years, and the war in the north will definitely end!"

"This time, time is running out, not to mention that I heard that Liu Bei's reputation in Xuzhou is growing stronger!"

"Tao Qian is not worried, but this person is easy to become a big trouble!"

"If you let it develop in Xuzhou for a while, and in the future, we will capture Xuzhou, it will not be so simple!"

Cao Cao was in a hurry to attack Xuzhou, and the more important reason was that Liu Bei was still in Xuzhou at the moment.

If the other party is allowed to develop, I am afraid that the entire Xuzhou will become Liu Bei's by then.

It is rumored that Tao Qian is now seriously ill, and he is even more willing to give up the position of Xuzhou to Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei really inherited the territory of Xuzhou, wouldn't everything he had done before be in vain?

"Fengyi, when do you think it is appropriate for our army to attack Xuzhou?"

After Cao Cao finished his analysis, he turned his head and asked Xi Yu.

Hearing this, Xi Yu raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao, Boss Cao's scruples were indeed right.

It's just that he doesn't have much opinion on attacking Xuzhou now.

He turned his head to look at Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai.

"Two brothers, what do you think?"

Noticing that his younger brother was looking at him, Xi Zhicai instantly thought of what Xi Yu said at home before.

He had also investigated Chen Liu's side before, and found that Chen Gong really had a connection with Lu Bu.

Now that Xi Yu asked himself, it was obvious that he wanted to persuade Cao Cao.

"Lord, I don't recommend attacking Xuzhou this time!"

"The previous attack on Xuzhou has not been completely digested by my Yanzhou, although Yanzhou is abundant in grain and grass, it is difficult to support a protracted war!"

"If this battle drags on for too long, I am afraid it will cause great trouble to our army!"

Regarding the matter of worrying about Chen Liu, Xi Zhicai did not say it after all, but only said that it was not suitable to attack Xuzhou at the moment.

Now that spring ploughing has not yet begun, a big war last year has consumed a lot of grain and grass in Yanzhou.

If you continue to attack Xuzhou before spring ploughing, it will be fine for a short time, but if you can't capture Xuzhou for a long time, I'm afraid it will drag Cao's army down!

Xun Yu on the side also nodded.

"Lord, what Zhicai said is good, if you want to attack Xuzhou, you might as well wait until after the autumn harvest!"

After the two of them expressed their opinions, Cao Cao's brows couldn't help frowning.

Regarding the opinions of Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu, he had already asked earlier.

It was precisely because both of them did not approve of attacking Xuzhou during the spring ploughing that Cao Cao couldn't help but ask Xi Yu.

It's just that I didn't expect that the meaning of the current drama seems to be similar to the two of them.

However, today's Han Dynasty is in a hurry to compete for territory among various places.

The land of Xuzhou was close at hand, and he even expected that it would not take long to annex the entire Xuzhou.

"Time is running out!"

"I have a decision in my mind!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath: "Everyone, I naturally understand that if this battle cannot be resolved quickly, it will inevitably drag Yanzhou down!" ”

"However, if some things are not done at this moment, there will be more variables if they continue to drag on!"

"There is no 100% success in the war, if it is because of some concerns, and looking ahead, what is the difference between me and Yuan Shao?"

"I'll admit it, I have an element of gambling, but this time I'm willing to bet!"

"Wait, you are willing!"

Saying that, Cao Cao's eyes fell on Xi Yu, and his eyes were clearly saying, didn't you tell me about the war with Xuzhou after spring ploughing?

What does it mean not to speak at the moment?

Seeing Cao Cao's eyes, Xi Yu naturally understood in his heart.

Boss Cao has made up his mind, and he even said such a thing as gambling, not to mention that he compares himself with Yuan Shao.

Having said this, Cao Cao's intention to attack Xuzhou has no way to change.

Xi Yu nodded: "Brother, aren't you worried about Hanoi Lu Bu?" ”

"That Lu Bu is not a person who is content with others, although he is currently living under Zhang Yang's men, the latter is also worried about Lu Bu!"

"Although the two of them are safe and sound this time, Zhang Yang will definitely not let Lu Bu stay under his command for too long."

"This time Hanoi is next to my Yanzhou, so it is very likely that Lu Bu will take advantage of the time when my army attacks Xuzhou, and make trouble with my Yanzhou!!"

Xi Yu thought about it and pointed out Lu Bu's question.

When Cao Cao heard this, he didn't take it to heart at all.

"Lu Bu, don't worry, it's just a reckless man!"

……

When Cao Cao's side planned to re-attack Xuzhou, the situation in Xuzhou at that time was also a little complicated.

Inside the city of Xiapi.

Since helping Tao Qian, after Cao Cao retreated, Liu Bei and Guan Zhang have been stationed in Xiapi City.

Tao Qian's thousands of Danyang soldiers had been unconsciously collected by Liu Bei under his command.

Even some of the soldiers under Tian Kai also recognized Liu Bei as the master.

At present, although he lives in Xuzhou, there is a faint trend of getting bigger.

And under this trend, some people have risen to the idea of letting Liu Bei succeed Xuzhou, and even Tao Qian seems to have seen such a result.

Now Tao Qian, since he was seriously ill, has become more and more aware that he may not last long.

The minds of the major families in Xuzhou have been messed up.

There are not many people who are still looking for him now.

"Someone, please General Liu!"

After thinking about it for a long time, Tao Qian found that he seemed to be able to only let the lord of Xuzhou out now, and this candidate, thinking about it carefully, Liu Bei was extremely suitable.

On the one hand, his original surname is Liu, and the world of the Han family belongs to the Liu family.

Second, Liu Bei is a person who is known for his benevolence, and Tao Qian has heard of all his actions in Xuzhou, and he is regarded as a benevolent and righteous gentleman.

If Xuzhou is handed over to the other party, it will not become a beautiful talk.

With Liu Bei's personality, as long as he entrusts Xuzhou to the other party, Liu Bei will inevitably treat his descendants properly.

Third, Cao Cao's desire to covet Xuzhou was clearly revealed, and the current Xuzhou is just a hot potato in the final analysis.

When Tao Qian summoned Liu Bei, Liu Bei, who was in Xiapi City, soon received the news.

"The envoy summoned me?"

After the envoy in the city passed the news to Liu Bei, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart.

During this time, he lived in Xuzhou, and Liu Bei heard some news about Tao Qian's desire to entrust Xuzhou to him.

This is not an idea to calm his mind, but Tao Qian really can't last much time now.

"Big brother, it seems that Tao Envoy Jun really wants to send Xuzhou to Big Brother!"

Zhang Fei smiled on his face, and seeing that Liu Bei was not in a hurry to get up, he couldn't help but start urging.

"Big brother, what are you waiting for, let's go, go over and take over the big seal of Xuzhou Prefecture!"

Hearing Zhang Fei say this, Liu Bei turned his head and couldn't help glaring at the other party.

"Yi Dexiu wants to talk nonsense!"

Tao Qian let it be Tao Qian's own business not to let Xuzhou, although he was a little hot in his heart, but this kind of thinking could not be expressed.

Right now, Zhang Fei is babbling, this situation seems to be as if he is already eager to take Xuzhou over.

If this thing gets out, what do outsiders think of him Liu Bei.

Even if Tao Qian really wanted to entrust Xuzhou to himself at the moment, he couldn't accept it.

Liu Bei knew in his heart that the greater the interests in front of him, the more sober he naturally became.

It is not a good thing to accept Xuzhou rashly, not to mention that he is just living in Xuzhou, and even at the moment the whole Xuzhou does not know how many families are staring at the position of Xuzhou Mu.

As a guest living person, I really thought it was such a simple thing to get to Xuzhou.

"What are you worried about, Tao Lao'er wants to give up the position of Xuzhou Mu to you, do others dare to say anything?"

"If anyone really dares to talk nonsense, the Zhangba snake spear in my old Zhang's hand will not agree at all!"

Zhang Fei didn't know why Liu Bei was looking ahead, and Guan Yu on the side didn't have too many ideas.

He felt that his eldest brother had taken over the position of Xuzhou Mu, and there was no problem with that.

With his eldest brother's ability, serving as a small Xuzhou pastor is naturally not a problem.

"Okay, Yide, you don't have to talk nonsense, since the envoy summoned you, I'll pack up and meet the envoy later!"

After thinking about it, Liu Bei said to Zhang Fei again, and the other party in the province talked nonsense after going out.

On his side, he doesn't plan to take over Xuzhou's position at the moment, don't talk nonsense outside when the time comes, as if he can't wait.

Zhang Fei hummed and didn't speak.

After the three brothers packed their bags, they immediately began to move in the direction of Xuzhou City.

At the same time, the Chen family in Xuzhou!

Inside the Chen Mansion.

"My son, then Liu Xuande is interested in taking over as the lord of Xuzhou?"

Chen Qi asked his son Chen Deng.

The latter nodded: "Father, I see that Liu Bei has a furrow in his chest, and he is a person who has achieved great things, but this person values his name!" ”

"This matter in Xuzhou, I'm afraid you and I have to contribute!"

It seems that it is not simple for Liu Bei to take over the position of Xuzhou smoothly, and they have to ask their father and son to come forward in person.

This time there is such a rumor in Xuzhou, and the Chen family has made some moves in it.

And now, Tao Qian's heart has risen to this meaning, Chen Deng has seen Tao Qian some time ago.

After the other party met, he asked him what he thought of Liu Xuande.

After hearing Tao Qian's inquiry, Chen Deng already felt that Tao Qian was ready.
