Zhang Liao's five-flavor mixed Chen returned to the camp and served the roast pig's trotters wrapped in lotus leaves with both hands.

Two miles of road, with fast horses.

Zhang Liao is comparable to the delivery of the courier brother.

The roasted pig's trotters are still hot, and the lotus leaves can't contain the burnt aroma.

The moment Zhang Liao entered the account, everyone's nostrils widened.

Cao Cao frowned:

"What is this?"

"The pig's trotters roasted by this dragon will not dare to be used for exclusive use, so they will bring it back to the lord and present it to the lord."

Zhang Liao put down the pig's trotters and hugged his fists to salute, but he didn't know whether his face was ashamed or his blood was surging, and his red face was sweaty.

While Cao Cao went to untie the lotus leaves, Guo Jia asked curiously:

"General Zhang didn't go to investigate the fire in Hefei, how to bring this thing back"

"Sir doesn't know, Hefei is not on fire, it is actually Long Xiang who deliberately lit the fire, he is to roast pork in the city." Zhang Liaoyan stood aside awkwardly.

Cao Chun hurriedly accosted and asked, "Wenyuan, you make it clearer, why can't I understand?" Isn't Hefei short of food? Why do you still eat barbecue?"

"Alas, it's ridiculous"

Zhang Liao was about to explain, Cao Cao opened the lotus leaf, saw that the pig's trotters were burnt and attractive, and he couldn't help but talk to himself when he smelled it.

"Well, these trotters smell good."

Seeing that Cao Cao was about to lower his mouth, Cao Xiu, who was in charge of security, stepped forward and reminded him with a fist in spite of offending Zhang Liao: "Lord, Long Xiang is very cunning, you beware of this meat fraud." ”

Cao Cao picked up the pig's trotters and looked at it, it may be due to the shortage of food, he has not eaten meat for several days, and when he sees the food that is full of color and flavor, he can't refuse for a while.

Then he asked Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, let's talk about it in detail first, isn't Long Xiang short of food?" Where did he get his pork? ”

"Ahem. Long Yunqi said yesterday that there was a shortage of food, but "

"But what?"

"But he said that there is no shortage of meat, and he has been tired of eating meat recently."

As soon as Zhang Liao's words fell, the tent suddenly became agitated.

The heart said that Long Xiang is this human words? Even in the rich and noble house of Xudu, few people complain about eating meat.

"What a big breath."

Cao Cao snorted coldly, took out the dagger from his boots, and grabbed the roasted pig's trotters and split them in two.

Cao Xiu saw that Cao Cao was going to eat, and couldn't help but remind again:

"My lord. Think twice."

"Haha."

Cao Cao shook his head lightly, grabbed a piece and handed it to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, you have worked hard all the way, let's share and eat, by the way, take a look at Long Xiang's craftsmanship, since he is roasting and eating in the city, there is no problem in thinking about it." ”

"Thank you, Lord."

Zhang Liao took it with both hands and gnawed it, the pigskin was soft and glutinous, and his teeth were very delicious, not only did he not shirk but also took the lead, all because of his excellent emotional intelligence.

There is not much meat for a pig's trotter, and Cao Cao's move is obviously to let him taste it first.

Zhang Liao believed that Long Xiang would not be so despicable as to be poisoned, so he was happy to try the dishes for Boss Cao, and most importantly, he also wanted to taste Long Xiang's craftsmanship, otherwise he would have smelled so long in the city just now.

"Fragrant, really fragrant."

Hearing Zhang Liao's sigh and not showing any discomfort, Cao Cao couldn't wait to eat.

Cao Cao tried to roast pig's trotters for the first time, and I have to say that this cooking technique is very good, and it was conquered the moment it was eaten, and it was gnawed clean after a while.

The rest of the people in the tent licked their mouths and watched the whole thing, thinking to themselves, is this thing really so delicious? But the expressions of enjoyment on the faces of the two could not be pretended.

Half a pig's trotter was not enjoyable at all, Cao Cao threw the last bone on the table and began to talk to himself:

"Long Xiang is very good at eating, pork tastes good when roasted like this, but unfortunately it's too little to be enjoyable, and I don't know how other parts of pork taste when roasted."

"It should be not bad, I see that Xu Chu eats a mouth full of oil, so he is very satisfied with the wine."

"Wen Yuan, don't say it."

Cao Cao got up to interrupt Zhang Liao, turned to look at Cao Xiu and instructed: "Wen Lie, immediately upload my general order, and the whole army will pull out the camp and start the village!" ”

"What?"

Cao Xiu was puzzled when he heard it, he thought he was going to enter Hefei and take his brothers to eat meat, but he didn't expect to leave so soon, didn't he say in the morning that he would wait until tomorrow?

Cao Cao explained: "There is no point in staying in Hefei, it is better to return to Xudu earlier, and I will also invite you to eat roast pork." ”

"Isn't there a ready-made one in Hefei? Isn't the lord going to give it a try? Cao Xiu reminded in a low voice.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Cao Cao waved his hand and shook his head: "Meat is more expensive than grain, Long Xiang is short of food and not lack of meat, do you think it is possible?" ”

"But he kissed it."

Guo Jia interrupted Cao Xiu and helped Cao Cao explain:

"Long Xiang must be exaggerating, he may also guess that we are short of food, so he deliberately barbecued meat in the city to stimulate and disintegrate the morale of our army, Ming Gong chose to withdraw at this moment It is very wise."

"Oh, I'll give the order right away."

Cao Xiu had just come out of the big tent with his front foot, and Xiahou Yuan stood up and questioned:

"Why does everyone know that our army is short of food? This time we fought with Sun Quan in Huainan, and Long Xiang remained neutral from beginning to end, and I seriously doubt that he was responsible for burning the boat, and only in this way can it be in line with the interests of the fisherman. ”

"Wonderful to think of this, it proves that you are thinking hard, worthy of your words, but"

Cao Cao changed his words, frowned, and said: "Long Xiang and Sun Quan have been secretly communicating for a long time, judging from Zhou Yu's performance in the past few days, it must be Jiangdong's ship-burning business, and it is understandable to analyze the intelligence to Hefei." ”

"So that's the case," Xiahou Yuan suddenly realized.

Guo Jia continued to remind: "Lu Zijing is in the new city, maybe Long Xiang is barbecing meat in the city, it is also a strategy offered by Zhou Yu, once we recklessly attack the city, Jiangdong is likely to attack from behind, which is also in line with the benefits of the fisherman." ”

"Hey" Xiahou Yuan nodded straightly: "It seems to be the case." ”

"Let's go, take care of him Zhou Yu and Long Xiang." Cao Cao left his seat and walked forward, sighing: "Huainan, we will still come, now follow me back to Xudu to eat barbecue." ”

"Yui." The crowd echoed in unison.

The army then drove back to Shouchun, and when it reached the vicinity of Hefei, the breeze carried the fragrance of barbecue and dispersed, which made the soldiers of Cao Jun swallow non-stop.

"What does it smell so good?"

"I don't know."

"It seems to be floating from Hefei."

"I heard that there is roast pork in the city."

"Pork roasted? And how about this way of eating? There are fewer charred meats, it's too extravagant, right? ”

"It's like you've eaten it, I heard that Hefei is not short of meat at all."

"How is that possible?"

The soldiers discussed while walking, Zhang Liao forgot to restrain the troops, and at this time it had spread to other battalion headquarters, and they all knew that the days in Hefei were very good, and they were tired of eating meat.

Zhang Liao was so shocked that he was sweating when he got the news, and immediately beat his horse back to his team and ordered it to be stopped.

Cao Cao in front of the army also smelled the smell of barbecue in the air, and he couldn't help but go back to Xu Du to eat barbecue, so he asked Cao Xiu to send someone to Shouchun to prepare, and asked Xiahoudun to prepare a few pigs for a celebration banquet.

Zhang Liao was about to return to the front of the army after finishing his discipline, when he suddenly saw Cao Chun beating a horse and looking for him.

"Wenhe has something?"

"The lord said that he should know the gift when he received a gift, and he asked Wen Yuan to say goodbye to Long Xiang, and once again reminded Lujiang of the matter of Taishou."

"Oh, I can save it."

Zhang Liao's emotional intelligence is extremely high, he carefully pondered Cao Cao's intentions, is it for me to ask for two more pieces of meat? Isn't this a homeless beggar?
