A delayed offensive can certainly alleviate casualties, but the availability of food is a big problem.

The soldiers of the Cao army in the war needed food, and the captured prisoners also needed food, but where did so much food come from?

At this time, one of Cao Cao's advisors stepped forward.

Who is this person?

Cheng Yu.

Under Cao Cao, Wenchen is like a cloud, and the fierce generals are like rain.

Cheng Yu may not be inconspicuous among these advisors, but he has a specialty!

What is Cheng Yu's specialty, that is, to engage in military rations.

As far as military rations are concerned, Cheng Yu is quite professional.

Hearing that Cao Cao was worried about military rations, no, Cheng Yu took the initiative to stand up.

"Lord, don't worry too much about food."

"After repeated battles, our soldiers have suffered losses, and the food itself can last a little longer. Moreover, there are dry food found from those captives. ”

"This grain should not be a big problem to supply our own soldiers."

"As for the captives, it's even simpler. On the battlefield, what are the "dead horses", let's just bring the "dead horses" back and boil some broth for these captives to drink! ”

"In short, if you don't let these captives starve to death, that's fine!" Cheng Yu said his own suggestion.

A dead horse on the battlefield?

Are there dead horses on the battlefield? Really!

But where will these dead horses be taken prisoners!

Horse meat is not tasty, but it is better than dry food, right?

Those dead horses on the battlefield, Cao Jun himself still has to boil broth to drink?

Not to mention meat, these captives can't gnaw on bones!

So, what is the "dead horse" that Cheng Yu said?

The "dead horse" that Cheng Yu said is actually the corpse on the battlefield.

The meat from the carcass was removed and used as horse meat to make broth for the captives.

In this way, the food saved will be enough for your soldiers to eat for a while.

It's not the first time Cheng Yu has done the matter of using human flesh as military food!

Back then, when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, there was also a shortage of military food on the front line, so Cheng Yu used human flesh to dry meat and serve as military food for the soldiers to satisfy their hunger.

This time, he said that he would give human flesh to the captives instead of his own soldiers, which has been much more restrained.

As soon as Cheng Yu said this, there was silence in the big tent, and there was no one to speak.

Everyone knows Cheng Yu very well, and naturally knows what Cheng Yu meant.

The use of human flesh as military rations is morally unjustifiable.

However, this is the only solution to the problem so far.

As the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of soldiers.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and gave an order, saying: "The whole line has changed from a fierce attack to a slow attack, with the siege as the main and the attack as the supplement. ”

"In addition, Cheng Yu was appointed as the governor's grain officer, responsible for the supply of grain and grass for the three armies."

After saying this, Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu and ordered: "The grain and grass must be supplied, and no rumors should be spread in the army." ”

"Otherwise, I'll have your head killed!"

Cheng Yu naturally understood what Cao Cao meant, and hurriedly replied: "The minister understands." ”

After Cao Cao's side changed its strategic deployment, the pressure on Yuan Jun's side was greatly reduced.

Ju Yi also beat the drum and raised the tent, gathered his generals together, and prepared to discuss countermeasures.

Tomorrow is dawn, and that's the fourth day.

Judging from the current situation, holding on for five days should not be a big problem.

Now, the problem they face is how to get out of the way.

On the front, the left and right flanks are now Cao Army, although there is a way out of retreat in the rear.

However, this is indeed a typical tactic of encircling three ques, as long as you withdraw from the rear, the Cao army will immediately encircle from three sides and start from behind.

At that point, you'll have to be picked up by people and spanked in the ass.

Ju Yi beat the drums and gathered the generals, and in the big tent, the faces of these generals were very low.

Obviously, even if Cao's army slowed down its offensive, the situation on Yuan's side was not optimistic.

After discussing the countermeasures, I didn't think of any suitable way.

There is no way, Ju Yi can only take one step at a time.

In fact, is there really no way to protect these soldiers?

There is also a way, that is, Ju Yi took these soldiers to surrender to Cao Cao.

He Ju Yi has already bought time for Yuan Shao to escape, and now counting the days, Yuan Shao is about to arrive in Yecheng.

Cao Cao just wants to chase now, but he definitely can't catch up.

It stands to reason that Ling Juyi is also worthy of Yuan Shao, even if he surrenders, there is nothing wrong with it.

These generals of the Yuan army, many people thought so in their hearts, thinking that if Ju Yi could defect to Cao Cao, this would be the best result.

However, with Jiang Qi's experience in front of him, no one dared to open his mouth to persuade Ju Yi to surrender.

Jiang Qi persuaded Ju Yi to surrender, and the matter of being cut off by Ju Yi's head with a sword is still vivid, right in front of him.

After the meeting ended, several generals gathered together to discuss privately.

They all felt that they should take refuge in Prime Minister Cao.

After the defeat in the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was a grasshopper after the autumn, and he couldn't grow up.

After this battle, Prime Minister Cao Cheng was the biggest prince in the world.

A good day chooses the Lord to serve, and a good bird chooses a tree to perch.

These generals unanimously feel that taking refuge in Prime Minister Cao Cheng is an avenue of stars!

"General Ju Yi is unwilling to take refuge in Prime Minister Cao, I want to see, let's go and seek refuge in Prime Minister Cao!" A partiality general suggested.

As soon as the words fell, another general hesitated: "The problem is, we don't have any credit!" Just go to Prime Minister Cao Cheng like this, can people want us? ”

"You want me to say! Let's tie up General Ju Yi and release General Lejin again. In this way, let's go to Prime Minister Cao again, isn't that double the credit? Another general proposed.

This is really, not afraid of no good things, but afraid of no good people.

Ju Yi has been fighting for so many days, and he finally won the battle, and there is still chaos behind him.

"This" The first general who proposed to defect to Cao Cao hesitated: "General Ju Yi is good to us, let's tie up General Ju Yi to go to Prime Minister Cao Cheng, isn't this matter a bit sorry for General Ju Yi!" ”

"We kidnapped General Ju Yi, this is to take him to the Ming Lord, and we will not harm his life."

"If Prime Minister Cao wants to kill General Juyi, let's intercede for him and let the prime minister accept him!"

"Isn't that the best of both worlds?" The partiality general on the side added.

Three stinkers, beating Zhuge Liang.

As soon as these generals are combined, they really come up with a solution.

They all thought that this solution was easy, so they had the courage to go their separate ways.

There are forgeries of Ju Yi's military orders to go to Lejin.

There are also a few who prepared drugs and put them in Ju Yi's meals, ready to fascinate Ju Yi and take him to Cao Cao.

You have to charm Ju Yi before you can do it, otherwise, just these partial generals, who can tie up Ju Yi!
