Chapter 35: Cheng Yu is a ruthless man
Cheng Yu is a ruthless person.
If you look at the history of the troubled times, there are two words written all over the book, it is cannibalism!
As a ruthless person, Cheng Yu absolutely dares to eat people in troubled times.
"Sir, are we really going to do this?"
A soldier who was following Cheng Yu asked in a trembling voice at this time.
They were in a hidden forest outside the city, surrounded by hundreds of corpses, men, women and children, all of whom they had looted from all the counties and villages in Yanzhou, and the corpses of ordinary people who had died of starvation.
"If we don't, there will be more people starving."
Cheng Yu's eyes were bloodshot, but his face was full of determination, and he said in a firm tone: "Use the dead to save the living, they can be regarded as worthy of death, and we are not too lacking in virtue." The flesh of the dead is cut off, the human features are removed, and then it is smoked into jerky, and mixed into the grain, which we still have a few days of food, and we need it for emergency relief. ”
The corpse lay on the snow.
Now it's snowing, it's cold, it's not rotting and stinking.
When the soldiers heard this, they drew their swords helplessly.
In troubled times, it is not strange for Yi Zi to eat, if you eat people, as long as you are ruthless, you can do it, but no matter how ruthless Cheng Yu is, when he sees the decomposed corpse, he still feels a little uncomfortable, but in order to survive, for the sake of more people, he is completely open.
"If it gets out, Mr. will be infamy!"
The soldier said again.
Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "For the sake of the lord, I don't care!" It's infamy, it's not worth mentioning! ”
He could imagine what would happen if it got out.
Either Cao Cao carried this infamy with him, or Cao Cao killed him and gave an explanation to the people outside.
But no matter what the consequences are, Cheng Yu really doesn't care.
He is such a person, once he identifies Cao Cao, he will not betray again, and it doesn't matter what he does.
"Sir!"
The soldier's voice choked, and he thought that the gentleman was actually great.
——
Chen Zhou and his team finally returned to the outside of Puyang City.
Not long after entering the city, I saw Cao Cao leading people to meet him.
"Watarituki!"
Cao Cao walked over excitedly and said, "It's hard work, where is our food?" ”
Seeing that Chen Zhou was back, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Zhou shook his head and said, "There is no food, but ...... The old classics, all opened! ”
Suddenly!
Those carriages, countless belongings, appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
There were more than 100 carriages in total, and they were either gold or jewelry, all of which were valuable things, and they were also hard currency, and in the Han Dynasty, which had developed to the stage of bartering, these things were the money that could be used to buy grain.
"So much possessions!"
Guo Jia said in shock: "Duzhi, where did you get it?" ”
Chen Zhou said: "Where did you get it, it's inconvenient for me to say, just ask Gongzi and Lao Dian later, there are more than 110 cars here, enough for you to buy grain, right?" ”
Someone immediately went to quickly count them, and sure enough, there were more than 100 cars.
It's full of possessions.
The wealth had been exposed, and Cao Cao hurriedly transferred troops over to protect these belongings and pull them back to the treasury first.
Chen Zhou deliberately exposed his whiteness and showed it to those who had grain to sell, so that they would know that Cao Cao was about to buy grain, and go back to prepare his own grain.
"Watayuki, thanks to you this time!"
Cao Cao gratefully took Chen Zhou's hand.
The two big men held hands in public, Chen Zhou felt weird, so he could only withdraw his hand and said: "This is what I should do, you ask Gongzi and Lao Dian for the specific situation, if the lord has nothing else to do, I want to go back and rest first." ”
Cao Cao knew that Chen Zhou could give advice and solve problems, but he definitely didn't want to take care of things.
It's just a fictitious position.
With the property in front of him alone, this fictitious Cao Cao can give it to him unconditionally, and he doesn't care about anything if he wants to, it's no problem at all.
"Lao Dian, send the ferry back."
Cao Cao said enthusiastically: "Move some more gold and send it to Duzhi's house, and the others will go back with me to discuss how to buy food." ”
Although they couldn't understand where Chen Zhou got so much money, with these things, they could solve their urgent needs and stabilize the morale of the army.
You can put your worries aside for a while.
"Buying grain? What to buy grain? ”
At this time, Cheng Yu happened to come back from outside the city.
And a cart of meat that was already jerky.
Although the crisis of food shortages has not yet officially erupted, starvation has already begun, especially for those displaced who have left their homes because of the war.
"Zhongdeok is back."
Cao Cao said: "Mr. helped us find more than 100 truckloads of belongings, enough for us to buy food, but ...... Is that the food prepared by Zhongde? ”
His gaze was on the cart of jerky.
It doesn't look like a lot, but in this environment, it is not easy to prepare some food, Cao Cao said: "It's hard work, let's go!" Let's go back first and bring the food with us. ”
Cheng Yu was still confused, and he didn't really want to let them know about the meat, but he had no choice but to take the meat back with him.
Council Hall.
Cao Ang and Dian Wei told the whole process.
Everyone present was amazed.
"Doing so is detrimental to the principles of heaven, how can it be like this?"
Xun Yu was worried and couldn't accept it.
Cheng Yu's eyes lit up.
Oh, yes!
Why didn't I think that I could go to the tomb robbery, this is a hundred times better than cannibalism, or the idea of Watari is better!
"Sir said that taking the things of the dead and saving the living is not harmful to the principles of heaven, it is still merit!"
Cao Ang had no choice but to explain: "We don't destroy the coffin and the body, we just take the property, and seal the royal tomb after taking it." ”
Guo Jia said: "It's still bold to cross! ”
"People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps, but really?"
Zhong Xuan seems to be more interested in this.
Cao Ang had no way to explain this, so he could only look at Dian Wei.
Everyone else looked at Dian Wei, and the ghost blowing the lamp was beyond their cognition.
"Sir, it was an agreement between the living and the dead."
Dian Wei saw the "ghost blowing the lamp" with his own eyes, and said in a very solemn tone: "The dead are willing to let us in to get the property, so they use candles as an agreement, once the candles are blown out, it means that we have taken enough, and blowing the lamp is a warning." If we continue to take and refuse to go, we will definitely die inside, and the candle we were in the southeast corner at that time, which was really extinguished for no reason, was the ghost blowing the lamp. ”
In the meeting hall, there was silence at first.
"Watari still has the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods?"
Xi Zhong said in surprise.
In this way, isn't Chen Zhou capable of anything and omnipotent?
That's kind of amazing!
"Congratulations to my lord, for getting an all-round talent like Wataruki!"
Xun You congratulated.
Cao Cao said loudly: "I have crossed it, why worry about the injustice of the world?" ”
Ha ha......
As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Mr. Cheng, where did you get so much meat?"
Cao Ren suddenly lifted it, and the strips of cloth covered by Cheng Yu's car were filled with jerky, and the pieces looked quite delicious.
In today's environment, can you still get so much meat?
Cao Cao and the others were stunned, and they felt that Cheng Yu was also powerful!
You can even get your hands on the meat.
"Don't!"
Cheng Yu wanted to stop it, but it was too late, he didn't dare to expose this kind of shady thing, and now he lowered his head helplessly and said: "Lord, I'm sorry for you, I was wrong." ”
