At the foot of Puyang City, Cao Ying's stronghold.
Cao Cao is back. After disappearing for a day, he is finally back...
When all the generals and military advisors heard the news, they rushed to the Chinese army's tent.
Now, among the three armies, a series of problems need to be solved urgently.
The supply of food is about to become unsustainable. Should we retreat?
Who can rival Lu Bu's unparalleled martial arts?
Should we believe the surrender of the Tian family, the richest man in Puyang?
These decisions related to the entire situation in Yanzhou and the future of Cao Jun are all waiting for Cao Cao to make a decision!
Everyone rushed into the Chinese army's tent and immediately looked confused...
After Cao Cao returned to camp, he didn't immediately convene the generals to discuss matters in the main camp. Instead, he... went to the kitchen?
Uh... kitchen? It's the kitchen where the foreman cooks!
The officers and soldiers of the three armies are all impatient. Is your lord Cao Cao still in the mood to make food?
Having said that, the food is almost gone, what can we use to make food...
Tap tap tap…
The pace was quick, and everyone rushed to the fire room quickly. Their expressions were extremely serious. When did it happen? It was advancing or retreating. My lord, could you please tell me, go to the fire room to escape? That would solve the problem.
What?
…
Outside the fire room.
The sound of rapid footsteps sounded continuously, but soon, for just a moment, it stopped...
As for the reason, a strong fragrance from the shop spread into everyone's noses. It was such a refreshing fragrance, so mouth-watering.
This is?
Without exception, a big question mark appeared in everyone's mind. Xiahou Dun opened the curtain of the kitchen, and everyone discovered that Cao Cao, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, was patiently instructing the soldiers to cook the ingredients.
It seems that we can no longer use words like cooking...
The knowledgeable person recognized that on the fire, in the iron pot, it seemed that lard was constantly bubbling.
Pigs were not castrated in this era, did not taste very good, and were very unpopular.
Although many butchers know that pork can be fried into oil, and cooking with oil is very fragrant, lard still rarely appears in kitchens, let alone military camps.
Now, I never thought that Cao Cao was actually instructing the cooks to use lard to fry food...
This approach is incredible enough.
But, in fact, what was even more incredible was what happened later. When everyone saw clearly the fried ingredients in the iron pot, they subconsciously shuddered, and some of the timid ones even took a few steps back.
Locusts…locusts…
Cao Cao actually ordered people to fry locusts.
Not only was it fried, Cao Cao also scooped some out with a spoon, spread it with his hands, blew on it, and finally stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.
The sound of "crunch, crunch" is endless...
Is Cao Cao chewing? Locusts?
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. This scene was too unbelievable and terrifying. Even the most wanton fantasy would not dare to associate Cao Cao, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, with the locusts, right?
It seemed that the noise outside the door attracted Cao Cao's attention.
Cao Cao turned around and saw everyone, but he seemed quite calm and smiled slightly. "Come on, have a taste, this stuff tastes great!"
Well…
With a bang, everyone couldn't help but take a deep gulp of saliva. Can this... locust be eaten? And... it also tastes great?
Subconsciously, everyone took another step back!
"Yuan Rang, you try it first!"
Cao Cao saw that no one dared to try, so he took the lead in calling his clan brother Xiahou Dun...
call…
Xiahou Dun took a deep breath. He was rejecting it in his heart, but Meng De said it again! He couldn't make it difficult for him to get down the stairs in front of so many people, right?
Finally, Xiahou Dun took a deep breath, stepped forward quickly, picked up a fried locust, and without hesitation, stuffed it into his mouth with his eyes closed, his expression looking very painful.
I chewed it hard and made a final "crunch" sound...
Huh…
I never thought that it would be better if I didn’t chew it. Once I chewed it, I felt it tasted pretty good!
There's no hint of the disgusting taste of locusts in my subconscious mind. It's clearly crispy, chicken-flavored, even crispy and delicious. I don't know how many times better than chicken!
"Yummy, this thing is delicious!"
Xiahou Dun couldn't help but open his mouth and shouted.
While speaking, he picked up another plate.
He is a warrior and has always been heroic. Now, he swallowed more than a dozen in one breath... This feeling is so satisfying and refreshing!
Oil-pressed locusts turned out to be so delicious that Xiahou Dun thought he could eat ten more plates!
Now, with Zhuyu in front, everyone rushed to taste this gluttonous feast of fried locusts...
Cao Cao took the initiative to get out of the way, stood aside, grinned, and laughed loudly.
I'm thinking...
Yi Xiaotian, what a strange person, he can understand people's hearts and understand the situation, that's all! Dare, he also understands these insects! He can also turn natural disasters into food!
Hehe, it seems that everything can be turned into magic with Yi Xiaotian!
Wonderful, wonderful!
Locust, locust, I didn’t expect that this disgusting existence like you could actually be a magical weapon that can fill the bellies of the three armies and help our army achieve a complete victory!
…
See everyone having a great time eating.
Cao Cao simply ordered, "Brothers, please eat enough, cheer up, and prepare to attack the city tonight!"
Well…
As soon as he said these words, Xiahou Dun was shocked. "Meng De? Are you planning to believe Tian?"
"Haha..." A sly smile appeared on Cao Cao's lips. "Believe it? It's impossible to believe it in this life! It's just... Lu Bu has a good plan, and I, Cao Cao, have a wall ladder..."
Click till then.
Here, Cao Cao didn't say much...
After eating this feast of fried locusts, he would have to summon all the generals to make detailed arrangements!
Lu Bu and Chen Gong set up a lot of ambushes at the south gate, so... the other gates that are not guarded will be the breakthrough, haha... This battle, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, it is very interesting at the end!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked confident.
Suddenly...
He thought of another thing, or rather thought of another person, a God of War who Yi Xiaotian mentioned was so powerful that he could rival Lu Bu.
"Yuan Rang, Zi Xiao, and Zi Lian, please quickly find a strong man named Dian Wei from among the three armies!"
Hmm... Dian Wei? Never heard of this person?
Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun were slightly startled...
"Meng De? What is this man's ability that makes you value him so much?" Xiahou Dun couldn't help but ask. "The war is about to begin, so why are you looking for him among the three armies?"
"Haha!" Cao Cao laughed. "This man can rival Lu Bu on the battlefield!"
Cao Cao's words were not loud, but his tone was firm...
Huo, rival Lu Bu?
Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong were both shocked. They had all fought against Lu Bu. Even if it was just a few rounds, they could tell that Lu Bu's martial arts was so high that it was rarely seen in the world...
However, can Dian Wei, a nameless soldier in a mere military camp, be able to compete with Lu Bu?
Cao Hong didn't believe it, and Xiahou Dun didn't believe it even more!
But at this moment.
"Report...the flag of the former army camp was blown down by the wind, and four or five soldiers were unable to lift it."
A soldier quickly ran over and reported hurriedly. "A soldier named Dian Wei stood up and carried the banner... Former general Li Dian, Le Jin felt that this person was not simple, and ordered him to report the matter.
To my lord!"
Huh... Dian Wei!
Hearing this name, Cao Cao's spirit was shaken. He couldn't find it without wearing iron shoes, and it took no effort to find it!
Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong were shocked. Compared to the name Dian Wei, who carried the flag of the former army camp, they couldn't believe it even more!
You know, the marching flags in ancient times weighed hundreds of kilograms. Not to mention one person, even five or six strong men might not be able to carry them together...
But... this Dian Wei can carry it with just his own strength! This is... natural divine power!
"Gudong"
Xiahou Dun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and couldn't help but say, "Meng De, the pawn Dian Wei you mentioned doesn't look simple!"
Cao Hong also nodded repeatedly. He was convinced, completely convinced. If it were him, the three of them wouldn't be able to carry the banner of the former army!
Ha ha…
Cao Cao smiled heartily and murmured in his heart.
"The person recommended by Brother Yi is indeed extraordinary!"
With this in mind, he hurriedly called to the soldiers. "Lead the way and take me to meet this strong man named Dian Wei!"
While talking, several people walked quickly towards the former army camp...
…
There is a strong general;
Food and grass are available;
The plan is in place!
The three armies are ready for the battle of Puyang!
