I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 135

A slow attack can certainly reduce casualties, but the supply of food is a big problem.

The soldiers of the Cao army during 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 advisers stepped forward.

Who is this guy?
Cheng Yu.

Under Cao Cao's command, civil servants are like clouds, and fierce generals are like rain.

Cheng Yu may not be very eye-catching among these advisers, but he has special skills!

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

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

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

"My lord, don't worry too much about food."

"After repeated battles, our soldiers have been worn out, and the food itself can last for a while. Moreover, there are dry rations found from those captives."

"It shouldn't be a big problem to supply our own soldiers with these grains."

"As for the captives, it's even simpler. If there are any "dead horses" on the battlefield, let's just bring them back and boil some broth for these captives to drink!"

"In short, it's okay to prevent these prisoners from starving to death!" Cheng Yu said his suggestion.

A dead horse on the battlefield?

Are there dead horses on the battlefield?Really!

However, where can these dead horses take the turn of prisoners!
Although horse meat is not delicious, but no matter what, it is better than dry food, right?
For those dead horses on the battlefield, Cao Jun still has to make broth to drink?

Not to mention the meat, the captives can't even chew on the bones!

So, what is Cheng Yu's "dead horse"?
The "dead horse" Cheng Yu mentioned was actually a corpse on the battlefield.

The meat from the corpses was picked off and used as horse meat to make broth for the captives.

In this way, the saved food will be enough for our own soldiers to eat for a period of time.

It was not the first time Cheng Yu had done the use of human flesh as military rations!
Back then, when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, there was also a shortage of food for the frontline army, so Cheng Yu used human flesh to dry it into jerky and used it as food for the soldiers to satisfy their hunger.

This time, he said that he gave human flesh to the captives instead of his own soldiers, which has been restrained a lot.

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

Everyone knew Cheng Yu very well, so they naturally knew what Cheng Yu meant.

It is morally unjustifiable to use human flesh as military rations.

However, this is indeed the only way to solve the problem so far.

As the saying goes, kindness does not command soldiers.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and issued an order, saying: "The entire front has changed from a fierce attack to a slow attack, focusing on siege and supplemented by attack."

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

After saying this, Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu, and ordered: "Since the supply of food and grass must be sufficient, no rumors are allowed to spread in the army."

"Otherwise, I'll take your head!"

Cheng Yu naturally understood what Cao Cao meant, and quickly responded with cupped hands, "I understand."

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

Ju Yi also beat the drum to raise his account, and gathered his generals to discuss countermeasures.

It will be day four tomorrow.

Judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be a big problem to hold on for five days.

Now, the problem Ju Yi and the others are facing is how to get out of the way.

The front, left and right wings are now Cao Jun, although there is a retreat in the rear.

However, this is indeed a typical tactic of encircling three queues. As long as you withdraw from the rear, Cao Jun will immediately encircle on three sides and start pushing from the rear.

At that time, you will have to be chased by others, hug your buttocks and beat you.

Ju Yi beat the drum to gather the generals, and in the big tent, the faces of these generals were all very downcast.

Obviously, even if Cao Jun slowed down his offensive, the situation on Yuan Jun's side is not optimistic.

After discussing some countermeasures, I didn't think of any suitable method.

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

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

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

He, Ju Yi, had already bought time for Yuan Shao to escape, counting the days now, Yuan Shao would almost arrive in Ye City.

Even if Cao Cao wanted to catch up now, he definitely couldn't catch up.

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

Many of Yuan Jun's generals thought so in their hearts, thinking that if Ju Yi could join Cao Cao, this would be the best result.

However, with Jiang Qi's lesson in hand, no one dared to persuade Ju Yi to surrender.

Jiang Qi persuaded Ju Yi to surrender, and Ju Yi chopped off his head with a sword. This is still vivid in my mind, right in front of my eyes.

After the meeting was over, several generals gathered together to discuss in private.

They all felt that they should rely on Prime Minister Cao.

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

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

A good day chooses the master to serve, and a good bird chooses a tree to live in.

These partial generals all felt that taking refuge in Prime Minister Cao was the way to stardom!

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

As soon as the words fell, the other general hesitated and said: "The problem is, we don't have any credit! If we just go to seek refuge with Prime Minister Cao, can he want us?"

"Let me tell you! Why don't we tie up General Ju Yi and release General Le Jin again. Then, if we go to seek refuge with Prime Minister Cao, wouldn't that be double the credit?" Another general suggested.

This is really, not afraid of bad things, but afraid of bad people.

After fighting for several days, Ju Yi finally won the battle, and there will be more troubles behind.

"This..." the first general who proposed to join Cao Cao hesitated and said, "General Ju Yi is good to us. We tied General Ju Yi to join Prime Minister Cao. Isn't this a little bit of a disgrace to General Ju Yi?"

"We tied up General Ju Yi to take him to join the Ming Lord. We will not kill him."

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

"In this way, isn't that a way to get the best of both worlds?" The general on the side added.

The three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang.

When these few biases are combined together, there is really a solution.

They all felt that this method worked, so they bravely split up and acted.

Some forged Ju Yi's military order to release Le Jin.

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

Ju Yi must be captivated before he can do anything, otherwise, with these partial generals, who can tie Ju Yi up!
