Chapter 689 The two black hands of Cao Cao and Dong Hu(1/2)
Snowflakes floated in the sky again. Chen San looked up at the floating snowflakes. He was about to curse God, but a biting cold wind suddenly came, his body shivered, and he couldn't help but lower his neck, put his hands tightly under his armpits, keeping the last bit of temperature as much as possible. He was just waiting for him to look at the team ahead...
"Brothers...brothers..."
"General Cao promised that three liters of grain a day, my brothers were hungry for a day. Is this three liters of grain a day?
Li Ting, the commander of Qingzhou military quota, threw a steamed bun on the snow. Seeing this scene, Chen San's Adam's apple couldn't help but move. Without waiting for him to feel sorry for him, more than ten men kicked over the wooden barrel in anger, and half of the big steamed bun rolled all over the ground with a big steamed bun. At this moment...
"Do you want to rebel-"
The riot soldiers suddenly calmed down and looked at Cao Ren who was walking towards him in great strides.
"Bang!"
Cao Ren whipped the unlucky man Chen San with a whip. He was about to cry out in pain, but he was kicked again the next moment...
"I just depend on who dares to rebel-"
Cao Ren pointed at everyone with a whip, walked up to Li Ting, and pointed at the wooden barrel kicked over by the angry soldiers, and at the steamed buns stained with soil and snow.
"Eat!"
...
"Eat—"
Cao Ren was furious, and Li Ting's eyes became more and more angry. He suddenly tore open his worn-out clothes, revealing a scar on his chest.
"Come……"
"I have the kind of way to follow my chest-"
Li Ting took a step forward, and hundreds of soldiers who were originally a little afraid drew their swords and walked forward silently. More than ten soldiers behind Cao Ren were frightened. They drew their swords and were careful to guard against the soldiers who were gradually surrounding them.
"Come on—"
"What about three liters of grain a day?"
Li Ting roared angrily, suddenly pushed away Cao Ren, whose face changed drastically, and pointed at hundreds of ragged brothers.
"Do you guys follow General Cao for a bun-"
"Pooh!"
Li Ting spit heavily and stood in front of everyone with big strides, allowing the cold wind to blow his red mouth.
"We surrender to survive-"
"Whoever doesn't let us survive, we will chop off their heads-"
Li Ting pointed at everyone one by one...
"Follow me... I will take you a big bowl of meat-"
Li Ting, regardless of whether others followed, stepped forward to the city inside and outside with a knife. In just a moment, countless cheers suddenly exploded. Chen San was pushed by his excited brothers and walked out a few steps, then turned around and ran to the tilted wooden barrel. Regardless of whether the steamed buns were stained with soil, he bit one in his mouth, took several more hands, and turned around and was about to chase the city inside and outside with a cheer. He looked up but saw Cao Ren's cold face. He couldn't help but take a step back, and the next moment he chased hundreds of brothers...
"well……"
Cao Ren smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he had no choice but to bring his soldiers back to the camp. When he returned to the camp, he saw Wang Wu, the governor of grain, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pull him away.
"How much food is left in the army?"
Wang Ye didn't dare to offend Cao Ren, so he hurriedly lowered his body and folded his fists. Before he could shout "General", he was interrupted by Cao Ren impatiently.
"Stop these, just say it!"
"There are five rations in the army..."
"Why are there so few?"
Cao Ren knew how much food was left in the warehouse, but he was still irritated and asked, and Wang Han smiled bitterly.
"If the Prefect Zhang had not sent five thousand stones a few days ago, the army would have been out of food long ago..."
"Okay, go and do it."
Cao Ren was upset and stepped into the central army's tent. Without thinking, he lifted the curtain and walked in. He saw Cao Cao holding his forehead with one hand, as if he was having a headache...
"Master."
After a few breaths, Cao Cao sighed and looked at Cao Ren who was lowered and clasped his fists.
"Have everything done?"
"Li Ting has already brought his people into the city."
After Cao Ren said the words, he lowered his body a little worried.
"Master, is it inappropriate to do this?"
"Then you say, what else can you and I do?"
Cao Cao sighed lightly.
"Although he didn't care about Dong Xining, he said nothing wrong. We will do whatever Dong Zhuo did, without missing a word."
"Why?"
"Because he knew we had no food to support soldiers, because the money and food were all in the hands of each family..."
"snort!"
As he said that, Cao Cao snorted again and was dissatisfied.
"All families have received national favors but have watched the people be displaced, and have watched the Liangzhou thieves do great things to harm the world. They deserve it if they die!"
Cao Cao snorted coldly, as if he was defending himself, as if he was firm in his beliefs. Cao Ren knew that they had no way out. If they were just Dong Zhuo who retreated into Guanzhong, they would still have time to take their time, but Luoyang was lying on an ambitious Liangzhou tiger.
Dong Hu's existence threatened everyone. Not only Cao Cao was uneasy, but Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were also worried and urgently needed tens of thousands of soldiers to deal with Dong Hu's threat. However, the families in Yanzhou were still so short-sighted...
Cao Ren was worried. Just as he stepped aside without saying a word, Cao Cao spoke again.
"If you go to find Zi Lian and the others later, the Qingzhou army can make a fuss, but they can't do it too much."
"promise!"
"Go."
Cao Cao waved his hand, Cao Ren bowed and left the tent, and was about to step forward to find Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Dun, his ears suddenly rang out...
"Xu Chu."
Cao Ren couldn't help but look back, looked at the curtains blowing by the cold wind, and then left after two breaths.
Snowflakes fell, and the cold seemed to freeze the whole world. Just as everyone was hiding in the warm room, a sudden burst of shrill bursts in Changyi City...
Just like a signal, all counties stationed by Qingzhou troops broke out in looting and smashing. Yanzhou was in chaos, and various counties and states asked for help. Cao Cao was furious and his generals led their troops to various places to suppress them. It was not until February after the New Year that the turmoil in Yanzhou gradually subsided. Just as Cao Cao's heart gradually relaxed, some rumors gradually spread in Yanzhou...
"Bang!"
Cao Cao was furious, and the bamboo slips sent by Jiyin County were thrown to the ground by him.
"Lintao children..."
“Huhu…huhu…”
"Firstly, we accused us of digging the grave of King Xiao of Liang, and today we accused us of manipulating soldiers to do evil..."
"If you don't kill you, it will be hard to relieve my hatred--"
"Bang!"
Cao Cao was extremely angry. He was not worried about the turmoil caused by the Qingzhou army. Everything was under his control. But he was worried that Dong Hu would suddenly take action when he was in the most difficult situation. But he still didn't see the Liangzhou army. He felt relieved. Just when he secretly ridiculed Dong Hu's arrogance, rumors suddenly flew everywhere in Shanyang County and Jiyin County, and everyone in the county was panicked and uneasy.
Cao Cao was angry, and Xun Yu was silent and knew that the Lintao Huwa who had been quiet for a year had finally taken action...
"The Qingzhou army is difficult to change its inferiority. Please ask the lord to strictly enforce military discipline! Stay calm the people's hearts as soon as possible!"
Guo Jia stepped out of the line and clasped his fists, looking serious.
"The Qingzhou army is difficult to change, so it is not advisable to stay in each county or county anymore. The lord should personally strictly enforce military discipline and invite virtuous and kind people to supervise military discipline to reduce panic among the people of each county or state."
Cao Cao took a deep breath.
"What you say in filial piety is reasonable."
"Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Le Jin, Han Hao, Li Dian! You will go to all places immediately, within a month... Within a month, 100,000 soldiers must come to Changyi for training!"
Cao Cao ordered the generals, and the generals held their fists together.
"promise!"
Cao Cao was angry and uneasy, and he looked at Xun Yu again, and his face became a little bitter.
"Fao thought that Dong Hu was too arrogant and arrogant. Now it seems...Fao probably was fooled by him."
Everyone was shocked, but saw Cao Cao laughing bitterly and shook his head.
"When a million Qingzhou thieves invaded Yanzhou, it was when he and the Qingzhou thieves attacked Yanzhou. Zhang Yan, the Heishan Army, had surrendered to him. If he defeated our army, he would be able to conquer a million Qingzhou thieves."
"Cao thought that day was the best time for him to seize Yanzhou, but he failed to come. Instead, he fought with Li Jue and Guo Si, and only lost his troops..."
"hehe……"
"Fao was secretly proud of him in private, and ridiculed him for being too stupid."
