As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Even a prince like Cao Cao has to bow his head.

Not only did Cao Cao's two swords be cheated by Li Chen, Cao Cao had to flatter Li Chen helplessly. This made Cao Cao feel bad. Cao Cao's heart, good boy, you are really hurt, you are so hurtful.

What is the thing Cao Cao should be most grateful for at this time? What Cao Cao should be most grateful for is that Li Chen is still a particular person.

After Li Chen asked Cao Cao's sword, he handed the two swords for a while, and handed them to Pei Yuanqing and said, "You want these two swords, so you can keep them."

Well, Li Chen actually gave Pei Yuanqing an official with a sword-carrying boy on the spot. Xiahou En is Cao Cao's sword-carrying boy, but he, the sword-carrying boy, now has no sword-carrying boy. I'm afraid that from now on, he will be changed to Cao Cao's flute-carrying boy.

Li Chen gave these two swords to Pei Yuanqing and said, "You want this sword, so you can keep it." Pei Yuanqing thought to himself, when will I want the sword? Your Highness, King Qin, you are wronged and you won't bring such a person."

Pei Yuanqing felt wronged, but he had no choice but to do so. As a good subordinate, he wanted to take the blame for his leader. At this time, Pei Yuanqing could only bite the bullet and take the blame for Cao Cao.

Although the sword is matched with a hero, Li Chen does not know how to do martial arts and does not like this sword very much. But why did Li Chen insist on Cao Cao's two swords? The main reason is that since Cao Cao asked him to help.

Although it is most in line with the interests to help Cao Cao survive, Li Chen always has to let Cao Cao pay something, otherwise he will always feel a little uncomfortable all over.

In this case, it’s like you go out to buy clothes. After the merchant quotes a price, although you think the price is not expensive, but for some reason, you still want to talk to the merchant about the price. If the price cannot be explained, then let him give him a pair of socks.

In troubled times, interests come first, and everything has to make way for interests. Only this kind of character can Li Chen become the last one to dominate the world.

Now, what Cao Cao is fortunate is that Li Chen is a person who believes in his words. Although Li Chen blackmailed him two swords, Li Chen did have plans to help him.

The encirclement of Cao Cao by multiple forces is a great battle for the rights of the Central Plains. There is no doubt that this matter is led by the Yuan brothers of the Three Dukes of the Four Generations. Not to mention anything else, but there is one thing that is beyond doubt. That is, in this era, the appeal of the title of Three Dukes of the Four Generations is definitely not a problem at all.

Yuan Shao waved his arms and beat Cao Cao up, which was to kick Cao Cao out of the chessboard with his arm. This was to kick Cao Cao's biggest threat from the chessboard. This war in the Central Plains is undoubtedly a protracted war. After this war is over, no matter who wins or loses, it is a kind of weakening of combat power for many forces.

Li Chen looked at Cao Cao, and then slowly said to Cao Cao: "Brother Cao, I am going to be honest. I am preparing to use troops to the Eastern Wu. This support for military force is really impossible to give you. Of course, besides the support for military force, you have any requirements in other aspects, just ask."

As soon as Li Chen said this, Cao Cao's expression changed. Cao Cao thought to himself, I gave you both swords, but you told me that I could not support me in terms of military strength. I could support me in other places, but my god, you couldn't support me in terms of military strength. What's the use of supporting me in other places? I want you to support me in other places, and I want you to support me in terms of giving birth?

Cao Cao's face changed. When Guo Jia saw his King of Wei's face changed, he thought to himself, King of Wei should not offend Li Chen at this time. After all, Li Chen did not participate in the plan to deal with them, which is already good news. At this time, you must not offend Li Chen.

Thinking of this, Guo Jia took advantage of Cao Cao's speech before he could speak and asked first: "Your Highness, if we need food support, it is feasible."

In ancient times, when marching and fighting, the focus was on the food and grass before the three armies moved. For an army, the most important thing was the force and food and grass. Sometimes, the food and grass were even more important than the force.

From ancient times to the present, there are countless military wars where few wins and weak wins defeat the strong. But similarly, military wars where there are many defeats due to poor food and grass. There are too many wars that can be won, but they lose because of food shortage.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Jia asked if he could support food and grass after hearing that Li Chen was unwilling to support Li Chen.

When Guo Jia mentioned the food and grass, he happened to be above Li Chen's heart. Li Chen was preparing to support Cao Cao in the food and grass. The sweet potatoes and potatoes in Xuzhou have been planted for several times, although they have been absorbing refugees.

However, because the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is too large, although there are refugees, the major treasury governments in Xuzhou are now in a full warehouse. Li Chen has not much other things now, but the food is too much.

"Yes, we can provide you with food and supplies." Li Chen nodded at Guo Jia and responded.

When Guo Jia and Cao Cao heard Li Chen's words, they both felt relieved. Li Chen was willing to provide support on food and grass, which was a good thing.

You should know that after this battle is really fought, Cao Cao will have to recruit soldiers continuously, and there will be fewer people recruiting troops to farm. Once there are fewer people who farm, the food will naturally be less. Scarcity is precious. If there is less food, the price of food will inevitably rise, and then military rations will become a huge logistical pressure for Cao Cao.

One way to alleviate the price of grain is to buy it from elsewhere. However, it is obvious that among the princes in the world, only Li Chen can provide him with a large amount of food.

"I wonder how much food the King of Qin can provide to us, and what the price is?" Guo Jia asked tentatively at Li Chen.

"Is the quantity? If you have enough, I can provide as much as I want. As for the price, this..." Li Chen said, looking at Chen Gong beside him.

The food and grass in Xuzhou are all under the supervision of Chen Deng, the big manager. Li Chen only knew that there were a lot of food and grass in Xuzhou, but in fact he didn't know how much it was, let alone what the market price of this grain was.

When Chen Deng saw Li Chen looking at him, he understood Li Chen's meaning slightly. Chen Deng stretched out five fingers and pressed them down.

Li Chen and his advisers were still very tacit, and Li Chen instantly understood what Chen Deng meant. Chen Deng said that he would sell it to Cao Cao at a price lower than 50% of the market price.

After understanding what Chen Deng meant, Li Chen also extended five fingers to Guo Jia.
