We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

The purse in Gan Mei's hand was already somewhat in shape. Xi Yu didn't say anything when he saw the other party like this.

He would be happy to see the other party have his own opinions now.

Why did Alang come back so early today!

Ganmei naturally knew about Xi Yu's daily training in the military camp.

However, it was still early now, so Gan Mei was a little surprised that Xi Yu came back so early today.

The training has been put on hold for the time being. I have to find a way to provide the soldiers in the barracks with meat!

He explained casually to Gan Mei, who was a little surprised.

meat?

Is there not enough food and grass in the military camp?

Two days ago, Mrs. Sister-in-law and the others sent over a piece of beef that was beaten to death. If Alang needs it...

not enough!

The Cao family would often send him some meat and the like. Either Cao Cao got the venison from somewhere, or he killed a cow one day!

These meats are enough to supply the actors.

But if you want to supply the supply camp and maintain their training, it is simply not enough!

I have already thought about it. I will take Dian Wei and the others to the mountains tomorrow and bring back some wild pigs!

Wild pig?

Ganmei was confused, shouldn't the meat be inedible?

But since Xi Yu had said so, Gan Mei didn't say much. At this moment, she seemed to remember something again, and then she looked up at Xi Yu.

Alang, I heard that Sister Zhaoji has composed a new song. Do you want to take the time to listen to it?

Regarding the previous proposal, Ganmei still took it to heart.

I mentioned it casually at this time, but I actually wanted to match up with my husband.

When Xi Yu heard this, he didn't think much about it and just shook his head.

I've been very busy recently and don't have much time. Let's talk about it when I have time!

At the moment, on the one hand, he has to train his soldiers, and on the other hand, he has to plan for spring plowing, even though he has already gained experience in the previous year.

This year's spring plowing will hopefully be smoother, but he still needs to do this.

Moreover, he expected that in a short time, Cao Cao would continue to conquer Xuzhou.

At that time, the baggage camp will also be responsible for transporting grain and grass.

Hearing what Xi Yu said, Gan Mei nodded.

The next morning.

Xi Yu, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, together with more than a dozen soldiers, rushed directly to the mountains.

In this era, wild beasts were very common in the mountains and forests, and it didn't take long for the three of them to encounter wild boars.

The group of people were lucky enough to encounter a nest of wild boars.

Dian Wei took the lead and knocked down the adult wild boar with one punch. Soon, everyone returned to the military camp with two adult wild boars and a litter of piglets.

After learning that Xi Yu, Dian Wei and others had hunted wild boars back from the mountains, the entire Cao camp was obviously a little surprised.

No one really eats wild boar these days.

However, Xi Yu didn't pay attention to this. After calling the soldiers who were usually responsible for raising horses, Xi Yu began to discuss the method of raising pigs with him.

Castration?

The soldier in charge of raising the horses was in a daze. He didn't understand why Mr. Xi was looking for him.

He is usually only responsible for feeding war horses, and he doesn't understand anything about things like pigs!

What's more, he has never even gelded a war horse.

These days, things like war horses are scarce. Anyone who dares to castrate a war horse will be beheaded.

Sir, I really don't know how. I'm just responsible for raising horses!

…

What are you talking about? You are in the military camp discussing how to castrate wild pigs?

Xi Yu was looking for someone to help castrate wild pigs in the camp, and Cao Cao soon heard about it.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao quickly led people to find Xi Yu.

Fengyi, what's so good about this wild pig that needs to be castrated?

When Cao Cao led Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai to see Xi Yu, he was leading Dian Wei around a wild pig and looking up and down.

The wails of the wild pigs are endless.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao's whole heart trembled.

Brother is here!

Hearing Cao Cao ask why the wild boar was castrated, Xi Yu casually began to carefully explain the various benefits of castrating the wild boar.

As for this pig, if Xi Yu remembered correctly, it happened to be researched by someone at this time in the late Han Dynasty.

He heard that it seemed to be Hua Tuo, but he couldn't find where Hua Tuo was at the moment.

But this does not prevent him from knowing the benefits of pigs!

In fact, in this era, some people raised pigs at home. After Xi Yu took Dian Wei and others to get the wild pig back.

Then he heard some soldiers in the camp saying that some people were raising pigs.

However, the practice of raising pigs has not yet become popular.

Those common people raise pigs just to prevent them from starving to death during disaster years.

But the pigs of today are very different from the family heads of later generations. Not only are they thin, but more importantly, they are a bit ferocious.

There are so many details?

After hearing what Xi Yu said about the benefits of pig farming, Cao Cao didn't have the slightest doubt. After thinking about it, he took the initiative to hug the King of Sleeves.

What's wrong with the pig? I'll help you!

As he spoke, Cao Cao tied his robe around his waist, took a knife from the soldier beside him, and walked straight towards the wild boar.

Dian Wei, come and help me hold him down!

After shouting at Dian Wei, Cao Cao was already sharpening his sword.

This process happened so fast that Cao Cao wanted to take the initiative. Before Xi Yu could say anything, he saw that the other party had asked Dian Wei to pin the wild boar to the ground.

The two big men were sticking their butts out, one was pressing the wild boar's body hard, and the other was holding a knife and swiping it at the wild boar's crotch.

Cao Cao's skills were extremely fast. He only heard the wild boar wailing. When the sound fell, Cao Cao had already stood up from the wild boar.

What's the problem? It's just a knife!

While speaking, Cao Cao conveniently put the things in his hands aside, and walked over to Xi Yu as he spoke.

Xi Yu moved back.

What do you mean, Boss Cao? You just chopped off a pig's hand and you still want to pat me on the shoulder?

Cao Cao didn't notice Xi Yu's intention to step back. After finishing the work of killing the pig, he immediately washed his hands in the copper basin beside him.

After the matter with the wild boar was completed, Xi Yu began to explain to the soldiers how to deal with the wild boar in the future.

Next, these wild boars need to be castrated.

After learning that some of the people raised pigs, Xi Yu also began to order people to collect pigs from people's homes.

The few wild boars currently need to be kept in the military camp for the time being.

After a few months, it will be almost ready and it can be slaughtered.

After finishing the work with the wild boar, Xi Yu led Cao Cao and the others into his tent.

My lord, you are here not because of the wild boar!

Xi Yu guessed that Cao Cao was somewhat impatient now.

They attacked Xuzhou before, but now most of Xuzhou has been captured by Cao Cao.

Before the beginning of spring, Cao Cao's intention to attack Xuzhou had already been exposed, and it was even obvious.

The entire Cao camp knew it all.

Before the spring plowing, Cao Cao intended to attack Xuzhou.

Sure enough, as Xi Yu spoke, Cao Cao sat in the top position and nodded.

After the new year, the imperial court has ordered to change the reign name. From this year on, it will be the Xingping reign name!

There will be a battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north sooner or later, and now the princes everywhere are eager to attack each other!

Although Yuan Shao is forward-thinking and cautious, I don't expect Gongsun Zan to be his opponent. In as little as a year or as long as a few years, the war in the north will definitely end!

This time, time is not waiting for me, not to mention that I heard that Liu Bei's reputation in Xuzhou is growing day by day!

Tao Qian has nothing to worry about, but this person can easily become a serious nuisance!

If we let it develop in Xuzhou for a while, we will capture Xuzhou one day. It will not be that simple!

Cao Cao is eager to attack Xuzhou, and the more important reason is that Liu Bei is still in Xuzhou.

If the other party is allowed to continue to develop, then the entire Xuzhou may become Liu Bei's.

There are rumors that Tao Qian is seriously ill now and is even more interested in giving up the position of Xuzhou to Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei is really allowed to inherit Xuzhou's territory, wouldn't everything he has done before be in vain?

Fengyi, when do you think it's appropriate for our army to attack Xuzhou?

After Cao Cao finished his analysis, he turned to Xi Yu and asked.

Hearing this, Xi Yu raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao. Boss Cao's concerns were indeed correct.

It's just that he doesn't have much opinion about attacking Xuzhou at the moment.

He turned to look at Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai.

Brothers, what do you think?

Noticing his younger brother looking at him, Xi Zhicai instantly thought of what Xi Yu said at home.

He also investigated Chen Liu's side before and found that Chen Gong was indeed connected with Lu Bu.

Now that Xi Yu was asking himself, it was obvious that he wanted to persuade Cao Cao.

Lord, I do not recommend attacking Xuzhou this time!

The land from the previous attack on Xuzhou has not been completely digested by Yanzhou. Although Yanzhou has abundant food and grass, it is difficult to support a protracted war!

If this battle drags on for too long, it may cause serious trouble to our army!

Xi Zhicai did not say anything about his worries about Chen Liu, but said that it was not suitable to attack Xuzhou at the moment.

The spring plowing has not yet begun, but a big war last year has already consumed a lot of Yanzhou's grain and grass.

If we continue to attack Xuzhou before spring plowing, it will be okay in the short term. If we cannot capture Xuzhou for a long time, we may drag down Cao's army!

Xun Yu beside him also nodded.

Lord, what Zhicai said is true. If you want to attack Xuzhou, you might as well wait until after the autumn harvest!

After the two expressed their opinions, Cao Cao, the leader, could not help but frown.

He had already asked Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu about their opinions earlier.

It was precisely because both of them disapproved of attacking Xuzhou during spring plowing that Cao Cao couldn't help but ask Xi Yu.

But I didn't expect that Xi Yu's meaning seemed to be similar to the two of them.

However, today's big men are eagerly competing for territory among various places.

The land of Xuzhou was so close that he expected that it would not take long to annex the entire Xuzhou.

Time waits for no one!

I have already made up my mind about this matter!

Cao Cao took a deep breath: Everyone, I understand that if this battle cannot be resolved quickly, it will definitely drag down Yanzhou!

However, if some things are not done now, there will be more variables if it continues to be delayed!

There is no 100% success in a war. If you hesitate to look forward and backward because of some worries, what's the difference between me and Yuan Shao?

I admit, I have the element of gambling, but this time I am willing to gamble!

You are willing!

As he spoke, Cao Cao's eyes fell on Xi Yu, and his eyes clearly said, didn't you tell me before that you would start a war with Xuzhou after the spring plowing?

What do you mean by not speaking now?

Seeing Cao Cao's eyes, Xi Yu naturally understood.

Boss Cao has made up his mind, even talking about gambling, not to mention comparing himself with Yuan Shao.

At this point, Cao Cao's intention to attack Xuzhou could no longer be changed.

Xi Yu nodded: Brother, aren't you worried about Lu Bu in Hanoi?

Lu Bu is not a person who is content with others. Although he is currently living under Zhang Yang, the latter is also worried about Lu Bu!

Although both of them are fine this time, Zhang Yang will definitely not let Lu Bu stay under his command for too long.

This time Hanoi is adjacent to Yanzhou, so Lu Bu will most likely take advantage of our army to attack Xuzhou to cause trouble in Yanzhou!!

Xi Yu thought for a while and finally pointed out Lu Bu's question.

When Cao Cao heard this, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Lu Bu, it's nothing to worry about, he's just a reckless man!

…

When Cao Cao planned to attack Xuzhou again, the situation in Xuzhou was also slightly complicated.

Inside Xiapi City.

Since assisting Tao Qian, Liu Bei and Guan Zhang have stationed themselves in Xiapi City after Cao Cao withdrew his troops.

Tao Qian's thousands of Danyang soldiers were unknowingly gathered under Liu Bei's command.

Even some of Tian Kai's soldiers recognized Liu Bei as their master.

Although he currently lives in Xuzhou, there is a faint tendency to become bigger.

Under this trend, some people have begun to think of letting Liu Bei succeed Xuzhou, and even Tao Qian seems to have seen such a result.

Today, Tao Qian has become increasingly aware that he may not be able to survive much longer since he became seriously ill.

The minds of the major families in Xuzhou are already confused.

Now there are not many people who are still facing him.

Come, please General Liu!

After thinking for a long time, Tao Qian found that he seemed to have no choice but to give up the Lord of Xuzhou, and this candidate, after thinking about it carefully, Liu Bei turned out to be a very suitable candidate.

On the one hand, his surname is Liu, and the world of the Han family belongs to the Liu family.

Secondly, Liu Bei was known for his benevolence, and Tao Qian had heard of all his actions in Xuzhou, so he was regarded as a benevolent and righteous gentleman.

If Xuzhou is handed over to the other party, it will not be a good talk.

Relying on Liu Bei's character, as long as he entrusts Xuzhou to the other party, Liu Bei will definitely treat his descendants properly.

Thirdly, it was clear that Cao Cao coveted Xuzhou in the previous period. Xuzhou now is just a hot potato in the final analysis.

When Tao Qian summoned Liu Bei, Liu Bei, who was in Xiapi City, quickly received the news.

The envoy summoned me?

After the messenger in the city delivered the news to Liu Bei, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart.

During this time, he was living in Xuzhou, and Liu Bei had heard some news about Tao Qian's intention to entrust Xuzhou to him.

This was not an idea to calm his mind, but Tao Qian really couldn't hold on much longer.

Brother, it seems that Tao Shijun really wants to give Xuzhou to my eldest brother!

Zhang Fei smiled on his face. Seeing that Liu Bei was not in a hurry to get up, he couldn't help but start urging him.

Brother, what are you waiting for? Let's go and take the seal from Xuzhou Zhoumu!

Hearing what Zhang Fei said, Liu Bei turned his head and couldn't help but glare at him.

Don't talk nonsense, Yi De!

Whether Tao Qian gives way to Xuzhou or not is Tao Qian's own business. Although he feels a little hot in his heart, he cannot express his thoughts.

Zhang Fei is making a fuss at the moment. In this situation, it seems that he is already eager to take Xuzhou over.

If this matter spreads out, what will outsiders think of Liu Bei?

Even if Tao Qian really wanted to entrust Xuzhou to him, he couldn't accept it.

Liu Bei knew in his heart that the greater the interests before him, the more he would naturally wake up.

It is not a good thing to accept Xuzhou rashly. Not to mention that he is just a guest in Xuzhou, and there are even countless aristocratic families in Xuzhou who are eyeing the position of Xuzhou Mu.

As a foreigner, I really thought it was that simple to get to Xuzhou.

Brother, what are you worried about? Mr. Tao will give up Xuzhou Mu's position to you. Do others dare to say anything wrong?

If anyone really dares to talk nonsense, the Zhangba Snake Spear in my Lao Zhang's hand will not agree at all!

Zhang Fei didn't know why Liu Bei was hesitant, but Guan Yu didn't have much idea.

He felt that even if his eldest brother took over Xuzhou Mu's position, there would be no problem at all.

With his elder brother's ability, it is no problem to serve as a small Xuzhou shepherd.

Okay, Yide, don't talk nonsense. Since the envoy has summoned you, let's pack up and meet the envoy!

After thinking about it, Liu Bei gave Zhang Fei another instruction to save him from talking nonsense after he went out.

I have no plans to take over Xuzhou's position right now. Don't let Zhang Fei talk nonsense outside and act like he can't wait.

Zhang Fei buzzed and said nothing.

After packing their bags, the three brothers immediately started moving towards Xuzhou City.

At the same time, the Chen family in Xuzhou!

Within the Chen Mansion.

My son, does Liu Xuande intend to take over as the lord of Xuzhou?

Chen Gui asked his son Chen Deng.

The latter nodded: Father, I think that Liu Bei has a gap in his chest. He is a man who has achieved great things, but he only values ​​his name!

I'm afraid you and I will have to help with this incident in Xuzhou!

It seems that it is not easy for Liu Bei to successfully take over Xuzhou's position, and the father and son must come forward in person.

There is such a rumor in Xuzhou this time, and the Chen family has taken many actions in it.

But now, Tao Qian had this idea in his heart. Chen Deng had met Tao Qian some time ago.

After the other party met, he asked him what he thought of Liu Xuande.

After hearing Tao Qian's question, Chen Deng already felt that Tao Qian was ready.
