Three Kingdoms: Cao Chong's will, in fact, my eldest brother is not dead!

Chapter 45
Cao Ang did not expect Cheng Yu's arrival, so he hurriedly comforted Wenpin and went to see him.

When they returned to the camp, Cheng Yu was already waiting, and Cao Ang also didn't understand why Cao Cao sent this person.

"General Cheng, why are you here?"

When welcoming the emperor to Xudu, Cao Cao named Cheng Yu Shangshu, but it doesn't matter, Cao Cao gave Cheng Yu too many titles, and any official position in the court is worthless these days, isn't it all controlled by Cao Cao?
The army is still good for generals, Cao Ang has not returned for ten years, who knows what Cao Cao gave him.

Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said: "Eldest Young Master, you don't have to be like this, just be casual. This trip is naturally because the Prime Minister wants to ask about the robbed food and grass, and I'm here to see you by the way."

"Oh... sir, is he only here for food and grass?"

"That's the matter, the eldest son can also pretend that I haven't been here, it's just that the prime minister wants to know."

How can you pretend you haven't been here?
Cao Ang didn't quite understand, so he said: "I have blocked the news in the army about being robbed, but anyone who leaks will be dealt with by the army!"

Cheng Yu nodded slightly: "Well, it should be so... Eldest Young Master, but this food and grass must be available, how to solve it?"

"Sir, aren't you embarrassing me? I have to ask the prime minister for food and grass. I'm not a god. Even if the whole army starts plowing the fields, it will take next year to harvest."

No matter so much, Cao Ang complained first, anyway, it was not his mistake.

He didn't want this kind of thing to happen, and he had just accepted the Jingzhou soldiers, and he hadn't conducted real communication training, so he shouldn't blame Cao Ang if anything went wrong.

"My lord, it's going to be a bit difficult to bring in another 10 people's food and grass..."

"Sir, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the prime minister wants me to go back again?"

"That's not the case. Food and grass are being raised, but it just takes time. Can you last twenty... thirty days here?"

"Thirty days, I'm afraid there will be no one in the camp."

It's not that Cao Ang is bad, the fact is like this, there is only enough food and grass for ten days, and you have to last for two or thirty days?

Are you kidding, these people want to build water villages, all they do is physical work, can they save money!

If 10 people lay motionless, it may save some food, but it will not last for a month.

People will lose strength if they don’t eat, and horses will lose weight. Will they be able to fight by then?

Cheng Yu frowned: "Did the eldest son think of any way?"

"No, sir, can there be any way to teach me?"

This rhetorical question left Cheng Yu speechless. If you have the ability, come and tell me how to immediately figure out a way to feed 10 people.

Unless it is a fairy who can immediately transform food and grass, otherwise it must be available in the world.

Cheng Yu is not ignorant of the world in the late Han Dynasty, the world is in chaos, there are hungry people everywhere, and there is not much food.

Seeing Cheng Yu's appearance, Cao Ang seemed to have guessed something.

"It's the prime minister who doesn't want to retreat, so I have to think of a way?"

"Yes... Eldest Young Master is really smart. If the Prime Minister's army can't go any further, I'm really not reconciled."

"That's true. As long as the army moves, countless money and food will be moved first. If you don't get anything, you will really lose."

"Is the eldest son really helpless?"

Cheng Yu was a little anxious. If this continued, Cao Cao's idea of ​​conquering Soochow would be completely wiped out.

Don't say that the vanguard army was in chaos, or it was withdrawn again, just because the civilians here stopped building, Cao Cao's idea could no longer be realized.

For a large project, as long as there is a small card, the impact will be huge.

Just like a large army marching, the people in front pause for a while, and the people behind can pull out a few miles.

Cao Ang blinked his eyes: "Sir, there is a way. The only one who has food and grass now is Soochow."

Cheng Yu was taken aback for a moment: "What, Eldest Young Master, you can't be..."

Just rely on the vanguard army to fight against Soochow? What a joke, out of the 10 people, there are only [-] to [-] regular troops who can really fight.

It is impossible for the boatmen to attack Soochow, and the combat effectiveness of the civilian husbands is just like that. They are strong, but they have not been trained.

If this can defeat Soochow, why would Cao Cao bring the army here.

"Yes, since the master asked me to find a way, it must be a place with food and grass. This is the territory of Dongwu. Naturally, they have food and grass. If I don't ask them, who else can I ask for it?"

"That's the case, but do you have enough troops, Eldest Young Master?"

"It's not enough, sir. It's Soochow, even if I bring an army of one million, it's not enough."

What Cao Ang said was the truth. In history, he was known as a million-strong army, but he didn't take it down. He was burned back.

If it is possible, it must be under the correct command, and there must be subtle strategies and tactics.

In fact, Cheng Yu also heard that there was something in Cao Ang's words. If he didn't know what he was saying, he would not speak like this.

So Cheng Yu smiled: "The eldest son has a countermeasure?"

"It doesn't count, but I have to make a move. It's better than sitting still."

"The plan will be settled?"

"If Mister is not in a hurry to go back and report back, let's wait and see, okay?"

"Oh, then I'll just wait and see, anyway, the prime minister is not in a hurry to get me back."

Cao Cao was in a hurry, but Cheng Yu could send someone back to report, and he didn't need to go back in person.

When he came here, he was originally asked to stay by Cao Ang's side. Cao Cao didn't let him make any suggestions. In fact, no one had many ideas. Even if they had, they didn't dare to say that it would work.

At this moment, Jia Xu came in, holding a booklet of military supplies.

"My lord, that's all the food and grass left now... Cheng Shangshu, why are you here?"

"Wenhe, of course I'm here for food and grass, what plan do you have in mind?"

Jia Xu shook his head: "There is no plan. Now that I am the chief bookkeeper, I only care about how to distribute. As for how to get food and grass, isn't that the prime minister's business?"

Cheng Yu was taken aback. He asked Cao Ang just now, didn't he say there is a way?
"Wenhe, General Zhonglang said just now, you have thought of a plan, why, you won't say it?"

When Jia Xu heard what Cheng Yu said, he also glanced at Cao Ang, spread his hands and said: "Then you have to ask General Zhonglang, I didn't tell you that I have a solution, who said you should ask him, I can't manage it alone Such a big deal."

"What, isn't this the strategy you thought?"

Of course Cheng Yu knew Jia Xu's abilities, he could think of tricks that none of them could think of, and Cao Ang wanted him.

But didn't he come here to help out with ideas? Why did it get so complicated, such a small matter was done by a big adviser?

Cheng Yu looked at Cao Ang again, Jia Xu didn't come up with any schemes, could the eldest son think of it?

Cao Ang said with a smile: "Look at what I do. If Mr. Zhongde doesn't believe it, we will do it soon. Let's go. I will take Mr. Wen to have a look. Mr. Wenhe will also come with us."

Looking at the posture, it is really Cao Ang's own idea, but what is it?
Cheng Yu was curious, what method could Cao Ang come up with, wouldn't it be to use these 10 people to fight directly...
