Chapter 62: Extraordinary people should build extraordinary achievements
On the official road from Chenliu County to Shouzhang County.
A cavalry team of 500 people escorted countless grain carts. Some people looked at the grain on the grain carts and sighed, where did they get so much grain? Ten carts, twenty carts, fifty carts
…Isn’t this too much?
They lamented that this food would be enough for the people of a county to no longer have to chew tree bark to survive in a short period of time.
The leader of this team of grain trucks was Cao Xiu. Following Lu Yu's order, he led his brothers to deliver grain to Shouzhang County where Cheng Yu was located.
The purpose is, Lu Yu wants to make Cheng Yu a friend.
Of course, Cao Xiu was also very curious, who was this Cheng Yu? There must be something special about Master Lu Yu who can take the initiative to make friends!
Speaking of which, soldiers are often unwilling to do the hard work of transporting food.
It's not a big achievement. If you delay it, there is a risk of losing your head.
But who would have thought that upon hearing Lu Yu's order, more than a thousand knights would be eager to try and rush to the front
Speaking more broadly, as for military orders, obeying orders is military discipline.
To put it mildly, Lu Yu asked them to eat enough, four kilograms of food a day, but the ancient power in his body could not be suppressed at all. His whole body was full of energy and it was uncomfortable to hold it in...
If they were just training in the military camp, they would always feel sorry for Lu Yu and the full meal they eat every day, so why don't they rush to serve the young master!
Cao Xiu was quite pleased to see a group of knights working hard to deliver food as if they were fighting a war.
Mr. Lu Yu is still smart. The military order of four kilograms of food for the day, haha... He found that he was on the first floor again, and Mr. Lu Yu was on the fifth floor!
In just two days' journey, the food was delivered to the granary in Shouzhang County. Cao Xiu originally wanted to meet Cheng Yu directly.
However, when the quartermaster heard that Cheng Yu was not in the government office because of the longevity order, Cao Xiu simply ordered his brothers to pile the grain into the granary... and wait for Cheng Yu to come back to give him a surprise.
…
…
At this time, Cheng Yu was worried. He was in a valley outside Shouzhang County.
He was surrounded by trusted confidants, and before his eyes, there were a large number of people dying of starvation... There was a faint, disgusting smell in the air.
"well…"
Cheng Yu sighed helplessly with a deep sigh.
According to Cheng Yu's thoughts, he planned to cut up these dead people, dry them into dried flesh, and help Cao Cao survive this crisis by cannibalizing them.
But... if it really had to be implemented, Cheng Yu would inevitably feel hesitant.
If human nature is really to be completely eliminated, it will still have to go through a complicated ideological struggle. It is true that Cheng Yu is a "wolf killer", but he is also a Confucian scholar. When faced with something that goes against the laws of nature, such as cannibalism, he
My heart was also throbbing.
After a long time, he preached to his confidants.
"Later, cut these corpses into small pieces, dry them in the sun, and mix them into ordinary food. Add a small amount at first, and then slowly add more after the soldiers get used to it. This way, they will not be easily noticed by others, and the soldiers of the three armies will not feel sad.
It will be uncomfortable!”
Cheng Yu blurted out his words, and his confidants also sighed "Alas" and let out a long breath.
"Mr. Cheng, Yanzhou is short of food... Even Duke Cao can't do anything. Why does Magistrate Cheng take the initiative to ask for help to raise food? Or... in this way."
"Huh... extraordinary things should happen in extraordinary times, and extraordinary people should do extraordinary things." Cheng Yu sighed with emotion.
He is one of the few people in this era who can understand Cao Cao.
Recommended by Xun Yu, he met Cao Cao and had a conversation. He understood the ambition of the man in front of him and was deeply attracted... He wanted to follow Cao Cao's footsteps to realize his ideals and ambitions and achieve great success.
Great achievements!
Faced with the current shortage of food, all officials in Yanzhou are helpless. If he doesn't stand up to help "that man"? Who can stand up?
Even if it's in such a cruel way.
Even if it...makes Cheng Yu's reputation in ruins.
Looking at the confidant in front of him, seeing the confusion flashing in his eyes, Cheng Yu patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, the whole Yanzhou knows that I am raising food. These days, I have filled the granary with thatch instead of food. The soldiers of the three armies
They all thought that if I really raised food, they wouldn’t suspect these dried meats!”
"But..." The confidant frowned heavily. "After all, paper can't hide fire. What if... what if it is discovered? The reputation of County Magistrate Cheng I is just... but..."
"Hahaha..." Hearing this, Cheng Yu flicked his long sleeves. "If he is really discovered, it depends on Duke Cao. If he needs a scapegoat to calm the anger of the soldiers, then push me out. At the very least
It would be better than so many people starving to death..."
"As long as I can survive until next year's harvest, my job will not be in vain. Haha, I just hope that Mr. Cao can raise my wife and daughter for me!"
Although he says so, Cheng Yu is so smart, no one understands Cao Cao better than him!
Using dried human flesh to survive the famine sounds horrifying, but in fact, not only would Cao Cao not punish him, but it would actually be a great achievement. How could Cao Cao, who wanted to do big things, care about these small details?
What's more, Xun Yu, who originally tried to dissuade him, has written no more letters to dissuade him in recent days. It is probably because Xun Yu also realized that there is no time to make a move, and it is imminent... It is said that one general's achievements will lead to ten thousand bones!
"Stop being stunned, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, do what you have to do!" Cheng Yu began to urge his confidants, who seemed to have made a final psychological struggle and strode towards the pile of dead people.
at this time.
Another confidant hurried over with a look of shock on his face.
"Magistrate Cheng, Mr. Cao... Mr. Cao is here. He rushed to our Shouzhang County this morning. He... he did not go to the government office, but... he went directly to the granary!"
Huh...granary?
Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment as he blurted out these two words. Why did Cao Cao go to the granary? You can't go to this granary. Others don't know, but he knows best. It's full of thatch. If the warehouse is opened for inspection, then
The entire armed forces knew that he, Cheng Yu, had failed to raise food, and even...his plans and all his hard work would be in vain, and Yanzhou would fall into a complete famine!
"Horse... Prepare your horse quickly!"
Cheng Yu frowned, and he immediately shouted and rode towards the granary.
…
…
Yanzhou, Shouzhang County, in front of the granary.
Looking at the mighty grain team in front of him and countless grains being transported into the grain depot, Cao Cao couldn't help but stop and sigh, "Zhongde (Cheng Yu, also known as Zhongde) is really a talent!"
Cao Cao was very happy. Cheng Yu took the initiative to ask Ying to raise grain for Yanzhou. He heard that the granary in Shouzhang County was already full in a few days! Cao Cao thought this was a bit mysterious. To put it bluntly, he just didn't believe it...he came all the way to Shouzhang County.
have a look.
It doesn't matter if he comes here or not. Once he comes here, Cao Cao is horrified and stunned.
He did not enter the granary in a hurry, but stood on the periphery and watched the carts of grain being moved in. Cao Cao calculated in his mind that the grain brought in in this hour alone would be enough to feed ten thousand people for more than half a month!
Cheng Yu, awesome!
With shouts in his heart, Cao Cao wondered, how did Cheng Yu do it?
Cao Cao's hair turned gray as he thought about this matter of raising food, and he was still at a loss. However, Cheng Yu could raise it. Talents, we need such talents in Cao Cao's camp!
