Everyone present listened to Lu Bu's description and kept making guesses in their hearts.
After a long time, everyone shook their heads, expressing that they could not guess.
Chen Gong stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, I have indeed never seen the items you mentioned."
At this point, Chen Gong paused, but then, without waiting for others to answer his words, he continued.
"But since Marquis Wen said it is so magical and can be used as food, if we can know it, it would be a great thing. If there is a food shortage in the future, we can use this thing to supplement it."
Everyone nodded after hearing this, "Mr. Gongtai is right, Marquis Wen, please tell us, what on earth is this?"
Lu Bu frowned when he saw that no one knew about it, "I don't know what this thing is, I just saw it before."
At this point, Lu Bu's tone paused, and then he said slowly, "I have received the exact news that Cao Mengde's food was taken away by us, leaving Cao's army without food.
But Cao Mengde thought of this method, using this dark thing as food for the soldiers to eat. How can he persist until now?
Therefore, we must find out what this thing is, otherwise when there is a shortage of food in the future, Cao Mengde will have food available, but our army will be in crisis. "
After Chen Gong heard these words, he remembered the scene in Yanzhou and couldn't help but sigh.
"Food, if there was no shortage of food at the beginning, how could we be defeated by Cao Mengde and withdraw from Yanzhou? This is all because of food!"
Lu Bu nodded, "If there had been food, the horses of the Bingzhou Cavalry would not have been slaughtered, so we must know what this black thing is."
Chen Gong said with a wry smile, "Marquis Wen, when we failed in Yanzhou, I'm afraid we didn't lose to Cao Mengde, but to this dark object!"
After hearing this, Lu Bu also felt the same way, "Yes, I really didn't expect that there are such magical things in this world."
Zhang Liao suddenly said, "Marquis Wen, according to what you just said, this thing should not be a crop planted by the common people. It may be an object on the mountain, or it may be dug out of the ground. In short, we must find the origin of this thing." , in order to alleviate the upcoming food crisis in the future."
Lu Bu saw that everyone was unaware, and finally looked at Xu Shu.
"Mr. Yuan Nao, how knowledgeable you are, do you know what this thing is?"
When Xu Shu heard the question, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Marquis Wen, the only edible items in the world are those kinds of things, but after I thought about it carefully just now, there is no item that matches what Marquis Wen said."
At this point, Xu Shu paused, but then, without waiting for others to answer his words, he continued.
"However, I suddenly thought, is the dark object mentioned by Marquis Wen the color of something that has been dried in the sun?"
Everyone nodded after hearing these words, "Mr. Yuan Zhi is right, it should be like this."
Chen Gong thought about it carefully, "What Mr. Yuan Zhi said is indeed reasonable. Many of us have not figured out what this black thing is. It seems that the color has changed after drying in the sun, so we I just can’t think of it.”
Cheng Lian suddenly said in a loud voice, "If this is the case, if something is burnt, it will also look black. Could it be that the item Wen Hou mentioned is that some grain has been burnt, so it has changed its color?"
Hearing this, Lu Bu frowned and thought carefully about the appearance of the item in his mind. After a long time, he shook his head.
"It can't be a burnt item, because if the item is burnt, it will be in the form of powder. This dark item is not in powder form, which means it is not a burnt item."
At this point, Lu Bu's tone paused, and then said, "What Mr. Yuan Zhi said just now makes some sense. Maybe it changed color because it was dried, and it is definitely not a burnt item."
Cheng Lian scratched his head, "Is it some kind of black wood?"
Chen Gong shook his head, "How can you eat wood? It must not be wood. It must be something else."
Cheng Lian suddenly said, "Marquis Wen, when we were in Bingzhou, do you still remember that sometimes we hunted prey on the mountains? Because of the hot weather, we couldn't finish the food, so we cut it into small pieces to dry. Dry."
At this point, Cheng Lian paused, but then, without waiting for others to answer his words, he frowned and continued.
"Marquis Wen, if I remember correctly, the food seems to be dark after drying?"
Hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes lit up, "General Cheng, when you said this, I really remembered him. There is indeed some similarity."
When Chen Gong heard these words, he smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Marquis Wen, how is this possible? Even if Cao Jun could catch some prey, how could there be such a large number? It is absolutely impossible. It must be other items. .”
Lu Bu thought of the vehicles he saw at that time, and they indeed contained a lot of things. Thinking of this, he nodded and said with a wry smile.
"Gongtai is right. Cao Jun's items are in large quantities. It is indeed impossible to collect such a large amount. They must be other items."
Cheng Lian scratched his head hard, with a puzzled look on his face, "But what is it? Why can't I remember it?"
Chen Gong sighed, "It seems that there are too many things in this world that we don't know, and we still have too little experience."
Xu Shu nodded, "Mr. Gongtai is right, it is true that we have little knowledge, otherwise it would be impossible for Cao Jun to know, but we don't know."
Cheng Lian suddenly said, "I heard from others that there are many magical things overseas. Are these things shipped from overseas? Otherwise, how could we not know about them?"
Lu Bu waved his hand, "Absolutely impossible. How could it be such a coincidence? Just as we snatched away Cao Mengde's food, he transported these magical items from overseas. It cannot be such a coincidence."
Zhang Liao nodded, "Marquis Wen is right. This item may be a local item. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Cao's army to obtain these items by chance when they were short of food."
"Local items?"
Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, "Absolutely impossible. If it is a local item, how could I not know about it?"
Cheng Lian said tentatively, "Mr. Gongtai, maybe there are some items that you really don't know about?"
Chen Gong shook his head, "Absolutely impossible, how could I not know about something edible like this.
And with such a large quantity, it is the best thing to supplement military supplies. Even if you don't know it, someone will know it. "
