When Lu Bu returned to the Chinese army's tent, he saw everyone looking at him expectantly. He smiled and raised the small cloth bag in his hand and placed it on the table.
"Everyone, the items in this little cloth bag are the items I mentioned. Now let's take a look. Can anyone recognize it?"
At this point, Lu Bu waved to Cheng Lian, "Since you are impatient, come over and open the small cloth bag and let everyone see what's inside."
Hearing this, Cheng Lian was immediately overjoyed. He quickly came to the table, reached for the small cloth bag, and opened it as quickly as possible.
After opening it and seeing the items inside clearly, Cheng Lian exclaimed, "Why does it look like this? I thought it was golden and extraordinary, but the appearance is too ordinary."
After hearing this, everyone became even more anxious and hurriedly gathered around to look at the small cloth bag in Cheng Lian's hand.
When Lu Bu saw everyone gathered, he smiled and asked, "Everyone, now that you have seen this item, some of you should be able to recognize it, right?"
Hearing this, everyone smiled bitterly and shook their heads, "I can't recognize him. I really haven't seen him before."
Chen Gong carefully picked up the dark object with two fingers, put it in front of his eyes and examined it carefully. Finally, he got closer and smelled it, then nodded.
"It tastes quite fragrant. It should be edible."
Xu Shuque frowned, "This thing doesn't look like it's grown on a tree or growing in the ground. What is it?"
Hearing this, Zhang Liao nodded, "Mr. Yuan Zhi is right, if it is grown on a tree, it should grow like various fruits. Even if there is a difference, it shouldn't be too different.
And if this object is said to be on the ground, it is indeed impossible. There is not even a trace of soil, how could it be grown in the ground. "
Everyone nodded after hearing this, "It does not grow in the ground, nor does it grow on trees, but it should indeed be edible. What should it be?"
Seeing that everyone still didn't know what it was, Lu Bu couldn't help but frowned and asked slowly, "Mr. Gongtai, don't you even know what it is?"
Upon hearing the question, Chen Gong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Marquis Wen, I have little talent and knowledge. I really don't know what this thing is. I have never even seen it."
Lu Bu's frown deepened and he turned to look at Xu Shu, "Mr. Yuanzhi, you should have been to many places, so you should know this thing, right?"
Xu Shu frowned and seemed hesitant to speak. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "I don't know what it is?"
Lu Bu was surprised when he saw that the two most knowledgeable people didn't recognize each other, "Could this thing really come from overseas as I just said?"
Chen Gong nodded, "That should be the case, otherwise how could they not have seen it before? If only one or two people have not seen it, I would be forgiven, but if everyone has not seen it, I am afraid it is not a local item, but should be shipped overseas. Come."
After hearing this, Zhang Liao shook his head, "Mr. Gongtai, it shouldn't be possible. If it was shipped from overseas, at least we should be able to hear some news, but we haven't heard anything. Don't you feel strange? "
Chen Gong waved his hand, "General Zhang, maybe he came in batches, not all at once. Of course, it won't attract anyone's attention. It's not surprising that we don't know."
Zhang Liao added, "If it is shipped from overseas, the cost may be higher than the local food. Is Cao Mengde really willing to do this?"
When Lu Bu heard these words, he immediately reacted and nodded, "General Zhang is right, if it is shipped from overseas, the value is indeed much more expensive than food.
If calculated this way, it would be better to raise food locally, which would cost less. "
When Chen Gong heard what the two said, he smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "If it's not shipped from overseas, then where do you think it was shipped from?"
Cheng Lian held the dark object in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said slowly, "This thing smells very fragrant. Do you think it is something from the sea?"
Chen Gong shook his head, "How is this possible? Although the products in the sea are abundant, it is probably impossible to catch them."
Cheng Lian's eyes suddenly brightened, "Marquis Wen, since this object was brought out from Cao's camp, their soldiers must know what it is. Why don't we capture a few Cao soldiers and just ask, and it should be clear." "
When Lu Bu heard these words, he looked at everyone again and saw everyone shaking their heads. Knowing that no one knew what this thing was, he could only nodded with a wry smile.
"It seems that's all we can do. Go catch a few Cao Jun soldiers and come back to ask, and you should be able to find out."
Cheng Lian chuckled and said, "Marquis Wen, if the general is willing to lead people there, he will definitely capture two of them."
Lu Bu nodded, "In that case, wait until early tomorrow morning and take people to arrest them. Remember, you must not let Cao Mengde know."
Cheng Lian waved his hand hurriedly, "Marquis Wen, there is no need to go to such trouble. I will take the people there right away and do things while it is dark. I will come back before dawn."
Lu Bu nodded, "Okay, let's go. Come back quickly."
Cheng Lian went to capture two Cao soldiers. Lu Bu was not too worried, because this kind of thing was often done when he was in Bingzhou.
At that time, every time I attacked a tribe, I didn't know the situation inside, so before each battle, I had to capture a few foreign warriors and come back for questioning.
Therefore, Cheng Lian is considered a veteran at doing these things, so there is nothing to worry about.
After everyone left, Lu Bu picked up the dark object, looked at it carefully, and finally put it in a small cloth bag and wrapped it up.
"Cao Mengde, what on earth is this?"
…
Cheng Lian led 30 Bingzhou cavalry soldiers out of camp overnight and rushed towards Cao Jun's camp.
After running all the way, when we arrived not far from Cao Jun's camp, it was already dawn.
"Everyone go to the woods to rest. Don't be discovered by Cao Jun's spies."
"I obey my orders."
Everyone hurriedly responded, jumped off their horses, then pulled their horses into the woods and carefully hid them.
Although Cheng Lian was reckless, he was really good at what he did.
After everyone rested for a while, Cheng Lian left four people to take care of the horses, while the rest walked all the way, cautiously heading towards the direction of Cao Jun's camp.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
There were more than 20 people, completely scattered in the woods, and they would hide their whereabouts as they moved forward.
Cheng Lian and others were walking forward in the woods. When they were approaching Cao Jun's camp, they suddenly heard a loud shout from in front.
"No one is allowed to move forward. The military camp is very important. If you get closer, we will shoot arrows."
When Cheng Lian heard this, he was not surprised but happy.
