"Do we really have enough food to defeat Yuan Shao?"
Cao Cao's judgment on the battle with Yuan Shao was not yet in place.
However, judging from the battle with Yuan Shu, Cao Cao believed that the time it took to fight was definitely not short.
Even if Yuan Shao wants a quick victory and prepares to use powerful troops to push and crush them, the stalemate between the two sides will last at least a year and will not end easily.
Cao Cao couldn't afford a year's worth of food.
Unless there is a bumper harvest next year, wait until the harvest is harvested before plowing.
However, Chen Zhou judged that half a year was enough.
Listening to the tone of Chen Zhou's words, he even thought that he could easily defeat Yuan Shao in less than half a year.
The Battle of Guandu in history lasted for more than a year before Cao Cao burned Yuan Shao's supplies and defeated him. In fact, Cao Cao's judgment was quite accurate, but now that Chen Zhou was here, there was no need to fight for that long.
It can be shortened to half a year, a real quick fix.
"Of course it's enough."
Chen Zhou said calmly: "My lord, you can safely distribute the food and help the people as much as possible. The food left for half a year will be enough."
After a pause, he continued: "If my lord is worried about opening a second battlefield as I once said, you can actually rest assured. If I guessed correctly, Yuan Shao will definitely leave it to Liu Bei to open this second battlefield, and Sun Ce ordered Soon, Jingzhou Liu Biao will not take action, Changsha will soon be in chaos, and there will be no way to intervene."
What he said was very confident.
Cao Cao was silent for a long time after hearing this.
"I believe in it!"
Cao Cao finally confirmed: "Since Duzhi said it would be like this, then there will definitely be no problem. Duzhi finally solved my worry."
How about Liu Bei opening up the second battlefield?
He hasn't taken Liu Bei to heart yet.
If Liu Bei's cavalry was still there, Cao Cao would still be concerned, but the cavalry brought by Zhao Yun had long been wiped out by them, and this second battlefield could not be opened up.
"Many people can survive to this day only because of the support of Du Zhi's plan."
Cao Cao looked at the heaters and the refugees staying quietly in the sheds, and sighed: "That's how it is in troubled times. Human lives are worse than dogs."
Chen Zhou said: "I would rather be a peace dog than a man in troubled times. If you want to change this situation, you still have to rely on the lord to unify the world as soon as possible and put down the war."
Cao Cao laughed and said: "And what I rely on is crossing it, haha..."
Chen Zhou was his guide on the road to pacifying the world. Without Chen Zhou, Cao Cao thought that he might have been annexed by Yuan Shu, or caught between the two Yuan's struggles, and he didn't know what to do.
"My lord, you are serious!"
Chen Zhou bowed.
After solving Cao Cao's worries, there was no need for them to continue blowing the cold wind outside the city.
After all, it was so cold that it made people shiver.
There is a vast expanse of white snow all around. Unless you have a poetic heart and can appreciate it, there is nothing to see or appreciate outside the city.
Chen Zhou and Cao Cao did not have such poetic thoughts for the time being.
——
In Xudu City, a new profession suddenly appeared.
It's called storytelling.
I don't know who it was, but I bought a few shops in busy streets in various parts of the city, and prepared heaters and a not too big stage inside.
As long as the guests pay a small amount of wine money, they can enter the shop and hear the book tell a wonderful story.
The story was written by Chen Zhou. People during the Three Kingdoms period had never heard of any good stories. As soon as this new profession appeared, it caused a special trend.
Many people who have spare money on hand like to meet up with a few friends to come to these shops, order wine and put their wallets on the stove, heat wine and eat, and listen to stories at the same time.
In the cold winter, the store is so warm that you even need to take off your coat.
Drinking warm wine and listening to stories is a unique experience!
The stories here are indeed interesting, and they listen to them with gusto.
Mi Heng has been very depressed recently. He was beaten up by Cao Ang that day. He slandered Cao Ang everywhere, cursed others in a rhythm, and scolded Cao Ang until he was useless.
However, Cao Ang didn't seem to feel anything at all.
He cursed in whatever rhythm he wanted, but he didn't respond, say anything, or do anything, so that when he punched hard, it seemed like he couldn't find the point of impact. He punched out hard, but the feedback he got was very soft. Powerless.
He suffered for several days because of this.
Yang Xiu had experienced this new thing called storytelling and thought it was quite fun. He brought the depressed Mi Heng out, lit a stove to warm the wine, and said with a smile: "Zhengping, why do you have to be at odds with the Cao family? Isn't this right? very good?"
He knew that Mi Heng and the Cao family were having trouble getting along, and their family was behind it, but he didn't make it clear.
Mi Heng is a bit like a fool. Even if he is being used, he still doesn't seem to know anything.
"I don't accept it!"
Mi Heng is actually not dissatisfied. In fact, he is the kind of person who doesn't feel comfortable without raising a point or scolding someone.
He has trouble with the Cao family not only because he wants to take revenge on the Cao family, but also because he hopes to find the meaning and value of his existence while scolding the Cao family.
Also, you can make yourself feel better by scolding others.
After all, as a troll, if you don’t troll someone for a day, you will feel very unhappy. Only when you troll others will they feel comfortable.
Yang Xiu: "..."
He didn't know what else to say.
"Dear viewers..."
At this time, a shout came from the stage.
"I'm coming!"
When everyone heard this, they looked towards the stage excitedly.
Today's storytelling is finally about to begin. I don't know what story I'm going to tell today, but the stories from the past few days are very exciting.
"What we are going to talk about today is your Zhengping battle against Cao's eldest son!"
As soon as the storyteller spoke, not only Yang Xiu and Mi Heng were stunned for a while, but also the other audience members in the audience raised their heads in shock.
Next, they heard the storyteller tell the story in an exaggerated way about Cao Ang kicking Mi Heng that day.
Throughout the story, everyone praised Ni Heng for his justice and Cao Ang for his cruelty.
Call Cao Ang useless.
Mi Heng became a hero instead.
Many of the people who came here to hear about the book were fans of Mi Heng. When they heard about the wonderful things, they cheered for Mi Heng together.
"This story is well told, haha..."
Mi Heng discovered that he fell in love with this place.
The previous depression disappeared.
It turns out that people outside recognize him so much and think he is a great hero, which sounds pretty good. With those rhythms, he can lead even better.
Yang Xiu was shocked, but he still reminded him softly: "Zhengping, don't get carried away!"
You must know that this is Xudu, and someone dares to fabricate Cao Ang and distort the facts. Are the storytellers here not afraid of being retaliated by the Cao family?
"I'm measured."
Mi Heng heard that the storyteller continued to exaggerate and elevate his own image, and couldn't help but cheer and cheer with everyone.
Get carried away with yourself, that's it!
