Great Wei Nengchen

Although Xuchang is rich, it also has a large population. If the food in the official warehouse here is taken out, it will easily cause panic in the court and shake the hearts of the people in the rear. Moreover, the transportation of military food from Xuchang to the front line of Huainan is a long way, and the loss in the middle is too great. Great, some of the gains outweigh the losses!

Therefore, the marching route set by Cao Ying is that the army starts from Xuchang, passes through Yanzhou, goes south to Yuzhou, and finally enters Huainan. Among them, Yanzhou is the old nest of Cao Ying. The front line is closer, and the transportation is much less labor-saving, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

……………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………

Three days later, the army marched smoothly into the territory of Yanzhou. After more than two years of effective governance, the place that was originally barren and uninhabited has changed drastically. It is full of wheat fields that are about to mature, what a rich scenery!

"God bless, the weather is good, it's a great year!" Looking at the grain-filled wheat fields on both sides, Cao Cao on horseback couldn't help but feel elated. It's the end of September now, and in half a month, the wheat fields will all be ripe. There is no need to worry about the food and grass needed for going south!

"It's all due to the prime minister's order to garrison the fields at the beginning, so that Yanzhou is so rich!" Cheng Yu, a counselor who once represented Yanzhou's government affairs, is most familiar with the situation here.

"After defeating a million Yellow Turbans, the prime minister did not kill a single person, but ordered all of these people to be resettled in the counties of Yanzhou, and gave them cattle, farm tools, and seeds for free. More than two years have passed. These 10 Everyone has lived and worked in peace and contentment, and has reclaimed millions of acres of farmland, built several large ditches for irrigation, and the crops are plentiful, and now the taxes collected every year are enough for the army to go to war!"

"Very good, as long as the army rations are sufficient, I will have nothing to worry about!" Looking at the endless wheat fields, Cao Cao felt infinitely satisfied. When he first came to Yanzhou, he led his subordinates to start from scratch. Wearing no clothes, in order to fill their stomachs, everyone had to go hunting all over the mountains and plains, making them almost like savages. Now, the grain and grass are piled up like mountains, and all counties are also prosperous. Let's see who is your opponent among the princes in the world!

The world is in chaos, the people are struggling to survive, and food has always been a big problem for the princes. Every time there is no harvest, all kinds of tragedies happen. Yuan Shao in Hebei took his soldiers to collect wild mulberries to eat, and Yuan Shu in Huainan forced his soldiers to fish them. River mussels are eaten, and other princes from all walks of life can only eat people when they can't even eat grass roots and bark.

Hebei, Bingzhou, Hanzhong, Jiangdong, and even Xuzhou under Liu Bei's rule often had people cannibalism. Sometimes the hungry soldiers slaughtered people from one village to another, and then made human jerky as military rations. As a result, they ate both eyes Red, drooling, like a pack of wolves...

Under Cao Cao's rule, the common people had enough food and clothing, and there had been no cannibalism for two full years. This made the subordinate officials very proud, people shouldn't cannibalize.

"Now that the wheat is ripening, let the order go down. When the army marches, each should follow the formation, be careful not to trample on the farmland, and anyone who violates this order will be killed!" Cao Cao added another one to the military discipline!

Otherwise, the road is narrow, and the 10,000+ army will inevitably hurt the farmland once they pass by, and the hard work of the common people for a year will be gone!

"promise!"

"The prime minister has an order not to trample on the wheat fields. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"

"The prime minister has an order,..."

The military order was like a mountain, and the law enforcement officer immediately ran out with the arrow to convey it. While running, he had to look at the bottom of his feet.

"The prime minister loves the people like a son, I admire him very much!"

(There should be applause here, as in ancient and modern times...)

"Haha!" Holding a horsewhip in his hand, Cao Cao was full of ambition, "Old man, law enforcement is like a mountain, and the three armies..."

"Plop!... Whoosh!"

Before the words of boasting fell, a group of sparrows suddenly startled from the wheat field. These little creatures seemed to have a good eye, knowing who had the highest official position, and they would not go anywhere else. It directly hit Cao Cao's mount...'Claw Yellow Feidian'!

With a neigh, the horse was startled!

402. Chapter 402

"Master Prime Minister, be careful!"

"Come and protect the prime minister!"

The war horse was suddenly frightened, neighing and galloped towards the wheat field by the roadside. No matter how much Cao Cao whipped him, he couldn't control it. Instead, he bumped up and down, like a small boat in the sea, which might capsize at any time. He quickly leaned on the horse's back and held on to the reins tightly. The riders all knew that if they were thrown off by a galloping horse, the force of inertia would be so great that even if they didn't die, they would be seriously injured!

The incident happened too suddenly, and after the surrounding soldiers realized it, they immediately rushed up to try to save Cao Cao, but the horse 'Clawed Yellow Feidian' was a famous Dawan horse, galloping like flying, and had a violent temper. I couldn't catch it, and I was afraid of accidentally hurting Cao Cao, so I could only yell...

Just when everyone was helpless, a black shadow galloped towards Cao Cao's mount from the direction of the front army, and quickly approached Cao Cao's mount. Judging by the speed, it was slightly faster than 'Claw Huang Feidian'!

Of course Xiao Yi and 'Baicai' rushed over. He was originally in charge of the front army, and when he discovered the situation in the Chinese army, he immediately rushed over to rescue Cao Cao. At this time, he could only take action, besides, , Among the tens of thousands of horses in the army, the one who can run past the 'Claw Yellow Feidian' is none other than 'Uncle Cabbage'!

With a neighing sound, 'Cabbage' quickly approached the target, and when the two horses were about to collide, they stomped lightly with all four hooves, and then dodged ingeniously. At the same time, Xiao Yi jumped up from the horse's back, Flying to Cao Cao's side, he hugged the neck of 'Zaw Huang Fei Dian', hung his body like a spirit ape~~

"Ah! ~~ Stop for me!"

The two iron arms tightly strangled the horse's neck, Xiao Yi put his feet on the ground, found a support point, and then used all his strength to rein in the galloping horse. This was one of the games he often played with 'Cabbage'!

"Aw! Aw!... Hiss!"

'Claw Yellow Feidian' was naturally unwilling to be controlled like this, neighing and roaring, stomping on the ground, raising the horse's head high, trying to get rid of the shackles around the neck, but no matter how hard it tried, Xiao Yi was like a tie. It was the same as above, unable to throw it out, but the arms were getting tighter and tighter, one person and one horse, sweating profusely, and six legs were deeply sunk in the mud...

"咴!..." With a mournful cry, 'Zaw Huang Fei Dian' finally lowered his horse's head obediently, stopped struggling and roaring, and flicked his tail to show his submission, and the surrounding generals and soldiers quickly surrounded him ...

"The prime minister is fine!"

"Prime Minister, well!"

"Huh!" He took a deep breath, after all the tossing just now, Cao Cao's clothes were completely wet, and his legs were trembling even more. He looked at the people around who greeted him, and at Xiao Yi who was still tightly strangling his horse, Forced a smile, "If Xiao Lang hadn't made a move, the old man would be almost in a mess today!"

It's not just embarrassment, everyone knows that if Xiao Yi hadn't tried his best to rein in the frightened horse just now, Cao Cao's life would be in danger today, at least he would have broken his bones and tendons, and the consequences~~

However, everyone was not surprised by Xiao Yi's act of saving people. On the contrary, they thought that he should be rewarded. If someone else saved Cao Cao, he would definitely be promoted to a noble position, with a lot of gold, silver and treasures. !

But Xiao Yi has nothing left, his daughter is going to marry you, what kind of reward do you want, no matter how much gold, silver and jewels, it's just a change of left hand for right hand, I never heard of anyone who saved his father-in-law It's considered a 'doing what's right'.

"It's good that Mr. Cao is fine!" At this time, Xiao Yi also let go of the horse's neck, but he firmly grasped the rein, helped Cao Cao off the horse's back, and looked carefully from top to bottom, and then he was relieved. He took out his wine gourd again, which shocked Cao Cao!

After three sips of wine in a row, Cao Cao's three souls and seven souls were finally taken back, and his face was a little bloody, but after looking at the surrounding situation, his rosy face immediately turned pale again...

It turned out that after such a toss just now, at least half an mu of wheat field was trampled to the ground by a startled horse. Otherwise, it’s nothing. With the financial resources of the prime minister’s mansion, the crops of half an mu of land are just a drop in the bucket, but the key is What's more, Cao Cao has just issued a new military order, "Whoever tramples on the wheat fields...beheaded!"

If you do it yourself, then you can put yourself in it!

"Where is the military judge?" The military order I issued must be carried out first, otherwise, how can I convince the public in the future? Cao Cao asked with a serious face, "The old man's war horse trampled on the wheat field, how should we deal with it?"

"Return, report back to the prime minister, discuss the law~~~", the military officer knelt down with a "plop", killed him, and dared not say the word "cut", what kind of character is Cao Cao, the prime minister of the big man, Today's 'uncrowned king', who dares to add military law to his head!

"Don't you dare to say it, okay, I will tell you for you, there is an order in the army, and those who trample on the wheat fields, beheaded!" With a swipe, Cao Cao directly pulled out his 'Yi Tian Bao Jian', the cold light was shining, and the steel mouth was excellent , "Come on, execute it!"

"The Prime Minister is impossible!"

"Prime Minister, take care!"

This 'Yitian Sword' was specially invited as the successor of the master swordsmith 'Ou Yezi', and it took more than a year to forge it by selecting the best 'East Sea Millennium Cold Iron'. It is extremely sharp and cuts iron like mud. There is also a handle on the furnace's "Qingzhi Sword", one male and one female, and they are also known as "Shuangjue". They have always been loved by Cao Cao, and they are worn on the body. Dare to take it over and kill Cao Cao again?

"It must not be done. The "Spring and Autumn" says that the law does not apply to the venerable. Besides, the prime minister leads the army to conquer and shoulders the heavy responsibility of the country. How can he be a bad horse and ignore the big things in the half-acre wheat field!" The 'ghost' immediately found a legal basis to justify it, but this is obviously not enough, at least people are hard to convince!

"Military law is ruthless, how can I be an exception!" Cao Cao seemed determined to kill himself, looking around, since no one dared to come up to take the sword, "Xiao Lang, you come to enforce the law!"

"What, I'm coming?" Looking at the Yitian sword handed over, Xiao Yi's scalp tingled for a while, "What's the situation, that's not how the script was written, and I haven't heard anything about myself in history..."

"Xiao Lang, enforce the law!"

"Promise!" The military order is like a mountain, and it will be impossible if you don't answer it. Holding the sword in his hand, Xiao Yi first looked at the shocked crowd around him, and then at Cao Cao's beautiful head. Today he has to play a guest role as a barber!

"Ah!...he really wants to..."

Seeing Xiao Yi really walking over with the sword in hand, everyone's hearts immediately rose to their throats, darling, this guy won't really want to kill the prime minister, right? Others would never have the guts, but "Ghost Face Xiao Lang ', the murderous ancestor...

With the sword approaching, Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly, without changing his expression, as if he really regarded death as home!
