Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Chapter 60 Shooting yourself in the foot



When Cao Shuo's soldiers and horses were halfway, they met Cao Ren who came to inform him.

"Nephew Zixiang, you have really caused a catastrophe!"

Cao Ren came to Cao Shuo and eagerly described the princes' reactions to this incident.

Cao Shuo said indifferently:

"Since they think I'm doing something wrong, then they can blame me. Anyway, the food and grass are gone now."

"What? The food and grass are gone, you burned the food and grass?"

Cao Ren had a look of incredulity. It didn't take long for the 20 shi of grain to disappear.

"Burn? You think I'm stupid, I'll distribute it to Chen Liu and the people of Yingchuan County."

"Divided? How can you divide it? That's our food and grass!"

"If it is divided, it will be divided. Chen Liu and Yingchuan have been frequently raided by Dong Zhuo's soldiers recently. They have already run out of food and grass. If they are not distributed to them, how can they survive?"

"You broke up, how do we live?"

How can the food and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops be divided as they are said to be divided? If there is a mutiny, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"I don't care about that. I'm not a grain supervisor. What does it have to do with me? I can just ask for 40 shi of grain and grass, and you can ask for it too."

"This……"

As the two talked, they came to the city where the allied army was located. When the princes saw Cao Shuo walking in, they surrounded him one after another.

"Cao Zixiang, where's the food and grass?"

"Give us the food and grass!"

"For 40 shi of grain and grass, at least give me [-] shi."

"Hmph, it's because you took away all the food and grass that we lost the battle."

……

Cao Shuo completely ignored the reactions of the princes, and under the protection of Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, he dragged Lv Wen to the city lord's mansion, and sat down on the lord's seat unceremoniously.

"My grass!"

"Is that a woman?"

"War with women?"

Just now everyone was only paying attention to their food and grass, and they didn't notice Lu Wen who was beside Cao Shuo at all. When they came to the meeting room, they realized that it turned out that Cao Shuo was following a woman.

Are you fucking here to fight a war or have sex.

"Everyone, I have run out of food and grass!"

Tao Qian said angrily: "What are you running out of? Don't lie to others. Even if you sprinkle all the way from jujube to Chenggao County, you still can't use it up."

Zhang Miao said: "Nephew Zixiang, if you hand over the food and grass, or share half a month's food and grass for each soldier, we will not pursue this matter."

Zhang Chao echoed: "Brother is right, give us some food and grass, and we don't care about it."

Liu Bei looked at the two of them with a gloomy face. Sure enough, they couldn't get any good things. If I share my head, how much can he share?
He also counted on Cao Shuo to divide it evenly, so that he could recruit troops.

Wang Kuangdao: "Cao Zixiang, don't think that you are powerful because we are afraid of you. Hurry up and hand over the food and grass."

Cao Cao also persuaded: "Zi Xiang, even if each of them owes you 20 shi, grain and grass, you can't take away all the army food."

Cao Shuo said indifferently: "Do you want food and grass, or do you want to hear my explanation?"

The princes seemed to have discussed it in advance, and said in unison: "Food!"

"Oh, that has something to do with me. You are going to find Yuan Shu, he is the food supervisor."

Bao Xin said angrily, "Gaolu said you took all the food and grass away."

"You can also go to him to ask for 40 shi of grain. Everyone is equal, aren't they? Why can I ask for it? Why don't you come?"

Zhang Yang said angrily: "He said that you took away the military rations as a bet."

"Prefect Zhang is right. Since it's a bet, should I ask for it for you? The grain and grass were sent by Yuan Shu. Even if it's a bet, it's Yuan Shu's alone. It has nothing to do with you. It's about responsibility." It also depends on who is in charge.”

"you……"

Zhang Yang was so angry that he couldn't speak, and the others didn't know what to say.

Cao Shuo continued: "As you said just now, you only care about food and grass. Now I have two solutions. I don't know if you want to hear it or not!"

"What solution?"

Everyone looked at Cao Shuo one after another, could he return the food and grass kindly?

"First, you go to Yuan Gonglu to ask for food, he is the food supervisor!"

Yuan Shu argued: "Cao Zixiang, you have to take away the food and grass, where can I get the food and grass!"

"Since there is no food, then choose the second option!"

Sun Jian couldn't wait to ask: "What's the second thing?"

"You all go back to your own residences. I will give you the food and grass to go back. I will ensure that you can return to your residences alive!"

"What are you talking about? We came here to form an alliance, isn't it just to attack Dong Zhuo?"

Cao Shuo said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether you punish him or not. Dong Zhuo is over 50, how many years can he live?"

Yuan Shao scolded angrily: "You are treasonous!"

"You have no food to stay here. Could it be that when you are about to starve to death, will you be taken away by Dong Zhuo?"

Qiao Mao said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, will you give us food or not?"

"Out of humanitarianism, I only give you the food and grass you need on the way back. After all, the 40 shi of food and grass I took away has nothing to do with you."

Liu Dai shouted: "It doesn't matter, it's military rations, and it's a felony for you to embezzle military rations!"

"Yes, misappropriating military rations is a felony. Dare I have the right to embezzle military rations?"

"This……"

Everyone looked embarrassed, Cao Shuo really did not have such power, the leader of the alliance was Yuan Shao, and the food supervisor was Yuan Shu, Cao Shuo was just the spokesperson entrusted by His Majesty, the princes had been in an alliance for many days, Cao Shuo had never asked how to distribute the food and grass .

It simply wouldn't work if he was responsible.

Yuan Shu said vigilantly: "Cao Zixiang, what do you mean? You are the one who asked me for food and grass. Of course, you are responsible for this!"

"I ask for food and grass and you give it, but they ask for it and you don't give it. Why? Am I the leader?"

"You speak too much!"

"Hehe, no matter what excuse I used to ask for the food, you sent someone to send it to me. I didn't snatch the food. You can solve my food and their food, otherwise we will Let's go, anyway, my father escaped from Dong Zhuo."

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's faces turned green. What he meant was that their Yuan family was wiped out, so they should stay here to take revenge, but how could they beat Dong Zhuo with their soldiers and horses?
Cao Shuo scanned the crowd and said loudly:

"If you want to go back, you can come to Jizhou to ask for food and grass, and I guarantee that you can make it to the station alive."

"Wait!"

Yuan Shao hurriedly prevented everyone from making a decision, if they left now, who would he ask to avenge him.

Yuan Shu had a lot of money and food in Yangzhou, he caused this matter, and he had to pay part of it.

Yuan Shao said sadly, "I'll take care of the food and grass!"
