The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Facing Cao Cao's questioning, Liu Ke nodded.Once the food is borrowed, the hatred between the two sides will grow, so it is better not to borrow it.

Guo Jia hesitated to speak, the lord must have considered this matter, why did he act like this?

At that time, Cao Cao can completely shirk it, and he agreed to such harsh conditions for the sake of all the people in the world.

But Liu Ke earned food, but lost the hearts of the people, and the gains outweighed the losses.

In the camp, everyone felt the chill.

Chapter 39 Attack on Xuchang

Cao Cao's abacus was rattling, and at this moment he was still proud, and someone gave him 5000 shi of grain for free.

"Here's the paperwork, sign it!" Liu Ke took out the paper and pen and handed them to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's pupils shrank, and the lender turned out to be Dongyang Wanmin!

This is different from what was expected.

He can find a way to get rid of those who owe Liu Ke, but he is not so thick-skinned when he owes to the common people.

On the other hand, Guo Jia is full of praise, the master is superior.

This time, Cao Cao couldn't get off the tiger, so he finally signed.It is hard to say whether the present hurdle will be overcome or not.

Liu Ke looked at the IOU in his hand and was very satisfied.Even if Cao Cao doesn't return it, he can pass it on to his descendants, and it will become a cultural relic after a long time.

In the future, there will not be many opportunities to make Cao Cao, a big hero, bow his head.

Cao Cao returned to the camp and also began to set up camp.Liu Ke's troops occupy an open space on the west side, and they have been tidying up in an orderly manner.There is no need for Liu Ke to order everything from setting up tents and fences.Efficiency and speed made Cao Cao envious for a while.

Compared with Liu Ke's team, the thousands of soldiers and horses on their side are far inferior, with mediocre efficiency and loose military discipline.

"My lord, we can't just let it go!" Xiahou Dun said indignantly.

"What can we do if we don't accept it? Repay the favor? Anyway, Liu Dingfang has already lent us food!" Cao Cao waved his hand.

"But, that would have to be repaid tenfold!" Xiahou Dun was still unwilling.

"You also know that's a return. With the current situation in the world, it's hard to say whether I can live for another year." Cao Cao said.

Xiahoudun said no more, and the beam was finally settled.

The next day, Cao Cao was woken up by the sound of horns, and rushed out of the tent, asking in a panic, "What happened?"

At this moment, it was just dawn and the weather was relatively cold, so he couldn't help but sneezed.

"The Dongyang army is out!" Xia Houyuan reported.

"Sure enough, they are elite soldiers and strong generals, but they are not used by me!" Cao Cao regretted.

Liu Ke didn't care about Cao Jun's commotion, and left the camp immediately after breakfast for half an hour after going out for exercise.

Along the way, they met many refugees. According to Liu Ke's instructions, each of them gave them a steamed bun.

Liu Ke's good reputation began to spread far and wide, and when some young adults expressed their desire to join the army, Liu Ke did not refuse. In the face of national crisis, they should do their part.

Liu Ke sent these people directly to Mi Fang.However, he repeatedly told Mi Fang not to let them escort the food.Food is the foundation of an army, and it cannot withstand temptation.

Cao Cao's army followed Liu Ke, more and more alarmed, the food was enough to distribute to the refugees.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

Cao Cao's army has become synonymous with miser, and I'm afraid everyone will know it soon.

"Fame and fame!" Xiahou Dun said viciously.

Some stragglers were taken care of by Liu Ke, and they followed behind without any trouble.

The two armies had nothing to do with each other. It was not until they arrived in the big city of Xuchang that Liu Ke sent someone to invite Cao Cao to discuss matters.

"Meng De thinks, what should we do?" Liu Ke asked.

"Xuchang is on guard, our army is still unknown, so don't attack rashly." Cao Cao said.

Saying it means not saying it!

Liu Ke invited Cao Cao over just to collect information, but he didn't expect this person to be so small-minded and refused to say anything.

"What is Brother Liu Xian going to do?" Cao Cao asked back.

"Tomorrow our army will attack the city! The Yellow Turban Army is a chicken and a dog!" Liu Ke said.

"Hey, Master Liu really thinks so?" Xia Houdun asked with a sneer after hearing it.

"Of course, Xuchang will be determined in one effort and three drums." Liu Ke said confidently.

"There are already 5000 defenders in Xuchang City, plus the 1 troops brought by the bandit leader Zhang Mancheng, just rely on your 8000 troops? Do you want to break through Xuchang?" Xiahou Dun sneered, and did not retreat until he was glared at by Cao Cao. go back.

"It turns out that Mengde has reservations! Thanks to me, I tried my best to squeeze out some food and lend it to you!" Liu Ke suddenly realized.

Do you still have the face to say it?

Cao Cao hated secretly, and blamed Xiahou Dun for being too careless, and was cheated out of his chips all at once.He has been investigating Xuchang for a long time, but it's not something that Liu Ke can figure out when he's new here.

"What else can Meng De say? Could it be that he is waiting for our army to suffer heavy losses so that he can subdue us?" Liu Ke said aggressively.

"Didn't Captain Qi surrender to the Yellow Turban?" Dian Wei added.
