Grassroots Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 84 Taishi Ci Intimidated Liu Su

Bo Cai said to Tai Shi Ci with a smile, "The gift sent by Cao Gong is very strange, but it is also in line with his own temperament. Although the gift is light, we can see Cao Gong's deep admiration for the general... Cao Gong's move is clear of things, which shows his yearning for the general and admiration! If the general obeys Cao Gong at this time, the problems we are facing at present will be solved. However, if the general obeys Cao Gong, it will limit the future development of the general. If the general refuses Cao Gong, although the general has been difficult at this time, his future achievements are immeasurable! ... In my opinion, the general still stays in Qingzhou and ignores Cao Cao!"

Others also nod their heads, agreeing with Bo Cai's statement.

"Well, I guess Brother Bo Cai's opinion is the same as that of Brother Feng Xiao!" Tai Shici's eyes lit up and said slowly. Although Taishi Ci's words are short and ambiguous, everyone still hears the meaning: At this time, Guo Jia is the celebrity around Cao Cao. If Guo Jia wants Tai Shici to defect to Cao Cao, does he still need Cao Cao to operate it himself? As long as Guo Jia only said a few words, Taishi Ci immediately defected to Cao Cao. At present, Guo Jia seems to pretend not to know Tai Shici in front of Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao personally sent someone to send a "written letter" to Tai Shici. In this way, Guo Jia also disapproved of Taishi Ci's surrender to Cao Cao.

As for how to refuse Cao Cao's kindness, Taishici has thought about countermeasures before turning around. He toured the crowd and then asked gently, "Guys, do you have anything to negotiate?"

Yu Dabo and others shook their heads one after another, and only Zhao Pu, the county magistrate, looked like he wanted to talk and stop. Encouraged by Tai Shici's eyes, Zhao Pu said hesitantly, "General Taishi, this morning, I went deep into the streets and alleys and found that at least half of the people couldn't open the pot... It's not that I couldn't open the pot, but that there was no firewood to cook..."

When Tai Shici heard the words, his face couldn't help sinking. He began to feel anxious: At this time, the city was not only facing the lack of food, but also the inability to make a fire to cook. A meal must have a pot, rice and a stove, both of which are indispensable. If it hadn't been for the surge in population and the surge in the number of soldiers and horses, Taishici would never have encountered a shortage of food and fodder, let alone the lack of firewood for cooking.

For a family of five, it only takes 20 catties of firewood to cook a meal. If you cook chicken and stewed meat, the cost of firewood will double. The firewood used by ordinary people to cook mainly comes from the straw of crops, and the firewood used by richer families to cook comes from dead trees and branches.

In the face of this fucking problem, Taishici suddenly thought: No wonder the hills near Donglai County have become bare...

As soon as Zhao Pu gritted his teeth, he continued to say to Tai Shici, "General, the people were supposed to go further away to cut down trees, but they were severely stopped by Brother Bo Cai... Now, the people have a strong resistance to the government and the officers and the army..."

Tai Shici took a look at Bo Cai, and then looked at Zhao Pu and said, "Zhao County Magistrate, Brother Bo Cai's decision is correct! Qingzhou is originally a hilly landform. If the number of mountains and forests is arbitrarily cut down, flash floods will break out in the rainy season next summer... Now, first gather and chop firewood from all parties, and then distribute it to the people to solve their urgent needs. No matter what, you can't let a person starve to death!"

Bo Cai saw that Tai Shi Ci was so anxious, so he smiled and said to Tai Shi Ci, "General, in fact, it is not necessary to use the straw of chopping firewood and crops to cook. There is a special substance in Zaoshan north of Huanglong Valley. This material is hard in texture, dark and bright in color, and extremely flammable. High, very fire-resistant. At the beginning, we used this substance to preserve the fire..."

He has lived in this area since he was a child. Of course, Tai Shici knew what Bocai refers to Zaoshan: the whole mountain is black. In the hot summer, there is thick fog, and bright fire can be seen at night. Therefore, Zaoshan is called Ghost Mountain by the locals, and everyone is far away from it.

If you use something from Ghost Mountain, do ordinary people dare to use it? In the past, no; what about now? ... Tai Shici immediately said to Bo Cai, "Brother Bo Cai, if that kind of material can really make a fire to keep warm, it's not too late. We can immediately organize soldiers to dig!"

"Well, that's the only way now!" Bo just nodded heavily. Then, he stared at Gao Shun and Yu Da and said, "Captain Gao, Captain Yu, please immediately organize 2,000 soldiers, carry shovels, sacks, heavy trucks and other tools, and follow me to Zaoshan!"

"Ouch!" Gao Shun and Yu Da got up and answered in unison. Then, they walked out of the camp side by side.

Taishici imagined the cold weather and wanted to stop Bocai from going to Zaoshan. When his words came to his mouth, Bo Cai waved his hand and refused. Under the ferent attention of Tai Shici and others, Bo walked out of the camp with his head held high.

Tai Shici chatted with Zhao Pu Sulman for a while, and finally Tai Shici left the camp and went to the traditional Chinese medicine shop in the county. The next day, when Cao Cao sent three messengers to visit Tai Shici and asked Tai Shici about the results considered. Tai Shici did not answer them immediately with words, but put the traditional Chinese medicine Dilong into the package in front of them, and then sent the package to the messenger.

At this time, Taishi Cicai said to the messenger, "You go back and show this gift to Cao Gong Cao, and Cao will know the decision... At the same time, please bring a sentence to Cao Gong, saying that you will admire Cao very much, but it is difficult to leave his hometown. He will be determined to follow Liu Yu, the royal family, and help the Han Dynasty!"

Tai Shici's statement was awe-inspiring, sonorous and powerful, which moved the listener. In fact, Tai Shici just said casually and didn't think about anything in his heart. He gave Cao Cao a dragon back, which was to tell Cao Cao: He didn't want to leave Qingzhou, but would rather be a local snake...

At this point, the value orientation of Tai Shici and Gan Ning is similar: they would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail... If they cling to strong people and can't stand the important, they will lose a lot. They would rather be harder than lose their freedom. They can't do it to see other people's faces.

The three messengers did not dare to complain about Taishi Ci. After all, they have heard of Tai Shici's martial arts skills, which is a fierce general among the fierce generals. They respectfully said goodbye to Tai Shi Ci and embarked on the journey back. As the master, Tai Shici has been sending them ten miles away.

Near noon, Liu Yu, the pastor of Qingzhou, sent people to Donglai County to collect grain and fodder. The person who came was Liu Su, Liu Yu's own nephew. Liu Su entered Taishi Ci's tent and suddenly felt dark and cold. He curled his lips with great dissatisfaction to Tai Shici, who was kneeling on the main seat. At this time, the senior officials on the ground in Qingzhou only knew that Taishi Ci was the official position of a general, and did not know that Tai Shici's martial arts had advanced to the innate realm.

Liu Su's official position is as high and low as Tai Shici, but he does not pay attention to Tai Shici as a relative of the emperor. He stood in the center of the tent and pointed to Tai Shici and asked, "Tai Shici, how dare you not welcome me?" Also, Tai Shici, your officers and soldiers in Donglai County are too rampant, aren't they? How dare you not pay grain and fodder and taxes to the state government for months..."

Surman, the general present, saw Liu Su scolding Tai Shici so much. Sulman suddenly stood up and glared at Li Su. Yan Yun's four riders also suddenly stared at Liu Su with sharp eyes. In such a situation, as long as Tai Shici gave an order, they would chop Li Su into meat sauce.

Tai Shici waved to everyone, and then looked at Liu Su, who was furious. Liu Su felt a strong murderous intention and couldn't help but take two steps back. The four bodyguards behind him pressed their swords and looked back and forth nervously at Sulman and Yanyun.

Liu Su immediately thought of his noble identity, and his face immediately turned from panic to anger. He pointed to Sulman and shouted, "What do you want to do? Oh, Tai Shici, why are there Huns in your barracks?

"What's wrong with the Huns?" Surman stared at Liu Su and asked.

"Hungarian..." Liu Su looked at Sulman's fierce eyes and no longer roared. His voice was weak. He didn't dare to provoke Sulman. As he spoke, he turned to Tai Shici.

Tai Shici did not invite Liu Su to take a seat. He looked up at Liu Su and said coldly, "General Liu, Donglai County is extremely short of food and fodder at this time. All the soldiers and civilians have two meals a day. Today, half of the residents of the county have no firewood for cooking... If the general doesn't believe it, he could have taken you to the ground. Check it out!"

When Liu Su heard the words, she responded arrogantly and said, "Tai Shici, it's your business to starve people to death. It's not my business. I will only collect grain... Today, if you dig three feet of the ground, you also have to hand over the grain you want to collect!"

Tai Shici ignored Liu Su's arrogance, but raised his hand and pinched his nose with a painful face. Seeing this, Liu Su looked at Tai Shici puzzledly. At this time, Surman and Yan Yun's bodyguard understood Tai Shici's intention and smiled one by one.

Liu Su couldn't help wondering and asked, "Tai Shici, what the hell are you doing?"

Tai Shici suddenly released the body gas mask, pinched his nose and said to Liu Su, "Liu Su, you speak more stink than farting... Haha!"

After Tai Shici finished speaking, he laughed unscrupulously, while Sulman and Yan Yun's bodyguards laughed wildly. That scene was to tell Liu Su: If you are arrogant, we will be arrogant. Little lamb, you are too young to compare with us! In fact, Surman and Yan Yun's bodyguard are indeed wolves, wolves in the grassland, and wolves in the jungle!

Liu Su heard Tai Shici's ridicule and ridicule. He wanted to scold Tai Shici, but he saw the sign of the super fierce general in the innate realm - the body gas mask, and the dirty words in his stomach were blocked in his throat. His inner anger turned into panic in an instant, and his anger suddenly disappeared. He looked at Tai Shici with dull eyes.

In a blue halo, Tai Shici slowly stood up. His face was gloomy. He pointed to Liu Su and scolded, "Liu Su, you are chirring in front of the general. While you can still control your anger now, you are about to disappear from him... Liu Su, are you stupid?! Get out of here!"

Liu Su was shocked by Taishi Ci's voice full of true spirit. In Tai Shici's roar, he led his entourage to leave the camp in confusion. He quickly got on the horse and ran out of Taishici's camp. Liu Su and his party were as scared as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
