Cao Cao covered his head and asked Cao Ren:

"Who ordered the use of small hu of food to spread out?"

Cao Ren was confused when he heard this.

You clearly gave this order. Could it be that the king has amnesia and doesn’t even remember his own order?

Cao Ren whispered:

"The king...you ordered the order of spreading grain with small hu of food.

When you transport the military rations to the leader, you ordered the use of small hu of loose rations..."

"All nonsense!"

Cao Cao glared at Cao Ren and said loudly:

"I cherish my soldiers the most. How could I order small hu of loose grain to make the soldiers unable to eat enough?

Go and call Wang Wu, the official of the Cang, to the orphans!"

"This... will be obeyed."

Cao Ren's heart was filled with small questions. He really couldn't figure out what the king asked a warehouse official to come over to do.

The warehouse officer is only responsible for dispersing grain, and it is the king's orders that are carried out.

He has no choice but to have food shortage in the army!

Although he was puzzled, Cao Ren still did as Cao Cao told him.

After a while, Cang official Wang Ye walked into Cao Cao's tent under the leadership of Cao Ren.

Wang Ha stepped forward carefully and politely to Cao Cao:

"The villain Wang Ha pays homage to the king!"

"Wang Qing, please get up quickly."

Cao Cao laughed and said to Wang Han with a pleasant look:

"I came to Wang Qing today because I wanted to ask for help from you."

Seeing that Cao Cao was so good at treating him, Wang Wu was flattered and said to Cao Cao:

"What kind of virtue is the villain? Let the king bow down and ask for it?

As long as something can be done, even if you go through fire and water, you will never refuse!"

"Hey... it's not that trouble."

Cao Cao waved his hand to Wang Han:

"I just want to ask you to borrow something to suppress the resentment of the soldiers.

Wang Qing, don’t worry too much.”

Wang Ha was confused by Cao Cao's words.

Borrow something from yourself?

I am just a little person, so what can be remembered by the dignified King of Wei?

Wang Ha asked Cao Cao respectfully:

"I don't know what the king wants to borrow?

As long as it is owned by a villain, I will definitely not be stingy.

Even if you give it to the king, it doesn’t matter.”

Cao Cao said to Wang Wu gently:

"Actually, it doesn't matter. I just want to borrow your head."

When Wang Wu heard this, his soul was so deceased that he knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing to Cao Cao:

"Good luck, your life!

Please spare your life!!

The villain is really innocent!"

Cao Cao stepped forward and helped Wang Wu up, smiled at him kindly and said:

"I will naturally know that you are not guilty.

But if you don’t kill you, the morale of the army will change.

For the people of the Great Wei, you should go with peace of mind.

After you die, I will support you by your wife, so don’t worry about it.”

Wang Ha's heart was ashamed and collapsed on the ground.

He could see that Cao Cao was determined to kill himself today, and Wang Wu would die even if he didn't die.

"Cao Ren, push Wang Han out and behead him in front of the soldiers and show him!"

"promise!"

Cao Ren secretly said that his family brother was really cruel and deserved to be a traitor in troubled times.

No matter what Cao Cao did, he was a minister and had nothing to say.

Cao Ren asked two swordsman to push Wang Han to the school field, and Cao Cao followed closely behind.

When the Wei soldiers in the camp saw Cao Cao, they all shouted loudly, asking the king to uphold justice for them.

Cao Cao stretched out his hands to stop everyone's cry and said loudly to the soldiers:

"I know that you have received less food in the past few days and have suffered grievances.

It’s all because of the warehouse official Wang Wu who stole the official grain and replaced your food with a small hu.

Today, I will kill Wang Ha in front of you to serve as a warning to you!

From today on, the food and grass will still be distributed according to the Dahu.

If there are any corrupt and abused laws in our army, they will be killed without mercy!”

After Cao Cao said that, he waved his hand and the knife and axe hand cut off Wang Ye's head directly.

"Long live the king!"

"The king is indeed the wise lord!"

"I knew the king would not treat us harshly, and there was indeed a hidden secret about military rations."

"Wang Ha, a corrupt villain who is in trouble, is really hateful!"

"That's right, it's so cheap to slash him with one knife!"

“…”

Cao Cao killed Wang Wu very pleased, and the dissatisfaction caused by the lack of military rations by the Wei soldiers immediately disappeared.

Seeing that the army's morale increased, Cao Cao pulled out his sword from his waist:

"Today, the army is siegeing the city and vows to flatten Runan!

All the generals obey orders and prepare for war!”

The soldiers of the coalition army set out again and headed for Runan.

Cao Cao sighed in a complicated expression and said to Guo Jia beside him:

"Wang Xiao, isn't it a bit unkind to me to do this?"

Guo Jia's face was a little sickly and he coughed lightly:

“In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done.

But now that I have replaced the food and grass with big hukou, I am afraid that the food will be out of stock if I don’t leave the three-day army.”

"Three days... are enough."

Cao Cao said calmly:

"The Chu army has lost tens of thousands of dollars in recent days. Although we have killed more soldiers in battle, this kind of consumption is still beneficial to our army.

Gongda is also ready. Whether it will succeed depends on tomorrow's battle!"

The next day, ladders were laid on the city wall, and the coalition soldiers launched the most fierce attack since the war against Runan.

The two armies fought fiercely until noon, and the coalition suddenly retreated like a tide.

With the investigation of the scouts from the Anbu, Yuan Shu knew that the coalition forces had abandoned even the camp and retreated all the way north.

On the top of the city, Xi Zhicai shook the folding fan and said to Yuan Shu:

"The coalition's strategy is also open-minded.

Their withdrawal of troops was luring our army to pursue them.
To be continued...
