Chapter 877

Liu Xiu thought for a while, his eyes brightened. Liu Xiu spread out a piece of paper, picked up his pen and dipped it in ink. He quickly wrote a letter. After the letter was loaded, he said, "come, please Xu Shu."

Xu Shu entered the camp and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Liu Xiu handed the letter to Xu Shu and said with a smile, "let's prepare a food box and send a can of pumpkin soup in a pottery pot to Cao Cao. More pumpkins, let him taste the delicious pumpkin

"Ah

When Xu Shu heard the speech, he was stunned. He returned to his mind, thought carefully, and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, it's a pity for Cao Cao to eat pumpkin, which is a gift from heaven."

For Xu Shu, pumpkin is a gift from heaven. It's a waste to send it to Cao Cao. Xu Shu has lived for so many years, but he has never eaten such delicious food.

Xu Shu didn't want to give it to Cao Cao.

Even though Xu Shu understood Liu Xiu's intention and Liu Xiu's intention to stimulate Cao Cao.

Can't be so exciting?

Seeing this, Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Yuanzhi, things are rare. If there are only a few dozens of pumpkins, nature is extremely precious. "

"But we have too many pumpkins."

"If there are too many, it's not unusual."

"This batch of 100000 Jin pumpkins has been delivered, and the next batch will be more. When the soldiers in the barracks are familiar with the taste of pumpkin, pumpkin is no longer rare. It's just food to eat

"It's a gift from heaven, but if you eat too much, it's just average."

With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said: "although Cao Cao is my enemy, Cao Cao is a wise and powerful leader. Give him some to eat and let him taste."

"Yes, I do!"

After hearing Liu Xiu's words, Xu Shu knew that Liu Xiu was determined. He immediately turned and went out, ready to carry out the order.

Liu Xiu stopped and said, "wait a minute!"

Xu Shu stopped, turned around and said, "what's your command?"

Liu xiudao: "no manipulation of pumpkin soup."

"Here it is

Xu Shu answered, he went out of Liu Xiu's tent, went straight to the kitchen of the logistics camp, ordered the cook to prepare a food box, and then filled a can of pumpkin soup in a pottery pot. After everything was ready, Xu Shu found a clever captain from the camp and asked him to ride to Cao Cao's camp.

However, before the captain left, Xu Shu also gave a careful order to prevent the captain from making a fool of himself when he saw Cao Cao.

"Da! "Da!"

The horse's hooves were in a hurry, and the captain ran with his food box.

The earthenware pot with pumpkin soup is sealed. When the horses are running, although there are bumps from time to time, they don't worry about the pumpkin soup spilling out. Moreover, the pottery pot is thick and will not cool in a short time.

The Xiaowei raced his horse and soon came to the camp of the Wei army. When there was still a hundred paces to go from the camp, the captain turned over and dismounted.

He stopped and gasped for a moment.

After the breath was slightly even, the captain held his head high and went to the barracks.

The captain's action alerted the soldiers at the gate of the camp. However, because there was only the captain, there was no change in the camp, but the soldiers at the gate of the camp were on guard.

When the distance between the two sides was less than ten steps, the Wei soldiers on guard cheered, "stop

The captain raised his head and looked arrogant. He said in a loud voice, "I am the envoy of the emperor of Chu. I have come to see the emperor of Wei."

The soldier of Wei asked, "what's in your hand?"

Xiaowei, who had eaten pumpkin soup, said with pride: "this is the food given by the emperor of Chu to the emperor of Wei. My emperor specially asked me to bring it."

The delicious pumpkin soup is still tasted by Xiaowei.

It's absolutely beautiful.

Only limited supply in the evening, everyone has only a bowl of soup, he just ate a few pieces of pumpkin, after drinking the soup. So much so that now the center of the heart owes, eager to eat three bowls.

The soldiers on guard looked strange and didn't understand. What did Liu Xiu give Cao Cao?

This is the first time.

The soldiers on guard thought it was quite new. But it was between Cao Cao and Liu Xiu. He didn't dare to get involved or stop him.

"Wait!"

The soldier gave an order and immediately turned to report.

After a while, Xu Chu came out. Xu Chu was dressed in armor, with a sword hanging from his waist. His eyes were staring at the eldest. His face was even more murderous and he was staring at the captain.

Xu Chu looked at the food box in the captain's hand and said, "give me the food box and follow me!"

The captain didn't refuse either. He handed the food box to Xu Chu, who led him into the camp. Entering the army's tent, the captain met Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was curious.

How did Liu Xiu bring him a meal?

Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "what's the meaning of Liu Xiu sending you? Is it as simple as delivering food? "The captain was very proud and said, "the food given by the emperor is a gift from heaven." He took out the letter from his long sleeve and said, "this is the letter of our emperor. The emperor of Wei will know if he has read it."

Cao Cao sneered with disbelief and said sarcastically, "I'd like to see what a gift Liu Xiu has got. In recent years, Liu Xiu has been playing tricks and deceiving the people. It's really hard. "

After hearing this, the captain suddenly became angry.

As a soldier of the state of Chu, he witnessed the meteorite falling from the sky.

The miracle of Chu is the pride of Chu soldiers.

Cao Cao denied it with one sentence and looked contemptuous. The captain was very dissatisfied. He immediately retorted: "it's disgusting that the Wei emperor used the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman. My emperor specially sent you a gift. If you don't appreciate it, it's just so cold. "

Cao Cao didn't answer.

He didn't pay attention to the irony of the captain.

Cao Cao took the letter and read it quickly, but he didn't believe what Liu Xiu said. In Liu Xiu's letter, he firmly said that pumpkin was a gift from heaven, and that there was something delicious to share with Cao Cao.

It's just that Liu Xiu's words, inside and outside, are stimulating Cao Cao, which makes Cao Cao very unhappy.

Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and said, "Zhong Kang, open the food box. I'd like to see what gift Liu Xiu has got. It's worth his inspiring."

Xu Chu disagreed and stopped: "Your Majesty, Liu Xiu is cunning and insidious. The food in the box must be Liu Xiu's trick. If your majesty eats it, I'm afraid he will be poisoned. "

"Open up!"

Cao Cao's order was very serious.

Xu Chu got the order and swallowed it again. He opened the food box and took out the pottery pot. Because the jar is sealed, the heat dissipates slowly and is still warm. The moment the lid was opened, a peculiar sweet smell of pumpkin filled the tent.

Cao Cao was so surprised that he was aroused by his appetite that he said, "take it and I'll have a taste."

Xu Chu said, "Your Majesty, what if it's poisonous?"

Cao Cao laughed and said confidently, "I know Liu Xiu. He won't poison food. Liu Xiu sent someone to bring pumpkin soup to stimulate me. But if it's a gift from heaven, I'll know after trying. "

Seeing that Cao Cao insisted on drinking soup, Xu Chu knelt down with a plop and said solemnly, "Your Majesty can't, please try it first."

As Cao Cao's confidant, he can't let Cao Cao risk.

If you want to die, he will die first.

"You..."

Cao Cao laughed, waved his hand and said, "just take a sip." Immediately, Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to bring spoons and chopsticks. Xu Chu took the chopsticks, scooped a spoonful of pumpkin soup, gritted his teeth and drank it.

Pumpkin soup into the mouth of the moment, fragrant sweetness in the mouth diffuse, sweet children refreshing, comfortable incomparable.

This taste, let Xu Chu aftertaste unceasingly.

He widened his eyes and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His eyes were fixed on the pottery pot. He was very surprised and said, "Your Majesty, this so-called pumpkin soup is really delicious."

Cao Cao asked with a smile, "Zhong Kang, are you relieved now?"

After a long time, Xu Chu felt that he had no adverse reaction, so he stepped back respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, please use it."

Cao Cao took the spoon and stirred it in the pot.

Looking at the yellow pumpkin in the pot and smelling the fragrance, Cao Cao couldn't help eating one. When the pumpkin entered the mouth, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked intoxicated.

Delicious!

It's delicious!

Cao Cao fell in love with this pumpkin soup in this instant.
