"If Miss Diao Chan didn't remind me, I really wouldn't have thought of this!”
Zhou Tai slapped his forehead." Brother Li Heng, you're really Zhang Liang's reincarnation. Zhang Xiu surrendered without a fight and then rebelled again. You've calculated it all!"”
The two of them looked at Su Yi in unison.
"Invite those two Cao generals in.”
Su Yi was calm and only waved his hand.
"Li Heng, you're not going to save them, are you?”
Zhou Tai asked in a low voice.
"We've earned so much money from Cao Mengde, so it's fine to save his two subordinates.”
Zhou Tai sent him to the gate.
Outside the mansion.
Cao Anmin was holding the injured Cao Ang as he sat on the steps and panted.
The Cao army was defeated in the Battle of Wan City. Cao Ang was injured by an arrow in the chaotic army. Fortunately, his cousin Cao Anmin rescued him in time and escaped from the battlefield.
The two of them were separated from the main group and retreated in the direction of Ye County.
Cao Ang was seriously injured, and he could not walk anymore. Cao Anmin happened to find such a house, so he helped Cao Ang to come and ask for help.
"Creak!"
The door opened.
"Come in quickly, Generals," Zhou Tai walked out and whispered.”
Cao Anmin was overjoyed, and he helped Cao Ang up. With Zhou Tai's help, he staggered inside.
"Help this general to the couch.”
Su Yi instructed.
Cao Anmin hurriedly said," Young Master, my elder brother's injuries are not light. Please go to Ye County and get a doctor to treat his injuries. I will definitely reward you heavily."”
"No need. I know a little about medicine. Leave this general to me."”
"You?"
Cao Anmin sized up Su Yi.
"Ye County is still a dozen miles away from here. By the time a doctor is called, your brother will probably be dead. Why are you still standing there foolishly?”
Zhou Tai glared at him and helped Cao Ang into the room.
"Forget it, that's the only way. I just don't know how brilliant this young master's medical skills are at such a young age.”
"Big brother, we can only depend on your luck now.”
Cao Anmin was secretly helpless. He could only help Cao Ang into the room and hide on the couch.
"Chan 'er, bring me my medicine box!”
Su Yi instructed as he examined his arrow wound.
Diao Chan quickly took out the medicine box.
The box was filled with scalpels, bandages, alcohol, anti-inflammatory drugs, and other first-aid equipment.
These things were naturally the rewards for Su Yi's seclusion mission.
"You…you want to use these things to treat your injuries?”
Cao Anmin was surprised as he pointed at the medicine box and asked.
"You Ping, please take this general out. Don't disturb me.”
Su Yi was too lazy to explain to him.
Zhou Tai immediately dragged Cao Anmin out.
Cao Anmin paced outside the door and looked around from time to time. His eyes were filled with anxiety and unease.
An hour later, the door opened.
Cao Anmin rushed in and asked anxiously,"Young Master, how is my elder brother?"
"He only suffered external injuries and did not hurt his internal organs. I've already stitched up his wounds and given him a shot. He will recover after a few days of rest.”
Su Yi washed his hands and said casually.
"Tetanus?"
Cao Anmin stuttered and looked confused.
Seeing Cao Ang's face turning red and his breathing gradually stabilizing, he relaxed.
Immediately.
Su Yi instructed Diao Chan to send someone to bring food over and let the two of them rest here for the time being.
After making the arrangements, Su Yi turned around and left.
The moment he stepped out.
He then instructed Zhou Tai,"Youping, Cao Cao's army will retreat to Ye County. He has lost all his provisions, so the provisions we have stored in Ye County will be put to use."”
Zhou Tai was stunned at first, but then he suddenly understood.
"I finally understand. So Cao Cao really wants to buy our grain. Li Heng, I really have to hand it to you!”
Zhou Tai was full of praise and gave Su Yi a thumbs up.
"There's no need to flatter me. Pass down the order to get the grain stores in Ye County to prepare to sell grain.”
Su Yi smiled faintly and left.
…
The next evening.
Su Yi was feeding the fish in the courtyard.
Footsteps sounded behind him. It was Cao Ang who had woken up and was coming to see him with Cao Anmin's help.
"Thank you for saving my life, young master. Please accept my bow!”
Cao Ang bowed with great effort.
Su Yi gently supported him and said indifferently,"It's just a small matter. General, you don't have to be polite."”
"My injuries were quite serious and I thought I wouldn't be able to live. I didn't expect to be saved by Young Master!”
"Young Master is so young, but he has such medical skills. It's really unbelievable!”
Cao Ang was full of praise.
"It's just a small trick."
Su Yi poured him a cup of tea and asked,"I heard that Zhang Xiu has already surrendered to Sikong Cao, but why is General defeated?”
Cao Ang sighed and told him the story of Zhang Xiu's surrender and betrayal.
Su Yi sipped his tea leisurely, but his face was calm.
He knew the answer, but he only asked to prove his previous judgment.
"We were determined to win this battle, but we didn't expect to be defeated by Zhang Xiu. How infuriating!”
Cao Ang pounded the table, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
"Actually, although Sikong Cao was defeated, he might have a chance to turn the tables.”
Su Yi said casually.
"Turn defeat into victory?"
Cao Ang's heart shook, and he couldn't help but ask,"Young Master, tell me, how can we turn defeat into victory?”
"Sikong Cao's troops retreated to Ye County and lost all their rations. Zhang Xiu would definitely think that Sikong Cao had no rations and would retreat to Xu Capital.”
"At this moment, if Sikong Cao leads a light army south from Ye County and returns to Wan City, he will definitely be able to catch Zhang Xiu off guard.”
"Perhaps we can regain Wan City.”
Su Yi sipped his tea and said unhurriedly.
Cao Ang thought that he would have some brilliant plan, but after hearing it, disappointment flashed across his eyes.
"Young Master, you said it yourself. Our army has lost all its rations and our soldiers are hungry. How can we have the strength to go south and fight our way back to Wan City?”
Cao Ang smiled bitterly.
"That might not be the case."
Su Yi sighed, but there was another meaning to it.
Cao Ang couldn't understand the hidden meaning behind his words, so he didn't take it seriously. Thinking that he had to rush to Ye County to meet up with Cao Cao, he got up and left.
Before they parted.
"Young Master, I owe you a favor. May I know your name?" Cao Ang asked with cupped hands.”
"I don't dare to be called a big name. I'm Su Yi.”
He didn't bother to hide it and frankly reported his name.
"Su Yi, I'll remember it. I will definitely thank you heavily in the future.”
"Farewell."
Cao Ang mounted his horse and headed towards Ye County with Cao Anmin.
…
Ye County.
Tens of thousands of defeated Cao troops had already rushed over to regroup, and the Cao army's momentum was restored.
In the county government.
Cao Cao sat up high and listened to the report of the losses.
"In this battle, our army lost three thousand soldiers, but it's not a huge loss.”
"However, the provisions we gathered for the southern expedition were all lost in Wan City. The provisions in Ye County are only enough for a few days.”
"Sikong, I'm afraid we have to retreat to Xudu as soon as possible, or we'll run out of food.”
Cao Ren sighed.
Cao Cao took a deep breath and waved his hand helplessly,""Forget it. Pass down the order. The entire army should retreat to Xudu first.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Xi Zhicai rushed in and shouted excitedly,""Sikong, we have food, we have food!”
"Zhicai, where do we get our provisions?" Cao Cao asked anxiously.”
Xi Zhicai panted and cupped his hands." Sikong, there's a grain store in Ye County. It stores nearly five thousand bushels of grain. It's enough for the army!"”
"Five thousand Hu?"
Cao Cao jumped up in surprise." A mere Ye County has so much grain. Who stored it?" he asked curiously.”
"Sikong, that grain store is owned by the Su family of Xu County. The person who stored the grain is Su Yi!”
Xi Zhicai said excitedly.
"Su Yi?"
Cao Cao's body trembled and he was stunned.
P.S. The flowers are almost two thousand. I'm begging for one. Thank you for your encouragement!
