In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

"I am here."

Cao Cao reached out and grabbed Zhao Yu's shoulder.

"I'm...hungry."

"Get something to eat."

Zhao Yu heard this.

Looking around,

This desolate place, a barren wasteland, is nothing but swamps.

Even the bark of the trees had been gnawed off by the defeated soldiers in front.

Where can I find food?

However, we must first ensure that the Prime Minister does not get into trouble.

So Zhao Yu took his knife and drew a circle around Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, it's dangerous here. Stay here and don't move."

"Okay, go and come back quickly."

Cao Cao didn't think much of it.

I'm just hungry right now. I don't have the energy to think about anything else.

【Ding. 】

[Command detected: Search for food.]

[Scene: Wild swamp (extremely barren).]

[Execution Mode: Bear Grylls channeling his inner spirit.]

Radar scan: On.

Before Zhao Yu's eyes,

A green grid map appeared.

Countless red dots flashed.

Most of them are dead.

That's inedible (it's against human ethics).

Take your time looking.

We walked forward for about several dozen meters.

The radar lit up.

However, it was very faint.

Protein reaction detected.

Location: Three feet underground.

Type: Mouse.

Zhao Yu walked to a mud pit by the roadside.

He lay down, reached out, and stuck his hand into the muddy ground.

With the system's support, the ground becomes as smooth as tofu.

He plunged down, the mud reaching above his elbow.

He was groping around inside.

My fingertips touched something furry.

I'm sleeping.

"We caught them."

Zhao Yu suddenly pulled.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Two fat rats, I don't know what breed they are.

It was covered in gray fur and was still kicking its legs.

Dig further to the side.

There was also a frozen water snake wrapped around a rat.

A den of snakes and rats?

The surrounding soldiers were stunned.

Is this okay?

He took out the tinderbox from his pocket.

It got wet from the rain.

It won't light.

It's still raining.

There was no dry firewood at all.

Zhao Yu frowned.

Cao Cao was so hungry he was about to faint, and he was staring at him longingly.

[Case Determination: Heating food.]

[Proposal: Generating heat through violent friction (Rejected, inefficient).]

[Solution: Find shelter from the rain.]

Zhao Yu was carrying two rats and a snake.

He casually felled a few trees.

A small shed was built.

It could barely be considered a place to take shelter from the rain.

Then they found several dead soldiers and tore off their inner linings.

Used as a spark.

With tremendous effort, he struck the flint with the back of his knife.

Finally, a wisp of smoke rose.

A small flame shot out.

It was not peeled.

The internal organs were not removed.

There's no time to be particular.

They were skewered directly on tree branches and roasted over a fire.

(As long as it's hairless, why worry about so much?)

"Sizzle—"

A burnt smell wafted out.

It had a mixed smell of fish and earth.

But to someone who has been starving for days, this is what they call "dragon liver and phoenix marrow."

It's priceless.

Half-cooked.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

It was pitch black.

They walked up to Cao Cao's horse, which was surrounded by guards.

"Prime Minister, meat!"

Cao Cao looked at the rat, which was as black as charcoal.

In the past, at the Prime Minister's residence in Xuchang,

Who would dare serve something like this?

He will definitely kill the cook's entire family.

But now.

This is the elixir that saves lives.

Cao Cao accepted it with trembling hands.

They didn't care about the heat or the dirt.

Open your mouth wide.

Take a bite.

"Click."

The bones were broken.

It smelled of mud and blood, like uncooked meat.

Cao Cao chewed twice.

stopped.

Tears welled up again, uncontrollably streaming down my face.

Two white marks appeared along the face covered in black ash.

"Waaaaah!"

Cao Cao cried.

She cried as she wolfed down her food.

He swallowed it all, bones and all.

"fragrant!"

"It smells so good!"

Cao Cao looked up at the sky and sighed.

"In my life, I have tasted all the delicacies of the mountains and seas."

"Never before have I enjoyed such delicious food."

"This meat...this meat saved my life!"

Cao Cao looked at Zhao Yu, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"General Zhao, you actually managed to find meat in this desolate place!"

"A loyal minister! A capable minister! I...I want to reward you!"

Zhao Yu wiped his hands beside him.

He handed the half-cooked snake to Zhang Liao and Xu Huang.

"Let's break up. Don't be disgusted."

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang dared not complain.

They snatched it and started eating it.

Rats and water snakes—who would normally give this place a second glance?

Indeed, everything is based on the environment.

finished eating.

The three of them had regained some strength.

The team then began to move again.

They walked for more than two miles.

The sky grew even darker.

The road ahead is blocked.

A mud pit lay across the middle of the road.

It was several meters wide and its depth was unfathomable.

That's a fault line carved out by flash floods.

It was full of mud and rotten grass.

The warhorses couldn't get through.

Once someone gets trapped, they're even less likely to get out.

If you go to rescue them, it's like buying one and getting two free.

Cao Cao reined in his horse.

Look at this divine retribution.

He then looked at the wounded soldiers in the ranks.

Now, what should we do?

It's already quite clear.

To survive, or for the greater cause, anything is worth sacrificing.

"Pass on the order!"

"Old, weak, and disabled soldiers, carrying bundles of grass on their backs."

"Fill the gap!"

"Cavalry... trample them!"

Hundreds of wounded soldiers, unable to walk, were forced to carry dry grass on their backs.

He jumped into the mud pit.

To act as human punching bags.

"Prime Minister! Spare my life!"

"I don't want to die!"

The cries and screams were deafening.

In the face of death, compassion is the most useless thing.

The cavalry charged past.

A horse's hoof tramples a person, and that person is obviously doomed.

The sound of bones cracking, the screams of agony.

The muddy water had truly turned into blood.

Soon, there was silence in the pit.

There was only a pile of rotten flesh and withered grass.

Zhao Yu is not a saint.

However, in the system's judgment, this approach—

[Inefficiency is too low.]

Excessive wear and tear.

[And it affects morale.]

Historically, Cao Cao had no other choice but to do this.

After the cavalry passes, only the infantry will remain to pass.

Although they were a remnant force, this was their only hope.

The pit hasn't been filled in yet.

We still need more people.

"Zhao Yu!"

"Go fill in the hole!"

(This means sending Zhao Yu to throw away the wounded soldiers)

【Ding. 】

[Instruction: Fill the gap.]

[Optimized solution: Heavy machinery operation.]

Zhao Yu walked to the roadside.

There is a huge rock there.

Half of it was buried in the soil.

Those were huge rocks that rolled down the mountain.

It weighs at least several thousand kilograms.

Zhao Yu clung to the base of the boulder.

"rise!"

A loud shout.

The earth trembled.

He pulled that massive boulder, weighing a thousand pounds, out by sheer force.

Carry it on your shoulder.

The entire army was horrified.

The soldiers who were filling the pit stopped what they were doing.

The cavalrymen, who were about to trample the man, pulled back Ma Jiang.

Everyone stared at Zhao Yu as if he were a monster.

That was the divine power of the Overlord lifting the tripod.

"Get out of the way!"

Zhao Yu roared.

The sound drowned out the sound of wind and rain.

He was carrying a huge rock.

Step by step.

I walked to the edge of the mud pit.

Each step he took left a deep hole in the mud.

"Bang!"

A huge rock was smashed in.

Blood and mud flew up, splattering onto everyone's bodies and faces.

But this is more effective than filling in a hundred people's information.

The mud pit was instantly filled in.

Not finished yet.

Zhao Yu turned around.

Walk towards the fallen, dead tree next to him.

Embrace, exert force.

Throw it into the pit.

Moving stones.

Dragging logs.

Push the horse to its death.

One person did the work of an entire engineering battalion.

Ten minutes, just ten minutes.

The road is open.

No living people are needed to go in and fill the hole.

The wounded soldiers who were supposed to be thrown in to fill the pit knelt on the ground.

He kowtowed to Zhao Yu.

A row of cries.

"Thank you, General, for saving my life!"

"Thank you, General!"

Cao Cao was riding a horse.

Watching Zhao Yu's busy figure...

I increasingly feel like I've struck gold.

He loved his soldiers like his own children, and possessed unparalleled superhuman strength.

This sentiment and righteousness are worthy of heaven and earth to bear witness!
