Three Kingdoms: Refused to lend Zhao Yun at the beginning!

"Arithmetic!"

Gongsun Jing smiled lightly.

Guo Jia was even more confused: "What is it?"

"Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Lu Bu in Xuzhou, Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, Zhang Yang in Hanoi!"

"I will report the people and the army of the four places to the mansion through the embroidered clothes guards. You have to figure out how much food they consume in a year and how strong their troops are!"

"We borrowed merchants from the four prefectures to do so many things in Xuchang. Cao Cao will definitely guard against the merchants from the four prefectures, and even prohibit merchants from doing business. What we have to do is to sell grain, cattle and sheep to Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Zhang Yang!"

"Food can only be sold in a sufficient amount for a year, and the price is even lower!"

"This time, we will use potatoes and sweet potatoes to suppress the food prices in the three places, and then buy them corn, rice, etc., and use our food to overwhelm their local food, and control their food lifeline!" Gongsun Jing looked at Burning Road.

"Lord!"

Xun Chen frowned and said, "What does this have to do with Yanzhou?"

Gongsun Jing shook his head, and said with a faint smile: "The severe drought in Guanzhong, Yanzhou is not so easy. Cao Cao has been fighting for years, and the food and grass are not enough to support him. In addition to restricting merchants from the four states, the Mi family has withdrawn from the ranks of grain merchants. Therefore, Yanzhou's military strength will shrink, we not only need to empty out the three lands and control their food and grass lifelines, but also force Cao Cao to let go of merchants and merchants, only in this way can we smash Yanzhou's grain and grass prices in one fell swoop!"

"Lord!"

Zhen Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Cao Mengde is not a fool either!"

"Ha ha!"

"you're right!"

Gongsun Jing laughed and said: "So we want to force Cao Cao to open up business, but we can't sell too much food and grass, and we can't cut prices too quickly. We can't eat away at the enemy little by little. This is business, and it's why you need to calculate!"

Guo Jia said thoughtfully: "Master, I seem to understand something!"

"Simple!"

"When the food price goes down, the gentry and powerful people will give up some good land!"

"Cao Cao and the others don't have enough tax revenue, but they have to support soldiers to fight in all directions, so they can only buy cheap food from us!"

"And we bought back the grain in the hands of the people under their rule. They had no more food to collect, and entered a terrible cycle. At that time, they were extremely dependent on the grain we sold in the past. As long as this war opens up, they will only lose One end!" Jia Xu said with admiration in his eyes.

"I understand too!"

Ju Shou said in amazement: "Cao Cao has no food, as long as one side starts the war and has enough food, Yanzhou is extremely short of food and grass, so he will reopen the food road!"

"Just understand!"

Gongsun Jing's eyes were full of confidence.

This commercial war requires the right time, place and people.

Cao Cao has a strategy of garrisoning the fields, and if he has enough time, he can definitely solve the problem of food and grass.

But now Cao Cao has no time, because the Daye Mansion is too powerful and powerful, oppressing Yanzhou to fight and expand all the time, there is not enough time to make any farming strategies!

Therefore, he has full confidence in this business war!

Xuchang.

Sikong Mansion.

Cao Cao said with a livid face, "Everyone, what do you think?"

"Lord!"

Chen Qun stood up and said, "Gongsun Changping's intention to call himself emperor has been clearly revealed. Whether it is the Daye Mansion or the Three Provinces and Six Ministries, it is enough to prove that he has completely ignored the Han royal family and has begun to form his own dynasty system. This is a great rebellion! "

"So what if it's reversed?"

Xun shook his head and said hoarsely, "If he dares to do this, we should help him!"

"Wen Ruo!"

Cao Cao said angrily.

Xun got up and sighed: "My lord, we need to formalize our past. If Gongsun Changping hadn't entered Xuchang, there would be no such thing as abandoning the official and abolishing the title. Yehou's mansion naturally stands above the four states, and he will be resisted by the people if he changes his appearance. !"

"Not bad!"

Zhao Yan nodded.

Xi Zhicai said bitterly: "Now, the whole world is saying that we tried to kill Gongsun Changping, and even the common people have started to destroy the ancestral halls of the Han royal family in various places. The people of Yanzhou are not small in their resistance to us!"

"Why is this happening!"

Cao Cao roared with aggrieved eyes.

"Family and country righteousness!"

"We are not wronged to lose!"

Xun said with a complex expression: "Gongsun Changping regained Bingzhou, eliminated the influence of killing Kong Rong and Liu Yu, and the people all over the world admired him in the battle of Pingcheng. The status of the middle school has surpassed that of the royal family of Han, this person is really too good at manipulating people's hearts!"

Cao Cao asked suddenly: "Is the righteousness of the family and the country more prosperous than the banner of the Han royal family?"

(Qian Wangzhao) "Master!"

Chen Qun said helplessly: "This matter has long been controversial. In our eyes, the Han royal family may be more important than the common people, but in the eyes of the common people, it is just a change of ruler. The 400-year-old prestige of the Han Dynasty has long since dissipated. Meng Sheng said, The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least, this is Gongsun Changping's method!"

"What the long article said is absolutely true!"

Xun, Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yan and others agreed.

Cao Cao looked at Xun with some uncertainty, and asked, "Wen Ruo, what do you think he is waiting for?"

"Wait for what?"

Xun's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Gongsun Changping is dormant. He is not afraid of the alliance of princes in the world, but for better siege. I think he is waiting for the stability of the four states. officials to rule over the territory he has conquered!"

"Clap!"

Cao Cao slapped the shore and said decisively: "Starting tomorrow, Yanzhou will prohibit merchants from the four states from doing business. The army is ready to conquer Xuzhou. Regardless of whether Yuan Shu will still be called emperor, we must take Xuzhou!"

"Lord!"

Xun Shen said: "The great Han in Guanzhong and Yanzhou have also been affected. In addition, we have been fighting for years and have no food and grass. If Yanzhou bans merchants, it will definitely make us lose the capital to fight, and the people will starve to death everywhere!"

"Wen Ruo!"

"Do you remember how you were held hostage?"

Cao Cao's voice was full of violence, and he rebuked angrily: "The merchants from the four states are just a sand tent where Gongsun Jing hides his soldiers and horses. If he can hold you hostage this time, I'm afraid my head will be placed on his desk tomorrow." Already!"

"Here!"

Xun said helplessly.

Cao Cao glanced at the crowd, and said coldly: "In the future, all purchases in the mansions of the ministers must be strictly inspected. Even if Yanzhou is full of starvation and our army is unable to fight in all directions, I, Cao Mengde, will not let merchants from the four states do business!"

"Here!"

Everyone should drink.

PS: The last one was banned, it is estimated that it will be released tomorrow!toilet.

Chapter 110

Yanzhou bans business.

The merchants from the four states in Xuchang have already retreated.

Merchants from the four states in other counties also withdrew from Yanzhou, and the results were obvious.

In the month approaching the cold winter, countless people have no food to eat, and they are already eating the grain of the second year.

The food and grass crisis in Yanzhou is slowly starting.

mid-October.

Countless merchants from the four states poured into Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Hanoi under the command of Xiuyiwei.

The lack of grain and grass caused by the severe drought and cold winter was alleviated instantly, and the extremely cheap grain and grass prices began to overwhelm the grain prices in the three places a little bit. In addition to selling grain and cattle and sheep from the four states, there were also truckloads of rice and corn shipped back to Jizhou .

This huge plan has just started, and it has already achieved initial results.

Yanzhou was short of food.

Reduce military pay and reduce the amount of meals for soldiers.

In a month's time, the army has begun to weaken, but the other three places are in a state of fierceness.

Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Zhang Yang.

They don't know that they are somewhat dependent on merchants from the four states.

However, Cao Cao's soldiers have been sharpened, and they must solve the urgent need of food and grass.

Nearly two months.

The changes in the four places are astonishingly terrifying.

Xuchang.

Sikong Mansion.

Cao Cao lost his appetite looking at the corn in the bowl, and couldn't help asking, "Wen Ruo, is our food and grass so scarce? I've been eating corn for ten days, and I almost vomited!"

"Extremely lacking!"

Xun Fan looked at the documents of the various counties, and said in a deep voice: "My lord still has corn to eat, but some people have already eaten up next year's spring seeds. Thousands of people were starved to death and frozen to death!"

"so serious?"

Cao Cao frowned and said, "I remember that the first two months were not so scary!"

Xun shook his head, and said complicatedly: "There has been a severe drought in Guanzhong for several years, and the harvest in Yanzhou is not very good. Food is cheap, so it creates the illusion that we have no shortage of food and grass, and after the merchants are expelled, the people have nowhere to buy food, and this situation naturally appeared!"

"What about the Mi family?"

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Where are the merchants from other places?"

Xun shook his head and smiled wryly: "My lord, since Liu Bei became the shepherd of Xuzhou, the Mi family has changed from a grain merchant to a noble family. In order to support Liu Bei to raise soldiers, the Mi family has been exhausted. I am no longer qualified to do business, and the price of grain in the four states is extremely low, merchants from Yangzhou, Jingzhou and other places have no possibility of coming to Yanzhou and other places to sell grain!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said, "Yanzhou is short of food, and Xuzhou and Yuzhou are also short of food!"

"No shortage!"

Xun said solemnly: "Since we expelled the merchants from the four prefectures, they have poured into Xuzhou, Hanoi, Hedong, Yuzhou and other places to sell grain. Yuan Shu and Lu Bu also bought a lot. Now the princes and soldiers around us are full of fine food, and they even make public Hushi Henan Yin, who has already begun to prepare his troops!"

"what?"

Cao Cao was shocked and furious.

Xun Zheng said: "My lord, we are all powerful enemies on all sides. Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are preparing to attack Yanzhou. Zhang Yang is also preparing to step out of Hanoi. They are no longer afraid of the threat of the Han royal family. This is the reason why Gongsun Changping entered Xuchang." future trouble!"

"boom!"

Cao Cao threw his chopsticks on the table and said in a cold voice, "Zaozhi, Han Hao and the others offered a strategy of farming. We don't need to rely on others to sell food to solve our own crisis. Merchants from the four states must not be put in Yanzhou!"

"My lord!"

"I've seen Tun Tian Ce too!"

Xun said helplessly: "The strategy of farming requires a lot of energy from the army and the people. It will take at least two or three years to solve our food shortage problem, but do we have so much time? I am afraid that Daye Mansion will destroy my Yanzhou in two or three years!"

"what do you want to say?"

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly focused.

Xun took a deep breath and explained: "Because of the disaster relief, our grain and grass are no longer enough to support the army to attack the entire Xuzhou. Even if the lord does not allow merchants from the four states to do business in Yanzhou, then we can let the powerful people of Yanzhou go to the four states to buy grain. This will temporarily ease our difficulties!"

"This is a great plan!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up immediately.

Xun bowed and said, "I'll arrange this right now!"

"Ok!"

Cao Cao waved his hand.

mid-December.

Xun integrated a caravan and sent it to the four states.
