Cao Cao's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he scolded: "Dianwei, do you think we can get out of Yecheng alive after we go to Jizhou? Gongsun Changping's methods are extremely cruel. If we go, there will be no bones left. You think everyone Are they all the same as him?"
Dian Wei lowered his head even more, and said bitterly: "The general knows his mistake!"
Cao Cao looked at Xun and asked, "The autumn harvest is over, have you borrowed food from the gentry?"
"borrowed!"
Xun shook his head and said hoarsely, "The nobles have no food!"
Cao Cao was furious and said, "I, Cao Mengde, did not treat them badly. Now that the battle with Daye Mansion is imminent, won't I ask them to borrow some food?"
"It's not that I don't want to borrow it!"
Xun was full of helplessness, and explained: "The gentry really have no food. When merchants from the four states flooded into Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places, the price of food has been suppressed and dropped. The stored grain was released because they were worried that the grain would rot in the warehouse, and in July and August, some merchants secretly bought the grain and grass of the gentry, and Xuzhou was emptied long ago, and Yanzhou was also emptied!"
"Empty?"
Cao Cao didn't understand what Xun meant.
"Empty!"
Xun's eyes were bloodshot, and he said hoarsely: "The local food in Yanzhou is only [-] shi. I have already found a way to buy food from other states and counties, but because we buy too much food a year to support wars and disaster relief , the entire imperial court has no money!"
"Gudong!"
Chen Qun, Xi Zhicai and others swallowed.
Cao Cao couldn't believe it: "You mean, we have no money or food now?"
"No money is real!"
Xun Yuyu said: "We can buy food from merchants from the four states. We only hope that they will not withdraw from Yanzhou and Xuzhou under the command of Gongsun Changping and Daye Mansion, otherwise it will be our nightmare!"
"how is this possible!"
Cao Cao collapsed on the big chair.
A business actually emptied Yanzhou and Xuzhou.
"Daye Mansion!"
"Gongsun Changping's war against us has already begun!"
"The sale of grain and grass before entering Xuchang is telling us that there is no shortage of grain in the four states!"
"The trip to Xuchang trampled on the reputation of the Han royal family and the lord, and even threatened the lord with merchants and seven thousand fire oil, just to promote the ban on business, force the lord to conquer Xuzhou, and let Yanzhou enter a foodless situation!"
"When the ban was lifted, Yanzhou's money and the gentry's food were emptied in a short period of time!"
"My lord, it's hard to believe what Daye Mansion and Gongsun Changping have done, and I don't want to believe that he can be so strong, taking one step at a time and making ten steps. Every decision he makes is hollowing out Yanzhou and Xuzhou. The trip to Xuchang It's even more crucial!" Xun Man said in a decadent voice.
He is known as Wang Zuo.
But Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai, Chen Qun and others were fighting outside.
There are too many things he needs to worry about, and he has no time to take into account the changes in food prices.
If the changes in food prices could have been discovered earlier, this terrible disaster might have been prevented, but it was too late.
"is it possible?"
Cao Cao asked blankly.
Xi Zhicai, Chen Qun and the others were silent for a while.
Although I don't want to believe it, there is always a voice in my mind, which keeps roaring that this is what Daye Mansion said, this is a war between Gongsun Changping and Cao Cao, and they lost a complete defeat.
"Send troops!"
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and roared, "Take the food from all the merchants in the four states!"
Xun shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "The food in the four states is delivered every ten days, and it will be consumed in three days. The people and our food are always on the same line. There will be no shortage, but there will be no amount left. There is not much food for the merchants, but the merchants will be cut off and continue to sell!"
"what?"
Cao Cao looked even uglier.
Feeling powerless, Xun said, "My lord, I'm really helpless. Since you set off on the expedition, I have been running around for the court and the people everywhere every day, and I have to worry about food and grass for the army. This has caused a catastrophe!"
"Make money!"
Chen Qun said with a complex expression: "The granary of the Chen family is also empty, and now we can only mint five baht coins and buy it with merchants from the four states. We need to buy enough grain before they react, so as to prevent the Daye Mansion from cutting off the business road." , completely knocked us down into the abyss!"
Xi Zhicai said solemnly: "What Chang Wen said is absolutely true!"
"Cast it!"
Cao Cao looked gloomy and cold.
If they hadn't discovered it early, once the war started and the commercial road was cut off, it would be a situation of eternal doom.
Yanzhou was emptied of money and food.
Cao Cao ordered to mint money, and Jizhou also began to be busy.
The news of Gongsun Jing's wedding was not announced to the people.
Youzhou Tian Kai, Guan Jing and others had already escorted Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Xu came ahead of time.
Early November.
Yecheng Avenue.
Gongsun Zan lived in the carriage.
People can be seen driving on the road through the bamboo curtain.
"Father!"
Gongsun Xu respectfully said: "We are about to arrive at my brother's Daye Mansion. This is Yecheng Avenue, which leads directly from the city gate to my brother's Daye Mansion and Jizhou Governor's Mansion. There are no strong troops stationed in the city, only patrols and regular troops. The regular army never participated in the battle, and was only responsible for guarding some important areas, delivering food, grass and camping wood to the main force of the Tenth Battalion!"
"Ok!"
Gongsun Zan's eyes were filled with relief.
Gongsun Xu explained again: "My brother's three provinces and six ministries are above the governor's office of the four states. The military and government are closely related. The main force has always been in the hands of my brother. As for the regular army, it is dispatched by the military department!"
"Ancient Zhou Dynasty!"
"That was an era of feudal rule!"
"In the pre-Qin era, Qin Wangzheng used the prefecture and county system to hold the world in his hands!"
"In today's troubled times, your elder brother uses three provinces and six ministries to rule the world's political power, and even holds the general power in his hands. As long as the military power is not released, the ten battalion's combat strength will remain the same. No one dares to disobey your elder brother, which shows how tough his methods are! "Gongsun Zan said with emotion!
"Father!"
Gongsun Xu smiled wryly and said, "Don't you want to ask brother what he wants?"
Gongsun Zan shook his head, and said calmly: "No matter what he does, he is my son, Gongsun Bogui, your good brother. He separated the Gongsun family from Daye Mansion just to take refuge and become the same existence as the Han royal family. The capable ones live there!"
"Ok!"
Gongsun Xu nodded.
Go to Daye Mansion.
All civil and military officials have been waiting.
"Father!"
Gongsun Jing stepped forward.
Gongsun Zan glanced at the crowd of civil and military men, and said with emotion: "Daye Mansion is already so powerful, no wonder Cao Mengde and others are so afraid of you. It seems that you are indeed qualified to be the overlord of the world!"
"where!"
Gongsun Jing did not support him.
Gongsun Zan was a general born in northern Xinjiang.
There is a toughness in his bones, and he absolutely cannot tolerate being supported by others.
"General Gongsun!"
Guo Jia, Du Xi, Cheng Yu and others all bowed.
Gongsun Zan was able to hand over Youzhou to Gongsun Jing, which was a gift to his father and son, but for them, it really made Daye Mansion the power to control the four states.
This sense of righteousness deserves their respect.
"Ok!"
Gongsun Zan nodded slightly and said, "Jing'er has made it this far, thank you all for your support. As for the affairs of the Daye Mansion, I won't get involved, so you should leave. Those who don't know will think that some great person has come!"
"This……!"
Guo Jia, Xun You and others looked at Gongsun Jing,
"Go away!"
Gongsun Jing waved his hand.
At this time, Zhang Xiu hurried over and whispered in his ear: "My lord, something serious happened in Yanzhou!"
"Ok?"
Gongsun Jing frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Gongsun Zan smiled lightly and said, "Go and do your work, as long as you let Guan Jing and Tian Kai stay!"
"it is good!"
Gongsun Jing nodded.
not long time.
One side of the governor's mansion.
Gongsun Jing took the secret report from Zhang Xiu, raised his eyebrows and said, "Xun Wenruo deserves to be Wang Zuozhi's talent, who took charge of Cao Cao's internal affairs by himself, and discovered our plan in such a short period of time!"
"Found?"
Guo Jia and Jia Xu were slightly taken aback.
Zhen Yan frowned and said, "Master, are we going to withdraw all the merchants?"
"Don't withdraw!"
Gongsun Jing's eyes were full of jokes, and he said: "I thought they would only find out at the end of the new year, but it's even better to find out now, and the third step of our plan can also be carried out!"
"Oh?"
Xun You, Du Xi's eyes lit up.
A few months ago, Gongsun Jing took Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zhen Yan and the others to plan something.
They only had a little understanding, not at all, of what was going on.
But now it seems that this plan is directed at Yanzhou, and the matter is of great importance.
"Zhang Xiu!"
Gongsun Jing threw the secret report into the brazier.
"The end is here!"
Zhang Xiu bowed and said.
"The war has begun!"
"From now on, once it is detected that Cao Cao puts a large amount of five baht money into the market to buy grain from the four states!"
"You let the merchants increase the price of grain by five times, ten times, twenty times, and keep raising the price of grain to [-] yuan a dendrobium!"
"From now until the end of the new year, we will invest two months of food in Yanzhou, and then let all merchants secretly withdraw from Yanzhou and Xuzhou!"
"Cao Cao's two prefectures will run out of food and grass by mid-February at the most, and by then the money in Yanzhou and Xuzhou will be worthless. Even if he reacts, he will not be able to buy food from other states and counties to support the war!" Gongsun Jing said in a deep voice. road.
"Here!"
Zhang Xiu exited the lobby of the Governor's Mansion.
Gongsun Jing rubbed his brows, and said with relief: "From the beginning to now, this plan has been more than a year, and it's time to enter the final stage. When I attacked Yanzhou, Cao Cao had no food to eat inside, and money had already become a thing of the past." A pile of copper shavings, if you can't win, I don't think Daye Mansion is qualified to compete with the world's heroes for the highest position!"
"Here!"
Xun You, Du Xi and others said with pride.
