However, these solutions cannot really solve the problem, it can only be said that it can solve the urgent need, and there will definitely be a series of problems in the future.

There were refugees first, famine, after three or four months of consumption, the government left not much official food, if you want to use troops, there is absolutely no food, helpless household servants can only apply to buy from those grain merchants.

So the next day, the government's grain collection had already begun, of course, it was stated that the refugees were in urgent need of food, but the effect was obviously not very good. The government's large-scale grain collection has undoubtedly sent a signal to the major grain merchants that there will be a shortage of grain in the future.

As the saying goes, if there is a shortage of food in the future, then it will be sold later, and there will definitely be a better price. Grain merchants are mercenary, and they don't care what mess you do. Anyway, for them, no matter what kind of world it is, people still have to eat, and as long as someone eats, their food will not be sold.

What's more, when the government collects grain, in order not to make people restless, in most cases, it is mainly voluntary, and as for the strong ones, it can only be bandits, and the government cannot do such a thing.

After three or two days of this requisition, the news of the popular revolt had somehow spread among the people. Think about it, you also know that although the current communication is not developed, there are still some things, and if such a big thing happens in the event of a civil uprising, can it be concealed for a while?

Therefore, the grain requisition work, which was not smooth in the first place, fell into a dead end directly after this news came out, and not a single grain of grain could be harvested.

There is a saying that human nature is selfish, and when you are hungry and the soldiers in front are hungry, the choice of most people under the choice of the two parties actually makes the soldiers in front hungry.

Luotianfu made a fuss because of the matter of requisitioning grain, in the south, when Li Baiqing, the general of Zhennan, received the letter, it was already five days after receiving the letter, and after a simple point of troops, Li Baiqing personally led the troops to rush to the direction of Luotianfu, and finally caught up with those refugees after four days, and successfully met the forbidden army in Longxia and Luotianfu, and stationed on the spot to guard the city wall.

When the refugee army passed by, there was a beautiful ambush. After three or four battles, relying on the strong city wall and excellent military quality, it can be regarded as keeping the Southern People's Army out of the city wall.

But that's all they can do, with the troops brought by Li Baiqing, plus the number of forbidden troops compared with those refugee troops, there is still a gap of nearly twice as much.

Although the refugees are all scattered, it has to be said that when the number of people is twice as different, even if the manpower and forbidden army brought by Li Baiqing are well-trained, they are not sure that they can win.

The manpower they are holding on to now is all that can be mobilized in the whole country in a short period of time. Therefore, if they rashly send troops to defeat, there will be no room for recovery.

Under the concerns of many parties, even Li Baiqing, the general of Zhennan, who is known for his decisiveness and ruthlessness, did not dare to rashly send troops, for fear that he would accidentally suffer a defeat and annihilate the whole army.

A civil uprising has been stalemate, for Li Zhanji, this is not a good result, but it does not seem to be so bad, after all, there is still some room for redemption.

And for the Cao family, the leader of the five families, this is not a good result, because he knows that he has no reinforcements, but Li Zhanji has, once Li Zhanji is given enough time, Li Zhanji can mobilize more troops.

Or once Li Zhanji is given enough time to make up his mind and gather back the soldiers guarding the border pass, these miscellaneous soldiers organized by the Cao family will definitely be defeated with one blow.

Therefore, on the one hand, the Cao family actively collected food and increased rewards for soldiers, and on the other hand, they were constantly recruiting new people to rush to the direction of Dragon Canyon.

The Cao family knew how dangerous the terrain of the Dragon Canyon was, and he also knew that if he couldn't have an absolute overwhelming advantage in numbers, it would be absolutely impossible to attack this place.

As time went on, more and more refugee soldiers were hoarded outside the Dragon Canyon. However, they did not rashly launch an attack, but all piled up in the city management and did not move.

On the other side, the increasing number of people also increased the strong psychological pressure on the Zhennan general Li Baiqing, and at the same time increased the pressure on the soldiers guarding this place.

But Li Baiqing and the pressure they are facing are not only these, but also the food problem, the terrain of the Dragon Canyon is dangerous, and the city wall built by relying on the terrain is an excellent position for defense.

But the problem also happens to be above the danger of this question, and the terrain is dangerous means that the terrain is not good. Places with poor terrain tend to have fewer people, because such places are not suitable for human economic development.

If the economy is backward, there will be fewer people who can feed them, and if there are fewer people, the grain merchants will bring less grain. Therefore, there is not too much food stored in this city, and in addition, the terrain is dangerous, and it is not very convenient to transport food, so at this time, the soldiers guarding the Dragon Canyon are almost to the point of running out of ammunition and food.

Under the pressure from the outside and the pressure from the inside, Li Baiqing was not confident that he could hold out for how long, let alone launch an attack.

Therefore, it can be said that the two sides have a tacit understanding that after three or four battles, they completely stopped, and a temporary peaceful situation was formed.

When the news of the lack of food came back to Luo Tianfu, Li Zhanji was really a little panicked, although Li Zhanji had never been on the battlefield, but he knew very little about the cruelty on the battlefield.

Although these cruelties are only known from some dramas, they are neither real nor profound. However, although Li Zhanji does not understand the battlefield, he understands human nature very well.

It's really because he understands, so Li Zhanji knows that no matter who is anyone, it is impossible to persevere in the case of starvation while desperately trying to survive.

So when Li Zhanji received the news, he directly gave a death order to the Tobe squire:

"No matter what method you use, even if it is to rob it, you have to gather the military supplies of Dragon Canyon, if there is no way before every day, you will not be a squire of the Ministry of Works."

Liu Bao, the household servant, was also helpless, and he also knew that there was a shortage of grain and grass on the front line. But he is just a person, not an immortal, can he still conjure food out of thin air?

So he didn't have any clue when he thought about it, and thought of Liu Zuxiang, the teacher who came to him.

Liu Zuxiang has also been a household waiter, and he is also familiar with these things, and he must give some experience to talk about.
