Liu Bei's inquiry, everyone was silent for a while. At this time, Jian Yong said: "It is better to transfer grain from Xuzhou, although it takes a month to come and go, it should be able to be used by the army." ”

Tian Feng shook his head after hearing this: "There is not much grain and grass in Xuzhou, it takes time and effort to go back and forth, and the grain and grass obtained can only support it for three or two more months." ”

At this time, Jia Xu opened his mouth and said: "Lord, it's better to go to the rich families and families in the city to borrow grain!" There was no surplus grain in the treasury, but there must have been a lot of grain in the homes of those families and wealthy families, and if they could borrow it, they would be able to solve their urgent needs. ”

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Liu Bei's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said happily: "Wen He's plan is very good. According to Wenhe's words, Yuan Hao, you come and send people to borrow grain from various families and rich families in the city! ”

Tian Feng saw that Liu Bei had opened his mouth to work, so he smiled bitterly and took over the task. After the matter of military rations was settled, Liu Bei decided to raise 50,000 troops, and Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others set off with the army for three days.

Not to mention the assembly of the army, but after Tian Feng returned to the mansion, he began to send people to borrow grain from various families and wealthy families in the city. Liu Bei has been in Qingzhou for a long time and is kind to the people all day long, so he has a good reputation among the people. So Tian Feng sent someone to borrow grain, and he quickly responded, but the borrowing was borrowed, but the amount was really small. After turning around, only 15,000 loads of grain were gathered, which was only enough for an army of 50,000 for ten days.

Tian Feng reported this time to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei couldn't help but be annoyed after hearing it. Naturally, he knew that the food in the homes of those families and wealthy families must have far exceeded this amount. However, Liu Bei Renyi couldn't do anything to forcibly rob people and property, so Liu Bei himself was very angry, but there was nothing too good to do. So he was ready to use Jian Yong's method to transfer grain from Xuzhou. At this time, the guards came to report to Guo Tu to ask for a meeting.

Liu Bei was stunned at the time, this Guo Tu had been thrown by Liu Bei under Jia Xu since he surrendered and served in the shadows. Since then, Liu Bei has not seen him at all, and he doesn't want to suddenly come over today to ask for a meeting. "Looks like something's wrong!" Liu Bei thought as he asked the guards to bring him in.

The guards turned around and went out, and after a while, they took Guo Tu to the lobby. Guo Tu saluted Liu Bei and said, "Lord, Tu took the liberty to come today, but he actually came here to offer a plan for the lord." ”

"Oh!" Liu Bei listened to it and said, "Will the plan be released?" ”

Guo Tu arched his hand again and said: "This time, the lord ordered to go to various families and rich families in the city to borrow grain, and I guess I didn't get much!" Although he is not willing to offer a plan, he can help the lord get a large amount of food. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "You come quickly!" "Yes!" Guo Tu replied and continued: "The lord only said to borrow, but he didn't say when he would return it, let alone give him interest, which is the reason why the families and wealthy families did not borrow grain from the lord on a large scale. Therefore, I suggested that the lord should send someone to borrow grain, and at the same time agree that he would pay it back after the autumn. At the same time, he told them not only to return the borrowed grain, but also to add an extra 10% as interest at the end. Then the number of those who will borrow food will surely increase greatly. ”

Saying this, Guo Tu paused, and then continued: "Just now, for the first one, the second lord can borrow grain from the merchants in the city, and exempt them from taxes according to the amount of grain borrowed. In this way, there will be a lot of grain and grass for the lord's army. ”

Liu Bei listened to him the whole time without interrupting. At this time, seeing that he had finished speaking, he laughed and said: "The public is a great talent, if you can borrow food this time, you can succeed!" The public should be the first to take the lead! Guo Tu was happy when he heard Liu Bei's praise, but he was really humble on his face, and he didn't even dare to say it!

So on the same day, Liu Bei sent people to borrow grain according to Guo Tu's words, and at the same time set up a banquet in the mansion to entertain Guo Tu. During the banquet, the two talked loudly, and Liu Bei suddenly took a closer fancy to him, and regarded him as a strategist at the moment, and decided to transfer him to his side.

The second borrowing went very smoothly, and the families and wealthy families lent a total of 180,000 loads of grain. This is not counting the 100,000 quintals of grain borrowed from the merchants in the city. Liu Bei saw that the food was sufficient, and immediately raised 50,000 troops to kill Bohai City.

When Liu Bei sent out his troops, Lu Longcheng was experiencing the test of life and death at the moment! Today is the fifth day of the defense of the city, and the casualties among the soldiers in the city have intensified, and there are less than 10,000 soldiers to fight at this moment.

Above the city, Zhao Yun stood there with a bright silver spear in his hand, he always remembered Han Fei's words, and was ready to lead his troops to attack the camp tonight. At this time, the Wuhuan people rushed up to the city, and two of them were twin brothers, Barton and Baron. These two men are the two generals of the Aries tribe.

Each of these two brothers has the strength of a thousand catties, two people and two big knives, even if they meet wolves on the grassland, they can also retreat. This time he hid among ordinary Wuhuan people, just to find an opportunity to kill Zhao Yun. Qiu Liju knew that Zhao Yunnai was the most powerful military general in the city at this moment, and if he could be killed, it would be much easier to take the city.

Zhao Yun didn't know that he had become the prey of the pair of brothers at this moment, and when he was fighting, he suddenly felt two strong winds rushing towards him. Zhao Yun was shocked in his heart, and jumped back on tiptoe. He dodged, but one of Zhao Yun's guards became a substitute for the dead.

was slashed into the chest by Baron, and died on the spot with a scream. Zhao Yun looked up when he heard the scream, and his anger surged up at the moment. The bright silver spear in his hand shook and rushed to kill the two of them. When Barton saw the gun coming, he immediately swung his knife to parry. On the other side, Baron also drew a knife from the corpse of the guard, and slashed Zhao Yun with his head and face.

Zhao Yun forced Barton back with one shot, let him raise his gun to parry, and just put Baron's big knife on top of his head. Then he lifted Baron away, and was about to shoot him back when Barton's broadsword slashed again. didn't give Zhao Yun a chance to make a move at all.

Zhao Yun had no choice but to wave his gun to parry, and he just blocked Barton here. Baron's broadsword slashed again. Zhao Yun still knew at this time that these two people were definitely not ordinary Wuhuan people, and he was afraid that they were specially here to deal with him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun suddenly took two steps back without warning. At this time, when they were fighting for life and death, with Zhao Yun's sudden retreat, the two brothers Barton and Baron suddenly lost the target of the attack. The offensive slowed down, and at this moment Zhao Yun's gun came. I saw that he shook the bright silver spear in his hand, and the hundred birds and phoenix spears appeared instantly. Seven spearheads stabbed at the two brothers.

When Barton and Baron saw this shot, their faces couldn't help but change. Without discussion, they retreated at the same time. And the big knife in his hand kept waving, hoping to resolve Zhao Yun's move. But Zhao Yun's move was so easy to defuse, and a miserable scream rang out. Zhao Yun's shot was pierced in Patton's shoulder.
