In the wine shop, some people knew who Uncle Liu Huang was, so they explained Liu Bei's resume to everyone.

"Uncle Liu Huang is so benevolent and righteous, we big guys can rest assured!" After hearing about Uncle Liu's experience, many business travelers were relieved. Since Uncle Liu Huang is the king of benevolence and righteousness, I think the soldiers under his command are not a brutal army, right?

In this way, after the city was broken, these merchants who were stranded in Hanzhong City would not have to worry about being troubled by the rebels.

How benevolent and righteous is Uncle Liu?

Beihai wine Kong Rong, Liu Huang Shuren is not benevolent?

Xuzhou rescued Tao Qian, and resigned from Xuzhou three times, Liu Huang Shuren is not benevolent?

Also, now that the displaced people are being resettled in Shangyong and other places, is Uncle Liu Huang benevolent and righteous?

After knowing these deeds, all the merchants praised "Uncle Liu Huang's benevolence and righteousness".

This person just finished speaking, but only one person in the crowd sneered: "What about Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, is it that our Hanzhong is too conservative to be benevolent and righteous?" Zhang Taishou's kindness to the military and civilians of Hanzhong, can't you forget it? ! ”

Normally, when a merchant traveler talks about a certain prince, they will use honorifics. At the very least, they have to be called by their names, and few of them are called by their names. This person called Liu Bei's name directly, and his words were already disrespectful.

At the table next to him, a few people couldn't help but start and teach this person a lesson, but they were pulled by the first person:

"We still have important tasks, and we must not act rashly!"

At this time, a merchant who only listened to a Jingxiang accent retorted: "As this brother said, Zhang Taishou may also be very benevolent. But Zhang Taishou's benevolence and righteousness are for the people of Hanzhong, but how many of our people are the people of Hanzhong? ”

"We are all merchants, not the people of this Hanzhong County!"

"If Zhang Taishou is really benevolent and righteous, then it is time to let our group of business travelers out of the city, so that there is no need to delay the goods in the city, and there is no need to waste money in the city. Anyway, Uncle Liu Huang outside the city is benevolent and righteous, and most of them will not embarrass us. ”

The rebuttal of this Jingxiang merchant won everyone's approval for a while.

These merchant travelers traveled south and north, knowing that Zhang Lu was really good to the people of Hanzhong, otherwise there would not be so many military and civilian allegiance. Of course, this benevolence is also limited, and they don't feel it anyway.

After Jingxiang's business traveler refuted, another person from the many business travelers continued:

"Now, Uncle Liu Huang's 50,000 troops are besieging the city, and there are also 30,000 troops in Hanzhong City, but Zhang Taishou is only guarding the city, but he has not seen him go out of the city for a decisive battle. If it goes on like this, when will it be a head? ”

"Mrs. Zhang has food in his hands, but we are all business travelers, and we have to spend money to buy food!"

"Besides, if this is consumed for a long time, the food in the city will be limited. And Uncle Liu Huang's army outside the city, it is said that Liu Jingzhou has an unlimited supply of grain and grass, which can completely consume the shortage of food in our Hanzhong City. ”

"At that time, we're afraid that we won't be able to buy food even if we have money, right?"

"Aren't we going to starve to death in the city?"

"So, it doesn't matter who occupies Hanzhong City, as long as you can open the city gate and let me wait out of the city!"

The words of this business traveler were instantly approved by everyone.

As this person said, if Uncle Liu Huang really besieged but did not attack, when the grain and grass in Hanzhong City ran out, the first ones who could not hold it would be their merchants. Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu may be benevolent and righteous, but when life and death are at stake, how can it be possible to give food to these merchants?

……

Before sunset, the merchants in the wine shop finally dispersed.

After dark, there is a curfew in Hanzhong City. At this time, it was wartime, and those who were still wandering the streets at night would be punished on the spot, and they would not be able to dredge up more than usual. Therefore, before sunset, business travelers will return to their accommodation to rest.

During the day, the Hanzhong Army patrol will investigate, but will not arrest and kill without asking right and wrong.

Among the dispersed crowd, five people returned to a shop at the same time, but it was a property of the Donghai Mi clan in Hanzhong City.

After entering the door, Gan Ning couldn't hold back any longer: "If you hadn't stopped Wen Chang just now, I would have to teach that person a lesson." ”

In the wine shop just now, someone was disrespectful to Uncle Liu Huang in words, which made Gan Ning very uncomfortable. Gan Ning, although he is also a little unruly, but if he is the lord he approves, he can't tolerate others.

"Brother Xingba, lurking in Hanzhong City, has an important mission, and you can't lose a big one because of a small one." Wei Yan smiled bitterly.

In other words, if it was possible, why didn't he Wei Yan want to teach that person a lesson?

"However, the emotions of those business travelers have finally been stirred up. In a few days, maybe these business trips will be able to help us. After persuading Gan Ning, Wei Yan finally smiled.

In the wine shop just now, the business travelers were almost provoked, and they were a little dissatisfied with Zhang Lu.

As long as there is any change in the city, these people may not dare to rebel, but it is possible to storm the city gate.

After all, although there was a large amount of grain in the city, their business travel was not on Zhang Lu's supply list.

Once the price of food in the city rises several times, how will these caravans sit idly by?

If there is a shortage of food in Hanzhong City, the first people to starve to death must be these merchants!

"Generals, the price of grain in our shops can be doubled again tomorrow."

At this time, the Mi steward, who went out and came back together, smiled. Isn't his Jingxiang accent the one who stirred up the emotions of those business travelers in the wine shop just now?

"If we raise the price of food, it will be fine, right?" Wei Yan asked with some concern.

The steward said with a smile: "It's okay, the price of grain in the city has been doubling and rising in the past few days, let's double it again tomorrow, and other shops selling grain will inevitably rise after hearing the news, and we are not the only ones, and we will not be noticed." ”

As the price of food continues to rise, those who are stranded in the city will inevitably become even more unable to sit still. It's not that they can't afford to eat food, even if they have a bowl of food, they can afford to eat it when it comes to life and death.

The problem is that at that time, the grain in Hanzhong City is only priceless, and it will not be possible to buy grain with money.

Of course, this situation will most likely not occur, but Mi Guan manages so much, he just wants to continue to create psychological pressure for those business travelers at this time, once these people can't sit still, they will definitely try their best to get out of the city.

And if you want to get out of the city, in addition to storming the city gate, Mi Steward doesn't think there is any other way.

……

Prompting the merchants to storm the city gate, this is the purpose of Wei Yan's provocation.

Wei Yan is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also has a good IQ and a strong learning ability.

When they infiltrated Hanzhong City that day, Kong Ming's military division gave them a clever plan, which was to attack the east and the west for the sound. Wei Yan felt that opening the gate of Hanzhong City could also follow the strategy of striking east and west.

The merchant travelers attacked the east gate of Hanzhong City, and the defenders in Hanzhong City would inevitably be attracted by those merchant travelers, at that time, he Wei Yan could take his brothers to forcibly open the west gate of Hanzhong City and welcome the lord and them into Hanzhong City!
