Chapter 242, human life is at stake

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, feeling both admiration and some worry about Zhao Yun's heart.

Dare to settle the troops on the spot, ordinary people don't have this kind of courage!

Yesterday, many soldiers were injured, Zhao Yun immediately sent people to ask Langzhong to treat the soldiers' injuries, the soldiers were very moved, especially the re-received blades, stationed on the spot, Zhao Yun treated them as his own, and everyone was moved from the bottom of their hearts.

Next, the problem is very tricky, in the Guanzhong area, the disaster is serious, the vast majority of people are hungry, and the good situation is barely full and hungry.

Zhao Yun paced back and forth in the room, walking and stopping, and after a while, his handsome brows were almost wrinkled together.

"Jingbei!"

After a while, Zhao Yun shouted outside the door.

Jing Bei had been guarding the door, and quickly pushed the door and walked in.

"You go back to Luoyang immediately, tell Tian Chou and them, immediately raise food, and send it to Chang'an as soon as possible."

Seeing that Zhao Yun's expression had never been so serious, Jing Bei realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately nodded heavily, "Lord, don't worry, I'll go back." ”

Jing Bei turned around and was about to leave, but Zhao Yun shouted to him again, "The situation is urgent, you take this, no matter who you are, as long as you dare to obstruct this matter, you will be severely punished." ”

Zhao Yun untied his sword and handed it to Jing Bei, Jing Bei took the sword in his hand, and suddenly felt a heavy heart, as if he had suddenly pressed a thousand catties of boulder.

"I see."

Jingbei turned around and left, after leaving the city, he hurried all the way, and hurried all the way, he didn't dare to have a moment's delay on the road, he was hungry, he bought a few pieces of bread and ate them on horseback, and when he was thirsty, he lay down directly by the river, and hurriedly poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth.

Zhao Yun knew very well in his heart that no matter how fast Jingbei moved, once and again, the grain and grass had to be raised halfway, and when the grain was transported to Chang'an, it would take ten days and a half to say the least, and people could fly and gallop, and the food could not be fast at all, especially the roads in Guanzhong were rugged, mostly winding and potholed mountain roads and the Gobi.

During this period of time, Zhao Yun naturally couldn't do nothing, he was dying every day, and the phenomenon of plundering people and eating them also happened from time to time, and it was unimaginable to eat the living in later generations, but it was not uncommon at all.

Zhao Yun frowned, locked himself in the room, and thought hard about countermeasures.

At noon, someone brought food, Zhao Yun didn't move, thinking that so many people couldn't even eat, they could only gnaw tree bark and grass roots, and even eat human flesh, Zhao Yun had no appetite at all.

"Someone."

"My lord."

Hu Cai and Li Le stepped forward with their heads held high.

"Immediately ordered that all the cattle, sheep, livestock and inferior military horses in the original Guo Yan army should be taken to Chang'an, all killed, boiled into hot soup and distributed to those poor people."

"Yes."

Although the two were slightly surprised, they didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly took the order.

After a while, Xu Shu came over after finishing his own affairs, and seeing that Zhao Yun hadn't eaten yet, he hurriedly persuaded him, "Lord, don't be too anxious, taking care of your body is more important than anything else, there will always be a way." ”

"Yuan Zhi, is there anything you can do about it?" Zhao Yun looked up at him with an urgent expression and expectant eyes.

"There is a way, but ......"

Xu Shu frowned, he wanted to speak and stopped, he had always been calm and free, as if he had suddenly changed as a person.

"Say!"

Zhao Yun urged, his tone was serious and irresistible.

"Lord, there is indeed a disaster in this Guanzhong area, and the disaster has been rare for several years, but even so, not everyone has no food to eat, those wealthy families or rich and powerful nobles and wealthy businessmen may not have surplus food at home, but let them take out the food obediently...... I'm afraid it's a little difficult to do. ”

A sentence woke up the person in the dream, Zhao Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded again and again, "Yes, no matter how serious the disaster is, there will always be people who can't go hungry." ”

Big eater?

Hit their idea, this is indeed a solution, but Xu Shu's worries are not unreasonable.

Anyone who has food at home has a certain social status, and in later generations, they are also the landlord class, they are powerful and powerful, and their relationships are intertwined, and they are all the leading figures in the Guanzhong area.

And since Zhao Yun became a prince, his relationship with the upper class of society has not been very good.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, Dig Money, Liu Biao... These princes are inseparable from the assistance of the family, in turn, they also treat the family with courtesy and take care of them in every way, even Cao Cao, who is a meritocracy, has promoted and reused so many grassroots classes, but the power of the family is still indispensable around them.

But Zhao Yun is the only one, so far, there are a few small characters in the family around him, but there is no one who is really a wealthy family.

Runan Yuan family, Hongnong Yang family, Yingchuan Xun family, Xiangyang Cai family...... Such a family is a real behemoth, Zhao Yun is not treated by them at all, there is a Hanoi Sima family by his side, but the Sima family has an unclear attitude, has been watching and seeing, and has never made it clear that he wants to assist Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was silent for a while, "The situation is in power, I can't take care of it much, so you immediately send someone to send a letter to the upper families in the Guanzhong area, no matter what method you use, you must invite the patriarchs of each family to Chang'an, and I will meet with them in person." ”

"Lord...... You shouldn't ......?"

Xu Shu was a little worried, afraid that Zhao Yun would attack those families, this was not a joke.

Let's just say that Bian Rang, a famous man in Yanzhou, was killed by Cao Cao, and there are still many people who secretly accuse Cao Cao.

If Zhao Yun attacked these families, even if it was just a few families, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhao Yun glanced at him coldly, "Yuan Zhi, there are not a few people who starve to death on the streets in Guanzhong every day, and they can't be delayed for a moment, I am free to measure, you can do it immediately." ”

"But what if someone finds a reason not to come?"

Zhao Yun said sharply: "You have to tie people up." ”

This time, Zhao Yun was really angry, he didn't discuss at all, he acted resolutely and decisively.

It is not unreasonable for this sentence to be independent in big things, and at critical times, whether it is right or wrong, we must dare to stand up and dare to take ideas.

Xu Shu shook his head and walked out with a heavy heart, this time, he had an inexplicable sense of foreboding in his heart.

If you want those families to contribute food obediently, how can it be so easy, once there is a conflict, it will inevitably lead to death.

The common people are dead, and they can't make the slightest wave, but if they casually attack a huge family, the consequences will never be imagined.

Zhang Ning approached Zhao Yun, "Hey, don't you really want to attack them, right?" ”

Zhao Yun glanced at her, "Human life is at stake, how can it be child's play." ”

"I'll just say it."

Zhang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhao Yun continued, "Who is the sky, many people can't figure it out, the people are!" ”
