Chapter 226: The Coalition is Formed

Unexpectedly, Liu He accidentally stumbled into another part of the grain from the hands of those profiteers, so Hua Chi could also play this play more seriously, and as a result, those profiteers really took the bait.

However, those cunning profiteers are not easy to deal with, and when they saw that the momentum was not right, they immediately sent people around to find out the origin of Huachi's batch of grain.

Once they found out that this batch of grain was nothing more than official food smuggled out of the city at night, the whole plan was in vain, so there was a curfew.

The imposition of a curfew is equivalent to cutting off their eyeliner at night, and no matter how much you try to find it during the day, it will be in vain.

In the evening, after the curfew, the grain can be safely transported out of the city, and when the day dawns and the gates are opened, it can be transported back again.

As for the part that buys people's hearts, it is actually just the result of Hua Chi's unintentional insertion.

What is surprising is that the reaction of the people is so strong that they really stop patronizing the shops of those profiteers.

Hua Chi saw the opportunity and immediately offered to buy the grain in their hands.

And the price given, only ten cents a catty, compared to the purchase price, almost nothing to make, if you add labor, freight and interest money on pressing goods, these profiteers have lost a lot.

After getting this batch of grain, Hua Chi immediately made up all the original official grain, and also took out a part of this batch of grain and put it into the official warehouse together.

Now the official warehouse of Jiangxia City is already full, and it can last for at least a year and a half, even if Cao Cao's army is besieging the city, he is not afraid.

The principal of buying this batch of grain from the profiteers was all paid by Hua Chi himself, and the rest of the part naturally belonged to Hua Chi.

"If my father comes to Jiangxia and knows that I used all the family's money for these grains, he doesn't know how to scold me." Hua Chi smiled innocently, raised his wine glass and took a shallow sip.

After Liu He's introduction, everyone already knew that Hua Chi was invincible to alcohol, so for Hua Chi's shallow way of drinking, everyone in Tianji Camp, who was used to drinking a lot, laughed at it.

Qian Zhuan stood up and gave another glass to Hua Chi, "Brother Hua is too humble, you have opened my eyes, you buy it at a low price this time, and then sell it, you will definitely make a lot of money, if Master Hua knows about this, I don't know how happy I will be." ”

Hua Chi picked up the wine glass and took a sip, his face was already smiling, and he did not hide his excitement.

After another cup exchange, Wei Xiao said to Liu He: "Boss, now that the problem of grain and grass has been solved, and a war is about to start, what should we do next?" ”

Liu He put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the little black fat man who never left the spring frost and autumn dew behind him with a smile.

The little black fat man was looking hard, but he found that the eyes of a room full of people were all focused on him at once, he straightened his clothes, and pretended to be calm: "This Jiangxia City, I can't ask for it." ”

When everyone was stunned, they heard Liu Helang say: "That's what I mean." ”

Everyone was even more shocked, a good Jiangxia City, how can you say that you don't want it?

Liu He glanced at the little black fat man, and when the little black fat man saw it, he explained to everyone.

Although Jiangxia City is rich and has abundant grain and grass at present, it has won the hearts of the people, but the geographical location of Jiangxia City in the northeast of Jingzhou determines that this place cannot be a place to stay for a long time after all.

Cao Cao in the north, Sun Quan in the east waiting for the opportunity, in this kind of chaotic world situation is changing rapidly, Jiangxia City, which is located at the junction of the three forces, is always in danger of being engulfed in the flames of war.

The only option now is to find a better place to recuperate in the south, away from the war.

The best situation is to give Jiangxia City to Sun Quan as a favor, and use the power of Jiangdong to resist Cao Cao's attack, and our side can slowly increase our own strength behind this barrier.

After listening to Pang Tong's explanation, everyone couldn't stop nodding, just one thing, who can guarantee that Cao Cao will be defeated this time?

Liu He saw everyone's doubts, got up and said, "I dare to assert that Cao Cao will be defeated in this battle." ”

He smiled and pointed to Pang Tong, the only one who didn't express surprise when he heard his words, "I haven't introduced you to you, this one is the same name as Zhuge Junshi, the famous Mr. Feng Xiao." He had made a plan not long ago, and once this plan succeeded, Cao Cao would return in vain when he went south this time. ”

The first time I heard about Pang Tong's identity, everyone was overjoyed, but they didn't expect that this unattractive person in front of him would have such a big background.

Pang Tong finally saw the moon and restored his status as a master, he smiled faintly, nodded to everyone, and said something even more amazing.

"What Mr. Tianji just said, there are some small flaws, let me correct them. There is no such thing as a plan that will succeed, but it will succeed. ”

If these words were heard before they learned Pang Tong's identity, everyone would definitely scoff.

But after learning that this person was as famous as Mr. Wolong, no one felt that Pang Tong's words were the slightest bit arrogant.

Chunshuang and Qiulu were stupid on the side, but they didn't expect that the sloppy, greedy and lazy iron egg on weekdays would be such a powerful character.

Pang Tong pretended to look at the two of them calmly and smiled politely, but in the eyes of the two little girls, they still looked out of tune.

Bah! What Mr. Feng Yan, isn't this the iron egg of that color Mimi?

Looking at the spring frost and autumn dew who turned their heads and refused to look at themselves again, the little black fat man looked sad.

In the blink of an eye, it is already the winter season, and it has been three months since Zhuge Liang sent Jiangdong.

During this time, Liu He asked Han Yi to recruit and train troops in the city, and on the other hand, he discussed future plans with Pang Tong.

Zhuge Liang finally sent a letter stating that an alliance with Sun Quan had been established and imploring that an army be sent to join forces with Eastern Wu to fight Cao Cao.

Liu He immediately sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead 3,000 elite soldiers each to support, and in addition, after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrived at the place of the joint army, they immediately asked Zhao Yun to return to Jiangxia quickly.

Zhuge Liang did not raise any objections to Liu He's dispatch, and after the fifteenth, Zhao Yun hurried back to Jiangxia City.

As soon as he saw Zhao Yun come back, Liu He was overjoyed, but he did not put on a big feast and catch the wind for Zhao Yun, but ordered him to go back to his house to rest.

Before dawn on the second day, Liu He issued a secret order to Zhao Yun, and then took everyone in the Tianji Battalion and the Han family army led by Han Yi, and quietly left Jiangxia City while the people were still asleep.
