Chapter 59 Open the granary and deceive Hu You
Zhang Yi was also surprised when he heard that Hu You was coming. He was even more surprised by the other party's current official position, General Jianzhong Zhonglang.
I didn't expect that after leaving him, Hu You developed so well that he was promoted to Zhonglang General.
You must know that Hu You himself does not have much ability, Zhang Yi specially checked Hu You's attribute value.
"Huyou, Force: 62, Strategy: 72, Strategy: 76, Internal Affairs: 73, Education: 52, Diplomacy: 81."
This attribute is still okay when you are a school captain or a county commander, but when you become an official position like a lieutenant general, it is a bit too much.
Zhang Yi laughed and walked out of the mansion, and said to Hu Youshili: "Haha, brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time!" How's it going? ”
Hu You hurriedly stepped forward, "Thank you Lord Taishou for your concern, everything is fine." ”
"What did my brother say?" Zhang Yi grabbed Hu You, pulled him into the mansion, and said as he walked: "I can have today, relying on the support of my brother-in-law, how can my brother-in-law say the words of the two families?" ”
When Hu You heard this, he laughed and said to Zhang Yi: "Brother Ziguo has not changed, so I am relieved." ”
Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows, there is something in this Hu You's words! "Why did the brother say this?"
Hu You saw that there were not too many people left and right, so he whispered to Zhang Yi: "Brother Wei is here to ask for something this time!" ”
Something? What's up? Zhang Yi secretly guessed for a while, but he couldn't think of anything Hu You could ask for himself.
He quietly pulled Hu You into the lobby, and then sent everyone out, before asking, "Brother Gong, but what's so difficult to say?" ”
Hu You nodded and said, "The reason why Brother Fool was able to become a Zhonglang general so quickly is completely supported by the eldest prince. ”
"The eldest prince?" Zhang Yi was puzzled at first, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang died in his hands, where did the eldest son come from? After thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on me that Hu You was talking about Cao Pi. It turned out that Hu You climbed the big tree of Cao Pi, no wonder he rose so fast! Although Cao Pi's own position is not high, he has a lot of connections! A slight leak is enough for Hu You to work hard for a lifetime.
"That's right! Big Prince! Now the lord has taken the eldest prince with him to teach, thinking that he is the successor. That's why he can often appear in front of the lord's eyes and rise to this day. ”
Hu You sighed for a moment, and then said: "But my crisis has also come because of this. Someone saw that I was not pleasing to my eyes, so they made a statement to the lord, saying that I had a good relationship with Ziguo and could raise food in Huainan. When the lord believed, he sent me to ask for food. ”
Grain? After Zhang Yi heard this, his first reaction was to refuse. But he held back, and he couldn't give Huyou food, because his grain and grass were still of great use!
Zhang Yi thought about it for a while, but fortunately he had already transported all the surplus grain to Hefei, Juchao and Jianyang. These three places are his own frontier positions to capture Jiangdong, and his generals have been mobilized, Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, and Shang Shifu have been transferred to Jianyang and returned to Lu Su, and Ding Feng has also been transferred to Di Qing.
and mobilized soldiers for Di Qing, Li Hongzhang, and Lu Su, Di Qing's army increased to 10,000, Lu Su's army also increased to 10,000, and Li Hongzhang increased to 6,000. When the soldiers were mobilized, Zhang Yi also transported the surplus grain and grass from each county at the same time, and now there are only 100 stone of emergency grain and grass left in Shouchun City.
He suddenly rolled his eyes, thought of an idea, and immediately cried to Hu You: "Brother Gong, it's not that my brother is unwilling to help you, but my brother doesn't have much food!" ”
Hu You was also surprised, he was surprised: "Wouldn't it? Brother Ziguo, since I entered Shouchun, I have seen that although the city is sparsely populated, there is no food! Shouchun should have a lot of food! ”
Zhang Yi waved his hand and said, "Brother Gongyi doesn't know anything!" When I took over Huainan, it was almost empty, and if it weren't for some heroes and powerful people who still had a lot of food, I couldn't even afford to raise soldiers. ”
Hu You was also embarrassed: "I know that it is not easy for my brother, but I still ask my brother to look at the past feelings, and take my brother's life!" ”
Zhang Yi's face was even more embarrassed: "Brother Gong, it's not that the younger brother won't help you!" You also know what Huainan has been ruined by Yuan Shu, and to be honest with my brother-in-law, I only have a hundred stones of emergency food in my granary. ”
"Only a hundred stones?" Hu You said disappointedly.
A hundred stones? That's just a lot, a hundred stones is enough for a hundred ordinary people to eat for a year, but it's good for a hundred soldiers to be able to eat for a month. But how many soldiers did Cao Cao have? There are at least 10,000 or 20,000 people in Guandu, which is enough for a day's or two days' rations!
Zhang Yi stood up, pulled Hu You and walked out, "Brother Gong, come with me." ”
Zhang Yi pulled Hu You to the granary and asked the barn to open the granary, only to see that there was only a small corner of the huge granary where some grain was piled up, and the rest of the place was empty!
Only then did Hu You know why Zhang Yi said this, he cried and said with a sad face: "I can't help it!" With such a little food, even if it is taken to the battlefield, it will only be worth a day or two of rations, and my head is going to fall off! ”
Zhang Yi asked in embarrassment: "Brother Gongyi, how much grain can you go back to pay for?" ”
Hu You's eyes lit up, and his heart was opened. Of course, the more the better. But now that Zhang Yi has no food, he will definitely be able to find a way to get food and loot it from the people? Or do you want to ask for it from a big customer?
Both of these methods are things that damage his reputation, even if Zhang Yi does it, it is estimated that he will not do it thoroughly, and he will definitely not get much food. Hu You pondered for a moment and said, "Why do you need a thousand stones?" ”
"I want to figure it out!" Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and turned around the warehouse gate a few times before he said to the warehouse order: "You go and tell Li Shang and ask him to raise nine hundred stone of grain for me." ”
Cang Liao Ling received the order, Li Shangyin immediately felt strange when he received the order, and only after inquiring about Cang Liao Ling in detail did he know the inside story. He sent the order to the warehouse, turned around and went to find Liu Ye.
After Liu Ye listened, he whispered a few words to Li Shangyin, and Li Shangyin nodded and went to do it.
In less than three days, Li Shangyin raised 900 stone of grain. Zhang Yi handed over a thousand stones of grain to Hu You, and Hu You left happily.
But what Hu You didn't expect was that the people of Shouchun had already gnashed their teeth against Hu You and Cao Cao, because Hu You took away their rations, and they had to save at least a month to cope with this famine.
As soon as Hu You left, Zhang Yi immediately stood up to invite the name, led the army to set up a fishing boat, fished on the water, and then cooked it and distributed it to the people of Shouchun.
For a time, the people of Shouchun were grateful to Zhang Yi, pushing Zhang Yi's prestige to an unprecedented height.
