Xiangyang, Jingzhou Pastoral Mansion.

Liu Biao is getting older and older, and since he married the daughter of the Cai family, he has aged rapidly. When I first came to Jingzhou, my hair was still half white and half black, but now it is full of silver threads. At that time, he was still able to cross the horse and pull the bow, shoot the rabbit after the deer, and now he has been sitting on the comfortable brocade couch for a long time, but he will feel a sore back.

Kuai Yue quietly looked at the listless Liu Biao, but in his heart he was thinking about the last time he saw Liu Biao, which was about ten days ago. I think that when Liu Biao first came to Jingzhou, he couldn't wait to talk with him all day long, and he couldn't be separated. Now, all that remains is a sigh.

Of course, Kuai Yue is not eating anyone's vinegar, he is just sighing for "the spring night is bitter and short, and the king will not be early from now on". He once thought that Liu Biao was different from others. Now it seems that the ruthless years and the comfortable gentleness of the township have almost worn out the ambition in Liu Biao's chest.

"Xeno, my body has been a little uncomfortable since the beginning of winter, and the doctor told me not to sit for a long time, if you have something to say, please be brief."

Liu Biao, who is old, has a voice that is no longer as loud as before, and his eyes are cloudy and there is no trace of radiant light.

Sighing silently, Kuai Yue replied: "Lord, recently, Xiangyang, including other counties, grain prices have skyrocketed, as far as I know, the high-grade rice and wheat have exceeded two thousand yuan per stone, compared with before January, the price has more than doubled!" ”

Liu Biao frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Every winter, isn't it like this?" Food prices will always rise, isn't it a bit too much of a fuss about Xeno? ”

Kuai Yue smiled bitterly: "What the lord said is true, but the increase in grain prices in previous years is within a controllable range. Moreover, compared to the summer and autumn, this year's food prices have already risen once before. Cong's increase from 600 yuan per stone to 800 yuan is a reasonable increase. However, two thousand yuan of stone grain is definitely abnormal and very dangerous! ”

Liu Biao Muran nodded, and immediately thought of something, a fine light suddenly flashed in his squinted eyes, and he gasped and exclaimed: "The soaring food prices will inevitably lead to boiling public resentment and unstable people's hearts, could it be that someone is behind the scenes?" ”

Kuai Yue nodded heavily, "Your Majesty also thinks that this matter is definitely not normal, so I have come to report to the lord." ”

Liu Biaoqiang thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The people take food as the sky, there is no agriculture, no stability, no food is uneasy. Alien, I will appoint you with full authority to deal with this matter, and all the people in Jingzhou except me will be dispatched by you, and you must find out the culprit for me in the shortest possible time, stabilize food prices, and stabilize public order! ”

Kuai Yue, who was ordered to leave the state governor's mansion, was full of loss on his face, and his psychological face was also extremely bitter. It can be seen at a glance that Liu Biao at this time no longer has much enterprising spirit. Tigers with claws that are no longer sharp, the deterrent will only get smaller and smaller. And Liu Biao is now like such a heroic tiger in the twilight of his life.

Everyone in the world knows that Kuai Yue has great talents, but it is a pity that Kuai Yue's opponent this time is not a grain merchant who intends to hoard Juqi in order to seek huge profits. Rather, it is the officials and businessmen in the north who will start to buy vigorously regardless of the price of grain.

A common way to stabilize grain prices is to open up official warehouses and sell grain at low prices, so as to impact the unbalanced grain market and achieve the goal of returning grain prices to normal.

Kuaiyue, this method was also used at the beginning. But soon, to his dismay, he discovered that no matter how much grain he put in, it would soon be bought up like a whirlwind.

Kuai Yue realized that something was wrong, but it was too late, and more than half of the Jingzhou treasury and private grain had already been transported to the north. There are only chicken feathers left behind, and those gold, silver and jewels that can make people crazy in prosperous times, but not much use at all in troubled times.

This is the case in Jingzhou, and the same is true in Yizhou and Yangzhou. Han Jun and Cao Cao, who are not bad for money, immediately straightened up their waists after making a generous purchase in the south.

With food in his hands, Han Jun no longer has to have a headache for the overwhelming refugees, and Cao Cao can finally send troops to avenge his father's shame.

The first four years of peace, winter. Cao Cao swore an army in Puyang, sacrificed heaven and earth and worshiped ghosts and gods, and the army of 50,000 was divided into three roads: left, middle and right. On the left side, Xiahoudun led 10,000 troops to attack Peiguo; On the right, Cao Ren led 10,000 troops to attack Langya; Cao Cao led the Chinese army of 30,000 and smashed Pengcheng.

The news of Cao Cao's departure soon spread to Xiapi. At this time, Tao Qian was already bedridden, unable to speak or move his hands.

The hall is full of civil and military affairs, but there is no one in charge. You can imagine how chaotic the situation is.

Wenchen military generals, with different opinions and constant quarrels, only a middle-aged man sitting at the end of the seat was as calm as water.

On both sides of him, there were two generals separated, one with a black face and a beard, and the other with a red face and a long beard, but the faces of the two people were full of disdain.

"Cao's army is powerful, and this time it is prepared, and it may be difficult to compete with it. But now the lord is sinking and difficult to get up, and we have no leader, and our hearts are not aligned and our strength is insufficient, and we will cause trouble! Therefore, I suggest that it is better to surrender Kaesong, so as not to destroy the lives and the people! ”

The one who spoke the highest voice was now the number one general in Xuzhou and one of the local wealthy families in Xuzhou, Cao Bao, the head of the Cao family. I fought a tough battle with Cao Cao's army before, and I returned with a miserable defeat, obviously a little frightened.

Xuzhou military generals are headed by Cao Bao, and the head of Wenchen is another wealthy family in Xuzhou, Chen Deng of the Huaipu Chen family. Although the official position is only the rank of 600 stones, but with the help of the Chen family's prestige in Xuzhou, coupled with his own talent is also good, so Chen Deng's influence in Xuzhou's cultural relics is very large.

I saw Chen Deng staring at Cao Bao with a smile for a while, and asked indifferently: "What General Cao said is not unreasonable, but the previous Cao thief's slaughter of the city is still vivid, do you know that after we sacrifice the city this time, yesterday's events will not be repeated?" How did General Cao decide that the Cao thief would seal the sword and enter the city? And how to ensure that Cao Thief will not commit any crime in the people? Besides, although it is difficult for the lord to speak now, he is not completely unconscious, dare to ask General Cao if he has ever consulted the lord? ”

Chen Deng's snatching of the white did not mean to show mercy to Cao Bao at all, and he almost pointed at Cao Bao's nose and scolded him for being a traitor.

Cao Bao, who had a red face, clutched the handle of the knife, and the green tendons of his hand were bursting up, and he couldn't wait to swing the knife and let Chen Deng's blood splash on the spot.

Chen Deng took a deep breath, clenched his fists and suddenly raised his voice, "Cao Cao, named Han Chen, is actually a thief!" It is unjust to start a war for one's own selfishness! It is really unkind to kill innocents indiscriminately in order to vent their personal anger! Digging graves, sensational! Take people as breasts, extinct morality! Like such an unkind, unjust, brutal and ruthless person, I, Chen Deng, would rather be with a sword and axe than be in the company of it! I don't know how all of you feel about it, but I'm going to stand up to it! ”

"Childish!"

Cao Bao shouted angrily: "The matter of chasing the wind and catching shadows is also used to talk nonsense, Chen Yuanlong, don't you have Xuzhou millions of people in your heart?" ”

Chen Deng sneered, and was just about to refute, but someone over there couldn't help but speak, "Could it be that tens of thousands of innocent beings in Pengcheng have been killed, and the corpses have piled up like a mountain so that Surabaya does not flow, and the chickens and dogs are gone, and there are no pedestrians in the ruins?" ”

Cao Bao was speechless for a while, glaring angrily at the person who spoke, gritting his teeth but speechless.

The Mi family of the East China Sea, the merchants of the past dynasties, and the huge wealth of Xuzhou. The one who opened his mouth was Mi Zhu, the head of the contemporary Mi family.

Although Mi Zhu was born as a businessman, he was appointed by Tao Qian as a special driver in Xuzhou because he made great efforts when Tao Qian first came to Xuzhou.

Seeing that Chen Deng and Mi Zhu were already in the same camp, Cao Bao, who was isolated, simply didn't bother to argue with them anymore, shook his hand and sneered: "Since you insist on fighting, then I don't object, but Hugh wants me to lead the troops to the battle!" ”

Chen Deng also sneered: "General Cao, doesn't you think that there is no one in Xuzhou who can command the army except for you?" ”

Cao Bao smiled conceitedly with his hands on his chest, "No wonder I didn't remind you, according to reliable information, Zang Ba has now taken refuge in Cao Gong's account." ”

Chen Deng didn't bother to pay attention to Cao Bao anymore, he glanced at Mi Zhu, and the two came to the person sitting in the corner side by side, and bowed his hand and said: "Now that Xuzhou is in danger, I still hope that Xuande Gong will think of millions of people in Xuzhou, don't shirk it anymore!" ”

Xuande Gong, naturally Liu Bei, Liu Xuande.

Standing up with a humble face, he returned the salute and said: "Beiliu has fallen here, fortunately Tao Gong did not give up, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility." The grace of receiving is as deep as the sea, and you should do your best to repay it. The two gentlemen have been sent, and there is no reason to excuse them! ”

Chen Deng took a deep breath and said, "In this case, then ask Xuande Gong to temporarily take the post of Xuzhou pastor and purge the three armies to resist foreign enemies!" ”

Liu Bei's face was full of fear, and he waved his hand again and again: "I can't prepare a guest house, I have no virtue and no talent, and I don't dare to take on this big responsibility." Please also ask Mr. Yuanlong not to play tricks on me, choose another virtuous, be prepared to obey, and have nothing else to say! ”

Chen Deng said with a smile: "Xuande Gong Xiu should be humble, as we all know, Xuande Gong is a descendant of the royal family, with lofty ambitions, love and righteousness, benevolence and love for the people, and he is a veteran general on the battlefield. ”

Mi Zhu also persuaded: "The lord once spoke to me, looking at Xuzhou up and down, only Xuande Gong can inherit the foundation." Now Cao thieves are powerful, and non-Ming monarchs and benevolent lords cannot be opposed. The name of Xuande Gong's benevolence and righteousness is all over the world, and Xuzhou is looking forward to Xuande Gong taking over Xuzhou like a great drought and looking forward to Ganlin! ”
