Han Song had to wait and see for a while, Deng Zhi didn't recommend him directly to Deng Ji, but only placed him in his own house first, and let him go around every day to check and experience.
When the group came back from a detour, he only told Han Song that Liu Biao was unwilling to borrow grain, unwilling to exterminate Nanyang Zhang Ji, and it was difficult to exchange for grain in Jingzhou, Deng Ji Tianfeng was stunned.
Liu Biao, who was born in the party, has always honestly guarded his Jingzhou, respectfully paid grain to the imperial court, and only gave others the image of loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, but secretly, he also had some calculations?
Liu Biao turned out to be not easy to get along with, what he did before was just watching the situation and waiting for a chance to soar into the sky?
For this reason, he did not hesitate to secretly communicate with Zhang Ji, the most important Nanyang County in Jingzhou, and even wise people like Tian Feng were also concealed?
In this era, all the princes are like this, who can become the hero of one side, who can not have further ambitions?
Liu Biao is reluctant to borrow grain, but apart from Jingzhou, where else in the world can he find grain to feed his own suddenly extra million people?
At the beginning, there was a shortage of food in the Taihang Mountains, and thousands of people survived the beasts in the mountains, the fish, shrimp, wild vegetables, and tree bark in the river, but now there are millions of people!
If food is cut off, how many of the millions of people will survive? If there is no food, will they be in revolt? How should the two counties of Hanoi in Henan be governed?
When recruiting people in Yanyu Erzhou, he climbed high and shouted, and the Quartet came to vote, how happy?
Those who come to defect are promised food for their own families!
Whether they are forced by the situation or willing, whether they were thieves or good families before, as long as they enter their own territory, they can't let them starve to death if they believe in me, Deng Ji!
In his previous life, he lived in peace. I don't know the fragility of human life. but they know how precious it is.
This life. They started by being moths and thieves, they are their own reliance in this troubled world, and they are also their dependence for survival.
But if you look at the surrounding places, where is the food?
Yuan Shao is short of food! Cao Cao is short of food! Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are even more short of food!
Jingzhou!
Only Jingzhou has more grain!
Then, as long as he has it, he should grab it! Go steal! Go cheat! Go for it!
Get it at all costs!
Tian Feng and Deng Zhixian are like wild wolves who have suddenly been forced into a dead end. Deng Ji, the lord of Henan, began to have a cold light in his eyes, his chest rose and fell, and his breathing in his mouth gradually became heavy, and he was just about to find someone's teeth.
Tian Feng sighed and said softly: "Let's look for Tian Zitai, let's think about it again!" ”
"Not necessarily!" A sudden burst of shouting stopped Deng Zhi, who was about to call out to find Tian Chou, Deng Ji quickly calmed down again, and asked in a deep voice: "Tian Shi Bo Miao!" The two of them said, Liu Biao is not short of paper today, what can I do in Henan with which I can exchange food? ”
Don't wait for the two to think about it. Deng Ji had already replied to himself: "He lacks horses!" ”
Then, Deng Ji waved his arms. got up and walked back and forth: "Since Liu Jingsheng has hidden selfishness, he should be short of war horses!" ”
Of course, this Tian Feng Deng Zhi knows that the price of horses in Jingzhou is extremely high, in previous years, a high-quality horse could be exchanged for 200 stone grain, this year there is a drought in several states in the north, and the price of grain is soaring, but the world is too chaotic, and the heroes are collecting all available strategic materials, with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Zhang Ji in front, it is more difficult for horses to enter Jingzhou.
Jingzhou is rich, but Liu Biao can only buy one or two hundred horses at most in a year, so he is short of horses.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are still using various methods to buy horses from other races, but they have not obtained much. In addition to Xiliang, only Deng Ji has the most war horses.
However, the horses brought back by the expedition of the Dangkou army to the Xiongnu and the horses bred by themselves in Henan County were only enough for the Weilie army that was preparing to be formed, and the future swords and shields could no longer be given to mounts, and Deng Ji's war horses were not enough to be used in exchange for food.
No one would have thought that such an important strategic material would be exchanged for the food needed for the refugees' lives, and Tian Feng and Deng Zhi subconsciously removed it.
For the civil and military forces of the princes in the troubled times, human life is not valuable! A monarch who loves the people and shows benevolence is only for the sake of gaining power, not really serving the people wholeheartedly, both ancient and modern! The ancient Ming Jun Tang Taizong said that water can carry a boat, but also can overturn a boat, in a word, he lightly endowed the benevolent government and loved the people, but it was only to maintain the stability of the "boat" of the Tang Dynasty.
And the people under Deng Jiyuan's command are not short of food, what he does is just the refugees and thieves who have defected, of course, if he can win the support of millions of people, he can also consolidate the trend of Henan.
However, both of them were surprised that Deng Ji could make such a decision.
After reacting, Deng Zhi immediately knelt on the ground, bowed, and choked up: "The benevolence of the lord, Zhi is grateful for the five inside!" Thank you for millions of people today! ”
Tian Feng also felt the need to re-examine his apprentice, and he couldn't help but ask: "Yi Ma Yi grain, are you willing to do it?" ”
"Hahaha!" Ignoring the two, Deng Ji suddenly burst into laughter, and the gloom in his heart was already gone.
The two of them were inexplicably unaware of the reason, and he raised his voice and asked, "Who is outside the door?" ”
Dian Wei was not there, and a black iron guard on duty came in and asked, "What does the lord command?" ”
"You wait to be on duty ten feet away, no matter who you are, you are not allowed to trespass!"
"Whoa!"
When he heard the footsteps outside the door, Deng Jifang said to Deng Zhi, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Bo Miao, please get up!" ”
Deng Zhi stood up, and Deng Ji said to Tian Feng again: "The soldiers need horses, and the disciples are naturally reluctant!" ”
After a pause, Deng Jicai continued: "War horses are precious, don't give them to Liu Biao!" However, it can be tempted to move by this, and he should be willing to exchange food for food! It's called exchanging horses for food, but in fact, it's looking for an opportunity to take its food! ”
Tian Feng suddenly opened his mouth: This is the face of his real disciple, and if he wants to make him really suffer a loss, it is very difficult.
Ignoring the two of them, Deng Ji said proudly: "According to the disciple's knowledge, there are thieves who call this kind of thing black eating black!" ”
Deng Zhi also felt that his previous kneeling was too Meng Lang, and he couldn't help but laugh and said: "I thought that the main man would give up the horse for food, but I didn't expect that I wanted to give up my name to win the grain!" This matter should provoke criticism from outsiders! ”
Tian Feng also persuaded: "It is not easy for you to have today!" If you do this, you will be discredited to the princes. And Henan has already sinned against Yuan Shao and Li Wei, if Liu Jingsheng is evil, he will be an enemy on three sides! ”
"If millions of people live, and the land of the three counties is safe, there will be no fear of them!" Deng Ji didn't care: "The princes don't want to deal with me, and the celebrities despise Henan, what's the use of leaving a false name?" If you can exchange useless things for food to break through today's difficulties, it will be a great good! And Tian Shi once said, how can military affairs be without deception? ”
"Qin also used six hundred miles to deceive King Chu Huai! Although you are responsible for Liu Biao today, you will not live up to the people! After thinking for a while, Tian Feng had to admit that the disciple was reasonable, and said: "However, Liu Biao is not a mediocre person, and Kuai Liang Kuai Yue and others can also be called wise!" I'm afraid that the deception will be seen through! ”
"How not to see through the fraud for Jingzhou, it is the internal affairs of Master Tian and Bo Miao!" Deng Ji immediately kicked the ball back: "I just need to sue Liu Biao again, and I am willing to lower the price of the horse and exchange it for grain, and when I tempt him to come out of the grain, I will take it halfway!" ”
Tian Feng frowned, shook his head and said, "It's not proper!" ”
After Deng Ji looked at him suspiciously, Tian Fengfang said: "Instead of lowering the price of the horse, we must raise the price!" ”
Deng Zhi, who rarely deceives people, has also changed his thinking, and the young and honest man praised: "Wonderful! This can show my anxiety in Henan! Not only did he negotiate with Liu Biao to change horses, but if he delayed, it could still be rumored that the big households in Jingzhou were willing to exchange horses for grain, so as to show the urgency of Henan and reduce Liu Biao's suspicions! ”
Once the two think tanks agreed with Deng Ji's idea, they became serious and quickly supplemented and perfected, Tian Feng said again: "However, at this time, it is important to keep it confidential, and the three of us can know it!" ”
Deng Ji nodded in agreement, he occasionally couldn't help but show off himself, but he could still distinguish the severity, before this thing was successful, he was itching in his heart, and he had to hold it in his stomach.
He said to the two of them again: "In order to make Liu Biao undoubted, I should order the Ten Captains and the Huya Army to really drive Ma south!" ”
"Take the martial arts in your hands first!" Only then did Deng Zhi remember that there were still Wuguan blocking the road, but what he had seen before should not be difficult to take, so he put it down again and said: "We will wait for the army and horses to go south, but we can first seize Shunyang County to garrison it, and we also need to prevent Zhang Ji from doing bad things!" ”
Tian Feng frowned and asked, "Liu Biao, what is the number of Yima?" ”
Since it is to steal grain by fraud, the more horses that are allowed to trade, the more grain the other party will send. However, the number of horses is too large, and the other party must be suspicious, so the number must be controlled.
Deng Ji pondered for a while and said, "Inform Liu Biao, how about I wait for the price of 300 stone grain from Ma Yi and drive 8,000 good horses south?" Jingzhou lacks horses, so the second-class ones can also be filled with good horses! ”
Deng Zhi shook his head and said: "This Kuai Liang Kuai Yue will be suspicious!" It's better to tell you five thousand! ”
The quantity can't be too much at one time, Tian Feng sighed slightly: "Today, Henan consumes more than 10,000 stone of grain every day, and after getting the grain, it will settle the displaced people for autumn ploughing, and 1.5 million stone grain may not be able to survive!" ”
The trick that was finally come up with on the premise of ruining his own reputation was to deceive Liu Biao of 1.5 million stone grain, which was less than three counties to use, and Deng Ji was not satisfied. Since he wants to have a bad reputation, it is naturally a robbery, and after thinking about it carefully, he asked: "What is the number of wealthy families in Jingzhou?" ”
"Much! Originally, there were a lot of wealthy families who moved into Jingzhou due to the war, and there were countless of them! Kui's household, tens of thousands of Dingkou tribes, widely occupy good land, and the family assets are not weak! After Deng Zhi finished answering, he asked again: "The will of the lord, and then wait for the grain?" Geometry? ”
Deng Ji nodded and said with a smile: "Don't tell me by real numbers, after our army takes Wuguan Shunyang, it will only be rumored that Jingzhou: In addition to Liu Jingsheng, I still have a thousand good horses in exchange for the wealthy family, and I hope that horse buyers can bring grain to themselves!" ”
If you act like this, I don't know how many innocent heroes will be deceived. Tian Feng looked at his disciple and sighed: "How good is Xiaodao? ”
Deng Ji was not ashamed, and said with a smile: "Master Tian teaches well!" ”
The master and apprentice were already able to make this kind of joke, but Deng Zhi had no choice but to roll his eyes, say goodbye and go home, pack his bags and prepare to go south again, Han Song had someone to take care of.
Deng Zhi set off, and Deng Ji had ordered Zhang Liao and Zangba, among the ten captains, to pretend to be a wealthy family in the south, and first seized the Wuguan in their hands.
