As soon as Hu Gang finished speaking, the faces of many people in the hall changed, and the eyes that looked at Hu Gang became extremely unfriendly, if it weren't for Liu Zhibang, I am afraid that these people would be able to tear Hu Gang alive.

Liu Zhibang saw it in his eyes, but his face was silent, and after thinking for a while, Liu Zhibang said: "City Lord Xia, you start to investigate the grain storage situation of all residents, and make a plan to report to me, within three days, there must be a good way to solve the food problem......

After the meeting ended, Liu Zhibang left Hu Gang behind and asked about the situation of the big households in the city alone, and after Hu Gang left, Xia Zhuangzhuang asked: "Big brother, the food in the hands of these big households can make the people in the city eat for three more months, but what about after three months?" ”

Liu Zhibang nodded and said: "I'm also struggling with my nerves, there are still four months before the autumn harvest, there must be no surplus grain, if there is another war, the food consumption will be greater, and the crop harvest will be fatally hit by the war, and the war must not ......be allowed to happen again in Xia Yuan City."

Xia Zhuangzhuang said worriedly: "But, can Dao Yan weave the letter?" ”

Liu Zhibang snorted and said, "If he doesn't agree, he will beat him to ......"

……

Lu Yang has been standing in this gloomy cell without saying a word for a whole day, he can be regarded as opening a small stove, a separate cell is assigned to a cell, and the prison food is also done quite carefully, and there is actually meat, which makes the prisoners next to him hungry half to death, and these foods do not seem to impress Lu Yang's firm determination to lose weight at all, at the end of the day, Lu Yang is much slimmer, and the facial features on his face are no longer crowded.

"Adult ......"

The jailer respectfully opened the cell door, took a few steps back, and Liu Zhibang and Xia Zhuangzhuang walked in.

Liu Zhibang said to Lu Yanghan: "Lord Lu, is this day okay?" ”

Lu Yang glared at Liu Zhibang and said, "Hmph, Patriarch Liu, what happened today?" ”

Looking at the untouched meals on the tray on the ground, Liu Zhibang smiled and said, "It seems that these foods are not the right appetite for Lord Lu, can Lord Lu want to go back to Wumang County to reunite with his family?" ”

Lu Yang glanced at Liu Zhibang contemptuously and said, "I'm afraid it's not unconditionally released!" ”

Liu Zhibang smiled slightly and said: "Lord Lu is smart, I don't beat around the bush, I have a letter here, you sign it, I will help you send it to your brother-in-law Dao Yanzhi letter, presumably your sister and brother-in-law also hope that you will go home safely as soon as possible......"

Lu Yang took a piece of paper full of words handed over by Liu Zhibang, looked at the paper in surprise, looked at Liu Zhibang again, and finally his eyes fell on the letterhead.

Lu Yang said angrily: "You...... You want to trade me for food...... And he also asked for 200,000 stone grain, you have such a big appetite, and I am not afraid to kill you! ”

Liu Zhibang asked: "Then are you going to sign or not?" ”

Lu Yang's attitude is resolute: "It is impossible to ......"

Liu Zhibang smiled coldly and said to his side: "Someone, Master Lu wants to sign and draw a charge, but he is weak, you can help him......"

Seeing that Liu Zhibang was about to move, Lu Yang exclaimed: "What are you going to do, let me go!" ”

Those fierce prisons still cared about Lu Yang's yelling, grabbed Lu Yang's hand and raised the knife, forcibly cut off one of Lu Yang's fingers, pressed a blood mark on the letter paper with the severed finger, and then handed the letter paper wrapped with Lu Yang's severed finger to Liu Zhibang.

Liu Zhibang saw the bloody fingers, frowned slightly, and said, "Then thank you Lord Lu, go, send someone to send the letter to the mansion of Lord Daoyan Xin in Wumang County......"

Lu Yang roared hatefully: "Liu Zhibang, the imperial court will definitely send a large army to exterminate your family and destroy your family, and you will be broken into pieces, Liu Zhibang ......"

After achieving his goal, Liu Zhibang and Xia Zhuangzhuang turned around and left, where would they care about Lu Yang's curse.

Xia Zhuangzhuang asked as he walked, "Big brother, can Dao Yan weave the letter?" ”

Liu Zhibang smiled coldly and said: "I used 20,000 prisoners, corpses, plus Lu Yang's more than 200 catties of meat for 200,000 stone grain, this business can still be counted, he can't help but think about Lu Yang and his family, let alone the family of his 20,000 soldiers." It's just that in this way, Dao Yanori Xin will not give up, and we will have to make preparations on a larger scale......"

"Congratulations, you're in for a treat......"

The generals were talking excitedly, only Xia Zhuangzhuang's face was worried, but when he looked at Liu Zhibang, Liu Zhibang nodded at him slightly, as if hinting at something.

……

"Let's see, what order the new city lord has given......"

"Han bandits...... Han patriarch Liu Zhibang doesn't know how to deal with us? ”

"Will he force us to donate food, we spent a lot of money to buy it, who doesn't know how expensive food is now......"

Countless people crowded the city gates, craned their necks to watch as a few soldiers put signs on the walls.

"Wow, such a big piece of paper, it would cost hundreds of copper coins......"
