Chapter 112: Grain and Grass
The guards handed over the metal cylinder to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun took the metal cylinder, slowly rotated it open, took out one of the small silk books, slowly unfolded it, and looked at it.
"My lord, since our army's initial plan has been successful, then this Xichuan army is afraid that it will come back from the outside." , Chen Ping said to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun listened to Chen Ping's words, and before he could speak, at this time, Xu Maogong also slowly stepped forward and said to Zhao Yun, "Lord, Chen Pingzhi's argument is reasonable, this Xichuan army will definitely block the news that there is little grain and grass left, and will definitely try to transport grain and grass to the city, and our army only needs to quietly block the ...... inside and outside the city of Chengdu."
After Xu Maogong finished speaking, Zhao Yun nodded approvingly, and turned his head to look at Xu Shu, "Yuan Zhi, what do you think about this?" ”
"My lord, what the two counselors said is right, for the current Chengdu City, grain and grass are extremely important, in addition to transporting grain and grass from outside the city to the city, there is also a way, that is, from the city's powerful looting!"
Xu Shu unhurriedly stated the results he had summarized from the analysis of Xu Maogong and Chen Ping, but he did not say anything about it, he continued, "If our army implements a blockade of Chengdu City, then they will only have to loot food from the hands of the powerful family, so they will undoubtedly offend the powerful family." ”
"In this way, they will lose the help of the powerful family, in this way, our army will spread the news that the granary was burned in the city, so that the city will be in chaos, and when the time comes, with the cooperation of General Zhang Xun's Modao battalion in the city, the inside and outside should be combined to take Chengdu City in one fell swoop!"
As soon as Xu Shu finished speaking, before the words fell, Zhao Yun stood up and walked through everyone to the outside of the camp.
[Ding, it has been detected that the conditions for conquering Chengdu have been achieved, activate the task "Capture Chengdu"! 】
[Rewards: Special Items, Special Class "Beggar Army" Training Camp*1, Luck Value*500, Epic Equipment: Yuwang Lance*1!] 】
Zhao Yun hurriedly received the task, then looked at Chengdu City not far away, waved his big hand, and said to the group of civil and military generals who followed behind him, "Just follow Yuan Zhi's plan, and those who are the first to attack Chengdu City will be rewarded with thousands of gold and enter the position!" ”
"No!"
A group of generals excitedly saluted Zhao Yun and retreated, and just as Xu Shu and the three were about to withdraw, Zhao Yun stopped them.
"Yuan Zhi, Chen Ping, Mao Gong, don't rush the three of you first, for Yuan Zhi's strategy, there will be some places that need to be added."
When the three strategists heard this, they hurriedly gathered in front of Zhao Yun, and the four of them talked quietly with each other for nearly an hour, and then Xu Shu, Chen Ping, and Xu Maogong retreated.
After Zhao Yun waited for the three of them to leave, he sat in the empty tent, picked up an altar of immortal drunkenness, and poured it directly.
The next day, in the city of Chengdu, the street was still a scene of people coming and going, and in a tavern on the side of the road, there were bustling drinkers.
Between the cups, a drinker deliberately glanced around, then lowered his voice and said to the drinkers at the same table, "I don't know if you brothers know about the fire the night before?" ”
"I don't just know, the fire the night before, but many people have witnessed it with their own eyes."
"Yes, that fire is not small, I am afraid you can see it clearly outside the city!"
Several drinkers suddenly became interested, and said nonsense, and the drinker who was the first to mention the fire smiled lightly, "Then do you know what the fire is used for?" ”
"Didn't the state pastor post a post saying that the workshop where the cloth was stored caught fire?"
A drinker asked a little strangely, and a pair of eyes suddenly fixed on the drinker.
I saw that the drinker who had just taken the lead in mentioning the fire smiled slightly, and said to everyone, "That's not a workshop where cloth is stored at all, if it is cloth, where would there be such a big fire, not to mention, have you ever seen the price of cloth shop drop by a point recently?" ”
After this man said this, the group of drinkers suddenly came back to their senses, and one of the brothers fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking, and looking at the reaction of everyone, the man continued, "The contemptible person knows some inside information, and the place where the fire is on fire is probably the place where the grain is stored, but the people of the state priest's mansion have concealed the news." ”
After saying that, the man stood up, and his words stopped abruptly, he took out a bag of money from his bosom, threw it on the table, bowed to the drinkers, and said, "I am a little too strong to drink today, so I will take my leave first, and I will drink with you next time." ”
After the man left, several people sitting in the corner of the restaurant hurriedly ran out and ran in the direction of the various families in the city.
At the same time, news spread from all corners of the city that the granary had burned down and that there was not much grain and grass left.
In the governor's mansion, Huang Quan angrily smashed the book in his hand in front of the kneeling people in the hall, and scolded loudly, "What are you doing?!! Why did the news spread all over the city in just two days!! ”
The few people kneeling in the hall didn't dare to refute anything, buried their heads deep in the ground, and their whole bodies kept shaking.
Looking at the few people who didn't say a word, Huang Quan suddenly became even more angry, and almost roared and said, "Come on, pull these wastes out for me, and cut them all!" ”
"Don't, my lord, we are wronged, wronged......"
Several people were immediately frightened and begged for mercy, but the armor outside the door did not stop for a moment, and directly pulled a few people out.
As the hall quieted down, Huang Quan turned around and looked at the Lei Tong generals on the side, "General Lei, what do you think about this matter?" ”
"I'm afraid this matter is inseparable from Zhao Yun's house, the matter of grain and grass is only known to the soldiers who put out the fire that night and a few of us, even the state pastor never knows."
Lei Tong thought for a moment, and then said his judgment, Huang Quan was silent for a moment when he heard this, and at this time, Wu Lan next to him said, "Since this Zhao Yun already knows that we have little grain and grass left, I am afraid that we will block the vicinity of Chengdu City, and we are afraid that we will not be able to adjust the grain from the outside......"
"Hey, it seems that I can only forcibly collect grain from those wealthy families in the city......"
Wu Ban, who had not spoken, said, as soon as these words came out, Wu Yi and Wu Lan looked at Wu Yi in surprise, "Brother, no, this move must not be!" ”
"Hmph, why not? These wealthy families are in line with the sun on weekdays, and after the lord became seriously ill, he never paid taxes again! ”
Huang Quan snorted coldly, and said angrily, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction with the family's heroes, and Lei Tong also said, "These damn wall grasses, I really don't know whether to live or die, Mr. Gongheng, I will lead the troops to slaughter them now!" ”
