What made Li Miao feel fortunate was that the Tongque secret agent who contacted him before seemed to have died in the chaos.

Coincidentally, the other party originally pretended to be a Han army, but he met Hu Zun alone.

was beaten by Ma Chao and Zhang He, and Hu Zun, who was worried that he had nowhere to vent, decisively got to know the little soldier with one shot.

Can't kill the general, and can't kill a small soldier of yours?

As everyone knows, the other party is a bronze spying who came to lead the way for him.

"It's dangerous...... finally escaped, no matter what Sima Yi said, I won't admit it if I die! ”

"Dawei is in danger, or Dahan's side is safer!"

"Instead of being a high-ranking official, let's save my head first!"

Li Miao made up his mind not to trouble Zhuge Liang for the time being, nor to take the initiative to contact Tongque.

The Han army has won another victory, morale is high, and the monarchs and ministers are united in their hearts, and they have already made the next deployment.

Due to Zhuge Liang's policy of locking up the city, Hongnong was completely cut off from the surrounding area.

The price of grain in the city has skyrocketed, and now the grain is eaten one grain and one grain is missing.

The food crisis is for the people, but the family does not have this worry.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the collapse of a fortress often comes from within."

"Attacking Hongnong is really unwise, and it is also the result that Sima Yi is willing to see."

"So, the next step is to make the enemy collapse internally."

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and ordered Ma Chao, Zhang He and others to personally burn the baggage left by the Wei army in the Han army's camp.

Seeing that the grain and grass were burned, the hearts of the Wei soldiers on the city tower were dripping blood.

Only now have they discovered the truth that every grain is hard.

The grain and grass in the city have also been slightly reduced, after all, it is not the imperial court that provides food and wages, but now it has been replaced by the major scholars of Hongnong.

……

Inside the city of Hongnong.

The rise in food prices has brought the people to complain.

But now in order to survive, they have to buy grain at a high price.

If you don't buy it now, the price of food tomorrow will only be higher!

Yang De, the son of the Yang family, led a group of children of the scholar clan and made a lot of money.

Their group of people just like to make a fortune in the country, anyway, whether it is the Han Dynasty or the Great Wei, if they want to govern Hongnong, they can't help the Yang family.

The other scholars are all headed by the Yang family, and depending on what the Yang family does, they will follow suit.

In order to earn more Zhibai money, Yang De intensified his efforts, reducing the supplies provided to the Wei army and putting them all into the market.

"The money I have earned in the past few days is comparable to the harvest of several years!"

"I really hope that the Han army will attack the city a few more times, where is the Mi caravan still in the world?"

Yang De didn't feel the slightest sense that danger was coming.

On this day, Yang De, as usual, took advantage of the food crisis to make a windfall, but was directly arrested by Hu Zun and Wang Chang.

"You are the one who resells grain and raises the price of grain!"

"Let's go, Taifu wants to see you dog thief!"

Yang De had seen the two of them before, and immediately yelled: "You let go of me!" It's just two dogs raised by Sima Yi, what qualifications do you have to do it to me? ”

"Even if it's Sima Yi, now I have to rely on my Hongnong Yang clan to barely resist the Han army!"

"If you move me, you are despising the entire Hongnong clan, I am the son of the Yang family!"

Wang Chang had some scruples, he naturally knew the gold content of Hongnong Yang's family.

But Hu Zun was born in Liangzhou and didn't care about this matter, so he gave Yang De two slaps when he went up, and slapped the Yang family to shut up immediately.

Sima Yi has been waiting for a long time, and now Hongnong is mourning because of the high price of grain, and even the army is dissatisfied with the reduction of grain and grass.

If Yang De is allowed to do anything wrong, without Zhuge Liang attacking the city, Hongnong may not be able to attack himself.

It was with this in mind that Sima Yi decided to make an example of the monkeys and give these Hongnong clans a wake-up call.

Now Hongnong City, it is he Sima Yi who has the final say!

Yang De was arrested, which soon aroused the vigilance of the major scholars, and everyone came to intercede for Yang De under the leadership of Yang Xuan.

Sima Yi is as stable as Mount Tai, and it is true that the strength of the scholars is strong, but they can't fight with themselves who have military power.

"Zhongda...... My dog is ignorant and has done unwise things behind my back. ”

"I also hope that Zhongda will look at the old man's face and let the dog live."

"Hongnong Yang, I will definitely stand firmly on your side!"

Yang Xuan is full of sincerity, after all, he is his own son, even if he is not angry, he must save it.

"Master Yang, your son is not a small crime!"

"If he is allowed to do anything wrong, I'm afraid Hongnong City will be self-defeating!"

"Mrs. Ben also wants to give him a chance to reform himself, but the military order is like a mountain!"

Sima Yi frowned coldly, and treated Yang Xuan without the slightest politeness before.

Yang Xuan touched a nail, his brows furrowed, obviously understanding Sima Yi's intentions.

This is to use the head of his own son to warn everyone in Hongnong City.

Now the master of Hongnong City is him Sima Yi!

"Come on, push Yang De to the entrance of the vegetable market and ask for beheading!"

"Tell the people and soldiers that the culprits of raising food prices have been punished!"

"Whoever dares to intercede for Yang De will end up with him!"

Sima Yi's voice was loud, but it silenced Hongnong and the other scholars.

When the Tsukasa Tiger showed his butcher knife, they realized that it was terrible!

Yang Xuan's old eyes were cloudy, and he witnessed the beheading of his son Yang De.

Between father and son, they couldn't even say the last word.

Yang De's head fell to the ground and was spurned by thousands of people in Hongnong, but he looked in the direction of Sima Yi without looking at him.

This trick set an example for chickens and monkeys, and it quickly paid off.

Food prices stabilized again, the scholars did not dare to play tricks anymore, and the food and wages of the soldiers defending the city were also guaranteed.

What surprised Sima Yi even more was Hongnong Yang's attitude.

Yang Xuan personally came to the door and sent a lot of food to express his support for Sima Yi to resist the Han army.

I just ask Sima Yi to ignore his past suspicions, and not to have unhappiness with the Yang family because of a Yang De.

Sima Yi did not doubt Yang Xuan's sincerity, after all, as the head of the clan, he had already achieved a solid heart.

"Don't worry, the head of the Yang family, in the future, I will give you a few more places for the children of the clan to go to Luoyang!"

Sima Yi drew the cake first, and whether he could cash it out is another matter.

"Then thank you Mrs. Sima!"

Yang Xuan is walking on thin ice, Sima Yi, who is twenty years younger than himself, is now very respectful.

This further confirmed Sima Yi's idea, Yang De's head made the entire Hongnong City afraid!

What Sima Yi wanted was this result, and he could arbitrarily mobilize the resources in the hands of the Hongnong clan.

Whether it's private soldiers, food, or money!

As long as he controls all the resources in the city, he can continue to fight Zhuge Liang!

As everyone knows, all this is under Zhuge Liang's control.

The collapse of the fortress often stems from the inside.

Yang De walked out of Sima Yi's mansion, and Fang Cai's silent appearance had disappeared.

"Sima Yi! The old man will definitely avenge his son! ”
