Han country.

After the suppression of the army, the city became extremely depressed overnight. There were many casualties among the people in the city, and the monarch and the Marquis did not open a warehouse to distribute grain. As a result, many people who had no food had to flee.

After the nobles donated a large amount of grain and grass, the army of Han began to camp on the border to guard against the invasion of Huai, accompanied by many nobles and nobles, as well as their private army.

There is still about half of the army left in the capital to protect the capital, in addition, many nobles have left a lot of private troops to defend the mansion, after all, they also know that many people have no food to eat, who knows if these people will take risks for food.

The whole country of Han has become very nervous.

Although there was a shortage of grain in Hanguo, there were always some people who hoarded grain and grass, after all, the price of grain was cheap at the beginning, and most of these people were nobles.

After discovering that Huai did not attack immediately, these nobles also had strange thoughts. Soon, some nobles began to sell grain at high prices.

After learning that there was grain for sale, a large number of people came to buy it, but when they arrived here, they found that the price of grain had become more expensive, and it had doubled.

But they had no choice but to do so. So in order not to starve to death, these people had to use the only money they had to buy food.

There was not much of this food, it could only be eaten for a few days, and soon the food was eaten, and these people could only buy it again, and there were a few more quietly selling grain in the city. However, the price of food has not decreased in the slightest, and everyone seems to have negotiated it, and the price of food is exactly the same.

At first, the people of the city still had some money to buy, but after a few days, the money ran out, so they had to exchange cocoons, cloth, bronze and other items.

However, at the time of exchange, goods that were once worth a lot of money became extremely cheap. Many civilians were dissatisfied with this exchange, but they were powerless to resist in the face of the strong, armed private soldiers.

In the end, in order to survive, these people had to sell their various materials, land, and even houses little by little. In just one month, a large number of people have become destitute, and these nobles in the city are full of fat food one by one.

Most of these nobles were nobles who had a close relationship with the Marquis of Han, and at the same time secretly cooperated with Shang Rong. Of course, they did not betray Han Hou. The cooperation between the two sides is only to negotiate and provide them with some food.

Let Shang Rong secretly provide food is naturally Wang Lin's meaning, originally Shang Rong was a little strange, why did the king give these people food, isn't this the enemy? But during this time, what he saw with his own eyes made him understand Wang Lin's intentions.

Do you think that if you give these nobles grain, they will give it to the marquis or use it to distribute it to the people at a low price? Impossible, meat eaters despise. Never overestimate the bottom line of these aristocrats. In fact, until now, if all the stocks in Hanguo were taken out and distributed equally, it would be enough for everyone to eat for three or four months.

When there was a shortage of food in Hanguo, the first reaction of the nobles was to take the grain away. Previously, the advice of the Ram Jie, Han Guo only used part of it, such as informing the people that this was a conspiracy of Huai thieves and wanted to make the people hate Huai Guo.

At the beginning, this practice did make the people in the city hate the Huai State, if the Huai State attacked at this time, even if the Han State was conquered, it would also need to pay a great price, and the people in the city would also hate the Huai State, which would be unfavorable to the future rule.

However, after the nobles in the city sold grain at a high price, the situation slowly changed. The people found that it was not that there was no food in the city, but that it was in the hands of the nobles. The nobles used only some grain to plunder the wealth that the common people had accumulated over decades. Many people even have to sell their children and daughters.

The common people felt that they had been fooled by the nobles, and their hearts were filled with hatred for the nobles.

......

Ram Xie stood on the pavilion, looking at the palace in the distance, not long ago, he went to the palace again to make a message to the Marquis of Han, asking the Marquis of Han to kill the nobles of Qi, Peng, and Yue who sold grain, in order to vent the grievances of the people, and confiscate their property and grain. He gave back to the people what they had and sold the grain at a low price.

It's a pity that his suggestion was rejected directly. These nobles are either the cronies of the Marquis of Han, or they are in-laws with the Marquis of Han, and their relationship is far closer than that of the Ram Jie. On the contrary, his words aroused the hostility and attack of several other nobles.

I know that things will be irreversible if they continue, but I can't do it, which is a bad feeling.

"A bunch of insects, don't conspire! The marquis, the miser, will die for this! Thinking of this, the ram slapped the railing in front of him fiercely.

"Master, it's time to eat!" A retainer stepped forward and whispered.

"Got it!" The ram returns to the chamber.

His wife and son were already waiting for him, and Ram Xie looked at his wife and son, and then said: "The marquis of Han is stingy with money, refuses to help the people, distributes food, and the secretary is short-sighted, taking the opportunity to collect money, and there are strong enemies outside. With such internal and external troubles, destruction is not far away. ”

"From today onwards, close the door and don't go out, so as not to encounter misfortune!"

His wife and son responded one after another.

......

The army of Huai has been staying at the border, only monitoring the military camp of Han State every day, and has no intention of sending troops, and Wei Ping did not attack Han State. Hanguo is short of food, as long as it is consumed here, Hanguo will soon be unable to hold on.

In the big camp, the three thousand Huai elite are practicing the formation, these three thousand men look tall and burly, with serious faces, looking forward to the majestic and majestic, the three thousand people battle formation changes like a circle, the formation changes like a person, and at a glance you know that it is the elite of the elite.

Huaiguo is located in the land of Huaisi, there are many rivers, and chariots are not used, so the proportion of Huaiguo chariots is not high, but the soldiers are extremely elite.

In addition to these 3,000 elites, there were also 30,000 soldiers who went out together, although these soldiers were not as good as the 3,000 elites, but they were also well-trained veterans. In terms of combat power alone, it would not take 30,000 troops to destroy the Han State, and half of the army would be more than enough.

This time, the army went out to prepare for the destruction of the Han country in a war.

Wei Ping looked at the map in front of him, he already had several plans in his mind to destroy the Han State, and when the time was ripe, he would immediately send troops to destroy the Han State. And soon this opportunity came.

Because of the blind operation of the Marquis of Han and those nobles, soon the people of Han couldn't stand it anymore and began to flee. These people helped the old and the young flee from Han and went to Huai.

Wei Ping did not stop these people, but let them be received, and prepared food for them, and kept a register of them. Seeing the Huai people treating them like this, these people immediately supported the Huai State and informed them of what had happened in the capital of the Han State.

Knowing the operation of the Marquis of Han and those nobles, Wei Ping almost laughed out loud, God helped me, and immediately asked these Han people to tell the Han army who confronted them what happened in the national capital.

......

In the second year of the king, Huai Yili lured Han, bought hemp and cocoons at a high price, and sold grain at a low price. In five years, there will be no one in ten who will grow grain. Huai ran out of food, the country ran out of food, and starved all over the wilderness. The ram persuaded the Marquis of Han to divide the grain, saying that the same enemy was resentful, and those who wanted the same up and down won, but the Marquis of Han refused, and said, the grain of the levied soldiers was divided among the countrymen, and he refused. The ram sighed and said: This miser, the country of Han will perish. ——"The Bamboo Book Chronicle: Huaiguo"
