Chapter 1363 Xu Shu buys grain, Cao Bi makes bad

Fa Zheng had a sudden idea and thought of making trouble in food and grass. In front of everyone's eyes, he humiliated Liu Bei.

You must know that this was done under Liu Bei's nose.

Liu Bei praised Fa Zheng at that time.

If things broke out in the end, Liu Bei and Xu Shu would never have thought of this.

Who would have known that Fa Zheng would be so cruel and transfer so much food. How much effort and effort did it take?

In order to cause trouble for Liu Bei, Fa Zheng really put a lot of effort into it.

Xu Shuke hated Fa Zheng to death.

It was only at such a critical moment that such a huge change would definitely hurt Yizhou.

Xu Shu had a gloomy face and didn't say anything, and Fei Guan and Xu Zhang didn't dare to say anything more. Especially Fei Guan, he had already said enough and was a little worried that Xu Shu would put the blame on him, so he would be really wronged.

It is hard to think like this for free. In the end, there must be someone who takes responsibility for such a big thing. Judging from past experience, Fei Shi believes that neither Liu Bei nor Xu Shu will bear this responsibility. There is insufficient food and grass, and the army is in turmoil, especially when confronting the army of the Shenwu court, Liu Bei will definitely launch a scapegoat. Fa Zheng is a qualified candidate, after all, he did the things. Will the key soldiers believe it? I am afraid that the entire responsibility will fall on Fei Guan, who manages the food and grass.

Fei Guan betrayed Liu Zhang and surrendered to Liu Bei, and has offended many of Liu Zhang's loyal subordinates and neutral forces. Fei Guan was deeply trusted by Liu Bei and others could not attack him. If this matter was revealed, would those who had been envious, jealous and hated Fei Guan before missed such a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation?

I'm afraid Fei Guan can't even explain it if he has a hundred mouth.

Fei Guan really wanted to stop taking this position, but looking at Xu Shu's expression, he really didn't have the courage to say this.

Xu Shu seemed silent, but in fact he was always thinking about how to solve this problem.

It is a huge joke that there is no food and grass in the treasury in Yizhou. If it is known to the world, Liu Bei will definitely laugh to death. The country of Yizhou is as stupid as Liu Zhang, and the grain in the treasury is piled up like mountains. Liu Bei, a hero, made Yizhou without any food. Wouldn't it be even worse than the stupid Liu Zhang?

This is not the most deadly thing. Now in a war, when there is a shortage of food and grass, it will be very difficult for Liu Bei to be on the front line. The soldiers can't even have enough food to eat, and will they listen to Liu Bei? It would be great if there is no mutiny.

In short, if this problem is not solved, Liu Bei's defeat will be decided. Once Liu Bei loses Yizhou, he will never be able to turn around.

Fei Guan sent out to investigate the granaries around Chengdu and returned, and they brought a report as Xu Shu expected. Fei Guan and Xu Zhang's faces turned pale. They knew that the seriousness of this incident had exceeded the level that the entire Yizhou could bear.

"Haha!" Xu Shu suddenly laughed.

Fei Guan and Xu Zhang were both shocked. Xu Shu could laugh out loud in this situation. Could it be that he was greatly stimulated and was crazy about losing his heart, right?

"Military advisor, are you okay?" Fei Guan and Xu Zhang asked in unison.

However, they instantly felt that it was too embarrassing to ask this question. How could Xu Shu be stimulated? The two of them could not withstand the stimulation, and it was not Xu Shu's turn. Xu Shu's heart was so strong that they could not match.

Feeling the abnormality between Fei Guan and Xu Zhang, Xu Shu said with a smile: "You don't need to worry, you two! I just laughed. It was because I laughed at the fact that the Fa Xiaozhi system had all been calculated, but there was a big omission! There is no shortage of food and grass in Yizhou!"

The saying that there is no shortage of food and grass in Yizhou surprised Xu Zhang and Fei Guan. It seems that Xu Shu already has a plan to deal with it.

"Military advisor, what should we do? What should we do at the subordinates?" Fei Guan is now managing food and grass, and he cannot escape the relationship. He most hopes to know how to solve it.

Xu Shu looked around, and Xu Zhang understood and hurriedly dispersed the idle people around him.

The remaining three are Xu Zhang, Fei Guan and Xu Shu.

Xu Shu said, "Fa Xiaozhi and Zhang Ziqiao are both ambitions and use the strategy of cutting off firewood from the cauldron, intending to put our Yizhou in a place of irreversible consequences. However, the lord wisely discovered that they had two intentions very early and asked them to leave Yizhou hastily."

When Xu Shu told a lie, his face was not blushing and his heart was not beating.

Xu Zhang and Fei Guan are both sensible people and will not expose Xu Shu.

Xu Shu continued: "Fa Zheng and Zhang Song left hastily, and they are now transferring the food and grass. But I concluded that they are still in Yizhou."

Fei Guan and Xu Zhang's eyes lit up, and Xu Shu said this. Fa Zheng and Zhang Song would definitely not be able to transport the food and grass out of Yizhou at once. As long as you make up your mind to search, you will definitely gain something.

"Military advisor, the official knows what to do!" Xu Zhang immediately responded.

Xu Shu knew Xu Zhang's intelligence and efficiency, and believed that he could do it well, so he nodded and said, "Go and do it!"

Xu Zhang smiled and took the order and went down to search.

Fei Guan and Xu Shu are left.

Xu Shu said to Fei Guan seriously: "Mr. Fei, no one expected this to happen. But you can rest assured that the lord will never blame you. If you have any responsibility, this military advisor will bear it!"

Fei Guan is an old bureaucrat, not a person as loyal to Liu Bei as Xu Shu. Xu Shu could see at a glance that Fei Guan was worried about taking responsibility, so he would make the words clear first so that Fei Guan would not be worried and affect his subsequent work.

Fei Guan felt relieved when Xu Shu said this. In Yizhou, Fei Guan didn't even dare to believe Liu Bei's words 100%, but Xu Shu's words were 100%. The entire Yizhou knew that Liu Bei's military advisor Xu Yuanzhi had a word of everything. As long as he said he was responsible, he would not let others take the blame.

"Military advisor, the subordinate will definitely serve as the military advisor and the lord." Fei Guan pronounced the word "Military advisor very heavily, and the meaning of it is self-evident.

"Mr. Fei has this heart, and I am very pleased with my lord." Xu Shu wanted Fei Shi's attitude. As for whom he was loyal to, he didn't care. He would first talk about the difficulties at this time.

Xu Shu waved to Fei Guan, and Fei Guan immediately approached the past.

Xu Shu said quietly: "Mr. Fei must block the news. You cannot miss any word. The soldiers and personnel here must be kept under strict supervision."

"I understand!" Fei Guan knew what Xu Shu meant.

Xu Shu continued: "Mr. Fei is now arranging manpower to buy food from the public at a price of 10% higher than the market price, in case of any situation."

Xu Shu knew about Fa Zheng and Zhang Song's ability. They were determined to plot against Liu Bei, and it was possible that so much food and grass could be transported out of Yizhou. Therefore, Xu Zhang went to search, and Xu Shu believed that there was not much gain. However, Xu Zhang could not be sent to investigate.

Now, Xu Shu has to make preparations. First purchase part of the grain and grass from the people for backup, and don’t come back when there is really no grain and grass.

"The official understands!" Fei Guan admired Xu Shu's method very much. He bought grain at a price of 10% higher than the market price, which would not attract too many people's attention and quietly solved the problem.

Xu Shu's method can only be carried out quietly. If it is discovered by someone who is interested, it will definitely raise the price of food. Xu Shu will have to take action and replenish the food with bloody means.

Indeed, Xu Zhang searched the entire Chengdu city and gained nothing. Xu Zhang returned to Xu Shu in dismay to report the matter.

Xu Shu comforted Xu Zhang with kind words and asked him to go to work.

Fei Shi used the price instructed by Xu Shu to publicly purchase food and grass among the people.

Such actions did not make the people feel abnormal. The government often purchases grain at higher prices than market prices. Some people who store grain are willing to take out the grain from their homes except for their own use for money.

Yizhou is rich and there is surplus grain at home. The price given by Fei Shi is also very attractive to the people, so the purchase of grain is very smooth.

The major forces in Chengdu City did not find any problems. However, Cao Bi was very concerned about the news.

Combined with some of the actions of Fa Zheng Yizhou before, Cao Bi knew that there was not much food in the granary under Liu Bei's command. Cao Bi immediately summoned all his subordinates over.

"Xu Shu is indeed a talented person. He soon discovered Fa Zheng's hands and feet. He still wanted to quietly replenish the food." Cao Biyin said deeply: "Do you think we should do something? Let Xu Shu suffer a big loss."

"Sir, the villain thinks that even if I need to take action at this time, I cannot let the adults come forward." A spy came out and said.

"That's right! Sir, there are too many stupid people in Yizhou. If we use our tricks a little, someone will do it. We hide behind and wait for it to be successful. Wouldn't it be nice!" Another spy came out to speak.

Cao Bi felt it made sense. If you want to deal with the enemy, you must also protect your own safety.

"Since that's the case, we're like this!" Cao Bi, the bad seed, began to plan a bad idea for the Yizhou government to purchase grain.

Cao Bi's men quickly showed their eyes, and they were all bad people like Cao Bi. After the plan came out, they began to act.

Soon, among the major families in Chengdu, a news circulated. Liu Bei and Liu Yu were constantly confronting each other. Yizhou's money and grain expenditure was huge. Lord Liu Bei, the governor of Yizhou, wanted all the major families to donate some of the food and grass to supply military supplies.

As soon as this news came to the ears of the aristocratic families, they instantly panicked them. Last time, Liu Bei killed the aristocratic families once, and now he is coming again. This is like this every time, and it is really endless.

The aristocratic families all understand people. The source of the news is not official, but they believe in the news. Look at Fei Shi who has gathered people to purchase food and grass from the public. Isn’t this a prelude to let the aristocratic families donate?

They concluded that this was Liu Bei's instructions to Fei Shi, who wanted to use the excuse of insufficient food and grass to force the aristocratic families to donate. They all purchased from the public, would the food and grass be sufficient? This excuse is absolutely correct.

Will Liu Bei be short of food? The aristocratic families absolutely do not believe it. In the country of Tianfu in Yizhou, there is no food to eat, and a lot of waste is wasted.

Will Liu Bei force the aristocratic families to donate? That will definitely happen. According to the observation of the aristocratic families, Liu Bei is definitely the kind of selfish person.

There were families who were not very happy to donate to Liu Bei before. The families in Chengdu all knew what they were going to do. The families in Chengdu were all clear about their fate. Their families were destroyed!

I think this is impossible to escape. But the wealth and food in the hands of the aristocratic families is limited, and they cannot withstand Liu Bei's donation time and time again. This time I gave it, what should I do next time? The mountains of gold and silver cannot satisfy Liu Bei's appetite.

I don’t know who came up with a bad idea to ask the aristocratic families to purchase grain, so that they can guarantee that they still have food to use next time. If these aristocratic families are forced to end their lives by Liu Bei, how can they live that life?

The families of aristocratic families all think it makes sense. Fei Shi is just pretending and will not really buy it. So in case of precautions, these aristocratic families really need to buy some grain to prepare.

If Liu Bei took some of it and was unhappy, they still had room for reversal. If they served Liu Bei well, they would have a good life in Yizhou. Now that Liu Bei and Liu Yu are confronting each other, the aristocratic families think that Liu Bei has a great chance of winning, so they probably left Yizhou in shame in the end. Yizhou is still the world of Liu Bei.

Why do these aristocratic families dare not fight against Liu Bei? Or they gathered to resist Liu Bei's tyranny?

It’s not that they dared not, but that they were afraid. In the impression of the aristocratic families, Liu Bei was definitely not as kind as he said on the surface, but a ruthless master. Liu Bei didn’t know how many excuses he used to kill many people.

In order to give Liu Bei an explanation, these aristocratic families also began to purchase grain and grass. Their purchase price was slightly higher than that of the government.

The people are real, and they know how to choose in front of copper coins.

The actions of the aristocratic families instantly caused a wave of follow-up. Many grain merchants also began to increase the price of grain purchases. They all rely on grain to make a living, so the price is relatively higher than that of the government and the aristocratic families.

Cao Bi, who was hiding in the dark, felt happy to see that he easily made such a scene.

Of course, Cao Bi must have come out to buy grain. If he didn't do anything at all, it would be even more eye-catching. Our Cao Daguanren is a big businessman in Yizhou. No matter what business Cao Bi is doing, it will be.

Fei Shi's acquisition was hit and he hurriedly reported the news to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu was originally planning how to defeat Liu Yu, but Fei Shi's report surprised him. He felt that he had underestimated the ability of the Yizhou family. From the slightest move, it can be seen that Liu Bei was short of food and was now starting to raise prices.
