Shucheng Shiting Shiting Mountain Mianshan and Shishi went down four days! Wuwei even fell down after hearing the news.

Most of the Lujiang River is already in Lu Bu's hands, but no one in Lu Bu's army is slacking off.

Although Lujiang is good, it cannot afford the nearly 40,000 troops of Lubu's army! The Lujiang County has less than 20,000 households and a population of only more than 150,000. This is because Lujiang is far away from the war in the Shaoli period of the Central Plains.

A population of 150,000 is 40,000? This is so powerful that the population of grain is a major problem.

You can't let Lu Bu dismiss his troops! What's the difference between that and seeking death?

"How much food and grass are left in Gongtai Lujiang!" Lu Bu frowned at the pile of documents on the table.

"There are less than 7,000 stones left!" Chen Gong shook his head. The seven thousand stones of grain looked a lot but not much. If he just raised his troops and used it carefully, it would only take less than twenty days to reach the weight.

If there is a war, these seven thousand stones will not be enough.

"Where is the surrounding fields?" Sun Ce not only took away his troops and horses in Wancheng, but also transported all the food and grass, so he did not get much food and grass to capture Wancheng.

"Tiandi?" Chen Gong smiled bitterly, "Lord, it's only Xia Chu now. If you want to have new grain, it will take at least three months!"

"Three months?" Lu Bujun can't hold on for even a month now.

"Can you buy it on the market?!" It will take several months to wait until the arrival of new grain.

"Lord, there is food in this market but it is ridiculously expensive!" Chen Gong was helpless. Grain and grass were originally gold in troubled times, but it could not be so expensive. It costs half a pound of rice, but it costs hundreds of dollars, and a gold price can only be bought less than one stone.

The gap between Lu Bujun is very large and rarely says it requires tens of thousands of stones of food and grass. If you buy them all, you can't afford it even if you sell Lu Bujun.

"What about the people's hands? Can you collect grain?!"

"The people have no excess food in their hands." After all, it is not the time when new grain is just released, so it is impossible for the people to have excess food in their hands.

"Borrow it from those gentry and wealthy families!" Lu Bu said.

"Lord, if you can borrow the road, there is no need to be such trouble!" The rice and grain shops in Wancheng are basically held by these gentry families, but when Chen Gong went to borrow food, he was ruthless. Either there was no grain or just borrowed a little.

You can't say that if someone doesn't borrow it, a family will pay a few stones or dozens of stones. If it's just an ordinary family, it's already a family or even a few families' stored grain. But this is a gentry! Aristocrats with tens of acres of fertile land. Don't you want to borrow it? That's all! They are crying and poor, making you embarrassed to say something.

Especially the Zhou family, Chen family and Liu family were the main ones, and they were even closed-door and only sent out a room to receive Chen Gong. Chen Gong was not too much, because if you want to manage a place, you must get the support of local soldiers.

"Hmph!" Lu Bu suddenly slapped the table, "Don't you borrow it? Gongtai. You sent someone to deliver a letter to the patriarchs of the wealthy families of all and big gentry in Lujiang, and said that I would be going to host a banquet in this prefect's mansion!"

"Lord, you?!" Chen Gong was a little worried, for fear that Lu Bu would cut them all out of the way, and that would be a big problem. The Han Dynasty ruled the world with the gentry, and Chen Gong also wanted to kill all of these gentry, which would really offend people. At least Lujiang would fall into turmoil.

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of duty at the office!"

Zhou family in Wancheng.

A middle-aged man was paced back and forth in the hall, holding a famous thorn in his hand, which was an invitation letter sent by Lu Bu.

There were also a few people sitting on the seat next to it.

"What is the intention of Lu Bu's invitation to wait?" The middle-aged man was the head of the Liu family, the largest aristocratic family in Anhui City, Liu Xuan.

The Liu family is really a relative of the Han Dynasty, not a relative of the Han Dynasty who messed with relatives like Liu Bei and Liu Mang, but a lineage from Liu Zhen, the Marquis of Lu Di, who came from the real King Jing of Zhongshan!

The Liu family has been taking root in Lujiang since Liu Zhen and is a domineering Wancheng. There was originally a Lu family who competed with him, but the Lu family has been in trouble since Lu Kang's death.

Therefore, all the gentry in Wancheng all took the Liu family as the leader.

"Brother Liu, what are the intentions of the slaves in the three surnames? Isn't it just that I want me to give him food and grass! A dog with a broken family cannot last long. We must not give him food and grass to sit firmly in Lujiang!" A sitting gentry clan leader stood up and said.

"That's right, Lu Bu is a man of fur. Although he has won Wancheng, it won't last long. If we give him food and grass, he is defeated, where can we reason?" He is another patriarch of the rich clan.

"Lu Bu has more than 30,000 troops, so can't he really defend Wancheng?!" Some gentry hesitated a little. The Han Dynasty was basically occupied by geniuses. They did not conquer the world, but they were investing everywhere. Some of them were disdainful of Lu Bu and were naturally interested in Lu Bu.

If the princes can achieve hegemony, they can be promoted by the dragon's merits. If the princes cannot achieve success, it will be just a loss of family property. The foundation of the gentry remains unchanged.

"Don't you see Zhang Miao, Yanzhou, Cao Bao, Xuzhou?" Someone sneered. "Chen Liu and Zhang Miao, the Zhang family is much more important than the family affairs here, and the Cao family in Pengcheng is even more dominant in Xuzhou! But so what? Zhang Miao died and the Zhang family was uprooted by Cao Cao. The former Yanzhou clan could only be a low-key person in the end.

The Cao family was even more miserable. I thought that his daughter married Lu Bu would make the Cao family more stable in Xuzhou. Who would have thought that Lu Bu had too many enemies, and in the end, he was not only peeled off by Cao Mengde, but also caused a lot of harm by Liu Bei. The Cao family disappeared directly into the forest of the gentry.

With these two companies as examples, who else dares to fund Lu Bu?

"But if Lu Bu doesn't give military rations, what if he is anxious and jumps over the wall!" Someone said worriedly. After all, the owner of Wancheng is now Lu Bu, and it would be no good for him to make Lu Bu angry.

"Does he dare?!" This is the voice of the head of the Chen family. "Lu Bu kills my brother, and he is irreconcilable to the heavens. If I am ugly, whoever supports Lu Bu will be unable to get along with my Chen family!" The person who spoke was Chen Hui, and his brother was Chen Rui who was strangled to death by Lu Bu. Chen Rui's contribution is indispensable to the Chen family's success. With Chen Rui in the presence of Chen family, the Chen family can have a stable low position in the Jiangdong Shilin.

"What the head of the Chen family said is very much! If he dares to jump over the wall in a hurry, we will offend us. He will offend the entire Jiangdong gentry, and even the entire world's gentry! At that time, there will be no place for Lu Fengxian to live in this world!" The murderous gentry is simple, but killing a group will be really a big trouble, and even the big gentry are connected with each other.

For example, the original Lu family in Wancheng, although Sun Ce seized Wancheng and forced Lu Kang to death, it also caused more than a hundred people in the Lu family clan to be implicated and killed. Logically speaking, the Lu family should have no threat to Sun Ce.

However, in the end, Sun Quan took office and activated the Lu family to reuse Lu Xun for compensation.

Why? Because these gentry broke their bones and tendons, they couldn't say that the wife of the Lu family in the head present was the daughter of the Lu family.

It is impossible to say that the daughters of these people, the sisters married Lu as their wives and concubines.

"And we don't give military rations!" It was a matter of future that Lu Bu really forced him to the Jedi, and he reached the point of life and death. He could really start a massacre and not offend the gentry. He would fill his stomach first and then say, "A family can't starve to death, and he can't eat enough. This is the right way!"

The heads and clan leaders nodded one after another.

"Brother Zhou, what do you think!" The head of the Liu family turned his eyes to the head of the Zhou family who was drinking tea and silently.

The head of the Zhou family looked at everyone's eyes and turned down the teacup. He was very calm. "I will just say one thing! My cousin wrote to me that they had reached Xiakou, and Jiangxia was going down the whole day. How to do it depends on you!"

The head of the Zhou family said an uproar to the major clan leaders below. Everyone knew who the head of the Zhou family was, so they believed in his information.

Jiangxia is about to be defeated, and the days when Wancheng will be recovered are still long! They have seen Sun Ce's strength. If they were still lucky and prepared to take advantage of the situation before, then their goals will be clear now and they will never give Lu Bu military food.

Otherwise, when Sun Ce returns to the army, these opportunistic people will be really liquidated.

"Okay!" The head of the Liu family, as the leader, stood up. "All you guys will go forward and retreat together!"

"Go forward and retreat together!"
