The silence of the people made the atmosphere at the scene stiffen. There are two roads in front of you. The first one has a bright future, fertile land and three levels of taxes. Such a life is simply hope, but the reality is that you may not wait until you are starved to death. The second one is that there is no fertile land and heavy taxes, but you will not be starved to death. If you can survive, I believe that most people will definitely choose the second one instead of the first one. This is the common people, and this is the ordinary people.

"Food, food, food, food!" Xu Shu also said to himself. He said the truth, and he didn't want the people of Shouchun to be buried with him. He gradually fell down his head.

"Why, I can't speak! Refute me again! Let me tell you, Xuande Gong's army is outside the city gate, so you should let me go and surrender early, otherwise the day when the city is broken will be the day of your life!" The spy of Liu Bei's army who was besieged by two personal guards was still very arrogant.

"Haha, who told you that our army lacks food?!" Xu Shu suddenly raised his head. There was a kind of self-confidence in his face. This self-confidence was extremely easy to infect others, making the people below feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.

"Shouchun still has food and grass?" Even the spy of Liu Bei's army began to hesitate for a moment. The food and grass in Shouchun City had been used up. After all, the population base of one million is still there, so how could there be more? But seeing Xu Shu's confidence, the spy became unconfident!

"Of course there is!" Xu Shu replied directly with affirmation, "We not only have food and grass but also have a lot of inventory, which is enough to persist until next year's harvest."

"Haha, to put it nicely, if there is still food and grass in Shouchun City, why would you reduce the supply to the people? It is obvious that there is insufficient food and grass. I want to sacrifice the people. I come to guard this city, or I want these people to be buried with you!" The spy sneered. He was almost deceived by Xu Shu. If Shouchun really has food and grass, then why did Liu Mang's army invade Yuzhou? If there is really food and grass, why would Lu Bu mobilize so slowly? If there is really food and grass, why would he reduce the food and supply of the people? This would bring great panic to Shouchun!

"Yes, yes. If there is enough food and grass, why should we reduce our food? Four dou can make you full and have some leftovers. Three dou is just enough to eat, while two dou may be hungry, because two dou can only be enough to eat five points of full food. In addition, the energy consumption of some things will make your stomach hungry. Although the people don't care about starving, as long as they don't starve to death. But eating is better than starving!

"Our Shouchun food and grass are tens of thousands, and they are enough for the people to use for the spring of the coming year. But we need to prepare for the future. Not only should we see it, but we should also see the future. What if tomorrow is a drought year! What if tomorrow there is a flood tomorrow! What if your army besiege me Shouchun, I Shouchun better resist the vacant fields, and even many of the seeds have been planted were destroyed by you! In this way, how do you let us eat next year? You want to force us to death! "Xu Shu's mouth is really like a sharp sword, which is more powerful than his martial arts. He directly added the reason for reducing food on Liu Bei's army, which is telling the people that the people who make you not enough are Liu Bei's army outside the city. They not only besiege the city, but also destroy farming, so that we can't eat food next year. We are preparing for the future.

The people's anger was ignited again. The damn Liu Bei's army destroyed our arable land and wanted to starve us to death!

"Preparing for the future is enough, once is enough. Why do you need to reduce it twice?!" If you plan ahead, then each person can just eat three buckets a day. At least you have to let others have enough food! If you don't even give them enough food, what's the point if it's a shortage of food!

"The first time is indeed because of planning ahead. The second time, all the fellow villagers, Xu Shu is like you here to apologize!" As he said that, Xu Shu suddenly fell down and knelt directly at the entrance of the vegetable market, and knelt with Xie Wen.

"Apologize? Haha, is it because the food and grass was burned or robbed? You know you have an excuse, but it cannot change the fact that food and grass are short of food and grass in Shouchun City! "No matter which excuse it is, there is indeed no food and grass in Shouchun City. The problem everyone faces is that they may starve to death at any time.

"I was not burned or kidnapped, but was corrupted by this person by this grain-releasing official Xie Wen!" Xu Shu suddenly pointed at Xie Wen and cursed loudly, "When the plan was besieged by the rebels, when Shouchun City was in danger, this person was devoted to himself and was corrupt. Not only did he dereliction of duty, but he also changed military orders without issuing an order to change it to two dou, but in order to fill his personal pockets, this person concealed Shangguan, bullied the people, and deducted the food of the people, making it two dou! Fortunately, the official accidentally discovered this person's rebellion, so that he would not cause serious consequences. Now he was particularly pressed to the vegetable market for the law market, and let everyone decide what to do with this person!" Xu Shu pointed at Xie Wen and changed the three dou to two dou!"

All the matter was thrown on Xie Wen's head, and Xu Shu was helpless. Zhao Yun had good intentions and wanted to save food and let everyone persist for a longer time. However, Pang Tong had a scheming. Zhao Yun's saving food just hit the enemy's mind. Xu Shu had no choice but to increase food, but just increase food, you still couldn't hide the fact that there was a shortage of food, and even made others think too much. Therefore, someone must bear the consequences. The people don't know who the decision-making power for distributing food is in. Zhao Yun is a military general, and even if Xu Shu killed Zhao Yun, it would be useless. What's more, without Zhao Yun, a fierce general, Xu Shu could not defend Shouchun, then there was only one who could believe in and take the blame for the people!

This person is Xie Wen. Xu Shu cried as he spoke. His tears were not because of Xie Wen's corruption, but because he was really helpless. In order to appease the hearts of the army and the people, he could only sacrifice Xie Wen. He cried for Xie Wen and also because of his incompetence.

"Kill him, kill him, kill him!" The people below were so angry. It turned out that it was not because of the lack of food in the city, but because of this corrupt official. It was because of him that he had no food to eat. Isn't this that makes everyone live a bad life? Shouldn't such a person be killed!

"No. No!" Just when Xu Shu was full of sadness and the people below were also inspiring. A voice full of panic and disbelief came over. The owner of this voice was a weak woman. With the help of two men, she finally arrived at the court, but was stopped by her personal guards. "No, Wen is not such a person. Xie Wen, you speak, you speak!"

"Who is she?!" Xu Shu frowned who this woman was. Xie Wen, who had been expressionless and silent, finally spoke.

"Wan'er! Why are you here? Go back? Go back!" Xie Wen shouted with a hint of excitement.

"Wan'er?" Xu Shu naturally knew who the person was when he looked at Xie Wen's expression. It should be the woman who Xie Wen entrusted to him!

"Let her come in!" Xu Shu sighed and said, killing Xie Wen was helpless, so Xu Shu would not really treat Xie Wen like a prisoner. It was all Xu Shu could do to let Xie Wen and his wife meet before he died.

"Wan'er, Wan'er!" Xie Wen was tied with his hands, and Wu Wan'er went up and hugged Xie Wen.

"Wen, tell them that you are not such a person, not such a person!" Others don't know Xie Wen, but Wu Wan'er knows that Xie Wen is a real man. A man who stands upright should not talk about embezzlement. If there are fewer rice and grain hands in the granary, this person may even throw all his salary in. If he embezzles **, how could Xie Wen have only four dou of food a day in his family? So Xie Wen cannot embezzle "This master, our husband cannot embezzle, please be careful!" As he said that, Wu Wan'er knelt down in front of Xu Shu, kowtowed to Xu Shu, and hit the ground hard and hit Xu Shu's heart.

"Master, I can testify. This sister-in-law of the Xie family is right. Brother Wen cannot be corrupt!" The two men next to him also spoke. Although Xie Wen broke one arm, in the eyes of these two people, Xie Wen is really the hero who sang in the play. He values ​​loyalty and has principles. How could he be corrupt?

"Wen, speak, speak!" Wu Wan'er shook Xie Wen and shouted, kowtowing to Xu Shu while shouting.

"Haha, it turns out that it's just a scapegoat!" Liu Bei's spy is worthy of being able to invade Shouchun City. He can see the story of it at a glance. This grain-releasing official is a scapegoat, one takes the blame, and one who brings hatred to stabilize the morale of the army and the people. "This brother of the Xie family, tell me, everyone here, tell you that you are just framed, tell you that there is no food in this granary! With so many of us, he dare not act like you!"

Xu Shu did not speak, but looked at Xie Wen. If Xie Wen really said that his own mistakes were wronged, then everything would be over. Xu Shu brought out a total of dozens of white horses to follow the righteousness, but now there are thousands of people. Once they emerge, there is no other choice except being killed.

"Me!" Xie Wen's face was very entangled. He looked at his wife beside him with his teeth and bit his lips. Meeting her was the greatest happiness in his life. He told her that he would accompany her until he was old. They had imagined that the children in the future would even have their names. The men would be called Xie Qian and the women would be called Xie Yu! If he was killed, it would be really apart from heaven and man! Even their unborn children would not be able to see them.

"Xie Wen, tell me!" Xu Shu was also very calm. He really felt that he owed Xie Wen. This person was the Bingzhou Army who was trapped in the camp for Lu Bu and Liu Mang for several years, and had been through life and death countless times, and even lost one arm. These were all owed by Lu Bu Army and it was difficult to repay, but now it was sacrificed because of Shouchun. Xu Shu used to be a very cold-blooded person, but now he really couldn't bear it! If Xie Wen really said that he was a wish, Xu Shu would not blame him. If you want to blame him, you can only blame him for not being good at learning skills!

Xie Wen suddenly raised his head. This action made Liu Bei's spies smile happily. However, the intelligence personnel of Liu Mang's army in the dark sighed deeply. It's over, it's over, this Shouchun City is over. The people were originally very annoyed about the military rations. Now if they break the trust of the people, everything will be done.

"Let's go!" Liu Mangjun's intelligence captain sighed to his subordinates.

"Hmm? Captain? Where are we going?!" Teammates didn't understand.

"Let's go? I'll go to Lujiang and Guangzhou to find my lord! Shouchun can no longer be defended!" The intelligence captain couldn't help but shook his head as he looked at the prosperity of Shouchun. The entire Shouchun was devoted to all his energy. Hundreds of thousands of gold and hundreds of thousands of grains were all here. There was an industrial area here, and a night market here! There were also rows of houses made of cement, but all of this was about to be finished. Shouchun City was destroyed, and all this would be either destroyed or left to the enemy.

When the intelligence personnel seemed to understand and were about to leave with their captain, Xie Wen on the other side suddenly shouted loudly, "It's me who embezzled you. I cut off your food, I made you not have enough food, so what? Why can you guys get fertile land and enjoy 30% of the tax? It's just that you guys are going to starve to death, haha, hahahaha!" Xie Wen laughed wildly, laughing wildly, but only Xu Shu saw the tears falling from the corners of his eyes.

"No, no. Wen, you are not, you are not such a person!" Wu Wan'er wanted to say something, but was stopped by the personal guards. Xu Shu promised Xie Wen to take good care of Wu Wan'er, so he naturally would not go back on his word. Moreover, Wu Wan'er was pregnant, so he naturally could not do such a large-scale action. So Xu Shu asked the two personal guards to isolate Wu Wan'er.

"Wan'er, I'm sorry!" Xie Wen looked at his wife deeply. "Maybe, maybe I can't accompany you until you get old. Maybe, maybe I can't see our child born. Sorry! If there is a next life, I'm willing to repay it for the rest of my life!" Xie Wen told Wu Wan'er in his heart. As for whether she could hear it, Xie Wen could no longer care about so much.

"Impossible, how is it possible?!" There is another person who couldn't believe it, that was Liu Beijun's spy.

"What is this damn thing that says we are unfamiliar people, then what is he? It's him, it's him, it's him, it's him, it's him, it's him, it's him, it's him, it's him, it's everyone who smashes him, beating him, beating him, and beating him!" The people below were talking to Xie Wenheng, and he was pointed at by thousands of people. They couldn't beat Xie Wen because there was a white horse Congyi blocking him, but they could pick up a small stone and smash it over.

When Xu Shu heard Xie Wen's words, he felt joy in his heart, but more of a sense of powerlessness and self-blame. However, he immediately became more and more aware of sacrifice and dedication to the great cause of the country. This is not his ruthlessness, but this world is cruel, and this world is ruthless. If the world is peaceful and peaceful, such a scene will still occur! Now he is becoming more and more determined to help Liu Mang unify the world.

"You are bold and brave, you eat your salary, but you don't worry about it. For your own selfish interests, millions of people are ignored in life and death. This is a very serious crime and a huge sin. Today, I am the official will do the way for heaven and kill you for the people of Shouchun. People come to behead Xie Wen! "As he said that, Xu Shu threw the arrow down, and an executioner came to Caishikou. He held a big knife in his hand and looked at Xie Wen's head. Faced with such a life and death, Xie Wen seemed to have seen everything openly. He closed his eyes calmly, brothers, I'm here!

"No!" Accompanied by Wu Wan'er's desolate shouts, a blood splashed up, and a big head fell on the ground, and Xie Wen's headless body also lost control and fell on the ground. As Xie Wen fell, Wu Wan'er's fainting was also dead.

"Help Mrs. Xie go down!" Xu Shu owes Xie Wenliang a lot, so he can only feel guilty about Wu Wan'er's good contact.

"Everyone, everyone, the evil one has been eliminated. What else do you have to say?!" Xu Shu clasped his fists at the people below. The people below naturally had nothing to say. Although they had complaints about the reduction in their food rations, Xie Wen has been killed and the complaints have disappeared. Moreover, blood splashes on the head just now really scared many people. Now, a needle can be heard even when it falls in the field.

"If not, then Shu has a word here. Xie Wen is dead. Originally, three dou has turned into two dou, but now it has turned into three dou again. If you have already received rations, you can get one dou again. If you have not received it, you can get three dou."

"Military advisor, you!" The guards next to him were a little confused. They really lacked food. Originally, Zhao Yun reduced the supply of food to last longer. He wanted to delay time and stabilize the morale of the army after killing Xie Wen, but Xie Wen has taken the blame to the people. You have to give this food to the people! Isn't Xie Wen dead in vain!

Xu Shu did not explain on the spot that Xu Shu did this not because Xie Wenbai died, but that he had to do so. Although the people were pitiful, the people have always been oppressed. Whether it was the rise of dynasties or the destruction of dynasties, the people were unlucky, but there was another title among the people, which was called unlucky people, and foolish people. Poor people must have hateful things. They are easily encouraged by people. Who makes them read less and have poor ability to distinguish right from wrong? And one that can completely stabilize their hearts is the benefit! What can be seen and touched in front of you is the real thing that can make the people moved. You tell him how much you harvest in the year, how much, I only have 30% of the taxes, and how much you can get more food and other things! He may only smile, and he has no feeling after laughing, just like Xie Wen's death, although it scares them now. It also stabilizes them!

But this stability is not lasting. You may forget it after sleeping tomorrow. You will even continue to be fooled tomorrow, thinking that two dou of rice and grain is because there is not enough food and grass in Shouchun, and they will starve to death! Now Xu Shu gives real benefits. In this way, they can see and touch it. Even if they forget it, they will see the food they have and their own full stomach, they will remember from a new moment that a grain-release official was killed in Caishikou today, and Shouchun would not starve them to death.

"It's so calculating, so calculating!" Now that Liu Bei's spy was finally a little convinced. He could see that this was a completely different play of taking the blame to divert hatred and conflicts, but these people couldn't tell it.

"It's not easy to plot. I really have food and grass in the city!" Xu Shu said to the spy Liu Bei's army.

"Report!" A messenger suddenly came to the army to attack the horse. "Report to the military advisor, our army has arrived at the water camp. What should I do if it is done!"

"How to deal with it? Put it in the storage warehouse! Oh, by the way, let me take it over and see for the people, and for this hero from Yuzhou, whether I really lack food in Shouchun.

"Yes!" The messenger took the order and left, and then came trucks of food and grass, followed by trucks of big trucks, counting them carefully for tens of thousands of stones.

"How could it be! How could it be!" This spy from Liu Beijun was really speechless now. Those food and grass and those good cars would not deceive people. These are enough for Shouchun to eat for half a month.

Yes, I can only eat it for half a month! These food and grass are already all the food and grass in Shouchun. Xu Shu pulled him out all the food and grass in order to let the people see it, and to let the spies from Liu Bei's army in the city see it, and tell them that there are still a lot of food and grass in Shouchun. Don't waste your time implementing counter-espionage plan. If you guard against thieves for a thousand days, you will eventually be stolen, so it is better to dispel the thieves' minds.

"Impossible, impossible!" This spy from Liu Bei's army is not half of them. He has followed Liu Bei long ago and has already invaded Shouchun. After Guan Yu was driven out of Shouchun by Liu Mang's army, Pang Tong sent spies to join Shouchun.

It can be said that this spy can discover every move in Shouchun. The information he had found was that there was not much food and grass in Shouchun City, only half a month, and all signs showed that this was true, but why did there be another half month of food and grass now?

"Half month, half month!" This spy is not a fool. His eyes are very sharp and easy to think. If he doesn't have a brain and has good eyesight, how could he become the person in charge of Liu Bei's army in Shouchun? These two are so coincidental! He looked at the grain trucks, and suddenly he realized it. "Haha, haha. I know, I know! Xu Shu, Xu Shu! I deserve to be a disciple of Mr. Shui Jing. The plan is really linked to one link, but unfortunately, you are extravagant! "The spy sneered and his reaction made the people below start to pay attention again.

"What do you want to say?" Xu Shu's heart tightened. Who is this spy? What did he see?

"What I want to say is that there is only half a month left in your Shouchun City!" Liu Bei's spy sarcastically said.

"Half a month's food and grass? Haha, are you crazy! I didn't see that there are tens of thousands of stones here now enough for the first half of the month!" The guards next to me retorted! Now the grain and grass in the grain trucks on these official roads are enough for Shouchun City to use for more than half a month, how could it be short of food?

"Haha, this is all the food and grass in your Shouchun City!" Liu Bei's spy pointed to the grain trucks and said.

"Hmm?!" Xu Shu's eyes became sharp. He really didn't expect that Liu Bei's spy would see it, and a murderous intent became louder!

"What? Do you want to kill someone to silence you?" The spy shouted, "Everyone, come and see. The dignified Yangzhou military advisor is going to kill someone to silence you!" Liu Bei's military spy said this and successfully diverted the attention of most people.

"Do you want a military advisor?!" the captain of the guard next to him asked Xu Shu. As long as he stepped forward and moved the knife, he could directly make the spy of Liu Bei's army shut up forever. This would save him from making noise here.

"No need!" Xu Shu shook his head. It was not that he didn't want to kill this person, but that he couldn't kill it now, because most people were watching! If the people were killed now, they would definitely be suspicious. Moreover, Xu Shu was not sure whether this spy from Liu Bei's army really saw something, or was he coaxing himself, in order to make himself simulate the chaos and make a mistake.

"Tell me! I, Xu Shu, want to see what advice do you have!" Although Xu Shu called this man, his words were full of teasing.

"Military Secretary Xu Shu, it's really good qi cultivation skills, and I really feel ashamed of myself!" Liu Bei's military spy bowed to Xu Shu, saying that if it weren't for their own leadership, he would really want to make friends with Xu Shu, but it might not work now!

"Military Secretary Xu Shu, where did your messenger just now come from?!" Liu Bei's spy asked indifferently.

"You have your ears gone, and I didn't hear the messenger saying it was transported from Shouchun Water Village!" The captain of the guard beside him scolded Liu Bei's spy with rudeness.

"Of course there is no problem with my ears, and you are the ones who have problems!" Liu Beijun's spy said with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Not good!" Xu Shu raised his mind as soon as he heard this question. This person really realized that Xu Shu regretted that he really did this. Xu Shu couldn't help but touch the long sword beside him. Xu Shu's fencing technique was very fast. Even if he made the people suspicious, it would be better than being exposed now. He would go forward and kill the spy with one sword.

"But unexpectedly, Xu Shu was quicker, this spy was faster, and when Xu Shu took action, he turned over." When did not come out at this time, when would he wait?!" With the shout of Liu Bei's spy, many Liu Bei's spys emerged from the people. Although they were wearing cloth clothes, they held sharp blades in their hands.

"Protect the military advisor, protect the military advisor!" The white horses next to him formed a military formation in an instant and shouted loudly!

"Okay, now Xu Shu military advisor, you don't want to kill me!" Liu Bei's military spy smiled coldly. Dear fellow villagers, the batch of grain and grass that your military advisor Xu Shu said was not taken out of the Shouchun Water Village, but was taken out of his Shouchun storage warehouse. If it came from the Shouchun Village, these grain transport trucks would have to be stained with water stains or mud, but these grain transport trucks had nothing but dust. So these grain transport trucks had never taken out of the Shouchun Village! "This Liu Bei's military spy is really sharp-eyed. He can see such a small difference. It can be seen that this grain transport truck was not transported from the Shouzhuang.

"Yes, yes, there is no road in the Water Village. It is very muddy and difficult to walk. Although it has been repaired several times, it has become mud because of the soaking of rain. Therefore, if the grain truck comes from the Water Village, it must be stained with mud. But these grain trucks are so clean!" It is impossible that there is no food and grass in Shouchun! The people are in chaos again.

If Shouchun really has no food and grass, these people may suddenly rise up and open Shouchun City to welcome Liu Bei's army into the city!

"What are the villagers waiting for? How many days are these food and grass enough for you to eat? Do you want to starve to death after you finish eating? Hurry up and open the city gate, the Xuande Duke army is waiting for everyone with abundant food and grass!" This spy from Liu Bei's army is really despising. After saying that, the people have changed their appearance when they see Bai Ma Congyi.

"Who can take Xu Shu? Duke Xuande said that not only rewards 100 gold, but also wants to be a high-ranking official. This Shouchun prefect is yours!"

There must be a brave man under heavy rewards. With money, he can make the devil push. This spy from Liu Bei's army is really good at using people's hearts. To put it this way, some of the people who were originally from Shanyue and those who were full of righteousness had their own ideas. Shouchun Prefect! This is a big official position! Just take down Xu Shu! Although Xu Shu has a white horse, there are only a few dozen people. As for them, there are thousands of people here. Such a proportion can definitely take down Xu Shu.

Just as Xu Shu was about to fall into a critical moment of life and death, a war horse suddenly rushed over and said, "Report to the military advisor, someone from the Great Village of Shouchun Navy sent 100,000 stones of food and grass. How should the military advisor be placed?"

"100,000 grains and grass?" Liu Bei's military spy there was stunned and then sneered, "What! Military Advisor Xu Shu, do you still want to play the real thing?!"

"100,000 grains and grass?" Xu Shu was also stunned. When did he have such a thing? Moreover, the previous messenger was disguised by Baima Congyi, and this person was really the soldiers of the Water Village. "Let them transport them here!" Xu Shu said this by a god-in-law! The messenger took the order and left.

"Maybe there is really food and grass in Shouchun!" The people below also began to discuss. The bad eyes of Xu Shu just now were because Xu Shu lied to them. Instead of dying, it would be better to capture Xu Shu. But now it seems that there are really, so they naturally won't take risks!

"Hehe food? So what if I wait for you to climb for a while? I'll settle for this Shouchun City!" The people didn't take action with Xu Shu, who was protected by the white horse Congyi, and Liu Bei's spies couldn't do anything about him!

"Boom boom boom!" If the fake grain truck of Xu Shu was just perfunctory before, then this wave is real grain and grass now! Hundreds of grain trucks rushed directly to the Shouchun joint! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
