Speaking of which, everyone may not believe that Hua Yuan ran from Nansheng to Dongqing not to believe Huang Song or Jiang Pengji, he came to borrow grain with sincerity. Yes, that's right, Hua Yuan's purpose this time was to lobby the princes and borrow a batch of grain for the lord.

The Southern Barbarians destroyed the Nansheng, and they also tried to establish a regime to rule the remnants of the Nansheng who had died in the country, but their civilization was even more barbaric than that of the Northern Xinjiang, and they only knew how to destroy and did not know how to appease the people and recuperate. If there is a shortage of women, they will rob it, if they lack food, they will take it, and if they lack money, land, and manpower, they will use force to conquer, and the people of Nansheng will be miserable, and the forces around the country have revolted and attacked the Nanban.

However, fighting a war requires food, and it will also delay spring ploughing.

The delay in spring ploughing means that the year's harvest will turn into a bubble, and the food shortage will become more and more severe, which in turn will intensify the war.

It's a terrible vicious circle.

The food gap in Nansheng is getting bigger and bigger, and many big princes have to cut back on food and clothing, not to mention the small princes who don't mix well.

An Yi gained a firm foothold under Lü Zheng's scheme, and after annexing several minor princes, his power began to expand outward.

Expanding power requires capital, and the conditions for peace are too weak, and sometimes we have to pull sponsorship and support to tide over the difficulties temporarily.

This time borrowing grain is really a helpless move.

If you can't borrow food, it will be difficult for the people under your rule to survive until the next autumn harvest, let alone recruit troops and horses to enhance their strength.

What is "borrowing"?

Temporary use of other people's property.

Because of Nansheng's geographical location, it is impossible for them to borrow grain from Nanban, Zhongzhao is too far away, and they can only focus on Dongqing after thinking about it. Unexpectedly, Dongqing fought upside down, Jiang Pengji and Huang Song, the plastic brothers and sisters, pinched you to death, and no one looked like a landlord with surplus grain. Even if there is surplus food, it is estimated that these two people will not let go easily, this is Hua Yuan's conclusion after studying the temperament of the two.

Needless to say, Jiang Pengji is shrewd and cunning, she refuses to suffer anything she eats, and it is far more difficult to fool her than Hua Yuan imagined.

Ordinary people borrow money with interest, black businessmen also pay attention to nine out of thirteen returns, and grain is rarer than gold in troubled times.

It's easy to lend food, but it's even harder to get it back.

Jiang Pengji and An Ming's friendship was limited to the cooperation of the Red Lotus Sect and the brief meeting of the Huangshui Alliance, so did he expect people to lend An Xuan a large amount of grain without interest? Before arriving in Dongqing, Hua Yuan had some thoughts, and then it was gone.

Before Hua Yuan went out to borrow grain, Lu Zheng, the chief strategist under An Yuan's account, also gave him a cool song.

"There are still some possibilities on Huang Song's side, and Liu Xi has no hope. Lu Zheng said.

When Jiang Pengji was studying in Langya County, he also dealt with Jiang Pengji and knew how good this person was.

The thousand-year-old vixen can only be brushed and played by her.

Even if Hua Yuan has the ability, if he encounters her, he will probably sink into the sand.

Hua Yuan didn't know how difficult Jiang Pengji's strategy was, so he said recklessly, "How do you know if you don't give it a try? It is said that she has been doing business well over the years, and several big battles have been fought on other people's territory, and the territory under her rule has been smooth and rainy, and she doesn't know how much to hoard in grain storage. Speaking of which, Liu Xi is a rich landlord who does not worry about food during the New Year. ”

Not to mention Jiang Pengji's own earnings, Liu Xi has prepared a lot of funds for her.

Even if she didn't stretch out her hand to Liu She, it seems to outsiders that the father and daughter are indistinguishable from each other, and the resources accumulated by Liu She are all for her daughter.

Lu Zheng shook his head, "If you have the opportunity to see her, you will know what kind of virtue she is." ”

Hua Yuan said, "You also had some friendship with her when she was a teenager, why, she was difficult to entangle before?"

"It's very difficult, when she was studying in Langya, she was the evil star that everyone avoided. If you borrow food from her, you will already be in a better mood and be more ruthless......" Lu Zheng paused when he said this, and his expression became a little strange.

Hua Yuan: "......"

Nine out of thirteen, this is not bad with the money of India.

The more Lu Zheng said this, the more curious Hua Yuan became about Jiang Pengji, after all, this was the first female prince in history who dared to compete with the male princes of the world. If a woman does not have extraordinary ability, how can she convince so many talents to be driven by her willingly?

Result –

When Hua Yuan came to Dongqing, he found that the two were inseparable.

Fighting a war is an activity of burning money and grain, and if you don't have enough food at home, how can you lend it to others?

Even if Hua Yuan wanted to borrow money from Yinzi, I was afraid that Huang Song and the others didn't want to give it to him.

There is no way to do it through serious channels, so you can only find a way to save the country.

Hua Yuan carefully studied the entire battle situation, keenly found that Chenzhou was profitable, and immediately rushed to Chenzhou through thick and thin.

Yuan Xin and Nie Xun did not agree, the former used a knife to injure the latter, and was forced to jump up and down by Jiang Pengji's 50,000 army-

"God help me!"

A plan takes shape quickly in the mind.

Hua Yuan rubbed his hands excitedly, he knew how to empty the white wolf.

Nie Xun and Yuan Xin's relationship is incompatible and his life is in danger, and the possibility of Hua Yuan's identity being exposed is minimized.

Yuan Xin was conceited and unruly in temperament, he refuted Nie Xun's suggestion, and at the same time despised Hua Yuan, conceited Hua Yuan did not dare to play tricks.

As everyone knows, Hua Yuan's ability to manipulate people's hearts is higher than Nie Xun's.

Both he and Nie Xun put forward the suggestion of clearing the wilderness, and the only difference was the final placement and disposal of the grain.

Nie Xun suggested that the grain be sent to the border of Haozhou, which can not only prevent Jiang Pengji from fighting to feed the war, but also support the Huang Song army on the front line nearby.

Hua Yuan's suggestion was very different, and he suggested that Yuan Xin transport the grain to the south of Chenzhou, on the grounds that the south was the rear area.

The reason he gave was also very powerful, using grain as bait to lure Jiang Pengji's army to go further behind enemy lines, and it was too late for her to retreat, and the food carried by the 50,000 army was not enough for them to rush out of Chenzhou, so they could only be trapped in the hinterland of Chenzhou, and died because of lack of food and water.

As everyone knows, Hua Yuan gathered the grain to the south of Chenzhou just to facilitate the sheep.

When he left, he didn't touch the original letter's things, but imitated the notes and sigils of the original letter and made a fake order.

When the original letter realized that it was not good, Hua Yuan took the grain away in a grand manner.

If it weren't for Jiang Pengji's unreasonable cards and disrupting the established game, it would have been a few days later for Yuan Xin to react.

Nie Xun realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly notified Yuan Xin to send troops to chase food.

Yuan Xin didn't believe it at first, he thought that Nie Xun was deliberately finding fault, but thinking of Hua Yuan's various behaviors, Yuan Xin sent troops to chase after him. The time difference of two or three days, when the soldiers and horses sent by the original letter arrived at the place where the grain was stored, they found that the grain depot was empty-

Keep chasing—
