Chapter 457: External Troubles and Internal Troubles

Are these the sources of infection?

Everyone looked at these energetic mice in disbelief.

"Don't underestimate them!"

Guo Jia smiled faintly and said, "Rats are animals with a strong sense of territory, and once they encounter an alien intruder, they will attack them in groups. Just throw a sick rat in a corner and it will soon be able to infect the entire colony. These infected rats in turn can infect other animals and then humans. Since human resistance is not on the same level as rats, a large-scale plague will break out. ”

I see!

Everyone nodded in realization.

If a sick person comes in, they will definitely not be able to escape the guards' examination, but if a few rats are brought in, I am afraid that no one will notice.

After some explanation, Guo Jia immediately asked the two medical students to take the infected rats back to Haosheng's care.

Rats are very resistant to toxicity, far from being comparable to humans, and this is a living source of the virus that will surely come in handy in the future.

"Lord!"

Xi Zhong said angrily: "This Liu Yu is too frustrated, we must not let him go." ”

Although the others did not speak, their faces also showed anger.

Such means have gone beyond the normal scope of the struggle.

Liu Yu's act of death has succeeded in attracting the anger of everyone.

Very good!

Guo Jia nodded.

"Creating a plague, causing trouble in Yunzhou, and receiving merchants are just Liu Yu's first steps. The second step was to cooperate with other warlords to cut off the trade routes in Yunzhou. Now Yuan Shutun Nanyang, Cao Cao Tundong County, Yuan Shao occupies Qingzhou, has cut off Jingzhou, Yuzhou Yanzhou and the sea to Jizhou grain route, this guy has sinister intentions, wants to completely trap Yunzhou. ”

Cut off the grain route?

The crowd looked at each other a little.

Seeing that the others didn't quite understand, Xi Zhong coughed, as the general manager of Yunzhou, he had mastered all the logistics, and he was very clear about this matter.

"As the border trade center of Dahan, Yunzhou has an annual flow of tens of millions. A huge population requires a large amount of food to be consumed. Yunzhou has poor land and little grain, so all consumption depends on outside transportation. In the past, Jizhou was our largest grain delivery warehouse. However, with the successive changes in Jizhou in recent years, the grain that can be delivered is limited. So we have developed three grain routes. One is the route from Jingzhou to Jizhou and then to Yunzhou, one is the route from Yuzhou to Jizhou, and the last one is the route from Jiangnan to Qingzhou and then transported to Jizhou. But the three-day route has now been nailed. In other words, our foreign food routes have been cut off. ”

What the?

The crowd was shocked.

Food is the foundation of the country, and once it is cut off, it will inevitably cause panic.

And that's not all!

Guo Jia said lightly: "This official also received news that there was a turmoil among the Wuhuan people in Yuyang, and 50,000 Wuhuan people began to gradually approach Yunzhou under the leadership of the leader Qiu Liju. ”

Guangyang Taishou Cheng Yu reported to Guo Jia through Tianwang as soon as possible, and Zhang Liao, the commander of Guangyang, also prepared to fight.

50,000 Wuhuan people!

Everyone's faces were a little unpleasant.

Liu Yu is the captain of the Wuhuan school, and without his nod, these Wuhuan people may not be so blatantly stationed at the border of Guangyang.

It seems that this Liu Yu is ready to fight.

Other than that!

Guo Jia coughed.

"Youbeiping Taishou Gongsun Zan is leading an army of 30,000 to Zhuojun."

Gongsun Chan!

Everyone was annoyed.

This Liu Yu also rubbed his nose.

Can 50,000 Wuhuan and 30,000 Youzhou soldiers swallow Yunzhou?

Lord!

Zhao Yun hugged his fists and said: "We must not sit still, since the enemy has put the rope around our neck, we naturally have to fight back and deal with them." ”

"Yes, the enemy has sinister intentions, cut off our grain routes, and surrounded us with heavy troops, so we must strike first."

Xu Huang also nodded, although they didn't know much about politics, they also knew that the situation was very critical.

He is still very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Yunzhou army, and the Han army has almost no opponents.

Not busy, not busy!

Guo Jia smiled faintly and waved his hand.

"Liu Yu also took it for granted, thinking that if our food channel was cut off, we would be in a hurry. I'm afraid he didn't expect that we also had a lot of food reserves. ”

As the creator of the Zhongshan model, Guo Jia is very clear about the pros and cons of this kind of commercial center, so he has formulated relevant measures early on.

Guancang is also an experience that Guo Jia learned from later generations.

As a purely commercial city, Yunzhou has always relied on foreign imports for food, but Guo Jia knows that this is very dangerous.

Once the grain is controlled by outsiders, Yunzhou's strategy will fall into passivity.

So in order to solve this problem, Guo Jia set up the concept of the official warehouse early on.

When grain is cheap, a large number of grain is purchased and stored, and when grain prices rise, a large number of grain prices are thrown out to calm grain prices, so that grain prices in Yunzhou have always maintained a stable situation.

What the lord says is true!

Xi Zhong also had a smile on his face.

"The matter of food, the lord has already considered it. Since three years ago, the official warehouse was established, and when the grain was abundant, a large amount of stock was purchased. Even if there is not a grain of grain in the entire Yunzhou, we can still support it for more than half a year. ”

Oh!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time admired Guo Jia even more.

The lord had long thought about the problem of food.

If that's the case, these problems are solved.

Just when everyone relaxed, an unexpected thing happened.

A few pawns rushed in in a panic.

"Oh no, no, the Dock Fort's granary is on fire."

What the?

Guo Jia stood up in surprise.

Zhangjiawu Fort is the place where Yunzhou stores grain and important materials, and once it is burned, it will definitely cause turmoil in the entire Yunzhou.

This had just pacified the crowd with food, and in the blink of an eye, the grain was burned.

It's really a slap in the face and doesn't stay overnight!

"Hurry up and put out the fire!"

Xi Zhong paused and said.

Fighting the fire is urgent, and the meeting naturally can't go on.

Zhao Yun and Xu Huang immediately led their troops to put out the fire.

The stakes were very high, and Guo Jia immediately led everyone to the outside of the dock fort.

Zhangjiawu Fort was left by the Zhang family of Zhongshan Haoqiang, said to be Wubao, in fact, it is a small military fortress, there is an underground water source, very spacious.

For a long time, Guo Jia has used this place as a military camp for soldiers.

Later, the granaries were rebuilt, supplemented by heavy army handles.

I didn't expect that there was a fire here.

The grain stored here in Yunzhou will be in danger once it is destroyed.

As a result, countless armies began to fight fires.

Just as everyone was working together to put out the fire, a black shadow flashed out of the dock fort, and not long after a carrier pigeon was released, the carrier pigeon flapped its wings a few times, and immediately disappeared into the distance.
