My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 266
Is there food in Luoyang?

Yes, and many.

"Book of Rites King System" stated: "If a country has no savings for nine years, it is said to be insufficient; if it has no savings for six years, it is said to be urgent; if it has no savings for three years, it is said that the country is not its own country."

It shows that our country had the embryonic form of granaries at least in the Zhou Dynasty.

In 1970, archaeologists discovered the ruins of granaries in the middle and late Warring States period in Luoyang, the ancient capital of thousands of years. A total of 74 granary cellars were found, showing a layout of rows from east to west and columns from north to south.

The bottom of the grain cellar is small, about ten meters deep, and there are relics of green paste mud, boards and rice bran on the bottom of the cellar, which has a good moisture-proof effect.The top of the cellar is higher than the ground, and the top is covered with tiles.The discovery of the granary of the Warring States Period in Luoyang shows that ancient times paid great attention to grain storage.

Then in the Han Dynasty hundreds of years later, this number will only increase and not decrease, which is one of the main reasons why so many forces envy and envy Dong Zhuo.

In ancient times, when marching and fighting, the army did not move, but the food and grass went first.

Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou army is certainly very powerful, but without enough food and grass to support it, Dong Zhuo's alliance only needs to besiege the city for three months, and it can easily take down one city after another. A mere Lu Bu is not a human being, but a human being needs to eat.

If there is no such solid logistical support, no matter how brave Lu Bu is alone, it is useless, just like Lu Bu in the later period, he is almost a bereaved dog...

Of course, now is not the time to talk about how unbearable Lu Bu is, but Wei's five thousand Longshan Army is stationed by the Yellow River, which has aroused the fear of many forces.

Although it was reported that Wei's target was Luoyang's granary, no one could guarantee that they would really go back to attack Luoyang.

You must know that the closest to Hedong County is Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi in the east, and Nanyang where Yuan Shu is in the south... No matter which bone it is, it is easier to chew than Dong Zhuo.

As for Hongnong across the river, that is not considered. The Baibo army is still raging in Hongnong. Let alone whether there is any food to grab, even if there is, it is not worth the loss.

Yingchuan.

Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, hurriedly found Wei Gong who was researching information from all parties in the tent.

"Wei already knows why Wang Taishou came here. Don't worry, Wei will not attack Hanoi County."

Wang Kuang smiled awkwardly, heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively said: "Thank you, Uncle Wen, for your peace of mind, I was terrified when I got the news this morning. Use troops against Luodu, hehehe."

Wei Gong raised his eyes to look at him, frowned and said: "Wang Taishou thinks it's wrong?"

Wang Kuang was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, it's just that the alliance is retreating now. I just think that if Wei Shi had helped him two months earlier, why should he be afraid of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu? My friend said yes and no. ?”

"Ha ha……"

Wei Gong sneered and didn't answer, but looked at the calligraphy in his hand, and put it where Wang Kuang could see it.

Wang Kuang glanced instinctively, and couldn't help but look horrified, and exclaimed: "You, you conspired with Sun Wentai?"

Wei Gong picked up the hot water from the stove beside him, poured himself a bowl, and flushed the scented tea in the bowl.

A faint fragrance of wild chrysanthemum lingers in the tent.

Wang Kuang had no intention of tasting, but waited for Wei Gong's answer.

Wei Gong took a bamboo stick, gently plucked the petals, and said, "Wang Taishou should know that I, Wei, and Liu Jingsheng have revenge for killing my son, right?"

Wang Kuang nodded. He had indeed heard about Xu Huang beheading Liu Cong, Liu Biao's second son, in public.

"That's right, even you know that Wei Shi and Liu Jingsheng have a grudge against each other, so do other people think so?"

Wei Gong laughed at himself, and said quietly: "There are many things that cannot be explained clearly. Prefect Wang just took a look and concluded that I, Mrs. Wei, and Prefect Sun conspired. Then Wei has nothing to explain."

Wang Kuang frowned, watching Wei Gong take back the signature, he always felt that he was in a fog, wondering what Wei Gong meant?
But after all, he came from a famous family, and he is also a close friend with the celebrity Cai Yong, so he is definitely not stupid.

After rounding the corner, Wang Kuang suddenly asked: "Your friend, what you mean is that the Wei family did not conspire with Sun Jian, what's more, the news is false, and the Wei family has no plans to use troops against Luodu?"

Wei Gong picked up the tea bowl, breathed lightly, and said with a smile: "Why can't Wei understand what Wang Taishou said?"

Wang Kuang's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.

This Wei family is playing a big game of chess!

I feel sorry for Dong Zhuo, I don't know how he feels now, anyway, if I were him instead, he must be driven crazy.

In fact, it is true.

Luoyang.

The former General's Mansion.

Dong Zhuo paced back and forth anxiously in front of the crowd, which was a rare way for him to appear fearful and cowardly.

After being pampered and pampered in Luoyang for nearly half a year, Dong Zhuo now has lost the robustness and fortitude he had when he met Wei Cheng.

At this time, using 'Dong Fatty' to describe him is very appropriate.

"What exactly does Wei Zhongdao want to do...what exactly does Wei Zhongdao want to do?"

Dong Zhuo kept complaining while walking back and forth, expressing his deep dissatisfaction with the behavior of Wei's raising troops to the south.

However, what can he do if he is dissatisfied? At this moment, he knows that even if an army of 20 is against Shangwei's [-] city guards, there is probably no chance of winning.

Why did he keep wooing Wei Cheng earlier, even after Wei Cheng rejected his kindness several times, he insisted on giving Bingzhou to Wei Cheng, just to make a good impression on Wei Cheng... I, Dong Zhuo, and yours On the one hand, we are allies.

It's a pity that Wei Cheng didn't like him at all.

When Dong Zhuo was suggested to watch "Lu Buwei", if Dong Zhuo hadn't misunderstood, the two might still be friends now.

Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo is still the Dong Zhuo in history.

Especially after replacing He Jin's position, Dong Zhuo inevitably swelled up after possessing the power of less than one person and more than ten thousand people.

In the beginning, he was able to restrain his subordinates from harming the common people, but now he has extended his fat hands to the harem by any means.

The wheel of history did not turn around here in Dong Zhuo, but intensified.

A few days ago, Wang Yun gave him two beauties, Dong Zhuole was among them, and he had already forgotten such an external hidden danger as Wei Cheng.

It wasn't until Li Jue's arrival brought the news that the Wei family had moved south, that he suddenly remembered.

Apart from Yuan Shao's pigs, there is also Wei Cheng, an inconspicuous figure, like a huge sword, hanging above his head from time to time, and he doesn't know when it will suddenly fall down and stab him to death.

"My lord, for the present plan, the only solution is to send people to the north to seek peace. What the Wei family wants is just some food, and we will give it to him. Why should we meet him hand-to-hand?" Li Ru, a counselor, made a suggestion.

However, Jia Xu who was at the side suddenly said: "If it is really that simple, my lord needn't be so uneasy. I'm afraid that Wei's request for food is just an excuse, and attacking with troops is the original intention."

Dong Zhuo squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them.

Li Ru frowned, snorted coldly at Jia Xu, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I would like to personally lobby the Wei family to withdraw."

Jia Xu sneered and closed her eyes without saying a word.

He also judged others by himself, thinking that Wei's making such a big splash couldn't be just for some food.

Moreover, with the current strong position of the Wei family, it seems that it is only a matter of time before Luodu is taken down... Unfortunately, he was wrong, the Wei family has Wei Cheng, and what Wei Cheng wants is to get everything he wants at the lowest price .

A person like Jia Xu, a poisoner, who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals, can't understand Wei Cheng's brain circuit anyway.
