I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

After starting to act, Zhao Yun took Zitong as the starting point, and took hundreds of thousands of people from Bashu to the homes of these powerful families to ask for food. Trembling on Wubao, he could only mutter to himself, "How did it become like this!"

Although this scene was often dreamed of by the nobles here after the big attack on Hanzhong, no matter how much they dreamed, they would never have imagined that it would be the soldiers and horses of the imperial court who would do it!

"If you don't open the city gate, you will attack the city." Facing Zhao Yun's threat, the powerful and powerful people had no choice but to open the gate, so that all the food would be taken by Zhao Yun's subordinates. Move away!
Zhao Yun's actions were very fast. In one place in Guanghan County alone, he obtained tens of millions of shi of grain, and then he led the people to transport the grain to Hanzhong to solve Liu Bei's food crisis.

And because the transportation of grain and grass this time is no longer considered corvee, every civilian can get food, so the enthusiasm and efficiency of transportation are extremely high, and it even affected Guanghan's rebellion.

They saw the people coming down the mountain to help Liu Bei transport grain, so they could get grain and grass for the winter.Although many people felt sorry for Guan Hai, they still secretly went down the mountain to make a living and joined the team of transporting food and grass. Zhao Yun did not refuse anyone, no matter the old or the weak, women or children, they could work according to the level of the labor force. Get food to survive.

Therefore, under Zhao Yun's method, although no military force was dispatched, the power of using food to lure was as great. The number of people in Guan Hai's hands quickly dropped from more than a hundred thousand to less than 5, and the number continued to decline. , Guan Hai has nothing to do with such a thing.

But Zhao Yun's actions caused a huge shock and even panic in the whole Bashu.The nobles felt that they were deceived and betrayed by Liu Bei. Zhao Yun's method was completely copycat and the practice of the Dagan army in the Central Plains.They supported Liu Bei to fight against the Dagan army.It was to protect his family, but now it's all right, Liu Bei robbed them of all their food.If they knew that Liu Bei was doing this, they might as well surrender to Lei Gong earlier, maybe they could still leave some property in this way.

The noble families in Guanghan County fled to Chengdu one by one, crying to the court.He asked Yuan Ji angrily, "Are you involved in all this?"

Yuan Ji is the leader of the powerful families in the world, and it can even be said that he is the hope of the noble families in the world. As the number two figure in Liu Bei's army, he uses this method to obtain food and grass. It can be said that the powerful families in Sichuan feel that Yuan Ji has betrayed them , all the anger was vented on him!

And Yuan Ji was taken aback by Zhao Yun's way of playing. He didn't know what happened, whether Liu Bei knew about it or not.But he knew that if he didn't stop Zhao Yun's actions, the entire Bashu land would become turbulent.

So he went to Guanghan County to find Zhao Yun, stopped his behavior and said: "Zilong, do you know what you are doing? You are trying to subjugate the big man. The big man has been able to resist the big army all these years, relying on the clans The help of the gentry. What you do is simply making your loved ones hurt, and your enemies quick."

Zhao Yun took out Liu Bei's letter and said to Yuan Ji: "Of course I know what I'm doing. I reported this matter to the general, and the general agreed. Chang Shi also knows that the front line is short of food, and the land of Bashu You have already requisitioned the food from the people, and the common people have no food. Now only the elites and nobles have food. If you don’t want to find a way to get their food out, can the frontline battle continue?
The importance of Hanzhong to Bashu is also known to Chang Shi. If Hanzhong is lost, can the land of Bashu be kept? "

Zhao Yun was also dissatisfied with Yuan Ji, although he knew that it was very difficult for Yuan Ji to collect food from Bashu in the past two years.It can be seen from the fact that he has aged by more than ten years in the past two years.

But his birth still made it difficult for him to collect food fairly in central Shu. He only saw that the people in Ba and Shu had already collected all the food from him, but the food of the powerful and noble families had not moved much, and it could even be said that there was no corvee. How many nobles are arranged? You must know that the nobles in central Shu are extremely powerful, and the population they control exceeds one million. As long as these nobles take out half of the grain and the population to transport grain and grass, the people in central Shu will not be like this Difficult, even to the point of not being able to survive.

It can be said that he did not treat the people and nobles in Bashu fairly and justly at all, which is why the current situation has come into being.If he had borrowed food from the powerful and noble families earlier, the land of Bashu would not be in turmoil, so that he was caught by the big army.

But Yuan Ji did not necessarily do anything wrong. The nobles in Bashu also received land taxes according to the law, and donated a batch of grain to help the court stabilize the situation in Bashu. Lei Gong relied on the people, and the court could only rely on the nobles. It is very difficult for the imperial court to leave the support of the nobles, so he tried hard to persuade: "But you can't use this method to get food. You stop your current behavior first, and I will find a way to help the army solve the food problem."

Zhao Yun sneered and said: "Now I have solved this problem. The entire Guanghan County has 1000 million hours of grain. Now the only trouble is to transport these grains to Hanzhong. Now the people of Hanguang County are willing to help me transport the grain to Dahan." , just give them 3 shi of grain a month to support their families, and at most two months, the grain can go to Hanzhong to solve the half-year food and grass problem of the army!"

Instead, Yun wanted to ask Chang Shi, where is there any place to grow food in Yizhou now?It seems that all the land along the way of Yun is barren, and the common people are going to starve to death. The only way to solve this problem now is to find food.Chang Shi didn't let Yun Lai find a way to get food, so could Chang Shi have a way to get food himself?If he could really take care of the people in Bashu, Yun would let Chang Shi do these things! "

Yuan Ji's face became extremely ugly when Zhao Yun asked him such a question. He knew that only the nobles in Sichuan had food in their hands, but it was obviously impossible for him to get food from them.

So Zhao Yun said to Yuan Ji: "The general also knows Chang Shi's embarrassment, let Chang Shi go to the front line, and the front line also needs Chang Shi's help. Let Yunlai guard the land of Bashu."

Yuan Ji said helplessly: "Zilong, you really don't worry about the nobles in the land of Bashu, just like this, and go directly to Lei Gong. If Yizhou is lost by then, the entire Han Dynasty will perish!"
