Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Vol 2 Chapter 174: see through

Chang'an City was as calm and peaceful as before. With Lu Bu's departure, the market in the daytime seemed to be much more lively than before.

Xu Rong didn't know where the opponent's attack would come from, so he was always on guard and closely monitored everyone.

"The price of food has been much cheaper recently." Jia Xu, who was yawning in boredom, suddenly heard the words of the steward who went out to buy for the house.

This is not a big deal, but it is abnormal!

Lv Bu used up a lot of grain and grass for disaster relief before, and the land tax has just been introduced. This year is another disaster year. In order to stabilize the price of grain, Lv Bu has been selling grain to the common people at a fair price, because many families took the opportunity to pretend to be common people to buy large amounts of grain. There is also a purchase restriction order.

The Guanzhong nobility have always wanted to use this to bring down Lu Bu, especially when Lu Bu is now going to Nanyang, when there is a shortage of food!

Official food can't be any lower, it doesn't make sense, so the cheap food should be private food!

Jia Xu turned his head, looked at the steward and said, "Where did the grain price drop?"

"Patriarch, the price of food in the city, except for official food, has dropped." The steward smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the city now, people outside the city are flocking to Chang'an after hearing the news!"

Jia Xu stroked his beard, and on his fleshy face, his eyes narrowed slightly, almost invisible.

Are you going to start?

Jia Xu shook his head, and strolled along the streets of Chang'an City as in the past. Now that he has gained the trust of Lu Bu, he doesn't need to be guarded by Fatty Dian, but don't mention it, without Fatty Dian by his side, Jia Xu feels lack some sense of security.

Looking at the suddenly bustling streets of Chang'an, Jia Xu, who was wearing a plain robe but was white and plump, was a bit eye-catching. After all, there are very few rich and noble people who wear plain clothing these days, but a family as white and plump as this can never be bad, really. Weird.

Jia Xu seemed to be walking through the door. He first went to the Jingzhao Yin Ya Office, and then went to the City Guard Office. He turned around the major offices in Chang'an. He looked very friendly and could chat with people. , said for a long time, and then aimlessly went to the next government office, so after the crowd swayed to the west, he appeared at the city guard office again in the evening.

"Sir, you really have a good plan. Someone is really following him in secret." The people from the City Guard Office welcomed Jia Xu in, and Xu Rong led him into the back hall and smiled.

"I beg your general to send someone to my house to say something, and he said that he will be out for a few days to visit friends, and come back in a few days, don't read it!" Jia Xu sat down and bowed to Xu Rong.

"Sir isn't going back?" Xu Rong said unexpectedly.

"The chaos is imminent. There are many people secretly peeping when I go out. If I go back, I may not be able to protect myself during the chaos. It's better here, General." Jia Xu shook his head.

Near Xu Rong's City Guard Office, there are scouts who are best at reconnaissance watching everywhere. It is impossible to set up eye lines here.

"How do you know that chaos is imminent, sir?" Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu in surprise.

"The price of food in the city has dropped." Jia Xu took a sip of the hot wine that Hao Zhao handed him over. After wandering around the city on a cold day, it was also comfortable to drink a cup of hot wine to chill out.

Food prices fell?

Xu Rong, who was sitting down, looked at Jia Xu in amazement.

"Now that the lord is going on expedition, it is when there is a shortage of food. Those Guanzhong gentry did not take the opportunity to raise prices to cause confusion. Instead, the price reduction was obviously helping the lord. The general thinks that these people really have the heart to help the lord stabilize the rear?" Jia Xu asked with a smile.

"That's it." Xu Rong smiled and said, "Can the gentleman see how these people are going to do it?"

"People from the countryside, but they got the news of the grain price so quickly. I think there are people of great kindness wandering around to tell you." Jia Xu looked at Xu Rong and asked, "It seems that the general also knows something strange?"

Xu Rong nodded: "The city guards will check the people entering the city every day. The number of people entering the city and the number of people leaving the city are very different these days, but there are no refugees in the city..."

Xu Rong praised: "The lord has chosen a general to sit in Chang'an, and he really has a good eye!"

"I wanted to ask Mr. for advice recently, but I didn't want Mr. to come here." Xu Rong smiled politely after a few words.

Before he left, Lu Bu had explained that if there was any undecided matter, he could ask Jia Xu. Xu Rong originally planned to go to Jia Xu to ask for advice, but Jia Xu himself came first.

Jia Xu smiled and said nothing. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Since he knew that the chaos in Chang'an was imminent, and as a recognized member of Lu Bu, and without Dian Wei by his side to protect him, Jia Xu naturally had to find a safe place.

Xu Rong is obviously safe enough here. As the general guarding that Lu Bu stayed behind, Jia Xu believed that Xu Rong was capable, so he came, and Xu Rong did not disappoint him. By Xu Rong's side, even if he loses in the end, he doesn't have to worry about his life.

"Since the other party has already started, Mistress's side..." Jia Xu suggested to Xu Rong.

Lu Bu values ​​his family even more than his rights. Jia Xu has a clear understanding of this. If something happens to Lu Bu's family, Jia Xu is worried that Lu Bu will run wild!

"Don't worry, sir, the last commander has already invited the mistress and the young master out and moved them to a safe place! No one will notice. Others only know that the master's family is still in the mansion." Xu Rong smiled.

As for how it was removed, since Xu Rong didn't say it, Jia Xu wouldn't ask. This kind of thing is actually a great achievement and a skill, and it can be shown off if you say it. Jia Xu will never ask more questions, it is easy to provoke people.

After determining the basic bottom line, the next step is how to deal with it.

The opponent's strategy is actually not bad. In the art of war, this method can often be unexpected. In the case of Chang'an's curfew, using this method to send people into the city and hide it can indeed play a role of unknowing. Effect.

It is a pity that they met Jia Xu, who was very down-to-earth, and Xu Rong, who was rigorous and not lacking in strategy. Still complacent.

"If the enemy army wants to occupy Chang'an, they must first grab the city gate. However, Chang'an has 12 city gates. It is difficult for our army to take full care of the defense, and there is not enough manpower to deal with the chaos in the city. I would think that all the parties need to leave a city gate, and there is no need to waste too much troops." Under the dim light, Xu Rong began to explain his plan to Jia Xu.

"The second is the Imperial Palace. If your Majesty is captured by the enemy army, or if your Majesty suffers any loss, it will be difficult to represent him to the main bus, so there should be someone to guard here!"

"Slow!" Jia Xu shook his head, pointed to the location of the palace on the map, and said, "The palace walls are all guarded, so I'm afraid the general's troops are still not enough."

Xu Rong nodded, but these places are not allowed to be lost, but the troops stationed in Chang'an are indeed limited. After all, although there are a lot of 50,000 soldiers and horses left by Lu Bu, they are the number of frames for the entire audience. Some time has been secretly allocated, but it is still not enough. He looked at Jia Xu with some doubts and said, "What should Mr. Yi mean?"

"Since it's not enough, why not use the palace as bait, invite His Majesty out of the city to attack the city in advance, and then block the four gates after these people enter the palace..." Jia Xu looked at Xu Rong and said, "In this case, the general can do whatever he wants? "

"Sir..." Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu and made a slashing gesture: "Kill?"

Jia Xu hurriedly shook his head: "The killing is too much, it will hurt the peace of the world. Besides, the lord wants to promote agricultural affairs in Guanzhong, and he needs people. If the general kills like this, he will win in the end, and it will not benefit the people!"

Jia Xu almost felt Lu Bu's pulse. It's best not to do this kind of wanton massacre.

"That Mr. means..." Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu in confusion.

"These are mostly tenant farmers of various families. Those who are willing to surrender and confess to the master's family can save them from death. They only need to kill the first evil.

Anyway, what Guanzhong lacks is more farmland directly controlled by the imperial court to migrate the people of Nanyang, and the population is also lacking, but what is lacking is tenant farmers. As for those local tyrants... As a rebel, since they lose, they have to bear the corresponding responsibility. The risk of surrendering his family business and his life...not too much.

"In this way..." Xu Rong groped his chin: "The lord got the land, you and I got the merit, these tenant farmers..."

"I also have a body of freedom, everyone is happy!" Jia Xu said with a smile.

To exchange the sacrifice of a few people for the happiness of most people, this strategy of myself... Although there are some killings, but still benevolence is the foundation. Since I followed the lord, the evil thoughts in my heart have become less and less, and it is full of benevolence and righteousness~

"Everyone is happy!" Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu, nodded with a bit of awe, destroying his clan, seizing his property, and destroying his name, this gentle-looking Mr. Wen He really used a trick. It's extremely hot!

"The final commander will arrange this!" After standing up and bowing to Jia Xu, Xu Rong was about to change his initial plan according to Jia Xu's words~www.NovelMTL.com~ Jia Xu's move obviously saved more troops and trouble.

"General, wait a minute?" Seeing that Xu Rong was about to leave, Jia Xu quickly stopped Xu Rong. After Xu Rong left, his sense of security suddenly weakened.

"Sir, what else can you advise?" Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu suspiciously.

"It's been a long time since I came here, why haven't I seen General Hua Xiong? But he has official business?" Jia Xu asked suspiciously.

As Lu Bu's generals in Chang'an, Xu Rong and Hua Xiong were both wise and brave, and they complemented each other well. Why do I see Xu Rong but not Hua Xiong?

"This..." The corner of Xu Rong's mouth twitched, and he looked at Jia Xu and said seriously: "General Xu Rong has been in a bad mood these few days, he doesn't want to see anyone, and has been playing with the young master."

not in a good mood? Play with the young master?

Jia Xu raised his eyebrows, keenly aware that there was something tricky about it, but as a cautious counselor, Jia Xu's first rule as a counselor is not to be curious about other people's secrets, and the cause of many disasters is curiosity. this one, so...

"He is in the backyard, the young master and the others are all there. The city guard office has secretly expanded a lot. In order to avoid suspicion, the ladies are in a connected house. If the gentleman wants to see him, he should be able to see him when he goes there. "

"I see." Jia Xu nodded, got up and smiled, "I haven't seen each other for some time, so I'll see you now."

"Farewell!"

"Walk slowly!"

After Jia Xu said goodbye to Xu Rong, he went to the backyard and saw an unforgettable scene...
